Those who are subject to conscription, and have not $3OO to purchase exemption, should not forget that one object of the Union League, ss confessed by the Telegraph, is to aid in "en forcing the draft." The men actively engaged in getting up these Leagues are most of them wealthy men, or men in good circumstances. They can purchase exemption, and they will; not one of them will go except, perhaps, as an officer, but they are determined to make all poor men toe the mark. Noble patriots ! aint they? THE CONSCRIPTION LAW.—The policy of the Government is understood to-night, says a Tribune special, to be opposed to the appoint ment of military men to the provost marshal ships under the conscription law. It is thought desireable to avoid even the seeming of the introduction of the army into the execu tion of the law. This is a miserable excuse for excluding the thousands of war-worn soldiers who have earn ed appointments by hard service, and reward ing a set of vagabond, theiving politicians, who have shirked the war and shrieked for Lincoln and plunder. That has been the "policy" of the administration throughout. Soldiers are too honest and honorable for the dirty work required. of Lincoln's provost marshals. The Times are Evil. We have certainly fallen upon strange and evil times when Union Leagues—whose leading spirits justify every unconstitutional act of the President and the Congress, and pursue a policy intended to subvert the Union—are falsely held up as associations for the defence of the Constitution and Constitutional Gov ernment. When men who, like Stevens and Lovejoy, "spit upon the Constitution," and declare that "with their consent the Union shall not be restored," act the part of impos tors, and, under false pretences, seek to win the confidence of the people that they may be tray them, we have reason to tremble with apprehension. When such bodies as the Union Leagues, under oath, add faliehood to hypoc risy and perjury to tresson,- Liberty is in dan ger. Let the note of warning be sounded far and near. Let the whole nation awake to a full realization of the impending destruction. In such a crisis there is but one hope, one refuge—the good sense, the sound patriotism, the firmness of the people. On these alone can we rely. union Feeling.in Georgia. The Southern Union, a paper published in Georgia, has bad the boldness to propose are construction of the Union—whereupon the Atlanta Confederacy, a sheet devoted to the Interests of rebellion, exclaims ! "We advise the editor, Mr. Murray, to go to New England, believing him to be unfriendly to the country in which he lives, and that Mas sachusetts is the only suitable place for him. Be is unworthy of a residence in the Confede racy. The sooner he goes, the better for him. Better leave at once and be consistent, before being invited to go. In Massachusetts he will be welcomed by a great number of eeople of his own way of thinking, and be made a hero -of Be will be feted and feasted, and find out his real consequence. The conservatives' wham he loves, and t • the 'Abend, fists' wham he affects to despise, will do all this for him. There ate fewer Abolitionists in Massachusetts than Ilecentstructionists in Georgia. Massachusetts is the very place for him, far more congenial than any cotton State." We desire particularly to call attention to the expression : " There are fewer Abolition ists in Massachusetts than Reconstructionists in Georgia!" There is ground for hope yet. The time will come when these " reconstruc- Monists," or Southern Union men, can act in concert with the Union men of the North, when the administrations of Jeff. Davis and Abraham Lincoln will both be overthrown, and the pa triotic= and good sense of the country restore the old order of things—the Constitution, the Won, Peace, Prosperity, Law, Order and John Van Buren. An attentive correspondent, whose capacious and well-filled note-book of political reminis cences is promised for our use, calls our atten tion to a jeu d'esprit in regard to John Van Buren, which first appeared in 1850. " Mrs. Jervis' Cough Candy" was all the rage at that time, and the newspapers. teemed with its lau dations. One morning, there appeared in the Albany Express a formal series of communica tions highly commending the candy, addressed to Mrs. Jervis, and each exhibiting in a stri king manner the mental and moral character istics of style of the various distinguished politicians and public men from whom the let ters purported to emanate. The famous ""Re jected Addresses" of the Smiths (the original of the idea) were not more racy, or deeper fraught with genuine humor, than these candy (not candid) epistles. They were attributed at that period to a distinguished member of the Albany bar, who afterwards went to New York to reside. Our correspondent, in reproducing the Van Buren missive at this time, on the heels of the Cooper Institute exhibition, appears to think with us that, while it is plainly the duty of Democrats to yield an earnest support to every proper war measure of the administration, yet any prominent member of our party is sadly out of place in public meetings held and headed by known and noisy Abolitionists, whatever specious name may be given to such meetings. If the people require urging and indoctrina ting upon any subject in such a crisis as the present, the true and honest herald's place is in the front rank of his own party, rather than for a moment consorting with those who, ha ving wrecked the government and ruined the country, sneakingly seek to cower, in their moment of disgrace, behind anything wearing a Democratic semblance. On perusal, our readers will at once see why this Van Buren letter (in spirit it is eminently his) should have recurred to the memory of our correspondent at this time : JAUSICEY COURT, New York, March 2, 1850. MY DEAR Mns. JERVIS : I caught a severe cold . ---also a tartar—by standing too long on the Buffalo platform. I swallowed a whole package of your excellent cold candy, and then the ravenous Old Hunkers swallowed me. Your candy agreed with me, and I agreed with the Old Hunkers, and I have been since dis charged—cured. I cheerfully recommend this candy to all my Free Soil brethren who are exposed to colds and likely to be swallowed by the Old Hunk ers. It will be disagreeable to both parties to have an equivocal cough or "mysterious knock ings" proceeding from one who has thus "pen etrated the interior," and to hear the Whigs at the same time, in derision, singing that old song— "What Nss caused this great commotion? VAN—VAN—you're a swallowed man !" Truly yours,' Joatt VAN BuREN. Foreign News. The latest foreign news by the Australia indicates trouble growing out of the Polish question. Neither France nor England is satisfied with the attitude of Prussia. The Poles have gained some successes, but, left to themselves, there is no hope of their success. The French Government has received embar rassing news from Mexico. Gen. Forey asks large reinforcements in Mexico, without which he despairs of taking either Puebla or the city of Mexico. The Confederate State loan has all been freely taken in the Continental mar ket. Secretary Seward's rejection of Napo leon's mediation proposition is attracting attention in England. The London Times says if Secretary Seward is not pertinaciously right he is comprehen sively wrong; and, after criticising and dis senting from his view of affairs, says that he is at least consistent with all that he has writ ten from the commencement; but whether he is consistent with facts, the Times would prefer to leave events to decide. The Morning Post is very bitter, and looks upon the letter as mere buncombe; but, ema nating as it does from the Washington Cabinet., says it is truly incredible that body should have sunk so low as to indorse so much'arrant falsehood and absurd nonsense. The Star praises the dispatch, and thinks it unanswerable, and shows that henceforth not even the mildest form of interference can have the least hope of acceptance. There is no interest which does not involve life, liberty or country in which the people have a deeper concern than the financial in terest. Mr. Rex, of Montgomery, made a speech in the House of Representatives, some days ago, on that subject, in which the pro prietor of the Telegraph figures quite as con spicuously as he does at the Union League gatherings ; and, as he is known to court noto riety and is ambitious to parade his name be fore the public, we confess to some surprise that this speech of Mr. Rex has not been transferred to his columns. Presuming that the omission is altogether the result of over-_ sight, we beg leave to call his attention to the subject, and suggest that it have place, in its proper order, among the other "important, terse, and business like" speeches which seem, of late, to form the staple of the Telegraph's outside matter. The proprietor cannot hope to ever enjoy a cheaper introduction to his patrons who, we have no doubt, would be grati fied with the opportunity of becoming better acquainted with so disinterested and distin guished a patriot, through the antecedents of his brief but brilliant career, which Mr. hex has so generously collected from official docu ments and published for general information and benefit. The Mayoralty. The contest for the nomination for the may oralty on Saturday resulted in the choice of Gen. A. L. Roumfort. With such a candidate the Democratic party will go into the municipal election on Friday under peculiarly favorable auspices. We are assured that the unanimity which characterized the preliminary election, the remarkably good choice of candidates, will swell our hitherto large majorities in this city in proportion to the increase elsewhere seen and felt throughout the country. It is incumbent now upon every Democrat in the city to lead a hand to secure a complete triumph in the coming election. The result will establish a precedent for the general con test, and the certain victory of the party in the State next Pall. The Eagle woolen mills at Boston wero de stroyed by fire on Friday. •LOU $30,000 insured for. $16,000. General News The following is the latest by telegraph Special dispatches from Memphis, dated 'the 11th, say that Gen. Quimby's division, which was forced to return from Young's Point on account of the high water, stopped at Yazoo Pass, and has probably gone to reinforce the expedition said to have passed Yazoo City and captured the rebel fleet of transports which have, for a long time, been rendezvousing there. The N. Y. Express of Saturday states that Secretary Chase was offered, on that day, a loan of $100,000,000 in gold, by European par ties, which, at the current rates of exchange, would be equivalent to par there. Judge Constable, of the Fourth Judicial Cir cuit Court, of Illinois, has been arrested by order of General Wright, for resisting the ar rest of deserters. He will be tried by the U. S. Court at Indianapolis. Several trunks have been captured near Bal town with about a ton of rebel uniforms and buttons en route for Dixie, manufactured in New York. Secretary Seward is to give a diplomatic dinner to Romaine, the negro charge de 'Af fairs from Hayti, on Tuesday next. The trepidation consequent upon this novel affair— we presume at least it was this—caused the Secretary to drop his razor while in the act of shaving, in grasping for which be so badly cut his dexter hand that be will probably re quire an amanuensis to fill up the cards of invitation to the dinner. A plague on all ne groes, say we. They are giving us n deal of trouble. It is reported that there has been a draft upon The Army of the Potomac to reinforce Gen. Rosecrans. The Pittsburg Gazette says that one regiment was to pass through that city on Thursday last, and that two others would ,immediately follow—one on Friday and another on Saturday night. There is proba bly some truth in the rumor that the Confede rates are organizing two powerful armies in Tennessee, one to hold Rosecrans in check, and the other to invade Kentucky. Gen. Hooker, who was recently before the War Committee, when asked his opinion as to the cause of the failure of the Peninsular Cam paign, replied with characteristic arrogance : As I am on oath I must answer the question. The failure of that movement was owing to the incompetency of the commanding general." On this subject the General has the misfortune to differ with Prince de Joinville, all the for eign officers, all the native officers of merit and distinction and with the whole army. As we are not on oath we take the liberty of pronouncing him a base calumniator, unworthy the com mission he holds. .The Cincinnati Commercial is resposible for the following rumors : That the rebels have taken forts Donelson and Henry. That two immense rebel armies are massed in Tennessee—one to hold itosecrans in check, while the other flanks him, enters Kentucky and moves direct on Louisville and Cincinnati. That a fleet of iron-clads will be ready in foreign ports this month with which the rebels propose to clear the Mississippi and co-operate with the movement in Kentucky. All of which is communicated by a gentle men who left Savannah on the 20th February and arrived in Cinciniati on the 12th inst.— Forewarned the administration ought to be forearmed. TIM YAZOO . PASS EXPEDITION.-A corres pondent of the Missouri Democrat, referring to the operations in clearing out the obstructions between Moon Lake and Cold Water river, to allow an expedition to pass down to the rear of Vicksburg, says:— At the end of two weeks the pass was de clared navigable, and boats passed through into the Cold Water. The way once open, an expedition was organized under command of Brigadier General Leonard F. Ross. Of the size and strength of the expedition it would be , perhaps unwise to speak, particularly at present. Suffice it to say, therefore, that it is an expedition well organized and appointed and under the right man, hc.ving an extensive field of operation and a large margin for con tingencies and possibilities. We have plenty of gunboats, most of them of the "mosquito" class. Our transports are sufficient for the wants of the troops, and the largest that can be got through the pass.— Most of them are stern-wheelers, and indeed, the whole expedition is on the "mosquito" order, intended to annoy and aggravate the enemy in a tender spot. On the evening of Feburary 24th, the expedi tion moved from Helena, and before dark it had successfully crossed Moon Lake and come to anchor at the mouth of the Pass. On the 26th, all tieing in readiness, we steamed into the Pa where we have been pushing along most energetically ever since.— This is the end of the fourth day, and we are yet more than four miles from Cold Water river. This is the expedition of which we published the report in Saturday's PATRIOT AND UNION, that it had been successful, and captured 7,000 prisoners and eight transports. There has been no confirmation of the report since. WHAT TO HE THANKFUL roa.—The Chicago Foal enumerates the following reasons why we should give thanks this year: I. Because the air we breathe is still free, and not taxed for internal revenue. 11. Because Greeley's 900,000 men are still liable to be drafted. 111. Because one rebel isn't equal to five Yankees. IV. Because, notwithstanding the Presi dent's bull against the comet, the comet hasn't yet projected any horned quadruped against the President. V. Because greenbacks are not worth less than fifty cents on the dollar. VI. Because printing paper isn't half a dol lar a pound. VII. Because the rebel army is hemmed in between the Atlantic and Pacific oceans, and has no other alternative but to fight or not to fight. VIII. Because the rebels still protest their intention to "die in the last ditch," (gi v i ng ground for a suspicion that they expect to die some time or other.) IX. Because the radicals have not yet pre vailed upon the President to turn -the moon into a green cheese by proclamation. X. Because "Washington is safe." A world's exhibition of dogs is to be held in Paris ,in May next, open to all comers. If the rebellion is suppressed before that time, Amer ica can make a very i respeotable show of "dogs of war."—.Preas Piokles suggests that the "President's dog, Forney" be sent over by his keepers and placed, on exhibition as a mature, full grown, per fect erosa-bred apeeimen of the "dog that bit the haud that fed him,"and "the meanest whelp' &het ever gnawed a bone.".— radicle Democrat. WDAT SHOULD BE DOW • The New'Yerk Herald playa "the President is now a temporary Dictator ;" tells the Express, World, and Journal of Commerce that "it is in vain to rant and rave against the laws of Con gress," and asks them to tell "plainly what they mean, and what they wish," &c. To this the Express replies: We would "mean," if our meaning could be statute law : lst. Under State law, according to the State Constitutions, and all the precedents under the Federal Constitution, to train and have ready the militia of the great Central States of New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indi ana and Illinois, which the Conscription bill hag purposely avoided doing for party purpo ses, only because those States are Democratic. No Democrat doubts—nay, every one urges —that the militia of the States should be armed and trained and officered and ready for mili tary duty; but the Federal Conscription bill steps in and stops or destroys all that— let. In enrolling, under Federal- provost marshals, all citizens from 20 to 45. 2d. In organizing them, subject to a two years' draft, to continue them, if drafted, in the war for three years. 3d. In its 24th and 25th sections, vesting the proVost marshals with the power of sum mary arrests, and very extraordinary powers of punishment. 4th. In its 34th section, enabling the provost marshals, acting under the President's orders, to send off any conscript, if he be Democratic, to the swamps of Florida or Louisiana—but if he be Republican, to perform garrison duty on our sea coast, or to perform provost marshal's duty at home—a policeman, merely, over his fellow Democratic men. All such powers are not only the powers of a dictator, but of a despot. The State militia laws are all upset. The State is left no men to organize and train. The State Governors, State Major Generals and Brigadiers are all ignored by the Conscription act. The citizen, as a citizen of New York, New Jersey, or Ohio, ceases to exist, and becomes a subject of the President or his marshal under his order to go just where, and into what company, that Pre sident or marshal pleases. Then the President has, in the "Indemnity act"— Ist. The power of suspending the habeas corpus, when and where he pleases, in States not "in insurrection" or "rebellion," as well as in rebellion. 2d. In that act, the fourth section, the power of delegating "arbitrary arrests" to anybody he pleases—a constable anywhere, or policemen, or an Abolition neighbor, or negro, if he pleases—and this " order" front the Pre sident is sufficient defence, in any court, by special plea, or under general issue. Now, all this is not only dictatorship, but despotism. The question is, will the Central States in cluding Connecticut, soon to join the Demo cratic ranks, with their Governors, and State organizations, submit thus to see the States nullified and abrogated, and the right of man thus utterly trodden under foot. Will they submit to the odious discrimination of the Con scription law— $3OO to buy off rich men, and poverty alone to be subjected to the conserip lion? We shall not answer this question, but leave every man of good judgment, to answer for himself. We think that Governor Seymour, of New York, Governor Parker, of New Jersey, and the to be elected Democratic Governor of Con necticut, should make cases of this Conscription act for the courts to act upon. and if the courts decide this NULLIFICATION of States, State laws, and State Constitutions, as well as of the Fed eral Constitution, to be law, beyond all ques tion, they, and their people, will submit to tho courts. But, meanwhile, as the country may not be able to wait for trial by courts, we earnestly advise. let. Governor Seymour, of New York, to send a message to the Legislature, submitting his views to that body, and asking of President Lincolon, to make a ease for the courts—mean while New York, organizing, arming and dril ling her militia, to be subject to Federal call, under the Constitution of the United States. 2d. And at the same time, we think, Gov. Parker, of New Jersey, ought to do tae like. The Legislatures of Delaware, Maryland, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana and Illinois, ought also forthwith to train their militia. There is no safety from invasion or civil war, now, even among ourselves, but in a trained militia, un der State authority. We hope and trust now, hat in good faith —we have answered the Herald'sH question.— We do not propose, we will add, to take one step without law, or contrary to law. The violation of law in times .of excitement is a horrible crime, for it leads to reprisals, arson, assassinations, revenge. The State courts, and the Federal courts, are ample for all of our protection. The courts of the free States are all loyal and sound. Even the Republican Judges of Vi'isoonsin. we have seen, declared that President Lincoln violated the Constitu tion in suspending, of himself, the writ of habeas corpus. Stand by the Iaw—STAND BY THE LAW-WO repeat and re-repeat. The laW is ample for the protection of every man's rights. THE GOVERNOR QUESTION. The West Chester Jefferaonian, in the follow ing article, introduces Nimrod Strickland, Esq., of Chester county, "as a fit person" to fill the Gubernatorial office: This subject is beginning to excite consider able interest in the Democracy of the Com monwealth, and yet, with few exceptions, the press has been remarkably silent and reserved as to its predilections. But the inquiry every day is made, Who shall be our candidate ? One sentiment is almost universal. The candidate should be a man of undoubted integrity and talents, firm and unshaken in his principles, and possessed of moral courage equal to any emergency involving the rights of the people or the interests of the State. There has been no period in the history of the Commonwealth when this opinion has been more generally re cognized than at this time. We present the name of our townsman, Nim rod Strickland, as a fit person to fill this office. This Suggestion is made against what we have known for some time to be his inclination, but it is not made without reflection and due con sideration on our part, for we have been ad dressed in reference to Judge Strickland by prominent and discreet Democrats from differ ent parts of the State, and the subjoined gem mimic:ldea, from an influential Philadelphia Democrat, we cannot withhold from the public. The friends of Judge Strickland will make no contest, nor adopt any measures to effect his nomination, except that of laying his name before the people, and asking that his charac ter, his talents and his capacity should be tho roughly examined and fairly considered. In him the Democracy have a man who has been tried and not found wanting ; who in all the contests for the last thirty years, whether against Anti-Masonry, Know-Nothingista or sectional Abolitionism, has never faltered or wavered. If he should be nominated and elec ted, we firmly believe that the people will never have reason to regret the result. PHILADELPHIA, March 10, 1863. MR. Houuson looking over the list of gentlemen who have been publicly mentioned in connection with the Democratic nomination for next Governor, I think, and many Demo crats here concur with me, that the right man for the State, the people and the party, in this hour, has not yet been brought forward. The candidate should be a man of the old Snyder and Shrank pattern, who is both honest and capable, and of sound political principles--a man of undoubted firmness, integrity and pa. triotism, who could not be intimidated from the right, by power, or seduced into error by Corruption; a man whose character, personal and political, public and private, is well estab• lished and constitutes a guarantee that he would be true to the people, their interests and their constitutional rights, under all circum stances_ Such a man Judge STRICKLAND, of your county, is known to be, and there is every reason to believe that while his nomination could not prove justly objectionable to the friends of any candidate, it would be rqceived, throughout the State, with cordial satisfaction by all honest men and true friends of the Constitution as it is and the Union as it was." I have thus written without knowing what may be the Judge's inclination in the matter, and I trust that whatever it may be, his name may at once go forth for the consideration of the Democracy of the State. Yours, etc., PHILADELPHIA From the Blairsville Record. THAT, AND SOMETHING MORE.-.-In the recent Democratic Conventions of Bedford and Cum berland counties, the following Resolution, with others. was unanimously adopted: "Resolved, That our delegate (to the nest Democratic State Convention) be and be is here by instructed not to vote for any man for Gov ernor who has not publicly declared himself, or will not publicly declare himself, opposed to the Emancipation Proclamation, and to Abolition in any and every:form, and who will not avow himself in opposition to all the un constitutional acts of the present Federal ad ministration, and who will not declareihimself publicly and unreservedly to be in favor of maintaining the State rights of Pennsylvania, in the same manner as the recently elected Governors of New York and New Jersey have done." Rhat is all very well; we are for it; but something more must be required in the nest Democratic candidate for Governor. The man must have a well established character for personal and political integrity. He must be sound and reliable, on the great doctrines of the Constitutionland State Rights, as avowed and understood by the Fathers and the true men of '9B and 1800; and his known character as an honest and pure man, must be such as will be an assurance to the tax, payers, that the Commonwealth and her interests will be safe in his care, and that shoddy speculators and all other plunderers will have in him a firm and uncompromising enemy. If the State is to.zbe robbed, the soldiers wronged, and theiving politicians favored, better, far better, let that work be continued under Gov ernor Curtin, than that the Democracy should risk disgrace to themselves, and wrong to the State, by putting a man of doubtful or easy virtue in his place. No, no, Curtin, will, in all probability, be the Abolition Republican candi date. There is not virtue enough in that party to reject him. It thus becomes a matter of the highest importance that the Democratic nominee shall be not only right, politically, but, as a man, unmistakably honest. We are, therefore, most decidedly for the Bedford resolution, and something more. A FORTUNATE tPECULATION.—Nor° Wester, the New York correspondent of the Boston Post, relates the following incident of one of the for tunate speculations of the day: In the summer of 1861, a young man who happened to have $lO,OOO burning in his pock et, but whose fears counseled him to keep out of the usual channels of trade, called on one of our heavy shipping merchants, who is also president of a city bank, and asked his advice as to how to use his money. The merchant suggested his investing in a purchase of tar, the article at that time selling at only one dol lar a barrel, with every prospect of soon being on the advance. The young man took the ad• vice, bought ten thousand barrels of tar, and stored it away for a rise. After keeping it until last Fall, he concluded to realize on his investment, and sold it out at $4O a barrel, or forty times its original cost, receiving his or iginal capital of $lO,OOO and the slight accu mulation of $390,000 as the dividend thereon. ONE OT THE characteristics of the soirees at the Tuilleries is the injunction laid upon all men by the Empress to dance the cotillion. Neither age nor profession are exempt. The Emperor laughs heartily at his own and others' awk • wardness, but accepts the obligation with good humor. The new figure—introduced last time only—was called " The Mule of Arragon," and consists in the endeavor to hook the little bell with which each dancer is armed to the dress of the leader; the effect of the jingling and the excitement of the pursuit make this one of the prettiest figures yet invented.
