The Democratic County Convention, the proceedings of which will be found in another column,waslargely attended, notwithstanding the busy season of the year. Some forty six districts were represented, and that, too, by some of the best men in the county. The.ut most harmony and good feeling prevailed throughout the.sitting of the Convention, and the resolutions, which embody the true senti ments of the Democrooy of the County, were adopted by acclamation—not a dissenting voice being whispered against either of them. The Union as it was t and the Constitution as itis t arp the watch-words of every Democrat in Lancaster county; in connection with a deter mined opposition to Secessionism f Abolitionism and every other ism which seeks in any way, either by open rebellion against the Govern ment, or by suicidal attacks upbn the Consti tution, to destroy the fair fabric of freedom enacted by Washington and his compatriots. The Convention did a noble work on Wed* nesday, and it will now be for the new County Committee, with the aid of the Township and Ward Committees, to set to work without delay in effecting a thorough organization of the party for the approaching campaign. We mußt meet the enemy at every assailable point, and do our duty faithfully as members of the only conservative party of the Union. At the same time, the party is pledged to aid the Government with all its energies, in every- Constitutional effort it may make to suppress the rebellion and restore the Federal authority over all the States of the Union. THE TWO PARTIES, The policy aDd object of the Democratic party —which does notßeek to conceal its identity by plausible names, and scorns to fight behind masked batteries—is to restore the Union as it teas, and maintain the Constitution as it is. And for this the Democracy are willing to fight the battles of the country, and support the National Administration in all thelegiti mate efforts it may put forth tb bring the war to a successful termination. i3ut they are not willing to make it a war for the emancipation of the negroes, as the Abolitionists desire.— There can be but two parties at the next election—the party that stands upon the broad platform of the Constitution, and the Abolition party. The one will comprise all Democrats and conservative men of other parties; the other will be composed of Aboli tionists and plunder patriots of every hue and stripe. The Democratic party will seek to restore the Union upon its ancient basis—the other party (we do not know precisely what to call it, as it has not yet been baptised,) will seek purposes as various as its component parts. Abolitionism , however, must necessa rily be its life and soul, while it will he the common refuge of the peculators and plunder ers of the Treasury, who will seek its protec tion as a covering for their transgressions. It will be for the people of Lancaster county and of Pennsylvania—the honest and conser vative men of all parties—to decide for them selves in the approaching campaign. The one having emblazoned on its ample folds, in char acters of living light, the Union and the Con stitution—the other displaying on its sombre surface Emancipation, Abolition, an intermi nable Civil War, and a broken, ruined and dis membered oountry. Choose ye between them, fellow-citizens. There is no longer any mid dle ground, any half way house. Every voter must range himself 6n one side or the other, in this great war for ,the restoration of the Union and the Constitution. a base: falsehood nailed: "In June, 1862, a gallant officer [Col. Mc- Carter] just returned to Lancaster from the army, where he had been disabled while bravely heading his regiment in repelling the treasonable assaults of armed rebellion upon our own neighbors and brothers, expresses himself surprised that such talk should be tolerated as falls from the lips of our Sander sons, Browns, and Sides, and such svmpathi zers with treason.*’— Express of Friday eve ■ ning. We have the authority of Col. McCar ter himself, who called to see us on yesterday morning, for saying that the language attrib uted to him was never used. That he never thought of such a thing. That he has too x high an opinion of our loyalty and integrity, ißni has too much regard for ourself and family \o utter such a sentiment; and as for the Other gentlemen named, he is not acquainted with them, and, therefore, knows nothing about their sentiments. PROMPT PAYMENT. Pennsylvania is first in giving her means as ?s in furnishing patriotic men to carry on the war. The State Treasurer has already paid , over to the Assistant Treasurer of-the Uciite&’States, the Bum of $350,000, as a final £ instalment ofthe War tax to be raised by Pennsylvania, under the act of Congress of August* 1861: /Maryland is the second State on the list. .too, has paid over her quota of the tax under the sama act of Congress. Which Stat 9 will bo the third ? Where is New York with ell her boasting propensities ? COMPLIMENTARY—VERY I ' . The Saturday Abolition organ of this city bids fair to get ahead of all its contemporaries in that faith, in downright abuse, falsehood and misrepresentation." It calls the recent Democratic Copnty Convention a “ Cabal of Semi-Traitors ” and falsifies and misrepre sents suoh gentlemen aaDr. Andrews, Dr. Bi»W, Messrs. McSparbaN, Kerns, et. al., in the grossest and most unblushing manner.— ThV-Erpm* and Examiner will have to “ . diligence," if they expect to . k®sP j?tP® 'with the Inquirer in infamy, - » >;r ' •" ’f- The question is often asked, gays an ex ohange, will it be possibly to rule the rebel lions Slates after their restoration to -tb% Union ? The answer is simple. layer ot society, be it social or political, is. joood to be gjfcchiiaoli - lSiiwfltoalfcas .fortius <wr||appi| S|m. This principle is considered |ij jnen to mean edftthnest. Let'feat the'Sonth ; bii restored to jhe Union; andooanneraeaiifii trade resume them uncustomed channels, ana it will quickly be fonnd that this rule of tdf —this principle of bread and butter, if yon please, is the great Arohimedian Berew in Political Economy whiotowiH again restore. our social intercourse. Tbe truth of this principle has been realized in every age of the world,' and experience proves that we are' guided in onr “ sober second thought” by wbat conduces to onr rational, comfort and happiness. To illustrate: We purchase wher ever we can pfdoure' at the 'cheapest rates, and sell wherever the best prices are offered ; and this law of self is fonnd to be the most benifiaent for onr guidance in the affairs of life. A family, or a number of persons, may endure suffering and : hunger in a mountain fastness in defence ’ of. country, or they may even suffer death for patriotism sake; but an entire State will never be fonnd willing to make this sacrifice. - Now, if the avenues of the Southern trade be onoe opened, we think tbe interests of-the rebels will bring them back to their allegianee, and that their political sentiments will change with the exigencies of tbe times. While we are wagiDg this war against the South, we are at the same time infusing principles of Political Economy which will teaoh Secession ism to snbdne itself. The belligerent resolu tions passed by some of the Southerners never to surrender, are but little better than paper ballets, as we find that their oities surrender in succession to onr forces, lay down their arms, and adopt a conciliatory tone. By this it is difficult to perceive that the Union sentiment is not extinct at the Sooth, and that it has still a vital emanation in tbe hearts of most of her people, who, onoe relieved of her menacing rebel army,’ their restoration will be qniokly achieved. We are bringing this mad rebellion to the oentre of a Democratic gravi tation, and onr oonntry will develop on its own traditions ofihuman liberty, regardless of the intrigues of Southern demagogues, or of the insane ravings of fanatical Abolitionists in onr midst. ligcnti PRESIDENT LINCOLN. Mr. Lincoln mußt have a sorry time of it in his endeavors to oonduot the war in a con stitutional manner, and at the same time retain the undivided support of his party in Congress. The Abolitionists in both branohes seem determined to have things their own way, and to force the President, against his better judgment, into all their orazy and unconstitu tional schemes in behalf of the negro. So far ha hae been able to resist them to some extent, by the aid of the Democratic minority in Congress, but how long that may last we do not know. We hope for the best, but, at the same time, have our misgivings that, sooner or later, he will tie made tu yield to the influences which surround him. We await further developments. WHAT CONSTITUTES TREASON I One of the Abolition organs in this city (there are Jive of them altogether,) charges that we have committed “ bold treason of the most damnable character” because we said some two or three weeks ego that John W. Forney, the Abolition Clerk of the U. S. Senate, had left the Democratic party l Nobody but the erudite expectant of tbe District Attorneyship for the next two years could have, by any possibility, uttered such a chaste and luminous sentiment. We givetbis' learned expounder of constitutional law—the full benefit of bis profound discovery—especi ally as he occupied Dear half a column of his paper on Saturday to ventilate hie grandilo quent idea 1 After all the abuse heaped upon Gov. Stan ley of North Carolina, on account of the clos ing of the schools for blacks, and all the excitement in certain quarters produced thereby, it is now said that he did not interfere with the matter at all. A corres poudent of the New York Tribune says, *• he only said that in case North Carolina returned to tbe Union with the anti-school law in full force, he would feel called upon to enforce it, and close the schools of the kind in qaestion.. Misapprehending Gov. Stanley's remarks, Mr. Coiyer closed the echools'himself. I un derstand that these substantially are the facts in the case." The same correspondent says Gen. Burnside approves of the action of Gov. Stanley which has been so severely denounced by a certain class of papers and prominent men at the North. MORE HOSPITALS WANTED The Philadelphia Inquirer, of Tuesday, says, a letter from General McClellan was received in that city on Saturday, by a gentleman high in authority. In it the Rebel loss at Fair Oaks was stated to be ten thousand. Through reliable sources of information General Me Clellan had learned that the wounded in Richmond now number seven thousand.— Almost every house has its quota. If Rich mond is captured, onr wounded will have to be conveyed, at once to the North, every available hospital and shelter in the neighbor hood of the spot upon which the terrible con flict will take place being already full. Acting npon such a suggestion, the Deputy Quarter master General of the United States Army, in that city, will at once seek for large build ings convenient to railroad or water transpor tation routes, in the vicinity of Philadelphia, either in New Jersey, Pennsylvania or Dela ware. Why not come to Lancaster ? WM. W. BROWN, EgQ, This gentleman, since his participation in the Democratic Convention of Wednesday last, oomes in for a full share of misrepresen tation and abuse from the Abolition organa of this oity. We rather guess, however, that he will survive it all—especially as it does not seem in the least to disturb his equanimity of temper. The whole Stevens kennel can bark at his heels until they are tired. His 6leep will not he disturbed by their yelping. A FALSEHOOD NAILED I We have the authority of several intelligent gentlemen of the Convention, that the remark attributed by the Reporter for the Express to Dr. Sides, during the delivery of Mr. Brown’s speech, in reference to President Lincoln, was never uttered by him, or anything bearing the least semblance to it. Rioht. —The President has directed the house of General Lee, on Arlington Heights, to be used as a Hospital for the sick and wounded soldiers of the Union army, and five hundred are dow quartered in it. This is right. General Lee is an officer in the rebel army, and is, therefore, not entitled to any exemption from Dnr government on account of his wealth or position. Secesh Prisoners.— Some 500 secesh pris oners from the Valley of Virginia are now at Camp Curtin near Harrisburg. They are said to be A ragged and dirty, half-starved looking set of fellows who are scarcely worth the fodder it takes to feed them. GOV.STANLEY . The New YoA.JSwiwal.of Cbmraereean swers this pertinent question in the following ,trul jeloqaent stjrle: 1 It||a canons hallncination that possessrA the minds of some radical men, who, when' (nettop is spilled ? is Itifbrtbjfve «ye figm ifegim isnok fbrph negro, for w fisHin or. Bf hid 'enslavtofri that we are fighting. Why can't you get it into your heads that thie war, practically and theoretically, has nothing to do with the negro f It is a war of white men, in a oonntry settled by white men, inhabited and Jnled hy3vMte rmen,. nnd the war infor the good of white men_and,white,men only. Yet these santo -pmtlemen seem to argue 'in' i manner, satisfactory to themselves, that when it is admitted, that we _are not fighting.to en slave negroes.’ the converse must be trne, that we are fighting to free.negroes 1 A cotempo rary gave ns the other day a Bad picture of a wounded soldier, perhaps'a dying man/ who had suffered in the war, and demanded if we thought all that man’s suffering was for naught, connecting therewith the notion that it was for. the negro’s, freedom that be had soffered and his comrades bad died. A thpus and probabilities to one that if the man were asked whether be had offered his life on the altar for the cause of tbe negro, he would repudiate the idea with scorn. Never eincethe world was made did a nation poor oat its treasure, its greatest treasure,the life of its yonth and manhood, aa this nation has been doing. Id every mountain fastness, on every .plain of the North,there is a cottage from which a son or a brother has gone to the battle field. In every city, village and hamlet, from the prairies to the ocean, old men sit sad eyed, and mothers look ont of the windows through blinding tears, for the retnrn of tbe brave who have answered their country’s call. Does tbe wind shake the trees with unaccus tomed violence, there are a million throbbing hearts that beat quicker, even in the hoars of sleep, lest tbesonnd betoken disaster from the field of blood. Poes the morning break pleas antly with the soft light of Jane, so pleasant in the old time, there is scarcely in all tbe land a home to welcome the sun with gladness, an eye to brighten with the cheer of tbe sum mer light. The land monrns. Old women go tottering to the grave for lack of the support of the stout arms that lie nervelesß by the Potomac or the Tennessee. Young eyes are darkened with long grief and young hearts are broken with the long waiting, and the terrible story that comes at last. This is wbat they have done and suffered who are at home. And is all this for the blaok man’s freedom ? or is it for the glory of the past, the Union of the Fathers, the land of Washington ? And they who have gone, the hundreds of thousands who have given themselves to the battle, what have they gone for ? They have endnred, have suffered, have fonght, have fallen, in the cause for which they have en listed. Their graves are all along the banks of our mighty rivers. For what have they died ? Follow one man of that army from his home through all that he has suffered; consider all that he has lost. He was young And strong, and he had hopes before, and affections around him. He broke tBB-bonds of home, bonds known no where on earth so strong as here. He gave himself to the nation. He slept in the winter nights under the snow or under the Btare—he lived in one year aa long, for exposure and suffering and pain,, as most men live in seventy. He fought in bat tle after battle. The worßt enemy that he met was the fierce camp fever that graßped him in hot conflict. In his delirium the cool breeze of the old home was on his forehead, and in his calmer hours he remembered the well at Kio fnthor'o door aud .longed for it, oo David never longed for the water of the well of Bethlehem. Who can paint the terrible, story of battle, of youth and fever in the damp and dismal tent of the soldier on the field ? But he oonquered the enemy, and another day he was on the battle field again, and in the midst of the smoke and slaughter, he remembered the blue eves of the woman that loved him more than life in the up-coun try, and even then, as tbe memory of those beloved eyes blessed him, death came in at hie breast, and tho form that she would have sheltered in her arms against every human woe, lay on the plain, aDd the wild flood of war swept hither and thither above the un conscious clay. No—not quite unconscious yet. For onoe his comrades, loving him for all that he had been of gentleness and yet of firmness, a hero in the field but a child in the camp, his comrades as they rushed by to the melee saw him open his eyes, raise his right arm, and though they saw it not perfectly, they knew that he smiled sb he waved his hands once—only once—before the darkness came. • Will any one tell us what that dying ges f ure was designed to signify ? Did it imply that in the moment of his passing, that moment into which life is sometimes compressed, when tbe soul gathers up all its memories to carry away with it into the other country, did it imply that be remembered all he had suffered, all he bad-struggled for, all he had lost, and died content, because it was all for the South ern black man and bis cause? How can men do such foul dishonor to the soldier of the Union ? Whatever be the future course of the war, and whether the radical views gain supremacy so that it dwindles from the proportions of a war for the nation into a war for the negro, or whether it remains as now a war for the American Union, let no man dare to desecrate one grave on all the fields where our dead lie side by side, with any monumental stone to tell the falsehood that they fought for the men of Africa, and the freedom’of the negro race. Bather, if the future be in store for us, which God forbid, that these men gain their way and make the war a negro' war, rather let the dead lie in unknown graves, and be counted where the Union they fought for will then be counted, among the glories of the past. THE END OF THE WAR. We are entirely confident, says the Patriot db Union, that with the fall of Richmond, and the capture or the rout and dispersion of the officers of the rebel government with its last remaining army, the work of the restoration of the Union will be substantially accom plished ; because we believe that with the last army of this rebellion, and its government, and its financial paper system, broken up the moral power of the rebellion over the minds and bodies and pockets of the people of the so-called “ Confederate States ” will be de etroyed. The only serious impediment to an immediate and overwhelming popular reaction throughout the South, with out occupation of Richmond, is the disorganizing, fanatical, radical, nigger-worshipping, disunion, aboli tion faction of the North. MR. LINCOLN STILL FIRM. President Lincoln was waited upon on Friday by a delegation of Abolitionists, who presented a memorial to him urging the im mediate adoption of an emancipation policy. After a speech by Oliver Johnson, of New York, the Chairman of the delegation, the President replied in a courteous manner, but gave the party no encouragement that he would follow the proffered advice. make room for the darkies t The Patriot & Union says, a day or two ago we noticed four or five negroes mowing grass in Capitol Park, when we were informed that white men were refused the job. This policy will not work in Pennsylvania, for oor people have not reached fanaticism to snch an extent as to believe that “ a darkey is as good as a white man,’if not a little better.” The Washington Sunday Chronicle informs the public that there are 1000 negroes at Doff Green’s Row, in that oity, to be hired out. Here goes fife labor of 1000 more white men. If the people do not at the next election pot down abolitionism they will deserve the ruin it is bringing upon them. ARRESTED AS TRAITORS. Hon. Pierre Soule, formerly U. S. Minis ter to Spain, and Sheriff Mazureau have been arrested in New Orleauß by General Bntler, on a charge of treason, and have been 1 sent North to Fort La Fayette for safe keeping. Hon. Hubert il.

Upon the re-assembling of the Convention in the after noon, Abram Shank, Esq., Chairman, reported tbe-following resolutions, which were unanimously adopted by the Con vention : Resolved, That the Democratic party of Lancaster county stands now, where It ever has stood, the friend and up holder of the Constitution and the Union, and it will con tinue to stand by them as the only hope for greatness and blessings in the fnture, as they afforded to the country glory and prosperity in the past. Resolved, That secessionUm bached by armed rebellion is treason, and the Democratic party will support and sus tain the administration in all its constitutional acts and - measures to put it down. That the names of the gallant sons of the country, now risking their lives for the defence of our institutions, will bo consecrated by history, and the war waged for the integrity of the Union must be prosecuted until the cohorts of treason are utterly crushed and defeated. Resolved, That all loyal men of the. country are invited to join with the Democracy in putting down abolitionism and secesslonlsm. No other political organization in the country can give assurance to the people of the whole Union, that the Constitution shall be maintained, as It is and the Union as it was. Resolved, That no higher evidence is wanted by the peo ple of the systematic efforts ofthe Abolitionists to destroy the Constitution and the Union, than the declarations made by the radical Republican leaders in Congress previous - to the Rebellion, “ let blood flow” and “ the Union slide,” and their present professed loyalty Is only assumed, the better to enable them to overturn the Constitution and the Union, which they asserted “fc a league with death and a. covenant with helL” Resolved, That we heartily approve the Crittenden reso lution passed by Congress at the extra session in July last, declaring the present war to be waged only for the' purpose of sustaining the Constitution and the Union; and that the efforts of the Abolitionists and Republicans, in and out of Congress, to change the end and purpose of the war into a crusade for the abolition of slavery, is a gross fraud upou those brave men who sprang to arms for the patriotic pur pose of defending the Constitution and onr institutions, as they have existed since the fonndation of the government, and not to subvert and overthrow them. Resolved, That the folly, fanaticism or crime (which ever it may be called) that seeks to turn the slaves of the Southern States loose to overrun the North, and to enter Joto competition with the white laboring meic&nd women, thos reducing the wages of iabor and degrading the white race by placing them by the ‘side of the negro in tbelr various occupations, meets with our unqualified condemns tion. Resolved, That the resolution of the late Republican County Convention, endorsing the votes and acts-of Thad deus Btevens In Congress, proves that that Convention was composed of aa thorough abolitionists «s any to be found in New England, or as Tbaddens Stevens himself! Resolved, That the patriotic soldiers who fiew to arms for the noble purpose of maiotaluiogthe Constitution and the Union in tbelr integrity, as tboy were transmitted to us.by onr fathers, have the entire sympathy and support of the Democratic party ; and that we have no language sufficient ly strong to express our reprobation of tho conduct of prominent Repnblicaßß and Abolitionists/who, to enrich themselves, were found degraded enough to commit the vilest frauds opon the defenders of the “Old Flag” by palming off upon them inferior articles,-provisions and clothing at the highest market rates for articles of soperior quality. • - ■ Resolved, That the plundering from the public vault? of over one hundred millions of dollars, in a sirgle year, by Republican office-holders, and at a time when the govern ment Is strugling to preserve its existence, evinces a degree of corruption in that party that cannot fail to meet 1 with the unqualified condemnation of every trne patriot.

And what to all this for? For the negro! [Laughter aodapplause] 'Forth© past year the white race, who have leveled the forests, built the cities, and embellished this lovely land with everything that can adorn civilised life.-andcreated and established the govern* ment of oor coantry. has received no attention la the Na tional legislature. We look in vain, at the proceedings in Congress to find anything in th&aets and speeches of the radical Republicans an ! Abolitionists for the benefit of the negro, alone, receives their at tention ; and no matter what or how moch they do for him, be will always remain what he is now—a negro3— [Applause.] We find that,' with the retreat of Banks, thous ands of runaway negroes have swarmed into Pennsylvania, and are now in the border counties offering their labor at -jSwt.eeate a day, coming into direet competition with the white men, reducing.his wages, and degrading him to a "level wlth-tbe negro himself I Is this state of things to go on 1 Not If .the potent voice of the Democratic party can aroaFe the men of Pennsylvania to look to their rights and duties as freemen- . Despite all abolition and emancipation schemes, the white men of Pennsylvania will not enffisr degrading competition with the negro 1 If even the schemes of the Abolitionists were successful—lf the ends of the fa natical portion of the Republican party eould be so;om plished, and every slave in theeountry be emancipated, no. reasoning mind can for a moment suppose that either the negro or/the white man would derive the least benefit from such a measure. Should we emancipate the negro" we, wonld confer no favor on him—we would withdraw his labor from the productive industry, of the fcountry, and leave him (ineapahle of governing lrtmaelf) to be of. no ser vice to himself or any one else. . The revulsion wonld be felt North as well as South. Northern laborers want a market for their manufactures. and they .expect for them a reasonable compensation: Take away the productive industry of the South, and.where Is that remuneration to he raised ? So the labor of the Northern mechanic and la borer will be Impaired and destroyed, Just in proportion as the productive indostry of the South is Impaired and destroyed. There are no practical benefits, In the mad schemes of the fanatical Abolitionists, that can enure to the benefit of either the white or the black race. The lovers of these Abolition schemes, to keep up an ex citement, persist In calling all whodiffer from them “Seces sionists,” because they will not admit the social and po litical equality of the negro with the white raee. Amid the universal corruption which no sane man can donbt exists in the National Administration, it requires no over auspicious mind to come to the'conclusion that the attempts making to'denounce.every one as disloyal who speaks his min'd boldly upon the frauds of government officials, are intended to divert public attention from the peculation and plnnder which finds Its way into the pock ets of those who pretend to intense loyalty. The Admin istration preceding this had been accused with charges of corruption; bnt since the present tion began committees, composed of Bepablieans them selves, bave told ns that there was more money fraudu lently taken from the treasury, during a single year, than the whole, current expenses of the Government for a single year of Mr. Buchanan's Administration. [Applause.] With abundant evidence of rank corruption on the part of Simon Cameron, we have the humiliating spectacle of the Chief Magistrate coming forward and Bhouldering all that Simon was guilty of. From the time of the election of Lincoln, who I believe to be an honest man, the frands on the government have presented an aspect such as was never before witnessed In any nation. When the offices were all filled, the applicants tnrned their attention to securing contracts; and these blood-sncking leeches immediately were engaged in supplying the army with every thing from beeves down to beans! [Laughter and applause.] All they wanted was a way to pat theiv hands into the treasury.— Horses, good for nothing in every respect, were procured, and the speculator had a man appointed inspector who wonld ride round a circle of one bnndred and fifty animals and “pass” them all. A committee of all Republicans’ found that over $400,000 bad been stolen by Pennsylvania politicians on a contract for horses. Added to this, the Secretary of the Navy pays divers sains of from $5 000 to $l5 000, for the purchase of vessels, to his brothers or brothers-in-law—and yet the Republicans talk of the “cor ruption’? Of the preceding Administration, and the honesty of the party now in power. I believe, as I said before, that Abraham Lincoln is honest. When he was forming his Cabinet, a noted poli tician—not a statesman—from Pennsylvania wanted to ha SaiM-otarj- of vrar: Some objected to the appointment because be was dishonest—others denied the charge. The old man. in bis tribulation, not knowing whom to believe, bethought himself of asking Thaddens Stevens, of this city : “Do you think Cameron would steal?” Mr. Btevens, with his peculiar, sarcastic curl of the upper lip, replied, ‘•No, I don’t think he’d etea!— a red-hot stove!™ [Laughter and applanse ] Tet Simon was appointed. ■ Democrats! I know not that I can say tnueb to you The State Convention will meet on the 4th of July, snd I have no doubt that they will make a platform upon which we can all stand, side by side, in the great work of redeem ing and regenerating Pennsylvania from the incubus thrown over her by the wicked and unholy schemes s *# the AbolitioDists. To my mind there is no light in the future —nothing to restore harmony to our whole country— nothing to maintain the Constitution as it is. and re es tablish the Union as it was—bnt the triumph of the great, fundamental principles of the Democratic party. [Great applause.] From the very commencement of the govern ment. the Democracy have known no North, no South, no East, no West, bnt one great, united country. If the principles, as told down by the immortal Jefferson, bad been adhered to, and the Constitution carried out accord ing to its letter and spirit. aDd if the admonitions of Jack son in bis farewell address had been remembered, this country would never hare been divided into sectional par ties—nor would one State or section now be arraved against another. Bnt the people for the last tw°nty or thirty years have imagined that tbev are wiser than their ancestors, and wpre not content with aform of constitutional govern ment which afforded the greatest happiness to the greatest number of citizens. The Abolitionists, however, believed that there douiq.be each a thing as an abso'nte and infi nite perfectibility of human institutions, and lost sight of the lad that the happiness and prosperity of the white race In this country might be lost by attempting to allevi ate imaginary hardships to which the black race was sub jected. The agitation of the Slavery question has been a most fruitful source of evil to both races. I dow venture to predict tbat, let tbe war end as it may, or r*tbar as under Providence it mast, not a particle of benefit will have accrued to the negro, but an immense injury to the cause of hnman freedom and popular government throughout the world, and espeefally in this country—where it will require half a century for n« to recover from tbe effects of the war, and when it is over the condition of the negro will he far worse than it was two years ago. And in all the calamity with which tho country is sffllcted, it Is doabtful’whether a single good to a single human being will be brought about by the condition in which the country has been placed by the fanatical spirit of Abolitionism- [Applause.] Mr. Brown's speech created the liveliest enthusiasm in tbe Convention, and he was heartily applauded at the close. The Convention then, on motion, adjourned tint dit. NORTHERN TREASON. An anti-slavery organization has been formed in the City of New York, at the head of which is the editor-in-ohief of the Evening Post, William Cullen Bryant, the poet, which announces as one of its fundamental principles the dogma that “no State now in the rebellion shall be again recognized as .a member of the Union except on condition of emancipation.” What treason is this 1 The association is called the “Emancipation League," and addresses have been delivered before it at the Cooper Institute by Senator Jim Lane, of Kansas, and Owen Lovejoy, the fanatical M. C. from Illinois. It is intended, if possible, to engraft this treasonable princi ple upon the platform of the Republican party, and convert the war at once into an anti .slavery crusade. It is as rank treason as secession itself, and is based upon the absurd doctrine of the Southern demagogues, that .a State can take itself out of the Union, and (pat those States in whioh the rebellion now prevails are really out. The Newburyport Herald, a Republican journal, thus disposes of the fallacy upon which the “Emancipation League ” has established its creed : “ No State has gone out of the Union, and we are not attempting to bring one into the Union. .We only'aim to suppress insurrection in certain States of the Union, that the laws may bo executed and the loyal people hold control. If the States could take themselveß out of the Union, this would be a foreign war, a war of invasion, and to be justified on no good grounds; but not being out, we can make no conditions for their return. There is the Constitution—they must obey that, and we can impose upon them nothing different or beyond that. Mr. Bryant’s League accepts the ground on which Jeff. DAis started, and it is no more to be tolerated than should be a nest of secessionists.” JIOBE TESTIMONY. Captain John J. Robinson, of Tuscarawas county, now a Captain in the Eightieth Ohio regiment, near Corinth, thus writes to the Holtnes County Farmer, about the damaging effects of the Abolition emancipation projects that, are being passed by the present Con. gress: " The legislation of Congress on the slavery question has greatly strengthened the rebel cause in the southwest. The rebel leaders now say, * Did we not tell you what- the Abo litionists Would do if they succeeded ?’ The Abolitionists have thrown all the doubtful and wavering on the side of the rebels, except a very few . who count chances of success and act accordingly. It is hard for soldiers to crush Secession when Congress is trampling upon the Constitution, and enforcing.the dog mas which aided in bringing this devastating war upon the country. It will take the last life’s drop of many poor soldiers to repair the damage that, the present Congress has done to the Union cause." The . above; expresses the sentiments of the whole army, and every other discreet, sensible man in the Union. ; Jeff;- Davis seems to have two Congresses in Mb interest at the present time,and;the one at Washington is doing him far more goodthan the oneat-Riohmond. -.-'-/io; . ji> DEPARTMENT.

In his speech on the abolition of slavery in tbe Distriot of Columbia, Jn the Senate, Thursday, February 9, 1839, Henby Clat said : “ I am, Mr. President, no friend of slavery. The Searcher of all hearts knows that every pulsation of mine beats high and strong in the oause of civil liberty. Wherever it is safe and practicable, I desire to see every portion of the human family in tbe enjoyment 6f it. But I prefer tbe liberty of my own race to that of any other race. ' Tbe liberty of the descendants of Africa in tbe United States is incompatible with the safety and liberty of the European: descendants. Their slavery forms an exception, resulting from a stern and inexorable aecesaity, to tbe general liberty in the United States. We did not originate, nor are we responsible for, this necessity. Their liberty, if it were possible, oould only be established by violating tbe incontestable powers of tbe States, and in subverting the Union. And beneath tbe ruins of the Union would be buried, sooner or later, the liberty of both races.” THE EDITORS’ BOOK TABLE.

An officer In high standing nnder Halleek arrived here last night, direct from Corinth. The health of the Federala he represents as being good, considering the number of troops there, and denies that there la so much sickness as some of-the.papere through the country represent It. He says the Rebels had very formidable works there and onr army coaid not have taken the place without the loss of at least twenty thousand men. HlB theory of the evacua tion of Corinth Is, that they withdrew the forces to strengthen the.army at Richmond. The proclamation of Gen. Butler' created quite a sensa tion here, and was condemned aa a matter of coarse, by all the respectable citizens* who have a regard for de cency and propriety. Some of tlie blood stained. Aboli tionists approved it most heartily, and even the Abolition press was vile and contemptible enough to respond to this approval with applause aod admiration.. Few meu-deserve more censure fbr suppressing the growing Union senti ment in the Bonth than Gen.

AMITY. PATRIOTIC SENTIMENTS. Senator John P. Hale, of New Hampshire, a prominent Republican Senator, thus took those of bis party colleagues to task—and they are unfortunately too numerous—who are laboring to destroy the Constitution, while pretending to be for the Union. He said elo quently and truthfully : " Sir, this new* Republican party oame into power upon the destruction of two parties that "Bad been false upon this subject; and now whatever party may succeed this Republican party—and God only knows what it will be— j. hope they will not write on our tombstones that we split on tbe rock on which our prede cessors did, and that is, in. want of fidelity to our declared principles. If there is one prin ciple that we have declared often, early and long,..it is fidelity to tbe Constitution, to its requirements and its restrictions. The mourn ers go about the streets in all the places that used to be the high places of power of those two old parties, mourning over their derelic tions, and I trust that will not be left to us! No, sir, let us, under the flag—the old flag— under the Constitution—the- old Constitution —carry on the warfare in which we are en gaged; and if we fail, we shall not fail because the Constitution does not give us power enough, but because we are recreant, and not use the power it does give us. That re all I want. I want the Constitution preserved, and I do want to achieve oven a success that is to be purchased at the price-of honor. I took occasion, in an early part of this session, upon a resolution that was introduced, I think, by mv friend from Illinois, (Mr. Trum bull) hut which was buried in the Committee on the Judiciary so deep that we do not even hear the clods of tho valley reverberate tin the coffin that closed it—-I say, when that resolu tion was up for consideration, when it had life, before it was strangled in the bouse of its friends and by its friends, I took occasion to say what I now repeat, though I do not often make speeches that are worth repeating that I wanted constitutional liberty left to us after the war was over, that constitutional liberty was the great boon for which we were striving. ? and we must see to it that in our zeal to put dowD tbe rebellion we did not trample on that; and that when the war was over, and onr streamers floated hi the air,' and shouts of victory and thanksgiving to God went up from the fips of a regenerated and disenthralled people, in that breeze might still float that old flag, and over this regenerated country might sway an inviolate and a scored Constitution, in the faithful maintenance of which, in the hour of our peril and our trial, we had not faltered." IST* Mr. Hale was, many years ago, a Democrat. Some of the old Jefferson leaven appears to still hang about him, and it would hot be strange if he should yet find it neces sary to return to the old fold again— Eds . Intel . GOV. ANDREW JOHNSON’S SPEECH AT COLUMBIA, TENN., ON THE 2d OF JUNE. Governor Andrew Johnson, of Tennessee, in his late speeoh at Colombia, Tennessee; thaß gave his opinion of the Abolitionists and Secessionists. He said : “ The slavery question is forever thrust; id our faces. The Disnnionists profess a great horror of Abolitionists. Now I will prove very briefly that a Secessionist is as gTeat an Abolitionist as Snmnor- Both the Secessionist s and the Hisunionists are for breaking up this Union. T will state the argument in a syllo gism, thns : An Abolitionist is a Secessionist, A Disunionist is a Secessionist. A Secession ist, is a Disunionist. A Dis Unionist is an Abolitionist, Therefore a Secessionist: is .an Abolitionist. There is not,a particle of dif ference between them. Here is the nation, tossed and rent almost in twain by these unprincipled and ambitious hunters. Now there is a great middle class who lie between these two ex tremes, who must come ap and save the Union. The mass of the Southern people- are for . the Union. The great mass of the Republicans are opposed to Abolitionists. The body of the people everywhere will prove true* to the Onion.” The Tennessee Unionists consider Abolition ism and Secessionism identical. Gov. Johnson thinks an Abolitionist like Sumner as bad as a Secessionist. - - I®*The St. Clairsville (Ohio,) Gazette, ad mirably states' the position of the Democratic) party in the'following brief and forceible lan guage: . • Democrats and their conservative, co-work— era stand not up for tho defense of slavery or any other State institution, as such ; feut theV demand, that under ho pretense of saving the Union, shall the Union itself be overthrown.
