SUBSCRIBED FOR IN CLUBS OF NOT LESS

We have been compelled to raise the club subscription
price to one dollar and fifty cents In order to save our
selves from actual loss. Paper has risen, including
taxes, about twenty-five per cent., and is still rising;
and when we tell our Democratic friends, candidly, that
we can no longer afford to sell the Weekly PATRIOT AND
Union at one dollar a year, and must add fifty cents or
stop the publication, we trust they will. appreciate our
position, and, instead of withdrawing their subscrip
tions, go to work with a will to increase our list in every
county in the State. We have endeavored, and shall
continue our efforts, to make the paper useful as a party
organ, and welcome as a news messenger to every fam
ily. We flatter ourselves that it has not been without
Some influence in producing the glorious revolution in
the politics of the State achieved at the late election;
and if fearlessness in the discharge of duty, fidelity to
the principles of the party, and an anxious desire to pro
mote its interests, with some experience and a moderate
degree of ability, can be made serviceable hereafter, the
Weekly PATRIOT AND UNION will not be less useful to
the party or less welcome to the family circle in the fu
ture than it has been in the past. We 'Confidently^ look
for increased encouragement in this great enterprise,
and appeal to every influential Democrat in the State to
lend us his aid in running our eapecription list up to
twenty or thirty thousand. The expense to each indi
vidual is trifling, the benefit to the party may be great.
Believing that the Democracy of the State feel the ne
cessity of sustaining a fearless central organ, we make
this appeal to theist for aseistanee with the-fullest confi•
dence of success.
The same reasons which Induce us to raise the price
of the Weekly, operate in regard to the Daily paper, the
price of which is also increased. The additional cost to
each subteriber will be but trifling; and, while we can
not persuade ourselves that the change necessarily made
will result in any diminution of our daily circulation,
yet, were we certain that such would be the conse
quence, we should still be compelled to make it, or suf
fer a ruinous loss. Tinder these circumstances we must
throw ourselves upon the generosity, or, rather, the
justice of the public, and abide their verdict, whatever
it may be.
Tha period for whieh many of mu , subscribers have
paid for their paper being on the eve of expiring, we
take the liberty of issuing this notice, reminding them
of the same, in order that they may
RENEW THEIR CLUBS.
We &ail also take it as an especial favor if our present
subscribers will urge upon their neighbors the fact that
the PATRIOT AND UNION is the only Democratic paper
printed In Harrisburg, and considering the large amount
of reading matter, embracing all the current news of
the day, and

There is scarcely a village or town in the State in
which a club cannot be raised if the proper exertion be

would be willing to make the effort to raise a club.

N. B.—The following law, passed by Congress in 1860,
defines the duty of Postmasters in relation to the de
livery of newspapers to club subscribers:
'See Lvtac, Brawn ¢ Apo?s edition of the of iseo,
pegs BS, chapter 131, seciiiin 1.)
"Provided, however, that where packages of newer'.
persor periodicals are received at any post office directed
to one address, and the names of the club subscribers to
which they belong, with the postage for a quarter in ad.
sauce, shall be handed to the postmaster, he alien de
liver the same to their respective owners)'
To enable the Postmaster to comply with this regula
tion, it will be necessary that be be furnished with the
list of names composing the club, and paid a quarter's
(or year's) postage in advance. The uniform courtesy
of Postmasters, affords the assurance that they will
eheerfuliyaccommouste club subscribers, and the latter
should take care that the postage, which is but a trifle
in each case, bepaid in advance. Send on the clubs.

MONDAY MORNING, MARCIE 16 1863
SPEECH
0 I
THOMAS H.'S E YMOUR,
DetheOrdlie Candidate for Governor of Connecti•
cut, at the great Mass Meeting at Hartford,
Wednesday, March 11, 1863.
GENTLEMEN : When I oame before you some
time since I spoke to you of the duty which it
seemed to me devolved upon us in the present
crisis, and I spoke also of the events which
had brought this crisis upon us. At that time
I stood before you in the capacity of one of the
rank and file. (Applause.) since then I have
been promoted to a place on your State ticket.
This is a great honor, I can assure you, and
one which I most highlz i , appreciate, and not
the less so on account 'of the trials that it
brings with it. Whatever these trials may be,
I give you my word, fellow citizens, that I
shall bear them without a murmur. In enter
ing upon the struggle which is before us, and
which it is manifest is to be a severe one, I am
not to forget that it is no cause of mine, but it
is your cause, and mine and yours - together.
(Applause.) And believing it to be just and
upright, I cannot for a moment believe that
there is to be any failure about it. (Cheers.)
The voice that comes on the breeze to us from
New Hampshire (cheers) tells us «We have
done what we could for the cause," and it is
for you now to take up that cause and carry it
on and cover yourselves with imperishable
glory. (Great applause.) Gentlemen, I have
spoken of the crisis in our affairs. The world
has never seen one exactly like it. Our rights
have been taken away by arbitrary power; the
sword and the bludgeon have been called in to
effect these most wicked outrages. What have
we to oppose to them? The ballot only; but
the ballot is mightier than kings. (Applause.)
The poet has well described how it
"As lightly falls
A s snowflakes fall upon the sod,
But executes a freeman's will
As lightning does the will of God !"
—(Great cheering.)
Now, my friends, what is required of us at
this juncture in our affairs ? I address my
self indiscriminately to all those who have en
listed under our banner—to those who have
enlisted under our banner for the vigorous
prosecution of peace. (Great applase.) What
is required of us, I say ?—perfect freedom of
speech, abnegation of self, self-possession,
steadiness of purpose, and a firm and unalte
rable resolution to stand by the Constitution
and the laws. Well, now, your declarations,
my friends, in regard to these great objects of
your party organization as expressed in the
proceedings of your convention have raised a
storm about your heads, and it rages at. the
present time. lam glad that it is so. I see in
the very fury of the gale the means of deliv
erance. (Applause.) Gentlemen, I crossed the
Black Sea once in a fearful tempest—a tempest
that sent the waves chasing after us like so
many fiends, but it was the wild winds that
drove away the mist there along the coast and
opened to our view the anchorage of the Bos
phorus. If it had not been for the gale we
might have drifted toward the Asiatic coast and
been caught betweih the Symplegades. Now
the rage of man is as the raging sea, and those
that fear either will not, do to pursue the levia
than under the tropics, or to grapple with the
hydra of federal Abolitionism. (Applause.)
Gentlemen the doings of your convention have
my hearty approval. They have called out all
the bitterness of the opposition. Now, it is
lamentable that there should be so much bit
terness at the present day, but I suppose that
it cannot very well be helped. If you and
those associated with you in drafting your
resolutions had glossed over. the atrocious
doings of the men in power, if you had com
promised with your consciences and found an
excuse here and an apology there for what had
been done, you might have passed muster with
the men in power, and been voted patriots of
the second water, if not the first. But, my
friends, it is better as it is. Who noble ends
by noble means would obtain should not count
the cost. of the struggle. Who would win the
crown must first wrestle with wild beasts at
Ephesus, and I therefore rejoice that yoa have
taken your stand in favor of State rights and
constitutional rights, and that you are deter
mined to maintain these. (Applause.) Do this
and you shall recover your liberties. (Great
applause.) Fail to do this and you will be
crushed between the upper and the nether mill
stone.
Now, gentlemen, another thing; since you
have come out thus boldly, as you should have
done, the old talk is revived here in this com
munity about loyal and disloyal, and tests of
this kind are applied to one and another in the
community.' Not, those who use these words
in scorn or in hatred of you either do not
know the true origin and application of these
words, or they are troubled with what is called
the "King's Evil." (Laughter.) Air, what have
loyal or disloyal to do with our institutions ?
They are not indigenous to our soil any more
than the Canada thistle or the deadly upas.
When the Americans cast off the British yoke,
they banished the words "loyal" and "dis
loyal" from our political bible. They are not
to be found either in the Constitution of your
country or in the "psalm" of Jefferson and li
berty. But I will tell you where you may find
them, In the proclamations of Lord Howe,
and Cornwallis, and Clinton, and in their or
ders which gave the Jerseys and the Carolinas
to fire and sword; and if you look finale' you
may possibly find them in the death warrant
which consigned the martyr Hale to an igno
minious grave. We are not called upon to in
dulge in any such language as this. Devotion
to the Constitution and to the Union of our
country is the sentiment of our heart, and is
all .that we are called upon to render. As for
those other words of "treason" and "traitor"
which political hatred is constantly casting in
the faces of patriotic, liberty-loving men, they
are of little or no account, excepting when the
lying tongue may expose some individual to
odium or positive injury. In such a case, let
the traducers beware. (Great cheering.) But,
my friends, again, the doings of your conven
tion have raised a clamor in this and other
communities, the amount of which is that you
are about to inaugurate a civil war in the
country. Now, then, we will take care that
there shall be no civil war, (applause,) and we
will take care that the people shall have their
rights. (Great applause.) Who ever heard of
peace measures provoking war and bloodshed?
These men, I fear, are troubled• with distem
pered fancies. They have had so much to do
with blood letting that it seems to have dis
colored everything about them.
If they recall the mission of William Penn
they will be apt to conclude that - peace mea
sures after all are not so very bad. When he
came to the banks of the Delaware it was a wild
country. There be found a warlike tribe who
had been butchering each other, time out of
mind ; scalping each other, knocking out each
other's brains. War to them was a pastime,
and blood the incense of their lives. The story
PRICE TWO CENTS.
is a touching one. A grave man animated by
the true spirit of eibilanthrophy went in among
the red men and talked to them tis a friend.—
He got them together in council; hi breathed
into them something of the divine principle of.
charity that was in him. They listened to him,
as one sent by the Great Spirit, and all at
once, he held them, as it were, in the. hollow of
his hand. Involuntarily they laid down their
arms, they buried the hatchet, and forever
after ceased to make war upon each other.—
But these men have traduced you, your prin
ciples an your intentions, have conveyed th e
idea or sought to convey the idea that if the
Democratic party could get power—as I have
no doubt they are about•to do—(great cheer
ing)—that the laws are to be overturned. Ah;
it is a libel on a great, and numerous, and pa
triotic party. Their history is that of a law
abiding party, as you, gentlemen, both of you
(turning to Mr. Toucey and Mr. Eaton) very
well know. If the old Whig party were in ex
istence they would tell you so. They will do no
thing when in power, either to grieve the living
or sully the memory of the dead. Let our doh
servative fellow-citizens, men of property, give
no heed to rumors and declarations of this sort,
but believe that in the event of any such tri
umph of the party to which I refer, the laws
will be maintained, and that equal and exact
justice will be meted out to men of all parties,
and sects, and persuasions. (Great applause.)
Another thing. They talk to us of govern
ment. They say you must support the gov
ernment. Sir, I understand perfectly well
what is meant by this cry, " support' the gov
ernment." It means, if it means anything at
all, that we are to support this administration
right or wrong; and that I do not intend to do.
(Great cheering.) I can see when we can
make a distinction between What is called the
government and what is done outside of the
government. There are several kinds of
Constitution. There is that of the Sultan of
Turkey, a government , of the one man power.
He may send his mutes with the bow-string to
throttle those whom he fears •or hates, or he
may tie up his women in sacks and throw them
into the Bosphorus. There are other govern
ments where men in power act independent of
any law except the law of their own breath,
and a higher law, which is not known to patri
ots. Then there is the constitutional form of
government, under which I was born, which I
have supported, and under which, when my
time comes, I would wish to die. (Applause.)
Now, although the Sultan of Turkey may do
what he pleases without being called to ac
count for it, there is no snob immunity for a
ruler under a republican form of government.
Whatever is done in accordance with the Con
stitution of the United Statee, is the govern
ment and a portion of our national life, and
whatever is . done contrary to that Constitution
is no government at all, such as our fathers
established, but a wicked usurpation. (Cheers.)
Where are we at the present day? All the
most valuable rights of the citizen, those es
pecially that are set forth in the twelve amend
ments of the Constitution, have been swept
away by the men in power, and to-day—l la
ment to be obliged to say it—to-day we are
living under a different form of government
than that which our fathers founded and sealed
with their blood. Our remedy for present.
abuses is not in revolutionary proceedings,
tut in the exercise• of the right of ballot of
of which I have just, spoken.
Now, gentlemen, I see around me quite a
number of naturalized citizens, and I wish to
say a few words to them. Me time has come
when we may speak plainly to each other. I
ask you, my friends, what induced you to come
to this country? ("To escape tyranny.")—
Don't think me impertinent for asking the
question and giving you the answer to it my
self. Why did you leave the Rhine and the
Rhone and the borders of Lake Geneva ? Why
did you leave Neufchatel and Constance ? Why
did youleave the Elbe and the Scheldt and the
Hague? Why did you leave sunny Italy, the
scene of civil war for more than a hundred
years, and why the vine-clad hills of France ?
Why did you leave Caledonia, "stern and wild,"
and sweet lakes that nestle in the bosom of
hills ? Why did you leave Killarney and Kil
kenny. and those consecrated places where
Curran and Grattan thundered against oppres
sion, and where Emmet laid down his life ?
(Applause.) Why did you leave the graves of
your kindred in the Fatherland, "the God's
acre" of Germany, and the churchyards of the
United Kingdom? Why did you leave the his
toric scenes of the old world where the Roman,
the Northman and the blue-eyed Goth have
been, and where they have left the impress of
their moral power, or of brute force—scenes
where I have sometimes stood, as it were, en
tranced till I seemed to be incorporated with
the past, whilst the ages surged by me. Why
did you leave the bright, the beautifur, the
tender, the touching, the sublime—why did
you leave all these for the new world? Better,
perhaps, I have sometimes thought, in these
days of trial, that the good ship in which you
embarked had been stranded on the French,
the German. or the Irish coast, and you plucked
from the remorseless wave—not less cruel and
remorseless than the wrath of man—have re
turned to your native village, there to take up
the burthen of life again—better this than that
you should have come here just .to test the
sweets of liberty and all at once have the cup
dashed from your lips. (Applause.)
And now for my answer. You came here to
get rid of unjust law, of odious taxes "that
take from the mouth of labor the bread which
it has earned," to get rid of large armies and
navies that eat the substance of the people, to
get rid of stamp acts and conscription acts, to
be rid of provost-marshals and game-keepers,
and bumbailiffs, the instruments of the iron
rule. (Great applause.) You came hither to
get rid of a vile system of espionage for which
our language has no name, and to get rid of
the 'passport system that stops you at every
frontier town till your passport can he viaed
and stamped. You came where speech was
free and the press free, where there was trial
by jury, where labor was honored, and man,
the lord of his littlepatch of ground, or, it may
be, of his acres, could take his children in his
arms and thank God that he was born in a land
of freedom. (Great cheering.) This is what
you came for. And you came where civil and
religious liberty had found an asylum and
reared her temples to justice and to the worship
of the living God. But, men of foreign lands,
I you whom I have sometimes welcomed to our
shores, I am bound to tell you that in some
things you have been misled lately, deceived,
beguiled, and cast as it were, into the horrible
pit. In the lota year—a year which, from its
violation of personal rights and disregard of
constitutional obligations, should be stricken
from the calendar—the men in power, disre
garding the rights of the people under the Con
stitution, have struck down in a succession of
outrageous blows many of the rights which you
had acquired here, and the privileges you had
begun to enjoy, and have renewed here in our
country some of the worst features of the rotten
d ynas ties of European and Asiatic countries.
And now, gentlemen, your remedy, is in your
own hands; united together and firm in your
purpose you may recover that which you have
lost, and recover these inestimable privileges
in a constitutional way.

solve which have characterized the true friends
of liberty in all of the world. Your, Ist&
convention was a remarkable one. Every town
in the State was represented. This is some
thing which never occurred before. Nor is the
explanation a difficult one. Every town has
suffered more or less by the war; every town
has seen on the edge of its horizon the shadOw
of some coming despotism ; every town has
given something of the flower of its youth to
the cause—some have returned crippled for
life, others come - back to tell the story of how
they were treated by those who should have
been to them friends and protectors. Every
town is loaded with boxes, in all of them there

desolation, burthen and oppression for the sake
of political Abolitionism. (Applause.) Now,
gentlemen, a word
_or two more and I have
done. What is the mission of the hours It
is to speak out., and speak plainly, and not only
that, but to speak the whole truth ; aadif you
do this you may say that we have gone far
enough in an unprofitable and cruel struggle.
"It is time to sheathe the sword and spare
n;lankind." (Great cheering.) "Already have
our quarrels filled the world with widows and
orphans." But perhaps you say to me—some
of you—we are to gain by this struggle, and
therefore it should go on. Gain what ? If you.
conquer the South you have got to keep an
army th4re to hold them in subjugation, and
impoverish yourselves to pay for it. If you
devastate the South and turn the African loose
you destroy that portion of your country which
was once your best home market and convert
it into a desert.
Is it liberty that you are to gain? Alas, my
friends, you have well-nigh lost your liberties
by permitting the military to override the civil
power. Depend upon it, in such a contest ad.
this at the present time there can be but one
end, and that will be despotism for yourselves
and your children. The only hope is in a re
turn to peaceful counsels, and to secure the
return of those counsels the cry should go
forth, from one end of the land to the-other,
" We have had enough of this death struggle."
But what is to be done, they may say, after
you get a cessation of hostilities ? We cannot,
perhaps, penetrate the future and be able to
see at this moment what can or should be done.
But allay the passions which war engenders,
and we shall be at no loss' to find a way. God
will help us. (Applause.) It is not. by force
of arms that we are to have another Union but
by force of reason. Reason hides itself in
these days, a poor, naked, and shivering thing,
amid the pelting of the storm. Go to your
army and they will tell you they have had
enough of slaughter. Brave men will tell you
this. There has not one battle been fought
since the war begun whether in their favor or
against them, that doubts have arisen in their
minds as to the possibility of conquering the
South. Some of them remember what Chat
ham said of the rebellious colonies. They
could not forget, either, nor should we forget,
that the men on the other aide of the " invidie
ous line" are of our own kindred also, and re
flecting on these things, these men of whom
I am speaking, who are, many of them, looking
to Connecticut and hoping for a Democratic
triumph here (applause)—there men began to
doubt the morale of the w•tr. Is it for freedom,
or is it the work of Cain in a raulltiplied, vast
and fearful form ? The pulpit may pushh it on,
but the words of Christ shall rebuke the pul
pit's thunder—" Blessed are the peace makers,
for they shall be called the children of God."
(Tremendous applause.)
Gentlemen, I congratulate you on this out
pouring of the Democracy of the valley of the
Connecticut, and on the pleasure we have had in
listening to a gentleman who is an honor to our
native State. (Great cheering.) The shafts
of the opposition have been cast against him
in vain, and he stands before us to-night the
true and tried friend of constitutional liberty,
of the Union, and of his country (cheers); and
the speech which he has given us on this oc
casion shall outlive the malice of his detractors
and form a bright chapter in his unsullied his
tory. (Great cheering.) And recalling what
has been said in injury of him and the attacks
which have been made upon our frinda for the
part they have taken in the struggle of the last
few months, and in consideration of the change
in publio opinion that is going on around us, I
call to mind the language of a favorite poet
Though thoughts brood o'er the past, oar eyes
With smiling features glisten ;
For lo our day bursts up the sky,
Lean out your souls and listen.
The world rolls freedom's radiant wave,
And ripens with her sorrow;
Keep heart, who bear the cross today
Shall wear the crown to-morrow.
(Great and contined cheering.)
The chairman then stepped forward with *
very pretty bouquet in his hand received from
two young ladies in the audience—as patriotic
as they were beautiful—and presented it to
Governor Seymour, with the remark:
I am requested by some young ladies in
the house to tender you this boquet in the full
and confident belief that before these flowers
fade you will be elected Governor of Connecti
cut." (Great cheering.)
PATRIOTIC AND Taus—Hon. Amos Kendall
closes a letter to a citizen of Venango county,
who "pitched into" Mr. Kendall's "Bible View'
of Slavery," with 'the following truthful and
patriotic remarks:
"As surely as the current year unfolds its
seasons, so surely will the power of the North
before 1864 pass into the bands of the Demo
cratic party,if that. party be moderate and wise.
Then, and not till then, can the government
be compelled, through peaceful means,to revert
to the Constitution, as well in the prosecution
of the war as in all its other measures, Then,
and not until then, can the Democracy of the
North offer to the people of the South the,
Constitution unimpaired as a substitute for,
and a deliverance from, the miseries they en
dure, and a shield against the calamities they
have reason to fear. Then, and not until then,
can any response be expected in the South to
a pacific demonstration in the North.
That prudence,firmness, moderation and suc
cess in saving our Liberties and our Union may
distinguish and immortalize the Demoeratic
party of 1868, is the earnest hope and prayer
of a Democrat of more than three score years
and ten.
