Old Democracy Of rermaylvania.
Under the administration.of Mr. -Mobt
. „
ROE there was practically but one party, the
Republican,. as it was styled
.by Mr. SEE
FERSON and his followers, or Democratic.
party. This was the era 6f good feeling—
Mr. MoicnoE receiving at the election, for
his second term, 231 Electoral votes out .of
232.. At the close of the Monroe Adminis
tration came the last trial of the Congres
sional caucus, which nominated for Pre
sident WILLIAM H. CRAWFORD, of Georgia,
then Secretary of the Treasury, but which
was not considered binding by the Demo
cracy. There were, accordingly, put in
the field three other Democratic candi
dates, Ram 'QUINCY ADAMS, HENEV :
and ANDREW JACKSON. The political leaders
in Pennsylvania, who were really . Calhoun
men,
,met in. convention, at Harrisburg,
during the winter of 18234, _and, contrary
to their own wishes, were forced, by the
universal opinion of the people, to nominate
General ANDREW JACKSON, and to put theiri
favorite into the back ,seat of. the :Vice
Presidency. Mr. ADAMS became the ,Pre
sident by the vote of the House of Repre
sentatives, and in 1828 and 1832 . General
,TAcKsoli . was elected and re-elected, Penn
sylvania always giving her solid vote to
her first and only choice, the Hero of New
Orleans, the sworn foe and extinguisher of
South Carolina' nullification and secession,
as taught and practiced by that metaphysi
cal traitor,,Joni 0, CALEtoux.
In 1844 Mr. POLK was electedand , ob
tained the vote of Pennsylvania by one of
the interpretations put upon the piped
Kane letter by the Democratic editors:and
politicians, who swore through thick and
thin that it was in favor of a tariff. If the,
people had 14DONVIL that Mr. POLK was
really anti-tariff, he never could have had
their votes, for Pennsylvania is, and al
ways has been, a strong tariff State.
They were bitterly undeceived by the
tariff of 1846, and the October election of
that year, signalized by a political, moral,
and physical storm, showed the deep in
dignation of the people at the fraud deli
berately perpetrated upon them. A simi
lar attempt to cheat by ,false tokens, by
holding up a-peace-at•any-prize-man, in the
disguise of an United States , uniform, is
now in progress before our own eyes. In
the annexation of Texas, Mr. TYLER, and
Mr. CALnouN, and Mr. Poria, and Mr.
BUOTTANAN recognized and reaffirmed the
Pennsylvania doctrine of 1819, of the power
of Congress to exclude slavery, upon the
admission of a State, from a part of its ter
ritory, and, of course, of the whole, if ex
pedient, and make it a condition precedent
to its becoming a State of the Union.
The adinission of Texas produced the
war with:: Mexico, and in August, 1846,
in a bill recommended by President PoLx,
to enable him to negotiate with Mexico for
the acquisition .'of territory, the following
proviso was introduced: Provided, that as
an express and fundamental condition to
the acquisition of any territory from the
Republic of Mexico by the United States,
by virtue of any treaty that may be nego
tiated between them, and to the'use by the
Executive of the: moneys herein appio
priated, neither - slavery nor involuntary
servitude shall ever exist in any part of
said territory, except - for crime. whereof th&
party shall be first duly convicted." This
bill and proviso were passed by the House,
and sent to the Senate in the last hours of
the session, and would hare passed that
body but for the unwarrantable conduct of
Mr. DAVIS, of Massachusetts, in persisting
to speak against time, which defeated all
action upon them.
So convinced were.. the people and the.
Democracy of Pennsylvania of the pro
priety of this . proviso, that on the 22d
January, 1847, the Senate and House of
Representatives passed the following joint
" resolution relative to the acquisition of
new territory," by a vote of 95 yeas in
the House, unanimously, and in the Senate
by a vote of 24 yeas to 3 nays:
Trhereas, The existing war with Mexico may re'
3ult in the acquisition of new territory to the Union;
and, whereas, measures are: now "pending in Con
gress; having in view the appropriation of money
and the conferring authority upbn the treaty.making
power to this end ; therefore,
66 tteso/vid, That our Senators and our Repro"
sentativei in Congress be requested to vote against
any measure whatever by *which territory will acorue
to the 'Onion, unless, as a part of the fundamental
law upon which any compact or treaty for this pur
pose is based, slavery or involuntary servitude, except
jar crime, shall be forever prohibited,
" Resolved, That the Governor be requested to
forward a copy of the foregoing to each of our Sena
tors and Representatives in Congress.”
This was done by Governor Suurat, who,
with his whole Cabinet, warmly approved
of them, and thus the Legislatures and
Governors of 1819 and 1847 showed the
unshaken attachment of the Democracy,
and people of the State to free soil in the
Territories of the Union.
In the face of this solemn dticlaration of
the.people of Pennsylvania, Mr. BUCHANAN
addressed a letter to a Fourth of July cele
bration, at Reading, recommending the
extension of the Missouri Compromise line
of 30.30 'to the Pacific ocean—a proposition
which shocked and disgusted every, true
.friend of his. In order to prevent :the pas
sage of the provision recommended by his
own Legislature, he published, as Secretary
of State, the Constitution and laws of
Mexicp, to show that all its territory was
frenterritory. The victory of Btiena Vista
elected General ZACHARY TAYLOR President
of the United States. The Democratic
Governor was defeated in .october, 1848.
On the 4th of July, '1849, the Democratic
Convention to nominate a candidate for
Canal Commissioner; to put the party right
before the people, passed the following
resolution
it Resoliyed, That the Democratic party adheres
now, as it always has done, to the Constitution of
the country. Its letter and spirit they will neither
Weaken'nor destroy; and they redeclare that slavery
is a domestic local institution of the Sotsth, subject
to State laws alone, and with which the General
Government has nothing to do. Wherever the State
law - extends its jurisdiction, the local institution can
continue to exis.t. Esteeming it a violation of State
rights to carry it beyond State limits, we deny the
power of any citizen to extend the area of bondage
beyond its present dominion; nor, do 'fie Consider it
a past of the Constitution that slaiery should for
ever travel with the advancing column of territorial
progress.,,
This resolution gave the . Democratic
candidate fora Canal Commissioner over
13,000 majority, bin it displeased, shocked,
and embittered Mr. RIICRANAIsT, who had
been for years . propitiating the South . by
worshipping at the shrine of slavery. From
1780 And the time of Pres'ident REED, for
.
an uninterrupted eriod of severity years,
there had• beet;bill one fixed principle. of
Democracy upon the extension'of slavery,
founded upon a stern disapprobation of the
system itself, as cruel and , degrading to
humanity, " and a most foal blot upon the
American character." This was old Jefer
son and Jackson Dernocracy, and we shall
hereafter look at the modern Democracy
commenced CALHOUN and perfected by
I.* grpat disciple, JEFFERSON DAVIS, who
gave the law to the two last Democratic
Presidents.L
Fnor the diaries of officers on board the
gunboat:
_Galena, during the retreat from.
Richmond, it seems to be conclusively
proven that General McOLELLAN was part
of, the crew, instead of the army, during
the battle of Malvern. To which, then,
does General MCCIXLLAN belong, the army
or t the navy'?-We presume that he is an
amphibious general.
Facts for the Poor Man.
Let us consider the delusions which the
poor and the uninformed are apt. to labor
under from the teachings of lying politi
cians :
Ist. They are led to - expect that when
General MCCLELLAN obtains power there
will be no more drafting.
Now, General MCCLELLAN himself ex
pressly urged a draft, even before the com
pletion .of the enrolment, while in com
mand of the army. Still he declares that
the military poiver of the rebellion must be
destroyed. 'Should negotiations fail to re
store the "gnion, he must prosecute the war
with even greater vigor, according to his
own showing. Now, if he manages to
effect an armistice, and retire his navies
froin the coasts, his armies from the rebel
lines, and disband 200,000 black soldiers,
how is he, in the name of common sense,
going to resume the war_without making a
draft, the rigors of which our poor have
never felt before ?
SECOND DELTYSION.—Gen; MCCLELLAN
will restore the' cuirency to its sound con
dition., There will, be no more high prices,
and the wages_ of the laboring man will in
crease.
We caution the honest poor man to be
ware of this absurd falsehood. When dema
gogues tell them that the financial health
of the nation can be restored in a week, or
month, or year, or four years, with the
methods proposed by McCLELLAsa's pro
minent supporters, they utter impossible
statements and deliberate untruths. Gen.
McCLELLAN is in favor of peace by nego
tiation, of an armistice, &e. Very little
calculation - will show that any interrup
tion to the war before the rebel Government
is brought to sue for peace will only serve
to prolong it, or create the independence of
the South. Our armies are at Atlanta
and before Richmond, while SHERIDAN
is winning victories in the ?Shenandoah.
Stop these armies in the midst of victory,
and recognize the South by entering into
negotiations whose basis Must be the ac
hnowledgment of a Confederacy, and the
disgrace of such a catastrophe will produce
panic in finance and commerce, and inse
curity in society, added to the evils which
we endure as part of a state of honest war.
But if Gen. MCCLELLAN'S negotiation only
succeeds in prolonging the war, what will
prevent our debt from increasing at i a
terrible rate ? What is to become of GRANT
and SRENMAN if General AIcOLELLAN is
elected ? Who are to manage his treasury.?
Are they FERNANDO Woo and the other
eminent Copperheads who propose the as
sumption of' the whole Southern war, debt,
and at the same time are only in favdr of a
reconstruction of the Union ? Are they
the profligate and dishonest speculators of
New York, who have labored to produce
unnatural rises in the price of gold, and
artificial depreciation of the currency ;
who fight against every measure calcu
lated to relieve our finances ? Are they the
shoddy contractors., who, having made
money from our armies and the Govern
ment, having been brought to punishment
for fraud and malpractice, are now using
their means to defeat the Administration
in order to produce such a state of
corruption as will enable them to dis
guise their dishonesty and to steal
more ? • Are they AUGUST BELMONT &
Co., the New York representatives of the
gold of-the RorrnsonmDs in this country, of
the foreign_ idea that 'Americans can be
bought, of the pro-rebel ideas of the Lon
don Times 7- 'Will General MCCLELLAN be •
Ids own financier ? Let the poor man re
member, then, that the far greater propor
tion of the public debt has been produced
by General . MCCIALLAN'S own disasters.
No period of the war has been so full of
blunder, failure, and prolonged misfortune
as the-few years in which he commanded.
He was a costly general in every sense. It is
proverbial that he required more men than
any other general we have had in the field,'
and more supplies and munitions than he
could ever take care of. Seven months of
miserable inaction in Washington, while
the Potomac river was left to the rebel
blockade, cost us extravagant millions
The long delay in starting to the Peninsu
la, the indisputable Quaker guns at Manas
sa&.:the Chinese_eeneralship rllarlo37.a
'Yorktown, the inexplicable sloth in pur
suing
the rebels, the absurd blunders of not
reinforcing HooxEn at Williamsburg, and
not following up his fortunate victory—
and the subsequent delay, timid stoppages,
demoralizing idleness, unredeemed by suc
cess, and only justified by the general's
unfortunate vanity—all these cost us ex
travagant millions. The " change of
base" from Richmond to Harrison's
Landing, during which 'General Mc-
CLELLAN proposed the destruction of
the private equipage and baggage of all
his officers and men, after ordering the
greater part•of his stores to be burned, was
a disastrous movement, which cost us many
millions more. The yresence of General
MCCLELLAN on the gunboat Galena, and
his failure to profit by victories which his
soldiers and generals gained in . spite
of him, was another costly mistake, , y The
acknowledged and oft-repeated fatuity of
magnifying the numbers of the enemy so
that forces of 40,000 became 100,000, and
armies of. 100,000, 200,000 strong—all these
vain delusions of the puppet general be
came expensive items to the Government.
The treachery of Frrz aoulT PORTER • (we
can find no milder name for it) was
another of the monumental expenses
of his military household. POPE'S ca
tastrophe may be added to PORTER'S di
vision of the bill of costs Yet even
after this .:hundred-fold prodigality of
disaster, we must again debit our
vaunt
• ing and flimsy little hero. With his
own army and the army of POPE (some
what discouraged, we grant, but outnum-,
bering the force of the enemy) he marched
five miles a day to overtake the forces of
General LEE. He reached the enemy in
time to fight battles, and fought them in a
manner• to render victory fruitless. What
GRANT, SHERMAN, and SHERIDAN have not
done, he grossly exaggerated his successe&
When the Government, with an economical
desire which the General did not appreciate,
again commanded him to move, the Gene
ral declined. Not alone has MCCLELLAN
himself been a vast expense to the country,
but his eminent lieutenant BUELL has
been a ruinous cost and failure in propor-
Win. GRANT, with all his victories, has
not cost us half as much as MCCLELLAN
Or BUELL. Yet Gen. MoCDarzaia's mili
tary shortcomings are blamed upon the
Administration, so prompt to recognize
the genius of GRANT, while the incapa
ble policy which was the consequence, not
the antes, of his military incapacity, is
adopted and avowed by a political party.
Now, if General MCCLELLAN can show Us
one single permanent good result of all the
absurd anaconda strategy, and his amiable
anaconda policy, which have been so singu
larly strangled in their own coils, we are
quite willing to accept the uninterpretable
jargon which his friends announce as his
principle& But,• in brief, let the poor man
ask himself—how much has this spoiled
favorite already cost the nation ? It is
proposed to restore a military failure and
a ruinous policy to power. General Mc-
CLELLAN is to be made not a corps com
mander, not a commander of a department,
but the President of the 'United States—a
military and political incuba&to sit upon
our victories.. The citizen who is in
terested in the price of flour and .coal may
well ask himself—how much will it cost
me to help WOOD and VALLANDtc aAii to
elect MCCLELLAN
The
Necessity of Reinforcements.
The great want of the country at pregent
is reinforcements for our armies. The losses
in battle from sickness and other causes
are such that to carry on successfully the
sieges of Richmond and Petersburg, or to
thoroughly invest them, our armies must
be reinforced. Could GRANT once bring
LEE to a general action in the open field,
it would soon be over with this pertinacious
rebel. If he does so it will be an accident,
is it is LEE'S interest to remain inhislines.
Hence, it becomes the duty of all good citi
zens to exert themselves to furnish the men
called for in the coming draft, and, above
all, by bounties and otherinducements, to
encourage the veterans to' re-.enli r st. One
of them is worth more than five, raw . re
cruits. Nothing will more thoroughly dis
courage our enemies ; nothing but that
will convipce them of our earnestness and
determination to put down the rebellion.
Moreover, it will convince our traducers
over the water that we do not mean to be
trifled with, that our resources are yet un
touched, and that there is not the least evi
dence of exhaustion on our part. The
rebels expect that our efforts will be, dis
tracted by the coming Presidential election.
They mistake the peace faction for a party ;
they believe in a divided North, and,
buoyed up with this belief, they are making
superhuman efforts to maintain their posi
tion intact. Show them that their hopes
are unfounded, and the reaction will be
tremendous. A.nd when they are con
vinccd we will persevere to the end, they
will yield. Their leaders have deceived
the masses with the cry that we desired to
subjugate them, and that an insurrection
was about to break out in the North.
These false hopes, like that of foreign in
tervention, must pass away. Our deceived
brethren, once convinced of our favorable
disposition towards them, peace and plenty
will again reign throughout the land.
Major General D. B. Birney.
We have authority for saying that Lieu
tenant General GRANT and Major Generals
BUTLER, MEADE, and RAwcocur have writ
ten a joint letter to the President of the
United States, recommending that Major
General BERNEY be appointed a brigadier
general in the regular army. Thi'S is a
well-deserved compliment to an officer who
has been with the nation, heart and hand,
from the beginning of our struggle until
the'present day. General Brim'Ev emerged
from civil life, and.joined the A.rmy of the
Potomac as colonel of a regiment of Penn
sylvania volunteers. He has been in every
battle fought by that army, with the single
exception of thi , action at. A.ntietam, anti
he has won his way steadily up to the ex
alted position which he now holds as ma
jor'general of volunteers and . commander
of the
.10th Army Corps. The public may
not have forgotten that General 1311MBY,
on more than one occasion : , has been as
sailed by the hastily-written and ground
less attacks of newspaper correspondents.
Throughout these cruel and unjust assaults
upon his reputation he preserved a soldierly
silence, preferring to vindicate himself with
his sword upon• the bloody fields of the fu
ture than to engage in a pen and ink con
test with his anonymous slafiderers. His
wisdom and valor have nobly vindicated
him ; -and in this letter of recommendation
by the highest military authorities of the
land—by men who are themselves covered
with the glories of innumerable victories
General Balmy must receive a satisfaction
that is above price in the eyes of a true.
soldier. The President will no doubt grant
the request with that alacrity which has
ever characterized his generous nature
where justice was to be done or merit
rewarded.

LETTER FROM "OCCASION/16'Y
WASHINGTON, Sept. 24, 1861
I have been spending a few days in some
of our Northern cities, and find abundant
cause for congratulation and hope. I must
confess I did not realize the deep came'
ness that pervades all classes until Twent
among the people, and looked them in the
eye, and felt the grasp of their hands. The
people of the free States mean to re-elect
Abraham Lincoln President, and to give
him such a majority that all hopes of Euro
pean intervention or of Northern •recogni
tion, through the triumph of a peace candi
date or a peace platform, must 'be forever
abandoned. They will do this as an ear
nest of their purpose to prosecute the war
to a legitimate, speedy, and perpetual
peace. We have all had doubts ; of New
York. The State is anchored fast in the
watereof freedom, but the city, with its
vast multitude of interests, its inter
course with the distant foreign world,
its isolation from national sympathy,
and its moneyed aristocracy, is so large
ly against freedom that there has been
a danger of its carrying the State by virtue
of its large majorities and those contri
vances so well known to the politicians of
New York. Yet, even in New York, I
found the McClellan tide on the ebb, and a
ground-swell in. favor of Lincoln that may
revolutionize even the metropolis. The
Democratic leaders were arranging his
canvass very much as the Mr. Mica wber
of Dickens' story arranged his financial
schemes. They would elect their favorite,
not by majorities nor by a direct vote of
the people, but by some technicality, or
quibble, or subterfuge. In plainer words,
they had abandoned the canvass, so far as
any dire& - fight for preference or even prin
ciple was concerned,• and • awaited the 're
sult of the election very much as the Saxon
king awaited the subsiding of the waters.
But the waters will not obey their bidding.
In Pennsylvania I found even. a more
gratifying condition of affairs. The Cop
perheads of that State, and particularly
those who congregate in Philadelphia,
have been fluent in their calculations for
carrying Pennsylvania. If ~any Common
wealth would " rebuke" the Administra
tion, it would certainly be the . Common
wealth that has suffered so much from - the
rebel invader. Chambersburg had been
burned, the Cumberland valley had been
desolated, and the towns along the South- .
ern border were liable at any moment to'
be captured and burned. Of course, Penn
sylvania would " rebuke " the Government
that had abandoned her to rebel invasion,
and throw herself under the protection of
a general who found it impossible, with
an army of over a hundred thou
sand men, to keep Stuart and a bri
gade of cavalry out of Franklin coun
ty. In Pennsylvania, however, I found
the Union feeling sweeping everything be
fore it. The Democrats who fought slave
ry in earlier days, and who began the
war against rebellion. by making a war upon
the great apostle of rebellion, James Bu
chanan, are all warm and earnest in their
devotion to, the Union cause and the Union
candidate.
.GenCial Cameron has'made a
thorough organization of the State, and, after
close examination of the field, has so dis
posed his forces that no single point of ad
vantage will be neglected. , The Governor
is earnest in his support:of the candidates,
and those who claim to represent him, and
are his special friends, are all laboring with
enthusiasm to gain this victory. Such men
as Dougherty, Cessna, Brewster, Knox,
Shannon, and Champneys, .and hosts
of Democrats like • them, who follreng and
believe the true democracy that came to us
from our fathers, are active and eloquent
in favor of Lincoln. In addition to this, I
have bad another evidence of the power
and energy of your great Union League.
The history of the war will be feebly writ
ten if 'it does not speak of the doings of
this magnifice4 association. — We May

mail of the 4th and sth Inst. and the New York mall
of the sth and 6th init. A large portion of the malls
have been rescued from the wreck and brought to
Newbern.
A flag of truce recently brought to Newbern a
large number of refugees, many of whom belong to
the first families of the State, who are on their way
,North, having lost all confidence in the Confederate
cause since the fall of Atlanta. Among the number
is the wife of the rebel General Martin.
The Wilmington and Weldon Railroad has ad
vertised a dividend of ten per cent.
The Salisbury (North Carolina) Itratsliman hae
the following: "We protest against the inhuman
treatment extended to Yankee deserters, who' are
subjected to a course of treatment whtoh makes fife
far more uncertain than the battlefield gaol*: A
general pardon from Lincoln would doubtless re
lieve the Confederacy of at least fifty thousand of
these miserable beings, provided tbey have strength
enough to enable them to make their escape North."

well say that war has refined politics. The
privations and sufferings of many
.cam
paigns have - chastened and purified the
people. The associations of the canvass
are no longer those of the grog-Shop and
gambling hell. The men of wealth and
taste and respectability have gradually
taken this important duty into their own
hands, and we see in the Union League
what these- men can do in the most sa
cred work of citizenship. I know of - no
one civil organizatioh that has done-one.
half as much for the cause as the Union
League. Comprising many men of prince
ly fortune, it has given its money with
princely liberality to the raising of troops,
the care of the wounded and sick, and the
management of elections. It is managing
the campaign in its own way in Phila
delphia, and with characteristic enter
prise begins the work by leasing one of
the finest public .halls in the city. An
agency like this can do a world of good
in behalf of a good cause, and I do not
think the loyal men of to-day, nor those
who come after, to write the story of this
great revolution, will be just or grateful if
they fail to recognize and rewaud these
true and brave men.
Thus we see that on all sides the ranks
are:closing up. With swords drawn and
shields locked the friends of the Union
march on to victory. McClellan cannot be
elected unless by a trick or a subterfuge;
and we not only have the assurance of
triumph; but a triumph that shall be over
whelming. The country is aroused. Men,
women, and children, the soldier, clergy
man, judge, are alike engaged in, the Holy
Work. Ido not use the words profanely,
for it is a Holy Work indeed. We are in a
new crusade. We war upon slavery and
treason as the early knights warred upon
Paganism and tyranny. They saved 'from
destruction the <religion of Christ. We
shall save from destruction the principle of
liberty and law. In this spirit let us con
duct the campaign to the close. •

Tb Lieut. General U. S. Grant, City Point:
I cannot as yet give any definite account of the
results of the battle of yesterday. Our loss will be
light; General Crook struck the left flank of the
enemy, doubled It up, and advanced down their
lines. Itickett's diviSion of the 6th Army Corps
swung in and joined Crook, Gettrs and Wheaton's
divisions took up the same movement, followid by
the whole line, and, attacking beautifully, carried
the works of the enemy.
The rebels threw down their arms and tied'in the
greatest donfusion, abandoning most of their ar
tillery. It was dark before the battle ended. I
pursued on after the enemy during the night to
this point with the 13th and 9th Corp's', and have
stopped here to rest the men and issue rations. "
It General Torbert has pushed down the Luray.
Valley, according to my directions, he will achieve
great results,
I do not think that there aver was an army so
badly routed. The valley soldiers are hiding away,
and going to their homes.
I cannot at present give you any estimate of pri

number of pieces of artillery reported captured is
sixteen. P. H. SMIRIDAN, Major General.
You are directed to (muse a national salute of one

by a rebel sharpshooter, but many doubt the. truth
of the statement.
Recruits should not bring such large emote of
money with them into the field. As a generatthing
they are never easy until they have either srient.Or

A deserter who . came in on Thursday evening says

To the Louisville Agent of ehe New York 4.Bsociated
Your preSs despatches of the 21st instant embrace
one from Macon, Georgia, of the 14th instant,
announcing the arrival of the first train of
refugees from Atlanta, with this addition, "That
they were robbed of everything before being. sent
into the rebel lines." Of course that is false, and
it is idle to contradict it, so fat as rebels are con
cerned, for they purposed it as a fals'ehood, to create
a mischievous public opinion.
The truth is, that, during the truce, 446 famillai
were moved South, making 705 adults, 860 children,
979 servants, with 1,651 pounds .of furniture and
household goods, on an average, forna,ch family, of
which I have a perfect recollection. -
At the end of the truce, Col. Warner, of my staff,
who had general supervision of the business, re

ments of the distress that will be occasioned by it,
and yet shall not revoke my order, simply because
my orders are not designed to meet the humanities
of the case, but to prepare for the future struggle in
which millions, yea, hundreds of mi ll ions, of good
people outside 01 Atlanta have a deep interest. We
must have
_peace, not- only , in Atlanta, but in all
America:— To secure this we must 'stop the war that
now desolates ouronce happy•and favored country.
To stop warwe must defeat„ the, rebel armies that
are arrayed against the laws .and Constitution
which all mexil_must respect'ltrid obey. To defeat

Instruments whlchlenable us to accomplish our par

• " Now I know the vindictive nature of our enemy,
'and that wo may have many years of military ope
rations from this quarter, and therefore dee.m it wise
and prudent to prepare in time. The use of Atlanta
for warlike purposes is inconsistent with its charac
ter 118 a home for families. There will be no manu
factures, commerce or agriculture here for the
maintenahce of families, and, sooner or later, want
will compel the inhabitants to go. Why not go
now, when all the arrangements are completed for
"the transfer, instead of waiting until the plunging
shot of contending armies will•renew the scenes of
the past month ? Of course Ido not apprehend any.
suoh thing at this moment, but you do not suppose
this army will be here till the war is over? I can
not discuss this subject with you fairly, because I
cannot impart to you what I propose to do ;• but I
assert that my military plans make it necessary for
the inhabitants to go away, and I can only renew
my offer of services to make their exodtu3 in any di
rection as easy and comfortable as possible. You
cannot qualify war-in harsher terms than I will .
" War is cruelty, and - you cannot refine it; and
those who brought war on our country deserve all
the curses and maledictions a people can pour oat.
knuw I had no hand in making this war, and I
know that I will make more sacrifices than any of
you today to secure peace. But you cannot have
peace and a division of our country. 'lf the United
States 'submits to a division now, It will not stop,
but will go on till we reap the fate of Mexico, •
which is eternal war. The United States does and
Must assert its authority wherever it has power • if
it relaxes one bit of pressure it is gone, and I know
that such is not the national feeling. This feeling
assumes various shapes, but always comes back to
that of Union. Once admit the Union, once more
acknowledge the authority of the National Govern
ment, and instead of devoting your houses, road
streets, and' roads to the dread uses of war; I and
this army become at onee.yourprotectors and sup
porters, shielding you frcim;danger, let it come from
what quarter it may.V . .i . ;kstow that a -few indi
viduals cannot resist a torrent of error and passion
such as has swept the South into rebellion ; but you
can point out, so that we may know those who de
sire a Government, and those who insist on war and
its desolation.
"You might as well appeal against the thunder
storm as against the terrible hardships of war.
They are inevitable, and the only way the people
of Atlanta can hope once more to live in peace and
quiet at home is to stop this war, which. can alone
be done by admitting that it began in error, and is
_perpetuated in pride. We don't want your negroos,
or your horses, or your houses, or your land, or any
thing you have; but we do want and will have a
just obedience to the laws of the United States.
That we will have, and if it involves the destruction
of your improvements, we.cannot help it. You have
heretofore read public sentiment in your newspa,
papers, that live by falsehood and excitement, and
the quicker you seek for truth in other quarters the
better for you. .
"I repeat, then, that, by the original eompaot
of government; the United States had certain
rights in Georgia which have never been re
linquished, and never will be; that the South
began war by seizing forts, arsenals, mints, custom
houses, etc., etc., long before Mr. Lincoln was in
stalled, and before the South had one jot or tittle of
provocation. I, myself, have • seen, in Missouri,
Kentucky, Tennessee, and Mississippi, hundreds
and thousands of women and children, fleeing from
your armies and• desperadoes, hungry and: -with
bleeding feet. In Memphis, Vicksburg, and Mis
sissippi, we fed thousands upon thousands- of the
families of rebel soldiers left on our fiends, and
whom we could riot see starve. Now that war comes
home to you,,you feel very different—you deprecate
• its horrors, but did not feel them when you sent car
loads of soldiers and ammunition, and moulded
shells and 'shot, to carry war' into Kentucky' and
Tennessee, and desolate the homes of hundreds and
thousands of good people, who only asked to.live in
peace awieir, ela...homesiand under tile Goverti-•
merit of their Inheritance. But ttieie comparisons
are idle. I want peace, and believe it only can be
reached through.lJnion and war,
and I will ever
conduct war purely With a view to perfect and early
success. 1 r
"But, my dear sirs, when that peace does come,
you may ca u ll 4 bn mo for anything. Then will I share
with you last cracker and watch with you' to
shield your lomes and
families against danger from
every quart r. Now, you must. go, and take with
you the oiej and feeble; feed' and nursethem, and
build for them in more quiet places proper habita-

Times on McCleilan's Nomination.
FATHER POINT, Sept. 24.—The steamship North
American loft Liverpool at 7 °retookk on the evening
of the 12th inst., taking the place of the Damascus,
which was obliged to return to port with machinery
disabled.
The steamship Asia, from Borton. r arrived at
Queenstown on the 11th.
The steamship Peruvian, from Quebec, arrived
at Londonderry on the morning of the 12th inst.
The London and local journals were discussing
the Asia's news, which seemed: to furnish the sole
topic of interest on Liverpool 'Change, but seemed
to have little effect, either good or bad on business.
The Times says: Never since the war began has
there been such a display of vigor and energyon both
sides. Battle succeeds battle with frightful rapidity.
The conflicts are long_ and bloody, the victories tri
tlingand indecisive. The most importantpart of the
news relates to the Chicago Convention. Lincoln and
his policy have received a heavy check, that Conven
tion having chosen McClellan, whom Lincoln, en
deavored to keep down, the man most able toorepalir
his errors, and correct the. ruin plainly now per
vading over this great Republic. It will be ob
served that the .Constitution speaks of the preserva
tion of the Union as the principal object. But this
declaration would have had more weight if the
_Convention had stated what course it would' re
commend in case the conciliation and compromise
which itadvises should fail in effecting, as assuredly
they will, the reconstruction of the Union.
The Post says General McClellan has always been
distinguished for extreme moderation. If installed
unfettered by pledges, there is reason to believe he
would assent to any arrangement which might
bring to a termination a war which no one knows
better than himself is equally wicked' nd profitless.
The Star thinks the Federal successes at Atlanta
and Mobile will powerfally stimulate the war feeling
in the North, and, inasmuch as they bear veryharei
ly upon the South, it is possible that the Southern
leaders may be much inclined to listen to compro
mise before their military strength. is entirely
broken. In this view, they would be more inclined
to treat with McClellan than Lincoln. But the
Northern people will see lees cause for change when
Lincoln's Administration brings success. • '
The Daily News says: In presence of the great
movements in the field, the proceedings of the Chi
cago Convention are of much less importance than
otherwise might be. McClellan's platform is friend
ly to the Union, with efforts for its peaceful re-sata
blisbreent.
In point of fidelity the Democrats cannot compare
with the Republicans, while nothing could be,
weaker than vague aspirations after peace, on no
baste at all, or on a basis which the South has re
peatedly declared It will never, under any circum
stances, recognize.

TBE UNION .CAMPAIGN CLUB.
A GRAND DEMONSTRATION
IVIATMINATED PAGEANTRY.
Handsome Transparencies and Excellent Mottoes
SEVERAL ATTACKS MADE ON THE PROCESSION.
The Enemy Repulsed at Every Point.
On Saturday evening the Union Campaign Club,
being a reorganization of the People's Club and Re
publican Invincibles of 1860, made their first Street
parade. The joint club, as thus constituted, will
make a number of parades between the present
time and the Presidential election. It may be said
that the two clubs of 1860 furnished many soldiers
for the Union army, and the remaining veterans
forming a, nucleus, a reorganization was ef
fected within the past two weeks. Thit first
battalion, of soldiers paraded on Saturday
evening about two thousand four hundred, the re
mainder of the procession being composed of civilians
occupying prominent positions in the community.'
The parade.was entifely_satisfactory to the gentle- •
men who were interested in getting it up. As a.:
club, it is atreadytwice as strong in point of numbers
as in the campaign of 1860.. There was,,nothing in
thelir c e,...not a motto or lantern, that any . sensible, -_
intelligent "ralinr — contn - - v oreroi7--verser---...,;ptt on
to. Unfortunately, however, there is a class
of ignorant, whisky-besotted individ uals in all
large• communities who cannot appreciate - 're
finement, gentility, or individual rights. They
are always ready with rudenessand coarse remarks,
to engage in a roW; thus denying to others certain
rights. A portion of this dais of beings groaned
the procession as It passed the 6, low concert salobmll
on Walnut Street, now used as a meeting place eve
ry evening by the opponents of the '.Union party.
Others of the same class of people made several at•
tacks upon parts of the procession, which finally
came near terminating in the entire destruction of
the Keystone Club Headquarters on Chestnut street.
This place would have been demolished had it not
been for the forbearance and gentility of the great
mass of citizens that formed the procession: The
fireworks used on the occasion of the parade were'
extensive and beautiful. The piece in Independence
Square was one of the Prettiest that ever illuminated
that sacred enclosure. We may also state that .
many houses on the route of the parade were bril
liantly illuminated or decorated with flags. On
Brown street, from Fifth to Sixth, an entire row of
handsome mansions were blazing with patriotic
light, and the windows were ftlied with ladies wav
ing their handkerchiefs and evincing other signs of
approval as the pageant moved over this part of the
route.
THE PROCESSION.
The two clubs met at half past soven o'Cloek—the
'Union on Library street and in the Square the In
vincibles at Sansom and Sixth streets. The line
was finally formed, and as the clock struck eight the
march commenced in the following order :
Col. William B. Kann, chief marshal, flanked
right and left by Henry Bumm, Esq., the City Trea
surer, and Frederick X. Adams, Esq., the next Re
gister of Wills; then followed alarge number of the
staff of the chief, all mounted on as pretty horses as
ever appeared to public view. •
TALNSPARZNOY
representing two pictures of President Lincoln—
the first places Ihe President in the attitude of
raising a large maul ; at his feet writhes a broken
headed Copperhead, with the face of Jeff Davis.
The reptile is apparently wriggling with agony and
endeavoring to . strike his venomous fangs Into his
captor ; at the same time, it would seem that he is
afraid of the ponderous uplifted maul aforesaid.
On the reverse of this transparency the President is
represented as splitting : nib in the Western coma
try. He has already gone to the wilds of the
West; a log cabin
. is erected, and the primeval
soil is made to yield its virtues for the
benefit of the human family. On the sides
of this banner aro the names of the battles that end
ed in victory to the Union army. This transparency
was carried by Peter Clare, a veteran soldier.
A number of small lanterns were carried by the
advance guard, with various mottoes, the most strik
ing of which was the following:
"Peace Makers--Grant, Sherman, Parragut. 73 •
Band of FoiV Places.
Here followed the Ist Division of the Union Cam
paign -Club. .
Next camathe 2d Division or Ist Battalion of Va.
teran Soldiers, two thousand four hundred strong.
They carried a number of large -transparencies,
plenty of small ones, and nearly two thousand
torches. From among the many mottoes we notice
the following::
•
' "Free BallotS for Patriots."
•
"Free Fight for Traitors."
"An Undivided Union."
"No Party but our Country."
"Sherman got up Early on Monday morning."
"A Free Ballot for all Loyal Men." _
"Robert, I will not hurt ion too much; I will fight
7on-gentlemanly."—Antietant.
ANSPAYLENCIES.
. -
A clever-sized banner was .borne aloft that at
tracted more than ordinary attention. On the top
of' it in large letters we learned that it was
" TEM TEMPLE OP THE usroN.3l
_ -
In the foreground a number of workmen were
busily engaged in erecting the temple, or at least
making an addition to it of another column. A.
crowd ofladies and gentlemen are looking on ap
• provingly. To the left is a broken column labelled
BBlcOlellllan ; the workmen are engaged in removing
It. The ocaiunns are arranged In a straight line,
each being named after a President, from the first
to the last. That dedicated to Buchanan is repre
sented as split; the one about to be placed in posi
tion is named Lincoln. The work appears to be
going on finely and !successfully, and the - group of
admiring spectators are ready to give cheers at the
proper time. The motto on this banner was this:
B UNION—DEATH TO TRAITORS."
Then followed other large lanterns, containing a
choice selection of mottoes, as follows :
" No compromise with.traitors in arms."
. "Engineer of the railroad to Skit River, idol
George."
" A' platform Is the part's soul—a candidate is
the party's body ; separate the body from the sold,
and death ensues."
- 2Be as firmly united for our Government as the
re els are against it."
"If you vote for PacCilellan yon vote for Pendle
ton:"
"Peace men controlled the Chicago Convention."
The following motto is worthy of reflection, as. it
is an answer to the aspersion of the ignorant that
President Lincoln commenced the war :
"Secession is not the event of a day ; it has been
a matter nursed for thirty years."—Rhea, of South
Cdrolina.
Nowcomes a warning voice from that great
pcace-mner, Lieut. Gen. Ulysses.S. Grant: -
"Their only hope Isla a divided North."-17:4".
Grant.
Then, following, wo have an extract from an M ad-.
dress of General cClellan io the Army of the Po-'
tonsao. As a smaltpart of impartial history it is re
freshing -
" The campaign shall be short, sharp, and decisivti.
—McClellan.')
To which the following reply Is made-by some of
his veteran troops :
"We intend to make it so.-Ist Bat. Union Cast
p**2. chub." •
The next motto that came under our observation
was an extract of a letter from the intrepid General
Sherman, who says:
" Our Government, though a democracy, should
In time of trouble be able to wield the power of a
grt at nation."— W. T. Sherman.
"We ignore all political* elements to save the
Unlon—we must be either for or against the rebel.
"Pendleton, the peace-onany.terms candidate,
never voted a man or a dollar to crush the rebellion
or sustain the soldier's widow. That's what's the
matter." •

"We have fought the enemies of our Wintry

TTCANSPABENCr.
A conspicuous transparency cama in for a very
great share of praiseworthy remark, and almost a
universal response of approbation as it moved along
the streets. This device consisted of six likenesses
from photographs, of Grant. Sherman, Meade, Far.
ragut, Sheridan, and Hancock. These likenesses
were painted by an artist who seemed to have taken
some care in finishing the work. The transparency
represents these six great men of the nation as the
Union.
"Peace Commissioners, appointed by Abraham
Lincoln, President of the United States."
On Chestnut street particularly this banner was
received. with universal approval.. . The ladies in
the windows of private mansions, and at all the
large hotels on that street, waved their handker
chiefs, while an immense mass of men en - the side
walks cheered themselves hoarse. The scene was
exciting to every patriot. Motto—" We- are for a
permanent peace, therefore we must vote for Abra
ham Lincoln and a vigorous prosecution of the
war."
Here followed seven four horse omnibuses, filled
with soldiers whose wounds were of such a nature
that they could not walk. The brave fellows ware
happy. They added to the Interest of the magnLft
cent parade by singing in fall chorus :.. .
" Rally round the nag: boys _ .
"Johnny fill up the bowl—we'll all drink stone
blind? &O. &e. . . . 5,i, •
,ItItPTMIOAF xfivntordwis.
This reorganization brought up the rear of the pa
rade. The members were uniformed In steel-color
caps and capes, the same as in 1860. They marched
well, in solid column, to the music of the campaign
tune, "Rally Round the Flag, Boys." A large ban
ner was carried in advance; ft had on it the follow
ing : t v
"We are Coming, Father Abrahaip. Invincible
in 1860—Invincible in 1864:" .
4, Our Army and Navy . ; God blens . them."
"Company C, California Regiment. We are all
Republican InvMonica.' We honor the namee and
deeds of our noble dead."
The members generally carried torches, and their
appearance was the theme of thousands of happy
remarks.
ATTAOSB ON Tici
The extreme right of the liiie had just passed the
Continental Theatre. in front of which a large
crowd of disorderly persons were standing. On the
opposite side of the way a confectionery and dwell
ing were brilliantly Illuminated with Union lan
terns. Ladies graced the windows with their pre
sence, and waved silk flags. The cheering response
from the procession to this manifestation of appro
val, prevented ears polite and moral feelings being
insulted by the profanity and obscene epithets free
ly made use of by the gang of malcontents, who did
everything to 'proYeke a riot except striking a sin
gle blow. - The scene at this point ended with
out any personal encounter. After the proces
sion had passed, large crowds remained behind, and
the strength of the two partterwas tested in the usu
al manner, by cheering for their respective . favorites.
It was evident that the Unionists were far in the
majority. The rebel sympathizers subsided. In Be
veral neighborhoods, where the lower order.of peo
ple mostly live, there were groans given as the pa
rade moved along. - These evidences of malignant
feeling were passed by with contempt. At Twelfth
and °berry streets a few drunken, fellows essayed
to come in personal collision with the procession.
Two or three of them were "doubled up" in a few
moments, and "order reigned in Warsaw." At
Tenth and Christian streets a savage, brutal attack
was made by a set of men who, like eloseby's gotta
tines, are quiet by day, but murderers and robbers
by night. A fight ensued-here, but it was "short,
sharp, and decisive." The guerillas were repulsed.
About a dozen were wounded, and two were taken
prisoners.
'Everything passed off quietly in other neighbor.
hoods, until reaching the end of the route,which was
Independence Hall.- The marshal and his aids,
the band and advance guard, had passed to the hail
on the front thereof. The main body of the Union
Campaign Club was quietly passing along In front
of the Keystone Club Headquarters. The building
was wrapped in darkness. On the sidewalk a num
ber 'of lawless people, consisting of pickpockets,
gamblers, pimps, and young men of doubtful pa
rent age were assembled. Presently the report of a
pistol was heard ; the flash was semi-horizontal.
This was fired from about the middle of the side
walk in front of the Keystone quarters. In less
time than it takes to write '"about, it, the soldiers
rushed towards the headquarters. "under the im
pression . that one of their, number had been
shot. The -Cry raised at this important
crisis was "let the Johnnies show themselves—
bring the Johnnies down." The confusion that en
sued beggars description. A horse rode by one of
the assistant marshals fell on the smooth surface of
the cubical blocks; this event added to the excite
ment. It appearing, however that nobody was
hurt, the procession soonformed l into line and passed
`into the square, to witnessthe explosion of the last
grand piece of five works. - The headquarters of the
Keystone club escaped any injury. The likeness of
Heenan was slightly disfigured, a pane or two of
glass were broken In-front of the lager beer saloon
ihe lower story. A short time before the parade
awed at this point Officer Hoss, of the police force,
was' struck on the head with a billy, from behind,
while attempting to preiserve order in front of the
Keystone club snow. It was certainly gratifying
-Ala all ,good citizens to witness the great forbearance
on 'the part of the Union campaigners ; they
believing for a time that one 'of , their number had
been shia, but when -they were satisfied or learned
that thitrwac probably a mistake, order was at once
restored. The Parade of the Opposition, on the
Saturday eveninic ureviona; though having quite a
number of sensational and, incendiary devices, and
though many of the puvticipants made use of lan
guage thatrefiected no eredit on their morals, or
loyalty, or common sense, yetthat procession passed
through our streets, and though -it met with only a
few cheers, yet no person undignified himself so
much as to even give it a single groan. The Unioa
companies are organized for parade every now and
then until the Presidential contest is over. In its
ranks are some of the best men in our community;
men who cherish a profound feeling of respect for
the supremacy of the law, who simply desire the
right to parade, a right which they cheerfully
admit is inherent to the great mass of the commu
nity, and which the opponents to the Union party
may enjoy without molestation. The several attacks
on the Union parade on Saturday night were. in
every way, entirely unjustifiable. - •
GREAT NATIONAL UNION DEMONSTRATION'
AT THE BLUE BELL.
On Saturday evening the romantic _ village of
Pasehalville, was southern part of heTwenty
fourth ward,the scene of great Union re-
I picing, on the occasion of a Lincoln, Johnson,
Union, and Liberty meeting. The campaign club
of West Philadelphia proceeded in the cars to the
Summit House Hospital, where they were met by
an efficient brass band. The line was formed, and,
with transparencies aloft and Rags flying in the
genial breeze, the procession moved to the music of
the campaign tune, "Rally 'round the flag, boys."
There were a large number of people at the place
of meeting. They had come from the distanoe
of miles in the surrounding country. The mingling
cheers between the people already thus assembled 4
and the approaching club, awakened many a pa.
triotic echo from the vales and woodlands of that
rural section. The scene was thrilling, and, en
tirely satisfactory to all the participants. A num.
her of soldiers were present, among whom the
greatest enthusiasm prevailed. The stand was
graced by the presence of ladies. The band having
performed a number of appropriate airs, the meet
ing was called to order, A. M. Eastwiok, .Esq.,
being chosen as president.
Charles E. Lox, Esq., late City Solicitor, delivered
an excellent speech, outing which he was frequent.

Thos. DE. Coleman, Esq., was the second
delivery,
during
address occupied about half an hour in delivery,
during which he was frequently applauded.
The Hon. W. D. Kelley followed Kr. Coleman,
and the audience, the largest ever met in tha.
place, was awakened to the highest degree of enthu- .
sfasm. .
E. Spencer Miller, Esq., also raised his voice In
behalf of the Union , during which he elicited
rounds of applause. The meeting "was a decided
success. At a seasonable hour an adjournment took
place, and the happy Unionists separated and started
for their respective homes.
