"A sentiment not to be appalled, corrupted or
compromised. It knows no baseness; it cowers to
no danger; it oppresses no weakness. Destructive
only of despotism, it is the sole conservator of lib
erty, labor and property. It is the sentiment of
Freedom, of equal lights, of equal obligations—the
law of nature pervading the law of the land."

THE MISCHIEVOUS EFFORTS OF
ABOLITIONISTS.
Nothing has assisted so much in retard
ing the cause of the Union as the mis
chievous efforts of the Abclitionists. This
conclusion is forcing itself, with painful
urgency, upon the mind of every reflecting
man. It is causing alarm even among
moderate Republicans, and they are
"speaking out," and thus assisting the
Democratic paity in putting the people on
their guard.against the crazy, fanatical,
and dangerous designs of this party of
"one idea."
TIIERLOW WEED, Esq., of the Albany
Argus, 'may be regarded as the father of
the Republican party; hear what he says
upon this subject:—
From the Albany Evening Journal, (Republican )
"We rejoice over this [President
Lincoln's letter to Horace Greeley,
because it will 'separate the wheat
from the chaff.' It invites the Union
men to the right, leaving disunionists
to turn to the left. It rebukes the
insolence of journalists who seek to
control the Government and to com
mand the army. It draws the teeth
and cuts the claws of those who
aided the Secessionists in ripening the
rebellion ; who aided them again in
uniting the whole South against us ;
and who now, in face of fresh disasters,
.arrogantly demand what would divide
and destroy the North."
From the same:
"In this emergency—this hour of
imminent peril—men who keep out
of the army themselves, seek to dis
tract and to divide the people and to
weaken the Government, by thrust
ing forward their one idea. These
men, by letter and in person, have
been arrogantly. dictating to the
President, a policy which would, if
adopted, annihilate the hopes and the
elfare of our country and the peo
ple. Unsuccessful in their scheme,
the Evening Post demanded, and the
Tribune assumed to give, the names
of those who, in the Cabinet, dared
tp resist newspaper dictation.
‘'.ln conclusion—and that time may
test the soundness or fallacy of our
views—we now admonish our friends
and readers to beware of counsels
which teach that the object of this
war is to destroy slavery. We
maintain that its object is to preserve
the Government and the Union. We
desire to express, in the most une
quivocal language, the opinion, that

is surpassed by the fanaticism and
folly of Abolition."
Mr. BROWNING, the neighbor of Presi
4ent Lincoln and a Republican Senator,
representing the State of Illinois, recently
Addressed a large meeting of his fellow
citizens at Quincy, Illinois. The Herald
furnishes the substance of his remarks,
As follows :

.he was opposed to arming them and

time atter arriving at my Regiment. I
so was the President. He was for
found my Regiment on the 26th, at New
the Union as it was, and the Consti- Market. That afternoon we were sent
tution as it is. [ln the utterance of out to skirmish with what was afterward
these truly patriotic sentiments, Mr. found to be the Rear Guard of Jackson's
Browning was loudly and enthusias- army. We had pretty sharp work, and
applauded.l
Mr. Browning denounced the abo
litionists in unmeasured terms. He
_denounced the abolition leaders in
the United States Senate—naming
Sumner, Wilson and others—as dis
loyal— traitors to the country—wild,
deluded, crazy fanatics, who were
bent upon the destruction of the
government. He had no sympathy
with them, and had refused to co-op
erate with them, and should conti lue
to do so. He had marked out his
course, and should pursue it. It
mattered not that some of his old
personal and political friends had
turned against him—he was for the
Union as it was and the Constitution
as it is, and upon that platform lie
intended to stand, though every dol
lar's worth of property that he own
ed in the world should be sacrificed
or destroyed.
He was interrupted by an Aboli
tionist present, who charged him with
having gone over to the Democrats.
Mr. Browning responded that he
was ready to go over to the Demo
cratic or to any other party, or to
act with patriotic men, to whatever
party they might belong, who were
for the Union and the Constitution.
Mr. B. then asked the brazen-faced
Abolitionist if he would be willing
to receive the South back into the
Union with all their constitutional
rights, if the rebels would lay down
their arms to morrow ? As he ex
pected, the crazy fanatic replied no
—he would not l—he would not be
willing to receive the South back un
less they would first abolish slavery.
Mr. Browning said that was just
as he supposed—these Abolitionists
were rot in favor of the Union and
the Constitution, but they would sac
rifice both, and bring the liberties of
the people beyond the hopes of res
urrection, if they could but accom
plish their wicked and traitorous de
signs."
"In regard to the war, he was for
its vigorous, energetic and successful
prosecution. lie tol d his Republican
friends that they could not hope to
bring the war to a successful issue if
they made it a war for the negro.—
The Democrats, he said, would not
co-operate in a war of that sort.—
But confine it to its legitimate, right
ful object—let it continue to be, as
it has been from the beginning, a
war for the Constitution and the
Union, and the Democrats would
work and fight shculder to shoulder
with the Republicans—indeed, all the
patriots, to whateveer party, would
work together."
While earnestly hoping that these
honest utterances of intelligent loy
al Republicans will have an influence
in modifying the radical views of the
extremists, we have, we trust, a.well
founded belief that they will open
the eyes of moderate, patriotic Re
publicans to the dangers into which
their press and party loaders would
plunge them, and iuduce them to co
operate with loyal Democrats in ar-
resting the progress of an organiza
tion whose further success threatens
not only the subversion of the Union,
but the establishment of a despotism
upon its ruins.
50,000 VOLUNTEERS!
Gov. Curtin, in a general order issued
on the Ilth inst., calls for FIFTY THOU
SAND of the freemen of Pennsylvania "to
repel the now imminent danger from inva
sion by the enemies of the country." The
call has been responded to enthusiastical
ly, though the danger seems to be past, as
no rebels have yet crossed the line, and the
soil of Pennsylvania is unpolluted by the
tramp of traitors.
TIED DRAFT,
The necessary preparations for the Draft
are being made by the Commissioner for
this county, and it will begin on Friday
next. The exact number of men to be
raised in this way is not yet determined,
and cannot he until it is ascertained who
and how many men are entering the Vol
unteer Companies now being organized.

and probably making them suffer about
equally. It was between sharp shooters
on both sides, and there was some of the
best long shots made by each party I ever
EEO
.011 the 27th our Division marched on
from New Market in a Southern direction.
After this I took no account of marches.
It was either marching or fighting from
that time on till Saturday. Every day we
lost more or less good men. On Saturday
morning our Regiment was sent to drive
the enemy's pickets off the field of Fri
day's fight. In this we had sharp Work,
but finally did it, and drove them clear
beyond it, and held the field all day till 3
P. M.; but it was one continual fight for
it. At 3 we were withdrawn from the field,
and joined our Brigade. The battles had
just begun in good earnest. Soon the men
of McDowell, on the left, were driven back,
and kept being driven back, until it seem
ed the enemy would not be checked. Soon
the Ist Brigade got the order, "Forward,
double-quick, march !" and forward we
did go, through the reeling forces of Mc-
Dowell, to the front on our right, but about
an hundred and fifty yards was one Reg
iment of the Butternuts, in front two, and
on the left either two or three. Right
then brave men began to fall, but there
was no waver to old Pennsylvania. Soon
the rebels were checked, and then we had
it face to face, but it was too warm for
them. They began to fall back. By
this time it was dark, or nearly so, and
as our cartridges were about gone, we
began to withdraw. Just then I received
a ball in my leg below the knee, which
left me on the field to suffer a night's ago
ny which no pen can describe. The Sur
geons say I will have to lose my leg, as
the bones are two badly shattered ever to
knit again. I don't know bow it will be.
I still stick to it yet, but guess I may as
well give it np, and content myself with a
stump the rest of my life.
Excuse this badly written letter, it was
done on my back, and in a good deal of
pain. So believe me, respectfully yours,

LIEUT. A. R. SELLERS.
In a letter from Washington city to the
Pittsburgh Gazette we find the following
intelligence of our young friend, Lieuten
ant Sellers:—
"Lieut. Geo. W. Pierce is now in Semi
nary Hospital, Georgetown, down with a
slight attack of fever. He is not at all
dangerous, and will be out in a few days.
In the same room with him is Lieut. Sel
lers, Co. I, Bth regiment Pennsylvania Re
serve Corps, of Waynesburg, Greene coun
ty. He was shot through the left breast,
the ball passing through, and having been
taken out beside the shoulder blade. It
was thought that it might have touched
the top of the lung. He is, however, to all
seeming, doing well. I trust this may
meet the eye of bis friends. He appears tp
be a very kind and worthy gentleman."
ANOTHER COMPANY OFT.
Capt. WM. C. LINDSEY'S Volunteer Com
pany left for Camp Howe on Friday last.
It numbered over a hundred tine, muscu
lar fellows, who will leave their "mark" if
they encounter the foe. Before taking their
departure, Rev. Wm. Campbell made them
a pertinent and patriotic speech. They
were also addressed, at the Landing, by
Capt. Lindsey, in a few well-timed and elo
quent remarks.

Our young friend, HEWITT, left on Mon
day last with some 40 additional recruits
for the "Anderson Troop." This squad
;mikes over a hundred enlisted for this reg
iment in Greene County.
11, -FANYINVIVPAIITTMUM-
The policy of ignoring Party seems, just
now, to be very much in vogue in certain
quarters, and especially among Republi
cans. No Democrat, we think, will be
likely to be deceived by such professions,
coming as they do, from men who are ma
king the most vigorous efforts to advance
their own party schemes and private, sel
fish ends. A little observation will show
that those who make the loudest profes
sions of No-Party ism are the very persons
who are most vigorously pursuing their
party objects. These professions, with
such persons, merely mean hostility to the
Democratic party. Ask them to support a
Democrat for office, and you will at once
find what they mean by their clamor for
ignoring party.
It, is only necessary to look at the ap
pointments of the administration, whether
State or National, to see that their profes
sions and practices are widely different.—
Who knows of a Democrat receiving an
appointment from either of these adminis•
trations? Look at the late appointments
of 'Pax Assessors and Collectors under the
United States revenue law,--bas any Dem
ocrat received any of them, or expected
any of them? If so, he was no doubt sadly
disappointed.
The Pittsburgh Post, in speaking upon
this subject, thus aptly remaiks:—
"Last year Democrats were invited to
forego party nominations and to join in the
support of "Union p ickets." As any thing
bearing the name of "Union" is grateful to
Democratic ears, we accepted the proffer
in this and many other States, and in this
county particularly. And what was the
result? In Pennsylvania, where the regu
lar Republican party was saved from over
throw by the hollow truce of the "Union
Tickets," the moment the Legislature met
party lines were drawn as taut as ever.—
Republican nominations for Speaker and
for Treasurer were promptly made and
persistently carried. Men elected by the
trusting confidence of Democratic voters,
forgetting, either through tear or corrup
tion, how they were elected to office, join
ed in the extremest measures of the most
bsgoted Republicans. Thus were we re
paid for supporting the "Union Ticket,"
so artfully put forth by our adversaries,
who broke faith with us, as they always
do.
And how does the Government itself
behave towards a large body of intelligent
citizens—fully half of the voting popula
tion—whose support and approval it de
sires and openly solicits through its news
paper organs and its official persons?—
Does it, unasked, call Democrats to civil
positions of honor or profit? Does it make
its selections from the whole body of ell
Bible citizens, regardless of former politi
cal distinctions? A good Republican
would laugh loudly at the idea that it
should do so, and no Democrat that we
have heard of has been foolish enough
to seek any civil place in the gift of Mr.
Lincoln. So tar, then, as this sort of con
fidence is concerned, the Administration
has carefully withheld it from Democrats.
To point these remarks, let any man look
at the recent appointments for collectors
and assessors, under the new tax-law, in
Pennsylvania. In every case that we are
acquainted, with not only ultra Republi
cans, but rabid Abolitionists, have been
selected—arid Democrats are expected to
give undoubting, unquestioning support to
the Administration, because men who are
daily denouncing them as traitors are fa
vored by Mr. Lincoln with every place of
honor, or trust, or profit! Such is the un
reasonable conclusion. We say nothing
about previous appointments, because
when the present administra.ion first came
into power it asked no favors of Demo
crats or anybody else—and as they did not
invite Democratic confidence they could
not be expected to take any means of
showing that they had any confidence in
the Democrats.
It is needless to repeat that the Democ
racy will, as they have heretofore done,
give to Mr. Lincoln's administration a
hearty and honest support in all its efforts
to put down the rebellion and to maintain
the Constitution, which, he declares, is
the first - Wish of his heart. the first pur
pose of his life. But, however honest
and energetic he and his Cabinet may be,
we believe the Democrats could carry on
the war and conduct the Government bet
ter than they can. We base this preten
sion on the past history of the country,
which makes the proudest record for the
Democratic party that any merely human
association has ever shown. The party
carried the country safely through the
war of 1812, when they beat back a for
eign invader in spite of the bitter disloyal
ty of a section comprising nearly as large
a population, relatively, as the section now
in open rebellion. That party carried us
through the Mexican war, making exten
sive and most valuable acquisitions of ter
ritory, which now supports a large popu
lation of freemen and contains countless
deposits of gold.
The Democrats have shown that their
principles and their ability enable them
to administer this government successfully
—nay gloriously--they therefore do
. not
think it presumptuous in them to aim at
obtaining the control of it. While Mr.
Lincoln rules he shall have from the De-
mocracy a fair, hearty and generous sup
port—this we have always accorded to
him. But if, as we think, the Democrats
can carry on the Government, maintain
the Constitution and laws, and restore the
Union better than Mr. Lincoln and his
party can, and if, by fair and legitimate
means, we can obtain power once more,
we shall certainly dO so, and shall just as
certainly not surrender our party organiza
tion nor sink our political opinions.
