STATE EDITORIAL CONVENTION.
In accordance with a resolution passed at the Editorial
Convention, held In the Penate Chamber, at Harrisburg,
on the 18th inst., the Democratic Editor. of Pennsylvania
are requested to meet in the City of Lancaster, on
THURSDAY, Tun 18xii or JULY, 1863,
at 11 o'clock, A. M., for the purpose of consultation and
united action in the political campaign upon which we
have entered. A general attendance is earnestly desired,
as basil:teas of great impOrtance to the profession will come
before the Convention.
GEO. SANDERSON, President
Leressven, June 23, 1863.
lir Editors throughout the State are requested to copy
jw- The Editorial Convention will
assemble at the Democratic Club
Room, south-west corner of Centre
Square, in this city, on Thursday
next, at 11 o'clock, A. M.
Postponement
In consequence of the disturbed
condition of the public mind growin
out of the recent invasion of the
State, together with the draft now
goingon, and the lateness of the har
vest, it is thought best to postpone
the Democratic County Mass Meet
ing (which was . to have been held on
the 25th inst.,) for a few weeks.—
The , time will be designated here
after.
The Battles at Gettysburg
We publish iu another column a
condensed account of the series of
great battles before Gettysburg, com
mencing with the opening fight on
Wednesday the Ist inst., and termi
nating on Friday evening with the
repulse of the enemy. These were
unquestionably the greatest conflicts
of the war, and it is gratifying to
know that the, ablest General of the
rebel army was met and successfully
resisted by the Army of the Potomac
Under its new and gallant comman
der, General MEADE.
From Maryland.
At the last accounts LEE'S army
was in line of battle between Hagers
_Dwn and the Potomac, and MEADE'S
army was pressing him closely in
front. A great battle was imminent,
and may have already taken place,
but we had no intelligence of it at
the time we went to press, on yester
day afternoon.
THE CAPTURE OF VICKSBURG
This event, which has been so long wished
for and about which there have been so many
disappointments, has at length become a fixed
fact, having occurred on the 4th inst., and in
proportion to the long desired realization, has
been the occasion of much rejoicing through
ciut the loyal States. It is an important point
gained, and if followed by the capture of Port
Hudson, which is now more than likely, will
be a severe blow to the rebellion which it vir
tually outs in two. The opening of the Mis
sisippi will be a great relief to the Northwest
ern States which have had, in addition to the
losses occasioned by the war, to suffer great
inconvenience and detriment from their ina
bility to transport their vast products to the
seaboard. The customary trade with New
Orleans-will now be resumed by those States,
and, excepting occasional interruptions from
guerillas on the west bank of the river, will
be of great advantage to them. Still it will
be necessary to have the captured fortresses
well garisoned and to keep an efficient naval
force on the river to protect the boats navi
gating it. The lapse of a week or two will
more clearly develop the extent of the advan
tages gained by this victory, and may show
how far it will tend toward the ultimate
subjugation of the rebellion. Meanwhile, let
us be happy that it is a step in advance
towards that most desired end.
SENATORIAL NOMINATION
Cola WILLIAM HOPKINS, of Washington
county, we are gratified to learn, has been
nominated by the Democracy of Washington
and Green counties, for State Senator. This
is a good nomination, as Col. HOPKINS is one
of the ablest Legislators and purest patriots
in Pennsylvania. He will be elected by about
3,000 majority, and will take the place of the
late Republican, Mr. Speaker Lawrence.
RETALIATION
It is stated that the rebel authorities at
Richmond have ordered two Federal officers to
shot, as an act of retaliation for the shooting
of the two rebel captains, by order of General
Burnside, at Sandusky, Ohio, in May last.—
Captain Henry Washington Sawyer, of the
First New Jersey Cavalry, and Captain John
Flinn, of the Fifty-first Indiana Volunteers,
have been selected by lot, and are to be the
victims.
If our Government should order a continu—
ance of this kind of retaliation, there is no
Idling where it may end. A very large num—
ber of rebel prisoners are nowiin the hands of
the Federal authorities.
Tun COAL PANIC AND SWINDLE.
Every time the rebels make a " raid " into
Pennsylvania, coal goes up higher, but it does
not come down again with the same rapidity
after the State is free from the invaders. The
Rochester, N. Y. Union has a sensible and
well-timed article upon the coal panic, which
is just to the point, and will be indorsed by all
coal consumers who are subjected to the mu
nopoly of a single company of dealers. It
says that " the coal monopolists are just now
taking advantage of the rebel invasion of
Pennsylvania to create the false impression
that the supply of coal is to be out off or de
creased, and thus prepare the public for the
imposition of higher prices. There is not a
particle of truth in their representations or
justification for their proceedings, which in
some instances we are informed go so far as to
refuse to deliver coal at all to purchasers at
present! The fact is, the coal regions of
Pennsylvania are a hundred miles north of the
farthest point reached or intended to be reach
ed by the rebels. Lee can have no possible
object in visiting them, and all accounts of the
colleries being closed and the colliers enlisted
for the military service, are base coinages of
the' patriotic," unselfish,' and disinterested'
coal monopolists. It will be time enough to
tell the people that the coal diggers of Penn-.
Sylvania have come out of the bowels of the
earth and shouldered the musket, after evi
dence is furnished that those whose firesides
have been overrun, set the example. Further
than this, the coal transported over the Lehigh
Valley Railroad for the week ending on the
27th ult., amounted to twenty-seven thousand
nine hundred and sixty-five tons. The entire
quantity carried over this road during the
present year, has been six hundred and sev
enty-four thousand six hundred and seven
tons, which is two hundred and nicety-two
thousand six hundred and eighty tons in ex
cess of the tonnage of last year, up to this
date. On the Lehigh Canal, last week, twen
ty-five thousand two hundred and twenty
nine tons were carried to market. On all the
great lines there has been an increased ton
nage. Yet the dealers get up a panic to
raise the price I The whole thing is a swindle
on the public."
A “LOYAL LEAGUE ~ ANALYZED
The Philadelphia Evening Journal pub
lishes a list of the members of the Republican
League in that city, giving their names in
full, with their residences and occupations.—
The list comprises 533 names, and the ana
lysis does not show the patriotism of the
Leaguers to be of the most disinterested or
genuine character. More than one-third of
the whole number are contractors, and they
outnumber any other single occupation repre
sented in the League over three to one.—
There are also a goodly supply of office hold
ers. We copy the Journal's recapitulation,
by which it will be Been that the League's
contributions to the army or to the defence of
Harrisburg have not been as numerous as
might have been expected from their bellicose
talk :

Among the names of the League are the
four Abolition Republican Congressmen from
Philadelphia. These, the Journal says, are'',
all at home, while RANDALL, the " Copper
head " member, has left to aid in the defence
of Harrisburg. No doubt the above analysis
is a fair sample of the material composing
these Leagues in other places, and we think
that it would be well for them to cee se boast
ing of their great patriotism and to clamor so
loudly for war, until they give some evidence
that they are willing to share equally in the
risks and dangers of warfare.
The Most Rev. Francis Patrick Kenrick, •
Archbishop of the Catholic See of Baltimore,
died suddenly at his residence adjoining the
Cathedral in that city, during the night of
Tuesday last. He retired to 'Tat in good
health at hie usual hour, and was to have offi
ciated, as costomary, at early Mass. The sex_
ton finding that he had not risen, and believ- !
ing him to be still sleeping, proceeded to the
door to awaken him. On knocking at the
door, not meeting with any response, he im
agined that the Archbishop had been taken I
ill, and upon consultation decided to break
the lock of his room and enter. This was ac
cordingly done, when the Archbishop was
found dead in his bed, with his arms placidly
folded across his breast. So passed away a
good man. It is not for us to recount his
virtues. The meekness with which he bore
the high honors imposed upon him ; his many
and unostentatious Christian charities—his
easiness of access, his spotless character, and
his unwearied devotion to the Church of which
he was so long a prominent ornament—these
and all other nobler qqalities by which he
adorned his station, we leave to be dilated
upon by those who knew him best, and who
are therefore the best able to render a fitting
tribute to his memory.'
THE REBEL ALLIES
The Richmond Enquirer, gives the follow
ing opinion of the Democratic party :
That the Democratic party was our worst
enemy, and but for its poisonous embrace
these States would have been free and clear
of the unnatural Union twenty years ago.—
It is not the &wards, and Sumners, the Black
Republicans and Abolitionists, who have hurt
us. They were right all along ; there was an
irrepressible conflict:between two different civ
ilizations, two opposite social organizations ;
they were no more able to live peaceably to
gether in one government than two hands can
wear one glove."
Read and ponder, ye Abolition conspira
tors, who were " all along right " with the
rebels. See where your praise comes from.
Acknowledge the compliment paid by your
disunion allies in the South, and let us hear
no more of your hypocritical ravings about
" Copperheads." The Democratic party, the
rebels say, was their worst enemy. Its em
brace was poisonous, because it prevented
them from getting out of the Union twenty
years ago. The Abolitionists end Black Re
, publicans did not hurt them, they were right
all along, for they taught. the " irrepresible
conflict" doctrine, in other words, the disu
nion doctrine. They have been playing into
the hands of the rebels, and it will require the
best efforts of the Democratic party. which is
hated alike by these co-conspirators to defeat
their hellish machinations.
Hox. C. L. VALLLNDIGHAM.—The steamer

Bermuda, arrived at Halifax on Sunday week
last, with Mr. Vallandigham and several other

WHAT THE Amyx:yr - warnTs BAY.
The Anti-Slavery Society held a celebra
tion on the Fourth, at Farmington, Massa
chusetts, in which the usual violent and
denunciatorylanguage towards the Govern
ment was used. Mr. Garrison, who'presided,
declared himself opposed to Conway's propo
sal to Mason, to agree to a separation of the
Union, if the South will abolish slavery. Gar
rison will not trust the South, and he said he
was for the Government against slavery. The
great speech was from Wendell Phillips, and
he is reported to have said :
"Mr. Lincoln, deluded by his own ambition,
and misled by artful counsellors, had made
the Government at Washington, a national
committee to manage the next Presidency, and
to carry on the war subordinate to the chances
of a certain party to the Presidency. Mr.
Postmaster Blair had approached Mr. Senator
Wilson, weeks ago, and asked if it was not
time to put Mr. Lincoln in nomination. He de
nounced Mr. F.lair's speech, recently made at
Concord, which•he called Lincoln's bid for the
Presidency. He said Blair was the boldest
liar on the continent, Washington was the
greatest obstacle to the success of the Union ;
and the drunkenness of Hooker was nothing
compared with Lincoln." .
These sentiments received the enthusiastic
approbation of the assembly. S. S. Foster
then made a speech in opposition to the war.
He is represented to have said ;
" He had no choice between the Governments
of Jeff. Davis and Abraham Lincoln ; they
were both fighting for slavery. He had dis
couraged enlistments, and should do so. He
hoped Gen. Lee would succeed in Pennsylvania
and take New York and Boston,and the North
be brought to starvation, until universal eman
cipation was proclaimecl. War is of the devil,
and if followed up will lead to hell."
Foster's utterances were received with fa
vor. Vtillandigham could not have uttered
anything more treasonable.—Philada. Ledger.
We think Mr. Vallandigham could not
easily beat this, and we repel the Ledger's in
sinuation that he has ever uttered anything
treasonable. Mr. Vallandigham, the chosen
Representative of the Democratic party of the
great State of Ohio—of a majority of the citi
zens of that State—is a high-minded, honora
ble gentleman, and as true a friend of his
country as there is in all the land. His offence
has been his manly protest againsteShe usur
pation, the violations of law, and the outrages
upon public liberty committed by officials
with whom the salvation of the country, on
the basis of the Constitution, is a theme of
ridicule and contempt, and whose practices
' tend to the destruction of all that Americans
hold dear—all that is worth living for. This
the Ledger knows, while it couples Mr. Val
landigham's name with those of men who
boast that they have labored twenty or thirty
years to destroy the American Union, and
who have acted on the belief that " the Con
stitution of the United States is a League
with Death and a Covenant with Hell !"
As to the above quoted utterances of Phil
lips and Foster, they are no worse than the
Abolitionists have been in the habit of venting
ever since the war began—in fact, ever since
they have been spouting on the negro ques
tion. Had such things been uttered only a
single time by Democrats, the offenders would
have been imprisoned or banished. General
Schenck banishes women for smiling on con
federate prisoners, He imprisoned Mr. Boil
eau and suppressed this paper for maintain
ing that Jeff. Davis' messages evinced more
ability than the messages of Lincoln ; but this
Foster can openly declare, with perfect im
punity, that he " had discouraged enlistments
and intended to continue to do so ! " that he
" has no choice between the governments of
Jeff. Davis and Abraham Lincoln," and that
he " hopes General Lee will succeed in Penn
sylvania, and take New York and Boston, and
the North be brought to starvation."
The truth is, Mr. Lincoln dare not arrest
such miscreants as Phillips, Foster and Garri
son. Although these men complain of him so
bitterly, yet they, either directly or indirectly,
have controlled his Administration and com
pelled him (if he required compelling), to
issue his Abolition proclamation and arm ne•
groes to uphold the honor of the American
flag ! They have achieved much, but with
their : natural impatience, they aro sore be
, cause they cannot do everything at once.—
They ought to take comfort from Fred. Dung
lass' declaration that " the Government " will
yet finish the black business of totally eman
cipating the negroes, making them citizens,
etc. They will continue to abuse Mr. Lin
coln until they secure all they desire. They
have no fears of arrest—they can say what
they please, and Mr. Lincoln will at length
declare the negroes free and full citizens of all
the -States. In the meantime, Democrats and
other friends of the Constitution and the Union
will be imprisoned for criticizing his policy.
To be safe in these days a man should either
be a nigger or a nigger's friend, at the ex
pense of the white man !—Evening Journal.
HOW TO SECURE PEACE
On the subject of securing an ho norable
peace, the New York Journal of Commerce,
of Friday last, contains the following
" It is by no means certain that the presen
is a propitious moment for entertaining defi
nite plans of peace. If our policy had been
such as to raise a Union party in the South,
to foment differences of opinion there, we have
no doubt that this moment we should hear a
loud call for peace from within the revolted
States. The same individual sufferings and
pains which we have spoken of as operatigg
here, are felt there with equal intensity. We
know that in various parts of the South ;are
mutterings of discontent, prophecies of fail
ure, and secret longings for peace and union.
We know that in Georgia it is not uncommon
in private circles to hear the Southern Confed
eracy spoken of as a very dubious affair, and
the return of Georgia to the Union as a possi
bility in the future. We hear similar reports
from North Carolina, and we have reason to
believe that in other portions of the Southern
States there are more or less of the people
who entertain grave thoughts of the terrible
error into which they have been plunged by
their political leaders. It is probable that the
present state of affairs will increase the bold
ness and strengthen the influence of these per
sons. Still, as heretofore, it is plain to us
beyond dispute that a policy should be adopt
' ed which is calculated to increase the number
of such persons, and to hold open to all the
people of the South the manifest advantages
of union and peace over disunion and war.—
There are sensible people in the Southern
States. They are not all gone mad. The
Government of the United States has in its
hands a tremendous power over these persons,
and by using and aiding them, a vast power
over the unity of the Southern States and
people. A wise course on the part of the
Government now, might be productive of the
most glorious consequences.
If such a course could be adopted as would
restore union and peace, is it not the duty of
the. Administration to pursue it? Can any
man, except one who has become insane on a
one idea plan, hesitate as to the propriety, the
wisdom, the duty in such a case ?
" The radical men are surely crazed who
propose to change the object of the war and
prosecute it until their ends are accomplished.
They may not like the old Union, but they
will never effect a new Union. It cannot be
done their way. They have no tight to attempt
it. The living army of American soldiers are
not fighting for it. - It is treason to the dead
who lie on so many hard-fought fields to at
tempt it.
" The instant that there is an opening for
peace and union, that instant must be seized,
and the opening enlarged. Until it comes the
soldiers are ready for battle, the people are
ready with sacrifices as heretofore. But those
soldiers must not be wasted. Those sacrifices
are sacred, and must not be profaned."
THE BATTLE FIELD.
Hundreds of our citizens, says the York
Press, visited the battle field, at Gettysburg,
during the past week, to witness the de
struction and desolation committed by the
missiles of death. No tongue can tell the
miseries and sufferings experienced by the
thousands of our brave troops lying wounded
on the field of battle, many_of whom were in
the last agonies oecleath. Visitors all give
the most doleful accounts of the scene, and
we have heard many of them declare that
they never wish to witness the like again.—
The slaughter was fearful to behold. The
cries and moanings of the dying and wounded
were indeed most heartrending, and - caused
many a stout and brave heart to drop a tear
and reflect upon the miseries this cruel war has
brought upon us. When will the end ; to this
horrible carnage come ? May the Lord in his
infinite wisdom have mercy on W.

co, bearing dispatches from the Emperor to
Gen. Furey, in which he was ordered, that
when he entered Mexico city, he should issue
a proclamation announcing Napoleon's' nten

news is contained in La France, of Paris, the
special organ of the Empress Eugenie and the
high church party of France.
We have also some details of the alleged
plan-of Lord Palmerston to propose a refer ,
ence of the American question to the arbitra

TIMANCULL PZIIII.B OF THE PIITIIRE
The - financial position of the Federal Gov
ernment at this moment is such that every
man's fortune and daily business depends
upon, the will of Mr. Chase during the next
thirty days. On his nod depends the value of
goods itLevery males shop,': the price of daily
food, and the amount of wages a man may re
ceive for his daily labor. The The"whole course of
business hangs upon the decision of the Sec
retary: The head of the State Department,
with solemn
,pride, informed the Minister of
the British Crown, that he could touch the
bell within the reach of his right band, and a
yawning dungeon would receive a victim from
New York. He could repeat the touch and a
citizen of Ohio would fall into the black cave,
whence no human power could rescue him but
Mr,,Lincoln. The Secretary of State had ab
solute control over the person. The head of
the Treasury Department is equally omnipo•
tent over property. He may touch the bell
which directs the steam power of the Govern
ment printer's office, and - the stream Of paper
money will flow through every channel of
circulation ; raising prices, stimulating 2
n go-,
illation, oonfering wealth on the feikttiA' •"--
gary on the many. He may againlisttok &
. b
bell, and the stream of paper wealth = 4-1114 di-y
-ap, speculation will perish, prices fall; interest
rise, property lose its value, fortunes topple
down, and the tax gatherer thrust his callous
hand into every impoverished purse in the
country, until Government exaction shall ab
sorb the whole revenue of society. The choice
between these courses has now to be made by
the Secretary, and no man knows what the
future may bring forth.
The original resources of the country were
very great, but they have been wasted by the
most reckless improvidence. The lessons of
the past and the experience of mankind should
have taught any statesman when this war
broke out, that there was but one plan by
which the Government could be sustained and
the nation preserved, and that was by the only
constitutional mode of raising money, viz: to
create stocks on which to borrow the necessary
sums, levying at the same time a tax which
should be utterly extinguished. The people
were at that time offering up their whole for
tunes and lives to the Government, and then
required nothing but for Congress to indicate
the tax to be paid, and it would have been,
cheerfully. A loan so based would have coin
mended not only the whole capital of the
country, but of every country of Europe, bad
it been necessary. Mr. Chase rejected the
plan on the ground that it would not be
•• popular, for the party." He thought that
he could cheat the people out of their capital
by means of paper issues—that he could skin
them without their knowing it. The system
has been pursued until all property in the
country has been undermined and stands
trembling upon a false basis. Capital has
been used op in the double process of wasteful
consumption and diminished production, while
discredit reached an alarming extent, and the
scared Secretary pauses in his dangerous 1
course. The tardy tax la*, estimated on the
wealth of the country before the war, ie now
found to be " alarmingly deficient," because
the incomes, the property, the business to be
taxed have been dilapidated by the action of
paper money. The Secretary having issued
half the amount authorized pauses, appeals
franticly to the public to fund the notes in a
five year's stock, and employs a host of agents,
to whom he has paid three hundred thousand
dollars commissions, to coax and wheedle the
public into converting the paper. By these
means an amount was obtained equal to about
one third of his expenditures during the pro
cess of procuring it. The effect was to dig
turb the whole money market. and
,raise the
rate of interest from 3a4 to 7e7i per cent.
Capitalists are now alarmed, a further
movement in the same direction will be ruin
ous to existing values, a recourse to the re
mainir3g issues of paper authorized will palli
ate the evil for the moment, but aggravate it
fearfully for the future. Let us look at the
paper money authorized:
Ist Act of 1862, $l5O 000 000
2d Act of 1862, 150,000,000
Act of January 1863, 100,000 000
Fractional currency, 50 000,000
Act Feb. 2R, 1863, 50 000,000
Act March 3, 1863, 150 . 000,000
Act March, int. bearing $lO 250,000,000
New Bank Currency,
Of the nine hundred millions authorized,
one half are issued, and the paper sells at
sixty-eight cents on the dollar, with semi
official assurances that it will not be allowed
to go below sixty-six and one third cents per
dollar. Will the remainder of that paper be
issued? or will the Secretary persist in offer
ing portions of the $1,000,000,000 of six per
cent stooks he is authorized to sell at any price
privately, when a sale of $70,000,000 in the
last sixty days has wrought such a disturbance
in the market ?
The amount of Government stocks that fall
due and are to be paid within eighteen months
are as follows :
Interest. Amount. Due.
2.year stock, 0 $ 2,613 550 July 1. 186:3. ,
3 year bonds, 730 53.00 2,300 Aug. 19, 1864.
3-year bonds, 7.30 86 905,700 October 2, 1804.
1-year bonds, 6 180.800 000 Year from dote,
30 days, 4 41.011.930 10 days after 30
30 dap!, 5 63 887 070 10 days after 3.1
Gold, 4 9 175,000 10 days after 30
Texan bonds, 5 3460,000 January, 1805.
$ 35,747 550
This large amount is to be paid—nearly the
whole of it—within fifteen months, and more
than one-fourth is due on demand. If the rate
of interest rises very high, as it is likely to do
under the present action of the Secretary, the
whole amount will be demanded in addition
to the vast expenditure, over $1,000,000,000,
appropriated for the year commencing July 1,
next. The possibility to float the debt de
pends upon the rate of interest. :Will the rate
be raised by borrowing on the one thousand
millions? In other words, will the Secretary,

ABOLITION QUALIFICATIONS FOR BAPTISM.-
The following anecdote, we suppose, may
be depended upon as relating anti-slavery
facts, as we find it in the Worcester Spy :
"On Sunday last, as Rev. Mr. Jones, of
Canaan, N. H., was about to baptise several
candidates for admission to his church he found
that:one candidate had not been so thorough.
ly converted as to believe slavery to be a sin.
The elder asked him, as he stepped into the
water, if ho believed slavery to be a sin 2
" No,".he replied, "I think it to be a divine
institution." " Then," said the elder, you
can't be baptized here."
We read that the apostle Philip baptized
" a man of Ethiopia, a eunuch who bad great
authority under Candace queen of the Ethi
opians," and doubtless a slave. The Scrip.
tural narrative gives no account of an enqui
ry, on the part of the apostle, as to the civil
condition of the eunuch, or the customs of his
country. The sole condition of baptism was,
" If thou belierest with all thy heart thou may
est." Upon' receiving a satisfactory answer
upon this point, the solemn rite was adminis
tered—" And when they came up out of the
water, the Spirit of the: Lord caught away
Philip, that the eunuch saw him no more : and
he went on his way rejoicing." Can we im
agine that the same Spirit led Elder Jones ?

AMALGAMATION
WENDELL Pamirs, the leading apostle
canonized in the Anti-Slavery Bible, made a
speech on the 4th inst., at Farmingham, Mass.,
in which he proclaimed himself fully wedded
to the amalgamation of the races. He de
blared : " / have no hope for the future, as
this country has no past, but in that sublime
mingling of the races, which is God's own
method of civilizing and elevating the world."
Wendell is eminently " loyal." He has too
warm a side for Lincoln's " American citizens
of African descent," to allow any doubt on
that point. Wendell, too, is a great favorite
with " loyal" people everywhere, and s')
shall not be surprised to hear of his being in.

among all " loyal" people for the mingling of
affections with the "Sweet Scented Nigger."

STANTON AND HALLECK.
As represented in the New York Herald,
these gFntlemen stand before the American
people in a very unfavorablersspect.
The Secretary of War, Stanton, is repre
sented in the Herald to have said, speaking of
the capture of Vicksburg, that the "sneaking
traitors and copperheads of the North would
bi driven hissing to their holes," and Gen.
Halleck, in his speech, concurring in the re
marks of the remarkable Secretary of War,
asserts that Gen. Grant would proceed• from
victory to victory until the "rebellion has
been crashed out, and the copperheads, as his
friend, the Secretary, had said, 'were driven
hissing to their holes.'"
We may be permitted to inquire of these
high Government functionaries what they
mean by "tbe copperheads of the North" who
are to be driven "hissing to their holes?"
If they mean the Democratic party, as un
doubtedly they du, we beg to assure them
that there is not strength enough in the Ad
ministration, with all its bayonets and green
backs, to accomplish what they.saem to think
so_easy of accomplishment:
- The.Democratia party is or zed, in force
and blithe field, ready to mee throw back
every unconstitutional measure which the
Administration may unwisely undertake to
carry out ; and we can assure Messrs. Stan
ton and llalleck that they are mistaken in
their views, however the campaigns of Grant
and Banks and Meade may terminate.—Pa

THE MILITIA. GLORIOUSLY AT WORK
There is one matter in the account of the
great battle at Gettysburg, on Friday, says
the Patrio! & Union, which is deserving of
marked attention. This account says that
when the enemy massed his whole force for
an overwhelming attack on the right of Gen.
Meade's position, and had sucess almost with
in his grasp, a column of new troops appeared
on our side and determined the fate of the day.
These troops were the Pennsylvania Militia.
Even the New York Herald, which gives the
account, says that it will be a "proud inheri
tance" fur the children of those men to know
that they were in arms to take part in the
events of that glorious day. How this should
eft:notate the action of those men, particularly
the experienced men, who are not yet in the
field, and it should inspire with ardor the vol
unteers themselves! Let us hear no more
sneers or damaging remarks about the militia
either from the lips of martinets or`dubions
heroes.
NEW PLAN FOR FILLING UP THE
A Washington letter says that the Govern.
ment has determined to adopt a plan for re
cruiting the army which has long been under
consideration, and that measures will be im
mediately taken to carry it into effect. By
this plan it is hoped that a very large propor
tion of the two years and nine months men
just discharged may be induced tore-enlist
for the war. These veterans are to be offered,
in addition to the one hundred dollars bounty
and pay which all the national soldiers re
ceive, a bounty of three hundred dollars, and
are to form a special corps, distinguished
both from conscripts and from other three
years men. The Government is to be reimburs
ed, man for man, for this three hundred dol
lars from the substitute fund to be' raised
under the draft, and which by the terms of
the act,must be devoted to this purpose. These
advantages are to be forfeited in case the men
to whom they appeal do not avail themselves
of them within a fixed time, which will prob
ably be sixty days. The large bounty offered
is to be paid in instalments, to suit the con
venience of the Government and the wishes
of the soldiers.
IM PORTANT, [F TRUE
The Washington correspondent of the Her
ald states that the Vice President of the Rebel
Government—Mr. Stephens and Commissioner
Ould. came down the James River on board
the Rebel gunboat Dragon, on Saturday,
under a , flag nr truce, and requested permis•
sion of Aactap.i Lee to proceed to Washington,
in order to present in person an important
communication from Jeff. Davis to President .
Lincoln.
$900,000 000

Admiral Lee at once dispatched a message
to Washington for instructions. A Cabinet
meeting was held yesterday morning, and it
was decided that permission should not be
granted. Admiral Lee was instructed to in
form them that the ordinary channels of com
munication would Ruffin for the transmission
of any message they might have to send to
President Lincoln. In the meantime the rebel
gunboat had steamed up the James river
while awaiting the reply from Washington.
The Rev. SAMUEL WEST was very severe on
Copperheads and Butternuts, and was in favor
of a general hanging as the beet means of get
ting clear of them.
This WEST, who preaches politics instead of
the goqpri, slander instead of charity, bate
instead of love, is a type at once of the degra
ded secularized clergy and churches, and of
the spirit and purposes of abolition fanaticism.
Nothing but a wholesome fear of consequences
restrains them from putting in practice their
satanic threats.
Let them beware lest the patience and for—
bearance of the de:Nneed — Eecome exhausted
and their charity be chnverted into a hatred
responsive to their own. When that time shall
arrive and these shall learn from them the les—
sons of disorder and lawleasness which aboli—
tion partizans have everywhere practiced; they
will hang higher than Haman upon the gal—
lows which they seek to erect tor others. Let
them beware ! Syracuse (N. Y.)Courier. .
The somewhat notorious Moartow B. LOWRY,
a Black Republican State Senator from Erie
county, at a League meeting in Philadelphia
alkty days ago, came out with his creed as
follows :
" This war is for the African and his race.
The six hundred colored men who have recent
ly fallen have elevated the race. For all I
know, the Napolem of this war may be done
up in a black package. (Laughter.) We have
no evidence of his being up in a white one, as
yet. When this war was no bigger than my
hand, I said that if any negro would bring 7ne
his disloyal master's head, I would give. him
one hundred and sixty acres of his disloyal mas
ter's plantation. (Laughter and applause.)—
The man who talks of elevating the negro
would not have to elevate him very mnoli to
make him equal to himself."
ittiir Hon. George W. Woodward passed
through our borough on Tuesday afternoon
last, on his way to Gettysburg. He has a son
in one of the Pennsylvania regiments engaged
in the recent battles, whose fate has not yet
been ascertained. The judge was looking well.
He stopped about an hour and was waited
upon by several of our citizens. Ills Honor
Judge Strong, of the Supreme Court, accom
panied Judge Woodward to Gettysburg.
Hon: William Bigler, in going to and from
the Gettysburg battle field, stopped a short
time in town. The Governor was on the field
during part of tho engagement and gave to.
those of our citizens who paid their respects
to him a clear and satisfactcry account of
the battles and their results.— Pork Prem.
There has been much inquiry about the
Mr. Conway who recently waited on Mr.
Mason, the Rebel Commissioner in London,
and represented himself as authorized by the
Anti-Slavery party of the United States teen.:
gage for a cessation of the war on a basis of a
separation of the States, provided the South
would emancipate its slaves. A. New Eng-,
land paper says
" Mr. M. D. Conway is a Republican of the
Sumner and Wilson pattern. He is the ed.,
itor of a paper called the Boston Cowman;
wealth, which was established avowedly, to
aid in securing the re-election of Mr. Sumner
to the Senate."
HORRIBLE MURDER IN 011I0.—We learn
from the Cleveland Herald that a cattle drover
named S. H. Coy was horribly murdered Ea
his home in Medina county, on Wednesda3r
night week, when some parties broke into his
house, cut the throat of the drover from,ear
to ear, and also out the throats of hiswife
and child. The house was then set on fire in
hopes to hide the traces of the crime. The
neighbors turnedqiut, extinguished the flames
and discovered the bodies. It is supposed
that their objeot was money, as Mr. Coy tun', a
large amount in hie possession.
