If any state. meat, such as that alluded to, appeared in the PATRIOT AND UNION, it must have been as an item of news, clipped from some exohange pa per, or as a telegraphic dispatch, as we have not the faintest recollection of ever seeing it.

The " unqaistioWng".• ,. l:MpOrters:4 Lincoln claim to be the os4 lciyaft men lathe cotin try. Let ne see in what their loyalty consists. Lincoln has shown his loyalty by violating his oath of office, by trampling the Constitu tion and laws under foot,,ity _sanding tenant' thousands of white men to slaughter, for the avowed purpose of setting the negroes free and making them 'the equals, socially and politi sadly, of their white liberators, by virtually subverting the Government for the sake of con centrating all power in his hands, in short by every aot of oppression and lawlessness that a tyrant could commit, and which only a tyrent and traitor would commit. Curtin has shown his loyalty by obsequious obedience to Lincoln in all things demanded by him, by endorsing Stanton's . arbitrary ar rests and by volunteering his support of that officer in continuing and extending them, by furnishing, through his.friends, shoddy cloth ing to Pennsylvania soldiers, by enabling mam moth railroad corporations and side specula tors to swindle the Commonwealth out of fif teen or twenty millions of dollars, and by other similar sots. Thousands of the most load and foulmouthed Abolitionists have conclusively proven their loyalty by Pobbing the U. S. Treasury of mil- Ilene upon milllons of dollars since the war began, which they are so anxious to continue; Thad. Stevens proves his loyalty by ex claiming, "God forbid" that "the Constitution" should be , presorted, or "the Union" restored. Many have proved their loyalty by "thank ing God that the Federal forces were beaten at Bull Run," because a victory then might have ended the war and restored the Union without emancipating the Waves. A fellow named Wm. H. Armstrong, bases his claim to loyalty upon an assertion he made in a recent speech, "that it was better to lose a battle in the field than the election in Penn sylvania." Jim Lane, the Kansas ruffian, is loyal be cause he swore the "Union was played ont." Lovejoy, because he would ‘, 4 spit upon the Constitution." Greeley, because he published in the Tribune that the flag of the Union, the glorious Stara and Stripes, was Haunting lie." And so on to the end of the chapter. An Abolitionist or Black Republican cannot be found, from Lincoln down to Curtin, and from Curtin down to his shoddy friends, whose "loyalty" is not the very rankest disloyalty, who is not opposed to the Constitution end the Union, and consequently an enemy of his conn• try and her institutions—working to betray them, and loudly proclaiming his "loyalty" to cover the infamous design. Snyder County Alive—Great Dermocratic Meeting at Middleburg. We are gratified to learn, from an entirely reliable source, that the Democracy of Snyder county—and, we may add, Union—are alive, active, bold and determined. The meeting held at 'Middleburg on Tuesday last was a rouser,in numbers exceeding the most sanguine anticipations. Our informant assures us that there were not less than two thousand present, and the spirit of the people was excellent. Two *reeks after the call for the Democratic meeting was issued, the Abolitionists, as if in= stigated by the spirit of mischief, and seeking a disturbance, issued a cat for a meeting of their party at the same plat* on the, same day. Both meetings were, accordingly, held. The Abolitionists erected their stand in the same street and near the spot on which the Demo crats had raised theirs. Seeing the disposition of their opponets to create a row thus plainly evinced, the Democrats retired to a grove near the town, and everything passed' off peaceably., Their meeting, we are informed, was much larger than that of the Abolitionists, and the Democrats feel sanguine of making great in roads upon the strength of their enemies at the approaching elemion. At all events they are determined to make a big effort in that direction, and we know they have the sagacity and the pluck to accomplish a great deal when they put themselves to the work in earnest. The speakers on the occasion were IL Clay Dean, Eeq , of lowa, and Gen. Wm. H. Miller, of this city. Both speakers are said to have acquitted themselves admira bly, leavingii most favorable impression upon their auditors, and infusing into them fresh zeal and energy. There will be no shrinking from duty on the part of the Dernocrats, of Snyder and Union, we are well satisfied. They have put their shoulders to the wheel and they will not slacken their efforts until they are crowned with victory on the 13th of October. The Renegade MaeDowell. The gay colonel appears to be on a regular stumping tour in behalf' of his new friends, the Shoddy men. He held forth at Johnstown on the evening of the 28th, and is thus noticed the Democrat of the 30th A Ilmnechtng.—The renegade, Tom MacDo,- ell, spoke for about twenty-five minutes at the "Loyal League" Hall, on Monday night. In the course of his remarks he said that he "did not care which way the war would end, he now had enough to emigrate to another country and to support his wife and family during their lives."'This, taken in connection with the fact that he showed a handful of greenbacks at a public house here, and remarked that was what he was speaking for, illustrates at once the reasons he has for ecoming one of the "loyal." Tom hasialways been a leech, and the evidence of the party with whom he is now operating proves himself to be one of the most corrupt men in the State. Greenbacks must be exceedingly lush when such men--.the dregs of the market—are bought up. State Rights. In August, 1867, When Ahe Ohio Abolition ists were on the point of resisting Federal. authority by forenof arms, Hon. B. P. CnAss, then 11. 8. Senator, ) and now Secretary of the Treasury under Lincoln, used the following language in a public speech : - "We have rights which the Federal Government must not invade—rights superior to its power, on which our sovereignty depends, and we do mean to assert these rights against all tyrannical assump tions of authority. " NOW, under the administration of Lincoln, Chase, & Co., the doctrine of State Rights is scouted, and State authority treated with-eon tempt Centre County. Whatever may have once been the home influ ence of Andrew G. Curtin, it is timir evidently oe the wane. In his younger days, before the taint of corruption had touched him, or ere the coun sel and'exampin of bad men had taken hold fa big Jo Memo I:dingo Which gnstly iissiatetbim ieaching the elevated position whit:knew, Wtite mortification and disgrace of Pennsylitnia, he . holds. By his crooked course and dishonest practices, by his intimatti association with venal and tricky politicians, speculators and corruptionists,he has,in a great measure, lolsi.that infittenee—and he feels the loss sensibly. He intends now—being again a candidate—to win back what he has forfeitsil, at any cost; and he and the party friends who still adhere to his sinking fortunes, will make every possible effort and use every means at their command to effect this object. He wants a majority in Centre county—his election with out that; would not fill the measure of his sat isfaction. Under these oircumstiinces, Centre county, in this contest, becomes an important point, which must not be neglected. With abun dance of means at command, Curtin will not lack assistance. The Federal Administration will supply him with any number of orators from its long lest of unemployed officers, and the shoddy men, who have robbed the treasu ry and cheated the soldiers, through his favor, will bleed freely in his cause. This being the me, any sod:Lance or -n -00tiragelnetet Whieh can be renaerzu in Centre by their out , ' 'l..etbren. should be freely extended to them. Last year Centre Game up to the work earn estly, and gave SLINKIR, Democrat, for Audi tor General, 881 majority. The Democracy of the county are working hard to keep it up to that mark, and go beyond it if possible. For this noble ambition they deserve the thinks and. prides of their follow Democrats of other couVes, and all the aid that can be given them to carry` out theit intention successfully. There le one way, it strikes us, in which such assistance can be cheaply rendered, and we have no doubt it would be gratefully re ceived. There is to be a grand mass meeting of, the friends of the Constitution and the Union—the true Democraoy—at Bellefonte, on Saturday, October 8. That meeting should be large;be. yond the capacity *of Centre county to make.it. It should be a telling demonstration of the popu lar feeling, sentiment and spirit, such el would administer a withering rebuke to Andrew G. Curtin and his mercenary followers. In con sideration of all this, as well as for the happy effect it cannot fail to have elsewhere, we re commend to the Democrats of the adjoining counties, as well as to those still further off, who can possibly do so, to attend that mass meeting, and, by their presence, give the en. couragement and add the weight which is ne cessary to swell the majority of 831 last year to a round 1,000 this year. THE SPIRIT OF THE DEMOCRACY will not be quenched by persecution or abuse. It is not to bo illsouragod by the not difficulties wkich hedge it, in its glorious mission to restore this land to its old footing of constitutional law and liberty. It appreciates the terrible power which io terribly wished by its oppencnts— power given for another purpose—but it does not despair, through the innate - virtue'of the people and the awakening intelligence of the people, of overcoming all these extraordinary means levelled against it, and of finally saving the institutions which our fathers bequeathed us. The Republican party is committing politi cal suicide_ It gloats in the idea that it is ab. sorbing for all time in itself the management of this great nation. It will Wake up' from this feverish dream, as the Turk awoke; who according to our American poet, sawin visions of the night, a proud people bending in sup pliance to his brutal behests, only it will not be the clash of arms but the dropping of thou sands of ballots that will disturb this frantic faction from its drunken repose. Let ns be of good sober solid hope. The great masses of this republic have not grown indifferent to the government of their fathers. They will, in their own good time, rescue it, though every hour of the day should witness a new •decree, unwarranted by our laws, issued from the foolish counoile•of the Capitol. The dawn is at hand. Be hopeful Be reeolute Be vigilant IL --Plain Dealer. , Tug APYANTAGE or Boszoompe Pefeet— Enough of Rosecrans' army was detached and sent into Ohio to electioneer and vote against Vallandigham to have insured us a victory over Bragg had they remained in the field and participated in the Chickamauga fight. Ten thousand killed and wounded, millions of stores and scores of guns lost, a disastrous retreat, new inspiration to the rebels, are the price which the administration pays for the political advintage of the defeat of the Ohio Democracy. There are those who will think that the busi ness of the army is in the field, and that the less Mr. Lincoln and Mr Stanton mix in poli tics and strive to influence State elections the better for their present success and future wel fare. Bat it is plain that the President and the Secretary of War estimate differently , po litical advantages, and think a shameful defeat to our armies and the loss of hundreds of lives a cheap price to paT for winning a State elec tion. That, this is their view of the use no one will deny who considers that not one sol dier has been sent out of Ohio, in spite of the pressing danger of Rosecrans. His reinforce ments will be drawn from other quarters till the Ohio election is over, in spite of the in creased distance, time, expense and peril.—N. Y. World. Tan BORDER Taomas.—The threat of Jim Lane to make the border counties of Missouri a desert, has, it seems, been carried out to the very letter. Order No. 11 of General Ewing, the incendiary speeches of Lane and Jennison, and the incursions of the Abolition iired legs," jayhawkers and thieves has had the effect of ( _depopulating all the counties bordering upon Kansas. Bo terrified were the inhabitants, that as a general thing they left their house hold goods behind them, and made the best of their way east, north and south. The Bt. Louis papers state that at last accounts the Kansas people from over the border, instead of helping their distressed neighbors, were help ing themselves to their furniture aud gooo. Rapine and spoliation reigned supreme all along the border, in which the Missourians were the sole suff erers. This state of affairs shows the beauties of the rule of these Kansas and Missouri radicals. They are eternally clamoring for severe meas ures; nothing will put down the rebellion, they claim, but ca stern and pitiless policy.— They have certainly simeeded in restoring quiet to the border counties, but it is the quiet of the grave. A deputation of these radicals from Kansas and Missenni waited upon Mr. Lincoln, in Washington, yesterday, to indnao him to give them complete power over those two States. - If they sacceed, farewell to lan, order and eivilization in all the. trona-Madg -e:n."7 ration.— WO.lOl TO NATURALIZED CITIZENS AND TROSE WHO HOPE TO BECOME 80.

I would not extend it ono hour beyond - the period now axed by law. You may make what use of your question and answer that you please. Very truly yours, GEO. W. WOODWARD. .• That, we think, is concise and conclusive.— Nothing more can be desired on that point. But let us see how the Harrisburg "jobber," tbat is too corrupt for Stanton to associate with—let us see how he stands about the natu ralization question : In 1853 he swore solemnly : "I will not vote nor give my influence for any man for any of fice in the gift of the people, unless he be an American born eitizen in favor of Americans ruling America, nor if he be a Roman Catho lic" The Know Nothing rarty, into which Mr. Curtin thus swore himself, is now dead, in name, but not in fact. They elected Mr. Pol lock Governor, and Mr. Curtin was made bis secretary. Now remember that Mr. Curtin has not retracted one syllable of that oath.— He adheres to every word of it to this hour. Curtin also swore, at the same time, that if elected to office he would "remove all foreign ers, -aliens, or Roman Catholice from office or pisee. This oath be has brotniseu to seep forever and inviolate !" tie ass not renouno fd one letter of it to tole day. We leave toe natter tiith naturalized eitizeoe.—.Puteburg Post. Tna M'OLILLAN TESTIBIIMIAL,---TO the .Edi tor of the World;--The inclosed circular ex plains itself: The , subscription was almost univerial in the Army of the Potomac ' but the pressure from the War Department was so strong against it that it had to be suspended. Gen. Meade beaded the list with twenty dol. bun, a , handsome subscription. CIRCIILAR. The object of the proposed testimonial from the Army of the Potomao to Major General 141'GleSan having been misconstrued, and the proceeding being considered contrary to army regulations, it is - deemed proper, for these rea sons, by many Who have united in it to pro ceed no further in the matter. September 24, 1868. Mr. Washburn, of Illinois, a leading ad ministration member of Congress, on the 29th of April, 1862; said " As the oldest member present represent ing a constituency for ten years, I should deem myself but a miscreant representative if I stood here as the defender of the robberies and the plandererines now going ott against the public treasury." A Rom.cy emperor once displayed his con tempt for the people he ruled by installing a horse into an office. Judging by the number of asses which Alwaham has given official po sition, it is presumed his contempt for the peo ple exceeds that of the old ttoman. NEWS OF THE DAY. BY TELEGRAPH. PROM CHATTANOOGA.

Ninety-five of the crew of the Florida arri ved in Liverpool in a state of destitution. The reports that they had received large sums in wages and prize money, were fabrications.— The men were mostlypressed from the Confeder ate army.

ATTEMPT OF REBELS TO CAPTURE THE U. 8. TUG LEVIATHAN-.SECOND ADVANCE ON TEXAN. The Morning Star, with New Orleans dates to the 26th, has arrived at New Orleans. The bar pilot who brought the Morning Star out of Southwest Pass reported that the small tug Leviathan, then lying under the guns of the De Soto, was boarded the night before, (September 21.) by a party of men who came out in a email boat from shore, took possession of the tug and carried her out to sea. Two or three gunboats were lying by when the tug was taken, but the loss was not discovered till the Leviathan was several miles out in the gtdf.

ASEIGNED TO A COMMAND It is generally understood that Gen. Hooker is re-assigned to a comma Ad. He takes charge of the force separated from the Army of the Potomac, and perhaps supersedes Burnside ix. Tennessee.

The enly Mgt we c find in it is the following "All men agreed that intemperance wne a great curse, but differed about the cure. The suggestion that it existed to a great extent in• the army was true. But whether it was a cause of defeat he knew not ; but he did know that there was a good deal of it on the other side. Therefore they had no right to beat us. on that ground." (Laughter.)
