a character for integrity, which even malice has never dared to question, and that what he undertakes to do, he does with all his might. I do not say that all of his opponents or those who counsel his removal from the Mar Department, arc either knaves or secession ists ; but I do say, that the Northern sympa thisers with this wicked rebellion, with great unanimity assert that Mr. Stanton ought not to be the Secretary of War, and strange as it may seeui the very patriotic gentlemen who have no objections to contracts which yield very large profits, have also discovered that the manner in which he conducts his depart ment is highly prejudicial to the public in terests. Add to this the restiveness of the press at the restrictions placed upon the transmission of military news, and a certain bluntness of manner which is the occasion of offence being sometimes taken where none is intended to bo given, and you have the solu- , tion of his al'cgod unpopularity, and the ; reasons why he has thus been singled out for swift destruction. To praise Gon. McClellan, whilst denoun- i cing Secretary Stanton, is a part of the plan j of the rebellion sympathisers ; hoping there ; by to create divisions and dissensions | amongst the friends of the Union and the supporters of the Government. I doubt that man's judgment who denies to J Gen. McClellan great millitary skill, coupled : with the most ardent and enthusiastic de- j votion to that ling under which he marshalls hie hosts for battle, as I question the sincer ity and patriotism of him, who whilst exal ting Gen. McClellan, vilifies and abuses tho President and his constitutional advisers. The true friend of our glorious cause, sup ports in their respective jurisdictions both Stanton and McCellau, for they are alike en gaged with all their great powers in sustain ing and upholding the best g( vernment that ever floated on the tide of time, and in crushing the most damnable rebellion that ever men or devils were engaged in, 6ince tho arch fiend himself made his impious attempt to dethrone the Creator of the universe. [Applause] Let us iny friends beware of the devices of these hollow hearted, pretended friends, and let the true men of the nation, whether in the tented field, or the council chamber, be up held and sustained, and let our denuncia tions be reserved for those who are endeavor ing to destroy the government, and disunite the States. Our fathers constructed this gov ernmen.' by long suffering, and under great and terrible privations. They cemented the Union of these States with their life's blood, and thus raised and reared the magnificent edifice, so that it should .remain a monument to their wisdom and patriotism forever and forever. Shall their sons permit the destruc tion of this fair temple, and pass to their children, not the glorious inheritance which they received from their fathers, but a divided, mutilated and dissevered estate, without "form or comeliness," to be regarded only by the nations of the earth, as a fit subject for scorn and reproach. Shall the language of England's great poet ever be applicable to this " America of ours ?" " Land cf the unforgotten brave, " Whoso clime, from plain to mountain cave, " Was Freedom's home or glory's grave. " Shrine of the Mighty, can it be "That this is all remains of thee?" No, no, Heaven forbid : rather let us look forward to that day, when peace shall again be restored to our common country; when no government, or pretended government, shall be recognized by any part of the American people, except that government which was presided over by Washington in its infancy, strengthened and perfected by Adams and Jefferson, Malison and Monroe, in its youth, protected by the iron will and unflinching courage of Andrew Jackson in its early age, and now preserved from the attacks of a traitorous brood by the strong arms and wil ling hearts of more than five hundred thou sand true American soldiers. To this end, let us maintain our country's cause, with our treasure, and if needs be, with our blood. Let us refuse all intercourse 1 politically and personally, with such as are | now false to the old flag, and let us swear by ' our manhood, and our hopes of heaven, never i to yield to this rehelliou, even though, in res- | istiDg it, our hearthstooes should become a desolation and cur homes a dream. [Ap plause.] COMMITTEE ON CREDENTIALS. Mr. Aincy, from the Committee on Cre dentials, to whom was referred the nature of the contested scats from Philadelphia, submitted a report. Mr. Lowry moved that each party have fifteen minutes to discuss the report of the committee. Several of the gentlemen discussed the report of the committee, when finally a motion was made that both sets of delegates be admitted, which was agreed to, where upon, both sets from Philadelphia were ad mitted. THE RESOLUTIONS : Mr. McMichael, from the Committee on Resolutions, reported the following : Itesolved, That the convention representing as it does the loyal citizens of Pennsylvania without distinction of party, re-affirms the sentiments embodied in tho resolution adop ted at a meeting of the loyal members of Con gress at the national capital, July 12th, 1802 viz: 4 1 hat we hold it to be the duty of all loyal men to stand by the I nion in this hour of its trial, to unite their hearts and hands in earn est, patriotic efforts forits maintenance against those who are in arms against it; to sustain with determined resolution our patriotic Pres ident and his administration in their energet ic efforts for the prosecution of the war and the preservation of the Union against enemies ar home and abroad ; to punish traitors and treason with fitting severity, and to crush the present wicked and causeless rebellion, so that no flag cf disunion shall ever again be raised over any portion of the Republic; that to this end we invue the co operation of all men who 5 ve their country, in the endeavor to rekindle turougnout ail the States such a patriotic fire as shall utterly consume all who strike at the Union of our fathers, and all who sympathize with their treason or palliate their guilt.' Resolved. That we have continued confi dene- m tho honesty, capacity and patriotism ol 1 resident Lincoln and bis constitutional advisers; that we approve the principles on which his poiiey, both foreign and domestic, lias oecn conducted; that we sanction and sustain al. the measures which he has found it necessary to adopt to guard the government against the assaults cf traitors, their sympa thizers and abottors; and we esteem it emi nently fortunate that in this most trving cri 'l3 of our cherished Union, we have .ft the helm of public affairs one so upright, temper ate, prudent and firm as he has proved him self to be. Resolved, That we cordially approve of the administration of Andrew G. Curtin, Gover nor of this Commonwealth, marked as it nas been, by extraordinary vigor in the discharge of all public duties, by untiring zea. in the cause of the country, and especially in re cruiting forces for the national army, y enlarged and liberal care for the sick and wounded soldiers of tho State, by a wise and prudent economy in the expenditures of the funds committed to his care, and l>y the un sparing devotedness of all its members, and in particular of the Governor himself, to the constant, harrassing, complicated and novel labors which the exigencies of the great re bellion have imposed. Resolved, That we acknowledge but two divisions of the people of the United Stales in this crisis: those who are loyal to its Con stitution and every inch of its soil, and are ready to mako every sacrifice for the integrity of the Union, and the maintenance within it, and those who openly or covertly endeavor to sever our country, or to yield to the insolent demands of its enemies ; that we fraternize with the former, anl detest the latter; and that, forgetting all former party names and distinctions, we call upon all patriotic citizens to rally for one undivided country, one flag, one destiny. Resolved, That the Government of the United States nnd its people, with an occasion al exception among the reckless inhabitants where this rebellion was fostered, have wisely and studiously avoided all interference with the concerns of other nations, asking, and usually enjoying, alike, non-interference with their own, and that such is, and should con tinue to be, its policy; that the intimations of a contemplated departure from this sound rule of conduct on the part of some of the nations of Europe, by an intervention in our present struggle, is as unjust to them as it would be to us and to the great principles for which we are contending; but we assure them, with a solemnity of conviction which admits of no distrust or fear, and from a knowledge of and a firm reliance upon the spirit and fortitude of twenty millions of freemen, that any at tempt thus to intervene will meet a resistance unparalleled in force, unconquerable in its persistence, and fatal to those whom it is in tended to aid ; and that it will tend only to strengthen ami elevate the Republic. Resolved, That the skill, bravery and endu rance exhibited by our army and r. ivy have elicited our admiration and gratitude ; that we behold in these qualities the assurances of sure and speedy success to our arms, and of rout and discomfiture cf the rebels ; that we urge the Government to aid and strengthen them by all tho means in its power, and care fully to provide for sick, wounded and disa bled soldiers and their families: to prosecute the war with increased vigor and energy, un til the rebellion is utterly crushed, the integ rity of the Union in all its borders restored, and every rebel reduced to submission, or driven from the land; and that to accomplish these ends we pledge to our rulers our faith, our fortunes and our lives. Resolved, That the course of the Hon. Dav id Wilmot, in the United States Senate, is manly, consistent and eminently patriotic, and we hereby endorse him as a true and faithful representative of the loyal people of this State. The resolutions were read amidst great cheering, and beiDg before the Convention "or adoption, loud cries were made for Col. John \Y. Forney, who in response to the call rose and proceeded to address the Con vention in a speech of thrilling eloquence. When he had concluded, the resolutions were unanimously adopted. On motion of Mr. McClure the Conven tion proceeded to make the nominations. NOMINATION FOR AUDITOR GENERAL, On motion of Mr. Woods of Mifflin, Hon. Thos. E. Cochran was unanimously nominated as the candidate for Auditor General. NOMINATION FOR SURVEYOR GENERAL. The Convention then proceeded to select a candidate for Surveyor General, when the following gentlemen were placed in nomi nation : W m. R. Ross, of Luzerne county. P. Shannon, of Allegheny county. Jonathan E. Meredith, : Allegheny co. Pending the balloting, the names of Messrs. Shannon and Meredith were with drawn, when, on motion, the nomination of Mr. Ross was made unanimous. Mr. Amey moved that the delegates pro ceed to name one gentleman from each Sen atorial District to constitute the State Cen tral Committee—the President of the Con vention to appoint the chairman of the committee. A motion was made and agreed to, that each member of the Convention be taxed the sum of fifty cents to defray the neces sary expenses. Mr. Davis offered the following, which was unanimously agreed to: ltesolrnd, That the thanks of this Conven tion are due to the Hon. John C. Kncx, for the able and impartial manner which he has presided over this Convention, In pursuance of the resolution, the mem bers of the Convention then proceeded to name gentlemen from their respective Sen atorial districts to form the State Central j Committee, but as a number were not pre pared to submit such names, it wa3 direct ed that they should be handed to the Pres ident after the adjournment of the Con vention. On motion, the Convention then adjourn ed tone die. t 11 bile the patent non-coercion papers | are weekly lying with statements that the north is overrun with contrabands, democrat ic farmers who have to cut their own crops are heartily wishing for some of these runa ; ways to help tbeiu.

The Legislature of Pennsylvania, at the last session, passed a joint resolution to furnish clothing to wounded Pennsylvania volunteers. In visiting hospitals for this purpose, it was found difficult to single out Pennsylvania volunteers, and leave the soldier from Maine or lowa, in the adjoin ing cot, unsupplied. To meet this diffi culty, Surgeon General Smith,of Pennsyl vania, visited Washington, and endeavored to get an order to supply all soldiers whose clothing had been destroyed in battle.— There being no act of Congress authoriz ing it, the necessary order could not be is sued, and the matter rested, leaving Penn sylvania the ouly State which had by law provided for her wounded soldiers. Hon. James T. Hale, the member of Congress from the Centre district, interested him self warmly in behalf of the wounded sol diers; and, though the adjournment of Congress was near at hand, he brought the matter before the House, and succeeded in having a joint resolution passed authoriz ing clothing to be issued to all soldiers whose clothing was injured in battle, or destroyed through the casualties of war. Thus, through the efforts of Judge Hale, an evil, which army officers have long sought to correct, had been leniedied; and it only remains for the War Department to issue the proper orders, to have our brave soldiers who have lost their clothing in battle, or from wounds, freely supplied by the United States. We trust there will be no delay in issuing the proper order to aii quartermasters having ehaige of clothing, to carry out the object of the joint resolu tion so honorable to Congress, and so just to our brave soldiers. The Hairisburg Patent Democratic Con veution, Thos. Jefferson and the 'lda gurs " Among the resolutions adopted by the patent democracy at Harrisburg on the 4th of July was one that the negro was of an in ferior race. Perhaps this may be so as a general thing, yet we think we can show very satisfactorily that the colored man is not inferior to the material which composed that convention. Some people in their reading may possibly have come across the name ofßanneker, connected with an Alma nac which for a number of yours was the only one used in Pennsylvania, Maryland, Delaware and Virginia. Strange as it may sound, this Banneker was a self-educated negro, of pure African descent, who with out instruction or instiuments actually got up that almanac, and attcrwards, when fur nished with books, corrected some errors in an eminent mathematician's table of lo garithms ! As wc think it will be admit ted that the combined talent in that con vention, including Geo. Bates, Esq., rep resentative delegate from Mifflin, could not construct an almanac if the whole gang were to be hung for it, most people will be apt to doubt their ability to judge races of human beings. Besides, Thomas Jefferson, when Secretary of State under Gen. Wash ington, disagreed with such a conclusion, as the following letter to Banneker will show: PHILADELPHIA, August 30th, 1791. SIR: I thank you sincerely for your letter cf the 19th inst., and for the almanac it con tained. Nobody wishes more than Ido to see such proof as you exhibit, that nature has given to our black brethren talents equal to those of the other colors of men, and that the appearance of the want of them is owing only to the degraded condition of their existence, both in Africa and America. I can add with truth, that no one wishes more ardently to see a good system commenced for raising the condition both of their body and mind, to what it ought to be, as fast as the imbecility of their present existence and other circum stances which cannot be neglected, will ad mit. I have taken the liberty of sending your al manac to Monsieur de Condorcit, Secretary of the Academy of Sciences at Paris and member of the Philanthropic Society, because I consider it a document to which your whole color had u right for their justification against the doubts which have been entertained of them. I am with great esteem Sir, your most obedient servant. TUO. JEFFERSON. Political Facts. In the war of the revolution there were non-resistants to British authority, who deemed peace preferable to liberty. In the present war, a certain class of men ad vocate concession to rebels, oppose confis cation of rebel property, and are willing to make peace with traitors by recognizing the Southern Confederacy and thus des troying the Nationality of this Govern ment. If you want to know who these men are, read such papers as the New York Argus, Ilarrisburg Union and Patriot, Lewistown Democrat, Selinsgrove Times, &c That party in the revolution be came a by word and reproach to all patriot ic men. In the war ot 1812 there was a peace party, who ran around crying out against taxes, accusing the government of corrup tion, and denouncing the President and his war measures. There is such, a purty new, as any one can learn by readiug the above papers. in the same war history records that blue lights were burnt to aid the British fleets on our coast. Any one who reads passing events can readily see that there are men in the north who are steadily hold ing up blue-lights to Jef Davis and his cutthroats. In the same war a convention assembled at Hartford, Connecticut, to consider the state of the country, and though nothing was done to oppose the government —not even as much as by the patent democratic convention at Ilarrisburg on the 4th of July—the names of all concerned were consigned to political damnation, and re garded 'for many years as worthy only of bitter execration. In the Mexican war, brought about in the first instance without the assent of Congress and without question for the sole purpose of extending the area of slavery, a certain party tried hard to make political capital because sundry whig members would not vote for a looofoco preamble with a falsehood on its face, and in part succeed ed. Up, too, within a few years, every po litical mountebank of that party held up Senator Corwin as an opponent of his country by distorting the language he had used relative to that war, and used the lalsehood against the wLig party, than which a purer or more patriotic never ex isted. We note these historical facts at the present time—not for the benefit of politi cal hacks who are rushing blindfold to an execration as deep as was ever bestowed on Hessians, tories, or blue-light federalists —but fur young men who are assuming the duties of citizens. No set of men, no party, standing upon the basis which the leaders of the Breckinridge democracy have placed themselves, has ever succeed ed, and never will succeed, in this country. Patriotism is a first duty, and love of coun try is inherent in every man's nature —aud when the storms of this war will have passed away and the enormity of the crime of rebellion realized in its true colors, ev ery man —aye, and the childreu of such a man too—who has sympathized with it, countenanced it, advocated concessions, abused the government, or opposed its measures, will be scrutinized in a manner political harpies little dream of. Pause, then, young man, before you take sides with them. The leaders care for nothing save office, and while holding one will in most cases defend anything short of open treason, and some do not even stop at that. For the present go for your country and its government, by giving a helping hand to those who aro heart aud soul engaged in supporting the noble and patriotio Pres ident who is risking life and health in preserving this nation from dissolution, and when that is accomplished, it will be time enough to embark in the dirty business of partisan warfare which men of very doubt ful loyally are now endeavoring to embroil Pennsylvania. Think not for a moment that even a separation of this country would bring peace. The moment a South ern Confederacy would feel itself able to cope with the north on sea by the construc tion of a navy, and by laying in adequate supplies of munitions of war, a pretext would soon be found, and Pennsylvania, in stead of Virginia, become a scene of des olation aud woe. The fate of this country must be determined now, and that too by the force of arms. Comparative Length. —At Berlin and London, the longest day has 16$ hours. At Stockholm 18$, and the shortest ss.

Several weeks ago we copied the follow ing editorial article from the above paper : From the Lewistown Democrat Feb. 28,1861. Attitude of the Southern Confederacy. Some of the Republican papers are endeav oring to rcinvigorate the drooping spirit of coercion by representing the speeches of JEFFERSON DAVIS, President of the new Southern Confederacy, as breathing defiance and inviting war. The Tribune says that Mr. DAVIS talks of war as a " welcome con tingency," and it urges more extensive pre paration in the Northern States than have yet been made. It seeks to convey the im pression that the Northern States are abso lutely in danger of an attack from the troops of the Southern Confederacy, with the evi dent intention of inducing military prepar ations by the North. Now nothing could be more faise and dangerous than these state moots. The inaugural address of Mr. DAVIS does not contain a single word which even hints at aggressive war. On the contrary, ho states clearly and explicitly the desire of the separated States for a peaceful recognition of their independence. If words like these can be tortured into menace of the North, we are at a loss to understand how. Mr. Davis says : "As a necessity, not a choice, we " have resorted to the remedy of separation, •' and henceforth our energies must bedirect "ed to the conduct of our own affairs, and " the perpetuity of the Confederacy which we " have formed. If a just perception of mu " tual iuterest shall permit us peaceably to " pursue our separate political career, my " most earnest desire will have been fulfilled. " But if this be denied us, and the integrity "of our territory and jurisdiction be assailed, " it will but remain for us, with firm resolve, " to appeal to arms, and invoke the blessing " of Providence on a just cause." The substance of this language is, that the separated States are in earnest, that they de sire peace, but if they are attacked they will defend themselves. They don't threaten to make war upon the Government, bet if the Government attempts to coerce them, then they will resist— and their separate Confed eraey would be a ridiculous faree if they did not. There can be no war without the North insists upon it. Alter two weeks consideration over the subject, it came out last week w'th the dcc lar-'tion that this recognition of the South ern Confederacy and defence of Jef Davis, was not written by either of the present editors, and they cannot imagine how (he article got into its columns' Now is not this a most extraordinary confession? The same man writing for it at this time, was wiiting then —the same owner—the same publisher—yet we are gravely toll that an article full of DISUNION and at least CONSTRUCTIVE TREASON appeared without his knowledge. How comes itthen that it was not recalled immediately after? The paltry pretext that Douglas and others occupied similar ground is not true in fact, for Douglas never advocated any such doc trine, and never recognized Jef Davis as President! He was for peace, hut not for disunion. How did sundry other articles not much better than the above.getiu the Democrat? fisST'The New York Evening Post has the following in reference to Gen. McClel lan's arnty : " The President found on his late visit to General McClellan that 70,000 of the troops taken to the peninsula are now mis sing or absent. It is impossible to believe that more than 40,000 are dead, wounded, or s'ek. Genera! McClellan expressed the opinion to the President that more than half of the 70,000 absent soldiers are now well. How they got away it is almost im possible to tell A fact, however, has just corue to my knowledge which will seem to elucidate the matter. A single member of Congress has succeeded in getting fur loughs a d discharges for three hundred soldiers during the present session of Con gress ! This is a fact, and it will show how the army has been depleted, or at least one way in which its numbers have been redu ced. The friends of soldiers—of regiments —have endeavor d to get off e*ery soldier who was sick of the service. Members of Congress desired to be popular in their districts, and answered every call upon them. Colonels of regiments and generals of brigades had the same desire of popu larity with their men, and one and all have aided in this depleting process till the sum total of absentees is enormous." The above agrees with Mr. Chandler's statement, and solves all wonder as to why our army did not succeed before Ilichmond. B@u.John W. Cross of East Salem, 3 d Sergeant in Co. 1., of the 53d regiment, Capt. Pimm, was wounded in one of the battles before Richmond and afterward toos the typhoid fever. He was placed on board the steamer Knickerbocker for the purpose of being conveyed to Fortress Monroe, but died on the passage. The correspondent of the Philadelphia Inquirer, who was piosent at his death, gives the fol lowing account: " Yesterday a very affecting incident oc curred. John W. Cross, from East Salem, Juniata county, a private in the Fifty-third Pennsylvania Regiment, was dying. Find ing his voice failing, he began to feel about among the bed clothing under his head for something which ha evidently wanted. In a moment he drew forth a small pack age, which, unwrapped, revealed a daguer reotype case. Unclasping jt he gazed with filmy eyes upon the faoes of his wife and two children. As death clutched closer about his vitals, he handed it to a gentleman connected with the Washing ton Pennsylvania Soldiers' Relief Associa tion, whispering, 'Will you not send it home ? Tell my wife it was the last object 1 gazed upon,' and he was dead." General Ilalleck is now at WashingtOß, probably as military adviser. Proclamation by Gov. Curtin, Tfenty-one Regiments for Nine Months. Recruits for the old Regiments for 1 Tar. IIARRISBCRG, J uly 21 . —The following proc lamation has just been issued: PENNSYLVANIA SS. In the name and Ly the authority of tho Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, ANDREW G. CURTIN, Governor of said Commonwealth: Proclamation. To sustain the Government in times of com mon peril by all his energies, his means, and his life if need be, is the first duty of every loyal citizeQ. The President of the United States has made a requisition on Pennsylva nia for twenty-one new regiments, and tho regiments already in the field must be recruit ed. Enlistments will be made for nine months in the new regiments and f.>r twelve monthsinthe old. The existence of the present emergency is well understood. No patriot will pause now to investigate its causes. We must look to the future. Everything that is dear to ue is at stake. Under these circumstances, I appeal with confidence to the freemen of Pennsylvania. You have to save your homes and your own firesides, your own liberties and those of the whole country. I call on the in habitants of the counties, cities, boroughs, and townships throughout our borders to meet and take active measures for the immediate furnishing of the quota of the State. Let those who cannot go themselves contribute to provide bounties equal at least to those offer ed by the adjoiuing States. The Constitution prohibits nie from drawing money from the treasury without authority of law, and I will not cast a doubt on the patriotism of our cit izens by assuming the necessity of calling tho Legislature at this time. This is no time to* wait for Legislative action and the negotiation* of loans. Delay might be fatal. To put dowu this rebellion is now the busi ness of every man in Pennsylvania, and her citizens will show on this occasion that they do not wait for the slow process of legislation, and do not desire to throw on the treasury of the Commonwealth a burden which they arc individually ready to bear themselves. The conduct of our men already in the field has shed immortal lustre on Pennsylvania. Let their brethren fly to arms to support them, and make the victory speedy as well as certain. I designate below the number of compa nies which are expected from the several counties in the State, trusting to the support of her honor in this crisis, as it may be safe ly trusted to the loyalty, fidelity, and valor of her freemen. Whilst the quota of the sev eral counties is fixed equitably so as to fill the requisition for twenty one regiments, let not the loyal people of any county limit their ex ertions to the enlistment of the companies named. Our heroic sons of Pennsylvania have moistened every battle-field with their blood. Thousands have bravely died, defen ding the unity of the Republic and the sanct ity of our flag, and other thousands have fal len sick and wounded, and their plaees must be filled. Freemen of Pennsylvania! Friends of the Government, of order, and of our common nationality, one earnest struggle and peace will again dawn upon us as a happy, pros perous, and united people. Given under my hand and the great seal of the State, at ilarrishurg, this twenty-first day of July, in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and sixty-two, and: of the Commonwealth the eighty seventh.
