NAPOLEON AT ABENEIIA
There would appear to be signii
almost every public action of the
able man, CHARLES LOUIS NAP(
N.ArARTE " Emperor by the gri
and the will of the French peoph
monarchs do things in the mom
place manner. The Emperor
and the King of Prussia meet at the castle
of Salzburg, some hundred and fifty miles
south of Vienna, and there complete,
without formality or ostentation, the
arrangements for severally appropriat- -
ing the Danish provinces of Holstein
and Schleswig, which their respective
Prime Ministers, Count BwitrE and Mr.
IVAN BISMARCK, had previously arranged
for at Gastein. The Queen of Spain
travels about as a sort of royal incognita,
her chief anxiety being that her carriage
shall be roomy—(her Majesty is exceed
ingly plump, not to say actually obese)
and that her meals shall be regular and
abundant. VICTOR EMMANUEL flits through
Italy, like an ignis fatly; a royal will-o%
the-wisp, who is one day at Genoa, is next
heard from at Turin, thence is reported as

eierformances in the chase and field, sud
denly appears" among the dazzaroni o
Naples, and before one has well realized
that he is there, turns up again in Florence
Or Turin. Queen VICTORIA, who still
nurses her grief as a widow, attracts little
attention when she files off to Coburg to
inaueurate the hundredth statue of Prince
ALBERT, presented by herself to that small
capital of a small State, and paid for by
subscriptions frOm each and every of
• her sons and daughters—which is an eco
nomic plan, at all events. But the Emperor
NAPOLEON cannot take his wife on a visit
to n little town in Switzerland without all
Europe involuntarily becoming excited by
the recollection of the circumstances under
which he last trod its narrow streets, and the
particular reasons which inevitably have
mane him attached to the place.
The foreign journals inform us that NA
roLEox, accompanied by Eueeme., paid a
visit of a few days to Areneuberg, last
month. In the castle there, on the shore
of Lake Constance, many of NAPOLEON'S
early years were passed. There he edu
cated himself. There his mother, Queen
HolannsE died, and, in this chapel of the
castle, his filial piety erected her statue.
The first thing he did when he went to
Arenenberg was to visit this chapel—and
breathe a silent prayer before the sculptured
resemblance of his mother—the only human
being, it is said, for whom he ever cherished
that full sentiment of affection which, pure
and perfected, bears the name of Love.
That man, with iron hand and heart of
stone, is believed to have loved his mother
with the tenderest affection. In the Sahara
of his remarkable career, this is the one
green spot—the solitary oasis.
Many of the old inhabitants of Arenen
bere recollected, in the bronzed Emperor, -
the pale, thin, unemotional young man
who, more than a quarter of a century ago,
had returned from his exile in the "United
States to receive the last blessing and latest
breath of that mother who, whatever her
faults, very tenderly loved him, and, it. is "
said, died, as she had lived, in the full be
lief that he would one day sit upon the
throne of France. As he sat, on a gloomy
day, early in October, 1837, by her death
bed, what tumultuous thoughts must have
filled his saddened mind. He had been left
"With none to love him, none whom he could
love,"
and, thenceforth, Ambition was in his heart
what Affection is to other men. Thence
forth his aim was to restore the Napoleon
dynasty, and he succeeded. No one
can deny that he has had the crown.
NAPOLEON really is an actor who is never
Off the scene ; on his life-drama the curtain
can never drop until the allotted hour
comes for him, as it comes for every de
scendant of ADAM Conjectures are cer
tain to be made upon his most ordbrary
action—conjectures which sometimes give
little credit to his head or heart. But,
singular to say, no one has attempted to
reflect upon his visit to Switserland. All
men who rise to prosperity or eminence
from an humble commencement, return.,
sooner or later, to the place where their
youth had been passed; where their hearts
had been trained for the action which
finally had mastered Fate or won Fame,
Or, it may be, conquered Fortune. In re
visiting Arenenberg, last month, NAPOLEON,
While seemingly acting on his own will, was
really obeying an imperative moral law.
As we have said, his . pilgrim feet first
turned to the little chapel which contains
the marble statue of his mother, HORTENSE..
EUGENIE BEAUDARNAIS, only daughter of
the Empress Jos.upittNE, and who haff her
self, for a time, worn the crown as Queen
consortof Holland. While this beautiful
and unfortunate vostiian lived scandal was
busy with her fame (scandal declared that
none of her husband's blood ran in the
veins of either of her sons) ; scandal bas
not BPillv4l her in the grave, but, whatever
her faults as a wife, (anet wno a., east the
first stone at her ?) she was a loving, tender,
faithful mother; nor will Humanity think
less of the man who so long fought against
the World, and who - won the battle of life,
because they find him, at the climax of his
prospefity, when he is virtually Autocrat of
EllTope, still fondly cherishing the memory
of the mother who loved him so very dearly.
When his mother died NAPOLEON was
an almost nameless exile, the scorn of men,
for he had failed in his hasty and ill-arranged
attempt at Strasburg, had experienced the
supercilious clemency of Lours PHILIPPE,
and had returned without permission from
the exile to which that crafty Citizen-
King had doomed him. When he returned
to Arenenberg, the other day, he was
Lord of the Tuileries and Versailles and
Fontainbleau, recognized representative of
the 'Bourbon monarehy and th e N a p o :
leoniC empire, - conqueror of Russia in the
Crimea, victor of Solferino, founder of the
Kingdom of Italy, trusted ally of England,
" arbitrator of Europe. This man - was more
far-seeing than people believed. When his
mother died, in 1837, he was in his thirtieth
year—had thought; read, and written
Much—had seen many countries and their
inhabitants. He alone knew how weak
Were the obstacles which impeded the path:
to his uncle's throne, and he must have
been conscious of the greatness of that in
nate strength, that all-compelling will, on
which he trusted for success, and trusted
not in vain.
At the Champ de Mars, held at Paris on
the eve of Waterloo, this NAPOLEON, then
only six years old, was presented to the
army by the returned Emperor, as the
proxy of the young King of Rome, the true
heir, who was absent with his mother, that
fair and faithless Austrian, thenin Vienna:

The New York. Walden Nominptions.
The following is the correct ticket of the
Union party of New York, nominated at Syra
cuse on Wednesday:
Secretary of State—General Francis C. DIN

Controller—Thomite 11.11i11119USe t Of ()aerie.

Judges of Court of Appeals—Ward Hunt, of :
Oneida; John H. Porter, of Albany.
None of the present officials were renotaL
Hated, and it will be seen that four soldiers of
distinction were placed upon the ticket. The:
candidate for Secretary of State, General Bar
low, was a young lawyer at the commencement
of the war who conceived it to be his duty to
enlist as a private in one of the New York re.
giments. He soon gave such evidence of being.
a good soldier that he was promoted to lieu
tenant, then to captain, and the conclusion of .
the siege of Yorktown found him "wearing
the eagle." In the Peninsula campaign he was
wounded twice, and at Antietam, after captur.
ing two stands of colors and several hundred
prisoners, he received two more wounds, and
was left for dead on the field. Becovering,he.
was made a brigadier general, and at Gettys .
burg he again did gallant service, but urt,
fortunately he was once more struck down
by the TOMB. In Grant's campaign he ,
commanded the Ist division of the 2d. corps,
and in that position led the famous charge at
Spottaylvania Court House, capturing General
Edward Johnston's whole division of the rebel
army. At the closing campaign around Pe
tersburg General Barlow was so conspicuous
for gallantry and skill that lie was promoted
to a major generalship. During - all the time
he was in the field his young and lovely wife was
nursing the sick and wounded in the hospitals
of Tirginia, and the writer of this wellremem
bers thesufferings she witnessed and alleviated
at Fredericksburg during the Wilderness cam
paign. The sight there was enough to make
a strong man quail, but she went through it
all, and many a brave boy owes to her his life.
Whilst engaged in the same holy work at a
later period she took a fever, from which she
died. General Barlow truly gave his share to
wards suppressing the rebellion, and it re.
mains for the people of New York to show
their appreciation of this gallant soldier.
The es.ndidate for Inspector of State Pri
sons, Gen. 'Barnum, was also a gallant soldier,
who was wounded at Malvern Hill. He after

and was the first man to enter Savannah.

THE IMPORTANCE OF THE COMING
CAMPAIGN. *.
THE maims INVOLVED, AND THE
WAY TO BIZET THEN.
TO TUE PEOPLE OF .PENNSYLVANIA.
Far.zow-oiTizzas : In a short time you will
again be called upon to exercise the highest
privilege, and. perform one of the most sacred
duties of freemen. One year ago our State was
deeply agitated by a conflict of opinion which
was emphatically and unmistakably settled
at the ballot-box. Then the public mind was
thoroughly aroused by the warmth and ability
Of the eoate:it. On both sides were arrayed
men who earnestly and perhaps, in most
cases, sincerely, endeavored. to persuade their
fellow-citizens that the triumph of their Wawa
was indispensable to the welfare and prospe
rity of the State, the peace and enjoyment of
thepeople, and the duration and Life of the
nation. After a long, well-contested and tho
rough canvass, the people of Pennsylvania, by
More than twenty thousand, and the people of
the nation, by more than four hundred thou
sand majority, rendered their verdict. The
lines were plainly drawn, and the issue
clearly and fully made up. It is impossible.
for any one to be mistaken as to the character
of the trial, or the nature of the verdict. The
administration of Abraham Lincoln was on
trial. The American people were the jurors.
The contest was waged by his friends, under
most inauspicious circumstances, and in the
midst of unparalleled difficulties and trials.
No event, in the history of the human race,
was so well calculated to test fully and com
pletely the capacity of man for self-govern
ment. The people were called upon, volun
tarily, to tax themselves for the payment of
an immense, and daily increasing debt. They
were asked to furnish more men for the army ;
and on the very eve of the election, President
Lincoln proceeded to enforce a draft to fill up
the army at all hazards, preferring the sup.
pression of the rebellion and the life of the Re
public, to his own success at the polls, an
examike of disinterested patriotism and of
heroic action, never surpassed by any ruler
named in history.
The people of the United Statesproved them
selves worthy of such a ruler. Animated by
a lofty patriotism, rising above all considera
tions of selfishness, and having resolved upon
their knees and in their closets that the noble,
old licimlll,lp.of our fathers should not perish ;
-
the Tyrants and . arT4E6 l 6iiith.4eBf
kings of the earth, armed traitors in the South,
their sympathizers in the North, and all the
enemies of human liberty everywhere, they
heroically and courageously recorded their
verdict at the ballot-box. Both parties went
into the contest with their principles plainly
inscribed upon their banners, and it is impos
sible to suppose that the people did not un
derstand the nature, extent, and true charac
ter of the issues which they were trying.
The Union Convention at Baltimore, which
nominated Lincoln and Johnson, declared as
follows
have been
. .
Besotted, That it is the highest duty of every Ame
rican citizen to maintain against all their enemies
the Integrity of the Union. and the r1311113101112t an
thorny of the Constitution and the lairs of the
United States: and that,laying aside all differences
of political opinion, we pledge ourselves as Union
men, animated by a common sentiment, and aim
ing at a common object, to do everything in our
power to aid the Government in quelling, by force
of arias, the rebellion now raging against Its an
t iority, and in bringing to the punishment doe to
their crimes, the rebels and traitors arrayed
against it.
•
Resolved, That we approve the determination of
the aovernment of the. United States not to com
promise with rebels, nor to offer any terms of
peace except such as may be based upon an ~ un
conditiona surrender" of their hoetility, and a re
turn to their just allegiance to the Constitution and
laws of the United States, and that we call upon
the Government to maintain this position and to
prosecute the war 'with the utmost possible vigor to
the complete suppression of the rebellion, in full
reliance upon the self-sacrifice, the patriotism, the
heroic u-slor, and the undying devotion of the Ame
rican people to their country and its free Institu
tions.
Resolved, That as slavery was the cause, and now
constitutes the strength, of this rebellion, and as it
Must be always and everywhere hostile to the prtn
elples of republican government, NOUN NW Ole
national safety demands Its utter and complete ex
tirpation from the soil of the Republic; and that we
uphold and maintain the acts and proclamations by
Which the C4overnment, - in its, own defence, has
aimed a death-blow at this gigantic evil. We are in
favor, furthermore. of such an amendment to the
Constitution, to be made by the people, in con
formity with its provisions, as shall terminate, and
forever prohibit, the existence of slavery within
the limits of the j turisdietion of the United States.
Resolved, That we approve and applaud the prac
tical wisdom, the unselfish patriotism, and unswerv
ing fidelity to the Constitution and the principles of
American liberty with which Abraham Lincoln has
discharged, under circumstances of unparalleled
difaculty,the great duties and responsibilities of the
presidential office; that we approve and endorse,as
demanded by the emergency and essential to the
preservation of ,the nation, and as within the Con
stitution the measures and acts Whleli he has adopt
ed to defend the nation against its open and secret
foes; that we approve especially the proclamation
of emancipation, and the employment as Union sol
diers of men heretofore held in slavery: and that we
have full confidence In his determination to carry
these and all oilier constitutional measures essen
tial to the salvation of the country Into full and com
plete effect.
In opposition to the views and principles
thus announced, the representatives of the
party in opposition to the Administration
met at Chicago, nominated McClellan and
Pendleton, and erected a platform which,
among other things, contained the following:
Resolved, That thisconvention does explicitly de
clare, as the sense of the American people, that
after four years of failure to restore the Union by
the experilnent of war, during which, tinder the
pretence of a military necessity of war power
higher than the Constitution, the Constitution
itself has been disregarded in every part, and pub
lic liberty and private rights alike trodden down,
and the material prosperity- of the country essen
tially impaired, justice, humanity, liberty and pub
lic welfare demand that immediate efforts be made
for a cessation of hostilities, with a view to an Ont.
mate convention of all the States, or other peace
able means, to the end that at the earliest practi
cable moment peace may be restored on the basis of
the Federal Union of the States.
. . _
Resolved. That the aim and object of the Demo
cratic party is to preserve the Federal Union and
the rights of the States unimpaired; and they
hereby declare that they Consider the administra
tive usurpation of extraordinary and dangerous
powers not granted by the Constituti Matesesub
version of the civil by military law in not in
insurrection, the arbitrary military arrest, im-
PrisonmentArial, and sentence of American citi
zens in States where Civil law exists in AM roree,
the suppression of freedom of speech and of the
press, the denial of the right of asylum, the open
and avowed disregard of State rights, the employ
ment of unusual test-oaths. '
and the interference
with and denial of the right of thepeople to bear
arms, as calculated to prevent a restoration of the
Union, and the perpetuation of a Government de •
riving its juste powers from the consent of the
governed.
. .. ~ ~
During the progress of the campaign of 1864,
the speakers , writers, and canvassers filled
the country with their hopes and fears, their
opinions and prophesies. In accordance with
the platform of the opposition, their leaders
boldly denounced the war as a failure, openly
proclaimed that the South never could be con-
Lincolnand that the re-election of Abraham
would Certainly prolong the war for
at least four years more, and Hu the land with
debt, with shame, and disgrace, and with un
told horrors and woes, and finally destroy the
Republic of our fathers and rear a great mili
tary despotism on its ruins. On the other
hand, the friends of the Administration urged
that there cquld be no safety for the nation ex
cept in a vigorous prosecution of the war, and
that the re-election of Mr. Lincoln would go far
and do much to hasten the overthrow of the
rebellion. The result is before the world. The
- promises and pledges of Union men made in
1564, have all been kept and fulfilled. Those of
our political adversaries have all been dissi
pated and proved hollow, delusive and false.
The ballot-box exhibited a majority unprece
dented in the history of the nation. The ene
mies of liberty in foreign lands stood appalled
at the result. The friends of the Union every
where took new courage. The rebels trembled
with fear, the heart of the rebellion grew sick
and sank in the bosom of treason, and the
sympathizers with rebellion in the North hid
themselves away from the public gaze, and
many of them to-day deny that they ever ad
vocated the doctrines or made the prophesies
which they then so earnestly defended, and so
confidently proclaimed.
Thanks to the heroism, courage and skill of
American soldiers, sailors and officers, and to
the God of battles, the war is over, our nation
saved, and the good old Republic still lives.
Peace has again spread her gentle wings over
our once happy and still beloved land. The
sounkd of trumpets, the noise of cannon and
musketry, the tread of armies, the victorious
cheers of our braVe soldiers andthe sickening
groans of the wounded and dying are no long
er heard in our borders. The nation, as in
former times, comes out of the fiery ordeal
triumphant, and now redeemed and vindica
ted before the world, stands forth more bright
than ever before as a beacon to the down-trod
den and oppressed of all lands, as a terror to
the tyrants of the earth, as an asylum for the
oppressed of all nations and as the wonder
and. admiration of the lovers of Freedom
everywhere.
The grass which we were told - would grow in
the streets of Northern cities in ease of war,
is now growing in the streets where the pro
phesy was made. The ruin, poverty and suf
fering which were to overtake the people of
the North are resting upon the people who
prayed for such blessings upon our heads. The
new paradise which was to be discovered to
delight the saints of the " Southern Confede
racy," is filled with darkness and gloom, with
sorrow and woe.
The large and mighty armies of treason
have been overthrown And geattered before
the larger and more powerful armies of the
Republic. Traitors and their friends, every
where, have been compelled to yield to the
greatness, the power, the energy, the re
sources of the nation, and the courage, skill
and endurance of her heroic SOM.
Seine of the leaders of the rebellion are
buried beneath the soil they attempted to de.
secrete, some are fugitives in foreign lands,
and others are swarming _the National capital
and crawling into the White House, begging
pardons from the man whom, of all others in
the land, they have most fiercely denounced
and most bitterly hate. The chief of the re
bellion himself, from his prison at Fortress
Monroe t surveys the ruin he has wrought
among his own people, and. silently and sul
lenly awaits the action of the nation he vainly
attempted to destroy, to make known to him,
in its own good time, the doom he SO richly
merits.
111 the North we have prosperity and plenty,
all the evidences of increasing power and
greatness, everywhere present; and the nation
surely and certainly advancing more rapidly
than ever before in the path orprogress. And,
notwithstanding all the calamities and saori:
floes of four years of bloody war (made more
destructive by the inhumanity and barbarism
of our enemies), we have just welcomed to
their homes more than one million of brave
men, who have saved the nation and made
their names immortal..
THIE ISSUES or THE, PRESENT CAMPAIGN.
After the settlement of the issues of 1864 so
dllBB.BtrOUHly in the field and so_ overwhelm
ingly at - the Ballet-1)02; against — our adverse
ries, it would seem most singular that the
same questions should be again presented to
the people of the Keystone State. But they
have selected their ground, and we willingly
and gladly accept the challenge. At the con
vention of their OrgaTiization t recently held
at Harrisburg, it was resolved, that "the men
and the party administering the .Government
since IE6I have betrayed their trust, violated
their sacred obligations, disregarded the com
mands of . the fundamental law,
corruptly
squandered the public money, perverted the
whole Governmentfrom its original purposes,
and thereby have brought untold calamities
upon the country." The measures of the ad
ministration of Abraham Lincoln, so recently
endorsed by so large a majority of his coml.
trymcn, are here foolishly- and wickedly de
nOuneed by the members of this convention,
and the people of Pennsylvania are gravely
asked to sanction ,the act, reverse their own
judgment, and repudiate the verdict of the
nation Solemnly rendered at the ballot-bor.
The "Sic camper tyrannize' of the ever-to
be-exeotAted Booth, uttered as he rushed from
the scene of the great crime of the age,mm

haufLincoln; nor runtmore direct y linter
to the feelings and sentiments of his cOutitrY
men than does this utterance of the late sec
called Democratic Convention.- Let the whole
army or freemen which marched to victory in
1864, under the banner of Abraham Lincoln, be
again called into the field, Enid march to the
polls - in October, 1865, to resent the insult to
his memory. Let there be no absentees—no
deserters—no stragglers—but let the old sol
diers, of leers, and men, with a host of new re
cruits, be on ham& ready for the fight.
But our adversaries were not content to stop
with this resolution. .They say in substance
and effect that "war existed as a fact upon the
advent of the successful party in 1860 to the
seat of poWern—that "slaughter, debt and di&
grace are the results of our late civil war "
and that " no more persons shall be murdered
by military commissions." We, had, thought
that it had been pretty well settled by the
American people that the war was eausedi
commenced and forced upon us by the actions
and conduct of traitors, and that the election
of a President according to the provisions of
the Constitution and laws of the country, was
no cause of war whatever, We thought, too,
that success, the glory, greatness and renown
of our common country—the death of treason,
slavery, State sovereignty, and the right of
secession, and not simply "debt, disgrace and
slaughter" were results of the war. As the
action' of the military commission had cost
only the lives of a few of the assassins of Pre
sident Lincoln, and as only a few of the vilest
of the rebels were in danger from similar
trials, it is next to impossible to divine a mo
tive for the hostility of the late' onvention
toward military commissions, It would be
uncharitable to intimate that it originated in
sympathy with such criminals as Wirz or Jef
ferson Davis.
In contrast with this remarkable 'platform
of our political opponents, we have that of our
own representatives, which, among other
things, contains the following:
"The Union party of Pennsylvania, in State
convention assembled., declare: -
"L That as representatives of the loyal peo
ple of the Commonwealth, we reverently desire
to oiler our gratitude to Almighty God., whose
favor has vouchsafed victory to the national
arms, enabled us to eradicate the crime of
slavery from our land, and to render treason
against ons Republic impossible forevermore ;
anti next to him our thanks are due and are
hereby tendered to our brave soldiers] and
sailors, who, by their endurance, sacrifices,
and illustrious heroism, have secured to their
country peace, and to the down-trodden eve
rywhere an asylum of liberty ; who have shown
that the war for the restoration of the Union
is not a failure, and whose valor has proven
for all time the fact that this Government of
the people, by the people, for the
_people, is as
invincible in its strength as it is beneficent in
its operations."
The doctrines and principles of the party in
1864 have been re-asserted by the convention
of 1865. It is confidently believed that they
will not be deserted nor abandoned by the peo
ple at the polls in October next
01 , 1111'1 1 10N OF STATES LATELY IN RIIIIIILLION
There exists between the two parties and
indeed among persons of the same political
faith, some difference of opinion in regard to.,
the true condition and standing of States
lately in rebellion against the Government..
It is not plYlpoBBd to , o4l3olllBLhe s f v u t i K r o t - 0 -
the question—"Arethe States now, and have •
they been during the war, within the Union or,
not?" If by "the States" is meant the soil or
territory embraced within their boundaries,
or the space occupied by them upon the map, •
then we rejoice to believe that not One inch
has ever yet been or ever can be taken out of
the Union. But it would seem equally clear
that the Governments of those States have
been wholly and utterly subverted, and. for •
four years and more have been violently hos
tile and antagonistic to the. Union. We
find that on the 20th day of -
November,
1860, the Attorney General of the United
States (Judge Black) in an official opi
nion used the following language : "If it
be true that war cannot be declared, nor a
system of general hostility carried on by the
Central Government against a State, then it
seems to follow that an attemptto do so would
be ipso facto an expulsion of such State from the ,
Union, being treated as an alien andan enemy,
she would be compelled to act accordingly.
' ,And Clonvess should break up the present
Union by unconstitutionally p utting strife and
enmity and armed hostility between different
sections of the country, instead of the domes-
tic tranquillity which the Constitution was
meant to insure will not all the States be ab
solved from their Federalobligationsi Is any
portion of the people bound to contribute
their money or their blood to carryon a contest
like that I If, in accordance with this view,
" those States were expelled from the Union," and
if " they were absolved from their Federal obliga
tions," it would seem to be pretty clear that
they were ont of the Union.
On the other side of the same question We
have the same authority. At the convention
of August 24th, 1865, Judge Black, chairman
of the committee on resolutions, reported,
among other things, the following; " That the
Slates couldot absolve the people from their Fe
deral obliga tions; that the State ordinances of se
cession were nullities, and therefore when the
attempted revolution came to an end bY the
submission of the insurgents, the States were
as much a part of the Union as they had been
before." It would seem from these views that
when it suited the convenience, the fancy, or
perhaps the wishes of some persons to have
the insurrectionary States out of the Union,
thenthey were out; and when it was desirable
to have them back again, then they were in
and had never been out ! -
We are sometimes told that the ordinances
of secession were null and void. It is con
ceded that they were illegal and unconsti
tutional. So it is to commit murder, But you
cannot restore the life of the victim by de
claring the illegal act null and void. It is un
lawful to steal; yet if your horse be stolen
you cannot bring him back by declaring ever
so earnestly that the act is null and void.
Concede that the act of secession was not
only illegal and unconstitutional., but also
null and void ; then, of course, all that fol
lowed in pursuance thereof must be null and
void. If the foundation is removed the super
structure must fall. It is matter of history.
however, to every one, that in those States all
the judges, Legislatures, and oilicers chosen,
and all the laws passed since the commence
ment of the rebellion, were chosen and passed
in pursuance of the ordinances of secession.
Of course, these actions are all null and void.
Ileum, we find these States without Gover.
nors, without judges, without Legislatures,
and with their entire government subverted
and overthrown. Being, however, a part of
the soil and territory of the nation, it is for
the nation to provide a government for them
until their people, freed from the odium of
treason, and taught to submit in good faith to
the issue of the ; contest through which they
havejust passed, shall prepare and adopt for
themselves a truly republican form of govern
ment, recognizin all the great truths vin
dicated and established by the blood and
treasure of the nation.
But it matters but little as to the opinions
we may entertain in regard to the abstract
question, whether these - States are in or out
of the Lnion, because it must be conceded,
On all hands, that they have been recog
nized as belligerents. OUT pOlitieal adver
saries were the first to insist that these
rights should be conceded to them. Foreign
nations seconded the demand, and our Go
vernment yielded to it and treated them as
such. Lest some one, now that the war is
Over, should insist that they were not in the
position of belligerents, let us examine what
the highest legal tribunal of the country has
declared upon the subject.
The Supreme Court of the United States,
in the prize cases recently decided, says:
"Hence, In organizing this rebellion, they
have acted as States claiming to be sovereign
over all persons and property within their
respective limits, and asserting a right to ab
solve their citizens from their allegiance to
*the Federal Government." •
• - - - - - - - -.-
" It is no 100 SO, unorganized insurrection,
having no defined boundary or possesainti. It
has a boundary marked by lines of bayonets,
and which can be crossed only by force. Sonth
of this line is enemy's territory, because it is
claimed and held in possession by an or
ganized 'hostile and belligerent power,"
Had there been any doubt before this would
clearly set the matter at rest. Having enjoyed
the rights of belligerents, shall they avoid the
responsibilities and duties and refuse to sub
mit to the treatment of belligerentsi What
are aome of these liabilities
"The conventions and treaties made with
a nation are broken or annulled by a war
arising between the contending parties."—
Vatter, book 3, eh. 10, sec. 125.
In discussing the same point, and after al
luding to a former custom which required, a
formal declaration of war, rhillimore, p, 602,
says: "in the place of it has arisen the gene
ral maxim that war, ipso facto, abrogates trea
ties between the belligerents."
On the same subject Chancellor Kent says :
"As a general rule, the obligations of treaties
are dissipated by hostility." 1 Kent, 175.
On this subject Prof Leiber says, on p. 8:
"All municipal law of the ground on which the
armies stand, or of the countries to which they
belong, is silent, and of no effect between ar
mies in the field.”
And Sergeant Wildman (page 8) says: "The
primary effect of war is to extinguish all civil
intercourse, and to place all subjects of bellige
rents in the condition of enemies. This prin
ciple extends not only to the natural-born sub
jects, but to all persons aomicued in the ene
mies' territories; to all who come to reside
there with knowledge of the war,
and who,
having come to rvside before the war, con
tinned their residence after the commence
ment of hostilities for a longer time than is
necessary for their convenient departure."
For fear some one might contend that these
principals do not apply in cases of civil war,
we add an additions authority. •
In considering this question, Vette], in his
Law of Nations, on pages 424 and 425, uses this
langnage:
When in a republic the nation is divided
into two opposite factions, and both sides take'
up arms, this is called a civil war." "The
sovereign indeed never fails to bestow-the ap-'
pellation of rebels on all such of his subjects as
openly resist Min but when the latter have'
acquired a sufficient strength to give him
effectual opposition, and oblige him to carry;
on the war against them according to the
established rules, he must necessarily submit.
to the use of the term ' civil war.' On earth,
they have no common superior, they stand pre-'
eisely in the same predicament as two nations who
engage in a contest, and, being unable to come to
an agreement, have recourse to arms."
It is therefore perfectly manifest that these
late rebels are now in the condition of con
quered, subdued belligerents. How may We'
lawfully treat them?
When the war has been unjtist, Vattei says:
"The whole right of a conqueror is derived
from justifiable self-defence, which compren
hends the support and prosecution of his,
rights. When, therefore, he has subdued allow,
tile natiou, he undeniably may, in the first
place, do himself justice respecting the object,
which has given rise to the war, and indemni.-:
fY himself for the expenses and damages he
has sustained by it."
"We have a right to deprive our enemy of
his possession of every thing which may aug-
Wilt his strength and enable him to make'
war." (Page get).
"Every thing, therefore, which belongs to
the nation, to the state, to the sovereign, to the
subjects—every thing of that kind, I say, falls
under the description of things belonging to
the enemy. (Page 1 2 5 ).
"A conqueror may with justice lay herdene
on the conquered nation, both as a compensai
tion for the expenses of the war and a punish , "
meat." (Page 389).
On this-subject one of our own authors, Chan
cellor Kent, says:
"But, however strong the current of auth
rity in favor of the modern and milder con,
struction of the rule of national law on this sub-'
jest, the point seems to be no longer open for
discussion in this country ; and it has become
definitely settled in favor of the ancient and
garner rule by the Supreme Court of the Uni 4
ted States." (Kent's Corn., page 59. Also, see
Brown vs. the United States, 8 Cranch, 11(1. See
also Ibid, 222,925).
Kent, in the same connection, in referring to
the case of the cargo of the snip Emulous,
Gallium, 562; in the Circuit Court of the United
States, at Boston, says:
" When the case was brought up, on appeal;
before the Supreme Court of the United States,
the broad principle was assumed, that war
gave to the sovereign full right to take the
persons and confiscate the property of the ener
my wherever found; and that the mitigations
of this rigid rule, which the wise And humane
policy of modern times had introduced into
practice, might, more or less, affect the exer
cise of the right, but could' not impair the
right itself."
TREATMEUT OP RBBICLB.
We have thus seen how we may legally treat
those latelyin rebellion against us. How should
We treat them I All will admit that we should
desire to act towards them in such a way ab
best tO promote the Welfare of the people, and
add most - to the - greatness and' glory of our
comMOn country. It %if depend much upon
'I
our- allitionilwhether the Ins o dithe
most gigintie in the, -world's history,. shall
lfroduce substantial results, or whether the
-blood and , treaanre. of the nation have been
shed and mewed in vain. We must be
merciful, but moray -must lie terepered with
justice. Indisoriminate mercy to the enemy
would be danger and - injustice to the 'nation..
We must neither seek nor ask for vengeance.
Whenever our late adversaries come in a
true spirit Of sorrow and repentance, sheath
the sword and agree to obey the law in
the future we will extend to them the right
hand of fellowship, and forgive them for the
past. After they shall have given us satisfac
tory security for the futnre, by a reasonable
probation, we will then, but not till then, restore
them to the enjoyment Of all the inestimable
rights and high privileges which they so
recently, so . deflaUtly, and so eanselessiy
trampled under their feet. For defiant and
unyielding rebels; for those who keep the
sword still.drawnrreeking With the blood of
our brothers ; for those who refuse to accept
and submit, in good faith, to the results of the
war; for all who glory in the part they took in
the rebellion, and who still-insist that they
were right and the nation WrOngove must have
confiscation, loss of citizenship, and in the
end, banishment or the halter. Under the law
of nations, and by the laws of war, we have
a clear right to enforce the great objects of
all wars—indemnity for the past, and semi?
rity for the future. This right extends to
the confiscation of the enemy's property after
the war is over.. Even as a question of policy
and expediency, or upon the ground of hu
manity, it is by no means certain that some
eueii measure is not required for the security
of the futai=e. The was is not ended until
the conquered party has fairly accepted
all its results. As we have seen, we hold
the late rebel States by the power of war
as conquered belligerents. It is not only the
right, hut the solemn duty of the Govern
ment to hold these belligerents in the Mill,
tary grasp until all shall be demanded and
obtained which may be necessary to secure the
nation in the future, and render another re
hellion or another war impossible. In accom
plishing these ends, who could reasonably
complain if it should be found necessary to
confiscate theproperty of the rich, influential,
and active traitors. If the aristocratic element
of the South will not be taught to obey the
law, let its power and influence be taken from
it by taking away its wealth. What loyal man
could object, that by, means of this fluid a
few of the comforts, if not the luxuries of life,
should be added to the tables of those widows
throughout the land 'whose firesides have been
made desolate by the war ` or rather by the
treason which caused it. Wino would object,
that the bounties and pensions of our soldiers,
by 'whom the victory was won and the nation
saved, should be increased, and a trifle added
to theecuniary compensation so Justly due
them fir the sacrifices made? Who could ob
jeet, that by means of these funds, so justly
forfeited, a large portion of our national debt
should be paid, and thereby the taxes of all
classes of our people diminished, and a part of
the heavy load imposed upon the - shoulders
of our people by treason, thus removed by
treason itself. The rich men of the Bouth—the
aristocracy of -tud raboilit:me -al , e‘ae — asre
responsible for the rebellion.
F in o o r s ,, t ,,... e t. n u t iTes *Y they have been living in ease
luxury,sustained, supported, and en
riched by the sweat and toil of the slave. Our
so-called • Demooratie adversaries tell us that
the war was for the negro, and for the allot&
tion of slavery. If this - be true, would it not
seem to be a Just judgment or decree of an
overruling Providence, that the fruits of the
negro's labor and toil should thus be wrested
from the hands of his master to purchase and
secure his own freedom 'I
It is absolutely indispensable to the future
peace of the country that the world shall be
made to understand that treason is a great
crime, and must be punished. Yet, in the set
tlement„of these questions, the rebels shall re
ceive at our hands all that justice and safety
will permit us togrant. Our treatment of
them shall be greatly influenced by their fu
ture conduct and actions towards the nation.
And in shaping these, it would be well for
them to remember that the war was of their
own seeking, and of their own making, and
that no one is so completely bound by a ver
dict as the man who sought the advantages of
the trial.-
Extraordinary efforts are being Made by our
opponents to obtain the votes of our fellow
citizens, recently returned from the service
of the country in the army of the nation. In
these efforts they should, and it is confidently
believed, that they will fail:
1. Because a vigorous prosecution of the
war for the suppression of the rebellion hoe
ever been urged by the Union party of the
country.
2. Because the war has never been sustained
or advocated by the leaders of the party op
posed to the Administration.
8. Because the friends of the Union Cause
have always sustained and supported the
soldiers in the field, and the leaders of pre
tended Democracy have ridiculed and de
rided the soldiers of the Union, calling them
“Litieoln , s hirelings," "robbers," " prunder
ers," and other epithets unfit for repetition.
4. Because when volunteers were called for,
they demanded a draft.
5. Because when the draft came, they op
posed the COMMUtatiOn clause, and declared
it was a discrimination against the poor man.
6. Because when that clause was repealed
they complained that the only hope of the
poor man was gone. •
7. Because they denounced the war as a negro
.war and did nothing to aid or assist in carry
ing it on.
-8. Because they became highly indignant
when negro troops were called for, and threw
the benealk of all their sympathies with the
South.
9. Because they oppOsed every measure the
Government found i necessary to adept for
the suppression of the rebellion.
10. Because they magnified every rebel suc
cess, and deprecated every Union victory.
11. Because, in 1804, they declared the war a
failure,
12. Because, in 1865, they ileelitre that the
fruits of the war are " debt, disgrace, and
slaughter."
13. Because they tried to prevent the exten
sion of the right of suffrage to soldiers in ser
vice. Their leaders opposed it in almost every
form. Senator Wanace,now Chairman of their
State Central Committee, said (see Record of
1864, pages 335, 339) : "I vote against this bill
upon principle, as well as for form. It is said
that so meritorious a class as volunteer sol
diers should not be disfranchised. TO this I'
answer, that neither the constitution of 1790,
nor that of 1888, conferred this privilege, and
the act of the soldier in taking upon . himself
duties that are from their nature mcompati
ble with the right of suffrage, deprives him of
this privilege. He disfranchises himsey' when he
ceases to be a citizen, and takes upon himself the
duties of a soldier: , When the amendment of
the constitution was submitted to a vote of
the people, many of the so-called Democratic
counties gave majorities against it, while
every county in the State (and it is believed
Obery clectien precinct) which gave Abraham
Lincoln a majority of its votes, gave amajority
in favor of the amendment.
14. Their leaders almost invariably opposed
giving bounties to volunteers, while the
menus of the 'Union party always sustained
'and supported these measures. •
15. Even since the war is over, they em
ployed their ablest lawyers in an effort to de
clare the bounty laws unconstitutional, and
really persuaded their two friends on the
bench of the Supreme Court so to hold.
M. When men weregreatly needed to fill up
the ranks, and the Government ordered a
draft, they resisted, and all of their repre
sentatives upon the bench of the Supreme
Court declared the law authorizing the Na
'tional Government to take men out of the
State, by draft, was unconstitutional and void.
Ken were only obtained, and the nation
.saved, because their party was defeated at the
polls in 1863, and the act of three of these
'judges rebuked by the people, and one of their
places filled by a loyal man and sound judge.
. 17. DeCalne they have tried to injure tile
credit and disparage the currency of the Min
tryvby means of which the pay, bounties, and
pensions of the soldier can alone be paid.
This point they also pressed before the Su
preme Court of the State, and failed by a divi
eleu of three to two.
18. Because the platform of the Union party
recognizes the services of the soldier ,• de
clares that the war was commenced by rebels;
that peace was the result of the courage and
heroism of the Union army; that the cause in
which he fought was holy and sacred ) and that
honor, glory, and prosperity to the country,
and not debt, disgrace, and slaughter," are
the legitimate fruits of his toil.
19. Because, when Union men expressed the
hope that our troops might soon be able to
conquer the South even by their exhaustion
and want of food, those leaders of the pewDe
mocraey declared that "we could never con
quer the South," and that " they had more to
eat in the South than we had in the North."
an Because, when rebels were starving., our
brave soldiers by the hundred at Libby, Belle
Island ) Andersonville, and elsewhere, these
same leaders excused or mitigated the Crime
by declaring that " they fed our prisoners as
well as they did. their own men ;" that
" owing to the unconstitutional blockade of
the tyrant Lincoln, they could not obtain a
sufficiency of food."
PRESIDENT JOHNSON AND THE OPPOSITION
The opposition has not been so consistent in
their course towards President Johnson as
they have on the subject of the War, Prior to
his renomination they abused, Maud and
denounced him. From the time of his floral-,
nation until the election, no epithets were too
coarse. From the inauguration until the
death of President Lincoln, they continued in
the MRS strain. Alter that they begun to
flatter—then to approach. When he ordered
the execution of the assassins, they sent forth
a loud howl of Indignation. When lie ordered
a trial of the Andersonville wholesale mur
derer, and talked of trying Jefferson Davis,
they were about to give him up in despair.
But now they profess to grow a little more
confident. They endorse him in Maine and
New York. They endorse him (provided he
will do as they wish) in Pennsylvania. In
1863, they spoke of him thus Senator Lam
berton, Record of 1863, page 369: "But
then he was Andrew Johnson the Demo
crat. Now, however, lie has deserted his
post of duty in Tennessee; he is stultifying
his past record; he has become a pensioner
on potsyr, and a defender of the usurpations
of Abraham Lincoln; and he appears among
us today as an itinerant peddler olizbolitiontsm. ,,
Senator Wallace, page 374 "During all the OS
istenee of the rebellion, where la Andrew
Johnson" In the Senate of the United States,
seeking protection for himself and his fellows
under the bayonets of the soldiers of McClel
lan. He is never found in arms in defence of
his State._ or valiantly fighting in defence of
the liberties of his people against the armed
cohorts of the rebellion. Never! never!" Se
nator Clymer, page 377: "I say, sir that his"
(Johnson's? " appointment, by tb e President of
the United States, to that position, was a
usurpation of power on the part of the
President. * * That is my po
sition, so far as concerns this pretended
Governor of Tennesse. But without re
gard to any question of his official po
sition, take Andrew Johnson as an individual.
* I never, by my vote, will allow a man
to come into these halls and from this place
speak to the people of this groat State, in sup
port of what know to be illegal, unconstitu
tional, and tyrannical acts of the Federal Go
vernment. I know, sir, that Andrew Johnson
has gone as far as the farthest, and is ready to
go still fprther to destroy, to uproot, to upturn
every principle upon -which this great and
• good Government of ours was founded. I
now that he has bent with suppliant knee be
fore the throne of power; I know that, for pelf,
.or some other consideration, he has succumbed to
every mca.ruropresented to him for approval or
disapproval ,
These political leaders now are simply
watching their chances, hoping that some
thing may turn up may enable them to
return to power. In New York they adopted a
platform at variance with all their past pro.
olons, and actually refused to condemn
egro suffrage ! They hope to use President
Johnson to subserve their selfish purposes.
THE CHARGE OF . NEGRO EQUALITY.
For many years ourpolitical opponents seem
to Katie & large investment in slavery and the
negro. Now that slavery is pretty generally
admitted to be dead, it was thought that they
might allow the old subject to rest. But not
so. They return to the question with as much
apparent zeal and warmth as ever. With a full
knowledge of the fact that negro suffrage and
negro equality are not, and could not possibly
be an isade, in the October contest, they are
making extraordinary efforts to mislead and
deceive their fellow-citizens into a contrary
lielief. They think that our hostility andpre
judices against the negroare sogreat, andthat
they have so often appealed to these with some
show of success, that it is only necessary to
repeat the effort in order to accomplish
their designs. They tell you that efforts are
being made to elevate the negro, and to place
the two races on an equality. They seem
to be very much afraid that owe_ poor de
graded negro may outstrip them in the race of
life. They tell us that these negroes are weak,
ignorant, and inferior to the whites. If so, it
would seem that they needed our help and aS•
sistanee •to educate and instruct them. The
only-danger of equality we can see is, that
some White me% PY PPlignuing longer in such.
a - course of argument, in utter disregard of
truth, experience,"and history, for the base
purpose of reaching — the prejudices of the
thoughtless, may at last succeed in bringing
themselves down to or beneath the level of the
negro. The time was when they confidently
declared that the destruction of slavery would
send swarms of negroes into our midst to drive
away white laborers. Experience has shown
that the few we had here ran away from sla
very hi the South, and that had there been no
elaverythere these negroes in the North would
nave long since moved geintlt. They told us,
too, that in ease of a war, the slaves would all
fight for their masters. Neither Southern
masters nor their Northern allies have any
faith in this doctrine now. But these politi
elana cannot live without the negro, lie com
prises nearly their entire stock in trade. one
year it is one phase of the negro question%
another year it is something else. The great
work of Bishop Hopkins was once one of their
standard Werke. It is rather dull salc this
year. The conduct of these politicians towards
the poor degraded negro, would be past all
comprehension, had we not a memorable
example of the same kind in the early history
Of the human race. All the troublesome and
deadly plagues of Egypt, including the death
of all the first-born of the land., were not sum-
(dent to reach the heart of Pharoah, nor to
persuade the Egyptians of ,the errors ancisins
of slavery. So that, even after the slaves had ,
left the country , led by a pillar of a cloud by '
oaS , , of flvelsy night the ruler and 1
his hosts of subjects followed them even into
the midst of the Red Sea. Our nation has
suffered more than all the plagues of Egypt.
As the law of primogeniture has been abolished
amonf l us, the deaths were not all of our first
born, ut nearly one of every hollachold; yet
these deluded hosts, led on by hard-hearted
and wicked Pharoahs, as leaders, are still par
suing even into the midst of the Red Sea. Will
not the "waters standing as walls of safety" to
the slaves, return again and cover Pharoah
and his hosts, and all that come into the sea
after them, until there shall remain not so
much as one of them?
OUR CANDIDATES
ror Auditor Generaj, we have presented the
name of-Major General JOHN F. HARTHANYT,
of Montgomery i and for Surveyor General,
that of COlO.llOl JACOB M. CAMPBELL, Of Cam
bria. As biographies of these two gentlemen
have recently been published and circulated
among their fellow-citizens, it is only remark.
ed here, that they are both brave and gallant
soldiers, and especially , qualified for a satis
factory, discharge of the duties of the respec
tive offices for- which their fellow-citizens
have nominated them.
INPOHTBECIS OF THE 188
It is not to be disguised that there is a large
number of persons both at the North and at
the South, who have not finally abandoned the
hope of the ultimate triumph _of th.-p.i.... 1 -
rdea rif the ./ate-i,overtiOn: - They b.ope tO se
cure by the success of their views at the bal
lot-boy, that which they failed to accomplish
by armed force. It may depend upon the de
cision of Pennsylvania on the 10th of October,
whether the war shall prove, at last, a failure
—whether its fruits are to be only " debt, dis
grace and slaughtern or whether it in to have
I
substantial results n the death and burial of
slavery, State sovereignty and the right of
secession.
It is a well-established fact, that the contest
was long protracted by reason of the hope and
belief entertained by the South that they
would receive aid and sympathy from the
North. It is now all important to the South
that they should be assured that this hope is
fallacious. and that the North will adhere un
falteringly to the doctrines, principles, and
views which Carried them triumphantly
through the four years of bloody war. It is
best ito let them know, at once and forever,
that there is no hope for the final triumph of
the doctrines and measures for which they
contended in the field.
We have seen that the men among us who
were firstto urge upon the Government to
hold the rebels in the lightof belligerents, are
now the first to strive to relieve thorn from
the consequences and penalties of their belli
gerency. Those who were constant in their
predictions that the " war would never end,"
and that "the South could never be con
quered," are now most ready to insist that the
waris over, and that its objects and results
shall not be secured, but that rebels shall be
instantly. restored to all their former rights
under the Constitution and laws of the coun
try. These Same men who are now appealing
to the soldiers for their votes, officially de
nounce as "murderers' , all those engaged in
trying and punishing by military commission
the authors of the wholesale slaughter of their
companions in arms. All this and more they
do with a full knowledge of the law of na.
tions, and the laws of war, which declare
that these men have forfeited all their
rights under the Constitution, and that
they now lie prostrate at the feet of the
victor, as conquered, overthrown and sul.t.•
dued belligerents; with ' just such rights
and no more, as a kind and merciful Govern
ment may choose to vouchsafe to them. Let
the people rally to the polls, and sustain by
their votes the great cause so nobly and
bravely defended and. sustained by the soldier
in the field. The Futtire will then declare that
the e Great War of Freedom , ' was not a " fail
ure ;" but our children to the latest genera
tion will learn to read, with the warmest glow
of patriotism, those pages of our nation's his
tory which describe the skill and heroism of
the officers and soldiers of this great struggle,
and never cease to venerate their memories.
Thereatness, power, resources, and energy free of a people, displayed in our great strug
gle for the preserVetion of the nation's life,
will only be equalled by the future greatnetS,
prosperity, and success of the nation, purified,
regenerated, and reclaimed by the fiery ordeal
through which we have just passed.
By order of the committee.
JOHN CesszeA,.Chairman.

THE TOWER OF BABEL, on which late accounts
-announce that a cross was recently placed by
a missionary, consists now of only two of the
'eight stories formerly erected. - The remains
are, however, visible from a very great dis
tance. Each side of the quadrangular basis
measures 200 yards in length, and the bricks of
which it is composed are of thepure white
clay, with a very slight brownish tint, which,
in the sun, assumes a wonderfully rich hue.
The bricks, before being baked, were covered
with characters traced with the hand in aalear
and regular style. The bitumen which ?Allred
for cement was derived from a fountain which
Still exists near the tower, and which flows
with such abundance that it boon forms a
stream and would invade the neighboring
river did not the natives, frofn time to time,
set tire to the stream of bitumen, and :then
wait quietly until the flames cease for want of
aliment. All these particulars will doubtless
interest those unfortunates who flrellOW Study
