H. SEWARD, Secretary of State under the
Lincoln Administration.
I'VE "UNION MEETING."
Mr. BUCHA NAN'S rejoinder to our arti
cle of last week came to hand too late for
this No. It will appear in our next.
IT CAN'T BE DONE.
For two years past there has beeti an
impudent and studied effort, on the part of
certain Republicans here at Waynesburg
to control and direct the course of the
"Messenger," to make it swear in their
words and support the Administration,
right or wrong, and in all its follies and
assaults on the rights and liberties of the
people. We have been 'denounced as "Se
cessionists," threatened with personal vio
lence, and our office with destruction, be
cause we have DIKED to utter our honest
cony ictions,and have condentnedin decided,
though in temperate and dignified terms,
certain measures of the party in power
which we believe and time will show
were calculated to defeat the avowed ob
jects of this war,—the preservation of the
Government and the restoration of the
Union. But attempts to intimidate us or
drive us from our course and position
.have utterly and signally failed. Know
ing our rights as American freemen, we
.have exercised them, and we shall TO THE
END, come weal or woe. Our political
enemies may traduce and perse) to us,
but they cannot frighten or silence s. We
shall give our humble opinions ‹in all oc
casions, and freely criticise the acts of
our rulers, regardless of the menaces,
the favor or the villification of opponents.
They may be willing to be slaves, but we
are not, and the masses of the people are
not. They have enjoyed the privileges
and franchises of freemen too long to
yield them up without a struggle, or at
the beck and nod of bigoted and insolent
Republican partizans.
We feel we are RIGHT, and that the peo
ple are WITH us, and we shall not shrink
from any of the sacrifices or responsibili
ties of our position. Let every true and
faithful Democrat stand with and by us
in defense of Faif,x Seneca and a FREE
PRESS. While we have these, the public
liberties are safe. "Give me the liberty
of the press," said a great English states
man, "and I will tear down Corruption
from its towering height, and bury it
beneath the ruin of the abuses it was
meant to shelter."
MRS. JOHN IRONS.
This estimable lady, relict of the late
Maj. Jolts Ittoxs. for many years Editor
and proprietor of the "Messenger," died
of Congestive Fever at the residence of
her son-in-law, Capt. Jxo. W. SICILEB, of
Gallion, Ohio, on the 9th inst. It was
our good fortune to know the deceased
long and intimately, having been for near
ly six years an inmate of her house ; and
we risk nothing in saying that she was a
woman of many and rare excellencies.—
Combining a vigorous intellect and re
markable decision of character with great
sweetness of disposition, she commanded
the respect and won the affection of all
who knew her. Though devotedly attach
ed to her husband and children, and a
"keeper at home," no wife ever bad a
larger circle of attached friends ; and
there have been few who sympathized'
more sincerely in the griefs and trials of
tiair neighbors. Her thousand acts of
unobtrusive and self-forgetting kindness
will make her memory precious to many
who read this poor tribute to her worth,
as well as to her surviving relatives. It
may be gratifying to her acquaintances to
know that she died in the triumphs of the
Christian faith, retaining an unclouded
mind to the last and conversing freely
with the friends around her. "Freed from
earth and earthly failing," her spirit is
with the God of "the meek" and "the
pure in heart." She was a gopp AND

On. AUL L MoOLIIRE,
What a Republican says of Dentoefats
We commend the following to thespe
cial attention of certain R,epublicans of
this county who have done little else for
two years past than denounce Democrats
as 'Traitors." Read and profit by what
one of your best and ablest men says :
COL. Attu. McCm:mg.—This distin
guished Republican addressed the Union
Leagues of Chambersburg on Tuesday
evening last. The editor of the Valley
Spirit says of it : We cannot refrain from
expressing the opinion that his speech was
a most remarkable one to be delivered by a
Republican speaker at a Republican meet
ing. He commenced by administering a
powerful rebuke to his partizan friends
for stigmatizing as "traitors" all who dis
agreed with them an polities. These men
had gone from our midst side bl aide with
Republicans, their blood was shed upon
every trattle field, their dead bodies had
been carried through our streets, followed
by a whole community in tears and sor
row. "These men are not traitors," said
the Colonel, "and you know it." He spoke
of the Emancipation Proclamation. Ile
was not prepared to say he would have
issued it, had lie been in Mr. Lincoln's
pasition, and he now declared that if it
stood in the way of the restoration of the
Union it ought to fall, that the Republic
I may live. The most remarkable feature
of the speech was that it did not endorse
a single measure of the Administration,
while the speaker concluded with the sic , -
nificant declaration that he considered
i his first duty to his country, and would
follow that duty, though it might lead him
into a different path from that in which
Ihe had heretofore traveled. It is scarcely
necessary to add that this portion of the
!Colonel's speech met with no sympathy
of applause fortu the "leaguers."
The Democracy of Illinois.
The Chicago, 111., Times says, in an
swer to the many calumnies respecting
the sentiments of the Democrats of that
State, that "there is not in Illinois a fac
tion, and we do not believe there is an in
dividual, of the Democratic party, con
tending for peace at any price.' Ile
Democratic party of Illinois is as perfect
ly united on the question of the war as it
ever was on any question, and its exact
position is stated in the conciliation reso
lutions which passed the House at the
last session of the Legislature by the unan
imous vote of the Democratic members,
and in the resolutions of the large num
ber of Democratic County Conventions
recently held. Not a word can be found
in any of these resolutions looking to a
settlement of the national difficulties on
any other terms than the Union—not one
word. if there is a Democrat: in Illinois
who looks to a settlement of the national
difficulties on any other terms than the
Union, we do not know him, and have
not heard of him."
The 'lndiana Democracy.
The Democratic State Central Commit
tee of Indiana has called a mass conven
tion of the Democrats of that State, to
be held at Indianopolis, on the 20th day
of May next, to take into consideration
the present perilous state of the country.
The following is a brief extract from the
address, which accompanies the call :
"We exhort you, fellow-countrymen, to
come together in that spirit of patriotic
desire, and resolve to Rut aside every sen
timent but love for the sacred principles
of your Government. Come up as one
man, with your affections placed upon the
Constitution, and incited by a firm resolu
tion that its great muniments of liberty
shall be preserved for yourselves and your
posterity forever.. Claim all your rights
under the Constitution, but claim no
more. Assume no obligations unknown
to it, but stand forward with the high
prerogatives of that noblest of all titles,
`American citizen.' fhat is your surest
defence. In the language of Gen. Carring
ton, military commandant of this listrict,
in his late address to the people of In
diana : "The ballot-box and open debate
mark a free people. Trust them.' rhat
which shuns the light of day should not
be done by you. Come out ; abjure their
vows ; reject their tents. Whatever their
name, whatever your party, seek the old
paths, and work as you once did, agreeing
to disagree upon questions of mere party
policy, but never omitting in the support
of the Government and the nation."
A Question Properly Answered.
The New York Times asks the Argus :
Congress has passed sundry laws, calcu
lated to call out the strength and resour
ces of the country, for the prosecution of
the war against the rebellion. Prompt
obedience to these laws seems to us the
best way of uniting the people, crushing
the rebellion, and restoring the Union.—
What has the Argus toga} , to that?
To which the Argun pertinently replies :
The Argus has this to say. The Demo
cratic party is a patty of obedience to the
laws, and any law, not repealed or ren
dered void by a decision of the Courts,
will be obeyed by them. But it is neither
their province, nor is it in their power, to
make an unpopular law acceptable to the
people, or to remedy the blunders of a
weak and incompetent administration.
There is a very clear way to unity and
harmony at the North. Let the policy
of the Administration respond to the pop
ular sentiment of the country, instead of
being narrowed and distorted to meet the
one idea views of a political faction. Let
the Government be administered for the
good of the nation, and not for the bene
fit or gratification of partisans. Let the
war be prosecuted for the restoration of
the Union, and not for the abolition of
slavery.
The National Intelligencer on Horace
Greeley and the Negroes.
"According to Mr. Greeley," says the
National intelligencer.
"Two years of war have convinced him
that twenty millions of loyal Americans,
cannot conquer five millions of insurgents,
and that the 'loyal blacks' of the South
are now the best, if not the last hope of
the Republie. Ife rejoices that 'Young
America' has at least 'had a great deal
of conceit and other nonsense knocked out
of him' during the last two years. We
gre gls,d to learn that the 'conceit' of 4f.

white men have thus far failed to do."

FASHIONABLE CLOTHING FOR MEN
AND BOYS.
Our old friend, NATUANIEL CLARK, op
posite the Court Housa, has associated his
son, ALONZO J., with him in the Clothing
business; and the new firm have recently
opened a. varied and elegant assortment
of Goods in their line. The stock in
cludes every style and make of garments
for men and boys : Hats and Caps, Neck
ties, Handkerchiefs, Shirts and Collars,
and other furnishing goods. The Messrs.
Clark are gentlemen of experience, taste
and integrity, and their representations,
in selling their goods, may be implicitly
relied on. Besides, they sell as cheap as
the cheapest.
WItO ARE TRAITORS.
According to the Abolition way of
thinking—
All are traitors who believed the South
would seoede.
All are traitors who did not believe the
South could be forced back with 75,000
men in three months.
All are traitors who did not believe the
South were almost exhausted at the end
of the first three months of the war.
All are traitors who did not believe that
`250,000 men would speedily end the war.
All are traitors who did not believe the
suspension of the habeas corpus a wise
and just measure.
All those who did not justify the sup
pression of tie press and restriction of
speech are traitors.
All those that believe that the e&rup-
Lions of contractors and certain officials
ought to have been kept before the people
are traitors.
All those who do not believe slavery to
be an element of Southern weakness are
traitors.
All those who believe that the Union
can be preserved without direct reference
to the institution of slavery are traitors.
All who do not believe the President's
emancipation proclamation a wise and
judicious measure are traitors.
All those wibelieve that thepast nine
teen months have developed the fact that
a certain set of politicians are totally un
able to preserve the honor and unity of
the States are traitors.
Mr. Va livindighatn on Peace
Propositions.
Mr. Vallandigham, of Ohio, in a speech
made since his return home, uses the fol
lowing explicit language:
Ou the 12th of last December, when
from the City of Richmond information
came to the City of New York that
there was a disposition to compromise
and return delegates to the national Con
gress, and be obedient to the Constitution
and laws, and thus restore the Union as
it was, the President, on that day, reject
ed the proposition, and the damning evi
dence of that rejection exists in New
York over his own autograph, [cries
"hear, hear,"] but there is an obligation
of secrecy at present, and the letter has
not yet been given to the public. The
day after the Federal army crossed the
Rappahannock into Fredericksburg, under
the belief that Richmond was to fall, and
thus end the rebellion. The day previous
Abraham Lincoln rejected all propositions
to return, over his own signature, and
the day after the hopes of the blind roan
in the White House were dissipated in
the defeat at Fredericksburg, and the loss
of 20,000 of our sons and brothers. He
should have entertained the proposition
on the 12th of December, but he heedless
ly and wickedly drove away all overtures.
Connecticut.
Some of the opposition affect to be
highly gratified at the result of the re
cent election in Connecticut. Last year
the Democrats had forty-six members in
the Lower House of the Legislature ; this
year we have ninety-eight--a clear gain
of fifty-two. Last year we did not have a
single member of the State Senate ; this
year we have nine. Last year the Aboli
tion candidate for Govenor had 9,148
majorit7, this year he has 2,600—a toss
of nearly seven thousand. Does this look
like a result gratifying to the Abolition
ist*? But probably their licatio n
arises from the . facit that they wars oat
9qtirely defeated-- TPaihinlton Frqfp4l7.
MWDZI RAID !
GREAT EXCITEMENT'!
On Monday night last, about 11 o'clock,
a messenger reached Waynesburg from
Hon. W. T. Willey •of Morgantown, Va.,
stating that the Rebels had entered the
latter place about 2 o'clock that afternoon.
They numbered from 2 to 4 thousand, and
were supposed to be in command of Col.
Imboden, the Rebel Guerrilla. Mr. WIL
LEY, (who is known to our readers as late
U. S. Senator from Virginia, and as a loy
al and true man,) escaped to Carmichaels
in this county, in company with 'Squire
PART.
A meeting of our citizens was immedi
ately called in the Court House, and came
oft about 2 o'clock Tuesday morning.
On motion, Wm. T. E. Webb, Esq., was
called to the chair, and Col. R. W. Jones
and J. F. Temple, Esq., appointed Secre
taries. J. A. J. Buchanan, Esq., briefly
stated the object of the meeting, and Gen.
Lazear, Judge Lindsey and miters made
short speeches.
On motion of R. W. Jones, it was unan
imously Resolved, That Jolin C. Flenniken,
W. T. E. Webb, Alfred Myers, J. A. J.
Buchanan, David Crawford, Jos. Wiley,
and Wm. A. Porter, be a Committee of
Safety, whose duty it shall be to call the
citizens together at any time, by the ring
ing of the bell, and to determine what
course shall be taken in this emergency,—
the scouting parties to be under their di
rection, and to report to them, and the
people generally to obey their orders.
2d. That the Committee of Safety be
authorized to aproint a Captain and two
Lieutenants to take charge and control of
the arms and ammunition, and command
any force which may be raised or which
it may be necessary to employ. The meet
ing then adjourned.
The latest report makes the Rebel force
15,000. They are said to be seven miles
from Morgantown, and advancing toward
Waynesburg.
P. S.—Since the above was written,
news has reached this place that the Reb
els left Morgantown on Monday evening
for Fairmount, atter burning several
houses and stealing a number of horses.
Their number does not exceed 500.
L.ANZIE. !!
WEDNESDA.I" Rosman, 8 o'clock.—Jas.
B. Lindsey, of this place, has just re
turned from Morgantown, where he went
on a scout with Rufus K. Campbell and
Samuel A. Porter. He informs us the
Rebels had been re-enforced and returned
to Morgantown yesterday (Tuesday,)
about 11 o'clock. They now number from
12 to 16 hundred, and are encamped on
Keck's farm, two miles from Morgantown.
They were plundering the people of their
goods, were running off hones and other
stock, had burnt Wm. Lazier's prol•erty,
and had shot two men, one by the name
of Piekenpaugh.
Mr. Lindsey states that be, Campbell
and Porter encountered a squad of the
Rebels near Morgantown, and were chased
by them a considerable distance and
fired at. They escaped without injury,
however.
In view of this Raid, and of the fact
that we are exposed, here on the border,
to similar rebel incursions, we suggest
that measures be immediately set on toot
to organize the militia in the several town
ships. The State authorities will doubtless
promptly furnish the necessary arms and
ammunition. Let us have prompt action
in this matter. It has been neglected too
long.
OHICAGO ELECTIONS.--GLORIOUS
DEMOCRATIC TRIUMPH,
CHICAGO, April 12.—The total vote cast
at the election yesterday, was 20,305.
Sherman received 188 majority. The bal
ance of the Democratic ticket was also
elected. The. council stands, 20 Demo
crats, and 12 Republicans.
Michigan
The elections in Michigan have gone
largely Democratic. The city of Detroit
gives the Democratic State ticket for
Judge of the Supreme Court, and the re
gents of the University, about 700 major
ity, yet the telegraph is very quiet about
it.
Illinois.
The Chicago Times says that in that
State the record of Democratic victories
gained this spring will indicate a tremen
dous Democratic majority in the State.
Army Resolations—How Passed
A soldier, in writing from the army to
I his father in this county, says the Aboli
-1 tionists m4nage to get up resolutions for
i political effect at home in this way : The
, Adjutant, or some other officer, steps out
iin front of the regiment and reads a set
I of prepared resolutions, taking care not to
i read very distinctly so that any consider
able number of men may hear. He then
(puts the question—"all in favor of the old
flag will say aye." Of course, the vote is
unanimous; whereupon the resolutions
lare declared passed, and sent home for
publication to serve a party purpose. As
Mr. Lincoln has the appointment of all
the officers, there is generally no difficulty
in the way. The private letters from the
army tell a different story. But if the
administration and abolition party really
have confidence in the soldiers, why not
give them a ballot box and allow them to
vote peace or wart That would fairly
1 test the maftar.—Crawford Democrat.

Twenty six per cent. Government loan at par, is the
universanty of the call. We happened in yesterday,
at the office of-Jay Cooke, who is the agent for the
sale of these loans, and the conversion of the green
backs, and found his table literally covered with orders
and accempasiying drafts for almost all amounts, from
five thousand ao a hundred thousand dollars each, and
from all parts of the Union. The little States of Uela
ware and New Jersey are free takers, as are also Penn
sylvania, New York and the New England States--
But the West is most especially an active taser, as well
through her hunks as by individual.. The amount o f
orders lying before us, all received during the day,
amounted w over fifteen hundred thousand
With this spontaneous proffer of money, Secretary
Chase must teen himself entirety at ease, and will take
care to put himself beyond those money sharpers,
whose chief study is how to profit themselves most
from the troubles of the country amid the necessities of
the treasury. There are euillions of dollars lying idle
all over the country, and while the uncertainty existed
' as to what Congress would do, and the bullion brokers
were successful iu funning up gold to the discredit of
the Government issues, this capital was clutched close;
But as the policy and measures of the Secretary of the
Treasury are gradually developed, confidence in the
Government and in the future is strengthened, and
holders are now anxious to make their long unemploy
ed means productive—hence the ready and liberal in
veetnient in the Five-Twenty loans at par, Almost ev
ery town and village throughout the country has indi

than ever before at one time, for which satisfactory
takers cannot be found. Many of those are now in

ly to oicreas' e.until the demand shall put all the Gov
ernment loans oil a par with, at least, the loans of the
various incorporated companies. The country banks
are also free takers for themselves and their customers.
On the lstofJuly this Floe-Twenty Year loan will, un
der the law, be withdrawit.

YKILADELPIIIA, March 23, 1863.
Dear ~er
Your letter of the 20th Butt. is received, and I wilt
cheerfully give you the information desired by answer
ing your questions in due order.
Ist. These Bonds are called "Five-Twenties" be -
cause, while they are twenty year Bonds, they may be
redeemed by the Government in GOLD at any time
after five years. Many people suppose that the Inter
est is only 5.20 per cent. This is a mistake ; they pay
six pet cent Interest
2nd. Legal Tender notes or checks upon Philadel
phia or .New York that will bring Legal 'renders, are
what the Secretary allows me to receive. No doubt
your nearest Bank will give you a check or Legal Ten
ders Air your country funds.
3d. The Bonds are sold at Pan, the Interest to com
mence the day you pay the money.
4th. I hays made arrangements with your nearest
Bank or Banker, who will generally have the Bonds
on hand. It not, you can send the toe mo-•ey to me
by Express, and I will sena back the Bonds free of
cost.
sth. The Bonds pay six per cent Interest in GOLD,
three per cent every six months, on the first day of May,
and November at the Mint in Philadelphia, or at any
gut... Treasury in New York or elsewhere. If you have
Coupon Hoods, all you have to do is to cut the proper
Coupon oft each six months, and collect it yourself or
give it to Bank for collection. It you have Registered
Bonds, you can give your Bank a power of attorney to
collect the interest for you.
6th. The duties on imports of all ankles front abroad
must be paid in GOLD, and this Is the way Secretary
base gets his gold. It is now being paid into the
Treasury at the rate of Two Hundred Thousand Dol
lars each day, which is twice as south as be needs to
pay the Interest in Gold.
Congrees has provided that the Banda shall be
PAID IN GOLD when due
Sth. You can have either Coupon Bonds payable to
the Bearer, or Registered Roads payable to your order.
9th. The former are in SS's, lOU's, 500's and Io9o's—
the latter in the same amount, also 85,000's and
1.10,000'5.
10th. No 1 You will not have to pay any taxes on
these Bonds if your income from them does not exceed
$6OO ; and on all above $9OO you will only have to pay
one-half as touch Income Tax as if your money was
invested in Mortgages or other Securities. I consider
the Government.-Hoods as first of all—all other Bonds
are taxed one Outer per cent to pay the Interest on
the Government Bonds, and the Supreme Conn of the
United States has just decided that no State, or City,
or county can ever tax Government Bonds.
11th. The present bonded debt of the United States
is less than Three Hundred Millions, including the
seven and three-tenths Treasury Notes ; but the Gov
ernment owes enough more in the shape of Legal
Tenders, Deposits in the Sub-Treasuries, Certificates of
Indebtedness, arc., to inereage the debt to about eight
or nine hundred millions. Secretary Chase has calcu
lated that the debt may reach one thousand, seven
hundred millions, if the rebellion lasts eighteen months
longer. It is, however, believed now that it will not
last six months longer ; but eten if it does, our Na
tional Debt will be small compared with that of Great
Britain or France, while our resources are vastly
greater.
12th. I have no doubt that the revenue will not only
be ample to pay the ordinary expenses of the Govern
ment and all interest on the debt, but leave at least one
hundred millions annually toward paying nff the debt,
and that the Government will be able to get out of
debt again as it has twice before—in a few years atter
the close of the war.
I hope that all who have idle money vi ill at once pm ,
chase these Ylve-Twenty Year Bonds. The right to
demand them fos Legal Tenders will end on the first
day of July, 180, as per the following authorized
notice:
