I was biehly pleased to see Lower Augusta,
Little Mahanoy, Washinatan, JavVsnn and
Cameron townships so well represented (o the
Company. It shows conclusively that the
cjtitens in the rural districts are getlirir
aroused j that they fully appreciate the peril
in which their country is beion placed by vilo
od unscrupulous traitors. Our farmers' sons
re oot so easily swayed or excited as the cit
iens of citius and towns; they have their
steady employment, and do ml wisb to leave
their daily avocations ooless they feel assured
that tbeir presence is really needed. That
honr has arrivaii, and they are already respond
ing to the call. My rural friends, twine for

arm of a great nation, in her honr of trouble,
is leaning on yon for support. You are the
life and soul of the greatest country opon the

of which is not yet written in the book of fat
Each of you combine within yourselves every

Wro. II. Bussel's letters to the London
Timet are not of tbe mostconciliatory nature :
be speaks of Ame'rieoo soldiers as if Kngleod
bed never met with tbem in former times.
The army that retreated from Bull's Run, of
wbicb bis rich imagination enaoica Dim to
give such a plausible and graphic history, was

acuse, knocked a born oQ Joux Bull. Tbe
English press is quite tenacious in ber threats
nd abuses ; tbey most have Cotton, and if
tbey do not bebave themselves they may have
socb a dish of cotton served np to them as
Jackfon served op to them at New Orleans.
Tbey are evidently very much afraid lest some
of Her Msgesty's subjects would riBk tbe'ir
money in tbe "American Ltao." I do not
Know tbat we had any reason to expect much
financial aid from tbeir coffers; for every
tcbool-boy knows that her national parse is
heavier loaded with debt than witji specie.
Bbe carried on s war for opwords of twenty
years, equay as expensive as our war at pre
sent. The same time ber money paid io part,
the Austrian, tbe Italian, end Spanish armies,
whilst warriDg against France. She, with fif
teen millions of people, less means, internal
improvements, aud commercial trade thao tho
Northern States have now, felt herself able at
tbat time not only to pay her own soldiers for
quarter of a century, but nearly another na
tioo's army that would war against ber com
mon foe, "Napoleon tbe First."
If we were to believe tbe miserable, one-
tided baransue in ber press now, we should be
forced to admit tbo success or final fate of our
great country depended npon the opening or
shutting of the British purse : but experience
bas already tangbl os oiUerently. I no Amer
ican Deoole are not only oMeto meet every fi
nancial emergency, but are also trilling. Mil
lions of dollars are daily beioir subscribed, in
sums averaging from $50 to $50,000, from all
classes of people. Tbe poor widow throws in
ber mite which she bas accumulated by years
of economy. Then comes tbo millionare, with
Lis pile, for be can find no other place on tbe
face of tbe earth, wbere bis money is so safe,
nd yet bringB such bigb interest 7 and 3-10
percent. It is a satisfaction to know tbat
tbe interest of this immense loan will be real
ized by tbe citizens of our country, and much
of it by the laboring class of oor community,
instead of it goiDg to tbe money-mongers of
tbe old world.
Tbe late active manifestations of our Gov
ernment cannot help but bave a good e fleet at
borne and abroad. Tbe steady re-enforcing of
of our army, tbe training tnd bringiog our
troops to a strict military discipline, tbe
strengthening of the Navy, tbe rapid collec
tion of warlike materials, tbe seiznie of the re
bel spies and emissaries botb male aud fe

Northern incendiary and secession newspa
pers, most inspire confidence, and will be
bailed by every loyal American. If tbe ener
gy of McCleilaa has already brought about
such good results,. then bis efforts mostia tbe
Jinnleba crowned witb success.
The peace editors of tbe North are of tbe
vilest species of traitors : tbey wish to alien

DEMOCRATS CARRY OFF ALL TBHOF-
ricaaTUTMat otiikr iidb.
Tbe convention of the Breckinridge Dem
ocrats of tbis county met at tbe Court House,
io Saobury, on Monday last. We do not
mean to say tbat all were Breckinridge meu,
because we know tbat most of the Democrats
of tbe lower end are good Douglas Democrats,
and a cumber of these were preseot, but
unfortunately the organization of the party
is oow controlled by Breckioridge leaders
and persons wbo sympathize with tbe rebels,
and no man wbo gives the least countenance
at Ibis time, to traitors, by creating divisions
and dissensions, can be a trua Democrat. In
time of war party struggles for office should
not be beard of. Uo said the lameoted Dou
glas, io his last speech So says M r. Holt,
tbe late patriotic Secretary of War, under
Mr. Buchanan. So says tbat distinguished
Democrat and statesman, Gov. Dickioson, in
bis late speech, and so lay all true patriots.
Look at tbe result and see if wbat we say i
not true. Tbe great majority of tbe party in
this county are Douglas men, but a little oest
of plotting, half secession, Breckinridge Dem
ocrats, in the upper end, manege to control
the party, and bave taken every office on
tbat side of tbe river among themselves, all
but one Associate Judge, and would bave
taken tbat if there had not becu two. Pre.
sident Judge we do not count, as tbat is a
district office. Now tbis is not strange to
those wbo know bow such things are done.
One of tbe leaders of ibis intrigue told us to
Saturday, before the election, thai all tbe
offices were to go oo the other side, but one
Tbe secret clique wbo thus cheat tbe people
are actually worse thao tbe Know Nothings,
and expect to carry out their vile intrigues
under tbe natfe of Democracy. A number of
tbe men engaged io tbis business were Fede
ralists and Wbigs, not maDy years ago, and
having left their party for the sake of office,
are ready for anything. Wbat con be the
object in throwing all tbe offices io tbe upper
ond, is a question more easily asked than
answered. Are they more deserving, or are
we only fit to be tbeir servants, or is it
because tbey have been plotting for a number
of years to divide tbe county, and expect by
getting all political power into their own
hands tbey can belter accomplish their de
signs. It is, however, but just to say tbat
some of tbe best men of their own party, in
this place, condemued tbis course, and begged
of tbem to prevent it. Salierm Wuldrnn was
one of these, and openly declares his opposi
tion to such outrageous conduct.
Tbe Democratic party always will be tbe
strong tbe dominant party, and cau afford
to do right, and it is only when tbey permit
designing and selfish politicians to lead them
that they are defeated. Democrats ere al
ways true to tbeir country and will fight for
it, without asking how the war was brought
about. Such questions, at this time, may
well be asked by Democrats of the Brerkio
ridge stamp, but not by patriots. Why then
should Democrats pass over the claims of
tbeir neighbors good and capable men, and
gut into tbe bunds of tbe Breckinridge faction
in the upper end all tbe offices, most of bum
bave been secretly aiding the South by de
nouncing the war, while some of them, at
least, not long since, openly declared their

All mast concur in every word of this great
Union speech, in which there it so' little cf
partisanship, tod to.n,ocb of patriotism, that
a Republican Convention, beld at Wilkes-Bar
on the 23th, was constrained to approve it by
a formal resolution of tbaoks, io the following
words t ,- v. -,
' Resolved, That the Ibeiiks of this Convention
are hereby tendered to the Hon. D. 6. lHckinwn,
for hit masterly plea for Hie Union at Tunkhan'

faction at the courte of this ditiinguished leader
ot the Democratic party, in common with a host
of other in sinking the partisan in the patriot,
and rallying tolhe support of the government
against the machinations of the traiiora."
Let every Democrat, every Republican,
and all who are patriots and love tbeir couo
try read it. When such a distinguished Demo.
orot as Gov, Dickiortv can for a time rise
above party, surely tbe more bumble in rank
should not be ashamed tostaud by tbeir coun

about their ears such no outburst of indigna

conduct of these men, who, under the guise
of Democracy, treacherously deceived good

Mv Dkar Sir: All hope of compromise
with the Cotton States was abandoned when
they assumed tbe position tbat the separation
of the Union was complete aud final, uud thut
tbey would oever consent to a reconstruction

permit them to inscribe tbeir own terms.
Still the hope was cherished thut reasona

could be agreed upon with Tennessee, North
Caroliua, and the Bonier States, aud tbat
whatever terms would prove satisfactory to
these loyal -Mates would create a Uuion

powerful enough at the ballot box to destroy

Government at Montgomery, that the seoes

the Capitol at Wutdiington, and a procluma
tian issued inviting tha pirates of tbe world
to prey upon the commerce of the United

These startling dels, in connection with
tbe boasttul annonnuement that the ravages
of war and carnage should be qnickly trans
ferred from the cotton fields of the South to
the wheat fields and cornfields of the North,
furnish couclusive evidence that it was tbe
fixed purpose of the Secessionists utterly lo
destroy the Government of oXir Fathers and
obliterate tbe United States from the uiid of
rthe world.
In view of tbis state of facts there was but
one path of duty left to patriotic men; 1 1 was
not a party question, nor a question involving
partisan policy j it was a qnestiun of Govern'
went or no Government ; country or no coun
try; and hence it became the imperative
duty of every Union man, every friend of
constitutional liberty, to rally to the support
of our common country, its Government and
flag as tne only means of checking the pro
gress of revolution and of preserving tbe
Union of Stales.
I am neither the supporter of the partisan
policy nor tbe apologist of the Administra
tion. My previous relutions to tbem remain
unchanged ; but I trust the time will never
come when J shall not be willing to matt any
needful sacrifice of personal feeling and
party polio for the honor and integrity of my
country.
