The Philadelphia Evening Atoned of Satur
day says that eleven of the Democratic dele
gates from that city are instructed for Mr.
Witte, and adds! " From all we can learn of
the facts, Mr. W. will receive seventeen votes
from this county." This statement differs
greatly from some others we have seen—but
being given "as a matter of fact" we publish
it as such on the authority we have named.

A correspondent of the Philadelphia Press,
who-writes from the Army of the Potomac,
under date of May 12, and as a member of the
army, says of Col. Allabach :
Tomorrow, or tint morning, Colonel Alla
bach's regiment, the 131st Pennsylvania, will
leave us. The Colonel has been acting briga
dier since the departure of Gen. Briggs, and
the Second brigade has, ever since, been styled
"Allabach's." He is a good officer, and leaves
with the best wishes of his brethren in arms,
who hope to meet him soon, wearing the in
signia he so well deserves.
We trust the Colonel may soon wear " the
insignia he so well deserves," if it is 'his in
tention to go back into the service. Every
soldier whet knows him speaks well of him,
and we have no doubt that, as a full brigadier,
he would confer honor on the service. He is,
we believe, a soldier by education as well as
inclination, and in everymilitary position he
has filled, in the 'Mexican and present war,
has so acquitted himself as to command the
respect and confidence of his superiors and
subordinates.
We have also heard Col. Jennings highly
spoken of as a brave soldier and good officer,
and should he return to service should be grat
ified to see Min rise.
There are many other Pennsylvardi officers,
undoubtedly, who deserve well of their coun
try, and also many brave men, and we shall be
happy to name them at any time they may be
brought to our notice.
What We Should Like.
We should like to see the President, his
Cabinet advisers, and his advisers of all sorts,
act honestly toward the country_ Having now
entered upon the third year of the war against
rebellion, we should be pleased to see them put
forth to this people a manifesto giving is the
plain, unvarnished language of truth the actual
condition of public affairs, telling us precisely
what is our financial situation, and what pros
pect there is of putting down the rebellion ;
whether the war is likely to close successfully
in one, two or three years, and whether, when
it does close, it will leave us as we were before
it began, a united, free, prosperous and happy
people. We must presume that they have facts
in their possession which would enable them
to do this, if they thought proper—and, in our
judgment, nothing would have a greater ten
deney to relieve the public mind and unite
public sentiment. For God's sake, in this ter
rible crisis let them deal fairly and truthfully
with us. If they mean honestly to restore the
Constitution as the fundamental law and the
Union as it wee, let them tell us so in an offi
ciallorm 5 and if, on the contrary, they mean
to change the character of the government,
let them be equally candid and explict. The
nation wants to know from those in authority
what is to be its fate.

DOWNWARD STEPS TO DESPOTISM_—The New
York World eenelndes an article on this sob
sa follows:
"It is usual to say that a bold bad man
usurps power; but such is not the truth.
Every people has precisely the institutions it
deserves, and, to judge from the Philadelphia.
.Preas and•the New York Times, the lost loss
of Austria at* mote ootimbiol to many than
the liberty which has been our fond boast.
That in the beat of debate a man should some
times say or do a foolish thing must he e x
peeled, and may be excused; but that a news
paper, edited by a man of position and ability,
and circulated amovg intelligent men, should
view not only without horror. but with 'PAN
faction, the arrest sad deportation of a man
for an expression of opinion at a public meet
is.g. is the strongest evidenoe of the decay of
that public virtue and that spirit of liberty
without which Democracy is s dream."
The Gubernatorial Question.
In a little less than one mouth from this time
the delegates of the Democratic party will meet
in State Convention in this city and place be
fore the people a candidate for the office of
Governor to succeed the present incumbent.
We wish to treat this question truthfully and
seriously, because it is of the greatest conse
quence that no misstep should be made, by
which the possibility - of defeat might be in
curred.
With scarcely an exception we think oar
numerous readers will agree that in this great
contest now being waged between the party
favoring the views of the uttiOual e4mitietre -
Lion and the Democratic party we have truth
fully stated the issues and freely and fearlessly
taken our share of responsibility in mysting
them.
We mean to do so now with our own party
in reference to the course proper to be pursued
by the Convention soon to assemble authorized
to nominate a candidate for Governor, and we
claim at least credit for good intention in what
we shall say.
We have heretofore held, when writing on
this subject, that it was imperative on the
party, under the extraordinary circumstances
existing, to select for its standard-bearer the
very best man it could get—and this opinion we
still adhere to_ We have' said, and we repeat
it now, that we want a candidate not only re
liable in his political principles, but of sound
moral character, unconnected with cliques and
corruptionists, and of mental calibre equal to
the crisis in which he will be called upon to
act.
No one who falls short in either of these
qualifications should, in our judgment, be
selected, if such a selection can be avoided.
But it may happen that we shall be com
pelled to choose eventually among candidates
neither of whom will come up fully to the
standard proposed_
Inthat event we must make the best choice
possible, and should, we think, take him who,
of all others presented, has in his favor the
weight of moral character and inflexible po
litical principles.
We have said before, and we 'reiterate it,
that with a candidate whose moral character
will require defense from the moment of his
nomination to the close of the campaign, suc
cess will be far from certain, lie will be a
drag upon the party instead of an assistance
to it, and perhaps if elected might prove a
greater permanent disadvantage than even de
feat itself could entail. The same observa
tions will hold good in regard to his political
integrity. That is another point upon which
he must be sound; for no candidate deficient
in moral character, or a trimmer or trader in
politics, ought under any circumstances, and
especially under present circumstances, to be
thought of as a candidate for the first or any
other office in the Commonwealth.
There is no reason that we can think of why
Pennsylvania should not have, as her next
Governor, a man of the character, in many re
spects at least, of Horatio Seymour, of New
York, or Gov. Parker of New Jersey. There
should be a pride among us to approximate, if
we cannot reach, that standard—and, our word
for it, if the experiment shauld be once suc
cessfully tried, the people of this State would
never have reason to regret it.
We trust that in offering these reflections
we may not be considered officious by any of
our numerous readers. Earnest we desire to
be thought, for earnest we are, and we should
esteem it the greatest glory of our life if we
could so far influence the Democratic State
Council soon to assemble as to insure to the
party a candidate upon whom it could cordially
unite, whom it would be a satisfaction to honor,
and who would prove, in turn, an honor to the
old Commonwealth, and to this glorious but
sorely tried nation, that stands so 'greatly in
need of the talents and services of its most
eminent citizens to rescue it from impending
perils.
We trust that wisdom may rule the decision
of the Convention, and that the candidate of
its choice may not only be worthy of success,
but achieve it.
GOV. SEYMOUR'S LETTER TO THE IrAY.I.ANDIG
HAM MEETING.-ALBANY, May 17.—The follow
ing is the letter of Governor Seymour to the
Vallandigham meeting last night:
EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT, May 16.
1 cannot attend the meeting at the Capitol
this evening, but I wish to state my opinion
in regard to the arrest of Mr. Vallandigham.
It is an act which has brought dishonor upon
our country. It is full of clang* to our per
sons and our homes. It bears upon its front
a conscious violation of law and justice. Act
ing upon the evidence of detailed informers,
shrinking from the light of day, in the dark
ness of night, armed men violated the house
of an American citizen and furtively bore him
away to military trial, conducted without those
safeguards known to the proceedings of our
judicial tribunals. The transaction involved a
series of offenses against our most sacred
rights. It interfered with the freedom of
01)(10 ; it molested our rights to be secure in
our homes against unreasonable searches and
seizures; it pronounctd sentence without trial,
save one which was a mockery, which insulted
as well as wronged. The perpetrators now seek
to impose punishment, not for an offense
against law but for the disregard of an invalid
order, put forth in the utter disregard of the
principles of civil...erty. If this proceeding
is approved by the government,and sutained by
the people, it is not merely a step toward revo
lution—it is revolution; it will not only lead to
military despotism—it establishes military
despotism. In this a.pect it must be accepted,
or in this aspect rejected. If it is upheld, our
liberties are overthrown, the safety emir per
sons, security of our property will hereafter
depend upon the arbitrary will of such military
rulers Its may be placed over - us, while our
constitutitional guarantees will be broken
down.
Even now the Governors and courts of some
of the great Western States have sunk into in
significance before the despotic powers claimed
and riot cieed by military men who have been
sent into their borders. It is a fearful thing
to increase the danger which now over hangs
us by treating the law, the judiciary, and the
State authorities with contempt. Ihe people
of this country now wait with the deepest anx
iety the decisions of the administration upon
these acts. Having given it a generous sug
pin in the conduct of the war, we pause to see
what kind of government it is for which we
are asked to pour out our blood and our trea
Pores. The action of the administration will
determine in the minds of more than one-half
of the people of the loyal States whether this
war is waged to put down rebellion at the
South or d. etroy free lostitutiNte at the North.
We 1 .ok for its decision with the moat solemn
(Signed) HORATIO SEYMOUR.
The reenlutione adopted point to the devo
tion shown by the Democrats curing two years
of civil war, and express a determination to
devote theirienergies to the cause of the Union ;
denounce the atteumption of military power in
the arrest of .Mr. Vallandigham ; assert the
right of free discussion. They say that in the
election of Mr. Seymour the people condemned
the system of arbitrary arrests, e n d ca ll u pon
the President to restore Mr. Vallandigham to
liberty. They direct a copy of the resolutions
to be sent to the President, with the assurance
of the desire of the meeting to support the
government in every constitutional and lawful
measure to suppress the rebellion.
THE DEMOCRACY TO BE PUT DQWB._A West
ern paper says :
In consequence of Gen. Hascall'a military
order, and the fact that no sort of fair play is to
be allowed in the coming municipal eleotion of
Indianopolis, Ind., the Democrats there have
withdrawn all their candidates, even for the
schools. Not a Democrat will consent to be a
candidate. Every Republican candidate, even down
as low as for the dog bound, will therefore be
elected.
But in those places where the Democracy are
not likely to surrender their rights so tamely,
and suffer the elections to go against them by
default, military force is to be em pl o y e d to
suppress them, as will be seen by the following
bit of intelligence :
A large party of leading Union Leaguers of
Philadelphia, headed by Morton M'Michael
and Ex-Mayor Gilpin, arrived here to day.—
Senators Wade and Chandler and Col. Forney
are their pleats!. It is supposed that steps are
to be initiated whereby home forces shall be
organized under government auspices to re
press disloyal demonstrations and organiza
tions in the North, Philadelphia has already
moved in this matter.— Washington Correspon
dence of New York Herald, 14th inst.
Confirmatory of all this, the Harrisburg Tel
egraph, another seditious, Jacobinical press,
thus helps to foment the impending civil war in
the North :
We sincerely hope that the example of the
loyal men in Philadelphia, will be emulated by
the people all over the Commonwealth and by
every loyal State in the Union. Let it be
plainly understood, that the organization is
practically intended to put down treason in
the loyal States. If it is right to pursue and
shoot a traitor in the rebellions States, it is
also right to visit the same punishment on the
same devils in the loyal States. Let us orga
nize, then, everywhere. Let us show to the
government that it will be sustained and
strengthened, Let us prove, too, to traitors
that they will be resisted and put down.
Well, if the conservative people of the North
—the Democracy—are to be driven to arms in
defence of thtir eiltetittitional liberties, let the
strife come, and the sooner the better.—Sunday
Mercury.
DEMOCRATIC OFFICERS TO BR CLEARED OUT.
The War Department recently dismissed Lieut.
Edgerly from the army for voting and aiding
ether, to vote for the Democratic that in that
State. That reason alone was alleged by Ad
jutant General Thomas, whose loyalty he has
now probably protected against question. The
act of this high officer has not been disavowed.
It is, therefore, to be taken as indivating the
policy of the administration.
But not merely lieutenants and captains of
Democratic principles are to be kicked out of
the army. Generals themselves, of that faith,
are to be deposed. The Tribune pronounces the
edict. The question of competency or incom
petency is not now to decide the matter. It is
not generalship or a want of it which will de
termine rank and place, or expulsion there
from. None but Abolitionists to lead the sol
diers will be the new Dry.
" It takes time—it has taken too much time—
to get the baton out of the hands of these mili
tary Copperheads ; but the needed.reform will
be effected, and the result will be Victory,
Union, and Peace."—Tribune.
Wendell Phillips, at the Cooper Institute,
had, as usual, sounded the note to which, with
more or less delay, the Republica/1 pasty have
always marched :
" Cromwell never succeeded until the Long
Parliament sloughed off every man that be
lieved in the House of Lords, and left nothing
but Democrats behind. We shall never sue.
coed until we slough off everything that be
lieves in the past, and bring to the front every
thing that believes there is but one purpose—
that is, to save the Union on the basis of liber
ty." (Cheers.)
To this he added the prayer that we might
have defeat and disaster till Abolition generals
and an Abolition policy led the soldiers and
guided the war: .
"God grant us so many reverses that the gov
ernment may learn its duty ; God grant us that
the war may never end till it leaves us on the
solid granite of impartial liberty and justice."
(Cheers.)
Vallaudigham is court.martialed. Phillips
runs loose.--117 Y. World.

TRI*I 32 G PENNSYLVANIA. REGIMENT.—The
132 d regiment of Pennsylvania volunteers have
left the Army of the Potomac for their homes,
their time having expired. Before leaving,
Gen. Couch made the following neat speech at
his headquarters. Gen. Conela said;
My friends, fellow-soldiers, brothers, and
companions in arms: I came here to bid you
good by. In doing so I feel sorry that you are
going; and yet I am glad that so many of you,
th roug h the providence of God, are spared to
this moment. You have figured in three battles
prominently, and have conducted yourselves
nobly and. gloriously in sash of them, and none
of you need hereafter be ashamed to say you
once belonged to the 132 d Pennsylvania regi
ment. Your record is pure--you have con
ducted yourselves through out your entire term
of service gallantly. My heart is too full for
utterance.
Soldiers, brothers, and comrades in arms!
Good by—good by—good by. God bless you
and be with you
A New York correspondent of the Boston

one oath to make an Aholitioniet Intel to the
gnvernment, how Many (tithe would it take to
bring his patriotism up to a voluoteering and
fighting pitch ?
NETS OF TIIE DAY.
The rebels in front of General Hooker's po.
sition are throwing up new and formidable
earthworks along the line of hills to the left
and in the rear of Fredericksburg. They are
evidently preparing to resist a second advance
of our army.
A party of United States cavalry having
been captured at Charlestown, Va., on Friday
night by a body of rebels, Gen. Schenck sent
out a force of Oen; Milroy's command to in
tercept the rebels. They were overtaken at
Piedmont station and recaptured by Milroy's
troops, together with forty . of the rebels.
The steamer City of New York, with dates
to the 6th and 7th from Liverpool and Queens
town, four days later, has arrived. The Amer
ican Question has been receiving the further
consideration of our Minister, Mr. Adams. A
deputation of the Trades Unionists, introduced
by Mr. Bright, had waited upon him to pre
sent the address recently adopted at a public
meeting of that body, sympathizing with the
North and applauding President Lincoln for
his emancipation policy.
Mr. Adams made a reply, recogniting their
right to present such address, as, no doubt,
they saw in the present war an attempt on the
part of the South to establish a government on
the destruction of the rights of labor.
The tone of the provincial journals was more
moderate, and a generalelesire for the preser
vation of peace between the two countries was
more freely expressed.
The communications interchanged by the
leading powers of Europe on the Polish ques
tion were published, and excited much interest.
They do not appear to be regarded as at all
satisfactory in the present phase of affairs.
ALBANY, N. Y., May 10.—The meeting to
protest against the arbitrary arrest and sen
tence of Hon. Clement L. Vallandigham was
held at the Capitol to-night. Strong speeches
were made by Hon. Amass J. Parker, Hon.
Francis Kernan, John Murphy, Esq., of Buffalo,
and others. • Resolutions were adopted de
nouncing the arrest of Mr. Vallandigham as
an unwarrantable assumption of military
power.
A letter was then read ,from Governor Sey
mour, characterizing the arrest of Mr. Vallan
digham as "an act which has brought dishonor
upon our country, which is full of danger to
our persons and our homes, and which bears
upon its front a conscious violation of law and
justice."
An attempt was mule to disturb the meet
ing, but it failed, and the police succeeded in
making several arrests.
SECOND DISPATCH.--ALBANY, May 16.—There
was some disturbance at the Vallandigham in
dignation meeting to-night.
During the day a feeling of opposition to the
object of the meeting among some of the re
turned soldiers was clearly manifest, and soon
after the organization of the meeting this even
ing, evidences of dissatisfaction were shown
among the soldiers present. The speakers
were interrupted by their noisy demonstra
tion, and finally they made a rush for the
stage.
Great excitement prevailed for a short time;
and the proceedings were brought to a stand
still. The chairs on the stage were broken
into pieces and thrown in the crowd, and for a
few minutes it seemed as if the soldiers would
gain possession of the stage and drive the
civilians off.
The soldiers were in small force, however,
and finally retired, when order was once more
restored and the proceedings resumed, although
not without occasional interruptions. Event
ually quiet was fully restored, and the meeting
carried on peacefully.
The President has made the following
changes in appointments for this State, under
the Enrolling act:
Eighth District—Captain P. S. Kupp, pro
vost marshal; Jacob C. Hoff, commissioner;
Dr. P. E. Bertolette, surgeon.
Tenth Dirtrict—Dr. James S. Carpenter,
surgeon, vice Halberstadt, appointment can
celled.
Twelfth District—Captain S. A. Bradford,
provost marshal, vice Ketchum, declined.
Fourteenth District—Dr. S. L. Charlton,
surgeon, vice ,Loiz, declined.
The Richmond Enquirer of the 15th instant
says :
Fighting is going on in Mississippi.
The enemy advanced yesterday, one thousand
strong, upon Raymond, where General Gregg
had forty-one hundred infantry and a few cav
alry.
Skirmishing commenced at 9 o'clock in the
morning. The enemy was continually rein
forced till 1 o'clock in the afternoon, when we
opened the battle heavily with musketry.
Knowing that the enemy was heavily rein
forced and ready to engage us with their full
force, we retired through Raymond, making a
stand at Mississippi Spring, where we have
reinforcements.
Colonel IvlcGavock, of the Tenth Tennessee,
was killed.
The firing today was heavy and continuous
toward Jackson.
CAIRO, May 17.—The Memphis Bulletin,
says : We learn through secession sources
that General Gtaiit's advance on the 11th was
at Raymond, Mississippi, ten miles from the
railroad and twenty-five miles from Jackson.
A Mobile telegram, May 14, says Jackson,
Mississippi, is occupied by the Federals. We

The Journal De Bt. Petersburg of, May 6th,
publishes texts of notes addressed by the Swe
dish, Spanish and Italian Cabinets to the Rus
sian Government on the Polish question, to
gether with the replies of Prince Gortsohakoff,
The Swedish Cabinet trusts that the humane
and generous principles ofthe Emperor's issued
words of clemency and oblivion, with the per
spective regime of wise liberty, would com
pletely restore .order. The Spanish note bit
terly regrets the impatience of the Poles ani
their not waiting for a continuation of the sys
tem of concession already accorded by the
Emperor. Having acquired experience that
moderation pacifies more usefully than severity,
the Queen asks pardon and indulgence for the
Poles. The reply of Prince 061.0611010 ff
thanks the Queen. The note of the Turin
Cabinet is couched in moat amiable terms, and
h•ipea that the Russian Court will s ee in the
date of its communication a proof of the desire
of Italy always to entertain the most sincere
relations with Russia. Prince Gortschakoff
states in reply that the Emperor has received
the amicable assurances of the Italian govern
ment with pleastire. As to the wishes it ea
pressed in favor of Poland, the Prince observes
that the Italian government cannot be igno
rant that a revolution imposes a difficult task on
governments. The Emperor, however, seeks
to establish a lasting peace.
