VOUNQ VERSUS OLE PEMMi JYEVANIA,
There was. something more afi<T better than
repartee in the reply of Mr./Sctflb' Id, of Penn
sylvania, to Mr. Dawson’s speech .to the House,
on Wednesday. It was, literally? J Jung against
.old Pennsylvania. Mr. Dawson tho
Pennsylvania of a half-century jf%p, before its
conscience w-ns awakened to cry o 1 it against the
annual aqp thrown to slavery by the,Democra
cy and-the' old line Whigs. Mr. Scofield rep
resents that Pcnnsylvanja'whosf' regeneration
commenced among the northercMroal spurs of
the AUeghauics, and has spread'whence south
ward, until its glow illmuiucs uaif of Mary
land and all of West Virginia. f
~ Mr. Scofield 'was a Democrat before to ben
Democrat was to he the forswon party adhe
rent of Southern Slavery. Mr. Day son- only
became earnest and distinguished as a “ Dem
ocrat” when slavery -began to- n*fiko, its most
earnest and exacting demands »i>snr Northern
,iuen; and from that hour to tea present, he
has given lus decided abilities G the enemies
uf progressive principles. Mr. Scofield left the
Democracy at the very moment v.ben Mr. Daw
son became, one of its prime aptbtlea. .
Mr. Dawson’s speech was u^representative
speech. It discloses the animat of the party
to which he belongs. That ptidty, or faction,
rather, as Mr. Scofield said, veem'to have
turned down a leaf where they left off a dozen
vears »”», and now come upon Sio stage with
snoechcs which, read as if delivered then.
'••Their music," said Mr. Scofield, “is a half
line uf Yankee Doodle, with a£few scraps of
Dixie, and tho, rub-a-dub of yomplaint and
evil prophecy.” Nothing couhKoe V'uer, nolle
ing better said. Mr. Dawson ftyncts with his
(ace to the past and his back U; the futuye, la
j meting like a. Jeremiah and-frantically urging
the round globe to turn upon it-.t starry,course.
Mr. Scofield, mindful of the pa't only because
«f its precious teaching, looks th£ future in the
face and rejoices that the world lie rolling on
its course tnv-ird its beatitudes. ■ Mr. Dawson
looks back with inexpressible.yearnings to the
old slough, wherein the Demowj-acy wallowed
for so many years, and pleads for leave to re
turn and resume tbeiron collar litfdTthe crumbs
which fell from the bftunteonft tables of-the
Southern taskmaster. Mr. ScuCield would bun
dle tho wrongs done anp suffc.why political
parties for three-quarters of a century into that
tluugh, and so fence it about" t int they can
r.ever escape to debase and allHcMhe people of
- America. Mr. Dawson would- htvlS the rebel
lion put down on conditions uJinown and un
recognized in Providential jperations. lie
would core the patient and leeve the fever in
tact. lie would amputate an offending limb
yet save" the limb. lie would, like the boy
that lives in nursery rhymes, eal hiS pudding
and keep it, Mr. Scofield, like the great par
ty he represents, accepts the wardships of the
present as legitimate outgrowths of the past,
and as weapons with which ttisecure a peace
ful and glorious future. Mr. .bavson, like his
faction, trusts in .the potency- i)i, party disci
pline more than Providence. "Tie hears a
voice and mistakes.it for tbr Voice of some
demagogue who, in past, time,moyed the mass

WEIASBOROtJGH, PEKN’A:
WEDNESDAY,
Those who went through the last year’s cam
paign, know how the charge, made against the
Copperheads, of hostility to the Union soldiers,
was met. They said—“ We are not opposed to
the, soldiers, and would be glad to have them
vote, if they could vote constitutionally.” This
was in reference to the decision of Judge Wood
ward ; which decision was rendered .not accor
ding to the spirit of the Constitution of the
Commonwealth, hut upon the merest technical
construction of the portion reloting to the elec
tive franchise. Still, good, law-abiding men
deemed it better to place the right of the sol
dier to vote beyond the cavil and question of
mere lawyers like Judge Woodward. And so
it came that tho notice of proposed amendments
to the Constitution, to -effect that object, ap
peared in the prints last year. Tioga, ever
ready to recognize the civil rights of the defen
ders of freedom, took time by the forelock, and
voted for the amendments last fall. -This to-’
ting was prematrfre, but did no barm. It is a
significant fact, that not one Copperhead voted
for the Amendments, and only one vole was
thrown against them, as' wo recollect; that one
vote, it need scarcely be said, was cast by a
Copperhead who sails under the assumed name
of “ democrat."
But the record would be incomplete and nn
satifafaciorj if it closed here. Fortunately, the
State legislature was called upon to pass upon
the proposed*amendments, and the action of the.
Senate is now before the people. Fortunately,
also, the record is here placed beyond cavil or
denial. TJie following ia the proposed amend
ment: »l
“Section J. "Whenever any of the qualified electors
of the Commonwealth shall bo in any actual military
service under a requisition from the President of the
United States, or by the authority of this Common
wealth, such* electors may exercise the right of suf
frage in all elections of the citizens, under such regu
lations us are or shall be prescribed by law, as tolly
as if they were present at their usual place of elec
tion." *
The Harristlurg Telegraph gives tbs result aa
follows: ,
“The constitutional amendments parsed the Senate
final reading by the fallowing vote, viz ;

zerne; G. W. Stein, Kerthump ton.”
Thu?, every Union man voted in the affirma
tive; ten “ Democrats” voted no, live dodged,
and onojvoted yea.
This Js a bold record. What a record to go
before the people with, in the coming campaign!
Whal apology or excuse will be trumped up to
justify such an outrage upon the rights of free
men? Perhaps they may put it upon the
ground of preserving the purity of the franchise.
But loot to it—these conservators of the purity
of the ballot-box were .but yesterday stuffing
the ballot and candle-boxes in Kansas. They
were, but yesterday, justifying the usurpations
'of Border-Ruffianism; under which the elective
franchise in Kansas became a reproach and a
hissing among the people. They upheld the
administration of Buchanan in its endeavor to
force an obnoxious Constitution upon the peo
ple of Kansas. Yet they come forward as
champions of the purity of elections and the
conservation of constitutional guaranties 1—
This is a crowning impudence. It will deceive
no man who does not court deception. The
people will-see through such scanty drapery,
and. brand the traitors as they deserve to be
branded.
There is a hound beyond which toleration be
comes complicity with crime, ns liberty becomes
license. Differences of opinion as to what con
stitutes crime, have, happily, been disposed of
by statutes, if not by the moral sense of man
kind. There is no question ns regards.the cri
minality of the act of taking the goods of ano-*
ther without permission or compensation. The
act is theft. If one strikes another dead, that
is murder, or manslaughter, according to the
nature of the circumstances. The man who
should, publicly orprivately, apologize for ei
ther theft or.murder, would bo repudiated by
the community'; and the man who should en
deavor to'elevate such an apologist into a mar
tyr, would he hooted out of society as a knave
or a fool.
The semi-rebel faction in the North hqg done
little for three years psst, save to apologize for
the highest crime known , to any law. in enlight
ened cations. Its chiefs have always some ex
cuse.to palliate the crimo of Jefferson Davis and
bis fellows in arms. During all these years of
war, these northern rebels have not fuupd
speech to condemn, in an unqualified manner,
the treason of the South, They can see a buge
crime in almost every action of the Government,
though that action be sustained ~ by precedents
established by Democratic Executives. For in
stance—the employ merit of negro troops—which
was done by Washington, by Madison, and by
Jackson. And agaiu—the confiscation of the
property of a public enemy—which has been
practised by belligerents in all ages and coum
tries. It is practised by the rebels, and rightly.

WHAT-IS CKIME P
THE TIOGA COUHXY AGITATOR.
Tbe rebel Congress was the first to pass confis
cation laws. So early os June, 1861, non-resi
dents were notified to nppoar and .give in their
adhesion to the “ Confederacy,” or their prop
erty would bo forfeited. They commenced by
confiscating arms, munitions of wdri. and mo
ney, belonging to the Government. They are
destroying our merchant vessels every day.—
They always destroy or carry off all property
destructible- or portable. 'lbis is their privi
lege, if acknowledged as belligerents. But
who ever heard a Copperhead condemn iheir
exercise of tbe right of destroying public prop
erty ? Will somebody give us the name of one
of these conservators of law, national and in
ternational? -
Tbe truth is simply this: What is left of'
the old democratic, organization, has experi-!
enced a complete moral inversion. Once it held,
with all other parties, that treason was the high- j
est crime. Now, it looks upon unqualified nlle-!
gianca to the Government as the only crime to !
be denounced. Powell, Saulsbury, F. Wood,
Voorhes, and Mallory—these Congressmen are -
everlastingly denouncing tbe Government, he- j
cause it uses all its energies to maintain its in-;
tcgrity. No man has beard either of them say
one word in condemnation of tbe treason of Jef
ferson Davis, in either branch of Congress. No 7
man has heard either of them demand the pun- ’
ishment of a traitor; and - every man, who has '
heard them at all, has heard all of them threa- j
ten thc actors against treason with condign pun-;
ishment. These are the leaders of the faction i
which rallies around McClellan to-day, but -
which would rally around Jefferson Davis to !
morrow, if he were placed in a position to lead j
them on loyal soil. Think of it. j
EDITORIAL COEEESPOHEEKCE,
Washington, Marcb_29, 1804.
The Penußjlvaninns resident ill Washington,
either permanently or temporarily, have or
ganized for the campaign of 1804. The object
of the association is the circulation of docu
dienls, chiefly. The Hon. J. R. Moorhead, of
Pittsburg, is the President. The Executive
Comniittee is composed of thirty-three members
—onej from each Senatorial district in the State.
J. B. Potter, IJsq., is the member for the Tioga
district, and for once is the right man in the
right place. I look for much good to result
from this organization. If properly managed
—and it is officered .by first-rate men—it cannot
fail to exert an excellent influence upon the po
litical health of our State.
The principal topic in Congress now, is limi
tation of power. On the Senate’s side, the dis
.cussion of Powell's bill to prevent, ostensibly,
the interference of military authority with the
elections in the border States, but really, to
baud over Kentucky to Jeff. Davis, is consu
ming tire time. Some damaging facts are made
to appear concerning the origin of military in
terference with elections in the States. It turns
out that McClellan issued the first order to his
subordinates to station men at the polls in Ma
ryland, ami prevent disunion citixeus from par
ticipating in the election. 'This order was is
sued in October, 1801, just before the Maryland'
election. The reading of the order by Senator
Howard, caused a tremendous fluttering among
the rebels. '4-'heir faces resembled those of the
Chippewa-chiefs now on a visit to Washington
in all tbo glory of paint, wampum and feathers.
It is a little singular that no outspokenly
loyal man ever complained of- the oath of alle
giance prescribed by the military authorities in
Kentucky, Missouri, Maryland and Delaware.
No man was permitted to vote who refused to
swear entire allegiance to tho Government.—
Pray, tell me, was this a tax on loyalty, or dis
loyalty ? If on loyalty, why Ims not some
known and unquestioned loyal man protested ?
No such protest has been made ; and the infer
ence is, that the oath only blocked the game of
the rebels. Poor fellows 1 they are making a
history which their children will deny its appli
cable to their progenitors.
Never, it seema to rue, was there a more
marked example of the infatuation of crime,
thon*fs presented by these men who claim to be
loyal, and yet refuse to do a single act which
savors of loyal motive or impulse. They never
arise to speak; that they do not offer an apology
for rebellion, and flin" a, sop to traitors in arms.
If n thorough sconndrelisra constitutes states
manship, then these men are statesmen. If
sympathy with Jeff. Davis, openly expressed, is
democracy, then these men are democrats. If
opposition to every adequate measure for put
ting down rebellion, is an evidence of loyalty,
then thfse men are loyal. But not otherwise.
The plea of “ conservatism” is a pretence. It
means only that these men lack the earnestness
to ba patriots, and the courage to become armed
traitors. It is a negative condition as regards
action, but positive in Us indication of sympa
thy with traitors. Let no man be deceived.
These leaders mean to dishonor the country, if
they can accomplish that through the masses
who follow their lead. They have a tenderness
for their own necks, and a reckless disregard
for the necks of their' followers.
The Presidential question is; still
There is now a rumor that the semi-rebels arfe
contemplating the notnination of Fremont, drop
ping McClellan. Doubtless the radical men of
Tioga will find it difficult to believe in such a
■freak of strategy. Ido not give the slightest
weight to such an improbable happening If
they were so minded, it is not likely that’ Fre
mont would consent to become the tool of such
men. And if he did consent, he would be des
pised and discredited by his old friends. =So
nothing would come of it, save defeat of rebel
sympathizers. The fact is, these malcontents
have so often deceived the people, that they are
devoid of credit with the people. This genera
tion will never trust them again; or if it does
then it deserves to be sold and enslaved.

WAR NEWS.
We have Now-Orleans dates to the 2Cth ult.
The advance of Gen. Smith’s forces had formed
a junction with the advance of Gen. Banka at
Alexandria, the Rebels retreating to Shreve
port. At tho latter place the Rebels have
three powerful-iron-clads, with which
pect to destroy the Union fleet. Our boats are
wailing,for a rise of water, so that they can
get over the falls, when the Rebels will have a
chance to try their rams. The capture of
Fort De Russy was a serious blow to them.
They had worked for months iri constructing
a formidable battery on the river bank, which
they expected would prevent the passage of
any boat the Yankees could offer, but the flank
movement on tho fort placed the battery in
our hands 1 without a shot.'’ The 83d Qhio,
forming the advance of Gen. Bank’s army,
marched through the Teeho country 270 miles
in five days. No fighting beyond
some small skirmishes. On fhe 21st 300 Reb
els were captured about 18 miles from Alexan
dria ; there were 25 officers among them.
We learn from Ringgold that the Rebel cav
alry force has been auginepting within the
past few days, and now amounts to about
5,000. They ore encamped in tho valley at
the foot of Rocky Faced Ridge, from Tunnel
Hill to Yarneas Station and Red C!sir, which
they hold. The Rebels have also a considerable
force at Jfickayack Gap, six miles below Ring
gold. There are no indicates that Gen. John
ston intends to assume the defensive.
A Memphis dispatch says that the Rebel Gen.
McCullough is reported tome en route Korth
with 2,500 men to re-enforoe Gen. Forrest.
