FORTY-FOUR COLUMNS OF READING MAT
TER EACH WEEK I
AT THE LOW PRICE OF 'ONE DOLLAR
AND FIFTY CENTS
WHEN
SUBSCRIBED FOR IN CLUBS OF 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
/Wires 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 rome 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.
tire than it has been in the past. -We confidently look
for increased encouragemeht in this great enterprise,
and appeal to every influential Democrat in the State to
lend nit his aid in running our sapsoription 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 Dailfpaper, the
price of which is also increased. The additional cost 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 certain that such would be the conga
quence, we should still be compelled to make it, or suf
fer a ruinous loss. Under these circumstances we must
throw ourselves upon the generosity, or, rather, thit
justice of the public, and abide their verdict, whatevd
it may 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 bislang 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
of reading matter, embracing all the current news of
the day, and
TELEGRAPHIC DISPATCHES
From everywhere up to the moment the paper goes to
press, political, miscellaneous, general and local news

CHEAPEST NEWSPAPER PUBLISHED IN
THE STATE!
There le scarcely a village or town in the State in
which a club cannot 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 Democratic doctrines, who
would be willing to make the effort to rates 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 Little, Remelt Fo. , s edition of the Laws of 1860,
page 38, chapter 131, section 1.) -
"Provided, however, that where packages of newspa
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 guarterin ad
vance, shall be handed to the postmaster, he shall de.
liver the same to their respective owners."
To enable the Postmaster to comply with this regula
tion, it will be necessary that he be furnished with the
list of names compoeing the club, and paid a quarter's
or year's) postage in advents". The uniform courtesy
of Postmasters. affords the assurance that they will
cheerfully accommoaate club subscribers, and the latter
should take care that the postage, which is but a trifle
in each sue. bepaid in advance. Bend on the clubs

TUESDAY MORNING, APRIL 21, 1863
TO LOYAL LEAGUERS.
From the Journal of Commerce
It is well in times like these to be honest
and conscientious in all that we do with refer
ence to the country. It ought to be true of
every member of the various Loyal Leagues that
have been formed on various foundations
hereabouts, that he honestly intends to keep
the pledge which he takes not for an hour or
a day, but for ever. A pledge of honesty for
only a week, is almost equivalent to a deter
mination to be dishonest after the week is
ended. A pledge of loyalty, if it means any
thing, must mean perpetual loyalty—at least
as long as the man who takes it remains in the
country.
But have you carefully considered the mean
ing of the pledge you have taken, and do you
mean to abide by it sincerely and with single
ness of purpose, or do you take the pledge
only for the purpose of making a political and
partisan use of the men you can induce to join
you ? If the latter is your object, then indeed
no words can sufficiently describe the infamy
of your conduct. The baseness of the man
who, to gain political power, professes a loy
alty which he intends to abandon whenever
convenient, is the worst of hypocrisy. Such
men disgrace republics, and deserve the con
tempt of their fellow men and of posterity.
- Let us trust that none of you have any such
miserable secret disloyalty in your disposi
tions. Let us believe that all of you, editors
of Evening Posta, Times, Liberators, Anti- Slavery
Standards, Tribunes, and what not, have hon
estly and frankly resolved to sustain "the
Union in accordance with the Constitution,"
and sincerely intend to keep your vow of sup
porting the government of the United States.
This is no slight vow, let us tell you. You
have, of course, considered the possibility of a
change of policy in the administration, a revo
cation of the emancipation proclamation, an
abandonment of the negro arming plans, and a
return to the war as laid down by the Crittenden
resolutions, and that would not shake your de
termination. But you may be called to go a
step further. The war may be prolonged into
a new administration, and these "copper
heads" may be after a ll in such majority as to
elect a copperhead President, so that govern
' went will be administered on copperhead prin
ciples, whatever those are. You have of course
taken a vow for three or five years at least.
It is a poor vow, a waste of vowing, quite a
useless piece of self-binding, if it does not ex
tend to that length. You have considered all
that, and you intend to support "all the mea
sures of the government" as the duty of loyal
ms. We do not pretend to know what cop
pefheads may do with the government when
they come to t 411.• charge of it. We cannot
possibly foresee what you may be called on to
support when the administration is in their
De t arPofi a N i Sla i M i s u ro f igiaMfolg
honor or forswear your vows merely because
you think the policy of the administration
ruinous to the country. That- were indeed a
" ridiculous muss" after a mountain of vowing.
No. no ; we expect to see the Loyal Leaguers,
with the Evening Post and Tribune at their bead
and on all their flag staffs, supporting the cop
perhead administration, even if their special
abhorrence, Thomas IL Seymour, should be
the President whom they have to follow. There
are glorious histories of leagues that have been
honorable and faithful through trials even
worse than this. The uld Knights of St. John
fought many a gallant battle under Grand
Masttrs whom they abhorred. The Loyal
Leaguers will not fail in the hour of trial.
Nay, even if the radical Abolition doctrine
should come to be the doctrine of 'the present
administration, and they should be pressed by
the disunionists of the North (the radical Abo
lition party are all disunionists) into adopting
the policy of peace by disunion, still you will
support all the measures of the administration,
will you not? You recollect the radical plat
form ? We give some planks from it, to recall
it to your minds. Here is one ;
"Speaking for ourselves, we can honestly
say that for the old Union, which was kept in
existence by Southern menaces and Northern
concesisons, we have no regrets, and no wish
for its reconstruction.
.
"Who wants a Union which is nothing but
a sentiment to Linker Fourth of July orations
withal ?
"If, by chance, in ancient times, the criminal
felt the loathsome corpse which justice bad tied
upon his shoulders, slipping off—be did not,
we fancy, cry out, wretched man that lam
—wb3 will fasten me again to the body of this
death ?' If we are, in the providence of God,
to be delivered from unnatural alliances—if

promising to sustain all the efforts of this ad
ministration, or any future administration, in
any war, or in peace, or for any specific pur
pose. We will never bind ourselves hand and
foot to the car of any party, administration or
man in America. We will sustain the govern
ment of the United States, to wit: the Consti
tution and the power of the people of the sev
eral States, even unto the end—if the end must
be. And whenever and wherever we see man,
officer or. net, who is doing what we believe
will tend to the dissolution of the Union and
the destruction of the government, we will do
all that we can to avert evil likely to follow
his efforts, and to induce him to change his
course. Leagues that agree to follow the lead
of any one man, and support whatever policy
he dictates, are dangerous institutions—dan
gerous to those who join in.them as well as to
the country. A league agreeing to support all
the measures of a Democratic administration
would be as wrong as a league to support all
the measures of a Republican administration.
Gentlemen, there is something else to do be
sides making war. Because a nation is engaged
in war, that is no reason why we should cease
to perform our duties as citizens, as members
of a community, as heads of families, as wise
men in the ordinary business of life. They
who are endeavoring to direct your attention
closely and only to the war, as the sole object
worthy your attention, may be doing it to di
vert your minds frOm your pockets, which they
would rob, and from your liberties, which they
would destroy. There are some men in your
Loyal Leagues whom all the world knows asjust
the men to rob and destroy you. Be loyal men,
but be wise in your loyalty. Sustain the gov
ernment, and sustain every branch of it, the
Executive, the Judiciary, the Legislative, both
in the Nation and in the States. The reserved
powers of the States demand your faithful,
unswerving, fearless defence, quite as much as
the delegated powers in the United States ; for
the State government is a part of the government
set over you by the Constitution, and by the
reserved powers therein referred to. It be
comes Loyal Leaguers, then, to remember what
they have vowed, in all its length and breadth,
so that they shall not stand perjured hereafter.
Let your vows be solemn, and then keep your
vows, or expect the reputation, and the just
reputation, which always attaches to the for
sworn.

" Where is General M'Clellan R "
Commonwealth.
General M'Clellan is at home, in New York.
He has asked President Lincoln a score of
times, " When am Ito be assigned to a com
mand ? " or, " When are my services to be
called for ? " The answer uniformly is, "By
and by." A short time ago he said to Presi
dent Lincoln, " I must have something to do,
or I must ask your acceptance of my resigna
tion." The President's reply is understood to
have been, " We shall soon need you ; we re
ally need you now ; bide your time."
General Hunter commands the expedition
against Charleston. He is familiar with the
printed rules, but not with the science of war.
He is not an engineer. He never won a victory
in his life. We are much afraid he never will.
gr'sneten4cCretaftfttin Ethfiliflil,>#rB3Z 41.91/14
engineer in the Southern army has had five
months to fortify. Yet General Hunter is se
lected to outwit and defeat Gen. Beauregard.
But in one thing President Lincoln is right.
General .31"Clellan will be wanted. If things go
on a few weeks longer as they have been going
on, he will be wanted to save Washington from
General Lee. If he is permitted to resign—
and there is a rumor from Washington that he
has resigned, already—the Governor of Near
York will instantly appoint him to the com
mand of the militia of that State, and he will
at once Commence to improve the defenses of
the greatest city in the North—a city which
Jeff. Davis means to assail before four months
have gone by, with a fleet a iron -clads, some
of which are already afloat, and others of
which are being built in the ship-yards of
England, ostensibly for the "Emperor of
China."
One more " traitor's prediction." While we
believe that General Halleck is a very able
General, and is being consulted much more at
present than he was a short time ago, we be
lieve that to place George B. M'Clellan in a
very important command within'a very short
time, and to secure, also, a greater concentra
tion of our fast diminishing forces by the aban
donment of one or two of cur projects of large
dimensions but no real value, can alone save
us from utter ruin ! If this is a gloomy view
of " the situation," we will only say, it is
the beat we can offer. We may add, however,
that it is the view which is already entertained
by two members of the President's Cabinet,
and is beginning to be entertained by Abraham
Lincoln. God help our President to do his
duty and save the nftlinn ! — Prnvidence Post.
