THE PLATFORM OF TREASON, AS PRE
PARED BY THE LEADER OF THE
BEELKINEIDGE PARTY IN PENNSYL-
VAN lA.
The following is the resolution wri ten by Mr. F. W.
Hughes, the Chairman of the Breckinridge Democratic
State. Committee, for the consideration of the State D -
mocratic Convention. It is the most lucid and explicit
declaration we have yet reed of the opinions of the leaders
of the Secession party of Pennsylvania:
• Resolved, That Pennsylvani owes her growth in po
potation, and the Morena° of capital and wealth of her
Citizens, chiefly to the advantages which the American
'Union had afforded for the development of her natural
resources; and that her glory and paramount interests
•tire idenilSed with the continuance of that Union.

outlet or approach from the ocean for her great East

Napoleon and His 'Lima's
Over the future of nations, as over the fu
ture of individuals, Providence has cast a
veil. ' Yet, as we can somewhat judge from
the boy what the man may be, wo can approxi
mate, by inductive thought rather than mere
conjecture, what, under such and such circum
stances, may. happen to a nation. No doubt
many philosophic minds have speculated, with
keen anxiety, upon the condition of France
whenever NAPOLEON shall have as shuffled off
this mortal coil." Let him survive until his
son reach manhood, and the continuance of
the Bonaparte dynasty may be pretty..surely
counted upon. Lot him die while 'that - child
is young, and shadows, clouds, and_
darkness
rest upon and obscure the prospect. The
Empress, no doubt, would be Regent during
the boy's minority, but is France to be ruled
by a sceptre held in a woman's hand ? NAPO
LEON (son
. of JEROME) might then haVe the
ambition • of• assuming imperial sway, though
his unpOpularity in Paris would Militate .
greatly against it. Or, some bold soldier may
cast his sword into the scale, and repeat the
daring of the first NAPOLEON. That 'either
the Bourbon or the Orleans' representative
have the slightest chance of wearing the dia
dem of France seems so utterly out of the
question that nobody appears to think it
worthy of`consideration. France hates the
Bourbons, and the junior as much at least as•
the senior branch—the Count nu PARIS rather
more than the. Count DE eIfAMBORD.
It has sometimes occurred to us, and pos
sibly to others, that NAPOLEON'S scarcely
concealed leaning against tho Union cause, in
our present contest, is the result of distrust,
on account:of our having had the Count DE
PARIS and his brother serving as volunteers in
our army: These young gentlemen, it is uni
versally conceded, behaved with marked gal
lantry in, . our service, and, by their frank
courtesy and bonhomie, made friends of all with
whom they came in contact. Perhaps NAPO
LEON found something annoying in their popu
larity and gallantry, representations of which
reached Europe. It is certain that, ,even
before PALMERSTON volunteered his 'hollow
pretext of neutrality, NAPOLEON bad pro
claimed that principle, which, of late, he
semi rathei inclined to abandon. It may be
assumed that be will not be quite pleased with
the letter, dated 11th September, from the
Count DE • PAnrs to General SICKLES, now
liethe rounds of the newspapers, in which
lie manfully avows his anti-Secession senti
ments. Tie following sentence is well Tut,
and is true as well as frank:
"Depend upon it, however ignorant-and preju
diced may be the public at large, there are still on
this side of the Atlantic some hearts who follow
with emotion the struggle of a great and free
t.ation for her institutions, acid who cannot believe
in the ultimate success of the efforts of a deluded
minority to establish a • new community, whose
corner-stone shell be so odious, so dangerous; and
so precarious an institution as that of slavery."
This, aS the ovidence of a personal witness ;
aught to have a decided influence upon NA.
POLEON. That - it will favorably affect him, as
corning from one of the Orleans princes, is
very much to be doubted.
War Medals
A correspondent, who ought to be well
informed, assures na that the Naval war
medals which Congress has authorized the
President to distribute, in acknowledgment
of eminent services, will be composed of the
same metal for all classes, so that an Admiral
and a man before the mast shall have the
saxne distinction. Also, that the specimens in
gold, silver, and bronze, were executed Only
to show how the medal would appear in dif
ferent metals. In all probability, when the
war is ended, every man who has served in it
with an honorable record will receive a
medal which he and his family ought to trea
sure far above the factitious adornments of
rank and title which European aespots scatter
among their myrmidons.
Another correspondent, who assure§ us that
the Waterloo medal is the same size and
weight of an English crown piece, has allowed
us to examine the army and navy medals,
which, after marty , years' agitation, much op
posed by WELLINGTON, were granted, in Queen
Vioronia's name, to the naval and military
men who had served in the wars against NA
POLEON, or, rather, to the few survivors. They
were also issued, we believe, to the eldest sons
and grandsons. The original medal, of silver,
is large, but another medal, a little smaller
than our silver dime, and twie,e as thick, was
worn by those who did not wish to have nearly
an ounce of silver dangling on their breasts.
These are the medals which we have been al
lowed to examine, and were made by HUNT
and ROWELL ) the well-known London jewel•
lers, and executed by Mr. WEON 3 the modeller
of the British Mint. The naval medal bears
a bust of VICTORIA., and the reverse has a
representation, in relievo, of Britannia riding
a sea-horse. The military medal has the
same obverse, and on the reverse VICTORIA.,
robed and crowned, is, shown placing a
laurel wreath upon the bead of a kneeling
warrior. Surrounding 'this is the inscription
et To the British Army, 1793-1814." Each
medal has its distinctive ribbon by which it is
attached- to the coat-breast or button-hole.
The navy ribbon is white and the military; is
red, each with a narrow edging of blue. As
a cheap acknowledment of merit, such a thing
as this is not without its use. The value con
sists in its being a record of good. service, of
practical patriotism, and of national gratitude.
The annals of warfare have not recorded any
valor so great as than evinced by our citizen
soldiers during.the present war—and every one
of them, or his surviving representative, ought
to receive from his country some tangible
memorial that he, too, bore arms in the great
contest for national rights and human freedom
now waging on our soil.
The Meeting Last Night
We surrender a great part of our space to
day to a report of the meeting at the National
Hall last evening of the friends of the Go
vernment. Apart from the !fact that it was
one of the most enthusiastic demonstrations
we have ever seen in Philadelphia, we cannot
but remark the singular harmony that per
vaded its deliberations, and the presence of
men of all parties to assist in developing and
reorganizing a true loyal feeling. Its presi
dent, Mr. CHANDLER, who was one of Mr. Be-
CHANAN'S ministers at a foreign court, took the
highest ground; and among those that spoke
none were more earnest and bold than our fel
low-townsman, FREDERICK C, BRIGHTLY; Esq.,
who has been hitherto actively in sympathy
with the Democratic organization. He was
for the party until it turned against the Union,
and his duty to the Union places him where
he to-day. We see in the meeting last
night, in the character of those who controlled
it, and in the patriotic sentiments there ex
pressed, signs of encouragement and comfort.
It shows that the friends of the country are
active, energetic, and thoroughly organized.
We think we may augur from this indication,
and irom the others that are crowding around
us, a glorious triumph to the Union cause at
the polls on next Tuesday.
Mr. Covode at the Arsenal.
The Hon. Joan COTODE has been in Phila.
delpbia, on business for the Government. On
Times** afternoon, at the request of Colonel
G. H. ORMAN, Assistant Quartermaster Ge
neral in Philadelphia, he visited the Arsenal,
and, after inspecting its various operations,
Made an address to the employees. Mr. Co-
Tope impressed upon the minds of his audi
ence the great duty of sustaining the Govern
ment in this hour of peril. He recalled- to
their minds the fact that we were now is a war
for the salvation of the Union, and that if we
permitted the • common enemy to triumph,
either on the battle-field or at the ballot- box'
great danger would befall the Republic. He
did not address them as a party man, nor with
a view of influencing them to the support of
meniparty measures. He'had no motive be
yond the salvation of the Republic, and he
called upon them to do_their-tlutN-ii , - 1
—..---..y.,-.1---m-ure - nonoraele member from
Westmoreland was brief, eloquent, and well
received. We take this occasion to speak of
the high integrity which has characterized
Colonel Criossan's management of the Arsenal.
Having in charge one of the largest, if not the
very largest depot for the army in the coun
try, he has so administered its duties that the
Government has been protected, and the mili
tary operations forwarded and strengthened.
Colonel Cnoemms is an officer of the regular
arniy, and is an efficient, courteous, and in
trepid soldier.
That gallant and gifted Douglas Democrat,
JAMES M. Soovn, of Camden, has been
placed in nomination by the Union party of
the First Legislatiie -district of New Jersey
for. the Assembly, and we are not surprised
to tear that his chances of .election are good.
Mr. Scovir, is one of the earnest, con
scientious, and fearless Democrats who have
broken loose from the old organization, and
are now fighting under the flag of the Union.
LETTER FROM "OCCASIONAL."
WASIIIIVOTON, October 8, 1862.
The last and most magnanimous demon
stration of the times is the' general order of
George B. McClellan, commander-in-chief of
the Army of the Potomac, in favor of the
President's proclamation of the 22d of Sep
tember, which decrees that the slaves of all
the rebels in arms, after January: 1, 1863,
shall be at once and forever free. Coming,
as this splendid order comes, immediately
prior to your election in' Pennsylvania, and
from a native-born son of Pennsylvania,
it is regarded here as the most explicit and
emphatic expression
. in favor of' , the Tolley
of the Administration, and against the sympa
thizers with Secession, that these latter days
have called,. forth. General McClellan has
been claimed by,the sympathizers with Seces
sion in your city and elsewhere as a quiet
ally in their attacks upon the President of the
United States. They have made him an object
of praise and of preference. When bitter
partisans assailed him, they held the Adminis
tration responsible for these assaults, and
vowed that he was to be destroyed because
he was a Democrat. They insisted that he
was to be sacrificed by the Republicans. They
refused to acknowledge that the President
stood by him ; that your glorious Governor
Cuaris was his close and intimate friend, and
that large masses of Republicans trusted and
believed in him. 'Thar onty °ldea was to make
of Geo. 13. McClellan an. element of sedition, a
faggot of faction, and the best proof that the
leader of the conquering column of the Smeri
can army was in sympathy with the brigands he
was assailing. They cared nothing for him
unless they could put him in conflict with the
Government they hated. They knew, it' they
could induce him to yield to their importuni
ties, he would be the most potent instrument
in their grand scheme of first dividing and
then dissolving the American Union. I
am free to admit that General McClellan
has bad many temptations presented to him.
I am not of those who wholly confide in his
own confidants. But I can appreciate the feel
ings of a soldier who is attacked because he
does not please mere partisans, and who 'can
not act up to the expectations of exacting
patriots. .d great man, however, is silent in
the midst of calumny. It is only the small
man who winces under the attacks of his foes,
and rushes into print to defend himself against
misrepresentation. Gen. McClellan, in his order
Of Tuesday, has answered those who unjustly
suspected him, and has• rebuked those who
believed him to be willing to yield to their
blandishments. I happen to know that when
the President visited the headquarters of the
Army of the Potomac he jocularly reminded
the young chieftain of the Emancipation act,
so reluctantly issued, because it was hoped
that the rebels would be subjugated with
out it. The answer of General McCiel-'
lan is found in his general order*. , This an
swer is at once a rebuke and a reply to
the sympathizers with Beceesion who have
sought to, use him. lie tells it to his sol
diers. Every soldier in McClellan's army
has a constituency in Pennsylvania. In
this constituency are many who have been
trying to employ the name of. McClellan
as a party-cry against the Government. His
answer to them, and his responsive appeal to
the authorities who have so ably sustained
him, is to be found in the glowing words to his
own troops, that they mast not substitute
," the spirit .at Politicalrfaction for that firm,
steady, and earnest, support of the authority
of the Government, which.is the highest duty
of the American soldier." If George B. Mc-
Clellan can thus appeal to his men-in-arms,
why should not his words sink deep into the
hearts of those who profess to admire and to
love him ? OCCASIONAL.
Death of Paymaster Stamm.
We regret to see noticed the death of Levi D.
Sham, which event took place at Mamaroneck,
New York, on Monday. Mr. Slamm, at the time
of hie death, was a paymaster in the United States
navy, having been appointed to that position > du
ring Mr. Buchanan's Administration. Mr. Stamm
was a native of New York, and at an early age
entered the political arena as a Democrat. He es
poused, with all the ardor he was capable, the cause
of General jaokson, and during his Administration,
he supported with zeal all the public measures of
" old Iliokory." Ile also supported Mr. Van
Buren during his Administration. Shortly: after the
election of Mr. Tyler to the Presidency, Mr. Stamm
established a paper in, New York called the
Plebeian.. It was edited with marked ability, and
continued its existence until after the acces
sion of Mr. Polk, when his office was de
stroyed by the conflagration of the Trebune
building. It was not afterwards renewed.
During the palmy days of the Democratic party,
Mr. Sian= was counted among its leaders, and
his opinions received a great deal of attention.
While on ship-board, pursuing his &Vocation, he
contributed highly-interesting letters to the leading
newspapers of the country. Mr. Stamm was a
finished writer, an accomplished gentleman, and an
honest public officer, and one who won the confi
dence and respect of all with whom be was brougat
in contact. The funeral took Place . from his resi
dence in New York city, yesterday afternoon, and
was largely attended by the editorial fraternity,
and his friends.

THE WAR IN ARKANSAS.
The Movements and Situation of the fte.,
bel Forces.
Sr. 'Lulls, October B. — The Helena (Ark.) corre
spondenceofithe Republican, under date of the 4th into ,
coat tine the following information:
We bare late and very reliable intelligence from the
rebel forces Fin this State (Arkansas) which is regarded
by military authorities bore ae worthy of confidence. It
10 as late as tho 18th and 22d tilt., and seriously modifies
tho many reports we have heard. According to this in
formation, the rebel forces in Arkansas number and are
encamped as follows:
General Hindman, at Audio, 25 miles north of Little
Hock, with 5,000 men and one battery.
Gen. Roan, st White Sulphur Springs, near Pine Bluff,
on the Arkanese river, 60 miles southeast of Little Rook,
with 6,000 troops, tw) regiment; of whom are conscripts,
and unarmed. Also, a Texas regiment, and one battery,
consisting of throe 6-pounders, (from) one 2 pounder,
(brass,) and one Delo piece, mounted.
Gen". Mcßae on the Arkansas river, 80 miles northwest
of Napoleon.
Gen. Raines at Grose Hollows, with a (reported) force
of from 4,000 to 5,000, mostly conscripts.-
'Gen. Holmes is commander-in-chief of all the forces
at Little knock, with about 2,000 mon and two batteries,
one of pounders and threat?. pounders; the other of two
rifled 8. pounders and 2- pound howitzers.' •
Gen. Mcßride is at Batmeille with about 2,oooMen,
only two hundred and fifty of whom are effective.'
Most of the cavalry force bas been dismounted, and at
present it is not believed that they have more than 2,000
cavalry in the State. '
The 'manufactory of munitions of war to at Arkadel
phia, 80 or- 100 miles southwest of Little Rock, and all
the State records and papers have been removed thither.
Although the rebel generals, boast of their intention to
invade Missouri, it is not believed by Intelligent men In
their camps that they will do eo. If they have possession
of the capital of their State, it is all they desire at pre;
sent, and perhaps more than they expect. -•

miles northeast of Corinth. Before nine o'clock
gagement became general and fierce, and a Bangui
battle was fought.

Oar men, under Bosecraos, steal up thaufhlir,lnd
fought with great coolness and bravery. Bat regtant
after regiment, and brigade after brigade poured in n
us, and we were forced slowly backwards, fighting de e
rately.
The rebels pushed forward with determined obstin
and told every foot of advantage ground. They t.
flanked our inferior force on the loft, and were atte t.
lag to get in our rear. We were obliged to fall back
further, 'to prevent this movement from being soca
pitebed.
The otemy were Inside of our breastworks, Pushi
us backwards towards the town, when darkness put
end to the lighting for that day. During the day's'
our loss was heavy, but that of the enemy must h e
largely exceeded ours. Three pieces of the let His i
battery were captured.
After baring stood for so many hours before the e

by the constant exertion.

at the bead of hie brigade. General Oglesby was s t
in the breast.
The Second Day's Fight.
About 4 o'clock on the morning of the 4th the ens
opened briskly on the town with shot and shell. \
Our batteries replied, and for an hour or more heat,.
cannonading was kept up. At the expiration of the.
time two of the rebel guns had been disabled, and shortl
alter daylight their battery of seven guns were capturia
A portentous quietness soon occurred, and it was t
dent that some movement was being made by the ens

The Western Sharpshooters, under Oolonel Burke,'
wore ordered forward as skirmishers to feel the enemrs'
pcsition. At halt past nine o'clock they met the email •
within a quarter at a mile of the advance of our line
battle, advancing rapidly in heavy columns upon tt
town. They immediately opened a murderous fire'
tbo Ekirmialiers, who immediately began to .retire, ri4
turning the fire of the enemy with effect. i

The woods seemed alive with 'rebels, and it appetite
imposcible for this gallant regiment to escape destracia
in their , retreat over three quarters of a mile of MS
ground, which intervened between Meru and our t o
rary works of defence. - -
In -a few moments the engagement became gen I.
Oar battelies opened a destructive fire on the exp. :,
ranks of the , rebels, mowing them down like grass. a
slaughter among them was frightful. Bat with •nn :.
retitled daring and reckleenees they rushed impatuo y
forward.
They charged our works deeperatefy, broke our li
of infantry,' and captured a email fortifiestion, in W.
the battery of the let Missouri wee planted.
Our fortune seemed to be all kiet. A. temporary pe
seized our men, and the rebels once more marched,
the streets of Cloilnth.
New batteries opened upon them. Our men, nn
the direction of a few courageous officers, and Milian's.,
by their example, though thinned in ranks, fought ded
rately. The advance of the enemy was checked. ttlr
wavered, and then fell back. Our last battery was
gained, and once more it hurled destruction into tin
ranks. ,
The.day was saved, and the enemy in full retreat. sk i. \
Our loss was comparatively small daring this fesrfe&
charge. That of the enemy was fully, twenty to our e4o

The Battle at Corinth—Additional Par
particulars.
The Chicago papers of yesterday contain but few addi
tional items to what has already been published, of the
battle at Corinth. The Uhleago Tribune publishing the
official despatches of Gen. Grant, prefaces them with the
following*
In order to gain a correct idea of the battle of Corinth,
it is necessary to go back to the desperate fight at Inks
on the 19th of September: • Gen. Grant had information
prior to that engagement that the rebel Gen. Tan Dorn
was marching up with a heavy.force to flank Corinthnn
the wee, and to attack either that place or Bolivar, Ten
nettle!), while price should move up simultaneously from
lull a; Price'rdirciimiltare at Inas delayed; but did not

Alter the battle of- the 19th he retreated by way of
Iderietta . and Fulton to Tupelo, and then, marched
northWeet to Wherii he jrinod Van Dorn and
Lovell, and the combined forces moved upon Oorloth.
It appears that their main army marched north through
Bnckersville and Jonesboro to'Pooshontas, oa the Mein

the rood to attack Gen.. Reeecrans, while another co

[Special Report for The Press.]
An immense Union mass meeting of the friends of the
National Administration was held last evening, at the
National Hall, iSlarket etreet, below Thirteenth, for , the
purpose of endoreing' the nominations 'of the National
Union Party, and of expressing a determination to sop
port the Government in the prosecution of the war. The
meeting was composed of our most prominent citizens,
and many were present who 'never before attended
gatherings of ibis kind. The meeting could not be
termed one of party, as there were convened men of all
political creeds, who were equally enthusiastic in sup
port of the views expressed by the several speakers. '/ ho
emancipation proclamation of the President, whenever
touched upon, was hailed with the wildest applause and
the loudest expressions of approval. All present wer e
of but one opinic;n, that in the present crisis there could
be but one great party, whose solemn duty it is to lead
every aid and use every exertion in their power to crush
(mirth's wicked rebellion.
The lirge hall was filled to its utmost, the capacity of
the building being scarcely sufficient to accommodate the
masses who pouted in. A fine band of music was iu at.
tendance and discoursed the usual patriotic airs
fib only sit( r eight oiclock,Willtam H. kern called the
meeting to order, and proposed as chairman the Hon.
Jossru B. CHANDLER. This name will received with
loud and long-continned cheering.
kir Chandler took his place on the platform amid
great applause. When order • was finally restored he
spoke as follows:
SPEECH OF HON. JOSEPH R. CHANDLER.
On faking the chair, Mr. Chandler said :
MY FRIENDS AND PELLOW.OITIZEKS: My presence here
to-night conneit be a matter of more astonishment to you
th an ti le to myself. _ Raving arrived at a good old age,
I felt !that it was time for me to withdraw from public
life, and from the loophole of my retreat I have looked
out upon the world .and its government, upon your ac
tions asp arty men and no-party men, and comforted my-.
telt with the bell. f that I could he spared and could pass
away and be forgotten by those among whom( had so long
been remembered. But there are occasions when we must
sacrifice our own wishes to the views of others and our
humblest services are due when kind friends ask them.
[Cheer S.]
' The 11 quest that I should bo present, to night, to join
in your deliberations, was one that I could not decline.
1 see around mu. on all hands, those whom in former
years I met in council upon the affairs of the party to
which I belonged, and also as many of those against
whom we then pitted ourselves in earnest combat, and
'whose zeal in their cause evideuced the sincerity of
their nellef in their principles.' I'come among you this
evening, after so long an absence froanthe public delibe
rations of mY friends, not as a Whig, as you have
known me; not as a Democrat, as I have opposed some
of you; not as a Republican. not as a 4 ' people ' s " man.
not as an anti.,elavery man, or a pro-slavery man—these
email legitimate branches for differeuces of opinion in
tin es when parties may be followed, but, in this emer
gency, I look-beyond them to the great trunk out of
which they all' spring, and proclaim myself simply a
Union man ! [lmmense applause ]
A friend of the Union, and of every man of every creed
and every clime who is friendly and will defend the
Union. '(Cheers ] And I say, clearly and distinctly,
that it I thought any principle less than this was to
occupy the delibmations of those who are assembled
here, I slould feel that I aas not at home In presiding
. over such an assemblage at such a time.
Frienet and tellow-citizens, my voice is not quite as
strong as lA wee twenty years ago, when some of your
lathers wi i e wont to listen to me kindly and patiently;
but my h rt in this cause is es warmly, yes, warmer
than ever, i was in the party measures—those legitimate
movement' of men who then mingled in the public af
fairs
oftcountry. [Cheers ] I am not disposed to
occupyr time, which may be more profitably en
gaged istening to others ' who will address you upon
the,greuestion of the day.
It I lid time and strength, I would like to say a word
upon tib causes of the rebellion and its remedy. The
rebels if the South, now in armr, have manifested a spirit
Of nn
c
n which would be worthy of all commendation in
• bit cause. The North, trusting in ire numbers, Its
wealt , its greatness, and the justice of Its cause, has had
Ana that union than was necessary to the perpetuation
.01 it Government; and one of the objects of this meet
. ing idle procure, as her as possible, the union of every
lionteheart and every honest hand, at least in this city,

in t film ions work. [anima

A have been told abroad, and as you would ender
star • if you were to cross the ocean, it was not our
Aft ' hundred millions of acres within our States and
or teed Territories; or the 'thirty millions of- people
th till those acres, that commanded , the respect of
fer gn nations, but it was the union of States, the union
.of aides, and the common feeling of our people
a - rover they were and however they were situated.

JP in the moment it was understood on the other side of
th water that there was danger of a dissolution of the

hone whose existence imperil her wealth and standing.
i Fellow.citizene I will not hirther occupy your time.
I ought to have said some momenta ago what I now say,
that I thank you for the position to which you have
'tailed me; but more especially do I thank you for the
cordiality with which I have been r..ceived after so long
an absence. After thin expression of heartfelt thanks,
permit me to announce that this meeting is now organ

This is the hour of danger. Never in the history of
Ott e r relations, never in the history of the world, has there
been a rebellion of such gigantic and monstrous propor
tions ter the present, and 130962 had it so little canes.
Without cause, without reason; in defiance of right,
truth, and justice, madmen have rais.si the parrioidsl
hand, and are now striking down this great and glorious
land of ours. This mighty nation is to-night slunk
to the death throes okan agony that may result in h er
latter destruction. And yet, with all this noon us, we
have men in our midst who stand aloof anti hear with
indifference the cry of our country, " Help, help
against the wicked and the m , gbty.' , They stand back,
shrouding themselves in a miserable, cowardly, SA Illtiort
neutrality that knows no loyalty, that is averse to a
noble patriotism, and recreant to everything that is true
and noble in American manhood. If there is a sympa
thizer . with rebellion to night in this room—l care not
by what name he may be called—let me tell you, North
ern man or Northern sympathizer, you are too ranched
a coward to be a traitor or you would not be here.

Your place, to-night, is with the minions of Jeff Davis,-
and nothing but your place. bkn)king meanness keeps
you away from that rebel horde. leo, gentlemen, I can
not with all the conservative character, (which, I believe
I have tbo reputation of powwowing.) I cannot treat with
common politeneee the man who will sneeringly tell me
that this is '• your war," that this is an Abolition war, that
this is a war for the negro. Be knows bitter. He utters
a lie before high Heaven when be makes that assertion.
Romp continued applause ] We have a class of nen
among us who have no sympathy with thieglorions move
ment, this mighty uprising of an upright people to save
their nation from destruction—to sympathy wha ever.
They look at the noble man who now controls the deed
nice cf the nation[cheers] not as the representative of
the people; but loo king at him with eyes that cannot see
beyond their own dirty party line, they regard him as a
mil e party man. But, thanks to the noble and the brave,
Order 163 has to-night made McOlelisn for Lincoln and
for the war. All honor to our noble, gallant chief—the
leader of our victorious hosts upon the Potomac. Let
that order be read in the presence of some of these
itikitg, malignant, cold blooded neutrals, and
let it bo a scorching, withering rebuke to their
baseness, when a hero, a patriot, and a statesman,
in the presence of thirty millions, can tell the army that
the civil power must be carried out, and that it is their
business to defend the nation and- the Governmett.
- Whet a noble contrast there is between the statesman
and patriot hero and the little slimy politician: The con
trast, gentlem n. you can draw. To name it Is to speak
the infamy of those who would strike down Mc'Jlellan
and mph the Administration.
"1 he Union as it was, the Constitution as it is ; free
speech abd free press; the .draft, taxes"—these are the
cries that you bear now from the party not for the
Union, but the party who stand beck and osy this war is
not for the troii n and liberty, but for the negro. Why,
gentlemen. I stand here to-night, and advocate fur the
freedom of speech and of the press, in all its length and
breadth. But let me tell gentlemen who are so cla no
rolls for the freedom of the press and of speech, that
there is a limit to that freedom even in a land of liberty
and right, a limit to freedom of both speech and the
press. Tell me, any one of this intelligent andi
ence,', where in on' Constitution, or where, in that book
of books, s bleb Is above all constitutions, do we find
the right of any man, claiming whatever freedom he
may, to do wrong. [Applause.] I say to that man who
speaks treason and then falls • back upon hie reserved
right, " Ton infringe the liberty of speech." I say to
the traitor editor, who uses treasonable language against
the Admioistratien or the war, "Sir, son do wrong in
paralyzing the Administration, you are abusing the
liberty of the press." The convict in your penitentiary
MU use the same argument : What right bad the sheriff
to arrest him for setting fire to his cwn home? Why,
do not these men who are now so clamorous for the liberty
of the press and of speech, fully illustrate the old saying
of Eudibras

With good opinion of tho law 7"
If more of these men felt the halter di aw, they would

of Northern miserable neutrals, the President, in all the
manhood of a noble American, dale raise his voice, and,
before tbirty millions of people, Mtn a blow at the very
fortress of the enemy..
As a war measure, it exhibits consummate skill ana
wis
dom that generations may envy. Why should the rebels
possess a power that we have not, which enables them
to mass armies, and ee..ds them to !moot down thousands
of our fellow •chizens 3 Why should Union men guard
the homes and slaves of Southern rebels 'I Why should
they be compelled to watch the property of the masters
and cultivate their farms ' while our eons and brothers
are in the army fighting for liberty now and liberty for

of the rebellion when he struck at slavery. Why, gen
tlemen, as a measure of war, is it wrong ? ; by
every principle of humanity, onaw, and of constitutional
and religions right, God and conecionoe will approve it.
Then, gentlemen, what have we witneseed, and what
are we now witnessing, on, our borders? Who have let
loose upon the nnoffending inhabitants of our Western
frontier the merciless savage, with his cruel scalping
knife and bloody tomahawk, making the cottage to
flame, the wife to live in agony, and the hnseand to
welter in his blood ? The accursed. emissaries of this
accursed rebellion have set the davaga upon our citizens
atd they are murdered night after , night. These rebel
emissaries have been leading on their hell-hounds against
the loyal soldiers of the Union. And when we say to
the rebels, '• Your slaves shah not be your strength,"
then what word of commendation is there from our
Noribern sympathizers? None. except that ,tve are
Abelitiocitts, and that they will resist the war and
overthrow the President. Where is the rebuke from
these men when the rebels let loose the savage upon tin
'offending citizens? It is nowhere
Gentlemen, it is time this war should be a war .in ear

hours of the morning are upon us, and from the many

SPEECH OF. P. C. BRIGHTLY, ESQ.
FELLOW-CITIiIMS : For many years I have been known
to you as a Deinecrat—a Democrat of the strictest echooL
I was a friend of James Buchanan ; I voted for Breckin
ridge ; I have' upheld the rights of the. Southern people,
under the Constitution, as long as they had any rights
under it, and now you find me• on the Union ticket,
select( d by the Union- liming people of the Twenty
second ward, as one of their nominees; and you may
well ask me, wherefore this great change 7 [Cheers.]
My first reason is, fellow-oitizene, that I love my
country and her institutions better than I ever loved the
Democratic party. Another, and one which cannot fail
to influence any reflecting mind, is the gliring tact, to
which co tone , men can shut his oyes, that the Demo
cratic leader o in this State are in opposition to the 'Go
vernment, false to their allegiance to the Union and
striving daily and hourly for the success of the wicked
and causeless rebellion which now drenches our once
happy laud in blood. Bleed, fellow-citizens, the blood
of freemen, waters the fields of. Virginia, and shed for
what? For what is the South in arms? and for what is
the sound of the Northern soldiers' dram? The South,
in which for the last twenty years no Northern man
could enjoy the rights guarantied to him by the Consti
tution, has flown to arms because the North has one
' ceeded in electing a - Chief Magiatrate whom they could
not hope to enslave, and froth whbm they pretended to
fear °egression. And the people o. the North have risen
in their might to uphold the ClOnstitution and the laws,
and to sweep from their grasp everything in opposition
to their free institutions._:[Applause.]
This war, fellow• citizes, is not prosecuted for the ex
tinction of slavery, but if it,reeult in wiping out that
foul blot from our cetintry's'otherwihe olefin escutcheon,
I, for one, will heartily thank Almighty God that I have
Jived to see that day. When I was
,a Democrat I la
bored, it would seem, under the delusion that Democracy
'was bated on the principle of human freedom; but the
Democrats of the present day are wiser than their fore
fathers They have been enlightened—whether froth
above or from below, I know tot—with the idea that the
corner. stone of Democratic institutions is slavery. To
me thin thought is so abhorrent that, in itself, it would
have been enough to drive me from the party whioh. so
lond'y and unblushingly proclaimed it.
, :But theleis another cause, which to operating a great
change in political opinionis. The events r transpiring at
the present day go deep .te the very foundation of our
intnitutions ; they touch the diverging point between the
old Ftdoral and Democratic parties. They prove to no
that the disoiples of Jefferson were wrong In their an
ticipations of danger, from the powers granted to the
Federal Government. And they tell in a voice of thun
der that Hamilton was right, when he said that the
danger to our institutions lay in the reserved powers of
the States. .
Fellow-citizens, the r emooraoy prate loudly of their
devotion to the Constitution, and express their horror at
any violation of its provitione by. the Administration.
Passing by the question whether there has been any di
reot violation of the sanctions of the Constitution, which
I by no means admit, I wouldask my Democratic friends,
Whether it is not better, . first, to restore .the Union of
these States, before we talk about the re. establishment
of • the Conetittitiorrwhich wae framed for their govern . -
.ment. We must remember that the Constitution, as it
-'now stand?, was the result of a corupromiee. - Tbe North
ern Statee,would. not have framed the present Constitu
tion, neither would the Southern ones. The Constitution
was from d for the government of a united country ;.it
was establithed to regulate the intercourse of one seotton
with another, whilst united as ono people ; but it never
was designed to be obligatory :ripen the citizens of one
section of the country, whilst a third of it was in rebellion
Atgeiatt e constituted authorities. This was lett to be
regulated by the Military law, which is all-sulliclent for
the exigencies of the moment, and when the crisis is past,
end peace once more reigns amongst us, then wo will re
• establish the .Constitntion in all its integrity, for then
again we shall be one people. [Cheers.]
Bul wliat ilii•uier at rue present moment 2 To
orgaulke against the common enemy. 'While our sons
and brothers are battling with the armed hordes of the
South in the field, it is our duty to combat the tresolie
roils foe in our very midst. We know.thesetraitors are

very noses, and we ]mow that the last hope of the rebel's
is a Democratic victory at the ensuing elections in the

It is in vein to disguise the feet that a D. mooratic vic
tory in this State on Tuesday next would be worth more
to the rebel cause then a- reinforcement'oreo.ooo men.
Yon all know it—Yon all feel it—aud volt must be up and

it his business to induce some one. at least; of his neigh

srEßcli OF COL. FORNEY.
Nearly Biz years ago, impelled by a stern sense of duty,
and impressed by the
.belief that the Administration of
Mr. Buchanan had resolved to violate the pledgee upon
which It was elected, and to prepare the way for the dis
solution of el) Union, I - determined to I eke Isms" with
the organization of the Democratic , party. Reared and
educated in the.belief, that that party was devoted to the
American Union, and profoundly convinced that the
teaching. of Ito fathers were beat calculated to preserve
this great. , brotherhOod of • Staler, I contemplated the
-treachery of Mr. Buchanan as not only a violation of the
traditions of the old Democracy, but a deliberate insult
to the doctrines wnich had been banded down to us_byr,
Thomas Jefferson. If I had one motive more powerful
than another to impel me during all these years, It was so
to appeal to my old Democratic friends' to correct' and
check the heresies and corruptions of the tedministration,
to the election at wilt.* they had eontributad so much,'
as to prevent the nation from falling to pieces, and to :A
my er and secure the triumphant ascendancy of that
timebonored party. (Applaose.) • Hence, •whanever ,
bad the honor , to address the people I sought to sneak
to an audience of Democrats • I knew right Wall that
the errors and proscriptions of the last'. Administration
would be seized by the general Opposition, and would tie
used for their 'own idyantagre but I felt that the best
way to make the rebuke permanent, and to perpetuate
through Ml time the memory of ten unparalleled be
trayal of confidence, was to ,flu the Ventooratic heart
with a keep and stinging terse of the :wrongs which
bad been perpetrated upon thei . Damooratte people. In
the whole ritual of the Democracy I could see no such
sinister idea as Sem erten. its creel, if it had any a:pm
thg, was the largo et toleration of opinion, she freest
fre , dem, the stroogest affection for all the 'niftier , *
children of men, and, above all, a lasting, religion);\
nnehanging, and idolenrons devotion to the Union, thit
one of its formulas advocated or taught any other lesson.
[Cheers
To-night I appear before (meeting composed of meteor
all parties, instinct and alive with the great idea that
the precious inheritance bequeathed to net by the homer
and sages of the past is in imminent peril, and that'll:a
deadliest foe, including those who are new arrayed
against it in the battle-field, emblnettimety claim to tight
against it in the name of Lemooraoy. Among the fierce
soldiere who are now seeking to tate the life of the Be
publies *ere is not tone who does not Procleitit that he it
a Democrat—there is not one who. while execrating the
Northern people; does not reserve for praise and reward
the men who will vote against the uncooditional
Union ticket on Tuesday next ; nor tethers a single leader
of the so- milted Democratic party, here and elsewhere,
who does not chef lab a secret, and too often an open, em
pathy for the embattled rebellion. [applause.]. It tenet
for me to solve this stupendous problem, to explain why
it is that the Democracy, from having. been tee great
soldier of freedom on this continent, has so far fallen
fr..m its high estate. has so turned upon its dazzling , re
cord, bas so far confronted the deeds that have made its
triumphs an many examples to guide and educate the
public mind, as now to be, on the one hand, the armed
assailant of the Union, and on the other the deadly and
remorseless foe of the Government. It is no purpose
of mine to arraign the masses who call themselves Demo
crats under this indictment I know well, lilt. Chair
man, bow frequently and bow sadly the people of this•
conctry and of all countries allow themselves to be.
misled and deceived. Our own history abounds with in
stances of this troth. 'ln times past we have seen anti
masonry sweep over a portion of this Union lice a pesti
lence, my fairy Mg and bewildering the most intelligent,
and changing majoritiewahnoetln a night. This popular
delirium has puzzled the phileitopttereven more than that
which we new remember and regret, under the name of
snow-Itothinglem ; and at this hour there are living thou
seeds of men, who, on the 14th of October, wit! honestly
vote 'al; sin et the Government aisd the war, and who, in an
other short year, will mourn in sack- cloth and ashes their
fatal mistake. They will then see what we see. They
will then admit, frankly, to each other, not only
the t they allowed themselves to be carried away
from a high and solemn obligation, but that those who
misled them were no more entitled to the name
of Dem.crats than a rebel is entttled to the name of
patriot, or a sinner to the name of a saint. I know how
difficult it is to break away from the Democratic organi
zation. Weak mon, as they confess to the enormities of
the Democratic leaders, are terrified at tho idea of re
elating them, and so commit themselves to the current,,
mall at last they ate brought to a sense of their errors
by some glaring, nnmbnakable, and notorious act of
shame. Never in the world's history was there a mare
causeless rebellion than this; never in the world's histo
ry was there a more causeless mid malignant mop ement,
than that which le now directed against the war, and
against the Government. in the loyal States. What
do these Democratic leaders proles, to do? Search
through . their speeches and their platforms, and I
defy any man to point me to any single practical
remedy for our public difficult Me. They witiclse the
General Administration; they misrepresent tne ants of
00Pgress ; they magnify the expenses of the war; they
appeal to the lowest interests and meanest prejudices in
our nature. But can you discover any one thing In all
their recommendations that will help the State, encou
rage the Freeidera, confound the common enemy, or aid
to fire and unite 'he loyal people? Stripping away their
professions, they stand before us unconcealed enemies
of the State, because they are known to favor the sepa
ration of the dtatee ; the adversaries 'of the President,
whom they constantly ridicule atd condemn; in close
and conscientious blipped:ix with the common enemy,
and the active dianthus of that popular unity without
which this war cannot be conducted -to a successful
cloth. I am sure I do these men no injustice
in this classification. Let me make a common
sense application of this remark. Of what earthly use
would a known Brecklnridge politician be in the Cosi
gn se of the United State.? Take any one now running
in opposition to the Union ticket, and, with two or three
inconsiderable exceptions, they are not only men who
can do no good to anybody, but all of whose acts since
the commencement of the war, as all of whose expres
sions at this very moment, will impel them to do harm to
every loyal interest. They prove this by their impeni
tence in regard to their conduct from the time James
Buchanan turned his back upon his honor, and from the
period when Sumpter fell, They prove it by their hypo
critical professions of loyalty. They prove it by honor
ing a mouth. piece like Francis W. Hughes, who flung
the banner of the dissolution of the Union to the breeze
in February, 1861, and still keeps it flying, and they . prove
It by the still stronger proof that they utter no word
of confiderce in any single member of the Government.
How can such men assist the Government in this dark
hour?.Do they propose to do this by setting up a
standard of honesty, covered all over, as they are, with
the reeking infamies of the. Buchanan Administration
Do they propose to do so by denouncing and weakening
the common enemy when they are in sympathy wi,h him?
I will tell you what their object is: It is to force a pease
upon the basis and understanding that this Union shall
at once and forever be dissolved. These Democratic
leaders pretend to be the friends of George B. McClellan.
took at his splendid appeal to the soldiers in the army,
published in the morning papers, in which he calls upon
them to stand by the constitute d authorities, in regard
to the roost assailed measure of the Administration—l
mean the emancipation' proclamation. ' He says; e, The
principle upon which, and the objects for which, armies
shall be emptoi ed in suppressing a rebellion mast be de
termined and declared by the civil authorities ; and the
Chief Executive, who is charged with the administration
of strains, is the proper and only source through which
the views and mows of the Government can be made
known to the armies of the Union."
And again that

ly and earnestly to support the autitority of Me Govern

but, like good patriots they have yielded their own views
to the emergency, content that the experiment should bo
fried. The best way to put an end to taxation, to reduce
the debt, to atop confiscation, and, it you please, al
though that Is not among the possibilities, to arrest
emancipation, is to nut an end to this wicked rebellion,
to sustain the Government in suppressing it, to hold up

BR. IeCEIIRE'S SPEECH.
'
FELLOW. CITIZENS : A deadly, relentless foe has grap
pled with the Republic. Its aim is the subversion of con
stitutional liberty throughout the continent; and it can
not triumph, however partially, withortt striking at the
very vitals of order and security, and leaving - as a future
fraught with anarchy and despotism. -
In such a aids, with the well-being of thirty millions
depending upon the issue, the partisan should% be lost in
the tah let The man who now seeks to attain a partisan
triumph, regardless of the common weal, is weak and
deluded, or is a deliberate foe to the Government. When
the loyal hearts of tho North shall haVe restored the ne
tters to unity and fraternity, and driven treason and its
abettors and sympathisers beyond the hope of future
power and evil, we can then differ, as • in .times past, as
to the - true policy of the Government. Bat Until then,
there is one duty to which every- other mustbe subOrdlt
nate ; one aspiration, one hope, one prayer,.moie earnest
'thawed). the red. -It is the preservation of • the Govern
ment, the unity of the Republic.
I shall make no partisan appeals to , night- I earnestly'
beseech the sincerely loyal of all political persuasions to
make common cause in behalf of a common and a .periled
country: I isle abont me many whom I have heretofore
met in the rugged strife of: politics as foe& .0n the issues I
then ; dividing us we would be divided still; but they join
in ignoring party trines and patty triumphs, because it
is the dictate of patriotism an to do.
I do tot charge that all who shall act otherwise are
disloyal:. , The masses of the people orPenneilvimiti, of
all parties, are faithful to the Government. They may
be deceived by tricksters, and lured by their life-time
love 'of party, into unintentional but fearfal wrongs bat
they Will return to their highest and haired dtitylse truly'
as the oscillating needle will turn to the pole:
I do know, however, that every foe of the Govern
rel

sympathizer with treason; every one who has hailed
- our season of eational disaster end gloom with de
light; every fiend who has rejoiced as thousands of our
eons: and brothers fell on the gory field. vainly resisting
the foe—all these will vote against the ticket I urge upon
'you to-night. They will do it with a purpose—a deaths
rate„tixed, and solemn purpose ; and if successful, they
will not have labored and, hoped entirely in vain. They
know well that if Pennsylvania shall cast her mighty
'slice against the Union ticket, there will be Joy not only
wherever treason has a home within the State, but there
,is not a murderer of our heroic brethren in the field, from
