We have been compelled to rain the clitb fillbeeription
price to one dollar and fifty cents in order to save our-
selves from actual loss. Paper has risen, including
taxes, abput twenty-five per cent., and is still tieing;
an d w hen we tell our Bemocratie friends, candidly, that
we can no longer afford to ee l s the gripikly PATRIOT AND
UNION at one dollar a year. and must add fifty cents or
stop the publication, we trust they will appreciate our
position, and, instead of withdrawing their subscrip
tions, go to work with a will to inerease ane list in every
county is the State. We have endeavored, and shall
continue our efforts, to make the paper useful es a party
organ, and welcome as a news messenger to every fam
fly. We flatter ourselves that It has not been without
some influence in producing the glorious revolution iu
the politics of the State achieved at the late election;
and If fearlessness in the discharge of duty, fidelity to
the principles of the party, and au anxisum desire to pro.
mote its interests, with Rome experience and a moderate
degree of ability, can be made serviceable hereafter, the
Weekly PATRIOT AND 'UNION Will not be less Useful to
the party or less welcome to the family circle in the fu
ture than it has been in the past. We confidently look
for increased encouragement in this great enterprise,
and appeal to every influential Democrat in the State to
lend us his aid in running our enpecription list up to
twenty or thirty tholatland. The expense to eash indi.
vides' is trifling, the benefit to the party may be great.
Believing that the Democracy of the State feel 'the ne
cessity of sustaining a fearless central organ, we make
this appeal to them for assistance with the fullest confi
dence of mecum.
The same reasons which induce ne to raise the price
of the Weekly, operate in regard to the Daily paper, the
price of which is also increased. The additional coat to
each subscriber will be but trifling; and, while we ean
not persuade ourselves that the change necessarilymade
will result in any diminution of our daily circulation,
yet, were we certain that such would be the conse
quence, we should still be compelled to make it, or suf
fer a ruinous loss. Under these ONGIMISteIIGOO we must
throw ourselves upon the generosity, or, rather, the
justice of the public, and abide their verdict, whatever
it may be.
The period for which meaty of eitt inbaelibers have
paid for their paper being on the eve of expiring, we
take the liberty of issuing this notice, reminding them
of the came, in order that they may

The following letter, declining the nomina
tion for Senator in this district, was addressed
by Mr. Alricks to the. Democratic Conferees.
There is much whaltsome truth in it, and if
carefully studied by moderate men #9 have
not yet decided how they shall vote ` t the
qpming election ,' t cannot fail to ezeircise a
healthy influence:
To Messrs. Rountfort, Kreiter and othors
I am informed that I have been unanim , oithly
'nominated by thetrentearatic Conferees cif 'this
district as a candidate for State Senatorr I
regret to say that i ani forced to decline the
nomination by reason. of an affection of my
eyes, the pain of whioh of late is greatly ag
gravated by the atmosphere of a warm or clone
room, and if elected I could not attend to the
perkrmance of my , duties. But in declining
the nomination, I maybe permitted to say that
under other circumstances , I would gladly have
accepted it, because I am persuaded that upon
the success of the Democratic party this fall ,
in a great measure depends the future peace
and prosperity of the country. It is scarcely
necessary to inquire who brought this war on
the country. History will tell that. Every
reasonable and candid man will admit thatlfor
the last fifteen years great bitterness has ex
isted between the Abolitionists of the North
and the slaveholders, of the South; and every
candid man will admit that this bitterness
finally produced the rebellion; and every hon
est man will admit that in this bitterness in
the North towards the .9oulh, the Democratic
party in the North did not participate, and if
this is true, then it is as clear as light that the
Democrats in the North had nothing to do in
bringing on this rebellion. * If history will
show one truth in regard to the rebellion, it
will ehow that the Union men in the South and
Democrats in the North are, of all men, the
most faultless in regard to this war. And this
history is written already; it is to be found in
the newspapers and pamphlets published with
in the last year. between the Lakes and the
Rio Grande; , in the speeches in Congress; in
the addresses of Smithern fireeaters and in the
lectures and sermons of the New . England
clergy. I say this hijtory is written already,
any there it stands and cannot be un-written
by any human hand- 7 -and that the, Union men
of the South and the Democrats in the North
battled long and hard, lint , unetiocessfully, to
avert the war and for the preservation of the
Union, is a fact that will. standout in futpure
hietery hold, prominent 60 distinot. •2hese
same, men are the truet,tnion men now, and I
confidently believe that if the government shall
ever lie restored, ltwill be by these same Winn
,en ; for it. ia o clear to my mind that the, Gov
ernmentcanstiot he restoredby putting down the
rebellion t edene nor even-hy extinguishing ala-,
very with it, begimile--,;igaiwi4t, lit, pnt.down we
osinnet,noutpel thi—BoutherniL Mille ,to. -.1/0d
elections for members of Congress, and send
their members on to Washington to participate
in the government ; nor can the Union men in
the South plead-with their leaders for an end
of the war co long as their leaders can point
to the North and say, "There, with the excep
tion of New York and New Jersey, is a solid
phalanx of Abolition States." But the Union
men in the South must have encouragement to
return to the Union. Let the Democratic party
this fall succeed in the heavy Northern States,
and then the Union men of the South can rise
against their present ruler's ; can point`to the
North as willing to do them justice; can lay
down their arms and return to their allegiance.
In this way, in my judgment, we
-may not only
end the war, but restore the Government in less
than six months. But if the Abolition Re,
publican party is to succeed in the North this
fall, then the Union men of the South will have
no encouragement to come back, and then I
agree with President Lincoln that we need
'not be over sanguine of a speedy final tri
mph," but this awful war may'go on for years
to come.

SATURDAY MORNING, SEPT. 26,1863.
DECLINATION OF HERMAN ALRICKS,
ESQ.
I regard the Union men of Kentucky as true
Union men, and they differ in tote with the
Presidet, in regard to the conduct of the war.
They see that the course purued is not only
for the suppressio'n of the rebellion, but for
the extinetion of slavery, and , that such a
course is not likely to restore the Government.
There the true Union men stand side by side
with the Democratic party of Pennsylvania,
and prove most clearly that we are right.
Again, in regard to the Western States, ar
bitrary arrests have been made in many in
stances which, in my opion, are totally unjus
tifiable. Of all those arrested by order of
Government, few, if any, have been tried.—
When the Constitution authorized the suspen
sion of the writ of habeas copes in time of re
bellionit authorized it in order that the prisoner
might be held for trial; not that after a man
has been arrested and imprisoned he can be
refused a trial or hearing altogether; and dis
charged without knowing why, or for what cause
lee was arrested, and at whose instance; for this
there is no shadow of law, not sanction in the
Constitution. In my judgment, such proceed
ings are little better than the rebellion itself.
It never entered the minds of those who framed
the Constitution, that all the principles in re
gard to personal security and personal liberty
which lie at the foundation of our government
should be disregarded, and private citizens ar
rested, imprisoned, and then discharged, never
to know the cause of their arrest or the name
of the informer. A man may as well be Biked
by the rebels and dragged off to Richmond, to
to be imprisoned there, as to be seized in 'his
dwelling by a file of soldiers and dragged off
to Baltimore or Fort Warren, to be imprisoned,
and afterwards discharged without a hearing.
If at►y free men are to be found willing to sus
tain such an administration, I am not one of
the number—but ; on the other hand, I hope
and trust that every Democrat in this State,
as he values his country and his liberty, will
use his "best efforts to secure the success of
the Democratic party at the approaching tied

UNION SENTIMENT AND SPIRIT IN
NORTH CAROLINA.
To show what it is within the power of the
Federal administration to accomplish by the
exercise of a liberal and just policy, instead of
the unconstitutional,fanatical policy which they
have evidently adopted and declare their in
tention to adhere to, we subjoin, from the Ra
leigh (North Carolina) Standard, the pronceed
ings of several meetings held in different por
tions of that State. We are sure our readers
will thank us for giving them the opportunity
of looking over these proceedings and seeing
the practical workings of the Union sentiment
which is so rapidly spreading in one of the
largest and most important States of the.Con
federaey. North Carolina once detached from
the rebellion and brought back into the Union,
the Confederacy would not hold together three
months ; and this the Federal administration
has within its power to accomplish by simply
receding from its present policy and adopting
sound, statesmanlike, patriotic, national views.
Their failure'to do so, at a moment so oppor
tune, will be recorded against them as the
greatest blunder and most unpardonable crime
of their ruinous and wicked reign :
In glancing through the columns of the
Standard the eye first strikes "Public Meeting
in Orange county," The proceedings are
signed by John C. Sykes, chairman, and An
derson P. Cotes, secretary. The main burden
of the preamble and resolutions is in denun
ciation of the treatment of.. North Carolina by
the Confederate Government, and then comes
the following:
Resolved, That enough blood and treasure
have been sacrificed in this cruel war to prove
that fighting will not accomplish the desired
end.
Resolved, That we are in favor of negotiation,
and that the people both North and South
should at onto 6eltot the ablest and most. un
prejudiced stalesinen from amongst them to
meet in Peace Convention of the two sections,
to make an aoneet, patriotic, Christian effort
ss brethern to put a stop to the present cruel,
savage, and unchristian war.
Resolved, That we will cast our suffrages for
no man to represent us in the Congress of the
Confedprate States who declares himself op
posed to negotiation and a general Peace con
vention.
Yadkin county comes next, and the proceed
ings, as in ease with all the others to which
we shall refer, ere given in detail, and prop
erly signed by the officers. We quote from the
resolutions :
Resolved, That we have been carried out of
the United States by a minority vote ; ani that
s
we' onsider the tithing law unfair and unjust,
an i that we are not bound to pay it..
olvecl, That the Davis administration hav
ing called upon the Governor for seven, thou
sand militia, we deem it unjust to the best in
terest of the State that any more troops be fur
nished until other States have furnished their
just poles - of men.
Resolved, That we favor a proposition of
peace to the enemy upon such terms as will
guarantee to us our rights upon an eqality
with the North.
Resolved, That we are opposed to any alli
ance or annexation to England or France, or
any monarchy whatever. We are aleo in fa
vor of a free apeech and a free press.
Resolved, That as President Davis has called
upon the Governor of North Carolina for all
eenseripts from the age of eighteen to forty
fire, we deem it unjust to the best interests of
the State for any more troops to be furnished.
Resolved, That we are in favor of a, Peace
Convention, to be composed of delegates from
all the States, elected by the people, to meet
soon in'convention, to make a good and per
manent peace.
Resolved, That we are in favor of an imme
diate armistice, that this bloody and desolating
war, which has already caused the death of so
many hundreds of thousands of poor unpre
pared mortals, who have left behind them so
many millions of mourning widows and or
phans, and which has brought this once happy
and free people incalculable loss and irretrieva
ble woes, and degraded us in the estimation of
all Christian people the world over, immedi
ately cease.
Resolved, That, in our opinion, under present
and prevailing circumstances, the - best thing
the people of North Carolina can do is to go
in for the prineiples of Washington, Jefferson,
Madison, Monrop, Jackson, Szt., and for the
Constitution as it is.
Resolved, That we are opposed to the con
tinuance of this unholy war to the destruction
of our lives and property.
Resolved, That we are in favor of any peace
that will secure our rights and which will not.
tern' to enslave us.
Resolved, That we agree to abide by a ma
jority of the votes of North Carolina in any plan
that may be devised in Convention assembled
er otherwise.
Resolved, That we hereby pledge our sacred
horor and property for the maintenance of any
honorable effort that will secure to the people
of the State a speedy peace.
Resolved, That. the President having called
upon us for more men, , ‘Pe deem it detrimental
to the best interests of the State that any more
troops be furnished, as we believe too many
have already gone from this part of the State.
[Catham, Montgomery, and Alleghany coun
ties pass resolutions similar to those last
quoted.]
•
Resolved, That this unnatural war has been
waged long enough without material advan
tage to either side, and we would most ear
nestly appeal to the friends of suffering hu
manity throughout the State to' use their
utmost efforts to procure as speedily as possi
ble an honorable and lasting peace.
Resolved, That the present bloody and inhu
man war has raged long enough without any
profit or material advantage to either the
North or the South ; we, therefore, call upon
our representatives in the next Congress to
use their utmost endeavors to obtain a oessa
sion of hostilities and a termination of our
present struggle in a just, honorable and last
ing pain,

g‘ COPPERHEAbS,
From the Boston Courier
. .
If the term c opperhead-implies, as we sup
pose, all those who are not itepublicans, there
are, as is well known, a very large proportion
in our armies which would certainly come un
der the designation thus opprobriously applied
to them. In general the 6 , thinking bayonets"
in our armies are most likely to be copper
heads,"
as that term is used to describe the
friends of the Constitution and Union. We
believe it is because they are espeeially such
in the Army of the .Potomao that it has been
treated so shabbily by the Administration.
We find, in confirmation of our views, the
following article in the Troy PTISS, by which
it appears that a Democrat in the Army of the .
Potomac is a copperhead ; and that this class
does the fighting :
O.COITEHHEADS" IN THE
.ARMY.
A friend who has just received an interest
ing letter from the army permits us to make
the following extract from it. It shows *hat
kind of men are fighting the battles of the
country :
CAMP, U. S. Vols., Aug. 23, 1863
Dear
I have written several letters, but can get no
answer at all. 'lna ie the matter with all the
folks Have l theY beeb drafted'?
They say that there was a riot in Troy a short
time ago, and that the Copperheads did it all.
I don't know what you call a Copperhead in
Troy, but in thd army of the Potomac, if a roan
says he is a Democrat, he is, called a Copper
head. That is the name I go by altogether
now.
But if Demoerats are all Copperheads, and
called traitors, they are allA h at can be found
to fight, for t he very ones who were strong Re
publicans, fell out on the march before we got
to Gettysburg, and the Copperheads had to do
all the fighting.
Our Colonel was a good Democrat, and he
got killed.

Two of these "traitorous" Copperheads offi
cers in that same army, called upou us no
longer ego than yesterday. They °uproot:al
'the same sentiments, and more. of them, to be
read in the above letter. They particularly
mentioned a late visit Of Mr.: SenaterAfilson
to that army, and deelaredAlutkaaliiiinkit

which his presence &ere web•regarded.
ANOTHER OEFTRAON,..47O received informs.
tion on Monday afternoon of .a transaction in
which the provost guard has been guilty of
another outrage, growing out of the following
circumstances eon of Robert 7.llMSeyr
of Donegal township, was drafted. &Ad duly re
ported himself with papers properly drawn
up, signed' nd witnessed to secure his etentp
tion—he being under twenty years of age.—
This was all satisfactory to the marshal and .
the board, who ordered his discharge
_papers
made out, which was accordingly done, when
the young man returned home with .the die
charge papers in his pocket. On Monday last,
just as he was dismounting' from his team, he
was seized, by two armed men—members of
the provost guard—and ordered to come along
with them. Re remonstrated with them, pro
duced his discharge and informed them that
he was under the age required by law to come
within the limits of the draft. They rudely
gad yielently refused to heed his remonstran
ees.
He was instantly and cruelly handcuffed and
dragged to Stahlstown, there 'bound to
another man, and the two brought to Greens
burg. On being eonfrorited by the • Provost
Marshal, he again produced his papers of ex
emption. Ile was informed that'through neglect
of the clerks, the record of his discharge and
the reasons therefor, were not entered on the
books, and for thisle was so ruthlessly drag
ged from . his home—a subject of Abolition
tyranny and abuse. Under the late prochima
tion of the President this respectable young
white man was withtint legal 'redress for as
outrage, half of which done' to a rttnaWity ne
gro would make the whole Abolition.peck howl
with horror.—Greensbury Republican, 23.
AMINEIf or AN Ex-PROVOST MARSHAL. —EN-
Provost Marshal Strachan, late of Palmyra,
Mo., was arrested in Quincy, 111., on the 9th
inst., by order of the Provost Marshal General
of St. Louis, &radian is charged with em
bezzling some .$20,000 of the 'funds of the
Government while 'acting as Provost Marshal
at Ptilmyra. The Quincy Herald .charges that
Strachan induced CI M'Neil to shoot the ten
guerrillas in retaliation for the murder of an
old man, about a year ago. It says : "In
this transaction Strachan , got himself into a
serious scrape, for which he was a few days
since indicted by. the *rand Jury of Marion
county. On the morning appointed Air the
shooting of Wise ten men, the wife of one of
the men thus condemned to be shot, came to
Palmyra six little children, called upon
Strachan, told him her husband was condflined
to be shot that day, and that those were her
children—that if her husband shoild be mnr-
Tiered she would be unable to support the chil
dren; and begged the lnhuman wretch, with
big tears in. her eyes, to release him from the
sentence.
Strachan at first refused,- but the poor wo
man's importunitise were 00 keteletent that be
finally told her if she would raise him $5OO,
and permit hint to ttie her, he would reletise
her husband. The 'Waif-broken woman can
