flounced in the Decburst:Emil lielependence, that "the military is inferior and subject to the civil powers." Congress has no judielatauthority and only a secondary law-making power, subject to the organic restrictions of the Constitution. Its action in refunding the fines imposed upon a great warrior for a fault in early life, is no argument against the justice and validity of the law imposing the fine. Fines are often re- milted, but this in no wise effeets the law. After a quarter of a century,: the Congress of the United States refunded tweet. Jackson the fake with interest aceruhrg, brit Congress cbauge billitaikeAtenar argue its change. It had no power to do it. The case itself was one of 'Most' extraordinary character. Gem. Jaelmon was the most deter minedly popular of all the statesmen, generale, or public men of his day. An unblemished integrity added to an undoubted courage direc ted by a most marvellous sagacity, which was scarcely-lems•fortunate in its choice,made him a popular Idol, whose very name thrills the public heart of the children of those brave men - who stood by his fortunes in peace and in war, through life and in death, and who after his death almost worshipped the memory of his existence. The battle of NewOrlearte was the most signal triumph, the most magnificent ex hibition of military skill ever recorded—in the history of arms it is yetunrivalled. The military glory consequent upon that victory dazzled the mind of the whole nation, and astonished the military captains of Europe. This great bat tle concluded the hostility of the war of 1812. The people were weary, sick- and exhausted with war, and honored every man who had contributed to terminate the strife. It is not true that martial law eared New Orleans. The victory was a foregone conclu sion. Secured by the disposition of the armies, the discipline of the camp, the skill of the commanding officer, but more than all, by the love of that liberty burning in the bosom of the citizen soldiers which secured the supre macy of the civil over the military authority. The organization far victory was complete be• fore—the declaration of martial law only dim med its blazing glory. The declaration of martial law is the suspension of the civil exist ence of a people. Its long continuance is the , death of civil government. The mixture of civil and martial law in the government of a cone try is an absurdity, for which law dictionaries, common sense, and free government his re:- fused to appropriate names. Yet this is the motley jargon of the President, subject to these manifest diethurtions. We accept the Pied - dent's proposition, that he is invested, by the laws of war, with the powers of war as pre scribed by the articles of war. We accord to him the right as Commander-in-Chief—of whom ? The citizen non-combatants ? Women and children? No. Only soldiers and seamen in actual service with such citizens as place themselves in such immediate contact with the army, as by the articles of war, subjects them to the government of the camp. By what au thority, then,does he banish citizens from their homes, their property, c and their familes ? Not by authority of the Constitution of the United States, it grants no such powers. Not by the laws of the country, there are no such laws— there can be none such. N* by the articles of war—the articles of war contemplate no trial of citizens, and Congress has no power to give authority even to courts-martial to try citi zens. They must be tried on indictment by a jury in the district where the offence is com mitted. Has the oppression of men, the imprisonment of citizens by soldiers, the whole nameless cat alogue of wrongs suffered by the people and in flicted by that President, any higher authority, any clearer justification in law than the ban isment of citizens ?—a prerogative which the British monarch has never dared to exercise in modern times. We were not made for war. Whatever may be its apparent good, war is a fearful calamity. But when war ceases amon • civilized men. Wrongs, and forgetfulness of evils. But President contemplates the return of peace as a time for barbarian negroes to lord it over white men, 5' with silent tongues and clenched teeth and steady eye and well peised baYonet." But he'remindi the white men' who differ with him in opinion that they shall not be able to for get that, with 5, malignant heart and deceitful speech," they hare hindered the triumph of his opinions.

The Chicago platform, /with all its faults, did declare in favor of "free speech," " free press, " free conscience," trial by jury,- and the rights of States. - After the, people had reluctantly accepted the last alternative—this platform, the Presi dent suppressed free speech, suspendeda free press, abolished trial by jury, wipes out State lines,abolishee State inatitutionsiarrestajudges and members of State legislatures, and de clares the supremacy of aiiiitearlaw. Then the people are willing to be governed even - by military law, rather than be left in• anarchy, if they might first knew its mandates and avoid its penalties. • - As soon as military law was understood to be the • rule of government, military mobs, ex cesses, and 'outrages were perpetrated every where, and the people denied redress- from military courts, or protection - from militnry authority. Military law was then suspended, and the announcement made that the country was placed under, the higher law--...tha law of the church, and of liod, and of Heaven. This was an old law : • *tto• love Ike •Lordthy God with all thy mind and all thy soul said an thy strength, and to love imighborns thyself."

Thaddeus Stevens, the organot-the - Presi dent in Pennsylvania and Ike of the Republican party in Congress, ear:- " The Constitution es it is and the Union' as it mss, Void forbid it." That such a man with ouch a record should leads party in Parrasylratbsis itself sufficient to arouse suspicion. .This-Pa= Titan -eminiesa,ry of New England •Atheism-4i. Canada thistle in the rich soil of Peansyvania —was transplanted in an early day. His first estrance into public life was an exhibition of that pragmatical spirit of persecution which has marked his whole course. He, as the lea der of an inquisitorial faction, who clambered into the State Capitol as . wgents thug their slimy folds throne'. crevicuAdiraggfrock to diary height. On his motion in;Tiol+n 10 the Mosta* Lion of the United Stites andtthat of Tennsy)- vania—venerable ministers of the Gospel, Judges of the Courts, quiet, inoffensive far mers and mechanics, were arrested and brought before a self-constituted star chamber to suffer insult for retaining thelme . mbership in a hia. sonic lodge. In the convention to amend the Constitution of the State, he withheld his name from the organic law, because it 'denied political equali ty tab negroes, whom he had made his social equals. He inaugurated the buckshot war in this city, to defeat a lawful election by the people of the State. A speculator in railroads, the very sight of his own public wrongs became an eye-sore and drove him from Adams coun ty. Like the serpent warmed into life by the woodmen's fire, he struck his poisonous fangs into the merciful hand of his kind hearted benefactor. This viper, by the institutions of this free country elevated from the humblest walk of life to - the highest position in the gift of the people, takes a solemn oath to support the Constitution ; and, as though perjury were sweeter to his poisoned taste than honey, and more delicious to his envenomed mind than the honey-comb, in therpresence•of his own con stituents, with uplifted hand, appealing to Heaven, he asks the God of truth to attest his violated honor and broken faith, and cries with emphasis, "The Constitution as it is and the 'Union as it was. God forbid it." •It has been the business of his life to tauntalize, to swag ger and bully, to insult and overawe every man who differed with him in opinion, or thwarted the purposes of his ambition. The vernacular of the sewer, the garbage of literature, the dia- lect of the fish market, the expletives of bil lingsgate, the' by=words of the esiabeese, the cant phrases of the lower deck of steamboat's, and the nomenclature of the Five Points were studied .by him, until slander and libel, vitu peration and de traction, were reduced to a sal ence and followed as a business. He exhibited his capacity as a common scold and cultivated his talent as calumniator at the bar and on the stump. He prepared his :tirades for newspa pers, and•ineorporated them into his speeches. until he laid claim to national reputation, upon the ground that his scurrility of speech, ob ebenity of language, and vulgarity of phrase ology wail without parallel in the land. But after drinking from the exhaustless fountain of his own malevolent bitterhess, until swollen with rage,• inflated with egotism, and wild - with ambition, he has lifted the flood-gates of his heart to pour forth his depravity, sparing in denunciation neither age 'or sex. In all his vast resources he could scarcely husband lan. guage adequate to the truthful portraiture et his own wickedness and putrefaction, pictured without exaggeration, and painted in modest colors. The issue is imade up. "The Constitution as it is, the Union as it was"-- - - . .our creed, our faith, our hope, our salvation. Stevens says, "God forbid it." Stevens is responded to by Sumner. It is a confession of faith of the Republican party. With this creed . as the basis, our nationality must perish with out hope. Is there no remedy ?no hope 2 Is there no balm in Gilead ? Is there no physician there ? Change your public servans ; change your manner of administration; execute the laws ; elevate the Constitution to its supremacy, and the Union will be restored to its intqgrity...— Give to the country Democratic rule, and the . Democracy will give back peace and unity, to the country. The history, prestige and moral power of the Democratic party would secure to the Union peace, to the American continent Republican government for ever and ay/DT I re linquishing American possession at the bid ding of the Democratic party, will each, retire at her approach into power. Under its &della istrat,ion European. empires for half a century courted our favor, conciliated our friendship and exemplified for our nationality the most profound respect. When the Democracy re turn to power Europe will know it and feel it. 'keenly. She will learn it from a change of Ministers,' from a change of policy. She wild prepare to retire her Austrian princes from • 'Mexican thrones. It will be the duty, lite business of the Democratic party to make him retire—to forget all quarrels at home'and add to Texas, Florida, California , New Mexico and the, Louisiana purchase, Northern Mexico, and, extend republican•government over the. whole American continent, revive •ber old policy with renewed vigor, With the Democratic party in power and with their policy revived,' the South, knov . ring our determination and appreciating our Justice, will come back teatim Union as it was" and submit to 4Athe Constitution as it is."

One of the largest meetings ever held in the county assembled at Williamsport on the 17th. The people flocked in from every section of the county, in carriages, wagons, on horseback, and on foot, and when the hour for organizing arrived, the people were there in their majesty and strength to " put it through." Gov. Packer presided, and made a short speech. The speakers on the occasion were Hon. Mester Clymer, of Reading, Hon. Wm. H. hillier, of Harrisburg, Hon. A. V. Parsons, of Philadelphia, and J. H.

Never were the Democracy of the State more active, determined, and confident of success than they are now, and, unless the signs of the times are entirely unreliable,,#ey, will not be disappointed. Renegades from Democracy—A Peep at In these degenerate days, when the Aboli tionists can crow over cheap purchases of mer cenary wretches from the Democratic ranks, and impose upon the unreflecting and those - whose sources of , information are limited, by parading their mongrel stock as full-blooded, honest Democrats, who have joined their stand ard from pure motives, it is well to raise the veil and let in a little light. We hazard nothing in asserting that,not a single intelligent Demo crat has joined the Abolition party, and'now gives his support to Curtin and Lincoln, who has' not sold himself for a price, in money or its equivalent. Their professions of sincerity are the thinnest moonshine'; the, reasons they give for the change—invariably sudden—are PiPeflikeTwelliftirphlgCiinlei4l; which 'eitei man of them-feels that he, deserves. Hardly a single one of - thenew batch of converts in this State was ever a man of note in the Democratic party, or commanded, to any great degree, its respect or confidence. Generally they were looked upon as obstacles in the path of pro gress, greedy seekers' after office, mere specu lators and trafftoltere in . politics, :who held their principles. loosely about them, ready to be cast off wheneier a good bargain could be made by an, exchange, Another thingittrikes us-somewhat forcibly. Most of the men who have recently apostatised from the Dem:Maio party were noted fOr their extreme vievrs—their radicalism—their strong Southern, aspect., If we were asked to point out the man who, more • than any ether in thet whale range of our acquaintance, approximated what miiht, in the North, be considered a se cessionist and a rebel—a revolntionist and a traitar—we should indicate Cal. Thomas O. MacThiwell, whose heart seemed wholly wed ded to &midi', and whose tongue never Weft riOd in, Araite of her Clime, her song, her institu tions, and her acts. We are not of, the number of those who have err, believed in the existence of disloyalty or treason to any dangerous extent ithe North, except in the Abolition pprty, Lich stands upon a foundation of fanaticism, sloyalty and treason; but if there ever as a man in the Democratic ranks whose con ersettion and actions indicate ,ii a It sin li3ment of disloyalty and treason, Colonel Mac owell was the man.

London has been withdrawn in consequence of the meanness of the British Government. - . A letter from Richmond in the Confederate organ, the index, speaks of the probability Cl an early recall of the representatives of the South from England on account of the attitude of the British government. • The London Star fears that it is the inten tion of the French Government to speedily recognize the Confederates. It adduces various acts and demonstrations to justify the belief, and cornea to the conclusion that we must 't) v be prepared for French recognition before long. The London Herald, adverting to the ru mored probable recall of Mr, Almon from Lon don, says it is in consequence of the syste matic rudeness with which he has been treated. The Heeald hints that it has been through . the suggestion of Mr. Adams that Mr. Mast% has been excluded from official intercourse wits the British Government. The Paris correspondent of the Morning Pcst says a new loan for the Confederates is con templated. The French Government has certainly not thrown any difficulty in the way of the pirate Florida. Capt. Maffit resigned the command On account of ill-health. Lieut. Barney proba bly takes command. One of the reasons given for the decline in the Paris Bourse is an apprehension by some operators that the decision in the case of the Florida, may lead to implement feelings be tween France and the Federal Government. The U. S. frigate Constellation arrived at Gibraltar on the 11th instant. The Paris Pays says the English journals are mistaken in looking upon the note lately published in the Aloniteur as a step towards recognition—it was merely a recognition of belligerent rights. If the Emperor's Govern ment- believed itself bound to recognise the Confederates and establish official relations at all, it would do so openly and not by indirect means. The Rev. Mr. Stewart, late chaplain in the rebel army, has been lecturing before the Sam tern Club of Liverpool. He charged the New England clergy with instigating the war, and asserted that the war would 800 n end when President . Lincoln loses the clerical support.— He declared that the South had the means of carrying on the war for years to come, but ne vertheless was ready to lay down the sword, and leave the questions at issue to the ballot. The Opinione Nationale believes itself able to state that the English Cabinet, fearing that France may take possession of Mexico, is strongly endeavoring to persuade the Emperor of Austria to consent to the acceptance of the Mexican throne by Maximillian. The same paper says that a Mexican loan is spoken of, to be effected in London as soon an the Arch duke is officially proclaimed. The Emperor also said that 8,000 Irishman would be enrolled for service in the new Empire, These state , . ments caused a material improvement in Mexi can securities in London. ' The' Tillie" city article remarks that tlie em ployment of Irish troops is calculated to pre vent the United States from undertaking any aggression upon the new monarchy. The Russian reply to the English note is published. It professes an ardent desire to restore tranquillity in Poland. Discussions could only end in establishing divergence of views, and desires to assume'all the responsi bilities, and hopes the principle of non-inter vention will be maintained, which Russia had constantly respected. r .--..777. 7 murices warriliffier - ret...,.... on the 18th for funds.
