As I again hear the old Acade my bell 'ring, it brings back to my mind the sorrow of my childhood: But let no lady mistake me by supposing that I Cher ish any unkind feeling toward any one. I know that whatever the past may have been, yea are my friends.. But ladies, let me add, if you have ch ildren, teach them a lesson from my experience, and treat kindly the poor and despised. A calico cloak may cover a heart as warm with affection, and as sensitive with sorrow, as one that beats beneath a velvet covering. Wher ,ever you meets child that shows a disposi tion to despise the poor, tell it the story of the little "Calico Cloak"—it will carry its own moral with it." • That is di; shortest; but the best ser mon Lever heard," said the old lady again as' she put her handkerchief under her glasses. " and I 'don't believe it will 'be lost by any of us," The old lady was eight. The story went froth one to 'another until it found its way into the Acadenv. At that very tune a little boy was at tending school there, whose mother was struggling with her needle to give him an education. The'boys often made open of his patched kneesand 'elbows, and be wo'd rim - honie to hia Mother.

He foughtthe battle against slavery when- to fight that battle was to risk popularity, prosperity, and social position. And now, because be insists in "bearing his testimony" against what he believes to be the "corruption and imbecility" of one of the greatest de partments of the government, his fellow abolitionists put him out of &ors !

Aliat:B3o3ELEll946l. T o the Democratic OilitensV Pennsylvania: I have but waited the tardy movements of our publio authorities in -collecting the result ,of the election held on the Bth ult„ in order, to discharge the incumbent duty of calling your attention to the means by - which a majority of 20,681 votes (as I now learn -from official circles) has been recorded against us. This majority is inade up from al} the votes stated-to have been given in tie districts it home, inclu ding those by proxy, and all these given to the ~a rmies+—negris Votes and -every) torus of returns, lawful and other. wise. - • There have beep ' at least two palpable forms of frauffliracticed by the supporters of Abraham Lincoln, in order to make up this majority, and thus secure him the electoral vote of the State. Fictitious ballots have been placed in the ballot-boxes, answering to false registries, the same as has been repeatedly proven to have bean in our elections heretofore ; and, secondly, the suffrages of the volunteer soldiers have not only been overawed and perver ted by corrupt partizan officials, but the returns themselves, in many cases, have been tampered with and transformed. In reference to fictitious votes, who believes that the city of Philadelphia has to-day, or ever had 99,800 voters legally and properly registered in her various wards and precincts ? And yet that number of votes has been manted as thus resident giving near 12,000 abolition majority in a city that not many years since burnt an ' abolition hail in open day, as a public nu isance ! The late attempt. to exercise the right of suffrage on the part of volunteer sol diers, hap proved a signal failure—farce I would call it. but for its various melanchol• ly concomitanta. The doubts entertained by many as to the wisdom and propriety i of this measure, prior to its adoption, would seem to have been fully realized. I It is impossible ever to secure a fair and full disixibution.of tickets, so as to al low a. free choice to voters, in army ser vice. The expenses of the attempts made Ito do so, are almost beyond belief. On .t...-par t or arc , State, they will reach at least 830,000; and the two political or ganizations spent fully as much more, The system will always be liable to,erpat abu ses, and must ever be unequal hint Ivey; ation and unfair in its results. • Certain it is, that the privilege of vo ting given to the soldier is a- Mockery, when the very man against whom perhaps he would like to vote, has the most des potic control over those who rule that sol dier's every movement, and could send him at word to the front of battle and to death, if be refused compliance with their behests. until the volunteer soldiery have the power of choosing their own of ficers, the right of suffrage for other pur poses can never be properly carried Into effect in the army. Had they been fairly and freely left to their own preferences, can any sane man doubt but that there would have been about the proportionate division of sentiment by the soldiers in the late elections, that was manifested by their fathers and brothers at home ? It is the army vote, (not to the speak of the other frauds,) that has given our op ponents their recent beggarly triumph ni Pennsylvania. Beggarly indeed—when it is recollected that it shows a falling off of from forty to fifty thousand in their majority, within the last four years ! Such a victory, and so obtained, betokens a speedy downfall as a party to the advo cates of negro equality in our staunch old, Commonwealth. Revolutions never go backwards. It is worthy of , remark, here also, that a change of twenty-five thous- i and votes properly divided amongst the larger States, would have defeated ilir. Lincoln altogethar. It was our duty, fellow-citizens, to have rescued:the Constitution at the late elec tions if we could. The effort was gallant• ly but unsuccessfully made. And now,in view of all that must. inevitably transpire within the next four years,l feel honestly more like congratulating you as a polio sal party, on having escaped &fearful re sponsibility, than offering explanations and condolence over a defeat. , After en- tailing a weight of suffering upon tbitt, cotistry from which nothing but the most radical (germ res can ever relieve it ; after having 'forced into operation a financial system wh'ch is but the mask of rain in that regard; after so, mismansging the civil ,war ..now. upon , the . k bands, 'as to leave, scarcely tr,; hope . of Gavin the Union I —it is but right-that the abolitipnists,and their instrument ) Abraham ,Lineolo,should remain in , a,poulan, to fees the first fruits of, their own wickedness and, folly, and meet the curses of ; an outraged and suf fering people, when impeuding sloads shall mature tot*, storm,and_darkness. • OUr plain di/Miff:Mow-damns, both as A party and ike patriots, is ,ta maintain our noble organization in ,al,l„ith power timi se. fishy. , now amptises upwards of two hundred 'and seventy-six; toussud,,freo• men—the bone, sinew:and brains of the conloMM9altb.

'al the sentinels of freedom; and vindicate 'Our 'tinin-linour4d 'principles before the people-' Instead of disbanding oar clubs kid ussoiittlions; let us increase their DUD ber and inspirit their action. Herd, at least, monthly 'meetings. Gather if posei ble, and ' nganizn a Democratic associa tion in every . 80001 district, and boldly canvass on all proper occasions, the meas ures of our corrupt and imbecile rulers.— Expose the secret - leagues and banditti like gatherings' of our opponents; atiO hold up to merited scorn those who in midnight assemblies, and tinder kindred darkness conspire to rob and ruin the country, and at the same to degrade our people by plotting an affiliation with the negro race. Let us, as a party, march steadily on our accustomed paths, employ ing neither stealth nor secrecy ; they are unworthy of freedom, who are afraid to defend it in open day. Allow me, in this connection, to add a word, also; in• behalf of the Democratic , press of Pe nnsylvania. Always but ton poorly rewarded, now, when nearly all public patrounge is in the Lands of fanat ics, and the expenses of printing greatly increased, it becomes the manifest duty of every faithful Democrat to support and strengthen his lacel paper, and to discrim junta in his patronage, if compelled to do so at all, in favor of the Democratic press of our own State. There is a culpable carelessness in this respect,in many of oar public men, which is a very proper sub ject of reprehension, as well as of remem brance to those Who suffer from it. Under ordinary circumstances, fellow citizeiti, I would deem the present duty of place fully discharged in this hasty ref erence to the late election, and the se quent suggestions which I have ventured upon. And in what I further undertake at this One, it is possible I may be charg ed with travelling somewhat out of the sphere of my appointment, and with en tering upon a field of duty that is beyond its usual -Hulks.: But as my purpose is manly and upright, and, I may add ; pat. riotic—l feel I may safely rely in these times, that the spirit of liberty will secure me at least your indulgence. ;On or about the Ist day of ; September last, forty-four substantial and reputable citizens of Coltimbla and Luzerno coun- ties, in this State, were seized by military authority and hurried with indecent haste, at the bayemit's point, into the depths of ,ititane military_fortres4l±l a:place of confinement. One of them, in a letter to his relatives, in simple words that must touch every honest heart, thus deticribes their imprisonment : " Our treatment was inhuman. When 'first taken , and incarcerated in this cell, not a stool or bench to rest our weary limbs upon; not a cop, or knife, or fork, or plate ; and these few indispensable ar ticles were purchased at exorbitantpriees, attended with vexatious delay. IForty four of us inane cell, without even a sep arate* place to attend to the calls of na ture, it is no wonder that one of our num ber was soon laid in his last resting-place, and many others prostrated by disease." Four of their number have recently been brought to trial before a military commission, and three of them sentenced to heavy fines and imprisonment, upon. charges clearly cognizable in the Civil Courts of the . State and of the United States. With the question of the guilt or innocence of these men, (and I believe them truly innocent of.any deliberate in fraction of law,)T have in this place, no thing to do . It is the startling fact that fort Y-four men, of good repute in their re spective neighborhoods, some of whom had held plades of high public trust and honor, should be seized by soldiery in the heart of, this peaceful and loyal State, drAgged off to. a noisome military dun. geon, and there kept for mouths, without' being confronted by an accuser; one of them in the meantime dying, as •is be lieved? from suffering thus; .another be coming blind from his confinement., while most of the .others still continue shut ap in Fort Mifflin—a damp, island fort, con structed more with a view of resisting bombardment than anything else 1 A brave old namoldesecrated ; a fortress as. soeiated , with many proud recollections , and memories of our forefathers' struggle , for rreedem,..turned. into a bastile for the ' use of modem tyranny I This is not all,uor in my view the worst of the caso-Lif it ht to be established as a precedent.
