TifiK UNION.
Our Union, tho gift of our fathers I
In vvrnlli roars tho tempest nhovel
The darker and nearer our danger,
The warmer ami closer our love.
Though stricken, it never shall perish ,
It bends, but not breaks to the blast ;
l'ocs rush out in fury to rend it,
Hut wu shall he true to thu hut,
Our Union, ordained of Jehovah
Man sets not Mat aside I
As well cleavo thu welkin asunder,
As the one mighty system divide.
The grand Mississippi sounds ever,
i'rom p. no down to palm, the desreo ,
Tho s pindlo, tho corn, and tho cotton,
One pican shout. Union to thee I
Onr Union, the lightning of battle,
Pint kindled the ll.uuu of its shnuu!
The blood uml the tears of our pcoplu
Have Hindu it forever divine.
Intinttlt! we then will defend it 1
Will light till thu triumph Is won 1
Till the r-latcs form tho realm of the Union
As the tky forms the realm of the sun

Abolition State Convvi-tion.
A. (. Citrin nnminulcd for Governor
Hun, John Agncio for Supreme Judge.
Pirisiiuiia, August 5. Tho abolition
State Convention as-mblod this morning,
at 1 1 o'clock at Concert Hall.
General C. 11. Mttiklf, Chairman of the
Ktato Committee, called the Convention to
order.
J amen Cani'ibell, of Schuylkill county,
nominated A. D. Maxwell, of Northamp
ton, as temporary-chairman .
Thomas Marshall, of Allegheny county
nominated George Lawreucc of Washing
ton.
On motion of A. K. MoClurc, the Sec-,
rotary was first chosen.
lion. li. Mcl'lierson, cf Adams, was
unanimously cluetcd secretary.
'J'lio Convention then proceeded to en
roll its delegates.
After pcrfcctiii"; the roll of delegate by
omitting those for the coutestcd district, n
vole was taken for temporary Chairman.
A..D. Maxwell (tho Cuitin eandidato)
rco.'ivcd 70 votes, and George Lawrence
(Oppo.-itionj -15 votes.
.Mr. Maxwell took tho chair, made a lit
tle speech, implored them to nominate a
man who could bo elected, ami sat down.
The names of the delegates were called, a
Committee on resolutions named ; and tho
Convention adjourned till half past three
P. M.
The Committee on contested seats uaani
niously reported in favor of 15. Hamilton,
of Cleai field county, C. P. Waller (Sena
torial), of the Eighth District ; G. Mason,
ol tho Ninth Senatorial Districl: George
J.andon and W. C, Murccr. of Bradford
county; J. S, Hacker, of Lancaster, and
D. Darclay, of Armstrong county.
A warm discussion arose on giving tho
delegates who contested the beats the
chance to be heard.
Hon, 13. Mcl'lierson, lion. Tracy and
lion. Hechold, were in favor of grauting
them time. Mr. McCluro and others op
posed it, but the Convention finally agreed
to give each speaker fiftnen minutes.
There was no one objection to tho rcpoit
until Uradford couuty wai reached, when
Mr. Tracy made a warm speech, claiming
a scat on the grounds that the Convention
which elected him was the only legitiuato
one, its call being tho broadest.
Mr. George Laudon, to whom the Com
mittee gave tho seat, contended that his
election look placo first and was regular.
Mr. W. 11. Mann argued at leugth in
favor of Mr. L uidon, because ho thought
he was a representative of the largest num
ber. Mr. George Lawrence endorsed tho re
port of tho committee, and it was adopted,
and Hon. Henry W. Tracy of Uradford
turned one of tho convention (whereat
l'co John rojoiecs.)
James L. Campbell moved that thu
Convention proceed to noiniuuto candi
dates for Governor and Supremo Judge.
lion. V. McKcnnan,ol Washington,
offered the followiua resolution :
Whereas, An antagni)i3in,at oncu deplor
able and bi.tlor, has sprung up between
tho Iriend of the two leading candidates,
both of whom have rendered oonspiouous
services to tho oouutry ;
And whereas, Tho cxi3tcnco of this fcol-
mo will impair the efficiency of either us
a candidate, and endangering tho success
not only of the Gubernatorial nomination,
but of tho Judicial and Legislative also ;
therefore,
Hesolcd, That tho sotisw of this Con
vention is, that the best interests of tho
country and of tho Union party of the
State rcquiro the nomination of an accept
able candidate, whoso removal from the
recent disturbing causes will givo greater
promise of cordial, united and successful
support; a duty at all times imperative
but doubly so at tho present crisis, which
demands of every good citizen tho sur
render of ovary local fooling or prepos
session when required for tho public good.
On motion to postpone its consideration
81 voted for its postponement, and 45
against it.
Mr. Walbom moved that their rcoolu
tion bo taken up beforo making the nomi
nations, but was opposed by Mr. Camp
bell. Tho Convention voted to take up nomi
nations. Mr. Campbell then nominated Governor
Curtiu (amid applause and hisses), when
the chairman said he must enforce order
among outsiders,
Mr. Thomas Marshall, of Allegheny,
asked by what authority Curtiu's name
was used, as ho had beforo him a solemn
pledge of his that ho would not be a can
didate. Mr. 0. S. Dickey said tho Old Guard
of Lancaster nominated him. (Applause.)
Mr. Marshall said tho Old Guard of
Allegheny, who could smother Lancaster
in the majorities, was instructed against
him.
The resolution of Mr. McKcnnan was
again brought up.
Mr. Manu opposed its being again
brought up.
Mr. Vincent, of Erio, opposed it aa im
politic. Mr. Fuller, of Fayetlo, said there was
good cause for tho rc-olution, as it was
doubtful ulout electing Curtin. Ho was
for a now man. Ho believed Curtin had
by many acts, rendered himself obnoxious
to loyal, honest llepublicans.
A drunken man, who had made his way
into the centre of the hall, got up and said
there was no truth iu the statement ; that
Cui tin was a good man.
Order was finally obtained by putting
out -several from inside the bar.
Hon. J. M.. Dutlcr offered n resolution,
which was sent to the Chair. Ho with
drew the name of John Covotle, in order
to create harmony and unity ; the whole
party should unito on smno new man.
Hon. D. Uarelay, of Armstrong, argued
for a ucw man as tho only way to suc
ceed, and after paying a lundsouio tribute
to Philadelphia, offered tho name of II.
D. Moore, of Philadelphia, as a man
whom all know. Wo could not afford to
lose the eight thousand majority of Alle
gheny. No man had a right to stand in
the way of the success of tho party.
Mr. Landon, of Uradford, said the pref
erence of the people must bo respected in
thW country. All were for Curtiu. (His
ses in the gallery.)
Mr. Lawrence regretted these manifes
tations of feeling, and said no man would
go further or make more sacrifice than
himself. lie had helped to elect Curtin,
aud had stood by him. Ho knew him
well, and if chosen, he trusted in God he
would bo elected. Hut was not the choice
of the yeomanry iu this county aud there
would be trouble in giviug him a majority.
Ho knew they had the power to nominate
Curtin, but ho could only support him un
der protest. Ho would not assign his
reasons, llo continued iu an earnest ap
peal not force Curtin on them, for tome
time.
Mr. A. CuminlngJ, of Philadelphia,
wanted a direct veto on McKwuuan's res
olutions, lie believed Curtiu would bo
nominated, but ho wauted to show the
fearful issue thoy were going beforo the
people with. If Curtiu was tho clear
choice of the pcople.Jio would ucquicsco iu
it.
Mr. Curtin's declination of rcnomination
was hailed as a harbinger of peace all
over tho (State. The people thought a
cnndidjte could bo found who could stand
upon tho flag alono. Ho charged that up
on tho security that had been cited by his
declination, machinations had been net on
foot that threatened to foreo him again
upon us, with all tho entauglonioiits that
have visited us iu the past. Should tho
calamity bol'all us, tho pooplu would hold
them responsible, Ho said Curtin could
not secure tho support of cither his own
party or his oflice-lioldeis.
A vote was thou taken on adopting Mr
McKoiinau'n resolutions as follows :
For McKcnnairHrcsolutiou,'10; agaiti3t
the resolution, 80.

The balanco voted for Curtin.
3Ir. Fevius, of Allegheny, moved that
the nomination bo made unanimous.
3Ir. JIcKcnnan, of Washington, asked
him to withdraw it, (applause aud hisses),
and about twenty voted nay, amid hisses
and applause.
Tho Convention then took a recess till
8 o'clock P. 31.
ISvKNiNfi Session.
3Icssrs Todd, 3Iaxwcll, Darlington, A.
W, Taylor and Dickey, tho committo on
resolutions, reported several, of which wo
publish the only ones having anything in
them ; tho first of which is abolition up
to the hub; and the second from the hub
up : being an endorsement of Lincoln "to
tho fullest extent," as Wendell Philips
aud Pee John aro on amalgamation ; and
a third one endorsing, Lincoln, illegal ar
rests, aud all other enormities ; as fol
lows :
Jlcsolvcd, That, without sympathy for
the men who have made this war against
a free republican Government, or lor the
system ol human bondage, in whose inter
est it was instigated, or cause of despolio
principles, to which it is now devoted,
ibis Convention declares all engaged
therein, while so engaged, to bo worthy
only of our patriotic hntred, aud in like
spirit wo denounce as doubly recreant aud
base those rcsideuts of the loyal States
who tolerate this treason aud would afli
lato with armed traitors and again surren
der our Govermucut and liberties to their
kespiug,
Ucsolvcd, That Abraham Lincoln, Presi
dent of tho United States (applause), by
his discharge of his most arduous duty iu
tV civil war has won for himself the
I alle'ctt'k'i and regard of the whole Ameri-
' can people, aud always bearing himself
clear in his uigli olliee lias inaintaineU tue
' integrity of the Union and kept our honor
untarnished throughout the world. (Ap
plause.) Aud to him, his administration,
' its principles and its policy, we givo our
heartiest approval and pledge our earnest
. and enthusiastic support. (Lould ap
plause. ; Dr. Heighold, of Jefferson county, of
fered as an amendment tho following:
Resolved, That tho bold and determin
ed stand taken by lion. E. 31. Stanton,
Secretary of War, in summarily arsesling
traitors and tlueves wherever found, mer
its our commendation, and that in scziug
auy disloyal person wo pledge him our
, hearty cooperation in the task which he
has before him.
Mr. 3IoCluro thought tho resolutions
nlrcttdy read were sufficient aud Mr. Mc-
Arcigh thought tho amendment out of or
der. j Mr. Heighold urged the adoption of his
resolution. He had just como from tho
I Army of the Potomac, and ho wauled tu
jSco every man bhow his hand. He charged
, that gentlemen had visited Washington last
! week, to demand the removal of Secretary
Stanton.
31r, Bakclay endorsed tho resolution,
aud said that the resolutions were not
explicit enough. Thoy iuvolved glittering
generalities.
Mr. McVeigh defended Governor Cur
tin aud his friends lrom thu charge of a
lack of good faith, and paid a glowiug
tribute to the loyaly of his District.
Mr 31cCluro wauled to know who had
gone to Washington to complain of Stan
ton .'
Mr. 3IoYeigh decliued to answer.
Mr. MoFherson thought the resolutions
wero broad enough to cover all tho dcrised
points,
Tho resolutions of the Committee wero
adopted, aud tho resolution of 31r. Heig
hold was amended to read as follows :
Iu summarily arresting persons fouud to
be guilty of traitorous practices he merits
our hearty commendation, and that iu
performing thu public safety, we plcdgo
him our hearty co-operation."
Mr. Ncvm moved to table it.
Air. AleVeigh wanted to know if Mr.
Stautoit had origiuated theso arrests.
3Ir. Walborn called for the yeas nud
nays on its adoptiou.
Mr. AleCluro taid that but a small por
tion of tho uuimaiy arrests wero on Mr.
Stantou'n order. Ho wa3 a friend of Mr.
Stantou'e personally and in all iespcet3.
Il was unfair aud unwise to give him credit
for what others had done.
Air. Fuller charged that Governor Cur
tin's friends wero trjing to suppress this
resolution.
3Ir. Cutumings wanted to known if Air.
3IoCluro woultl voto for tho resolution if
it was made to road "and tho Administra
tion," iustead of Stanton?
3Ir. 3IcCluro denied that auy antagon
ism existed between Mr. Staulon and him
self. Mr. Fuller thought its suppression would
be regarded as a condemnation of 3Ir,
Stanton, which was meant by some men.
lie knew that Governor Curtin was in
open antagonism with Secretary Stanton.
Mr. AlcUlurc said ho knew that Air.
Curtiu was on cood terms with every
member of the cabinet:
Mr. AleVeigh moved to insert "the Ad
ministration" for Secretary Stanton."
Mr. Dickey opposed the resolution.
3Ir. Carnaghau urged its adoption as
amended.
The amendment was accepted by Mr.
Heighold and unanimously adopted.
The Convention then adjourned.
A Traitorous Wisli.
Tho Ilarrisburg Telegraph an ultra
Abolition sheet makes tho following In
famous declaration iu its edition of Tues
day last, and repeats it twice over, in or
der to givo greater emphasis :
" JI'c would rather see Lie. advance
with his cohorts into the heart of Pennsyl
vania, than witness the inauguration of
Woodward us Govu?ior of the Slate."
If this sentiment does not betray a trai
torous heart, wo know not whatmakes a trai
tor, liutit is ouly another proof of what tho
secessionists have always claimed, namely;
that the Northern Abolitionists wore their
truest allies. Both are bitterly apposed to
a restoration of the old Union, and there
fore both dread tho return of the Demo
cratic party to power. "Tako any shape
but that!" they both exclaim, in unison,
when the probability of Buch a thing ap
pears, liathcr than submit to it, the
Southern traitors would seek the refuge of
somo foreign powefj and the Northern
traitors would endure the humiliation of a
desolating invasion by tho Bebel armies !
j Could the true Uniou man, under any
j circumstances, desiro to sco his State ia-
vaded and occupied by an enemy ? No,
lie could not. To the real friei.d of the
Union, its honor, its safety, and its preser
vation, aro the paramount considerationSj
against which all others become of mere
stcoudary importance. And when wo hear
men who aro loud in their professions of
patriotism and loyalty, liko these editors
of the Telegraph, declaring that they would
rather sec the enemy triumph than submit
to defeat in their partisan arrangements,
wo may bo sure that with them love for tho
Unieu is ouly feigned, or at best subordi
uato to somo stronger i'ecliug, that has it
origin in prt'iudico. This declaration of
tho Tilvgrapli, infamous a3 it is, is only
another phaso of thu bitter partisan feel
ing that louud expression some time ago
iu the traitorous wish for the annihilation
of the Army of the Potomac, rather than

command. These aud similar examples of
tho bigotry of tho radioalx, only serve to
prove that they love the Negro more than
the Union, aud would rathor sec its des
truction accomplished by armed Traitors,

Tlio Provisions of tho Conscrip
tion Act.
The Owcgo 'limes says, it will not be
possible to make the draft plcasent to
th-jFo drawn, no matter how well under-1
stood, yet wo think ifccnerally understood

Wo shall try to give sonic explanation of
points not generally considered.

The second section of the law says :

Judges of tho various Courts of the United
Stales, the heads of the various Executive
Departments of tho Government, and the
Governors of tho several States ; second,
tho only son, liable to military duty, of a
widow, dependent upon his labor for sup
port; third, tho ouly son of aged or infirm
parent or parents depeudeut upou his la

ad., Who arc enrolled f
All between the ages of 20 and 45 with
out regard to their condition, eocsequent-
ly, tho lame and ihe blind, who if drafted
will bo discharged by tho surgeon.
But tho clause of the 11th section seems
to be entirely overlooked, and yet it is of
considerable importance). It reads thus :
persons drafted shall "continue in service
during the present rebellion not howevor
exceediug tho term of three years ; and
when called into servico shall bo placed
on the samo fooling in all respects as vol
unteers for three years or during the war,
including advance pay aud bounty as now
provided by law."
Drafted men will therefore rcceivo one-
fourth of the 8100 bounty and one months
pay iu advance. That is 139 in advance
and 75 at the expiration of tho time of
service.

other branches of tho service may re
quire" A Law to Punish Povkkty. It is
well enough to put things in their Iruo
shape. Let us try it :

uou"stol,t '"ember of tha Episcopal churli
auu a curiftian Gentleman. In
conversation a few days since with an in
telligent gentleman of this couuty, who had
been engaged iu somo legal transaction
in the county of Huntingdon, durine tl.e
timo Judge Woidward presided over tho
courts of that district, ho rclat.'d aft inci
dent which shows both the good practical
senso and tho firmly fixed religious princi
ples of our eandidato for tho ofliccof Gov
ernor. In Huntingdon county it has been cus
tomary to summon the jurors to assemble
at ton o'clock on 3Ionday morning of Court
week. As tho county was largo this
obliged many of them to travel on the
Sabbath day. Ucforo discharging the
grand jury at the first court he held, Judge
Woodward alluded to the fact iu fitting
leims, remarking on tho duty of a strict
observance of tho Sabbath, and giving it
as his opinion that no public business, ex
cept that of tho most urgont character,
could justify public officials in requiring
men to leave their homes and travel on
the Sabbath. Ho notified those present
and tho court officials that thereafter the
jurors would bo summoned to attend on
Tuesday iustead of 3Iouday morning, and
Ibis rule ho established and adhered to in
all tho couuties of his district. By a prop
er arrangement of business all tho timo
of 3Ionday was fully taken up with other
matters, and on Tuesday morning the ju
rors wero ready and the court ready to
proceed with the trial list without interrup
tion. Our intormant added that the busi
ness of the court never seemed to bo car
ried on so smoothly nud so rapidly as
when under tho direction of this ablo
christian Judgo. In tho bauds of such a
man all tho best interests of tho Common
wealth will be emintntly safe.

Ancient Copperheads.
In times of the ancients, Aloses raised a
copperhead brazen serpent iu the wildnr
ness, as typical of safety to life, that all
who looked upon it iu faith might live.
"And the Lord said unto AIoscs (tyyicjl
ftf'the Democrats,) makes thee a fiery ser
pent, aud set it upon a pole, aud it shall
como to pass that every ono that is bitten
(typical of being bitten by fal.-o pledge.
and army swindlers,) when he looketh
upon it shall live."
"Aud Aloses made a serpent of brass
(copperhead.) and put it upon a polo, and
it camo to pass that if a serpent (any con
tractor) had bitten auy man, when ho be
held the serpent of brass (copperhead; he
lived." Numbers xxi, 8, 9.
Thus it will bo seen that they had cop
perheads at a very remote period, and that
they wero the only safety to the pcoplu
who had been poisoned. Just so now tho
people have beeu bitten badly bitten by
the thousands of swindling serpents who
are for war so long as it pays, and uovti
as in tho days of good old 31oscs, their
only safety is in looking to tho Democratic
copperheads.
Democrats arc called copperheads be
causu they won't follow tho lead of tho
Abolitionists. Paul, then, was a frst class
copperhead, and if on earth to-d.iy, aud
ho should do iu Louisvillo what he did iu
Homo, when ho found Oucsimu.s, a runa
way slave belonging to Philemon, and in
stead of advising him to lake tho under
grouud railroad to Canada, he converted
him to Cfaisliunity, aud then sent him
back to his master, to servo him '-both in
the flesh and iu the Lord," Houry Ward
JJecelier auu lus UK would call &t. raul a
copperhead of the raukest kind.

days of old, to look to tho copperheads for

tQf' The Louisvillo Journal thus speaks
of the Republicans :
"The Republican party is now an out-and-out
radical party an abolition party
a revolutionary party a disunion party.
Upon its overthrow at tho ballot-box de
pends the suppression of '.ho rebellion, thu
biilvatiou of tho oouutry, and thu welfare
