SITURDAT EVENING, SEPTEMIII- 1,1864:
NATIONAL UNION TICKET.
FOR PRESIDENT,
Abraham Lincoln,
OF rmwAs.:
POE TIC PRESIDENT.
Andrew JolAnson,
OF TENNESSEE.
Col. H. 0. Alleman.
We have made but little allusion to this
gentleman during his present official career,
but we itre free to confess that we watched
_
and scrutinized his coarse during the last two
setzioUs:of the Legislature both :closely and
critlettlly. He gave unmistakable evidences
of ability which far exceeded the most san
guine expectations of his friends, and even
his political enemies admire his talents and
acknowledge his superior fitness for the po
sition he wimples. There is no disguising
or denying the faot that Col. H. C. Alleman
has proved himself one of the very,
.best Rep
resentatives which Dauphin county has yet
sent to the Legislature, and added to his ea'
parity, he has, and uses unswerving energy,
high-toned dignity and honor, close applica
tion 'to business, always in his place, and ever
watchful over the interests of his constitu
ents, as well as the Commonwealth at large.
Daring the last two sessions Cal. Alleman
never missed a vote, although part of the time
he did himself great injustice by attending
the sessions, when severe illness would have
justified him in being confined to bed, but he
had the interests of his constituents at heart,
and was willing to make any personal sacri
fice for their benefit. We are pleased to learn
that Col. Alleman has no opposition whatever
for a re-nomination, and his re-election by an
increased and handsome majority is conceded
on all hands. If the people were generally
as careful in the selection of their legisla
tors there would be less of the odium which
turf attaches to the General Assembly.
'ihe Pensions of the Disabled Brave.
We alladed yesterday, to the positive decla
rations of leading copperheads at the recent
Chicago Convention, to the effect that if the
Deraocracy succeeded in electing McClellan,
peace would immediatelY - follow, and then the
debt incurred in conducting "this unright
eons war," would be repudiated. Then, ex
claimed one of the speakers of* the assembled
faithful at Chicago, the -20's and 10-40's now
hoarded by the rich, will not be worth a pinch of
snuff. Such a repudiation will affect more
than the bonds of the Government—it will
vitiate and render worthless every dollar of
money issued by the nation, and leave more
than the rich to regret their confidence in the
Government. It will, of course, be a repudi
ation of every obligation created by the strug
gle to secure the substantial peace of the
Country. _Every disabled soldier now living on
his pension—every widow and fatherless child
now dependent on the nob/6 care of the Govern
ment for supprt—every aged parent who has
given the only support they possessed, in the son
who was sacrificed in battie—all alike, the cred
itor who gave his material substance, the sol
dier who wasted his strength; ; and the
wife and mother, who . gave their - , dear
- est love and -affection~all will be swept
WO beggary to" complete the Democratic
triumph should George icClellan be
creme President, and thereby be made
the tool of the demagogues to whom he is in
debted for his nomination. 143:t 11S not be mis
taken in this fact. When rebellion was in
preparation the people of the loyal States were
billed to sleep by the DenAratio leaders with
the assurance that the South did not mean
war, but only the stern vindication of their
"social and domestic institutions." Events
have Since proves what the South really
did mean, while the ashes of burned Cham
bersburg prove the devilish purport of these
outrages. Now the same Democratic leaders
insist that the election of 31'CleHan only means
"peace." Let the people beware' of the
"peace" thus offered, because it will be one of
bankruptcy and beggary-,of humiliation and
shame—of ruinand degradation—of a country
changed on the map of the world, and of a
government erased from the roll of nations.

ti! lOWANS ask. loom*? •
Saarfoleir of - Treason- ilreai: -the Chicago
Market.
We cull some choice specimens of the "Free
Speech " which it is the "great mission of the
Democratic party" to protect, from the pre
liminary orations at Chicago that inspired
and indoetrianted the 'representative masses
of that party attending upon the Convention :
At one of the meetings held on Saturday
night, the distinguished Isaiah Rynders, one
of the main pillars of the Democracy in New
York, very candidly said :
"At the old line Whig Convention someone.
had called the Southern people traitors, but
he knew the South were as gallant, chivalrous,
and noble a pe•pie as God ever .created. (Cat
calls, yells, and other DerioCratic applause.)
- He was sorry the South had taken the steps
they had, but God knows they had just cause to
act as thfy did ad."
Benjandn. Allyn, of New York, did not be
lieve there was a secessionist per, se in the
whole South, and if the abolitionists were
thrown:mit of power they would all come
back. The people saw this, and if they could
not put Lincoln out by ballots, they would raise
en masse and do it by bullets."
The Hon. F. A. Leaver, of New York, de
glared, "peacefully if tee can, forcibly xf we
must, we will no lona. support this war."
Col. Stambaugh, of Ohio, said in a loudly
applauded speech, that "When this war is over
he would not give a pinch of snuff for the 5:20s
and the 10:40e hoarded by the lieh."
James H. Reed,'s member of Congress from
Indiana, made a speech which even the Chi
cago Times shirked from publishing, until, by
emasculation, it was stripped of the major
portion of its outspoken.treason.
He declared open hostility to the draft, and
urged on all, if Abraham the Ist and his sa
traps attempted to enforce it, to resist it to the
death. Let every one, he said, who preferred
liberty to death, arm himself, if he could get
no others to join him, and where there were
others, let them organize in squads and com
panies, and with arms, drill twice a week and
be prepared for the worst. If anybody in
shoulder-straps attempts to arrest you without
a warrant, shoot him down. If thcy come in
force, call in your neighbors and fight them to:
the death. Who were they ? Only weak men
like ourselves, who had usurped the duties of
the civil authorities.. A million and a half of
freemen were opposed to this military despot
ism, and could wipe it out in a day.
There is much more of the same. sort to be
got from the oratory of the great occasion at
Chicago; but this may be enough:to show how
wofully the "freedom of speech" has been sup-.
pressed in this poor, tongue-tied country of
ours, and to demonstrate how'vitally necessary
t is for the . "Democratic party", to restore to
American citizens the liberty of untrammelled
utterance.
Washington on Tories.
The tories of the Revolution occupied pre
cisely the place of the Copperheadti in our
day. They resisted the Government, gave
aid and comfort to the enemy, got up a fire in
the rear upon every occasion that offered, and
did their best to distract and divide the puhli.c
sentiment and bring defeat upon the army..
General Washington, although mild, amiable
and conciliatory, could not stand these Cal
lows, and ho accordingly advocated extreme
measures against them. In a letter to Gov
ernor Trumbull, of . Connecticut, • written dur
ing the Revolution, in relation to disaffected
and disloyal persons, he said:
"As it is now very apparent that we have
nothing to depend upon in the present con
test but our own strength, care, firmness and
union, should , not the same measures be
adopted in your and every other Government
on the continent? Would it not be prudent to
seize on those tories who have been, are, and that
we know Will be active against us P Why should
persons, who are preying upon the vitals of their
country. be suffered to skulk at targe while we
know they will do us every mischief in their
power? These, sir, are points I beg leave to
submit to your serious considerations."
These are our sentiments exactly, and the
argument that was good then, is equally good
now. Why, indeed, "should persons, who
are preying upon the vitals of their country,
be Permttted to skulk at large?" Especially
with arms in their hands, ready for assassina
tion, arson, or any other villainy that will
help their allies—the rebels. Or why should
they beallowed.to secrete immense quantities
of fire-arms and ammunition on the plea of
having the right to bear arms. If our author-
ities have been at fault in these matters,
the error. las been . on the side of
. lenieney.
We hope that no further harm will come of it.
“The Key Note.”
At a recent meeting of the Democratic asso
ciation in Washington, Dr. Allen declared
that he would make every proposition to the
South to come back again, but if they failed
he would not prosecute a war against a people
who had a right to declare what form of gov
ernment they would live under. Amos Ken
dall, who was present, said "that was just
what our opponents would have us say—that
we were willing to divide the Union, if a com
promise could not be had. Let us first elect
our men ; unite to put down this iniquitous
administration, and then we can lo' this or
any other - thing that may be practicable/
And the:Boston Courier, in remarking upon
the preceediugs, says Mr. Kendall "gives the
true key-note to the Democratic music. Un
doubtedly he does. Not a word against the
proposition to divide the Union. We must
put down this administration, says Mr. Ken
dall, and then we can "do this or any other
thing that may be practicable." Let us choose
good and true men, says the Courier, that is,
lotus choose our men, "and all the rest may be
safely lef t to the future."

Turned Saint.
One of the funniest things that ever oc
curred, or perhaps ever will occur, took place
at the regular opening of the Convention at
Chicago, on Tuesday last :
On the conclusion of the benediction by
Bishop Whitehouse, which constituted a part
of the opening exercises, he commenced the
recitation of .the Lord's Prayer, in which the
delegates attempted, by request, to join in
concert, and it is described by an eye-witness
as the richest of all rich affairs. The an
nouncement was hardlymade by the reverend
gentleman, and he had but articulated the
opening words of the prayer, when confusion
confounded ran through the whole assembly.
Had they been called on to join in the chorus
of "Pass the Flowing Bowl," or " The Bon
nie Blue Flag," or " Just another Drink Be
fore We Go," they would have been equal to
the emergency ; but the Lord's Prayer
was " too many" for them. However,.
for the sake of harmony, (?) they
started in. One delegate, whose early educe
tien evidently had not been neglected, vocif
erated at the to of his voice, "Now I lay me
down to sleep;" a Western delegate thought
himself all right with "On Jordan's stormy
banks I stand;" a clerical brother, "Our life
hangs by a single thread a delegate from
the Wabash was troubled as to "When shall I
see Jesus;" a peace fellow from Illinois gave
with good nasal twang, "How tedious and
tasteless the hour;" a New Yorker (capt. Ryn
ders probably) seemed anxious to know when
he "Could tread his title clear to mansions in
the skies,
and a short-haired Bowery Boy was
anxious to "let her rip," because he claimed
"she's all oak;" a tavern-keeper cleverly piped,
"Hy spirits never wane;" a country squire,
the first time from home, proclaimed, "Know
all men by theab presents,' and a Keystone
boy capped the climax with, "Down with tte
traitors, up with the flag."
The furor was of but short duration, but
indescribably funny and characteristic. The
Lord's prayer had evidently "played out ' with
the Chicago Convention.

WASEINGTON, Sept. 2
An official dispatch received here to-day
says the murders and depredations on the
plains are committed by comparatively few of
the several Indian tribes. It is understood
the Indian Bureau has sent thither a special
agent with a view to the pacification of the
disaffected savages.
The fact may not be generally known that
the Governor of Colorado has issued a procla
mation urging either individuals or armed or
ganizations to kill and destroy the hostile
Indians, and seize their property, distinguish
ing between those which are friendly and
those which are not so. _ This proceeding of
the Governor is independent of the Federal
authorities, and may increase rather than
lessen the calamities to which settlers and
emigrants are now exposed.
