NUCKALIFW" The capital evils which afflict the nation are, a broken Union ; civil war ; an immense and in. creasing debt ; great and unexampled bitterness in the social relations of men ; and last, but not least, multiplied and grave errors, usurpations and abuses of power by um in public authority. How those evils can be most surely removed, and their recurrence prevented, is the groat, the all-engrossing question which new confronts us and demands reply. The reply is furnished in de‘laring the policy of the Democracy of Pennsylvania—a policy so simple, so just, so perfectly conformed to the PeCeSeitite of the times, that none can misunder stand it, or sincerely question its fitness for the repression of existing evils. That policy is conueoted with a sincere devo• Lion to the laws of the land, and with a deep conviction of the necessity of maintaining them intact and unbrokiit. Those laws consist of the' Constitution and statutes of the United States, and the Constitutions and statutes of the several States, and include much of the common law of England and those legal guarantees of liberty which are the boast of British history. Those laws of the land make up that American system of free government which has insured our pros— perity and given us a high place of honor among the nations of the earth. But those laws have been assailed—that system of free government has been interrupted in its course—the States are broken asunder, and sounds of violence fill the land. .It is timely, then, to inquire, Who have as sailed those laws, and who are now the enemies of reunion and liberty Against whom, against what interests shall the voice of Ude great State be spoken and her power be exerted ? Unquestionably the radical Abolitionists of the North assailed the laws persistently and earnestly for years—by incendiary documents transmitted through the mails, and to excite in surrection in the South ; by seducing negro slaves to abscond from their masters, assisting their escape, secreting them from pursuit, and . by raising mobs to 'Wilt their reclamation. They also created and kept up agitation in Con gress by petitions for unconstitutional laws, and the John Brown raid into Virginia—a mission of rapine and blood—was assisted by their con tributions, and was followed by the canonization .by them of its leader as a saint. Instigated by them, many of the Northern Legislatures en acted statutes to defeat or impede the reclama tion of fugitive slaves under the laws of the United States, thus giving State sanction to the revolutionary spirit. At last the Republican party was founded, and drew most of the Abolitionists into its ranks, and along with them obtained their passions and their fatal dogma that there are laws of the in dividual will higher in obligation than the laws of the land, and that the latter, when they con flict with the former, may be broken without guilt and without reproach. It followed, in due <coulee, that the decision of the Supreme Court of the United States upon negro citizenship and the rights of Southern men in the Territories was denounced, and the acquiescence in it refused by the Republicans, and the validity of any law establishing slavery was denied in their platform adopted at Chicago. They refused to be bound by the law, and their platform was itself a repu diation of the laws, as it denied their obligation. The Abolitionists and the Republican party, are, therefore, first in fault, in breaking away from good faith, duly and law, and their exam ple, and the apprehension,of further acts of ag— gression upon Southern rights by them, pro— voked (although they could not justify) the ex isting greet rebellfon. That rebellion was against the laws of the United States, and put the whole body of them at defiance. Although it asserted for itself a legal ground of justification, it is moat manifest that it was lawless and unauthorized. The com pact of Union, being without limitation of time, must be held, as intended by its authors, to be perpetual, and the provision contained in it for its own amendment, provides the only law ful mode by which its obligation can be limited or changed. Considering secession as a breach of the public law, and in view of the immense interests put in peril by it, this State concurred in measures of hostility against the South. But this was done to vindicate the broken low, and to secure the ebjeote for which the Government of the United States was originally founded, and for no purpose of conquest, of oppression or of fanatical experiment. Upon this ground we may justify our conduct, and submit it, without ap— prehension of censure, to the judgment of future times. But the war has lasted more than two years, and its management, and the measures of legis— lative and executive policy which have accom panied it, have given — occasion for frequent and just complaints. It has been so managed that our armies have been outnumbered where de cisive battles were to be fought, or have been rashly thrown upon impregnable positions of the enemy. Our forces, greatly outnumbering those of the Confederates, have been so dispersed and so handled that their superiority has not deter mined the issue of campaigns, or concluded the contest. After contributing one-fifth of a million of men to the war, our State is insulted by raids, and is made dependent upon the friendship of neighboring Slates for her immediate defence. But it is not the mismanagement of particular military operations, nor other mere errors of policy of our rulers, that has sunk into the hearts of freemen as matter of most deep and enduring complaint. Mere mismanagement or error may be imputed to inexperiente la War, to accident, to exceptional or temporary causes, or* the worst, to incompetency. But what shall be said of the ants of Congress and Rots of the executive in contempt of the Con stitution, which, bearing upon the war, have pro traded it t united the energy, divided our own people, and placed us in a false position before the nations of the earth? The Confiscation Act and the Emancipation Proclamation are, in the opinion of a large part of our people, not only unwise and injurious to our cause, but ulso wholly unauthorized by any principle of-bellig erent or constitutional law. We need go but a little way beyond the doctrine of these measure before vre (include that the torch may be applied to entire towns, and a servile, savage race be let loose to works of rapine and barbaric war. But not merely in the policy of the war—in our relations with the enemy—has illegality, with consequent evil, appeared. In these North. ern States, wholly untouched by revolt, the public sense has been outraged by repeated and flagrant sots of arbitrary power. The enumera *on of Mobs would constitute a volume; and they furnish a premonition of evil in the future which every patriotic mind should view with deep apprehension. How long can the law be habitually and offensively broken by the public authorities, in peaceful and free communities, before resistance will be provoked and a reign of social disorder established? Thus, upon reviewing our affairs, we perceive how the spirit of revolution—that is, of disregard and opposition to law—has worked to our injury, how it presses upon us with a heavy hand at the present moment, and threatens our future wel fare. And we discover also the parties or inter ests who are, in this connection, chargeable with guilt. The picture is dark and gloomy enough to create both abhorrence and fear. Unfortunately there is no certainty of the amendment of affairs .by parties or administra tiotiS now in possession of power. The abolition ist stands implacable and insolent as of old, and gives perverted direction to the war. The Republican party, incapable and prone to abuse, hae control of the Federal Government and of most of the State Governments north and west, and the Confederate Government, inimical to re union, holds position in the South. From none of thee eau we expect the firm establishment of Union, order, liberty and law. We are not to look to the guilty for salvation, nor to those who break the laws for their restoration. The Abolitionist, the Secessionist, and the Republi can Administration and party, have each gone away from the laws of the land, and it is because of their unfaithfulness to duty that wasting war and the other evils before mentioned afflict the country. It is idle to expect from. either the restoration of good government, and a firm Union based upon the affections of the people. But for all the wrong that has been done, and for all the consequent calamities that have fallen upon us, the great majority of the people of the United States are not responsible—at least not responsible in the sense of having intended them, And there can be no question that if that ma jority could now act directly and fully upon public affairs, they would decree immediate peace, union and lawful rule as they existed in former times, and would put down, or put aside, all who would venture to oppose, or would seek to delay, the realization of these great objects. The Ab olitionists proper never commanded a majority, even in the North; the Republican party was in a minority of nearly a million of votes at the Presidential election of 1860; and it is believed that a majority of the Southern people were op posed to secession even after that election, and abandoned their Unionism reluctantly, under the pressure of subsequent events. In point of fact, active, earnest minorities North and South, have seized power and controlled the course of events, and the great mass of the peo ple have appeared to be unable to direct their out destinies and secure their own welfare. They were prepared at the outset of the re bellion to have maintained peace by some settle ment ofexisting difficulties, and if the Crittenden Compromise had been submitted to them it would have been promptly ankglailly accepted. But that occasion was permitted to pass by those who could have improved it. War cauw, and for more than two years a great, intelligent and free people, most earnestly desiring peace, have been slaughtering each other, accumulating enormous burdens of debt to press upon them selves and upon future generations, and have not yet been able to extricate themselves from the difficulties that surround them. What then is the remedy for these evils ? One would think, that he who runs might read it. Surely our experience should light up the road of safety, and cause willing feet to turn away from the paths of error to tread it. The reme dy is, to call to places of power the men who have kept the laws, and to eject from power those who have broken them. The right of suffrage yet ex ists. It has not bean strioken down by military force, and it remains to us as the great instru ment of sovereign power prepared by the care and wisdom of our ancestors not only for pros perous times but also for the days of misgov ernment and calamity. By wisely' exeroieing it, we may yet redeem our fame and secure the fu— ture. The Democracy of Pennsylvania stand upon this necessary and rightful principle of public morals and national redemption: The restoration and the support of all the laws of the land as they were agreed upon between the Mates, or have been enacted by Congress. This excludes all nullifica tion, secession, proclamation law, arbitrary ar rests, abolition mobs, and Chicago platforms. But it is not inconsistent with the repeal or amendment of particular statutes, or with the amendment of the Constitution. The power of amendment is itself a fundamental law, and an invaluable feature of our system. With a good cause, and with candidates worthy of our cause, we stand up once more in this Commonwealth and invoke the favor of the peo ple. Our party has not etrnek at the Constitu tionAtor broken the laws, nor evoked the demon of sectionalism, nor been in any respect unfaith ful to those vows of union which our fathers Pledged to the people of our sister States. The words of faith pronounced on behalf of Pennsyl vania by the Clymere, McKenna and Ingersolls of former times, we have kept, and we intend to keep them in letter and spirit unto the end. What is proposed is, that this State shall, el the coming °leaden, take a front rank in a gen eral movement of the Central States for the re demption of the eettlitet from misrule, and wasting war, and impending bankruptcy, and from utter diagram). New York, New Jersey, Ohio, Indiana and Illinois, and the border States south of these, can stand up with us, and agree with us in uttering the words which will save the future from the grasp of ruin. And let it be said: The sectional . Republican party shall go down —shall be voted out of power. All laws shall be kept, and kept as well by )'resident as by citizen. No proclamation-made Jaw. No arbitrary arrests. CVOL. XXIV - NO. 19. - WHOLE NO. 1983. No Beadles. No suppression of the press or of free speech. No confiscation of private property except for crime judicially ascertained. No emancipation by Federal power, or at the expense of the Federal Treasury. The laws of war shall be observed. The Confederate Government must retire from the scene, and its armies be disbanded or put down. The Confederate debt to be the eoneern of the States which inourred it. . The Union shall be perpetual, and shall be de olared so. The recent legislation of Congress shall be re viewed and corrected. The public debt of the United States shall be honestly paid. . • No duties or /axes except for revenue. A convention of all or Ahree-fourths of the States shall be convened. The Constitution shall expressly provide in the very machinery of government, a power of defence against sectional parties. Reduced to their simplest expression, these declarations signify that we shalyitand to law and duty, and provide against future dangers. And if they, or the substance of them were dis tinctly endorsed and held up to public contem plation by the Statett just Mentioned, can any doubt that the effect produced would be imme diate and extensive and salutary ? The end would then come into view, and its certainty would accelerate events, and give them proper direction. We would have a question of weeks or of months, instead of years or of an indefinite period in reaching the day of relief. And when reached, the atiluetweut of our troubloe would be complete and permanent; differing in both these respects from a result achieved by force alone. It ought not to be our desire, and it is not our interest, to make a Hayti or a Poland of the South. But it is not here proposrd to discuss general ly the question of the war or the question of the reconstruction of the Union, but to present the positions of parties with reference to the princi ple of lawful rule. And the point insisted upon is, that a party faithful to law and duty must take.poseeseion of public power before we can reasonably expect a just and honorable peace, firm reunion and enduring safety. Let this thought sink deeply into the minds of the peo— ple, and they will restore the Democratic party to power, and will put down the guilty and law. less factions who have abused their confidence and betrayed their hopes. JUDGE WOODWARD ON KNOW NOHINGISM. The following covroepondenoe woo publiahed in 1552, during the campaign of that year, when Judge WOODWARD was a candidate for the Su preme Court. It speaks for itself. If any one, after reading it, suspects him of Know-Nothing proclivities, he is too firmly wedded to falsehood to : understand the truth: HON. Geo. W. WOODWARD : Dear Sir:—The undersigned members of the Democratic Party beg leave to call your attention to certain charges now frequently made by the Whig presses, against you, in regard to your views upon the naturalization laws, and alleged hostility to the rights of naturalized citizens. We are aware that you may justly regard your life and conduct in the high station you have oc: cupied, and the boundless confidenee of the Democratic Party which you enjoy, as a oufficient answer to such calumnies. But the charges are intended to operate on and mislead person§ to whom the truth is unknown. We would, therefore, solicit from you an expres sion of your views on the subject, if your time will permit, not doubting that every candid mind will thus be satisfied, , that by no act of your life have you been justly chargeable with having en tertained men or measures favoring illiberal or proscriptive policy toward adopted citizens, on account of the place of their birth or their reli gious opinions. Very respectfully, yours, &0., EDWIN M, STANTON, CMARLES SEMLER, SAMUEL W. BLACK, WM. WILKINS, JAS. Boss SNOWDEN, and others att.DOE WOODWARD'B REPLY. PITTSBURGH, September 14, 1852. Gentlemen:—The official duties Welt brought me to Pittsburgh, keep me constantly engaged. My DAUM** to your letter must therefore be brief. From my earliest youth to this present mo ment, I have been an earnest and hearty sup porter of the Democratic Party, and an equally zealous opponent, so far as my political action could decorously and properly go, of whatever has opposed it. lam not and never have been a "Native American" in any political sense, any more than I am or have been a Whig, Anti mason or an Abolitionist. The charge of "Nativisim " is attempted to be sustained by a motion which I made in the Reform Convention of 1887. That was simply a limitation of a motion made by Mr. Thomas, a Whig member from Chester eonnty, anti was calculated to compel his party (who were in a majority in the Convention,) to come up to the mark or back out. They chose the latter branch of the alternative, and my motion having an swered its purpose, was withdrawn. The sin of introducing the subject into that body lies at the door of a Whig, and not at mine. The speech so often quoted against me, I am not responsible for. It was introduced into the debates by a Whig reporter, in violation of the rules of the body, which required him to submit it for revision before publication, and which he never did. I made some observations explana tory of my amendment of Thomas' motion, but that speech is not a fair report of them. My other speeches were submitted for revision ; this one I never saw till the book was printed, anti I have never ceased to condemn it. During the sesion of the Convention, namely, on tlld 10th day of January, 1838, a member in debate alluded to the motion, not, the speech, as indicative of hostility to foreigners. I promptly denounced the imputation there, in the face of the Convention, as I have done many a time since, as a gross misrepresentation. See debates of the Convention, vel. 10, p. 83, 84. I have retained the undiminished confidence of the Democratic members of the Reform Con— vention, several of whom were adopted °Rhone, and all of them opposed to Nativism. Would this have been possible if the Whig reports of my sayings and doings bad been true ? The Native American party itself is my witness. Seven years ago I was the caucus nominee for United States Senator. The county of Philadelphia Was represented by Natives. They asked me, whether, if elected by their votes, I would favor their measures for changing the naturalization laws. I answered them no, and they threw every vote they could coifimand against me, and raised a about of triumph over their victory. You refer to statements in the Whig papers of this city. One of them was shown me a few days ago, in which was a garbled extract from a letter written by me about a year ago, in which Iropelled the Imputation of Nativism as distinctly as I deny it now. Yet the editor told his read ers that the letter contains an admission that My sentiments were at the time adverse Witte right! of foreign borif Citizens. A copy of the letter thus misrepresented by the Pittsburgh Gazelle, I send you herewith in the Keyalone of Sept. 23d, 1851. When men will allow their political passions to get the better of their veracity an far as to impel them to acts and mations like this, it is easy enough to understand how and why I was mierepepeented by a reporter of the Con vention, whose motives for doing so were just as strong as those which actuate my political opponents now. Another allegation, that I opposed Judge Campbell last:fall. is as false as any other of the nuivaroits znisatatements recently made against me. I never opposed any nominee on account of his birth or religion, and I supported no nomi nee last fall more heartily than I did Judge Campbell. It is with infinite reluctance I appear before the public at this time, oven in self defence. A candidate for a judicial office is, perhaps, more than any other candidate, required to await quietly the decision of the people. lam as sen sible as any man can be, that politics ought to be kept away, as far as possible from judicial elections, but the terms of your letter leave me no choice but to answer. I have answered by giving you briefly the truth. I give it because it is the truth, and I accompany it with no*ap peal to party passion or prejudice. If industrious defamation can succeed in re presenting me as having ever sustained any illi beral or proscriptive Mtn, then the Truth and a life are ppwerless against slander. There are some presses, any many men op posed to me in political sentiments, who are dis posed to treat me fairly, and will not descend to low appliances, to aceomplieh a party purpose. Such men and presses command my respect. Against others who are less scrupulous, I have no shield but the truth and my life; and relying on these, I can afford to await, in patience, the Vordiet Uf the people, Thanking you, gentle men, for the kind feelings manifested in your letter, I am, with great respect, Your obedient servant, GEO. W. WOODWARD. WAR NEWS! THE BOMBARDMENT OP SUMTER. Official Dispatch to,the War Department FLAG STBAMER DINAAIORE, t Off Morris Island, Aug. 18, 1863. lion. GIDEON WELLEs, Secretary of the Navy, Washington, D. C: Sir:—Yesterday was begun another aeries of opergtions against the enemy's works. Early in the morning, Gen. Gillmore opened all hie batteries upon Fort Sumter, firing over Fort Wagner and the intervening space. About the same boar I moved up all the available naval force, leading with my flag in the Weehawken, followed by the Kaatekill, Nahant and Montauk the Passaic and Patapsco in reserve for Fort Sumter. The Ironeidea in position opposite to Fort Wag ner, and the gunboats named in the margin at long range; _Canandaigua, Captain 3. P. Crag ; blahaeka, Com. J. B. Creighton ; Cimmaroon, Com. A. K. Hughes ; Ottawa, Lieut. Cam. W. D. Whiting ; WisLeahiokon, Lieut. Cora. T. L. Davis ; Dai l Chiug, Lieut. Com. J. F. Chapin ; Lidona, Lieut. Coro. E. Brodhead. As the tide rose the Weehawken was dosed to about 450 yards of Sumter, the other three Mo nitore followed, and the Ironsides as near as her great draft of water permitted. After a steady and well directed fire. Wagner was silenced about 9.30 A. M. That of our own vessels was slackened in consequence. Mean while the fire of our shore batteries was work ing effectually upon the gorge of Sumter, which appeared to have been strengthened in every possible manner. At this time the flag was shifted to the Pas laic, which with the Patapsco, both having rifled guns, steamed up the channel until within 2000 yards of Fort Sumter; when their fire was opened on the gorge, angle and south-east point of the work. The Patapsco fired very well, and is believed to have struck the south-east point nine consecutive times. To all this Sumter scarcely replied ; Wagner was silenced, and Battery Gregg alone main tained a deliberate fire on the Passaic and Pa tapsco. It was now noon. The men had been hard at work from daybreak, and needed eask ; so I withdrew the vessels to give them dinner. Boring the afternoon our shore batteries con— tinued the fire at Sumter, with little or no reply from the enemy, and I contented myself with sending up the Passaic and Patapsco to, prevent Wagner from repairing damages: The fort re plied briskly, but in a short time left off firing. I am unable to state with exactness the result of the day's work, but am well satisfied with what a distant view of Sumter allows me. Our entire power is not yet developed, as it will be daily, while the enemy is damaged without being able to repair. The often and men of the vessels engaged have done their duty well, and will continue to do so. All went well with us save one sad exception. Captain Rodgers, my chief of staff; was killed, as well as Paymaster Woodbury, who was eland tag near him. Captain Rodgers bad more than once asked on this occasion if he should go with me, as usual, or resume the command of hie vessel, the Rants kill, oust he repeated the query twice in the morning, the last time on the deck of the Wee hawken, just while preparing to run into action. In each instance, I replied, "Do as yeti choose." He finally said, " Well, I will go in the Kaat skill, and the next lime with yen." The Weekawken was lying about 1000 yards from Wagner, and the Kaatskill, with my gallant friend, just inside of me, the fire of the fort coming on steadily. Observing the tide to have risen a little, I di rected the Weekawken to be carried in closer, and the anchor was hardly weighed when I noticed that the Kaatskill was also under weigh, which I remarked to Captain Calhoun. It oc curred to me that Captain Rodgers bad detected the movement of the Weehawken, and was de termined to be closer to the Timmy if possible. My attention was called off immediately to a position for the Weehawken, and soon after it was reported that the Kaatskill was going out of ac tion, with the signal flying that her captain was disabled. He had been killed instantly. It is but natural that I should 'feel deeply the loss thus sustained; for the close and confiden tial relation which the duties of Fleet Captain necessarily occasioned, impressed tat deeply with the worth of Captain Rodgers. Brave, intelligent and highly capable, devoted to his duty and to the flag under which he pass ed his life, the country cannot afford to lose hash men. Of a kind and generous nature he was always prompt to give relief when he could. I have directed that all respect be paid to his remains, and the country will not, I am sure, omit to honor the memory of one who hes not spared hie life in her hour of trial. I have the honor to be, very respectfully, your obedient servant, JOHN A. DAHLGREN, Rear Admiral, commanding South Atlantic Squadron. filer IT re but the first economic that outs ; all the others naturally follow, bringing along peace, abundance, and joy la the household.
