lightly, for it is the abode of a wid ow, whose husband has fallen on the battle field, in defending the -glor ious ensign of the Republic, once known and honored throughout the world." See her as she meekly bows, surrounded by her little ones; hear her as she implores Him who has promised to be "a father to the fatherless and a husband to the wid ow;" see her gushing tears, as she whispers, "0, Father, I would hum bly beseech Thee to put it into the hearts of those who have taken up arms against the government to return to their allegiance, and thus May the further ravages of this ctruel war, that others may be spared from my sad fate." What would be the response of the gentlemen from Allegheny and those who applauded his sentiments on that side of the House, and in the gallery: Would it be a cordial "amen ?" No, sir; I suppose it would be, "we spit upon it." Because, Mr. Speaker, such a prayer is the very essence of the sev enth resolution. Nothing, it seems, will satisfy these gentlemen but blood, more blood. Or in the lan guage of a reverend gentleman, whom I shall notice by and by, the extermination of every man, woman and child in the revolted States.—. In the exuberance of the gentleman's desire to present the resolutions, and those whovoted for them, in as odious a light as possible, be ignored the eighth altogether. That resolution reads thus : "Eighth, That the soldiers composing our. armies merit the warmest thanks of the nation. The country called, 64 no bly did they respoUd. Livihg they shall know a nation's gratitude; wounded, a nation's care, and dying, sheyehaliollive in our memories, and monuments shall be raised to teach posterity to honor the pa triots and heroes who offered their lives at their country's altar. Their widows and orphans shall be adopted by the nation, to be watched over amnd cared for as ob jects truly worthy a nation's guardian ship." And this is one of the series of resolu tions which the gentleman calls "misera ble trash," and this, notwithstanding the gentleman hiniself voted for this particu lar one. I undertake to say, sir, that every Democrat in the Commonwealth would cordially endorse the sentiment herein contained. Mr. Speaker,-we are in the midst of the most terrible civil war that history re cords. We are surrounded by circum stances the most extraordinary that. this or any other country has ever witnessed. Does it not then become the true patriot to pause and inquire, where are we? and whither are we drifting? Some twoyears since a wicked and_ unjustifiable rebellion was inaugurated in a number of the States of this Union, under which an armed force, of from four to six hundred thou sand men arrayed themselves against the authority of the Federal government, itself has marshalled a much larger force to compel obedience to the Constitution and laws, and save both from overthrow. In the Incipiency of this unnatural and deplorable strife, there seemed to be but one object on the part of the government, and that was to restore the supremeacy of the Constitution and the laws over the re volted states. This may be seen by refer ence to the resolution of Congress, passed in July, 1861, which was as follows : "Resolved, That the present deplorable civil war has been forced upon the coun try by the disunionists of the Southern States, now in arms against the Constitu tional Government, and in arms around the Capital: that in this National emer gency, Congress, banishing all feeling of mere passion or resentment, will recollect only its duty to the whole country; that this war is not waged on their part in any spirit of oppression, or for any purpose or conquest or subjugation or purpose of ovbrthrowing or interfering with the rights or established institutions of those States, but to defend and maintain the supremacy of the Constitution, and to preserve the Union, with all the dignity, equality, and rights of the several States unimpaired; and that as soon as these objects are ac complished the war ought to cease." This resolution, Mr. Speaker, was re garded at the time, and for many months afterwards, as the true test of loyalty, throughout all the loyal States, and it was adopted by a Republican House of Repre sentatives, with, I believe, but three dis senting votes. Thum we find the immediate representa tives of the people, in the most solemn and unequivocal manner, defining what the purposes of the war, on our part, were.— With the object of the war thus defined, the patriotic citizens throughout the coun try, without distinction of party, rallied to the support of the government by hun dreds of thousands, and to their credit be it said, they did not stop to inquire who occupied the Executive chair, and, sir, with a patriotism rarely if ever equaled, and a courage never surpassed, tens of thousands of these brave men have laid down their lives on the altar of their country. Yes, sir, the land has been deluged with blood in this fratricidal war, and much of it the best blood of the country; and it is not, perhaps, an exaggeration to say that a hundred thousand widows, and five hundred thousand orphan chil dren, are to-day wailing the loss of hus band and father, to say nothing about fathers and mothers, brothers and sisters, who have lost loved ones. But all this was submitted to with becoming resigns lion: The heart stricken bowed to their sad fate, under the assurance that the terrible sacrifice was made in attempting to sustain the Constitution and Union, as they were bequeathed to us by our fath ers. But alas, how delusive was this fondly cherished hope s based, as it , was, upon the plighted faith of the gore meat. In an rota. the ?resident yielded (as 1 solemnly believe against his own better judgmenty to the seductive in fluences of the radicals who surrounded him, or in his own language, to the "out side pressure," and did that which in his inaugural address, as well as on several subsequent occasions, he declared he had no power to do. is this allegation true? Let the Preeident be hie own witness.— Irf inaugural he said, in speaking of slavery in the States: "I have no purpose, directly or indirect ly; to interfere with the institution of Slavery in the States where it exists. I believe I have no lawful right to do so, and nave no inclination to do so. Those who nominated and elected me did so with, she full knowledge that . I made this and many eimilarAselarations, -and had never re anted them, And more than this, they placed in the platform for my acceptance, ass law to themselves and to me, the clear and emphatic retplution which I -now read." And in • reply tcr a committee of his po litical friends from Chicago, who urged him to proclaim liberty to the slates; he used the following truthful and significant lat.guage "What would a proclaination of eman - cipation from me do, espee,ially as we are now situated ? Ido not want to issue a document that the whole world will see must necessarily be inoperative like the Pope's bull against the comet. Would my word free the slaves, when I cannot even enforce the Constitution in the rebel States? Is there a single court or magic. trate, or individual that would be influ enced by it there ? And what reason is there to think that it would have any greater effect upon the slaves than the late law of Congress, which I approved, and which offers protection and freedom to the slaves of rebel masters who come within our lines ? Yet 1 cannot learn that the law has caused a single slave to come over to us. And suppose they could be induced, by a proclamation of freedom from me, to throw themselves upon us, what should we do with them ? How can we feed and care for such a multitude ? Gen. Butler wrote me a few days since. that he was issuing more rations to the slaves who have rushed to Lim than to all the white troops under his command.— They eat, sad that is all ; though it is true, Gen. Butler is feeding the whites also by thousands, for it nearly amounts to a famine there." Now, sir, I submit whether I am not fully sustained in the allegation, that the President's convictions were against the proclamation, and yet in the face of these solemn asseverations, and in defiance of the clearly expressed will of Congress, he issued his celebrated proclamation, abol ishing Slavery in all the States and parts of States, that were in rebellion on the first day of January, 1863, as well the slaves of loyal as disloyal masters. And here, sir, commenced discontent both in the north, and in the border slave States. All the energies of the administration seem now to be directed towards the con summation of the proclamation,and Ithink . I do not misrepresent, either the adminis tration or Congress, when I affirm that those who fall in battle hereafter, fall, not in a war for the restoration of the "Con stitution as it is, and the Union as it was," but in a war for the abolition ofslavery. And here, permit me to inquire, what new light has been shed upon the .Presi dent, since he told his countrymen, under the solemnities of his oath of office, that he had no power, under the Constitution, to interfere with slavery in the States ? I pause for an answer, Do I hear some one say, "he did it under the war power?" The war power, sir? Why if the Presi dent may do that which the Constitution forbids, under the plea of military necess ity, what is it he may not do ? Sir, he may, under the same pretence, usurp all the powers Gf the Government, legislative and judicial, and proclaim himself mili tary dictator, and thus, with one tell swoop blot out every vestige of constitu tional liberty, to which our Revolution ary fathers offered up their lives. Whose heart does not throb w‘th patriotic indig nation, at the bare suggestion of such an indignity to the memory of our departed heroes and statesmen ? Who does not tremble for our Own freedom, when such a doctrine receives the popular approval ? Could the spirit of Washington visit our distracted land to-day, be would doubt less exclaim, in agony of soul, •'O, my countrymen, did I not warn you to `frown indignantly upon the first dawning of every attempt to alienate any portion of the country from the rest, or to enfeeble the sacred ties which now link together the various parts?' and "did I not admon ish you to beware of the formation of po litical parties, upon geographical discrim inations, Northern and Southern ?'" etc. Mr. Speaker, until something of the same spirit which prompted these utter ances, be cultivated now, as well on the part of the rulers as the ruled, we can have but little hope for the future. Mr. Speaker, I wit I not believe that any further advance will be made iir th e direction I have indicated—l will cling to the hope that better counsels will pre vail, and that the administration may yet be brought back to a realization of the fact that. this war waq "not waged, on our part, for the purpose of overthrowing or interfering with the rights or establish ed institutions of any of the States, but to defend and maintain the supremacy of the Constitution,and to preserve the Union, with *Olie dignity, equality and rights of the several States unimpaired," &c., &c. (concluded next week.) The Dead Come to Life. In New Orleans, a week or so since, one Henry Myers was struck by lightning; an inquest was he'd and life pronounced extinct. The next day every preparation had been made for his funeral, his friends had assembled, the body been duly coffined, the relatives had put on mourning, the hearse and the priest arrived, when the arms of the corpse were observed to move, and very soon, to the amazement of all, the 'lead man sat bolt upright in his cof fin, and after surveying the scene for a few moments, inquired the cause of all the gloomy prepatatfons he saw going on. The electric shock had suspended animation for over twenty-four hours so perfectly as to deceive even the coroner, the man's wife, and all his friends. A Serious Jest On Friday evening a girl named Julia Matthews, fourteen years of age, was instantly killed at the In dia Rubber Works in Newark, New ITeisey. She had been at work dur ing the evening, and after putting oh her-bonnet and shawl to go home, jokingly remarked that she would have a ride upon a shaft which pro jected about a foot through the floor : if it broke every bone in bur body. The shaft was midway between two upright posts about three feet apart, and was turning around quite slow ly. She sat upon it, but her hoops becoming entangled, Jibe was dashed against the post, and before she could be rescued was killed, nearly every bone in her body having been broken. JOY-Col. J.

Ballot Box is the only remedy the ills and evils now upon the cot try, and no one can understand too well the grave issues pending in the present. contest. By order of the County Committe( DAVID CRAWFORD, Ch'n HUMORS OF THE DRAFT. A "conscr;pt" bard, writing for th Portland (Maine) Advertiser gets off som pretty good hits. Below are some spec men bricks :• We're coming, Ancient Abraham, severlal hundr strong, We hadn't no $3OO, and so *c come along: We hadn't no rich parents to pony up the tin. t3o we went unto the Provost, and there were must ed in. We hadn't no "strabismug," nor an greenback piles, do the doctor rasped us over and put us in the files ; Then a bold in tit with a bag'itnt rose up and led tlt e ME And they took us to an island !n the harbor—.-called Mackay, Our "os frontis" was all right, our "ns sternum" wasn't wrong; They cAlled us bully fellows, and so we marched along; We didn't have three hundred just at that serious day, So we took the line of march to the Island of Mackay. There was chaps as had the phrhisis and some as had obstructions ; And aome with tertian ague made curious geuufluc- tions ; And 80111 e, with mounted eye-glass as couldn't see a dray ; So they didn't all go with us to the Island of Mackay. There was some that had gastritis and some were varicose, And out of those unfortunates there is not one as goes; I tried to have "uplift s, but couldn't make it work, kto I goes fora brave soger, and doesn't mean to shirk. We're persuaded to be soldiers, and go to meet the foe, Not having the three hundred of course we're bound to go. But, oh: good Father Abraham, of the money that's paid o'er, Be careful that old Cameron don't get a shilling =EI We're coming, Ancient Abram, "severial" hundred strong, We're coating, Father Abraham, and as we *march •along, We're thinking of the Union and the Constitution, So let alone the nigger and we'll help you put It through. POLITICAL BITTERNESS. The bitterness in polit'cal matters, at this time, is altogether owing to the slan ders and the vulgar and characteristic behavior of the abolition leagues. They have attempted to crush by vulgar abuse and low epithets the law abiding and Con stitution loving majority of 'the people.— They have thought to ride by violence, threats and incendiarism over the decent and conservative majority of society.— That they have been met by a determined spirit on the part of a people who mean to maintain every right and shadow of right at whatever cost, is not strange.— The wonder is that decent men have not reached'the end, of endurance sooner, and taught these mobocrats at an earlier day that they would not further be trampled upon by the destroyers of a country built up by Democratic hands, and made great and glorious through Democratic volicy. So says an exchange. 11Y - It is said that Jeff. Davis, after consultation with the Governors of the Confederate States, has decided to call out half a million of black troops, who are to receive their freedom and fifty sores of land at the end of ,the war. So much for euipLoying darkies in the war. But if it is to be prosecuted for their benefit, let Mesa do the fighting, say David Van Buskirk, who is a Cap tain in the Twenty-seventh Indiana regiment, and a native of Monroe county in tbet State, is the tallest man in the Army of the Potomac._ He is 6 feet 11 inches in his stockings, and weighs 250 pounds, In the last year's campaign in Virginia, he and other tall men of his regi ment were taken prisoners and carried to Rich mond, where they created quite a sensation among the rebeis, who Were surprised to learn that tLe - orthwestern States pfoduced such he Lawrence Massacre.. Leavenworth committee, in ' the sufferers the Law- elusively claimed by none. It is the prop erty of all who honor it, and are willing to march under ite starry folds. These are my notions about it. And while I would refuse it to men who would tram ple it in the dust, or would not be willing to die in its defence, I will lend it on all occasions to those who love the country, her Constitution and her flag. The author of the above letter is a malicious libeller in characterizing the meeting referred to as a "Butternut" (or treasonable) gather ing. From my knowledge of those who participated in it, I believe them to be as sincerely and as honestly patriotic as he or I, or any other man or set of men.— Many of those who participated in the meeting have sons and brothers whose bones lie bleaching on the battlefield without a clod to cover them from the rays of the scorching sun, who died while fighting in defence of that flag. Sixteen years ago I heard this same "Veritas" ar gue in favor of a dissolution of the Union, for the reason that the South were pau pers upon the North, and only seven years ago saw him marching under a flag of sixteen stars. Messrs. 'Editors, I did not suppose, when I declared myself in favor of the re storation of the Union that I had t hereby gone over to the Republican party,— While I claim to be a Union man, I claim to be a Democrat, and what I have to say I say at all times over my own sig nature.

The War In Arkansas CAIRO, ILL,, September I.—Briga dier General Real, and a number of officers from below, passed through here to-day; en route to Johnson's Island, in charge of Lieutenant Wright. The Memphis Bulletin, of the 30th ult., says it learns from Mr. Ray, who was recently a prisoner at Lit tle Rock, Arkansas, that the rebel force at that place is 20,000 strong, many of whom are conscripts from sixteen to sixty years old, and only half armed. They are commanded by Kirby Smith and Price, who are ere cting fortifications on the oppo site side of the river, 13 miles from Little Rock. It is reported that General Brunt is marching on Arkadelphia. Mr. Ray says the people are tired of the war, and would gladly come un der the protection of the .Federal Government. LEAVENwowni, September 1.7--Ad vices to the 21st ult., says that Gen. Blunt with 6,000 men and twelve pieces of artillery, crossed the Ar kansas on the 23rd, but the enemy declined a battle and fell back. Tne rebel force was estimated at 25,000. There has been considerable ickness, but the deaths have been few, however. 'The small-pox pre vails to some extent among the In dians it that neighborhood, many of whom have died. Reports from Fort Scott to the 28th say that Gren. Blunt had had a battle and been whipped, with a toss of 300. QuantreWs Retreat. Quantrell's retreat, says the Leav enworth Times, was marked by all the outrages he and his command could find time to commit.
