It regards the preservation of the integrity of the country as the para mount political good, and has sought it at all times and under all circumstances.— No matter what perils have assailed it, or how obstinate or formidable its foes, "the Union of the States" has been the object of its consistent and unfaltering devotion. This has been with it, from the infancy of the organization, an aim paramount in importance to all others. Its very doc trines have given vitality to the Union, while their practical embodiment in meas ures ot national policy has been found, in more than one instance, the sole means of its preservation. Its consistent r .ril for the constitutional and reserved rights ot the States and the people, its uniform ef forts to confine the Federal authority with in its appropriate and constitutional sphere, and its endeavors to maintain fraternal good feeling as well among the people of the States as between the States and the General Government, —these have been the great means, hitherto, of preserving the .national unity. The history of the coun try, and of the unfortunate difrerenee*be tween the two great sections for the Past forty years, bears us out in these asser tions and rebukes the upstarts and libel ers who now, for disgraceful partizan ends, asperse tho loyalty of the Democrat ic party. It saved North and South by its votes and counsels from open rupture in tthe angry controversy on the admission ot Missouri, in 18:20, again in the Nullifica tion troubles of 1832, and still again in 1850 when the slavery agitation ran so high as to call HENRY CL: V from his retirement and fill the mind of every pat riot,. in Congress and out of it., with the gravest alarm and apprehensions. Again, after the Presidential election in 1860, it testified its unswerving attachment to the Union by imploring the leaders of the Republican party "to submit to the people of this country some measure of concilia tion which would save them from civil war. It asked that before we should be involved in the evils and horrors of domes tic bloodshed, those upon whom it would bring bankruptcy and ruin, and into whose Moines it would carry desolation and death, should be allowed to speak."— How its appeals were treated, how they were despised, as its warnings and predic tions had been sneered and hooted at but a few months previously, is matter of too universal notoriety for a word of com ment. But it is said by Republican poli ticians, by way of apology for their con temptuous disregard of Democratic and conservative counsels at. that critical time, that " No compromise would have satis fied the South." This is both absurd and false. But suppose no measure of concil iation, which was proposed, had satisfied them? The tender of it would have met the reasonanle oxpeetatio:.., of the loyal people of the North, and would have uni ted all parties hefe in the prosecution of a war forced upon us by the wicked perver sity of ambitious and designing Southern demagogues. Was not this an object worth attaining?, Most certainly it was, if our Republican friends, who are now elanmring for union end harmony, are to be believed. But this is a digression. The Democratic party has not only ex hibited the most anxious solicitude fcr the preservation of the Union in the past, and through all the dangers which men aced it up to the troubles which resulted ll) this deplorable war, but it is now Us 'coxiamols ALLY PLEDGED TO ITS PERPETUA •7O4, give it the Executive and power in both Houses of Congress, and it will not only restore an outraged Constitution to "strength and dominion," but the Union to all its origins/ vigor. How ? By bringing the war back to its declared pur poses,—by prosecuting it in "no spirit of oppr"ssion, or for any purpose of conquest or subjugation, or purpose of overthrowing or interfering with the rights or established institutions of the revolted States, but to defewil acid maintain 4he supremacy of the Constitution, arid to perpethatorkheiUsion, with sit the dignity, equality, and 3ia4ite of the several States unimpefed." to no other way cat 4he struggla hi success fully terminated, and time will prove it.— The Rebellion would soon be put down Under Democratic direction, but not on the Abolition•pr9gnamme. It is not to be done by proclamations subverting State laws and Constitutions, and disregarding the rights and privileges of freemen, and every day's experience will demonstrate the folly and impracticability of the un dertaking. THE EVILS OF POLITIOAL ABOLI- TIONISM. In 1844, during the Clay campaign, HORACE OREELEY, issued an electioneering tract from the Tribune establishment con taining the following sensible reflections on the evils of Political Abolitionism.— They are in striking contrast with the teachings of the old white-hatted sinner at the present time:-- "We are not fond of alarming topics, nor disposed to excite unnecessary anxiety.— But the evils of political Abolition, rising up in the North, must be faced, and aHE CON SEQUENCES IT TENDS TO must be considered. However averse the people of the free States may be to slavery, (and we beliet,e they are almost universally so,) yet they cannot but feel that the remedy of political Abolition is worse THAN THE DISEASE ; first, because the rudeness and violence of the treatment only aggravates it; and next, , because they fear that the medicine, if ad ministered as proposed, will kill both the patient and doctor. A DISSOLUTION OF THE UNION WOULD BE AS CER TAIN as any effect of a moral cause that can be reckoned. Nor is it likely that this would be the end. The political as perities and exasperations that would grow out of such a conflict would them se!vos naturally be breedeis of other con clusions; and it would be strange if SOME CHRISTIAN or chieftain would not rise up in the struggle to make slaves of all freemen, and bind in stronger chains those whom by such means, it is proposed to set free. "We are a family cf States, bound to gether by a covenant solemnly ratified, which prescribes THE RIGHTS of each. 111 this family concord is beautiful ; family quarrels are the worst oral!. Civil war it tl.e most difficult to be brought to an end. Look to Spain. Will any one say, that such a movement as the POLITICAL ABOLITION OF THE NORTH, does not put in jeopardy the peace of this union, AND THE UNION ITSELF? And can any human fore sight tell what scenes of life it is likely to produce, if it should be encour aged to pass on its way towards the su preme power of the nation, which is now its avowed aim ?" Our readers will not tail to note how literally liorace's predictions have been verified Henry Clay held the following language about the Abolition doctrine : "I am bold to say, hat if the doctrines of ultra politictl Abolitionists had been seriously promulgated at the epoch of our revolution, our glorious independence would have been achieved—never! never !" Daniels. Dickinson, of New York, who has lately gone over to the Abolition camp, thus characterised his Lear-found allies in the Presidential canvass of 1860: "If Satan had been commissioned to scourge mankind, he could not have better fulfilled his commission than by turning an Abolition Disunionist, and preaching the doctrines they preach. * * * What do they care for Slavery ? They would seek to rivet slavery upon thirty millions of people, and upon humanity for all time to come in order that their mad, crude, incendiary ideas, should be carried out, in reference to a few Blacks.' 114-It is commonly reported that money is very plenty, but we have found it extremely scarce among our patrons. We have not received as much since we issued what we thought, an urgent appeal, as would pay the actual expenses of the office during the same period. We will wait to see the result next week, and if our success is not greater than it has been this week, we will try to devise a more effective means to reach delinquents.

"Patriotic people will not support disloyal papers." tp*F - So says the Greene County Repub lican, and it speaks from experience.— That the people will support loyal papers, however, is attested by the fact that we have added largely to our list since the October election, "and the cry is still they come I" Our sympathies are enlisted for our af flicted and kind-hearted neighbor; but we see no salvation for him, unless he for sakes his Abolition treason.

Mr. Lemley and his exeellent lady did every thing that kindness and humanity could suggest for the relief of the poor man's brief but intense suffering. WEST VIRGINIA ADMITTED. The lower House of Congress has pass ed the Senate bill admitting the new State of West Virginia. The vote was 96 to 55. The bill, however, is not likely to be immediately and definitely acted upon by the President, owing to all the circum stances attending the erection of the new State being, of such importance in cennec tioa with the Constitutional question as to require profound consideration. A rntz STOLE BOWL Our neighbor and friend, Witt. A. PORTER, Esq., has recently purchased the "Greene ll.mse" and fitted up a Store Room in the East end of it which, in point of finish, size and ac commodations, is unsurpassed in the county. Ile has also just opened at his new establishment, as well as at the old store room up-town, a magnifi cent assortment of Dry Goods, Trim mings, Fancy Articles, Clothing for men and boys, BootA, Shoes, Ite. The stock is both large and varied, and adapted to the wants of the com munity, and will be sold at very mod erate prices. Mr. PoirrEu deserves great success for his energy and enterprise, which have placed him in the front rank of merchants in this section of country. "Joe," too, is a "whole team, big dog and tar-bucket under the wagon" in the way of selling Goods, and will still "do the agreeable" at the old concern up street. CONGRESS. On the first day of the session, the House tabled a Preamble and Resolution offered by Mr. Cox, of Ohio, condemning the wholesale system of arrests adopted and practiced by the Administration dur ing the past year. Also, a Resolution submitted by Mr. Richardson inquiring what citizens of Illinois are now confined in Forts Warren, Lafayette and Delaware and the old Capitol prison, and any other forts and places of confinement, and upon what charges they were arrested, and also the asking the President to inform the House of the names of the persons ar rested in Illinois and confined in prisons outside the limits of said State ; what charges are against them, by whom made, and by whose authority the arrests were made. Mr. Vallandigham offered a resolution, which was adopted, that the Committee on the Judiciary he instructed to inquire and report to the House, at an early day, by what authority or constitutional law, if at.y, the Postmaster General undertakes to decide what newspapers may, and what shall not, be transmitted through the mails of the United States. The Senate has had a very important debate on the subjet of military arrests, in which Senator Sherman thought many of these arrests wet e great mistakes, and every arrest ought to be reported to Con gress, and the reason for it given, and if this power is to be unlimited, the Govern ment will become oppressive. Congress should throw around this suspension of the writ all the guards and checks neces sary to preserve the rights of citizens and the character of the Government. The people have been exasperated at the man ner of these arrests and discharges, and it was due to the country, and justice and the party that uo man should be arrested for light causes, and these causes and charges should be properly explained and set forth that they may be known, and Congress has a perfect right to call fur all. the information that they may go before the people, ane. be able to explain and de fend all these arrests. Trumbull express ' ed about the same ideas. A joint Resolution has been introduced in the Senate by Mr. Clarke heartily ap proving the President's Proclamation of Freedom, and recommending him to em ploy it and all other means to crush the rebellion. The Abolitionists say it will pass both Houses by large majorities. Mr. Stevens, of Pa., introduced a bill to indemnify the President, and other per eons, for suspending the privileges of the writ of habeas corpus, and the acts done in pursuance thereof. The bill passed; 90 against 45. Representative Hickman's bill, intro duced Monday, authorizes the President to organize regiments of colored men, not exceeding one hundred in number, giving authority to uniform them in some dis tinctive manner, and arm them, enlisting them for a term of seven years or less; the privates to receive six dollars and a half per mouth, and the same allowance for clothing and rations as white soldiers ; non commissioned officers to have the same pay as the same grades in the regular army , commissioned officers, either white or colored, to be graduates of colleges, and to receive twice the pay of the same rank in the infantry of the regular army. Each company to be allowed a teacher or chaplain's clerk. The bill also provides for a line of steamers not less than 1,600 tons, to run between New York and Libe ria, touching Norfolk and Port Royal, to carry such field men as desire to emi grate. It also gives the proceeds of con fiscated rebel property to carry out the provisions of the bill. WOMEN'S LABOR IN BOSTON. The Boston Herald says "Wc arc informed that a large num ber of women in this city and vicini ty are hired to make woolen shirts for soldiers at the pitiable pittance of five cents apiece ! They are hired by contractors who get good prices out of the G, , vernmeat,, and are grow ing rich out of the business. We are further informed that a smart wo man can make two of these shirts in a day, thereby earning ten cents.— If she makes more than two she must slight her work,- and then the soldiers suffer part of the swindle. The wo men who are forced by stern necessi ty to do such work at such a price, or starve, may be the wives, daught ers or sisters of soldiers, who have fallen in battle, or who still stand for the flag of the Union with the Army of the Republic." This happens in the capital of the State i which is so much concerned about the 'condition of the poor negroes in the South. Oar Court is now in session at this place. The number of Common wealth eases is small.

Some weeks ago, Gen. McNeil, com manding a portion of the Govegnment troops in Missouri, shot ten rebel prisoners at Palmyra, because he suspected an old man by the name of Allison (who had been in his service,) had been taken pris oner and murdered by the Confederates.— A Missouri correspondent, however, of the Columbus (Ohio) Crisis now writes that "the man for whom Gen. McNeil shot 10 men some time ago hag returned home alive and well—and his wife, before the execution of those men, went to him (Gen. McNeil,) and plead with him to wait and see if he had been killed, before he executed those men, and the brute spurned her. 1 can write no more." Now, inquires the Washington Review, what will he the result of such proceed ings? The following order from Jeff. Davis, we hope, will open the eyes of the authorities and secure the punishment of the assassin McNeil. Every man who has a son, a brother or•friend in the army —and who has not—is interested in see ing a stop put to a system of retaliatory warfare, that may make every Union per son's life the price for such acts of barbar ity ! Every invalid in our hospitals, and with our army, may be made a sacrifice to wipe out the disgraceful acts of some commissioned outlaw. Will not the gov ernment, blind, blundering and imbecile as it is, see the necessity of stopping these butcheries? [From the Richmond Enquirer, N'ov. 22.1 EXECUTIVE OFFICE, RICHMOND, 1 Nov. 17th, 1862. I To Lieut. Gen. Holmes, Commanding the 2 rans-Mississippi Department : Enclosed you will find a slip from the Memphis Daily Appeal, of the 3d instant, containing an account, purporting to be derived from the Palmyra (Mo.) Courier, a Federal journal, of the murder of ten Confederate citizens of Missouri, by the order of General McNeil, of the United States Army. You will communicate, by flag of truce, with the Federal officer com manding that department, and ascertain if the facts are as stated. If they are so, you will demand the immediate surrender of McNeil to the Confederate authorities, and if this demand is not complied with, you will inform said commanding officer that you are ordered to execute the first ten United States officers who fall into your hands.

Those of our prisoners paroled from Little Rock, writes a Halena, Ark., cor• respondent tell frightful stories of the bar barities of the rebels—stories that would appear incredible were they not corrobora ted by the statement of every man from that point. Not less than a hundred pris oners have been shot in cold blood, with out even a form of trial, and with no com plaint specified againstthem. Others have been confined in dungeons, with barely sufficient food to support life; and others still, have been whipped most unmerciful ly for some slight infraction of the prison rules.

An American citizen has been murdered in cold blood for the crime of being a Democrat! Mr. A. L. Fessenden, of Wis consin, for months past a political prisoner in St. Louis, by order of the "present na tional administration," has died in chains.— A few hours after his death, a n order was received at the prison for Mr. Fessenden's release, as it had been discovered that the accusation against him could not be sus tained. But it was too late ! His proud spirit had departed, and his blood now cries from the ground to his fellow country men for vengeance. Oh how long will justice sleep! ANOTHER VICTIM. Last week we noticed the case of a Mr. Fessenden, of Wisconsin, who died a vic tim of unjust imprisonment, by this ad ministration, in St. Louis. This week we have to chronicle another case—one thßt comes nearer home—the death of Capt. John Elwood, of this' county, by his own hands, in one of the political bastiles at Washington. We have no details of this lamentable death—which leaves a desola ted home—a young and broken hearted widow and two little children who will never again prattle with childish joy at the return of a father.— Washington Review. Stir The majority in the present Con gress promptly lay unpleasant resolutions on the table. This showts pretty well the animus of the body. These resolutions only sleep, however. One year hence they will be otherwise disposed or. The Ad ministration should look to the future, for although slow in coming, it is sure. Bet ter let some of these troublesome quee tions be answered now, for they will have to be answered someday not far distant. riven PRFAUTATION- TO MAJ. I.• J. CREt---13P.tgCH OF GEN. HOWE. Just before the departure of the 108th Regiment of Pennsylvania Militia from Pittsburgh for the seat of war, and when paraded for marching to the cars, Maj. Cree, of Fayette county, was presented, by John F. Jennings, Esq., of this city, with a very handsome regulation sword, together with a sash and belt. The gift is very appropriate, and has fallen into good hands. Major Cree is a true patriot, and although not possessing any large amount of military experience, will make a good officer. The presentation speech was made by Gen. Howe, and responded to by Capt. Cree, uncle of the Major. We are pleased to observe that Gen. Howe paid a deserved tribute to the gal ]ant Col onel of the Regiment—Col. Jack, of Westmoreland county—and that he did not, at the same time, omit to say a kind word to the rank and file. Take it all in all, no regiment composed of better material has ever left this city, and we shall look for good accounts from The regiment being drawn up in solid square, Gen. Howe spoke as follows: Major John Jennings C'rcc:—l have been requested by tny friend and t eighbor, John F. Jennings, than whom no community can boast a better citizen or truer patriot, to present you this sword. As a tribute to his distinguished worth and early friendship for your father, you were chris tened with his name. He recognized in you, Sir, the manly virtues whic:i distin guished the father, and appreciating those qualities of head and heart which thus far iu life have served to regulate your own conduct, he desires now, on the eve of your departure from home to participate in one of the most eventiul contests in the world's hist Dry, that you ahonld bear with you to the field this token of his regard. While he has thus aptly selected the sword as the titling emblem alike of your mission and the rank to which the Gov ernor and the preference of your comrades in arms have assigned you, it cannot fail to remind you that your special errand to the field is. to vindicate the violated laws of your country. In all time, since first revealed to the as tonished gaze of the conscience-stricken parents of onr race at the garden of Eden, it has been regarded as the symbol of Primitive Justice and the majesty of the Law. The Constitution of our fathers, that great fundamental law intended to bind indissolubly, through all coming time, the sevel al States of the Union, is imperiled by the machinations of wicked and am bitious men. Powerful military organiza tions of conspirators and traitors seek the overthrow of the wisest and best govern- went ever instituted amongst men.— Against their marshalled forces let this sword be wielded until the last overt ene my of our institutions shall be brought to submission, and the Constitution and laws again respected and obeyed throughout our whole country. Let me congratulate yon, sir, upon hav ing associated with you as the chief com manding officer of your regiment, one in whom both officers and men may safely confide. Colonel Joseph Jack, in obe dience to the instincts of a genuine pa triotism and the unanimous call of his neighbors, has relinquished the comforts of his home to share with them the pri vations of the tented field, and to care for their wants ; and I am sure that you all feel that the trust could not have been confided to better hands. To your compatriots of every rank let me say that you bear with you a high commission from your fellow citizens at large, who will watch with deepest inter est your every movement, and will not fail to award to each one the true position to which his deeds may entitle him in the recorded annals of a rescued country. And may God grant that When you and your comrades shall return, you may be able to bring with you the sword returned to its scabbard, and along with it the branch of the olive as the emblem of peace to our now distracted country, and the taken that the waters of fatricidal strife have subsided, and long may you be permitted to survive and enjoy the fruits of your participation in so glorious an achievement. Major Cree, on receiving the sword, said, that being unaccustomed to speaking in public, his uncle, Capt. Cree, of the same regiment, would say a few words in his behalf—lie would only say that he would endeavor not to dishonor the giver. Capt. Cree then came forward and said: I have been requested by my esteemed relative to tender to Mr. Jennings some acknowledgment for his handsome testi_ monial of his confidence and esteem.-- We are admonished by sacred history, that it is not becoming " for him who girdeth on the harness to boast himself as he that putteth it off." Then, this, is not the time to indulge in extravagant prom ises of valor to be exhibited on the field— but I hazard nothing in saying that, so far as honesty of purpose and a patriotic desire to do his whole duty are concerned, the confidence reposed in my kinsman is not misplaced. This sword may safely be confided to his keeping—the gift will never be dishonored. After the conclusion of Captain Cree's remarks, Brigadier General Canby ad dressed the regiment in a few words of most excellent advice. He admonish ed the officers that in the important un dertaking in which they were about em barking, strict discipline end a considerate regard for the health and comfort of their men were matters of the utmost impor tance. He urged upon the men, as promo tive of their own best interests, a ready and cheerful compliance with the orders of their superiors; that unity of purpoSe and action could only be preserved in this way, and was indispensable to success. mOlO l Tirorsday, 4th inst., by Rev.
