PBOU -WASHIHGTOH, [Editorial ioircepondenco of The Agitator,] i Washington, Jan. 14, 1863,;,. • Tit may bo.supposed that the true reflex of public sentiment might be caught at tbo great i political comer of the country. Such is by no means -the fact. • In Washingtobthcro aier many causes at work to vitiate public senti ment and render it unreliable. In the first ! place this is a great human omnium gatherum, j whose tenants ■ are' intent upon ' individually I selfisfa[ objects in the main, and who are not, j therefore,jlisintereated spectators of passing' events. In tbo next place tbere are hordes of disloyal mob nod'women gathered here, Who j occupy their leisure, in correcting false rumors ;.nrtd mamifaeturing a ficticious public senti ment. I The utterances of this class are those which usually find: vent in the telegraphic de spatches to the great metropolitan journals, and thence find their way into thousands of .’.families, to mislead and create discontent. There is one great fact whicbjjrops out here, j and, which I have not yet seem mentioned in . th* leading journals of the country. It relates : to the status of Gen. George B. McClellan; and I the light in which that gentleman’s military ! elevations and depressions are viewed, ft is j not my purpose to co-operate with any class j which expends its energies in the bad"work of j criticising,. factiously, the characters of our -.military leaders. Bat facts are sacred to the i use of the people and must not be covered up •or withheld from public ownership., I propose to state a fact which careful observation abun dantly testifies of. The inferences will be left for. the public to draw. If that fact bears hardly upon Gen. McClellan I cannot help it. If it shall serve to shed some light upon the' secret of bis late popularity, so much ' the better. The fact is, that the howl of indignation raised against tbs Administration on the re-’ moral of General McClellan, and which was raised in this city to be echoed in the'North and West in certain quarters, came'-from a class whose secession proclivities are os well known in this city os any other matter-of-fact and observation. Wherever you find a man who laughs only when we are in the stress of disaster, and looks glum only when the news boys cry “another Union victory!”—and wher ever you find a man tender on “our Southern brethren,” and onr “ wayward sisterswher ever yon find a man who engineers a mail route to Dixie and gets shut up in the Old Capital prison ; wherever you find such men yoq find the noisiest and most zealous friends of Geo. B. McClellan, and the fiercest denoun cer* of hi* removal. Yon shall ■enter Willard’s' Hotel and listen to the' Conversation of the shoulder-strapped gentlemen who most do frequent than rendez vous ; and you will hear those stipendiaries of the Government damning everything bat “ onr Southern brethren,” and landing nobody Cut Fifz John Porter and G. B. McClellap. You -shall' visit the" most doubtful place of public amusement in this city—Canterbury Hall-*-and you will bear songs and sayings in which every good thing is belittled, and in which the only thing landed and magnified is the name of Geo. B. McClellan. Such is uni versal testimony, and I have no reason to doubt its accuracy. I do not suppose that General McClellan is privy to these demonstrations, nor that ’be would feel complimented thereby. But I am quire certain no prominent military men, like Burnside,, Banks,‘Butler 1 and Bosecrans—who believo in putting this rebellion, down by un remitting force of arms—are well thought and spoken of by these classes. The fact is signifi cant. M. H. C. [Kdiloriat-corrcspondedca of Tho Agitator.] Washington, Jan. 17, 1863. The people must; not deceive themselves.— They must hot look forward to a speedy, con clusion of this struggle so long oa the agents and.appliances of power are feebly brought to bear upon the front of Disorder, or lie rusting from disuse. The'.great fact that confronts every seeker-after the truth as regards the con-, duct of this war, is that it has not been rigor ous and effective. I do not forget that the government has bad a monster of treason to contend with ; that it found the machine minus many a screw and lever quite necessary to its harmonious working; that it found traitorous engineers and minor agents in every depart ment. Everything had been tampered with by the agente of men now in arms against the government. In short, no man, unless he was | present at the organization of the new admin | istration, and eaw the almost incredible rain ; .wrought by the weakness and connivance of ! James Buchanan, can-ha a proper judge of the | work that was required to bo done before the , machine could be got into working order. Making-ample allowance for the overwhelm ing difficulties referred to, still I find no apolo gy for tbe inefficiency which has characterized the conduct of the war, save in tbe mistaken magnanimity of the President and his coun selors. It would have been better for tbe na tion had he and they been more human and less humane. War is not a humane pastime. It means force, and breathes slaughter. It wields the sharp sword with the point always to the foe. It means rnin and subjugation to, the enemy, in such guise os it appears npon the stage to-day. The government has fought with a sjbeathsd sword and tompioned cannon. It has granted favor where none was asked and nope accepted. What are tbe conse quences? - . , ■Look abroad. The armed foe is not less fierce, strong, and defiant than when Sumter fill. At home, in the North, see 1 The allies of treason ore meeting, and declaiming, and resolving. Their declamations and their reso lutions breathe hatred of the government, defi ance to good order, and dictation to the Chief TH E TIO GA; C O U KTAT A Ga[ TATO R. Magistrate df the natibn. Theland is* of menace, pot only to the powers that he, hot to the liberties and security ofrjiho loyal States. But a-fewday«-egotho democratic menriiere-of thelegialature.of .this. State voteAfor a,.S.eaalor. of the United States, nnder threats of assassi nhtiopi 'Didany one of them TptexOTrti'aty to the way prescribed in canons ?_ Was Mr. Buckalew the free, choice of the people of Pennsylvania? We deny it. He represents the gullies and assassins ofPhiladelphia, add the servile cowardice of the rebel democracy. How long is it since ony set of men dared to hold'the knife and the pistol in one hand and a vote in the other in this Commonwealth 7 Had treason been taught to quaksiu its shoes by the awful doom (hat jaw and justice affixes to the crime, do you think the State House at Harrisburg would have been tbs rendezvous of an armed mob on the 13 th day of'January, 1863? i I repeat it: ; this gentle dalliance with trai ftors,, this miscalled magnanimity of the gov ernment, has done the republic almost mortal hurt. If it does not bring violence and law lessness to lie in wait in our very midst we may be grateful.' But only preparation for the' worst can now avoid the worst. Wherever treason shows its hateful bead, if the people themselves do not bejv it off, they are lost. If the government canrfqt protect the people the people must protect themselves. At least, if we are men, and desirous, of earning anything but the contempt of posterity, we cannot live under menace, we cannot the dicta tion of a lawless mob. We-must assert our selves, put on the harness of loyal determina tion, and so strengthen the hands and-Quicken the pulses of the government, M. 11. C. When Daniel S. Dibkinson, Benjamin P. Boi ler, Robert J. “Walker, Lewis Cass, Lewis Tre maine, .and others,, broke ranks and arrayed themselves on the side of progress, the old democratic party parted with its best remain ing brains. Douglass, unfortunately, 'did not lire long enough to accomplish- all he had in bis, mind and heart, to do. But be left one declaration on record which not ons of bis re creant followers can remember without the blush of shame.’ Said be in his last speech, “ There can he biii iioo parties in this icar; one for the government and one against it.” The rebel democracy in the North were early to raise a cry, deprecatory of party spirit in this emergency. The administration heard that cry and hastened to respond in a liberal manner. So that to-day the largest share of the patronage of the government in the army and in the several departments is enjoyed by democrats. ‘ Now, how has this liberality been used ? In many instances to the hurt of the government, in more, to kpito the band which gave. And there are, this doy, : Breekinridge democrats in Washington who doily go down on their knees and beg Republican Senators and Secretaries fo give them back their places, or give them new places! The humiliating spectacle may -well, as-Jt certaioly-does, disgust every upright walking man.who.seea it,. And to this miserable remnant of emascula ted stipendiaries is the once glorious’ democra cy reduced! Deprived of its great leaders with the defection of the South and the with drawal if Douglas, Butler, Walker, and Dick inson, it now begs like a Swiss, and when with out success, resorts to the knife like a Malay. The election of Cbas.R. Buckalow was duly celebrated by Messrs. Vallandigham, Voorhces, Cox, and their co-competitors for everlasting shame'in Congress. It was to be remarked, also, that “Secesh” was jnbilant, and more insolent than ever. Vallandigham took occa sion to make an oat-and-out submission speech, in which he flailed the Pilgrim Fathers and their descendants to bis heart’s content. Mr. Vallandigham, and his kind, are very severe on people who have been dead a century or two, which shows that he, and they, are very courageous men,- and - not at all afraid of ghosts, , It is .very proper to remember that'Massa chusetts, alone, furnished more men, and made more sacrifices to win our first independence than all the original slave States pnt together. We apprehend-' that her people have about as much stock in the concern as Messrs. Vallah digbam,- Buckalew and company. And when Messrs. Y., B. &Co., talk of leav ing New England “ out in the cold,” they may as well remember that New England will take occasion to speak for herself in that emer gency. *The Election of Senator. It would not be proper for us to permit the recent election for Senator to pass without ma king a word of reference to the scene attendant apon the canvass. The Democratic leaders hare played many desperate and unscrupulous ventures,', but none can ‘ exceed the last. It seems that there was an indication on the part of many members of tbeir party to be select in their choice ofa candidate for the office of Sen | ator. Many of the candidates were obnoxious to them by reasonof their extreme devotion to the; Sooth, and as loyal men they could not support their election. This difference of opin ion came to the ears of the Democratic State Central Committee, and, as Mr, Hughes bad some hopes of being nominated himself, he took energetic and prompt means to prevent the threatened defection. Trains were charter ed, tickets sold at a nominal rate, and Urge bodies of men taken to Harrisburg. There they roamed around the town, slept on chairs and benches, and- gave their time to dissipa tion and revelry. They threatened and swore and terrified peaceable men. Mr, Randall, our next Representative from the -First district, harangued them at a midnight- assembly in words that can only ho construed as an invita tion to violence, while others, not quite as bold as Mr. Randall, were far more malignant and bitter. The result was, that the House and Senate met surrounded by a mob, and legis lated under the • knives and pistols of lawless men, • ; f This is die, plain afoj'y about the election ‘in Harrisburg,;; The cirgyjnstances surrounding tfeojt act 4T/ high *nd solemn legislation ate shamefubP'Wejym men interest of-4 party'not only defying the law, but deliberate ly -contemplating -thfr-eommission-of- violence and, perhaps, murder. These are the same "men who, a.few months ago, were’so generous in their party discipline. Mr. Randall and bis friends' distinguished themselves in 1860 by opposing the regular nomination of the Dem cracy, and were bold and open schismatics. — When the ruin of the Democratic party served tba cause of the South and Slavery, they assist in its ruin. Now, when its success is desired by treason and slavery, they assist in restoring it, and make death the penally of a refusal to obey theroandatea of its caueus. Wo are anx ious to know when such men as Mr. Randall and his Harrisburg'frienda became so earnest ly attached to party 'sentiments, and whether they remember bow they made themselves con spicuous by their advocacy of a minority candi date against Mr. Douglas. As it is, we have a right to, suspect their loyalty to the party which, before, they abused, but which now they sustain by appealing the the worst passions of our nature. — Philadelphia Press. PBOM HAHBIBBOSG. [Correspondence of Tho Agitator.] Harrisburg, January 13, 1863, M. H. Cobb, Esq.— Bear Sir: I am now seat ed the of Representatives just after the election of a United States Senator, far the purpose ofgiving ybu some of the details, the result having been long since known to you and many of yoor readers, I arrived here on my return from Washington on Monday even ing, and found this little city-heaving under a tremendous excitement in view of the election approaching. ! . ■ For weeks the Democratic press had been (ulminating'artiolos calculated only to irritate the public mind and to intimidate any Demo crat who should vote against the cancus'nomi nee. They entertained fears that all of their members could not be induced to pull together in the support of a “ sympathizer,” and conse quently have been poisoning their readers with the idea that Cameron would buy up one of their number to his support; accordingly, on Sunday evening, two or three thousand Boughs and Plug Uglys cams up from Philadelphia," calculating to intimidate any man who chose to vote as he pleased. Monday all day the city was in a terrible state of excitement. Ten thousand strangers were in town, all talking excitedly over the approaching election.— Drunken men thronged every corner, and pick pockets- did a thriving business. 1 know, of more than a dozen oaseTof robbery, and many of them even committed in the hall 'and ro tunda of the House of Representatives. Over coats and everything else hung up in hotels were carried away, and by the time the elec tion was to come off on this day, (Tuesday,) everything was at fover.heat. Last evening the Democracy nominated Hon. •Charles R. Buekalew upon the seventh ballot. Ha 'received 40 votes to 27 fur’all others, — Frank Hughes was not as strong a candidate as I "expected. He only received eleven votes on tho first ballot’, and gained but little as the balloting advanced. Hughes was much dis appointed at! the result. He sat at my side this morning|at breakfast, and ha remarked to a gentleman \y his side, that he bad always felt sure of'tiding nominated from the fact that he took all the responsibility and the laboring oar at the last election, and he thought his party a little ungrateful, j The Republicans held a caucus last evening butmade no nomination, phd adjourned over until ten o’clock this 1 moaning. Hon. David Wilmofatid Gen. Cameron were the prominent candidates —the former being the choice of at least three-fourths of the Republicans, but bis friends dispaired of facing able to elect him, while tho friends of Gen. Cameron were confi dent of success. 1 ■ ; At ten this morning they again met, and it is but fair to our immediate members, Messrs. Wilson, Bowman and, Olmatead, to sayvthat they earnestly and swongiy persisted in the nomination of Mr. Wilmot. I am infjiirmed that at one time they threatened to convention unless the convention sustained the . course and re-nominated Mr. Wilmot. 1 A reso lution was introduced in caucus, and passed unanimously); -sustaining Mr. Wilmot in his policy, and affirming bis integrity as a man and sagacity as a statesman. I an? Informed that Mr. Bowman made the speech of the caucus. He told them bo, in part, represented the Banner County in this old Commonwealth; that his people, knew David Wilmot from his. boyhood: that when the doctrines of the Re publican party were unpopular, and in their infancy ho took his coat off and promulgated our principles from log school bouses and the street corners, and that they now, to a man, de manded that he at least have the endorsement of our party. But be could give no assurances that he could be elected, as the Democracy had one majority on joint ballot. Cameron’s friends thought he could certainly be elected, and to save our State from being represented for the coming sis years by a peace\t>emocrai, our members, at length, consented that Came ron should be nominated, which was accord ingly done. At 12 at. the Senate entered the Hall of the House of Representatives, and the two bodies resolved themselves into a joint convention, the Speaker of the Senate occupying the Chair. Not one-fourth of the crowd could gain admit tance. The Sergeant-at-Arms for a long time was powerless to. clear the passage-ways, and several “ knucks” had a turn with the officers. A leading Democrat (who thought he was talk ing to a democrat) told me this morning that their plan was, in case any Democrat voted for Cameron, to rash upon him and kilt him and Speaker Lawrence of the Senate, and then put Cameron in a way of not occupying his seat. Bowie knives and pistols wore seen in more hands than one. I saw one member carry a Uncle knife coolly along and plaho it in his desk. In view, of a Democratic row, four or five hundried men came up.from the Navy Yard and Custom House last evening, so that at this hour the contending forces were about .equal. , Order being restored the voting commenced, which waa co.nducted amid death-like stillness. The Democracy expected that two of their members would vote for Cameron, and when their names were called and they responded for Buckalew a hum of applause ran over the" Democratic side. > . ' The result of tho volihg was sixty-seven for ■Buckalew, sixty-five for Cameron, and one {La porte) for Win. D. Kelly.- .Such cheers as then went up from the devotees of Democracy I never before heard.' Buckalew was at the Bnehler House during the election, aud whs called out for a speech, but ho failed to respond, Several candidates for Governor did not fail to improve tha opportunity, and, accordingly, laid 1 down iheir platform.-- Mdme.-Rumour said' bo was but I am mofo charitable than'that, and attribute his failing to i make a speech to his “ feelings vroy\thai od:asion.’’ / ‘ ' While 1 sadly deplore the election of a"man of Buekalew’e stripe, I am satisfied- that bis election saved us from one of the moat terrible and bloody scenes that ever happened in this State. More than one man would have bitten the dust, so terribly excited and desperate was -the yast crowd. . To show you that I am hot ■ mistaken, Gen, Andrew Porter, who is in com mand here, ordered a double guard around the State arsenal, and called upon the U. S. Gov ernment for a brigade, but he was nnable to; obtain them.', ', . ( I think our county may well be proud Of its representatives in either House. Mr. Wilson has been-made chairman of the Committee on Claims, which is one of the most important com mittees ,in" the Senate, and on which the Gov ernor, personally requested tho Speaker of the Senate to place one of its best men. ‘‘Sieve’s’’ congenial manners, fine conversational powers, ready wit, and his well-known habit of having a kind word t for every one, is winning, him many friends,Uwhom I hope may he firm and lasting. , . i' Messrs. Bowman and Olmsted will fully sus tain themselves, and are decidedly above the average of members. So far I cannot judge of tbeiri “ talking powers,” there having, been.no debates as yet. But 1 have no doubt they will fully sustain, themselves, and-acquit themselves in a manneri creditable to themselves and a confiding constituency. | Next Monday a State Treasurer is to be elec ted to fill the place of the Hoi. Henry. D. Moore.- I. fxpcct a Democrat will be elected, as the Senator question was a test question. A dozen candidates are in the field, prominent among whom is William Jack, a former member of this House. I have already written much more than I expected, and for the present good-by. HART’S HOTEL.
