„hie ppite,
having surrendered in - good faith to the na
tional government, accepting theabrogation
of slavery and repudiating the doctrine of
secession, * were not restored at once,' and
without further e,ondition, to all •the rights
and immunities they enjoyed previously to
the Rebellion, as constituting a sovereign
and independent commonwealth.
The trouble with this gentleman is that
he takes a strictly technical and narrow
view of the case upon which he discourses.
In this respect he falls into an error common
to most kiwyers.• What he needs is to rise
from the low ground of special pleading
into the higher region of genuine • states
manship. Let him do this; if he has capa
cities equal to the , task, then read the Con
stitution, and he will find what now appears
1 to himstrange and anomalous to be consis
tent and indispensable. 'Finding in the
Constitution a President or Executive head,
a Congress or law-making power, a Su
preme Court or law -expounding body, he
will also find therein an Army and Navy or
a power to wage war, offensive and defen
sive, either to repel invasion from without
l or to suppress insurrection within. Me will
farther find that this war power is not regu
lated by the Civil Code, is not _amenable to
the Courts, but is, from the very nature of
the cask a law unto itself. In other" words,
he will find that military Jaw is recognized
by -, the Constitution alt absOlutely u the

"that military law is part and parcel of the
Constitution.

Otherwise. Government does not exist as
'in advisory Corporation rthat ii, ties body'
seeking to control the conduct of the people`
_ 1
by giving them good counsels. It exists as
a mandatory establishment ; that is, an or
ganism having suthonty to , prescribe the
rule of conduct to all the inhabitants living
tinder it, and having force at hand to com
pel obedience to its mandates.
How much force has the Government of
the United States a right to use in a particu
lar instance ? 'Just as much as is needful to
accomplish the .end in view, if it has so
much in its possession. The right of self
defence in anation corresponds to the right
of self-preservation in each individual corn
; posing it. If a man is asaailed ho has an
undoubted right to use so much violence as
is necessary to repel the aggression and
make himself safe. Of course, he is after
wards answerable to the laws, and may be
held to show that he exerted no more force
than was requisite; but even then the pre
sumption of judges and jurors will run in
his favor. Euea nation is responsible to
nobody for tie amount of force it wields,
or the use it puts it to, in suppressing a
revolt. Its own sense of honor and expe
diency is all that binds it; and this has led
our National Government to make a more
magnanimous use of military po'wer than
any Other nation that exists, or that 'ever
existed in the tide of time.
With what show of reason do men who
sat the Constitution at defiance, who made
prodigious war upon it with intent to utter
ly overthrow and demolish it, appeal to it
for protection ? They only who have re
spected the Constitution themselves have a
right to hold it up as a measure of adjudica
tion either 'between' individuals'or commu
nities. But it is simply preposterous for
men who aPpealed to the right of revolu
tion, which is anterior to all Constitutions
and superior to all, to undertake to limit the
action of those whose powers they defied.
They who take the sword must and will be
judged by the sword; for there is no other
effectual instrumentality by which to judge
them.

A DEMOCRATIC BACK-OUT.
Some weeks ago, at Republican meet-
I ing held in Library, Snowden township, the
chairman, J. l l Mn.urn, Esq., extended - , a
challenge to the Democrats ' to bring out a
Democratto speaker to , discuss, with a Re
publican speiker, the issues of the cam-
Paign•
The Democrats of the township accepted
the ebidlAnge, - and, upon consultation with
the Republicans, Monday afternoon last was
fixed upon as the time and Library as the
place. Hon. Trios. howenn was chosen
as the Republican champion, and the Demo
crate, (afterconsultittion, as we understand,
with their friends in the city.) , announced
A. W. FoSTER, Esq., their candidate for
Senator, as the epaker on their.side. •
Notice of the debate and the debaters was
duly published in all the Republican papers,
so that full publicity was given,to the fact
that it was expected ,to take place.
Well, Monday afternoon came. and with
11 the great mass of the people on that side
of the county, Democrats and Republicans.
It was the largest gathering of the people
ever witnessed on the i southern side of, the
river.
No notice hadbeen given to the Democrats
that Mr. FOSTER would not be present. ,
Mr. HOWARD was promptly on the ground
at two o'clock, but no opponent was visi
ble. The meeting waited .until half-past
three o'clock, but still no Democratic ()ra
ter put in an appearance; and then the j vast
crowd present organized by choosing a
Democratic Chairman, one Democratic and
one Republican Vice President, and two
Secretaries, one of each party.
Mr. HOWARD then ascended to the stand,
and for two hours discussed, in a manly
and honorable way, the questions in, the
campaign. It was an eloquent, able and
convincing argument, exhaustive in its logic
and unanSwerable in the conclusions,
drawn,from its premises. It was an 'effort
exceeding creditable to Mr. HOWARD, as,
indeed, all his numerous speeches made in
this campaign have been ,
The Democrats present were. much chit . -
grined at the failure of FOSTER to show him
self, but they all united in bearing testi
mony to the courtesy with which they had
been treated by Mr. HOWARD. Many of
them, no doubt, listened for the first time to a
Republican speech, and it is to be hoped
that it will do all of them a power of good.
A STUPID EFIVIIT has been made.by one
DEtmen to show the inaccuracy of recent
official and Republican statementsloirching
the National finances. It is the same per
son who was removed from employment in
the Treasury Department, last winter, for
incompetency and is only known assn, ludi
crous humbug. He prepared, while in of
fice, a pamphlet, intended for European
circulation at the Paris exposition; which
was so full of stupid and ridiculousblunders
regarding our Government and the geogra
phy and resources of our country that Sec•
retary McCulloch issued an order to sup
press it, and the'whole edition was accord
ingly burned. The absurdity Of hislatest
performance is shown in his conclusions
that there must be a deficit, of $151,000,000
at the end of the present fiscal year, but that
the year commenced with a balance of
$144,000,000 remaining over from last year,
of unexpended appropriations. He makes
no attempt to reconcile the two conclusions
with each offer, or to explain how "podicat
misrule" neglected to spend so much avail
able money last year.

THE OLD witkotiVidtrix
xiiit Is perfectly, well tulderiteod by all Per
this that the opposition have 140 hope of car
rying the October election in this State ex
cept through the systematic wholesale repe-
tition of their habitual frauds in naturaliza
tion and colonization. As to the latter, our
own local columns, and most of our ex
changes from the border counties of the
Commonwealth, bare ample testimony to
the progress of this rascally work. The
naturalization swindle is also so vigorously
and impudently pushed that anumberof ar
rests have been already made in Philadel
phia, of leading Democrats, whose frauds
and perjuries were so manifest that they
have been held to bail for indictment and
trial. But even . this has not arrested the
course of rascality in that party. The
PresB of Tuesday says : .
•
"Yesterday Seven hundred and twenty
naturalization papers were granted by. the
Supreme Court of Pennsylvania in three
hundred minutes. In many of these cases
the oaths were administered by the tip
staves in the absence of the Judge charged
with the duty of granting naturalizations.
It is openly asserted, jind we believe cap
able of proof, that naturalization papers,
forged or otherwise, have been issued in
blank, signed, certified, and bearing the
great seal of the court, to be filled up witn
names as occasion may require.",
The Supreme Court has ordered that in
the future "the names of the vouchers shall
be endorsed on the papers," Mathis will not
wholly remedy the mischief.
- A.B in Philadelphia, so here and in other
counties of the State, our desperate oppo
nents are pushing, as far and as fast as they
dare, their rascally purpose of swamping
the ballot-boxes with illegal votes. The
only remedy for this is to watch them well
and punish them prompily.
How Democrats Carry Elecuons.
John Casey, an honest Irish laborer on the
- Clearfield railroad, was summoned to appear
before the Legislative Investigating Com=- mittee last winter, to testify -in relation to
-91 e frauds committed at the eleetinn - polls in
ipsburg, Centre county. As , law
ng citizen he came to Harrisbu.rg and
told the story in his own honest'way, which
,
is recorded in the Legislative Record, page
1411. It reads as follows:
"John Casey, sworn—l was working on
the railroad for Mr. Collins at the October
(1867Allection; was boarding in Philips
burg, *aere I voted with the other men;
Mr. Lede took me up, to vote and gave me
the naturalization paper, and I put it in;
cannot read; am as ignorant as a baste; I
put the paper in my pocket; cannot tell
what became of it; I was never naturalized,•
never was in a court before this• Lede told
me to vote; I was working near Mr. Collins'
store; came the day that O'Keefe did to
Philipsburg; I voted Democratic."
Such is the testimony of an honest Irish
man. These words are the verbatim report
of the testimony given by Casey under
oath before the Investigating Committee of
the Senate, and four days after the examina
tion when the above was elicited he was
found in the road near Clearfield, brutally
murdered, beaten to death with clubs. He
had undoubtedly , been killed lest he should
tell more, and to wipe out every trace of.
the the crime at the polls, on the night of the
murder, two men, on , a forged order, ob
tained from his landlady all his papers and
destroyed-them. Dead men tell no tales;
and the agents who seduced John Casey in
to committing a crime against the country
will probably never be known In this world.
Warn Blain and the Northern Copper.
heads are bawling themselves hoarse against
negro equality and suffrage their rebel
friends at the South are about evenly divi
ded as to the duty of murdering the blacks
or the policy of wheedling them with soft
words. In Qeorgia and Texas the - revolver
and bowie-knife are in vogue, but in Ten
nessee, on the- other hand, the Democratic
State Central Committee have squarely're
oeignlzed and endorsed negro suffrage. Their
address makes this promise:
"No - colcred citizen of the State, uniting
with us in the overthrow of a common
tyranity, and the rediumption of our noble
State, shall be disturbed in any of his vest
ed rights If, through his agen7, our own
rights should be restored to us.'
The Republican Reinner, of Nashville,
the Democratic organ, says:
"The colored man has the right of suf
frage in the Southern States. He can never
be deprived of it without ruinous political
agitation, and probably bloodshed. 'The
people of the South, both white and black,
need peace. The interests of the two races
are identical. Each will have to make
concessions to the other. Sensible men of
both races now see most clearly that dis
franchisement is inconsistent with the per
net city of constitutional liberty and demo
cratic Institutions."
WHEN Mr. WALLACE recently charged
that the convocation of Soldiers and. Sail
ors, which will commence this morning at
Philadelphia,
, was designed to cover and
promote frauds upon the elective franchise, he
must have forgotten certain testimony taken
last winter by a Legislative Committee. The
Rev.. Tames TRACY, corroborating MY ,
CEAEL O'MEARA, was the Witness.
Rev. Thomas Tracy, sworn—l paid Mi
chael O'Meara five hundred dollars a short
time before this case commenced; I gave
, him the money in his own house in the
evening, shout a week or two before the
assembling of the Legislature; he was to
leave the State and remain out three months
for the five hundred dollars; Mr. Gorman,
boss of Collins, gave me the money to give
him; the man who gave the money was the
only one who had any knowledge of the
transaction, as far as I know I had corres
pondence with Mr. Wallace on the subject
of O'Meara's leaving the State; the only was that he should remain away
three months; I understood it was for him
to be'gone until after the trial.
A sense of decent shame should have re.
strained Mr. WALLACE from. accusing his
fellow citizens.
ONE good turn deserves another. Ven..
LAN DIGUAM'S extraordinary efforts to secure
the nomination of HORATIO SEYMOUR in
the New York Conventicn have attracted
much, curious speculation; and the :mystery
is now explained. In a speech male by
General BURNSIDE ', at Bristol,. R. I, last
week, he referred to the arrest of the Ohio
rebel traitor and spy? and added that Hons.
TIO' SEYMOUR had several interviews with
himself (General 8.,) expressly for the
purpose of preventing the exile of his friend
and fellow Democrat. The latter now
gratefully cancels the debt.

The Toting Douglas.
Robert M. Douglas, the eldest son of the
late Senator Douglas, made a speech, a few
days since, at Raleigh, N. C., and denounc
ed in bitter terms those who affected to be
his father's friends, and were now using his
name to aid 'the Copperheads, His words
might be pondered'with profit, if not with
pleasure, by the friends of Stephen A. Doug
las,, wherever found. He said:
"Speaking of him, and feeling that what
ever importance any words of mine may
have is derived from the name' I bear and
the affection many still feel toward one who
through life proved himself the people's
friend, a few words concerning my father
may not be deemed inappropriate. It was
with feelings of surprise—and . I must add,
of indignation—that - I saw- his name in
scribed upon one of the transparencies borne
in the late Coneervative processions. I
thought that, common decency, at least,
Would have prevented them from dragging
from the tomb the name of the man whom
they had betrayed and denounced through
life, and, after his death, whose orphan chil
dren they had persecuted.
"When gazing upon that name, I remem
bered the time these same men declared him
a traitor to every principle of honor, be
cause he preferred his country to his party,
and bitterly denounced him for his efforts to
rally the people of the West for the defense
of the nation.
'I remember all these when I was declared
a degenerate son; and for every quotation
they give me from his speeches, I will give
them a dozen. When the 'Sentinel parades
I a sentence concerning a white man's gov
ernment, I would remind them of his dying
words. When the wife bent over the scarce
ly breathing form of the expiring states
man and asked if he had nomessage to send
to his children : 'Tell them,' said he, in a
voice rendered almost inaudible by the near
approach of death, 'to obey and support the
Constitution and laws of the land.' This
solemn injunction I intend to obey. When
I see myself personally abused by the con
' servative press on account of my political
sentiments, and called a traitor to the State
in which I was born, I would recall to their •
recollection the time when
.I was declared an
alien enemy. About the 'year 1862, a bill '
was filed summoning Thomas Settle (now •
Associate .Justice of the Supreme Court)
and R. A. Ellington to Greensboro to show
cause'why they should not surrender the
'property of Robert M. and " Stephen A.
l3ouglas, alien enemies of the Confederacy•;
and when I am denounced as a Yankee and
a carbagger I would remind them of
their pet-
efforts to' drive me an exile from my
native State and render me a stranger to the
soil that gave me birth. As, 'however, I
have in heeled my father's _name, and his
principles, it is natural that - I should inher
it, their animosity., Neverthelesa, it is strange
that these men, his bitterest enemies in life,
should now claim to be the truest exponents
of his principles; but not more strange than
that they should now assert themselves the
best friends of the Constitution of the Uni
ted States and the infallible interpreters of
its provisions, after they have sacrificed
hundreds of thousands of lives and thous
ands of millions of treasure to trample in

fatal. The past few weeks of changeable tempera

of
the lungs, throat and chest. If you are attacked
by a cold, no mat ter how slight, use at once

WE ARE NOT CAST IRON.
Cast Iron undergoes marked changes under the
&Requite action of heat and cold, and the human
bedris not cast iron. On the cowing, It is a com
bination of delicate tissues 'and - fibres, which are
exquisitely sensitive to atmospheric changes, and,
' unless protected against sudden and violent vans.
Mons or temperature by wise precautions,. are sure
to be dinar Judy affected by them.
At this season the difference between the temper.
ature of night and day is greater than at any othm
period of the year, and the stomach, the liver, the
bowels and the nervous svaiem are apt to receive
violent shocks from these changes, resulting In in
digestion, bilious .attacks, debility. low nervous
fever, reverend ages, remittent fryer, fie. SUstein
and reinforce these organs, therefore, with the
Purest and most potent of all vegetatre tonics and
alteratives, viz: HOSTETTER'S STOMACH BIT
TERS. The effect of this matchless invigorant is to
brace dp the whole vital organization, and regulate
its action. Useful at al! seasons as a means of pro
moting perfect digestion, an even and natural flow
of bile, and a healthy condition of the bowels and
the skin, It is especially necessary In the Fall when
the complain s arising from checked Perspiration
are so common. It is found, by those who ae In the
habit of using this agreeable and unequalled tonic,
that It so strengthens and fortifies the body as to
ran& r It proof egainat the morbid influences which
Infect the air daring the prevalence of epidemics.
DISEASED LUNGS.
There is no donut whatever that dives.ses of the
longs, or ulcers of whatever sort, on ant of tne In
ternal organs may be and are frequently cured, and
a complete condition of health established. if the
elaborative functions, of which the stomach Is the
primary and most important one, &T. restored to a
condition to do the , repairing of the human system,
ulcers or sores, wsether upon the lungs the liver.
the kidneys or the bowels, or upon the lege, as I.
frequently the case,
,can be melee to heal, and a
complete standard of health re-establisned.
We have frequently seen these results from the
use of Dr. KEY:lewd LUNG CURE, a pleasant
and agreelbM medicine, which will ripen up and
carry out the animal economy all effete and us up
material. Dr. KEYSER'S LUNG CURE is enedrich
ed by some of the most valuable plants and herbs
known to be useful and curative I t all deteriorated
states of the human blood, and whilst It adds to Its
plasma, I, at the sane time stimulates; gently but
effectively, the skin, the kidneys, the liver and the
glandular syst m to sufficient action to enable the
body to take on nealthfal action and eradicate the
disease. The atilt and afflicted should bear in mind
the virtues of this great medicine., and if those who
are sadilislentiy alive to the Importance of health,
will resort to it in the beginning of a coach or cold,
there would be no falling into declines and rapid
consamptlon,.so hopelessly luctirable, and so mos
sur e ,y fatal. Let any one afflicted wish any pulmo
nary disease try but one butt..., arid t ey will be

Tan publicatiotof f illiniSterZi's "lent
letter in favor of Grant has brought out two
previous letters from' him, whfch - nie find
in the Galena %tette. One of them was
dated in January lad, and opens liy ea 3 ing
- that the writer had 'lthought for s year th at
Grant:should be Pr esident,"--which shows
that General Dix is no new advocate of
Grant's nomination; and the Gazette says
1
it "should be known that he (Gen. Dix) in
tends returning 'to - this country in the
Spring, no matter how the" election results ;
his advocacy of Gen.,Grant, therefore origi
nates in no desire to retain his position
abroad." The other letter is of nearly the
same nature as the letter published a few
days ago by Gen. Dix's own desire. Be.
expresses his belief that Seymour's want of
firmness ("I know him well," says Genera'
Dix) "would renew the 'dissensions which
have brought so much evil on our country;"
and he does , not think Seymour "has any
of the qualifications which are indispensa
ble to maintain the public tranquility at this
juncture."
