STATE RIOTS AND STATE REMEDIES—No. 4.
TO His Excatency A. G. Oran, Governor of
Pennsylvania :
RESPECTED SIR continuing the acts and
doings of the first " Reign of Terror" of the
elder Adams, let me draw your attention to
some of the sentences passed upon lho friends
of constitutional liberty. Mr. Thomas Cooper,
afterwards a judge, was charged with writing
a libel under the Sedition act against President
Adams; he was tried by the judges of the
Circuit Court of the United States, convicted,
and sentenced to six months' impriconment, & five
of $4OO, &c. Matthew Lyon, a member of Con
gress from Vermont, was charged with writing
something of a seditious tendency, tried by
federal judges, found guilty, and sentenced to
four months' imprisonment and fined $l,OOO.
Patterson, in delivering the sentence of the
court on Mr. Lyon, said : " That he was to re
main in jail four months, pay the caste and
$l,OOO fine, and be confined until the sentence
be fully complied with and than continued,
" May God grant that all Jacobins may receive
a like reward, from the St. Croix to the St.
Mary's river, and from the Atlantic to the Lake
of the Woods; that is to say, all Jacobins
within the limits of the 'United States."—
While Mr. Lyon was in prison the Democrats
of his district nominated and re-elected him to Con
gress. When informed thereof, he wrote a let
ter Of thanks, addressed "To the Freemen of
the Western District of Vermont," from which
the following is an extract :
" VERGENNES PRISON, Jan'y 12, 1799.
"FELLOW CITIZENS :—With a heart over
flowing with gratitude, I received in this fright
ful prison the intelligence that you have again
honored me with your, con fi dence, and have thought
me worthy of support as your representative
in the COngress of the United States. My real
offence consisted in this, that I would not sac
rifice your facred confidence to the plots of those
*to wished to tice a greedy court filled with
military courtiers, spies and stock jobbers, who
would grow fat on the hard earnings of the
farmers and mechanics. .
" MATTHEW LYON."
In this reminiscence of past history we see
a COnClarrent tendency of results to the same
end. In the arrest and banishment of Mr.
Vallandigham, President Lincoln says, in his
answer to the Ohio committee, that "Yellen
disk=
_hay Con
ditation, e e law, but he approvid bf nit
ishment " to keep him from doing harm"—and
while in exile the Democracy of Ohio have
nominated him as their candidate for Governor,
and, like the Democracy of Vermont, in Mr.
Lyon's case, Will eleCt him as their Governor
and for the same reasons, and thus secure the
liberty of speech, of the press, -and constitu
tional rights in defiance of a usurper—his
gilded mercenaries and cohorts.
In my last I stated that President Adams
had his standing army to assist him in his
crusade against the friends of American lib
erty. Now let ns see some of their acts. From
the black cockade gentry .President Adams
selected eleven companies, and added five
companies of the regular troops, and placed
them under the command of Gen. M'Pherson,
with the Lancaster Dragoons, under the com
mand of Capt. Wm. Montgomery, and this force
made the campaign against the farmers, me
chanics and Democrats of Northampton, Bucks,
Berke, &0., in this State. And for what ?
Because the friends of popular government,
upon seeing the Constitution of the Union
violated; their Bill of Rights annulled, their
liberty of Conscience, of the press and of
speech fettered by the Alien and Sedition laws,
reasserted their inherent right of disapproving
the acts of that tyrannical administration.—
They erected poles with the cap of Liberty on
their tops, and called them liberty poles; and,
instead' of wearing the black badge, they wore
the Red, White and Blue," &o. For this they
were denounced as rebels, and their acts pro
nounced seditious. The Black Cockade army
was put lute nett,e service, and the liberty
poles were cut dowa, while those who pre
sumed to talk about the President and his sots
of tyranny were arrested and imprisoned, the
jails and federal bastiles being filled with the
friends of constitutional liberty.
Military bulletins were written at that day
as well as the present. Here is one frem an
Aid of General M'Pherson :
" CAMP QUAKERTOWN, April 8, 1799
"We have been quite lucky since we left home,
and haVii captured a band of rascals, enough of
themselves to fill a jail. We have already
thirty-one on hand, &c. The stupid Dutoh aid
turbulent Irish are almost frightened to death.
By to-morrow night we will have about fifty
more of these rascally fellows. The Pahl
guard
house is pretty well filled."
Here is another :
" READING, April 24, 1799
I , Last Saturday afternoon the army, under
the command of Gen. M'Pherson, reached this
place from Northampton, in good spirits and
condition, and the finest military discipline.
* * * * During the cam
paign, the dragoons (to whom the seizure and
selection of the rebels was entrusted) brought
a great many captiies into camp; where the
Ron. Judge Peters was present, who immedi
ately sent those charged with high treason to
the seat of the Federal Government, where they
were put into confinement ; and the rest,
charged with minor offences were allowed to
go free on giving bail for their appearance at
the Federal mutt. That Uncommonly well dis
ciplined, brave and beautiful corps, the Lan
caster Dragoons, who do not allow the slander
ers and calunininators of the President to go
unpunished, and who know how to distribute
right and justice.under MA command of their
brave captain, William Montgomery, left this
place last Sunday afternoon."
This was the brave troops of horse that, only
a few days before -their deParture, with sword
in hank se lz e4 Snider,.editor of
. _. •
-the Reading itaT/ir,' draitged'him from his office,
and brought him before their captain, who
ordered him twenty-five lashes, to be given in
the market house.
Such are some of the acts , done during ,the
first "Reign of Terror," and all brought 6;0 bear
against the Democracy of Amerlea; for no
other cause than their patriotic efforts to pro
tect the just rights of the people front The en
croachments of monarchial power. 'The friends
of State rights and eonstikational liberty
Bounded the alarm far and near—they sent a
note of warning over the land through the press
and in speeches, to all who desired the perma
nency of our political institutions, and roused
the slumbering apprehensions of the people,
and fully awakened them to the imminent peril
that threatened everything valuable to the
Union of the States. The active measures
which the friends of liberty and Union pursued
at that time to' restore a violated Constitution
to its pristine purity, commenced under the
lead of, the States of Virginia and Kentucky;
and, through the patriotic zeal and sagacity of
their eminent statesmen, Jefferson,•Madison,
Henry, &c., caused their respective Legisla
tures 4o pass what is known es the "Kentucky
and Virginia resolut inns of 1798." These reso
lutions, and Mr. Madison's ,report thereon,
are too lengthy to insert in these numbers.—
The first resolution of the State of Kentucky
deelarge, "That the several States composing
the United States of America are not united 'on
the principles of unlimited submission to their
general government ; but by compact, under
the style and title of a Constitution for the
United States, and of amendments thereto, they
constituted a general government for special
purposes, delegated to that government certain
definite powers, reserving each State to itself
the residuary mass of rights to their own self
government, and that wheneoever the general
government assumes undelegated powers, its
acts are unauthoritative, void and of no force,"
&c. The second resolution declares that under
"the Constitution of the 'United States the
Alien and Sedition acts, and'all other acts
which as sume to create, define or punish
crimes other than enumerated in the Consti
tution, are altogether void and of no force, and
that the power to create, define and punish
other crimes in retielled and of right tipper=
tains solely and exclusively to the respective
States, each within its own territory," &c.,
and in the ninth resolution, after referring to
the usurpations and illegality of these acts,
says "And that, therefore, this Common
wealth is determined, as it doubts not its co-
States are, not to submit to undelegated and,
consequently, unlimited powers in man. or any
hod rt emu _ - 7'
-..9-ibessoetore
--
ammo @taloa, these conclusions would
flow from them: that the general government
may place any act they think proper on the
list of crimes, and punish it themselies, whether
enumerated or not enumerated by the Consti
tution as cognizable by them ; and that they
may transfer its cognizance to the President,
or any other person, who may himself be the
accuser, counsel, judge and jury, whose sus
picions may be the , evidence, his order the
sentence, his officer the executioner, and his
breast the sole record of the transaction ; that
a very numerous and valuable description of
the inhabitants of these States being by this
precedent reduced as outlaws to the absolute
dominion of one man, and the barriers of the
Constitution thus swept from us all, no ram
part now remains against the passions and the
powers of a majority of Congress to protect ,
from a like exportation, or other grievous pun
iehments," &c.
Thomas Jefferson was the author of these
resolution ; and, if he were alive now, he could
not have written a more just and truthful pro
test against the sots of the present Federal ad
ministration.
The "Virginia resolutions" were written, by .
Mr. Madison, and declare the Alien and Sedi
tion laws to be unconstitutional, void, and of
no force. Then comes his masterly report on
these resolutions—which are considered a true
commentary on the constitution and State
rights—and have become the text book and
creed of the Democratic party of the Union.
They arraigned President Adams and his ad
ministrative acts before the American people.
The issue was 4 aoespted by the Black Cockade
Federalists, who—with their unlimited patron
age, the office holders and their friends, the
army, &o.—held the sword end the purse. The
Democracy of Pennsylvania led the van, and
nominated Thomas'M'Kean for Governor, and
elected him. The Democracy of the several
States nominated Thomas Jefferson as their
candidate for President. John Adams was
re-nominated by the consolidation Federalists.
The contest was fierce—it was a contest be
tween the friends of State rights, • chnstitu
tional liberty, the freedom of speech, of the
press, and of habeas corpus and trial by jury, on
the one side, and the• Alien and Sedition laws,
standing armies, stamp acts and elective mon
archy Federalists on the other. The latter
proclaimed that so extensive a territory as that
of the United States cannot be defended ex
cept by standing armies; that it cannot be
united except by consolidation; at the same.
time attempting to delude the people with pro
fessions of republicanism. But the day of
election arrived, the people arose in their might
and elected Thomas Jefferson President of the
United States—and by this victory "the entirety
of the Union" was preserved, and a new lease
given to the life of the Constitution —as I shall
prove as I proceed. LIMIER MARTIN.

- TER ABOLITION STATE CONVENTION.
EVENING SESSION
All this names but that of Judge Agnew be
ing withdrawn, he was declared the unanimous
ohoicas :of the convention for Supreme Judge.
Mr. Id.'Clure moved that each county be en
tided to One, Pittsburg to four, Lancaster to
four, and Philadelphia to eight members on
the State Committee, to be named by the del
egates, the committee to inform the nominees
of the action of the convention.
Messrs. Todd, Maxwell, Darlington. A. W.
Taylor and Dickey, the Committee on Resolu
tions, reported the following series :
The loyal men of Pennsylvania, in conven
tion assembled, disclaiming all partisanship,
and knowing no cause but that of the country,'
declare for themselves and their constituents :
First. Their inflexible purpose to maintain,
by every necessary effort, service and sacri
fice, the National Union, as the firsi, highest,
most solemn, and most overshadowing of all
political duties.
Second. That the rebellion which threatens
the existence of the Union was without cause,
was conceived in wickedness, organized in per
jury, and developed by reckless violence, is
stained with every crime, and detestable in
olsject, and -infernal in puipose, and must be
suppressed by the people of the United States,
at the destruction of whose liberties and the
overthrow of those free institutions it is inju
riously aimed. That in this momentous con
test there are and can be but two parties—one
which firmly sustains the constituted autho
rities of the nation in enforcing all the laws
thereof, and in protecting the principle upon
which the government rests, and is, therefore,
at once the party of law, of liberty, of patri
otism ; the other which cripples the constitu
ted autboritiee of the nation in enforcing the
laws, scouring its safety, and preserving its
life, and is, therefore, the parent of mobs, the
enemy of order, and' a participant in treason
—the class whose detestable practices not only
give aid and comfort to the common enemy,
but, as confessed at Richmond, light up these
days Of rebel darkness and disaster, and sties-
Oats them to renewed and desperate efforts to
recruit their armies and to whom'a part.itthis
day justly chargeable, whatever of vitality the
rebellion preserves, and whatever 'calikoity
and affliction the further protraction .of the
contebt may invslve. But for Nertheyn spa
pathizecs with Southern treason and the hoped
which their treasonable existenca tuttpires, the
rebellion, would have sunk under the stagger
ing blows dealt at Gettysburg, Vicksburg and
Port. Hudion.
_Resolved, That wholly without enupettly toe
the men who have made this war against a
free Republican Government, or for a system
Of human bondage, in whose interest it was
instigated, or cause of despotic principles to
which it is devote!, this convention declares
all engaged therein, while so engaged, to be
worthy only Of Our patriotic hatred ; and, in
like' 'spirit, we denounce as doubly recreant
and base those residents of loyal States who
tolerate this tt:eason,lng,.wlttietlf)Leter TOW
einmenf and liberties to their keeping.

of War, in summarily arresting traitors and
thieves wherever found, merits our commenda
tion, and that in seizing any dieloyal person,
we pledge him our hearty eo-operation in the
task which he has before him.
Mr. M'Clure thought the resolutions already
read were sufficient, and Mr. M'Veigh thought
the amendment out of order.
Mr, Heighold urged the adoption of his
resolution. He had just come from'the Army
of the Potomac, and he wanted to see every
man show his hand. He charged that gentle
men had visited Washington last week to de
mand the removal of Secretary Stanton.
Mr. Barclay endorsed the resolution, and
said that the resolutions were not explicit
enough; they were only glittering generali
ties.
Mr. M'Veigh defended Governor Curtin and
his friends from the charge of a lack of good
faith, and paid a glowing tribute to the loyalty
of his district.
Mr. M'Clure wanted to , know who had gone
to Washington to complain of Stanton ?
Mr. lleighold declined to answer.
Mr. APPherson thought the resolutions were
broad enough - to cover all the desired points.
The resolutions of the committee were adop
ted,
The resolution of Mr. I.leighold was amen
ded to read as follows :

and unwise to give him credit for what others
had done.
Mr. Fuller charged that Governor Curtin's
friends were trying- to suppress this resolu

A GERMAN VIEW OP THE WAR

The St. Louie German.organ. in St.
Louis, notices' a statement in the Scientific
American, that this country is growing rich and
prosperous under the horrors of the Oita war,
and says :

The Anzeiger is a Republican paper of the
blackest stripe, but it enunciates, in the above,
good common sense.
A Foust' AMAZON —A letter from Lemberg,
published in an English journal, contains the
following :
Before leaving Brody I visited the hospital,
and found among the wounded a young lady of
19. She had received a, wound in the calf of
the leg,. from which the ' doctors had success
hilly extracted the ball the clay before our
visit. I was informed that the young lady's
name Stanislala Pizylecka, and that she had
left a situation - near Warsaw, and joined the
'insurgents in the hope of avenging herself on
'the Russians for sending her father to Siberia.
Those
,who were pear her in the battle affirm
that ohnehot three Cossacks with "her own
band before she received het wound. The story
'of her escape from. the field of battle is ro
mantic in the extreme. Having lain hid for
some hours in the tall reeds by the side of a
pond she at last took courage to look about
her, and. 'at no great distance parcel - red the
head of man with a long beard projecting
out of the water. Feeling convinced that, like
herself, the owner of this bead was hiding from
the Russians, she managed to attract his atten
tion, and learnt from him that he was an Ital
ian called Antonelio, and a survivor of Horody
ski's rash enterprise. • The Italian of course at
once offered his assistance to the young lady,

THE DESTRUCTION OF CANTON, bites.—A let
ter from Jackson, giving an account of Col.
Bassey's expedition against Canton, says:
At five, the forces moved into the town,
which is one of the most beautiful places in
the South, a tOWn of about 1,500 inhabitants.
The junction of the Mississippi Central with
the New Orleans and Jackson Railroad, makes
it a place of considerable importance. At this
place was located the "Dixie Works," contain
ing 24 forges and machinery for the construc
tion of gun-carriages and materials of war.—
This establishment has been in successful ope
ration for the Confederate Government. It
was completely destroyed by our forces. They
tore up and burned six miles of railroad track
in the vicinity of Canton. They also burned
13 , large machine shops Qnd railroad buildings,
with.all their contents, 5 locomotives, 50 care r
and 100,000 . feet of lumber belonging to the
Confederacy. Jackeon burned the railroad de
pot and . 600 baleti of cotton as he was leaving
the town. Not a dollar's worth of public
property was left in Canton. Col. Bussey also
sent a force of cavalry and destroyed a pon
toon bridge over Pearl river. Ile also burned
the railroad bridge over Big Black, 12 miles
north of C triton '
-with one mile Of teasel work
and the depot at Ways Bluffs. The expedition
returned to .Jaokson last night, having lost
about 20 men.
ONE of 'the greatest tests of courage, says a
humorous writer, is for a young man just going
into society to spend an evening with a pay
of young ladies, tied make a toar of the room
without stepping on their toes, and to sit down
and dispose of his hands wtthout putting them
in his pockets. These are achievements of
