DXXOORATIC PIiOSPZCTB is 01110.—A gentle
man who claims Barks as his but
who has resided in Hamilton county, Ohio, for
so many years as to have become a thorough
"Buckeye," took offence at our course in the
Presidential campaign of 1860, and discontinued
Ids subscription to the Gazette. In a letter,
dated 13th inst., however, he orders us to send
him the paper again, and with a frankness that
does him credit, acknowledges that the princi
ples we advocated in that campaign were right.
With regard to politics in Ohio, he gives us the
following encouraging information:
"If the polls will not be gagged by the Mili
tary in Ontober next—(and most terrible will be
she consequences should they attempt this)—
Mr. Vallandighein will certainly be elected Gov
erner of Ohio. The vilifying, falsifying, slan
dering and general misrepresentation of his
position, on the part of the Abolition papers and
speakers, are beginning to manifest the happiest
influence in big favor, causing daily accessions
to his numerous and zealous friends."
LIE AGAIN NORTH OF THE PoToWAC :—STAWF
=Ha Eneowr I—The Philadelphia Bulletin of
/ad evening, eentains the following startling re—
port, but we do not credit it:
Tim Mom or Ti' POTOXAO. — A private letter
from a public officer, written at Washington day
before yesterday, and received in this city last
evening, stated that Leo was again north of the
Potomac, heavily reinforced and threatening
Pennsylvania. No confirmation or contradic
tion of this report has been allowed to come by
telegraph from Washington; but it cannot be
inn, or we should have heard of It from the
tmrder.
THE REBELLION.
The losses of the Rebels in Major General.
Grant's Department, since the landing of hie
Army at Grand Gulf, Mississippi, May 1, 180,
are officially stated as follows :
Loss in men up to May 18 40,000
Prisoners taken at Vicksburg, July 4.... 31,000
Total 71,000
Citizen prisoners 5,000
1,500 of whom are women and children. •
Prisoners, sick and wounded 12,220
Do. fit for duty 18,000
Tents captured 4,000
Mules captured 1,50 C
Horses captured 1,000
Freight Cars captured 200
Locomotives captured
Large siege guns captured 180
Field pieces captured 161
Rounds of ammunition . 300
Stands of small arms 36,000
Shot guns, Ac., Ac 30,000
Value of public property captured from sl o ,°
000,000 to $16,000,000.
These losses are tremendous; and when we
add to them, say 8,000 killed, wounded and cap
tured by Gen. Banks at Port Hudson; 2,200
killed, wounded and captured in the resent bat.
tle at Helena; 3,000 of Itlorgan's band killed or
oaptured.in Ohio; and Lee's loss during the late
invasion of Maryland and Pennsylvania, not less
than 30,000—making a total rebel loan Witbin
three months of 114,000—it seems impossible
that, without some unforeseen and inexcusable
blunder on the part of the War Department, the
rebellion can long survive. It may, perhaps,
feebly protract the struggle for another year, if
no overtures for an honorable peace are mag
nanimously made on our part; but, if the Ad
ministration at Washington were true to the
solemn trust committed to it, and sincerely de
sirous of ending the war upon the single and
only constitutional condition of a restoration of
the Union as it was, we really believe that peace
might be secured within three months. The
great misfortune of the country is that both the
legitimate Administration at Washington, and
the usurped Administration at Richmond, do not
represent the true feelings and sentiments of the
people. They are now, if the truth were known,
strongly in favor of peace and restoration,
" with all the dignity, equality and rights of the
several States, under the Constitution, unim
paired;" but their rulers, on the one aide led by
blind fanaticism, and on the other by unholy
ambition, have closed their eyes to the real glo
ry, honor and interest of the country, and are
stubbornly bent on protracting this self•destruo
Live war ,to the point of utter exhaustion and
ruin. It must be self-evident that the support
ers of Jeff. Davis are not. now fighting for the
good of the Southern people, or for the preserva•
Son of republican institutions, but for the selfish
purpose of perpetuating their own power. And
it. has become painfully apparent that our own
Government at Washington, instead of confining
itself to the only lawful and justifiable object of
preserving the Union with the existing Consti
tution, have perverted the war into a fierce
sectional struggle, in which the extinction of
slavery is their paramount aim, and the re
storation of the old Union, as our forefathers
formed it, a mere secondary consideration--
a struggle which, if persisted in, can only term
inate with the extinction of the whole South
ern population, and the subversion of free, con
stitutional government at the North.
This is the time—none could be more favora
ble—for the people North and South (who, thank
Heaven, are yet sovereign, if they will only exer
cise their power) to rise in their might, and by
their voice, which must be potent, if unanimous,
force their maddened rulers to close this cruel,
unnatural and suicidal war, and restore the old
order if - t hings ; None but the contractors who
are growing rich Millie ruin of the country, and
the thieves who are daily robbing the treasury,
can. wish the war to continue. None but the
most crazy fanatics, the most perfidious traitors
or the most wickedly ambitious, can desire a
Government different, t from or better than that
established , StEages and statesmen of a
formii to tY..„, That government—the
best Alt heiniinViredem ever framed, under.
which the Amirican people grew and prospered
for eighty years, as no people ever did before—
can be restored in less than six months, if the
people, with one voice, will earnestly demand it.
SOUND DOCTRINE.
The Portland Argus thus discOurses upon the
" draft :"
We have hoped, we still hope—almost be
lieve, that this conscription business will be
given up—the men never called for, and that
voluntary enlistment with liberal bounties will
be substituted for it. Since the recent gloriou s
successes at our arms, we believe it might be
successfully done, and more men promptly ob
tained than by conscription. Still, if the au
thorities persist, we counsel all to offer no resist
ance other than to bring the matter before the
courts. The courts and the ballot box afford the
only lawful remedies for unconstitutional or
unwise enactments, and good, law-abiding citi
zens will resort to no other. Violent resistance
to officers of the law, is mob violence. It leads
to anarchy and its untold horrors. To avoid
this, it is far better to bear evils, for a time, and
even injustice. Every good citizen will accept
this counsel as on the whole the part of wisdom,
and wilt act accordingly. Let us have no mobs
in Maine. but let us ease the unequal burdens of
conscription as teach as possible by town and
city aid, and then sweep away the whole concern
by repealing all the authors of it through the
ballot-box at the very earliest opportunity. That
is the right way to meet it."
The sentiments contained in the above para
graph are worthy of a place in every Democratic
newspaper in the country. The Democratic
party is the party of law and order, and in -no
instance has it ever counseled resistance to the
constituted authorities of the land. The ballot is
the weapon to slay all monsters in the path of
liberty and law. - Let the conscription be fairly
tested by the Courts, and let the authors of the
conscription be met at the polls by the sweeping
denunciation of the indignant masses. The
evils which are now upon us had better be borne
in patience, until the time comes, through the
instrumentality of the ballot-box, to hurl from
power the bad men who are now disgracing the
high places of the Covernment.—The Age.
- A NOMINATION "FIT TO BE Mann."—The
Democratic party of Pennsylvania has never
made a nomination-that has been more cordially
welcomed and endorsed by the people than that
of Judge WooDwann. The feeling among them
is universal and confident to a degree that will
admit of no particle of doubt, that he is em
phatically UM man for the times; possessing, as
Mr. Carnes, his principal competitor for the
nomination, frankly declared in his speech be
fore the Convention; "shoulders broad enough,
head stout enough, and brain big enough," to
meet any emergency. Everybody who is at all
acquainted with him recognizes the ability of
his mind and the purity of his character. With
such a man placed in the -Executive chair, the
long-needed reform in the management of our
State affairs, for which every honest citizen, of
whatever party, has sighed, would soon be ao
complished; and good old Pennsylvania would
be restored to the dignity and influence she held
when governed by suolt pure statesmen as Mu ,
FLIS, lllcgsAE, SIMAII. and Snuan.
No Douar or ht.—A ootemporary believes
that if all the returned soldiers bad been paid
Mr promptly, the national cause would be etrong
er to-day in Pennsylvania by 10,000 disciplined
troops than it now is.
NEGROES AS SUBSTITUTES.
Colonel J. V. Bomford, Proved Marshal Gen
eral of Pennsylvania, has decided that " Any
man who is an equivalent for the person drafted,
may be received as a substitute. but a negro, un•
der existing lairs, is not a military equivalent for a
white man." We should like to know where
Bomford gets his authority for this decision.
The Conscription Law certainly makes no such
distinction between blacks and whites, for both
are subject to enrollment and draft, under pre
cisely the same regulations. And, after the
reigning Abolition administration has, in a thous.
and ways, committed itself to the doctrine of
negro equality, and boldly avowed its determi
nation to carry on the war until this doctrine is
enforced over the whole country—(for proof, see
Mr. Lincoln's 4th of July speech at Washington)
--it appears to be a gross inconsistency for any
of its subordinates to declare that " a negro is
not a military equivalent for a white man."
Bomford is behind the age. Ile evidently holds
to some lingering remnant of the antiquated
(Sumner would say " barbario ") notion that bad
possession of the minds of the fathers of the
republic, namely, that this was intended to be a
government for white men. But the progressive
spirit of the new dispensation of Seward, Lin
coln, Phillips, Beecher, Cheever, Greeley, et id
genus omne, has changed all that. They are
wiser and better men than George Washington,
Thomas Jefferson, John Hancock, Benjamin
Franklin, and their contemporaries of the olden
time, and know a great deal more about the true
principles of government, than did all those old
fogies who thought they had accomplished a
great work when they framed the Constitution of
the United States. Bomford must retract, or he
will be arraigned for "disloyalty " and "sym
pathy with slave-holding traitors," and dis
missed, under Burnside's "Order No. 38," for
discouraging enlistments
Bomford may have proceeded under the erro
neous idea that he ought to pay some respect to
our State Constitution, which does not recognize
a negro to be a citizen, and our State military
law, which says the militia shall be compiled of
able-bodied White citizens. But he ought to
know better than that. What are State Count
tutions to the Dictatorial Power that now holds
sway at Washington, and substitutes its own will
even for the Federal Constitution, which it sol
emnly swore to support? The Conscription law
is, and was intended so to be, a complete nullifi
cation of the constitutiouitl rights of the States
to control the raising and organizing of their
own Militia; and so far as the War Power is
concerned, reduces them to the grade of mere
provincial governments. It Boland Idahoe to
serve his superiors faithfully, he must dismiss
all scruples about State rights and State author
ity, and recognize no allegiance but to the per.
son of Lincoln and his Military establishment.
The question whether a white man will be
considered a "military equivalent" for a color
ed man, is not officially decided. But, as ne
groes have the preference over white men under
the present Administration, we may suppose that
a white substitute for a black man would be ac
cepted—provided be behaves himself.
"KING MOB."
The Black Republican Journals are just now
very Hero in their condemnations of the recent
terrible mobs in New York, Brooklyn, Newark,
Troy and other places. The Philadelphia Frees
is espeoially eloquent in its denunciations of
"King Mob" and has arrived at the conclusion
that be is assuredly the most exacting among
the tyrants whose sway has desolated nations."
This is all very well and we are glad to see
these papers such zealous converts to the pritrci
pies of " law and order." Better late than
never. We have been in the habit of perusing
the Philadelphia Press regularly ever since its
publication and to our mind no paper has done
more—not half so much, during the past two
years to engender a spirit of riot and encourage
mob violence, as the Press. Over and over again
have its columns contained the moat infamous
appeals to the lower classes under the plausible
cry of "patriotism," to persecute end expel
from their homes leading Democrats of that city.
It proclaimed with a flourish every fresh attack
on a Democratic newspaper and was most un
scrupulous in its efforts to inflame the public
mind and invoke mob violence on those whom it
was pleased to denounce as "disloyal." Every
steady reader of the Press knows these facts
to be true and that it is only of late when the
chickens are "coming home to roost" in the
shape of retaliatory mobs, that this journal be
gins to discover that 'mobs and riots are all
wrong.
We have some of the same olass of people in
this vicinity. Two years ago, when they Imo.
ceeded in hounding on a few ruffians to attack
and injure the property of prominent Democrats
of this community, they thought "King Mob"
was a good fellow. His works were then deemed
to he glorious anti patriotic. Men and women
followed the mob from street to street, shouting
and yelling like so many fiends and clapping
their hands with joy. That was in August,
1861. But in July, 1868, when they see " the
boot on the other leg,"—when Black Republican
Printing Offices become the object of popular
vengeance, when " down with abolitionists" is
the popular cry, when they tremble Tith fear
lest the monster may come to their own doors
and the Provost Marshal deems it necessary to
place a guard around his office, then " King
Mob " is a horrible fiend—then mob violence is
all wrong and they "have always been opposed
to it." Oh, of course they have. It makes a
wonderful difference with some people whose
ox is gored.
We like people to be honest and consistent.
We always have been opposed to ruffianism and
lawless violence and always will be. We con
demned it two years ago and we condemn it now.
The Democrats are a law abiding people and al
though the practical enforcement of an odious
and infamous law may excite resistance and
outbreaks in our densely populated cities, our
frightened Black Republican friends need not
fear that it will become general. As long as
they behave themselves they are in no especial
danger.—Easton Argus.

TESTING TRH CONSTITUTIONALITY OF THIS
DRAPP.—GoTernor Seymour's pledge that the
constitutionality of the draft should be the
, roughly tested, will be fulfilled. A ease, cover
ing all the disputed points, has been made up,
and it is understood will be argued before Judge
Daly, on Monday neat, in the Court of Common
Pleas. The subject would properly come before
the Supreme Court, but as some of the Judges
have committed themselves on it, it was deemed
.more desirable to present it before another
court—all the courts being equally competent to
entertain it. . The decision will then be carried
before the Court of Appeals, which will be ape.
Malty convened for that purpose. If the decis
ion is adverse to the constitutionality of the con
scription law, the government may appeal it to
the United States Court, but during the interval
the draft must be suspended, as writs of habeas
corpus will issue, and be sustained by the whole
authority of the State of New York. In case
the State Courts sustain the law, the draft will
proceed, and persons considering themselves
aggrieved may appeal to the higher courts.--N.
