The Committee also passed the following reso
lution unanimously, viz:
Resolved, That it be recommended to the
Loyal citizens of Pennsylvania, without dis
tinction of party, to organize, in each Election
District of the State,Union Leagues,for the pur
pose of sustaining the Government in suppress
ing this causeless and wicked rebellion, which
now seeks to divide and destloy the Republic.
The Last Ruse of the Sympathizers.. I
Having afforded the slaveholding traitors all
the means and all the sympathy in their posses
sion, to ensure the success of rebellion, and
haviog failed in every attempt in that direction,
the lders of the copperhead democracy are
about to attempt a new dodge, to practice an
original ruse to ensure the success of their machi
nations for slavery. The cry now raised is, that
"the Republican party must be put down ;". the
"Abolitionists must be exterminated ;" which
means, of C MOW, that the freemen of the North
must yield to the slaveholders of the. South. To
put down the Republican party—to crash on
Republican principles and destroy Republicen
institutions, is just what the slaveholders are
battling for, just what they have sworn to do,-
just what they , have deluged the land with
blood, and startled the nation with rapine, ar
son and murder to accomplish. If it had not
been for Republican principles and institutions
this rebelliOn never would have been inaugu
rated, 'because in the absence of such . principles
and inatitntiens, the slaveholders would haVe
had it their own Way. Slavery rebelled against
freedom. Society as organized in the South,
representing there the worst feature of aria;
tocratic corruption, an aristocracy which
denies all recognition to labor, rebelled
against liberty as it exists in the frier
States, where labor is equal to capital, wh*e
there are no distinctions except between
virtue and viee, and where freedom is ~,reg
arded EISA ptlippsB,an4 not toyed as a . theory.
The Republican , pa;ty was not 'organized so
much to oppose the institution of 'ilavery, rui it
was to increase : _the spread, Of, freedom. Its
principles never contemplated contest with
slavery where State rights seemed to recognize
and dignify its barbarous usages, But those
piinciples sought progress wherever there was
sufficient territory belonging to the Government
outof which to organize and erect new, porn
monvirealths. It was the success in this progrims
and such organizations, , which impelled slavery,
as it exists in, the American „Stat'es; to antago
nize freedom as it also in the same.
States. The Republican party is the only polit
ical organization ever formed in this country,
which has fully made itself the chiinpfon of
freedom. All otlier political organizations here
tofore oinow existing, have had Weir Covenants
with slavery, Frd are therefore more or lessTre
sponsible for. this rebellion. Had these cove
nants never existed, encouragement to treason
would never .:_have been afforped. Had the
institution of Slivery been made dependant
upon its own merits instead of - being bolstered
by the special legislative privileges which all
parties but the Republican willingly 'extended
to the institution, the disgrace which naturally
belongs to the system, the corruption which it is
hourly breeding, and the evil influences which
it daily distils, would have destroyed it and
carried it down to hell, where it telongs, more
than tralf ii:centerrshice7 .- It has not a sin
gle energy te,Siiead itsown' vile influences It
has not a single merit.to command respect.. It
'ltvdependant altogether upon special privilege
for existence. - Deprive it of this, -add we invoke
its doom immediately',
.
—ln view of these facts and, arguments, it is
not strange that the original allies of slavery
and the first sympathizers with treason against
the Natiunal Government, should now 'demand
the dissolution and destruction of the Republi
can party. It is tt• e only party which has main
tained its organization, and still opposed trea
son. The Republican in the Nortli, is no more
zealous hi endeavors, no more liberal in W
s =laces to 'pit down rebellion, than the Re
publican in the South.. One sentiment animates
both, one desire controls and intensifies their
actions. They are tor the - Union r for the Gov
ernment, for freedom. Is it any. vvonier, then,
that the sympathizars with' immix desire the
demolition of such a party re - it anrprising
that those who have "done all - in - ttretr - power to
insure thesuccess of the rebellion, and:failed,
should, now seek the destruction of the only
'obstacle in the way of that success. No other
party can or will oppose treason , but the Re-
putdicari party.' Such opposition cam never
_emanate from , the Democracy,- because its inter
ests in slavery, which is the life-giving:element'
of treason, elcied those which it haMin free
d*. In fe:ceitie opposed to freedom because
that'prificirile is inimical JO medeng,Democracy
If the Repnblican.party be diebanded,lle army '

s m,to strike another bleticitaidause there would
toll nothing tmOppbse its triumph.%.„Traltors
couldithin dietate'their own tert.us !of settle
ment, because there would be no organization
to look after the interests of the Government.
Destroy the Republican party! When that
is accomplished, we may indeed look for the
triumph of treason !
Who are Right
nathizer.; deny tivit lhr
The rebel sympL, y sympa
thize with the rtbolliou ; the copperheads deny
th a t th e y co operate with the Southern traitors;
the Democrats among us deny that there is a
party or any considerable number at the North
who are favorable to the rebAs and are try in,;
to aid and encourage them, and especially deny
that the leaders of the pre7ent Democrarc
party are doing so. But how canes it that
disinterested parties or interested foreigners'
think and say differently ? Eagl Ind &Dies
that she sympathizes with and aids the rebels ;
but we know that she does both. Of course
the men or the party that would do this—
would sympathize with and try to favor- :010
rebels, would deny it. This is to be expected.
The developeraents made the other day by the
publication of Lord Lyons' letter, show very
plainly who are sympathizers with and trying l
to aid the rebels in this col:tatty._ A few weeks
ago a certain English nobleman—the -Marquis
of Hartington—was in New York, and while I I
there attended a ball, a sort of &wish ball, at
which he wore a secession badge. He has
returned to England, and recently made a
speech, in which he said that he "found at the
North a party favorable to the rebek, ,and who co
operate cordially with them" Now, who consti r •
tute this party ? Who are - the men ? And
what "party" is it ? Is any one at a'loss to
know ? Are they not the men who tried to in-,
trigne with Lord Lyons ?—who divalgell to him
their plans, their programme, and tried - ttidiaw.
i •
him into it, and get him to aid them n bring
ing about "intervention" - by the European!
powers in behalf of the rebels and against the
Government? Are they not the men and the.,
party that are now doing all they can to oppeeet
the Government, and to hinder and retard thee.
war, to bring abant an "armistice " and seine
sort of a "peace," before' the Government
shall succeed in putting down and crushiag,ortt
the rebellion? And is not thie being "favera t
ble to the rebels and co operating with ihem ?'f
Surely, with the testimony of Lord Lyons and
the Marquis of llartington, along with what
we all know, and what we see and hear daily;
,there.can be no doubt as to,the men and",par
ty" that may be regardect.as "favorable to the
rebels."

STILL LATER.
[From the Washington Star.]
Since the first edition of to-day's Star went to
prom, we bave further important news of the
of the events past eventful week on the field
where General Hooker operates. General
Stoneman's force was divided into three
columns, one of which, that moving in the
direction of the Richmond and Fredericksburg
railroad, he commanded in person through from
Hanover Junction down to withia five miles of
Richmond—made by sub-division under the
command of Col. Davis. One of the three col
umns commanded by Brig. Gen. Averiil, after
crossing the Happahar.nock at Kelley's Ford
pushed on to Brandy Station, where it met the
enemy's pickers and drove them back iu a
short skirmish. It then pushed on to Calpep
per Court House, where Generals Fits Hugh
and William Henry Lee were found with a rebel
force of perhaps five hundred cavalry, which
fled precipitately back across Ceder moun
tain at Culpepper Court House. Geaeral Awar
d, captured a lot of rebel Government flour
and then pushed on after the retreating Lees,
following them to the Rapidan station, where
they burned the railroad bridge, over whish
they retreated after a smart fight, in which they
ban Col. Reeser, late of the United States Army,
who • commanded one of their b igades
Oar joss there wee inconsiderable, and they
lost several killed, besides Col. Raeder, and 31
prisoners, whom General Averlll brought back
with him. .1 he object of Averill's expedition
s , ems to have bees to destroy this bridge over
the Rapidan. which the enemy, in their panic,
did for him. After proceeding as far as
Camp Court• House, he returned with his
force to' the main army, joining it at
Chancelloreville, on Sunday last. Another
column of Stoneman's force, under com
mand, of Gen. .Buford, which left the Rap
pahannock at the same time, pushed on
towards Gotdoneville and positive informa
tion has, just been received, announcing its
success id cutting the Central railroad between
Gordonsville and Ricbmold, and also be
tween Gordonsville and tlharlottesville; thus
completely stepping railroad communication
in any direction, out from Lee's main
army and breaking up for the time being
the enemy's facilities for forwarding sup
plies•or reinforcements to it from any direction.
According to the Richmond papers of yesterday
Lougstreet in person joined Lee some days ago,
but was accompanied by none of the troops
with which he had been operating beftire Suf
folk. We regret to say that Brig. Gen. A. W.
Wlaipple,who was ivonnded in the recent engage
ment in • which Gen. Berry was killed, died
yesterday at 2 o'clock, e. w. The latest infor
mation from the field states that the ag.
gregate rebel loss in the four days fighting
has I een far larger than' oats, which is
natural enough, as they were necessarily in
every cas s the attacking party, and followed
their , old practice of 'massing. their troops
very heavily against the points-they selected to
assail, thus presenting• numerous opportunities
for our artillery, to mow them down in great
- numbers. The Richmond papers of yesterday
laim that Lee took in the engagement
of Saturday 5,000 of the eleventh army corps
as prisoners. This is the corps that behaved so
badly, but the number of en-toners taken from
it is nothing like this number. It is but fair to
the elegenth corps, to say-that they retrieved
their reputation measureably by good conduct
m Monday and yesterday, showing that their
bad behavior previously was from one of those
panics that will sometimes overtake the best
troops.
Special Dcapatches to the Pearl'
Weentecroxi, May 6—P. as.
Your correspondents at Felmonth send the
following highly •important intelligence from
General Hooker's army this mottling :
FALaallTH i 'llay 6—s. M.
A heavy column of rebels, under General
Early, attacked the 2d and 6th d: rps under Gen
eral Sedgwick, near FrederiCksherg, on Monday,
and, after an engagement of several hours' du
ration, drove our forces back and reoccupied the
works, which had been partially destroyed by
oar troops.
Appreciating the position in which he was
placed General Sedgwick. at once determined ao
ter:rose the Rappahannock by the ponsbon
beldges below Fredericksberg.
Yesterday moreing, after all-of our troops
had arrived safely on this side, the rebels got
several guns in postion, 'and comtnenced-shell
ing the pontoon bridges, but did. little damage.
Thy pontoona were taken up, and' the rebels
opened with some tvienty-six field pieces from
Fredericksburg, and re occupied the city in
considerable force.
General Hooker was promptly apprised of
this movement, and approved of it. He order
ed the p left wing of his army to advance, and
after `a spirit d contest carried the field bat
aeries of the rebels on the left, said to contain
twenty-six guns, andknown as the Washington•
The wagon and moat of the can
'lenient were captured.'
Gen. Hooker . telegraphs, that he had an ad
mirable position,,from which no force of the
enemy can remove him. , •
Thelosses onboth sides have been very heavy.
The rain of y&terday and to-day Will cause a
temporary_ cessation of hostilities, but active
operations will be,reatimed as soon as possible
Gen. Sedgwick has moved up tb the United
States ford, and is messing to-day. He will
join Gen. Hooker immediately, and proceed to
the battle field with his two corps, which are
comparatively fresh, and in good fighting trim.
A telegram from. headquarters announces the
fact-that the entire rebel cavalry force, under
General Stuart, is concentrated on our right,
anditis evidently the design of General Lea to
turn that 'flank of our army and operate on
the'ntiper portion of the Rappahannock, but
thia • movement will be promptly checked.
We have a rumor from headquarters that
'General Stoneman las gone throngh! with' his
work successfully,,but not without considerable
loss. ' No trains are running on the railroad
frame Richmond, and it is , believed that Gene-
ral Stoneman has destroyed that road: It is
also reported tha GeneralSteneman has opened,
ceanntinieation with - General Keyes, or spoken_
a gunboat on the Pamunkey river, bat. of air
tide we know-nothing positively - The fa.ctahat
the rebel cavalry is nementrated on our right
would indicate the entire success and safety. of
General Stoneman's expedition. .
There was no inaportant collision yesterday,
and will probably be gone today.
Rebel divisional under Generals Ewell,' Rerly,-
Jackson. tongatreet serd Anderson.. and . the,
twollills, are said to. be in..front of us, with

From the National haielligeneer
Wasumaron, May 7.
The following appears in the National inteili
gamer this morning :
Official information received at the War Da
partro.ent last evening authorises ns to state
that Oen. Hooker, alter waiting on the
_rain
near Chnicellorsville, on Tuesday, for a renewal
of the battle by the enemy, recrossed the Rap
pahannock on the evening of that day, influ
enced by prudential motives springiog,doubtlew
in part from the great and sudden rise of the
Virginia rivers in consequence of the recent
heavy rains threatening our supplies.
We do tot learn that Gen. Hooker was ap
prised before making this movement of the
success which is alleged to have attended the
operations of Oen. Stunernan in breaking the
rebel communications with Richmond. If this
fact had been known to him, assuming it to be a
factit may be doubted whether Gen. Hooker
would have deemed it necessary to take a stop
which must tend to deprive him of some, at
least, of the advantages resulting from_ Henry
Stoneman's co-operative expedition.

Nsw YORK, May 7.—The World bas issuedan
rata with the following:
The Richmond papers of the sth, state that
Stoneman's cavalry have destroyed all the
bridges between Richmond and the Rappahan.
nozk, and torn up the railroads, cut down the
telegraphic wires, and ventured within a few
miles of Richmond, consequently no communi
cation can be bad with (Jen. Lee's army.
Official intelligence from Stoneman states
that after the above achievements, he deployed
his immense cavalry force many miles, forming
a line of observation to detect the approaching
rebel reinforcements.
Reinforcements are pressing down to General
Ecoker; who will thus outoumb:r any force
brought against him.
Rooker was forced . across the Rappahannock
in =sequence of the superior force and the
superior generalship of Lee. -
A great number of wounded have fallen into
the bands of the enemy. Oar dead on the
battle field of Sunday are still unburied, and
the wounded are undoubtedly dying in great
;zumbers.
It la rumored that Lee mused hid army on
our right and that Gen. Hooker will femme i-
ately change his base of operations , but where
is nnhnown.
Gen. Hooker Is much disheartened, but there
is hope yet.
ANO TEIER ACCOUNT
Abe. New. York' Scald has lamed an extra
containing a letter dated United States ford,
Kay 6th, 8 a. a., saying yesterday 4 morningthe
trains were all (Rd 'rot back to camp and by
dark all the wagons, extra mules, &c. were at
Falinuut h. The wounde were hast ily remov
al o W shingtoo , leaving notbing on the other
side but the infantry and artillery.
The rain fell in torrents sweeping away the
bridges and threatening the pontoons.
The river rose rapidly. and one of the pon
toon bridges was taken to lengthen the others.
Pine boughs were spread upon the -pontoons to
prevent noise, and at midnight the troops com
menced falling back.
The first corps crossed and are now nearly
all over. The third is in entre.nehrnenbi to
cover the retreat. It is hoped the army will
reach this side before the rebels discover the
retreat, but the cannonading has commenced
quite fiercely at the•front, and a desperate bat
tle is nor. la-probable. • The roads are horrible.
Our sick are lying in them, but the ambulanc a
are coming up to remove them.
There was no fighting yesterday of any con
avionics.
The enemy has evidently massed his army
on our right with the probable view of crossing
above and attacking us on the flank and rear;
but the high water will frustrate this move
ment.
Three pontoon trainsare down near Hamilton,
and it is feared that the rebels will make a
demonst. ation across the river below Predericke
burg.
den. Hooker is much depressed. List night
he held a consultation with his Generals, in
which it was urged that a longer stay would
prove unsafe for the army, as the rain is falling
heavily, , and the river raising rapidly. •
Fardeorrna, May 6, 10 A. N.-8 bridges have
been swept away on the railroad from Agate
1 last night. Building parties were at work all
night and the trains are .)ow running again.
1 It is rumored that the rebel cavalry has
crossed over'upon the northern neck and ie ad
-Inman cautiougly towards this plane..
A force has been sent down to oppose them.
Everything is quiet on this side. The river
has risen over ten feet and is still rapidly
rising. Heavy cannonading is heard in the
direction of United States Ford.
The Trawls extra says that at daylight 013,
Monday the rebels shelled onr trains at United
States rord, which served to increasee - General
Hooker's fears, and the longer he delayed the
lees was he able to advance.
The correspondent ohms thus: "the army is
safe with 10,000 fine men in its ranks and a
much larger number. unfit for duty. The heavy
rains have seriously impaired the health of the
men who were without shelter. The tents were
left behind and many had lost their knapsacks.
