We have been compelled to raise the clib trdellfription
price to one dellar and fifty cents in order to Aare our
selves from' actual loss. Paper has risen, including
taxes, 'about twenty-live per cent., and is still rising;
and when we tell our Democratic friends, candidly, that
WO can no longer Rand to sell the Weekly PATRIOT AND
UNION at one dollar a year, and must add fifty cents or
atop the publication, we trust they will appreciate oar
petition, and, instead of withdrawing their subscrip
tione,,go to work with a will to increase our list in every
county in the State. We hive 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 anxiousdeaire to pro
mote its interests, with come experience and a moderate
de gr ee of ability , can be made serviceable hereafter, the
Weekly PATRIOT AND UNION will not be less useful to
the party or lees 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 sapseription 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 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
pries of which is also increased. The additional emit to
each subscriber 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 eertalu that such would be the woe
queues, we should still be compelled to make it, or old
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 BAY be;
The period for which many of our 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 shall 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

N. B.—The following law, passed by Congress in-1860,
defines the duty of Pootmeatere in relation to the de
livery of newspapers to club subscribers :
(See Little, Brown , * Co.'s edition of the Latrs of 1860,
page 36; chapter 131, sealant 1.)
"Provided, however, that where packages of newspa
Pere or periodicals are received at any post once directed
to one address, and the names of the club subscribers to
which they belong, with the postage for a quarter in ad
vance, shall be handed to the postmaster, he shall de
liver the same to their respective owners."
To suable 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

REMARKS
HON. WILLIAM. A. WALLACE,
OF OLEABZIMILD,
IN THE &NATE OF PSFASYLVAIILI,
Alareh 6th, 1863,
On the amendment, inviting GeneralOleilsm to visit
the Capital, to the Joint ResolOnnitendering the nee
ofibeltenate Chamber to ix:figrOmMre Johnson and
Wright. "."'
MIL SPEAKER : I have listened with great
interest to the denunciations, epithets and in
vective that have fallen upon us from Senators
upon the other side of this chamber. The
crime (if such it be) of being a Democrat, I
shall neither attempt to palliate nor deny. In
saying that I am a Democrat, I take to myself
no feeling of shame, but rather feel a thrill of
pride and of glory. lam proud to be an hum
ble member of that noble party that for three
fourths of eighty years has conducted this
Government, that from a few feeble colonies
elevated her to be a great and mighty nation,
whose commerce whitened every sea beneath
the azure vault of heaven ; the "broad stripes
and bright stars" of whose national ensign
fluttered in the breezes of every clime in the
known world. Sir, I take to—myself no thrill
of shame that lam a Demoorat. I glory in the
name in the past ;I am proud of it the pre
sent; and ,in it I yet see hope in the future.
And when invective, denunciation and bitter
words are thrown upon me here, I hurl them
back defiantly, in the teeth of Senators upon
this floor. Sir, we are as loyal to this govern
ment as any Senators are; we have sustained
and will sustain the Governmerit and the Con
stitution. The people are the sovereigns of
this Republic. lam one of the people ; and,
es such, I, the humblest equally with the lofti
est, have the right to demand that my rulers
shall not be my tyrants. By virtue of law, the
sovereign people have chosen their public, ser
vants and placed them in high places to admin
ister the government according to law. They
demand that their rulers shall obey the law.
They have a written Constitution, on the broad
Pedestal of which the rights of personal liberty,
freedom of speed' and freedom of the press are
plainly graven. They demand the inestimable
privilege of the uncontrolled exercise of all
these rights, subject only to the penalty the
law hath affixed for their abuse. When the
ruler—our servant—demand of us obedience
to the law, it is our duty to yield it, and it is
our right to demand at his hands implicit obe
dience to the law which he has sworn to sup
port.
Sir, let us come directly to the question at
issue. This resolution tenders to Andrew
Johnson, of Tennessee, and Joseph E. Wright,
of Indiana, the use of this Hall; the amend
ment of the Senator from Clarion extends the
same courtesy to Pennrisylvania's gallant son,
George B. McClellan. Senators speak dispar
agingly, of the merits of General MoClellan,
land plainly indicate their determination to vote
dawn the amendment. During this discussion
the virtues, the loyalty and patriotism of Gov.
Johnson have been extolled; his fealty to the
government and his personal exposure of him
self in its service in Tennessee have been flat
teringly commented upon. Is merit found in
him only ? Go b•ick with me to July and Au
gust, 1861. Let us glance at the position of
the rebel army entrenched within hearing of
the Capitol. Our army confident and brave,
but inexperienced, under the guidance of the
veteran Scott, was impetuously driven forward
be the machinations of political fanatics. It
was madly dashing against the battlements at
Manassas; it did all that a brave and loyal
soldiery could do but was thrown back, beaten,
dismayed and bleeding, upon. Washington.—
The army demoralized—the Capital defenceless
—the administration dismayed and well nigh
despairing—Representatives and Senators un
nerved and powerless, trembled in the well
grounded anticipation of immediate danger,
and
gg With livid lips they arced,
'The foes the foes they come."
Al! as dismay, all were in trepidation ; and
with outstretched hands they sought relief.—
Whence shall it come ?—is it from (ievernor
Johnson, then a Senator of the United States ?
Why he partook of the general dread.
To the young and vigorous McClellan the
eye of the nation involuntarily turned, and the

During all the existence of the rebellion,
where is Andrew Johnson ? In the Senate of
the United States, seeking protection for him
self and his fellows under the bayonets of the
soldiers of McClellan. Until this hour, when
has he shown himself in the front of battle ? In
high places—as the military Governor of his
own people, as their dictator—we find him ; he
is never found in arms in defence of his State,
or valiantly fighting in defence of the liberties
of his people, against the armed cohorts of the
rebellion. Never, never I

The Republicon party in the New York Legis
lature has refused to accord to Gen M'Clelliin
the honor of a public reception. He who has
done more than any other toward crushing out
the insurrection, is refused an opportunity to
be heard. M'Clellan, the soldier, has volunta
rily encountered the perils of the battle-field
and the privatiOns of the camp, Johnson, the
civilian, has remained in inglorious ease as a
Senator and a Governor. This resolution as
amended, places them on the same level, and
surely Gov. Johnson cannot complain of this.
For this simple request, for exercising our un
doubted right to criticise all public, men, for
plainly expressing our opinions and convic
tions, we are bitterly denounced. Sirs, you
may talk as you will. We are your peers—
Senaiers of this Commonwealth—sustained by
a noble and a loyal constituency ; we are sus
taining the doctrines of the Constitution, and
demand and will have the right freely to express
the opinions that actuate us.
Mr. Speaker, it has been said that every man
who was a Democratic Senator or &presents

armed rebellion against the Government. In Ds
broad statement, this is incorrect; that it is

partially true follows naturally from the facts,
that Republicanism was essentially sectional,
that - the South 'was mainly represented by De

that these facts prove the disloyalty of the
Northern Democracy is utterly absurd. They

tions of whose hearts beat in sympathetic uni
son with thirtyifour States, who will bear aloft

—they are the men who are trampling upon
your heels and will soda follow in the places
you new occupy. Sirs, this is the past and
the present of the rebellion, these are the signs
of the times.. •
I am opposed to the reception of Governor
.Johnson for no personal reason ; but, sir, I am
unwilling to recognize his-present official posi
tion. Ile is not the Governor of Tennessee in
my view of the law. lam opposed to the re
solution because Republican Senators are un
willing to yield the same courtesy to General
M'Clellan. I am opposed to the resolution
because I am unwilling to countenance-any of
those men who have rendered aid and comfort
toward sustaining this administration—mark •
me—towards sustaining this administration in
its unconstitutional, unwarranted and unne
cessary measures. Andrew Johnson is one of
those who has gone farthest, who has been the
most ultra of the ultra in sustaining the vio
lent measure of the administration at Wash
ington. '
Mr. FULLER. Will the Senator allow me to
ask him a question ?
Mr. WALLACE. Certainly.
Mr. FULLER. Does the Senator refer to the
war measures of the administration ?
Mr. WALLACE. I do. To those and to all
other utmostitutional measures.
Mr. FULLER. It is for that you condemn
him?
Mr. WALLACE. No, sir, not for that alone,
but because he has been _a consistent and warm
friend of all their radical measures.
Mr. FULLER. I desire to ask the Senator
whether Andrew Johnson has sustained this
administration in any other measures except
those necessary for putting down this rebel
lion ?
Mr. WALLACE. He has sustained the ad
ministration in its emancipation measures, in
its suspension of the writ of habeas corpus, in all
its prominent measures. Sir, the Senator can
not point out a single measure of this adminis
tration that was opposed by the lomil people of
the - North, -- that has not been sustained by An
drew Johnson. It is' for this I shall vote
against his occupying this hall.
Mr. FULLER. Do 1 understand the Senator
to say that the loyal people of the North are
opposed to Andrew Johnson because he has
euetained the Government?
Mr. WALLACE. I do not say any such
thing, and I suppose that that sufficiently
covers the inquiry of the gentleman.
I shall proceed. In its emancipation policy
—in its control and absolute suspension of the
right of free speech and a free press—in its're
peated arbitrary arrests—the administration
has gone contrary to the Government. The
Government of the United States can do none
of these things. In the organic law of the
land, it is plainly written that the rights of
personal liberty, freedom of speech and free
dom of the press are rights upon which no
man dare lay his hand. Yet the right of per
sonal liberty has been repeatedly violated and
the authority of the law contemned and defied.
The courts were open; the law of the land
was in full force; none were interfering to stop
its execution ; the people loyal and minas
sive ; yet men have been taken by this admin
istration from their homes and families, de
prived of their constitutional right of trial by
jury, and immured in distant forts and prisons.
The eternal principles embodied in the bill
of rights of Pennsylvania and contained in
the Amendments of the Constitution - of the
United States are the strata upon which rest
all our political rights. It was to preserve
these that the Constitution was framed. It
was to secure these that the revolution was
fought; all the other provisions of the written
law were designed as the outer barriers for the
protection of these. These great principles
are immutable and can never be subverted and
our liberties - preserved. These are the Govern
ment. To protect them is the highest duty of
any administration called into existence under
the provisions of the Constitution. No admin
istration can strike out of existence these great
principles without destroying the very institu
tions they are sworn to support.
And, sir, there is another thing to be said
in this connection. Vacilistion of purpose—a
continued vacillation of policy and purpose
has characterized this administration from its
inception ; it has bad this policy to day and
that to morrow ; it has wandered here to-day
and there to morrow: it has proposed this thing
as a war measure to-day and that thing to-mor
row, until, little by little, it has crushed out
the Union sentiment of the South and almost
exhausted the lop il people of the North, by
arousing a trembling apprehension for the
preservation of the liberties guaranteed by the
Constitution. This vacillation of purpose on
the part of the administration has knitted to
gether the people of the South as one mighty
mass in arms against us ; blood has flowed
like water; and treasure, by the thousand
millions, has already been expended in the
hitherto fruitless efforts to conquer a peace
and cru-h the insurrection. Unless reason
shall resume its throne North and S•tuth—un
less the olive branch accompany the sword--
unless honesty of purpose and fealty to our
constitutional obligations shall gain the ascen
dant—there is no ray of hope for the future.
In speaking as I have spoken of the Consti
tution, I do 'not wish to be understood as in
terposing its provii.ions as a protection to
rebels in arms If they have violated the law,
let them be tried by the law and be punished
by the law. Ido not wish my position upon
this question to be misunderstood. The his
tory of the world shows us that occasions of
public commotion are seized upon by designing
men to swee p sway the liberties of the people.
I am solicitous for the preservation of the Con
stitution, because it. is the greet protecting
power for my liberties and the liberties of the
people I represent:
Mr. RIDGWAY. I would ask the gentle
men whether be is supporting the Constitu
tion for the purpose of protecting slavery or
liberty?

the right to control my constituents, se chil
dren and myself to any " one man power." We
have a written law, and by that written law we
must abide.
Sir, I again indignantly repel the assertion of
Senators upon this floor, that the Democracy
aredisloyal. Thousands of the noble Democ
racy of Pennsylvania are moir in the army;
they promptly responded to the call for troops ;
they have nobly sacrificed their private inter
ests and pursuits and have devoted themselves
to the support Of the government, and are now
engaged in vindicating by arms the power of
the government.
When gentlemen- undertake-to make a dis
tinction between the leaders of the Democracy
and the Democratic masses, they fall into a
grievous error. Sirs, I tell yoit the leaders are
behind the people on this question. I tell
Senators that the people of Pennsylvania are
far in advance of their leaders in their zeal for
the maintenance of the Constitution. They
say "stand by' every line, cling to every letter,
plant yourselves upon its eternal doctrines and
let no power move you therefrom; they re
proach their leaders that they do not more de
fiantly and emphatically denounce these con.f`
tinned and repeated usurpations of the rights
of the people.
Sir, we are for the Constitution and the law ;
and when Senators call us iidisloyal," I ask •
them in what we have disobeyed the law ? Obe
dience to law is the true test of loyalty. He
whe obeys the law is the loyal man, and he who
is willing under any plea—aye, even the plea
of necessity—to tratiple beneath his feet the
liberties of the people and the law of the land
is a disloyal man. [Applause.] I hurl back
upon such men the imputation of disloyalty.
We are the loyal men because we' are for the
law. Let those who seek to subvert the law
receive to themselves the damning record of
disloyalty. The Democracy of Pennsylvania
and of the whole North are loyal; the people
of Pennsylvania are loyal; they desire to
maintain this Government unimpaired and as it
has descended to them from their fathers.
In behalf of this Government and in support
Of the law, two hundred thousand of our noble
people have gone forth to battle. Of those
two hundred thousand, thirty thousand have
bravely died with their feet to the foe and
their fames to Heaven. Are these the evi
dences of disloyalty ? Is this the conduct of
a disloyal people ? No! no ! no ! sirs. These
men have nobly died in defence ofthe Govern
ment that has fostered and protected them;
and I say to Senators .now, that the gaping
wounds of these thirty thousand soldiers are
mouths vocal with imprecations upon the
heads of those who have so criminally mis
managed this war. Their eorpees, stark sad
stiff,' will rise in judgment against the men
who strive to wrest from a free people the
plainest teachings of that law, in defence of
which those brave soldiers nobly died.
ROLL OF HONOR.
A certain individual once made the wise ob
servation that men and animals are indistinctly
"seen through a fog;"-but he should haw,
carried his Ouggestion farther and stated that
every mooted question has k,two sides. This
seems especially to be the case in reference to
an article published on the 10th inst., in the
Harrisburg Telegraph, - entitled "Roll of In
famy." In that toll ere the names of the fol
lowing State Senators:

These men may well be pfoud of the votes
they oast for which they are stigmatized as
members of a "Roll of Infamy." The Mention
of the Telegraph, intentionally omitted to in
form his readers of the full facts in this case.
He omitted to slate that previous to these men

Chamber of the State to such political aspirants
as Andy Johnson and ea• Gov. Wright, the
Abolition majority of the State Senate refused
to giant the same privilege to Gen. Geo. B. Mc-
