[Correspondence of The Preml
WASHINGTON, October 9
There are two things needed by the capital of our
country—relief from the great number of officers who fill
up its streets, and more rain, The former camel° droves,
the latter never appears. All the prayers of the commu
nity for the absence of one and the presence of ihec,ther,-
seem unavailing. Dust and ehoulder straps control us
and hold us captive. 4
Taking advantage of the dulness of Washington, I re
cently extended my'field of operations to Virginia, paying
a brief *bit to,the troops and camps over the river. The
important part of what I saw has been already telegraph
ed yon. Whilst there, by the kindness of Lieut. Heath,
of the 14th illastachusetts, I was shown through E'ort
Craig, and cannot but admirethe cleanliness and mien
tion of all things in it. The guns were all mounted,
ranged for the important points they commanded, painted
black, and kept so clean that they fairly shone. Each
mortar was theronghly polished and protected from the
weather by a tarpaulin. The lawns inside were am3othly
shaven and carefully Swept. Each slope and rampart wee
se perfect as the etttctest martinet: could wish. Yankee
thrift And care were . vi sible everywhere. • •
Most of the troops were preparing otitis *inter guar:
tern. Log bath of true Virginia stile, plastered with_ the,
clay•mnd of the Arlington hills, were going up ail
around. General Lee's Sheds and shanties were bel?iiEt .
carried off by piecemeal, and hammer, axe, and intsVrt:
Moll converted them into 'comfortable homes. There
were very few, of the regiments whose troops Were not',
preparing for.the winter, and the negligent were eitheri
old ones, expecting every moment to change their 10 - ca.:
tion, or 1)M ones not yet inflated into ai the mysterie's:
of soldier life.
thing which appeared rather odd amid the extra ,
vegance of en army was the etre with *bleb the met, - „
who acted as cooks,
,preserved the - contents of theig..
difiTilig•ltins. Not aParticle of grease was, allowed toF
be wasted. All this economy was caused by the ditUy
journeys of indefatigable soap ! fat men across , the • river
and through the catriPti. , Bich one had an oldhorse anti.. ;
a cart load of greasy - oaSks, and was protected by a pais
from the Beeretary of *sr. - Rather go xi prices were
given for tho articlicollected. The tariff and tangs
have both seriously affected the soap and candle trade, '
arid of course, every' effort is made to Procure the raw
material as , cheaply as possible Another evidence of .
the ways resorted to to make money is found in the -el
teneive business carried 'on by a hone.boiling establish- .
went, loCated on
_;the river bank. The Propririteihai
his bone colecters all through the army and they bring
the article there to be ground and boiled. A vast profit
is reaped, not only from the t ale ofjthe manure producbd,-
but also from the horns of the cattleeind the large bones
which are carefully assorted from the others; for•mann
facture into knife. handles, dec.
One of the moat profitable occupations created by the
war is that of carrying newspapers to the camps around
Washington. Numerous papers, printed at New York,
Philadelphia, Baltimore, and Washington, are daily car.•
Tied into Virginia and Weetern Maryland. The Balti
more papers reach this city at about half past six in : the
morning, the Philadelphia ones at ball peat nine. and the
New York papers at dusk. It is a perfect show to the
inexpexiincod to watch the railroad depot . Upon the
arrival- of a train, and witness the reception and sending
off of the huge bundlee of news.
The Washington depot never was a picturesque affair,
and since a mushroom
. growth of eating-houses have
sprung up, under the stimulus of the arrival of so many
troops, it and the dusty street in front are uglier-than
ever. Before , the whistle of the locomotive , is heard,
droves of men and boys, in all stiles of raggedness,
Quarrel, play, and upset the stands of the apple women
placed around the doorposts. When the train ap•
proachee, however, all is changed. The boys who go - to
the camps quickly mount their ateeda, and stand.ready
for others to give them the papers. [ben the bandies
are opened, the quantitiee taken by each are quickly
counted off, and each' boy, taking his stock under his
arm, hits hla mule a whack, and is off on a full trot to his
customers.
Dealers, bowever,eften do business upon a grander
scale, Buggies,. kid even wagons are einployid, and
thousands of newspapers are taken. These. are thrown
i n t o the vehicle as nuickly as possible, and the berets are
urged et their- highest speed to the scene of operations.
When campi . Ts,reached . , the scene is an interesting one,
and-to oboir' It in !nil periectionl had better follow one
of the vendors to camp. Thtiie is an old gentleman hem,
familiarly called "The'Old Man", by the troops, who
carries a large, number of newspapers to He .
goes a l ong yetaureir, Wipe say a his news is e r ofodi that it
*ill bear waiting for. ?Alien he B:Heti a can hts_conria
is somewhat thus: He'driveb hie buggy among.the tents,
and cries out '
Come out and hear thenewa"..-
Jnd lf they_ornA he will ocatione:•.
"Here you wet'
out and here the news; there'S little of it, but what there;
is, ie good."
4‘ Say, took- a-here, old man, is the paymaster comin' ?"
"Why, hasn't the'Paymaiter come yet ?"
No; and we tint been pald-for six months."
t‘ Well, you may take my word for it, that he's surely
speculating on the funds." .
And then a ocean will surround him with, ••pay, old'
man , g i ve me a paper; and, "old man, can yon change •
me is note?" and, "old man, is there any news?" and,
••got any magazines'?" a " paper," and forty other ques
tions, all poured in upon him together. But the "old
man" answersthom all. Ile brings them.magazluea and
papers, changes their notes, reads the news to those
whom the non•arrival of the paymaster prevents from
buying the paper, and then leaving the camp, gees with.
the good wishes of every soldier init. His principle is to
do right by every one, and oblige all, and.no man who
crosses the Potomac withnewspapers, is more anxiously
sought by the toxins.
This, business brings enormous profits to those who
exercise it. Philadelphia and Baltimore papers are de
livered at the depot .at one and a half cents apiece.
Those from New York oost two and a.half. None are
retailed at less than five, and.some bring as high as ten
cents. One dealer has made fifty dollars net profit each ,
day for weeks past, and all are paying themselves well.
There is some risk connected with the business. however.
Iftraina fail in connection, or camps are moved, there is
a lots. For days after any great news is received there
is always it great demand for the papers, atterwsrd it
falls off somewhat, until some new excitement raises it
again. The business; however, is always good, and al
ways profitable. .h 0:

gates to a Etate Convention, to be bold in Jackson. The
enthusiasm wa• great, and the Court House did not hold
one-half of the people in attendance.
I next appeared at Adrian, a town of several thousand
inhabitants, in Lenawee county, the second county I n
the State, and was the guest of the Hon. 0. F. Beaman,
the present member of Congress from that district; r.
spoke to an audienceof eight or ten thousand persons,
for an hour and a half, from a stand within the fair
ground enclosure.
I next attended the County Fair at Marshall, Calhoun
county, and spoke i 4:•
,an audience
.. of about sovon thou•
end persons, from a central stand, and was able to make
myself heard by the - entire crowd, for ono hour and a
half.
I have just addressed an audience of six or seven thou
sand, on the fair grounds at this beautiful and growing
town. The meeting wes an enthusiastic one, and the
people united, harmonious, and zealous in their support
of. the - war ;Olio of. the Administration—ready, when
their gallant soldiers fall in battle, to take their places,
and continue the fight. I beheld many ladies before
me, clad in the habiliments of sorrow, mourning for their
relatives who have already fallen in this wicked, cruel,
and unnatural War, forced upon the country by the bad
nun and corrupt demagognee of the Southern Oonfe-
•
doracy.
Those county fairs are largely attended, and exhibitors
attend in great numbers, and make hnodrod of entries at
each fair. They are all, mere or less, successes, and
everything works pleasantly. The receipts are even
greater than in former years, as the officers report to me.
Where.l have spoken several thousand tickets have been
sold at twenty-five cents for admission, the proceeds of
wbich,'efter deraying expenses, go to promote the inte
rests of thO society. The managers told mo that the
speaking has secured to them unusually large audiences.
I can testify that the crowds are not only overwhelming
ly large, but they are intelligent and attentive listeners,
and radiant in all that constitutes the glory of autumnal
toilette tints. The ladles— God bless them come out by
thousands, crowd the stands, occupy the front seats, and
cheer me on in the work of opposing this Infernal rebel
lion. the tout-impirli,g effect of their preeence, and the
splendor of the scene they present to the eye, is of too
ravishing and dezting a character to admit of a descrip
tion fully adequate, even if I were capable of drawing
the picture. My powers of endurance would give way
under the magnificence of the scene, as I advance upon
one of thcse Mends to address the surrounding thousands,
had I not gone through the ordeal before, in New York,
Brooklyn, Boston, Portland, Philadelphia, Baltimore,
Cincinnati, Chicago, and other large cities in the Union.
I repeat what I took occasion to say in my letter from
Detroit—l bad never appreciated the State of Michigan
until I visited here, and beheld its growing importance.
The t 6,000 square miles of the State are a broad, level,
fertile plain, of the best farming lands. The apples are
tbo finest I have any where met With, and they are very
abundant. The Irish potatoes are very flee, abounding
in every variety, and so abundant that, in the interior,
they are selling at 20 to 26 cents per bushel; The
reedits of wheat per day at Detroit amount to
100,000 bushels, and these of corn to 20000, as
an intelligent merchant informs me. 'What a great
end glorious State is ldiebigan ! In the cause of educa
tion, Michigan %taking the lead of most other Swag;
improving upon the New England free school& The
free reboots ate accessible to all, and the wealth of the
country is taxed to pay the salaries of tho teachers, GO

(From the New York Express of last evening.]
The. Convention met again this morping, the'Rev. Dr.

would be submitted. '
Morning preyer was commenced by the Rev. Dr.

to be presented by a Committee of Nine on the rebellion.

He moved the following : . .
Resolved, That speakers on the report of the Commit.

the Church the Bonn, be limited to fifteen minutes.
The motion was put, and an affirmative vote was taken
on it; when . •
Mr. Boggles rose, and hoped this side of the House
would have the same indulgence extended to them, as
had been extended to the other.
Rev. Dr. Vinton, in moving to lay the motion on the •
table, argued that full, free, at d ample discussion on the
great subject expected . before the House qoald be al

Rev. Dr. Bisbee spoke in favor of Rev. Dr. Vinton's

It was, however. decided to take-a vote by dioceses on
the next plaza of meeting of. the Convention Sm.
The becrotary announced that the vote takes to select
a place of meeting was indecisive; and Mr. Stout and
Rev: Dr. Vinton then made eloquent appeals to the
House to appoint Chicago as the location of the next tri
ennial Session.
'Judge Charles moved that the sut•fect be referred to a
joint committee of the House of Clerical and Lay Depu
ties. The motion was lost, and a resolution in favor of
Chicago as the next place of meeting was adopted by a
large majority.
THE REPORT ON TILE BEBELLJON
Rev. Dr. Mead field the hour had arrived for the order
of the day—the report of the Committee of Nine on the
state of the rehellion.
Hon. Robert 0. Winthrop, in commencing to read the
report, said the committee had completed their work. He
felt bound to say that the resolutions were not his oma ;
and that the committee, like all other- legislative bodies,
had, atter deep consultation and mutual concessions of
opinion on all the Vielltiailliinvolved, brought their labors
to • a harmonious close. The last meeting. they had
held was after the great service had• taken place at Trinity
Church—where they had smites inprayers for the coun
try—the flag of which was waving, in all ftapcuity, from,
the great spire of 'that temple. Re hoped there would be
the tame eptrit - of 'unanimity, of mutual cOncendoo, and
a desire to harmonize as a church, as had been displayed
by the committee, and• that. the report which he was
about to read would meet with the concurrence of the
house. The report was signed by every member of the
committee. The gentleman then road the following re
port:.
,
The special committee of nine, to whom were referred
the several propositions offered successively by Messrs
Brunet, Carpenter, Andrews, Roffman, and Warren, and
by the Rey. Mr. Burgess and the Rev. Dr. Leeds—all of
them relating to the condition of 'our Church stranded
by the condition of our country—respectfolly submit the
following report:'
"The committee have been deeply Impressed with the
importance and with the difficulty of the duti assigned
to them. They have examined with care all the various
resolutions which have been referred to them, and have
not lost sight of the subsequent suggestions, which have
been made in debate,.l4 members of this body from many
different'partsof•onr conntri- ,
In framing the resolution which they have at length,
after much deliberation, agreed upon, they have had
threelesdiog objects in view. They have designed to leave
no room for honest doubt, or even for invidious mon
struotion, as to the hearty loyalty of this body to the
Government of the United States. They have desired to
confirm and strengthen the unity of the Church, as
represented in this Convention. And., they have at
tempted eo to refer to the course of our brethren who
are not represented here, as to shut no door, of recon
ciliation which is still open, and to afford the best hope
that they may still be induced to reconsider and retrace
their steps, and to. renew their relation's; in Christian
love sod loyalty, to a oommon Church and a common
Country. .
The committee hive felt that it was not fit for , this Con
vention to pet or speak as if they deepaired, or in any
degree doubted of the ultimate restoration of the legiti
mate National. authority over our whole land. They
have felt, too, that the question before theur was not so
much as to what might be done, or what might be said
by this body, as a matter of stern justice; in vindication
of the authority or the dignity of the Church ;. bat as to
what it was wise:to door say at this moment consistently ,
with our convictions, and with,a view to preserve, nn
broken and undisturbed, every remaining link or tie of re
ligious association and Christian aympathy which might
be of use hereafter in'accompliebing the'great end of re
storing our National Union - -
The committee are unwilling to cowhide their report
without
. one otber suggestion. While there could have
been no hesitation„ under any circumstances,' in ex
pressing, now and always, our earnest and abiding
loraity and devotion to our country, its Constitution,
and its Jaws, end to aid the Auly.constituted autho
rities, they. have hit that, there yet rested upon this Con
vention the most solemn' obligation to abstain from en
tering upon 'any narrower questions, which peculiarly
belong to the domain of secular politics. Our blessed
Lord, in declaring that _ His kingdom - was not of
this world, and In directing us to render unto Omar the
Moss that are Camar'e, has chorly taught us that,
whether as ministers or as legislators and councillors
of BM Church, we are to refrain from those matters
which Ile has not committed to our care There is
doubtless a difficulty in the minds of many in clearly
discerning the precise boundary line between the sub
jests which come within our jurisdiction arid Draper
sphere of duty as Christian ministers and ecclesiastical
councillors, and such as belong exclusively to secular
politics. But the committee can hardly doubt that there
will be a general concurrence in the opinion that, in this
most critical period in the historrof Our Church and of
our country, when words are things, and when rash ut
terances at one end of the Union may co.operate with
rash acts at the other in extiognishtng the best hopes
wkich remain to us, it is wise for such a body as this to
err mate safe side, If we must err at all, and to keep
ourselves clearly within the limits which the councils of
our Church havehltherto so uniformly observed.
In accordance with these general views, the-under
signed recommend the adoption of the following reap
lotions:
Resolved, by the House of Clerical and Lay Depu
ties of this stated Triennial Convention, That, as
sembling, as Ise have been called to do, at a period of
great national will and deplorable civil convulsisn '
it is
meet and proper that we should have called to mind dis
tinctly and publicly that the Protestant Episcopal
Church of the United States hath ever held and taught,
In the language of one of its articles of religion, that •' it
is the duty of all men tvho are professors of the Gospel
to pay respectful obedience to the civil authority, regu
larly and legitimately construed ;" and hath accordingly
incorporated into its liturgy «a prayer for the President
of the United States and all in civil authority," and «a
prayer for the Congress of the United States, to be need
d nth , g their session;" and bath bound all orders of its
ministry to the faithful and constant observance, in let
ter and in .spirit, of these and all other parts of its
prescribed ritual.
Resolved, That we cannot be wholly blind to the
course which hes been pursued, in their ecclesiastical as
well as in 'their civil relations, since this Convention last
met in perfect harmony and love, by great numbers of
the ministers and members of this Church, within certain
States of our Union, which have arrayed themselves in
open and armed resistance to the regularly-constituted
Government of our country; and that while, in a spirit
of Christian forbearance, we refrain .from employing
towards, them any terms of condemnation or reproach,
and would rather bovr in humiliation before our common
Father in heaven for the sine which have brought His
iudiment on our Land, we yet feel bound to declare our.
solemn'senee of• the deep and grisicus wrong which they
will have Inflicted on the great Christian communion
which this Convention represents. ee well as on the
country within which it has been So happily and barmen'
ously established, should they persevere in striving to
W. ti. BROWNLOW
rend asunder those civil and religious bonds which have
so long held us together in peace, unity, and concord.
Resolved, That while, as,individuals and as citizens,
we acknowledge our whole duty in , sustaining and de
fending our country in - the great struggle in - which it is en
gaged, we are only at liberty,.as Deputies to this Gorman
of a Ohuroh which bath ever renounced all political asso
ciation and:action, to pledge to the National Government
—as we now do—the :earnest and devout prayers of us
all tbat its efforts may be so guided by wisdom and re
plenished--with strength that they may be crowned with
speedy and complete success, to , the glory o!God and res
toration of our beloved thliOn.
. .
Resolved, 7.hat if, in the' adgment of the bishops,
any Other forme of occasional prayer than those already set
forth shall bedeemed desirable and appropriate—Whether
for.our Convention, our Church, or our country, for on..
rulers or our, defenders, or for the sick and wounded, and
d)irg'of our army, and navy, and volunteers—we
shall gladly receive them and fervently use them.
Resolved, That a certified copy of the foregoing re•
port and resolutions be transmitted to the Bones of
Bishops, in evidence of the. Views and feelings of this
body in reference to the afflicting condition of on:
Church and or our country. ' '

Great Unconditional Union Meeting at
Norristown.
An immense meeting of the friends of the Government
was held last evening, at Norristown, Montgomery
county. Hundreds of Democrats• took part in this great
demonstration, and the friends of Judge Krause, although
they have bad very little Imo to work, are growing more
and more confident of their ability to defeat John D.
Stiles.. Masterly speeches were made by the Hon. Isaac
liezlehurst, Morton Mc elichael, and others. The fallow
ing is the speech of Mr. Hezlehurst
• I speak to the unconditional Union men of the count
f Montgomery. I am not, I cannot, be indifferent to the
circumstances under which the present political campaign
has been commenced. .1 had hoped that all party diffe
rences would have given way before that earnest call of
patriotism which demanded that the'power of the Govern
ment should be maintained at all hazards. I had hoped
that upon this great question of national preservation
there would be no confusion of tongues, but one 'grand
Pentecostal Union. ,
lu this, said Mr: H , I have been sadly ilisap•
pointed—the genius and the mortal instruments which
inaugurated this rebellion are now in council ; the party
to the surrender of our forts and the dishonor of our flag
are marshalling their forces, while their very leader is
now threatenteg the integrity of the Republic at the
head of the army of the invaders. It is these facts which
exhibit the true proportions of .the contest, _dwarfing in
dividual preferences before great principles, and leading
ire - alto follow that distinguished man who now sits over
against the Oonetitntion, resolved to regard and main
tain all its previsions.
I do not, therefore, said Mr. H.. come to speak to you
on behalf of the estimable gentlemen who bare been
presented to you by the National Union Oonvention for
onr seffrages. They are among you and of yon..
Their succees or defeat would be a matter of entire
indifference did they not represent the' great prin
ciple of national preservation which is now being 'con
tended for by our Goveiement. It is important,
because their defeat would be • hailed with equal
delight at Itiobmond and Londe n, .it would multiply the
number, of traitors , on our streets, and sadden the hearts
of thole' brave men "who are now periling their lives
for the Union and that/anent-eaten. Let the cause of the
Republic be our-cause-have confidence, perfect confi
dence to that-nand airmen of all parties arenow struggling
in generous toil and suffering and much sorrow on battle
fields for its protection, let_us loyal Mantes at home, in
theth amemblies, thus encourage them. And What have
they gone forth for? Why has the mechanic left his shop
end his borne the farmer turned his back upon the soil
ho loves and t ills? and why have ail cast behind them
the blessed comforts of peaceful life to mingle with the
Mifflin; sound of the bugle in the grappling vigor and
rough front of war? Why le this? The answer of eve
ry man before me le the 'same—the preservation of the
most favored Government that the sun ever shone upon.
Aid is there not a cause for this arming, this marching
on? What does it mean when the rebels threaten to
Melee their steeds in the shadow of the Capitol, or throW
out their half-famished hordes to plunder the. beautiful
valleys of our own beloved. State? It means rebellion
and war; true prologues of the 'swelling power
they desire to inaugurate. Probably more than this;
.certainly nothing lees. Look, said
• Mr. H., at the map of
the Republic. Eire that largo territory, embracing nearly
three degrees of latitude, divided into twelve States sub
ordinate and inferior to the Federal Government. It is
an extensive territory; two States purchased with the
common fundeof all. All the States owed an extended
allegiance to the Union, in whole counsels they Shared,
and whose offices they filled With no pretence that they
had lost any right, or tbat,any had been put imjeopardy,
or't hat even any privilege bad been withheld; they destroy
the Constitution of the United States in all that territory,
from the month of the Rio Grande on thettontn to the
heed waters of the Ohio on the nortbiest: ' That vast '
area_has ceased to bee.reptesented in; the National _Con
gregate. The .old State Government!, wbich were bound
by the 'nurst soldmn sanction to enpport the Constitution
of, the United 'States, have passed .away—within their
horde: s no National officers exist, no 'National lacy',
are in "force, and in .the place of Government there
now, stands forth - rebellion,, darkened, into trium
phant and advancing treason. Nor be this all.. For
the protection of these States the Federal. Government
bad erected, at great expense, commodious aodexteneive
fortifications and navy yards. ' They were the common
property of the Union, and Abe land' upon' which they
were erected had been, in due form, ceded to the Govern
ment. In the commencement of tho rebellion, the psopie
of South Carolina fired upon a feeble Union garrison, and
reduced it. They reported that the first gun that was
brbught to bear against Fort fittuipter was sighted by a
slave. , This may or may not have been, true. Irwas
ominous, to say the leald of it. From that day to this
hoar, the war has spread in huge proportions. The
rebels have raised vast armies. Its officers, educated in
the school of the Repnblic, have employed their telenti
against that Republic: 'Slaves have Amen armed and
used against oar_ forces, on almost every occasion, either
of siege or attack. On ,the ocean, they have raised a
pirate banner, and have gone forth to seize, born,
end--'sink the . unprotected merchant vessels of the
Unit n• And what has beau tine - ciseise of this?
Nothing more or less than the fact that the American
people, in the exorcise of a constitutional right, saw fit
to designate en American - freeman to role over their
country for a prescribed period. It was not. pretended
that he had done anything in oppoaltion to the Conetitn.
floe, for he bad not been in position to act ; nor could
it ;be pretended that his party had by any act or
declaration assumed to trespass upon the rights of any
State. --- Aa to the President elect, lie had no power, and
as to the, Berrubnea.-marty they bad, aolemn
vote in Congress, declared therranesepolltion to interfere
with the rights of any 'State tinder the GOnitltatlon. The
commissioners of the rebel Congress, in heir appeal to
foreign Powers, distinctly stated this action of the Ame
rican Congress, and officially declared that England
would be disappointed if the expected to see slavery. abo
lished by any act of tho AdministratiOn at Washington.
They went further, and unofficially declared that that
event was dependent upon the action of the South itself;
to be secured only as a coneideratim for active armed in
tervention by the foreign Powers in their behalf.
. Whet, then, was the object of this rebellion? We
have seen that no rights bad been impaired in any
single State, or section of the Union. • No appeal to
Congress for a redress of grievances. : No dependence
upon the organic law, 'which it was admitted had not
been broken, and which contained within itself ample
means of protection. Bat the object, long ernes ma
tured, was to break no the republican form of Govern
ment, and substitute one of titles and artificial dis
tie ctione—one, under whose iron heel the poor should
be forever crushed; and the field of opportunity thrown
open to none but a • favored caste. To accomplish this
they are bold and defiant. • -
At their conclave in Blohmond, on the 12th of Septem
ber, 1862, they resolved "to advance their standards into
the territory of tee enemy." This-was their object, an
nounced long before at, Sumpter. Being forewarned, we
will resist them to the last And why not? Is there not
value in this struggle—this death-grapple for country ;
for.all that etirrounds us, and for all that we have loved "I
Does not our country deserve every effort at our hands
for fte'preservation ? Are we to float off, and become a
group of insulated anefeeble communities, soon to be
forgotten in the - great temily of nations, or ere we to be
now and forever, nationally, a great and united lam P'
and, continued Mr. H., you may rest assured that the Exe
cutive of 'this great Republic will persevere to accomplish
this purrease. - This Government is not corrupt. A Re
, publican foam of 'Government rests upon the principle of
public virtue. An. honest head now rule., this nation.
Accumulated duties and responeibilities are thrown.nrton
him,' demanding generous support 'and confidence,
instead of trifling and canting . partisan criticism.
Nis country, his .whole country, is this day- ale,
dear •to him as are the ruddy drone that. circle•
around his heart. From the day on which he raised
the fog on Independence Hall to this hour, no act 'Ol
his bee been in opposition to his oath. He has faith
fully executed his office, and be will, to the oeat of hie
ability, preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution
of the United States. He will redeem his promise.
Every stenof'groUnd invaded will be reclaimed, though
it be steeped in blood; every.captured and lost fort will
be tepOSSeS3ed ; and that nag, that beautiful emblem of
oar native lend, will be displayed from the 'gates of 'the
morning to those distant waters where the sun turns in
its weary journey to cool its golden axle in the peaceful
sea.
And this, said 'Yr. H., is to be secured at all hazards.
The power that started this rebellion and the spring that
moves it is to be broken yea, broken in the very faces
of the trait°, s. The Union is to. be saved by the resto
ration of national authority. There is a must and a shall
in this matter of national preservation which is omni
potent: We are not, we cannot bo driven from the family
a nations. There is a sublimity in the concentrated
idea of affection for the Union, before which everye
thing human palls- No threatened intervention can
hight us from our sovereignty. We are, and intend to
be. From England we have concealed intervention,
or sarcastic indifference. While the refuses shelter to a
crippled national vessel because the credential of Free
dem fleeted from her masthead, the opens her harbor
to the piratical craft of the rebellious States. She sp•
elands the wi:d teachings of the Duchess of fatherland,
bat has no sympathy for those groat principles of regu
lated freedom which brighten the lowliest hearthstone
if, the burnt:dot dwelling in our land. She has not forgot
ten, nor will her proud aristocracy ever forget, that it was
America that set the jewel of Constitutional Reform in
the very ceutre of the English Crown. From her, instead
of genet one sympathy and honorable encouragement, we
must expect coldness, selfishness, and hatred. Be it so.
The Republic still lives. Meantime, let us not forget the
voice of tree friendship that comes to us from the banks
of the Neva, nor fall is learn from the teachings of the
Czar that it is only in the triumph of constitutional an.
thmity that we can seek to restore the Union as it was.
Above all, let 'DS remember the warning voice of that
American statesman. who, with an eloquence all his own,
called our people to the only haven of safety—the Union,
the Constitution, and the enforcement of the laws. The
shaft that rises over the grave at the Hermitage bears its
silent oratory in the same direction; while the to Defender

But a Union meeting, continued Mr. H., does not pee=
form half its purpose at this time without expressing 'its
most decided approbation at the high minded and patri

How can I speak of her people, who, as one man have
risen, and repelled the invaderefrom her moil of freedom ?
The warriors of Clan Alpine answered not the call of

Pennsylvania laid the foundation of her Government at
the altar lighted by the incense whieliarose from the

Union men who signed the Declaration of Independence,
were members of the Continental Congress, and ratified
that Constitution which perfected our nationality. She

Stirrring Wordsfrom Daniel S. Dickinson.
We find the following stirring passages in the speech of
Bon 1 ante' 8. Dickinson, delivered at the mass• meeting
In New York, on Wednesday evening• Mr. Dickinson
said :
" The Democratic party, forsooth ! A knot of men
With some stray accidental honest elements; with here
and there an honest Democrat who supposes this lea war
with Abolition almanacs; with leaders composed of Free
sellers and Abolitionists of 1848; chronic fossilized
Wbige of 1844 looking for a recbarter of a United States
Bank ; crippled Democrats who have been carried for •
life in the ambulances of the party ; straggling Know•
Nothings not Inaptly named; Herds so card that they
cracked in seasoning; Bofte and ehystere of all shades
and periods, and the Ninth Resolution men of 1861, who
proposed to poultice the Democratio party which is to
save the country ! [Roan of laughter.] "What can you
expect of a people," Amid a philosopher, "when a
monkey is their God!" Shade of Jefferson where bast
thou flown! Spirit of Jackson! I • almost bear you
exclaim, "By the Eternal!" [Applause.) Mr. Sey
mour, speaking • apparently ex cathedra,' informs
the people what this faction, the self. styled Democratic
party proposes to do. The burden of the song is that
they propose to restore the Constitution and obey all
constitutional authority, and defend the liberty of speech,
and be launches into a homily about obitervanoes of
law, and invokes the names of early and eminent jurists,
as though , it had some passible relation to the ques•
lion, whew it has no more application than the farewell
address of John Rogers to his children. [Laughter.]
This rebellion cannot well be sued by summons and
complaint, nor brought to trial before a justice of the
peace or referees lender the code, nor silenced by a
Grand Jury, nor be conquered at the county court, nor
held to ball by a judge, nor tried at the circuit, nor have
SD effectual sentence of judgment affirmed by the Su
preme Court or Court of appeals. [Laughter and applause.]
As to Mr. Seymont's quotation of Lord Mansfield's
words in relation to the Gordon riots, Mr. Dickineon
said: It is easy to indulge in rhapsodies over or to
sentimentalize on the beauties of the common law and '
such efforts appear well enough in juvenile law, schools,
or switiebeginners at tee bar; but when invoked as a
means of conquering ouch a rebellion, they are as
ridiculous as would be a homily on moonshine to arrest
an' earthquake, [laughter,] an apostrophe to the dews of
evening amid a hurricane, [laughter,) or a prescription
of Mrs Winslow's soothing syrup for the Asiatic
cholera_ [ Renewed merriment.]
Constitution law, freedom of 'speech, liberty of the
press—usurpation, tyranny, &c., are words easily prated,
and even parrots can be taught them But men should
know that the instincts of a Government, as of an Jodi- •
eldest, when gentled, are self-defence. [Applause.]
The father and' protector of a dependent family who
should fail to employ all hie energies when assailed by a
murderer or bandit, and instead thereof proceed to re- ,
cite from a law book, would, if slain, rank with suicides
in the eight of God and man ; and a Chief Magistrate ,
who should fell to protect his Goverementagainse foreign
domestic foes, armed or unarmed—whether avowed or
Wert —vbether wielding openly the implementer of death
or Meld lonely acting as the advocate_and Etiologist of re
bellion—would himself be guilty of treason, and would
deeerve impeachment, conviction, and execution. [Great
applause.] •
Those who volunteer as exponents or oracles, of consti
•tutions and laws should at least understand the subjects
they are diacussing—should know that in times of peril
to the nation martial l aw inheres in the very essence and
exietenbee of every Government ari a great necessity, and
may be, and should be, asserted when requisite for the
preservation of its life and being. A war of rebellion is
a fearful and alarming reality, and is neither to be run
away from nor quieted by reciting boarding. school hood.
lies. It demands and should receive every element of
power which slumbere in the bosom of the nation. When
Lord-Wellington, upon an exigency, proclaimed martial
law, on being asked what it was, replied that it was the
discretion of the Commanding General. [Applause.]
The course of the President in arresting spies and
the apologists of rebellion; in suppressing treasonable
presses; in suspending the habeas corpus, and in laying
his hand upon the alders and comforter's and abettors of
treason and conspiracy, entitles him to tee admiration
and thanks of every good citizen. [Applause.] Let
assassins whet their knives; let spies and traitors, and
pimps and informers, scowl and gibber, and whisper dis
content because the "freedom of speech" is abridged;
let conspiracy and treason plot at their infernal con
ferences: let politicians scheme and elongate and don
tract their gum-elastic platforms to snit emergencies;
let trimming, balancing Joseph-Surface candidates in
dulge in ground and lofty tumbling to divert popular
attention from the true issue; let pestilent newspapers,
engaged in stimulating rebellion, and sowing broadcast
seeds of disunion and revolt among the people, in the
name of the "liberty of the .press," spread abroad their
ill.concealed batted of the Government of their father's
because It fails to minister to their depraved wishes; and
weer' all this has been done, the action of the President
in these measures, though probably not free from mis
takes and errors, will be approved by honest men and in
the sight of Heaven, and wilt, when rebellion shall only
be'remembered for the blood it has shed, and the wrongs
it hale perpetrated, •' stand - the test of talents and of
time." Loyal men find the rale no inconvenience. The
President baeu't interfered with my freedom of speech.
[Laughter and great applause.]
The masses of the Democratio party are not now po- .
litically organized.but its members are always loyal, and
when organized, the party is - as true a's was its great
leader, Jackson. - Its members swell the ranks of our
brave armies in guarding the nation's capital, in pro
tecting that dear symbol of liberty and hope, the Stara
and Stripes, from desecration, and in defending the Con
etitotion'and the Union. [Applause ] They are acting
with the Union oreanizetton at home, and are endeavor
ing to to bible to rebellion and to the world the sublime
moral ripectacle of a whole people laying aside political
partisan opines, s and discussions, and acting together to
minerre their Revoluiionary inheritance from oesetruc
time.' [Applause.] The members of the narrow, trading,
tricky faction, who , now :strut—the self-constituted
beret s of the Democratic party, a na ne they have
learned to mouth better than they have to practise its
mincipler—were nine oat of ton against it in the days of
its organized 'action, or if with it; were its mendi
cants, office seekers, and camp followers. [applause.] ,
A life-long Democrat, I do not hesitate to declare re.
eponsibly that the organized action of this knot of politi
cians, as a spurious Democratic party in this State, has
donee and Is now doing, more to encourage the endurance
ILO& perseverance of this rebellion than all the Bynum- I
thief of England and France combined—and that such 1/1
the public judgment—more than all the vessels which
have -run the blockade together. The honth knew the
old Democratic party of this State as a party of power
andinfluence. They hope and believe this faction is its
emecemor, and possesses some of its elements and influ
ences, and await its triumph. Could the murderous
tatterdemalions of rebelllon, who are described as reek
ieg with a rank compound of villainous smells, shaggy
with shreds of what. was clothing, and creeping with
+their*, attend our polls, they would give this-ticket a
unanimous vote. Could it succeed, Jefferson Davis would
proclaim snorter day of thanksgiving, though it might
have to be kept in fasting, and illuminate Richmond; and
well be might, for its success would bo more hurtful to
the cause of the Union than the loss of the army of the
Potomac, and, the capture and the sacking or Washing
ton. [Applause ]
Let those who take the sword perish with the sword, is
my doctrine, and let those who raise a rebellious army
against the Constitution take just such aid and comfort
as martial law and the war power in their utmost rigor
Mete out to them, whether it be hemp, or steel, or lead,
or a confiscation of property. [applause.] It slaves
are property they are subject to tbo same reties as other
property, and should be. treated , accordingly. There is
no charm upon the subject, and should be no mystifies
lion over it. . -
If the Proclamationteakens rebellion, and strength
ens Government—as I hope and believe it am for
it and all its (=sequencer, and any and every other
measure which will conduce to that end. [Applause.].
• The' institution has been over-worked, and can no
longer form political capital on either side, of which
. politicians of beth shades will please take n otice. It is
. to pass away during the present struggle, especially if
long continued, and as an element of mischief and dis e
ten banes, and as a just retribution to those who have
taken up arms against the Government in its name for
vile political ends, it has my permission to start at the,
• earliest moment possible, and to make the exodus a coin-
Vete one.. Cue such Government le worth all the slavery
that has enieted since Joseph was sold into Egypt.
Gre at applause.] It rebellion wishes to avoid these re.
• sults, and to invoke the Constitution, let it acknowledge
. its supremaCy, embrace the olive branch extended by the
Preeident, and lay down its arms, and dons its work of
• treason and murder. The cry that released contrabands
are coming North Is for political effect, and to secure
Votes from alarmed laborers. [" Yes."] When slavery
is no longer recognized in the Southern States,. the.
colored race will not struggle for the cold North to com.
pate with our laborers, but those now with us will seek:
a more congenial clime in the Emmy Sontb, where the
etiolate is more agreeable, and the labor and productions
better suited to their wants, and -tastes, and habits. ,
• re• Yes, yes "1
Let, then, 1 say, the people of the loyal States be'
United—let them act together as one man. Lot no poll- •
tioal organization as such, be supported, or encouraged,
or tolerated; but let 'all lovers of their country and its
institution(' meet for public action and effort in a corn.-

A : Judicial View of Treason—A. Timely
Warning to Traitors..
Bon. J. P. Sterrett, president judge of the Quarter
Seselons of Pittsburg, in this State, in hie charge to the
Grand Jury on Monday, need the following langiage,
which is at the present time very seasonable
The moment the firtt insult was offered. to oar flag ,
the patriotism of the loyal menses of the North and the
West was greeted, and men of all parties and. all creeds
rallied around it with a degree of unanimity and ardent
enthusiasm never before witnessed. The Governments of
the Old World were astonished. If anything had been
wanting to prove the, capacity of our people for self
government, and their devotion to the principles of our
free and enlightened institutions, the history of this re.
hellion has !unlisted it. It is not the fault of the loyal
masses that this rebellion has not been crushed ore this.
Everything that they could command has been cheer
fully laid upon the altar of their country.
BUt while this has all been so, in regard to the great
masses of our people, there have been here and there a
lew, end in some places, perhaps,. a goodly number,.
whose sympathies were not and are not with us i men
who mere traitors at heart, slid only awaited a fitting
opportunity to give aid and comfort to the enemy. This
boo been one of the greatest difficulties with which. the
General Government has had to contend;.and from time
to time stringent regulations have been adopted. Seve
ral of the loyal States have found it necessary to legislate
on the subject. Lest year our own Legislature passed a
lay, which you will find In the pamphlet laws of 1651,
page 408
The offences at which the act is aimed are clearly and
particularly described. Anything that is said or done
with intent to oppose, prevent, or subvert the Govern
ment, or to give aid and comfort to the enemy, is grind
pal—such as endeavoring to persuade any one from en•
tering tbe military service, or attomptiug to indnee any
one to abandon the service, &c. ~ Idle talk arid clamor
against the Goverment, or newspaper and other railing,
%%bleb, in time of 'peace, would be overlooked and disre
garded, should, in the present crisis of our .natioaal a'-
fairs, be treated as a grave offence, tending to weaken the
arm of the Government, and giving aid and comfort to
the enemy." But it is not by direct acts alone that men
may be discouraged from entering the service of the
centilry, and the law of the land eubvorted. _lt , may
often be effected by iodirect means, such as ridiculing
the same'end attempting to bring it into contempt.
Those who rosy be disposed to speak and act contrary
to the pro Visions of the law, may imagine that it would
be difficult to show, in a criminal prosecution; that there
was any , intention or design , to oppose or subvert the
Government. The intention, as in all 'other crimes, is,
of course, the gist of the (fleece, but It should be borne
in mind that men's intottions are generally to be inferred
from their words and actions If a man strikes another
with a deadly weapon, we iEftir that the intention was to
kill. So if a man Tailor writes against the Government :

is that his intention le to weaken the arm of the..oo . verm

BEHKS COUNTY.
A Brave Union Soldier Stabbed in the Back—
Beware of Treason !
[From the Beading Journal, extra, of the 7th of Oot.)-
We have to announce to our readers the most stupen
dous piece of rascality ever attempted in this county,
and that, too. porpetreed for -the purpose of destroying
Mai. Joe' B. Wanner, the Union'candidate for Oongrees,
the man who is now absent, fighting the battles of his
country, whilst Secessionists, traitors, and cowards are
endeavoring to defeat bun, and elect Ancona.
The Adder of this morning, Tuesday, Oct)ber
contains what purports to be a letter from Major Joel
B. Wanner, dated 44 1ileadquarters, 128th Regiment,
P. V., October 3d, 1862,'' addressed to H. H. Muhlen
berg, John McManus, and others, signed "Joel B.
Wanner," and asking the withdrawal of his name as a
candidate for Congress.
That letter never was seen by Joel B. Wanner, never
was signed by him, and never was received or seek by
H. B. Muhlenberg, John McManus, or the other gentle..
men who were instrumental in presenting the name of
Mai. Want er as a candidate for Congroes.
More than this—the editors of the Adler were ex
meanly notified io wiiting, by Amoei B. Wanner, Bea.,
yesterday, (Monday, October 6th,) at 10 o'clock A. M.,
tot io publish any such document The editors. after
consulting with Ancona, who was In the office, still per
sisted in keeping the article in type, where it appears this
morning.
Friends of the Union in Berke, expose this fraud far
and wide. The traitors in Berks, afraid of Major Wan
ner, with to make the voters believe that he has with •
drawn. It is a falsehood—only got up a little too soon.
Wanner is before you, the Union candidate for Oongress,
and will stand or fall by the voice of the people. Ms
tickets are printed, and will be found at the polls Be
sure that you are there too, and show the tools of Jeff
Davis in Perks county that fraud and rascality cannot
succeed when aimed at a gallant soldier who is'fighting
' for hie country. •

CASSIUS M. CLAY ON THE PROCLAMATION.—
Major General Cassius td: - Olay, in his speech at the Now
Yotk Academy of Music, on Tuesday. said : It was idle
to think that our armies would abolish slavery without a.
proclamation. That had been all nothing so long as the
President and people did not dare to say that all men
should be free. Look at the South.and see how the men
who were so mild until lately over the theory that the
trilled States flag carried freedom, fairly foamed at the
month over the proclamation. Ah, but it was said that
the proclamation was unconstitutional ! Way, it was
strange that these sympathizers with traitors had sud
denly become so tender. tooted on the point of the Con
stitution. Jeff Levis and his minions had violated the
Constitution in every possible way, but where was the
protest of, the Seymours against that 3 How wilt this
proclamation affect us with foreign nations 1 I must
confess that I nave very little faith in England. I have
been an admirer of England, her poets teed her elates
men lint alter her declarations against slavery, I could
not suppose that when we declared against' slavery,. and
made preparations to abolish It, she would not cordially
sympathize with us.
When Lotd 'Palmerston suppressed the assurance he
had received Venn Mr. Seward that the Amerian.Govera
ment would do whatever was just in regard to the Trent.
affair, he showed - the true feeling of the English Govern..
meat. Such men would not be more our friends tor . the
proclamation. Bat there was a class of mea in Great
Britain who did sympathize with republicanism in the
United States. They said, though we suffer, let the
American Union be preserved, because their 'battle is
our battle. In France, the people were thoroughly with
us, with a nonarch who thoroughly understood them.
Alexender of Russia bad always been true to us. Again
and again he bad said to him, with.that franknees which
characterized him, speaking as man to man: “Be sure
that you will always find me true to the United Sates of
