THE INAUGURATION We were deprived the pleasure of being present at the glorious in auguration of the Democratic Head Quarters on Saturday afternoon and evening, on account of a pre vious engagement to participate with our friends - of Union town ship in a meetink held there at the same time. From all accounts it was the Most glorious rally of the people of Lebanon county ever held in this borough. The Democracy are, as was truly expressed by a leading Republican, "or EARNEST : " They are determined, and when the sun of the second Tuesday of October next dawns upon the hills, and valleys, and plitinsnf Pennsll - the greatest mare battle ate world ever saw, will be fought, and that by a people who know their rights and WILL maintain them. A friend has prepared for us an.account of the proceedings, which appears in another column. The presentation addresses of Messrs. Weidle and Weidman are highly lauded for their sentiments and the excellent delivery of them. The speeches of Messrs. Miller, An cona and Rosenthal were eloquent, fearless, and beyond contradiction. We feel satisfied that we express the sentiments of the Democracy of this county, vvithout a single dissenting voice, when we thank the speakers for the assistance and encouragement they so kindly rendered us. To say that a "big crowd" was in attendance on Sat urday would be doing injustice to the occasion. It was an immense concourse of people, and as such will always be remembered and re ferred to by the people of Lebanon county. With the exception of trifling attempts at interference and disturbance by smile of the unthinking of the opposition, and the turning off of some of the lights by an agent of the powers that be, long before the proceed ings were closed, everything pass ed oft pleasantly and harmonious ly. The Democratic ladies of Leba non will ever be remembered for the assistance they rendered in get ting up the celebration, and for the handsome flag they presented to the Club. The presentation cere monies took place in the Hall, which holds about 500 persons.— Although < filled to excess, not a tythe of the people could gain ac cess, so that it was necessary to adjottral to the Market' Square, wher - ithe proceedings were con iinued and concluded. The offi cers and Executive Committee of the Club, as well as the other corn• mittees, deserve, and will no doubt receive, the public thanks of the Club for the faithful and unweary ing manner in 'which they attend ed to their arduous duties in tnak• ing the Inauguration so complete A success. The Perseverance Band furnish ed some of their choice music on the occasion. The Hall is directly over the ADVERTISER office, and always open for visitors,.

We are pleased to see our friend Potteiger re-nominated on the above ticket for the Legislature.— He is a faithful representative, and deserves this mark of confidence at the hands of the Democracy of Berke. *IL We are advised that one of the speakers at the Wholly-headed Convention, on Monday, said, "what would we have done if Cur tin `had not been Governor of Penn sylvania when the rebels came ?" The proper question to have asked would have been "what would Curtin have done if Seymour had not been Governor of New York ?" THE SOLDIERS' RIGHTS TO VOTE.

LARGEST MEETING EVER HELD IN LEBANON GREAT ENTHUSIASM. Speeches by Gm W. H. Miller, Hon. S. E. Ancona. and Win, Rosenthal, Esq. . • In accordance with the announce ment that the inauguration of the Head Quarters of the Democratic Cen • trap Club of Lebanon would take place on Saturday, Septem her 5, 1883, an immense audience was congregated to witness the interesting ceremony. A handsoClTO flag was presented' by the ladies. The presentation speech was made by Jacob Weidle, Jr. His address was *ell received, judging from the enthusiasm with which the people responded. 'He spoke of the infractions of the Constitution by the present imbecile Administration, and orge4l upon the Deraocratidparty the necessity of iminediute organization in defeating those whose aim is to take from the people their liberties. He denounced the act •of' the Black Repablican President in banishing to the Label South the Hon. Clement L. Vailandighttin. When the speaker mentioned the name of McClellan 'the hall resounded with thunders of ap plause. He also paid a glowing *tri bute to the patriotism and bravery of the -93 d Regiment, which was respond ed to wit4i cheers. Mr. Weidle was followed by a epeech, on the part of the Democratic Club, from Major Gqint Weidman, whose remarks elicited a warm response from the approving audience. He said the existence of the Democratic parry was essential to the preserva tion of this glorious Government, att the party in power had no respect for the laws of their country. While Ma jor Weidman was speaking a delega tion of about twenty carriages from Shaefferstown arrived. . After the conclusion of Mr. Weid• man's speech the flag raising trans. pired, and while this was being done the Star-Spangled Banner was sung. The crowd then proceeded to the rail road to escort Hon. S. E. Aneona,mem ber of Congress from Old Berks, and Mr. Rosenthal, editor of the Reading Adler, who were expected in the even. ing train, through the town. As was anticipated both gentlemen arrived,' after which the procession repaired to the Market House, where Gen. Wm. H. Miller, member of Congress from the Dauphin District, addressed them, in an able and argumentative manner, proving to .the listening thousands that the present Administration is incompetent to administer this Gov ernment. He spoke of the fallacious idea of saving the Union by violating the Constitution, and declared' it im possible, as the Union could never have existed but for the Constitution. He reviewed the acts of the Admin istration, and proved to the satisfac tion of all present that the present deplorable war might have been -averted had the Black Republicans cot desired to: have a "littte blood letting." tre also spoke of theinter ference of the Administration in the 'plans of McClellan and their refusal to send him Gen. MeDo well's force of 40,000 troops, thereby prolonging the war, and entailing upon this country another failure instead of a suceess.• The ingratitude of the President to wards McClellan was also exhibited by the' speaker in a masterly style.— When the army of Gen. Pope was de ; feated at Bull Run, through the in competency of the commanding Gen eral, an apprehension for the safety 'of Washington had gotten hold of the President, and to save his head be ap pointed Gen. McClellan commander of the whole army, knowing that be alone possessed the ability to drive back the invading foe. .Fully up to the emergency 3icClelian did save the National Capital, and drove the :Reb• els again to Virginia.' For this act , of kindness he was removed from• the command of the army, and men ap pointed his successors -, ,who demon strated to the world their incapacity for the position, He administered ,a ' scathing rebuke to those eminently I loyal (?) men who denounce Demo. Icrate as Copperheads and traitors,and proved from extracts of the speeches of Horace Greeley, Ben Wade, and ; "Father Abraham" himself, that, they bad conceded the right of secession. I As far back as 1848, fifteen years ago, IMr. Lincoln was an avowed defender of the doctrine of secession, as adopt led by' the traitors of the South. 'Af , ' ter the conclusion of the address ithree cheers were given for the speaker. Mr. Miller was followed by Mr. Ro senthal, in the German language. He I spoke of the corruptions that have characterized the State Administra tion, and pointed with proud satisfac tion, to the unsullied character, of Judge Wood Ward. He refuted the charges made by the opposition press against Judge Woodward, and was particularly severe on the Lebanon Demokrat, for its disregard of truth. He spoke in denunciation of the pol icy of Gov. Curtin during the late rebel invasion, and said'that a' differ ent policy would be inaugurated when Judge Woodward is Governor of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.— Mr. Rosenthal expressed his aston ishment at.seeingso large an audience in a RePublican county, and-said that it would affoeld him much satisfaction to communicate to the people of "Old Berke the interest that is felt in the approaching election in this county. Three cheers were . also given for the speaker. The meeting was then addressed by Hon. S. E. Ancona. His address was well suited to the occasion, and was in conformity with his acts while in Congress. He spoke of the coming election, and the important issues which are at stake. He advised sub mission to all laws, however odious and oppressive, but counseled resist. ance, should an attempt be made to prevent the free expression of popu lar opinion at the hallot.box this fall. Mr.' Ancona, pledged Berks as good for at least , SEVEN THOUSAND fori Judge Wooo,vaidi and hoped that Labanta eouirty'Wonl4 bring.the here I tofore large,majoritieti for the. Abeli.. tion - ticket to naught. The eleetion 4:4 Woodward he regarded as a fore- Tgone conclusion, butthe question with him is to how large:his majority shall he. He thought Pennsylvania good for front 40,000 to goo for the Dem- I ocratio State tichet. The meeting then adjourned with three cheers for "Woodward, Lowrie, and the Delnocracy,7 and, three more toe the "Constitution, the Union and the Old Flag."

Shelly, at ElllY's Corner, on Friday evening last. . * M- though scarcely twenty-four hours notice had been given, the people turn ed out to fill the house. The best of feeling prevailed, and a spirit of de termination to oust from office the miserable corruptionists now in pow. er was the pervading feeling of ev. ery one present. The Meeting was organized by calling to the chair Mr. JoaN H. KEATFI, and appointed Mr. Evan Callihan, Secretary..

This - Federal, tyrannical usurpation, aroused at,ence the - Denieeratic-_ - spirrOf `4, little Spartan 'bunts -- Of 'noble part - iota - headed by, Jolitareesand John Miller, who ,heid a Dernti . ciatie meetin r' leat Milles i .Mol, in Elas township, some five•or seven miles northeast from Reading, and passed rest,- Intions disapproving of the Federal Ad ministration and the arbitrary arrest of Snyder and the suppression ofhis paper, and asserting their inherent constitutional fight to the freedom of speech and of the I press. Government soldiers were at once! forwarded from Philadelphia, where the seat of the Federal Government was at that time-4o arrest this noble and patri otic band of Democratic freeman. Miller made A'wever, his' ,escape by hiding under . in a barn, and I often heard 0 him re and say, to use his own words, that - e felt the cold steel of the Federal . sword on his very body, run into the hay under which he laid, by the Federal hloodliounds," - as he called them—who knew that he was 'somewhere in the barn, but could not find him. But Frees and eight of his compatriots were arrested. ' dragged or forced to Easton, and there locked up in a dark cellar, knee deep in water and mud, for fortyeight hours," and then, under a strong guard of Federal sold:ers drove like cattle to the slaughter to Philadelphia ar.d imprisoned, where . they soon received a Mock-trial. Frees was Condemed to lie hung, and the others sentenced to the Penitentiary, some for eight to nine and the others from one to five years., But the Federal usurpers in power did not dare to hang Frees. The true Democracy arose in Pennsylvania and the whole Union in their might and sovereignty at that fall election and hurl ed the Federal tyrants and usurpers from power. Thomas M'Kean was elected Governor of Pennsylvania, and - Themes JefferSon President of the United States, with overwhelming majorities, .and the Federal Administration did not dare to execute their sentence upon Frees and his-compatriots. And the very first offi cial act . that President lefferson per torined, after his inauguration, was to pardon Frees and his fellow victims of Federal persecution and tyranny, and when they were released from their long confinement, the people met in a large mass meeting before the jail, and con- Istructed a high platform, on which they Learried Frees, high.-above their heads, through-thestAets of Philadelphia, amid the shouts and huzzas of thousands 'Of I Democratic freetnen. Thus ended- the Federal tyranny and I misrule in '1799 and 1800. The Alien 1 and Sedition laws were repealed ; the I freedom of the press and speech, and the I rights and . . liberties of. the . people,- and "good will among men," Were once more I restored and preserved by Democratic 1 men and measures in the administration lof the. Government for sixty years, until i the present Abolition Administration came into power ; and now we have, in 1863, a Reign of Terror, ten thousand times more tyrannical, despotic and de grading to freemen than the Reign ofTer iur in- '99. It is enough to make the patri otic blood boil with indignation in every honest Democratic heart, to see at this dpy the base, malicious persecution and tyranny of some of the very imps of these, old “Federal bloodhounds." now in power in arresting, abusing and denouncingthe very sons of those Democratic fathers who are unwilling, - as were their patriotic i sires, to bow their knees and necks to •the . present Abolition tyranny.

They are perfectly cognizant of the fact that had the present Na tional Adininistration the love of cotintry at heart they could have ter minated this war long ago, and' the citizens of this State will show to the. minions at Washington that violations of the Constitution will not be tolera led, either in × of war, or when the nation is at peace. They have seen the partizan and malignant spir it which pervaded the mind of Abra ham Lincoln in the arrest of Demo cratic citizens, who are better patri bite than he, and permitting such men as Wendell Phillips to declare that there labors have been confined for years,to the destruction of the Amer ican ljnion,,And ; ',,they intend to-ex press their,..disappinbation : .6fithese' acts of the President, throuv b h the powerful but peaceful agency of the ballot-box. Of the subversion of the original purpose of the war by 'the Administration the people are fully acquainted. The removal of. Gen. McClellan, which was followed by disasters of the most heart-rending character, and at last terminated in the invasion of our State, when the honest yeomanry were plundered and robbed of millions of dollars, bas not been forgotten by` those who have On power to displace their 'rulers. It, is not strange that when this array of facts is placed before the minds of the people, they have a desire to be rid of such imbeciles. Judge Woodward will beelect,sd 'an i majority . , The - record of Gov. Curtin's unfaithfulness, and the unspotted character of his opponent, will not be oVerlookedrby „ those who are the'eleating power.

The people have also read the extracts from the Pittsburg Ga zette, a paper disserninaling.Abolition doctrines, in which the character of Andrew G Curtin is so truthfully por trayed, and they are resolved to elect a man W iIORG integrity has been tried and not found wanting, and that man is Judge Woodward. - The corruptions of the Curtin Administration Wave not been !nrgotten by the honest people of this State, and hence their desire to have him defeated. .Nest in importance to the election of Gov ernor is the selection of a Democratic majority in both branches of the Leg islature to investigate the charges of corruption which have been repeat. edly made against the State Admin istration, and to bring to justice those who are found guilty. If the Aboli tionists are permitted to obtain a ma• jority in either House they will not permit such investigation, and of this the people are fully aware. Let the Democrats not cease in their vigilance to drive from power those who have aided in the destruction Of this Gov ernment, and the 14th of Oetuber will dawn upon us with victory inscribed an our banners. A DEMOCRAT. A LINE FROM A SOLDIER. NEAR W RITE . OAR. CHURCH, Feb. - 15, 1863.- J T A little over a year ago we were filled with patriotism, and joined the army: It was then we could see what honor, what . glory, it was to take up aims in defense of the Constittition, of the Stars and stripes, and - to crush rebellion, We thought' of what our honored ancesters had done, of the many. fields of glory with which their names are enrolled, and of the many hardships they bad undergone, to gain the freedom of this country,—and then shall we allow this glorious legacy to be divided, to be trampled upon, by an armed band of traitors; have the chil dren of our forefathers already lost that noble , blOod which has been our pride ?. it was through such thoughts ;.0 these that we "enlisted in the ar TY•" When we joined, encouraging prom ises were made—a bounty of one hun dred dollars when the war is over, a fine farm also, pay every two months, plenty of good clothing, &e., and on marching knapsacks even were to be hauled; the "War Resolution" was to be all we were to fight for, and our government was only to be guided by the Constitution in quelling the rebellion. Well, indeed; would .it have been for our country bad "Honest Abe" stood fast to his good promises! We went upon the Peninsula early in March, 1862, had a good share of the road making, the ditch-digging, and the picketing to do along the Warwick--to say nothing of a severe skirmish—and followed after the reb els when they got afraid of "Little Mac," and skedaddled from their strong fortifications at Yorktown— had ahand in the battle' at Williams burg, ai Fair Oaks, in the seven days' fight, and since off of the Peninsula in other battles, which it is not in place here to 'talk of. We are here now ready 'and willing to fight for the same principles we enlisted for, bat for those which the government sees fit to make its own we are opposed to handling. the musket. We have seen too much of the nigger—we believe the negro isbetter off in slavery than he-is with his freedom—having seen him in both positions--we are of the firm opinion that the rebellion never will he crushed if the President's emancipation proclamation is to be th e battle cry. Let .the government give to us our much loved Gen. Mc- Clellan--letit take the Constitution for its direction in all affairs of admin• istration—let al.:lke more care of the white soldier than it does for the col ored slave—that its army le less im posed upon by the Speculators in 6hors, in clothicg of every kind, and allow the men as MUC4 it year as they need without taking it off their wages —taking all in all, let it act as an hon est, faithful, and go,od government would act, and the army will take new hope, the enemy will be beaten, and the rebellion crushed. - Insteadof this, bowever, "Honest Abe" appears to think the white.sol dier only - his Slave. The favorite offi cers are removed—perhaps - because their principles. are not as black as those of the Administration ; and - it may be, too, that they arOnot aristo- cratic enough to suit the tastes of Abraham, and may have made them selves so low as to speak to - 'common soldiers.

THE $3OO COMMUTATION.—Opinions differ very widely. concerning the ef fect of the payment of the $3OO com mutation by a..dratted nun. The fol lowing letter from lion. Thad. Ste vens, who had a large share in fram ing the bill, and who was Chairman Of the Ways and Means Committee at the time of its passage, seta forth the law of the case in a light, so.clear that we cannot see why thee° iiimaitti be any difference of opinion upoulthd: subject. The conclusion which, he ar-- rives at, says the Lancaster Expresc. is not only law, but common sear-- and laws ought certainly to lie con— strued in accordance with common. sense The letter,is'addressed to Ed- ward Reilly, Esq., and is as follows': LANCASTER, August 27, 1863 Dear Sir: mln answer to 'your inquiry, my op inter' is t-titet the - menet 4 the .ptio com mutation t fend the' furnishing of - a substitute have precise ly the slime 'effee "IS Wier of Went frees the drafted man from further 'tirplt for three years. :Ka is in effect service„etrber by It l'inseif or another. The payment of $3OO makes the goVernment his agent to procure a substh tute. The government has consented to act as such agent. The law says he may "on or before the day fixed for h is appearance furnish an ac ceptable substitute-.-or pay such cam sot exceed ing $3OO for the proeuration of such, substitute, and thereupon - the persob furnishing lha att'heii tute, paying the atoilry, shall be dischettged' from further liability under that draft."
