Another Falsehood Clinched.
The Chambersbnrg Repo.eitory, and other
Abolition journals, have charged Senator
CLYMER with declaring, is tio need M
Somerset, that—
"lf were elected,
with Seymour and Parker, they would unite in
eallieg from the army the trcufgarfrwn their Teepee
,glatee, for the purpose qf compelling,the
,adminis
tration to invite a convention of the Stiites to adjust
our -diffteultiee."
The Reading Gazette, on the'authority' of
Stniisplymer, pronounces the aerie false.
He uto, : ne s. such language, or anything lihe it,
fit **menet Of elsewhere. We were .so well
satisfied - that it was untrue when are first read
it, that we deemed it unworthy of notice. It
is safe to set down' - every charge made In. the
Abolition 'papers agaityit Democrats as false

Plain Talk for Plain People.
We do not think that any man of plain, Qom-
Mon Sense, will say that the condition of the
country at present is such as he would desire
it to be. There is something wrong—some of;
the machinery is.tut ofgeaf f -andwe take . '
as a matter el cotihe, th at ei
at telL ry right-mixide4
man would like (9 - see 'till* set tO:rights, and:
the breaks and obstructions in the machinery
removed and mended. Now, it is ,obvious to
our mind that , the men who have for three
years past been running the machine do not
inderatind its iiiechniilsri—otheriiiite it would
not have been jarred and put out of running
order—and not understanding it, cannot safely
be trusted by the peepie to repair 'mid put it
again in good condition. We have learned by
costly experience in our own office that a steam
press, which .an experienced engineer, a steady
man with a. well-balanced mind, will run with
out breakage or impediment for a year, an in
experienced man, confident in his own igno
rance, will put out of order every week, and if
continued, totally ruin in a month. It is the
same in governmental as in mechanical affairs.
If the men entrusted With the management of
the State are ignorant, or careless, or reckless,
the machinery will soon be disarranged, the
levers and screws and pulleys and cylinders,
and wheels and bands cease to 'work as they
were intended to—and unless the bunglers up
removed, and competent workmen put in their
place, the whole machinery may be utterly
ruined in as short a time as it takes an incom
petent engineer and pressman to ruin a double
Winder steam printing . press.
The history of the country, which is open to
all ; in its public records, in the proceedings of
Congress and the State Legislatures, shows too
plainly for contradiction or dispute, that while
troubles have always arisen under administra
tions other thin Democratic, everything has
gone smoothly and well when Democrats were
in power. And there is a very plain reason for
this. The. Democratic party, when adminis
tering the Governinent, have always confined
themselves within the limits of the Constitu
tion, literally construed, and been in all things
observant and obedient to the laws. Their am
bition has been to rule mildly, to carry out the
intentions of the Fathers strictly, to place no
unnecessary burdens upon the people, to re
strain them in the exercise of no privilege
granted by the Constitution or natural right
not voluntary resigned for the sake of good
government—in short their aim hats been to be
stow the greatest good upon the greatest num
ber, and they have never failed to do so—while
their political Opponents, by whatever name
known, have invariably pursued a different
course, and invariably, under their adminis
tration of Government have the people suffered
wrong and oppression. Their views, whatever
they may pretend to the contrary, are not re
publican—they are aristocratic, arbitrary, con
trary to the principles upon which our free in
stitutions are founded. They never could find
power enough in the Constitution to carry out
their policy, and hence thiy have disregarded
it, when in authority, trampled - the laws under
foot, set their heels upon the necks of the peo
ple, and brought trouble and gloom upon the
country.
Under the administration of John Adams
this was exemplified in the passage and en
forcement of the Alien and Sedition laws, from
whence arose persecutions for opinions sake,
and every species of tyranny odious to a free
pt4l6. The Mime policy, though in a lesser
degree, marked the administration of every
succeeding administration hostile to Demo
cratic sentiment, down to the inauguration of
Abraham Lincoln, since when the true spirit
of the party has displayed itself in the most
reckless acts of despotism that ever diogrAco
any nation.
Under this administration nothing has been
regaled but the uugheckea will of the ruling
party. Every barrier erected by the Consti
tution and the laws against the exercise of ar
bitrary power and for the protection of State
and popular rights, has been brushed away
from its path, and we have had a reign of ter
ror and blood, of conscatiption and exaction, of
plunder and oppression, stained by orioles of
every nature and degree, that finds no parallel
in history—that sickens the heart and mantles
the cheek of the civilized world with thehlush
of shame and indignation.
No one who understands the institutions of
the country, and values his reputation, will
deny this statement. ' It is true—and truth is
mighty.
This gang of ignorant and reckless engineers
in charge of the National and State engines
have thrown the• train from the track, and nave
neither the desire nor skill to put it on again.
What, then, is to be done ? We must change
our workmen—we must discharge the incom
petent and careless hands we have, and employ
skillful mechanics to repair the damage and
put the train upon the rails ; we must do this,
or every hope of this free people, of this great
republican nation, will be wrecked.
It is time to open our eyes and look-the truth
in the face. There is, this day, but one step
between us and destruction. We must break
down the ruling power, or we must ourselves
go down. We cannot now reach -Lincoln
through, the ballot bok—bni we can reach Cur
tin, and Curtin is Lincoln's right ann. , 'Let
1113 lop off-this right arm, And, by so-doing; les
sen the power of the Federal administration
for mischief, and redeem PennsYlvania from
disgrace. To save your country and your
selves you must do this. You , will have an
opportunity on the 13th—avail yourselves of
it—let nothing deter or restrain you—strike
tkcn, and strike boiddy,.—lf.yon fail you can
lose nothing—for things are as bad as can be—
but - if you ettdeeed you WM 'gain Much—a
country, liberty, constitutional gOvernment,
peace union and prosperity. ,

for pensions were allowed at the Surgeon Gen

We have presented these facts and figures

to vote upon the question whether those who
have created this immense debt—the powers at

UNION COUNTY.
•Judge Woodward Addresses the
Multitude.
SPEECHES .BY CARRIGAN ANO WITTE,
Thursday, the Ist, was a glorious day for
Union county. Lewisburg was literally inun
dated with Democrats. Such a mensterineet
ing was 'never 'before held in the count)* A
spontaneous outpouring of the people followed
the announcement that Judge Woodward, who
was attending the regular term of the Supreme
Court at Sunbury, would be present. livery
township sent banners, processions and flags,
to greet and welcome their chosen candidate—
the champion of the Constitution—the De
fender of Liberty. From early in the morning
until bite in the day the clans were gathering,
till the Abolitionists declared they must have
been brought from all the countioa In the
State.
When Judge Woodward arrived at the depot,
late In the !Mermen, he was met by a mounted
escort, who, having placed him in a carriage,
filed in on each side and went on a gallop to
the grove, where thetas:Ms of people were
waiting to see him. On approaching the
grounds, the cry of Woodward ! Weodward !
rent the air on every side, and when he
stepped from his carriage the shouts were
deafening. Carrigan was speaking at the time,
cutting Curtin and the Abolitionists right and
left, when the commotion was raised by the
arrival of Woodward. When order was re
stored, Carrigan said, "I have been talking to
you about the man who is NOT to be your
Governor ; I will now show you the man who
Is to be your Governor." Cheer upon cheer
followed, and when the tall form of the Judge
Was seen on the stand, it was a signal for re
newed applause. When it had ceased, he
stepped forward and spoke substantially as
follows
• My Friends :—I have come, as I have-been
accustomed to come,. annually, for t the last
twenty years, among the people of the • great
Buffalo valley, to renew old friendships, to re

•to.tbeir own base purposes. • Thus ,God
the lightning to men, and Abolition law sells
it. Pint4there are GrOd-given rights/which they
cannot sell—immunities they , cannot pnr
chiles. • _
The appearance Of this vast assemblage
re-assures me of that. It is but the counter
part of what I have seen in the various parts
of the State—this great upheaving of the peo
ple. We are here greeted, as we have been in
other plicee, with irouran's smile. This is the
very best earnest of our success. When child
hood's innocence and female loveliness range
themselves upon the side of ''ustice, what glit
tering power of bayonets shall say us nay.
The afierioon being nearly spent, the Presi
dent of the Democratic Club announced that
Mr. Witte would speak in tie evening. Cheers
were then given for Woodward and others, and
the meeting adjourned.. Flags, banners, and
wagons could be . sium going in every direction
home.
Judge Woodward was the guest of Mr. Bill
nor, at whose house he and his friends were
tendered that attention' which could only
spring from hearts and minds whose opinions
and sentiments were in perfect harmony with
his own.
In the evening a great crowd collected to
hear Mr. Witte. Our readers well know that
gentleman's reputation as an orator, and the
impossibility of attempting to photograph his
voice, or make the printed speech read like the
living man talks, He held the vast audience
for over two hours in the unstudied attitude of
attention, and long after he quit speaking, they
lingered still. His speech was as usual—seri
ous and impressive_
Considering everything—the multitude—the
speakers—the enthusiasm—the meeting may
be noted as ens of the most successful and en-
couraging ever held in Union county or the
State. •
WHO IS THE SOLDIERS' REAL FRIEND ?-lEx.-
tract from the decision of Judge Woodward,
sustaining the stay law , passed by our Legis
lature 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 emer
gency that justified the pushing of legislation
to the extremest limit of the Constitution Y No
citizen could be blatried for volunteering. He
was invoked to do so by appeals as strong as
his love of country. In the nature of things
there is nothing unreasonable in .exempting a
soldier's property from execution whilst he is
absent frem home, battling for the supremacy
of the Constitution and the 114400 of the
Union. And when he has not runlefore he
was sent, but has yielded himself up to the
call of his country, his self-sacrificing patriot
ism pleads trumpet-tongued for all the indul
gence from his . creditors which the Legisla
ture have power to grant. If the term of in
dulgence seem long in this instance, it was not
longer than the time for which the President
and Congress demanded the soldier's servi
ces."
WHY DON'T FIN SIGN IT f , ...The shoddy can

sed, The manufacturers came down upon him

S. BPSA It SLOOP, IiTTOMISG, ?
YOKotinfe, July 23, 1863.
SIR : On the evening of the 10th, news was
received, through a Japanese source, that an
American steamer had been fired on by a bark
and a brig belonging to the Prince of Nagato,
at the western outlet of the inland sea, and
that she had disappeared, and was supposed
to be sunk.
A mail from Shanghae the same evening
bronght authentic information that the Ameri
can steamer Pembroke, on her passage from
this place to Shanghae, through the inland sea,
had been fired on by the above vessels, and
had made her escape through the Bungo pas
sage.
on the 13th we left this place for the scene
of outrage, and arrived off the lariat' entrance
of the western outlet of the inland sea on the
morning of the 16th.
On• the tide proving favorable, we proceeded
in the Straits, and at the opening off the town
of Simonosak discoversid a steamer, brig and
bark-of-war at anchor, with the Japanese
coloreat the peak, and the flag of the Prince
at the,fore.
We Stood for the grease's, and on approach.
ing them were fired On as we got within range
by six batteries, On different positions, and
mounting from two to four guns each.
Passing between the brig and bark, on the
starboard side, and the steamer on the port,
we received and returned their fire at pistol
shot.
Rounding the bow of the steamer and get
ting in position, we maintained the action for
about one hour.
During the affair the steamer got under
way, but two wall directed shots exploded her
boilers.
The brig !appeared to be settling by the stern,
and no doubt sunk.
The amount of damage done the bark must
have been serious, and there must have been
great destruction on shore.
The straits opposite the city are about three
fourths of a mile wide, with ;Arm currents,
which made it very difficult to manoeuvre the
ship properly, as I had no charts, and my pi
lots were completely paralyzed, and I was ap
prehensive of getting ashore. In fact, I did
touch once. I was then induced to withdraw
out of action.
The fire from the shore battery was ex
tremely brisk, and continued pg jpilg as we
were in range. We were hulled eleven times,
and with considerable damage to the smoke
stack and the rigging aloft, which was attri
buted to our passing within the range they
were prepared for. I regret to state the loss
of four killed and seven, wounded, one of whom
has since died. Enclosed is the surgeon's re
port It affords me much pleasure to state
that the conduct of the officers and crew was
all that I could desire.
Lieut. Barton, in charge of the first division,
makes honorable mention of the conduct of Ac
ting Master's Mate J. E. Sweeney ; Peter King,
senior captain of the forward pivot guns ;
Thomas Sadler, captain of the top ; and Charles
J. Murphy, seaman. I would also mention the
cool conduct of Frank Wyatt, boatswain's mate,
captain of the after pivot gun, and Edward
Janney, captain of the top, and second captain
of the after gun.
The Prince of Nagato, it appears has com
menced this war on his own account, as he is
one of the most powerful and influential of the
Princes of the empire, and bitterly opposed to
foreigners; but the punishment inflicted and
in store for him, will, I trust, teach him a les
son that will not soon be forgotten.
On the 17th inst., the French dispatch
steamer Men Chang passed through, on her
way to Shanghae,
and was fired on and non
sideritbly injured, and on the 11th, her Brit
tannic Majesty's ship Medusa was also fired
on, and sustained some damage and a loss of 4
men killed and 7 wounded.
'As BOOR as the outrage on the French
steamer was known here, the French Admiral
Juarez left with his flag ship•- and a gunboat
for Simonosaki, and no doubt will complete
the punishment due for the wanton violation
of existing treaties.
The Jamessown Wee at Woosung on the 16th,
to sail immediately for this point via Na
gasaki. • I shall await her arrival.
I enclose a proximate plan of the straits, the
position of the vessels and shore batteries, and
our course, etc., etc.
All of which is respectfully submitted by
your obedient servant, D. M'DoircaL,
Commander.

met in State Convention in this city to•day.—
They deem it inexpedient to make any nomi

The Convention recognized no political par

the State to vote for the "Conservative" rather
than the "Radical Fanatic," because admon
