We shall postpone striking the names of de

DR. BOYER'S REVELATIONS
The statement, copied from the Harrisburg
Patriot and Union of the 22d inst., of Dr. T. Jsr
season BOYAR, member of the Assembly from
Clearfield county - , will be read with interest by
every one. It is a full and complete exposure of
the secret negotiations that were known to be go.
ing on at Harrisburg, by which Gen. Sutton CAM..
now hoped, for the second time, to buy a seat
in the Senate of the United &WS, Dr. Borne
toile his story in so circumstantial a manner,
with every particular as to dates, times, persona
and figures, that its truth is apparent. The part
he played in the transaction was a difficult and
delicate one, and the success with which he car
ried it through, proves him a master in the art
of finesse. For once, the wily chieftain, whose
luck had hitherto never failed him, was outwit
ted, and beaten at his own game.
The revelation of Dr_ Boren would be amn.
sing, were it not for the dark picture of political
intrigue and corruption it exposes—a picture so
revoking to every sentiment of honor and hon
esty, that its reality will be hardly credited by
those who are unacquainted with the modes by
which canning and crafty men gain place and
power. It is a sorry commentary upon the de
moralization of the leaders of the party now in
power, and their prostitution of the honors and
rewards that an upright public life holds' out, to
purposes the most selfish, debasing and vile.
We repeat, what we said last week, in reference
to the Senatorial election, that every honest anti
patriotic citizen, of whatever party, should re
joice that, for once, the artifices of an arch pal•
ideal trickster failed to fasten their corrupting
influence upon the Legislature of our State. The
lesson this disclosure conveys is a serious one,
and if rightly read and applied by the people,
will have a salutary effect upon the future con
duct of politician's who have been too ready to
believe and act upon the debauching maxim that
" every man heti his ppm"

which position he proved himself a faithful pub
lic officer.
FITZ-JOHN PONTICE FOUND GUILTY AND DDI
NDSBND.—The New-York Tribune has a special
dispatch from Washington, stating, contrary to
the general belief, that the Court Martial before
which Gen. Pita-John Porter was tried, had

prefered against him,which were for disobedience
of orders and cowardice in the face of the enemy,
and that the President had approved the findings,

service to be carried into execution against him.
Fitz John Porter was a cadet from New Hamp
shire, leaving the Military Academy in 1845. He

VALLANDIGHAIVI'S SPEECH
We publish, this week, the first. part of the
speech mad; by Mr. Vallandighsm, of Ohio, in
Congress, ou the I.lth inst., and will give the
conclusion nest week. This speech is a hold
and powerful argument—unpalatable, it may be,
to some—against the coercive policy that. so
swiftly developed itself into war; against the
further prosecution of the war, se unnatural,
and inevitably leading to national bankruptcy
and ruin, and the final dismembeiment of the
Union ; and in favor of an immediate cessation
of hostilities, and the inauguration of lawful
and constitutional measures for peace and ulti
mate restoration. It presents, in a strong light,
the fact—mortifying as it is, het still a. feet Htt,
if we are wise, we dare not close our eyes to—
that, with absolute and almost despotic power.in
its hands, and with an.unlimited control of men,
money, and all the sinews of war, for nearly
LW "MISS, the Cloveleattient has utterly failed to
subdue the rebellion, or to bring back a single
refractory State to its allegiance to the Union.
The only results of the most gigantic intestine
war that history has ever recorded, prosecuted
upon a scale that no war of ancient. or modern
times has ever equalled, are the destruction of
thousands of the lives of the very best men of
the land; and the creation of a debt so enormous
as to be almost beyond calettlation. Mr.
Vallan
dighetn argues from this, that the restoration of
the Union, by means of war alone,,is a hopeless
work ; and that its further prosecution, for any
other object, will prove even more disastrous and
futile. Ho attributes all the evils of sectional
strife, secession, dissolution, and devastating
civil war, to the spirit of meddlesome interference
with the rights . of others, which had hs origin
in New England fanaticism, and found an object,
only too available for its mischievous ends, in a
doniestic institution of the Southern' States that
was obnoxious to the early education, habits
and associations of the North—an interference
that was, at all times, unwarrantable and unjust,
and in violation of the fundamental principle
upon which. the Federal Union was based.
Some of Mr. Vallandigbam's views are yet in
advance of peptdar opinion in a portion of the
North ; but the time is not far distant when their
correctness will be fully acknowledged and vin
dicated. Even now, from the thinned ranks of
the Army—from the desolated homes where
fathers, mothers, children, wives, sisters, broth
ers, weep in bitter anguish for those, in many
instances their only earthly protectors, who have
been taken from them forever by tf this cruel
war,"—from the marts of commerce and mer
chandize, where the millionaire is trembling at
the prospect of the financial crisis that will, at a
single blow, send him forth into the wide world
a beggar—from the humble dwelling of the
mechanic and laborer, who find their wages nom
inally the same as before, but really inadequate
to buy more than half of what they need for a
bare subsistence—front all these, comes a cry,
growing every day, if not every bout louder
and more importunate, for "peace at any price."
It the Government is not entirely given over to
the mad delusion into which the fanaticism of
abolition has misled it, it will heed this cry ;
and now, before it be forever too late, initiate
measures of peace, not " at any cost," but that,
if undertaken in a proper spirit, and with some
thing of the tolerant, magnanimous, patriotic
statesmanship that guided the fathers of the re
public in the formation of the Union, will, under
the providence of God, being us an honorable
and a permanent peace, and, after a sufficient
time shall have elapsed, to allay the barbarous
passions that war has aroused, a country resto
red to unity and brotherhood, under a common
government, represented by one thig—the " Star
Spangled Banner," by which sign all the pros
perity and all the glories that have made us a
great nation, were achieved.
