At a period when the hot shot and bombs were falling thick and
fast around the gallant band who were defending their country's
honor in Fort Sumter, Gov. Curtin bad sent into the Legislature
of the State, then in session, a message suggesting the better or
ganization of the militia, and asking for an appropriation of five
hundred thousand dollars to place the state on a war footing. When
the bill proposing to make this appropriation came before the
Legislature, Dr. Heck voted against it, and thus practically de
clared his disregard of all that aimed at the defence of our homes and
the preservation of our liberties.
The bill as it passed, can be found in the last year's volume of
the laws of the state, page 229—and the proceedings attending its
passage in the House, in the Journal of 1861, page 957. We ex

Freemen of Dauphin' county I Soldiers! who marob.edet - theirst
call of danger to the defence of the
,capital of your coptry,. and
who still rest upon your arms night and day around the limits
of that capital, are you ready to vote for a man who so lightly es-
timated the honor of your country and the lives of its defenders Dr.
Heck is one of the old Breckenridge Democrats who sympathized
and still sympathize with and confide in the course of the traitor
Breckenridge, and showed his attachment for those who are at the
head of this rebellion by refnsing to make an approprietion to arm
the great state of Pennsylvania to aid their overthrow and its
suppression. This man is again before you, and again solicits
your vote that he may again disgrace the halls of legislation with
his presence and his conduct. He desires to be returned that he.
may aid in embarrassing the future efforts of our noble old cod
monwealift in assisting to redeem the land from rebellion by enforc
ing the laws and vindicating the federal authority. No patriot, no
brave, loyal lover of his country can vote for Dr. Heck.
Freemen, remember that this is the record of Dr. Heck whilst he was in the Le
gislature. Let us now examine his action at a later period.
On the 7th day of August, 1862, the Democratic County Convention met at the
Court House, in this city, for the purpose of nominating a ticket. Dr. LEWIS
HECK was a delegate to that Convention, and assisted in nominating hini l iqf as a
candidate for the Legislature. We copy the following from the Patriot and Union
of August 8, 1862, viz
" Dr. HECK moved that the resolutions passed by the Demooratic State Conven
tion on the 4th of July be adopted by this Convention.
" The reading of the resolutions was Galled for, and after reading of which they
were adopted amid applause."
The resolutions and nominations of that Convention have thus been fairly and
openly approved by Dr. HECK, and we give him all due credit for his action in
having them adopted. He stands therefore squarely up to the platform which the
frieads of the traitor John C. Breckenridge advocated in this State. •
The candidates nominated by that convention are also the avowed enemies of the
country. Isaac Bleaker and James P. Barr, for Auditor and Surveyor General, are
both on the record as the abettors of rebellion. Moniker seconded . the Worts of
Buchatutt to steal , or purchase Cuba—and he was also in favor and would now r
tablteh, if he had the power, the slave trade in every port of the Union. Barr is
known to have so far defended treason as to have incurred the wrath and run the daa.
ger of a halter at Pittsburg.
Such is the record and such the company in which we find Dr. Heck.
First, We find him voting %gnat anlrthitg the State
Second, We discover him in a Convention called, to endorse the proceedings of
those who openly oppose the National Government.
Third, He refused to vote money to
.pay those who were *Bing to de f end the
honor and glory of the Commonwealth.

FRANK HUGHES' TREASON UNVEILED.
u: ~ '.ylr 'y M' ~~ rl:. r.o+~ ~~ x-11: .
On Tuesday afternoon we printed, from the
irmer's Journal, of the 27th ult.; a startling re
cord. It was clearly shown in that record, over
the signature of one of the ablest members of
the bar in Schuylkill county, that Frank
Hughes, chairman of the Breckenridge StAte
Central Committee, was tainted with a seces
sion feeling and professed a traitor sympathy,
at once insulting to loyal men and dangerous
to loyal communities. This exposure was sus
tained by the testimony of two of the most re
spectable and loyal men in that region, David
Lomison, whose reputation for veracity and in
tegrity no one will challenge, and Jerome K.
Boyer, a Douglas Democrat, now a candidate
for the Legislature on the Union ticket in
Schuylkill county. Nevertheless, the revela
tions were so shocking to the loyal heart of our
noble State, that many people were loth to be
lieve it. The first of the charges were that
Hughes was heard to say : "lam a delegate
to the Democratic State Convention at Harris
burg, and I am going over to attend the Con
iention, and when there, I intend offering a
resolution before that Convention, that Penn
sylvania secede from the Union, and join herself
with the south, and leave Rhode Island, and
Cennecticut, and Massachusetts, and them d-4:1
little petty states, to subsist on their codfish and
Plymouth rock." And thafhe did offer such
a resolution in committee, General James, of
Warren, a member of the committee, supporting ,
the allegation, declaring that " Kr. Hughes
came to me in the committee room and asked
me to support his d—ti treasonable resolution i
After I had read it I got so d—d mad that I
shook my fiet and swore that if he attempted to
offer that resolution, either in committee or
Copvention, that I would pitch him and his
resolution headforemoit out of the window."
• We now ask attentio n the resolution since
, ,
openly avowed by - Filincis W. Hughes himself,
under his own name, as having been. prepared
•
by him to be offered at .tht Democintic State
Convention referred to. It will be • perceived.
that it argues in favor of the secession of Penh-
sybarite froze, the Union, and her addition to
the dominion of Bebeldom under the auspices
Of Jeff. Davis. Yet this is the author of the

Office of the Democratic Standard, at Pottsirille
on Monday morning, September 28th, 1882 : ;

NEAR AMMAN, Oct. 4, 1862
[Correspondence of the Tnitanspa.]
Yesterday the whole United States were with
us. We refer to President Lincoln and Gen.
McClellan, upon whose shoulders the death:lies
of this country rest. In company with a large
military escort, the President visited the scene
of the recent sanguinary conflict, and after
wards reviewed the troops comprising the en
tire Army of the Potomac. In conformity with
special orders given, no cheering was permitted
along the lines. Why this precaution, there
are many sur,oises. 'lhe President looks care
worn, and anxiety was depicted upon his usu.
al good natured countenance. In all probabil
ity, this grand review is preparatory to a grand
move into secessia. There have been rumors
that the army would winter on the line of" the
Potomac—recruit its shattered columns,;aud
prepare for an early spring campaign. But We
know that inaction at the present time, Whim
the rebels are dispirited and demoralised, would
not be tolerated by the vszpopuli, who are deep
ly interested in cutting short this unhappy and
unholy rebellion. Besides this, Gen. McClel
lan is aware of the fact that the masses derntind
it of him as commander of the army, to "press
the enemy to the wall." "Now" is the watch
word.
A successful reconnoissance was made this
morning by oar cavalry in a direction to the
east of Martinsburg. The enemy were not
found in force at any particular point, It Wks
well ascertained, however, that Winchester Vega
held by about two thousand infantry. Several
detachments of cavalry were espied on the brOw
of a hill at a considerable distance, having made
their appearence ' as our scouts were returning;
a few straggling deserters from rebeldona were
picked up by the way. It is notto be presumed
that a stand will be made by Lee or Jackie:in
this side of the Rapidan; whither the main body
of the southern army hail retired, we mean
what was left of it after the invasion of Mary
land. From a refugee Whom we conversed with
yesterday, we learned that the reception given
the rebel army by the people of. Maryland his
had a not very pleasant effect upon the leaders
of the rebellion, while the press of Richmond
complain bitterly of their shabby treatment.
The caption of one article is "Ephraim has join
ed to her idols, let her alone.' They impute
their return from that State, not to defeat, bat
to a want of proper supplies and the great die
tance from their base of operations. The army
itself acknowledges themselves as badly whip
ped, but the leaders are attempting to cloak
their tremendous defeat, lest it might interfero
with their deep laid schemes in dteering othes
to fill up their thinned ranks. The most hi
telligent southerners are well convinced of the
fact, that a further continuation of hostilitiea
will only end in annihilation.
We have /earned from one of our pickets,
that to-day a rebel picket belonging to the 3rd
Virginia cavalry came to the middle of the river
and invited one of our men to meet him offer
ing
him a drink of cider. The federal
soldier threw down his gun and waded out to
where this son of the Old Dominion was wait.
lug. The canteen was emptied, and quite a
lengthy converiation ensued. Among other
information it was stated that at present there
was'an increasing desire in' the south to return
to the Union, and that pears would soon be mods.
You have heard similar reports in the sensation
daily journals, bat it seems there is some fours •
dation. However, nothing leas than au uncon
ditional surrender of the leaders of the rebellion
to justice, we trust, will be one of the first pro
positions for a peace, with a prompt return of
all to their allegiance. Let there never be left
behind the seeds of a future outbreak, yet in,
dealing out justice it should be tempered with'
mercy. Time will reveal all thiogs.
The farmers hereabouts have stopped com
plaining, having been informed that the Gov
ernment Will compensate them for all losses.
Some who are at heart "secesti," make loud
protestations of their loyalty. This is the case
in several instances, where it is an undoubted
fact that preparations had been making for
some time previous to the invasion to give the
rebel army a warm welcome. Our forces have
made terrible havoc in sundry placei—and all
domestic supplies seised by the men. Fences
are destroyed for milesbut had the rebel
army been permitted to remain many days
longer in "My Maryland," they would have
reduced this lovely valley to the ruin' and deso
lation that the mother of the President's pre
sents—a barren desert.
There have been within the past few days a
number of sudden deaths—due to the exposed
situations of the various camps, etc. To-night
two burials took place beneath a large poplar
nearly opposite our tent. The time and place
made the scene an impressive one, and we saw
men sobbing whom the fall of their brave com
rades on the field of the Antietam never moved.
It seemed to us remarkable that the death of
hundreds amid the terrible shock of battle has
little or no effect upon the finer feelings of our
nature. The excitement of the - conflict no
doubt chills sensibility—and the heart becomes
Callous. War, to say the least, has a demoral
izing effect—yet, we must acknowledge that
among our soldiers sympathy finds a deep lodg
ment in the heart. This was exemplified on
the field, after the late.battle, when our woun
ded heroes, unmindful of their own sufferings,
endeavored to render assistance to those who a
few hours before sought their lives. Then they
were as brothers. " Why should we fight each
other—are we not Americans 2" they said, and
the canteen went round, while a glow of grati
fictition lit up the countenances of Federal and
rebel. W. H. B.

the fact that McKean had been President of
a Compromise Convention, held in the Court

proposed to compromise with the South, &0.,
and therefore McKean "tad a bad record,"
