THE WORK OF THE LATE
'
MEAT THE ABOLITIONISTS THEM
SELVES SAY OF IT.
"Harperle Weekly" is edited by one of
the most rabid and radical Abolitionists
in the country, and its utterances find a
readyecho and endorsement among prints
and politicians of that fanatical and mis
chievous school. In the No. for March
14th an article appears with the caption,
"The Work done by Congress," in which
the enormone power conferred on the
President by the legislative branch of the
Government is fully and frankly acknowl
edged. We transfer this article, almost
'entire, to our columns, in order that our
readers may see the full scope and extent
of the dangerous and dictatorial authority
with which Mr. Lincoln has been invented.
tat no man hereafter deny that the lat,3
Black Republican Congress did everything
they Gould to wake the President abso
lute master of the lives and liberties of
.the• people, sod of their treasure:
But to the editorial in the "Weekly" :
"The Thirty-seventh Congress of the
United States has expired, having, in the
abort session which ended March 4, pass
ed some of the ,most momentous mea
sures ever placed upon the statute-book .
These measures, as a whole, are equiva
lent to the step which, in republican
Rome,' was taken whenever the State was
deemed in imminent danger, and which
history calls the appointment of a Dicta
tor. The President of the United States
has, in effect, been appointed Dictator,
with almost supreme power over liberty,
property, and life—a power nearly as ex
tensive and . Wir irresponsible as that which
is if ieldedAy the Emperors of Russia,
France, or China. And this is well. To
succeed in a struggle such as we are
waging, a strong , central Government is
indispensable. One great advantage
which the rebels have had over us is the
'unity of their purpose, anti the despotic
power of their chief. We are now on a
par with them in these respects, and we
shall see.which is-the better cause.
The measures which collectively confer
upon Mr. Lincoln dictatorial powers con
sist, Ist, of the Conscription Act ; 2d, of
the Finance measures; and, 3d, cf the In
demnity Act.
The 'Conscription bill enrolls all the
Males of the loyal States (including Indi
ans and negroes) between the ages of 20
and 45 into it national militia, and em
powers the President to call them into the
service of,,the United States for three
years or the war. The only exemptions
are the President and Vice President, and
one adult male in every family where
there are aged parents or infant children
dependent-on the labor of their adult re
lative for support. The entire body of the
militia, as thus enrolled, is to be divided
into two classes: Ist, persons between 20
and 35, whether married or single, and
persons between 35 and 45 if unmarried ;
and 2d, married• men between 35 and 45.
It is presumed that the latter class will
not be called upon until the former has
been exhausted. As according to the
census there will remain, in the loyal
States, after deduCting the army now in
the field, some 3,500,000 men liable to en
rollment under this Act; -rand as it is
quite certain that tinder no circumstances
.can so large a number be required. Con
gress has wisely empowered the Exicu-
Live to receive a sum of $3OO from any
drafted man who prefers payingto serving.
This hum, it is believed, will always se
cure • substitute. Clergymen, profession
al men, - large merchants and rnanufactur
*es, and othere, who are of more use to
the country while prosecuting their vari
ous peaceful avocations than they would
be if forced to carry a musket, will thus
be exempted, while the class of men
which take their place will receive money
enough to keep their, families as comforta
bly as if they had remained at home.
'Under the operation of this Act the
President will be enabled to recruit our
at miss to the full standard when the time
'of the nine months' men expires, and the
bepes of the rebels—which have been re
eohoed• by the correspondents of disloyal
, journals—that our armies you'd melt
*lieu in the spring will be thoroughly de
feated. Under this Act the President
, pay keep a million of men in the field
:without difficulty.
' No allusion is made in the Act to the
enlistment negroes. Othei laws are
- held to cover the case, and to clothe the
President. with ample power to enroll and
;negroes •in any part of the country.—
, Wthilse laws Gen. Hunter his a bri
. gads, at :.least; of negro troops at Port
Royal ; -4/en. Banks has several colored
regiments at New Orleans and Baton
Rouge; Gen. Grant has quite a considers
ttle negro force at Vicksburg, and General
Rceecrans—who appears to arm the negro
chiefly with McClettsfi's favorite and
treaty weapon—the spade—.has several
thousand at or wear` Murfreesboro. In a

000, $150,000,000 are to be ordinary Uni-
Q States notes similar to those now in
circulation, and $400,000,000 interest bear
ing notes, to be either a legal tender
themselves or to be exchangeable for it
on presentation. He may furthermore
negotiate, at stay rate which he deems
fair, United States Bonds to run for not
less than ten and not more than twenty
years, and to bear a rate of interest not
over six per cent, said interest payable in
specie. The money market and the purse
of the country are thus placed at the dis
posal of the Government. If the Secreta
ry of the Treasurer can borrow, he has
every opportunity of doing so. If he
cannot borrow, he has the right to manu
facture Money. It is true that such money
—manufactured at the fiat of a Govern
-
ernment—invariably depreciates in tha
ratio of its issues. This is one of the
evils which are usually involved by great
wars, and which are inseparable from the
paper money system. It must be hoped
that we may succeed in crashing the re
bellion before the point of absolute depre
ciation is reached.
Besides this measure, another Act—
Mr. Chase's Bank Act—transfers the en
' tire control of the bank currency of the
country to the General Government. This
Act empowers any individuil or corpora
-1 tion to bank on the basis of Government
securities, and to issue currency, based
on the deposit of such securities, to within
ten per• cent of their market value. It is
not expected that this Act will go fully
into effect during the war, though some
banks in the West will probably he organ
ized under it. But the purpose of the
measure is to institute such a connection
between the public credit and the bank
ing interest as shalt, on the one hand,
give the President virtual control of all
the banks in the country, and, on the oth
er, make every stockholder and banknote
holder in the land an underwriter, so to
speak, of the Government bonds. Of
course, pending the war, any issues of
bank-notes under this Act will merely op
erate to swell the inflation of paper-money.
But, as we said, this inflation is one of
the necessary drawbacks of war
The purse and the sword of the country
thus placed unconditionally in the Presi
dent's hands, it only remained to invest
him with power to protect the Govern
ment from attacks in the rear from insidi
ous traitors at the Nortk. For this pur
pose, Congress passed an Act empowering
the President to suspend the Act of habeas
corpus whenever and wherever he may
deem it necessary.
A REPUBLICAN CITY REDEEMED !
GLORIOUS DEMOCRATIC VICTORY
The “Copperheads” Whip the
" Black Snakes."
The Reading, Pa., Gazette k Democrat
of the 21st of March contains the follow
ing gratifying news:—
Our city election, yesterday, resulted in
a glorious Democratic victory. Notwith
standing the strenuous exertions that were
made by the office-holders under the Ad
ministration at Washington to carry ,the
city in favor. of their unconstitutional Ab
olition policy, the people have declared
against it, and for "the Constitution, as it
is, and the Union as it was 1" The
weather was by no means favorable for
"snakes"—the air was cold, and the sun
shone feebly through the clouds that ob
soured the sky; but yet the "copperheads"
came out in sufficient numbers to whip
the "black snakes" thoroughly. Below
we give the complete returns, which sum
up briefly as follows :
Joseph C. Boyer, (Dem.) is elected
Mayor by 243 majority over David Mc-
Knight (Rep.)
Win. Heidenreich (Dew.) is elected
Treasurer by 267 majority over John
Heller (Rep.) ; and Henry Keeper (Dem.)
is elected Auditor by 238 majority over A.
IK. Stauffer (Rep.)
The two Democratic Constables are elec
ted ; but we regret that Mr. Mengel, the
Democratic candidate for Alderman, is de
lettted by the small majority of 27.
The Democrats also elect their Select
Councilman in, the N. E. Ward, and 11 of
the -16 Common Councilman ;" with an
equal proportion of the other Ward Offi
cers. "Glory enough for one day !"

Hopkins contains his withdrawal from
the contest for the Gubernatorial nomina
tiOn before the convention in June, will be

sentiments approved by every sincere lov
er of our Commonwealth. •
Mr. Hopkins having made up his mind

not to go into the contest, presents his
views as to the character and qualifica

gives utterance to opinions at once so die

HARRISBURG, March 23, 1863.
To the Editors of the Patriot & Union:
GENTLEMEN :—having received many
assurances, from different parts of the
State, that I would be supported for the
nomination for Governor, at the approach
ing Convention, and having made up my
mind not to go into the contest, I deem it
due to those who have thus voluntarily in
dicated their preference, to place before
them, and the public, some of the rea
sons which have influenced me , in coining
to this decision. I have always regarded
the position of Governor as one that ought
not to be sought after, and acting upon
this idea, I have never, personaly, solicited
a vote in my life, notwithstanding my
name has been used in that connection on
former occasions. this having been my
rule of action heretofore, I see no induce
ment for departing from it now. Indeed,
if there ever was a time when the selec
tion of a candidate should be left to the
voluntary judgment of the people, wholly
uninfluenced by the importunities of as
pirants, that time is the present. If we
look abroad over our bleeding country, the
patriot is horrified at the dark, impenetra
ble cloud, which overshadows our politi
cal horizon. All human forecast is baffled
in attempting to solve the problem of our
future, either as a State or nation. We
are in the midst of a crisis, such as the
world has seldom, if ever, seen. The
whole fabric of our government seems to
be tottering to its very base, and none but
He who holds in his hands the destinies of
nations, and of men, can tell what is to
be our fate. The responsibilities that will
devolve on the next Governor of Pennsyl
vania will be appalling beyond precedent.
That there should, at such a time, be a
scramble for the nomination, i s most
amazing. To my own mind it is clear
that those who really comprehend the
magnitude of the difficulties which en
viron us, should be the last to seek the po
sition. Here, perhaps. I ought to stop:—
But when 1 contemplate the vast inter
este at stake, I feel constrained to venture
a suggestion or two in regard to the quali
ties which, I think, oar candidate 'should
possess. This, I trust, I may be allowed
to do, not being one myself. Among these
I will mention that, in my opinion, the
candidate should be a man of experience,
mature judgment, and unquestioned ad
ministrative abilities. He should be a
man of the most indomitable courage, and
firmness such as would enable him to in
terpose a manly' resistance to all infrac
tions of the Constitution, and encroach
ments upon the sovereignty of the State,
and rights and liberties of her eitizens.—
He should be a man of unfaltering fidelity
to the Constitution of the Uniited States
and the Union, as they were founded by
Washington. He should be not only un
tram 2.01 loa by relrporcito wee_ but en
influences.
tirely beyond such Upon
this point too much care cannot be taken,
for it must be apparent to all that this;
influence has, already, made fearful
etrides towards undermining the liberties
of the people. When it is remembered
that within the past five years, some
twenty millions of dollars have been taken
from the Treasury, for the benefit of two
corporations,and that too by the notorious
use of corrupt means, the question may
well be asked, "Is there not imminent per
il to be apprehended from this quarter in
future ?" But above all, the candidate
should be a man of incorruptible integrity,
whole pritate character is "invulnerable,"
and whose public record in the past will
be a sufficient guarantee that his future
will bring no reproach upon our glorious
old Commonwealth. With such a stand
ard-bearer we would go before the people
with a certainty of success.
In conclusion, I desire to tender to all
who have deemed me worthy of so exalt
'ed a position, my profound gratitude,
with the assuratlce that I shall cherish,
with the fondest recollection, these
indications of confidence and regard as
long as I shall live.
I am. very respectfully and truly,
Your friend, Wu. HOPKINS.

resented.
The Union Democratic Club met February
22st ult. at J. 0. Fitzpatrick's to celebrate the
the anniversary of Washington's birthday.—
The President of the club wishing to be ex
cused for the time being, and the Vice Presi
dent being absent, on motion, William Mc-
Cleary was chosen President, pro. tern.
Messrs. Alex. Montgomery, Hugh McClel
land, Esq., Simeon Sprowls, W. L. Batson,
J. D. Carroll and Joseph Martin, were chosen
Vice Presidents, and J. J. Leslie assistant sec
retary. The regular speaker for the day be- -
ing unavoidably detained, D. W. Longdon be
ing present was called on.
Mr. Longdon arose and said, that he was
not a speaker by education or profession but lie
would endeavor to entertain them for a short
time on the important subject, namely : The
character of George Washington, whose birth
day we had met to celebrate—the Father of
our once glorious country, the scholar, the
soldier, the statesman, the christian. Mr.
Longdon delineated very felicitously the char
acter of this great and good man, suited to
every situation in life, first in war, first in
peace, first in the hearts of his countrymen.—
The speaker then concluded by earnestly call
ing the attention of the audience to that part of
Washington's Farewell Address which warned
the American people of the danger of forming
political parties based on geographical lines.—
The fulfillment of this prophecy, he said. was
now being realized by the people of the United
States.
The following toasts were then read.
Ist. "Let the name of George Washington
stand before the world in all its original beauty.
The republic may perish, the wide arch of our
glorious Union may fall, star by star its glories
may expire; stone by stone its columns and
its capitol may moulder and crumble; all oth
er names which adorn its annals may be for
gotten; but as long as human hearts shall any
where pant, or human tongues shall anywhere
plead for true national and constitutional liber
ty, those hearts shall ens[ :Me the memory, and
those tongues shall prolcug the tame of George
Washington."—Jonathan Al lure.
2nd. The name o f George Washington,
known as the father of this once great and
glorious country, shall be held sacred by the
democratic party as long as there is a loot of
soil for an American to stand on.—B. F. Conk
lin.
3rd. Freed am of religion, freedom of the
press, and freedom of persons. under protection
of the writ of habeas corpus, and trial by juries
impartially selected. Then let us make a
grand rally for the preservation of the national
life, the Union and the Constitution of our
fathers ; and for the salvation of government
which Jefferson called 'the world's best hope—
hc noblest fabric ever reared by man."-- On e
that was Merv.
'rhe celebration being finished the club called
on 'J. S. Jennings. Esq., of Waynesburg, who
responded in a brief and patriotic speech, in• ,
terspersect with wit and. humor. His remarks
drew forth cheers front all parts of the assem
bly. Mr. Jennings, after indulging a few min
utes in this way, turned his attention to the
deplorable situation of the United States. He
reviewed the pastvand present political parties,
showing most conclusively, that secession and
disunion was taught in the North, as well as in
South, by the so-called Republican, Abolition
party. He pointed out as the only means of
saving the government, the restoration of the
Democratic party to power. Mr. Jennings
took his seat amidst three rousing cheers for
the speaker. At this point a disciple of
" Father Abraham" appeared- to think that
things . were being said that could not he proven.
Whereupon the Secretary was called upon to
read numerous extracts from Congressman
Conway's speech, and others of the same abol
ition school showing conclusively that the Re
publican or Abolition party has advocated, in
time past, disunion, and still urge the war to be
prosecuted to that effect. At this' juncture
Sainbo's friends, somewhat crest-fallen, cence
ded that nothing had been said but what .could
be proven. B F Conklin wastalled on to read
from the Review. of February 19th, 1863, "the
horrors of Fort Lafayette exposed;"' by E B
Olds. He was listened to attentively.
The club before adjourning gave three groans
and hisses of dis-respect for the Rev. John
Eagleson for marrying Harvey Knifes, a man of
African descent, to Mary Guy, of Caucassian
strain,
On motion, resolved to meet March 21st, at
1 o'clock, p. m.
The officers of the club returned their hearty
thanks to J 0 Fitzpatrick and M Crawford for
their liberal accomodation of club room.
On motion, a vote of thanks unanimously
passed tor the Washington Review, Examiner
slid Waynesburg Messenger, for printing pro
ceedings of the club. Adjourned,

Anderson Cavalry Mustered Out
—Success of General sherman's
Expedition.
CINCINNATI, March 30. The rebel
raid in Kentucly has proved a failure.
The Commercial's Murfreesboro says
that the Anderson Pennsylvania Cav
alry Troop have been 'mustered out
of the service.
The Gazette's Indianapolis special
says : There has been a great reac
tion of public sentiment in this State
since the adjournment of the Legis
lature: No doubts are entertained
of the prompt enforcement of the
conscript law. At no time since the
commencement of the rebellion
have the Union men felt more en
couraged than at the present.
Memphis dispatches say it is known
for certain that the Sunflower expe
dition arrived safely at its destina
tion, and that a large force under Gen,
Sherman has landed above Haines'
Bluff.
Important Irwin Port Hudson'
The New Orleans correspondent
of the World states that on the 9th
inst., a small rebel force was captur
ed six miles below Port Hudson, to
gether with the signal book of the
rebel army. General Sherman is in
command at New Orleans during the
absence of General Banks. Large
numbers of vagrant niggers have
been arrested in New Orleans. A
private dispatch received states that
Com. Farragut passed the Port Hud
son batteries on the night of the 14th
instant with his fleet. Col. Clark,
chief of Gen. Banks' staff, was wound
ed on the 14th, but not seriously.-..
No fight of consequence has yet ta
ken place. Gen. Banks is in vod
spirit arid within five miles of Purt
Hudson. The wounding of Colonel
Clark makes it pretty evident that
there had been some heavy skirmish
ing.
