"A sentiment not to be appalled, corrupted o s

no danger; it oppresses no weakness. Destructive
only of despotism, it is the sole conservator of lib

DEMOCRATIC STATE CONVENTION.
In accordance with a resolution of
the Democratic State Executive
committee, the DEMOCRACY OF PEINN
SYLVANIA will meet in STATE CON
VENTION, at Harrisburg, on Fri
day, the 4th of July, 1862, at ten
o'clock, A. ii., to nominate candidates
for Auditor General and Surveyor
General, and to adopt such measures
as may be deemed necessary for the
welfare of the Democratic party and
the country.
WILLIAM H. WELSH.
Ch'n of the Dem. State Ex. Com.
A YEW VIEW OF EMANCIPATION.
What is to Become of the Free Negroes?
A contemporary says the questioi► of
emancipation was well set forth by Senator
Davis, of Ky., in a recent speech. It is
unquestionable that in case of such a mea
sure, provided the impossible colonization
scheme is not attempted, this class of use
less persons should be properly distributed.
Common justice would dictate that, if this
burthen is to be borne, it should be borne
by all the States in common. The North-
ern States must not expect to throw all of
the burthern upon the Southern States.—;
If they do so, they will find that a central
government powerful enough to emanci
pate slavery in Southern States without the
consent of the people is fully able to
tribute those slaves throughout the United'
States to make the burthen more equita- I
ble. Indeed, some such condition will be
asked by the Southern States in case of!
forced emancipation, and a common sense
of equity will grant it. On that day all
State rights, we take it for granted, will
be passed away, and as much a matter of
histtry as the old articles of confederation.
The aim will be to distribute the accursed
burthen of free negroes so that it can be
borne with least injury to the whole peo
ple, and in that event all .of the laws
against the admission of the free negroes
into the borders of every Northern State
will become a nullity. It will then be for
the people of those States to know fully
what has been forced upon the country by
radicalism and the blind fanaticism of Ab
olition, and the mad rule of ignorance and
prejudice. Mr. Davis makes the follow
ing italculation, which we give in his own
wol
,But 1 will proceed with my table. Cali
fornia has :1,816 free negroes. How many
would she have to take if all the negroes
were liberated and if they were then die-1
tribute(' equally among the States? Her
ratio would be 56,003, She is not pre- I
pared, I reckon, for such an importation !
of free negroes. Connecticut, the land ofj
steady habits, among the noblest of the
Old Thirteen, in whose men, in whose
statesmanship, in whose love of country,'
in whose valor, in whose performance of
all their duties as men and citizens, with
such exceptions only as appertain to all
frail men, I have the highest confidence,
what would be her condition ? She has
now 8,542 free negeoes, and she would have
to take 65,733. Illinois now has 7,069.
You found that both the Senators from
Illinois were a little tender-footed on the
subject, and well they might be, for her
portion would be 244,536 free negroes.—
Next I come to Indiana; and what would
be her portion? She has a goodly number
now, comparatively. She has 10,869, and
Jier portion would be 192,991, an increase
making nearly 200,000. The young and
growing State of lowa, that has become
an empire in the Northwest, and, accord
ing to my information, has more of fertile
and productive and less of refuse land than
any State in the UniOn, how many of these
slaves would she have to take? She now
has 1,023 free negroes. She would have to
take 96,421. Kansas has 623. She would
have to take 15,301. I wish Kansas had
every one of them. [Daughter.] Maine
is witty strong upon the bit on this slavery
question. My honored friend, the late
i doiernor of that State, and now Senator,
Morrill,] is not in his seat. I am
Sorry that he is not.;• but in his preSence
abaencea. never would treat him with
7disrespect. My feelings are too
19 atskilleeply and sincerely of an op
posite character. Maine has 1,195 free
negroes. Under this apportionment she
would have to take 89,753. Massachu
setts has 9,454. She would have to take
175,866. I wish she had her full quota
[laughter;] and I believe that, instead of
sending them all to Kansas, I would send
at least half to Massachusetts, and if the
Kansas Senators protested, I would send
the whole of them to Massachusetts.—
Michigan, the State of my early and hon -
ored friend, Mr. Howard, has now 6,823.
She would have to take 121,301. My
friend has a good deal of aversion to the
Indians resident in his State; I have no
doubt this is a very reasonable and well
founded aversion, but it is not half as well
or as deeply founded as our aversion to
free negroes in Kentucky. I wish I could
excite a little more sympathy in his gen
erous bosom on what I may call our sub
ject, than he at present feels.
Mr. Howard—Canada is very near us,
and affords a fine market for "wool."
Mr. Davis—And I believe they starve
and feeeze to death there in the long win
ters. I have received a doleful account of
them there. I believe they form them in
to regiments, and ship them to the West
Indies occasionally. Here is Minnesota,
one of the youngest sisters. She has only
229 free negroes now. She would have to
take 24,574. That would be a considera
ble increase. New Hampshire has 450.
She has not her pro rata of the present free
negroes. She would have to take 46,581 ;
and I wish from the bottom of my heart
that she had the whole of them this day.
New .Jersey is very liberal, more so than
any of the States except Maryland, in propor
tion to population. She has 24,947 now;
and she would have to add to her num
bers until they reached 96,007. Then
there is New York, the Empire State,
whose broadside once used to decide all
presidential elections ; I . believe that the
great West are rather dividing that •pow
er with her now. What is her number?
She has now 49,005. How many would
she have to take? Upwards of 500,000
more than she has-557,390. Where are
the Senators from New York that we can
not make a compact with them just to lead
that number of free negroes into the Em
pire State right at once? Then here is
Ohio, the eldest sister of the Northwest,
and the strongest one yet. She has 36,-
225; and she is the Botany Bay for the
negroes from Kentucky and Tennessee.—
Every man there who wants to liberate his
slaves takes theta to Ohio, buys land there,
and settles them on these lands. The rea
son is that Illinois and Indiana and the
other Northwestern States frown upon
that policy; but. Ohio still opens her bos
om to the reception of that people, and I
hope in God she will receive her surfeit be
fore a great while, She now has 36,225.
She would have to take 334,304. Oregon
has 121. She is so distant they will not
travel there. They are too indolent to
travel that far. She would have to take
6,509. Pennsylvania has 56,379. A good
many of them, I believe, were made free
by the running of the line between Penn
sylvania and Virginia at an early day, a
great many people claiming part of Penn
sylvania as part of Virginia, and taking
slaves there, She would have to take
423,767. Rhode Island has 3,918; she
wovld have to take 24,717. Vermont has
582. Ido not think, with due respect to
the Chair, she has quite her pro rata. She
would have to take only 45,016 Wiscon
sin has 1,481. She would . have to take ;
112,267.
This is a table well worth the consider
ation of the people of the Northern States.
It is a new view of the subject, and one
addressing itself directly to them. It is
unnecessary to point out the necessity of
this distribution at any length. It is per
fectly clear that the existence of this race
in the South, without masters. would make
it a wilderness, and so be a worse injury
to the North than even the plan of dis
tribution.
When the people of any State feel anx
ious to adopt. the emancipation scheme,
let them read over and see the number of
blacks allotted to them, and say when
they wish them to be forwarded to their
address.
OHIO POLITICS.
The di.stilction that has heretofore been
recognized (frequently, we confess, as a
matter of courtesy) between the Republi :
can party and Abolitionism, is being rap-•
idly wiped out. Even now, the people
fail to see it, and Republican politicians
will hereafter labor in vain to make them
believe that it exists. The revolting and
revolutionary doctrines of the Abolition
ists are incorporating themselves into all
the movements and shaping and directing
all the policy of the party which the De
mocracy, aided by other conservative men,
will have to defeat at the polls next fall.
The indications throughout the State
are unmistakable. The dominant party is
doomed—its fate is seated. The real
friends of the Union as it was, and the
Constitution as it is, must and will triumph.
Our cause is the cause of the country. In
view of the responsibilities, therefore,
which rest upon the Democracy, it is but
proper and patriotic that activity, energy
' and efficiency should characterize the great
work in which they are now engaged, and
which they are bound to accomplish. We
have assurances from all parts of the
State which warrant us in saying that the
Convention of July 4th, 1862, will be one
of the largest and ablest and best Conven
tions ever held in Ohio.—Ohio Statesman.
GODEY FOR JULY.
We have received the July number
of Godey's Lady's Book. This pop
ular book has now reached a point
far beyond rivalry, but seems to im
prove with each number. The pres

ume, is superb and we call special at
tention to the fine stetel engraving
"Summer," which is alone worth all
the number costs. Every lady should

THE DEKOOBATIO AND OONSERV
ATITE POSITION.
Radical Republicans and their Fu
sion sympathizers, says the Ohio
Statesman, are continually charging
that Democrats and other conserva
tive men want to spare slavery at
the expense of the Union. The
charge is false and malicious, and
most of those who make it know it
to be so. Democrats, conservative
Republicans, and all conservative
men everywhere, North and South,
are bent upon saving the Union un
der the Constitution as it is, let slave
ry or any other institution or inter
est suffer as it may. Their motto
is, the Constitution as it is must he
maintained, and the Union of thirty
three united,yet distinct States, must
be preserved.
But while conservative men are de
termined that the Union shall not be
periled for the sake of slavery, they
are determined that hostility to that
institution shall not endanger the
Union, or encroach a single hair's
breadth upon the constitutional and
reserved rights of the States. Our
soldiers are fighting, and our country
is accumulating a tremendous debt,
which the people must pay, not for
the sake of preserving or abolishing
this or that State institution or local
usage, not for the sake of establish
ing' a centralized and consolidated
National Government or despotism
over the whole people, but for the
sole and only purpose of preserving
our Federal system of separate and
distinct States and State Govern
ments, with all their constitutional
rights, privileges and immunities un
impaired, and united in one common
Government, with powers defined
and limited by a written Constitu
tion.
Democrats and their conservative
co-workers stand not up to the de
fense of slavery or any other State
institution as such ; but they de
mand, that under no pretense of
saving the Union, shall the Union
itself be overthrown. They know
that if the sacred right of any State
to determine for itself its own local
institutions and usages under the
Federal Government, is encroached
upon or taken away, it is a destruc
tion to the Union ; for that can only
be preserved by preserving the in
dividuality and integrity of each and
every State unimpaired. To abolish a
State institution, permitted by the
Federal Constitution, without the con
consent of the people of the State, is
not merely an attempt to overthrow
the State Government, but the Gov
ernment -of the whole Union. For
whether that Government is depend
ent for its existence on the States or
the reverse, it is certain that With
out the States it cannot exist as a
Federal or Union Government, for
it' the States are gone, there is no
thing to be federated or united.
The attempt, therefore, to muti
late or destroy a State, by causing
her people or a portion of them to
attempt to secede, by turning her
domain into a territory, or by taking
away any constitutional right guar
anteed to her, as to have slavery or
not as her people may determine by
their own local Constitution and
laws, is an attempt to overthrow
the Union and abolish the Constitu
tion.
What conservative men insist on
is this—that neither political pro
slavery nor political anti-slavery
shall be spared, if it stands in the
way of maintaining the Constitution
and saving the Union. Let them
both go to the wall separately or to
gether, if need be, but let the Union
under the Constitution as it is,
stand one and indivisible, now and
forever !
CONTRABANDS.
The country, says the Hartford
Times, is beginning to get a foretaste
of the evils attending released slaves.
The contrabands are now costing the
Government one hundred thousand
dollars a day. They are lying upon
the walks, on the steps, and in the
yards about Washington. At Port
Royal they are so lazy as to be al
most valueless as laborers ; but they
will eat the rations, and lie around
loose, a burthen upon the army and
the treasury. Let the emancipation
become general, and the white pop
ulation will be forced to drive them
out of the South, or to leave them
selves.
Perhaps a hundred . thousand or so
will come to Connecticut. fThe quo
ta for Pennsylvania will be at least
five times as many l] Will the Abo
litionists take care of them; or turn
them hungry away from their doors?
What effect will they have upon soci
ety-, upon labor, upon public senti
ment here, when they flock in to our
towns and villages in such numbers
as to become burthensome ? Why
are the Western States—Kansas, Il
linois, &e.—making the severestlaws
to prevent a negro within their lim
its ? Where are the four million con
trabands to go ? Already enough
has been seen to satisfy reasonable
men that they will not support them
selves. We suspect that New Eng
land will find, one of these days, that
emancipation is a measure well cal
culated to make sad inroads upon her
prosperity. That the doctrine tends
Ito break up the Union forever, is
quite apparent. But the radical Ab
olitionists seem to control measures
in Congress, and to have general
sway over a large portion of the pub
lic sentiment at the North. For the
good of the ne,groes, and the welfare
of the whites, the people should pause
and reflect upon this grave question
—and then act with reason, and in
accordance with the dictates of hu
manity, if indeed they are determ
ined to pay little or no regard to the
compromises and the principles of
the Constitution.

"LET THE NATION PERISH."
The Ameridizn Anti-Slavery Society
held its annual Convention at New
York, the beginning of this month.
The Rev. Mr. HATFIELD made a
speech, the followidg extract from
which we copy from the New York
Observer :
"The Rev. Mr. HATFIELD support
ed the opinion that slavery is the
"sum of all villainies." Even if the
nation perish with it, there must be an
end to this abomination. If the Con
stitution endorsed the thing! God
was against the Constitution. (Ap
plause.) He called upon God to
"bless Uncle Abe," who was going
as fast and as far as his obligations
would allow him. And yet he wish
ed the President would only travel
faster. (Applause.) He pronounced
the interference with • Fremont's
proclamation a blunder. He also de
nounced the proposition to colonize
the negt. , os as a crime which God
would punish."
Upon this infamous speech the
Observer makes the following com
ment :
"This idea of Mr. HATHELD's is
the gist of the difficulty that is to
prevent a settlement of the war
and the restoration of the Union un
der the Constitution. He and the
party with which he acts are oppo
sed to any settlement on the basis of
the Union as it was before the war,
the only ground upon which we
have a government at all. When
the rebels are crushed by the strong
hand of lawful power, -these enemies
of the Constitution among us are to
be met and conquered. We are glad
that they avow their principles so
distinctly. We take issue with them
now, just as we did when they first
proclaimed our glorious Constitution
to be "An agreement with hell."—
They hate it now. They avow their
desire to see "the nation perish" un
less slavery is abolished. Rather
let every man perish who would de
stroy the Republic if he cannot secure
the immediate attainment of his ends.
especially when that immediate re
sult would be equally injurious to
both races. Such are the men I
whose patriotism, if they ever had !
any, is wholly lost in their fanciful
and mistaken philanthropy.
Other speakers followed Hatfield
in the same strain ; and Wendell
Phillips declared that "Slavery must
be abolished—if not by the govern
ment, then over it.
ABOLITIONISM AND DISUNION.
Less than a year ago WENDELL Paiwesl
made a speech at the Tremont Temple, at!
Boston, in which he said :
"The anti-slavery party had hoped for
and planned disunion, because it would lead
to the development of mankind, and the
elevation of the black man."
The truth of the above declaration is
being evidenced daily by the plottings and
treasonable schemes of the Abolitionists.
Their measures all tend in the one direc
tion, and are designed to prevent any re
construction of the Union on a just and
equitable basis, with all the rights of the
States undisturbed and unimpaired. Their
hostility to slavery is so inveterate and un
reasonable, that to accomplish its over
throw, they would destroy the Government
and strike down the interests and liberties
of the white man. They ale serving their
African god with a heathen devotion, and
will tolerate no man or party that does not
worship at the same shrine. Their talk.
like their legislation, is all of the negro.
Hon; long this mania is to last, and when
and where their agitation of the slavery
question is to ceare, will depend on the
moderation and good sense of the people.
Nothing but an emphatic and withering
rebuke at the polls will silence these noisy
and dangerous tanatics, and it will be ad
ministered in due season and with a ven
geance, or we have mistaken the feeling and
purpose of the popular mind. "Wait a
little longer."
WASHINGTON COUNTY.
We are pleased to learn from our Wash
ington exchanges that Gen. LAMAa was
unanimously nominated for Congress at
the Primary election held a few days since.
It is a deserved compliment to an honest
and faithful public servant, and the exam
ple thus set will doubtless be followed by
our Democratic neighbors of Beaver and
Lawrence. Unanimity in the selection of
the candidate will contribute much to his
success in the Fall.
The Washington Ecantiner thus speaks
of the General:
Gen. LAZE AR, the choice of Wash
ington county (as he is of the Dis
trict) for Congress, has been tried
and not found wanting in constant
cy to duty and to the principles of
the party that elected him. Possess
ing in an eminent degree, those qual
ities of fearless integrity and incor
ruptible honesty which in a crisis such
as the present, become the more con
spicuously valuable, he possesses also
a clearness of judgment and sound
practical good sense that render him
a safe and Influential. ber of Con
gress.—Though tit' -0'. 4 isition gerry
mandered the Dis* • 4o suit them
selves, yet we have' scarcely a doubt
that Gen. Lazear will be elected.—
Beaver and Lawrence cannot give
much, if any, more (as we are in
formed by good authority from one
of these counties) than 1500 against
him; Greene will give 1700 and Wash
ington, we will say, 300 for him.
Westmoreland Democratic Nominations.

BUTLER ctourry.
The Democracy of Butler county
met in Convention on Monday last,
and nominated a full ticket for the
coining fall election. They passed a
series of spirited resolutions, from
which we select the following:
Resolved, That we consider the
workings of the twin political
heresies of Abolition and Secession
the true causes of the present un
happy- condition of our beloved
country ; both aiming at the same
object, the destruction of the Union
of our fathers, which, with Wash
ington, ire revere as the palladium
of our liberties, and its preservation
as necessary to our continned exist
ence as a free people.
Resolved, That we will sustain the
President in all efforts to sustain
the Constitution as it is; to restore
the Union as it was, and enforce the
laws, until peace and order shall be
established in every quarter of our
once prosperous and happy, though
now distracted and bleeding, coun
try-.
Resolved, That we admire the pa
triotic course of Senator Cowan, and
other conservative members of the
Republican party, who have nobly
withstood the tide of fanaticism,
attempting to divert this war from
its original and only lawful purpose,
viz: the preservation of the Consti
tution and the Union, and the en
forcetnent of the laws.
BEAVER COUNTY.
Gen. LAZEAs was unanimously nomina
ted fbr Congress by the Democracy of
Beaver at their County Convention on
Monday of last week. The Delegates to
the State Convention were instructed to
support Mr. PAIILEY for a position on the
State Ticket. Well done, little Beaver.
A DESERVED PROMOTION.
We are gratified to learn that our young
friend, Capt. S. Nitro.); BALLY of the
Waynesburg "Rangers," has been elected
Major of the Sth Regiment, Pennsylvania
Volunteers, vice J. B. GARDNER, resigned.
Capt. BALLY is one of the most popular
officers in his regiment, having the impli
cit confidence of his men and of his super
iors in command. Few men in the service
of his years and experience have given
more entire satisfaction, or inspired more
respect and hearty attachment among his
comrades.
THE COMING HARVEST.
During a late trip through parts of this,
Fayette, Washington and Allegheny coun
ties, we had a good opportunity of observ
ing the promise of the coming harvest.—
Never, in our life, have we witnessed such
a prospect for wheat. Very few bad or
thin wheat fields are to be met with any
where. The Rye fields look equally prom
ising ; and the Oats, though short and
backward, have improved very rapidly
within the last few weeks. Corn is short
for the season, though as a general thing
it stands well, and bears a good color. In
fact the present prospect for a most boun
tiful yield of the fruits of the earth, is
such as should gladden the farmer's heart,
and fill all with a sense of thankfulness to
the God of the harvest.
giir. O n a late trip to Fayette county,
we crossed the river, for the first time, at.
Garrard's Ferry. We were very agreeably
surprised at the fine condition of the roads
by this route. They bad been well work
ed, and what is more rare, they had been
worked iu the proper season of the year.—
We do not know who is the road master
in Cumberland tp., but whoever he may
be, he deserves credit for the mariner in
which he has discharged his duty on the
road leading to Garrard's Ferry. The
road on the Fayette side was also found to
be in excellent condition. We were fer
rir.d over the river by thegentlemanly and
accommodating proprietor, Gen. Garrard,
in a fine, safe and substantial boat.—
Such of our friends as may have occasion
to pass to Fayette county, we would ad
vise to take the route above indica
ted, as being the most pleasant, safe and
expeditions.
THE CONVENTION.
The Monongahela Valley Sabbath-
School Convention held its fifth Annual
Meeting in this place, commencing on
Tuesday, the 17th inst. It was in session
two days. Rev. Stephen Winget, of Pros
perity, Pa., of the Cumberland Presbyter
ian Church, presided over its deliberations.
Over sixty schools were represented in the
Convention. Various topics of great inter
est were discussed in a fraternal spirit, and,
we trust, a salutary impression made upon
the minds of our community.
The Convention adjourned to meet in
Morgantown, Va., in June, 1R63. c.
ADMITTED.
G. W. G. WADDELL, Esq.,was admitted
to the practice of the law in the Courts of

close student, and passed a very creditable
examination. That he will make a popu
lar and successful advocate, we have no
doubt.
Mir Our readers will be pleased to learn
that Mr. Wx. Smrrn, son of Benjamin
Smith, formerly of this place, was not
killed at Pittsburgh Landing, as was at
first reported here. He was taken pris
oner in that battle, and writes to his
mother at Washington, lowa, that he is
very kindly treated.

that he is now on a visit to this part of the

in the enjoyment of good health, but also,
"in the fullness of the Gospel of Christ."
