PEOPLE'S UNION STA
AUDITOR GENERAL:
THOMAS E. COCHRAN,
of York County
SURVEYOR GENERAL:
WILLIAM S. ROSS.
of Luzern County
HARRISBURG, PA
Wednesday Afternoon, July 81,1562.
JOHN L. DAWSON.
Within the last few weeks the Congressional
conferees, representing the several counties of
Westmereland, Indiana and Greene, professing
a higher regard for Democracy than they do for
the government of their country, assembled at
Gieeoeburg, and nominated as a candidate for
Congress, one John L. Dawson. The fact of
this nomination has been heralded all over
Pennsylvania by the dough•face organs of great
or little influence, until the readers of such
j,urnals are almost forced to infer that John L.
Dawson is the dough face party, or the dough
face party has only one God, and he is John
L. Dat% sou. It is very certain that Dawson de
serves all that he has so far received or may
expect from the Democracy of Pennsylvania,
because no man in the broad commonwealth
has been more faithful to its creeds or more
intollef ant in Inforcing its doctrines. 13e is a
dough face of the quintessence lorder. In
every particular he has sustained the dogmas
on uhich rest the strength of rebellion, and for
years has labored under the teaching of that
hoary heeded and unabashed old traitor, Bu
chanan, to break down the great interests of
free labor, that the power and prestige of
slavery might become supreme in the land.
During a long public career, he never sup
ported a single measure calculated to in
crease the prosperity of the state or enhance
the welfare of his immediate constituents ; and
at the breaking out of the rebellion, he, with
others of his ilk, professed to be out of public
life. After he had started the mischief and
given all the aid in his power to rebellion,
Dawson deemed that his retiracy would be the
best aid be could give the rebel cause. But his
resolution changed when the prospect of the
overthrow of rebellion was strengthened, and
he is brought forward now for the undoubted
purpose of making an election, that he and his
party may be the better qualified to support the
traitor cause. This is proven by the fact that
Dawson has publicly avowed his determination
in the event of his return to Congress, to "vote
against all supplies to carry on this cruel war, audio
seek a peace by compromise, rather Man estrange our
[his] southern brethren from the Union altogether.
Dawson is a fair specimen of the men by
whom the gallant representative of the people
are to be opposed in the coming contest. They
do not hesitate to avow themselves opposed to
the government, nor do they take pains to
conceal their sympathy for the rebel cause.
With men like John L. Dawson, reeking with
the infamy of being the avowed sympathisers
with traitors, and making issues with the gov
ernment of the country at a moment when it
needs the support of every loyal man, the pa
triotism of the people of the congressional dis
trict which he seeks to represent, must indeed
beat a low ebb, if its loyal citizens cannot elect
a friend of the Union.
Tss mon humiliating evidence of the depths I
of depravity to which the passions and preju
dices (and we may add, ignorance) of a man can
sink his nature and his soul, is that presented in
the career of Major General Robert Patterson.
Coming to this land absolutely a beggar—shel
tered and patronised by the hospitality and the
preferences of the people—enriched and main
tamped on the bounty of the government—recog
nized and elevated when his loyalty was ques
tioned by the masses, he turns upon the men
who gave him distinction ; and the government
which fostered him, to stab both in their vital
parts. This is party spirit. This i 3 an illustra
tion of the arrogance and aristocracy of the slave
power, because even when Patterson was seem
ingly most loyal, he was then most suspected of
complicity with traitors. He now comes for
wai d as the accuser of the United States Senate,
which body he assails with something like the
virulence and vulgarity of the fish monger who
was au over match in billingsgate with Daniel
O'Connel, when that veteran wit sought to test
his skill of badinage on the Dublin dame.
It must be remembered that Patterson
speaks, not alone for himself, but for the De
mocracy of which he was and Is the centre. His
utterances are as much the reflex of a settled
purpose to oppose the government, as they are
the convictions which first prompted him to
refuse his support of that government. Little
by little these secret sympathisers with trea
son are avowing their purposes. Unless the
people take them in hand now, the time may
come when the people will not have the power
to protect themselves from each friends. If
Jeff. Davis is worthy of hanging as a traitor,
Bub. Patterson deserves imprisonment as one
of his sympathisers, until the laws of the land'
consigns him to a like fate with Davis.
HANGING Usros Paso ut GAIMISTON. —The
Charleston Ccarier states that an order has been
promulgated in Galveston, Texas, ordering
every family to leave the city, as it was to be
defended to the last. Several families not
having complied with the order, their homes
Were searched, and the Stars and Stripes dis
covered ; it having been intended to hang them
Out In case of the capture of the city. The
Courier says that all those guilty of this treason
were taken out and immediately hung.
?HE CONFESSION OF A DOUGH-FACE
WE ARE for peace now on honorable terms—a
speedy peace—if it is attainable, which will re
store the Union. The - men who are otherwise
ARE Iva mamas ! "If that be treason, make
the most of it."—.Lessistoten True Democrat.
This is the most outspoken doughfaceism that
has yet attempted the degradation of the loyal
men of the laud, and we havea notion that the
poor, brainless yet presumptous creature who
is supposed to control this True Democrat, will be
called to account by his fellows in crime and
iniquity. When the Convention was in session
which disgraced the 4th of July by its proceed
ings in this city, a proposition was discussed to
resist the payment of taxes, and at the same
time it was urged to council the people to re
fuse their support, in every secret and possible
manner, to those who are engaged in fighting
the battles of the government, because, as this
caftiff of the Democrat exclaims, the men who are
otherwise than for peace, are the traitors. In the
same article, from which we quote this confes
sion of treason on the part of one who claims to
represent the Democracy of Pennsylvania, the
following admission also occurs :
We opposed coercion when there was a hope
—a well-grounded hope for peace. We are not
only not ashamed but proud that we did so.
Surely, sensible or loyal men need no further
proof of the tendencies and objects of dough
faceism in Pennsylvania. They have entered
on the present political campaign purposely to
confirm this guilt of treason before the world,
and to boast that they had opposed the use of
all force on the part of the government, to re
sist and crush out the first demonstration to
destroy its power. Had such an opposition to
"coercion," asthis shameless apostate terms the
exercise of the federal authority, never been
tolerated, the rebellion would have been con
quered, and peace long since restored to the
land. It was this opposition to " coercion "
which has strengthened rebellion. It is this
spit it that sustains, and it is this spirit, too,
which makes up the force and character of the
Democratic party of Pennsylvania.
CKET.
A MODERN DEMOCRAT.
Ex-Governor Seymour, of Connecticut, is one
of the numerous class of Democrats who make
a great cry about the "Union as it was and tjie
Constitution as it is," and object moat stren
uously to any coercive measures being used
against " our misguided brethren of the South."
Such men are fit allies of Toombs, Yancy and
Jeff davis, and as often as they dare, raise their
howl against the government for the unconsti
tutionality of its proceedings in endeavoring to
subdue them and their followers. Their guilt
is also equally as great as the traitors in arms,
but owing to to their native cowardice they
only go far enough to spit their venom against
the government which protects and defends
them.
Ex-Governor Seymour's name was recently
appended to the list of Vice-Presidents of a war
meeting in Hartford, without his knowledge,
it seems, and he appears in a letter condemn
ing its use in such a connection, and among
other things says :
The meeting, if I have not misunderstood
its general bearing, is one which ignores peace
ful remedies of any eort as means of restoring
the Union, and calls loudly for men and means
to aid in the subjugation and consequent degra
dation and overthrow of the South. I follow,
gentlemen, in no such crusade, neither will I
contribute, in any way, to the accomplishment
of such bloody purposes.
Yet this man, with thousands of others of
the same stripe, will claim to be a Jackson
Democrat, without doubt Our country is full
cf hypocritical scoundrels of the same sort,
and the people need to watch them with a jeal
ous eye, for they will scruple at no means to
aid directly or indirectly their Southern allies,
while loudly claiming to be Democrats of the
straightest sect. The fathers of the Democrat
is party, if alive, would consider them worthy
only of banishment or the rope.
STRENGTH OP THE NAVY.—The following
comparative table shows the strength of our
Navy in 1861 and at the present.time, and in
dicates the vigor with which that important
arm of the public defence has increased. In
another year, at the same rate, it will approxi
mak closely to the powerful navies of France
and England:

AN OPINION, when given by a candid and a
brave man, is always worthy of respect and
attention. As such, we reprint the following,
from the Huntingdon Globe, one of the staunch
act and purest democratic journals in the
country:
Is the Harrisburg Patriot and Union asecession
sheet f No candid man can read it and deny
its true character. We have read it carefully
since the war broke out, and we have seen In
has issue the damn
le able secession poison that
diseasedi the who democratic party. Not
content with preaching secession through its
columns, it has agents travelling the country
who are bold in their rejoicings over a defeat
of our army. But a week ago, a fellow who
claimed to be connected with that office,
stopped at the Jackson House In this place,
and when he was told of the loss of our gun
boats at Vicksburg, he replied, "that's good
news." We heard him make the reply, when
we immediately examined the register to ascer
tain his name. He had
,registered his name
Frank S.
Surely, when such sentiments are boldly ut
tered in the loyal states, the war is being trans
ferred to our soil. Let loyal men be on the
alert, for no man knows when the torch or the
knife may gleam in hie face or be plunged into
his heart.
pentispluania Wady dttlegraph, inurktap 'Alta - noon, luip 31, 1862.
Govxmoz FLEJLIGUR must watch his ardor, or
it may carry him into company which his for
mer political allies and associates most bitterly
denounce as " agitators" and "abolitionists."
The following extract from a letter addressed
by the Governor to a citizen of Rhode Island,
breathes the true and manly feeling of patriot
ism, but that is not Democracy, and as the
`Democratic party claims Gov. Sprague, either
its adherents are mistaken in their man, or the
man has forgotten his Democracy. Gov. Spra
gue is now a United States Senator, and as such,
he gives additional force to the following senti
ment :
" I occupy a position independent of all par
ties or cliques. I take ground, first, to pursue
that course which will most effectually reduce
the rebellious states to subjection to, and re
pect for the flag. Second—that will forever,
so far as human wisdom can calculate, prevent
like occurrences from like causes. When the
first of these propositions is fully established,
then will I be glad to use all the means and
whatever ability God has given me to establish
the second. Itespectfully yours,
" WILLIAM SPRAGUE."
LOYALTY OP THE NAVAL AOADIECY.--On the
30th of June last the Committee on Naval
Affairs of the Senate was instructed, by resolu
tion, to inquire if the Superintendent of the
Naval Academy, or any of the officers connect
ed with the government or instruction thereof,
have allowed or countenanced in the young
men under their charge any manifestation or
exhibition of feelings or sentiments hostile to
the Government of the United States, and
whdther any of the officers of said Academy
have manifested any sentiments of like char
acter." On the 12th instant the Committee
made their report, which, having been print
ed, we have been able to examine. It con
tains numerous responses from the Superin
tendent and the professors and instructors of
the Academy, all bearing testimony to the
unqualified loyalty of the officers, students,
and employees of the institution, with the
exception of a few Southern cadets who with
drew and went South at the commencement
of the rebellion.
TIC FOLLOWING is a brief summary of the
new steamers constructed especially for the
United States Government within the last
twelve months :

The rebel letters seized were from Tubello,

IMPORTANT REBEL NEWS.
FROM VICKSBURG.
COMBINED ATTEMPT TO CAPTURE
THE ARKANSAS
A special despatch from Vicksburg, dated
28d, says; By an agreement between Commo
dores Davis and Farragut, an attempt was
made yesterday to capture the Arkansas. The
fleet from below was to engage the lower bat
teries, and the fleet from above to engage the
upper ones, the gun boats Essex and the ram
Queen of the West in the meantime to attack
the Arkansas and tow her out.
In consequence of some misunderstanding,
only a few shells were fired from the mortars
below, which are known to have had no effect
to divert the fire from the Essex. This vessel
attempted to run into the Arkansas and jam
her against the levee ; but the latter swung
around, and the Essex only grazed her side.
As she passed, she gave the rebel craft her
three 11-inch bow guns. Finding herself un
supported, she dropped down the river. The
Queen coming to her aid ran into the Arkansas,
making her tremblelrum stem to stern.
Recovering herself, the Queen ran on again,
so forcibly atto strain her own works badly.
Both boats then returned up the river. During
the engagement the Essex received several
shots, and had one man killed and two wound
ed. The Queen was also shot through several
times.

The Democratic Convention assembled in
Capital Equare at ten o'clock this morning.
There were from three to five thousand persons

ded, and Robert Lucas was Vice President. J.
J. Bingham, editor of the Sentinel officiated as
Secretary.
A committee of one from each Congressional
District was appointed on resolution.
The Bresident on taking the chair remarked,
that no Democrat would disturb the peace, but
probably outsiders would; and recommended
the Convention to pass them by without notice.
No attempt was made at disturbance, and prob
ably none was thought of.
Gov. Wickliff is: now speaking. He is for the
Union, provided the rights of the South, and
slavery are not interfered with. Befere doing
anything more, he would pause to see what we
are fighting for ; if to free the negroes, let not
another drop of blood be shed. He would
hang the leading rebels with the abolitionists.
He said abolitionists control every department
of the Government, and were worse than the
rebels.

ENLISTIIXNTS IN PINNSTLVAILL
WAR DAPARTMENT,
Washington, July 28, 1862.
His Ezcallency, A. G. CURTIN, .
Governor of Pamaylvania:
Sm. :-1 have been directed to advise you
that the system of enlisting recruits for nine
and twelve months, adopted in Pennsylvania,
has produced great dissatisfaction in other
States, which have confined themselves to en
listments for three years or the war.
This system, as you are aware, was adopted
without any intention on the part of your Ex
cellency or of the General Government to
make an unfair distinction between the States.
The War Department entertains an earnest
desire to act in entire harmony with the State
Governments, and a strong sense of the earnest
and efficient aid which it has always promptly
received from your Excellency ; and it Is only
because the Department is fully satisfied of the
inexpediency of short enlistments ; the impos
sibility of extending the system to other States,
and the justice of the complaints already ad
verted to, that a change is proposed in Penn
sylvania.
Hence the Secretary of War is compelled to
ask your Excellency to change your system of
recruiting and let your regiments go to the field
on an equality, in every respect, with those from
other States.
The mustering officer will continue to muster
into service recruits enlisted for nine and twelve
months, until the tenth day of August next, at
which time it is supposed the change suggested
will have been completed.
By order of the Secretary of War.
