"A sentiment not to be appalled, corrupted or
dintapromised. It knows no baseness; it cowers to
tao danger; it oppresses no weakness. Destructive
only of despotism, it is the sole conservator of lib
erty, labor and property. It is the sentiment of
Freedom, of equal rights, of equal obligations--the
law of nature pervading the h. w of the land."

THE COUNTY MEETING.
The Meeting on Tuesday last, notwith
standing it took place at an exceedingly
busy time for the farmer, was largely at
tended, and a most enthusiastic
The speech of Mr. WITTE was one of the
ablest we have heard for years, and was
received with delight by the attentive and
appreciative audience. It was clear, con
vincing, 601 d and manly, and a complete
vindicat:on of the Democratic party from
the foul aspersion of disunionism and dis
loyalty.
The Waynesburg Brass Band "discour
sed moat eloquent music" on the occasion,
and at night serenaded Mr. Witte at the
residence of Gen LAZEAR. In acknowl
edgment of the compliment, "the Gover
nor" made one of the neatest and happi
est speeches it has ever been our privilege
to hear.
COL. SEARIGHT AND JUDGE GIL-
MORE.
These bold and able champions of Dem
ocratic doctrine and policy, and of Consti
tutional liberty, were confidently expected
to address the Mass Meeting on Tuesday
last. It will be seen, by the following let
ter, however, that engagemet.ts at home
prevented their compliance with the gene•
ral desire of our people to hear them on
the grave questions now engrossing publ;c
attention. But it will be gratifying to
know that they will visit us during the
Summer:
,lINIoNTows, Pa., May 14, 1863.
Col. B. W. Jones : Dear Sir—Judge
Gilmore and I tender our grateful ac
knowledgments to the Democracy of
Greene county for their kind invitation, so
handsomely and generously communica
ted by you to be present at their mass
meeting in Waynesburg on the 19th inst.;
but engagements in our own county will
prevent our attendance. Some time during
the coming campaign, when we shall be
free from engagements here, it will give
us great pleasure to visit and address the
noble Democracy of Greene County.
Very respectfully,
T. B. SEARIGHT.
"NO PARTY."
"No party in these times" is the cry of
the Republican politicians in this county,
but in Allegheny, Lawrence and other
counties where they have overwhelming
majorities, their cry is of a very different
character. There they stick closely by
their party organization, keep up their
party drill, nominate party tickets, though
they are generous enough (noble souls !) to
"give up a beloved party name I" ("Did
you ever ?") But here, where they consti
tute a meagre minority, and can only
hopeto damage the Democratic organiza
tion, or get office, by crying "No Party,"
they are incessantly "ringing the changes"
on it. Do these gentleman suppose people
are so verdant as not to understand them
and their hypocritical tactics and profes
sions? If they do, they will find them
selves badly mistakes about the 2d Tuesday
October.
ON FURLOUGH.
Our young friend, Lieut. DAVID TAYLOR,
(eon of Jos. Taylor, Esq., of this place,)
Of Co. A., 140th Regiment, Penna. Vol
unteers, is tat present on a brief visit
to his friends in this place. Ere has, for
some weeks past, been on the sick list,
but is gradually recovering hie health.—
ioDave" is notonly r. faithful soldier, always
ready to discharge his duty, but a cour
teous and amiable f,ellow, beloved by all
his men and by all who know him.
,a -A Republican paper, in noticing a
recent demonstration of its party, makes
Lim following strange announcement :
"The air was rent with the mouse of three
thousand people." The meeting is sup
posed to hare beak composed principally
of ti nny pork contractors; and before its
adjournment it is said a braes band in at-
A D J AF e* played "Root bog or die !"
NOB LAW.
There is no disputing the fact that the
Republican press and many Republican
politicians are largely responsible for the
riotous demonstrations at the North to
ward Democrats within the last few
months. Letters have been dispatched to
the army by intolerant and vindictive Ab
olition partizans intended to inflame the
minds of the soldiers against prominent
Democrats and Democratic journals, and
containing the most atrocious and unmiti
gated lies, and base and unfounded impu
tations on their loyalty. Some of these
have, in turn, called forth threatening let
ters from the deceived and misguided sol
diers, and these letters have been paraded,
with a great flourish of trumpets, in Re
publican prints. In addition to this, many
Editors, of that party have published
threats, from their own pens, of the most
summary vengeance upon all who dared to
question the immaculate wisdom of the
Administration, or who had the temerity
to say a word in behalf of any party but
the great "ring-streaked-and-striped" nig
ger-worshipping organization. These are
facts that cannot be disputed, and a last
ing disgrace to the papers and demagogues
concerned in them. Rendered desperate
by their vain attempts to muzzle a Free
Press and put down Free Speech and the
Democratic party by fair and lawful
means, many of these gentlemen are for
appealing to the knife and bludgeon, and
for sacking and burning the offices of
Democratic papers. While some of thew
openly profess to be for law and order,
they secretly and in a most cowardly and
infamous way, incite to Mobs and vio
lence ; and those who are not wicked and
desperate enough to counsel to such out
rages, when they have been commited,
are base enough to defend and apologise
for them and privately exult over them.—
We concur with a Democratic cotempora
ry that to thinking men and good citizens
there is no cloud so dark in our political
horizon, as that of the endorsement given
by Republican orators and editors to such
lawless acts. These men seem, indeed,
to have nearly reached that point of "the
Despair which is ready for despotism, or
of the Rage which welcomes anarchy."
They must know that Retaliation is the
law tor the lawless—that the aggressors
of to-day may be the sutlerers to-morrow,
and that persecution for opinion's sake, is
well likened to lion-hunting, which is "ex
cellent sport while You are hunting the
Lion, but not so agreeable when the Lion
is hunting You," and yet they wilfully
persist in invoking a spirit they cannot
control, and in usinga weapon which they
know is likely to prove a two-edged sword,
as dangerous to those who strike with it,
as to the attacked. We commend the
following from a Republican journal, the
Philadelphia "Press," to their attention :
There is one policy that can never
lead us astray, and that is, peace and re
spect for the laws. In times of war, when
men's passions are insatiable and bloody,
nothing should be done to excite them.—
Nothing is more terrible than appeal to
the mob. It is one of those fearful ex
hibitions of tumtilt and paelion that pass
over §Qciety like lava from the crater, de
stroying everything, the Pbrubbery, the
weeds, the flowers, things of beauty and
baste as well as things that have no at
traction. The mob is the embodiment of man's
basest passions Invoked by those who have
nothing to lose by anarchy, and nothing to gain
by peace, who see immunity for their own
crime in the crimes of others, and afraid to
strike themselves, make the innocent and igno
rant the instruments and victims of their re
venge, we hardly know whence it comes
or whittler it goes. Like a mad, unthink
ing monster, it varies with every breath,
following one leader to-day, murdering
him to-morrow, and anxious that blood
should be shed merely because it is blood.
There is nothing more easily invoked;
nothing more difficult to quell. You may
summon the familiar, but it departs in its
own time ; you may create a Frankenstein
only to create your own destruction. With
a government and laws, and numbers, ev
ery good citizen, no matter what he may
think, should make it his business to sup
press every lawless thought and feeling.—
I remember the fearful mob that assailed
Mr. Curtis two years ago, and the horror
I felt when I heard men of position, who
happened to differ with the speaker, en
dorse the men who attempted to take his
life. What was wrong then is wrong
now; what was an outrage to the eminent
scholar would be an outrage to any speak
er. If be offends taste, turn away from
him; if he offends the law, arrest him.—
But the power to invoke violence is nei
ther yours nor mine, and it should be
dreaded as an evil that falls upon all men
and all things, and a terror that none can
escape or control."
As to the threats which have been made
against the Messenger and its Editors, we
really care no more for them than "the
idle wind that we regard not." Conscious
that we love our country as well as any
man that breathes, and that we are ready
and willing to do and sacrifice as much to
preserve its beneficent Government and
restore the Union of the States as any
Republican from Maine to Oregon, .we
shall not be overawed by such cowardly
and disgraceful menaces. We have hon
estly tried to discharge our whole duty as
a good citizen and public journalist, and
we shall try to do so hereafter. We have
uniformly counselled our friends to main
tain the order and peace of society, to be
"slow to anger" and still slower to retali
ation for acts of insult and violence. We
deprecate and have sincerely endeavored to
prevent lawless outrages on the persons and
property of men, not because we have
more to lose than other people, or are in any
more danger, but because it, is the plain
duty of all good citizens to do so. Life
is no more to us than it is to others, nor
property, and we are, per haps, as able
to defend them as others, and once for all
we have to say that we shall defend them to
the death. Finally, "be it known that this
I paper intends to print its honest senti
ments as heretofore, in the perfect secur
ity of its own sense of right, heedless of
every intimidation meant to restrain the
publishers thereof from the pursuit of
their lawful avocation, in am
manner
they shall see flt to adopt, under the war
rant of Freedom of Speech and of the
Press, which the Covenant of the people's
liberties guarantees alike to them iaol tui.
We submit 60 the free interpretation of
all whom it may concern, this deliberate
determination. We should infinitely pre
fer to abandon at once the poet we occu
py than to hold it subject to the control of
every chance excitement of the hour."
AN INQUIRY.
EDITORS OF MESSENGER: Gentlemen:—
We people in the country would like to
know what sort of law prevails at Waynes
burg, and what sort of a spirit? And we
would like to know if the people of
Waynesburg approve or intend to counte
nance dangerous assaults on persons from
the country, for no other crime than be
ing Democrats, or expressing their disap
proval of the Emancipation Proclama
tion policy of the Administration, and
condemning Abolitionism ? If so, the
people of my neighborhood are determin
ed to go elsewhere to do their trading.—
They will not patronize men who will tol
erate such outrages, or do business where
their lives are put in jeopardy on account
of their political opinions.
We claim to be as loyal and true men
to the Government as the people of your
town, and we are not willing they should
try us, judge us, or condemn us by mob
law. In a word we have made up our
minds not to submit any longer to . such
outrages, as have lately been committed
on some of us.
I shall sign myself just what I am.
A. FARMER
ANSWER TO THE ABOVE.
In reply to "A Farmer," (and we will
here say he is a farmer, as he represents
himself to be, and a very respectable one,
residing several miles from town,) we will
merely remark that the people of Waynes
burg, with very few exceptions, are a
lawabiding and,peace-loving people, and a
large majority of them entirely disapprove
of the acts complained of by our corres
pondent. And we feel persuaded that
nothing but a desire on the part of well
meaning men not to add to an excitement
already threatening collision prevented
serious difficulties on at least one of the
occasions referred to by "A Farmer."—
We repeat it, that our population is a law
abiding one, and will return violence with
violence only as a last resort.
Our Courts are open, and we doubt not,
if appealed to, will redress the wrongs
complained of by our correspondent, and
it would be well if Republicans would
leave alleged violations of duty by Demo
crats to be punished by the legal tribunals
of the country. Much of the bad feeling
now rife in the land could have been pre
vented if they had observed the Constitu
tion and laws, instead of resorting to vio
lence and martial law.
HAVE YOUR DEEDS RECORDED.
We have several times called the at
tention of our readers to the importance
of having their Deeds of Conveyance re
corded, and again bring the matter to
their notice. In these times, when we are
exposed to Rebel raids, and documents of
this nature may be stolen or destroyed,
every person holding a Deed should at
once put it on record, if they would lot
give themselves future trouble about their
titles to property. The expense is but
trifling, and a small amount spent in this
way now may save you a large sum and
much difficulty at another time. So lose
no time in recording your Deeds, and let
no one neglect it.
BILL McKENNA.
Every body that visits old Richbill on
business or pleasure knows Bill McKenna,
the popular landlord at Gray's old stand,
and a stand-up, strong-backed, rock-water
Democrat he is too. His hotel is among the
best in the county, his table full of deli
cacies and substantials, and his accom
modations, in every respect, all that the
most fastideous guest could wish them.—
Never pass "Bill" without calling, and we
will answer for his good treatment, gener
al cleverness and moderate charges.-
VA LLANDIGHAM.
It is said that Vallandighann bas been
sent South, and not to Fort Warren or the
Tortugas.
In this proceeding, the Republicans are
obeying the command of Jeff Davis. The
Richmond Enquirer, the official organ of
the Jeff Davis Government, in speaking of
Vallandigham and Cox, some time ago,
said: "We wish from our hearts they were
both already safety chained up at the present
wriang. They have done us more harm, they
and their like, than ten thousand Sewards and
Sumners."
'Oh, Dictator Lincoln ! lock ye up those
two Pet ce Democrats—together with Richar
son—in some of your military prisons?'
-..,
ANOTHER ARRIVAL OF CLOTHING.
Nathaniel Clark & Son are in receipt
of a second invoice of Spring and Summer
Clothing, and by all odds the finest lot
brought to this market for years. In ap
pearance, style and substantial make, it is
"hard to beat," and will soon be picked
up. Let all who need any thing in the
Clothing line, call early, if they want to
make selections to their liking.
A WORD TO REAL UNION MEN.
Don't try to please the fellows who are
now crying out "Union ! Union !!" so
lustily.
They are the men who have during
their entire lives labored to break up the
Union. They have not even the merit of
death-bed repentance. Their whole ob
ject is to make political capital. They
wouldn't to-morrow have the Southern
States back in the Union with the un
trammeled right of voting. The are in
deed a set of noisy and dangerous hypo
crites. Distrust them—avoid them,
laugh at their masks, pay no heed to
their abuse. Do your duty to your coun
try, its laws and institutions, and let these
amazing Pharisees play their farce. But
by all means keep clear of their praise—
when they give you that, you may be cer;
Min you have done a mean thing.

at the Battle of Chancellorsville. The

Mr. PURNIAN informs us that the boys
of the 140th are generally well and in
good spirits, and treated him with mark
ed kindness, as did all the men and offi
cers be encountered.
Ate:The Boston Post well remarks that
"a love df the Union and the Constitution
—a detestation of the elements that would
destroy either—makes now and ever has
made, the vitality of the Democracy. It
is the law of its life." In spite of this
fact, a persistent effort is making: to per
suade the people that the Democracy are
not true to the Government. And this,
too, when there is not a prominent politi
cian of the party who has declared for the
separation of the Union, and when hund
reds of the radicals whO are now busy or
ganizing "loyal leagues" are fully com
mitted to the policy of "death to slavery
or the Union." This Greeley scheme starts
with a lie and is a fraud from beginning to
end.
MORE MOBS.
The office of the Democratic organ at
Hollidaysburg, Pa , was destroyed the oth
er day by an Abolition mob. Loss $lOOO.
ANoTnEtt.,--One night about two weeks
ago a party of Abolition scoundrels stole
into the office of the "Mentor," a Demo
cratic paper published in Kittanning, and
destroyed a goodly portion of the type,
&c. The next day the Democrats, with a
number of conservative Republicans, made
good the loss. A large number of the Re
publicans of that locality have since come
out on the side of the Democratic party,
and declared their determination to put
down lawless Abolitionism.
AND YET ANUTIIER.—Week before last,
at the dead hour of midnight,.a mob of
John Brown Abolitionists assailed the
office of the "Sentinel," published at
Cadiz, Ohio. The editor had received an
intimation of the matter from a Republi
can friend, and, with a few others, was in
readiness to receive the mobocrats. A
single pistol shot from the office caused
the ruffians to skedaddle. Those who en
gage in mob work ought to be shot down
like dogs, and the law will justify the kill
ing of them.— Crawford Democrat.
THE WORLD'S TRIAL PRIZE MOWER.
HASTINGS & STREAN, Washing r, Pa.,
take pleasure in announcing to the Farm
ers of Greene county that they are prepar
ed to supply them with Wood's celebrated
"World's Trial Prize Mower."
Among thl numerous Prizes awarded
this Machine, are the following:
At the Great French National Trial,
near Vicenres, under the auspices of Em
peror Napoleon, it took the grand Gold
Medal of Honor, as the beet Mower,
either Foreign or Native, and a special
Gold Medal and 1000 Francs as the best
Foreign ; the grand Gold Medal of Honor
at Gastrow, Mecklenberg Exhibition and
Trial in Germany ; the Great Prize, under
the auspices of Queen Victoria, at Leeds,
England, in the great Quadrennial Trial
by the National Agricultural Society,
where it came in competition with some
twenty American Machines, besides a large
number of European. The trial lasted
some eight days, being the most thorough
practical test ever yet got up.
We refer to the following parties in
Greene county who have purchased and
used the above mower ;
JEFFERSON, GREENE CO., PA .-R obert
Wylie.
WAYNESBURG, GREENE CO., PA.-J C
Flenniken, Esq, Peter Morris, Hon Mark
Gordon, Daniel Throckmorton, 2, Alfred
Myers.
RUFF'S CREEK, GREENE CO., PA.—Geo
Huffman, Hon Benj Ross, John Boyd.
Many valuable improvements have been
added since last harvest, making it the
most perfect and reliable mower in exist
ence.
This Mower is peculiarly adapted to
Steep Ground, from the fact that the
Drive Wheels are lower than any other,
and at the same time nearly four feet
apart, thus making it almost as difficult
to upset as a sled, thus enabling a man to
mow on any ground which he can plow or
drive a sled over.
OVER 12,000 OF THESE MOWERS
have been manufactured and sold during
the last three years, which is about equal
to all the Machines made and sold by all
tile other manufacturers in the United
States.
SierExtras for the Mowers will be kept
in Waynesburg. Persons wishing Mow
ers must leave their order at an early day
with J C Flenniken, Esq, or send to us at
Washington, Pa. •
Mr. Strean will be at this place on
Monday and Tuesday of Court, when he
would be pleased to see all who desire to
urchase. 2t.
VALLANDIGHAWS ARREST-THE
SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC PRESS.
The arrest and trial, by court martial, of Mr.
Vallandigham, continue to attract more than
an ordinary share of popular attention in the
Northern, Eastern, and Northwestern States.
The principal journals to the eastward, Re
publican as well as Democratic, with one soli
tary exception—the New York Times—have
spoken freely on the subject, in deprecation of
the course adopted by General Burnside. The
New York World, the Express, Herald, Tri
bune, Post, and Journal of Commerce, all unite
in regarding his action in the matter as wrong
in principle and dangerous in practice. The
New York Post, in an article attributed to the
pen of the senior editor, Mr. Bryant, whilst ac
knowledging the response of General Burnside
to the writ of habeas corpus to be "patriotic in
spirit and decided in its expressions of loyal
ty ;" thinks that it expreeses "dangerous falla
cies which ought to be exposed." The Post
doubts whether the operation of martial law
can be extended beyond the limits of the field
of active military operation, or that it embraces
civilians within its scope. "When," says the
Post, "domestic turbulence and riot prevent the
exercise of the ordinary jurisdiction ; when the
presence of contending armies drives out the
inhabitants ; when the behests of law are set
at naught by an entire district, there is occa
sion for the strong hand of military power.—
But in other social - conditions the appeal to it is
unnecessary, and, in all probability, hurtful."
The Post asserts that Mr. Vallandigham has
neither committed an overt act of treason, nor
resisted the laws ; that "no governments and
no authorities are to be held as above criticism,
or even denunciation, and that there is no oth
er way of correcting their faults or restraining
their tyrannies "than by open and bold discus
sion." The question is then pertinently ask
ed—"lf Vallandigham's peace nonsense is trea
sonable, may, not Greely's be equally sot If
he =sign the conduct of the war, can
Kr. , who has written a .book on straw
4
gy which is the severest arraignment of it yet
printed? If he may not question the propriety
of Burnside's orders, may the Evening Post, or
a thousand other journals, 'venture to hint a
doubt of the superhuman abilities of General
Halleck ?" In brief, the Post disapproves of
any infringement of the liberty of speech or of
the press, and regards the arrest of Mr. Val
landighant, not only as unconstitutional, but as
setting a dangerous precedent.
The Post, however, seems to forget if this
measure is wrong, as that journal assumes it
to be, the precedent was set long since, al
though no protesting voice was heard till now.
The Boston Courier, in discussing the subject,
boldly says that Mr. Vallandigham "has been
unlawfully arrested, and has been put on trial
before an unlawful commission ;" that the
charges against him "are of no consequence,
considering that the whole proceeding is ille
gal, violent, and of a character which, it submit
ted to, lays civil liberty a murdered victim in i
the dust. The people," adds the Courier,
"are fully conscious of their own strength, and
cannot be trampled under foot. But they re
spect law and love order, and desire nothing
but the right which belongs to them to express
their political opinions by speech and by un
trammelled action at the ballot box " The
New York 4 ribune, whilst treating the matter
of the arrest in a spirit which is intended to be
jocose, but which is nothing but a muddle of
impertinence, remarks, nevertheless, in a semi
lucid interval, that "our Federal and State
Constitutions do not recognize perverse opin
ions and unpatriotic speeches as grounds of in
fliction," and "we don't exactly see how Mr.
V. is to be lawfully punished for making a bad
speech."—Patriot 4, Union.
