PURPOSES OF THE WAR'.
Congress, by a rote nearly unanimous, paused
the following resolution, which expresses the
woke of the Nation and is the true standard of
Loyally:
"That the present deplorable civil war has been
forced noon the country by the dimmionierts of the
Posthorn States, now manes ogainst the Constitutional ,
Illooornment, mut in arms around the Capital; that 'An
this flohlocei sen:rgoney, Congress, banishing all feel.
ing of mere passion or resentment, will recollect only
its duty to the whole country; that skis war is not
waged on their port in any spirit of oppression, or f
any purpose of conquest or subjugation, or purpose of
overthrowing or int. rfering with the rights or estabtished
institutions of those States,but to defend and maintain
the supremacy of the Constitution, and to preserve. the
Union, with all the dignity, equality and rights of the
several States unimpaired; and that as soon ess these ob
pets a,e aecomplizted the war ought to cease."

we learn, are in the vicieity of Warrenton.

"We know of no great revolution," says Ma
csuley, "which might not have been prevented
by:rlopeetTliee tiktly gfaiieuely made.
Firomaess-48,a , great - ismscin-pnbliarmstFairs,
but it.,has its proper , sphere. Conspiracies
and insurrections in which small minorities
are engaged, the out-breakings of popular vin
%nes unconnected iii*k any
~ sitensive project
or any durable..principle, are best repressed by
vigor and decision. To shrink from them is
to make theme formidable. But no wise ruler
will confound the pervading taint, with the
slight local irritation. No wise ruler:will treat
the deep-seated discontents of a great party as
he treats the conduct of a - mob which destroys
mills and power looms. The neglect of this
distinction has been fatal even to the govern
ments strong in the power of the sword.
Dot in all the movements of the human
mind which tend to great revolutions, there is
a crisis at which moderate concessions may
amend, conciliate and preserve."
Unhappily for our country, the crisis in our
affairs was reached when her interests were
in the hands of men upon whom the teachings
of history -were lost. Men of narrow intellect,
lacking wisdom, statesmanship and patriotism,
they were governed by a single foolish, im
practicable idea—the Abolition : of Slaviesy = to
the suceees °turbid' the Constitution, the laws,
the Union, and the rights aid liberties of the
white man were made secondary and tubser
‘
Went.
If these.men had been wise or patriotic-,if
they bad .been capable of placinga just esti
nuite upon the value of peace; Union and Lib
erty under the Constitution, the
. many ,and
great evils that have befallen us, since their
.accession to power, might have been averted.
In the Peace Convention, had the -idulinii
tration party showed'a disposition to prevent
a rupture, every diffioults conld,have . been set
tled, every disagreement harmonized. They
had but toter:tinily adopt the Crittenden Com
promise, to show a unanimity of feeling in fa
vor of a peaceftil adjustment of disputed points,
and all would have been well—the dread ca
lamity et civil WailiTlo4 not have fallen upon
ne; and the' preciens blood that has'been so
freely sired, and, the. thousands; of millions of
money which have been squandered upon ar
mies and navies, or stolen by party favorites,
would have been saved-
Bat snob was not their purpose then, nor IS
it now. They had determined upon a war with
the South, as the only means of effecting•their
object, and hence they refused to compromise,
arid ttfored everythipg to the , arbitrament of
the sword.
Their desire was gratified. That weapon of
death has now been at work for more than two
years, slaying and maiming its hundreds of
thousands, devastating the country, carrying
and misery wherever it goes, and
yet they have not subjugated the South or
freed the negroes, except by proclamation.
But upon them the lesson, severe as it has
been, has had no effect. They are of those
who neither learn nor forget. The idea they
started with still clings to them as the shirt of
Nessus clung to its wretched owner, and they
refuse to day what they refused in 1861, to
entertain any plan for a just and peaceable
settlement of the eontroversy, unless upon the
basis of the moat abject and servile submission ,
to their fanatical, heretical and destructive
policy.
These men seem to be not only blind, but
absolutely' mad; and we cannot divest our
mind .of the belief thee as God worked, outs
great purpose through Pharaoh, by hardening
his heart, Bo is tobe wo•ked outs great pur
pose (which we mutant see) • through this ,Ad
mintration, by depriving thent of eight and
sense, and leaving them to.their own folly and
PetritiCashiß. -
The !verde of Musaiy are wise—statesmen
and patriots would consider them—but it is not
permuted this Administration to listen to pru
dent counsel; they are fanatics, and upon them
wisdom sheds its light in Vain.
Even despotic governments have listened to
the complaints of the people, and mndifird their
policy to avert great evils: But our Adminis
tration, with a presumption which proves its
want of sense, refuses to listen to the people.
and means, it it cannot persuade, to eocree
them into its measures.
If it should please Heaven to grant them one
lucid interval, it is not even now too late, t. 3.
peaceful measures, to put an end to this bloody
war, and restore the Government as it came to
us from the Fathers.
Why, at a time when victory has crowned
our arms, should the President hesitate to in
The the people of the needed States to throw
down their arms and come back into the Union,
without any other terms imposed than obedi
.
ence to the Constitution ?
Such an invitation, if it failed in its objeot,
would redound to the honor of the Administra
tion and tend to unite the people of the North.
t It is dictated alike by justice and wisdom.
Christianity and philanthropy would rejoice at
it- - -the world would applaud it—the people de
mand it—a suffering country requires it ; but
it will nut be d*ne• Reels and fanatics are in
the ascendant—and salvation will only come
through suffering and blood. We may be thank
fal if it come at all.
Captains Sawyer and • Flynu—getaliation.

and as we have now, over five hundred Federal

The Abolition Organ on Woodward
We have no intention of wasting time or oc
cupying space by a long or elaborate notice of
the nonsense with which the Telegraph has
filled over two-thirde of a column in a futile
attempt to justify the atrocious sentiment,
4 , that it would be better fOr Lee to have de
feated Meade and made Harrisburg his head
quarters than that Woodward should be elected
and inaugurated Governor !" The Telegraph
covers its ease with assertions which nobody
but a hardened falsifier would utter. It is suf
ficient for us to say that every allegation
against Geo. W. Woodward is untrue. The
knowledge that the Democratic party has been
in power more than two.thirds of the time
since the. adoption of the Constitution, and that
during all the time they were in power, the
country prospered under their wise and liberal
policy, ought to satisfy every unprejudiced man
that the dangers winch the Abolition organ
pretends to apprehend from the election of the
Democratic candidate are entirely unfounded.
The country is always safe under Democratic
rule,.because with them the Constitution is
" rule and gnide," while the Opposition party,
whatever name it'may assume, no sooner suc
ceeds to power than it tramples upon the Con
stitution, spurns the laws, tramples upon in
dividual rights, disregards the plainest dictates
ofjnStide, and MAO at arbitrary control. They
are always dangerous—the Democracy never.
Geo. W. Woodward will go into the Guber
natnial chair with the same principles that
his Democratic predecessors took there, and
under the policy whieh he will pursue the
Commonwealth will flourish, and every man
will be secure in his person and property from
the lawless grasp of Abolition ruffians. This
is what the Telegraph foresees, if it foresees
anything, and this is what it fears and is labor
ing to prevents

XXECITITIVEI MINIUM /
WAsantertos, July 30 5
It is the duty of every government to give
protection to its citizens, of whatever class,
color or condition,.and especially to those who
are duly Arganized as soldiers in the public
service. The law of nations, and the usages
and customs of war, as carried on by civilized
powers permit no distinction as to color in the
treatment of prisoners , of war as public ene
mies. To sell'or enslave any :captured person
on account of his color, and for no offence
against the laws of war, is a relapse into bar
barism, and a crime against the civilization of
the age. The government of the United States
will give the same protection to all its soldiers,
and if the enemy shall sell or enslave any one
because of his color; the offence shall be pun.
ished by retaliation upton the enemy's priso
ners in oer possession. Its is therefore ordered,
that ,for every soldier of the United States
killed in violation of 'the law, a rebel soldier
shall be executed, and for every one enslaved
by the enemy or sold into slavery, a rebel sol
dier shall be platted at hard labor on the pub.
lie works, and continued at such labor until
the other shall be releeeed and receive the
treatment due to a prisoner of war.

except such as may be useful to this command.
If a man resists . this by refusing to report,

that we feel toe utmost confidence in the eleo

and Supreme Jud 4e, in spite' of all the influ
ence which position, money and force give to
our opponents.
We have an advantage in our candidates
which it seems to us impossible for the Abu
!itionists to overcome. They are both honest
and capable men, anti no men nominated by a
party controlled by speculators, peculators and
fatteticallto likely to be either one or tne other.
We have 'nominated men who, if • elected,
will prove an honor to the State—men who
wilt maintain the just constitinionab rights 01
the States and the citizens of the State against
every attempted encroachment of the national
ndmininistratiOnt and there is not a man in the
Abolition party likely to be nominated for . Guy
ernor or Supreme Judge who could be relied
upon to administer the government either ably
or faithrtilly—Leertainly not one who would
dare to stand up manfully against the corrup
tions and usurpations 41 thu Federal 44 2111 " 8-
