THE UNION
"These States are glorious in their individuality,
but their collective glories are in the Union. By
all mane, at all hazards, are they to be main
tained in their integrity and the full measure of
their constitutional rights—for only to is the Union
to be preserved—only so is it worth preserving.
It is the perfection of the prisinatie colork, which
blittukti, produce the ray of light. It is the com
pleteness of these assembled sovereignties, lacking
nothing which they have not lent for a great pur
pose, that makes the Union precious. This word
.Union is a word -of gracious omen. It implies
confidence and efection—matual support andpro
tection against external dangers. It is the chosen
expression of the strongest passion of young hearts.
It is the charmed circle within which the family
dwells. It is man -helping his filleie-man in this
rugged world. It is" States, perfect in themselves,
confederated for mutual advantage. It is the peo
ple of States, separated by lines, and interests, and
institutions, and usages, and laws, all forming one
glorious nation—all moving onward to the same
sublime destiny, and all instinct with a common
life. Our fathers pledged their lives, their for
tunes, and their sacred honors, to form this Union
—let ours be pledged to maintain it,"—Gro. W.
Woomessit, duly 4, 1862.

Extract from the decision of Judge Woos
weep eustaining the stay law passed by our
Toe&Ware in favor of the soldier:
"Now, if a stay of execution for three years
would not be tolerated in ordinary times, did not
these circumstances constitute an emergency that
justified the pushing of legislation le the szteenze.o
limit of the Constitution ? No citizen could be
blamed for volunteering. He was invoked to do so
ay appeals as strong as his love of country. In
the nature of things there i nothing unreasonable
in exemptfpg a soldier's property from execution
whilst he is absent from home battling for the
supremacy of the Constitution and the integrity of
the Union. And when he has not run before he
-was sent, but has yielded himself up to the call of
his country, his self-sacrificing patriotism pleads,
trumpet-tongued, for all the indulgence from his
creditors which the Legislature have power to grant.
If the term, of inelulgenee seem Long in this instance,
it was not longer than the time for which the Pre
sident and Congress demanded the -soldier's ser
vices."

The Soldiers for the Old Union.
The fierce Southern rebels say they will
never come back into the Union.
The fierce Abolition leaders of the North say
they never will submit to live under the old
Union again.
The soldiers are away South fighting under
oath for the old Union.
The Democracy of the North are, to a man,
working to restore the old Union.
When voting day comes the soldiers of the
Union will stand by the men who sustain the
old union. No other party is to-day doing
that but the old Jackson Democracy.
Why Is the Draft Necessary.
In the winter of 18_62, Mr. Feasenden, Re
publican Senator from Maine, in a epoook in
the Senate, maid
"In every State of the Union there are men
who are paid from month to month, not called
into the mid, absolutely,for the reason that
the government has oocaelen to. use them,
add yet no step is taken - to distosnd these men.
Why not disband them if "they are not Wanted ?
We have two hundred and fifty thousand more
eau we ever intended to hare. It is extrava
glance of the most wanton kind. I offered .a
proposition to stop all enlistments."
Senator Wilson, of lkiassaohaautte, said;
1 . have ever and over again been to the
War Office, and urged ipon the Department to
stop recruiting in every part of the country.
We have had the promise that it should be done.
I believe we have to-day one hundred and fifty
thousand more men under the pay of the
government than we need or can well use. I
think the department ought to issue peremp
tory orders forbidding the enlistment of ano
ther soldier into the volunteer force."
Mkt WM before the emancipation proelama-
Lion was issued. They then had more volun
teers than they wanted. They issued that
proclamation volunteering ceased— and a
forced conscription is the result.
O'Connell and Slavery In America.
Few of that day but remember the wretched
absurdityaof Cobbett, in exhuming the bones of
Paine from their quietresting place on the banks
of the Hudson, with a view °busking capital,as
a politician, by presenting them before the En
glish Chartists and Liberal!!; and how utterly
he failed in his miserable purpose; and how
hastily and sneakingly he returned the perish
ing remains to a fitting sepulchre. The absurd
incident springs to mind at once on witnessing
the noisy parade made by the niggerheade over
dead O'Connell's letter, written some thirty
years since to a Cincinnati committee, on the
subject of slavery in America. Some enter
prising scion of the Abolitionists has turned
resurrectionist like Cobbett, and like him, too,
he is destined to be laughed at and contemned
for his pettrile labor.
The purpose now is to win Irishmen over to
Abolitionism, and to 'whet) them to favor the
establishment of negro equality with white
men. The same silly effort was made at the
time the letter first appeared. It was then, as
it will no* be, without success, The missive
of O'Connell fell still-born before• the Irish-
American public, which knew quite as much as
he about Degrees, and more about the practical
results of Abolitionism, than did the noisy
"Liberator". himself. They knew also that
hie fiery zeal upon this subject was generated
in the hot strife of English partisanship ; that
he took sides witt the English aristocracy,
when, under the pretence of building up the
interests of the Blacks in the British West In
dia Islands, they grossly infringed the estab
lished rights of the resident white race, and
committed robbery under the specious cloak of
humanity.
The first of the series of insolent attacks
made bygConn ell upon a country that has given
freedom and- competence to millions of down
trodden Irishmen, broke forth at a public meet
ing in the city of London, in which Sir Robert
Peel, and other English notables, participated.
The American Colonization Society was then
the burden of their heartless execrations.• A
conjunction of oppontes—O - Connell and Peel,
in abuse of America—was enough to awaken
the suspicions and censure of the quick and
ardent people of Ireland. They could never
be brought to reverence the sympathy of En
glish aristocrats in behalf of happy, plump,
well-fed Africans in America, when these aris
tocrats, at that very moment, were inflicting
martial law and drum-head court-martials on
the famishing people of Ireland, because they
were restive under a system of oppression far
more rigid , and degrading, and a hundred-fold
more lamentlible in its consequences, than any
thing which resulted from American control
over the negro.
Irishmen everywhere, up to this period, had
admired O'Connell unreservedly, and had even
laid thtsnittlita Witt a voluntary tax to make
him up a princely revenue of twenty thousand
pounds sterling per annum. But when he called
upon them to stultify themselves, in lauding
the peculiar benevolence of the English aris
tocracy toward the negroes, they soon decided
to think, sat, and speak aside from the book,
and without a master.
They saw the Monarch, the Bishops and the
Nobility of England shutting their eyes' and
ears to the unhappy pondition of a people per
ishing at their own doors, gaze with throbbing
commiseration on the distant, perhaps imagin
ary sufferings of another rase, In anothir por
tion of the world I They were not long in de
tecting and properly appreciating that false,
and heartless philanthropy which seemed ac
tually to harden the hearts of Englishmen, in
reference to the sufferings of the Matt people,
and to sanction the stern, step-dame policy
which had been pursued for ages toward that
ill-governed land. Irishmen were much too
shrewd to believe in that gracious goodnesti
which ceased to be operative precisely at the
point when personal sacrifices begin to be re
quired. To relieve the people of Ireland or
the poor, pale-faced, working paupers who en
able England to undersell the world in her man
ufactures, by their own abandonment of all
the comforts of life, demanded of swelling En
glish philanthropy sacrifices they have ever
been unwilling to make. The Church digni
taries and the Nobility, those famous champi
ons of all mankind—except the suffering poor at
their own doors—would be under the necessity
of relinquishing some very substantial advan
tages of purse and power. The other wealthy
landholders, too, and the large manufacturers,
would be called upon to pay a part of the labors
of righteousness. 0, how much cheaper was
it for all these, (as it now is for the Yankee
Abolitionists,) to neglect their own poor and
lavish their sympathies upon the distant chil
dren of Africa and the bondman. of the South.
ern States of this country ! It cost them noth
ing, and furnished them an offset in conscience
against the oppressions they were and still are
practising at hime—like that of the pious thief,
who, whenever be stole a pig, always gave
away the tail in charity !
The Irish people, and every other thoughtful
observer, could perceive more thai all this :
Sir Robert Peel, Mr. Buxton, and other states
m ni of England, from that day down to the
present, have had other motives of action, be
sides this pseudo-benevolence in behalf of our
African laborers. They have always enlarged
upon the pretended evils of slavery, and in
vested it with every imaginary horror, from a
feeling of jealous rivalry and hostility toward
this country. As soon as the mad caps of
Boston set up the standard of Abolitionism the
statesmen of England discovered that slavery
was oar weakest and most assailable point ;
that its agitation would be imminently danger•
ous to our Union, and that, withal/ it might be
presented' in !rich alerts - before the people of
England as woultj., make them hug their chains
in a fool's paradise •at home, rather than seek
an asylum upon the shores of American free
dom.
More than even this : If, aided by the efforts
of home and foreign incendiaries, they could
succeed in producing civil dissension, and,
finally, a rupture of our confederacy, another
grand object would be gaified. The cry would
resound . throughout the universe that this
great experiment of self-government had
failed, and then there would be nothing left to
mankind but a continued and contented sub
mission to the divine light of kings—the
equally divine right of an arrogant church,
and the almost equally divine right of a privi
leged aristocracy! Hence it was that at the
period we refer to, as well as ever since, the
ruling powers in England have eagerly re
joiced over, and aided in the traitorous work
of Abolitionism. They first sent a notorious
fugitive from justice, Thompson, to invite the
slaves to insurrection, murder, and a servile
war. Prom almost every meeting in Exeter
Hall, afterwards, came other emissaries red
hot with furious zeal, to light amongst us the
fires of contention and disunion. In all their
leading papers the negro in the United States
has been presented to the contemplation of the
world at large, loaded with chains and wel
tering under the lash. The real nature of hie
situation ; the social and domestic relations
subsisting between him and his master; the
comforts and immunities he enjoyed ; the light
ditties of labor required of him in return; the
obvious interest of his owner to treat him well
that he might perform those duties, and the
evidence afforded by his rapid increase that he
was well treated—all these mitigating loircum
stamen, which would have gladdened the heart
of the true philanthropist, were kept out of
view, for the purpose of throwing unmerited
obloquy on Milltond of innocent people.
We say people, for, lOU )ietd the
United States done to be singje ,gut Om the
rest of the world, as a target for the great guns
of British 'philanthropy ? We 141 indeed,
Illeeeetieuttii the slave Iftde the firatlmOment
the Constitution enabled us to do aci '; have
always refused permission to board and search
our vessels, under pretence of suiiiiressing
this trade—a pretence that had occasioned one
war with England ; the people of the South
have declined to yield to the polite and sedno
tive anathemas of both English and American
intermeddlers, who have demanded that the
Southern people should let loose upon them
selves millions of ignorant, helpless beings, to
become brutes and beggars, and a burden, or a
curse to the white citizens ; last, and worst of
.all—they have steadily rejected the sublime
doctrine and process' of amalgamation, sug
gested by Lord Grey, and revived by Wendell
Phillips. Stich are reagq the enormous offences
against the laws of God,*the rights of nature,
and the feelings of humanity, which have
brought down upon our heads the sharp satire
of Prime Minister Peel, and the burly denun
ciations of O'Connell in the past, as a nation
of "traitors and blasphemers"—"two-legged
wolves"—" monsters in human shape," and
other characteristic compliments.
We humbly ask, in our innocence, why these
self-constituted judges of the American people
forgot to denounce France, Spain and Portugal
for the same, and even greater, offences, of a
like character? They all had alaveti in their
colonies, and power over them. which our gen
eral government has net, under the Constitu
tion. But enough has already been said, we
trust, to prove that the brutal abuse lavished
upon America thirty years ago by O'Connell
was the fruit of one of his many ,idiosyncra
cies, and wholly undeserved ; that the Abell
tionists of this country hava s always been play
ing into the hands of our foreign enemies, and
with words of freedom upon their traitorous
Ups, have ever been, in the light of ieusea, its
direst foes; and, finally, that the attempt to
resurrect the black and buried abuse of O'Con
nell, with a view of affecting the coming elec
tions, it an Insult to the intelligentie and pa
triotism of every Irish-American, and every
way worthy of just such friends of Ireland
and Irishmen, as the Slievegammon editor of
the Abolition Tribune.
General Cameron
All travelers rejoice when they find an oasis
in a desert ; and in the lives and characters of
men who have little to recommend them, we
era always gra4ified to find aonathing to com
mend.
In looking over an old file we happened upon
a speech made by General Cameron in Tam
many Hall, N. Y., September, 1852, from which
we make , a few extracts. .The General said :
6 , That this enlightenei audience needed no
argument from him to convince them that upon
the success of the Democratic party and the
policy which its great men of old had indi
cated must depend, in the end, the very exist
ence• of our liberties." * * "If
the principles of government recommended by
the leaders of the Federal party had been
adopted at the formation of this Government,
the working men even herb would still be con
sidered the mere hewers of wood and drawers
of water. It was the Democratic party of this
country that had elevated the laborer, and
made labor respectable, and to the working
men must that party look for strength and
support."
These remarks were true then, and are par
ticularly applicable now. The party opposed
to the Democracy have always been in favor of
enriching the few at the expense of the many.
and the establishment of a strong gbvernment
with kingly powers, by which a (privileged
i l r
aristocracy could be built up to I rd it over
the people . The Democratic party ha e steadily
opposed all these encroachments upo the rights
of individuals, and so far have su oeeded in
maintaining them. At this time, when the
party that has always been inimical to free
dom, has accidentally obtained the reins of
power, it behooves every Democrat to use his
beat efforts to wrest them from their hantb, be
fore they have an opportunity to t Letroy our
liberties. The General further sa ;s:
, g The State of Pennsylvania has n abiding
interest in the success of Democre ie princi
ples, end the result of this Contest ill he
idie
estrous to them if the opposition p a rty should
be sustained in its accidental powe Her peo
ple feel and know this, and henc their de
termination to win the battle in October."
el
The principles of the Demoorati ' party re
main the same so they were then, and their
ascendancy at' this tithe are more essential
thalt ever for the preservation of tour rights
and liberties sad the growth &Ltd prosperity of
Penosylvania. , , , : .
that yearllB62) the DemeanMy, nerved
with the determination spoken of hy General
Cameron, went to the polls and elected Geo.
W. Woodward Judge of the Supreme Court by
over 20,000 majority; and in 1863, nerved by
a more fixed determination, because of the
greater danger to their rights, they will go to
the ballot-box and give Judge 'Woodward
100,000 majority for Governor.
Judge Woodward
In the Press . of yesterday, supposed to be
controlled if not edited by the " President's
Dog," Forney, we find the following :
In all seriousness, what evidence have we
that such a person as Mr. Justice Woodward
exists, or ever has existed ? If there is such a
man in existence why does he disguise limself
in his judicial wig, and cover himself up her
metically in his judicial ermine ?"
And this is said of a man who has been
closely identified with The history of Pennsyl
vania for more than a quarter of a century. A
man whose dignified bearing and commanding
appearance renders it impossible for any one
to ever forget him who has once stood in his
presence, and who for more than ten years, in
fulfillment of his duties as Judge of the Su
preme Court, lute traveled through all parte or
the State, and we say, without fear of contra
diction, is to-day known by more people than
any other man in the Commonwealth.
4;poti, after Judge Woodward's nomination by
the Democratic party, this same mendacious
sheet professed to be intimately acquainted
with his history, hunted it all over, and by
garbled quotations from some of his speeches,
and a misrepresentation of his sentiments, tried
to trump up some charges which, if believed,
would militate against his well-known popu
larity among the people. Failing in this, he
suddenly conceived a holy horror of having the
judicial ermine :soiled by being dragged into
the dirty pool of party politics, and said that
Judge Woodward, having accepted the nomina
tion for Governor, must necessarily stump the
State mid eihnee for his eleetien, whisk would
dishonor the Bench and be a disgrace to Penn
sylvania.
The President's dog must have drawn a
deeper draught thou usual from that inevitable
gs black bottle," and having become partially
oblivious of the past, thought his previous
article had been forgotten. The fact is, that
the dog who, from his kennel ; has been bark
ing and snarling at Justice Woodward, is pro
voked beyond measure that he will not look
down from his exalted position and notice him,
eien if it should be with a kick.
By claiming that Judge Woodward is un
known, this sly cur imagines he can induce
the Judge to fulfill his former prediction, and
on the rostrum, before the people, say some
thing at which he may cavil.
We trust that our candidate for Governor
pill not be seduced from the dignified position
ite has so far occupied since his nomination,
either •by pretended friends or open enemies.
Notwithstanding the assertion of Forney to the
contrary, the people are entirely satisfied with
what they know of Justice Woodward. His
life and character are before them and meet
their entire approbation. While they gave him
the nomination unsolicited, as a tribute to his
worth, they are ready to give him their suffra
ges in the same manner, prompted by the same
motives, and they would be sorry to see him
design , his post of duty, as has been done by
his opponent, and enter the sweltering arena
in which is to be fought the coming battle.
They want Justice Woodward for Governor,
and they will elect him by a triumphant ma
jority, but they do not desire to hear from him
any political harangues, but will rest until he
delivers his inaugural from the steps of the
Capitol.

THE LATEST FROM CHARLESTON.
FORT SUMPTER IN RUINS—CHARLESTON SHELLED

DRMANDYD—FLAG OF TRUCE FROM BEMIRE-
(MSS, *C., &C.
Nnw YORK, August 27.—The steamer Arago,
from Charleston bar on the 25th, arrived here
to-day.
The following dispatch is from C. C. Fulton,
editor of the Baltimore American :
OFF MORRIS WASP, August 24—muu.—On
Saturday, at midnight, Admiral Dahlgren, with
five Monitors, advanced in the darkness on'
Fort Sumpter, opening fire at three o'olook and
keeping it np until six o'clock. A dense fog
then arose, which shut out the fort from view.
The fort, during the five hontip fire upon it,
was struck over a hundred times, the balls
tearing through the sea wall and doubling the
number of port holes.
The whole parapet was carried away. No
signals were girt& Until the i4at opened, and
then the fire was of the most terrific descrip
tion.
Sumpter fired one gun in response four
times, but Moultrie, Gregg , and lluregard for
three hours rained shell on the bi ep knitors, fail
ing to do them any harm. , The Mot-liters were
struck seven or eight times, eta li t e one was
injured.
Sumpter is defunct, and an immense pile of rub
bish. The only gruel left was the one knocked
off the wall yesterday afternoon.
To-day the grand naval and army attack on
Forts Wagner and Gregg will be opened.,
It being now ascertained that Fort Sumpter
is defunct, the rebels will be driven from Mor
ris Island. Gen. Gilmore is determined to have
full possession of it to night.
Gen. Gilmore on Thursday notified Beaure
gard that if he did not surrender the forts lke
would shell the city within twenty-four hours.
At the same time he requested him to remove
the women and children. No attention was
paid to this notice, and on Friday night Gen.
Gilmore threw a fifteen-inch shell into Charles
ton, charged with Greek•fire.
On Saturday afternoon Beauregar4 sent
down a flag of truce, with an urgent protest,
denouncing Greek fire as a villainous compound
unworthy of civilized nations, and demanded
that more time be allowed to remove the wo
men arid children.
The English, French and Spanish consuls
also denounced the short time given by Gen.
Gilmore, and claimed more time to remove the
subjects of their respective countries. Gen.
Gilmore replied by a renewal of the demand
for a surrender of the forte and public pro
perty.
Beauregard refused by asking for a truce of
forty hours.
Gen. Gilmore refused to give any more time,
or aecept any other terms than an uncondi
tional surrender.
At 12 o'olook Wit night the shelling of the
oily with Greek fire was resumed. It is gen
erally thought that the Stars and Stripes will
wave over Fort Sunaptelr to-night.
The Monitors and Ironeideo were preparing
to go up at the hour the steamer sailed.
There is evidently great trouble in Charles
ton: It' is not believed that there are over
twenty men in the ruins of Sumpter. The Whole
rear Wall is down, and our shells pass entirely
througltlitAstrueture ,Theses wall is terribly
disfigured. All the'guna of Sumpter are now
mounted on Sullivan's Island.
The balls and shells from the Monitors went
with crushing effect into the walls of Sumpter,
and had not the fog been almost impenetrable,
Admiral Tithlgren is conviaced that he could
have destroyed the whole wall of Sumpter with
the X waiters in a few days.
The ruins of Stamptor are now held by the
gang of Fort Moultrie. There are only suffi
cient men in the ruins to keep the rebel Bag
up. The latter is shot away every few hours.
This morning the south sea wall of Sumpter
is a ruin between the front tiers of cas.ematee.
The Keokuk's gun, mounted on its walls,
was toppled into the sea by a well directed
shell, on Sunday afternoon. The end is ap
proaching. "Hail Columbia."

Chickahominy river Monday, a. in., and pro
ceeded about ten miles np, landing scouting
parties at different points along the shores,
destroying a number of small boats.
When about nine miles up the Chickattominy
then met and attacked thirty rebel cavalrymen,
belonging to Robinson's regiment. The cavalry
were repulsed—no one on our side injured.
,They then shelled and destroyed the building
used as headquarters by Col. Robinson.
They captured two men, and after obtaining
from them all the desired informatian, let
them go. The expedition returned to FortiCSS
Monroe this afternoon, having succeeded in
the reconnoissancee.
THE ARKANSAS EXPEDITION
CAIRO. August 26.—Colonel Winslow's com
mand arrived at Memphis on the 24th from
Yazoo City, having come through from Vicks
burg, via Grenada. At the latter place he met
Colonel Phillips' force, which recently de
stroyed so much railroad property. Colonel
Winslow_ brought in one hundred prisoners.
General Steele and the Arkansas expedition is
progressing finely. There has been no battle
yet, but one is in prospect.

ARMY OF THE CUMBERL AND.
PLAN OF THE NSW MOVEMENTS.
WINCHESTER, TENN., August 18.—Critten
den's corps moved eastward to feel the strength
of the enemy, and with the intention of cros
sing the mountains to the north and east of
Chattanooga, crossing the Tennessee river at a
ford some thirty miles above Chattanooga.
This crossing safely effected, Crittenden will
swing into the rear of Chattanooga, and, if
possible. take that place. The intention is to
strike that point offensively at the same time
that Burnside attacks Buckner at Knoxville
This wilt at once prevent Buckner from recie
ving any reinforcements, and also, if not cap
tured, greatly endanger his retreat, for it will
be impossible to retreat toward Bragg. Mean
while, if. Crittenden succeeds well iii his efforts
upon Chattanooga, and will not need reinforce
ments, Thomas and ill'Cook will move rapidly
upon Rome, Georgia. Bragg is at that point.
with the whole of his command, save what few
troops he may have at Chattanooga. It has
been believed for weeks that the only force at
Chattanooga is composed of Citizens, and per
haps a brigade of troops, who operate to keep
the citizens in fighting trim. It is also be
lieved that Bragg will not resist at Rome. As
ace advance, it is probable that he will attempt
to lan back upon Joe Johnston. who was posi
tivly at Atlanta, Ga., on the 12th instant.
R secrans will, if possible, whip Bragg in
detat , disperse his forces, and then attack
Jahna,on alone, for united, the two rebel armies
would Olunumber ours.
Granger's force (reserve) lies in readiness
to reinforce rapidly by rail to Chattanooga,
and, if reinfo rce
road is not destroyed, then to Rome.
Twentjr days from this time, it I mistake not
the signs will see Georgia redeemed and re
generate.

THE PROSRECT AT CHARLESTON.
It should be stated that while the authoritie4
here are gratified by the excellent progress of
our arms at Charleston, they believe that the
capture of that city cannot be immediately
affected, unless the rebels forego some of their
means of defence.
ARRIVAL OP POLITICIMIg.
There is quite an influx here of politicians,
some of whom were members of the late Con.
grant and some of the present one. It seems
to be a concerted movement to operate upon
the President to prevent the readmission of
late rebel States upon any terms. The provin
cial condition is held to be best for speculative
purposes.
THE INTEREBT ON THII PUBLIC DEBT.
At the present rato of receipts of gold for
imports—five or sir million dollars a month—
it is considered at the Treasury that there will
be no, lack of gold to pay the interest on the
public debt.
