The Friends#
Ts the Editor of The Press:
Sir: Several emya have a peared In The Trees
on “ The Exemption of Friend* from Military Re
quisitions,” but it la evident some of the writers
do not appreciate the motives whieh actuate con*
sistent members of the society.
Since their first rise in England, Friends have
testified that ail wars and fightings are inconsistent
with the Gospel which came by Jesus Christ.
'When they emigrated to this country, they brought
with them the principles of civil and religious liberty,
and, where they had the power, fully guarantied
to their fellow-citizens the same liberty of « on '
science which they claimed for themselves. Almost
immediately alter the arrival of William Penn, n
1682, he issued a code of laws for the gorcrameat or
his then infant Colony of Penn*ylvania, w
stands unrepealed upon our statute t>o° ,
Lord of couieteoce,
“Almighty God being if a# ob> j e^r of a u
Father of r U{ } worship, who only can
and convince the
s^£ntandiEjE*ofpeople, in due reverence to His
w^Sum^overtffaouls of mankind, it is enacted
s®;f». e *uiiu»rity af(>r«sald, that no person no-v, or
asVnr time hereafter, living in this province, who
shall ci-nfcis and acknowledge our Abnighty Goa
lo be the creator, uphold'-r, and ruler of the world,
and that piofrs&e:h him or herself obliged in con*
science to Jive peaceably and justly turner the civil
Government, shall in any wise be molested or pre
judiced for his or her conscientious persuasion or
practice, ****** and if *nv person shall
abuse or deride any other f*»r his or her different
persuasion or practice in inn*ter of religion, such
shall be locked upon as a disturber of the peace,
and be punished accordingly.”
• A recent writer, siluttiog to systems of govern
ment, hat well remarked that “iris to the institu
tions of William Penn that the United States are
chiefly indebted for the example of that civil and
religious liberty which is the basis of our institu
tions.”
The following memorial, which dearly sets forth
the ground# of the tea lm->x)y of the Society of
Friends against war, w*s rtcentlv presented by a
delegation of its mcmiwiß to The President of the
United States and both houses of Gongress:
To the President* Senate and House of Representatives
of the Unitid Slates.
Tbxs memorial of tbe Representative Committee,
or Meeting for Sufferings,«>l th*- Religious Society
of Friends of Pennsylvania. New Jersey, Dela
ware, and adjacent part# of Maryland, respectfully
sbeweth, that
We respect, honor, and love this Government,
which we believe Divine Wisdom has placed over
lit, and because of this we » e?ue that it may, in no
particular, be found striving against God, or perse*
eating His children, however humble in position or
numbers They may be.
Under the piesent law or Congress every Able*
bodied citizen within certaio an**#, la time of war, is
liable to be called upon by t»e Government to bear
arms in its defence.
We represent a people wh-"» cannot comply with
this law without disotnyii g the c unmand of God to
them. Neither can they furnisn * «uf>arjtute v or pay
any equivalent or fine imputed air exemption from
snilit&iy service, because, in an d-*iug, they feel that
they would implicate iu a violation of
Their conscientious sciTii-lrr u» rci« r*«peet.
We hold that the d<>e»rine tbat flu man. govern
ments arc ordained of Gut, not Imply the in
fallibility of those who a.-or.ni-v r tnem. and gives
them no right to require n* r «» rmit’e oar allegiance
to the Almighty, who 1* s -vr-reigii Lord of con
science, and whose right it la to rule and reigm in
the hearts of His cbiidien.
For more than two hut-dre-i years our Society
has held tbe doctrit.e to** ad and

For aseerting and -r»i« a«d other testi

brought under cruel per-* cu:mn. enduring the
despoiling of their estates, lucu la prisons

friends planted tbeir infant c:>ou>, aud proved the
•efficacy of the principle ot fv*ce The conflict of
arms was unknown, and hi*io;y heav* no record of
strife between tbe Indian the Friend.
We, their descendants, nmv aiip:o»ch yon, not
alone with a view to from suffer

sacred rights of aonweiencv. r o r afse fine standard of
the Prince of Peace hefo;-. { he nation, and In His

of God to hearken unto you more than unto God,

In thus defining our position, we enter not into
judgment or condemnation of those who differ from
us.
We appreciate the difficulties that surrouad those
upon whom rests the respoi.Mftility oi guiding the
nation through the awful perils ot civil war.
We appeal to you under a sense of suffering;
afflictions and mourning surround us, and sorrow
hath filled our hearts.
Many oi our young men, overcome by the spirit of
Tver, have lUihed into tne conflict, where some of
them have found an early den.*h - aome have pur*
chased their release from the dr.fc by the payment
©X money ; others have jetuamed steadfast to their
iaith in the hour of trial, theieby subjecting them*
selves to the penalty for desertion.
Trusting in the mercy of our Heavenly Father, we
desire that he may so touch your hearts and under

petition.

letter from General Fremont.
Major General Fremont has written the subjoined
letter to the Chairman of the Committee on Mili
tary Affairs in the House, explanatory of his pre
sent position in the army, and his removal from
tive service for so long a time:
Nsw Yohjz, Jan-, 18*4.
dsnffiAt • The condensed newspaper reports of
the House proceedings in relation to unemployed
officers places me in a position which I am not will
ing to occupy without explanation.
1 need hardly say to you teat it is not by my own
wish that I have been unemployed for the past six
teen months. I requested to be relieved from my
oommand in the Army of Virginia because I regard
ed the order which reduced me to serve under Gen.
Pope as a most unmerited insult.
It was in the discretion of tiie Ptetident to refine
°r grant my request. tub granting or tne request
■imply implied a transfer to other duty, and was not

the President nor the Storet»ry of War so regarded

another officer. °
Under the condition, therefore, of waiting orders,
X have reasonably been desirous to retain, against
the contingency of entering immediately upon ser
vice, a small number of useful officers upon whose
tried ability I could rely for any emergency. Of this
number, several have the experience of many years
in their profession. Fr/>m the beginning of the war
they have been in our service, and left oomfortabie

Anti-slavery Song.
ITor The Press ]
Now, while our Yankee hearts are swelling
With praises of our Wssbiogaon,
And while our Yankee tongues telling
Of chains our fathers trampled on,
Then let these hearts and tongues unite
To seek our injured brother’* light.
Lift, like a trumpet lift your voioes,
Unaway’d alike by fear or guile,
Till every segro child rejoices,
And every parent learns to smile,
And knows that feeling now uuknown—
His wife, his children, are his own*
No passing dream, no empty vision,
Again must o’er our senses creep.
Till we have broke our brother’s prison,
And laid hie fetters in the deep,
And every eon of toil shall be
That which his God hath made him—free.
Sons of Columbia, let us never
The cry of liberty give o’er
Till slavery sinks, and slabs forever.
And man shall wear a ohain no more*
Save one whose lasting link shall bind
In bonds of lqye all human kind.

Festival akd Flag Presentation.—A
beautiful American flag, eighteen feet by tea, to
gether with a liberty cap, wreath, and cushion, were
presented to the Patriotic Order of Washington,
discharged soldiers’ and seamen’s beneficial associa
tion, at the Assembly Buildings, last evening, by
their lady friends of this city. Tho number of per
sons present was quite large, and composed chiefly
of young ladies. Major C. M. Berry conducted the
exercises in hiß usual gentlemanly manner. The
articles above mentioned were presented to the
Association on behalf of the ladies by the Rev.
Mr. Beckwith, in a neat and appropriate speech,
in which he paid an eloquent tribute to the services
rendered by the representatives of the army aad
navy. At the conclusion of his address, Colonel
Phillip S. White said:
Ladies, These testimonials of y eur regard for this
, association of gentlemen who have conferred on me
| the honor of giving expression to their thanks, are
| as-creditable to yourselves as it is honorable to
them. In their name, therefore, and in the name of
the patriot soldier everywhere. X thank you. such
acts are not strained, but fall as the gentle dews
from Heaven, blessing the givers as well as the reci
pients. A testimonial of respect of any kind by fair
women to their country’s defenders, is a proper com
pliment to brave men; but there is a peculiar pro
priety in the language of these gifts made on auoh a
day, and to such an organization as “ The Patriotic
Order Of Washington.” They will read in the strioes
Of this flag love for the Union, parity of intention
in the development of its object, and fidelity to the
solemn obligation of perpetuating its blessings, while
itß multiplied and multiplying stars twinkling from
their bed of azure blue, indicative of Heaven’s pro
tection, will reflect the glories of the battles they
have iought and the victories they have won for their
country and for universal freedom. The Bible will
suggest to them a contest of vastly more importance
than the one from which they have retired with
honored and honorable scars. It will teach them to
bear their well-earned fame with becoming and pro
fitable modesty, to gain victories over themselves ia
this life, and when the war of life is over, to be
crowned with eternal happiness in the one to come;
while the accompaning wreath presented J)y the
hand of woman, bespeaks not only the highest ap
preciation of their noble services, but a beautiful
and delicate intimation that “the brave alone de
serve the fair.” This association of veterans
was organized on the soth of May, 1363.
It is composed of soldiers and seamen who have
been honorably discharged from their country’s ser
vice. They represent every battle-field of this fra
tricidal war, from Virginia to Texas, and from the
Carolinas to Kansas. It was inaugurated for mu
tual relief and assistance. All persons who have
been one year in the military or naval service, and
who have been honorably discharged, are entitled
to full membership, and to & certain weekly stipend
in cue of sickneea or disability* What a beautiful
combination is this of wisdom, benevolence. aud->
patriotism ! The best feelings of the human heart
have prompted it, and the known humanity and
high respectability of its founders must insure the
practical development of its motives. These gen
tlemen have sated wisely in the selection of their
president. Major Casper 11. Berry’s name occupies
no mean place m the history of the Mexican war.
He has been a conspicuous aotor in those soenesof
blood and devastation where Virginia is suffering
the penalty of her pride and the retribution due to
her insolent treason.
ladles I am proud to represent, on this oooaalon,
•uch a band of patriots and philanthropists. They
are worthy of the high compliment which you
»re here to pay them. May they long live to onjoy
it, and may you continue to remember that the beat
evidence ol love of country la to be found In those
who bate thelr breasts to the atom of battle, and
thus hazard life In its defence.

2*® at the corner of Fourth and Arch streets. Co
roner Taf lor held an inquest on the body, and ren
dered a verdict of death from heart dlaease.
THB POLIOE-
Look Out for Him.
A man, calitog himself Mount, has been la the
hsMt, for some time, of collecting moneys ia the
name of the Union Volunteer Refreshment Saloon
Committee. He is said to be a thick set man, about
five feet eight iuohes high, of a clerical appearance,
»cd good address. The attention of the polios has
been called to him. but without SUOoess. He being
an impostor, and not known to any of the Commit
tee of that saloon, the public should be careful,
when they contribute, to place it in the hands ot
proper persons. *
Tire Central Station,
There were ho eases heard at the Station yester
day, nor last evening, possessing any publio interest
whatever. The detectives were busy in the im
mense crowds during the day, to proteot the people
from the nimble digits of professional pickpockets.
Two or three arrests of New York thieves were
made early in the dav. This had the desired effect
upon others who had come from that city for the
purpose of thieving. But few if any of the Phila
delphia pickpockets who are known to the police
were seen in the streets, or at the railroad dd jdta.
