"Slavery can be limited to its present bounds;
it can ne ameliorated. It can be, and it must
be abolished, and you and I can and must do
it. The task is simple, awl as easy as its con
summation will be beneficent and its rewards
glowing. It only requires to follow this simple
rule of action : To dO everywhere and on every
occasion what we can, and not to neglect or
refnue to do what we can, at any time, because
at that precise time, and on that particular oc
casion, we cannot do more. Circumstances de

" 00nect your own error, that slavery has
any constitutional guarantees which may not
be
IbilL released, and ought not to be relinquished."
Massachusetts' Representative in Congress,
January Bth, 1842, John Q. Adams, presented
a petition to Congress for a dissolution of the
Union, and eloquently supported that infamous
petition, to dissolve the Union, declaring that,
"if there is a principle sacred on earth, and
established by our Declaration ofludependene,
it is the right of the people to alter, to change,
to destroy the government. if it becomes op
pressive to them." And this treasonable pe
tition and disunion speech was supported and
advocated by his colleague, Edward Everett, of
Massachusetts, who uttered this treasonable
language : "If the doctrine of that resolution
(to expel the Massachusetts disunionist from
Congress) was carried out, it would produce a
revolution by force—peaceably if they can,
forcibly if they must! If no peaceable mode
could avail for the redress of grievances, that
should become intolerable, it must be done by
force." Congressional Globe, voL xi, page

Sumner, from Massachusetts, in proving
Southern men to be "uncivilized," "barbari
ans," •robbers," &c., said, in the Senate of
the United States, "they must be driven like
rats into their holes."
Lovejoy,•in the House, and the Helper book
advocated the Massachusetts Senator's plan of
"driving them like rats into their holes," by
cutting off all intercourse, social, political and
religious, and putting a knife in the slaves'
hands to cut their masters' throats..
These threats were sanctioned by the signa
tures of
. 67 members of Congress, and tiov
ernors and other prominent members of the
party, paid their money to have them sown
broadcast over the land.
And these speeches were reproduced with
the most embittered exaggerations, in the Tri
bune (with its million readers,) and in the col
umns of the Republican newspapers_
After the election Nov. 9, 1860, a Senator of
Massachusetts, Mr. Wilson, said, "we have at
length succeeded ; we have our feet upon the
neck of the South, and we will crush them
out," "we will grind them to powder I"—and
hie threats were met with the most vociferous
applause by an immense Massachusetts assem
blage.
"We confess that we intend to trample under
foot the Constitution of this country. Daniel
Webster says :
"Yon are lair abiding people; that the glory
of New England is, that it is a law abiding
community." Shame on it, if this be true :
if even the religion of New England sinks as
low as its statute book. But I say we are not
a law abiding community. God be thanked
for it ?"—Wendell Philips.
CENTRALIZATION THE DOCTRINE OF A
"STRONGER GOVERNMENT."
" The central idea, in our political opinion,
at the beginning was, and, until recently, con
tinned to be, the equality of men_ And, al
though it was always submitted patiently to,
whatever inequality there seems to be as a
matter of actual necessity, its constant work
ing has been a steady progress towards the
practical equality of all men.
•• Let past differences as nothing be; and,
with steady eye on the real issue, let us inau
gurate the good old central ideas of the repub
lic. We can do it. The human heart is with
us God is with us. We shall again be able,
not to declare that all the States, as States, are
equal, nor yet, that all citizens, as citizens,
are equal; but renew the broader, better decla
ration, including both these and much more,
that all men are created equal.—A. Lincoln—
epeeeh delivered Sept. 16, 1856.
" What a commentary upon the history of
mso ito the fact that, eighteen years after the
death of John Quincy Adams, the people have
for their standard bearer, Abraham Lincoln,
confessing the obligations of the Higher Law
which the Sage of Quincy proclaimed, and con
tending for weal or woe, for life or death, in
the irrepressible conflict between freedom and
slavery. I desire only to say that we are in the
last stage of the conflict, before the triumphal
inauguration of this policy into the government
of the United States."— Win. H. &ward.
The Secretary of State, while endeavoring
to vindicate the vitality of the Federal govern
ment to Lord Lyons, illustrated his position by
saying
My Lord, I can touch a bell on my right
hand and order the arrest of a citizen of Ohio.
I can touch the bell again and order the im
prisonment of a citizen in New York, and no
power on earth but that of the President can
release them. Can the Queen of England, in
her dominions, do as much ?—Secretary Sew

THIS AMEBSCA7I FLAG.
All hail the flaunting Lie

Ths stripes are bloody settra—
A Lie the Taunting hymn.
It shields a pirate's deck,
It binds a man in chains,

And wipes the bloody stains.
Tear down the flaunting Lie !
Half-mast the starry flag !
Insult no sonny sky
With hate's pollated rag!
Destroy it ye who can !
Deep mink it in the waves !

To groan with fellow-slayes
Furl, furl the boasted Lie !

"The gentleman mud remember , that in the

Huntingdon County.
Wm. J. Baer, Esq., the able and active nomi
nee Of the Democratio party i 9 the Bedford,
Somerset and Huntingdon district for Senate,
has been making his presence felt in the latter
county. Having stirred up the Democrats and
shaken the " dry bones" of the Abolitionists
in Somerset and Bedford, he has recently lieen
giving the good people of Huntingdon a speci
men of his ability as a stump orator, and we
are happy to hear has left a good impression
wherever he has been. On the 4th he addressed
a spirited meeting of Democrats at Wilsontown,
in the upper end of and on Satur
day, the sth, another meeting of the Demos•
racy of Morris, Franklin and Warriorsmark,
at Spruce Creek, in both instances with great
effect, We are glad to @Ca the Democracy of
Huntingdon aroused and at work. Wm. J.
Baer should be elected to the Senate—he is a
good man in every respect—his moral character
is sound, and mentally we questiOn whether
there is in the district another man better
qualified for the pOsition of Senator. If the
Democrats of Huntingdon work earnestly and
all the time, they may not only elect Mr. Baer,
but a portion at least of their county ticket.
Let " Work and Vigilance" be the motto from
this to the close of the election.
In reference to Mr. Baer's speech at Spruce
Creek, the Monitor says :
He answered the charge that Judge Wood
ward was opposed to the soldier, by showing
that it was the Republicans that first contested
the right of the soldiers to vote, and that Judge
Woodward's decision ousted a Democratic
sheriff, in Philadelphia, and put a Republican
in, and that that decision was Strongly en ,
dotted by Judge Read, a Republican member
of the Supreme Bench. The speech was one of
great force, and its positions were unanswera
ble."
The County Tickets.
What is said of the Democratic candidates
by a paper that habitually shuns the truth, is
of little consequence in a community where its
character is well known. We propose to con
duct the county election without asperity and
without injustice to any one.
rzrz vemprrhtt - B6 Pt* ABSEMOLIe.
We shall not dispute about the valor of Lt.
Col. Alleman, the Abolition candidate for As
sembly ; that is a point the soldiers who served
under him can best testify to—but, setting
aside his soldierly qualities, which at the best
fall short of Capt. Alm's, and coming square
ly to the true test, qualification for member
ship of the Legislature, the man must be
numskull, insincere, or insane who would ven
ture to deny the mast preponderance of the
latter. It ie, in fact, not a question for sensi
ble men to discuss—it is too apparent to need,
investigation—and the same may be said in
reference to Mr. ZEIGLER, the other Democratic
candidate for Assembly and his opponent, Mr.
Kaiser. We have no fear that anybody worth
minding—anybody but a hired electioneerer or
office-seeking demagogue, will risk his reputa
tion by denying, or even doubting that, in
point of ability and substantial merit, the
Democratic nominees for Assembly far excel
those on the Abolition ticket.
THE HIERIETALTIC
We are told that the Abolitionists have a
valiant soldier, a business man of interity as
their candidate for the sheriffalty, while the
Democratic candidate is " a retired horse in
spector" and an "uncompromising Copper
head." We grant all that is said of Col. Jen
nings as a soldier, and we have no reason to
doubt his integrity. But this does not invali
date what we said yesterday, that on the score
of competency we oluimeil eupertority for our
candidate, JOHN RAYMOND, and in every other
respect, except military service, equality at
least. However creditable it may be to Col.
Jennings that he served in the army and be
haved gallantly, that does not prove he is as fit,
or fitter for the office than Jona RAYMOND, who
is a man of very large business experience and
of far more than ordinary ability. In fact the
pressing of Col. Jennings on the ground of
military service, is very much like begging
from the gratitude of the people support which
could not be claimed, and would not be given,
on the ground of superior qualification and
adaptation for the office. But the people of
Dauphin county are well acquainted with Mr.
ItexstoND, and we presume to some extent also
with Col. Jennings, and we can safely trust the
choice to their discretion and judgment.
COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
The Democratic candLiates for County Com
missioner are T. A. HAMILTON, of Harrisburg,
for three years, and JACOB HUM, of Upper
Paxton, for one year. The Abolitionists have
nominated R. W. 11I'Clure, of Harrisburg, for
three years, and Henry Hartman, of Washing
ton, for one year. These are all very respeo
tOle gentlemen. Qf cur candidates we can
say, conscientiously, that we do not think gen
tlemen more unexceptionable, or better quali
fied for an intelligent discharge of the very
important duties of the office which they have
been chosen to fill could have been selected. It
is an office which requires brains, business
tact, and the strictest integrity. All these the
Democratic candidates possess. There is re
formation needed in the office, too. Under
Democratic influences that reformation will be
effected. Under Abolition influence it will
not; for no candidates elected by that party,
we care not who they may be, er how spotless
their charcter, dare venture to go one step be
yond the routine prescribed by those who rule
the party and fatten on the spoils of office.
This is a fact well known to the people of
Dauphin county, and consequently their inter
ests; if nothing else, will prompt them to vote
for, and use their influence to elect Messrs.
HAMILTON and BUM
RECORDER.
Then as to the candidates for Recorder:—
The Democrats made a most excellent choice
in the selection of JAMBS HORNING—they could
not have done better—everybody says so—in
fact there is not a better man in the county
for the position. Mr. Ringland, the Abolition
candidate, is a very good man—for that party
Ivory creditable selection ; but he sinks in
comparison with HORNING. It is unfortunate
for him that he has to run against such an op
ponent ; but after the election he will have this
consolation, that defeat by such a man involves
no disgrace.
COUNTY TREASURER.
Dr. DAVID lIMBERGER is the Democratic
candidate for County Treasurer, and whoever
knows him will say that a better selection for
the office could not have been made. In every
respect qualified, a very intelligent and worthy
man, he comes fully up to Jefferson's test—he
is honest, he is capable. With his Abolition op
ponent, Mr. Hershey, we have no acquaintance
—the name is familiar to us, and we have no
doubt the owner of it is a good and a respect
able citizen ; but we will not suppose that even
his most particular friend, if acquainted with
both the men, and capable of judicious dis
crimination, would claim for him equality in
point of qualification with Dr. UMBERGED. We
urge thig point as one deserving the consider
ation of the people. In the selection of a
County Treasurer the people cannot be too
discriminating in their choice. The office
should be filled by the best man in the field,
an d , „ vca ti o btogy, Dr. DIADP.RDER is that
man.
DIRECTOR OF THE, POOR
Our candidate for Director of the Poor is
Joan DUCK, of West Hanover, a gentleman
with whom we have no personal aequantance,
but who is spoken of by those who know him
well, as othe right man" for the place, fully
competent to discharge well all the duties of
the position, and who will discharge them
faithfully. That reformation in the adminis
tration of the affairs of the Poor House is
greatly needed, is shown by a recent report of
the Grand Jury of this county and well known
to every one acquainted with th e management
of the institution under Abolition influence.
We want Mr. Buck's services to bring about
the needed reform, and for that purpose the
people should elect him. We have no doubt
that in this business he would be much more
earnest and efficient than his Abolition oppo
nent, John Kreamer, who could only act under
the counsel and direction of those'who are in
terested in keeping things as they are.
COUNTY AUDITOR.
For Auditor, a very important office, the
Convention nominated Velure McConxicrc, of
Harrisburg, as the Democratic candidate. To
him no one can take exception. It will be
universally acknowledged by even his bitterest
political opponents that there is not a flaw in
him—that he is peculiarly qualified in all re
spects, and that the interests of the county
would be eubserve4 by hie election, We shall
not undertake to compare him with Mr. Mcll
henny, because, however worthy the latter
may be, the superior fitness of Mr. McCormick
is too great to admit of a comparison with his
Abolition opponent. The good sense of the
people will select Mr. McCormick as the proper
man for the position.
Homing the advantage both in point of quali
fications and principle over the Abolition nomi
nees, there is no good reason to doubt the
election of all the Democratic candidates.
The income Tax.
We were in error in our remarks the other
day in reference to the five per cent. tax on
income. That tax will be levied only on all
incomes which, after the deductions allowed by
law are made from the gross amounts returned,
exceed $lO,OOO. We misunderstood the law
at first reading, and our statement then was in
accordance with our misconception of it, and
consequently incorrect. On all incomes which
exceed $6OO, and do not exceed VAN% after
the deductions from the gross amounts re
turned3' the tax is three per cent.
Although the Assessor is now distributing
circulars, we have reason to believe that the
distribution is partial—confined principally to
Democrats and those Abolitionists who are
known to be too firmly attached to the party
to be affected by any measures of the Admin
istration, however oppressive.

PLE, &O.
CINCINNATI, Sept. 6.—A dispatch, dated
Knoxville, Sept. 6 7 says
The great campaign of the war is over. We
are in full possession of East Tennessee—a
great, bloodless victory. The campaign was
skilfully planned and energetically executed.
Such was the rapidity of our movements that
the rebels, taken unawares, fled before us
without destroying property. At Loudon they
attempted to hold the bridge, but the impetu
osity of the second Tennessee regiment broke
them to fragments. Three steamboats, three
locomotives and a large number of cars were
captured there. The whole march of our army
was a perfect ovation, and our entry into
Knoxville an event long to be remembered.
Thousands of people of every age, size, color
and condition lined the way and their shouts
and tears intermingled with martial music,
and joy reigned supreme.
Col. Gilbert has been appointed Military
Governor, and Gen. Carter Provost Marshal
General f East Tennessee.
A second dispatch says : « Our right wing
is within easy reach of Gen. Rosecrans' left.
The rebels regarded our expedition as a. raid
until the last moment. The march of two hun
dred and fifty miles was a hard one, but was
conducted in good order. Our trains are all
well up with their columns."

CHAIRMAN, &C
ST. Louis, Sept. 10.—The meeting at Paola
yesterday was organized by appointing Lieut.
GOY. Osborne chairman. The crowd in atten
dance numbered over 3,50 armed men. Many
were prevented from coming by Gen. Scho
field's order and the rain shower.
Gen. Lane was introduced, and spoke in the
Open air for three hours. The rain POUred
down incessantly. He was very bitter on Gen.
Schofield, and the Gamble resolutions were
adopted, declaring that the policy now forced
upon Missouri and Kansas, is one which well
give immunity to the rebel sympathizers, and
expose loyalists to massacre ; that clemency
to guerrillas and rebels is cruelty to loyalists.
