BLOOMSBURG, PA.
SATURDAY
MORNING, JULY 26. 1062.
Tho Thing is Working.
Tho Dayton Empire, alluding to tho
rapid increase of negroes in that part of
Ohio, gives us tho following :
"In one shop in this city, there arc four
negro blacksmiths. In a certain gluo fac
tory all the hands aro negroes.
A white lunu making one dollar a day,
running a stationary engine in a certain
carpenter'" shop, had to leave to mako
room for a contraband at eighty couta per
day."
Our Ohio contemporary dwells upon
thoje facts with spirit and indignation, but
before six months will roll around it will bo-
como u?ed to them ; aud, if wo aro not
egregiously mistaken "eighty ceuts" per
day will be quito acceptable to auy nie-
hanic whoso labor is reduced to competi
tion with that of ruuaway or contraband
negroes. In tho Southern counties of
Penusylvania, bordering on Maryland,
there aro hundreds of theso contrabands
now ungaged iu harvesting, but there aro
none receiving the sum of ''eighty" cents a
day for their services, Up as far as Dau
phin county, wherein is located tho Capital
of our State, this runaway labor has crow
ded out freo white and free negro labor too.
Iu and arouud Harrisburg, there are bover
al hundred contrabands, borne of whom aro
laboring in tho field for twenty-five cents
per day. We havo heard of one philan
thropic Abolitionist, living a short distance
from Harrisburg, who had a number of
blacks engaged at the liberal turn of ten
cents (the Buchanan standard,) per day,
and after he could use them no louger,
and fearing that they would become it bur-
thon to him, he, on oue fiuo morning, an
nounced to them that their masters wero
after them, and in that tender and sympa
thetic manner, our Abolition pecksniff,
after robbing the poor wretches of their
abor cot clear of them forever.
Hero wo have 'a practical illustration of
tho meanness aud tho workings of Aboli
tionism. It is a simple compound of
trcachory, hypocrisy, meanness and trea
son. Wherever you find a snflling, cada
verous lean and hungry looking dyspeptic,
turning up his pious eyes, lamenting tho
condition of the slave, you may bo sure
that he will, for gain, uot only oppress tho
uegro but tho white man ; and if ho has
money to loan, he will raise his per cent
age in proportion to tho borrower's neces
sities. Tho greatest scoundrels aro always
the greatest professors ; and tho meanest
creatures wo have ever seen arc professed
philauthropbists. Tho hardest mastors,
the crudest landlords, and tho meanest
men on thi3 side of perdition aro your can
ting philanthropists. They arc loud in tho
advocacy of every eutopian scheme of char
ity which costs nothing but theories of wid
ows nud orphans iu their own hearing, re
ceives no response in their atony and
bloodless hcat'ls. Their cold, glassy eyes
aro full of speculation, but no pity, and,
when beggary and poverty sue to thorn
for alms, they iuvariably refer them to tho
overseers of the poor.
If it waro possible to ascertain the facts,
it would bo found that those who are loud
est in their wailing over slavery and in
favor of its emancipation, aro such mon
sters as wo havo described. Freo the
slaves and they will find in this cluss their
greatest tyrants. Thoy will uot go to war,
nor will they contribute to assist others to
go ; tho widows and orphans of dead pa
triots thoy ehun as if thoy were lepers,
and their ouly aim in advocating tho war,
eveu with words, is, uot to restore their
couutry, but to bet freo four millions of
poor wretehcu, who, after being freo, would
find in these heartless fanatics their mean
est and most merciless oppressors.
Remarkable Tho Tifo of J?. Walsh,
across tho Creek, gave birth to a child on
tho Fourth, which makes tho fifth of her
children that has tho birthday of the na
tion for its own. Wo doubt wether tho

stances of tho systematic oonformitj to
the divino injunction to inereaso any mul

The Battle oi' Liberty.
by ox noE r. Monats.
At early dawn the roll of drum,
Tho bugle's shrill alarms,
Tho pickets warned our foes had oonia
And summoned us to arms,
The sun, Just rising from the flood,
Flecked earth's majestic arch,
As our battalia ready stood
To meet them on their march.
Onward their legions came to feel
How bravely freemen fight,
For man to man. nnd steel to slocl,
We strove from mom till night.
The air was filled with fiery sleet
Which thickened on the field,
Until, amidst tho battle's heat,
Our foes were forced to yield.
The Conflict ceased at set of sun,
And hanishod treason's herd.;
Tho wreath of victory was won,
And peace again restored.
Thus ended in defeat and route,
A buso and lawless band,
Whoso fustian flag no more shall flout
Abovo the free-born land.
GREAT SL'JEtiCII
OF
lion. C. L. Yallandigliam,
Made al the Democratic State Convention
of Ohio, on the th day oj July, 1802.
Following the reading and adoption of
tho resolutions, loud aud continuous calls
woro made for Mr. Vallaudigham ; and
when he ascended the platform he was
greeted with rapturous cheers. He spoke
as follows :
Mr. President, and fellow Democrats of
of the tstatc of Ohio : I am obliged again
to regret Unit the latenes of tho hour pre
cludes nie from addressing you, cither iu
the manner or upon the particular sub
jects which othorwi-ic I should prefer.
This is my misfortune again to-day as last
night; but speaking thus without premed
itation, and upon such matters chicflv as
may occur to me at the moment, if I should I
happon to get fairly under headway, it
may turn out to be your misfortune.
Laughter. I

to-day wo have assembled in numbers

denunciations which have been poured out

organization, peaceably and in quiet, with
enthusiasm aud earnestness ot purpoic,
wo are hero met, and ir. harmony, which
is the secret of strength aud tho harbinger
of success, have discharged the duties for
which we aro called together. Thero was I
a tiuio when it was questionable if in freo
America in the United States boasting j
of their libortics for inoro thau eighty!
years a party to which this country is j
indebted for all that is great aud good aud
grand and glorious would have been per
mitted peaceably to assemble to cxurci.o
its political rights and perform its political
fuuetions. Threats havo even been made
in times inoro recent, that this most essen
tial of all political rights, secured to us by
tho precious blood of our fathors in seven
years' revolutionary war, should no longer
bo enjoyed. Tho Democrats of our noble
sister State of Indiana, second born daugh
ter of the North west, havo been menaced
withiu tho laet ten days, with a military
organization and tho bayonet, to put down
their party. I hold in my hand a telo
graphic dispatch from tho capitol of that
state, boasting ot tuis intanious purposo.
I will read it, gentlemen ; because i Know
that the samo dastardly menaces havo
been proclaimed against tho Democrats of
Ohio, and because L am Lore to-uay to re
buke them as becomes a frco-born man
who is resolved to perish Great applauso
in tho midst of which, tho rent of the
sentence was lost
Some months ago, a Democratic State
Convention was held iu Indiana. It was
a Convention of tho party founded by
Thomas Jefferson, and built up by a
.Madison and a "Monroe, and consolidated
by an Andrew Jackson applause a
party under whoso principles aud policy
from thirteen States we have grown to
thirty-four, for thirty-lour there were,
true anil loyal to tlie union ocioro ine
Presidential election ol ibUD a party
under whose wise and liberal policy the
course of empire westward did take its
way, until the symbol of .American pow
er tne stars anu stripes wavcu prouiiiy
from the Atlantic lo thu Paeihc, over tho
breadth of a whole continent a party
which, by peace and compromise, and
through harmony and wisdom and sound
policy, nrougnius upirom lecoiu anu im
poverished colonics, struggling in tho
midst of defeat and disaster in the war
of the Revolution, to a mighty empire,
foremost among the powers of the earth,
the foundations of whoso greatness wore
laid broad and firm, in that noble Consti
tution and that grand old Union which
the Democratic party has ever maintain
ed and defended. The Democratic par
ty, with such principles and sueli a his
tory tud record to point to, held a Stato
Convention in pureuauce of its usages
for more than thirty years, and under the
riehts eeeured by a Rtate tnd Federal
Constitution older still, in the capital of
the State of Indiana. And yet, referring
to this party and its Convention, the cor
respondent of a disloyal aud pestilent,
but influential newspaper in the chief
city of Ohio, dared to send over the tel
egraphic wires, wires wholly under the
military control of the administration,
which permits nothing to bo transmitted
not acceptable to its censors, a dispatch
in these words :
"The fellows arc frishtcned, evidently
not without cause."
"Well, gentlemen, I know not how far
Democrats of Indiana nuiy be frightened
and a nobler and more tearless body of
men never lived but I see thousands ol
Democrats before mo to whom fear and
reproach arc alike unknown. Frightened
at what ? Frightened by whom ? Wo arc
made of sterner stuff.
"The militia of the State," ho adds,
'will probably be put upon a war footing
very shortly.''
And who, I pray, arc the militia of the
State? They are not made up of the
leaders of the Republican party in Indi
ana or Ohio, I know. 1 never knew that
sort of politicians to go into any such
organization) in peace or in war. No
men have ever been more bitter and un
relenting iu their Opposition to the ridi.
eulc of the militia : and none knows it
better than I, as my friend before nio by
his smile, reminds me that one of my
own offences is that I am a militia briga-
dier in lavor ol the next foreign war.
Hut who are the militia ? They arc the
free born, strong-armed, stout-hearted
Democrats of Indiana as they aro ol Ohio.
Let llicin be put on a war footing. CJood !
Wo have hosts of them in the army al
ready, and on a war footing, but who arc
as sound Democrats, and as much devo
ted to the principles of the party as they
were the hour they enlisted. They have
been iu tlie South, and I have the author
ity of hundieds of officers and privates
in that gallant army, for saying that not
only aro the original Democrats in it,
more iievotou to tne p.irty to-uay man
ever before, but that hundreds also who
went hence Republicans, havo returned,
or will return, cured of tho disease,
Laughter ami applause. Sir, the army
is fortunately, most fortunately for the
colmtr.. turninc out to be a sort of polit
i(.al hospital or .sanitary institution, and
1 only regret that there arc not more ice
publican patients in it. Laughter,
Well, put the militia upon a war footing,
Put arms in their hands. Thoy never
can be made the butchers or jailors of
their fellow citizens, but the guardians of
free speech and a free press, and of the
ballot-box. Standing armies of the mer
cenaries, not the militia of a country, are
the customary instruments of tyranny
anil usurpation,
But tlii correspondent proceeds :
"If the sympathizers with treason and
traitors"
We sympathize with treason and traitors!
We, who have stood by the Constitution
and the Union from tho organization of
the party, in our lathers' clay and in our
own day, in every hour of trial, in peace
and in war, in victory and in defeat,
amid disaster and when prosperity beam
ed upon us we to be branded as enemies
to our country, by those whose traitor
fathors burned blue lights as signals for a
foreign foe, or met iu Hartford Conven
tion to plot treason aud disunion fifty
years aito ! We false to the Constitution
and to our irovernmont. thu bones of
whose fathers lie buried on every battle
field of tho war of 1812, from tho massa
ere at the River Raisin to the splendid
victory at Nov. Orleans : wo who bore
aloft the proud banner of the Republic
and planted it in triumph upon tho palace
of the Montezuiuas : AVc by whose wis
dom in council and courage in thu field
for seventy years, tho Constitution and
tho Union and the country which has
irrown croat under them, have been pre
served and defended ; wo to bo donounccd
as sympathizing with treason aud traitors,
by tho men who for twenty yoars havo
labored day and night for the sucooss of
thoso principles aud ot that poiioy ana
that party which aro now destroying the
grandest Union, tho noblest Constitution
and tho fairest Uountry on tlie giono. laiu
to mo about sympathizing with disunion,
with treason and with traitors I I tell you ,
wen of Ohio, that inthreo months, in six
weeks it may be, theso very mou and ttieir
masters in Washington whose biddiug they
do, will be the advocates of tho etorual
dissolution of this Union; aud denounce
all who opposo it as enemies lo tho peace
of tho country. Foroign intervention and
tno repeated anil most tonous disasters
wbioli havo lately befallen our amis, will
speedily forco the issue of separation and
southern independence disunion or of
Union by negotiation and compromise.
Between these two I am aud 1 horo pub-
lioly proclaim it for tho Union, tho wholo
Union and uothinu less, if by any possi
bility I can baveit; if not, thon for so
much ot it as yet cau bo rescued and pre
served ; and iu any ovcut and uuder all
circumstanocs, for tho Union which Uod

presorver of tho Constitution as it is aud

But this correspondent agaju procoeds :
f If the sympathizers with treason and
Iraxtors meditate to carry out their plans
in thi auarter."
What plans! Justsuoh as to day havo
been tho business of this Convention ; tho
plans of tho old Union party, laying down
a platform and nominating Democrats to
fill tho offices and control tho policy of the
GoTcrnmont, to tho end that tho Constitu
tion may bo again maintained, and tho
Union restored, and pcaco, prosperity and
happiness once inoro drop healing from
their wiug.
"rians" tno fellow proceeds, "in tins
quarter they will doubtless find tho work',
quite as hot as they bargained for." And
I toll tho cowardly miscreant who tele
graphed the threat that ho and thoso be
hind him, will find tho work Gfty fold hot
ter when they begin it than they had reck
oned on, both here and in Indiana.
"Ten thousandstand of arms," ho adds,
"havo been ordered for tho State troops."
For what ? To put down tho Demo
cratic party. Sir, that is a work which
cannot bo done by ten, or twenty or fifty
thousand stand of arms in tho hands of
any such dastards in offico or out of it. If
so full of v?lor and so thirsty for blood, lot
them enlist under the call just issued for
troops in Ohio and Indiana, Let them go
down and fight tho armies of the "rebels"
in tho South, and let Democrats fight tho
unarmed but wore insidious and dangerous
Abolition rebels of the North and West,
through tho ballot box. Forty thousand
additional troops, I estimate it, are called
for in the proclamation of yosterday, from
the State of Uhio.
Where arc tho forty thousand Wide
Awakes of 18G0, armed with their porta
ble lamp poits and drilled to the inusio of
the Chicago platform 1 Sir, I propose
that 35,000 ot them be consoripted forth
with. They wiH"nevcr enlist ; they never
do. They are "Homo Guards." They
"don't go," but stay vigo.ously at homo to
slander aud abuse and threaten Democrats
whose fathers or brothers or sous are in
the Union armies or have fallen in battle
