Terme of Peace.
Hiester Clymer and George Northrup (the
former with his head turned by vaulty and the
latter with his brain muddled by whisky) are
at present fulfilling a mission of slander and
vituperation, of all that is patriotic and loyal,
through the different election districts of the.
Commonwealth. We are reliably informed
that, apart from the foul personal attacks which
Clymer is making on Gay. Curtin, the Barks
county Senator is attempting to make capital
for the party of hia adoption by asserting that
"President Davis" had frequently offered terms
of peace to the "Linooln Government." In the
first place, the phraseology thus used is the
language of a. cowardly traitor, and in the sec
ond place the assertion littlulged in is the inven
tion of a contemptible f Ilsifier. The terms of
peace offered by the traitor Davis would deubt
leen be acceptable to the party which Clymer
represents, but they are such as at once to
'arouse the indignant rejection of loyal men.
Jeff: Davis has frequently made efforts, on the
recommendation of Fernando Wood, (the politi
cal master of such men as Clymer,) to force the
Administration to recognize his bogus govern-
moot, and he has offered terms of peace based
on this recogoitlon as an ultimatum. Such
terms were of course invariably and indignantly
rejected by the National Administration.
—The South can have peace by their asking
for it. At any moment the lalo,dy war which
is waged on the Government, can be stopped, if
the rebels lay down their sums and acknowledge
the just authority of the National Government;
and if the copperhead leaders also close their
mouths and stop their foul attacks on the poli
cy adopted to crush rebellion. Until these results
are accomplished, Mere will be no peace, BECAUSE
LOYAL MSN LR RESOLVED -TO CONQUER. cm CRUSH
TRAITORS, AND EQUALLY RESOLVED TO
SILENCE THE SLANDERERS OF THE GOV
ERNMENT, BY REBUKING THEM AT THE
POLLS IN OCTOBER NEXT I
A Word for a Friend.
Nothing would please the copperhead leaders
of Harrisburg more hugely, than the knowledge
of having been instrumental in creating a divi
sion among the loyal men of Dauphin county.
For a month past all the old hacks of locofoco-
Inn, with certain broken down panderers to all
sorts of vices, have been busily engaged sowing
discord and opening gaps for strife among those
who are expected to, and who zealously do sup
port the nominees at the head of the TELEGRATH
for State, District and County officers. But
these efforts have all signally failed. Copper
head hyasocrisy could not create a single emo
tion of asperity among loyal men. Our friends
are united, and our ticket is bound to be elected
by a triumphant majority in Dauphin county.
—So much for our organizttion and candi
dates, and now a word for a friend. One of the
hopes on which the copperheads dreaMed of
success in Dauphin county, was that Jacob D.
Hoffman would lend himself to their base uses,
and enter into a bargain by which ho would be
temporarily benefited, the copperheads largely
served and the county eternally disgraced.—
But in this copperheadisra has been wofully
deceived. Oar friend Hoffman is a loyal man--
a patriot who thinks more of his country than
he does of himself, and a MEd! incapable of a
dishonorable action. Hence he will support
the entire ticket at the head of our - columns,
voting for and urging the election of each man,
as essential as well for the best interests of
Dauphin county as for the whole interests of
the State and nation. Mr. Hoffman will not
only support the ticket, but he will make it ,a
duty to induce his friends to give it the same
support , He does this as a matter of pride and
principle. He does it because he could not do
otherwise and be true to himself, his friends
and his country.
Consifittency
We hear our copperhead conservatives occa
sionally refer to the Crittenden rssolatione, and
mused that if - they had 'lvan ititixOteA 'by.,the
Congress which expired with the !achanin ad
ministration, the slaveholdere' rebellitzri would
never have been precipitated. Perhaps not.---
But it is well known that those resolutlons were
loot by the action of the very men who are now
the leaders of the rebellion. Ausl as a farther
proof of the opposition of the rebellious element
to those resolutions, we see it stated that at a
Democratic meeting recently held in Connecti
cut, the Crittenden resolutions were offered and
voted down. Thus It will be Kau that the
Democratic leaders were positive in their first
refusal to accept of any compromise of the
slaveholders' rebellion, and that they are still
willing to let the slaveholders fight it out. In
this they are at least consistent.
The State Finances.
Aside from the wonderful vigor displayed by
Gov. Curtin, in sending immense numbers,of
armed men to the relief of the National Gov-
ernment, the surprising success with which he
has managed the State finances will form the
brightest page in the history of his administra
tion. In times of profound peace, the debt of
the Commonwealth was increased from year to i
year-our credit as a State huckstered through
the markets of the world—until Pennsylva
nia's solvency depended entirely upon the le
niency of her, creditors. Such was the result of
the financiering of successive locofoco adminis
trations—a financiering which led to temptations
of fraud in those at the head of the government,
and which had its influence in corrupting every
man connected with these administrations. In
contrast with such a condition of affairs, the
financial operations of the administration of
Gov. Curtin stand out in bold relief. Prom year
to year, the ordinary resources of the Government have
been increased through a wise policy adopted by Gov.
Curtin. BY THIS MEANS, Gov. CURTIN WAS ENA
BLED TO RECOMMEND A Banuorrom OF TAXATION.
AND NOW WE HAVE A PROCLAMATION
ANNOUNCING THE CANCELLATION OF
NINE HUNDRED AND FIFTY-FOUB THOU
SAND SEVEN HUNDRED AND TWENTY
DOLLARS AND FORTY CENTS OF THE PUB
LIC DEBT !
—ln order fully to appreciate these facts, it
must be remembered that the State is engaged,
with her sister loyal States, in supporting - the
National Government, while that Government
is in a death struggle with a wicked rebellion.
No other administration since the organization
of the State government, can show as clearan
account as that which makes up the record o
the administration conducted by A.dndrew 3
Curtin. We want the taxpaiers to remember
these facts!
Upon Whom Rests the Responsiblity of
the War 1
It is a favorite charge of the Copperhead
enders in this State, to insist that the war of
he rebellion was brought about by the acts of
he Abolitionists. This charge is made to at-
tract attention from the real authors of the
strife, as history and all the facts connected
with this conspiracy show that the rebellion Is
not only causeless, but that it is an impious
and deliberate attempt to obstruct the progress
and the civilization of the age.
Was it Abolitionists, who, without authority
in the Constitution for the act, purchased the
territory of Louisiana, which secured to Slavery
the States of Louisiana, Atkansae, and ➢iissou•
ri, at an expense to the nation of $15,000,000?
Was it the Abolitionists who bought Florida
for the purpose of extending Slavery, at a cost
of $7,600,000, and aftarwards plunged the
country into a war , with the Indians, which
cost us $80,000,000, and a thousand of lives,
because the Seminoles would not deliver up
fugitive slaves ?
Was it the Abolitionists who tricked Texas
into the Union ; assumed her rebellion war
debt of :$10,000,000; and by agreeing to sub
divide her vast area into five States, thus pro
vided for five more Slava States and ten more
United States Senators in the interest of the
Slave Power.
Was it the Abolitionists who meanly picked
a quarrel with the weak neighboring Republic
of Mexico, which cost us tens of thousands of
lives, and hundreds of millions of dollars, for
the purpose of securing California to make
more Slave States out of, as they then hoped
and designed, because it lay South of the line
of 80 degrees 80 minutes ?
Was it the Abolitionists who in 1850 de
manded and obtained the,paesage of the execra
ble Fugitive Slave-Law, as a- counterpoise to
the admission of California as. a free State,..by
which vile enactment the right of triel by jury
was abrogated in the trial for the highest right
which the law can either confer or destroy ;
which erects a petty court in the person of a
Corntrdssioner, and deliberately offers a bribe
for the rendition of the person ,claimed as a
slave to his alleged owner, by doubling the fee
in case the person claimed be remanded to
slavery ?
Was it the Abolitionists who swept away the
Missouri restriction, which opened up to slavery
every inch of unorganiz id territory within the
jurisdiction of the United States, with Out one
petition from the people _ on the subject, thus
placing on the statute book the mostominently
wicked law which has ever disgraced this Gov
ernment ?
Wasit the Abolitionists who attempted to
force slavery on the unwilling people of Kan
sas at the *points of Federal bayonets, by, the
torch of the incendiary, and with the assassin
border ruffiain'e bowie knife?
Was it the Abolitionists who, as accessories
of treason, sent our army into the disaffected
State of Texas in 1860 and '6l to insure its
capture; scattered our navy over the world to
prevent its use in maintaining the autho
rity of the Government against the then or
ganizsd rebellion; beggared the treasury, and
destroyed our credit to cripple the energies of
the Republic; refused to move a finger in de
fence of the national , honor and authority,
while ships, dock yards, forts, arsenals, navy
yards, arms, ammunition, supplies; and manu
factories of arms were being stolen in all dire°-
, dons ? While they, whose duty it was to prevent
these things or punish the_-traitors who coin
milted these unheard of crimes, sat like a pack
of shivering cowards fearful to move, when
their villain masters were destroYing the corm
,.
try and putting it to open shame !
Finally, was it the Abolitionists who
,passed'
ordinandes,pi seCession for the avowed pinpose
of destroying , ti? Union, and alter violating
the Constitution in every part, trampled it under
foot? did they raise their ,fratricidal hands, in
bloody violence against the Sag which until that
moment had protected them at home, and ren
dered their name honorable abroad? did they
batter Fort Sumter to pieces, and for the first
time in its history humble the banner of liberty?
Does there exist out of a lunatic assylum,
any one besotted enough to assert, that these
things were not all done by Democratic leaders
—in Democratic States and permitted by a Dem
ocratic Administration ? And does not every
sensible being kritzo, that these same party lead
ers, who did these things, and permitted them
to be done, yet exult in their acts, and, through
the party they control, are now extenuating the
crimes and doing their utmost to shield the
criminals ? Heinous as the inexpressible vil
lainy is, it is comparative virtue when measured
by the standard of that infamous lie, constantly
dinned in our ears—"ihat the Abolitionists have
caused, and are responsible for this war."
The UNION is the title of a neatly printed
and ably conducted hebdomidal just started
In Georgetown, Del., by our young friend J. W.
Walleaz. As its name indicates, The Union is a
loyal publication, devoted to the support of the
Government in its efforts to crush an unholy
and causeless rebellion. It has a wide field in
which to labor, and from what we know of the
sterliog ability and undaunted courage of the
editor, The Union is destined to wield a large
influence for good wherever. its circalation
ex
tends. Mr. Wallas has our beat wishes for
his success.
Is A BAD WAY. —AU but four of the nomi
nees on the Copperhead State ticket in Mime
seta have declined. But one Democratic news
paper in the State supports the nomination,
and the name of the editor of that is on the
ticket.
JUDGE WOODWARD AND LOWRIE ON TOR STUMP
IN Pstrrannnnta.!--We have frequently stated
that Judge Woodward, particularly, had posi
tively asserted his resolution not to go on the
stump during the campaign for Governor, and
as frequently have we found Ourselves mista
ken by the acts of the Judge , himself. It
now appears that Judge Woodward and Low
rie are both on the stump in Philadelphia'.
Oar authority for this statement is derived
from the Daily News of yesterday, which says
that "Judge Woodward and Lowrie, of the
Supreme Court, were seen in the lager beer
saloon, in Library street, a few days since, in
company with a person who, a few years since,
was a prominent " Know 'Nothing." No ob
jection to the lager, Judge; but the company
is suspicious:"
—Doubtless the two worthy Judges sought
the quiet shades of a lager vault, for the pur
pose of quenching their thirst, but it is wor
thy of note, that in the haste for office of both,
they are soiling the ermine which was placed
upon their shoulders to be preserved in purity.

' A PROCLAMANION. _
WILMA% the Constitution of the United
States of America has ordabled that the privi
lege of the writ of habeas corpus shall not be
suspended, unless when in case of rebellion or
invasion the public safety may require it ; and
whereas a rebellion was existing on the third
day of March, 1863, which rebellion is still ex
isting; and whereas, by a statute which was
approved on that day, it was enacted by the
Senate and House of Representatives, in Con
grass assembled; that during the present in
surrection the President of the United States,
whenever in his judgment the public safety
may require, is authorized to suspend the priv
ilege of the writ of habeas corpus in
any case throughout the United States -or
any part thereof; and whereas, in the judgment
of the President of the United States, the pub
lic safety does requite that the privilege of the
Mid writ shall now be suspended throughout
the United States, in the cases where,
by the
authority of the President of the United States,
the military, naval, and civil officers of the

Now, therefore, I, Abraham Lincoln, Presi

and make known to all whom it may concern,
that the privilege of the writ of habeas corpus is
suspended throughout the United States, in the
several cases before mentioned, and that this
suspension will continue throughout the dura

NEW "roux, Sept. 16
The steamer Mary Sanford has arrived from
Charleston bar with advices up to Saturday
night, the 12th inst., which show that the dis
patch of yesterday from Fortress Monroe was
entirely unfounded.
The Sanford brings dispatches from the Gov

on the upper end of Morris Island, sustaining
a heavy fire from Forts Johnson and Moultrie.
The rebels have two Ib•inch guns in Fort

[Special l° the Baltimore American.]
FORTABES MOM" Sept. 15.—1 have had a
conversation with Capt. Diggs, of the steamer
Nellie Perotts.
Capt. Diggs states that he had an interview
with the captain or the steamer Cosmopolitan,
who is a very intelligent and reliable man,
being employed in bringing the wounded from
Morris Island and Hilton Head.
The Cosmopolitan left Light House inlet at
2 o'clock on Saturday morning. He reported
that a white flag was displayed from Moultrie
on Friday afternoon, an that from that time
until he left all firing had ceased.
He also reported that een. Gillruore had pos
session of half of James Nand, but did not say
how this result was achieved.
Capt. Diggs further says that when he left
Hilton Head on Saturday, he kept close to the
coast and passed Charleston bar not more than
six miles from Fort Moultrie ; that with a glass
he distinctly saw a white flag flying from the
Fort ; that perfect quiet prevailed inside the
bar during all the time he was in sight and
sound, there being no Ming either by the ene
my or by our land or naval forces.
According to his statement the white flag
was flytog from Moul tie fro& Friday evening
up to 6 o'clock on Saturday afternoon. There
might possibly have been a suspension of hos
tilities for some purpose, but even if corractl)
reported it would net indicate a surrender ;
if the latter, there would undoubtedly have
been a dispatch boat here with the news by
ibis time. We will receive Richmond papers
of Tuesday here to-morrow, t(Wednosday,)
which may throw some light on the subject.

Address of the trneondltlonal llnion State
Central COmmlttee to the People of
Maryland
The address says: "We disavow all measures
for the violent abrogation of slavery in oar
midst. We claim that, in the exercise of our
prerogatives as American citizens, we owe it to
ourselves to'discuss fairly, and finally to die.
pose of the evil ; and we hereby solemnly de
clare it to be our conviction that the dignity,
honor, and prosperity of our people alike de
mand that we should legally and constituti•n
ally abolish the institution at the earlitst period
compatible with' the beet interest of the State,
and the permanent welfare, stability, and unity
of the nation.
Since the peciple know that the substance of
slavery is already gone, and that only the
skeleton hah been left, we are of opinion that
the sooner the skeleton is removed the better
it will be for the tine interest of the State and
nation. The men we present to you are in
favor - of supporting the Administration in every
effort to put down the rebellion, and in every
'measure which it has thought necessary for the
permanent peace of the country when the re
bellion shall have been subdued. We believe
that the only way to put down the rebellion is
to pat it down by force of arms. FOr this
purpose we are wilting to vo , e every dollar ne
cessary,
.arid give every , available man; black
or white.
We-do not think ourselves at all superior to
our ancestors of Revolutionary memory, who
fought side by side with colored troops ; nor
to Andrew Jackson, who Commanded and com
plimented the colored militia who fought With
him at New Orleans. We believe it is the
bounden duty of the President to use all forces
and every weapon which God has put within
his graisp, and the laws of the United States
have authorized hini to wield in defence of the
nation. Traitors have no choice as to weapena
which are to be used for their destruction, and
