That we are for the i3onstita-- Lion as our fathers made it, and for the thall3ol AS it was, said Constitu tion /ming the bond of compact be_ tween op-equal States and sovereign ties, 3. That Without a Constitution thereocould have been no Government and no Union, and that unless there is fealty and salherence to that Con stitution there can beno true loyalty to the Government and the Union. 4. That in time of war, as in peace, the people are not bound to accept, without question, the policy of the Administration ' but claim that the ballot box and free discus sion should be brought to bear to remedy the evils of bad rulers and bad laws. • 5.

Editors :—According to ver bal appointment a few days previ ous, the Democrats of Centre town ship assembled at Rogersville, April 4th, 1863, for the purpose of forming a more perfect organization of their party. Notwithstanding it was rath er qa bad day for snakes," there were a pretty fair turn out of "Cop , - , perheads," and a few ""blacksnakes," also crawled in to take notes, and like the old serpent in the garden of Eden, to misrepresent truth and justice. The meeting was organized by calling James Throckmorton, sr., to the chair, Wm. Heaton, Vice Presi dent, and J. B. Johnson, Secretary. G. W. Ullom was called upon to address the meeting; he responded in a brief but telling speech, claiming the right, under the Constitution and usages of our country, to examine and pass upon the aets of our public officers of all grades; he portrayed in unmistakable language, the in fringement of the Constitution, by the present administration, and the consequent oppression of the peop e and the wrongs perpetrated upon the brave soldiers in the field. After the conclusion of Mr. Ullom's well timed speech, the following Pre ambles and Resolutions were read by the Secretary and unanimously adopted : WHEREAS, The Democracy of Cen tre township, having assembled as freeman, claim the right to reiterate the policy of their time honored par ty, that party which has sustained our country in peace and prosperity, for over eighty years; and feeling the degrading tendency of the negro equality teachings of the Republican party, we feel it our duty as well as our privilege, to proclaim our faith in the doctrine, that the Constitution is the only true basis of executive authority, in peace or war. There fore, Resolved, Ist, That among the privileges guaranteed by our Corstitutions, whether State or Rational, is the freedom of speech, the liberty of the press, and the right to examine and criticise the acts of our public ser vanfa of 411 I:loupes, and this right we will never consent to be deprived of 2d. That no free government, can exist among men, unless the legisla tive, Executive and Judicial powers, be kept separate, and in their differ ent departments, and if he who holds one of the departments, seeks to grasp. powers belonging to one or more ar the others, he is an enemy to liberty, and is at heart a tyrant and despot. 3d. That the Executive declaring martial law over the whole territory of the United States, is mere assum ed power, a power whi-h no free people could confer on an Executive officer and FlainSila free, for it would make him the absolute master of their live's, liberty and property, which are so emphatically guaran, teed by our Constitution, 4th. That the Constitution, saying the President shall be the Command er-in-Chief of the Army and Navy of the United States, and of the militia , of t)ie ovnral ,States, when calked in to aatuai service, (Igoe not mean that he may have military power aodaycit mand over all citizens of tbs trotted States. sth. That any usurpation of the general government upon the rights of the several States, is alike tyran nical and unconstitutional, and tak ing strong State rights ground, we call upon the people to show their firmness and courage in this great crisis of self government 6th. That we denounce the con scription bill as an r.ggression upon State Sovereignty, a usurpation of power without any law or founda- Vioa . , and we will oppose it with all uur power of suffrage. 7th. That the act pas ed :by ,the tate Congress, giving the e4ceeuti,ve the power to suspend the writ of habeas Corpus; is a virtual !ion that the preVious acts efthe ; iiiallang 4 , 111-jak prusomog c aerie, outside of districts in which they werwactual/y arrested, were arhitreury, illegal, .and without the authority of law. Bth. That while we as a free peo ple, feel deeply aggrieved by the in famous speculations and political out rages, of which the party now in power are guilty, among which are midnight arrests and mock trials, we still hold it our duty to advocate the use of all Constitutional means for suppressing the rebellion, and vindi cating the authority of the Constitu tion as it is, and restoring the Union as it was. Esse 9th. That we deprecate the civil war now raging, which will not only prove the destruction of the lives and property of the South, but which will also be the waste of the blood and treasure of the North, and we must not wear out the lives of our brave soldiers in a war for uncertain ends, or to carry out wild prejudices; but the aim of the authorities should be to use their utmost conciliatory means to restore the Union with the least possible injury to both sections, and a speedy peace should be enter ed upon, on the most honorable terms possible. 10th. That as we are assured that a great body of the people of the South are anxious for peace, we are willing to meet them on honorable terms, 11th. That it is not necessary that we should be subservient to any man or party, to insure loyalty, and an honest devotion to our country, and the great principles which the Con stitution of our government embod ies, by which the safety and welfare of our common country are secured, and when those principles are en dangered, every true loyal man must interpose according to his ability, or be e.n unfaithful citizen. 12th. That the confiscation and emancipation proclamation, of the Executive, is mere assumed power, and utterly void for la& of Consti tutional authority to put it in force. 13th. That under the Constitution there is no auth.wity to tax the peo ple of the free States for the purpose of buying the slaves of Southern States, and all debts eontradted, or bonds given for that purpose, we de clare to be utterly void for wait of authority to issue the sane, and will not consent to be taxed for any such purpose. 14th. That we cordially invite all men, without distinction of State, section, or party, who are for the Constitution as it is, and the Union as it was, to join with us in this great work, upon terms of perfect equality. 15th That the brave soldiers in the field. have our heartfelt thanks, and our sympathies aro with the friends of those noble men who have fallen in the service of their country. 16th. That the democracy of Cen tre township heartily endorse the course of Hon. Jesse Lazear, our rep resentative in Congress, .and have unbounded confidence in the patriot ism and ability of Dr. Patton, our SLafe representative. 17th. That we hold that this gov ernment was formed by white men, upon white principles, and we wish to bequeath it to our children the same, 18th. That we rejoice at the ad journment of the late Abolition Con gress, whose highest object was to enslave the white man and elevate the negro; and who done all they could to continue the war and ruin the people. 19th. That the Editors of the Mes senger be requested to give the pro ceedings of thiti meeting and resolu tions a place in their valuable paper. Committee for drafting resolu tions.—Wm Heaton, John C. Riley, George Graham, 0, S. Phillips, John B. Johnson. Rogersville, April 4, 1863. For the Messenger DEMOCRATIC MEETING.

C, Chambers, Secretary. Addresees were delivered by Harmon Barnhart and Thomas J. McCleary, in which they de fended the Democracy from those slander our charges of disloyalty brought against them by the party in power, and eloquent ly denounced the formation of those dan gerous organizations known -as Leagues ; after which the Committee on Itesolutions reported the following preamble and reso lutions which were unanimously adopted ; WIIEREAS, The present unhappy state of affairs in our country has been brought about by a deviation from the true pro ciples of Democracy, and that the restora tion of the Union as it was, and Constitu tion as it is„ depends upon a strict adhe rence to those principles laid down by Washington, Jefferson, and Jacksoo,- - - denouncing sectionalism in all its multi forte. shapes. Therefore .4esolved, That we, as Democrats, frown Arlon every measure, having for its object the infringement of the Constitution, the subversion of the UNION, and the estab lishing of a military despotism for carry, t in out the unconstitutional enactments of the preaent Administration, and we will frown upop : all endeavors to form Leagues —heari og the mune of Union, but which are ugkode4 to crush out the Democrat ic party, and enfore all tbose 4 lnfemone measures of the present Administration ; and we denounce those A.Bouviort psalms "who have stolen the garb of Heaven to serve the Dem in." 2d. That we, as Democrats of this township in common with the county and State, knowing our constitutional rights, dare, in the face of all opposition, clerics.) or military, mainthin them to the end. 3d. That the people are the sovereign power—the only government acknowledged by us—we, as a part of the sovereign peo ple, claim the right to instruct our repre sentatives and the instrumante af OW Win as to the way and manner in whiph siur fortunes are diePosset of, anii we fuyther disclaim all partfcipation iu Ate whpleeate slave . trade of the psweest.

And further, Resolved, That we denounce the higher law doctrine of both Northern and Southern extremists, and are alike oppos ed to Abolitionists and fire-eaters ; and are determined, come what may, to stand for the •`Union as it was, and the Constitu tion as it is ;" and we denounce that dan gerous doctrine which, says, "destroy , the Constitution and violate all law to put down rebellion." But we pledge ourselves to aid in putting down all rebels against the constituted authority in a constitution al way sth. That we denounce, at all times and at all places, those covert and infamous organizations by which the Administra tion gained its power, and by which it is attempting to hold the same. We believe the principles adopted at the formation of this Government, under which we have lived and prospered so many years, were the true principles of liberty, and that the deviation from these safe grounds has resulted in the present unhappy condition of our country. Therefere finally Resolved, That we, the sovereign people, hurl from power that party which has ever been an enemy to our liberties, and supply the place with a true Union and Constitutional party—the unswerving Democracy.

The Democracy of Jefferson and adjoin ing townships, met at Rice's Landing, in large numbers, on Saturday, April 4th.— Speeches were made by Messrs. Sutton, Bryan, P. F. Vernon and Col. James S. Jennings. The Committee on Resolu tions, appointed at a previous meeting, and consisting of Messrs. Samuel Sedg wick, James B. Huffy, Deval, J. Murdock, T. J. Teal, Smith Funk and Samuel Sharpneck, reported the follow ing, which were, on motion, unanimously adopted : Winn4s, The Union was formed by compromise and that alone can cement it together. Each State has her sovereign rights and her local institutions, and no State or general Government can interfere with tbose rights. Each section of this country has its interests that if carried too far, would be detrimental to other sec , Lions, therefore there mast be some ac quiescence from all the different sections that we may live in peace and harmony ! with each other. By this doctrine it will be seen that we hold that those in rebel lion Lave certain rights that must be guar , anteed to them before they will succumb to the laws of the land. The Democratic Party will guarantee these rights to them, and as soon as this is offered, the mass of the people in the South will accept it ! and the leaders will be compelled to suc cumb to the Government. ilcsoived, That the Republicans and Ab olitionists brought the war upon us by their persistent and accursed agitation of the subject of slavery, and proved them selves incapable of bringing it to a suc cessful close or of governing the country, and that the people confidently look to the Democratic party to restore Peace and Union, and preserve their constitutional liberties. 2d. That the war was begun and for a time prosecuted for the sole and avowed purpose of restoring the Union as it was, under the Constitution as it is,----that its diversion from this sacred object to schemes of Negro Emancipation by the President and his Abolition advisers ren ders it a vain and hopeless struggle, and that unless the Administration recedes from its foolish, fanatical and suicidal pol icy and bring the war back to its original purposes, we are for compromise as the only other means of settling the national difficulties and perpetuating the Union. 3d. That the suspension of the writ of Ilabeus Corpus throughout the country is an unwarrantable outrage on a free and loyal people, and that the arrests of pri• rate citizens and their incarceration in forts and dungeons for no other offense than the expression of their honest opin ions is equally monstrous and inexcusable. 4th. That we are earnestly opposed to the proclamation of the President, of the let of January, 1863; we consider it un wise and unconstitutional, and fraught with unmixed evil. sth. That we have unabated confidence in the patriotism, integrity and Democra cy of our Representative in Congress, Gen. J. LAZEAR, and that he has faithfully discharged his duties to his constituents and the country 6th. That we will support no man for office who is opposed to a Union by a fair and honorable compromise,—a UDion under the Constitution of our fath ers, honorabtealike to forth - anti South, a Union which had its origin in conces sion and compromise, and can only be restored and perpetuated by similar 7th. That we approve and endorse the course of the Waynesburg illessengee, that it is a sound, consistent and reliable Democratic journal. Bth.

Morgan a Prix- oner CINCINNATI, April 24.—The Com mercial's specials from Murfreesboro of the 23d say :—Gen. Hazen, at Reedville, reports that a party of refugees bad arrived, who left Mc- Minnville yesterday, stating that Gen Reynold's arrived at McMinn ville on Tuesday evening, capturing two trains of cars, and a train of wagons on the way to Sparta, thirty or forty prisoners, and the wife of General John 11. Morgan. General Reynolds is leading an important ex pedition ; other expeditions have been twelve or fifteen miles in front within two days, and are pressing against the enemy. Information has reached Memphis of fighting on the Coldwater river, thirty miles south. Skirmishing commenced on Saturday evening, and continued during Sunday, but with what result is not known. Col. Richardson, the guerrilla, ayho has operated extensively throughout West Tennessee, is said to have died a few days, ago from the effects of wounds received at Hatchic bridge. The running of the Vicksburg batteries on Monday last by a lot of gunboats and. transports carrying a large force of troops, is confirmed.— The transports were the "Tigress," "Empire City," "Moderator," "An glo Saxon,' "Cheesernan," and 'Har rison." The transports ran past Warreton without difficulty, the reb. el batteries having been previously silenced. Skirmishing at Suffolk. During the last two days, says a Suffolk letter of the 17th, the rebel sharpshooters have been exceeding ly venturesome and annoying on Gen. Terry's front. keeping our men constantly on the alert to pick them off or drive theth back. To change this state of affairs in the quarter referred to, Gen. Terry, at about ton o'clock this morning, had repaired a creek bridge adjacent to a portion of the line under his immediate charge, and sent out as infantry force to accomplish the object referred to above, and quite a lively scene en sued. Our men formed behind some undulating hills, and then advanced in line (deployed) over them. At first the rebel sharpshooters, pickets and videttes stood their ground, pre suming, no doubt, that it was only a few skirmishers out, as usual, for a day's shooting, but as the line of "blues" came in sight on the hills the gray backs took to their heels, until it seemed as though there was a general stampede for the em bankment of the railroad. After this there was a good deal of heavy infantry firing on both sides. The enemy formed in line at the edge of a wood, where we allowed him to remain by himself; we having fully accomplished what we had designed- The command returned with a loss of a few wounded and one or two killed. Acting General Foster had another brush with he enemy to day, driving them back, as usual, to their rifle pits. Important from New Orleans NEW YORK, April 22.—The follow ing is the Herald's New Orleans dispatches : NEW ORLEANS, April 14. —The news to-day from Brashaer City is of the utmost importance The enemy evacuated- his works at Centreville last night, but will prob ably be captured entire as ho is en closed between General Grover's for ces on one side and those of Gener als Emory and Weitzel on the other. He is leaving his guns and ammuni tion behind him. The steamer Diana, lately taken from us, will certainly be recaptured, as the United States steamer Clifton has removed the obstructions in the river and is rapidly approaching her. The ram Queen pf the West was captured from the enemy in Grand Lake, at 10 o'clock this morning.— Captain Fuller, her commander, and all her crew and officers numbering '; ninety souls, are now prisoners at Berwick Bay. The capture of the Queen of the West is most import ant, and I consider the whole affair as a victory of immense advantage to the Union cause. Federal Victory In Tennessee. 3IEMPHIS ' Tennessee, April 21. On Saturday evening three regi ments of infantry and one of cavalry left Memphis on a reconnoitering ex pedition. When near Noncena the cavalry came upon a detachment of Blythe's rebel cavalry. A fight 'en sued resulting in the repulse of the rebels. Next morning the cavalry again attacked the rebels, killing twenty, wounding forty and captur ing eighty. The rebels fled in great confusion across the Coldwa ter river. After crossing the stream they received reinforcements, and our troops fell back to Hernando. The rebels were so severely handled that they did not attempt to follow. At Hernando we were also rein forced by a detachment of infantry and artillery, under Col. Bryant, will, moved to the Coldwater and attacked the rebels on the opposite side of Ike river. The fight lasted unt,;( sun down, and was confined chiefly to the infantry, as the artillery could not be successfully used as was desired. Oar loss was five killed and fifteen wounded. Col. Bryant now holds a strong position. Poland. The Polish insurrection is report ed to be increasing in various direc tions. Sundry conflicts are reported with varying successes.

A Fortress Monroe despatch of the 18th says the following news has been received from Suffolk :—Yester day afternoon the enemy drove back our skirmishers on the Somertin Road, which is Gen. Corcoran's front, and opened on Fort Union with two pieces of artillery. Our forts at once replied to them, and drove them back, Our skirmishers on the South Quay Road drove the enemy back seven miles from our lines. Deserters say that the enemy intends to attack us durir.g this week. A number of guerrillas were prowling about our flanks yesterday, cutting the tele graph wires, which were soon re paired. One man was killed. Both railroads between Suffolk and Nor folk are both in running order, and amply guarded by cavalry patrols.— No, letters are now allowed to be sent forward by flags of truce ex cept to prisoners of war.

The Death of Col Kimball. A letter dated April 9th, from a lieutenant of the One Hbndred and Fifty-fifth regiment, New York, Col. 31 , .Evily's, says : Gen. Corcoran has got into a difficulty which there are many false reports about. The facts of the case are these :—The General while on the discharge of his duty, in company with his staff and John O'Mahony, met with a party who stopped the General and would not let him pass. The general reasoned with him and told him who he was, and his business ; but of no avail.— One of the party drawing his sword and swore he should not pass. The General immediately shot him and passed on, at the same time re marking, "Pick that man up." The man proved to be the Lieutenant Colonel of Hawkins' Zouaves, the Ninth New York. This happened in front attic hospital, half a mile inside the breastworks, where they had no business or authority to stop any one. Latest from Gen. Hooker's Army HEADQUARTERS ARMY or THE Po- TOMAC, April 25th.—Two or three days ago a party of our troops paid a visit to Port Royal, on the Rappa hannock, capturing fifteen or twenty prisoners, a mail and several horses. They also destroyed a quantity of provisions, and some army wagons. The severe rain storm ceased last night, and there is now a prospect of better weather, which will dry up t!,e roads. The rebel pickets inform ours that they have a new General on their side who treat Cite soldiers with groat severity.

The rebels report a loss of ninety killed, but Col. Graham, the commander of the expedition, is of the opinion that the number is greater. We had one wounded and one missing. This result is highly creditable to our troops. Indeed it was a pt.rffect suc cess. Signed, Brig. Gen. Wright. A. E. Burnside, Maj. Gen The Fight at Franklin, Tenn.
