Mr. Sewaud wrote to Minister Adams,
July a year, of the abolitionists, as fol
lows :
(tIt seems as if tho extreme advocates
f African slavery and its most vehement
opponents wero aotinp: In concert tho
former by making tho most desperate at
tompt to overthrow tho Federal Union
the latter by demanding an edict of urn
versal emancipation as a lawful and neces
tary, if not, as they say, tho only lcgiti-
mato way of saving the Union, '
"Now let tho Union men ogreo that
they will not in any case go as sub&tilttles
J or topper heads. II Copperheads wish to
get substitute?, let them get them from their
own ranks and let Union men see to it
that wo loso nothing by the operation." 1
Lcwisburg (Negro) Chronicle.
Tho above article lets the cat out of the
lag. Tho Abolition parly aru determined
that no man from their ranks, if drafted,
shall go in the army. Already tho Dc
rnocraoy arc represented in tho servico by
NINE out of ten soldiers, and still they
cry for more.
Hon. John C. Ellis, one of our Into
worthy Representatives in tho Lcgislatu
is rcccommended for rc-nominatiou, by a
writor in the last Janvilla Intelligencer.
Mr. Ellis is now iu Camp at Reading, in
tho capacity of a high private, in the ranks
of Capt.T. ChalfantVMcClellan Guards,'
faithfully defending his country's honor and
ojrn,fety from Robol Invasion. Ho is
the sort of a Democrat, tho Abolitionists
eall a "Copperhead." Let him bo tinan
imonsly re-nominated and with his lato
noble colleague Hon Gko.D. Jackson
they will bo re-elected by at least three
thousand majority.

jCS? Sotuo of the Republicans, rejoice
over tho fact that tho rebels whilo iu Ad
urns county, robbod Democrats of their
property, and otherwise treated them in a
disgraceful maimer. These men have not
tlio shrewdness to sec in what an incon
sistent position tho recital of euoli instan
ces placo them. Ever Mnco the war be
gan, tlioy havo been repeating tho chargo
that, a sympathizer existed between tho
rebels and Democrats, but no sooner do
the former cuter the State, than they give
tho lie to theso Abolition assertions. Wo
do oot know what better proof could bo
given of tlio sound Union sentiments ol
Deinoorals than tho fact that they aro
equally tinted by rebels and Abolitionists.
Domocratlo Mass Mooting.
On Saturday last, 8lli inet., tlio Democ
racy of Fiskingcrcok nnd adjoining town
ships, Columbia county, hold a Democratic
meeting in a Grovo bolonging to Widow
Sluckcr, lying botweon tho Forks and
Still Wntcr. It wos a boautiful and son
voniaut placo for tho meeting, and every
thing was woll arranged for tho occasion.
Tlio altcndanco was large. Estimated at
from 3 to 4,000 persons. Men, womon
and children, wcro thero from all direc
tion, eager to hear what tho speakers had
to say. Thero appears to bo no difficulty
in getting a largo turn-out to a Democratic
gathering now-a ilaystho pooplo seem
fairly alivo to tho oauso of Democracy.
Tho mooting camo to order by selecting
tho following gentlemen as oflicerB:
President. Andrew Freas, Esq., of
Lcntro township,
Vice Presidents, Hon, PetcrEut, Sam
uol Rhono, Esq., Henry Rittcnbcndcr,
Abraham J. Kline, John J. Stiles, John J
McHenry, James Edgar, J. D. Price, and
others.
Scctctarics. Wm. 11. Jacoby, Daniel
Mrllenry, Samuel R. Kliuo.
Tho meeting was addressed by Col. John
G. Frccr.o, Col. Levi L. Tato, and E. Ii.
Littlo, Esq. They in turn mado able
speeches. Col. Frcczo's theme was tlio
Constitution, which ho handled in a famil
iar and able manner. Tho specohea were
all good.
At tho cloto of tho speaking a patriotic
song was sung by some of tho young De
mocracy of Fishingcrcck, which took well
with tho audience j after which tho meet
ing adjourned by giving threo cheers for
their nominee for Governor George W.
Woodward and returning thanks to tin
speakers for their ablo and well fiiued ad
drosses. The Record.
"I know tho Democracy of tho North.
I know them not in their waning strength.
I do know a possihlo disunionist among
them all. I believe they will be as faith
ful to the Union now as they were in the
bygone djys when their ranks were full,
and their challcngo to the contest was al
ways tho war-cry of victory."
William 11. Seward, 1801.
Thero is the record of tho Democratic
Party, written by its bitterest opponent;
and since the hour it was penned no Dem
ocrat of tho North has breathed disunion ;
but all stand to-day where they ttood of
yore, upon tho platform of the integrity
of the Union and Constitution. Can Sew
ard say as muoh of his own party friends,
Stevens, Bingham, Conway, Phillips, Cas
sius M. Clay, N. Y. Tribune, and others
of tho leaders of the administration party ?
No I They aro odo and all for disunion,
unless reconstruction is upon the basis of
emancipation and amalgamation.
Northumberland News.
Wo learn that a Mr. Fisher, who holds
a commission as "special and confidential
agent of the United States," was tried this
week in Sunbury, for assault and battery,
upon a Mr. Zimmerman, whom ho as
special nnd confidential agent," had
arrested. Tlio offence, as wo are inform
ed, was that this young man, Zimmer
man, with others, being nt work in the
harvest field, amused themselves as Mr.
Fisher was passing, by singing "John
Brown's soul &o," for which Mr. F. re
proved them, when Mr. Z, advised him to
attend to his business and they would at
tend to theirs. This so enraged tho offi
cial that ho drew his revolvor and arrested
Zimmerman and look him oil' to Sunbury.
For this ho was prosecuted.

against this "special and confidential agent

Organize Domocrats f
Democrats I thorc novcr was a timo
when thero was a greater necessity fot or
ganization and unity of action. Wo aro
soon to enter upon a canvnss, tho results of
which will bo of vast importance to our
Stato. In view of tho calamitous condi
tion of tho country, it is nil important that
tho present party iu power should bo de
feated. There is much to encouraso tho
Domooraoy and inspire them to action.
Tho very bittorucss of tho opposition, tho
abuses of their authority by persecuting
Democrats, demands that no effort should
bo spared to eradicate thorn from office
As wo valuo our liberties und tho wclfaro
of our families, wo should do our whole
duty in tho coming canvass. If wo suc
ceed, as wo certainly will it wo do our duly,
our reward will bo amplo. If wo fail wo
will havo nothing with which to reproach
ourselves. It is a timo when every free
man should guard well his liberty at tho
ballot box. Our political adversaries arc
active. They aro organizing secretly, and
aro pledged to support the Administration
in every act. Wo havo already experi
enced tho acts of usurpation done in the
name of tho Union, which all havo been
sustained by that party. Wo may rest
assured that, if it can bo done with im
punity, they will bo increased a thousand
fold. Let the Democrats and conservative
men of Pennsylvania bo up and doing.
Let us all go to work and pursue our
courso regardless of the abuso or iutiini
datious of tho Abolitionists. Tho hearts
of the people arc with us. We have only
to conduct ihe campaign with firmness, de
termination and zeal in order to achieVo a
glorious victory. Tho Democratic party,
however, is uo place for cowards. He who
cannot receive tho intimidations of the Ab
olitionists with indifforoucc should at once
surrender and make terms with them. Ho
is not fit to bo a freeman. Eternal vigi
lance is tho prico of liberty, and they who
havo not the ncrvo to resist encroachments
which it requires no vigilance to discover,
aro unworthy of tho boon which they have
not tho courage to defend. We, therefore,
appeal to tho Democracy of this county and
of this State, ns they love their wives and
children, as they valuo their liberty, as
they pruo the comforts of their homes and
Grcsidcs, in the name of all that is dear to
them, to arouse themselves and prepare to
defend at tho ballot-box tho precious and
saored heritage of freedom, left, them by
their forefathers in tho Constitution of tho
United States. Organize in every neigh
borhood, form clubs,and prepare for action.

Democrats, and redeem your tato from

Abolition Loyalty-
We often hear of tho uttoranco of ''dis
loyal'' sentiments and tho treason oftho
misguided "Copperheads," but the follow
ing language, (so often quoted, but not
too frequently reproduced,) spoken by tho
Chicago Tribune, is perhaps a littlo ahead
of anything that has yet been u tered this
side of Mason and Dixon's lino:
''Givo us a rebel victory, let our armies
be destroyed, Maryland conquered, Wash-
iiigtoii captured, the President exiled, and
tut, "uvor, uuiui uuhi uyuu givo us incso
and anv other calamities flint nnn rnsnk
from defeat and ruin. sooner than a vietorv
with McClcllan as General."
The Tribune is an Abolition journal of
,, , , , .
tho Greeley school, and is, of courso,
permitted to print as much treason as it
pleases. Uut had the sarao language ap-
peared in a Damocratic journal, the "ma",

Alranv, Aug 10th. Tho following is
tho roply of Governor Soytnour to tho Pi cs-
dents lcttor :
Aluany Aug 8, 1803",
' To the President of the United States :
"I received your communication of tho
7th iust. to day.
"Whilo I recognize tho concessions you
.nnl-n T vanrM vnnr rnfttsnl (ft notntllv
with mv rcaucst to have the draft in this
Stato suspended until it can bo ascertained
f the enrolments are mado in accordance
with tho laws of Congress or with tho
principles of justice I know our army
needs recruits, and, for this and othor
reasons, I regret a decision which stands
in tho way of a prompt and cheerful move
ment to fill up the thinned ranks of our
regiments.
"New York nevor paused in her efforts
to send volunteers to the assistance of our
irnllant soldiers in the field. Sho has not
only met every call heretofore mado (whilo
every other Atlantic nnd New England
Stato, except Rhodo Island, have been de
linquent,) but has continued liberal boun
ties to volunteers when all efforts wcro
suspended in many other quarters. Ac
tive exertions aro now being mado to or
ganize uow aud fill up tho old regiments ;
these exertions will bo more successful if
the draft is suspended, aud muoh better
men than reluctant conscripts joiu tho
armios.
On tlio 7th I advised' yoU by letter that !
I would furnish the strongest proof of the
injustice, if not fraud, in tho enrollment
in certain quarters, I uow send tho full
report mado to me by Judge Advocate
Waterbury.
"I am confident when you have road
you will agree with me that the honor of
tho nation and your Administration de
maud that tho abuses which it points at
be corrected nnd punished. You say wo
arc contending with an enemy who, as you
understand, ''drives every ablo bodied
man ho can reach into tho ranks, very
much as tho butcher drives bullocks to
the slaughter pen." You will acrco with
me that even this, if impartialh done to all
classes is more tolerable than any schemo!
which thall fraudulently force a portion

"
a dishonest norvcrsion of the law
'
'You will sco lv the renoit of Mr. Wa-
tcrbury, that there is no theory which can
explain or justify tho enrollment in this
State. I wish to call your attention to the
tables, piges five, six, seven, and eight,
which show that in nine Congressional
Districts Manhattan, Long and Staton Is
lands, tho number of couscripts called for
is M 720, while in niuctcen othor districts
the number of conscripts called (oris 39-
025. This draft is to bo made from tho
. first class those between the aces of twon
ty aud thirty five. It appears by the con -
1 sus of 1800 that in the first nine Congress- j
ional Districts thero were 101,797 males I
