"CLING TO THE CONSTITUTION, AS THE SHIPWRECKED MARINER CLINGS PO THE LAST PLANK, WHEN NIGHT AND THE TEMPEST CLOSE AROUND HIM."—DernEL WEBSTER. Notice. THE LANCASTER INTELLIGENCER will pass into the hands of a new firm on the first day of July next. The new firm will be COOPER, SAN DERSON & Co. The paper after that time will be issued as the Daily and Weekly Intelligeneer. The different committees in the townships having the interests of the enterprise in charge are requested to make report as speedily as possible. to 11. B. SWARR, Esq., so that the final ar rangements can be consummated. sr. The above announcement will show the necessity of a prompt settlement of the outstanding debts for subscription, advertising and, jobbing due the present firm—at least by the Ist of July when the • paper passes into other hands. We owe debts which must be paid, and to enable us to do so it is necessary that we should receive what is justly coming to us. Nor need delinquents wait to have their bills presented to them. This, in many cases, would be inconvenient and expensive, and in others impracticable. Those who reside in the county can send by a neighbor or call in person at the office and settle up, and those resid ing out of the county or State can remit by mail at our risk. But we want to square up our books at the earliest practicable moment, and our friends should attend to the matter without delay. The Virginia Campaign There is but little intelligence of a reliable character from the Army of Virginia, except the fact that, after four weeks trial, General GRANT has abandoned the North Anna route to Richmond and has moved his army on to Pamunkey river, where he was at last accounts about eighteen or twenty miles north-east of Richmond. He has thus reached the point where General MCCLELLAN was two years ago, but with the loss of five times as many men as the latter did in his progress up the Peninsula to that point. The Confederates, it is believed, will hardly oppose any serious obstacle to General GRANT'S progress, before he reaches the Chickahominy Swamps, which are about ten miles from Pamunkey. From General BUTLER'S command there is nothing new. He is still closely besieged in his entrench ments at Bermuda Hundred, and the Confederate sharpshooters are becoming very troublesome, coming close up to the breastworks and picking off his men behind them. There is nothing additional, since SIGEL'S defeat, from the Shenandoah Valley, nor have we any news of importance from General SHERMAN in Georgia. Sumner Skinned We invite public attention •to a short speech of Senator POWELL, of Kentucky, published on our. first page. It is oue of the most scathing productions we have read in a long time, and the Abolition Senator from Massachusetts must have liter ally wilted. under the merited casti gation administered to him by the bold and eloquent Kentuckian. Mr. Marble's Letter. The letter of MANTON MARBLE, Esq., editor of the New York World, to President LINCOLN, which we pub lish in another column, will arrest more than the usual attention from the public. It is a scathing and powerful production, its forcible style and fearless denunciation equal ing the vigorous invective employed . by the author of the Junius letters to the Duke of Grafton. It must be a bitter dose for Father Abraham. • What a Farce! We learn from the New York Herald that the "loyal " subjects of Old Abe in South Carolina, com posed of army officers, contractors, camp followers and negroes, held a "Mass Convention," at Beaufort, on the 17th inst., and appointed del egates to the Abolition National Convention at Baltimore, on the 7th of June. The delegates selected to attend and vote for Lincoln are : General Saxton, Military Governor; A. D. Smith, Tax Collector; Major Parker, Paymaster U. S. Army ; followd next in order by E. S.

Poor Banks The truth of the old adage, that when a man begins to go down hill every body is disposed to give him a kick, is fully exemplified in the military career of NATHANIEL P. BANKS, one of Mr. Lincoln's politi cal Generals. He was badly beaten and driven out of the Shenandoah Valley two years ago, failed in his invasion of Texas in 1863, utterly routed, with the loss of halt his army and all his supplies, on the Red River during the present cam paign, and, as a consequence, su perseded in that command, and now, to cap the climax, as the subjoined extract will show, kicked and cuffed by the Philadelphia Bulletin (a loyal paper) in its issue of Thursday evening last: The series of disasters in Lmisiana, of which General Banks had the direction, is over. After losing thousands of men, several gunboats, and a number of transports, and after furnishing the enemy with about fifty pieces of artillery better than any he possessed, and which were used most effectively against us, General Banks has evacuated the whole region of Louisiana west of the Mississippi. In the whole history of the war there has been no failure so complete, if we except the failure of the satne general in the Valley of Virginia. With the highest respect fir General Bank's private character, and f.r his ability as a statesman and a civil fficer, we insist that his incapacity as a military com— mander has now been so thoroughly demon— strated, that he is not fit to be trusted at the head of an army, and we hope that he may be allowed to remain in retirement while the war lasts. Sensible Advice The Albany Argus advises the Democratic members to abandon their seats in Congress in a body and go home to "protect their rights. - It says very truly that they are powerless for good there. The struggle they lalVe made to restore to the chambers their representative character, and to make the legisla tive body the organ of the people, under the Constitution, has been in vain ; and equally fruitless has been the effort to expose the corruption or to correct abuses, or to restrain or punish usurpations. We think the advice of the Argus is proper under the circumstances. The Democratic members of Con gress are in a minority in both branches of Congress and can ac complish nothing by remaining there. Better give a loose rein to the Abolitionists, and let them drive the machine unmolested. If this were done we should sooner see the I end of our troubles, than by any effort made on the part of Demo cratic statesmen to arrest its accel erated speed to destruction. The Next Presidency Four years ago the party now in power complained bitterly against the policy of the Democratic party and clamored loudly for a change. They promised to lessen the taxes, to ! give freedom of speech and the press, to ensure peace and prosperity, to secure economy and reform, and generally to enhance the prosperity and glory of the nation. Their pol icy, though evidently sectional and tending to revolution and civil war, they declared would produce no such results. Four years have passed away and the result of their policy has be come a matter of history. The peo ple by looking at the country as it i is, can now determine the immense disasters of the change, and as another Presidential election ap l'proaches it should be the highest and holiest aim of every honest man !to struggle to reinstate the wise policy of the past, and to avoid fur ther excesses and ruin. Who is not now sick at heart as he contemplates the ruined condition of his country, and who will be so dead to patriot ! ism as not to lend a helping hand in making a change for its restoration. Right! Governor SEYMOUR has directed the District Attorney of New York to procure indictments before the Grand Jury against all who were engaged in any way in the seizure of the offices of The World and Journal of Commerce. Wonder if this will include Messrs. LINCOLN, SEWARD and STANTON ? The out rage was committed, we presume, by their order, and therefore they should be held responsible. PLAIN TALK Mr. CLAY, of Kentucky, one of the mew. bars of Congress eleoted by the influence of the bayonet, said in a recent debate in the House that " the property of his constituents had been stolen from their plantations—not only negroes, but stock and everything else. The negroes which were valuable were taken into the military service, while the useless slaves, and women and children aro supported at the expense of government without a parti cle of law. The government protected .its officers in stealing negroes. He knew it to be true. He had suffered himself, and to the truth of this he would swear in a court of justice. He asked for nothing but what tha law and the constitution gave him, and when these rights were trampled under foot he would raise his voice against it." He also said that " the contrabands were dying in camp of all diseases ever described or imag ined. They were rolling in filth." And ad dressing the radicals, he addled " Such is the result of your system. You care no more for a negro than you do for a horse. You are purchasing these negroes with bountier to save white men. My patience is worn out I would rather be a slave holder than robber, stealing all over the country. The system inaugurated was worse than the original eye tem of slavery. More money is required to carry it out than it costs to clothe the slaves of all the South." ARCHBISHOPS APPOINTED The Rt. Rev.

HOW TO RESTORE THE UNION The New Orleans correspondent of the New York Tribune thus states an unpalatable truth: "If our friends at - the North choose to amuse themselves with the idea that L iana is reclaimed and again loyal, we ought not to complain of so cheap an entertainment. In truth. under the mild sway of Governor Hann, who was elected by several thousand majority, there is so much of Louisiana in the Union as is covered by our pickets. Outside of New Orleans, no Union officer or citizOn can ride alone in safety two miles.from the Mississippi, except where our organized sol diery move." That is the way war will restore the Union. Vice la humbug ! Disfranchising White Men. We have always predicted that the next step of the Abolition party would be to deprive poor white men of voting. The other day, in the Senate of the United States, the proposition was actually made.— Senator MORRILL, of Vermont, pro posed that the right of suffrage in the District of Columbia should be given to all whites and blacks who possessed a freehold of $2.50, and denied to all others ! Many of the Abolition Senators were afraid to meet the issue, in this form, just at the present time. Mr. COWAN, of Pennsylvania, protested that new and distracting questions should not be brought forward now. The evi dent intention is..to postpone this matter until Lincoln is re-elected, if he can be, when look out for the dis franchisement of poor white men.— , In no other way can they hope to per manently bind upon the shoulders of labor the burden of their gigantic public debt. In no other way Can white men be reduced to- that con , dition of ierfdom that already exists in some, of the military departments now presided over by Laticothes satiaps. LOCAL DEPARTNE3rr., NOBTEtauP • ii LECru . iiE.—The third' lee tura of the course, under the auspices of theung Men's Democratic Association, was deli red at Fulton Hall, on Thursday evening last, by (iv? Noanntor,Esq., of Philadelphia; and notwithstanda , ing the rainy, dismal dreariness of LIR night those who attended (among whom were a goodly number of ladies, who were not to 'be deterred from hearing the truth by the fury of the elements) were suffici ently repaid by the brilliant mental feast which was given them within the walls of the. hall. The audience, however, was good sized and made up iu enthusiasm what it lacked in numbers. The subject, "How a free people lose their Liber ties," was handled in a masterly manner, and could not fail to change the opinions of the most dogmatic ' adininietrationist, nor fail to awaken the more de based and supine of the same belief in this most truculent and demoralized age to a fearful sense of what has been accomplished in forging the chains of the past three years, and what may be expected if a continued submission is guaranteed to blast the ' hopes and aspirations of a free-born, once proud, high-toned, tyrant-scorning and defying people.— The prophetic mirror was unveiled batore their eyes. The bold, earnest, heart-awakening and soul-stir ring eloquence of the speaker touched sympathetic hearts, producing its proper effect, and the applause at times was almost deafening. New England's sophistries, cunning, fanatical theories, and pocket filling warriors were fearlessly exposed ; a want of faith in Chase's irredeemable currency and in the payment of our fabulous-sized debt was apparent ; the greenback patriots and shoulder-strapped lack eye, liveried tools of a would-be despot, received impressive hints ; the word "loyalty" woo explained to the satisfaction of all who had any patriotism within their breasts; the preachers of war, mam mon and all their necessary unrighteou.sneases, who are bringing the very name of Religion and its holy mission into derision, were shown up to the con tempt which they so justly deserve ; and the Old Joker of the White House received that attention whash his hypocrisy and vulgarity necessitates. Retaliation for outrages on the persons and pro perly of Democratic citizens was forcibly commented upon. The crawling sycophancy of Lincoln and Seward to the French Emperor in the Mexican im broglio, and the degrading position of the United States in the eyes of Europa through these worthies' doings, received merited castigation. The election of Negro delegates from South Caroline to the Bal timore Lincoln Convention of 'June 7th was spoken of in such a manner as to mantle the cheek of every white man with shame when reading the infamous proceedings of the Miscegenation Convention at Beaufort. h nth Express' reporter denies the truth of this. For th , , proof of it he is referred to the New York Herald of Thursday last, where he will find the names of the delegates as well as the pro ceedings of the disgusting affair. j Be intimated that Peace (horrible word to Shod dyitee) was the aim, the hope of the country, and the only ground-work of a necessary reconstruction of this now divided nation, dissevered for New Eng land's benefit, to enable her to coin 'filthy lucre out of the blood, tears and decaying flesh of the people, and to soothe the ears of her manufacturers so that they would sleep to the delightful music of the sighs and groans of the wounded and dying. The finished eloquence and incontrovertible logic of the address was incomparable nod worthy of the high encomi ums passed upon it. Mr. N's appearance is very striking and prepos sessing, of fine physique and graceful manner.— Duriog his stay in the city he woe the guest of IL B. Swears, Esq., and after the lecture he spent a short tior,, at the hospitable mansions of lien. lino. M. STiriNuali and WILLIAM CARPENTER, Esq., where his social qualities and conversation did not fail to confirm the impression which his lecture had made. We trust to hear his voice soon again in our good old Democratic city. DEATLI or JAMES L. YoUNGMAN —Mr. JAMES L. YOuNGAIAN, for many years the courteous and efficient Baggage Agent of the Pennsylvania Rail road Company at the depot In this city, died, after a lingering illness, on Friday morning last, at his residence un West Chesnut street. Mr. Y., because of his generous, warm-hearted disposition, had a host of devoted friends, who will long regret his de parture to the unseen world of spirits. f moral took place on Sunday afternoon, and was largely at tended. the remains were interred at the Lancaster Cemetery. C 'BTUS CHRISTI —Corpus Christi, on Sun day last, was appropriately commemorated by the congregation of the St. Joseph's German Catholic Church, St. Joseph's street. A procession took place at 9f o'clock, A. M., in which the Sunday School children led off, each little girl being dressed in white, wearing a wreath upon her head, and carry ing a small basket of flowers, which were strewed along the route. These were followed by the Socie ties of the church, the choir ("haunting a hymn of praise, the pastor, Rev. Mr. SCHWARTZ, bearing the crucifix, and walking under a canopy borne by four members, and the congregation generally bringing up the rear. Interesting religious services were con ducted at different altars on the route, and whilst the procession was moving the bells of the church kept up a merry peal, The services were witnessed by a great number of people. LITERARY EXHIBITIUN. — Tue 29th anniver sary of the Diagnothian Literary Society of Frank lin and Marshall College took place at Fulton Hall, on Friday evening last, and came off with the usual eclat attending College exhibitions, The stage was beautifully decorated with flags and hung with fes toons and wreathe of evergreens, surmounted with the Society's motto, "Virtue crowns its followers," in Greek letters. The weather being propitious, a I crowded audience testified the interest felt in the exercises, and the numerous baguets thrown from fair hands to the speakers of the evening must have been exceedingly flattering and inspiriting to the young gentlemen who were the recipients of the same. They all acquitted themselves handsomely. The first exercise was a Prologue, written by Rev. Samuel Phillips and delivered by Faxxx E. LICIT ! 'TY. Unfortunately, we were not present in time to hear it, and cannot therefore judge of its merits, but have no doubt that Mr. L. did not let the fair fame of his native city suffer in his hands, and feel confident that he did full justice to the subject. The next address on the “Metamorphism of Uov ernm'ent," by H. U. BRUNNER, of Norristown, was able, fervent, and enunciated the true ideas which thought, stun) , and a white man's brain alone are able to produce. Of course some of his manly re marks were exceptional to the Shoddyites present, who endeavored to express their disapprobation thereat—but we imagine the attempt was a failure, for their geese-like propensities were drowned in thunders of applause. They had better subside on such occasions, and with more propriety reserve their blacksnake hisses for their den in north Queen street. Mr. L. WANNER'S Oration on "Dante" and his . _ inspired poetry was peculiarly Arm and, perhaps, the gem of the evening in that special line of delin eating the true poet and hie poetical heroism.— Dante's love for Beatrice was of course touchingly portrayed, and his tiod-like poet nature extolled.— We think, perhaps, Messrs. BRUNNER. and WA.N.NER. were the best speakers of the evening, and in ges tures and easy manner they were to all appearance faultless. Mr. JONATHAN CESSNA'S Oration on the "Inva sion" was a somewhat flowery history of last year's raid and the battle of Gettysburg, but the imagina tion of the speaker will not be borne out by the facts of the ease. We were surprised at some of the statements made, such as' that the rebels devastated cities and towns and committed robberies as they entered our State, and • that Gettysburg was the Waterloo of America. Now the facts are known to all, that the discipline of the Confederate army was perfect, that no outrages or destruction of property were committed, except in one instance, and that Waterloos have multiplied in infinite number, if the Gettysburg battles be designated as such, as for instance the late terrific fighting in the battles of the Wilderness. He also made an allusion to this being a war for j reedom, by which he doubtless meant a war for the freedom of the neg,ro ! Mr. C's address no doubt delighted the Loyalists present, as it astonished us. His language was fine, voice good, and! he was generally correct in the minor particu lars of the oration. "Columbus," by EDGAR C. HEED, a eulogy on the discoverer of America, whose fertile mind, indomita ble energy and fearless courage achieved at last the success which for years seemed hopeless and denied to him. Mr. It is a pleasant speaker and gave a glowing, truthful tribute to woman, who is always the helpmeet of man, and especially his consoler and supporter in the time of despair, as witness Isabella's sacrifices to ensure Columbus the means to perfect his gigantio undertaking. The oration of Mr. It was very gracefully delivered. "Monumentum Perrenius .‘Ere," by H. C. Barr BAKER, an oration on monuments, theoretical and otherwise, requiring a strained effort to divine what the supject would finally lead'to t. but as usual the unfortunate Abolition proclivities. of the speaker were irrepressible and came out before many sen tences had passed from his lips. It seems strange that such a pleasant fellow as CLAY should be so full of the hallucination of the past few years as not to be able to keep quiet for this occasion only. He, however, found a good many congenial spirits who warmly applauded his remarks, and the Demo crats present, being the natural friends of free speech, and unacquainted with the accomplishment of hissing, (the science which belongs to that party which absorbs all the honor and decency of society,) listened in dignified contempt. The redeeming features of the oration were forgotten, for brass ap pears to be more enduring than monuntents of the past, and the favorite theme of the speaker than the warning voice of the buried greatness of a Webster or a Clay. "Poland," an Oration by Mr. J. J. PENNEpACK ER, was the concluding exercise. This somewhat hackuied theme seemed to gain new life, vigor and original thoughts from Mr, 8., and but for the low toned voice ot the orator, which prevented hearing Many of the sentiments, would have been received with all doe appreciation.

We observe some indications of the preva• leneo 'of Copperheadism in distinguished. 11-ipublican quarters. For example: The Supreme Court of Vermont has declared the soldiers' voting bill of that State unconstitutional, so far as it relates to the election or State officers." Again, Senator HALE, of New Hampehire,in speaking in the Senate, the other day, of the eff a•t in Congress to annihilate the State banks, said the object would be more easily. under stood if the measure were put in this form : •' And be it farther enacted, That all those instruments heretofore known as State consti tutions be, and they are hereby, abolished." And again, Senator DOOLITTLE, of Wiscon— sin, on the same occasion, said : "I do not yield to my honorable friend from New Hampshire in my sincere respect as well as my deep and settled conviction in the necessity of this government, as well as the Stare governments themselves, maintaining, preserving, and defending all the rights of the States under the constitution of the United States. I believe in State rights,:eir; that they are expressly mentioned, reserved, protected, and defended in the constitution itself, and as they are reserved by our coustitution, protect ed and - defended, I believe in those rights, and as a citizen of the United States and as a citizen of a State, I feel bound to respect and to defend them." Now, all this is Copperheadism in its most malignant form. Neither 'Vallandigham nor Powell nor Fernando Wood has ever breathed worse Copperheadism. Can it be possible that the Supreme Court of Vermont, and Senator Hale of New Hampshire, and Senator Doolittle of Wisconsin, are turning Copperheads ? BU rLER The New York Times yesterday devoted more than half a column to show the utter in competency of Benjamin F. Butler as a mili tary commander. His recent defeat in the expedition south of Richmond after his vain glorious despatCh that General Grant will , not be tr , übled with any further reinforce ments to Lee from Beauregard's forces," has clearly demonstrated his entire ignorance of military matters. He lost the first battle t f the war at Big Bethel—since which time he has been engaged in cotton speeulatimi at New Orleans, making war on dogs at Norfolk, and playing the petty tyrant generally, when ever an, opportunity offered to display his peculiar ability in this line. It is difficult to tell what the Administration will do with him now. By all odds the meanest, the most cor• rupt, and the most degraded being that ever wore a shoulder strap, in this or any other country, it . can scarcely be possible that any farther 'confidence can be reposed in him by Mr. Lincoln ; and we would look for his com plete disgrace, if it had not been for the start- I lmg announcement in the Time's article con •temning him, that "possibly the Government has not felt at liberty to govern itself by purely military considerations—has felt that, to avoid ill-feeling and disc rd. some heed inust be patd to political favorites." This frightful acknow ledgement on the part of Mr. Seward's organ, leavt.s us almost without hope as regards the future status of this miserable charlatan, and, at the same time, indicates that the had men at Washington have been thinking much more of their party than of the country: Under such a state of things even Butler may look for preferment, and thousands more pre cious'lives may he sacrificed by the retention in the service of one who is a disgrace to the country and is held in scorn and contempt by the whole civilized world.—Phila. Age of Friday. THE DANISH WAR--AN ARMISTICE The last foreign arrivals bring us the im p'rtant intelligence that an armistice has been effected between the Germans and Danes. It was procured by the interfere . nce of Great Britain, which ordered a heavy fleet to the Baltic and threatened to attack the Germans in ease they refused an armistice. A Copen hagen dispatch announces that a truce for one month, from the 12th,,has been concluded. The allies will remain in possession of Jut land and the Danes of Alsen. The blockade of the German ports is raised. The Confer ence met again on the 12th, and after sitting three hours wljourned until the 18th of May. TARMY CORRESPONDENCE. PREIEDOINOP THE PRESS.
