Juliuu, Republican, from Indiana, in a speech tho other day in Congress said : "Gates may arise in whioh patriotism its sal f may demand that wo tramplo under our feet some of the most vital principles of the Constitution ;" auu ho adds that this has beeu done already by the present Administration !"' Tho Abolition organs consider such men as Julian patriots and euck men as Vullandigham traitors. ESy- A correspoudcut'of the Rochester Democrat alludes to the fact that twelve years since, Mr. Seward introduced a bill into the Senate to abolish slavery iu the District of Columbia. That bill received his own vole not another beside. Now j what ho then alone voted for, is a la. A vents march faster than armies Dunvilte Democrat. Yes, and not many years ago, a prop osition was introduced into the United States Senato in favor of a disolution of the Union, and received tho votes of this same Mr. Seward, John P. Hale and Sal mon P. Chase. Judging by tho course the Abolitionists aro pursuing, he seems likely to succeed in this latter project; and that in apitc of an army of 700, QUO wen battling for its restoration, iiadly and sorrowfully, we admit, "Evonts march faster than armies." BSy So much of tho act of August last as imposes a direct tax of twenty millions on the United States, fchall only be held to authorize tho levy and collection of one tax to that amount ; and no other tax thall "be levied under and by virtue there of until tho let of April, 1605, when the tame shall bo in full Ibrco and effect. "We copy tho above from the Philadel phia Inquirer, and publish it to call at tention to tho fact that tho Republicans desiro as much as possible to shrink there apousibiliti.es of collecting and enforcing the collection of tho taxes they have made noccssary and put off thercforo till tho Democracy arc in power the enforcement of one act, now a law. It goes into opcr ntion 1st April, 1805. A Democratic President will bo inaugurated 4th March, 1805, whereupon the opposition expect to make capital out of the collection of tho tweuty million tax. Remember ! ! CSy "Union Savers." Previous to the Presidential election, of 1800, gays a contemporary, tho opponents of tho Dem ocratic party applied to its members many epithets of derision; but among the cata logue ofsarcastio appellations fixed upon n i by Republicans and Abolitionists, none were uttered wiih such uuctiou of scorn as Aho30 of "Uuion-Savors.' aud "Union .Bhriokcrs." The valiaut orators oflto jiiblioauiiin wero in tho habit of poiutiug tbeir wit aud adoruiug their denunciations of Democrats iu gonoral by calling them Uuiou savers and shriekers, Tho people tire now lookiug back to tho admonitions of Democrats then spoken and written a gainst tho succoss of a Bcctioual party bas ,cd upon antagonism to tho vital interests und institutions of a larga number of tho States of tho Union, and thiukiug that tho Democrats wore not ouly in earnest iu their endeavors to save tho Union, but that they toolk a very proper and prophctio view of tho whole subject of Abolition sec tionalism. eL7Sweltriug hot days- Sunday and JiOildri" ( Northorn Troiison. J An nnti-elnvcry organization has been , formed in the City of New York, at tho head of which is tho editor-in-chief of tho Evening Post, William Cullen Bry ant, the poet, which announces as one of its fundamental principles the dogma that 'hw State voio in the rebellion shall be again recognized as a member of the Union except on condition of emancipa tion," What treason is this ! Tho as sociation is called tho "Emancipation League," and nddrcsscs havo been deliv ered boforo it at tho Cooper Iustituto by Senator Jim Lano, of Kansas, and Owen Lovejoy, tho fantical M. 0. from Illinois. It is intended, if possible, .to engraft this treasonable principle upon the platform of tho Rcpublioan party, and convert tho war at once into an nnti-slavory crusado. It is as rank treason as secession itself, and is based upon the absurcd doctrine of tho Southern domogagues, that a State can take itself out of tlio Union, and that thoso States in which the rcblliou now provails aro really out. The Newburyport Herald, a Republican journal, thus dispos es of the fallacy upon which tho "Eman cipation League" has established its creed: "No States has gone out of tho Union, and wo aro not attmepting to bring one into the Union. We only aim to suppress insurrection in certain States of the Union, that tho laws may be executed and the loy al people hold control. If tho States could take thorusclvcs outof tho Union,this would bo a foreign war, a war ol invasion,and to bo justified on no cood grounds: but not being out, wo can make no conditions for their return. There is tho Constitution thoy must obey that, and we can impose upon them nothing different or beyond that. Mr. Bryant,? League accepts tho ground on which Jeff. Davis started and it is no moro to bo tolerated than should be a nest of secessionists." Major-General Pope Maj. Gen. Pope, who has been appointed to tho command of tho Army of Virginia, is upward of forty years of age. lie was born in Kentucky, but emigratsd to Illinois beforo attaining his majority, and is now a citizen of that State. He cnterd the West Point Military Academy iu 1803, as a cadet from Illinois, and graduated with distinction in 1842. He was soon after appointed a brevet sonond lieutenant of Topographical Engin eers in tho United States service ; and at the commencement of tho war with Mexico accompanied tho army in that capacity. At the battle of Monterey, he distinguished himself, and for his gallant conduct on that occasion was brevettcd a first lieutenant the commission bearing date September 23, 1846. Tor meritorious scrvico at tho battle of Bucna Vista, he was brevettcd a captain, his commission dating from tho 2yd of February, he beeamo a full 1817. Iu July, 1848, Captain in tho Topo- I graphical Engineering corps, and soon af- torwards was placed in command of tbo Expedition sent out by tho United States government to aseortain the practicability of boreing artesian wells in tho Staked Plain lying between Texas and Now Mex ico. Not succeeding in the undertaking, Captaim Pope returned to Illinois. He supported Mr. Lincoln for the Presidency, and in February, 1801, at tho request of the newly elected President, ho accompan ied him on his journey to Washington. Being known to Mr. Lincoln as an ablo aud loyal officer, ho was successively pro moted until, on the 17th of May, 1801, ho was appointed a Brigadier General, and assigned to tho department of Missouri. In March last ho was promoted to a Major-Generalship, and subsequently com manded a division of Gen. Halleck's army before Corinth. Thus ho has risen step by stop to one of tho most important posi tions in tho Union army. Ni'.ouoes in the Army. Tho Aboli tion agitation aro seeking by every means to force upon tho people their pervertod ideas of negro equality. Tho latest move. 1 mcnt is a bill introduced in tho Senato by the notorious Johu P. Hale, to authorizo the enlistment of negroes in the army, and has created a propound sensation at Wash ington. It provides that tbo President shall have the power, by proclamation, to call on every person to enlist, without distinction of color, race, or condition, and that every slave bo culistod shall over thereafter be frco aud entitled to all the pensions and bounties of whilo soldiers. Tho movoment is most ill advised and has aroused the utmost indiguation among the troops now in tho vicinity of tho Capital. Thoy say thoy aro willius- to fight for tho country but iu doing so they aro not will w' that iictrro soldiers should Lie on nn equality with them. Tho bill has gone to the Military Committee, and it is extreme Ivuouuttul wetucr it wll no reported to tho Senato iu its present shapo. fiSrUuu Army. A3 tlio question is frequently asked how largo is tlio forco now engaged iu battling for tho Union, it will interest our rcadors to know, that by the latest official returns wo have now 75 oavulry regiments, containing 71 ,5110 men; 17 artillery regiments, 10,477 ; 004 iufiiu try regiments, 508,745 men.

Jlcstucd, That to tho end that the Union bo restored, aud tho Constitution and laws enforced throughout its whole extent, we pledge our hearty and unquali fled support to the Pcderal Government iu tlio energetic prosecution of tho existing war. 3d. Resolved, That tho true and onlv object of tho war is to restore the Union aud enforco the laws. Such a purpose alone is worthy the awful sacrifice which it costs us of life and of treasure,; with such a purpose alone can wo hope for success. And thoso who from sectional feeling or party or private motives would give any other direction to the efforts of our armies aro unjust and unworthy to bo entrusted with power, and would cause all ourexer- I tions, extraordinary and unparalled as thoy aro, to prove lutife in the end. 4th. Resolved, That wo justly view with alarm the reckless extravagance which nervades some of the denartmouts of tlm Federal Government, and that a return to i ngul economy aud accountability is indis- pousible to arrest the systematic plunder of the public treasury by favored partizans, and that in viow of the recent startling do- j velopments of frauds and corruptions at the Federal metropolis and throughout the country that wc hold an entire change of, administration to bo imperatively dcuian-1 dcd. 5th.

Resolved, That wo denounce North ern Abolitionism and Southern Secession as the co-operating sources of our present culam'ties aliko treasonable to the Con stitution aud inimicale to tho Union, Tho ouly way to a restored Union and a respected Constitution with returning peace aud prosperity is through tho overthow of both. 7th. Resolved, That tho Democracy of Pcnn'a is equally opposed to nil sectional legislation and geographical parties, which base their hope foi coiitiuucd partisan suo cess on tho iigrarianism of emancipation aud hypercritical philanthropy abolition : becauio neither is known to the Constitu toin, and both are intended to aid disunion and subvert tho Constitution and to prevent tho restoration of uuity,poacc and concord among States aud people. 8th. Resolved, That tho Constitution and the laws aro sufficient for any emergency, and that tho suppression of the freedom of speech nnd of tlio press, and tho unlawful arrest of citizens and the suponsion of tho writ of habeas coipus in violation of tho Constitution in States whero tbo civil au thorities aro unimpeded, is most dangerous to civil liberty, and should bo resisted at tho ballot-box by ovory freeman in tho laud. 0th Resolved, That this is a Government of wiiito men, and was established cxclu-, ... ., ' ...t.ti- . il.nf Mm tinrrro tivn V tor 110 wnuuiiiuu, ins.

It is no justification for such nets that tho crimes committed in tho pros ecution of tho rebellion aro of uucxanipjjd atrocity ; nor is there any such justification as State necessity known to our Govern ment or laws. 11th. Resolved, That the Constitution and Union and tho laws must be preserved and maiutaiucd iu all their proper and rightful supremacy, aud that the rebclliou now in arms against them must be sup pressed aud put down, and that it is our I duty to uso all constitutional measures necessary and proper to that end. 12th.
