THE DUB GIN. TEKRILL.—An interesting
obituary notice of the late Brigadier General
WILLIAM R. Tunatu.—originally published, we
believe, in the New York Times—will be found
on the first page of this week's paper. It is a
well deserved tribute to the personal worth, pro
fessional abilities, and self-sacrificing bravery of
as true a soldier as ever laid down his life for
his country. The many Mende here who mourn
his untimely drath, will find a saki pleasure in
reading this biographical sketch.
DRAPE( or Gan. JOHN Watotran.—Wo regret to
learn that Gen. JOHN WEIDMAN, of Lebanon, died
at his residence in that borough, on Thursday,
the 234 ult., aged 48 years, 7 months and 29
days. Ifis funeral took place on Monday last,
with military honors, and was attended by mem
bers of the Masonic Order and by a large number
of mourning friends.
Gen. WRIDDIAN was the eon of the late Jacob
B. Weidman, Esq., a distirtguished lawyer of
Lebanon county. He was educated at Princeton
College, and afterward passed a regular course
of study in Medicine at Jefferson College, Phila
delphia. The practice of Physic, however, was
distasteful to him, and he entered upon the study
of the Law in his father's office, and w as dul y
admitted to the Bar. Be practiced for some
years with great success in his native county of
Lebanon, and in the Supreme Court of the State,
where his excellent judgment and eminent legal
abilities were held in the highest estimation, not
only by that portion of the - legal profes
sion having opportunities to witness his efforts,
but by the Judges of that high tribunal ; and by
none more than by the late distinguished Chief
Justice Gibson. Ile took a lively interest in
public affairs, but, although among the most
active and prominent members of the Democratic
party, he never sought or held an office, except
that of District Attorney of Lebanon county, to
which he was elected, several years ago, on the
strength of his personal popularity, when every
other candidate on the ticket with him was de—
feated_
The dem,. id always had a fondness for mill.
tary affairs, and about ten years ago, was elected
Brigadier General of the 2d Brigade, sth Division
Penna. Volunteers. Before the expiration of his
term as District Attorney, the rebellion broke
ant, when, almost alone and unassisted, he mind
a Company of Cavalry for three years' service,
which was accepted by the Government, and as
aigned to the Army of the Potomac. He partic
ipated with his Company in the battles of the
Peninsula under McClellan, and also in the
campaign in Maryland. After a service of more
-than a year, be contracted fife disease which
obliged him to resign Me commission, and of
which he died. It was not, however, until hie
oldest son (a younger being already distinguish
ed in the Navy) had entered oi' was about to en
ter the service as Major in one of the drafted
regiments, that he could be persuaded to lay
aside his sword, and retire to hie peaceful awl
happy home in Lebanon.
Gen. Weruwas was a man of the most gener
ous and noble impulses. In every relation of
life, he exhibited a suavity of manner and a high
sense of honor that won upon the hearts of
friends, and commanded the respect of all. Ar
dent in his attachments, sincere in his friend—
Alps, and pure in permit character, he was,
take him for all in all, one of Nature's true
Noblemen. lie leaves a fond wife, an interesting ,
family of children, and a large circle of friebs,
to mourn the loss of as kind a husband, as fond
is father, and as beloved a citizen as ever lived
to dignify and adorn humanity.

LOYALTY
This word was used in the days of the Revo
lution, to signify adherence to the cause of the
idiot King, Ideorge 111. of England. It line
again come into common use with a portion of
t.he• American people, to exprtss their souse of
the duty that the citizen owes to the Government.
Webster, iu his Dictionary, defines its meaning
thus:
"LOTALTY, n. Fidelily to o prince or sovcr
eign, or to u husband or lover."
This is the only definition that is given; and
hence the use of the word with reference to the
obligations of a citizen of this country to his
Government, is obviratly improper. It expres
ses a sentiment, not a principle or rule; and
means simply, attachment or devotion to the
person of the superior; a duty which, we need
scarcely Say, is foreign to our political system.
No personal fidelity to President. or Governor is
due from any American citizen, because these
officers are the mere instruments through which
the people put. in execution their own wilt, as
embodied itt constitutions and laws, and their
superiors only by virtue of the official trust they
are temporarily chosen to administer. No one
who holds office in the gift of the people's chief
servant, the President, is reqnired to give a
pledge of "loyalty " to him. The oath pre
scribed in every such vase, is to support the Con
stitution and laws, and to discharge the duties
of his office with fidelity. Be owes no duty or
service whatever to the President individually.
This may seem to be mere caviling to those who,
perhaps unthinkingly, are in the daily practice
of using the word in question. But, when we
remember the terse saying of a distinguished
philosopher, that "words are thing*" perhaps
our objections may not he as frivolous as they
appear. If we reflect, that familiarity with the
representative of an idea soon predisposes the
mind to accept the idea itself, we will find a suf
ficient reason for disliking the use of the word
loyalty, as at present applied. If, as the over
zealous adheren•s of the present. Administration
—the office hl!dders, contractors, and their de
pendents, have us to believe, We
are bound to regard the President as the Gov
ernment, and to yield implicit, unquestioning
obedience teall his dicta, in the shape of orders,
proclamations, Se.;—if we must. acquiesce in,
eonsent to, and even applaud, all his acts, how
ever arbitrary, unwarranted and unconstitutional
they may be, in our judgment—if we must make
the exercise of our personal and political rights
dependent upon his will said pleasure, instead of
upon fixed fundamental law whiclt is to oblige
tt,ry upon hint as it is upon the humblest eitizeti.
—if, in short, we are to accept the monarchical
dogma of the "Divine right of Kings," and its
corollary, "the King ban do no wrong," then
indeed loyalty becomes our imperative duty, and
disloyalty seditious and treasonable. But, thanks
to the spirit of freedom that still Bets in the
breasts of the American people, they have not.
yet been intimidated into slavish submission to
arbitrary power, whether exercised by Presiden
tial edict or by the more demonstrative exhibi
tion of Military dictatorship. The same sturdy
love of independence that nerved our fathers
to throw off the yoke that oppressed them in the
days of '7G, and establish the right of 'self
government, survives in their children, and will
be sufficient, we hope and pray, to protect them
from the encroachments and assumptions of
those who, upon the plea of " military neces
sity," are using all the means that the temporary
administration - of the Government gives them, to
subvert our free institutions, and substitute for
them a consolidated central government, based
upon the idea of abject, submission to "the
powers that be." The only supreme authority
they recognize, is that of the Constitution and
Laws of their own making. These constitute
the Government, which they are bound to sup
port.. Fidelity to them is their highest and most
sacred duty; while loyalty to the persons of
those who administer them, is a spurious test,
set up by designing men to entrap them into the
surrender of their dearest. constitutional rights.
Liberty is a more ennobling' sentiment, and fitter
to be cherished by Americans, than the foreign,
eouttl, feeling of toyeliy. It is more than that
—it is a precious reality, which cannot he too
jealously guarded; or too stoutly maintained
against every, even the smallest, encroachment,
such as that which lurks under the fair sound
ing but inapplicable ward whose use we have
deprecated
WRECK OF TUE STEAMER. AM:Le-SA:CWT.—The
British steamer Anglo Saxon, bound to Quebec,
from Liverpool and Londonderry, from which
latter port she sailed on the 3 ith ult., was wrecked
in a dense fog four miles off Cape Race on Mon
day last, at noon. She had four hundred and
forty-four persons on board, of whom three hun
dred and sixty were passengers, and of whom
two hundred and thirty-seven are supposed to
have"been lost.
The Anglo• Saxon is the twentieth vessel
wrecked since the establishment rig steam navi
gation on the Atlantic, and it is somewhat re
markable that the line to which she belonged has
lost no less than six steamers since 1857. The
rapidity with which she went down proves that
the damage .must have been irremediable; for
within one hour after she struck, her deck broke
np. Under the circumstances it may be regarded
as fortunate that so many were saved.
THE Two-Yuaits' VOLUNTEERIL—The two
years' New-York Troops whose term of service
has expired, comprise thirty-eight regiments,
but only include about 12,000 men, so that the
actual loss to the army by the withdrawal of
these regiments is not very large. Hooker has
still a much larger force than McClellan had in
his march against Richmond. Ten regiments of
the nine-months men from this State are also to
be paid Mt and mustered out of service during
the present month.
METAL-TIPPED SHOES.—Shoe: are an impor
tant item in the expense of clothing children, as
every parent will understand. They invariably
wear out their shoes at the toe first, and not un
frequently before the other parts are a quarter
worn. Children's shoes with Metal tips never
wear out at the toe, and it is safe to say that on
an average one pair with them will more than
out-wear three pairs without them. We believe
all the shoo dealers keep them.
STATE SCHOOL SUPERMTENDENT.--.-GOT. Curtin
has appointed Charles 11. Coburn, S Bradford
cotnty, State Superintendent of Public Schools,
in place of llon. Thos. 11. Burrowes, whose term
has expired• Mr. B. has made a remarkably
efficient officer, and his re-appointment was earn
estly desired by the friends of education, without
respect to party but as be was attspeated of
Democratic sympathies, the " no-party" politi
cians demanded his removal, and the appoint
ment of a rabid Abolitionist in his stead.
A CALL FOR MCCLELLAN.—A member of the
93d recently wrote to a friend at Lebanon :
" Give us General McClellan and we will fight
every battle over again from Williamsburg to
Fredericksburg, and do it better than ever we did.
Take this army to Fair Oaks and give ns Little
Mac,' and we will go to Richmond. Ile is the
man we want., and he is the man who will be
President of the United States if .sßldiers have
anything to say. Old Abe was down to see us,
but we ell would Dooner sec General McClellan.

Ms. GEM—Your rettuero will recollect that
in the Gazette of April it h, 1 accused the editor
of the Journal with having. &Ale the 'Mexican
War, in substance denounced President Pull; as a
murderer Of hundreds and thousands ei free born
American Soldiers, Ste., and challenged Lim to
quote front the Gazette any criticism, concerning
Lincoln's Abolition Administration, which Ito
might consider even one• fourth as venomous and
malignant as the Journal's denuneintien of Presi
dent Polk, and place them side by side in his
paper.. This he has refused to do, as was lo.be
expected. No doubt lie feared an exposition of
his inconsiatency and hypocrisy to his readers,
so that they will hardly ever get a eight of that
infamous production,
During the Mexican War, the Toterna/ claimed
the right (and exercised it also, as has already
bees stma) to censure President Polk's Demo
eeatic Administration in the most independent
manner and severest terms. Now this same ed
itor denounces as Teries, Traitors and Copper
heads, all such as differ with President Lincoln's
Abolition Administration, and who feel called
upon to criticise and repose his unconstitutional
acts. This self-righicons editor even now persists
in the accusation against President Polk, that
he had been guilty of a " treasonable am," be—
cause he did not obstruct Santa Ana's return to
Mexico. Nothing more wicked and detestable
was war Invented to injure an honest and upright
Executive; but what eared the pions and moral
editor then, and what cares he now, so that he
can effect lasting injury or the destruction of the
object of his hatred. As scone of your readers
may have forgotten the circumstances attending
(be " Santa Ana Nes," I will introduce some of
President, Polk's reasons, substantially, for not
interfering with Santa Ana's return to Mexico,
which can be found in his message to Congress,
Dec. 8, 1848, and which cannot fail to remove
from tiny unprejudiced mind the idea of *Presi—
dent Polk ever having kora guilty of a " treason
able act," •
Shortly before the war with Mexico commenc
ed, Gen. Paredes, who was known to be bitterly
hostile to the. United States, became the head of
the Mexican Government. It was certain, that
no change whatever in that Government, would
be for the worse, so far as the United States were
concerned, while it was highly probable that. any
change must be for the better. As the war had
been commenced by the Government of Paredes,
it became an object of much importance, with a
view of a speedy settlement of our difficulties,
and the restoration of an honorable peace, that
Paredes should not retain power in Mexico. San
ta Ana had been banished from his country by
a revolution in 1844 ; still he had a considerable
party in his favor in Mexico. As he had openly
professed an entire change of policy ; expressed
his regret that he had subverted the federal con
stitution of 1824, and was new in favor of its
restoration ; it was reasonable to suppose that it
would be his interest, to favor peace. Under these
circumstances and upon these considerations, it
was deemed expedient not to obstruct his return
to Mexico, should he attempt to do so. Our ob
ject was the restoration of peace; and with that
view no reason was perceived why we should
take part with Paredes and aid hint by means of
our blockade iu preventing the return of his
rival to Mexico. On the contrary, it was believed
that the intestine divisions, which ordinary Be
guile could slot but anticipate as the fruit. of
Santa Ana's return to Mexico, and his contest
with Paredes, might strongly tend to produce a
disposition with both parties to restore and pre
serve peace with the United States.
The reader will not fail to perceive, that the
object of President Polk was a noble and praise
worthy one, namely ; a rec.ration qf peace ; and
would to God the some eoudd With truth he said
of the present Abolition Administration. When
the overthrow and imprisonment of Paredes, and
the arrival at Vera Cruz of Santa Ana was an—
nounced through our papers, there existed a
universal belie that Santa Ana favored peace,
because when he reached Vera Cruz he expres
sed a desire that the war between Mexico and
the United States might be brought to a speedy
close. And yet this pious sob - tenet of the Journal
editor persists in his slander and vilification of
no pure minded a man as ever lived, lie re—
minds me of the fellow who said that he had seen
a horse 18 feet high, and after again being ques
tioned touching the horse's heighth, he declared
that if he had said 18 feet high it was so—having
once uttered a falsehood lie will stick to it.
President Polk's motive was pure, but it cannot
he disguised that he, as well as thousands of
others who were anxious for peace, were deceived
by the declarations of Santa Ana. So much for
the so-called " treasonable act" of President
Polk.
If it, was proper and just in the Journat , to de
nounce President Polkas a Murderer of hundreds
and thousands of free born American Soldiers for
I his so called '• mismanagement," of the Mexican
war, what does President Lincoln deserve to be
Called for the miserable "mismanagement" of
the present war, commencing with the rejection
of the Crittenden Compromise, which, if the
President had favored, would have prevented
the rebellion and the slaughter of thousands and
tens of thousands of our best citizens. The Journal
will not deny that President Lincoln is justly to
be charged with the defeats we have unfortunate
ly sustained, commencing with Bull Run, Ball's
Bluff, Big Bethel, Fredericksburg and so on to
Charleston ; because he is responsible for every
order that is promulgated from Head Quarters at
Washington. Those who are placed at the beads
of the Departments hold their offices at Ms plea
sure His responsibility, therefore, like his au
thority, is absolute. •
The editor coolly awl Unblushingly declares
that "no one complains, and no arrests are made
because the tories (democrats) of the present day
find fault with the President or his Cabinet."
Has the editor already forgotten his declaration
made a short thee ago, that if you wish to dis
eoverA traitor in heart, .c.,4 junt, ask your fgan
what he thinks of the President's Proclamation?
Is this not an expression of censure? Yes, to be
branded as a traitor because a man differs with
the President.
Again, did not the Journal some time since
murk'"? (probably it was his pious and moral ad
junct,) that such a paper an the Reading Adler
should be tolerated itt our midst, because said
Adler stigmatized with the most contemptuous
and degrading epithets the President's measures ;
and because said Adler denounced the President
as an Abolitionist; and furthermore, because
every sentence in an editorial or said Adler was
calculated to bring the Chief Executive (Meer of
the nation into contempt, &c., and after having
uttered these, together with sundry other com—
plaints, this saint calls upon the relatives of the
martyrs to liberty, to look at the Adter office and
you will see a rebel magazine and a nest of tral—
tors in your midst, &c. Does indeed "no one
complain?" This latter appeal wan calculated
and no doubt intended to incite the hell houndpor-
Lion of the Tournans party (the fellows who
"never think an honest thought") to an attack
upon the Adler office:- But woe to the Journal
office if an assault is made as shadowed forth
some time ego in its columns.
" are made, 4c.—So says the jour
nal. Everybody who reads the same knows bet•
ter, but the editor roust have an idea that, if any
.thing is denied by himself or his immaculate part
ner, it will be received as gospel by his party
friends. It is only necessary to name one, in
the person of Charles loge-Noll, fisq., of Philadel
phia. Who dews net Itec.. that he was arrested
for branding President Aiadit,:on Ad
ministration as it deserved 7 And yet according
to the Journal no arrests are made. It sounds
something like President Lincoln's "Nobody's
hurt," and contains just about as much truth.
Dozens of persons might be named who were
arrested and released after weeks and months'
confinement in forts, bastiles, &c., without ever
having been tried. Probably the Journal re
collects that the editors of the Patriot enion,
Harrisburg, were arrested and imprisoned in
Washington, and discharged after about two
weeks' confinement,—nobody appearing against
them. It strikes me forcibly that The editor of
the Journal was highly elated when he published
an account of their seizure by armed soldiers.
Another arrest happened at Philadelphia, the
particulars of which are no doubt in possession
of the pious and moral adjunct of the Journal. I
have reference to the case of Col. David Renno,
formerly front this county, wh was on a visit to
his native Edam After an imprisonment of a
number of weeks at Philadelphia and Fort La
fayette he was discharged without ever having
had a hearing, •although he was anxious to be
examined. Besides being imprisoned, he was
at an expense of about $3OO. some of which
be stated found its way into the pockets of Uni
ted States officers.
lu conclusion, I would again most respectfully
ask the editor of the Journal, for the edification
of his readers, to reproduce the article quoted by
ine in the Gazette of April 4th—originally pub
liabcd in the Aurnal during the Meitteen War_
am/ to anew it io appear in nest Saturdays'
edition. together wish the must violent strictures
on the Lincoln Abolition Administrati n, which
ever appeared in the Gazette—or eve,ii in the
Adler, which the saint would glory to see demol
ished. The Journal. of Feb. 28th, contained
quite a number of extracts, taken, its the editor
says, from his paper published during the Mcxi
can War, to prove that he was not it Copperhead
at that limo. Then why not. also publish the
article alluded to? It would not occupy more
than about 12 or lo lines. X.
