" CLING TO THE CONSTITUTION, AS THE SHIPWRECKED MARINER.CLINGS TO THE LAST PLANK, WHEN NIGHT AND THE TEMPEST CLOSE AROUND HlM."—DebraL WEBSTER. Money Wanted. This is a very general want among the people, except those who are fortunate enough to be connected with the present State and National Administrations. It is particularly wanted at this office, at the present time, as we have debts for paper, &c., which must be paid. We have freely given of our time and means in the campaign which, has just closed with such unsatisfactory re sults, and we now ask our delinquent subscribers and patrons for the amount honestly due us, so that the machine may run smoothly in the future. A Democratic press cannot live in this county unless every one indebted promptly pays up. Hun dreds of our friends have done so— many of them in advance for their subscriptions—and we feel thankful to them for it, but there are very many others in arrears for advertis ing and job work, and for several years , subscription, and to them we appeal. We need the money now, and we do not ask it as a favor, but as a right. Come, gentlemen, pay the Printer, and pay him without further delay. The Bounties Offered. A misunderstanding seems to ex ist in reference to the amount of bounty proposed to be paid to veter ans and raw recruits respectively.-- A recent order from the Provost Marshal General provides that veter ans re-enlisting shall receive $402 bounty, while raw recruits shall re ceive $302. It would appear, how ever, that this order has reference only to the volunteer service, and not to the regular service. These are very liberal bounties, and we have no doubt they will operate as a strong inducement to hundreds of young men in this county to enter the service of the country either as volunteers or in the regular service. If they wait to be drafted they will not be entitled to any bounty, nor will they have the privilege of select ing their own regiments. The Pro vost Marshal of this District, Cap tain BOLENIUS, has received author ity from head quarters to accept vol unteers under the new call. An Immense Aimy. It will be well for the people to bear in mind the number of men called for by the Administration since the war began in April, 1861 Let us look at the figures: -To end the war in 90 days To end the war early To save Washington and repel the invading rebels To serve nine months and end the war 300,000 To replace the nine months men 300,000 And, lastly, to end the war 300,000 The war has been waged against the Southern rebels for a little over two years and a half, and it has been deemed necessary to call into the field a lam' MILLION AND THREE QUARTERS of the young men of the Northern States. Sup pose it continues two years and a half longer, we presume as many more men will be required to wage the war successfully, and as much more treasure will have to be ex pended in order to maintain the im mense armies of the Republic ! Have the people ever thought of the overpowering magnitude of the contest in which we are engaged, and which bids fair to last for years to come ? If they have not, the above figures will give them some idea of this terrible war. The " Tenth Legion." The following are the official ma jorities for Judge WOODWARD in the famous Tenth Legion District: Northampton, - 3,073 Monroe, - - 2,025 Wayne, - - 942 Pike, - - - 913 Carbon, - 577 Total, - - 7,530 This is an increase of 1100 since 1862—about the same increase that was made in the Democratic vote of Lancaster county in the same period. If other districts in the State had done as well as these two, WOOD WARD would be the Governor elect of Pennsylvania by a large majority. Thanksgiving Proclamation. Governor CURTIN has issued a Proclamation, in accordance with the recommendation of the Presi dent, setting apart the last THURS DAY or NOVEMBER, as a day of Thanksgiving to God for the fruits of the earth and the numerous bless ing§ which we ' as a people, have en joyed during the past year. The 'day. ;will doubtless be observed in Pennsylvania.in` the spirit of the recommendation. The New Requisition. F t We neither expect nor desire, says the Harrisburg Patriot, to escape the calumny of the party in power by anything we may say or do. In fact, we rather esteem it an honor, a high tribute to our patriotism, to be branded as a traitor by a set of men whose actions prove them to be enemies of republican institutions and of their country. Such being our opinion, we trust that they will abate nothing of their abuse of us, or the party in concert with whom we act, for expressing the hope that the call of the President for 300,000 more troops by voluntary enlistment may be promptly responded to, and the quota of Pennsylvania, which willbe some 38,000, furnished within the designated time, For the honor of the Old Keystone let this be so. We all desire to see the war terminated in the shortest possible time; and if the Adminis tration have the slightest desire to bring it to a speedy conclusion, they can do so if the force now asked for is promptly furnished. Let us test at once their sincerity and capacity by giving the means they require.— If they fail, with this new force added to that already in the field, to put down armed rebellion, restore peace, and reunite, under the terms of the Constitution, the dissevered sections of the country, they will certainly not have the effrontery to ask for fresh armies, or be absurd enough to assert their ability to ad minister the Government. This call, cheerfully and promptly responded to, their failure to accomplish speedily and faithfully the duty that it will impose upon them of crush ing armed rebellion and restoring peace and unity, will at last open the eyes of the people to their im becility or infidelity, and seal their practical death warrant. We do not ask the people of Pennsylvania to trust them, but try them. Let us do our duty and exact the performance of theirs. Let the quota of the State be furnished and the responsibility of improving or abusing the last opportunity rest upon the President, his administra tion, and his party. The Aggregate Vote The whole number of votes cast for Governor at the late election in this State was 524,385, being an in crease of 89,635 over 1862, when the number cast was 434,750. Of the entire number, 254,889 were polled for WOODWARD, and 269,496 for CURTIN. If the Democrats are "foes" and " traitors," as stigmatized by STAN TON, FORNEY and other incorrupti bles, what a snug little band there is of them! Two hundred and fifty four thousand eight hundred and eighty nine " traitors" in the single State of Pennsylvania! Why, they would fill every bastile on the Continent, and still leave an overplus larger than Gen. Meade's army. It is really alarming to think of. The " Government " ought to do some thing for this thing without a mo ment's delay, or the country will be ruined ! WORDS OM WISDOM It is pleasant to be occasionally reminded that at least two or three of the statesmen who have made Massachusetts famous in our civil history still live, though disowned and unhonored by the people of a Commonwealth who have wondered after strange gods. . Hon. ROBERT C. WINTHROP is one of the few men left to remind us of the golden age of New England statesmanship and oratory. Contrast, for instance, the following paragraph from a short speech he recently delivered in Boston with the heated partisan ravings of Wil-soN, and the narrow negrophilism of SUMNER: Sir, it is in the power of the loyal press of the loyal states of this country, while it urges and stimulates, as it ought unceasingly to urge and stimulate,by every appeal to interest, obligation, and patriotism, the discharge of our first great duty, that of reinforcing our army and navy to the utmost practicable ex tent, and with practicable dispatch, so that we may be able to strike a vigorous and crush ing blow upon the hydra-headed rebellion wherever it exists, yet so to deal with the questions of the future, so to abstain from wanton irritation and vituperation, so to abandon all savage threats of indiscriminate and wholesale vengeance, as to prepare the way, or at least to leave the way open, for that ultimate restoration of fraternity and concord without which all the successes of our armies and navies will prove vain and worth less. We must not forget that he who over comes by force overcomes but half his foe.— There is an old maxim that we should so deal with our enemies as not forgetting that they may one day become our friends. The re Sir, if the press of the loyal states could be conducted in such a spirit, and if all our pens and tongues could be similarly inspired, both towards enemies at home and neutrals abroad, we might well feel a confidence that the day was not far distant when the old Constitution, for which the mechanics of 1788 struck so de cisive a blow, might once more be restored over the land, and when our flag might have a star for every state, and our country a state for every star. (Great applause.) 75,000 500,000 300,000 1,775,000 Had the WINTHROPS, instead of the WIL SONS and SUMNERS, directed the policy of the war, we would by this time have bad a reu nited country upon a foundation of lasting peace. WHO IS TO BLA.:II*. By recent advices from Charleston Harbor we are informed that the Rebels have now seventeen fortifications on Sullivan's Island, extending from Beach Inlet to Mount Pleas ant. When Admiral Dahlgren took position in the main ship channel last July there were only four fortifications on this Island, viz : Moultrie, Bee, Beauregard and Beach Inlet Battery. But now the Rebels boast the con struction of thirteen more. ,If the Admiral ever intends to reach Charleston by way of the harbor it will never do for him to keep hie fleet idle while the Rebels build batteries under his very guns. Moreover, it is doubt less somewhat discouraging to . Gillmore to see the Rebels erecting fortifications which com pensate to a great degree for those of which he has recently deprived them. But, perhaps, this is naval strategy. If so, may our iron clads be preserved from the results. Important Decision. Justice CLARKE, of the Supreme Court of the State of New York, has decided that it is unconstitutional for the President, either in his civil or military capacity, to cause any person, not subject to military law, to be arrested and imprisoned with out the process of some Court. MONSTER BANK.-A public meeting of bankers and capitalists was held at New York on Thursday week, at which it was resolved expedient to organize a National Bank in that city, with a capital office millions, with the privilege of extending it to $50,000,000, by such additions from time to time, as may be deemed expedient. The necessary steps were taken to commence the procurement of sub scriptions to the stook. lirefittisPlzoTlVE • „ A year ago last sunittier the arni. , e of toe Union were thundering it the gatbi or Rich= mond, and the enemy Were gatheriet Orgy force and expending all Weir energies in the defence of their capital, If at that time Rich mond had - fallen, thel Ortishing effect on ;the Military powet of the rebellion would have been vastly greater than has been produbed by all the events of the war from that time to this. We speak advisedly, and with due oon sideration. The fall of Richmond would necessarily-have given us control of Virkinie from east to west, and the enemy would have retired into more emote States. Wershenold not have heard any longer of threats against Washington. We should not have been alarm ed by the constant return of Lee's hosts to the banks of the Potomac, and the succession of battles fought within sight and hearing of our own capital. We should have possessed not only Virginia, but Tennessee and North Car olina as well. The Union sentiment of the last named State, and of the eastern portion of Tennessee, would have been free to express itself, and the rebel forces would have forted no resting place in either of those States— North Carolina would not have consented to be the battle-ground of the war. The taking of Richmond, therefore, would have been the grandest blow that could be struck at the power of the rebellion. Virginia-' oars, the whole Confederacy would have been damaged, if not paralyzed, and the restoration of that State to the control of national law would have been a triumph to tell to foreign nations as well 'as to our own people. Its resulting effects would have been invaluable. Why was it not done? Why was Richmond not taken? We have now arrived at a point of time sufficiently remote from the events of that summer to be able to see with some clearness the reasons for occurrences which were then hidden in the smoke and dust of the conflict. Gen. MCCLELLAN had led his splendid army to the Peninsula. Hie plan of a campaign, designed to be brief, swift, victorious, was ad mirably conceived—abundantly well provided for. Nothing was wanting. It bad been difficult—more difficult than the people will know until they read true history—to organ ize the army for such a campaign. Some of the finest regiments did not receive their rifles until at the very moment of starting. No ex ertion of the General or of his aids could overcome the delays thrown in the way of operations by those who were not under his control. But they were at last ready, The people know some of the facts about the steady and fatal breaking up of MCCLELLAN'S plans by the higher powers. Blenker's division was first withdrawn before he left Washington.— Landing at Fortress Monroe, he found the order to take what troops be needed from that point countermanded. This cost him ten thousand more men. When under fire before Yorktown .he received information that MC DOWELLrs corps was withdrawn from his army. This overthrew the whole plan. Fifty thou sand men bad been taken away from the army with which he had planned to enter the ene my's country I Does history show an exam pie of such a sacrifice of a great expedition, such a throwing away of life and treasure as the authorities at Washington made in this matter ? But again and again MCDOWELL was promised, and again and again he was held back. While his radical enemies were filling the air with the shout, " Why does he not go up the James river side of the Peninsula ?" McCLELLsbr, who had earnestly desired to make the James river his base of supplies so soon as the Merrimac should be destroyed, was prevented from doing it by the reiterated assurances that McDowsu, was coming down from the north, and by the order of the Secre tary of War to stretch hie right wing out in that direction to receivo McDowELL. Strange to say, while he was promised the presence of McDowzra., he was ordered to burn the very bridges by which alone MCDOWELL could come ! And notwithstanding all the promises, McDowzw, never came, and the position of the army in consequence was most critical. It was left to destruction. This position was no fault of the general in command. Had he been left to his original campaign, the terrible seven days would not have formed a part of our history. But he was equal to the emergency. The change of base to the James River was effected, and the army was saved by .the splendid skill and generalship of Mcazusri, the heroic bravery of his soldiers, the stead , fast faithfulness of his officers. But who can tell why the Army of the Potomac was now recalled from Harrison's Lauding? Who can explain the fatal abandoning of the Peninsula? Where is the man who can now tell us why we exchanged the vantage ground we had, in sight of the enemy's capital, for this long war around Washington, this constantly recurring fear for Pennsylvania, Maryland, the national capital itself? The question is not without importance in view of our present position.— Again and again the question has been asked : Why do not the Administration order an ad vance in Southern Virginia? And as frequent ly the question remains unanswered, unless it be that they are willing to go back to the old ground of Gen. McCLELLAN. It would indeed be an endOrsement of his views and plane, which would confess the error of the past; but are we to suffer forever because the War Department is unwilling to admit that it has erred? Frequently we have had the:opportunity of saving our armies elsewhere by a strong demonstration on Richmond. Nay, we have the opportunity now for removing the seat of war from Washington, and employing our army in Virginia, which has been acting on the defensive ever since the last fatal attack on Fredericksburg. Is Richmond then never to be attacked, merely because an advance by water would be an admission that McCLELLAN was right? Are we to waste months and years of ineffectual contest because we cannot retrace a wrong path? Is the constant, re peated advice and entreaty of our best gene rals, urging the Peninsula as the true road to Richmond, to be forever disregarded Surely the hour demands a consideration of these questions. It is not to be doubted that the abandoning of the Peninsula was a terrible blunder. Why not repair it ?—N. YJourna of Commerce ABSENT FROM THE ARMY The following remarks of the Philadelphia Ledger of Thursday, are to the point, and will apply equally as well in this locality as in the large cities. That paper says :—Tho late call for three hundred thousand more men to supply the places of those whose terms of service are about to expire, is no doubt justi fied by the necessities of the Government.— But if one wore to form his judgment on the subject from the large numbers of officers and privates who are absent from tho army on furloughs, it would not be unreasonable to conclude that the country has more soldiers than it can usefully employ. This city seems to be full of officers and privates who appar ently have no other business here than to promenade the streets and lounge in hotels and bar rooms. Our- exchanges satisfy us that Philadelphia ie not singular in this re spect. PARSON BRO WNLOW. The vulgar and profane Parson Brownlow has " made a good thing" out of his " loyalty" and his conversion to Abolitionism. It is stated that he has received a very large sum of money for his book, his speeches, his lettere, and for subscriptions to his paper to be re established at Knoxville, besides a good salary for a sinecure office. In fact, report says he has become a rioh man—as all favorites of the Administration do. His " loyalty" has cer tainly " paid expenses ;" and he can well afford to," blow for" the Administration. To show what were his opinions of his present employers three years ago, we quote the fol lowing from a prospectus of his paper issued June 30, 1860 : "The Black Republicans, after a stormy session and much abuse of each other, have in the midst of liquor and much hard swearing, nominated Abe Lincoln, the Illinois abolition ist, who was supported by Buchanan's administration thirteen months ago for the Senate, in opposition to Douglas ! On the ticket with this administration pet is Senator Hamlin of Maine, an abolitionist of the John Brown-Helper-school—a man who, for mind, manners, morals, features, mouth, nose, dark skin and woolly head, could be sold in the South for a negro !" ,7th' The President has decided the Misson• ri quarrel against the radicals, refusing to remove Gen. Scaoriiin, but fully sustaining him in hie determined resistance to the revo lutionary and brutal &themes of the Jim Lane cut-throats. • ? iikaNTLVANIA ELECTION OFFICIAL ILkToRNE—COMPLETE 00IINTIES.

The occurrence took place on last election day, in Drumore township, Lan caster comity, and grew out of the arrest of John N Biala op, who bad been drafted, and had reeeived exemption papers, as was alleged. through a mistake or rulerepreeen- Cation. As soon as the arrest had been made, several of the friends of Mr. Bishop crowded around and followed up the officers, and there was a good deal of excitement and some blows were struck. The evidence, however, showed that the excitement . arose out of the aren't at the election poll, and that so concerted effort was Made to take the prisoner from the officers. After the eeirience had been all submitted, District Attorney Coffey diec•utinned the cans against Clarkson Jeffer sea and Edward Ambler. With re• spect to the other defendants, he did not think that enough had hoot, ebowo to Justify their binding over to answer. The Government of the United Stares, he said, was engnerd it an eff.rrt to pot down a gigantic rebellion, and ire officers had no time to devote to each affairs as that under luvestigeti ei had he•rr ahovve to be.

A SCANDALOUS BUSINESS The country may make up its mind, says the World, that the campaign in Virginia is over until after the New York election, for the reason that the army is being depleted of New York soldiers coming home to vote. An order has already been issued by STANTON allowing a furlough to all disabled or sick soldiers of the New York regiments who may at once re turn to their homes, at the public expense, and remain until the 10th of November inst. Of course, only such as are of the right stripe will be allowed to come home, and we further understand that this order applied to ailing soldiers in camp as well as those in hospitals. The object, of course, is to send home every soldier who pledges himself to vote for the Republican ticket. He will be allowed to play sick if his politics are all right. When the war office organ and the adminis tration papers announced that Gen. MEADE could not do anything for three weeks, be cause it would take that much time to repair the railroad destroyed by the rebels, they offered it as an excuse for the enforced idleness of the army, which will really be due to the absence of the New York troops. MARE YOUR VAUNTING TRUE." We hope to see the Curtinites, the Loyal Union Leaguers, who have talked and printed sn much in favor of crushing the wicked re bellion, avail themselves of the opportunity offered by the President's proclamation for " 300,000 more," and rush valiantly to the field. They are in duty bound to do so ;to make their words good, to square their practice with their professions, they must do so. Let 119 see, Curtin polled over 269,000 votes on the 13th. More than cue half of these ought to be gond fighting men between the ages of 21 and 45. At least about 150,000 of them are able bodied, loyal Abolitionists, fit for the field, chuck full of patriotism, in favor of all Lincoln's war measures, wild with anxiety to " crush the rebellion," and panting for Con federate blond " as the heart panteth after the water brook." The quota of Pennsylvania will not exceed 40,000, exactly one third of the 150,000 Shoddy warriors who voted for Curtin. Now, unless these men are liars, hypocrites. base pretenders, or mean, cowardly wretches; Uncle Abraham's requisition should he filled immediately, or at least within one month from their own ranks, without calling upon a single " disloyal Copperhead" to shoulder a musket. They have it in their power now to serve their country, and prove the truth of their assertions at the same time, by falling into the ranks as privates, at $23 or $24 per month, and marching to the front, "away down in Dixie," to shoot, flay, disperse and subjugate the hated Southrons. Will they do it ? A friend looking over our shoulder whispers, " of course they We doubt it, but shall wait to see.—Patriot & Union. THE GREAT UNION VICTORIES.

WHaßraii, The President of the United States, by Prearaination, bearing date on the Seventeenth day of October inst., has called for THREE HUNDRED THOUSAND VOLUNTEERS, to reornit - the regi ments now in the field from the respective Staten: And whereas, By information received this day, the quota of the State of Pennsylvania under said call Is declared to be THIRTY—EIGHT THOUSAND TWO HUNDRED AND SIXTY-EIGHT MEN, (38.268): And whereas', The President, in his said Proclamation, requests the Governors of the respec tive States to assist in raising the force thus re quired:, Now, therefore, I, Andrew G. Curtin, dovernor of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, do earnestly call on the good and loyal freemen of this Common wealth, to enlist in the service of the United State@ under the Proclamation aforesaid,eo that the required quota may be made up before the Fifth day of Jan uary next, on whioh day the President announces that a draft will be commenced for any deficiency that may then exist in the same. The freemen of Pennaylvaniaenlieting under this call will be attached to regiments from this State. All who are willing to enlist are requested to pre sent themselves at once, for that purpose, to the United States Provost Marshals' recruiting and mustering offices, in their respective cities, towns and counties. They will receive the following sums as allowance, pay, premium and bounty, viz: To every recruit who is a veteran volunteer, as defined in General Orders of the War Department of June 25,1863, No. 191, for recruiting veteran volun teers, one month's pay in advance, and a bounty and premium amounting to $402 'to all other recruits,' not veterans, accepted and enlisted as required in existing Orders, one month's pay in advance, and in addition a bounty and premium amounting to $302. Any further information desired can be obtained from the Provost Marshals of the respective districts. In making this appeal to the gO3 and loyal free men of Pennsylvania, I feel entire confidence that it will be effectually responded to. The approaehing expiration of the term of enlistment of the men now . in the field renders it necessary to replenish oar regiments. Let us maintain the glory which their valor and conduct have reflected on the Commor4, wealth, and let our people show, by their prompt:'" mess and alacrity on this occasion, that they have not abated in courage or love of country, or in the determina'ion that the unholy rebellion, already stunned and staggering, shall be utterly crushed and extinguished.

ANDREW G. CURTIN. BY THE GOVERNOR ELI SLIFER, Secretary of Commonwealth SEVENTY.TWO TONS OF METAL AT ONE 6 . HEAT." The Pittsburg Despatch of Monday says: We have already noticed the fact that prepara tions wore progressing at the Fort Pitt Works, in this city, for the manufacture of twenty inch guns; the lathe, patterns, etc., being in an advanced condition. As the experiment of manufacturing a gun of such a calibre, however, is one of great risk, it was deter mined to settle at least one point practically before attempting t, mould the great gun, by melting, at a single heat, nearly the same quantity of metal as would be required for the twenty-inch. For this purpose two guns were moulded of the fifteen inch navy pattern, and each furnished with a twelve inch, in— stead of a fifteen-inch, hollo,w core, making the rough weight of each of the guns nearly as great us that of the columbiad fifteen-inch. These moulds were placed aide by side in the pits of the new foundry, and on Saturday morning five of the furnaces in the foundry were charged, three for the special purpose of casting the great guns, and two'for the ordin ary work of the shop. The respective weights of these charges will give some idea of the capacity of these enormous furnaces, being thirty-fair, nineteen, nineteen, thirteen, and eight and .a half tons, an aggregate of nearly ninety four tons. and a far greater amount of metal, we believe, than was ever reduced in furnaces in a single establishment in one day. Seventy two tons of this metal, being the charge of the three large furnaces, were de signed for the casting of the experimental guns. The metal was lead from each of these furnaces to a large pool equi-distant from each of the moulds, and communicating by two " runners " with the two " gates " of each. About 1 o'clock the three furnaces were tapped in quick succession, and in a moment three streams of molten iron were pouring into the pool, from which, as the metal rose to the level of the opening two fiery lines shut into each of the moulds. Notwithstanding the unusually risky char acter of the experiment on Saturday, every thing passed off successfully, and the streams of hot metal and cold water, crossing and in terlacing on their way, poured into.the moulds without accident. The success of the experi ment abundantly demonstrates the capacity of the works for the manufacture of guns of twenty-inch calibre. The furnaces charged with seventy two tons of metal on Saturday have an aggregate capacity of over ninety tons, and can supply that amount of metal if required, for a single casting. We have seen no reliable statement of the weight of the projected gun, but presume that its rough draft, in the pit. will be between'seventy and eighty tons. The rough weight of the fifteen inch columbiad is about thirty-seven tons, and the new gun will be nearly twice as heavy." THE HABEAS CORPUS When the P.etident's proolariiation appear ed, we pointed out the result which would inevitably follow from the suspension of the writ of habeas corpus. Our predictions have been fully verified. Our exchanges are filled with accounts of the arrest, as deserters, of men who were never in the army, and in no way liable to render military service. In one instance, as we learn from the Concord Patriot, three men were arrested in Canterbury on Sabbath morning, and handcuffed, and carried to Concord, where they were looked up in the State Prison until the next day, when they established the fact that they were not desert. ers and were discharged. In another cage, a young man was taken out of his bed at mid-. night and carried to the station house, until ten o'clock next day, when he proved that he was an alien and obtained his discharge. An other victim was not so fortunate, and was carried from Chicago to Washington and then left to pay his own fare back. The temp tation to make these illegal arrests is the promise of a reward of thirty dollars, and as the men who are employed to act as detectives are generally vagabonds of the lowest order, no man is safe For a poor man to be dragged away handcuffed like a felon, to camp, hun dreds of miles from his home, is no trifling hardship, supposing that ho is so fortunate as then to escape.; but in too many eases it may be feared that justice will never be done, and men will be forced into the ranks . who could establish their right to a discharge to the satisfaction of any judge in the land: And yet Mr. Lincoln asks us to give thanks to GOD because " the laws have been respected and obeyed.”—Phil'a. Age. WE WADE THRJUGFI BL3oo.—The New York New, in receiving the results of the late elections says : " We are destined to wadeon through blood to the abolition goal. It is determined that the war proceed until the spirit of hate, eter nalized by the memory of innumerable battle. fields, shall build its impenetrable hones within the Southern heart, and forbid for ever, not only the union of the sections, but their Rood will as independent. powers.— fixed that contractors shall grow rich and the country shalt groy poor ; _that de magogues shall bask in politi cal_sunshine and the people cower under the frown "of authority and crouch before military despots.
