The matter of reerurting for the new army levy Is beginning to engms afhare of public attention, but not to the extent which its importance merits, or which true-hearted patriots could desire. There seeics to lie a withholding of support on the pert of the public press. There is, not that unity of effort among newspapers throughout the North which yielded such gratifying fruits a year ago, This is nowise, unpairioiio, and wrong It tends to pro duce the baleful impression thst the journals whioh heretofore had lent their whole influence to the Union cause bare grown apathetic and selfish be cnuse of the governmental restriction upon the publication of war news. >We do hope that the entire press of.the country will stand forward as one msn, supporting the Administration as warmly as they did in the troublous times of 1861. The en ttusiaMu among the people is rising gradually, and we see at least two > ob’e outbursts of the sentiment now uppermost in every iniod—the first in Indiana, the second in Buffalo, New York—and we may hope that the good oicf Sra:e of Pennsylvania, while she remains upon tbe surface Ualm and unostentatious an her zeal, is working quietly to do her share, or more than her thare, towards , strengthening the national arm, now that the time has come to strike the last .blow to the slaveholders 7 rebellion.;. It Vrould be wdi, perhaps, if the had de cided to recruit men ia every section of the State, to have furnished ,them transportation to Hirris fcurg, and there to have had; them 'formed into companies, allowing them to elect their office!s; and when ten companies were full, to hive iTtierid an election for field officers, nomini tions therefor being made : by. the colonel. The advantage of this meihod of raising regiments is . obvious and decided. Troops collected from every ; portion of a State indiscriminately have invaria bly proven the best soldierß of the war. The no- Jple division of General McCall was thus organized, Budamore effective corps never trod the classic soil of Virginia. The heroic brigade of General Daniel E. Siofeles is composed of men gathered from almost every State In the Union. They cling together as brothers, and fight 'till the last man of them has fallen. Every one of them isa Btur-y, self-ielitut hero, and each vies wiiih hi- coniTa ie in t' .e performance of valorous deeds. The reason for ibis, undisputed fact is obvious to nny comprehension. *lu ; collecting men from all quarters of the S ate, or of the nation, local pre judices and petty jealousies arodisearded, and the men stand shoulder to shoulder in the field, not as residents of tbia county or that; not as Pennsyl vanians or Jerseymen, but'simply as American citizens, fighting for the nation’s honor, and for the nation’s preservation. , . Tub advance of General McDowell’s* corps to Warrenton and beyond is but the shadow of a vast number of rapid and brilliant movements contem plated by Mi'j"r...{l.ejjeral.-l , opo towards .Die robot capital. An advance, upon Richmond was at one time wfcplly impraoljcabie,; but.now we find it an Open road to the army of a man like Pope, and we confidenily believe that he will march upon Rich mond direot, even if be has to sending stores up the Janies river, and start his men forward with ten days’ cooked rations. “On to Richmond” is Ho longer the'ery of* politicians and paper generals, but it is the war-ory of the people, the Govern ment, snd-the military leaders. - Ho uneasiness need be felt about the safety of the Open nar iration of the Jamos river in consequence of the report which reaches us from Fortress'Mon roe, to the effect that our mail-boat, the Juniata, fras fired on night’before last from a rebel field battery on shore, while passing down the. river. Captain Hoskins, of the rebel army, commands the Confederates along the south bank of the James liver, and has a force of nearly two thousand horse and foot, with a small light battery, This force is Sufficient to harass our gunboats and transports for a while, but it will not be long before General Burnside will ''effectually dislodge this insignificant zcbel banditti, io his advance upon Petersburg.*: One ok two erroneous ideas as to McClellan's movements before his retreat from the neighbor hood of Richmond, and the vulnerability of the enemy now, hold almost universal sway among Philadelphians, and need immediate correction. Soldiers coming home from tho Potomac are greeted on all sides with inquiries about the present state of the “canal at Port Darling.” MoCleilan never oven thought of digging a oanol there, and if he; badi and put his idea into execution, it would have been worse'than useless labor. His left wing was Jtever within six miles of Port Darling, and all the country between was perfectly open to the enemy. Hot a. single Federal soldier'ever was there, and rebeldom rode up and down the Charles City road whenever inclination led in that direc tion, An armed reoonnoissanoe, perhaps, once in two weeks, waß the General’s only communication With his gunboats. We trust no wounded soldier Will be again worried about that oiraal. ’ . THE NEWS. The meeting of the friends of the Administration, and of a vigorous prosecution of the war, held at Concert Halt last evening, was spirited, harmonious, and very respectable in point of numbers. The account of the proceedings, furnished by our .pho nographic reporters, will be found as interesting as it is aoourate. The speakers selected were ail influ ential gentlemen, well-known to Philadelphia au diences, and the cordial manner in which their litleranoes were greeted must have been highly gratifying to the thousands of friends of the Admin istration assembled. : A Special despatch from Stooo Inlet informs Jis that a rumor prevailed there to the effect that General Stevens had reattaeked the rebel battery on James’ Island,Jiear Charleston. From a rebel source, we have a report that the Federal foroes were attacked by the rebels and drivcn.from the island to the gunboats. * A late Richmond paper states that Beverly Robinson, of the Virginia Cavalry, has been ap pointed brigadier general, and taken Ashby's com mand. Complaint is made of the inhuman treat ment of rebel soldiers, by our own, on the Penin sula. Several Georgians, it is said, were found hung, and many bodies mutilated; but this is hnown here to be untrue. Prom Fortress Monitor, we have the satis factory intelligence that the army of the Potomac has advanced seven miles, sinoe the 4th instant, iowards Richmond. A flag-of-truoe boat had been Sent up the York river to confer with the rebels -concerning our fiok and wounded, who fell into the enemy’s hands recently. Important papers, maps, -plans, etc., were found upon tho rebel gunboat Xeazer, when she was captured, and another rebel -gunboat, the Young Merrimao, has been sunk •Sinoe by our gunboats in the James river. All of cur sick and vjounderl left at Savage’s Station, -»re reported to have been removed to our hospital ‘fcoats on the York river, and thus saved from cap ture ; but this seems improbable. J Commander Craven furnishes to the Navy De partment an inleresiing account of the recent ope rations of our fleet in the lower Mississippi. The results attained are alt that oouid be desired. The Governor of Indiana has issued a proclama tion oalling cut eleven regiments ofinfantry and six batteries of artillery- The people are responding to the call in that State nobly. In our local column will be found a full report pf the Conley murder case, continued yesterday in the Court of Oyer end Terminer, before Ludlow, Jr., ai>d Allison, JT, Evidence for the Commonwealth was being taken yesterday. We regret to annouece the death of one of the most useful men connected with the press of Ame rica—Mr. A. B. Hardy, for many years news edi- ; hr of the Boston lon mol, Mr. Hardy was a native of Woroesler, and learned bis trade, that of a prin ter, in the Spy effloe in that city. Prom there he went to Barre, Massachusetts; where he remained for several months, and thonoo went to The Jour nal office to work as a compositor. Soon after the morning edition of The Journal was started ho was offered and accepted the position-of ’notvs edi tor, which position he filled with rare ability and discrimination. He retained that post till his fail ing health* obliged hint to relinquishit. ■•By the arrivals at Now Yprk of the steamers Champion and Peru we have some later news from South America Gen. A. B. Y. Lamar, one of the old > Independence generals ” of South Amerioa, died on the 24th of May. G on. - Roman bad been eleoted President of tho Reontilio of Peru, the Government of which, with that of Ecuador, ’had agreed mutually to refer their difficulties to Eng land for settlement. The Chilian Government proposes to settle the difficulties between Mexico and the European Powers by arbitration. From Arizona wo have some important and in teresting intelligence. Qn the 2ftth of May, Col. West took possession of Tucson, a small village in the eastern part of the Territory, without firing a shot. The stars and stripes have been planted on the Kio Grande ere this, never to bo removed again. Colonel Carleton, of the CalUornia* Bri gade, issues.animportant general order instructing bis subordinates to proceed forthwith to occupy the forts of the Territory, ; and changes tho name of Fort Breokinridge to Fort Stanford, in honor of the present Governor of California. Altogether, the successor of Kit,Carson is having a satisfactory campaign away “ out West.” Tub Brazilian steam corvette Paraense has ar rived at our navy yard from Fortress Monroe, where sbe.lay aPanchor for two months. Her offi cers have been cumulating around our city constant ly of late, and express admiration of its beauty whenever questioned upon the subject. ....... 8* ........ 5 ....... 8 l2 Me. Thdrlow Weed’s letter to the New York Common Council explains the designs of onr Go verDmontin sending eminent citizens to Europe.to represent our intentions and power in crushing the rebellion, as well as it shows the immense benefits to the country which have resulted from the repre sentations of saoh, men :as Mr. Weed, Archbishop Hughes. Mr. Train, and others. The news from Europe by, the Great Eastern,’ last; night, is important; Lord Palmerston’de cidedly disapproves of any mediation, in American affairs, and thinks it"could produoe no good results at present. At last advices, Gen. McDowell’s corps d'abacs held Warrenton, Va., and is moving South. Gen. Pope and the army of Virginia will soon be heard from not far from Richmond. The promotions of Generals Sumner, HeinWol man, Keyes, Porter, and Franklin have been re cognized and confirmed by the Senate, and offi cially announced. This Napoleonic system of pro motion for gallant seavioo has thus far operated as favorably in this country as" in France. ’’ From New York,,we have a rumor to the effect that a’new expeditionis fitting out’for Farragut. We do not doubt it, but whero will it attack? Charleston ? : The ComrnoD Couneil of Buffalo is- patriotic. The members have adopted an ordinance appro priating eighty thousand dollars of the city funds to the raising of a regiment of volunteers ,for the war, giving the handsome sum ’of saventy ; 6vo dollars to each recruit, In addition to the Govern ment bounty. . The extracts from the TAtshmorti Examiner which we give this morning are important and entertaining. . The, rebels,: acknowledge a loss of “at least fifteen thousand men killed, wounded, and missing,” in the recent battles on tho Chieka horniny. “’ Open confession is good for the soul!” Premium on gold; has advanced to ten per cent., in consequence of :a,rumor that an export duty was : to be levied on specie. Do the “ money changers” intend only to intimidate the Government or injure the people by this move ? There is plenty of U. S. coin in ihe country, and yet the financial men have been hoarding it.in,the hope that the Govern ment would be foroed to issue small Treasury notes. These money men are the .best and worst friends of the country. . Congress Yesterday. Senate —The confiscation biirbsing under con sideration, Mr; hherman’s motion of agreement to the House bill was rejected, end a committee of conference was decided on. , The tax bill was modi fied in several unimportant particulars, and re ported to tho chamber from the committee, whose Amendments were agreed to, and the bill passed. House,—The report of the United States note bill conference committee was.conourred in. The bill to authorize the discharge of State prisoners upon bail, subject to, certain and empower ing the President to suspend the writ of habeas corpus, was passed. The Senate bill defining the pay and emoluments of army officers, and for other purposes, passed. One of : these purposes is the conferment of full oitizenship on foreigners who have resided one year in the country and served with honor in the army. ■lt is alesson especially useful for a Repub lic to learn that the national heart beats not otherwise than,beats the individual; a State is well called a ,‘f body politic,” for fhe varieties; .means, directions, and results of its activities are identical with those that control the func- Uot sof each human organization. To make .only one application of this truth now, let. us remark the condition of the NOrth during the four or five days that have just wheeled slowly over us. It is a dictate of the most meagre experience thatwe are entirely uncon scious of .pleasure, and hence whole years of it may pass over us and seem but as days. Wo can take no note of time while it is filled with enjoyment, but the instant that .our delight begins slightly to palijjfime’s folds trail lazily over us—justeheavy enough to let us know that they enefose us; and when satiation 1 gives' ■way to downright pain, we are throwu violently back upon ourselves, and moments seem eter nities. The last few days have exhibited upon a grand scale this truth of the individual mind. It is only a week ago, by the astrono ■niical record, that the public began to feel un easy about affairs on the Peninsula, yet what ages have intervened since then, if emotion he tho measure ? There was no definite cause for any alarm at that early period ; all the news had been favorable,: all the prospects were fair. It was only known that important move ments were to be made, but the very igno rance in regard to their moaning and ’their chances of success made every breath anxious and every look eager, and, somehow, men’s faces; began to wear a serious aspect, as if their ears forebodingly heard— “ Lamentinga 1’ tho air; strange screams of death And prophesying with accents terrible, Of dire combustion, and confused ©vent?, * ‘Sew hatch’d to the woeful time.” The wires have been very busy since, but wliat fluctuations of hope and fear, despond ency and trustful assurance, enthusiasm and despair, have they caused! First came vaguest rumors, and .'then'succeeded' sullen silence; then a spark of hope only-to be quenched by a cloud of doubt; reports grew more definite in themselves, more confused and contradictory of each other; it was. a grand strategic movement now, which: the next instant converted into a sham .tul re treat; corps d’armee were inextricably in termingled ; regiments become divisions, while divisions dwindled to regiments; the right wing melted into the left, the left could not he found but where the right ought to be; the front was magically trans formed into the centre, and the centre as magically deformed into the rear, and if any tangible resell s might have been g'eanod from all this.they were hopelessly destroyed by the ambiguous utterances of the Govern ment; by the unusual restraint pufupon the press, and by the general air of mystification that nebulously enveloped all things. And so, from hour: to hour, we listened to the broken murmurs of the distant ebb and flow, and waited with feverish lips for the ripe time that should bring the full tide to our feet. It has come at last; the great billows have broken—alas, brackish with tears, hitter with blood; our* senses and our souls are sickened. But all this while have we learned nothing ? Forced hack upon ourselves, and constrained to feel the seconds crawl over us as if they were centuries, have wo wasted these vast reaches of.time? No; the public has done wbat every human creature does in like anxious' circumstances; it has gone to the school of misery, longing and fear, and has acquired more genuine education in this week than it csuld have acquired in ten ordinary years. Our questionings have kept pace with our hopes and despairs, we have learned, by self communion, what wewouid not listen to when taught from without. We have gained new, experiences in two directions— the military and the political; and j let us hope, true as well as new. Whenever, previously to this, our armies have met reverses—slight or great—an overwhelming gust of criticism has burst from every mouth. Not only the generals in,command have been handled un sparingly, but those who could, by the re motest possibility of fact, or Dy tho most in genious inventions of angry criticism, be con nected with the disaster in any way, have come in for a share of tiie wholesale denuncia tion; subalterns were blamed, and Cabinet of fiqers did not escape. But now the pot and the pride of the nation has met s reverse, and what is the effect on public opinion 7 Partly, the old game is played over, yet feebly. The old, old cry of three to one has served its day; men know that very heavy reinforcements had been sent to the Army of the Potomac, and they are forced to new conclusions. Luckily to charitable ones, the confusion is so great that nothing is left us but charity; we-are constrained to accept a military catholicity. We see that, notwith standing all that genius and- cunning and toil can do, disasters will come, and .then involve no blame. We begin to remember the infinite contingencies of a battle-field and how slight a cause—even some trifling ac cident—operating amid its din and carnage, rosy sway its issues. Perhaps Generals Bbn ham and Busier were not such# fools, after -all.- ITew political ideas, also, are being forced upon ns. As the-pertinacity and desperation ot the rebels become more apparent, as the threatenings of foreign intervention roll nearer and with- d istincter ominousness, as we begin to lock to our future- liuaneial condition, as we feel, in short, the momentous magnitude of the struggle, we begin to ask also if it may not have a momentous import. If so, has it not an equally momentous cause ? ana if wo can‘ find that, may it not prove to be the thread that shall- guide ns out of this la byrinth? It would , seem that the .means that got us into this difficulty would be the sitrest means cl getting tfs out. There are three cries now going up in this land, and they pierce the dullest ear with the might of their voices. Tho first, is the groans from: the,Pe ninsula, where ten thousand maimed and man gled forms are bemoaning the luck that saved their lives. The second is the hoarse call to aims now sweeping through the North. ‘ The third—and we cannot help hearing it—is from the for South General Hunter’s words: “ They are sober, doctie, attentive, and enthu siastic ; displaying great natural capacities.for acquiring the duties of the soldier. They are eager, beyond ail things, to take the field and be led into action.” Every man hears those three cries, and every man is mingling them— consciously or. unconsciously. The North’s reply to the wounded takes the practical shape of hospitals and ali the kindliest offices of 1 humanity. Its reply to the President’s call is the roll of drum, Ihe flutter of banner, the shriek of fife.’ But the reply to that S-uithorn voice; will come from, the South itself, .jrhen it’fmds in its very midst a foe more implacable than the fiends, whom its outrages have forced to self-defence, a power whose rebellion will he the instant destruction of our rebellion. Mexico is the rock upon which Napo leon’s “ship of State” may founder, unless’ she be remarkably well piloted. The expedi tion against Mexico,' got up by Napole9n, looms prominently out as a decided" failure— so far. England and Spain backed out of it, with simultaneous alacrity; leaving France ‘to combat, in a strange country, with the difficul ties arising out of an inferior force, a bid cli mate, and a patriotic people, maddened by invasion. It bas been determined that the French in Mexico shall be reinforced, and that the defeat at Peubla shall be atoned for by the future occupation of the capital. The French LegHature have unanimously voted an-increase to the year’s estimates, of seven millions francs for the navy, and of eight mil lions for the army: The whole of this extra expenditure ($3,000,000) is! to he devoted to .the Mexican expedition. The French cannot brook the idea of defeat. M. Edmond Oli vier had said that he,-for one, would freely vote for succor, but General Gee ary sprang ’up and “That is not the word." Succor means defeat, and defeat is disgrace.,- We shall vote the money. to replace, with re inforcements, what sickness' has invalided.” . ; Fortunately enough, this extra expenditure need not involve..the '.necessity of taxation or loan." The Spanish Minister has just paid into the French Treasury the sum of twenty-five million of fraces ’ for expenses; incurred by France in 1823 in bringing back King Ferdi nand YII. to Madrid, restoring.. the Govern ment which tho Spanish people had over thrown, and . subverting the Constitution. Thus,’the cost of reinforcing the expedition in Mexico is provided for with ten million francs in excess for other purposes. - The advicts from Paris are unanimous in affirming That Napoleon; at any cost of blood and treasure; will endeavor to obtain posses sion of the .city of .Mexico. The rnn-’oice ments will principally consist of the tried sol diers of Algiers. With these it is hoped, to obtain a signal; triumph ; but once that -the. capital is conquered, Napoleon’s; probable role will be clemency, forbearance; andlofty .magnanimity. ’Heis expected;if triumphant, to take no ad vantage of bis STiccess, but permit Mexico to choose her own form of Govern ment and her own rnler: perhaps—for he is very angry with the man—he may Veto the continuance of, Juarez as President, and it is whispered that he hopes to induce Spiin to .back him upon this point. - - . The new ’ programme, it will he seen, omits the project for placing ah Austrian Archduke npc-n the throne of Mexico; ’ That arose out of the misrepresentations made to Napoleon by General Almonte. The anticipation was that the Mexicans; sick of civil discord, would cheerfully accept a European’ prince as hereditary and regal ruler. On the con trary, the Mexicans have a strong objection to monarchical, institutions, and would be satis fied, least of all, with an Austrian prince,—even though; remotely allied to the great Emperor Charles W; whose reign was tbe most glo rious that Spain, the mother country, has to boast of, . ’ - - ’’V -! Generalj Almonte, an able and plausible .politician, must have deceived Napoleon on this point, and upon others. Be is an am bitions, intriguing man, and may have hoped to forward his own personal views, by aid of •the invaders. Perhaps, knowing that Mexico would not accept' a King, ho may have calcu lated on the possibility of his own accession as President. The reinlorcements to be sent to Tera Cruz, from Algeria and other places, will not be fewer than twenty-five thousand men. The naval force will be considerable, also ; but we do not apprehend, with so much on his hands in Mexico, that Napoleon will venture to ap ply this force against bar Union. Some of our contemporaries, we notice, express fears that lie will, but the chances run the other way. Napoleon may not find It quite so easy as he expects to conquer Mexico, and dictate terms from its capital. The Mexicans, who are well used to guerilla warfare; may greatly annoy the French, and the nature *of the country is in favor of that warfare, which helped to defeat the first Napoleon in old Spain. , , ... ' ; JhETTER FROM “ OCCASIONAL ” ■Washington, July.-8,-1862, The business of both Houses of Congress is very nearly closed up, and an adjournment by Monday next is confidently predicted. A bare •quorum is held in both branches, and the ab sence of a number of Senators and Repre sentatives, some of whom have returned to their homes for the, purpose of assisting to raise regiments and brigades under the Presi dent’s last call for three hundred thousand men, is a sure indication that very few can be expected to return at an early day. The reso lution of Mr. Sherman, providing for an ad journment on; Monday next, the 14th instant, has not yet been acted upon in the Senate. Should it pass that body, it will be promptly -concurred in by the House. There is a strong party, composed of influential men, who insist that, in the present condition of public affairs, an adjournment may be productive of mischief. On the other hand, it is insisted that, as Con gress has passed all of the appropriation bills and other important'measures, the manage ment of the military campaign may be safely entrusted to the President and his constitu tional advisers. You will perceive that the President has nominated, and the Senate has confirmed, Brigadier . Generals Sumner, Heintzelman, Keyes, Fitz John Porter; and W- B. Frank lin, to be Major-Generals of Volunteers, for distinguished gallantry in the recent -glorious battles on the Peninsula. These honors are as well deserved -as they were bravely won. Heintzelman, in particular, was entitled to this high mark of Executive and Senatorial confi dence. In reading of Ms achievements one is reminded of the descriptions of the dashing valor and splendid military genius of Nay, Murat, Macdonald, Desaaix, and the-other fa vorite marshals; of. Napoleon. . He seems to bear a charmed life. Frequently woudded, and showing the marks of'privations on the frontiers, he is a conspicuous actor in THE PR ESS—PHILADELPHIA, WEDNESDAY. JDLY 9, 1862. every great* battle, and always' win* the confidence of his men and the approval of his chiefs. From the .beginning of the present war. from the period when he was stationed in Virginia opposite this city, he has participated in every great conflict, without, I believe, a single exception; At Bull Bun, the severe wound he received deprived the country of the benefit of his experience and presence at a time when both might have B tved the fortunes of* that disastrous day. Hh guardianship of the Potomac river, his intrepidity at York town, Williamsburg, Fair Oaks, and in the six or seven battles that begin on the- 27tu of June, be proved himself all, and more-than all, that could have been desired. The recognition of stick merit and patriotism will encourage oiheia to emulate- the example, that they may attain the eminence of this veteran hero. ; : OcoasiosAt.

' -> - ; r . During the readine of tbe resolutions, when the name; cf General George B. M cCleHah was mehtlbnod, an old and respectable man in tne audience arose and proposed, three cheers, ; wh3ch were given with a wifi. .. . : After the reading of the resolutione, William M.Ballr Kki., was introduced. Be said, by whatever natare you piei.se, to stile yourselves, whether Bepublicans, Onion Democrats, or Pet>p!e’s men, or to one and all of you, loyal as you are, he declared the time had come when every friend of freedom and the Union should throw a» ide the trammtls of party and stand.tip iti support of tbp the Union*, and the Ooustitution, re gardkss of political bias cr pergonal preferment ■ The war is not yet turfed—-the ti aifors are not ernshed . out Hud hanged—and, until those events occnr, patriot ism demands that party spirit and party bickerings shall not rear their heeds to cause further difficulties in the ; tefrible ordeal through which the nation is now passing. As citizens of- Philadelphia,.then, under whish call we have ays* mbled, we welcome to our midst all, of all par tie>, favorableto the sustaluiog of tho. National Govern mt lit, iht) suppressing of this unholy rebellion, and the support of our hundred thousand . Peunaylvaoians in armBtopT»?iLervQ the Union of our fathers:. [Applause.] If, then, there are any in this assembly, or elsewhere, ;who co tot fully agree, with qb in each, and all of these particulars, we desire neither intereonrse orcommuaica* tidu witli them—because, in the language of the late distiiiguisbed statesman of Illinois, <? m this war thsrs can he hut two parfies, patriots apd traitors.” •And the man who is not thoroughly with us, and wboicalls him* srlf neutral, or desires a.cessation of aims before the re hellion is finally put down, is a traitor of as doep and block a dye as ever was Catiline or Arnold, end that, too, without the apology or excuse that might be furnished for either oHhem. • . Away, then, with all this miserable stuff cf desiring to see a compromise effected, such as was shadowed forth in the address of the so-cu Wed Democratic members of Congress, on the 7th of May last, signed by foarteen Democrats of The House, all from the North, not one Border State member or Senator having , given it his sanction. So, alto, of that meeting held in New York last’ week, in which that dignified and. elegant gentlo m»n, th«t ucccmplhhed and ripe scholar, that pure and unspotted patriot, Fernando Wood, appeared to be the oracle and the organ—the man who, a year ago, pro posed that New York city should set up an independent government for herself. What communion or fellowship can any loyal American bavd with such men I But they do notbelotg to Washington and New York aloue, I hese, and many other such, to accustom our people to, will require all the efforts for a long time to come, of all patriotic and loyal people, to rid us of the dangers which >vill ef.vixon us after the Union shall be restored. -Tho darkest days our early history werenot those of Brandy wine or the terrible winter of Volley Fori*®. No, they caoie after our Revolution waa an established fact, and our Constitution was In process of gestation. .Then it was that we were almost riven. Let us then avoid the : dangers which (nvironed our fathers, and with one heart and one voice determine that, come whatmay.lnociream ttance* shall decoy us from tbe support of ih/noble Ad miiiietration into whose hands the destiny of onr coantry bss been placed. [Applause.] , . IP Upon • Mr. Bull concluding the band struck np the “ Btor-spaogled Banner, 1 ’ which wns received with wild and rapturous applause by the meeting. The Question was vhen taken ou the reaolutioas, which were adopted without one dissenting voice. ‘ : * i\ :: Phiiip S. White, Esq , next appeared on the platforga. He had been asked to speak at this meeting, but a fe w hours previous, and had thought to hinvelf, in the name of God is snch a gathering necessary ! In it necessary that we of ihe North should meet together to express ohr determiraticn to defend the Constitution and the Union 1 Why is it that this rebellion has occurred 7 Wealllove tbe Union.- la it that the North have carried the Abo lition prmciik'too fart They have not gone* farther thaw Thomas.Jbffotcon. [Applause.] If Abraham Lincoln nod taken prompt and stern measureß at the start be would have choked this rebel lion in a short time. He was for stringent measures. The Government was worthy of protection, because it was the best Goveiument that ever was created- The;North ern Democrats have no reason to sympathize with thte: unholy robellibn, because Jackson aod a number of other prominent leaders of the Democratic pareywere opposed to it. What w’as that bastard meeting hold in New York for? ValiaDdigbamsaid it was to'reconstruct the Democratic party and to supportthe Constitution and the Union. . ,-There was do aecesßity for such a meeting. Tho Ad ministration ia supporting the and the Union. Why not support the Administration ? The cause, of this rebellion was, that the Democratic party had been in power, so long that they had got used to it, a>.d tbey.wouid in tbe Union unless they served in sonic office. What can be thought of enen meo, who, for tbe- enke oMoeifg an office, would break down the infetitutions handed down to us by our fathers, and on tail n isery on the children of tho present generation, and thoeo who are to follow hereafter ? j., It is said that the confiscation hill is not appHcab'e, be cause the slaves are not men but property. He did not pretend to say that he was ‘in favor of any confiscation bill that would affect the property of any loyal citizen, but he was in favor.of confiscating the property of traitors in arms'against tho government, and if necessary, for the support and protection of the :government, he would arm a miUlon of slaves for iia defence.’; ' This Government is too.sacred a matter to be trifled’ with. He .was for carrying on the war, .He believed, that Abraham Lincoln had done his duty. He bag de clared that he wag opposed to interfering with slavery where it constitutionally existed, and bo was the speaker. The President comes ont in a neat and modest little mes sage, and-, says let the . States' settle the great Question tVmwdvfs, and let every loyal man be compensated. The speaker detailed the variouß strategic movements of the brave “Little Mae,” and thought he would have bten in Richmond before to day, had his operations not be*h interfered with. Be thought that the late retreat was one of the moat magnificent in the annals of history. He concluded amidst the most uproarious applause, alter which the meeting adjourned. r ... In the course of the eveniiig the following letters were read Washington, Jnly 7,186*2.
