Destructive only of despotism, it is the sole conservator of lib erty, labor and property. It is the sentiment of Samedom, of earl rights, of equal obligations--the law of natatepetvading the law of the land." WAYNESBURG, PA. Wednesday, March 25, 1863.

S. flee &ELL THE MEETING.. The Democratic Meeting in the Court House, on Tuesday evening of last week, was one of the largest held in the county for years and, one of the most enthusias tic. The speeches were excellent, and re ceived with much applause. The pro ceedings will be found in another column. THE "UNION LEAGUE," THE NEW , SECRET POLITICAL ORGANIZA TION, Democrats, Beware!! We understand a movement is on foot to introduce this new and secret political combination into this county, and that the leading ;Abolitionists are at the bottom of it: It• is only another "shift" and , "trick" of a disheartened and desperate' Opposition, who are :resolved to rule or ruin. the country.. Failing to crush out the Democratic party ky open,fair, honest deal ing, and hard argument, they are determin- ! ed todefeataud destroy it, if they can, by se cret conspiracies and conclaves, and by gill hug and misleading the people. For thisi purpose,. they have banded together in an oathmbound :organization, and ill the sacred name of tbe s "Union" seek to iesttl: loyal and unsuspecting Democrats to re aounce their party ties .and %support the Abolition policy and Abolition candidates. Let no Democrat be deceived by the base swindle, for it is nothing else. Repel eve ry overture of the conspirators and dema gogues who would juggle you out of your principles. They only seek to ensnare you in -thelneslies of Abolitionism, and to' identify you with the party which brought this war on the country and which wants NO UNION but a Union in which they : carr hold the purse-strings'and• the oBfices.l ..I . itand by your country, but stand by your party and your political convictions, fel low-Democrats, and turn a deaf ear to the l mischievous counsels of Abolition fanat-1 ics, who are the only real enemies, at the North, of the Union and Government' your fathers gave you. Your party has se proud record, and its history is the history of the country. Its devotion to the Union and its fidelity to the Constitu tional liberty have been their great safe guards for sixty years, and will prove so in all time to come. If its broad and ear nest patriotism will not restore the Union as it was, no- other means and no other party can. Sectional Republicanism and Abolitionism have shown what they could do toward BREAKING UP THE UNION: bUt they have accomplished nothing, as yet, in the way of restoring it and bringing back the peaceful prosperity and harmony we enjoyed under Democratic rule. Again, we say to our Democratic friends, beware of this mis-called "Union" League. It is only a new disguise of Re publican-Abolitionism,—the same party, in all save name, you have been bat tling against for years. Steer clear of it, and stand by your time-honored principles and the brave obj party•that'es pongee them. Organize thoroughly in all the tdwnitlitps, Get up Clubs, and keep 'your fellow-Democrats from being cheated yput of their opinions by cunning and unscrupulous and disappointed political adventurers. ANOTHER SOLDIER GONE, It ie our painful duty to chronicle the aittli of Sergeant Join 1. Dowxar, son of R. W. Don-xEr, Esq., of this place.— He was a member of Capt. Drum's Com pany in Co). Clark's Regiment, and died ,of Typhoid Fever, brought on by exposure 41ille on picket duty: The deceased was aloung man of many excellentand ami able traits of character,—kind and gener ous as a companion, dutiful and affectioi.- •ate as a son and brother, and gallant and faithful as a soldier. His early and unex pected death is heartily lamented by his numerousacquaintances at home, and will bear sincerely deplored by his comrades in arms, for "none knew hint but to love him, nor named him but to praise."— It should comfort his irieuds to know that HE rm.

Let him remember that "he that be ing often reproved, and hardeneth his neck, shall be suddenly cut off, and that without remedy." To convince our readers that we are not harsh in our judgment of our cotempora ry, we refer such of them as attended the late Democratic meeting in the Court louse to. what purports to be an account .of the proceedings, as it appears in the last number ot the "Republican." THE REBELLION AND THE ADMIN ISTRATION. We invite the special attention of the Abolitionists to a tew plain words on this subject: We are told that there is no power to put down the rebellion but the Adminis tration, and that the condemnation of its measures weakens the power. That is all a fallacy. It is the measures themselves that weaken the power to deal with the rebellion, not any condemnation of them. The Administration has direct ed its skill and energy to aid the rebellion. We affirm this because it is so, and our silence will not make it otherwise. If we have' a cherished object on earth, it is a restoration of the Union, and we shall denounce all measures and practices that throw obstacles in the way of the 1E213 The rebels have not done as much to vender -a Union of the States hopeless, as the Abolitionists and the Administration. )They have multiplied the number of reb `e:lsaiati consolidated their strength. They have'divided the friends of the Union by i the pursuit lei their party objects in this I hour of peril., Instead of chirishing the Union senti ment of the South; they have made war upon it and exterminatedit. These Abolitionists know the effects of ( their measures, and they intend that ef fect. Their professions of a desire' to pre serve the Union can deceive no one. It is , false. They neither desire, expect nor in tend it. They want a country they can rule, and, consequently, don't want the South. We shall not cease to expose the con duct of these disunionists and rebels in the North. They may rail at us, and charge that we- are aiding the rebellion they are trying to put dower They , lie; they are not trying to put it down. They are building it up, and the whole world sees it. Their acts are destroying the cause, not our denunciation of them. LEGISLATIVE EXCURSION TO THE LUCKAWANNA VALLEY. The members of our State Legislative made a visit, by invitation, a few days since to the Lackawanna Valley. At Scranton they were served with a superb dinner, at which divers toasts were read and beeches made. Our noble little county was toasted and noticed in the fol lowing style : Greene County: On the border of "Dixie" but ever true to the Union. Dr: PATTON was called upon to respond "1 come, Mr. Chairman, front the county ly ing away down yonder in the South-west corn er of the State, remotely situated from the great manufacturing interests and commercial cen tres of the commonwealth• But we have our interests none the less dear to us, and though ! inferior in numbers, our population will favora , hly compare with our sister counties in wealth, morality and intelligence. But we, too, under that narrow confined spirit which has occasion ally beset Pennsylvania legislation • have like you been left out in the cold, and t h e beautiful valley of the Monongahela, which in pictur esque beauty and generous fertility is surpassed ' by none in Pennsylvania, has been left to its re ; sources, and it is indebted to the legislature for ; but one public improvement, the Slack Water I Navigation. Our valley is rich, too, in miner als, and though it cannot rival the costly gems ; of Golconda, or the golden sands of California, or the glittering ore of Potosi, like yours, it abounds in deposits of the more useful Black I Diamonds. We should have had a great thor. oughfare through our valley. The route of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad was surveyed along the Monongahela, and that eminent sur veyor and honest man, Jonathan Knight, after wards an efficient member of Congress, pro ; nounced it the natural route to the Ohio.— But owing to unwise legislation, and the self ishness, perhaps, of °O'er localities, the Coot lony was driven to Virginia, and the Slack %later Navigation is the only public improve ment known to the hills of Faytte, Greene and Washington. But, gentlemen, I hopes bright er era dawns upon the State,. and that future legislation will consult the reasonable wishes I of every section, and develope the resources of every part of the Commonwealth. [Applause.] am proud of the compliment you have paid us to-night, and assure you I never gave a vote with greater satisfaction. I believe in letting the people decide. [Applause.] That doctrine is acceptable to the people of my own blue bills, and having acted on that, we gather cheerfully around your festive board, after viewing the great enterprise and astonishing evidences of the triumph of human skill and labor which you have shown us and which have revolution ized the face of nature in your populous valley. I reflect the sentiments of the House when I say that our vote was a free-will offering, and your just due. [Applause.] And I cannot re frain from a good word in behalf of your rep- resentatives, to whose energy, fidelity and per severance you are so largely indebted, and cape-1 cially must I commend the efforts of my big- hearted, big-headed and big-bellied friend ; Capt. Robinson. [Great laughter and cheer ing.) 0011VIOTED. John Leinleyarrwhose trial for the mur der of David liennen came off last week in our Oyer and Terminer, was convicted of Manslaughter and sentenced to -thirteen months' imprisonment in the Western penitentiary. "OUT OF'THE WROL. CLOTH." Our neighbor of the Republican, in his strictures on Mr. Crawford's speech at the late County meeting, says : "Speaking of the suspension of the ha beas corpus, he said the plea of justifica tion—`military necessity, —was the weak est of all pretexts, There are no traitors in thecountry." " By way of comment on the above vera cious extract, it is only necessary to state that Mr. Crawford made no allusion to the suspension of the Habeas Corpus from the beginning to the end of his speech !! NEW HAMPSHIRE, The Democrats have gained sonic Bor 10 thousand on the vote at the last Guber natorial election. There were three candi dates for Governor, and there is no choice by the people, as a majority of the whole vote is required to elect, and Judge East man (the Democratic candidate) fell short a few votes. Ile runs 3 or 4 thousand ahead of the Republican candidate, and if all the Democratic votes had been given to one candidate his majority would have been not less than seven thousand. The State which, in the presidential elec tion, gave Lincoln a majority of nearly twelve thousand (11,638) over Douglas,now gives an anti-Republican majority of at least seven thousand, showing, in that small State, a Republican loss since 1860 of nearly 20,000 votes. Of the three congressmen the Demo crats have elected one, and barely missed electing another. Two years ago they were all Republican by strong majorities. The redemption of New England, so aus: piciously begun in New Hampshire, will be still more cheerfully carried forward in Connecticut. MAINE ELECTION. The late towns election in Maine show great Democratic gains, with a single ex ception, Mount Desert, where there was a change for the worse. In all the other towns the Democrats either carried their local ticleets or largely increased their rote over former years. AN UONEST CONFESSION. ANOTHER AVOWED REPUBLICAN DISUItIONIBT. - - Henry J. Raymond, Editor of the New York Times, and lately the Republican Lieutenant Governor of that State, talked as follows to his brother Republicans in a late speech: "We are about played out as a party.— We played.the 'Maine law,' a good en ough Morgan for- the time being,—but it was played out, a nd. so Abolitionism is play ed out. It may list Lincoln's time out, but if we hold on till•then, there ilfhoLenc of us living that will ever get into public life again, Weed is wisely getting out of the scrape. Greely is fool enough to hang on. The ONLY ROPE there is tor any of us, is CO KEEPON WITH TUE WAR,UDtII the Union is 80 thoroughly slit up that it can never be got together again. A re-union with the South on any terms is death to all the gen eration. But, at ally rate, the "taxes, whioh the people have now begun to feel ; the debt. and the conscription, not yet be gun, but to come, WILL DAMN EVERY MAN C ONCERNED IN LEVYING THEM." "THAT SAME OLD 000 J." If any proof were wanting of the fact that the new-(angled "Union League" party is only Republican ism re-vamped, it may b 3 found in the following Resolution passed by the Republican State Central Com mittee at a late meeting : Resolved, That it be recommended to the loyal citizens of Pennsylvania without distinction of party, to or ganize in each election district ofthe_ State, and form a Union League for the purpose of sustainiag the govern ment in suppressiqg this causeless and wicked rebellion, which now seeks to divide and destroy the 'Re public. THE TONNAGE TAX. The motion to re-consider the Tonnage Tax bill, which was for the second time made in the House, was not agreed to, and the bill is now in possession of the. Senate In its present shape it levies a tax upon the tonnage of all railroad and transporta tion companies, and directs proceedings to be instituted against the Pennsylvania railrioad company for the recovery of the tonnage tax due at the time of the passage of the Commutation Act. It is noc, the bill that Messrs. Hopkins, Kaine, and other anti-railroad men wanted. ENFOROLNG THE DRAFT. , Those who are subject to conscription, land have not $3OO to purchase exemption, should not forget that one object of the Union League, as confessed by the Tele ' graph, is to aid in "enforcing the draft."— The men actively engaged in getting up these Leagues are most of them wealthy men, or men in good circumstances.— They can purchase exemption, and they will ; not one of them will go except, per bape, as an officer, but they are deter. mined to make all poor men toe the mark. Noble patriots ;tint they IP—Atria di Union. A GOOD ONE. The New York World recent published brief extracts from the writings of Wash ington and Madison, in such a manner as not to indicate the authors. One of the Abolition papers of that city referred to the extracts and termed them, " Copper head hisses" of the World. The World then goes back on Mr. Abolition editor and congratulates him 011 the compliment paid to the patriotism of Washington and Mad UM air The radicals try to humbug the soldiers by swearing all are ,disloyal but themselves. This pretense of friendship to the soldiers and their cause appears rather black alongside of the fact. that the conservatives and some Republicans had to stir them up about their remissness in paying the soldiers, while they were wast ing money in feeding contrabands. 26,..0ne of John Bull's papers says: "It. is difficult to say whether the Gov ernment at Washington—since Mr. Lin coln's advent to power—has been more distinguished by its entire and utter dis regard of the plainest and most important provisions ot' the Federal Constitution, or the gross inconsistencies of its policy in regard to the war. One thing, however, is perfectly apparent, and that, too, to the most casual observer of the events of the last two years. Every guarantee of civil liberty in the States has been de stroyed. Every feature of a Republican form of government, has, in effect, been obliterated. About this there can be but one opinion. And what is more singular, this sad work has been accomplished by Congress itself, in the name of liberty, and under the pretense of extending the 'Area of Freedom.' " There ip; some truth in this, Johnny, but we will make it all right yet. Don't be alarmed. It is stated that a draft of five hun dred thou4and men is soon to be ordered. Democratic County Meeting. In pursuance of a call of the Chair man of the Democratic Vigilance Committee. a large and enthusiastic meeting was held in the Court House on the night of the 17th of March, 1863. On motion of Joseph G. Richie, Esq., Chairman of the County Com mittee, PATRICK DONLEY, Esq., was chosen President, and the following gentlemen Vice Presidents: John P. Williams, Esq., Monongahela tp Pierce F. Vernon, Morgan John Conkey, Esq., Riclhill ill David Spragg. Wayne Silas Barnes, Esq.. Washington " Morgan Bell, Morgan "- Wm. Cot terel, Marion Wm. Goodwin, Centre Jesse Andrew, Morris " Augustus Miller, Alleppo On motion of the same, James A: Black and R. 11. Phelan were chosen Secretaries. On motion of Col. R. W. Jones,:the following persons were appointed a committee of Vigilance for the ensu ing year: COMMITTEE OF VIGILANCE. David Crawford, Chairman. Marion tp. Thomas Goodwin, Franklin " Henry Burge, ,W. T.

Vamiatta, Edmund Smith, Jos -Patthrecs, Alfred Fr0..0, R. D. Nrickle Samuel Sedgwick, Isaac Moriord, On motion of john Phelan - , Esq., a committee' '91 4 6-e . persons were ap pointost by' the •Preside_nt to draft resolUtions expressive of the sense of the meeting. The following per sons were appointed :—Joiin Heath Johns, Corbly Garard, Jere miah Spragg and Mark Gordon, Esqs. On motion of the lion. C. A. Black, A. A. Purman, Esq, was called upon to address the meeting, and respond ed in a speech of great vigor and clearness. His speech •ivas received with great applause by the large audience. Mr. Vurnilin was fol lowed by David Crawford, Esq., who addressed the meeting at length, in his usual forcible style. He brought out 'some telling facts against Ole Administration and. its adherents.— lie was vociferously applauded at the close of his remarks. The Committee through its chair man, John Phelan, Esq., teported the following resolutions, which were unanimously adopted : Resolved, That the powers granted by the States and the people to the General Govern ment are distinctly defined in the Constitution of the United States, and that any exercise of power by the General Government. not therein contained, may be resisted by legal and Con 7 stitutional means. 2. That among the rights most clearly de fined in all our Constitutions, whether State or National, is the right to examine and pass upon .he acts of our rulers of all degrees. This may be done in the assemblies of the people, through the press, at the ballot box and in the Courts, and this great right we will not consent to see restricted. 3. That the event of war and insurrection was seen and provided forin the Constitution of the United States ; that by it no citizen is subject to restriction, except the right to the writ of habeas corpus in time of war; that the powers exercised under the Constitution, with this exception, are the same in peace and war— that, consequently, the arrest and imprison ment of the citizen without warrant, issued "upon probable cause," and "supported by oath or affirmation," are acts of tyranny and usurp ation, and subject the offender, no difference how high his official position,to condign punish ment. 4. That no free Government can exist among men without a separation of Legislative, Ex ecutive and Judicial functions into different de partments, each independent of the other in its own sphere. Ile, therefore, who, in a govern mene like ours, holding one of the departments in his hands, seeks to grasp powers belonging to one or more of the others, is an enemy to liberty, and is at heart a tyrant and a despot, and the liberties of the country cannot be safely trusted in his hands. 5. That the suspension of the writ of habeas corpus and the "Indemnity Arty passed by the late Congress are tacit admissions that the pre vious acts of the administration, in arresting and imprisoning citizens, outside of districts te which the war &Meetly existed, were illegal and without the authority of law. 6. That whilst we are unalterably °nosed of +I Union, and are,rtjady t antrilt i ii,it ti yield . (i ' w ile moue', on( influence, and, if neeessuy, our blood, to put-down the rebellion, and toss - store the goverininent .to its former position, we are as decidedly hostile to ' any attempt on the part of the administration 1 to wage the war for the mere purpose of abol.. 1 ishing shivery, and that both men and limey° I should be withheld forany such unconstittionu -1 al purpose, O. 7. That the Democratic party has ever been foremost in maintaining the honor, extending the Territory, controlling the policy, framing the traditions and making the history of the country, and that it can never be otherwise than I a Union party. 8. That we regard the so : called "Union 1 Leagues" as but another device of the Repub lican party to deceive the people—as one of the many names which the opposition to the De -1 mocracy has assumed, to cover merely partisan ' objects and to conceal its odious measures and unpalatable principles. I 9. That the Congress which has just adjourn ed, controlled as it was, by a majority of Abo• litionists, has left behind it a record of infamy never equalled by any legislature in this coun try. It has given the President the control of , the purse and the sword of the nation. and a I power over the persons and the property of' i the citizens ; powers more dangerous than were ever granted to Constitutional monarchs ' in England. 10. That the small band of Democrats and Conservatives in that Congress, deserve to be , held in grateful remembrance by the people for ) their gallant struggle to protect their rights 1 front a despotism more galling than was ever I attempted to he inflicted upon a free people. 11. That we are opposed to the policy of pledging the faith of the Republic to raise hun dreds of millions of dollars to further the Pres ident's scheme of compensated Emancipation. This money must be raised, if at all, by the sweat of the white man's brow, and it will bring I the curse of Negro equality upon our children. ' 12. That the policy of the- present Adminis ,, tration in its treatment of the Negro question, I has not only been injurious to the true inter ' I eqts of that unfortunate race, but has divided the ' I opinion of the North, so necessary to be united I to put down the rebellion, and made the South a unit against the restoration of the Union. i 13. That we hereby express our entire appro bation of the course of our member of Con. I gres, Hon. JESSE LA ZEAR, believing hint to have firmly, uprightly and intellidently discharged the duties committed to him by the people of 1 this Congressional district. ' On motion it was Resolved, That the County Committee of Vigilance be requested to .appoint Township Committees of Vigilance for each township in the county, whose duty it shall be in connection with the members of the County Committee in each township, to select proper persons to hold the Primary Elections, and generally to superintend the interests of the party. On motion of Col R W Jones, the following resolution was unanimous ly adopted : Resolved, That the county commit tee of Vigilance of Greene county, be and are hereby instructed to ap point a committee, whose duty it shall be to correspond with a similar committee to be appointed by the Democratic county committee -of Washington, upon the subject of the next Democratic candidate for Sena tor from this District, and if practi cal to agree upon the county to which the candidate shall be conceded, and how he shall be nominated. On motion of Judge Garard, the last Saturday of May was -appointed as the day of holding the Primary Election.
