COUNTY COMMITTEE MEETING
The Democratic County Committee will meet at Sbober's
Hotel, in this city, on TEIURBDAY, OCTOBER let, 1183 .
at 11 o'clock, A. M. The punctual attendance of every
member Is earnestly desired, as business of the utmost im.
portance will claim the Committee's attention.
R. It. THIUDY, Chairman.
LANCETTER, September 22d, 1813.
We have placed new Carriers
on the city routes to-day. If any of
our subscribers should hot receive
their papers, they will please report
the fact at the office.
... . .
w= The great length of the
County-Convention and-Mass Meet
ing proceedings excludes a variety of
other interesting matter. •
AB— We wish to say, once for all,
that the • projected establishment of
a daily - • and weekly Democratic
newspaper in this city is entirely in
dependent of the Intelligeneer. We
deem . this notice necessary in conse
quence of the numerous interroga
tions .put to us by our Democratic
friends in 'the city and county within
the last few days.
The County Ticket.
The ticket nominated by the
Democratic County Convention on
Wednesday last is one of the very
best that has been placed before the
people of Lancaster county for many
years, and should be elected by a
triumphant majority if solid worth,
intelligence, and real merit were the
criteria by which the great mass
of . our voters were actuated. In
consequence of the_great length of
the proceedings of the Convention
and the Mass Meeting-of Thursday,
we have not room to speak of the
candidates as they deserve in the
present issue of the Intelligencer,
but shall-have something to say on
the subject in our next and succeed
ing issues of the paper untiL the
election. In the mean time let our
Democratic friends throughout the
county buckle on their armor, and
set to work at once as though they
were determined to cleat the ticket
notwithstanding the tremendous
odds against them. We shall have
hundreds of honest - Republicans to
aid us in the good work of redeem
ing the County and State from mis
rule and corruption,. and we; as
Democrats, ought to show by our
zeal that we at least deserve success
in - Dan - caster county, whether - it fol
ows our efforts or not.
ler An Abolition Pow-wow came off at
Fulton Hall on Saturday evening; which WAR
addressed by two Greenback Patriots named
Caen and MONTGOMERY. About one-half the
audience, it is - said, were women and children.

meeting was held at Peaoh Bottom, on Sat

'will be found
It is sufficient for us iocrltay, that the
speeches were all characterized by
great ability and force, and the
thousands who listened to them so
attentively will not soon forget the
17th day of September, 1863. The
presence of our distinguished nom

ciples there enunciated must. succeed
and -be endorsed by an .iutelligent
constituency.- Speakimz.ofthis great
effort theNewiYork-ivzts says
The Qoveruor's speech indicates the issues
of the future. It points out the two diveig:
ing paths in which the people will be called
to walk—one looking to the employment only
of force, subjugation and the extinction of
States, and leading to intormiutble war—
the other superadding to force the more pow
erful agerney. of - conciliation, and leading to a
restoratiOg. Pffralernal . relatiiins' 'and the
return of the blessings-of peace and a-preser-v,.
ed Union, and a vindicated Constitution.
The Proclamation
President Li - XcoLN has taken an
other extraordinary step in the pres
ent condition-of atFairs, - and-issued a
proclamation SUSPENDING THE- - WRIT
OF DABEAS CORPUS THROUGHOUT THE
UNITED STATES ! We have not
space to comment upon this remark
able assutnption- of power, at a
period when we are told - the rebel
lion is at its..last
.gasp, and•conse
quently when the public danger
which could be the only possible
,justitication of such an arbitrary
measure, has passed away. The
suspension of the writ is ordered to
continue daring the rebellion, or until
restored by a new proclamation. •
Thaddeus Stevens' Platform,
As laid down In his Speeett.at Christiana,
September 17th, 1863.
" Upon the iseine of the Pennsylvania and,
Ohio election depends more than on the vie,
tories in the field."
" The retie's at Richmond, you will soon
learn, are less infamous traitors titan those
Democrats assembled to-day at Lancaster."
"The only way to conquer the South was
such as I stated while in Congress, viz: to lib
erate the staves, and put arms in their hands.'.'
"We must conquer the Southcrn States,
and hold ahem as Conquered -
The Union as-it was. and the Constitution
as it is—God forbid it !" -
How do the conservative Repub
licans of Lancaster county like the
above platform upOn which they
have been placed by their Congres
sional Representative? The- ap
proaching election must decide
whethei they are for or aganist it.
THE RADICAL ABOLITIONISTS
- -
After all their pledges to be Union men,
and to belong to a Union party, they are now
coming out openly fur the destruction of the
Union our fathers made. They tell us now
that they are not Warring to restore the Union
as they pledged the country, but that they in
tend to protract the war, •and keep - the sece
ding States out of the Union until they agree
to abolish slavery. This most astounding and
destructive policy they kept from the people
as long as they could, to deceive them into
their support; tut the prospect of•a return of
some of she Southern States to the Union has
drawn them out, and now they arc showing ,
their true colors. Bogus Union
.editore and .
bogus Union pretenders, whether speakers,
preachers, or street brawlers. can rro-longer
deceiveeither the people at home, or the col
there in the field. They-have taken their
position—to destroy the old_ Union and the
uld Constitution, and to protract the war, for
the mere purpose of abolishing slavery. Such'
is the wickedness and crime which these Abo
lition leaders have reached at last. They have
forgotten their thousand promises to the
soldiers and the people, that they would war
only to restore the Union as our fathers made
it. They openly proclaim the old Union dead,
and the Constitution null and void; and yet
in the face of all this treachery and public
prostitution, these same bogus Union meu
have the hardihood to ask the peOple, and even
the soldier who is enduring all the hardships
of actual war for his country, to vote for them.
It is not enough that these men or their party
have stolen two hundred millions of dollars
yearly since the war commenced, which the
people have to pay in taxes ; it is not enough
that their party have tried, and in many cases
successfully, to -destroy the freedom of
.the
press and of speech, the right of trial•by jury,
and the habeas corpus—that they have made
and are executing laws in...violation of the.
Constitution, and most abhorrent to the people,
and destructive to the Unions it is not enough
that they, with their co-workers in rebellion,
have already sacrificed nearly half a million of
valuable live's, and.thousanfis of millions of
property to cap the climax ofjel,their
crimes, hey must now pervert phe'GoVerp
meat frtn . the restoration of the UnidiFand
the aiding of States to return, into a ne'gro"
crusade to destroy slavery. "They - are .now
deterinined that the old Unin - and - the Con=
stitulion; and" alavery;_,shall be buried in. the
same grave, and. this - is the feast to which
they invite the soldiers -and-the people. If
there is an honest ..naan, whether at home or
in the field, who will uphold- such rascality,
we pity him from the depths of our heart.

SCENES, INCIDENTS, am
Thursday last, September 17th, 1863, the 76th
anniversary of the adoption of the Constitution of
the United States, was commemorated with becom
ing spirit by the Democracy of Lancaster City and
County and the adjacent counties. It was oele
brated in such a manner, too, that it will be long
remembered try our citizens of every shade of polit
ical opinion. The day dawned most auspiciously,
and at an early hoar our streets were full of people
arriving from the country in all directions. We
have endeavored below,
- from memory, to give some
account of the day and its incidents; - 'but, we fear,
It - will be found to be a very impeifeet report. -

Llemgn, it is understood that I am to go through
this campaign without dikussing the political ques
tions of the day: Suoh was the determination of
the convention which nominated me at Harrisburg.
Never, since I have held a judicial commission,
the dist of which' was conferred by my venerable
friend -whom you have seleoted to preside on th is coo
,easion, have I made a political speech. lam one
of those who think tliat the judicial office should be
held aloft above all partisan passions and appeals.
i.am not here,to depart.frout this rule of my judi
cial life.
Brit I htn net unwilling 'to meet. my fellow-citi
,xeris anywhere.and everywhere, and to exchange
_friendly salutations with them. Nor will you lose
'anything by my leaving political questions to be
- discussed by the able gentlemen who will address
you, for they are more capable to entertain and in

— lr.! should be - elected your - Governer, it will be

promise you it shall be done at the proper time,
with great plainness of speech: [lmmense applause.]

will novr retire and give plane to others.

TOE MAINE ELECTION
The election in Maine has resulted in the
election of Cony, the Abolition candidate for .
Governor by a majority of probably 15,000.
This termination of the contest neither aston
ishes nor alarms us ;
we had anticipated it,
and were therefore fully prepared for the an
nouncement. The Abolition papers orow as
though they had gained a great and unex
pected victory—but they are _given to small
things, and we do not feel in the least,annoy r ,,
ed by the clamor they make. As long as the
Democracy can maintain the hold they now
unquestionably have upon the great States of
the North, New York, Penneylvania, Ohio,-
.Indiana and Illinois, with New Jersey-eer-••
taih, andr Wisconsin probable, they will have . •
no reason to regret the course of Maine and
her sister Yankee States. We rejoice rather
that, politically, we are now separated from'
them. Why should we not? Their ways"
are not our ways, nor their thoughts our •
thoughts. We are as widely apart from them
in sentiment as we are from the Malaya or the
inhabitants of the Fejee Islands.. . .
New England, is the hot-bed of all that is l *
heterodox in politics and religion; a region
teeming with moral monster's; a womb fruit
ful of every kind and degree of fanaticism;' '
the nursery of infidelity, spiritualism, Four- '
ierism, Fanny Wright-ism, Abby Kelly-ism, •
Fosterism, Abolitionism, Sectionalism,
unionism, revolution and oiyil war; a brawn_
caldron, heated as it were by the fires of. hell
Itself; in Which ie ever kept bubbling andboil:
ing the bitter waters of pride and envy and
covetousness, from which spring hatred, die-'
cord and all the legions of evils thatfollow-in• .
their train. She has now, consistently we
think, become a unit in support of Lincoln's ~.
administration. One after the other these..,..
peddling. meddling, codfish and blubber-oil,
Yankee States have takei . their peeition
the ranks "of 'this Union-wrecking administra='
don. Maine was the last to record her adhe--
.sion,.and now -all of them are in the right ,.
place—vbere .their infamous principles and.
thievish instincts lead theno. New England"
is rotten, shoddy to the core; and therefore .
she has,placed herself in a position Where
she can reely commune with Cengehiat
ppil a
its. Always greedy after gain; we add "her
now in pursuit•of plunder: Where -the - . oar: ,
cass is, there will the vulturee gather, and;.
the Yankee. heart turns yearningly.,ta the
" flesh pots" of Washington.. ,
The New Englanders have always heen,
mischief-breeders, hatchet's of dissension;
their counsel, when followed, has alwayS been
hurtful. There can be no concord' in any
Government of. which- they form-a component •
part. Like Lucifer, they would•raise war in
Heaven, if the Celestial Kingdom were; not ,
governed up to their ideas; s,nd our chief re r
gret is that the Mayflower ever brought, the"
pestilential breed to our shores.
The Democrscy of the Middle and'Vresterit
States may be sure that, being opposed •by
New England, they are right. There could
be no stronger evidence. —Patriot and Union.,

"The camp of the Invalid Corps, at Alen,-
