THE PRESIDENT OP THE DOUGH-PlidE
CONVENTION--A REMINISCENCE te:WD
A PROFITABLE EXAMPLE:
While we were casually looking die and Jist- ..
ening to the proceedings of the Ccinyeoio:
which assembled and adjourned in thisoityfee
terday,, a siglit ,
, thePreisident of that body
recalled,tke past, and.'ievived the inCidents of
tiorpoiiticalestruggles that are now, regarded
as having biltn the initial movements In the'
great' rebellion which has` been convulsiig tttb
country for more than a year. 'Frands:it.,
Hughes has a history in connection math the
politics of Pennsylvania, which no effort of his
own should have been left untried to smother
or atleast not to have revived ; but as• we find
him true to his.anteeedents, and, emulous now
as heretofore to Wing disgrace MY his country,
by contributing to the deception of his coun
trymen, we cannot refrain from bringing up
the past and comparing it with the present con
dition of such'locofoco leaders.
It is well established that , the arrangements
and the plans of the leaders in the slaverhold-,
ars' rebellion, were in course of 'preparation
and secret development for many years. The
politicians of the south never 'made a move-
ment, or supported a policy in any administra
tion, for the past thirty yearsiunlese they
were
, convinctithet doing so,they would
be contributing to the success Of their Taring
efforts of nullification or secession. Thus, when
Horsy Clay was nominated for the Presidency,
and.when thellrearts the, American people
were filled with admiration for his great service
and brilliant talents, the Democratic party
placed on their ticket • James K. Polk, the in
ferior of Clay in talent, experience and patriot
ism as a statesman, and in no way to be com
pared to him as a friend and advocate of the Ines
desisned to advance the true interests and
develop the real wealth of the nation. Henry
Clay was the friend of the laboring man and me
chanic—not a friend by fulsome or idle adula
tion, but his advocate when capital or epecn
-1 ation sought the use of the energy of the one
or the genius of the other, at the sacrifice of
the vital welfare of both. In that contest,
Henry Clay would have carried New York and
Pennsylvania, had it not been for the frauds
and false - Woe& of the leasers of the Democratic
party. In Pennsylvania, `l.erticularly, the
fraud was open and bold, by the — a....u. s li sris
of
. such men as Francis W. Hughes, w!aL i ste k o
alai&l. Ina -
was a biter tariff man than Barry Clay." The in
the.nce of Mr, • Hughes, then, far exceeded his
influence. now, and the result- re "?..1 j; ;
tion of t and as a portion of the
hi s tory of the country. When Pennsylvania
interests were at stake in the question of the
Tariff, when the interests and the industry of
all the free states were involved in that ques
tion, by a treachery as base as that which now
arms itself for the assassination of loyal : men,
those interests weresacrificed in the casting vote
• of George M. Dallas, defeating the Tariff of
'46. Then followed that other Democratic
monstrosity, the admission of Texas, by which
the war with Mexico was provoked. All those
acts were links in the chain of that rebellion
which seeks to girdle and destroy the Union,
and the startling co-incident in the transaction is
the fact that the tool who played such an im
portant part in furthering the cause of slavery
and thus necessarily the cause of treason, turns
up now as the President of a Convention con
vened to give aid and comfort to traitors.
Francis W. Hughes, who eo wantonly and un
scrapionely sacrificed the laboring interests of
the whole North, by a fraud which defeated
the immortal Clay, will again attempt to play
his old game by insisting that men who openly
offered sympathy to armed conspirators, are as
loyal as those who are in the field periling
their lives in a contest for the Union. We
warn the people in time against such tricksters.
Let Pennsylvania remember the frauds by
which her labor and her mineral and agricul
tural resources were sacrificed, and the fraud
now about to be perpetrated for the sacrifice of
the Unionovill prove a mostdisgraceful failure.
Boa. Taoism E. 00011:11A11 seems to have
earned the resentment of the York Gazette, for
some goad action on his part, as that journal
takes peculiar delight in stating that the Re
publican Convention of Dauphin county refused
to instruct our delegates to the State Conven
tion in his favor for Auditor GeneraL The
motive Which induced, this misstatement of
what is a well known fact, cannot of course be
reached by any explanation we may make, but
we nevertheless deem it doe to Auditor General
Cochran to assure his friends in York county,
that the Republicans of Dauphin county not .
only rejected a resolution which sought to re
lieve our delegates to the State Convention
from instruction, but they passed resolutions
unmistakably instructing those delegates in
favor of Thomas E. Cochran for Auditor Gen
eral. In thin city Mr. Cochran is highly es
teemed for his virtues and manly accomplish
ments, by the society in which he moves, while
his official acts, since he has bean at the bead
of the Auditor General's Department of the
Commonweaith; have won for him a confidence
among those having business with his Depart
ment, such as few Auditor Generals heretofore
enjoyed. Will the Cantle :frankly state these
facts as due to an honorable citizen of York?

of Schuylkill county, is dead. His funeral oc..

, t,,ittKire description, Mr&
tich we believe was cop edby the Patriot, is
to the effect that hiesars. Wood, Woriell.& co t
had employed , a number of "contrabands" in
the Cambria iron works. This story has been
going the rounds of the loixdoop press. It has
been magnified until many peoPie believe that
negroes are actually crowding white men from
places of employment, thus degrading labor by
a reductiob of wages and threatening with
starvation the laboring men of Pennsylvania.
But , the. truth spoils the whole story, and an
expose shows that the firm 'alluded to, never 1
employed a single contraband, heretofore or
now,. at the 'Cambria ironworks. The entire
report and publication of such employment of
negroes Was gotten tip' by the Democratic press
of Pennsylvania to mislead the.honest laboring
men of the state into the support of a corrupt
Minbination about to be entered into for the
~
Purpose of bringing the war Oa close by humil
iating the national government. The labor is
worthy of the Democratic party, after it has
contributed the excuses for and the resources
to carry , on rebellion. . '.
'
TSE ThVE EVA.. a2ME.
Not distant, it is to be hoped, is the day
when
.Great Ibitain can be informed by our
government that her colonial empire does not
embrace the United States. There is a rational
limit to patient & rbearance in national affairs.
Offensiveiknd impertineet as the language of
the public men of Great Britian has constantly
been respecting affairs oath's side the Atlantic,
the manner in which the government and peo
ple of England have acted towards the federal
authority, caps the climax, !Ind' leaves their
action without a parallel in the intercourse of
nations.. From , first to last, Great Britian has
been our cringing or our domineering enemy.
British Statesmen have decried American pro
imua *. etentatione of the
the contempt and ridicule of the worl rI ..
journals have belied American proweim and
valor in battle, American genius and energy in
• d suleueo, until the perversity
with which this species of lying has been car
ried on, proved to threople of this country and
to the world ithitt Eatlignunin - lueraa
to slander a rival as they are prone to oppress
an unequal contestant hi the race of nations.—
The time will come ere long, when thi , intoler
ably meddlesome disposition of Great Britain
will be resented in another manner. The tem
per toward us is constantly unfriendly,captious,
quarrel seeking. It has been manifeited in all
possible modes, short of open hostility. Nen
ttality hag been a cover for aid and encourage
ment to the rebellion. The reirpartiality for
the - rebel cause is hardly dieguisett As the re
hellion draws towards its close, the mindsof the
people will he turned to unsettled balances with
the European potters. eilrhat energies would
be evoked in a quarrel with Great Britain let
those compute who know the intensity of Irish
hatred against Ireland's oppressor.
A KILITAR r ITEM.
The Home Guard of the State must amount
to within ten or fifteen thousand men, and ad
ded to these there are not lesit i, than fifteen or
twenty tho usand more able men,, who have
heretofore been attached to military organisa
tions, and who fully underatand the routine of
the drill and the i titteotarins. Thus then, al low
ing a falling off from combined numbers,
of five thousand men, for reasons which cannot
now be assigned, there would be a force'Of
thirty thOusind men, readyikence for active
duty. Thirty thousand men perfect in the man
nal—possessing a knowledge of what is requir
ed of a soldier; would ' rept need much train
ing fer field service's. •An appeal,to these men,
that there sertticei are imperatively demanded
in the field, will have the effect of bringing
them forward, as our other contributions were
made, with little delay and great enthusiasm.
Thirty thousand men, thus sent forward in
few days or even weeks, by. Pennsylvania,
would change affairs in the south, and un 7
doubtadly puti an end , to • the war. , Will these
efficient and gallant Peimsylvmdarta, think of
this moat important trui.h. The safety of the Re
publie is in their hands. qod and future gen
erations .will hold them responsible for that
safety. In the name of God and our country,
then, let this reitioneibillty be promptly met
and gallantly discharged.
grozrawaiz JACKSON seems to have certainly
expiated his crimes as a traitor on the battle
field instead of the gallows. There is no doubt
of his death, and thus the rebel cane is de
prived of the services of a desperate villain as
well as an officer of great capatity and enter-
prise: Sb our bona In the stetWof "GeOrgia.-

appears that, notwithstanding all Our losses,
grey were exceeded by,those of the enemy, and
we gained the " victory . The Pennsylvania Re

these engagements were very severe. Thsy.in

and the commanderspf two brigades, Reynolds
and Meade, and about half their rank and file
all told.
Our brave Pennsylvanians seem to have been
a/ways under fire in this series of battles, and
always, too, hi the front of danger, They
stood it like heroes, until at' last they were
thoroughly worn out. We a7tpected them to
do their duty, and they have proved ,that our
trust was not misplaced ; but we cannot repress
thfeeliug of sorrow fOr their terrible sufferings,
ough.otheir good old State gathers fresh lau
rels from their heroism. It is gratifying to
find that the-noblest tribites to their gallantry
in all these battles were paid by the correspon
dents of New York nelspapers, which journals
are not much in the habit of praising anything
belonging to Pennsylvania. Their gederous
justice in this instance deserves special men
tion.
GO V. STANLEY AT WASHINGTON, N. C.
The speech of Go*. ttanly, on . the 17th ult.,
a Washington, N. C.,, as republished in full
from the Newbern (N. C.) Progress, contains,
a great variety of forme, an asseriton that
he is authorized to stay, atpratent, the advanta
of our armies into North Carolius, but that he,
cimnot much longer restrain our military forces,
if the people of that state do not voluntarily
return tolheir allegiance. He says:
T ula-. !Tu.:clime-tit

and the army will be fer4d in search inward.

Soon it will be too late for you to accept of my
honorable terms. Then events anust - b8 left to:
'the, harsh and crnel..neoelsides of the justipe

And again : .
"Mr. Lincoln is no abolitionist. He is the

We have Do sort of doubt that Governor
Stanley tells the truth when he says that he
hois exerted his influence to prevent the march
of our armies into North Carolina, and that he
has done so from an apprehension of injury to
slavery, which institution, as an enemy of
abolitionism, he feels desirous to protect. We
shOuld believe it, if he did not admit - it, just as
we believe that, General Sharmaii, when in
command at Portlioyal, was restrained 'irons
advancing by the same colaideration, and upon
the view that "the time had not yet conic"
Governor Stanley doeinot say, and we do
not believe, that he , had . any , directions from
the President to' exercise a restraining influ

such policy.
