A Fact Always Omitted by Democratic
Orators.
•
Whilst copperheads are - howling - up4n hill
and in dale, on streets and in 'bar-rooms, at
public meetings and in penny:4-line newspapels
about the' illegality of Vallandighani's arrest,
conviction and sentence, they omit to state one
very important faat: Whilst they yelp lcmdly
about the sacredness of the "writ of habeas
corpus," about law and the Constitution, about
appeals to courts of justice, they : carefully sup
press the fact that the courts were appealed to,
that the writ of habeas corpus was •asked for,'
that counsel for the convict was 'liciatei. for - tvio
days before Judge Leavitt, and iii WE4delib-
erately refused
Jude Leavitt is a Democrat, and bee been
one all his liife. He was appointed by a Demo-.
cratic President, and has , more thah--once re-
Mended fugitive slaves to' their waiters. He
could notforget the force and pOwer4O4 hie for=
akar well considered decisions. Hence his
refusal to-bit Vallandigham escape frord .
the
employment of his Sputhern owners.'
THE gunboat Cinclunati,_ lately sunk at

vent their r2l,l:Gn en auth ,- ,i 'Lite at Waeh

are successrul, giving the iudividual leaders of
our forces credit for the success ; but when dis
dstor ur defeat overtake our armies, the same
men are prompt to call attention to what they
consider a fact, that "the authorities at Wash
togton" are alone to blame for the reverse.
The Washington Morning Chronicle aptly hits this
propensity when it says that the idea betrays
great ignorance or greater disingenuous .ess
Yet it has bean ad often_ repeated that many
have adopted it, therein evincing that want of
reflection which is our too common (ailing as a
people. It may be worth while, therefore, to
recall to the public mind the fact that no gen
eral, however remote from these headquarters,
is in the least degree "removed from the-influ
ence of the authorities" here. It is a military
impossiblity that he should be. lie acts under
orders as directly as the general who within
a few hours' rid6Of thiS capital; and the supreme
military authority is at least as much entitled
to praise for 'a
successful campaign in the
Southwest is to aenSure for an unsuccessful one

TEE TROY Times says that "a committee of
colored men from that oity waited upon Gov.
Seymour last week and asked him whether he
would favor the organization .of regiments of
blsck men. He. replied that be should not,
saying that he had too much Sympathy for the
blacks to do , so, as the position they .must oc
cupy would , be one of extreme,danger, and
would lead to dreadfnl and unnecessary sacri

of a Democratic politician, whose sympathy
With'their fate is off:red very lite itr the day.
True sympathy with the colored race urges it
to take part in this war, as , the best meant; of

GENERAL ELDFRSHIP OE THE CHURCH OF GOD
Slavery and the State of the Country
At the triennial se,ssiou of tho General Elder
ship of the Church of God, held at New Brigh
ton, Beaver county, Pa , last week, the follow
ing resolutions were adopted :
Resolved, first, That we believe the Govern
ment of the United States to be founded upon
the ordinance of God, and that it is to be pre
served inviolate.
Second, That to maintain unimpAred the
unity and integrity of this Government Is the
responsible mission of the American people.
Third, That the Scriptures teach that all its
;objects owe an unqualified loyalty to the
rightful authorities of the Government, and
that a divereity of sentiments concerning the
wisdom of the policy adopted by any of its ad
ministrations will not afford a ) ust 'debt° carve
for the indolgencein any form of disloyalty, nor
do we believe that conscientious ecropies in
relation to bearing arms in its defence m al a j anti
ti ible cause for iinpeaching the.lldehty of a man
to the Author of civil government nor to the
constituted authorities of said government.
Fourth, That the popular idea of the right of
'evolution cannot 11.3 recognized and vindicated'
under a democratic form of government, where
the people are sovereign, butican:only be law
fully exercised under a 'despotic or oppressive
government.
.• F fth, That if there is ever a permanent dis•
membernient, of the American Union, or a
complete abrogation of •our present form of
government by an armed rebellion against the
regularly constituted authorities, it can only be
in constquenee of our persistent adherence to
some flagrant national sin or sins.
,S,xth, That the unparalled sacrifice of lifaand
treasure in the present civil war for the over
throw of this , wicked rebellion and for the
restoration of Aire national authority in all.the
Stalks of this Union is obviously, in our Judg
ment ,the result God's judgment upon its for
our great Wickedness.
Seventh,. That the:terrible "calamities which
we aro now snift;iing in Consequence of the'
present civil'W,ir; raging with infuriated mad
uses between brethren, cannot be permanently
averted finless there be 'unmistakable signs of
true national repentance, since judgments are
only reformatory entlavertablerwhen they lead
to this cardinal virtue .
Eighth, .That national reformation cannot
iegitima follow in, our history until the
people - 44 Wight to apprehend the prudery%
cause of our present troubles.
:Nintit, That Sie lave a just cause to rejoice'
that our sentiments so .oftatt o ffi cially expressed
concerning the character. 'of American slavery
as a great moral and political evil, by Way of
warning te4lie American people, are fully vin
dictted by,the, slavelaolders' rebellion.
Tenth, That wo.declaro ,it to be our „solemn
conviction that.the chief and operative cause of
the pasentrebellionis American slavery.
Etevoilh, That the complete and abet - Ante
abroolttiOn of the unnatural ; and cruel systeM
of A merican b slavery, by letting the opprestied
go free and providing Mr them a future full ,of
hops and usefulness, is, in our judgment, 'the
surest and,,safeat measure , o prevent the con
tinuaapn of the present judgments of God, and
alio to restore again:the ,unity and prospetity
of the Governinest of our Fathers.
„
Twelfth; That id so far as any of the churches
of 'this land haVe either directly or indirectly
couuterianoed:or given aid and assistance to this
Iniquitous system, it is their manifest duty to
repent in FaCk-cloth and ashes, and to show the
genuineness ortheir repentance by wieldhig all
their motel end pelltical power in its utter ex
termination.
'Thirteenth, • That we hereby declare oar uni-.
weltering hlyilty to the'govettment,itud fidelity
to the adminlitration and we alsosiva thin
Dublin suagurpnce to the ,
Ffel3ideLlt of the Vatted

dated the Ist inst., states that a few days pre
viously, it having been observed from the look
out that Imes leland had ade serteA appL aranee,
a reconnoleance was o.dered, which resulted
in the demonstration that there were lees than
1,000 rebel troops there—the number had hith
erto been estimated at 10,000 to 12,000.
The inference among our men was that the

TitErteports received to day from the ttappa

rtiday. , afternoon. They bad advanced no
further than , the open

shooters, on whom it was depended to hold the
ford, were captured

sight ofthe rebel lines and under the fire of
theft' artillery ; brit affairs hive been quiet on
both silhe._
.
The Sixth Vermont volunteers were thrown
forward as skirmishers, - and suffered the only
casualties inflicted by the enemy yesterday.
A visit to the front disclosed 'the enemy in
unneually strong force in his old position on
the right, left and front of our advance col-
The. enemy are . constantly busy, and large
coin - Aural seem to be moving Up and taking

Gen. Hooker was across the river and visited
the picket lines on Saturday.
The picket firing on ',Saturday was almost
continuous ; but yesterday' and to-day our
pickets have been nearly unmolested, the ene
my firing only when mounted officers-ride out
'to reconnoitre: • ,
The result of . the reconnoissance thns-far has
-been to show that the- enemy are still in large
force On the opposite Side of the river, and no
indication can be discovered that any-ormaider
ableportion of Lee's army havebeen withdrawn
for operations eleeWhere.
'THE POSITION OF THE OPPOIHNO mums.
Tssautairet, Jane B.—Fredericksburg is still
held by the enemy, and no attempt hall b. , ext
made by our troops to, take it.
The late movements of the rebels on the
south side of the Rappahainock induced - the
belief that they had retired altogether from
their old lines of defence, and officers and others
who' came to Washington confidentially an
nounced this as a fact. -
The crossing of some of our troops on Ftiday
Wall in the way of a reconnoissance to under
stand- the actual condition of affairs, and
although on Sunday morning-they had not re
turned, they probably did so by night:
On Friday evening, in crossing, we lost abOut
thirty in killed and wounded, and took about
sixty prisoners 'in'rifte pits on the river bank'
They have been brought to Washington. Capt.
Crete, eirthe regular engineers, was killed. The
entire loss on,onr side was In the engineer

FIRE l FIRE-! , FIRN I
PIEULADSLPHIA, May 30, 1863
Al. C. Sadler, Esq
Dsan Sra : During the night of May 19, 1863,
our Grocery and Provision Store, at North Sec
ond and Willow streets, took fire at about 2
o'clock A. u., and as the store was a two-story
wood building it burnt rapidly, and before the
fire engines could act upon the fire, OW whole
stock of goods, including much combustible
material, and amounting to over $2,000, were
wholly destroyed. We had one of your No. 11
Chilled Iron Safes, which was in the hottest
part of the fire, and it came out of the fire not
in the least injured, except the melting off of
the name, plate and paint. The contents in
side were net affected in the least, and we con
sider the Safe just as good a protection against
fire now as before, and shall use it herealer
with increased confidence. The lock works as
perfectly as before the fire.
Yours truly, McMANITS & CROFT,
Late 429 North Second Street
Attention to the above certificate is particu
larly requested, as it is the first trial of LILLIgill
SAFES in an accidental fire in Philadelphiall4-
I would say to all parties who want a Fire and
Burglar-proof. Safe that LILLIE'S WROUGHT
AND CHILLED IKON SAFES are much , the
cheapest and the only real Fire and Burglar
proof Safes now made ; and to those who want
simply a Fite-proof, I would say that LILLIE'S
WROUGHT IRON SAFE is fatly equal in all
respects to 'any of the most approved makers,
and is sold at fully one-third lees price.
All parties interested are invited to examine
the safes above described at my store.
