George Sanderson, OF LANCASTER, BEFORE THE DEMOCRATIC CEN TRAL CLUB OF PHILADELPHIA. Delivered on Saturday Evening, Arpril 11. Mr. Sanderson, after some preliminary remarks, addressed the Club in substance as follows : But three brief years ago we were a united and happy people—the Constitution everywhere over our wide domain, and by every citizen, acknowledged and respected as the supreme law of the land, and the laws made in pursuance thereof enforced, without difficulty, in every State of the Union, save in one or two isolated oases in New England. And this had been the happy condition of things for the seventy years preceding the accession to power of the present National Administration.— 'Tis true there was not an unbroken chain of Democratic rule during all that long period. There had been occasional chan ges from the highest to the lowest officers of the Government ; but no matter what par. ty, Whig or Democratic, obtained the as cendancy, the country was considered safe, for both were national parties, and their adherents were counted by the thousands in every State of the Union. With but a solitary exception in the administration of public affairs—and to that I shall present -ly advert—the great principles of civil liberty were held sacred throughout the length and breadth of the Republic. The freedom of speech and of the press—the right of the people to be secure in their persons and estates from illegal and arbi trary arrests and seizures—the right of trial vouchsafed to each and every individ ual, high or low, rich or poor, by a jury of his peers—and last, but not least, the inestimable privilege of the great writ of habcas corpus—all these constituted the very substratum of American liberty, and formed the foundation for...the whole struc ture of our free government. We inheri ted these rights from our British ances tors. They are part and parcel of the Great Charter which was extorted from an unwilling and despotic monarch, by the may be lightly lurdened., made the nation what it was prior to Barons of England, more than six hundred 'Freedom of religion,' freedom of the the breaking out of this unnatural, fratri years ago, and any attempt now on the I press, and freedomof perhonunder the pro- tidal war.

The glorious old flag of the Union was respected at home and abroad, and 'everywhere, in all parts of the civilized world, to be known as a citizen of the Groat Republic, was as much of a passport to favor and consideration, as was the claim to be a Roman citizen during the imperial sway of Augustus Caesar. The influence of our example of self-govern ment was silently but surely working its way into the minds and hearts of the down trodden masses of the old world, and the monarchs and despots of Europe stood aghast at the giant strides we were_ making in the arts and sciences—in enmmerce and manufactures—in agriculture and the mechanic arts—and in the vast wealth and power we were rapidly accumulating under the beneficent rule of a just and free Gov ernment. The principles of civil and reli gious liberty, so admirably and forcibly enunciated by Mr. Jefferson in his first In augural Address, and so faithfully adhered to by all his Democratic and Whig suc cessors in the Presidential chair, were the watch-word for the down-trodden millions of despotism in Europe, and had impreg nated public sentiment and permeated the minds of the masses there to such a de gree, that kings and potentates had been forced, at the - risk of losing their crowns and their heads too, to make large and im portant concessions to the great principles of Magna Charta. The American Repub lic was becoming the wonder and admira tion of the whole world, civilized and sav age. Like a city set on a hill, it could not be bid. It was the observed of all observ ers among the nations, and like the sun at noon-day, it shed its light and fructifying heat in turn over both hemispheres, and its blessed influences were everywhere felt and appreciated. The principles of Mr. Jefferson, to which allusion has been made, were : 4 Equal and exact justice to all men, of whatever sect or persuasion, religious or political. The support of the State Governments in all their rights, as the most competent administration for our domestic concerns, and the surest bulwarks against anti-re publican tendencies.

The Abolition party has no adminis trative abilities. It knows nothing and can learn nothing. It is in the last throes of a violent dissolution. It was born in fraud, baptized in blood, and will die in infamy. All the conservative feeling of the country—all the instinct of the Anglo- Saxon race—all the interests of agricul ture, commerce and manufactures—all the glorious traditions of the past history of our country, are against that sectional po litical organization. In its favor, to be sure, are corrupt and unprincipled politi- clans, who would sell the liberties of their country for place and power ; soulless con tractors and heartless swindlers who bow down at the shrine of the almighty green back ; the base and malignant passion that can only be satiated by the shedding of more blood in this great carnival of death ; the insolent tyranny that would assimilate conflicting opinions by the bloody agency of the sword, and the still more oious tyranny of the Pulpit, that would crush out the last remnant of civil liberty by the es tablishment of a sanguinary theocracy which would rather the white race should perish from the land than that liberty and equality, in the name of God and for the advancement of His glory,' should be denied the American citizen of African descent.' The Abolition party cannot restore the old Union if it would, and would not if it could. It is impotent for good, and only powerful for evil. This is apparent from its whole history, and was fully exemplified by Thaddeus Stevens, the acknowledged administration leader in the last Congress, in boldly avowing himself as being unal terably opposed to any reconstruction of the Union as it was, with the Constitution as it is,'and this treasonab a declaration was substantially repeated by him at a Repub lican meeting in the city of Lancaster on Saturday last, by General Baler at a re cent meeting in New York, and has been sanctioned by all the Abolition newspapers north of Mason and Dixon's line. The party in power, therefore, have neither the ability nor inclination, judging from their speeches and acts, to restore the Union of our fathers, or preserve Ameri: can liberty. Its principles are not those which lie at the base of the Constitution —not those which are founded on right and justice—bat are only such dogmas as are incompatible with the mild and diffused governments of the several States, which of the country; and, as Copper heads, they will sting the Abolition party of the present day, to death, and, at the first fitting opportunity, send Abraham Lincoln adrift, and place the helm of State in the hands of an experienced Democratic) pilot. When that day comes, as come it surely will in the roll of time, we shall again have peace and unity in the laud, and the star-spangled banner of the Re public shall wave in triumph from the At lantic to the Pacific, and from the Aroos took to the Rio Grande, God speed the day when we shall again be one people, with one Government, one Constitution, one destiny. It would seem to be a part of the recog nized policy of the present National Ad ministration and its supporters to oontrol by physical or military force the senti ments of the people. This is precisely what Tyranny and its minions have at tempted in all ages of the world. Obedi ence to the Constitution, and laws enacted in conformity with the teachings of that sa cred instrument, is what. every Adminis tration has a right to expect and require from every citizen ; but conformity in opin ion no Goiernment but an unmitigated despotism ever has, or ever will attempt to enforce. It was this attempt which Lord Montague, a Peer of England, denounced as far back in history as in the reign-of Queen Elizabeth. A statute was proposed to force the subjects of the realm to re ceive and believe the religion of the Pro testants on pain of death. This,' said he, is a thing most unjust, for that it is repugnant to the rational liberty of men's understanding—for understanding may be persuaded, not enforced.' Freedom of opinion is a right guaranteed to every man by God himself, and is inalienable. It is recognized by the Constitution of the United States and in our State Constitu tions, and is embraced in the same clause which guarantees freedom of speech and of the press—rights inestimable to the peo ple and formidable to tyrants only.' The attempt to violate these rights may, for a brief period-of time, meet with apparent success ; but, unless all history is a lie, a a people who owe their nationality to a revolution fought in vindication of the nat ral and inalienable rights of man, will not, after a long career of prosperity and power, basely yield their blood-bought I heritage—the source of all their blessings under Providence--without a struggle that will annihilate their oppressors and amaze the civilized world. I am no apologist for the unnatural re hellion which now exists in our country much less do I feel inclined to justify the secession of the Southern States. On the contrary, my conviction all along has been that they committed a grievous wrong, not only to the whole country and to them selves, but also to the Democratic party of the North, who had always stood by them in every emergency and earnestly advoca ted their rights under the Constitution.— They might have remained in the Union, and sought a redress of grievances in a constitutional way. By the act of seces sion and the withdrawal of their delega tions, they left Congress in the hands of the Abolition faction, and at full liberty to say and do as they pleased. Whereas, if they had remained in the Union, and their delegations kept their seats in Congress, the Democracy would have been in the as cendant in both branches of the National Legislature, and Mr. Lincoln would have wielded a barren sceptre and been power less for evil during his entire term. • It now remains for me to say something in reference to the duty of the Democratic party at: this terrible crisis in the history of our nation. One of the fundamental principles of the party is, and always has been, the doctrine of State Rights, as laid down in the Kentucky and Virginia reso lutions of 1798 and 1799—the rights re served to themselves at the framing of the Constitution. This was clearly and line , quivocally enunciated by the statesmen of that period, and in the speeches and writ , ings of James Madison, Alexander Hamil ton, John Jay, and others of their contem poraries. Mr. Hamilton, (and he should be good authority with modern Republi , cans !) in one of his most powerful efforts lin the Convention of New York, called for the ratification of the Federal Constitu tion, said : The States can never lose their powers till the whole people of Amer ica are robbed of their liberties. These must go together. They mast support leach other, or meet a common fate. I wish the committee to remember that the Constitution under examination is framed upon truly Republican [Democratic] prin ciples, and that, as it is expressly designed for a common protection and the general welfare of the United States, it mast be utterly repugnant to this Constitution to subvert the State Governments or oppress the people. The coercion of States is one of the maddest projects that was ever de vised. A failure of compliance will never be confined to a single State. This being the ease, can we suppose it wise to hazard a civil war ? It would be a nation at war with Itself. Can any reasonable man be well disposed towards a government that makes war and carnage the only means of supporting itself—a government that can exist only by the sword Every such war must involve the innocent with the guilty. This single consideration should not bo inefficient to dispose every peacea ble citizen against inch a government.'— How well Mr. Hamilton predicted the con sequences resulting from the aggressions of the Federal Government upon State rights. I might also quote from the letters of Messrs. Madison and Jay, published in the Federalist at the time the Constitution was Wabeyance, and from the subsequent writ ings of Mr. Jefferson, all going to establish I the same point, but I have not the time, nor do I conceive it to be necessary before this intelligent audience. The quotation from the speech of Alexander Hamilton, I the putative father of ancient Federalism, which is now merged in Abolitionism, is sufficient for my purpose. Suffice it to say, I I that this very question was the stumbling, Iblock with many of the States, and induc ed a hesitation on their part about enter ing the Union ; and it was only after the able arguments adduced and lucid exposi tions given of the reserved rights of the States, and their partial independence of the General Government, by those emi nent constitutional lawyers and statesmen, that the Union was formed at all. And it must be clear to every thinking, unpre judiced mind, that it never , would have been formed had the consolidation dogmas of the , present day . prevailed at that time. From the organization of the /*mem meat, I repeat, the doctrine of BWe-tight's -111KIHANAN. has been the cherished faith of the Des- ocratio party. It has adhered to it in sun shine and in storm, in peace and in war, in prosperity and adversity, and will ever continue to cling to it as the sure defence of the rights of the people against the en croachments of centralized power and des potism. While it is willing to concede to he General Government absolute and en- preme power in all that is expressly dele gated to it by the Constitution, it claims, and this claim cannot be successfully con troverted, that the powers not expressly granted to the Federal head, remain with the States and the people. In this respect he difference and distinction between State and Federal power is clear and ex plicit. Each moves in its own orbit, like each planet in the solar system, and exer cises supreme authority in its own partie ular sphere. The one should not be per mitted to encroach upon the other, and the authority and sovereignty of both should be scrupulously maintained ; and this, if I can read the signs of the times aright, is what the Democratic party intend they shall do. One of the particular du ties of the General Government is to reg- ulate our trade and intercourse with for- eign nations, but it is to the State Gov- ernments we must mainly look for the pro tection of life, liberty and property.— When the power of the latter is destroyed we have no security for anything, but be come at once the slaves of a consolidated and galling despotism. For State rights, then, the Democratic party contend. For this great principle they always did battle in the past—are doing it now—and, I trust, will continue to do it for all time to come. Democrats are willing to spend their money and shed their blood in defence of the Constitution and the Union as they were handed down to us by the pure-minded statesmen of ()th eir and better days, and are alike opposed to the secession traitors of the South, and the Abolition traitors in the North ; but they want the war, if it must go on and bring yet greater desolation upon the country, conducted on proper principles, and in the spirit of Mr. Crittenden's reso lution, unanimously passed by Congress in July, 1861, immediately after the first disastrous defeat of our army at Ball Run. That resolution is in the following words : Resolved, by the House of Represen tatives of the Congress of the United States, That in this national emergency, Congress, banishing all feelings of mere passion or resentment, will recollect only its duty to the whole country; that .this war is not waged, upon our part, in any spirit of oppression, nor for any purpose of conquest or subjugation, nor purpose of overthrowing or interfering with the rights or established institutions of those States ; but to defend and maintain the supremacy of the Constitution, and to preserve the Union, with all the equality and rights of the several States unimpaired ; and that as soon as these objects are accomplished, the war ought to cease.' The leaders of the Republican party proclaim their determination to make this a war of extermination. Not only so, but recent occurrences would seem to_ indicate that it is a war to be waged after the man ner of the Goths and Vandals, in their in vasion of Italy. The New York Tr,bune correspondent, writing from Jacksonville, Florida, says : Yesterday, the beautiful little cottage used as the Catholic parsonage, together with the church, was fired by,, some of our soldiers, and in a short time burned to the ground. Before the flames had fairly reached the church, the soldiers burst op en the doors and commenced sacking it of everything of value. The organ was in a moment torn to strips, and almost every soldier who name out seemed to be cele brating the occasion by blowing through an organ pipe.' Is it possible that we have come to this? that the temples of the living God are not to be spared from the vandal ravages of this bitter, vindictive and unrelenting war? And yet this is a war waged by a pro fessing Christian people against brethren of the same lineage and worshipping at the same altar, in the light of the civiliza tion of the nineteenth century ! I forbear farther comment, as the deed_is too atro cious to contemplate. Let Abraham Lincoln retrace his steps withdraw his Emanoipatian Proclamation, cease arresting peaceable citizens contrary to law, restore the sacred writ of habeas corpus, and not attempt any longer to in terfere with the liberty of speech or of the press—let him again make it a war for the' restoration of the Union alone, as pro claimed by the Congress of the United States, and the Democracy to a man will sustain him, and carry the stars and stripes into every one of the thirty-four States.— We want no divided country—no North, no South, no East, no West—nor will we willingly consent to any permanent disrup tion of this great sisterhood of sovereign States. The flag of the Republic must be sustained and the integrity of the Union vindicated at all hazards, consistent with honor, but this can only be accomplished in the way pointed out by the Constitution. When its landmarks have been departed from, as they have been by this Adminis tration, there is no hope for the country' unless it speedily retraces its steps ; nor will the Democratic party be held respon sible by the future historian, in whole or in part, for the sad fate which inevitably awaits the nation from a persistence in such a suicidal policy. The Democracy have always fought the battles of the na tion. The fought for the country in the war of 1812, when their political oppo nents were plotting treason in New Eng land, and burning blue lights to guide the enemy's ships safely into 'port. They fought our battles successfully in the Mex ican war, when their political opponents in Congress were refusing to vote supplies to our brave soldiers, and encouraging the enemy to " welcome them with bloody hands to hospitable graves." And they are fighting the battles of the country in the present gigantic war, and have cheer fully endured the hardships and perils of the campaign, so that they might be in strumental in bringing back the recusant States to their allegiance, and restoring the old Union as it was with all the guar antees of the Constitution intaot and in violate. And more than all this, while our Democratic brethren are in the field 'and in the Damp confronting the enemies of the Union in the South, we who remain at home intend to take care that the Re public) shall suffer no detriment at the hands•of the Abolition disnnionists of the North. We have 11 high and holy duty to perform for ourselves anti our posterity-- a duty which we cannot shirk if we would, for the issue has been forced upon us by the Abolitionists themselves—and he is un worthy the name or the privileges of a freeman who will cower before the minions of despotism in this the trying hour for Constitutional liberty. I know not what others may do in this time of sore trial, or what they may be willing to suffer for truth and the right; but as for me, al though my time of life has fallen into the Bear and yellow leaf, I will remark, in the vigorous and expressive language of the greatest of revolutionary orators, Patrick Henry, give me liberty, or give me death. This is no time for mincing matters with our political enemies, who are, at the same time, the enemies of the country. The peo ple, have an earnest, longing desire to be enlightened on the great and fundamental principles of civil liberty. The truth, which has been suppressed for a season by the iron heel of despotism, must be brought out, re-invigorated and disenthralled—for, in the language of the Poet, " Truth crushed to earth will rise again, The eternal years of God are her's— But error, wounded, writhes in pain, And dies amid her worshippers." Buckle on your armor, then, fellow-cit izens, and in the eloquent and patriotic language of Daniel Webster, be determin ed to ' cling to the Constitution as the ship-wrecked mariner clings to the last plank when night and the tempest close around him, and let your watchword be one Union, one Constitution, one destiny. Mining Under the Sea. Mining can hardly be a pleasant occu pation. 'The absence of sun and all natu ral light, the dripping sides of the shaft, the danger of explosion from the fire damp, of the fall of jetting rooks, and numerous other perils, invest it with vague terrors to active imaginations. But when the shafts run under the sea, and the swell of the ocean is distinctly audible, it _must sug gest many fears to the diligent miners.— The following graphic description is taken from au English paper We are now four hundred yards out un der the bottom of the sea, and twenty feet below the sea level. Coast trade vessels are sailing over our heads. Two hundred - and forty feet below us men are at work, and there are galleries yet below that.— The extraordinary position, down the face of the cliff, of the engines, and other works on the surface, at Bottallie, is now ex plained. The mine isnot excavated like other mines under the earth, but under the sea. Having communicated these partic ulars, the miner tells us to keep strict si lence and listen. We obey -him, sitting speechless and motionless. if the reader could only have beheld us now, dress ed in our copper-colored garments, hud dled close together in a mere cleft of sub terranean rook, with a flame burning on our heads, and darkness enveloping our limbs, he must certainly have imagined, without any violent strength of fancy, that he was looking down upon a conclave of gnomes. Atter listening a few minutes, a distant and unearthly sound becomes faintly andi ble—a long, low, mysterious moaning that never changes, that is, fed on the ear as heard by it—a sound that might proceed from some incalculable distance—from some far invisible height—a sound unlike anything that is heard on the upper ground, in the tree air of heaven—a sound so sub limely mournful and still, so ghostly and impressive when listened to in subterranean recesses of idle earth, that we continue in stinctively to hold our peace, as if enchant ed by it, and think not of communicating to each other the strange awe and aston ishment which it has inspired in us from the very first. At last the miner speaks again and tells us that what we hear is the sound of the surf lashing the rocks a hundred and twenty feet above us, and of the waves that are breaking on the beach beyon a.— The tide is now at the flow, and the sea is in no extraordinary state of agitation, so the the sound is low and distant just at this period. But when the storms are at their height,when the ocean hurls mountain after mountain of water on the cliffs, then the noise is terrific ; the roaring heard down here in the mine is so inexpressibly fierce and awful, that the men at work are afraid to continue their labor—all ascend to the surface to breathe the upper air and stand on firm earth ; 'dreading—though no cat astrophe has ever happened yet—that the sea will break in on them if they remain in the cavern below Hearing this, we got ni to look at the rook above us. We aro able to stand up rigut in the position we now occupy ; and, flaring our candles hither and thither in the darkness, can see the bright, pure cop per stream,ng through the gallery in every direction. Lumps of •ooze of the most green color, traversed by a natural net work of thin, red veins of , iron, appear here and there, in large, irregular patches, over which water is dripping slowly and incessantly, in certain places. This is the salt water percolating though invisi ble crannies in the rook. On stormy days it spurts out furiously in thin, (mutinous streams. Just over our heads we observe a wooden plug, of the thickness of a man's leg; there is a hole there, and that plug is all we have to keep the sea ont!
