The Republicans profess to be for the ti nion now, but their pro fessions are worth nothing in the face of the great fact that the Union has fallen apart in their hands. l's7o man, therefore, who is truly devoted to the Union, ought to hesitate about making up his mind to act with the Democratic party at the approaching election. The Republicans, after four years of trial, have proved their inability or their un willingness to close up the breach which was opened by their accession to power. Give the Democrats a chance, and they will close it in less than six months, with honor to the whole country, and in a way that will carry joy to the heart of every true Union man. Supw Thirty Cents! , Thirty cents per pound is the Hon. THADDEUS STEVENS' price for sugar „which used to sell for eight. Mechanics and laboringmen who would rather pay thirty cents than eight for their sugar, will vote for Mr. STEVENS. The Price of Coal. All poor men who want the price of coal raised, can have their wishes grati fied by voting for la.wcorac. Lincoln and the Negroes. If the white people of the United States have not made up their mind to exchange places with ,the negroes, and allow the latter to become the ruling race, they had better cast their votes at the next election for a man who will not hob-nob with negroes in the Presi dential mansion. The ambitious black amoors who have been permitted to shed their perfume in the gorgeous apart ments of the White House, need but a little more encouragement to induce them to lay claim to the highest . offieial honors of the land. Near the close of the last session of Congress, and the first time in the his tory of the country, a negro made his appearance at one of the " receptions " given by the President, and was re ceived by Mr. LINCOLN with marked cordiality. With an air of conscious superiority he elbowed his way through the mass of " white folks" then and there assanbled, his flaming eyeballs rivalling the brilliancy of the chande liers, and his double row of shining ivories looking like a new steel trap. - _ On the Fourth of July last, the spruce young darkies connected with the seve ral African Sunday Schools at Wash ington held their " celebration " in the beautiful grounds of the Executive Mansion, by permission of Mr. LIN vot.N.

Some weeks ago it was stated that Mr. Liscoi,N had invited a negro to ride with him in his carriage, hut we do not know whetlwr this was true Or not, and therefore wc will not assert it as a feet, though it seems probable enough.

In the midst of this loud roar of stay at-home patriots fir a iiiintinuance of war, how gratefully must Iteneral Nic- Ci.m.f.A.N's invocation of the " spirit of conciliation and compromise" fall upon the ears of every man in whose bosom there heats a heart alive to the emotions that do honor to human nature. This gallant soldier has seen enough of war to appreciate its horrors; and whilst lie would tint shirk front the most trying duties of the military pro fession to which he has been bred, his good heart and his equally good ]lead lead him to give " conciliation and com promise" the preference over the sword in the adjustment of our national troubles. WE re-publish in another colunm an editorial from the Nutional IntaligPnCCl on the nomination of Gen. McClellan. This able, time-honored and always courteous journal has been the organ of the Whig party and of Whig Presidents at Washington for nearly half a century. We commend the article to the Old Line Whigs of Lancaster county as es pecially worthy of their attentive con sideration. A New "Government Stamp." It is said that "the government" (A. LINCOLN) stamped his .foot violently when he heard of Gen. AICCLELLAN'S nomination. Mr. Slum and Public Debt. We gave, the other day, an incident in the public life of the Hon. THAD- i DEUS STEVENS, which we found record- ed in the first volume of the `! Proceed- ings and Debates of the Convention to Amend the Constitution of Pennsyl vania." We now give another from the same source Theappointrnent of Committees being Under consideration in the Convention, Mr_STEVENs Moved to raise " A Com mittee on tin' subject - of Public Loans and the State Debt," and upon this motion he made the following remarks . : Mr. STEVENS said that I l e thought this was as important a subject as any that had been brought helot , • the I 'on vent nd as it was the determination of the body to introduce all important matters and refer them to the state ling committees, he thought he might as well bring in this one and have •it take the same course. Ile thought it WaS high time that WI, should ask the people of the Commonwealth whether it was not pro per to add some constitutional limits to the burdens, in the shape of debt, which the Legislature had imposed upon the people and their posterity. Ile• thought that it ought to go to a committee. in order that the subject shouhl be iuquired into. He had no hesitation in t•X lirliSSing his opinion that a constituttomn Unlit should be placed to the State data attire the Legislature should increase it. Mr. Cox, or Somerset, warmly sup ported the proposition of Mr. STEVENS, remarking that if the Legislature should "go on for the next six years as they had done at the last session, appropriat ing immense sums. the State would lie in debt to the amount id! fifty millions! Then the que,ition arose, land it was a tter deserving of scrious ether that amount was not t(g) much for the people to have hanging over their heads '2" NVe have not at hand the means of stating what was the amount of the State debt at the 0111 e When Messrs. :. 4 1 - EvENs and Cox prorostql to lin - lit : it by a constitutional impediment to its expansion beyond certain bounds. It was probably not over thirty or thirty five ; but it was or sufficient nnuznittnie to give serious uneasiness to these gentleimli, Nvhilst the possibility of its increasi. to tiny millions created in their minds the gravest apprehen sions for the welfare or the people. They were right. .\ debt of fifty mil lions was a thing to be .Irezuled.

"fliese 111(1 other articles that are needed in every house cost four times as much now as they did when the gl•ver11111011I Was administered by the Democrats. But it will be said that the farmer gets more for his flour, and the mechanic and tric—ift , ioring man get higher wages, than they did under Democratic rule. This is true. But the farmer don't get nutr tittles as touch for his wheat, nor does the mechanic or the laboring man got four times as much for a day's work. Therefore the rise in prices is unequal and operates to the disadvantage of the farmer, the mechanic and the laboring When wheat was one dollar and coffee twelve and a half cents, one bushel of wheat would buy eight pounds of coffee. But with wheat at two dollars and a halt, and coffee at fifty - -five cents, a bushel of \VhCal will buy but little over four pounds of coffee. And so with wages. The man who got one dollar fora day's work tinder Mr. BUCHANAN'S administration, could buy nearly twice as much coffee, sugar, syrup and mus lin with the proceeds of his day's labor, as can be bought by the man who gets t wo dollars a day under Mr. LINCOLN. The only three Ex-Presidents now living are with the Democracy and M'Clellan, namely : Millard Fillmore, Franklin Pierce and James Buchanan. The administration of all these worthy and honored gentlemen was character ized by peace, prosperity and general happiness. It is certainly a cheering sign to see all of them arrayed on the side of that party which is the only true Union party of the country, and the only one capable of bringing back the country to its pristine condition, Four years ago. It is but a little space in time, and yet what a weary length of years it seems. Who does not feel, as he looks back, that it is the longest, dreariest period of his life? Why, it seems almost an age since this war be gan. Four years ago this was not only the freest and the happiest land on. God's green earth, but the most peaceful. Four years ago States, new "discordant, dis severed, belligerent, and drenched in fraternal blood," were united in friendly ties—component partiOf a most perfect Government composo of independent States, banded togetar by common con sent. Four years ago this nation was strong enough to bid defiance to a world in arms, and had never cowered before any foreign foe. Four years ago the men of the South and the men of the North were brethrO, all united and linked together into one 'family by in numerable kindred ties. Four years ago no hostile armies Were arrayed ln con flict, and no brother had imbrued his hands in a brother's blood. Four years:ago more than a million of stal wart men, who hive died in the shock of a most unnatural strife, or from dis eases incident to the camp and field, were brimfull 'of vigorous and lusty life. Four years ago many thousands of women, who now wear the sad dra pery of a widow's weeds, sat in calm joy in happy homes. Four years ago many More thousands,•who have since been made orphans, rejoiced in a father's pro tecting care. Four years ago thous ands c ot' fond parents, who mourn brace sons lost, looked forward to their future with hope and pride.— Four years ago this land knew not what debt or taxation meant. Four years ago the currency of this land was gold and silver. Four years ago wages were hot ter, in proportion, than they are to-day. Four years ago a day's labor - would huy ten yards of muslin, and other things in proportion. Four years ago! Who can enumerate the blessings of four years ago, or picture properly the contrast with the miserable present? Four years ago a sectional party had not triumphed, and Abraham Lincoln was not Presi dent. "Dick Bang the Weaver." Hon.

We Cannot See 11! Some of our Democratic friends are inclined to the opinion that General McCLELLAN, in his letter of accept ance, repudiates the platform adopted the Convention which nominated him. We cannot, for the life of us, see 'any disagromnent between the two. If there be any at all, which we do not admit, it must be a " distinction with out a ditThrence," and it would puzzle a Philadelphia lawyer to point it out. Both are for peace, compromise and a restored Union under the Constitution —differing somewhat inphraseology, it is true, but both aiming at the same glorious result. There is no conflict be tween the platform and the letter, and we are very sure nothing of the kind was intended by General MCCLELLAN.

Our opponents seem to think they can carry the coming Presidential elec tion by howling for a continuance of the terrible war into which they haye plunged this nation, and by continually crying out "no compromise with traitors." Now, as in the past,: they, preach a gospel of hate alone. They denounce the traitors of the South and those whom they characterize as "home traitors" in the self-same breath, and think to terrify the Democracy, and dragoon the people into the support again of the wretched creature who has forced himself upon them as a condi , date, by cursing "copperheads" with a rapidity of utterance, and an unvarying style of terms and tone of - voice which would do credit to a parrot educated by a swearing sailor. The harangues which we hear from their orators are brimfull of wordy fury and sounding war cries, but utterly destitute of rea son. They boast of their devotion to the Union, but constantly exhibit a spirit of intolerant bitterness,whose ex istence in the _Northern mind, if recipro cated in that of the South, would of itself utterly and forever preclude any hole of a future reunion of the people of the Note, now so unhappily divided. They flippantly ery out, Hang every Traitor," when they very well know that their mad policy of universal emancipation, and their miserable schemes for the elevation .of the negr have mole the people of the south a unit, and transfohned almost every man, woman and chill in the whole of that land into what they call traitors. With their cry of " no compromise with traitors" how can a re-union be possible under such circumstances? 'What are we to do when we haVe to deal with a vast region entirely filled with traitors; when, too, the problem is to unite that people Willi us again under a represen tative Mrtu of government? Is that a wise course of policy which, while seek ing a re-union with them, continues to enkindle to ;:reater fierceness the Fires of hatred which already born so in tensely in their hearts? With the con tinued cry ()I' " no compromise with traitors" how can any torn) of re-union become possil4l under existing. circum- stances? \V hen the di tli‘rent Southern States seceded We all 1.;110W that there was a very strong Union sentiment ill every one of them, and we can all remember how confidently it was claimed by every itepuldican paper_in the land, that in every one of the seceding StateS, except perhaps :--otith Carolina, the ordinance of set ession hail been forced upon the people by the leaders, against the will and wish of a majority of the voters. In the early stages of this war, in the days when it was declared to he a war Mr the Union alone, :1101 wlien it was not opposed, hut aided by the Demo cracy of the North, We heard much about the rupture with which the mi -1 • pearance of the old flag was hailed 1i2,; enthusiastic thousands wherever our to mil's advanced.

It was the emancipation policy of the party in power, their infernal schemes for elevating the negro, which cannever he done except at the expense of the white race, that divided Northern senti ment, while it crushed out all Union feeling in the South ; made that whole people a unit against us; increased the Southern armies by many thousands; kept their ranksconstantly full; inspired them with that hatred which added to their formidahle character as a foe ; pro longed this eruct war, gave to it a fero city it would not otherwise assumed ; cost us the lives of multitudes of brave men who might have been spared; turnlll (my victorie, , into defeats; ren- tiered our conquests of no avail ; in ereased our debt to its present enormous magnitude; rendered necessary the grievous taxes kith which the people are now oppressed ; and is that alone which 11110 St:lll,k ill the way of an honorable ending of the eontest. While the pre-ent Administration czy " No Compromise with Traitors," toot insist upon the terms laid down by Mr. Lin coln in his foolish epistle "To N\llolll it May Concern," there can be neither peace nor a reunion of the States. \Ve must come to compromise at last. n no other way can existing difficulties be adjusted, and the Unian restored. Even Mr. Lincoln had sense enough to see it when he said in his inaugural ad dress: •• Soopo,o , you yo iryr, you ' , tun" ona ifeb 1,1.1 11,! a , !mitt urr rllll,•,riew .11?1, •• In retiliiy, the er'.ol .

The candi dates are now fairly before the people ; and no man who has a proper regard for the good sense of the American peo ple can be doubtful of the result for a ! moment. The masses, led and influenced by the sensible men of the country, will rally to the standard with a unanimity and an enthusiasm such as the country never witnessed before. Let ABRAHAM LiNcoLN and his crew of office-holders clear the track. ADDRESS FROM THADDEUS STEVENS. ILE FAVORS NEGRO EQUALITY _AND . . REPUDIATES THE UNION THADDEUS STEVENS, on the occasion of his renomination for Congress by the Republican County Convention, which assembled in this city, on the 7th, read before that body a carefully prepared address ; which is decidedly a significant, document, coming, as it does, from the man who is the acknowledged leader of his party in the popular branch of Con gresS. In this address, while speaking for himself, Mr. STEVENS must, and of right should be, regarded as uttering what he knows to be the sentiments of his party. In it he enunciates the doc trines which they hold, and sets out the principles which they would see pre vail; and in it we find the harshest charges which the Democratic party has ever made against its present op ponests abundantly verified by the plain, distinct, and authoritative utter ances of this representative man, Tn A DEL'S STEVENS. When we have charged the party now in power with designing to elevate the negro to oh equality with the white man they have heretofore been accus tomed indignantly todeny it. They can no longer do so. THADDEUS STEVENS read to them Yesterday the true Repub lican doctrine from his carefully pre pared manuscript. In it we find the following dear enunciation of the pur poses and designs of his own party, put in the shape of a complaint against those whom he denounces as ('opperheads, and falsely stigmatises as sympathizing with treason. Mark his language: "Others, iDemocrats,) with the hearts of "tyrants within them, wish them the He "toils) success, lest A. 1,1. MEN should en " joy the rights of humanity, and beeome "EQUAL BEFoRE THE LAW." Is not that plain enough in all con science? Can any one desire a more explicit enunciation of the disgusting and odious doctrine of negro equality than is to he found in the,above extract, '' A EI, MEN Etlt AI.ItEFORE'I'IIE E.\.W !" 'an any man he so wilfully blind as not to see it a glance what that means? Does it not clearly imply the right to vote, the right to hold the right to sit on juries and decide Ow causes or white men—all the rights and privileges which white men en joy by virtue of law aild citizenship? Make the negro your “equal before Mr law," and you must grant him the saute rights and privileges which you enjoy yourself, and which you have hereto fore denied him by the Constitution of .your State and hy your laws, which confer the rights and privileges of citizenship in Pennsylvania upon white men :done. Let no nom who votes the Abolition ticket, or the Pepuldiean ticket, the can have his rhoiee of names, no man who supports THAD. STEVENS in the cumin! , mutest, or that other friend of the negro and enemy of the white Map, ABRAHAM LINCI,I.N, dare to say that he does not vote tbr negro e( itedity. lie cannot say to without uttering an un truth of whirl/ it will un . 101Iger he (In- Cult to 0/11ViCi. hint. Al and again alludes to the negro through out his address, in terms such as we are now accustomed to see daily iii news papers, whieh, four years since would have indignantly denied even the mild charge that theirs was on Abolition party. In three years it has made im mense strides. The doctrine of making negroes the e'/ J i ll //.s qf white me:: b, fore Mc tut' , is now plainly avowed and open ly advocated on the .Maryland line in Pennsylvania - , while in NeW England the advance guard of the party are zealously and cordially endorsing the horrible doctrine of universal amalga mation, under the newly invented term of miscegenation. Let not our Lancas ter county Abolitionists declare that they will never approve of any such disgusting theory. If they indorse TitAnnErs STEVENS, and vote for him and ABRAHAM Et Ncol.N, they will id ready have ,gone more than half way. They will have voted to make ALL MEN EQUAL BEFORETHE LANy. The step from r,inality befor. th, taw to ,curial vraility is but a very short O.IIV. The One tilt` other is sue to r()I -low. Is it not high time to stop? In allseriousness we ask. the thinking men, and, above all, the working men of this city and county, who would 1(c first af fected, is it not high time there should be an end of this persistent ellbrt to elevate the negro at the expense of the White Mall: Is it not high _sine the Degro-loving party was put down, and a white man's party given rule in its stead? What say you': So wedded is :\l r. SLUVCIIS, :111( 1 . so Weddell his party, to the lIII(TeSts Of the negro race, that they make his political and social elevation the basis or their action, and the price (e; their professed devotion to the Eitioo. Not satisfied with the rivers of blood which they have caused to 11(:\‘ front the hest and bravest of the white this land in behalf Of their l'ainatieal doe trines, they still cry for more. To hem , - lit the negro the most impossible eondi lions of peace are declared, :Hid we hear Mr. Lincoln refusing to listen to any terms of peace, or lit proposit ion for cessation of this inhuman struggle, until the last slave is freo, and in a fitting condition to be mode the happy subjeci oft he Abolition theory- 7 -1 he white man's ciptut before the law. Mr. Stevens is no hypocrite. He is a hold and fearless ad vocate of the infamous and odious doe trines of his party. He has had no hesitation in declaring' that he was opposed to a restoration of the Union as it was, under the 'onstitution as our fathers made it. Ile blas phemously cries out, " The ( 'wz stitution us it Thc Owl fo r it ! ."' Ile now tells the peo ple of Lancaster city and county what is the cause or his opposition to Seeing the old 'Union restored. The following, is the last paragraph in his address be fore the County Convention: "Those Who advise negotiations for " peace on the simple basis of the in tegrity of Union, thereby advise the " re-enslavement of a people, and offend "all good beings among men and an gels." \Ve hope that is sufficiently explh and plain enough not to be misunder stood. From the commencement of this bloody struggle until now the Ih•uu eratic party have charged that their op ponents were carrying on this war for the benefit of the negro, and not for the Union. Is it not now plain to the eyes of every man in the land, with Lincoln's letter—" To Whom it May Concern," and the constant endorsement of the doctrine by Thad. Stevens and other leading Republicans, that they are not in favor of the Union—that they are to-day, as they have been in the past, disunionists, haters of the Constitution and the Union, systematic stirrers up of sectional strife for the basest purpo ses, enemies to their country, foes to their own race, and friends in this hor rible struggle to the negro alone. With them it is the negro first and the Union afterward, and no Union at all unless the negro can be free, and the equal the white man Wore the law. Such are their doctrines, boldly announced, and on these issues they go before the peo ple. Will the white men of the North sustain them? If they do:they deserve to he debased to the level of the negro. General Joe Hooker, the distinguish ed officer and the hero of Lookout Noun Min, and lately a • great favorite of th, Lincoln Administration, is out for McClel lan for President. The McClellan proces ion called upon the General in 'Watertown lew York, where he is now staying. Froth tho lithionarTrit•elligencth. • Nomination of General McClellan. The reader learn from the - intelli gence given in another column that the Chicago Convention, reflecting, me doubt not, the vastly . preponderant senthhent of its responding to the wishes and expectations of multitudes among the loyal citizens of the United States not form ally represented in • that body, has placed before the people innomination for the next Presidency the name of Major General GEORGE B. McCLELLAN. • The expression of the popular preference for this distinguished soldier has been so marked during the last few months that the decision of the Convention can be said to have done hardly more than give organic shape and form to a sentiment pervading that great mass of the people' in the, Loyal States who have become dissatisfied with the conduct of the present Administration. And where the indention of this sentiment has been so universal, and its expression so spontaneous, it would be easy to infer the presence of natnral causes adNuate to pro duce such results, for a public sentiment so wide-spread and so genuine is never the offspring of factitious influences. These natural causes lie upon the surface, and constitute in their - mere recapitulation at once an explanation and a defence of the decision which the Convention has reached. As a man, it is universally conceded. that Major General McClellan possesses in the highest degree those qualities which inspire respect, confidence, and admiration. Uni ting to purity and probity of private char acter, as enjoined by the moral law, the vir tures and graces engrafted oil that character by the vole of the Christian faith, he pry spun: in his person the embodiment of a pa triotism which takes its animating impulses not only from a perception of what is due to man, but from a profound sense of respon sibility to t ;od. And in this day of muta tion and uncertainty, when so many foun dations of human hope have been destroy ed, it is Intuit, very much to know that the man On WhOln we rely is a man who regu lates Iris conduet according to the principles and precepts of Christianity, a.s received not merely in the understanding, but as made the rule and guide of his life. And in every position in which (ten. Mc- Clellan has been placed it is safe to say that his successes, and the successesof the eause which he represented, have been in propor tion to the degree in which his advice was rouowed or rejected by his civil or military superiors in the conduit of the war. If this filet was for a time ol,seured from the popu hit. mind, which looks more to results than to their causes, it has been set in a (-tear light bv the subsequent progress of the war, in vindicating the military administrat hut (km.

It is unnecessary for me to say to von that this nomination comes to me unsought. I am happy to know that when the nom ination was made the record of my public life was kept in view. The effect of long and varied service in the army during war and peace has been to strengthen and make indelible on my mind and heart the love and reverence for the Union, Constitution, laws, and Hug of our country impressed upon me in early youth. These feelings have thus far guided the course of my life, and.nmst continue to .1.) so to its end. The existence of more than one govern ment over the land which once owned our flag is incompatible with the peace, the power, and the happiness of the people. The preservation of our Union was the sole avowed object for which the war was commenced, and it. should have been con ducted in accordance with those principles, which I took occasion to declare when in active service. Thus conducted, the work of reconstruc tion would have been easy, and we might have reaped the benefit of our many vic tories on land and sea. The Union was originally termed by the exercise or a spirit of ,mmilintion and ,oin promise and to restore and preserve it the same spirit must prevail in our mum cult and in the hearts or the people. The re-establishment of the lltion in :ill its integrity is, and must continue to be, the ill lliSllollSallle condition in any ,(tilentent. So soon as it is clear, or ,•ven probable, that our present adversaries tire ready tar peace upon the basis or the 1 'Mot ‘i 0 should exhibit ail the 1:1,1111114:i, or stammanship practiced by civilized nations, taught by the traditions of the tm!rican I,o(mb-- consistent kith the honor and interest , of the ea1)1111:y--111 secure Snell 11,114 w, re-,•slah lish the lltion, and guarantee ror the mini, the conditional rights .f every Slate.
