WHIN SUBSCRIBED FOR IN CLUBS OP NOT LESS THAN TEN COPIES TO ONE ADDRESS! We have been compelled to raise the club subscription price to one dollar and fifty cents in order to save our selves from actual less. Paper has risen, including taxer, about .twenty-five per cent.; sad is still rising; and when we tell our Democratic Men* candidly, that we can no longer afford to sell the Weekly Persica AND UNION at one dollar a year, and must add fifty cents or stop the publication, we trust they will appreciate oar position, and, instead of ,withdrawing their eubscrip 'llona, go to work with a will to increase our list in every county in the fitate. 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 azurionsdesire to pro mote its interests, with some experience and &moderate d e gree of ability, can be made serviceable hereafter, the Weekly Parnfor mue Union will not be less useful to. the party or less welcome to the family circle in the fu turi 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 sapscription 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 them for assistance with the fullest con& deuce of success. The same reasons which induise us to . raiiis the /prise of the Weekly, operate in regard to the Daflypaper, the price of which is also Increased. Theadditional .netts each subscriber will be but trifling; and, while we can not persuade ourselves that the abange necessarilymade will result in any diminution of, our daily circulation,. yet, were we certain . that such would be the cons. queues, we should still be compelled to make it, or' sut fer a ruinous loss. ' 'Under these circumstances we must throw ourselves upon the 'generosity, or,' rather, the• justice of the public, arid abide their verdict, whitever it may be. The period for which many of our imbeeribere have . paid for their, paper being on the ere of, expiring, we take the liberty of huming Wit notice, reminding them of the mine, in order that they may RENEW THEIR CLUB'S. We shall also take It as an especial favor if our present subscribers will urge upon their neighbor/4h, fact that the PATRIOT AND UNION is the only pemseratio paper printed in Harrisburg, and considerinthe large amount of reading matter, embracing all the current news of the day, and TELEGRAPHIC DISrATCHREI Prom everywhere up to the moment the paper gam to ;mesa, political, miscellaneous, general and local news market reports, is decidedly the CHEAPEST NEWSPAPER. PIIBMSHID IN THE STATE! 4 There is scarcely a Things or town in the State in which a club carnet be raised if the proper/exertion be made, and surely there are few places in which one or more energetic men cannot be found who are in favor of the dissemination'of sound Deuwaratie doctrines, who would be willing to make the effort to raise a club.

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 (Nos Little, Brews ¢ Co.'s edition of . thtlsws of 1860, yeyis 38:chairef1.71, mai, 1.) "Provided; however, ihat where paokages of newer... perm or periodicals are received at any post office directed ,to ono address, and the names of the club enbooribere to which they belong, with the palliest. fee a quarter In ad. ranee, shall be handed to the postmaster, he shall de liver the same to their respective owners." To enable the Postmaster to comply with this reggae- tion, it will be necessary that he be furnished with the list of Mum composing the club,. and paid a qnsrter% (or year's) postage in advance. The uniform courtesy. of Postmasters, affords the assurance that they will eheerfullyaccoMmodate club subscvlbers, and the latter should take care that the postage, which is but a trifle In each case, bepaid in advance.

WEDNESDAY MORNING, MARCH 18. 1868 TRAITORS AND SPIES. wfhen yen and I and all of us fen down, And bloody Treason aouriabed over ua." Ever singe the commencement of the civil war, it has been evident that treason occupied high positions under the administration—nay, the very household of the head of the adMin- Istration hail been stiepected ; and Senators of radjeal Abolition proclivities, and military of ficers, froth the rank of Generals down, go veransent contractors, surgeons and sutlers and elerks in the departments, have each, in turn, at various times, been charged with treasons.. ble correspondence With the rebels, through which plans and movements of the army and navy of the greatest importance were commu nicated to the enemy. We have many times been startled by Surmises and dark insinua tions, implicating by innuendo poisons of afid- Unction in civil and military life—but .newer have we been so positively abashed as by the latest revelation, contained in the columns of the New York* Tribune, and the fall, absolute confirmation of it by the Philadelphia Sunday '! Transaripe. We give the revelation and con firmation as they appear in the Tribune and the Transcript, without knowing precisely what Ise think of 'them • Arms the New Totik Tribune: Gone. NINTT AND M'CLuLLAN.—A, Philadel phia correspondent furnishes the following. ex ' planation of General M'Clellan'e failures 4 to. report to General Scott when the latter was active superior, and of the silence of General , Scott in view of the recent publiettion of his. official letter of complaint against Gen. MTh& lan. We do not know that this explanation, is correct, and we publish it Only to elicit far ther elucidations, which the matter eminently requires. Gan it be true that our gel/amazon. allowed a detected traitor—one who had be trayed a position of the very,.highest trust— to be placed on the retired list, and to go. to Europe on pay as still an officer ed our army I*. If it did, who can wonder that, treason is rife in our !service, and that gunboats did ships of •war are betrayed into the hinds of our enemies?' We give the following from our correspondent lo tat Naito, of MIN. Y. Tribune : Sin: Many persons are disappointed in ; learning that Gen. Scott will net publish am eaplahation of his complaints against General *Mellen be the Secretary If War, which was, by the call of Mr. Stevens of Pa., on the Sec retary of War, published and readin the House of Itepresentativen.• ,Many ask why was the letter called for. There was discussiois on the settee, and they ask what it was intended to show by it. Thereby hangs a tale. General Scott's position is a very delicate one ;. some people do suspect the General's Union senti ments to lean toward the "wayward• sisters;" but no matter about that: Gem Scott writes to thetecreprY of War,complaining of MoCiel, lan's indifference or fiegleet of him for not re porting his,plans or consulting him about the disposition of his forces. This occurred some time after it had been disoovered by General McClellan that Gen. Scott's office was not the safest place for him to expose his plans or make known what bewail doing. It is known that Gen. -McClellan's planshad been. several times in a very mysterious way made known to the rebels almost 'as quickly as they were' made known to our commanders in the field.— Gen. McClellan found out the individual; it was General Scott's son-in-law, Henry L. Scott, who was with General Scott,in Washington, as an Inspector-General with the rank, pay, km., of a Colonel of Cavalry. General McClellan went to the President about the extraordinary denouement, and Colonel Scott and Adjt. Gen. Themes, who was also suspected of treachery, were summoned to the White House to be mps fronted on the charge. Colonel Scott confes sed his guilt !• What was done ? Why, Col. Scott, instead of being shot for his treason, was allowed to be placed on the retired list for life, and to repeive the pay and emoluments of a Lieutenant-Colonel of Cavalry t He imme diately went to Europe, where he is doing all he. can for secession ! General Scott will not publish anything. He knows the reason why General McClellan did not report his plans to him, and General Scott will not stir up a mat that would be of no advantage to one of his family, who is a traitor living upon a govern ment which he basely betrays. SMITH. Upon this the Transcript temarks: The enemies of General M'Clellan made a great fuss over the production of Gen. Scott's letter to the War Department, complaining of the failure of the former to report to the late Commander-in-Chief his plans and movements. The New York Tribune, on Thursday, however, explains the mystery through a correspondent. [Here follows the "Smith" communication.] This appears (continues the Transcript) to have stunned even Greeley, who asks--" Can it be true that our Government allowed a de tected traitor—one who had betrayed a posi tion of the very highest trust—to be placed on the retired list, and to go to Europe on pay as still an officer of our army? If it did," con ` tinues Greeley in Me comments, "who can wonder that treason is rife in our service, and that gunboats and ships-of-war are betrayed into the hands of our enemies ?" The Tribune can rest easy. AU this is true, and there is not: a man 'of the administration, from the President down to Stanton, who does not know that after the first failure to capture Munson's Hill (where the enemy were in supe rior force ready to meet WI when Gen. M'Clel lan advanced) Colonel Scott was known to have given the information of the intended advance to the rebels—that General Scott resigned for . this reason immediately afterwards, and that General Scott accompanied his nephew and son-in-law to Europe to cover up his awful crime. It is a sad thing to tell truths so terrible in all their details, bat the hour has come when silence is criminal. Gelter.ai M'Clellan has been branded as a traitor—he has been de nounced as a "bastard"—the grave of his re vered father and the reputation of his well • beloved mother have been beslimed by foul and unmanly slanders, and now the truth meat out. Though his heart has been made to bleed by these gross and malignant assaults on the living and the dead, Gen. M'Clellan has re frained from offering one word in his own de fense or in defense of those who are enshrined in his great and noble heart. Time has ever made him even with hie enemies, and ere long his complete vindication will come as assu redly as God's eternal justice. • The Albany Evening Journal (Abolition) says : No government was ever more beset by secret enemies. The Oapitalswarmed With spies. The Departments reeked with disloyalty. The emis saries of treason lurked in every nook and oor- PRICE TWO CENTS. ner of the Capitol buildings. They even-pene trated into the sanctum madonna of COinet councils and invaded the privacy etas Execu tive Chamber itself. This is a terrible picture of dePiavity—' pictire drawn, too, by the politicalirtends df an administration who demand of DemonUts "unquestioning support" and "unoonditional loyalty" to it. Can this be yielded while the taint of treason, or complicity with treason, _ rests upon the President, his household, and his confidential officers ? We think not ! We close with the following remarks from the Al bany Argus : We do not like to bear the 'barges of treason lightly made against American citizens. When we look bark at the list of then aoonsed, we. are honified at the extent of -tye it fa tai, if the charges are at all true. Mr. =Bumper's Bosun organ the Conesonweaith, charges dis tinct acts of complicity with the Southern traitor's upon Secretary Seward. • GurowskiTs Diary, Wilkes' Spirit, and many of the radical press, unite in the same charge. They point to the dispatch which hesent through Harvey, (afterwards rewarded with the Portugese eon) to the Charleston insurgents, and which was the signal of attack upon POrt Sumpter.— General lifillowell was charged with a trea sonable betrayal of his , command, and thin charge wattreitmeted wits his dying breath, by one of our colonels, fallen in battle. General Stone was chard with secret cor respondents) with the enemy, and hurried off tp a military fortress and confined for months. Adjutant General Thomas, Commissary Gene ral Meige, aid others in the bureaux at Wash ington, have continually, been railed against as in secret sympathy with the lbw Gen. Harney wee refused a command owing to an interested clamor of this kind against him. M'Clellan and Buell were accused of coldness in the cause, and Fite Jbhzi Porter of even worse; and Sumner and Franklin have been retired upon indefinite grounds. • The accusation of betraying our military secrets to the enemy has embraced the Presi dent himself ; and his wife has freqaently been pointed out by scandal mongering reporters as the source of secret information to the rebels. Other ladies of the Presidential oirole have been accused of Shutt espionage for the benefit of the enemy. Therli. Y. Tribune. in a recent letter, distinctly &ceases Col Scott (eon -in-law of lieut. Gen. Scott) of betraying the move ments of the army to the Confederate Generals, and its accusation, if true, dishonors the old General and the President in hardly a lees de-, groe. • We are not ready to believe these accusations of treachery. There has never been an in vestigation into any of , those charges, except that which fpen. McDowell, invited,. in his own case ; and in that instance they were all die proved. The accusations have come froin\.a 101 - class of men in Washington who have united the business of correspondents' of the press with that of lobbiers for contracts and ,jobs. There was nothing so revolting to their base natures in the elect of spies and traitors, , as to make the imputation at all ineredible as to others. We shall regard this imputation upon the President and Lieet. Gen. Scott, aaddeoretary Cameron, (who ia suspected of being the Tri bune.: revealing witness,) as well as upon Col. Scott—unless proved—us but one of many gratuitous dishenors upon the country, on the part of the radical press. PENNA LEGISLATURE. SENATE. Tunerter,-Maroh 17,1863.

"BOWIE-KNIVES AND REVOLVERS I'"-.The people of western Virginia; opposedlo the abolition new State movement some time since called a convention at Parkersburg to meet on the 12th inst. ."Freedon shriekere" of ,that place held a meeting, declaring their intention ,to suppress the meeting, and to prevent free dis cussion upon the new State question—to sus tain which determination they pledged their "lives and sacred honors." The Wheeling Press in noticing this meeting says: The proper reply to the proceedings of last Saturday's gathering will be an increased at tendance attParkersburg on Thursday nest by those desiring to exercise the right of free. dis cussion. Beery man should go armed with bowie knife and revolver and plenty of ammunition, and ready to deal convincing 'arguments upon any of the Apostles of "Free Speech" who may annual the overt act of lawlessly meddling with sacred aiding. defeaeible rights. It is perfectly useless to meet such threats as Abolitionists Wife begun to make by word , of mouth, by pen or types; the stern purpose nerving the freeman's right arm to protect, preserve and defend the Constitution and the privileges it guarantees, is the ,only remedy that is any longer worth a pinch of snuff. The mere question of New State or no New State drops into utter insignificance by the side of this new question of the right of free dims— sion. This is a staAling appeal, yet who can say it is not right. IE the election in Virginia it to be the real expression of popular sentiment —a test of the will of the people- r anm, the defence of free discussion; even if blood should be spilt, is right. We presume if civil •war 'Mould be inaugurated by this attempt of Aboli tioniotS to crush out "free speech" the traitor abolition prints will claim that•the real friend of free speech "fired the first gun :" Of course. they ilk ilL—Washingttm (Pa.)
