brought our country to we coudition of " the house

began wenn statesmen had foreseeu it; it began in
the triumph of a sectional party, wooded on prin
ciples to revolutionary uostility co the Vanecitution
and the laws. The leaders of this party were pledged
to a conflict with rights recoguized and s.,eltered by
the Constitution. rimy called tots conflict " irre
pressible;"- and wheuever one party is determined
to attach what another is determined to defend, a
conflict Can always oe wads ' irrepressible." They
counted ou an easy triumph through the aid of insur
gent slaves, and, in EAU reit:woe, were careless how
coon they provoked a collision. Democrats and Con
servatives strove to avert tile cent:Lim they saw
that Union was the paramount interest of their
country, and tney stood by tile great bond of Union,
the 'Jonsticution of the United Mated. They were
content to leave debatable questions under it to the
Ingo tribunal framed to decide them; they preferred
it to the sword as au arbiter between toe States;
they strove hard to merit the title which their oppo
nents gave them in scorn—the title of .• Union
savers." We will not at length rehearse their tlforts.
In toe Thirty-sixth Congress the ltepublicau leaders
refused their assent to toe Crittenden Compromise.
On Lilts point me testimony of Air. Douglas will
suffuse. lie said:
"1 believe this to be a fair basis of amicable ad
justment. If you 01 tun Republican side are not
willing t, accept this, nor toe ploposition of the

ns what you ore wtutug to do? 1 address the in-
quiry to the hepublicaud alone, for the reason that,
on the Co7722nittc: of Thirteen, a few days ago,
every memb,r from the ~ uttlll,zuclueling those fro nt
the cotton States (Messrs. D.ivis and Toombs),
expressed their readiness to accept the proposition
of wy venerable trmed tram Kentucky, Mr. Crit

tendeted and susationd by the Republican members.
Renee the sole responsibility of oar disagr ement,

The Peace Congress was another means by which
the border States strove to avert the impending
strife. tiow the Republican leaders then conspired
against the peace ut their country may be seen in a
letter from benatur Chandler, of Michigan, to the
Governor of that State:
To His Excellimey, Tustin
tiovernor Biu,shain nod inpeit telegraphed you
on Saturday, at the request of Ala.senchusetts nod
New York, to seed dinegates to the Peace or Com
promise Congress. They admit that we were right
and they were wroug ; that no Republican State
should have seat deiegates ; but they are hero nod
cannot get away. Owe, Indiana and Rhode !shunt
are caving in, nod there is danger at Illinois ; and
now they Deg us ler bud's sake to come to their res
cue, and save the Republican pony from rupture.—
I hope you will seod stiff backed men or noue. The
whole thing was gotten up against my judgment nod
advice, and will end in tam smoke. Stii I hope as
a matter of courtesy to some of our erring brethren
that you will send the delegates.
" Truly, your friend,
" Z. CHANDLER."

that a Elgin would be awful. Without a little blood
lettiug tars Union will not, iu my estimation, be
worth a malt.
" Westitriorou, Feb. 11, 1861."
In Pennsylvania, too, the some spirit prevailed.
It was not seen how necessarily her position united
her in interest with the border States. She has
learned it since, from contending armies trampling
out her harvests and deluging tier fields with blood.
thuvernor Curtin sent to the Peace Congress Mr.
Wilmot and Mr. Meredith.
Mr. Wilmot was chiefly known from the connec
tion of his mime with the attempt to embroil the
country by the " Wilmot Proviso," baffled by patri
otic statesmanship, in Walsh Clay and Webster
joined with the Democratic leaders; just as Clay
and Jackson hal/joined in the tariff Comprom ice of
1833. Mr. Meredith had published his belief that
the mutterings of the rising etorm were what ho
called stridulous er.es," unworthy of the slightest
attention.
By Mr. Lincoln's election, in November, 1860, the
power to save or destroy the Union was in the hands
of his party ; and no adjustment was possible with
men woo rejected the
,lodgment of the Supreme
Court, who scorned conciliation and compromise,
and who looked to a " lithe bloodletting" to cement
the American Union. Till this time,
the Union
men of the South had controlled, with little diffi
culty, the smelt but restless class among them woo
desired a separate nationality. The substantial in
terests of the south, especially the slaveholding in
terest, were drawn reluctantly into secession. Gen.
F. P. Blair, of Missouri, au eminent Republican,
said very truly, in the last Congress:
"Every man acquainted with the facts knows
that it is lallacioue to call CiliS a slavenoiders ' re
bellion.' * Is A closer scrutiny
demonstrates the contrary to be true; ouch a scru
tiny demonstrates that the rebellion originated
chiefly with the non-aluveholders resident in the
strungnolds of the institution, nut springing, how
ever, Irma any love of slavery, but item an antag
onism of race and hostility to the idea of equality
With the blacks involved in simple emancipation."
Lt was the triumph of the Abolitionists over the
Democrats and Conservatives of the North, that se
cured a like triumpn to the' Secessionists over the
Union men of the South. The Jahn Brown raid
was taken as a practical exposition of the doctrine
of "irrepressible cuuflost." The exultation over its
momentary success, the lamentation over its failure,
had been swelled by the Abolitionists, so as to seem
a general expression of Northern feeling. Riots and
rescues had nullified the constitutional provision for
the return of fugitives. The false pretence that
slavery would monopolize the territories, when we
had uu territories in which it could exist, had been
used as a means of constant agitation against slav
ery in the Southern States. A plan of attack upon
it had been pubilshed in '• Helper's book," formally
endorsed and recommended by the leaders of the
party that was about to assume the Administration
of the Federal Governments—leaders who openly in
culcated contempt for the Constitution, contempt for
the Supreme Court, and professed to follow a " high
er law ." - Thus the flame of revolution at the South
was kindled and fed with fuel furnished by the
Abolitionists. It might seem superfluous to advert
now to what is past and irrevocable, were it not
that it is against the same men and the same influ
ences, still dominant in the councils of the Admin
istration, that an appeal is now to be made to the
intelligence of the people. The Abolitionists de
precate these allusions to the past. To cover up
their own tracks, they invite us to spend all our in
dignation upon "Southern traitors ;" but truth com
pels us to add, that, in the race of treason, the
Northern traitors to the Constitution had the start.
They tell us that slavery was the cause of the war ;
therefore, the Union is to be restored by waging a
war upon slavery. This is not true; or only true in
the armee that any institution, civil or religious,
may be a cause of war, if war is made upon it.—
Nor is it a just conclusion that if you take from
your neighbor his "moo servant ox his maid servant,
or anything thatls his," you will thus establish har
mony between you. No danger to the Union arose
from slavery whilst the people of each State dealt
calmly and intelli s ently with the question within
their own State limits. Where little importance
attached to it, it soon yielded to moral and economi
cal considerations, leaving the negro in a position
of social and political subordination no where more
clearly marked than in the Constitution and laws
of Pennsylvania. The strife began when people in
States where it was an immaterial question under
took to prescribe thecourse of duty upon it to States
in which it was a question of great importance and
difficulty. This interference became more dangerous
when attempts were made to use the power of the
General Government, instituted for the benefit of
all the States, to the injury and proscription of the
interests of some of the States. It was not merely
a danger to the institution of slavery, but to our
whole political system, in which separate and dis
tinot colonies became, by the Declaration of lode-
pendence, " free and independent States," and
afterwards established a Federal Union under the
Constitution of the United States. That instrument,
with scrupulous care, discriminates the powers dele
gated to the General Government from those re
served " to the States respectively, or to the people.'
And let it be noted, that in speaking of the powers
so delegated and reserved, we refer to no vague doc
trines or pretensions, but to the clear provisions of
the written instrument which it is the duty of every
citizen, and especially of every public functionary,
to respect and maintain. The protection of Ameri
can liberty against the encroachments of centraliza
tion was left to the States by the framers of the
Constitution. Hamilton, the most indulgent of
them to Federal power, says: " lc may be safely
received as an axiom in our political system, that
the State Governments will, in all possible contin
gencies, afford complete seourity against invasions
of' public liberty by the national authority." Who
can be blind to . he consequences that have followed
the departure from the true principles of our Gov
ernment? " Abolition " vies with " secession " in
sapping the very foundations of theetructure reared
by our forefathers. In Pennsylvania, the party on
whose ants you will pass at the ballot-box has
trampled upon the great rights of personal liberty
and the freedom of the press, which every man who
can read may find asserted in the Constitution of '
the State and the Constitution of the United States.
The dignity of our Commonwealth has •been in-
salted in the outrages perpetrated upon her citizens.

- .
The reunion of the States - can alone give them
their old security at tows and power and dignity
abroad. This end can never be reached upon the
principles of the party now in power. Their prin
ciples are radically fates, and clan never lead to a
good conclusion. Their hope of setting up the ne
gro in the place of the white man runs counter to
the laws of race, the laws of nature. Their states
manship has been weighed in the balanoe.and found
wanting. Their " little blood-letting " has proved
a deluge. Their interference with our armies has
often frustrated and never aided their success, till it
has become a military proverb that the best thing
for a general is to be out of reach from Washington.
The party was founded upon the political and moral
heresy of opposition tr Compromise, which is the
only means of Union among States, and of peace and
good will on earth among men.
In a popular Government, the people are sovereign
and the sound sense of the whole community corrects,
at the polls, the errors of political parties. The peo
ple of Pennsylvania have Been, with regret, the un
constitutional aims of the Abolitionists substituted
for the original objects of the war. They have seen
with indignation many gallantsoldiers of the Union
driven from its service, because they have not bowed
down to the Abolition idol. They will see with hor
ror the war protracted in order to secure the tri
umph of a party platform, or, as Mr. Chandler said,
" to save the Republican party from rupture." The
time is now at hand when the voice of the people
will be heard. The overthrow of the Abolitionists
at the polls and the re-establishment of constitu
tional principles at the North is the first, the indis
pensable step towards the restoration of the Union
and the vindication of civil liberty. To this great
service to his country each citizen may contribute
by his vote. Thus the people of the North may them
selves extend the Constitution to the people of the
South. It would not be a specious offer of politicians,
to be observed with no better faith than the resoln
dons of July, '6l It would be a return to the na
tional policy of the better days of the Republio,
through the intelligerce of the people, enlightened
by experience. It would strengthen the Govern
ment: fur a constitutional government is strong
when exercising with vigor its legitimate powers,
and is weak when it sets an example of revolution
ary violence by invading the rights of the people.--
Our principles and our candidates are known to
you. The resolutions of the late Convention at
Harrisburg wore, with some additions, the same

several States, and by the General Assembly

has always been, Ibr the Union and the Constitution

"that while this. General Assembly condemns and
denounces the faults of the Administration and the
encroachments of .the Abolitionists, it does, also,
most thoroughly condemn and denounce the heresy
of secession as unwarranted by the Constitution,
and destructive alike of the eecurity and perpetuity
of Government and of the peace and liberty of the
people, and it does hereby most solemnly declare
that the people of this State are unalterably oppos
ed to any division of the Union, and will persist-.
ently exert their whole influence and pi wer, under
the Constitution, to maintain and defend it."
Wo have renominated Chief Justice Lowrie for the
bench which he adorns. Our candidate for Gover
nor, Judge Woodward, in his public and private
character, affords the best assurance that he will
bring honesty, capacity, firmness and patriotism to
the direction of the affairs of the Commonwealth.—
Long withdrawn, by judicial functions, from the po
litical arena, he did not withhold his warning voice
when conservative men took counsel together upon
the dangers that menaced our country. His speech
at the town meeting at Philadelphia in December,
1860, has been vindicated by subsequent events as
a signal exhibition of statesmanlike sagacity.
Under his Administration we may hope that
Pennsylvania, with God's blessing, will resume her
place as " the Keystone of the Federal arch."

BOILER EXPLOSION -MAN BLOWN TO PIECES.
—The boiler of one of the engines, of a freight
train on the Penna. Rail Road, exploded at
Parkesburg, Chester county, on Saturday
week. The train had stopped, and the fire
man,'
named WATSON, was pumping water into
the boiler—the engineer having gone into the
saloon to get his dinner—when the boiler ex
ploded. The fireman was blown to pieces ;
one of his arms was blown a distance of twenty
yards, where it struck the window of the.,
ticket office, passing through and carrying
the sash along, and then struck the wall on
the opposite side of the room, knocking off the
plaster and breaking one of the laths. The
body was entirely stripped of its clothing,
some of which was afterwards found on the
top of a laree building, about fifty yards die
tent from the accident. A man, sawing wood,
in a shed near by, was considerably injured
by being struck by some of the flying frag
ments—the shed in which he was at work,
was nearly demolished. Some buildings near
by were considerably injured, especially the
ticket office, some pieces of the engine were
driven clear through the door of the latter

THE Came OF SILENCE.—The President, in
his letter to the Albany committee, says :
" The man who stands by and says nothing
when the peril of„this government is discuss
ed, cannot be misunderstood."
" The New York World asks, " was any.
thing so extraordinary ever before uttered by
the Chief Magistrate of a free country ? . Men
are torn from their homes, immured in bag
tiles for the shocking crime of—SILENCE !
Citizens of the model Republic of the world
are not only banished for speaking their opin
ions, but are plunged into dungeons for hold
ing their tongues I Wh,n before, in the annals
of tyranny, was silence ever punished as a
crime? Citizens who disapprove of the acts of
the administration are denied even the refuge
of a dignified silence, and on malicious and
partisan conjectures of the motives of such si
lence, they are deprived of their liberty. Few
among us ever expected to live to see such
things done; and nobody, we are sure, to see
them so unblushingly confessed."
The President would force the people into
silence, and then punish that silence as a
BURNING COTTON.-A letter to the St. Louis
Republican, from Northern Mississippi, under
date of July 27th, says :
The Confederates are burning cotton far
and wide. The whole country south of the
Tallahatchee river, and between that and
Jackson, Mississippi, is one vast cotton confla.
gration. The torch is put to every bale that
can be found, and the smoke from the burning
staple hangs like a dense fog over the land.—
And while this is being done south of the Tal
lahatchee, Chalmers is beginning the work of
destruction north of that stream, and between
it end Cold Water creek.
Orders have been issued to burn all, and his
forces are out in every direction, carrying
them into execntion. They swear not a bale
shall be left for Federal confiscation, and we
believe that in less than thirty days Missis—
sippi—proud and once prosperous Missiesppi
—will be a desolate waste, a vast plain or
smouldering ruins,
FORNEY AEIOBO' THE Nixisozi
The " Anniversary of the Association for
the Relief of Contrabands in the District of
Columbia," was held at the Fifteenth Street
Presbyterian Church on Thursday evening.
The sentence in the Chronicle describing the
audience is somewhat ambiguous. It says:
"The church was densely filled with gentle
men and ladies; and the large number of
while citizens , present indicated the interest
taken in the commendable object." From
this language we must infer that the ladies
and gentlemen were negroes. Colonelßenton
was right in repudiating the word "lady."—
It is time for the whites to reject the titles of
gentlemen and ladies, and leave them to their
degradation. The principal orator, whose
eloquence was brought into requisition to in
struct and delight the assemblage of gentle
men and ladies, was Mr. FORNEY.
We are sorry that the report of his speech
is not more extended. The leading points of
his remarks are, however, no doubt faithfully
presented. He confessed that for twenty years
he was one of the party bedarkened with pre
jadice against the colored race. He did not
quote himself, however, by stating that his
conversion was a slow process, and that for
years after conviction of the errors of his
ways, powerful motives retained him in asso
ciation with his old party friends ; at last his
conversion and repentance became complete.
Time, no doubt, was too brief to permit him
to go into all the minute details of experience,
and omissions must be pardoned. But he as
sured his audience—the ladies and gentlemen
aforesaid—that with far greater zeal than was
ever exhibited by the most frantic of converts,
he had at one bound sprung from the portico
of the catechumens into the very chancel of
the negro church. "He had come to the con
clusion," he assured his hearers, "that if lib
erty is to be secured to us—permanent and
practical liberty—it must be by the aid of the
colored races on this continent"— Washing.

TUE CONSCRIPTION IN NEW YORK
Naar YORK, Aug. 11.
A writ of habeas carpus was allowed by
Justice Chambers, on Satarday, ordering
Gen. Canby to produce the body of Guy W.
Ilollister, a conscript, from the interior of the
State. The counsel for the conscript, Jas. 0.
Fabb, claims in his petition that the conscrip-
tion is illegal, null and void. Gen. Canby
made return this morning that the drafted
men are not under his command, whereupon
a new writ was issued to the officer having
control of the forces on Riker's Island, where
Hollister is claimed to be.
OVATION TO EX-PRESIDENT Bt.
MMSI
On Saturday last a dinner was given to
Hon. Jelin Bucilexes, at the Bedford Ho
tel, and the people of this neighborhood called
upon the Ex-President in large numbers, to
pay their respects to one whom they now hon
or more than ever, seeing that if his political
views had continued to prevail in the admin
istration of the Government, we could not
have had the present civil war, and Disunion
would long since have died for want of nour
ishment. In the afternoon a number of the
ladies called upon the Ex-President. Altogeth
er, it was a delightful re-union of old friends,
and we. believe was one of the largest and
most successful receptions, ever given in this
place to any public man.—Bedford Gazette
of:Friday.
WHITE MAN SHOT BY A NEGRO SOLDIER.-
On Saturday week, Coroner Jacobus, of Mont
gomery co., held an inquest upon the body of
William Fox, near Camp William Penn, Chel
tenham township. He was shot by Charles
Wrigley, a negro soldier belonging to that
Camp, on Friday evening, at 9 o'clock. F.,x
was standing in the public road about eigh
teen or twenty yards from the line of the road
and from Wrigley, who was on guard. It is
stated he did not offer to go over the line.—
The ball passed through his right hand and
through his abdomen, causing his death in
about half an hour. He had been working
for Mrs. Fanny Butler, who resides close by.
The jury rendered a verdict according to the
above facts. A warrant was issued for the
arrest of the negro, but the Colonel-placed
him under guard and refused to give him up
until so advised by legal authority. On Tues•
day the negro was taken charge of by the
Sheriff of Montgomery county, and lodged in
prison to await his trial.
tier Recent developments show that the
draft to be made in the State of New York was
intended to be a nice trap to catch copperheads
and exempt the black snakes. In Democrat
ic districts about three-tenths of the voters
were to have been drafted, while in Republi
can districts but about one-tenth were to be
taken. A long letter from Gov. Seymour to
the President, relating to this as well as other
points, is published, with the reply. Lincoln
admits some of the points to be well taken,
evades others, and gives partial assurance
that justice will be done.
