/ads of ITT 9, the Peace party of ue Wai , ,/5 to tliat which now de mands that'-ime honor of the country be surrendered is notorious. It is well known, too, that the appeal of Benedict Arnold to the Americans, asking them to imitate his treason, and assuring them that the Revolution was '“a disastrous failure,” has been read at Copperhead meetings this fall, as a campaign document, and loudly applauded. When the name of the au thor was read, these people must have been surprised to find that the familiar argument of their leaders originated with the first Great Traitor of America. It is known, 100, that Washington himself was bitterly opposed during the whole Revolu tion by men who preferred party to the country, and that throughout his eight years of Presidentiallife he was abused as a public enemy. This record of parti san hatred might” be studied with advan tage. Let those who daily read with a grim satisfaction that Abraham Lincoln is a usurper, despot, traitor, reflect a little when they find how the Copperhead news papers of 1779 attacked George Washing ton. The following letter was published in the Aurora newspaper of this city; on the 4th of March, 1779, the day on which 'Washington retired from the Presidency. The original paper is preserved in the Phi ladelphia Library: [From a Correspondent. ] " Lora, now lettest thou thy Servant depart In pcaoe, for mine eyes have seen thy salvation,” was the pious ejaculation of a man who beheld a flood Of happiness rushing in upon mankind. If ever there was a time that would license the reiteration of the . exclamation, that time is now arrived, for the nan who is the source or all the misfortune of our country is this day reduced to a level with his fellow-citizens, and is no longer possessed of power to multiply evils upon the United States. : If ever there was a period for rejoicing, this is the moment. Every heart in unison with the ffSedom and hap piness of the people ought to leap high with exul tation that the name of Washington from this day ceases to give a currency to political Iniquity and to legalize corruption. A new eia is now opening upon us—an era which promises much to the peo ple, for public measures must now stand upon their own merits, and nefarious projects can no longer be supported by a name. When a retro spect is taken of the Washingtonian Administration for eight years it is a matter of greatest astonish ment that a single individual should hare cankered the principles of republicanism in an enlightened people, and should have carried his designs against the public liberty so far as to have put Into jeopardy Its very existence. Such, however, are the facts. And with these staring us in the face,' this day ought to he a jubilee In the United States.. ' Washington had saved the country•* Mr. Lincoln is trying to save it. The Copper heads of 1779 had this palliation of their offence, that the country was not endan gered by it. But there is no excuse for those of 1864. They thwart their Govern ment while it is attacked by armed foes ; they join with rebels in slandering the President, when the very fact that he is hated by traitors should gain him the sup port of all others.- They do a dangerous work, and; if the Union is finally ever de stroyed, the Y ALLAN DIGIT AMS, PENDLE TONS, and Woods will share with Davis, Lee, and Benjamin the eternal ignominy •of the deed. Mb. Pendleton’s Pettifogging.— The Democratic candidate for the Vice Presi dency grows insignificant with making such a subterfuge as that contained in his recent speech in New York. Here foliows the Pendleton’s method of dodging the truth, as given, with a mistake of dates, in .a Union publication : - “On the seventh page of that pamphlet,l am charged withhavtog voted against certain resolu tions on the 7th July, 1864. Now, gentlemen, If any of yon will examine the Globe, or the file of any dally newspaper of your city, or will even tax your -recollection, you will find that Congress adjourned on the 4th day of July, 1864. [Great laughter.] From this specimen of fraud and forgery, I leave you to judge of the credibility of the whole fabrication. [Laughter and applause ]” Precious piece of pettifoggery—and this from a so-called statesman and Democratic candidate for the Vice Presidency! Mr. Pendleton did vote against the resolu tions in favor of the soldiers, on the 7th of January , 1804, so that the error in ques tion is nothing but a misprint of dates. The case is well illustrated by Mr. Theo dore Tilton, of New York : “You con-, front a man in the street, saying: ‘ Sir, I "heard you say yesterday that you stabWd your mother V 1 It’s a fraud and forgery,’ he replies; ‘ I did it day before yester day.’ ” Mr. Pendleton’s speech furaislies a fair index of his honesty and ability. “So lielpme, God,” said Mr. Pendleton to a delegate at Chicago, “I will do all I can to heat General McClellan.” Let this con trast with the forced marches which, in all his late letters and speeches, this, foe of the North has been making to join the peace ful warrior. ;. , Rumob has it that the treasonable speech ■of Judge Black is to be printed in pam phlet form. We hope so—if not by his party, by ours. It will powerfully aid in the election of Lincoln and Johnson, for It will serve most incontestibly to establish the complicity of the so-called Democratic leaders with the rebellion. By all means, then, let the black speech have‘the widest possible circulation. Print it in tbe news papers, in book form, and as a pamphlet; place it in eyery household; drop it in stores, offices, counting-houses, saloons; circulate it in the army and navy ; • scatter It thickly as the leaves of Valambrosa on the hill-tops and in the valleys. If you please, sow the earth with it three feet deep, and let “ all the world and the rest of mankind ” see what worse than satanic treason is uttered by the Copperhead ora tors. ; If we may judge by the Boston jour nals of all parties, the late visit of Mr. Daniel Dougherty to that, city aroused no ordinary excitement.' Mr, Dougherty never leaves his hearers in ignorance of his opinions, and is in the habit of speak ing energetically of both men and mea sures. It is no wonder that his speech alarmed the Opposition papers, and called forth the enthusiasm of loyal people. The Herald thus alliides to it: 11 The old ‘ Cradle of Liberty’ never rooked more enthusiastically to the ‘muslo of the Union’ than jlast evening, on the occasion of the address of Da niel Dougherty, Esq., of Philadelphia, on the is sues now before the American people. “ The audience was Immense, and was frequently carried to the highest pitch of enthusiasm by the In tensely eloquent and loyal address of the already admired and distinguished orator who delivered It- The speech was lengthy, logical, comprehensive, eloquent, and of the most absorbing interest, and it seemed the general opinion that it could hardly be excelled. We regret that space will admit of on ly a brief abstract, as the remarks were well deserv ing of a verbatim report.” Mr. Dougherty will soon give his elo •quence and ability to the service of his >own State, and renew those efforts which already have influenced and advanced our -canvass. Appeal to Merchants.—Alderman Mc 'Mullin, of that classic locality, the Fourth ward, has issued a call for a McClellan meeting, to be held in Independence Square, and appeals, among ethers, to the .merchants of Philadelphia to attend. The' long and intimate identification of that dis tinguished, individual .(we mean the Aider man) with our mercantile community, will no doubt secure a' uni yersal response! ' What Philadelphia merchant, indeed, will refuse to buckle on his armor for McClel lan when summoned thereto by Alderman MoMullin, of the Fourth ward ? John Randolph of Roanoke once ex claimed in Congress, after the duty on wool had been .discussed for many weeks': “Mr. Speaker, I am so sick of the word • woolj that I would consent to travel three uiwtes out of my way to kick a sheep." Taking his recent speech as data, we con clude that Judge Jeremiah S. Black w ould walk tw ice that distance to be allowed to kick a negro.

Baltimore, Oct. 28.—The military commission to-day resumed its investigation of the frauds In the vote of New York soldiers. Donohue was brought into court at about ton o’clock. He had no counsel, but prooeodod in his own behalf to objeot to the jurisdiction of the court. The prisoner pleaded guilty of his having signed certain blanks with the name of C, S. Arthur, Capt. and A. A. Or'., and none others ; and, as it did not appear that he was an officer of the State of New York, or of the United States, there was, he con tended, no crime committed. ~ JITBISBICTIOJf OP THE COURT. The Judge Advocate said the prisoner first wishes to object to tho jurisdiction of the court, on the ground that the offence charged is one that should be tried, not by a military, but hy a civil court. In the second place, pleading to merits, he pleads gnilty of having signed certain blanks mentioned in the act referred to in the name of C, G. Arthur, captain and assistant adjutant general, but that he is not guilty of having signed any other officer’s or private’s name. He claims that this signing, not having specified the regiment of the officer, and it not appearing that there was any officer of that name in the volunteer service of the State of New York, did not. constitute a crime, and that such votes were on their, face illegal, and could not be received. It is but fair to state that the Govern ment claims that the accused has forgeid the names of soldiers, and of other officers, specifying the regi ments. It will be, therefore, necessary for the said Government to go into proof for that point, The President said the Court would decide first the question of jurisdiction. Judge Advocate Foster. In my opinion the Court has jurisdiction of the base, for the reason that the crime as alleged was committed by personating sol diers now in the volunteer service of the United States, and signing their names to election blanks for the purpose of defrauding soldiers of their votes. The offence is not one against the, State of New York. To constitute a crime against the State of New York the offence must be committed within that State. This crime was committed in the State of Maryland. If the ; State of New York were to attempt to punish it, it would.notbe known In what court to try the prisoner. The crime was hot capimitted in that State, and consequently the State of New York would have no jurisdiction. On the other hand, It is not a crime against the State of Maryland. It is neither the common-law crime of forgery, which requires that it should be for the sake of gaining money, nor Is it a statutory crime In Maryland. It is notacrlme against the civil laws ;of the United States. It is not a common-law forgery in the United States. Hence, if a military court has no power to try the case, it cannot be tried at all. The act of the State' 5 ot New York; entitled “an act to enable qualified electors of that State, absent therefrom, and In the service of the United'States, In the army or navy, to vote,” is only intended to be a law in time of actual war, when quael-milltary law Is the law of the land. . " This crime goes directly to the efficacy of the ser vice. The deprivation of a soldier of his right to vote, and the knowledge that he was defrauded of if, would have ’a demoralizing effect; If his false vote is received at the polls, his true vote, when presented afterwards, will be rejected. The very foundation of the Government which guards the rights of the citizens as electors is by that act at tacked, and the only mode in which the offence can be punished is by the military authorities. . The offence is, to a great extent, a violation of Geperal Order No 265, which commands officers to take measures to secure the freedom and. fairness of the election, and to see that it should be conducted . with ciue regaril to good order and military disci pline. Whai can be a greater attack on good order and military discipline than this 1 The court decided that it had jurisdiction In the case, and Mr. Orville K. Wood, o( Clinton county.

New York, was sworn on the part of the Govern ment, and testified in substance as follows: • THE DETECTION OP FERRY—WOOD’S TESTIMONY. at West Ghasey, Clinton county, New York; is a merchant; and came to Baltimore as ' agent of the Union Committee of his county to as sist in procuring the soldiers’ votes in this city; visited 1 ort McHenry, and there met Captain Mc- Dermott, of the 91st New York Regiment, and several toldlers from Clinton county; stopped there two or three davs; in conversation with- Captain McDermott in relation to the voting of soldiers, he replied that there had been some “chicken playing,” and his suspicions were aroused; also -visited the University Hospital, and. from what he heard there, suspected that -something was wrong; went to the office of the State agency, No. 85 west Fayette street, and there met Mr. Ferry; asked him how things were getting along, giving him tcumderstand that he (Wood) be longed to the McClellan party; Ferry desired to know If he had a commission from Governor Sey mour; he told him that he had not, but he represented his county committee; Ferry de ls ire d to Bee his commission, but he said he had none, but he had a list ;oi soldiers of his county, which appeared to satisfy Ferry; told Ferry that he came to Baltimore to got the vote'of the 91st New York; was Informed that it had been taken; McClellan reoeived lour hundred votes and Lincoln eleven; he expressed-surprise at the small number of Lincoln votes polled, when Ferry said that when the Union votes came into that office they were all right, but when they went out that they were doing more here than he thought of. The accused objeoted—that it was he and not Mr, Ferry who was on trial. The Judge Advooate replied, you and Ferry are jointly tried. Accused, I am here on trial and Mr. Ferry is not, and X submit to the court that I Bhould not be held responsible for the acts of another. The President said the accused had aright to object. The Judge Advocate said acts and admissions of one conspirator bound the others, provided there was proof of a conspiracy. The Judge Advocate then addressed the court as follows: ADDRESS OP THE JUDGE ADVOCATE—HIS OPINION OP THE NEW YORK CENTRAL RAILROAD COM . PANT. It appears in this case that the defendant, Ed ward Donohue, Jr., a young man connected with the' New York Central-Railroad—a road to those who live In the city of New York almost synony mous wjth treason—has for the past two or three weeks been engaged in one of the most gigantic frauds ever attempted to bo perpetrated on this na tion—a fraud which, if it shall bo successful, will, In my opinion, have produced a disruption of our entire Country,' and our war for the preservation oi the Union will be practically at anend, and useless. It appears from the evidence of the two witnesses produced before you, that on one occasion, when a Republican, who happened to hoar something that was said by one of the State agents of the State of New York, that frauds wore being perpetrated, went to the office of the State agent in this city, he found him willing (And ready to make false votes, and prudently representing himself as one of. the party they were working: for, ingratiated himself into their confidence, and was allowed to see the working of their party. It appears that the regular blanks for soldiers are' forged, the names of the officers who are purporting to swear the soldiers are written out by one party, the names of the soldiers who oast this vote, by an other, and still a third one, who fills up the blanks. These are then left either sealed or unsealed, with the electoral ticket of the party which they repre sent, and as the first witness testified to you, several dry goods boctes full of Buck votes have already left the city of Washington. ' , At that time It will be borne in mind that Edward Donohue- waß in Washington. He came to this city.; How is this statement as compared with his accomplice, Edward Newcomb, and with that of the first witness, Mr. Ward 1 Was it they who induced him to commit this fraud, or did he induce them 1 Does Newcomb say that Ward asked him, or .was it Donohue who asked him to write these letters 1 ’ He found Donohue in full blast, writing as fast as he could; sometimes the name of a soldier and some times of an officer; sometimes giving one rank and sometimes another; the other one filling up their names,'and still a third one the full blank.; Thus,, the persons around this table, in the course of Sun day afternoon, filled up to the number of nearly a hundred; and, if three persons could in one after noon manufacture some one or two hundred such fraudulent votes, what could not twenty men simi larly employed for two weeks effect] The enormity of the fraud was appalling. The Judge Advocate continued by dwelling upon the heinousness of the offence. “Here,” ho said, “ was a fraud that might well call for the infliction of tho severest penalty known to the court. The most sa cred right of the brave men who are absent from their homes, perilling their lives in the face of tho enemy to uphold our liberties, is invaded, and the votes are fraudulently sought to be given against the cause for which they have been perilling their lives. Whilst absent in the -field, these plotters at home seek to cast the ballots of these brave men without their consent, and whilst they cannot be present to speak for themselves, or defend their rights. This prisoner; who, though one of a nu merous-family of children, cannot show that he has even one brother in the field, upholding the flag of Ms country, is here proven to have corresponded with others to defraud our brave soldiers of their exercise of the sacred elective franchise. A crime so enormous as this calls for vigorous punishment, and he hesitated not to say it merited the extreme penalty of death.” . CONDUCT OF THE PRISONER. During Its delivery the prisoner was evidently more than ever Impressed with a sense of Ms cri tical position, and at the conclusion of the Judge Advocate’s address, left the court In charge of the guard in a manner strikingly in contrast with the hold and defiant air with wMch he entered it in the morning. ; . - The court room was now cleared, and the com mission proceeded to deliberate upon the case.. Of course, Its decision cannot be known until after it has been passed upon by the President. ' The com mission were only about half an hour coming to their decision, when the doors were reopened and the court adjourned. - A New Rebel Plot.

Witcher’s gang of rebel freebooters, numbering, acoordftg to the statement of prisoners, 425 men, made an attack on Winfield before daylight this morning. Oni company of the 7th West Virginia Cavalry, Captain’ Reynolds, numbering 75 men, entrenched, were waiting for Col. Witcher. The rebels made three desperate charges, and were each time handsomely repulsed, with considerable loss. The notorious guerilla, Phil. Thurman, who has boon a terror to the people of West Virginia, fell into our hands mortally wounded, and has since died.- A brother of Thurman’s, equally as desperate, Is in our hands a prisoner. Our loss is one man missing. Oar cavalry aro in hot pursuit of Witcher, and his chances for escape are slim. This immense gun, which has been mounted at Fort Hamilton, waß subj eoted on Wednesday to a trial which resulted most satisfactorily. The di mansions of the piece are as follows: Weight, 116,407 pounda; length, 20 feet 3 Inches; diameter at breech, fi feet 4 inches; diameter at muzzle, 2 feet 10 inches; bore, ’2o inches. This cannon, the first of its kind, was cast at the Foit Pitt Foundry, Pittsburg, on the 11th of Feb ruary last. The amount of metal used was 160,000 pounds. It was melted in three furnaces, and the time occupied in cooling was two weeks. With a charge of one hundred pounds it throws a solid shot weighing one thousand and eighty pounds. The gun was discharged three times—once with • blank cartridge, and twice with half-ton shot—and the test was so far successful as to establish the power of the piece to carry the immense weight - of metal its calibre requires.' The experiments were made under the direction of Major .T. T. Kodman, the inventor. Many army and navy officers .were' also present. Three steamers, loaded with officers and, other persons, including many ladles, wont dawn from this city. It was ascertained, upon in spection, that the vent of the cannon had been filled up by some unknown person, and it was necessary to clean It out. As this was tried in vain from the outsldm Mr, Metcalf, a large, tall man, who had as sisted Tn constructing the gun, volunteered to go Into it. This he did with ease, and, making his way to the'charge-chamber, which was, more than three times his length from the muzzle, he soon opened the vent. When he emerged from the mouth of the gun into daylight again, he was greeted with cheers. The carriage for this monster Is constructed wholly of IroD, and Is tw enty-two' feet long, eight feet eight inches high, and weighs eighteen tons. Tt was made at the Watertown Arsenal, In Massachu setts, and is in two parts. The lower part Is called the chassis, and constitutes the railway on which the upper part or the carriage,'which is like .that oi a mortar, slides alotfg when it receives the'recoil of the gun.. The whole rests upon a granite founda tion, and the forward end of the chassis is fastened to an anchor block or pier, by means of a six-inch bolt, called a pintle. From this jpoint the carriage revolves around-a semi-circular traverse rail on wheels. This rail, and also a support for the middle of the carriage, stand on granite.

DANA AND JOHN BROUGH, GOVERNOR OF OHIO. Last evening the hall was again crowded, bat not so much, however, as the night before. The Setter lee Hospital Band occupied Its usual position in the gallery,; discoursing Ms music before and after'the speaking, and the stage was occupied by many gen* tlemen, members of the "Union League, and others- At about 8 o’clock Blchard H. Dana was; intro duced, and spoke for more than an hour. 'He en tered at length into the consideration of the Chicago platform. Ho said that ho considered the Chicago platform had not been made in that - city, but had been brought there by Vallandigham, who conceived and fashioned it at the Clifton House in Canada,; with the aid of Jefierson Davis, for the benefit of the rebellion. It was easy to Imagine the conversation that took place between the emissaries who repre sented Davis and Vallandigham when they met to. consider the articles that were to make up the De-* mocratie code ol principles. They must have said to him: “ Mr. Vallandigham, you are to present the re sults we came to at Chicago. Well, sir, in the first place,you will not mention Union any where In that ' platlorm 1” , “ No, I never do any where.” [Laughter. ] ’‘.You will not call our act rebellion.” “I never have,” says Mr. Vallandigham. “Youwill never use one word even which will imply your doubt of bur final success?” “ 1 never have, and I never will.” 1 ‘.‘Youwill never find any fault with our treaf mentjof your prisoners 1 You will say that the con dition of your prisoners in our hands is the fault of Lincoln, and not ours 1” “Certainly!” answers Mr. Vallandigham. “[Recollect, if we go back into the Union, that you will allow no monuments, no trophies, no memories of the deeds cf»your soldiers who have fought and fallen In this war, and.that you will especially take ».care that you will not use one word of adulation, of praise of . these soldiers of your army, and you will say that as they have failed, they do- not deserve your sympathy, though they have ours. Now, with an understanding on that,,we will come to the main point. Do not doubt the'value of armistices, nor the right of secession.” a x ; “Certainly;” answers Mr. Vallandigham. “Will you have the kindness to say that you do all this because you have failed; not because It Is just or reasonable, but because you have failed? And, also, that the war is distasteful, because in carrying it on your Constitution has been disregarded In every part) You will please note that It has re sulted in the loss of public liberties and private rights; that justice, humanity, and a regard for the public welfare demand that the war shall cease. Vallandigham premises to obey all these com mands,but suggests; “ But the war has not yet ceased; all the armies are in the field, and between the Ist of September and Bth of November the Northern armies may alter the face of affairs con sideraoly. What am Ito do then ?” “Do your part well; I will do mine,” answers Davis. “At home discourage the people, throw obstacles in the path of the Government, underrate every Union success, magnify ours, and smooth over onr defeats.” w-’YV,:; “Ah 1 trust me for that,” suddenly exclaims Val landigham; “ have I not organized the Sons of Li berty and the" Knights of the Golden Circle ? They have been supplied with large quantities of arms. To throw obstacles In the way .of.the Government Is to overthrow it. Ah M think you can trustthem. We only wait a sweeping .draft or the defeat of the candidate who is nominated In the Convention for which we aro preparing these resolutions to at once array ourselves against the Government.” - Now, Mr. Dana could lmagiie some of the Eng lish bystanders who looked on at this oaucus, say ing: •‘Gentlemen, this is all very well for the rebels, hut how can Mr. Vallandigham prepare such a platform for the Democratic party 7 We English men have heard that the Democratic party was the national party, the party for your country’s safety, the fighting party. How"; can you present such tilth, at Its convention 1” “My friends,” says Vallandigham, “I never could carry these things through if the party was what it was four years ago. [Applause.] I never could get them through the Convention coming if such men . were iil it as Stephen A. Douglas [ap plause], but there are no men like Mm there now. [Laughter.] He was foolish enough to say when the President had called out 75,000 men for the first blow, that it should have been 200,000 [applause], and that there should he but two parties la the country—the party of war and the party of treason. But all Democrats like him have left the party, and between you and I they have left very few good ones like themselved behind. [Laughter.] And those good ones are the ones I would like to keep, ior they have influence, and I must make a platform such as that you have just heard to keep those fel lows,.and not offend the rank and file, who are not Democrats, but sympathlzers-with treason.” Here Mr. Dana would like to break In upon the conversation, and make a few remarks on the good Democrats whom Mr. Vallandigham said had left the party. They were not at the Convention, in Chicago. They were in the field, fighting for the Union; in the forum, pleading for it; everywhere, by voice and vote, supporting law. In the conduct ol the war Mr. Lincoln owed" more than thanks' to the Democrats who: had aided him. In the Cabinet of Buchanan were three loyal men and four traitors. TheEe three, firm in their patrio tism, were Stanton, Dixy and Holt. [Applauss.] 'The patriotic acts of these gentlemen were all . well known to tko eountry. Stanton was Secretary of "War ; Dlx, Im the field or at home, was ready for any call, ajM Holt has already distinguished him self for his exposure of treason In the exposure of the organization of the Sons of Liberty, and in the frauds on our-gallant soldiers in forging thousands of their votes [applause]" for the Chicago nominees, when nine out of ten were against them. [Renewed applause.] But he would pass by tMs and discuss some of the questions and answers of the conversa tion, which could now be supposed to proceed. Mr. Davis continues, saying to vallandigham: “You must hot omit to say; that after three or four? years of war you have failed in all’ yourVefforts to crush us and nullify the dootrine of Secession.” “Oer. tainly, sir,” is the obliging answer. „Mr- Dana would not dwell particularly on the Chicago dootrine of a failure of the war, but he would show the people that they must continue It, and finish It too. when the war began It began because the 1 outh'had set up an empire on the sail of the United States, and asked recognition from the Powers of the earth. When an empire was thus established, ifthe parent State did not Indicate its own strength the new empire would be immedi ately recognized as independent. The South still puts forth this claim to independence. If "we, with the Chicago Convention, agree to an armistice, or a Convention with a' view to the cessation of hostilities, then every Southern port will be opened and all the ground won by our armies abandoned, for both the army, and the navy would be with drawn. Supplies would rush in; and that very Convention, based on an admission that-the war was a failure, would only bring the recognition of the South. McClellan wouid be elected, and whatwould be the result 1 The actors in the con versation would he changed, Davis would stiiX re main, and so would Vallandigham, but hfi wouid speak through McClellan, who would Bay: Y “Now, Mr. Davis, the armistice has been de clared ; you have gathered your supplies through your opened ports ;.you have established your court, and filled It with ambassadors; you are even work ing for foreign recognition. Are you; ready for-that Convention of States 1” - r. Davis would answer : “ Did I agree- or call for a Convention of States 1” “Ob, no!” “ Did you stop-the war especially to convene a Convention of the States 1” • “Well, I don’t know!” “Doyou keep a copy of the Chicago platform by you 1 If you do hot, 1 do. I have the original, you know. [Laughter.]; You declared that you stopped; the war because you had failed! [Applause.] You declared you had stopped the war because tho Oon -stitution had been disregarded In every part. Yoa stopped your war because private rights and the public liberties had.beefi alike trampleddown. You stopped the warbecause' justice; humanity, liberty," and a due regard for the publio welfare demanded ■ It. You stopped; the waft because you were, not • strong enough to fight us, and you declared that to be the sense of the. American people. In,your -election the American people have adopted those sentiments. I am President of this Confederacy, which has been reared up by me. ; I havo formed treaties and alliances, oflenslve and defensive, du ring your arinistibe. I do ' not want your conven tion. lam satisfied with my Confederacy. Why ain’t you .contested with your Unionl” “We only i want you to come into,a OsnveutioiV of the States, where we nan make all things right ; define your rights and protect them, and make the Union over again ” “Whatiorf” ■ - “In what I told you; to reconstruct the American Union. Our Chicago Convention looked.to an ulti mate Convention of the States,which should restore the Union under the Constitution.” “ No; air! You admit .you have failed; Sister nations, foreign nations, have heard that admission, and are acting oh it. I have received ambassadors, and they will soon recognize mo. I am triumphant —tbOcttengthoi the OorJefieracy is tssewstl siacs the cessation of hostilities—why need I listen to any such proposition 7” But Mr. Dana would suppose that they were lis tened tOj and that delegates were.sent to a conven tion. What would the result be 7 If oaths amities of blood and association could'not keep the States In a Union sanctified-by a thousand memories, what could keep delegates in an ordinary convention 1 He continued on this and kindred subjects at length, lucidly and pleasantly, and retired greeted by hearty applause. unexpectedly, at least to us, If not all present, the President of the meeting, in a neat.little speech, In troduced Governor John Brough, of Ohio. The Go-, vernor—of aldermanlc rotundity, and bluff of speech —arose, and advanced to the speaking desk, hailed by a perfect storm; of applause, when this had passed, ,and the turbulent sea of heads had quieted, and the foam of the 'billows—the -waving cam brics—had vanished, the Governor made an effort to speak, but again-a deafening-storm of cheers; and Bhouts, and halloos burst forth. All this must have been very grateful to the Governor, ; who, however, modestly disclaimed the compliment at the opening of his speech, and gave It all to Ohio. We made a full report of the- speech, which lasted for an hour and a half, alternately occasioning great laughter and applause, but the crowded state of our columns compelled us to greatly condense Mr. Dana’s speeoh, and to omit the Governor’s en tirely. I THE CITY. POLITICAL MEETING OF THE RETURN JUDGES—THE SOI.DTERS’ VOTE. The return judges of this city m"et yesterday In the Supreme Court room to count the votes oast by the soldiers at the election on the 11th Inst., Mr. Samuel P, Hancock, president, in the chair.

Tke soldiers’ vote for sheriff, as counted In the pro thonotary’s office, gives a majority of i,544 for Howell. PARADE OF THE DEMOCRACY.

' .'.HIUXABYa ; LIEUT. COLONEL JOHN B. KOHLER. ' The remains of this gallant officer will be Inter red at Glenwood Cemetery on Sunday next. He was killed at the battle of Cedar Creek, In the Shenandoah Valley, on the 19th Instant. At the beginning of the rebellion, when scarce had- the sound of the guns against ForfcSuinpter electrified the Country, he volunteered in "the 21st Pennsylvania Regiment, receiving his commission as captain of Company K. At the expiration of his three months’ service he re-enlisted In the 98th Pennsylvania Volunteers.- Since that period, for his bravery.and good conduct, he gradually ad- ; vanced to the rank heheld at the time of his death. For some time past he had been In the command of a, brigade, and !n every battle In the Valley he won such worthy distinction that he received ho norable and praiseworthy mention, and had he lived he would have taken a high rank. Among bis men he was a general favorite, and wherever he led they wlHlnglyfollowed; he possessed their unbounded love; and confidence. Conscien tious In thedischarge of.every duty,ho shrank from nodaDger,andmaDlfested byhis every word and act that his whole soul was absorbed in the suppression of the rebellion. - It Is such records as these that constitute the heroes of this war, whose names will be handed to posterity and preserved In the archives of history as the brave defenders of the Union and constitu tional liberty.

Sansom-street Hall was well filled, last evening, with an intelligent audience, on the occasion of an address on “ The Issues of the Day’’ by Miss Lizzie Doten, of the State of Massachusetts. This lady has been lecturing In Philadelphia forseveral weeks on the subject of Spiritualism. Last evening, how ever, under the inspiration ol the Goddess or Liberty, a spiritiof Unionism, she delivered a patriotic lec ture, during which she was frequently applauded. She is an earnest, impressive, fluent, and eloquent speaker. After a few preliminary remarks, she said that no true American can remain neutral in a contest such as thatnow before the country, in whleh its fate is involved. She had been a careful and close observer of the events of years. She watched them as they progressed, until they culminated In the overt, act of striking the American flag. She had watched both or all political parties, and admitted that she had taken a firm Btand on the side of that party which had the most principle true American principle—inopposition to any mean and disgraceful compromise with rebels in arms against the constituted authorities of the country. •££ er ?i luai ? ,t to the election of Mr. Lincoln, the difficulties that surrounded him, and the. fast events that crowded upon him, she referred to the -Democratic party, that had witMn it the elements of its own destruction, In the shape of Davis, Floyd, and other traitors to their country. [Applause.] The speaker now summed up the length of time the Democratic party held office from the year 1801, since wMch time 56 years were represented by Demo cratic Presidents and Congressmen, and it was with in three or four years that a prominent Southern Democrat said he would call the roXl.of Ms slaves In the shadow of Bunker Hill. This she contended is being done now, for the roll of the slaves of the Democratic party is being called on Bunker Hill. The Democrats, under the present organization, are the Tories of the presentjtime. [Applause.] That party have lost their Southern coadjutors, and now they oall.on.the very dregs of society to assist them In filling offices with large salaries. When leaders of any political organization go into the gutters and scrape oft the sediment of dirty society; when they can find words of praise for besotted whisky drinkers In times like the present, such men are so utterly corrupt that : they deserve eternal damnation. The speaker now proceeded to show that C. L. Vallandigham, and not George B McClellan, Is the leader of the present Democratic party. A family quarrel has taken place, and thus the eat is out of the bag..... The speaker now read certain cor respondence that has just appeared in public print, in which Vallandigham denies the statement made by certain other parties of the Democratic eonspira tors, that he did not take an active and leading part in framing the.CMcago platform. So deeply 1 Interested is Ulement L. Vallandigham in-this case that, In a manly vindication of himself, he was compelled, to speak the truth. Vallandigham wrote the principal resolution in that platform, and every person of intelligence knows that his heart Is with the South, and that he is an arch traitor* [ Applause.] We can seethe head, horns, hoof, and caudal ap pendage of the enemy; they. are all apparent. [Laughter. and applause.] The speaker now adverted to General George B. McClellan, who wag seldom heard of until other mili tary officers won, victories in Western Virginia; their plumes of victory have been worn by McClel lan. The mightest movement that General ever made was Ms big retreat from Richmond. That was a gallant piece of military work; that was heroie strategy; it reminded the speaker of the dash ing exploit when the King of France, with fifty thousand men, marched up the hill and then marched down again. [Bounds or laughter and applause.] .When the retreat from Richmond became evident, many a soldier who Idol ized Gen. McClellan "sat down and wept like a child, socially, McClellan may be very clever, bat he 3s now In very bad company. He knows, as a military man, that the doctrine incorporated In the Chicago platform is not the kind to save the coun try by maintaining the Union. He knows -this as a military man, and ifhe was a true man—such as an American ought to be—he would be manly enough to come out boldly and say so, and thus disabuse the minds of the people who are being led Into false ways by the false lights of the Democracy. [Applause.] Jeff Davis Is manly when he comes. out boldly and says be strikes for Independence. She could honor Mm for tMs bold avowal. How he differs In this from McClellan, who has not yet taken a position becomnig a man: He is permitting the bard-listed and honest, though uneducated, mem bers of the Democratic party to ho led astray. He should remember the French Revolution, and take warning. Why Is he not manly enough to come out and repudiate the nomination ? Why does he not tell the people that the Democratic party for years always nestled In its bosom Southern Coppar heads.and other venomous vipers, wlffoh at last stung that party to death, at Charleston, In 1869 ? [Great applause.] They have become soeorrupt in morals that they cannot enjoy the victories achieved by the indomitable Grant, the dashing Sheridan, the fearless Sherman, or the heroic Farragut. The Democrats of the present political organi zation know’ that every victory achieved by any of these gallant . heroes is like driv ing a nail in the political coffin of McClellan. [Great applause.] May he live long enough to be come at least an ornament to society as a man. As ■ a politician he is so entirely dead that ha Is beyond resurrection on the Bth day of November;. [Ap plause.]; The speaker now-turned her attention to the Union party, and, in terms of eloquence, showed tlio>t Abraham Xincolntwas the man for the emer gency,and that it was the duty of every man and woman in the country to encourage him in main taining the great principles involved in the contest. She concluded her admirable address in an exhorta tion to the people to never yield a moment to fear; to be true to principle; do noN be led away policy that may make you take a false step ? and never forget that the aristocrats of the South, would make every Democrat of the North yield and'bow to them as slaves. After an apostrophe to'the Star spangled Banner the pleasant and patriotic lecturer retired amid rounds of applause. : MEETING IN THE EIGHTEENTH WARD. A meeting of the contributors to' the Eighteenth ward Bounty Fund was hßld on-Thursday’evenlng last, in the lecture-room of the Kev. Win. T. Eva’s Church, to bear the report of the committee entrust ed with the duty of furnishing the- numberof men required by the President of the'United States under the last call, and clearing the ward from the draft.

She expressed some surprise, Baying that she had given the certificate to a man an hour before, under the impression that he was Mr. Hull. This man did not take the watch. It was handed to complainant. The accused de clared that she was under the impression {hat the other man was the person who had'given her the things for safe-keeping on the night previous. The complainant said “• ha couldn’t see it lu that light,” and, therefore, had the female arrested., The man who did receive the certificate proceeded to Jay Oooke & Co.’s and drew the money. He has not been heard of since. The prisoner was required to enter bail.in the sum of $1,209 to answer at court. ... ; . . . [Before Mr. Alderman Garter. ] FINAL HEARING.

MISCHIEF. A woman, who refused to give any namo, was be fore Alderman Welding yesterday afternoon on a charge of malicious mischief.

She was committed to answer. THE COURTS. Court of Quarter Sessions—Judge Thomp- By the Bth section of the act of ap proved August 22d, 1864, all banks heretofore doing easiness under charters from the Commonwealth, but which may select to avail themselves of the provisions of the national banking law, and to carry on' business under that law, are required, among.other things, to deliver up to the Court of Quarter Sessions all plates and dies heretofore used by them for the printing of their notes, Ac. fo ac cordance with the requirements of the act of As sembly, Samuel Hood, Esq, on behalf of the Com mercial Bank of this olty, yesterday, brought Into court, and so delivered up the plates, &c., of that institution. Charles Stewart, the proprietor of a sailors’ boarding house, 116 Almond street, was tried on two Indictments, yesterday , the one charging him with administering drugged liquors to one Joseph Briggs, with criminal Intent, and the second with ■ having stolen from him $25. From the testimony of Briggs, It appeared that forsome months he had been a teamster in the army, and was discharged at Wash ington on Thursday, the 20th Inst. He came to the city that night, and on Friday morning was accosted at Walnut-street wharf by Stewart-, who soon scraped an acquaintance with him. They had seve ral drinks together, when Stewart, in view or the high bounties being paid, proposed to him to enlist, to which he assented. They proceeded to a recruit ing office, where, upon examination, Briggs, lor some cause, was rejected. Stewart then Invited him to his house. Soon after they reached the house, the prosecutor,having in the meantime taken other drinks at doggeries on the wharf, became Insensible. He remembered nothing further until some time in the night of Friday, when he awoke on board the bark Indian Belle, bound for Martinique, and then some miles down the river. Being confident that he had never shipped, and never having been to sea in his life, and not feeling disposed to go under the circumstances, he', while unobserved;- threw a plank over and jumped Into the river afterlt. After suffer ing greatly,and when almost perlshed,he reached the shore near Billingsport, New Jersey, where, the blood oozing from his ears and nose, he was dis covered and kindly cared for by Mr. Marsh, of that -place, who brought him to the city. He had been robbed of twenty or more dollars, which he had in his pocket when he fell in with Stewart; but in one ofhls pockets was Stewart’s’cards, and: this led to the arrest of the latter, who it seems had also, not dreaming that Brlggs would so soon,turn up, shown forty-fiye dollars, the advance pay which the prose cutor, had he ever shipped at all, would have been entitled to. On behalf of Stewart, It was attempted to show that the prosecutor was at his house on Wednesday and Thursday before the vessel sailed, and that he had actually shipped to go In her under the name of Carr, and that the. whole transaction was fair, open, and bona fide on his part. The jury rendered a verdict of.guilty on both bills. CITY ITEMS. Economy in Housekeeping, No. 2. We some time since called the attention of our leaders to an Improved Cooking Stove, which sifted its own ashes and consumed a small quantity of fuel, compared with the amount of cooking ifcaccom plished. We now call the attention of the more particularly the ladies—to ft still more im portant article of household furniture and utility— 'namely, a Pablos Stove which makes no dust, con sumes a small quantity of coal, and retains the fire for an indefinite period of time, - And as an evidence of these facts we are permitted to publish the subjoined letters, which we doubt not will be read with interest and practical profit by our citizens. We have read the original letters, and may state that ail who feel an interest in the subject can do likewise by calling on Mr. Spear, at Ms warerooms, Nos. 1116 and 1118 Market street. ,We regard them as among the most suggestive and valuable testimonials ever awarded ‘ to a great mechanical Invention. Head them, by all means: • [Letter No. 1.1 No. East Eighty sixth Street, Naw York, October 4,T864. Mr. James Spear: My Dear Sib: Having for two winters enjoyed the pleasyre of usin 6 your admirable * ! Gas-burning, Smoke, consuming, Anti-Dust Parlor Stove,” in Shanghae, China, (procured through Miss Gono verj) I cannot rest satisfied until I can obtain another of the same pattern for nse in this country. Thus far my efforts have been unsuccessful, al though I spared no. pains to procure-one in New York during the last winter.. Being disappointed in finding them in this city, and not wishing the delay of writing to Philadel phia, I was Induced to' try a pattern such as Is In use here, and that I was assured “ was as good a gas-burner as could bo made,” \ ' I found it so far inferior to your stove, however, in the consumption oi larger quantities of coal, dust, litter, and trouble of using it. that after a few weeks’ use, on giving up my room, I gave it away, that I might supply myseli with one or your stoves instead. And here allow me to suggest that If you kept a supply, of them here, or would make them better known by advertising in the New York papers, it would be a benefit to the public. , Many of my friends to whom I have mentioned them have expressed a desire to obtain onet or a wish to see one in use, to test their merits, which at present they cannot do. , - In Shanghae, the two brought out by Miss Cono ver made quite a revolution £n fires, and, instead of shivering over English grates in. our large, open rooms, depending on fur or wadded garments for warmth, we found your stoves brought with them the most delightful warmth and comfort, and that wherever used they introduced, almost without care from-us, the genial atmosphere of May. I will be obliged if yon will send me a ten-inch stovb; with all the latest Improvements, I have not enclosed the money, as I do not know your present prices; nor am I certain about your number, but I will do so as soon as I hear from you. Believe me, my dear sir, yours very truly, ' M. D.

If yon make the same arrangements with the express man, they will pay here, or will send the moneyon, as yon may desire, but they would prefer paying the express man.

The Latest and Best.—We were mistaken In supposing that that admirable instrument of house hold Industry and economy (the sewing machine) had been brought to a state of perfection before the advent of the Florence. But since witnessing the operations of that truly wonderful machine we have no hesitation In pronouncing the Florence, beyond comparison, the best fanSy machine ever offered to the public, inasmuch as it not only overcomes all the objections of what have been heretofore con sidered first-class machines, but surpasses its prede cessors in every point of excellence. Doing all the old ones ever oould do, with greater baseband pos sessing Improvements that none others in exist ence can approach, for the benefit of our readers we will mention some of the many advantages of the Florence: - . First, It has a untform and seif-regulating tension of thread, and guides the work Itself.' . - ' Sectkid. It' has the reversable feed motion, and fastens off Its own ends of seams, thereby saving much hand labor. - Third. It makes four separate and dlstinot stitches, enabling the operator to select and adapt the stitch to the fabric to be sewed.' • Fourth. Each stitch presen ts the same-appearance on either side of the fabric.. Changes from'one kind of a stitch to another are made without ; stopping the machine.. Fifth. It Is free from the objections of boing com plicated, and Is so entirely simple in its mechanical construction that a child ban understand and ope rate it 'with ease. , Sixth, There are no springs to get out of order; all Its motions being positive, it will last a lifetime. ■ Seventhl. lt sewß with the greatest facility all kinds of family work; from the finest to the coarsest, and uses all . binds of silk and thread, from No. 20 to No. 200, without breaking or skipping stitches. Eighth. The machine Itself, as well as the work it performs; presents a more beautiful appearance than any of Its rivals, which Is a point to be con sidered. ' _ ; : ; Ninth. The Florence being perfect in its me chanical construction, and possessing so many ad vantages over all others, Is warranted to give entire satisfaction, or money refunded; so that purchasers run not the slightest risk in buying. It is worth a visit to the salesrooms of the‘Florence, 630 Chest nut street,-to see these wonderful machines In ope ration ; and we recommend our readers to avail themselves of the opportunity before purchasing other machines, feeling confident that they will thank us for the advice.
