The Demooratio State Convention will meet at Harrisburg on Friday nest, the 4th inst., at 10 o’olock. IMPORTANT.NEWS EXPECTED, Rumors have been current since Saturday of terrible fighting before Riohmond; but nothing of any consequenoe is permitted to be telegraphed, and hence the most painful anxiety exists in the public mind. The Sec retary of War has decided that the details of reoent operations before Richmond and on the Peninsula oannot at present be supplied to the preSß, but says that our arms are triumphant, and that the oity will he taken by General McClellan. Important news is therefore hourly expect ed, but up to 4 o’clock on yesterday after noon, when our paper went to press, nothing definite had been received. “SHODDY » PATRIOTS, We believe it was Dr. Johnson who made the remark that “ patriotism is the last refuge of a sooundrel.” By the expression he did not moan pure, unadulterated patriotism, or love of country, and a willingness to suffer and die, if need be, in its defence like our brave soldiers are now doing on the battle-fields of Virginia and elsewhere; but ho meant that spurious, affected kind,the possessor of which, like the hypoorite described by the great English Poet, “ wears the livery of heaven to serve the devil in.” Such patriots aro to be found at every street corner, of every town and village in our Commonwealth—great over growD, blnstering, blathering demagogues, who are too lazy to work and too cowardly to shoulder their muskets and march in defence of their country. The patriotism of theso oontemptible fellows consists in slandering and villifying a largo-portion of their fellow oitizens, and denouncing them, behind their hacks, as traitors and disunionists. We have quite a number of these “shoddy” patriots in •this oity. It is not necessary for us to point them out by name, as they are well known in the community. Some of thorn attempt to divert public attention from their own rotten characters by exuding their slime npon their neighbors. It is the old stop-thief cry x of the “scoundrel” depicted by Dr. the ear-marks are visible at every step of\'jfs progress. Snob “ scoundrels” still exist, but their power for mischief is at an end. SECESSIONISTS. In these days of politfcal profligacy and corruption all true Democrats and conservative men have to encounter the vilest personal abuse, and hence the Abolitionists have adopt ed the plan of calling every such man a “ Secessionist.” If an individual prefers an honorable peace to war and bloodshed, he is called a Secessionist. If he is opposed'to the negro on an equality with the white man, he is called a Secessionist. If he ■'points to the robbery of millions upon millions from'the public treasury, lie is called a Se cessionist. If he expresses himself in favor of the war being prosecuted to restore the Union as it was and the Constitution as it is, he is called a Secessionist. If he favors the Con stitutional right of free speech and a free press, he is called a Secessionist. In short, let him do or say what he may, and no matter how loyal he is to the country, unless he swears fealty to the Abolitionized Republican party, and follows in the foot steps of Thad uaus Stevens, Simon Cameron, Wendell Phillips, Owen Lovejoy, old Ben Wade, Joshua R. Giddings, etc., he is called a Secessionist, and threatened with mob law and imprisonment. DEATH OF COD. BLACK, The telegraph on Saturday brought the parnful intelligence of the death Col. Samuel W. Black, of the 62d Regiment, P. V., who was killed in a skirmish before Richmond some three or four days ago. No truer patriot or braver man ever unsheathed his sword in this rebellion than Colonel Black, (who had also been a gallant soldier in the Mexican War,) and his death is a public calamity.— He was about 48 years of age, and leaves a wife and family to mourn their sad bereave ment. Peace to his ashes. THE TWO PARTIES, The Democrat^party is in favor of prose cuting the war for a restoration of the Union as it was and the Constitution as it is, so that all the rights of all the States may be what they were before the rebellion broke out. The Abolition party is in favor of prose outing the war, not to restore the Union as it was and the Constitution as it is, but for the emancipation of the negro race, so as to place them on a level with the white raoe. important Order, : _ The Secretary of War, in pursuance of a joint resolution of Confess, has issued an order directing the payment 0 f a prem i am $2 00 forever, recruit who may hereafter volunteer for-three years or daring the war . ; : It is also ordered that -.every soldier who ‘hereafter enlißts, either in the regular army or the volunteers, for three years or during the war, may reoeive his first month’s pay in v upon the mustering of his company into the service of the United States, or after he. shall have been mustered into a regiment already in the service.” President has vetoed'the bill ao ft'orizlng'the,Hanks in theDistaiot of Colum- a less denomination than • !TMs’ss;tt ; SfepiH.-the' iightdirec ypill also put * 0,1 “y attem Pt by the Government to issue small notes, 3 A OKUK VOB 4BOLITIOSIBTI, She 'fierce, fanatic* ofthe North, s* J» the Patriot dh Union, who, withoot enjigcperiJhjie. of the actual oondition of themillionay>f negroesheJdin sluyery*o|'their present fitness for/frOedcm and elevation ;in social pojition, keep, the country inperpetual sjptatiopby their howla for immediate emancipation, any le«n something froinT fejibllpw^extrijot from the Portland(Maine) Advertiser, VBei piiblican paper: _ Hr. Gboroc H. Bosks, of Portland, who was sent to Sonth Carolina, after the capture ofHiltoff Head, as a negro missionary, to pro pagate abolition views, Has recently returned : from his mission, and has published his views on the present condition of the slave population and their moral and intellectual fitness for freedom. He does not like slavery—he pro nounces it a corse; but what to do with it—-a I question that troubled bis. mind ! —now botbers him considerably. A single quotation from his published experience will show"how widely he now differs from the im mediate and unconditional emancipationists who are ringing into the ears, ofthe public, through Congressional representatives, their crude and dangerous ideas. _ Mr. B. says: “ Before I went South, Fre “ mont bad issued his proclamation, giving “ unconditional emancipation to the slaves of “ the rebels in Missouri. I hailed that procla- It mation as a God-send, and most heartily en '*dorsed it. I only wished then thatonr noble President would catoh a similar spirit. “ return North from South Carolina with alto gether new and different feelings. My ex “ perience and observation, though limited, “has tanght me a new-lesson. There must be “ a controlling power exercised over the negro "of the present generation, educated as he has " been under a system of slavery, else you “ ruin the blacks, and weaken the Chvem “meat He enters his protest against “ immediate, emancipation "—“ for then," he remarks, and truly, too “ you would have either four mil “ lions of paupers for Government to sustain “ or, being incapable of self-support in its full “ est sense, they will prey upon the oommuni “ ties wherever they shall scatter." Let the Abolitionists chew this crum and digest it before further inflaming the publio mind with their impracticable and wicked ideas. -IT SHACKS OF TREASON I The Abolition prints of the North (inclu ding the jdne in this oity) contain column after column, daily and weekly, devoted to the work of persuading the Southern people that the Demooratio party sympathises with the re bellion, and that if they will only manage to hold out a few months longer the Northern Democracy will come to their assistance. This would, doubtless, be vastly encouraging to the rebels, if they could place any reliance on the assertions of these papers ; but, fortu nately for the cause of the Union, these pesti lent sheets have acquired so bad a character for veracity that even the rebels oannot possi ble believe them. If they could, is it not apparent what a vast amount of injury would be done, and how the war would be protracted for years to come ? Heaven preserve the oountry from the evil effects of the pernicious teachings of these Abolition demagogues—these followers of Stevens and Greeley and Phillips and Gid dings and Sumner. GENERAL SHIELDS. To say that the refusal of the Senate to confirm the nomination of General Shields for promotion to the office of Major General has astonished the country, is a little short of the whole truth. The feeling is one of indigna tion, and the universal desire is to know the reason upon which the brawling Abolition traitors who.oontrol the action of that body base the rejection. It is an easy matter to satisfy our own mind as to the true cause— and we apprehend we are not singular in this —but we should like to hear from themselves, or their Republicans friends, upon what 'grounds they will dare to attempt a justifica tion of their course towards this distinguished officer. Upon the soil of Mexico and upon our own—at Cerro Gordo and Winchester— has his blood been shed in defence of the flag of his adopted country. This ought to be considered good evidence of courage and pa triotism ; and surely the high terms in which he has been spoken of as an officer by the Generals under whom he has served, should convince even Abolition Senators that he has Borne merit, and is at least as well qualified as most of those whom they have confirmed, to command a division. Waß it; therefore, be cause he was born in Ireland, because he has ever been opposed to “letting the Union slide,” or because he is a Democrat, that the Abolition Senate rejected his nomination f BON. C. L. VALLANDIGHAM, The Louisville Democrat, a Union paper in a State where Unionism costs something, thus alludes to this gentleman : “ Several of our friends wish to know move of the record of Vallandigham on the war. We don’t approve all his acts, but we do say he is a Union man—and no secessionist—that he has been so uniformly and persistently. He has voted against and opposed all radical' is no. That he is for putting down this rebel lion, and that his constituents at home, who support him, are for it, there is no doubt. We shall take the trouble to give his votes on this subject, and our opinion is, he will be found a better Union man than those who abuse him." Among the antecedents of Mr. Jallandig uam, to which the Democrat may possibly refer, is the following. In the debate upon the election of Mr. Sherman to the Speaker ship, in 1859, just after the John Brown raid, Mr. V., as we quote from the New York Tribune of that date, said: “ He repeated that the man who indorsed Helper’s book, containing as it did insurrec tionary sentiments, and intended, as it was, to bow the seeds of discord, strife and oivil war, was net fit to be a speaker, or member of this Houbo. He proceeded to argue that there was great and imminent danger of a disruption of this Union ; but there are few men, North or South, who desire it—while others are reckless whether it comes or not. He would not concede that the leaders of the Republican party are actuated by honest and conscientious motives in their opposition to slavery. 'ln the early days of abolition it might have been go, but not now. It was now for political mastery, and was used now as the political algebra of the day to make ont disunion. He declared in the course of his remarks, that he was against disunion, now and forever. He held to one Union, one Con stitution, one Bed tiny, which oould not be ful filled except as a united people, and by the immediate, total, unconditional destruction of the sectional and anti-slavery Republican party.’ [Applause.] This is the head and front of Mr. Yallan dighah’s offending. — Cincinnati Inquirer. « THE CONSTITUTIONAL UNION.” We have received the first and seoond num bers of this new Democratic weekly, started in Philadelphia by Thomas B. Florence & Co. . The paper is everything that was prom ised in the prospeotus, being a large and hand some sheet, and well filled with able and in teresting articles suited to.the times in which we liye.. It is evident from the two numbers already issued, that the Constitutional Union will be a fearless and talented advocate of Demooratio measures and men, and as suoh we wish.it-abundant kucoess.

It is this, that preserves not only the name by whioh Democrats are known, rbutrwbiuh increases the vitality-Bnd : preserves the„individuality . and integrity of our time-hohbred organizaiion. The Oemb- - oratio-party is not ever .changing its party name. Why ? Becaqsp, no difference . what ■ issue may arise that may temporarily estrange members of their party, they are nevertheless always Democrats still. The corner stpne of the organisation at all times aud under all oir oumstanoes retains its place. It was laid by Jefferson, Madibon re baptised it, and Jack- . son swore ‘by the Eternal’ that it'must prevail.’ That oorner stone is based upon the immutable rook of Truth, Justice and Equal ity—terms not known in the vocabulary of the ' Abolitionists of the present day. - “ It is, therefore, ‘ Love’s Labor Lost ’ to attempt the alienation of Democrats from their old-party faith. Bitterns was the contest be tween the friends of Douglas and the adhe rents of Breckinridge, on the ‘ Territorial question,’ it is an issue now belonging to the past. Tbe Republicans have settled the question. In a reoent enactment of Congress they have decreed that the people of the Ter ritories are not competent to determine their own domestic institutions, but that forever hereafter slavery shall not exist, whether the people desire it or not, in any of the Territo ries of the United States. They have done what the Democratic party would not do.— Congressional ‘ intervention ’ in affairs that belonged to the people of the territories and not to Congress, has at length settled the ques tion that divided Democrats, and the Aboli tionists arc responsible. Never after this - should they open their months on any question [ involving the .‘rights of the people.’ They ] never were the friends of a Republican form of government. Never from the days of Old : Federalism to the present moment were they 1 friendly to a popular government. ‘ Consoli- 1 dation,’Centralization,’ ‘ Protect the rich | and the rich will protect the poor,’ are the ] principles upon whioh the opposition to De- 1 mocraoy have been based ever since we have 1 had a government. In these principles, and 1 in these only, they have never changed. They ( never had and have not now any confidence in 1 the capacity of tbe people to govern themselves. They are the same as when Jefferson was .j reviled, when Jackson was execrated and , Polk scorned. Let thoso who doubt, read the 1 history of the oountry. We defy truthful con- - tradiction. We repeat, from the dayß of Jefferson to the present hour there has been , a party in this Republio who feared the people, i and have attempted to ourtail their power.— < Who dare say there has not ? 1 “ That beloved country which the Democrats have always sustained, ‘ right or wrong/ is now in the day of its greatest peril. Tbe Dem oeratio party will not forsake it now. It is their mother, and no parricidal hand, North or South, shall strike her down. Issues, now dead, that for years have paralyzed her truest sons, shall no longer interpose to ward the blow that will successfully defend her. The lamented Douglas lies in an honored grave. Better far that his competitor ‘ slept so well/ Both are dead to their party friends, and it iB beyond the power of the enemies of both to continue the quarrel over their remains.” STARK MAD. In further evidence of the confirmed insanity of the Telegraph, we give our readers tbe fol lowing elegant extract from one of the daily effusions of that blatant echo of revolutionary abolitionism: “ Let the people narrowly watch tbe man who approaches them on this subject of taxa tion, with the plea that revenue thus asked from them is the imposition of an unjust and illegal burden. Tbe man who indulges in such representations is a traitor in an incipient state, fast preparing himself to avow the other doughface dogma that armed resistance to re bellion is coercion, and that coercion is repug nant to the sovereign citizen.” Thus it appears that whoever dares to dis cuss the subject of taxation, either in connec tion with its details, the approaching army of overpaid tax collectors, or the stupendous rob beries, exceeding one hundred millions of dol lars., which have been perpetrated on the public treasury by corrupt partizans, ig.a traitor ! Whoever enters his protest against the wild schemes of emancipation proposed by dema gogues, iu violation of the Constitution and the reserved rights of the States, is a trav tor! Whoever, in Bbort, does not think and act with the Telegraph, is a traitor! There is but one political creed, and the Telegraph is its prophet. Its mandates, to true believers, are as binding as the Koran ; its arguments are potent and rounded off with the threat of a halter 1 This is free speech for Abolitionists; the gag of terrorism for all the rest of mankind 1 And this, too, not in tho be nighted regions of Asiatic despotism, but in a land whose people proudly claim to bo the freest of the free !—Harrisburg Patriot. There are several prophets of the same creed here in Lancaster—prominent amongst whom is an individual who was well, if not favorably, known to the citizens (especially the officials) of Harrirburg some years ago.— Eds. Intelligencer. DEATH OF AN EDITOR. Charles D. Murray, Esq., Editor of tho Democrat & Sentinel, died in Ebensburg, Cambria county, on Friday, the 13th ult., in the thirtieth year of his ago. Mr Murray was a promising lawyer, well versed in gener al literature, a bold, vigorous writer, an earnest advocate of Democratic doctrines, and a liberal, generous, warm hearted man. He was a native of Armagh, Indiana county, whence he removed in early life with his pa rents to Cambria county, and was admitted to the bar in 1853, having previously studied medicine, which he soon abandoned for the law. In the death of Mr. Murray the Democratic party of Cambria has lost a powerful and zealous supporter, and tho community a good THE PRESIDENT AT WEST POINT. President Lincoln paid a flying visit to General Scott at West Point, on Tuesday last. The papers have indulged in numerous spec ulations as to the object of the visit, but as Mr. Lincoln did not 6ee proper to divulge it, of course the public are left somewhat in the dark. The probability, however, is that he wished to consult the veteran General with reference to the campaign in the Valley of Virginia; and this is the more plausible ex planation from the faot that, upon his return to Washington, the several corps of Fremont, Banks and McDowell were ordered to be consolidated, and plaoed under command of General Pope. NORTH CAROLINA. Gov. Stanley visited Washington (N. 0.) on the 15th ultimo, and was received in a most flattering manner by the citizens and military. On Tuesday, the 17th, a large Union meeting was held in the oity court house, at which Gov. Stanley delivered a patriotic ad dress. The audience was large, people coming a distance of forty or fifty miles to hear the Governor speak. The arguments he advanced in favor of the Union and of the polioy of the Government were strong and foroible. He conoluded his address by calling upon the people of the South to come baok to the bless ings offered-them under their" old flag, and to enjoy once more happiness, peaoe and plenty.

THE QUESTION OF THE TIMES Under this head the Washington Star dis cusses in an elaborate article the slavery question; urges upon the Border States gradual emancipation with colonization ; and says how certain it is that “ no white man in the Border slaveholding States, rich or poor, jn high position or in hnmble life, can fail to be immensely advantaged in*the end by the displacement of slave with white labor around him.” Tho Star thus handles tho policy of the Abolitionists : t ‘‘What the policy of the Abolitionists means, is being realized in the rapid increase of de mands on the National Treasury to support and extend the scheme of gathering the negroes of the South into huge and numerous boarding schools, there to be fed, clothed and educated at the cost of the loyal white taxpayers, already burdened almost past endurance to meet the legitimate expenses of the war. Although in its infanoy, it will be safe to say that this polioy has already added millions on millions to the taxes necessary to be paid by Northern white labor nominally on account of the war. Every man of observation must now compre * hend that, if it is to have longer sway, it promises to make the white people of the land merely the providers of board, clothiDg and education for the negroes of the South, free of cost—a result that few pt present over-zealous anti slavery sympathizers will endorse an hour after their very first settlement with the tax gatherer, soon to pay them his first visit on account of the war. It is also the policy of filling the North, as well as the South, with four millions of idle uncontrollable negro consumers and non-producers, in place of keeping in the South, os formerly, four mil lions of laborers, on every dollar of whose productions Northern white labor and capital annually drew &b large an. aggregate divi dend as was drawn by the capital actually working it for its own profit. It is further the polioy of forcing 'white, and black social and industrial, equality upon all, that must inevitably end in bloodshed amounting to a war of races that will exterminate the race for whose benefit it is so unwisely sought to be entailed on the country.” W DEMOCRATIC; STATE CONVENTIONS.

The Washington Fire Company, No. 4, intend having a grand display of fire-works from the enpola of their Engine House, In North Queen street, on the evening of the 4th. The “ Ebnteverein ” intend celebrating the day at their gronndsfon the Conestoga. The Fourth ay Lmz —The annual celebratloh at Litis Is expected to be more extensive and spirited than usual. A committee of arrangements has been appointed, who have engaged the attendance of a good band of murio from Lebanon. The Declaration of Independence will be read and an address be delivered In the afterroon, and the spring and groonds will be beautifully illuminated in the evening. Prisoners op War,— Oft Wednesday after* noon last some four hundred Confederate prisoners of war passed through this city, on their way to Fort Delaware, below Philadelphia. They were in charge of a detachment of the 115th Pennsylvania Regiment. The men, we learn, although looking “much the worse for the wear.” were generally rather fine-lookiDg and possessed or considerable intelligence. The depot and vicinity -were crowded with spectators, and all questions asked the “Secesh” were freely answered. Death of John Gish.—The obituary col umn of oor paper to-day records the decease of Mr. John Gish, which occurred on Wednesday morning last at his residence in. East Oraogo street after an illness of some five weeks He was previous to hia illness and for many years, past connected with the book business in this dty, having been for a long time Chief Clerk in Sheaffer’s Es tablishment No. 32 North Queen street and was known to many of our citizens, aod commanded the respect and esteem of all who knew him. He was connected with the book-business longer than any other person in the city, and was popular with every one with whom he transacted business. Many will misk his familiar form as they pass by bis accustomed place of business, and be brought to think over the truth that man is like the grass that perisheth. Dr. John Leverqood, of this city, has been again appointed an Assistant Surgeon In the Army. The Doctor hold the tame position In the Pennsylvania Reserve Corps last snmmer and fait, but was compelled to resign on account of ill health, which we are glad to know Is now fully restored. He left for Washington some days since. Clerical Change. — Rev. J. W. Hoffmeir, of this city, for the last six years and a half pastor of the German Reformed Church at Millersville, has received and accepted a call from Manchester, Md., aud will enter upon bis new chargo on Sabbath next. Death of Another Voeunteer.— A corres pondent informs os of the death of Robert Q. Davm, a vol unteer in the 99th Regiment, Pennsylvania Volunteers, attached to Co. B. He was a resident of Little Britain township, this county. His death occnrred on the 23d of last month, and his ago wfU 20 years and 12 days. Peace to the young soldier’s manes. Recruiting.— Lieut.

We congratulate (says the Providence Post) our ultra Republican friends who patronize the Louisville Journal from sympathy for its per secutions at home on account of its sound Union principles, upon having an opportunity of reading some plain talk,in its columns. That paper concludes an article denunciatory of the abolition emancipation schemes as fol- “ In no event will we submit to the execu- tion of such projects ; in no event will we secede on account of their adoption. We will neither surrender our rights or forsake them. Wo will maintain our constitutional liberty at all hazards, and as a necessary step towards that end, we will maintain the Union in a like manner. We are for the Constitution as it is, arid the Union as it was! We ask for nothing m6re; we will submit to nothing less. We speak purely as American patriots. Let abo litionism and secessionism alike take heed. Here we plant ourselves. If Republican leaders imagine they can dislodge us by “ un constitutional projects ” on paper, let them, if ;they will, try the fatal experiment. The na tion, to be sure, will suffer new trials, and new perils, but amidst the convulsions of the un necessary evils, one blessing at least will bios som forth. The Republican party will oease to fexist. It will be swallowed up utterly and forever. It will be buried in the same grave with secession;!' ! GEN. BUTLER’S ORDER NO. 88.

The solution is a complete ‘•blurt” and no mistake. In the exuberance of exultant Joy,—in the consciousness of success,—ln the feeling of relief consequent upon the termination of the herculean effort,— just recovering from the exhaustion of travel, the writer exclaims “ttere,” we ‘ done” it. didn’t toe ! We feel "ryo'ced” as we hope our readers also do. There is no doubt but the readers rejoice that the solution is ended, and many hope they may never again be afflicted.with such i ridiculous nonsense. \ Sense end patriotism are sought for in vala in the Republican organs of Lancaster. Take , away the articles aevotea to sc'arrflons abase of the “Intelligencer” and nothing remains bnt gleanings from other sources. Vide the last “Examiner” for instance. Were it not for eman cipation and the precious negro their papers would proba bly remain blank sheets. Their pigmy intellects eannot rise shore or beyond these subjects. Through intense ap plication and exclnslre .study they hare rendered them pelres Incapable for the consideration of anything else.— To discuss the questions of the day, and glre original opinions in regard to the interests of the country is beyond their ability. They fear to rentnre the expression of an idea, they lack the courage, or rather want the ability, to hazard an pinion of their own. All they can do is to cry “treason,” “traitor” “secessionist,” 40. Well, this they bare so well committed to. memory and repeat it so often that it has lost all force and shows only to what extremi ties they are forced. They shriek “secessionist,” and then all their argnmen ts are exhausted.. Let any one disease the subject of taxation, he Is a traitor I Let any oue expose the euormouß robberies,perpetrated upon the public treasury, and he embarrasses the government—is a traitor! Whoever protests against the wild sebemesof emancipation and negro equality with the white man is a traitor ! Let any oppose the gross, flagrant violations of the Constitution, he is a traitor! Let any one assert that there Is a difference between supporting the Government and sustaining tbe corruptions of the present Administra tion, he Is a traitor! Let any one attempt a defense of the Constitutional rights now encroached upon and usurped by unwarranted power,Tie Is a traitor! Whoever, in short, does not think and act with the Abolition organs, is a traitor! We have no faith iu loyalty as represented by the Republican press of onr county. Those who cry “traitor” tbe loudest may safely be suspected. Not every one who bellows “traltot 5 * most lustily is himself a patriot, and not all who most flatter the Administration and are loudest in its defence are exemplary citizens, true to all the instincts of Constitutional freedom. For example the “Express.” He who believes, in these times, that he serves his country by unsparingly denouncing others of a differ ent political faith, wholn the exercise of their rights re fbse to think as he bids them, gives proof unmistakable that he has abandoned his country and feels indifferent to its fa to. He is without a spark of patriotism, disloyal Jn every sense, a foe to the government and a traitor in heart, an Incipient tyrant and an abettor of despotic rule. Every one thus engeged bad better open his eyes and see things as they are, before ho attempts to lead others. Tbe mission of theßepublican organs of Lancaster seems to be to abuse, dander and vilify every one who has the courage to oppose the fanatical, destructive policy of the Abolitionists. They feel the tide of public opinion is rolling against them. Their prospects are waning and hence their alarm. The people of the whole country are becoming aroused. They begin to see and feel the great evils which abolition agitation has brought npon them.— Let abolitionists note the change of sentiment going on around tbem, and if they have faith in their principles they will adopt a more manly form of argument. As it is, wo cooclnde their cause warrants no better defence. However great the evils in which we are involved, aus picious signs are not wanting, One blessing at least be gins to blossom. The Republican party will cease to ex- lt will be swallowed up utterly and forever. It will he buried in the same grave with secession, covered with the imprecations and curses of every lover of our couutry. This awful fate stares tbe abolition organs In the face, and hence their desperation and their distressing howl. It is not without some purpose that they labor-to divert their readers with tirades of personal abuse, malicious slander, wilful perversion, misrepresentation and lies. For The Intelligencer. “Occasional,” the special Washington correspondent of Forney’s Press, devotes nearly a column In that paper of the 23d of Jqdo to his epistle. In which he seeks to con trast tho action of a State Convention recently held at Indlanoplis with that of our own county held on the 18th cf Juue. The attempt is a labored one to prove that the delibera tions of our County Convention tended solely to embarrass the Administration, and not to sustain the Executive; that the tenor of the resolutions 1 proved conclusively that their object was to hurt the good cause—not to help ii that the Convention “was compoted in great part of Breckin ridge men. who do not regrtt or recall the support given to a secret TUsunionist then, or an armed rebd now;” in short, that the action of the recent Democratic Convention in ibis county savored not only strongly of, bat gave unmis takable evidences of disloyalty, Now, we believe, there is yet some doubt among the leading public ns to the real identity of this special cor respondent of the Press, “Occasional,” this inspired politi cal prophet, noted for bis singularly inaccurate predictions, his illusory deductions, and the shifting weather-cock line of policy he generally sees fit to advocate and pursue. It has been hinted before now that these effusions of “Occa sional” find their origin Ju the fertile brain, and come direct from the pen of the immaculate editor of the Press, John W. Forn-y, himself. Be this as it may. auy man of ordinary mental capacity, who has gone to the trouble to peruse the letter in the Press of the ?3d of June cannot fall to Fee, plainly mani fested, that spirit of nnfairness, and studied effort of delib erate misrepresentation, which have characterized more or less all the political emanations of that journal, since the editor has twice received office and emolument at the hands of the dominant party. “In leaving this contrast to the people,”’ this letter writer had mnch better, In order to give the people a chance to Judge of the loyalty or disloyalty of the Democ racy of Lancaster County, have published (as mnch more space would not have been reqiusite) the names of the par ticipants in that Convention, for the purpose of showing the utterly overwhelming Breckinridge dement present, and the non-representation of the.friends of Douglas. But, above all, it but a shadow of regard for truth, and a lim ited desire to present facts had actuated the writer, he would have given the public the resolutions entire and in tact, instead of bnt thru of the nine resolutions adopted in that Convention. Ignoring almost totally the existence' of others, the first of which declares unequivocally “ That the Democratic parly of Lancaster County stands now, where it has ever stood, the friend and upholder of the Con stitution and thv Union, and win continue to stand by them as the only hope for greatness and blessings for the future as they afforded glory and prosperity in the past.” Is this what Is meant by embarrassing the Administration, and not sustaining the President? T6e second resolution declares emphatically, lt T7uit sc unionism backed by armed rebellion is trzason, and the Democratic party wiU support the Administration in all its constitutional 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 be 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!* . Does this savor strongly of disloyalty? “of. a desire to hurt and not to belp tbe good cause?” of an open commit tal to an anti-war policy? If so, we mnst confess we are unable to see It, unless, like “Occasional,’' we were anlma ted by a total disregard of the troth, and an nnmltigatod and mendacious desire to prevaricate and pervert facts, which attempt most be so apparent on the part of Forney’s special correspondent, that any one even with a cracked braxn can perceive it V7e invoke a candid, unbiased pe rusal of the resolutions adopted, when the Teal contrast will show the vain, distorted effort of this correspondent. A word more. The writer appeals to the Dongles men who took part in the deliberations of that Convention, (and by personal acquaintance knows they were not a few, and were sot entirely overwhelmed,) whether tbe stote ment that the proceedings were dictated by James Buch anan, is true or false ? "Whether tbe resolutions were not offered by a Douglas man ? Whether they were not fnJly represented on the Committee on Besolntlons, and in tbe organization of tbe Convention? And whether, men of the strongest Douglas proclivities were not elected as del egates to the State Convention? Men, too, who followed the fortunes of Dongl&s from principle, and not actuated by selfish motives of pecuniary advantage. Like tbe u Jackdawin Peacock's feathers” the designs and motives of John W. Forney are thoroughly understood and apprecia ted by the honest Douglas Democracy, for whom one “hood-winking" is qnite sufficient. Bachelor. APPEAL TO RHODE ISLAND. Governor Sprague, of Rhode Island, appeals to the citizens of that State, for mors troops, to report within ten days to the State Central Military Committee. He says: “ Recent advices from the War Department to the Governor of this Stats, indicate that in a certain contingency an additional number of troops will be required for tbe purpose of en abling the Government to Bend forward, from home localities, tbe men whose experience en titles them to more active servioe near the seat of war. “ It is impossible now to foretell what oourse ■ the necessities of the country will require the Executive of this State and Mother loyal States to adopt to keep to its proper standard thearmy .of the United States. A resort to the power conferred upon the Governor by the laws of .this State wilt be the last measure which he will be oalted upon to adopt; but in view of that contingency, we again appeal to all good oitixens to embrace this present opportunity for voluotary servioe,' which events now seem t > foreshadow wil! be the last that will be af forded.” What the Angel of the Loan said to a Slate. —The following is from that spicy sheet, the Logan Gazette: Yon will find what the angel said in Gene, sis xvi., 9: . ; “ And the angel of .the Lord said t Return to thy mistress and submit to her bonds,”; This showsthe difference betweena modern Abolitionist and' an angel of the Cord.-.

The treaty made through Ministor Corwin, loaning $ll,. 000,000 to Mexico; has, it is understood, sanctioned by the President. The delay in the presentation of this treaty has, His thought, been owing to the reluctance of the President to submit a project so directly at variance with the recent action of the donate upon the subject matter of Mexican affairs, while nt the same time he has probably not felt willing to withhold It from their action, should a disposition exist to change onr line of policy, and take a direct part in the affairs of Mexico, to which this treaty according to report would commit ns.

We would also call tbe attention of the modest, self-oooßtituted censor of the pulpit, the press, and of pubfio and private morale, who publishes the Telegraph, to the sentiments uttered by General Wal bridge, of New York, on the same occasion, which brought forth vociferous applause from the large and-intelligent auditory present: “ So far as tbe President is ready to go in maintaining and upholding the Constitution and the laws, the Democracy will back him. They are as true to the Constitution as the needle to the pole,” ***** with out office, without honors, without emolu ments, the Democracy of the North have displayed a sublime enthusiasm ip fav:r of. constitutional liberty never before equaled or surpassed in ancient or modern times/ “ Whether "upon the plains of Missouri, in the mountain gorges of Virginia, on the banks of the Potomao, or investing the rebellious city of Richmond, they present the very incarnation of triumphant patriotism ; nor will their labors be suspended until the terri torial limits, of the United States shall be recognized in all their proportions, as they were before this rebellion began. Paying Dear for a Newspaper. — Mr. J. Seabury sued Bedford 0. Wait, for seven years subscription to his newspaper. The case was recently tried before the Supreme Court in Albany. The publisher recovered, and the delinquent subscriber had to pay. in judgment and costs, a sum amounting to between two and three hundred dollars. The N. Y. Obser ver speaks as follows of this case : ‘lt is surprising that so few subscribers fully understand their responsibilities to pub lishers of newspapers. The law which gov erned in this decision is a law of Congress, and therefore applicable to every State in the Union. Many subscribers seem to regard the bill for a newspaper the last to be settled, especially the last which tbe law will enforce. Responsible men, even, under trifling whims, refuse to take their papers from the office, regardless of the payment of arrears, and when half a dozen more years have been added to the arrears, at the time of stopping, think it hard to pay the inoreased bill with interest and oost of oollection. Well Said.— The Providence (R. I.) Post thus speaks of the assaults of disunion Aboli tionists upon the Union loviog and loyal De- mocraoy There are five hundred Abolitionists in our State to-day—wo think we do not overstate the number—who would not give a day’s work, or lift a hand, or move a finger, or speak a word, to restore the Union 1 Their position is no se cret. They are plain, out.spoken, square to the-mark men. Bat these very men aan accuse Democrats, who have never uttered a disloyal word—who have been known as Union men and-pleading for, the Union through their whole lives, while men of the Republican party have beep pro posing, in resolutions and speeches, to -'let the Union slide ” —they oan accuse the Demo crats of disloyalty with all the ooolness of a Polar Refrigerator.” Wonderful Cow Story. —A valuahle cow belonging to Mr Daniel Tilton, of East Finley Township, died a few days Binoe, from causes so inexplicable, as to lead the owner to b#yo a post mortem examination, when:eigbt pjtrfeot ,'Jy formed but rather small fixed. oalvesTfere fonndin ! the stomach^two oftbem'without h'airi ''Thia ie ahead of ; anythihg f -nh < 'the/(!alf 4ihd Trehave evSf yet line WiwiWfipton {Fa) Exminer. • Edwin M.
