rind UNION-•THE CONEhrrirtiON--AND
THE ENFORCEMENT OF THE LAW.
HARRISBURG, PA
Friday. Morning, September 6, 1861.
Arta TaiIPIOPLIE CAPABLE or Sars-eovsaarnerr ?
This was the question that first embarrassed
the British. Ministry under George 111, when
they were calculating the power and uses of the
American colonies. While the Ministry were
deliberating on the subject, the problem was
being practically solved amid war, carnage and
thatlr. It was established that the people of
the colonies, were capable of self-government,
and however new and .novel such apolicy seem
ed to be in the eyes of the statesmen and rulers
of the world, the experiment on this continent
was regarded with favor by the most intelli
gent, while even the most despotic and doubt
fal were willing that it should have a fair trial. ' 1
That trial proved its success. The nations oil
this world, one by onejecognized the power and
potency of a government founded on free insti-' '
talons, Man's ability for self-government be
come not only an established, fact, but his
influence weak:admitted and - respected, and
the fair structure of a Union which
bad been reared from thirteen insignificant
eohndea„ became the theme of the praise of: the
patriotic and the hope of the oppressed through
out the world. In, the midst of our power
among, all governments, when our home Indus
try and foreign commerce were most prosper
ous and extensive—when wealth and indepen
dence seemed to be the heritage of every Ame
rican ,citizen, the nation is suddenly aroused
with doubts as to the capability of the masses
for self-government. Aro the people capable of
self-government 1 Shall the people of the coun
try, rule : the country ? Or shall a minority, an
aristocracy of wealth, successfully appeal from
the decision of the people to the arbitrament of
; arms? It is the question of human liberty in
its intensest form. Shall our government be
based upon the principle of freedom or of
.slavery?. Shall we continue a republic, in which
itll differences are to abide a settlement by ar
gument, and
.at the ballot-box t Shell. we, in
deed, continue to.. have any national existence
at shalt we ;link frangible con
likinierate of 'frangible conititunities, and go
batik Into a state of barharous anarchy ?
In fighting this great battle of the Union and
conetitotional liberty, these questioria must, riot be
banished , or disregarded. The basis of the Union
—the idea of its formation, was for the spread, en-
Itughlgand encouregement of free institutions.
By habil/ding forces, freedom was sought to be
vouchsafed to all men. Those who constructed
it, never Conternplated that it should be used to
protect slavery beyond the limits in which it
was found when that Union was formed. It
was} a . compact for the creation, furtherance and
iprotection of free institntion, and so nobly has
It 'stationed its ends, that since it, was signed
ankeealecl, not • a single commonwealth' has
fairly *lkea to be admitted within its folds with
the:institution of slavery in its charter. This
!SUE+ seciet, then of! the slave-holders opposi
tibn'e) the !Man. 'Feeling, that the free states
arehound to increase—seeing that the power
of *very le on the wane, and that it is fast
loosing its political prestige and franchises, the
advocateis of Slivery seek the destruction of
the Anierican Union that American slavery may
rise to power and respectability on its ruins.—
They deny the ability of the masses of 'the free
states for self government, in order to give con
agency to the claim that all labor should be
ensl4ved. They uphold an aristocracy the bet
ter to define the wicked distinctions they are
Aldraggling to establish—and in all their efforts
the r l'eadent of this rebellion are unwittingly
KOillig to the world, , that the struggle "Which
th e y. have, forced on the legitimate authority of
the nation, is the same to all interests. and pur
iltlies.as the one in which our fathers first en
gag.O'for the tight Of eelf-government. That

THE ADMINISTRATION AND ITS AS
SAILANTS.
The class of men in the loyal states who es
teem their partizan feelings as superior to any
emotion of patriotism or love of country in the
hour of its peril, are constantly justifying them
selves with their own construction of certain
acts o f Congrestr They assert that; they have
the right of opinion, the freedom of, speech, and
therefore will approve or condemnall such ache
of the administration as in' their judgment may
be worthy either of approval or condemnation.
In this spirit, some ; of these learned gentle
men have become over wise and profound be
yond the understanding and appreciation of
common people. While they, dare not deny
that this is a war for the Union and Constitp-.
tional liberty, they insist that the adrainistra-1
tion of Abraham Lincoln shall not be allowed)
any discretionary power in tarrying on the'
war, and
,thii.t the rebels shall have all the be
nest of the most liberal construction of the,
identical Constitution and laws they axe
banded together to destroy and usurp. It,
is while insisting on this, that such as those
who. secretly sympathize with treason, make,
this pretext , of attacking the itiministra-.
tion the means of aiding the rebel cause. Fronal
the beginning this has been the motive of those,
who have been assailing the efforts of the fed-;
eral authority to put down rebellion, while they !
have Only been preiented from a more . pOsltiyei
and direct support of the rebel cause, by the:
still more positive resolves of the people of the
north to refuse the sympathisers for treason the ,
protection of the same laws which traitors were'
conspiring to destroy. Nothing but the fear of
the passionate resentments of the people have'
kept the old dough-faces of the north in subjec
tion—and wherever this sternspirit of resistance:
to sympathy ia manifested, there we hear the
least of hypocritical 'cries for peace at the ex
pense of honor. •
One of the blatant cries of the enemies of the
administratiiin is, iliat at:ingress refilled to en
dorse its acts on the subject of the war. They :
make this, assertion when they desire to assure
theii allies in the south that the war is only a
partizan aggression, and they re-iterate it when
they seek the aspersion of some individual mena-,
ber of the Cabinet. To all such we commend`
the third section of the "act to increase the pay
of the privates in the regular:army and of the'
volunteers in the service of the United States,
and for other purposes." It reads as follows :
"Sao. 3. And be it further melted,. That.allacta,
proclamations and orders of the President of
the United Statel after the liaurth Of March,
1861, respecting the army and navy of the
United States, and respecting the calling out of
or relating:to the militia or volunteers from the
states, ARE HEREBY APPROVED AND IN ALL HS j
mars LEGALIZED and made valid, to the same.
intent and with the same effect as if theY had:
been issued or done under the previous sapless
authority and direction of the Congrets of the
United States.'' ...—.
This is plain and emphatic , language, and re
lates in full` to all the acts accompanying the
organization of the army first called into the
field to , defend the federal capital. • Out of thati
organization .has grown the masa of libel and
falsehood which have been leveled at the Cabi- ,
net, by the hordes of 'disappointed 4.64;1
timer men who first , desired to %pectilate ori tire
necessities of;. the !ration. Thaw "acts, procla l
mations and orders" of the President were the
work of the different members of the Cabinet;
as the objects they aimed at achieving went
concerned, and being such in fact, this endorse 7
ment is the best, vindication which the men
most assailed can possibly desire. But it is sup
pressed by those who persist in their covert
work of treason in attacking the administratiOui
and the Constitution garbled or misconstrued
to prove that the "presidnnt has been guilty of
a wrong, or that the traitor Mode of rebellion is
the proper and legitimate means of correcting
an evil or establishing a right

" All persons who shall be taken with arms
in their hands within these lines shall tried by
a Court-martial„and,, if found } guilty, wil:be

—Of course, those rebels who meet the Union
ists in.fair fight are not affected by this rUle,
but those only who hide or pretend , to he new
tral when the Unionists are in force, and only
show theirlangs when they can pounce on a far
inferior body. Gen: Fremont will dear huntan

While the secession sympathisers'of the Patriot
and Union are arguing against thoauthority of
the federal government to suppress any news
paper in the loyal states, or the rebel states
either, that persists in supporting rebellion,
there are other Democratic journals in the good
old state of Pennsylvania, which sustain
the,action of the administration in that partic
ular; endorsing it not 'only as legal, but as emi
nently called for by the necessities of the times.
Among these is the Doyleetmen Democrat, which
alludes to these suppressions in the following
just and eogent language :
TORY Naives/atm/a --We are more and more
astonished from day to day to find the number
of newspapers in the free states which give aid
and comfortio the enemy: Under the flimsey
guise of opposing tha - orlministration in what
they are pleased•to term "Lincoln War," they
are assisting the rebels:in their unholy crusade
against the government. This course gives
them more aid and comfort than can done in
any other manner, except by `shouldering the
musket and fighting in their ranks. It en
courages them to believe that we are divided
in the North, and that there 'is a strong party
here in favor of peace upon their own terms.
Peace now is treason, and those who are advo--
rating it are really traitors to their country,
whether they mean to be:or not. Every. word,
spoken against the war, or in favor of peace, or
anything said or done to paralize the govern
ment in its efforts to put down rebellion,theis
'
strengthening, the hands of the rebels. his
course has been pursued to sucluextent, by some
journals, that public indignation is beingawak
ened against them, and they are being called to'
severe account. In New York they have been;
returned by the grand jury as'treasonable;
sheets, while in some , • instances in ' this state
they have been treated in a more swim ..ry,
way. In another column will be found an ac-I

and close'uP every sucliestablighment that does ,

plape thus describes the scene :
Vallaradighrun—Gen. Vallandigham—was
presented with a little bill of fifty : five cents for
whisky with which he, had treated 'BOMB of his
friends before the election last fall. He was
too a ee'p in secession not to take up with the
kindred trick of repudiation. So he, determined
to repadiate the whisky bill; and inarching in
SOL nerehelrode's grocery, imperiously denied
thathe owned the money. Sol. insisted that
the rll was right, and finally becoming some.

foe 'advancing, retreated a few paces, drawing
a six shooter of a large size. But even with
this terrible weapon, and all his bowie-knives
besides, Val. was not confident of victory--not
by aid _ means. He had more confidence in his

able portion of his command, at a point half

DepeASieht. ' Their object is to attend to their
herculean labors, and let the condition of dis
appointed politicians and would-ba, contractors
take tire of thein. '
One of the chief causes of delay in the in
,9i.egadUthe nitvy early ib tbe seaqpn, was the
insufficiency of the supply cannon. 'Pas
difficulty has beencompletelysurmonnted. The
supply, thanks to our numerous fonndries, is
equal to the dettlead, and ships and guns are
being increased, rapidlyin numbers.
