MR. WRIGHT'S SPEECH
We publish, this week, the reply of the lion.
Hainnuen B. Warawr, of Pennsylvania, to the
speech by Mr. VALLANDIMLUI, whioh appeared
in the two preceding numbers of our paper.
We are perfectly willing that the arguments on
both sides of the question of War as a means of
restoring the Union shall be heard and under—
stood ; anti the Abolition papers, from Forney'e
Press down, that have been praising Mr.
WRIGHT'S speech so highly, and declaring that
no Democratic paper has bad the independence
to copy it, are mistaken, so far as one is con
cerned, at tenet. But, we venture to say, that
the number of Democratic newspapers that have
published Mr. Warotres speech, is greater than
the number of Opposition papers that have pub
lished the speech by Mr. TALIANDIGUAM.
RUT run TIM RESEILV6B.—At length our brave
soldiers who form the remnant of the Pennsylva
nia Reserves, are to have rest. An order has
been issued to withdraw the Reserve Corps from
the Seld, and place them on duty in the fortifica
tions around Washington. However late this
order comes, we rejoice that it bee been issued.
Had a similar order been made six months ago—
had the Reserves been allowed time to reel and
recruit even three months ago, and officers been
detailed to visit Pennsylvania on recruiting ser
vice, every company could have been filled with
fresh levies, and the Corps thus restored to its
maximum strength. The State yearned'to 'acrease
the glory of that gallant band, by renewing its
strength and again reviving its undaunted valor
in adequate numbers to meet the foe. Proposi
tions in every shape were made to secure this
object and result, but each in turn was rejected
as impracticable, until delay and death dimin
13bed the confidence and enthusiasm and thinned
the ranks of what was once the most effective
corps in the army
HEAVY STOEE Rormenv.—The dry goods store
of Messrs. Eyre & Laudell, at Fourth and Arch
streets, Philadelphia, whose advertisements have
frequently appeared in the Gazette, Was feloni
ously entered on Wednesday night, and robbed
of for.y pieces of silk, worth from four to f t v.-
thoubaud dollars. The rogues took advantage to
the storm, supposing that the police on such
night would not expose themselves too LIMO,.
An entrance was effected by removing the grat
ing in the pavement, and by boring a hole in en
iron cased door sufficiently large to admit or the
bolts being pushed back. It is supposed that
the robbers had a wagon to carry away theplum
der. The removal of the goods from the store
must have occupied from ten to fifteen minutes,
yet the thieves seemed to have escaped observa
tion, though that corner is the meeting of three
policemen on different beats. The apparent
want of attention to their ditties of those police
men led the Mayor to order their suspension.
THE LANCASTER ELECTION—A &oxen Dam
00BATICI VICTORY.—Hon. GEORGE SANDERSON,

ter intelrfertcer, was re-elected Mayor 01 the
city of Luncaater on Tuesday last, by the hand
some majority of 265. The majority last year

New DEMOCRATIC JOURNAL.—Messrs. A. J.
fdlossbrenuer & Co. have issued the prospectus
of a •'National Democtatio newspaper, to be
published daily and weekly in Philadelphia,"
to be entitled "The Aye." The gentlemen as
sociated in the undertaking, are Messrs. A. J.
Glosebrenner, Francis J. Grand and William
Welsh, who cowbitie the requisite business
qualifications with literary ability to conduct a
first class journal successfully. An independent,
reliable and dignified Democratic daily is much
needed in Philadelphia; and if " The Aye" comes
up to this mark, as we feel assured it will, there
should be no doubt as to its support. If Boston,
the very hot-bed of sectional Abolitionism, .can
sustain an oat-spoken, able Democratic paper
like the Peet, surely conservative Philadelphia
ought to be able to do likewise, and better.
jar Grumman Mc°mattes is now on a visit
to Boston. He had an enthusiastic public re
ception at the Tremont House on Monday.
Many officers of the Army, the city government,
and from seven to ten thousand citizens paid
their respects to him. He has been invited to
visit Portland, Maine, end Concord, New Hamp
shire. His engageraem. compelled him to de
cline these invitations. In replying to the Port
land delegation, he alluded with satisfaction to
the conservative feeling he saw in New England.
He remarked that he saw in this conservatism
the hope and strength of the nation. In his re
ply to the Concord delegation, he said he was
preparing a blatoty of the Peninsula campaign.

itjrGax. Mceiater.an was removed because
he was "too slow." The Portland Argue hopes
the ' , progress" since has been satisfactory to
the authors of his removal; we may safely say
,it has been to nobody else.
The papers of Monday last brought us news
of a fight on the Blackwater river, near Suffolk,
Virginia, on the night of the 29th ult. The Re
bel General Parole advanced his forces acroas
the Blackwater on the 28th. The neat evening,
General CORCORAN moved forward to meet him,
.encountering Pryor ten miles from Suffolk. A
heavrmusket and artillery fire was opened upon
the Rebels, lasting for several hours, when they
retreated in confusion. Pryor was seeking a
battle and he found one.
Among the regiments engaged were the Elev—
enth Pennsylvania Cavalry, under Colonel Spear,
and the One hundred and sixty-seventh Pennsyl
vania Infantry, (Berke County Drafted Militia).
Colonel Spear distinguished himself in the action
and lost a horse killed under him. Colonel lino
derer, of the One hundred and sixty-seventh
Pennsylvania, was severely wounded by a shell,
and Lieut. Col. Davis and Major Worth each had
his horse shot under him. Eight of their men,
whose names are given among our '•War News,"
were wounded, but none kilted. We are glad to
hear, by later accounts, direct from this Regi—
ment, that the wounded men are doing well, and
that Col. Knoderer's wound is not considered
dangerous
The.correspondents of the New-York papers,
as has been their habit whenever the fighting
qualities of Pennsylvania troops were in question,
are writing accounts very discreditable to the
behaviour of the Berke County Militia in the
recent battle. The Tribune correspondent, in
alluding to Gen. Corcoran's order for a charge
upon the enemy's battery, through a narrow
defile, with heavy timber and swamp land on
each side, which was swept by their cannon "as
with the besom of destruction," says:
"Shame to record it, the 167th Regiment
Pennsylvania Militia drafted men was not
equal to the emergency. Like the veriest crav
ens that ever mimed a noble cause, nearly every
man of this regiment skulked; and all were as
deaf to the calls of their commanding general
as they were insensible to the demands of patrio
tism and the ordinary dictates of manhood."
The correspondent of the N. Y. Times, aftwf
describing the fight, adds :
" The regiments of the expedition were mostly
new, and behaved well under their first serious
fire, with the exception of the 167th Pennsylva
nia, composed of drafted men. When' ordered
for Ward with the rest, at 6 o'clock, they remain
ed lying in the road, to avoid the shells passing
over them, and refused to stir. Gen. Corcoran,
on hearing this, rode up to them, accompanied
by Col. Spear, and called fur the Colonel. Ile
was dangerously wounded and did not reply.
The Lieutenant Colonel, Major, Adjutant, or
any Captain, were successively called for, with
out answer. The General then said that if any
commissioned officer was there and would ad.
vance the regiment, he should be recommended
for the Celoneloy. A Lieutenant, name unknown,
then rose and 'endeavored to comply, but without
effect. The General then appealed to them, for
the honor of Pennsylvania, when an orderly
sergeant sprang up, saying: ...You can draft us,
but you can't make us fight." lie was itnmedia
tely struck on the head with the back of Colonel
Spear's sword, and felled. Col. Spear desired
to charge them with a company .of cavalry, but
the General thought it better to leave them as
they were. The men evidently needed officers,
and would then have, perhaps, fought."
That the men of this Regiment are raw and
undisciplined, is well known, and we can easily I
believe that in their first engagement, they "did
not display the cool courage of veteran troops.
But the imputations of cowardice that these ex
tracts convey, are hard to credit, particularly as
they differ - entirely front ehe accounts that have.
reached us, and are contradicted by actual Mete.
The Quartermaster of the Regiment writes home
that "the officers behaved exceediitgly well, and
the men did their dt.iy nobly." And how did it.
happen that the Colonel was dangerously wound
ed, and that. the Lieutenant Celooel and Alsjor
had their horses shot under them if, as the Times
correspondent asserts, the officers were not. at
their posts? indeed. the Tiihune correspondent
himself dtsposes if at least a porno!. of his own '
chaeges, in the relation of some of the incideuts
of the tlehe one el which was about ''a Peet
sylvauia conscript—•lnvoluntary Volunteer'—•
who came out of !he woods he had entered to
avoid the rebel shot, with a horse and three Re
bets ahead of him, and three rebel muskets iu his
l-ands." A pretty geed capture, that, fur a
coward. We may take it for granted, that what.
was simply lack of discipline in these men, has
been mist epreseqted by the New-York correspon
dents as want of courage.

will go, go in peace,' their traitorous demagogues
would have been utterly taken aback and die-

A BATTLE NEAR SUFFOLK
MR. BOILEAU RELEASED
Mr. Albert D. Boileau, whose arbitrary arrest
was the occasion of no little excitement a week
ago, has-been released from Fort McHenry, by
order of General Schenk, Commander of the
"Middle Department Eighth Army Corps," who,
by some process unknown to the American Con
stitution and Laws, appears to have obtained an
authority over the Commonwealth of Penneylva•
nia superior to her Governor and Civil Magis
trates. The condition of his release was a pub
lic confession of guilt in the matter of publish
ing “artieles of a dangerous character, tending
to the support and encouragement of Lhe rebel
lion," and a pledge not to offend in a similar
manner in future. In other words, like a school
boy detected in some act for which punishment
threatens him, he says: I have been very naugh•
ty, but if you will only let me off this time, I'll
never do so again ;"
Now, whatever may have been the improprie
ty, or wrong, of publishing, in a Philadelphia
journal, a laudatory review of Jeff. Davis's kles
sage,—whioh was the chief cause of Mr. Boil
eau's offence—there can be no doubt of the ille
gality of his arrest; and he should never, by any
admission of guilt, or pledge of good behavior,
have acknowledged the authority that made it.
Had he had a proper sense of hie dignity as a man,
and of his rights as a citizen, he would have
answered General Schenck in this wise: was
in the exercise of a lawful business—the Consti
tution of the United States and of my own State,
guarantee the liberty of the Press, holding me
answerable at law for any abuse of that liberty.
The Courts alone possess the power to call me to
an account, and punish me, if it shall be proved
that I have transgressed the laws. Your arrest
of me, therefore, at midnight, without authority,
by the power of the bayonet, was not only an
illegal and tyrannical act, but an outrage upon
civil liberty itself, in the highest degree danger
ous. It was not even excusable upon the plea of
'military necessity,' for in the State of which I
.am ,a citizen, war does not exist, and the admin
istration of justice by the civil authorities is
unimpeded. I protest against. both your right to
arrest me, and the manner in which .it was done,
and demand my release."
Had Mr. Boileau taken such a stand, he would
have continued to have, as he had from the start,
the sympathy of the whole Democratic party, and
the support of every citizen who values personal
liberty and the rights of free speech and a free
press. But, as he has humiliated himself, and
compromised the constitutional guarantees of
which he was, for the time, the persecuted re
presentative, by bowing his neck in craven sub
mission to the usurped authority of a military
dictator, we dismiss him and the affair that made
him "the hero of a day," without further oom
meat.
MR. WRIGHT SPEAKS AGAIN.
The radical papers were loud in commenda
tion of the Hon. H. IL Wright's late war speech;
in answer to Mr. Vallandigham. They called
upon the whole country to listen to and heed his
words. Mr. Wright has spoken again, and this
time upon the proposition to raise a negro army
of 150,000 men. Here is a sketch of the debate:
Mr. Wright, (D ) of Pennsylvania, said this
Government and the Union were the result of
compromises. lii concession and compromise it
had its birth. The very day the declaration
went forth to the colonies from Independence
flail, there wan compromise sad concession
From that period down to 1850 such a p..i.cy
pteve..eu the 1:11.11V1.1 wits 1.14_u.1•4 V.“ • at.
compromise of the great aud ruling spirits of.
the laud—Croy, Webster, Calhoun, and utners,
meeting together for that purpose. Were gentle
, men here lees wise than those men? If ever there
wos a time in the history of the country when
concession aud - comprotnise should be exhibited
it was now. The enactment of a measure repo!
sive to the seninneut of a large mass of the
people might produch such a state of affairs that
we, some morning, !Ingot wake to find we have
uu Government , n existence. [.l. voice —" Yes,
we will.') Mr Wr.gt.. hoped nu:, from his
heart tie was willing to ulnae o,i.y
sacrifice. Now, let the other side of the chett.her
show a corresponding disposition. .If gentlemen
.112 , re would all agree upon a basis of compromise ;
as to the conduct of this war, it would not last
three mouths. He opposed the bill, because, 1
among other re.,sone, it would produce alemoru
li.tation, and the soldiers of the army had said ,
to him, if black men are sent to them, they will I
regard it as a condemnation of their continct,
and leave the service if they can. How far this
Aeling extends he was not able to say.
Mr. Moorehead., (Rep.) of Pennsylvania, asked
whether this information came from Pennsylva
nia soldiers ?
Mr. Wright replied in the affirmative. He
heard so to-day.
Mr. Moorehead. I would like to know their
names.
Mr. Wright said that others talked the same
way, and they were as patriotic as the gentle.
man and himseif.
Mr. McPherson, (Rep.) of Pennsylvaaia, re
marked that since this bill had been tinder con
sideration to-day, he had been called on by a
captain—a gallant man, who had been in various
battles—to say that he would render what service
he could, should this measure become a law.
Washington, llenry, and others or the BeTeltl-
Lion, and distinguished statesmen, in the late,
and patriots during the present, war had favored
the negroes as allies.
Mr. Wright, resuming, said the white Anglo—
Saxon race wan capable of taking care of iLaelf
but, if we have not pewee to maintain our poi-.
Lion, negroes cannot help us out of the difficulty.
They were not reliable in the military service.
He believed that, by a reconstruction of the
Cabinet and the restoration of Gen. McClellan
to the army, the country could be saved. [AL
this point applause burst forth in a heavy volume
from the galleries,•accompanied by a stamping
of the feet and clapping of the hands.]
The Speaker said that if such disorder was
repeated, he would order the galleries LO be
cleared,
Mr. Wright said that McClellan was not a
favorite of his. He had never advocated him
here; but he believed that no other General in
the army embodied the feelings and sentiments
of his troops. If you went to carry victory on
your arms, you moat have a commander in whom
the army have confidence. It, was idle to talk
about victory with a demoralized army. Mc-
Clellan, he repeated, was the heart of the Ame
rican army, and should be placed in command.
[The galleries again broke forth in applause, but
eumewbat suppressed, in consequence of the
Speaker's admonition, which was now repeated.]
Mr. Wright, resuming, said—Let the President
make a new and mixed Cabinet, representing
the two great parties of the country; restore
Gen. McClellan to command, and call for two
hundred thousand men, who would rush to his
standard in an instant. Addressing the Repub
licans, he said—You must abandon some of your
ultra notions or we are gone. We have got to
compromise. Abandon the proposition to bring
negroes into the army, or we are lost.
What have the radicals to say to this! Is Mr.
Wright the same sound and patriotic statesman
they pronounced him a few days agog

METIERS.
OR Thursday morning, May or WANNER formally rimm
ed the duties of his office, which have been so satisfactorily
attended to, daring his absence in the Military terries of
the country, by acting Mayor MOKMORT.
Mayor llicKsionr, after going through the usual routine
heathens, retired from the official chair, and addressed
Mayor WANZtra as follows:
Bajor Wanner—l now desire to resign this cfficeto you,
which was reluctantly acceptel at your request when yen
so patriotically responded to the wished of your fellow
citizens to till a position in the Regiment, tilled principally
by men from our city end neighborhood. In doing, so. I
return to non my sincere &banns for the unexpected preter
ites!) which von made in your choice to Oil the place, and
also to the Select and Common .Councils, who unanimously
and generously confirmed your nomination.
From my experience while in office, it is gratifying for
Me to sag, that you have raised the standard of this office
far above that, which it heretofore has bad. Your conser
votive course—your impartial adiuMietratiou of Jastice
to all the citizens—your appointment of otticem,compomot
and faithful—the talent displayed by you, has made the
Mayor the Chief Executive of our Municipal Corporation.
He merits the reenact and confidence of our citizens, which
well accorde with the important position he holds.
I have bad no occasion to make any changes le your ap•
pointmente. Our efficient Chief of Police, together with
those under Ids command, With all of whom my inter
course has been most pleasant) bavediecharged their duties
promptly and faithfully, and well deserve the thanks of
oar community.
Many personal friends have requested me to permit my
name to be used at the coming Spring Election for the office
of Mayor. This I have thee far declined, owing to the
private business demands on my time. Should my present
inclination be abandoned, and beindnced to become itean
atd..te, it will only be with the express anderetindlog that
you do not desire the position and that Mahal be free from
all party nomination. / can b yi no means be trammeled by
political appointments, and most be free to administer the
office independently and do strict Jamie, to all citizens,
I aow return to you the seals of office, and deliver to
your eare the ad ministragon of our oily affairs, knowing
the Iffillitjust and impartial action will guide you in future
as it bat done in the peat.
MAYOR WANNER'S REPLY.
Mr. Mayor: I tender yon my sincere acknowledgments
for the high expressions of regard which you entertain in
my behalf, and let me mantra )on that you are entitled to
my warmest thanks for the able, disinterested and Macieut
manner In which you comincted the affairs of the city op•
pertaining to the ogice of Mayor, daring my absence.
Yon. took charge of the o Like at a critical time—at a time
when excitement rem high in your midst about the war;
yet, you together with your °Moen preserved the good or
der of the city—the result of cool and deliberate action in
the performance of your duty..
t have read your message which yon presented to Conn•
cite, and most heartily approve of the game, hoping that
Councils wilt take early steps to carry out the useful
measures you recommend to their deliberations.
The conservative view, which yonentertaln in regard la
the discharge of your duties as Chief Magistrate of the oily,
deserve toy highest, commendation, believing that to be the
true coarse of every officer and citizen daring the present
critical state of our beloved country.. "United westand—
divided we tall." Conservatism alone can prodneethe hap
py results, and lam glad to say that such a feeling prevails
strongly in oar noble army—the actual power of the nit.
lion ; and if stimulated with a similar feeling with them at
home, we may hope that a speedy peace will be realized
from the result, and happiness and comfort restored to
thew who suffered deprivations and want for theireonntry:
In conclusion, accept my thanks for your kindness.

idea of at what trouble and cost a daily newsra
