64 Recognition of the Southern Confe
deracy by the European Governineuts.' 9
Under this caption we and the following edito
rial in L'Opinzon Nationale of the 3d of April.
This journal is generally held to reflect the opin
ions of the French Government. Our translation
is intentionally literal and close to the style of the
original. It indioatee that France le bitterly hos
tile to the recognition of the rebel cause :
The lag, news from the United States intorms us
that the Provisional Government established at
Montgomery bee commissioned Measrs. Dudley
Mann, L. Yancey, and P. A. Roit to England and
France ; in order to obtain the recognition of
Southern Confederacy as an independent
and to conclude the commercial arm?'
a mutual interest
Before discussing the value
advantages altered with so r
the elavites, (estlavagi
to examine by w'
dependence as
dI the commercial
riioh evapressament by
.rtes,) it is important for na
,ost title they can olaim their in
station.
-.Arian republics is composed of thirty
..
The A"'
our
estates, united by virtue of a compact consent
.n to by all, and, equal for all. /To privilege is
coneeded to one which may be refused to another.
There is not in their midst any distinct nationality
—no oonqnered people.
Those thirty-four States are independent of each
other in all questions purely band. They have
their special Governments, their Legislatures, their
judges, and their militia ; but in their relations
with foreign Powers they form, under the name of
the United States, one single nation having one
single Government, established at Washington.
If, then, a minority of these states enter Into
open rebellion against the Federal Government
established by the majority, that rebellion has not
the cbaraoter of a struggle between two hostile
nations. France and England may proffer their
good offices to reconcile the adversaries and pre
vent the effusion of blood; but if a minority of the
States take a fancy to erect therm/elven into a dis
tinct nation, foreign Powers can, in justice, only
recognize their independence after the majority of
the States themselves have done so.
If six or seven cantons of the Helvetic Confede•
racy should separate to-morrow from the other
cantons, and form a distinct confederation, would
France and England, in spite of the protestations
of the majority of the cantons, consider themselves
as having the right to recognize the separation
immediately as an accomplished fact?
It would then become necessary to recognize the
independence of the principality of Wales if it
should take a fancy to separate from England
It would be dangerous to establish a precedent
of this kind, for it would be giving encouragement
to rebellian, and discontented minorities would
henceforward consider themselves as holding the
right to free thems4ves with violence from rules
established by the majorities.
The Confederate states are not merely in the
situation of a factions minority—they are them
selves oppressors, they withdraw from the Union
because the North has liberal tendencies, and en
deavors to oonstitute a nation of equals, while they
desire a republic composed of masters and slaves,
of the privileged and the pariah, the executioner
and the viotim. a
Impelled by a strange and fatal blindness, the
Confederate States prohibit the enfranchisement
of negroes, just at the time that Russia proclaims
emancipation to her serfs. They will not even
allow the manumission of a slave who had saved
his master's life. They ordain that every free
negro, if he be a stranger, who enters their terri
tory, shall be sold as a slave, no matter what his
pretext may be.
In 1859 the authorities of Louisiana, disregard
ing all considerations of international treaties,
issued two writs against M. de Mitjan, French
consul at New Orleans, beeause he had received in
his inviolable domicile, and sheltered from
treatment, a Premix sailor, who had the misfortune
to be a negro.
An article of the Constitution, adopted by the
Southern Congress, prohibits the slave trade; but
the ancient federal laws prohibited it as well, un
der pain of death, and yet It was carried on upon
a large scale.
A society has existed for some years in the
South, known by the name of the "African La
bor Supply Association," of which M. de Bow is
pros Went, and it embraces several of tha members
of the government of Montgomery, and moat of the
members of the new Congress. The True b'outk.
ran, of Vicksburg (Mississippi), published 13th of
June, ISSS, the statutes of this society, founded with
tha avowed intention of encouraging the importa
tion of =gross from Africa.
Mr. Jefferson Davis, President of the Southern
Confimieration, has always shown himself favorable
to the reestablishment of the slave-trade; and
the Vice President, Mr. A. It. Stephens, said re
cently, in a meeting held in Augusta (Georgia)
" For the last ten years I have constantly said
that it is necessarry to increase the number of
slave States; but to colonize the new territories,
we must have new importations of. African ne
groes."
Encouraged so openly, and by the moat influential
men, the trade is 'carried on without any secrecy.
A Texan journal, the Richmond Reporter, pub
lished in its number wf January 14, 1859, the fol
lowing announcement :
"Fos SALL-400 African negroes, lately disem
barked on the ooast of Texas. The said negroes
will he sold on very reasonable terms—one-third
down, the rest at one, two, and three years, bear
ing interest at 8 per cent. For more full particu
lars, addreta C. R.. C., Houston, or L. R. G., Gal-
Voltton."
These States, whose past is so deplorable, and
whose present position is so false, now come to im
plore the moral support of England and France.
They forget that France and England have impos
ed enormous sacrifices upon themselves, in order to
abolish slavery in their possessions beyond the sea.
They forget that England olaims to be the most
liberal nation on the globe, and that France be
stows her blood and treasure to aid the oppressed
peoples in recovering their liberty.
It is known that the liberal Powers of Europe
preserve friendly relations with certain countries,
although slavery is still enforoed therein, as was
the ease with the United States, and is the case
with Brazil ; but a factious and retrograde mi
nority, who bring disorder into a country in the
name of slavery, oan have no title, when it creates
itself into an independent nation, to the esteem
or sympathy of the free peoples.
Depots for savages imported from Africa are
established in more than twenty of the large Sou
thern cities, where the initiated can often find
them by hundreds. The slave-trade, in one word,
was not more prosperous when it was legally or-
ganized. In the last four years at least two hun
dred slavers have arrived In the United States,
principally in the harbors of Florida. Supposing
that each vessel contained, with deduction for loss
by death in the voyage, 350 blacks, the increase
of the slave population, by importation from the
African coast, daring the Presidency of Mr. Bit ,
ohanan has been about 70,000.
Will the three commissioners sent to France and
England by the Government of Montgomery deny
that the slave trade has always been in request in
the Confederated States, notwithstanding the Fe.
dared laws prohibiting it? Will they deny that
all the expeditions of the filibusters have been or
ganized in Lonieiana, Mississippi, and Alabama ?
Will they deny that several of the Confederated
States have repudiated their debts ? Will they
deny that they have trampled the international
treaties under their feet, and compelled the Frenoh
consul to appear before a simple recorder of New
Orleans ? Finally, will they deny that their sole
aim, in separating from the Union, is to rivet,
more strongly and forever, the ohains upon four
millions of unfortunates?

Yes, it is an appeal that we make- an appeal
which sloes from the deepest recesses of our heart,
and struggles to find vent in words, which are weak
and impotent to express what we fool. We of the
present day have been laughed at and stigmatized
as weak and foolish slaves to fashion, and bette
and higher alma forgotten, utterly ignored,

and gentle words of love, and, perhaps, light and
senseless prattle, can utter the strong, bold words
which shall nerve and strengthen the arm and
heart of a father, brother, husband, son, or friend,
and that, though tears may start when the last
kiss is imprinted, ono sobs may well up from the
founts of affection at the last pressure of loving
hands, you are , still capable of smiling through
those tears and choking book sobs with words of
comfort and oheer.
„Oats,
...inmate in
This le the time, if ever, in which to prove your
real worth. You can feel how deep will be the
struggle which will wring the hearta of those who
are about to tear themselves from home and friends
to face the privation, toil, and dangers of the bat
tle-field. Will you add to the bitterness of that
Straggle with one word of regret? Bather, let
your busy fingers do all they may for their com
fort, and your lips, after having breathed to God
the prayers that are in your hearts, may grow elo
quent with cheerful encouragement. Bid them
go, strong in heart and limb, and fight for the
Union!
There is a work for us to do. While they are
facing the blaze and roar of artillery in defence of
our country, we can do our nett at home. It is
just here that we are needed, and the work before
us is plain. There are hundreds of strong men
devoted to our country's cause, whose care and
protection will be taken from their families ; and
it rests with us to watch over and help those who
may be left destitute. Hundreds of you have been
reared in ease and luxury, with nothing to do but to
minister to the caprices of your own fancy ; but
now you have other work before you, which, as
true daughters of America, you should prefer be.
yond all others. Curtail, if necessary, all your
superfluous expenses, and bring back the roses to
your pale cheeks, and the glad light of happiness
to your eyes, from a conscious knowledge of good,
by seeking out and oaring for those who are left in
poverty while their sturdy husbands and brothers
are away.
The right spirit has already shown itself in va•
lions ways. Ladies are working upon garments
for the soldiers, and getting up subscriptions for
the benefit of those who are poor, but strong and
willing. Young girls have aroused from listless
inaction, and, putting on the badge of Freedom
and the Union, have set actively to work to do all
they can. We know that our women of the pre
sent day will not prove unworthy of their aims
tors in this emergency.
Follow the patriot citizen-soldiers with prayers,
but do not sit down and weep impotently when
their forms are lost to sight, though with some It
may be forever. Preparepyourseives even for the
worst; and leave no hour idle in which to pine.
Remember what there is to do. No weakness now.
You know what you should do—go forward and
perform it, and God aroteot the right. B. Z. M.
A Pennsylvanian in the South,
[The following has been handed to ne as the
actual experienoe of a Pennsylvanian, last winter,
in Florida, and upon his way thither. We are 0103-
eared that the writer is a reliable gentleman.J—ED.
After voting for John C. .Breekinridge, in No.
vember last, I went to Florida to reornit my
health.
As a foretaste of my freedom, in my own coun-
try, a strange occurrence happened in Savannah.
Two gentlemanly-looking persons were taken from
the Pulaski House, tied to a lamp post, and
whipped, far saying that Lingoin was. eonstittt
tionally elected and ougfit, to take - 1118 scat." They
hailed from New York city_
I was informed at Savannah that, a few days
before, at the raising of the Palmetto flag on the
Pulaski Monument, one of the first young men of
Savannah jokingly cried, "Hurrah for Lincoln!"
and, before be had time to explain, was seized by
the orowd, a rope put around a lamp poet, and had
be not been recognized, his life would have paid
for his fun.
On my passage, inland, from Savannah to Fer
nandina, I heard the captain of the Everglade
swear that if be knew he had a Northerner on
board, be would put him on the marsh, which
would be equivalent to a helphsee, loathsome
death in twenty-four hours. This patriotic effusion
was greeted with great applause by almost all his
passengers.
After a transient residence on the St. John's
river, I removed to Aladin& county, where I gave
reference North and South, which, in oorrettpond-
once, gave very flattering testimony to my sound
nese on the slave question. Several gentlemen
told me all wore satisfied that wished to be. I
was treated with apparent frankness, and, when
asked my political opinions, gave them briefly. I
gave, as my remedy for existing evils, tbe demand
of a Southern Convention, representing all slave
holding States, on the North, for the enforcement
of the fugitive.slave law, the repeal of odious per
sonal-liberty bine, and the recognition of slave
property in the Territories.
I was firmly of the opinion that snob a course
would remove this question forever from Congress,
and give the nation peace. If such a demand was
refused, then a peaceful revolution would lead to
a peaceful separation.
On Christmas week I was peremptorily invited
to attend a meeting of a committee of vigilance and
eafety, and drill a military company. I attended,
but declined military duty, and immediately the
committee assembled ; a member arose and moved
that I be placed on trial, and the charges against
me be read. With far from pleasant feelings, I
awaited the reading of the terrible misdemeanors
I had been guilty of, viz: "He said that if Fort
Moultrie was taken by the Charlestonians a North
ern fleet would retake it. No says that he is a
Pennsylvanian. He is a suspicious character."
In my defence, I proved the first charge to be a
misrepresentation of my language at a sugar-boiling
a few weeks before, on the receipt of the report of
the capture of Fort Moultrie. When asked for
my opinion, I said a United States fleet would re
take it, for I then bad every confidence in James
Buchanan. Several gentlemen , testified to my
language, and my accuser made aoknowledg
ment that he was mistaken in my using Northern
instead of United States fleet. I pleaded guilty to
the second charge, and to the third I oould say
nothing, as I had never been intimate with aus
picious eharaotera, and did not know that I anted
like them. I gave them my political creed, and
explained the " big mall" that I sometimes received
to their apparent satisfaction. I took a Philadelphia
daily paper, and, as it is, the steamer sails only
every ten days, I received seven or eight at one
time, which, with several other papers, and a
dozen letters, stamped me a spy of an " emigrant
aid society or John Brown association." Vf hen I
had finished, I was, by a unanimous vote, " honor
ably acquitted." I was then elected, by the same
vote, a member of the said committee.
For one month afterwards I received no mail
matter, which, as my mother was in a critical state
of health, and her life despaired of, gave me in
tense anxiety. I was then waited on by a sub
committee, and informed that I might get my
correspondence and papers from the Vigilance
Committee next day. They had been taken
from the post office without my knowledge or
consent. After they had read them, i received
them. My letters all passed through their hands,
and the same system of espionage was practised
with my written letters in the post aloe. Money,
that I Bent, has not yet reached it! destination, and
I fear it has been repressed, as "of an ineendiary
nature," according to the orders of the State Con
vention. Captain Jones, backed by the military
company, very coolly told me that I coßld no longer
take any Northern paper, except my Presbytersam
whiott he would allow, as he " did not wish to in
terfere with my conscience " If I did so, he would
run me out of the country. My We wasthreatened
if blood 11 , 118 abed at Sumpter.
As one of the many instances of violence used,
which came under my own observation, I mention
this : A gentleman, a soldier, and the owner of
some seventy negroes, said publicly that an sot of
a Vigilance Committee was an outrage. Imme
diately, a double-barrelled shot-gun and more than
a dozen revolvers were levelled on him, and only
a Masonic) sign saved his life. He was disarmed,
and a few hours afterward was most cruelly beaten,
and left lying insensible in the open street, until
some negroes took pity on him and removed him
under shelter, and sent word to his plantation.
Be is a Secessionist! The Union men are three in
five, but are those who have small plantations, and
so much engaged in providing for their families
that they have no time for Vigilance Germinate.
These men lock to the Government for redress,
and will fight under the Stare and Stripes when
unfurled. Their last hope is in the holding of the
Southern forte and a decided Administration.

CHADMRSBTIRG, April 19.
Much excitement was occasioned here about one
o'clock by the appearance of five hack-loads of U.
S. soldiers, from Harper's! Ferry. They arrived
about ten minutes before the train leaves for Har
risburg. The officer in command, Lieutenant
Jones, and also the men, wore very communicative
whilst stowing away large sliest of bread and cold
meat, which was liberally provided by the neigh
bors around the depot. The hearty cheers which
they gave when the provisions arrived, and the
rapidity with which it disappeared, well attested
the fact of their having had nothing since yester
day evening. Lieutenant Jones states, that hear
ing that a force of two to three thousand Series
sionlets intended attacking him, Thursday after
noon, he held himself in readiness. All was quiet,
however, till ten o'clock, when the mob arrived,
within half an hour's march. After setting the
arsenal on fire in four places, they struck for the
bridge, and were fired upon by part of the mob,
and as four of the men are missing, they suppose
they were either killed or taken prisoners. The
arsenal blew up as they loft the bridge on this side
of the river. It was heard at Hagerstown, a dis
tance of about thirty miles. The company maroh
ed to Hagerstown, but did not get there till eight
o'clock, nearly an hour after the train had left,
and so were obliged to travel the remainder of the
way in hacks. They speak very confidently of the
fire and explosion havin g entirely destroyed all the
arms, fifteen thousand in number, and the machi
nery of the buildings, with the probable l+ - es of
life of some of the mob. This company has been
stationed at Harper'a Ferry but a short time,
having originally been at Carlisle barracks. The
men were in good spirits, spoke in the highest
terms of Lieutenant Jones, responding with hearty
will to the oheers for him and for the Union. They
were a fine-looking set of men, forty in number,
though in rather a poor condition for dress parade,
being mud up to the middles, and many foot sore
from their hasty night's march.
One hundred and fifty volunteers left this morning
for Washington under the command of Captain
Housum. Colonel Sturobaugh accompanies them
to Harrisburg, whore he will take charge of the
regiment. Captain Campbell is formino a com
pany of one hundred Artillerists. Besides this,
two rifle companies are being formed—one, the
Home Guards, already number fifty men. The
telegraph news of the destruction of part of the
railroad in Baltimore is disbelieved here. But
what will not these infatuated madoape do ? Lost
to all sense of honor, steeped In treason, polluted
by perjury, nothing is too vile for their hands.
The seceded States, not content with seducing
Virginia out of the Union, through Wise and
others of the same stamp, they must now incite
Maryland to mend their broken fortunes. Al
ready have counties in the different seceded States
began to Squirm and protest against the load of
taxes heaped upon them by their self-elected ru
litra—or rather masters. Secession is not caused
by Northern aggression. No compromise nor con
cession was received by them at first, although
freely offered by the North, and now they shall
not have it. It is only necessary to take a s ,
glance at the States to see that the Northern
lion is aroused, and will not easily be appeased.
The North will make the terms to the South, on
principles of justness. and she must accept them.
Private advises from Maryland show great exer
tions are being made by the Southern Confederacy
to secure her to them. Men of note are canvass
ing the State, but it will be all of no avail. Union
feeling is very strong in the majority of the coun
ties. Secessionists stand no more chance in
Elageretown than they would in your own city ;
and eo it is all over the State ; yet there ie snffi
cient bad material lying quiet, only waiting to be
roused up to give us some trouble. ZAT.
Letter from Allentown.
Correspondence of The rress.l
ALLENTOWN, April 18, 1881.
DpAR COLONNL : 1 see that Use lion of - the North
Is at length fully aroused, and that the reckless
politicians of the South who have plunged seven of
the States into revolution '
without ever consulting
them, are in a fair way of receiving their deserts.
In this movement, Lehigh oounty has already
made her mark, and furnished her full quota of
men in favor of the " Union as it was and the Con
stitution as it is."
The news of the attack on Sumpter aroused a
feeling here which has increased in strength until
it has become universal. finch unanimity I have
never witnessed. Party creeds were flung to the
winds, party platforms trampled In the dust, and
party spirit lost in patriotism. Men met in council
who never, perhaps, met before. Money, to any
amount, was , raised ; companies organised, and
ample arrangements made for tho support of the
families of those who volunteered in support of the
Constitution and the laws.
The " Allen Infantry," under command of Cap
tain Yeager, left yesterday for It arriaburg. The
celebrated " Allen Rifles" were this afternoon es
corted to the depot, en route for Harrisburg, by
some five or Six thousand of our citizens.
During the march, all business was suspended;
all houses and stores were closed, while hundreds
of flags streamed in the air from house-top and
steeple.
Another company is preparing to leave to-mor
row, while two more are organizing, and their
ranks rapidly filling up.
There are no Secessionists here now, though I
regret to say that, until this overwhelming de
monstration, there were one or two who were filled
with treason. The common sense of our people
has set them all right, and while this county was,
and is, opposed to the sectional spirit of the Chi
cago platform, they will stand by the Presi
dent in sustaining the Constitution and laws
against those who are madly endeavoring to de
stroy both. They look upon this Union as a ves
sel in which they and all they hold dear, are
embarked, and while they have no objeation to
that kind of secession which leads the seceder to
leave the ship, they will pitoh overboard any and
every one who attempts to scuttle and sink her.

Letter from Doylestown.
[Correspondence of The Press.]
COL FORM : The exalting war news of the
past few days, and the call of the Government for
aid to crush out rebellion and treason, culminated
last evening in one of the most patriotic demon
strations ever witneised in " Old Bucks."
In, the afternoon, a call for a meeting in the
court house, in the evening, was issued, and at an
early hour the room was filled to overflowing.
The Hon. Henry Chapman was called to the
Chair. Before taking his seat, he delivered a most
eloquent speech, urging the people, as one man, to
unite, and repel the insults heaped upon the glori
ous " Stars and Stripes," and in support of the
Government. He told the young men that the time
had come for them to buckle on their armor and
help save their country, and that he was ready to
do his duty whenever called upon. During the
delivery of the speech, many persons in the room
were affeeted to tears.
Capt. W. W. H. Davis stated to the meeting
that he had tendered the services of the Doyles
town Guards to the Governor, and that they had
been accepted ; also, that he watt anxious to have
as many Men as he could get, and would give all
present an opportunity to piece their name upon
the roll. Sixty of our citizens then came forward
and put down their names. A despatch was re
oeived from Senator Yardley, at Harrisburg, by
Captain Davis, desiring his name placed upon the
roll. Many more names have been added to the
list this morning. The Guards will meat this eve
ning for drill, when it is thought the number will
reach one hundred. With but one or two mop
lions, all party linos and party bias is forgotten.
All the flags to be found in our town are fluttering
in the breeze,
and the determination of our people
is to support the Government, and maintain the
integrity of the nation. They are going in, heart
and hand, to put down treason and traitors. These
who afford aid and comfort to the enemy of our
Country, by sympathizing with the m t are as guilty as
those who are in open arms against There were
Tories in the days of the Revolution, there are
Tories now, and those of to-day will go down as
did those who refused to obey their country's call
when despotism was attempting to bind the people
of the thirteen United colonies to the oar of political
bondNe L in the days of the Revolution.
Major General Applobaoh, of the Second division
Pennsylvania militia; Major Thomas, and others
of military notoriety, are in town, and it is now
thought a regiment will be raised next week, and
its services tendered to the Government forthwith.
Depend upon it, Bucks county will do her duty
nobly. She will oppote making any more oonces•
glen to traitors, but will aMiSt in meting oat to
them a traitor's doom. A blow has been struck at
the Government, and she will meet the issue. Her
sans, in the days that tried men's souls, fought
nobly to establish American liberty, and their
children will defend it to the last.

.. Meeting at Darby, Delaware
County.
Leer The Prose.]
A meeting of citizens of Darby and in Vicinity
was held upon Saturday afternoon, at 3 o'clock,
to raise the national flag and form a volunteer
company to fight under its folds. There were men
of every class present ) from the retired gentleman
to the sinewy laborer—the staid Friend, whore
fathers frame over with Penn, and the Celt, who
crossed the Atlantic a few years ego-all equal
ly anxious to renew their devotion to their coun
try, and their reverence to their irountry'a flag
The stare and stripes were run up by the only
three surviving veterans of the volunteer company
which Darby sent into the field in Idl2, and wee
saluted by the cheers of determined men, and the
acclamations of beauteous women.
The meeting was presided over by the chief
burgess of the borough, Mr. Jones, and was ad
dreeeed by the Rev. Mr. .Neal, and a gentleman
from your city, John o , Byrna.
Mr. Neal eloquently . and ably inculcated the ne
cessity of patriotism in fact—which is simply the
performance of that duty which one's country de
mands of its oittzens. Daring the course of his
very able speeoh, he was rapturously applauded.
Mr. O'Byrne followed in a style of eloquence
fall of thought, bat fuller yet of fire. During hie
speech strong men shod tears of patriotic rage;
and one old gray-haired' man declared " I'll go to
the wars if taken." For about half an hour, he
poured out a flood of burning words, that must
have stirred the depths of the most sluggish
nature. It is the first time he spoke in Darby,
and it is but justice to the gentleman to pronounce
him one of the most eloquent whom our citizens
have over listened to.
Mr. Beitzenherg opened a roll for volunteers, and
within a few minutes obtained enough members to
form the nucleus of a good company.

Ex-President Pierce on the Crisis.
Cosccortn, N. R , April 21,1861.
Ex-President Pierce made the following speeoh,
from the balcony of the Eagle Hotel, to a mass
meeting last night :
FBLLOW-GITIZSNS AIM NEIGHBORS : If I had
been apprised of your meeting last night mums..
Sly, I should have been preeent. But the notice
did not reach me till this morning. I wish to say,
in advance, that since my arrival here the resolu
tions which you have passed have been read to me,
and have my cordial approval. You call for me,
my friends, as lovers of oar country and of the
blessed Union which our forefathers transmitted to
us on an occasion more grave, more momentous,
and more deeply fraught with painful emotions
than any under whioh _I have ever addressed
yea. Bat I rejoice that that flag (pointing to
the flag of the United States) floats there.
[Cheers J Love for the flag of our country
is a sentiment common to ns all; at least to
my heart it is no new emotion. My father
followed it from the battle of Banker Bill unin
terruptedly till the enemy evacuated New York in
1783. My . brothers were with the gallant men who
upheld it m the war of 1812. Can I, can you fail to
remember how proudly it floated at a more reoent
date, from Palo Alto to Buena Vista ' on one line of
operation, from the castle of San Juan D'tllloa
to the pity of Mexico on another. Never can we
forgot that the gallant won of the North and of
the South moved together like a band of brothers,
and mingled their blood on many a field in the
common cause. Can I, if I would, feel other than
the proudest sadness when I see that those who so
often stood shoulder to shoulder in the face of ee
-1 reign foes, and now in imminent danger of stand
ing face to fade as the foes of each other. But they
should have thought of this as well as me. At all
events, there is no time now to consult our feelings.
The question has resolved itself into one of patriot
ism and stern duty. We cannot fail to see what
the nature of the contest is to be, and, to some
limited extent, the fearfulness of the progress and
consequences. We must not, however, tarn our
faces from them, because the true way to meet
danger is to see it clearly, and to encounter it on
the advance. [Applause.] I, for one, will never
cease to hope, as long as the fratricidal strife is not
more fully developed than at the peasant time, that
some event, some power, may yet , intervene to save
us from the worst calamity that ever depended
over a nation. The opinions of many of the
vast crowd before me, with regard to the cause
whioh has produced the present condition of public
affairs, are known to me, and mine are well known
to you. Ido not believe aggression by arms is a
suitable or possible remedy for the existing evils.
neither of these matters ought to be con
sidered now. They may be well waved—nay,
they moat be—until we have seen each other
through our present trials and future dangers.
Should the hope which I. have expressed not be
realized, which maybe a benefioent Providence
forbid, and a war of aggression is to be waged
against the national capital and the North, then
there is no way for us, as citizens of the obt.thir
teen States, but to stand together and uphold the
flog to the last, with all the rights which pertain
to it, and with the fidelity and endurance of brave
'men, I would counsel you to stand together with
one mind and one heart—calm, faithful, and de
termined. But give no countenance to passion
and violence, which are really unjust, and often
in periode ke these the harbingers of domestic,
strife. Be just to yourselves, just to others, true
to your country, and may God, who has so signally
blessed our fathers generally, interpose in this
hour of clouds and darkness, and save both ex
tremitiee of the country, and cause the old flag to
be upheld by all hands and all hearts. Bora in
the State of New Hampshire, I intend here shall
repose my bones. I would not live in a State the
rights and honor of whioh I was not prepared to
defend at all hezerds and to the last extremity.
[Cheers and applause.]
Union Iffeettng at Valley Forge.
A Union meeting was held at Valley Forge, Pa.,
on the 17th inst., and the greatest excitement pre
vailed. The oltizens turned out and paraded on
the old camp ground, with fife and dram, to the
soul•siirring tune of Yankee Doodle. It would be
Useless to say that secession was below , par, as the
shouts of applause that wont up from the excited
multitude, as they stood on those sacred grounds
and pledged themselves to stand by the Stars and
Stripes, as those before them had done in 1777,
made the whole woods echo again and again. In
the afternoon they raised a beautiful flag, with the
thirty-four stars—after firing a salute of thirty-four
guns. They organized a meeting at the Valley
Forge Mansion House, S. L. Ogden being called to
the chair. The following gentlemen wore appoint
ed vice presidents : J. F. flay, A Greenwood, and
Thos. Hay; secretaries, J. Thropp, Jr., and Obaa.
A. Thropp. After some very appropriate remarks
by the chairman, Mr. B. L. Ogden, J. Thropp, Jr.,
and A Greenwood, a soul stirring Speech was de
livered by Mies. A. Thropp, when the following
resolutions were adopted
Resolved, That we, the citizens of Valley Forgo,
hereby declare ourselves in favor of the Union,
the Constitution, and the enforcement of the laws,
and our willingness to uphold and defend the
same.
Resolved, That we remember the manifold pri
vations and unparalleled sufferings of our Revoln
tionary forefathers at Valley Forge and °imbue,
and are filled with admiration at the heroic brave
ry, manly patience, and noble fortitude displayed
by them at that trying period.
_Resolved, That it is the duty of every American
citizen to follow their example, and stand by the
Star-Spangled Banner at all hazards and in every
emergency.
Resolved, That we heartily commend the
promptitude of the President in issuing his pro
clamation palling on the citizens to aid him in en
forcing the laws.
Secession Outrages in Alabama.
From the New York Timms.]
Thomas F. Scott, a person reeently from Mont
gomery, Alabama, whore he has resided since
September, 1510, noting as steward of the Madison
House, and who comes well attested, communica
ted the following facts touching the outrages per
petrated there upon private citizens, some of which
he witnessed; and also concerning public feeling
toward the Seoeseionists.
He nays that himself and wife wore compelled to
leave for simply remarking, in private conversa
tion, that, if Breokinridge had been cleated, the
North would not have acted as the South had done,
seizing on public property in violation of law.
That at the North men could say and do what they
liked, so long as they did not violate the lawn.
The fact that lie had known Mr Lincoln in Spring
field, Illinois, and spoke well of him, was also en
aggravating circumstance, and he was ordered
away with twenty-tour hours' notice, all that was
due to himself and wife being withheld,
A man named West, from Philadelphia, was
twice inoaroerated, charged with writing letters to
Northern papers. lie was released after his trunks
had been searched and diligent inquiries had been
made at the post-offioe, without finding aught
against him. He has respectable connections in
Ba r n hon on
Baltimore.
his way to Monteraery in Septemb er
last, at Vicksburg, Mississippi, a corn doctor, who
visited the place for the purpose of selling his me
dicines, was drawn into conversation in a store op
petite the Washington Hotel. He remarked that
if he had been at home he would have voted for
Lincoln. Hereupon some fifty ruffians assembled
and seized him lie was conveyed to the ferry
- boat and carried over to the Louisiana shore, whore
they held a confirmation and decided to hang him.
He begged hard for life, and, through the interpo
sition of some, escaped death. lie was finally
stripped naked, hall his head was shaved, a coat
of coal-tor wan applied to his person, $2O (all the
money he had) was taken tram him, with part of
which a Alit was bought, and then, with his hands
tied behind him, he was thrust into the , boat and
sent adrift down the 0116E0614*i. tie was picked
up twenty miles below in an exhausted condition
by a boat from Cincinnati. Mr. Scott was an eye
witness of this outrage, and eeveral others of a
kindred desoription.
The feeling towards foreigners, particularly the
Irish, has recently undergone a great change.
Seven years ago, Charles Renter, a wealthy plan
ter, beaded a party of a dozen men who drove
seve n poor Irishmen in search of work out of town,
upon throat of hanging. He is riew the loudest in
praise of the same class. Know-Nothingism there
is dead. The Irishmen, however, underataud the
sballowness of this sudden friendship, and the mass
of them are strongly opposed to the Secession
movement. Not more than one half of the peo
ple exhibit the least interest, directly or indirectly,
an the Secession programna, and many openly
condemn. it. Senators Cook and ZdeSpadon, and
Representatives Smith, Cunningham, and several
others, spoke in the strongest terms against , the
anarchists. Such citizens as Comptroller Green,
Col. Seables, Mr. Lloyd, proprietor of the Mont
gomery Hall, and Watt Lennier, of the Ex
change Hotel, all strongly denounce the schemes
of the Disuniooists. Scott says he has heard many
persons say that if the Government would only
chow its determination to maintain itself, and they
could be protected, they Mould organize against
the trattors , and if it ever came to war, Yerioey i e
bead would be out off very quick. The same sen
timents were uttered concerning Cobb, who de
-1 livered en address there last month. Mr. Scott
has left his address with
