HEBBL VIEW OF THE SITUATION AT OHATTAITOOGA.
[From the Richmond Enquirer, 3d.)
The aspect of Affairs is -moat encouraging to the
success of our army. The enemy, defeated and dis
couraged, is cowering within the fortificitionit of
Chattanooga. The Government at Washington is
strivingby every means to reinforce Roaeorarts and
bolster up the •fallen chief... Newspapers, by false -
statements, are endeavoring to 'mitigate the foree"of"
the disaster that has overtaken, their greatly-lauded-hero of Rich Mountain: • Braggts army, buoyant
.with success, beleaguers the beaten foe ; his cavalry
are in "the right place," but where, we are not in
formed. The 'quiet in the field around Chat:
tanooga will, we hope, he turned to good account,
and we will not be permitted to lose all by waiting
too long. Many a battle has been lost by the delay
of a few hours—v e trust so brilliant a beginning may
not be followed by disaster.
Chattanooga may be the Yorktown of this revo
lution. The army of Boaecrans will, if possible, be
reinforced from Grant, Burnside, and, perhaps, from
Meade; Bragg has already a very large army, but
Johnston can reinforce him still further. Thus the
armies of both nations may be concentrated at Chat
tanooga. Should - such be the fact; the result will
end in peace, by a victory by Bragg, or in prolonging
the war to an indefinite period by his defeat;• We
look upon the situation at Chattanooga as of the
most momentous importance.
If Meade sends forces to Roomette, General Lee
will capture Washington. If Grant reinforces Role.
crane, Kirby Smith regains Louisiana and threateris
New Orleans. The situation of the enemy is one ol
delightful difficulty. We begin nem - to appreciate
the strategy that evacuated East Tennessee; and has
drawn the enemy into what we may hope may prove
to him a cul de sac, from which he cannot escape
without deatruction:.-However we may regret not
having accounts from General Bragg's army, yet we
cannot complain, if the interests ,of the country,
that General's opinion., are in the least served by:
this enforced silence of the telegraph. We must
wait in patience the issue, relying on that Power
which guides the destinies of nations for His own
WHITZ GOODS.
The following extract from a letter from the wife
of a staff officer to General Itosecrans' army tends
to refute certain derogatory statements which have
gained currency in some quarters: "The General
(Roseorans) was in coniroand of the army during
the whole engagement, and in so , mush danger,
When theoentre of our army gave way, that he was.
lost to the larger portion of bis staff from two o'clock
Sunday. until Monday morning, and it was feared
by, many of his staff officers that the was captured.
I write this because of the report at Louisville, and
circulated through many of the Western journals,
that he was not in the engagement.ls
The correspondent of the Tribune writes The an .
nual meeting of the U. S. Sanitary Commission
has commenced in Washington. The Rev. Dr. Bel
lows, President; Professor Bache, Vice President;
Edr. Jenkins, General Secretary; Dr. Newbern,
Secretary, Western Branch ; Dr. Douglass, Chief
Inapector ; Dr. Shrivers, Chief Inspector, Army of
Potomac; F. M. Knapp, Special Relief Ageat ; Dr.
Agnew and George T. Strong, of New York, Horace.
Pinney, Jr.. and Charles stifle, of Philadelphia,
and others, were present. Various reports as to the

DESTRZOTION oFFCSBEL SALT *ORRG:rti GEORGIA;
Lieutenant Commander Gibson, 'of the. United
States gunboat Seneca, reports to -the •Navy De

- September 24th, that on the night of the 22d ult., he
sent an armed boat 9 s crew up the Altamaha' river,
and destroyed -the Hudeson Place salt :works, near
Darien, Ga , entirely demolishing -boilers, engines,
vitsi .5,04 and bringing off - James H. Lockwood, the
superintendent,lhis two children, and free a negro.
The other employees and two visitors fled at the ap
proach of the force. The works were situated With
in two miles of the encampment of a rebel company,
w hose pickets came very near the works ;.but they
did not discover or resist the..attacit. On the night
of the-10th ultimo, a boat's crew wgs sent some
thirty miles up the Altamaha river in search of a
cotton-loaded steamer, which was understood to be
one'of two steamers still in those waters, with which
some months ago the rebels contemplated attacking
the gunboats in the Sound, in the same manner the
Harriet Lane was attacked.

Commander Gibson says :.
The statements of the
refugees on board the Seneca are interesting, and,
think, credible in the main. The rebel Government
take's a tithe Of all agricultural product of live stock
on hand and of manufactures,. in - addition to the
heavy, taxes otherwise on real and personal estates.
As regards the latter, one hundred dollars in gold is
taxed at the rate of -one thousand dollars in Con
federate money ; one hundred dollars in silver as
seven hundred and fifty 'dollars. They speak of
smouldering disaffection to the insurgent powers,
weariness of the war,,and longings for the old
Union" as being very general throughout the State
of Georgia Wherever opinion is whispered or dares

THE BUTES IN REBELLION,
Invincible Yankee'.
From the Richmond Eultkirer, A. 3
Europe must be mortally frightened et the thought
of incurring the wrath of. that' most obstreperous
Yankee nation. According to the New York Tribune,
England has been actuated' by mere terror of a war
'with so potent a people in detaining the Confederate
iron-dads, and having settled that point to its satis
faction, the same Tribune thus rotoeeede to shake its
fiat at the French
. . .
" We do not know yet whether the _statement of
the Phare de la Mire will turn out to prove true, ac-/
cording to which two war steamers are now build=
bag for the rebels at Nantes, and two similar - clippers l
at Bordeaux. If the opinion that these ships are in/
tended for the Confederatei should be correct, th
French Government will soon find itself in the sae;
predicament from which -the English GOvernment
after so long a hesitation, has just extricated itself :
f 1
and will be compelled to show its band."
Lincoln will stand no nonsense at the hands of th
French or any other Emperor. If the Emperor fail(
to be frightened at the first hint of Yankee resent/
ment s the Tribune gives additional warning.to tak(
care what be is about, by pointing to the achievei
ments of the dreadful. Gilmore at Charleston ; ini
forms* him that the London Times does not "wit

hold its astonishment" at the feats of arms inthos
parts,, and bide him be wise in time , .. , '
"In the meanwhile, it is gratifying to know the
ti l
the 'operations of Gen. Gilmore before Chariest°
have made a sensation throaghout Europe. Thl
London Times, which on such questions is, an au
thority in all European countries, does not with
bold its,astoniehment at the progress made by th,
Yankees in the war. We believe that such want
lags will caution even' the worst enemy of
_thi

and against rushing headlong into , a war whiz'.

ANOTHER WARNING TO IiAIIDILCIAN.
CFrom the Botechafter of. Vienna. Sept. 22.
An the question of the Mexican throne, so far as
it concerns a prince of our imperial house, appearit
likely to be resolved :within the next few days, we
consider that the fitting time has come to deliver our'
opinion on thieeVent. We have before now pointed
out, in quite a'general way, that theblexican throne
is not exactly a desirable' postession ; but our °beer-
Settolll.lVere limited to those relnarks which were
foluided on our- appreciation of American attains.
What we at that • time prophesied, a tiwn favorable
to the Northern States—:an eirent not generally ex-
Pected in Eurepo-lhas occurred, and the conclusions
Which result therefrom regarding the Bra scan am
vire become more intelligible. Theyay be resumed
in the fact that the foundation ni of, a throne on'the
North American Continent can onl y result im beaten
ing the period when Ainerisen Democracy will in
-terfere in the ,relations between the States of ELI. ;
',tope: We believe that the future will prove the`
,correctness of this opinion. Di the meantime ,. we
have only to do with the - pretent, and we shairtnede
sago confine ourselves merely to Shp .interests en
gaged on this side.
• , .:When a member of a reigning has the cip•
portunity and the desire. to ascend , lm threee oha

Dons thus arising from the State and internationaD
'interests of , the country to which the candidate for
-this throne belongs. We say it is difficult, but, it , fri
'
not impossible ; and, en far as we are able up to ihe
P r esent time, to judge the Mexican affair , it appears
to_be considered in thii light in the highest quarters.
From the geographical, political, and financial pota
tion of Austria, we have considered it as self-evident
that the 'Mexican candidature of the Archduke Maxi;
an entirelypersonal matter. We are not

Governments, and entertains no intention of receiv
ing you as the accredited minister of this . Govern
ment near the British`Gourt.
"Under these circumstances your continued resi

eider your mission at an end, and that you withdraw

made known to your lordship on my ar
rival here the character and purposes of the mission
entrusted to me by my Government; I have deo:fined
it due to courtesy thus to make known to the Go
vernment of her Majesty its termination, and that I
shall, as directed, at once withdraw from England.
"I have the honor to be your lordship's very obe
dient rervant. T. M. ItLASO7../."
On this The Index rilikkel3 the, following comments
"(supposed to be " setting forth eeveral
regions for the withdrawal which -are no embodied
in Mr:Mason e letter :
"Mr. Slidell, we understand, - will remain in
France as special commissioner to that Govern
ment,nor is it at all contemplated to 'terminate that
mission; and yet France, equally with England,
has so far refrained from entering into inter
national relations with the Confederate States.
11 There must be, then, some overruling cause for
the difference thus made between France and Eng.
land in the termination of , this mission, and hot the
other. To those at all conversant with what is
parsing in the. Southern States, this is no mystery.
Mr. Slidell has been received and uniformly treated
by the Government of France with every mark of
consideration and respect for the Government he
reprerents. There may be'grave reasons regarding
policy, or public, law, why France, like England,
may not deem it incumbent as yet to recognize those
States as an independent political Poll/8r ; but their
representative has been freely. admitted , • to every
form of intercourse with the Government of France,
to, personal interviews with- the Emperor whenever
he has asked for them, with inimeniate Mamas to all
any ;of the at hut request. This would,
indeed, seem . but an ordinary courtesy to .a gentle
man in his position ; the refusarof it would be more
than, a discourtesy—it would be an actual indignity
to these whore representative he Is.
"In England Mr. Mason has been held by the Go.
vernment in the very opposite position. His coo.
respondence with the Foreign Office, laid before Con
gress at Riehmond,, we know,from ,the Southern
press, pooduced a feeling of, deep and universal in.
dignation. It showed the% with the exception of a
single and formal interview with Earl Ruasell on
his arrival, appointed at his residence, and not at the
Foreign Office, he bad been admitted to no intercourse
whatever: , .
The London Globe ridicules this kind of argument,
and. says there is no courtesy or discourtesy in the
matter, it is all policy. For reasons which he alone
knows, the Emperor of the French confers with Mr.
Slidell; for reasons which we all know, Earl Russell
has not conferred with Mr. Mason.
RECOGNITION OF TEE ALABARAL AS A SHIT .0P
From the Opinion Nationale of the 25th ult. we
translate the following highly-important Official de
cision :
In" the' of France, the Northern States_ and
the ..Southern States of the American Union are
belligerents; that is to' say, two nations in a state of
war.
The Union, not having accepted the declaration of
the CrAlgress of Paris abolishing privateering, has a
"right to.issueletters of marque.
The .vessel Alabama; carrying the flag of the'
Southern States, cannot be regarded as a pirate, but
merely as &privateer, since she respects neutrals, and
makes use of force against none but the enemies of
the Confederates.
Hence, the burning at sea of a ship and;of the mer
chandise it contains. constitutes an act of warfare
for which the insurers are not responsible without a
special agreement. -

of thanks ; and in place of cheering them on in their
new . enterprises i casts a' cloud'between them and
their fame theirproudmemories, their exalted pur
poses and hopes, makingthem feel they have poured
out their blood in • the defeat of armed traitors in
their front but to encounter the faithlessness and
base ingratitude, or at best the equivocal recogni
tion and .impoVerished praise of a mutinous party
in the rear.
Such, if I mistake not, are the main issues of the
contest inwhich you, the citizens .of Ohio, are en
gaged. There are, however, other important cons&
quences involved. . 1
The election of Mr. Brough will deepen the de
pression and confirmthe discomfiture of the South,
going far to convert into wofulness and blank despair
the ecstasies Inspired by the peace meetings and ,
riots of New York, lowa, and other places where
Copperheads abound, and the Venom; as well as the:
slime, the fangs, as well as the slippery _Akin, of the.
reptiles, warn the community of danger.
On the other hand, the election of . Mr. Palen
digham,will arouse the drooping spirits of the guilty
States that have been BO effectually crippled of late.
It will revive in those ;States great expectations of
a diversion in their favor and stimulate them to re
newed efforts of desperation. 'Summon Mr. Yellen
dighlun.frem nis congenial exile-in the bosom of his
British sympathizers seat him in the ,Carule .chair
of your State, let ninlhave the disbursement of the
patronage with which it is richly padded, and, not a,:
doubt of it, the usurpers at Richmond will have good
reason to infer they have reliable friends at the
North, and that President Lincoln ie beset, under:-
mined, hampered, and overborne by'a swarm of elle- .
The ,South, be assured of it, will interpret his elec
tion in its direct bearing,andfull significance. , They
Will recognize in it the defeat and condermiation of
the National Government, and in this, defeat and
condemnation the power and predominance of the
conspiracy whiCif fosters and facilitates * Secession,
voting down supplies to the army, destroying public
confidence in the Administration, instigating resist
ance to the laws of Congress, compelling the with
drawal of veteran troops from the field to enforce
the obedience which State authorities think it no
- duty of theirs to see to, and, by.every other artifice
compatible with its. alignant safety, doing its hest,
-to sap and paralyze the good, great cause it lecke the
courage to rear its head against and with a brilliant
audamty.assail.
• Nor is this all. The election of Mr. Vallandigs,
ham will be productive in Ohio of the fearful mis
chiefs that must arise in every State where the local
authorities are in conflict with the National Govern
ment. In the best of times—in times when the no-.
ble sentiment 6, one connfry,oneffag, one destiny," was .
the pervading and supreme sentiment of the people,
and the peace, which equal laws and impartial proe
perity secured, seemed to be a' blessing specially re
served for this great Commonwealth—even in such
times, it was held by the wisest and loftiest of our
public teachers, that the more intimate the relations ,
existing between-the State and Federal authorities,
the happier, theetronger the more enterprising and
successful would the nation be, the more respected
and influential would be its character abroad, and the
better assured would be the splendors of its future,the
more illustrious the , exempla with which it would:
enrich and illuminate the history of human liberty.
If in such fortunate times as these referred to here,
the necesaity for this thorough harmony and identi
.fication of she State with' the Federal authorities
was so imperative, hnw much
_more so must it be
when war supersedes peace, and a condition of
affairs presents iteelf, in which the central power , of
the nation must succumb, he ridden over, and train
pled out, unless it be unreservedly, with an. intense
sincerity, energy, and pride, sustained. -Elect Mr
Vallandighain, and you will, have a Stsite, Govern
ment, the current of whose sympathies, to say the
least of it,.will flow towards Richmond and deepen
there, instead of flowing into . Washington, and,
bearing thence on a generous tide the sacred pledge.
of Ohio, that, come what may, she will stand in the
plenitude of her resources and-heroic heart by the.
Government of the United States in its determine
tion to maintain and perpetuate, undivided and uni•

of its vast growth, the inheritance ofilie American
people. Elect Mr. Vallandigham, and you Will have
a government in Columbus, the policy andaction of
which.will essentially, violently, fatally, be in con
flict with the policy and action of, the Government
at Washington; and from which, 'tie certain aworld
of discord and complications will arise to the vexa

It was not an unnoticeable fact that no less than six
Democrats were on their way to Reading for the
purpose of supporting Governor Curtin by their
speeches, and the exertion of all the influence they
possessed. The train progressed on its-way with its
customary velocity, and in due time reached Phce.

with the party, proceeding to Reading. Gliding
swiftly past Conshohocken, and numberieSe other
places on the route, the train in good: time, eleven

and the shimmering water give way to more anima

of an atmosphere of furnaces. The very handsome

The spires and steeples of Reading, the life, activity,
and manufacturing structures of the- city, form a
whole which reminds one that Berks county is wide
awake and up to the mark. But these are not the
only causes which induced us to believe. this. The
crowds which congregated at every station, and
which cheered onward the progress of the eminent
citizens who occupied a portion of the- train, fur

in expectation of the arrival of Gov. Curtin and

Ourtm, -- however, had not arrived, and did - not arrive
in tithe to gratify the impatience of the expectant
people. Owing to a breakdown upon the track from
Harrisburg, Gov. Curtin did- not reach Reading
until after half past twelve &clock. For a long
time previous the streets of Reading had been
thronged by an impatient crowd. Fenn street was
naturally chosen as the scene of preparation for the
ovation .which was to follow. It was thronged

ARRIVAL OF GOVERNOR CURTIN
TJpon the arrival of Governor Curtin at. Reading,
the carriage prepared for_ him was immediately be
sieged by a crowd anxious to shake hands with one
whom they loved and revered. Acclamations rent
the air, and notwithstandbm the rain which began
slightly to fall the enthusiasm was unbounded. Mr.
Levi B. Smith occupied the carriage with Gover
nor Curtin, the carriage immediately behind being
occupied by members of the committee.
ORDER OF THE PROCESSION.
The order of the procession was as follows _ : First
came the Keystone Cavalry company, then the in
fantry, Chasseurs, then the different delegations in
order, preceded by the Ringgold and National Brass
Band of Oley, Birdsboro, 'Mount Airy, Oley, Amity,
Boy erstown, Morgantown, and Johanna Furnace,
Bernville, Unionville, Maiden Creek, and Oats
launee, and the Reading delegates with aecompany
leg .bands. Next. came Ahe carriage occupied by
Governor Curtin, and that occupied by the com
mittee, Major EL S. Kupp, and others.
ROUTB.OF THE PROCESSION.
By this time the rein fell in torrents, and with
such fury that umbrellas were little "or no protec
tion. The crowd, however, did not in the least de
crease,.but conthwed .of the same density on the
sidewalks and in the streets. The route followed
by the .procession was along the principal streets of
the city, and occupied three - quarters of "an. hour.
The exact route observed .was up Fifth to Penn, up
Perin to Sixth, down Sixth to Chestnut, down
,Chestnut to Third, up Third , to Penn, up Penn to
Fifth, down Fifth, to Washington, up Washington
to Eighth, up Eighthlto. the main street, Penn, and

and here the Governor` was beset by a party of
soldiers belonghtg to the 53d and 68th' Pennsylvania
"Regiments, who insisted on shaking hands with
him, and'giving cheer after cheer.
Although all along the route the rain had descended
in furious torrents, yet the crowd increased, rather
than diminished, and from windoWs, balconies, and
doorsteps hate and handkerchiefs waved and cheers
resounded to the heavens. One wagon, overhung
With gazers, was labelled, " Woodward behind the

strained. After a pushing, and squeezing which all

.TXOIDEISTB OP . THE MEETING.
There were many entertaining and agreeable fea
trasee in the meeting yesterday at Reading. The
spirit of the meeting was all that could be desired,
and the intelligent enthusiasm of the mosso*, whisk
upon so inclement a day turned out and -did honor
to their Governor, was something heart thrilling to
witness. It is interesting - likewise to recall a con
versation between Dlr. justice Woodward and an
eminent member of. the clergy, which took place but
a day or two ago. In this connection the reve•
rend gentleman stated that, in mere friendly rela
tions he could have nothing to say against Judge
Woodward, but that the record against him wax
such that, politically, it was impossible for them to
agree. Judge Woodward was curious to find out.
how far the clergy agreed in this decision, and was
somewhat surprised to find that, they were al.
moat universally in Omar of it. The Union meet
ing yesterday, at Reading, in despite of the storming
rain, was exceedingly enthusiastic, and the ap.
plause bestowed was such as could not be mistaken
in its patriotic meaning.
ENTHUSIASM! IN DELAWARE 001INTY-SPEECHES BY
SENATOR WILSON, GENERAL BRITOIL, GOVERNOR
CURTIN, AND OTHERS.
Yesterday the Union people of Delaware county
filled the streets and public halls of Chester as they
have never done before. This county aspires to be
the banner county at the approaching election, and
from the spirit which prevailed yesterday OM
would be apt to admit the possibility of that gratify
ing feet.
There was no mercantile business , transacted du
ring the day, whilst in the evening every one was
aglow with enthusiasm in behalf of the. Union, and
the welfare of Pennsylvania. The day was made
one of holiday, and it was" universally respected
as such. Not the least.l demonstrative, in the pa
triotism of the day, were the ladies of Chester, and
it was no slight compliment to Governor &Ain
that he was received by them with their showers or
bouquets, the waving of liege and.the grace of their
presence at the masa meetings in a manner which
reflected their patriotism, and did honor to their at
tachment to the principles of the Government. Alt
honor to the ladies of Chester ! Their fair hands
have, for days past, been busily employed in -pre
paring the flags and weaving the wreathe which,
yesterday, gave to Cheater so much lustre and life.
The citizens of the county assembled in vast num
bers upon a large field, but the sudden occurrence or
the rain shortly after noon made it necessary to ad.
journ to the public halls of the town. These were
soon tilled with ladies and gentlemen, and in each
distinguished speakers discussed the political lames
of the hour, and urged upon the voters present - the
responsibility which attached to their political no
tion on Tuesday next.
The listeners were attentive and respectful,'and
showed, by the discriminating applause, how they
appreciated their duty to their country Mita present
hour of peril. The mention of the names of Abra
ham Lincoln or Andrew_ G. Curtin was always re
ceived with unbounded enthusiasm, and showed
how deep a hold these two distinguished men have
upon the popular heart. In each of the halls promi
nent persons made speeches. In National Hall
Senator Wilson, of Altissachusetts, met with a
cordial reception, and hie' brief remarks were atten
tively listened to. - •
After thanking his audience for their warm re.
ception, he eulogized the patriotic portion' Of the
Democratic party who - had, in their country's
danger, determined to forget the ties of party and.
stand by the Governme,nt. He mentioned the names
of Butler, Dickinson, Logan, Rosecrans, and other
prominent _Democrats who are now so heartily sus
taining the national cause.
The real heroes of this war have no sympathy
with the Demooratio organization. Gen. Grant,
who fought fifteen battlem and -never 'lcst one of
them, heartily despises the miserable men who claim
to be the champions of that once great and•honored_
party. The speaker regtetted to have it to say that
the Democratic organization, as now constituted, is
the most detested and wicked organization that ex
ists anywhere to-day on the globe.
The Democratic party is living only on pest recol
lections. It lives because of its name, It has near
for its leaders . Tames Buchanan, Franklin Pierce,
and that class of leaders who have been ruled by
Jeff Davis and his disunion compeers. You
that a few years before the war Jeff Davis' was
ieted in Blaine and other New England States. He
went back to his home and told his friends in Mis.
Mediu,' that if subjugation'of the South should be
attempted, there were thousands in the North to in
augurate a counter revolution.
J eft' Davis met these men all over the North, and
hem their expressions, he assured the Smith they
would meet with substantial assistance at the North.
You remember that Franklin Pierce assured Jeff
Davis, by letter,•that in case of a separation of the
States, the Northern conservatives would not pre
vent it, nay if it should come to a battle, that battle
would be fought farther north than Blazon and
Dixon's line. Had the United' States Government
fired the Bret gun, against the rebellion, instead of
permitting the rebellion to tire the first gun at
Sumpter, this revolution of the North would have
been accomplished. -
When our flag was struck at Sumpter, it aroused
the nation ; timid men becseie strong, and the con
servatives could not avoid an expression in favor of
the war. Even Fernando Wood was compelled to
give his voice for war, because it was the spirit of
the people. When, however, defeat and disaster
befell our arms, he was the first to cry out for peace.
Thank God, our soldiers are fully competent to
put down the rebellion, and to them we look with,
confidence and hope. , The speaker never met-s..
soldier of the republic without feeling towards him
the moat_profound respect. [Applause] The sol
diers are loyal and true, and it was a remarkable
fact that they have turned the tide of public senti
ment, in the North. Since they treated the traitorous
Legislatures of Illinois and Indiana with resolution.
after resolution condemnatory of the treason of the
North, no loyal State has gone against the Govern..
ment. [Applause.]
Now our armies are advancing. The cause of the
Union is triumphing. Let every soldier In the held
remember that the heart of the people is with him.
[Applause.] .Remember, there is not a rebel who
would not rejoice at the election of Judge Wood-
ward. Throw your ballots, then, so that our sot.
ns
die may be comforted, andthe rebels tainted. Let,
the people of the North vote as your soldiers fight..
and the Government will be sustained forever.
Senatot Wilson was followed by Gen.' Bruce, of •
New York, whose appearance was greeted with ap-.
plause. His remarks upon the traitorous sympathy
of the Democratic party with the Southern ..rebebe
aroused the wildest excitement. Jeff Davie was - n,
traitor; he had traitor marked upon his forehead.
The speaker could look upon the rebels with-nom.,
partitive complacency, when contrasted with .the•
sneaking reptiles of the Democratic party.
He addreemediiimself not , to, the loyal men of the •
loyalparty. He Aid not come , to call the righteous.

hundreds in the Demecratic party who were equally
as loyal as he, the speaker: The Democratic leaders.

[Laughter.]
This war - wee ~commenced in the interest or
slavery, and is „continued in that interest. The-
South claimed 'to' be tie descendants of the Cava
liers, and scorned ue'of the North as being an in

such an hour as this it hemline us all to give our
support to Mr. Lincoln. He needs it all, for
h is
sponsibility is greater - than Any that ever rested
upon the shoulders of any one , man. -
When the rebellion broke out, Mr. Lincoln issued.
his proclanuitton for seventy-Eve thousand men.
Where did you hear the first note of dissent b The
day after, the - Alhauy Argus warned Democrats '
.beware of,this proclamatiOn, as !twos a usurpation
of power. Shottly'after, you saw the Democratic
party raising an opposition to the war, and forming
a partisan issue. In New York State, the Republi
can Central Committee were willing to unite with]
the Democrata for the sake of Union and harmony-
If the Democratic party were true to the Union
why did they not unite in the proposition'? They
did not do it; and, setting up their distinctive
partisan character were badly beaten.
Since then that patty has endeavored to dietract:
the country by partisan issues. The war having
been commenced for the perpetuity of slavery, it

: tween saving and destroying the country is"so plain
that no honest man can be deceiVed.
Can you End any Secesalonist anywhere who ie
not a Democrat 1 Will not every man who is
against the country vote for Woodward if he can at
the next election? In thia conflict we have every
' thing to contend with—foes without and enemies
within. It becomes every one who loves , his
country to say that he will stand by his Govan
meet right, or wrong. [Applanie.] Stand by. An
drew G. Curtin, Pennsylvanians, if you are in favor,
of putting down the rebellion. If not, vote for
judge Woodviard. Woodward is not in Etionof the
war, or in favor of putting down the rebellion; ac he
says in his printed speeches., Why Became the.
rebel States are Democratic States„, That's what's
the matter. [Laughter.] . •
But we have Crossed the paitietapidaicare. The
loyal States from Rhode Island toCalifOrnia,. have
vindicated their patriotism aud Pennsyl•
van% . and _ Ohio will follow. The men who.
lies , oppose the Government. will be politically
damned in the future. Thet man who votes for 480.
W. Woodward now will regret his act in the future,
