The Democratic State Central Com mittee will meet at the Buehler House, in Harrisburg, on Thursday, the ,28th inst., at 8 o’clock, P. M. A full attendance of the members is urgently and earnestly requested by the ehairman. . A SPIRITED ADDRESS. Hon. Francis W. Hughes, Chairman of the Demooratio State Central Committee, has issued a second address to the people. It is an able and spirited production, and will be found in another column. The suggestion for County Meetings, to be held all over the State on the 17th of September—the anni versary of the adoption of the Federal Con stitntion—is one whioh will, doubtless, meet with favor, and be oheerfully responded to by all the friends of the Constitution as it is and the Union as it was. We presume the Demo oratio Committee of Lancaster county will be called together by the Chairman at an early day to take aotion on the suggestion. Jt@* Lancaster county has responded nobly to the call of her oountry, and many hundreds of her sons are now on their way to the battle field to engage in the death-straggle with the foes of our glorious Republic It beoomes those of our citizens who remain at home, on joying the comforts of life, to sec that the families of those brave men are properly cared for and provided with the necessaries of life. The affluent should give of their abundanoe' and all should be willing to do what they can iH-BO good a cause. The order of the Government is imperative. Drafting ia to be resorted to in this and some other States. We believe the foil quota oonldj have been made up in Pennsylvaniawithih twenty days without a resort fo compulsory', measures. IneeyMalof the Statee, ft is said,- volnnteeiß have’been aqeeptes;end we do net see why foe same favor should not bemade general; .Volunteers are certainly preferable? in many regpeoto to militia. wid we believe a volunteer force of three hundred thousand ad ditional men, could be placed in the field sooner than by drafting, and be muoh more effective. Bat the order is to draft, and it becomes ever; man to obey without “grumbling;- :No' one shonld hesitate a moment aa to his duty. The country is in peril, and all should be ■ actuated by one common impulse of patriot ism. Let the draft be made fairly and equita biy, and tberecan be no ground for oomplaint in any quarter. All able bodied males, subk jeotto military duty; between the ages of 18 and 45, shonld be enrolledi and their names placed where a fair draw can be made, and then every one ought to be satisfied. But theremust be no favoritism, as is given out in some quarters. Any attempt of that kind would be attended with injurious conse quences, and the Government should see to it that its agents aot honestly and fairly in the matter. The drafting is to commenoe on the 3d day of September. HO, FOR VOLUNTEERS I Nathaniel Burt, Esq., of Salisbury town ship, has received the necessary authority to raise another regiment of Volunteers, whioh will be credited to the quota from this county. Mr. B. is a highly intelligent gentleman, pos sessing all the requisite qualifications to make an excellent officer, and we hope to see him successful in his patriotic effort. There are hundreds, aye thousands of young men in the county who ought to volunteer without delay. It will be much better for them in every respect, and .much more desirable than to hang back and wait to be drafted. Several companies have already been started in this city and throughout the oounty, and we hope to Bee the regiment filled up in a week. There should be no holding back now. The oountry iB in danger, and every man should do his whole duty, without hesitation. MOVEMENTS IN VIRGINIA! The statements concerning the retreat of General McClellan’s army from Harrison’s Landing, on the James River, have been de nied and reiterated, and it is not easy to form an opinion as to the preoise nature of the movement on foot. The War Department, for obvious reasons, ooneeals the operations of the army as much as is practicable; but it appears that the rebels were aware of the boginning of the transportation of troops down James River, before it was publicly known here, and it is probable that they are, as is usual in such cases, well informed with regard to what is transpiring on the Peninsula. It is now intimated that General McClel lan is making, or has already made, an entire obange of his base of operations, and that a grand junotion of Federal forces will shortly be effected in the heart of Virginia, whioh will render the fall of Richmond certain. If this Burmise be correot, we shall not have to wait long for news of the most exciting character. MAINTAINING THE CONSTITUTION. The President is apparently determined to adhere to a strictly constitutional policy as the only path of safety for the country—so says the Constitutional Union, and we are glad to believe so too. Mr. Lincoln may lack the polish and statesmanship of some of his predecessors, and be somewhat outre in man ners, but of one thing the people are now re ceiving almost daily assurances from Wash ington—he can be firm. He is not ignorant of the sentiments of the great masses of the people, and, assured of their support, he has the courage to resist boldly the terrible pres sure of the radicals, seeing, as he does, that their course is ruinous, and its end anarohy. He is opposed to extremists on either hand, and has on frequent occasions of late declared his purpose, while proseouting the war vigor ously, to carry it on solely and exclusively for the restoration of the Union and the main tenance of the Government. In this the peo ple are wholly with him, and no measure of Abolition abuse and bluster should swerve him from his purpose. The rebellion is not to be put down by faotion, nor by such divisions among the loyal people of the North as the Forneys and MoMiohaels are seeking to croate by denouncing all as traitors who will not join with them in worshipping the negro. GENERAL HUNTER IN PRINT AGAIN, Gen. Hunter, of Port Royal notoriety, has written a letter to the Rev. Dr. Tyng, Presi dent of the National Freeman’s Relief Asso ciation of New York; thanking that body for their approval of his efforts in organizing and disciplining the negroes. He vindicates his policy, and expresses his conviction that the nation must yet adopt it, and get rid of the evil that has so long brooded over the oountry. He regards it as a military neoessity that the slaves should be armed, and speaks of our disasters before Richmond as an illumination on the subject to many minds. He holds the idea that the negroes will emigrate to the North in many large numbers as a mere de lusion, and thinks that the Northern negroeß are more likely to settle in the South, when the fear of the auctioneer’s block is taken away. J®- Strong efforts ere being made by Gov ernor Curtin to induce the President and Secretary of the Treasury to appoint the national tax collectors from among the men who have served the oonntry in a military capacity. Men can be found in almost every county, town and township in the State, who have lost their health, or have been wounded in battle, but are perfeotly compe tent to perform the duties. This is a move in the right direction, and it is sincerely to he hoped that it will prove successful. It is dne to the men, and would relieve the collection of the tax of much that is disagreeable. OFF FOR CANADA. The Hartford (Conn.) Times states that at least one hundred and fifty men have left that oity for Canada Binoe the President’s order for a draft was issued. Whole families have gone, taking with them their children, beds, kettles, chairs, &o. In upper Vermont and New Hampshire hundreds of families are said to have left for Canada. The new order to forbid all persons leaving the oonntry will put a stop to this Canadian emigration. The government is determined that every man shall Btay and faee the mnsio. ANOTHER ARREST I Dr. Edson B. Olus, of Ohio, the Demo oratio candidate for Congress in his district in Ohio, has boon arrested for uttering alleged treasonable language in a public speeoh and disoouraging enlistments, and sent to Fort Lafayette for safe-keeping. GEN. HALLECK'B PLANS. The Philadelphia Press announces editori ally -that Gen. Hallqpk has completed his plan for the speedy investment and capture of Riobmond, and the conquest of peaoe. His columns are in position; hie roads have been seleoted; his point of concentration has been ohosen. CATED. The Abolitionists of the North whorfaTor the employment of negro soldiers to sid, in crashing the rebellion, quote as die action offjeneral Jackson at Nets Qtleans, iqUJ 14-15 T garbled and fiifr extracts history to bolster ap their assertion. An investigation into .'the fiotaof the oaae will show that so far as it jrintepded to.cdnveythe idea, that, hh. hail slaves, dr even free negroes properly so called, in the battle as soldiers is whoHy ao foanded. That be had “men of color” in his army is true; —but they were refugees from St- Domingo, men of wealth—quadroons or octoroons, and very far from being negroes—, who had fled from the persecdtions of the negro authorities of that Island. General' Jackson, in biß report to the Secretary'of' War, speaks of them as “ men of oolor from St. Domingo, about two hundred in number and in Parton’s Life of Jackson, v 01.2, page 75, they are enumerated as a. “ battalion of St. Domingo men of color, 210.". The address quoted by some of our contemporaries (writ ten, it is said, by Edward Livingston,) alludes to them as “natives,” but that was evidently a misapprehension. Hence the assertion of Mr. Mellon, as quoted by us last week, and whiob, we believe is corroborated by Mr. Wickliffe, of Kentucky, (who was with Gen. Jackson at New Orleans,) in a recent speeoh at Indianopoliß, is literally trne ; and, if our memory serves us correctly, is likewise corroborated by Mr. Eaton, the Biographer of General Jackson. Let the truth of history be vindicated. There were negroes engaged, however, in the great battle below New Orleans, but-not on our side. The British commander tried the experiment, and had two regiments of blacks from Jamaica in bis army. How they performed iB thus told by a writer quoted by Mr. Parton, vol. 2, page 139 : —“The unfor “ tvinate blacks forming the West India regi “ ments suffered most dreadfully from the “ change of climate and alteration of fare; “ they were positively not only useless, but “ absolutely in the way. * * * * “ It was an absolute cruelty to bring them on “ euoh a service, and evinced little, judgment “ on the part of the adviser of such a meas ‘‘ ure.” Tlie British oommander also employed negroes to carry his soaling ladders and the result was a perfect failure, as the blacks could not be induced to advance under the fire of the Americans, but threw away the ladders and fell fiat on their faces to escape the bullets of our volunteers. So much for the Jackson precedent, which on investigation vanishes into thin air. It has also been alleged that there was a regi ment of negroes from Rhode Island in the army of the Revolution. We have seen it no where so stated in any history we have read of that memorable oonfliot, and are therefore inclined to set it down as alike destitute of truth with the statement above alluded to. B@* The Abolitionists of New England, at their meeting at Island Grove, near Boston, on Tuesday week, seemed to have vied with each other, in denouncing the President, and abus ing General McClellan, for not converting the war for the Union into a war for the Negro, and for Negro equality. The President waß oalled a “ moral coward,” a “ tortoiso,” a “ broomstick,” and other names, whioh even the rebel editors and orators of Riohmond or Charleston would be ashamed of. One of the speakers went so far as to urge that we let the South go, unless emancipation be proclaimed and enforced. And this, beyond doubt, is the marrow of the whole matter. These people do not want a Constitutional Union—the Union that Washington, and Jefferson, and Adams, and Franklin framed, —but some sort of a Black Republic, after the San Dominco or Hayti negro equality pattern. If it is treason to disoourage enlistments, then every man who Bpoke at that Grove Island meeting is a traitor. Men have bean sent to Forts Warren and Lafayette for saying things far less treasonable than these New England Abolition utterances. Those men were Dem ocrats, we know—but are Democrats to be punished, while the Abolitionists are permit ted to go soot free ? DRAFTING. The New York Times famishes the follow ing crumb of oumfort to those who are tremb" ling for fear of being drafted : “ We do not wish to tantalize the unhappy part of onr male population who have been prevented by Secretary Stanton’s order from evading the operation of the forthcoming draft. If they were about to run away, they were about to do a very silly thing; hut as the publio did not know their purpose, they may easily make a virtue of neoessity. They may safely and loudly pronounce every man a poltroon who is not willing to do his part in defending the Government that our Revolu tionary fathers founded. We advise them to take this course. They will feel better after having made up their minds to it, for patriot ism is a virtue quite ensoeptible of cultivation. “ Then, again, remember, timid conscripts, that yon may stand the draft manfully, and get off with a blank. The ohanceß are about three to one in favor of escape. If you face the draft bravely, and are not oalled into the •field, you save yonr reputation and ‘ vour bacon.’ “ But suppose you are drafted, do not, we beg yon, whine or cry about it. Do not make arrangements for your-funeral, nor fret yourself about whom yonr wife or sweetheart will marry when you are gone. If you must Deeds go to war, it iB only for nine months: aud it by no means follows that you will be shot, or even shot at, during the whole cam paign. Perhaps yon may be detailed to guard baggage trains in the rear, or to tend sick Boldiers in the hospitals, or to cook the food of those who have a good Btomaoh for fight, who knows. Even if you should by ohanoe be involved in a battle, the resnlt will not necessarily be fatal; for it will be a sanguinary fight, indeed, if one in ten gets hit by musket ball or shell. There is hope for you.” THE NEWS FROM CUMBERLAND GAP. Later intelligence from East Tennessee gives a very different asjjpot to the reoent battle from that reoeived by way of Chioago. It now appears that the little Federal foroe gained a complete viotory, with very small loss, and that the rebels had two hundred and fifty killed and wounded in the aotion. The affair was quite a brilliant one, considering the inequality of the forces engaged. A large amount of forage and seventy horses were taken by our troops. MORE EDITORS IN TROUBLE. The Baltimore Net os Sheet offioe was taken possession of by tho police on the evening of the 14th, and the editors and proprietors sent to Fort McHenry. A New York telegram, dated Thursday, says that D. A. Mahooney, editor of the Dubnqae (Iowa) Herald, was arreßted at an early hour in the morning, by the U. S. Mar shal, charged with disoonraging enlistments. J®* The “ Valley Spirit ” and Times,” at Chambersburg, have been united, and tbe consolidated paper is now published by Messrs. H. 0. Keyseb, B. Y. Harsher and W. Ken nedy. The paper will oontinue to be soundly Demooratio, and sustain the men and measures of the party. We wish the enterprising pub lishers sneoess. RELEASE OF PRISONERS. Colonel Michael Corcoran, Lieutenant Colonel Wilcox, Colonel Bowman and Major Yoodeb have at length been, released by the rebels, and are now in Washington. This will be good news to the many friends of these noble patriots. ' ' LOCAL DEPARTMENT. Depasture of the New Lancaster Countv | Buiuxnt.— I Thenewltfncarier County Regiment, (the 129tti.PennejlTAii!Sy) very unexpected] j to themselves and; every body else, vote ordered to WartUngtonton Friday lest.

Provision had been made for the pay ment of the bounty money ($4O) by the County Oommis> rimers, and thirteen paymasters were appointed—there being three foil companies In camp beside the Regiment. In about an bonr’s time this matter was attended to, and at 9 o’clock the companies took up the line of march, by way pf North. Qu-en and James street*, for the Freight Depot of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company, at the Jane* tkra ot-the- Harrisburg and the f*Uroad, two huge 'trains were In '’writing." Here thousands of peopje were .assembled, and jnany affecting scenes took placet A few minntee before 10 o’clock the trains moved off-amidvthe shonts an&bpsiM of-tbe multitude. - This Regiment is as fioa a looking bodjofmen as we have ever seen. They were highly complimented by Gen. W mil on their appearance. ' They 1 were fhßy tghipped b» fore leaving Harri*burg,xnd werenrmed with the Spring field rifled musket... The_Begimest is composed of the companies of Captains Mosser, Byerly, Neff. Baer, Auden*. ried, 1 Dnncan, Galt, Stevens,' Amweg and Banb. In three or four of the companies all tha non-commledoned officers are not yet appointed, neither are all the staff officers. So for as designated, the offieeiv are as follows: - Colonel—Emlen Franklin. Lieutenant Colonel—Edward McGovern. Msjor—Thaddens Stevens, Jr. Adjutant—Daniel H. Heitrira. Quartermaster—John T. HaeGoolgle. Assistant Surgeon—J. C. Hogendohler. Chaplain—Elam Kirk. Hospital Steward—Andrew N. Thomas. Colonel’s Clerk—Philip H. Dorwart Capt McGovern was appointed by the Governor Lieu tenant Colonel, subject to Gen. Boell’s approval of the Order detaching him from Col. Hambright’s Regiment; but it would appear from the General Order, published the other day, that this will not be permitted, and hence the Lieutenant Colonelcy will have to be filled by another ap pointment. Capt. Musekr would be an admirable selection for the position. The other officers are the choice of the officers and men, Ur. Km* having been chosen Chaplain from the ranks of Capt. Neff’s company. He is a local Methodist preacher, but volunteered to shoulder the mus ket, an example which so well pleased his companlone-ln arms, that they unanimously tendered him tfaeChaplainey. The companies of Cap Us. Phillips, Dennes and Erismao, the surplus mentioned above, on arriving at Harrisburg, were marched to Camp Curtin, and will help to fill ap some other Regiment. Lancaster has done extremely well, and is now the banner county. Another Lancaster Countf Regiment.— Nathaniel Bobt, Esq., of this coanty, has received author ity to raise another Regiment in this county for the unex pired three years’ term, and should it be raised it will be credited oq the draft Ur. is one of our wealthiest, most active and intelligent citizens, and will make an ex cellent commanding officer. Capt. Henbt J. Shbstz, of Gen. McCall’s staff, has been appointed Lleintenant Colonel. He is a regular army officer, a graduate of West Point, and served with distinction in the late battles before Rich mond. He had been tendered the Colonelcy of two Regi ments, but being so well pleased with the kind of material Lancaster sent to the war, he declined the offers, and ac cepted this position. With such men for commanders, we do not think there can be any difficulty in raielng this Regiment. Lancaster has done well, but ehe can do better. Arrived.— The remains of the lamented Capt Aldus J. Niff reached this city yesterday morning, in charge of Mr. Lewis Haldt and Gsobgi F. Brenekan, Eaq. The remains were temporarily placed in the Receiv ing Vault at Wocdward Hill, prior to their interment at Strasbnrg, -where his mother resides. Mesars. Haldt and Bbkxxkan desire ns to return their sincere thank* to Copt. Charles H. Poor, U. 8. N., Andrew J.'Sawdebson, Thomas W. Mathew, John Z ITieneb and the Sexton of the graveyard at Norfolk for many favors, and to Edwabd Young, General Agent of the Northern Contral Railroad at Baltimore, for many acts of kindness. Qoarter Sessions’ Court.— The August Term of the Court ol Quarter Sessions commenced yester day—Judges Hates and Brixion on the bench. Soldier Visitors —We had the pleasure, on Tuesday evening last, of taking by the hand Private Augustus 0. Duchuan, of the Union Guards, who has been sent to Harrisburg on recruiting business connected with the Ist Reserve Regiment. Gnst. received two severe wounds in the third day’s fight before Richmond—one In the bead and the other In the right shoulder. He looks thin, but is recovering rapidly from his wounds, and is in fine spirits. Gust, is a sou of our most excellent Demo cratic friend, Mr. George Duchhax, of East Earl township. This gentleman has still another son in the service, bat that does not save him from being called a “secessionist” and “traitor,” by an infamous fiot of Abolition curs who keep yelping at his heels We also had the pleasure, on Thursday afternoon, of taking by the hand Private J« hn MoCiain, of the same company, who was woanded in the left tide, (the ball not having yot been extracted,) and taken prisoner in the fifth day’s fight before Richmond. Jack was the “bunk mate” of the late William W. Cox, and feels the loss of that noble young soldier keenly. He is now In the U. 8. Hospital at West Philadelphia, and had a furlough ot twenty-four hoars, which enabled him to get to see his triends once more. He Is likewise recovering rapidly. Lieut. Isaiah H. Graham, of the Ist Pennsylvania Re serves, an old chum and schoolmate, one whom we have known since we were “knee high to a duck,” paid us a visit on Friday last. The Lieutenant has been at his home In Carlisle for the pari month recruiting h'ia health. In the fifth day’s fight before Richmond he received a severe wound In the left arm jnst above the elbow—a ball pene trating it and striking him in the side. We had a pleas ant chat together, and many scenes and incidents of “days lang syne” were brought to mind. The Lieutenant has so far recovered that he expects to be able to rejoin bis Regi ment In a few days. He is a brave soldier and gentleman, and will never shirk a duty uor flinch from danger. A Distinguished Lancaster Dentist. A Paris correBpon tent «iys that Dr. Thomas W. Evans, for merly of this city, and who is now D»ntfst to all the Crowned Heads of Europe, has made a lucky strike with the Viceroy of Egypt, now in England. Dr. E. will go to Alexandria next year to perform some professional service for the Viceroy’s favorite wife. He visited,his Royal High ness on his yacht at Woolwich.'and describes him as a magnificently wealthy and liberal and amiable prince.— Among his table service are plates worth $3,000 each; a gold pitcher, set with diamonds, worth at least $500,000; and the Viceroy’s tooth-brush alone, set richly with preci ous stones, is worth at leari $40,000, and the stand upon which it rests half that sum. Dr. Evans has evidently struck a “placer.” A Novel and Beautiful Invention.—Od Thursday morning last, in company with a friend, we called at the residence of onr fellow-citizen, J. J. Springer, Edq., (late U. S.

(‘PASTEBOARD PATRIOTS.” Almost every community is cursed with a class of men, just now, that oannot be better described than by the heading of this article. The Chicago Post describes them as follows: lie is the most belligerent demonstrative of beings. He is continually wanting to hurt somebody, and wanting that everybody should know and believe it. He is for, fight. Not that he is very apt to enlist, unless in the “ Home Guards,” but whenever there is enlisting to be done his voico is heard above all other voices in urging others to do 60. If the emergency is great or the danger immi nent, he gets terribly excited about it. He rushes around frantically, nsos terrific words and gesticulates in an alarming manner. He expresses a vehement desire to rip and slash things . He blows like a thunder-gust. Ha prances and kicks up like an unruly mule on a railroad. Ho snorts like a steam engine. He gets red in the face like a boiled lobster. He roars and bellows and paws the ground with much wrath. He gnash es bis teeth and shakes bis fist at the enemy —six or seven hundred miles off. He ex pressOß a willingness to cut the throats of any number of traitors, and wants to know why other folks don’t do it. He is turbulent. He wants a “ muss” in which somebody or any body (except himself) shall get a broken head. He exhorts somebody to borrow a meat-axe and to “ spare none of them males or females.” He insists upon demolishing things at a single blow, like a quack medi cine advertisement, gives full particulars how to do it. Notwithstanding his terrible habits, he is not a formidable or dangerous object. He is careful to keep in the rear, where, in case of a retreat, he will bo sure to reach a place of safety in the advance. THE NEGRO AND THE ARMY The National Intelligencer publishes a let ter from Gen. McClellan’s army, of which the following is an extraot: “We must get to Richmond, and we should get there before the crops are gathered. We should not permit this people to gather their crops except for us. We have now to conquer —but to conquer by force of arms, and we must do it quiokly. The people will always in spirit be in rebellion. For this reason I think the North should put forth all its ener gies, and, leaving all outside questions alone, crush this insurrection. The question as to tlje social position of the negroes being equal to ours is nonsense, and the effort to elevate them into soldiers by our side tends to disgust the troops, and the moment we have negro troopß to use in the field, good-bye to a white army, and gcod-bye to the institutions we are fighting for. Our people will not work by the side of the negro. Even when the two races are united as teamsters in the same train, the white man revolts. He gets jiok of the negro and of the authority which puts him by the side of his inferior, and he gives up.” The National Republican, published at Wash ington, boldly deolares—we quote its words—that “the farce of restoring the old Union is played out .” — lf. If. Journal of Commerce. This might by some be regarded as treason —bold, bald treason. It is uttered in the ears of the General Government. It is printed under the eyes of Gen. Wadswokth, who has just arrested the editors of a Democratic paper in Pennsylvania on a charge of uttering se ditious language. But no notice will be taken of it by the Government. It declares that the “farce" of maintaining the Union is “ played out,” and thus openly endorses the rebellion and affords 3id and encouragement to the rebels. But the Military Governor of the District will find nothing in it to warrant his interference. It is the Union only that is assailed, not the Administration, and such an offense does not seem to be one that requires the interference of the Government. —New York Argus. WENDELL PHIL,LIPS ON THE WAR. This secessionist assisted at the celebration of Emancipation day at Abington, Mass., and of oourse delivered one of bis usual ti rades against the Union. Among other things, he said: “ Mr. Lincoln is waging a political war.— Better the South should go to-day than lose anothor life to prolong this detestable policy ; that no peace could be bad until Slavery is destroyed ; that so long as the present “turtle” is kept at the head of the Government, a pit (for soldiers) is made with one baud and filled with the other. Let this Union be dissolved, in God’s name, and the oorner stone of a new one be laid.” Here the President is “ stabbed in the house of his friends.” The man whom he delighted to honor—upon whom .be showered such un wonted attention during a recent visit to the Capital, despises him and villifies, him, and is oheered to the echo before a refined Massa chusetts audience. If Wendell Phillips was a Democrat, “ salt petre wouldn’t save him” from the dungeon. —Bergen Democrat. A Delegation or Colored Men at the White House.— An interview took place at the White House on Thursday afternoon be tween President Lincoln and a delegation of oolored men. In response to a request to address the delegation the President gavo his views at length on the stains of the cohned race in this .country. He urged strongly the faot that they could never be .on terms of equality with the white raoe, and argued in favor of negro colonization in Central Amerioa.

At. tho meeting of the- Democratic State Central Committee, held the 29:h alt., the following rCßolutipirvvaa adopted: Jfeeofaerf.: That'the Chairman call upon the loyal men ol Pennsylvania, through the D.sm jwvatto Standing. Committees of the several chanties, to meet, in the several cities and eognties of thejStata, at snob places as shall be designaied by the said Standing Commit tees, respeqtiyeljyvon tbe 17th of September neat, t6«lqbittttaTth at day as the anniversary of'the day- l of the adoption of the Constitution of the United States. / Pursuant to this resolution, I call upon the Democratic Standing Committees respectively in tho several cities and counties of Pennsyl vania to request the Democrats and ail the other loyal citizens to convene in mass meet ings at snch plaoes and at such hours as they respectively may designate, on the 17th_ of September next, to commemorate the adoption of the Constitution of the United States of Amerioa. • Since the 17th of- September/ 1787,' there has been no period in, the-history of America when it was so eminently fitting and impor tant as the pfekent to bring to the attention of the American people, great fundamental principles, which must underlie uny Govern ment whero oivil and religions liberty exist, and especially those that underlie the Govern ment of this Union—a Union which rests for its foundation upon that Constitution which affirms and proposes to make sacred and per ipetual those principles. That Constitution and that Union “ one arid inseparable’’—are now aesailed by foes throughout the whole land; by Seoesaionists in the South and by Abolitionists in the North. The former by a bold, organized, armed movement, strike directly and avowedly attho whole sovereignty and existence of our Constitutional Govern ment. The latter by equally direct effortslmt from under the cloak of recently deolared friendship and patriotism, are seeking to thrust their traitorous stilettos into the heart’s blood of the nation. The people of this land are tbe soaroe of all power. They made Constitutions, and they can, and, (unless they would become the victims of despotism or anarchy) must uphold them. Tho great fundamental principles of civil and religious liberty asserted in the American Constitution are essential to secure us in the enjoyment of life and property, and ‘in the pursuit of happiness. Among these are “the freedom of speech and of the Press,” “the right of the people peaceably to as , semble,” “the right of the people to be secure in their persons, papers and effects against unreasonable searohes and seizures,” that “no warrant shall issue but upon proba ble eause supported by oath or affirmation ; ” “that no person shall be held to answer for a capital or other infamous crime unless on a presentment or indictment of a Grand Jury, exoept in cases arising in the land and naval forces, or in the militia when in aotuai service in time of war or public danger; ” that no oitizen shall “be deprived of life, liberty, or property without due process of law; ” that "in all criminal proseoutions, th(T aooused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and publio trial, by an impartial jury of the State or District where the orime shall have been com mitted, which District Bhall have been pre viously ascertained by law, and to be informed of the nature and cause of the accusation, to be confronted with tbe witnesses against him, to have compulsory prooess for obtaining wit nesses in his favor, and to have the assistance of -counsel for his defense.” “That the powers not delegated to the United States, by tbe Constitution, nor prohibited by it to tbe States, are reserved to the States, respectively, or to the people.” Among “the powers not delegated to tbo United States” but “reserved to tbe States res pectively or to the people," is the right to hold eleotioDS and to determine upon and fix tho qualifications of voters. With the people of Pennsylvania this great right is fixed by the Constitution of tho State, and ho powor but that Constitution, and laws enacted iu pursu ance thereof, can prohibit the exercise of, or limit or restrain that right—a right most in estimable to our people, and “formidable to tyrants only.” Fellow countrymen, on the coming anni versary of the day of the adoption of the American Constitution, in tho exercise of “tho right of the people peaceably to assemble,” let us all solemnly and reverently, in the face of all men and before Heaven, deolare our firm determination “to pledge onr lives, our for tunes, and our sacred honors,” “to preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.” Let ne afford to President Lincoln the most indubitable evidence that, in the observance of his oath of office to do the same thing, we will uphold and support him, just as readily as we have already shown him that in filling up from our ranks the great bnlk of tho army, now and heretofore in the field, we have always been ready at whatever sac rifice to strike down open and armed defiance to the execution of tbe laws and to the sovereignty of the Government. As Demo crats, and as therefore loyal men, we can know no other principle of political aotion, bat to uphold tho Government and obey the laws ; and that the best evidence of our firm purpose to do so is, that as a part of the people, we will demand the maintenance of the Constitu tion in all its parts and the preservation of the Union in its perfeot integrity, and that we will hold all men. North as well as South, who assail onr Constitution, in whole or in part, as disloyal men, and the enemies of the Union of these States. President Linooln, in his inaugural address, quoting the entire provision in the Constitution of the United States, rela tive to the return of fugitives from labor from any State, truly said that he found that pro vision “as plainly written in tbe Constitution as any other;” and in the same address.he justly declared, “I have no purpose directly or indirectly to interfere with the institution of slavery in the. States where it exists. I believe I have no lawful right to do so, and I have no inclination to do so.” Yet the aboli tionists 'of the North are to-day bringing to bear upon President Lincoln a fearful pressure to induce bim to exert all the power which bis official position in present circumstances affords, to aot oounter to this plain provision in the Constitution and to his own pledge to the American people. This pressure has been so great that the President, in bis high position, was induced to appeal to the Union loving Congressmen from the Border Slave States for relief. Let the whole loyal people of the State of Pennsylvania come forward in mass meetings, and with one patriotic and determined voice give assurance to President Lincoln of that relief which he seeks. Let us assure him that the only relief he can ever obtain is from the loyal masses, numbering at least 300,000 men in Pennsylvania alone, who are firmly resolved that as they are the source of all power, and are the supreme power in the land, they intend to “preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States,” against all its foes, whether Abolitionists or Secessionists, Come fellow-countrymen, as you value the great principles of the Constitution—as yon love the Union of these States—as you would avert despotism or anarchy—as if is your right to defend the Constitution against all its foes, and as you have the power to' do so, devote the 17th of September next to such demon strations of the popular heart as will give moral support to all the friends of the country and serve to guide the policy of the offioers of the government in opposition to deadly and fatal counsels. I need not add the counsels which the abolitionists seek to give. Next to the possession of our constitutional rights, we should strive to secure the most thorough ob servance of order, and..the personal rights of every citizen. Our enemies seek to impute to us a willingness to produce a collision of forces. If, by this, ia meant merely a deter mination to have our rigbts under the Consti tution, at whatever sacrifice, let us assure them that while we feel that to surrender these rights wonld degrade our manhood, and, therefore, no suoh surrender ever will be made, yet as good citizens we will yield everything but our hoDor and these rights to avert.suoh collision. We will appeal to, we have the right to expect, and I trust and hope, yea, believe, we shall have the help of the officers of the government to aid us in protect ing onr rights and averting suoh collision. Let us show these enemies : that we well un derstand the baseness of the hearts that, determined upon monstrous wrong, would persist in such wrong, and impute direful catastrophies which they may thus oooasion to the fnendß of the Constitution—of the laws, and therefore of the 1 preservation of perfect order. Standing up as .we do, only to resist aggression upon our rights, upon the heads-of the aggressors must be the responsibility of any oonsequences of evil. But, which may— you, my countrymen, and .the officers of the Government co Operating, guided by kind Heaven—avert. F. W.
