Ton PRESIDENT IN 18S4,
GEORGE B, M'CLELLAN
( Subject to Iho Decision of tho Democratic National
Convention, )
Hon. Henry W. Tracy.
Mr. Thaov, tho conservative Congress
man elect from thii District, Las gono to
Washington, to assume his duties in tho
ooming eventful Congress.
m We have had no conversation cither with
Mr. Tkaoy or with his moro immcdiato
frionds j and arc not advised of his present
position on tho quostionB which arc to bo
passed upon ; but wo greatly mistake tho
man if ho shall not bo found on tho sido
of civil liberty and law ; and against tho
ScnENCics, and Burnsides, and Butlers
who disgrace our country, our causo, and
our armB. They aro in nowiso tin repre
sentatives of any of tho three, havo no
personal merit, and have justly earned tho
condemnation of cvory honest man by their
arrogance, their folly and thoir vices.
Eleetod as Mr. Tiucy wan, over tho
candidato oi tho radicals, by nearly two
thousand majority, wo bclievo ho will rep.'
resent fairly their wishes and views ; that
'his votes will bo for tho Union, tho Consti
tution, civil liberty and municipal law;
and that tho radical abolitionists who uro
for tho destruction of each and all of them
will meet no lavor at his hands. They
deservo none on any account.
Treason.
Treason is defined in tho Constitution
to bo and "consist only in levying war
against tho United States, or in adhoring
to their enemies, giving them aid and com
fort," The only clear casos of t'roason in the
North under tho Constitution are thoso of
Harvey, now a Foreign Minister under
Lincoln ; who telegraphed to Charleston
of tho intended naval operations against it
by our fleet ; and moro lately by Stanton,
deputy collector, and his son, at tho port
of New York, who cleared vessels for
Southern ports, knowingly, whioh vessels
carried arms, clothing and merchandise
mostly needed at tho South.
Now thoso mon ought clearly to have
been sorely punished as they were clearly
guilty of treason ; but fortunately for.them,
tho party who now rulo regard the Consti
tution as a ''league with death and a cov
enant with hell," and a crimo defined by
that disregarded instrument, is of oourso no
longer a crimo.
Thus Harvey is made a Foreign Min
ister for giving valuable information to tho
enemy at the very beginning of tho war ;
and Stanton coins money at the New
York Custom House out of contraband
goods sent to the enemies of the Govern
i ment. All this with impunity, and defen
ded and excused by the venial press that
sings tho praises of Abraham Lincoln.
i
We notice in the Abolition popers along
string of ''things" entitled "what tho Ad
ministration has done I" what it has
conquered, retaken, developed, demonstra
ted, fortified, fostered, defended, added,
abolished, retrieved',, givsn us, &c. Of
courso all aro lies, or specious pleadings,
yet granting that tho "Administration"
Las dono all claimed, we should liko to
know what the Government of the United
States has been doing the last two and a
tialf years. The Goverment will havo to
Jook out for its laurols whon tho Adminis
tration begin to make its claims.
It is rumored that Governor Bradford,
of Maryland, refuses to givo certificates
of election to those persons who were
foisted on tho people of that Stato as
Members of Congress, by Military ter
rorism and illegal test oaths. There was
certainly no fair and honest election in tho
State, and the Governor owes it to him
self and bis constituents, to see that tho
laws of the Commonwealth are honored
end respected. Wo shall see in a few
days whether Governor Bradford has the
"back bono."
ft is whhpercd among the knowing ones
that tho forthcoming Message of tho Pres
ident will exhibit a disposition on his part
to act independently of the Radical clique
that has presumed to run the Government
machine and dictate the policy of the Ad
ministration, Republican exchange.
This announcement is too encouraging
to bo reliable,

The Notorious "Geo. Thomson."
Tho following telegraph dispatch from
Boston Las been published by tho associa
ted press all over tho oounlry :
'Tho Liberator, of this city, announces
that tho lion. Gooro Thomson, Iho Eng
lish Abolitionist, will soon visit this coun
try, to congratulate his friends upon the
improved aspect of affairs,"
This notorious ucditionary has twico
visited America to incito discord and re
bellion ; and twico has beon driven from
our soil, narrowly osoaping tho vongoanoo
of an outraged populaoo.
His laBt advent hero was somo twclvo
years ago, at Fanucl Hall, Boston, when
Lis bold sedition and treason was too out
rageous for oven tho pcoplo of that saintly
hot-bed of Abolitionism ; and ho osoapod
violcnoo only by disguising himself in tho
petticoats of Abby Foster, and undor es
cort of Garrison and Phillips was smug
gled into Canada.
Now it is gravely announced that this
notations inciter of National discord will
again polluto our soil wih his prosnco,
"lo congiatulatc his friends vpon the
IMPROVED ASPECT OP AFFAIRS' ! Ifho
is permitted to raiso his voico in publio,
bringing with him, as Lo will, Lis black
record, it will be a sad oommotary on our
National solf-respect."
Tho "aspect of affairs" havo indeod
changed Binoo tho emissary of Europe last
visited us. He then found us united, peace
ful, prosperous, and happy throughout tho
wholo extent of our broad domain. Now
an awful rebellion is raging in our midst,
the frionds of tho Union arc straining ev
ery nervo to savo tho Nation's vitality,
and tho terrible effects of tho carnage of
war has bocn felt in almost every house
hold. This "aspect of affairs" Groat
Britain has long prayed for, and Thomson
and his Abolition admirers have long
labored to effect. But tbe great mass of
tho people on this sido of tho Atlantic fail
to discover in it an "improvement," and
Thomson will bo likely to discover this
fact if ho pays us another visit.
But wc have no expectation that tho ex
member of Parliament has tho brazen
hardihood to again dishonor tho Biitish
orown by his presenco on our soil. Tho
Liberator has probably tht own this out as
a "feeler" to draw publio sentiment, and
we hope'it will bo given without stint or
measure.

A week or so aco. the Secretary of
War announced to tho country that he had
reliable information that tho rebels wcro
about to invade the country from Canada.
Tho Canadian papers only laugh at it, and
says there is not a word of truth in the re
port. A large number of students of tho

Pennsylvania "furnishes" two U. S.

"furnish" twelve !
A Democratic friend profounds tho fol
lowing question : "How muoh havo the
planks of tho Chicago platform cost per

Clinton Democrat, which interests thirty
millions of Americans, but it will never bo
computed, scarcely, tho immenso debt, to
say nothing of tho blood, tho tears and
lamentations of tho widows and tho or
phans. Father Abraham delivered another
ablo and eloquent speeoh at Gettysburg
last week. He was serenaded by a Band
in the evening and being called out ho re-
maruea mat "no nan very iittio to say
that no man should say any tiling unless
ho had something to Bay, and that as ho
had nothing to say he would Bay nothing

lary mansiaugnter, in bbooting a man
named Solomon Siegfriend, and sentenced
to pay a fiuo of ono hundred dollars and

Mn. Lincoln's "dog" Forney says
"wo want no soldiors under our banners
whoso sentiments are such as thoso en
tcrtained by Gen. McUlollan." Very

WAR NEWB.
Tho Army of tho Potoraao, undor com
manu ot uon. lUcaUe, broke camp on
Thursday last, Nov. 20th and marched'
towards the Rapidan river in throo col
umns, Thcro was brisk and ofton serious skir
mishes in tho movement. Largo numbers
of prisoners Lad ohangod hands, and the
killed and wounded on both sides would
ovidently amount to six or seven hundred.
Tho oncmio's line of battlo had not been
found at noon on Saturday, but as the mes
senger rodo northward Lo heard a can
nonade much mora rapid and continuous
that that of tho early morning or previ
ous day, indicating sovcro fighting,
General Mcado has begun a movemont
against tho enemy novor before, wo think,
practiced in this war. Ho has gathered
togothcr rations sufficient to last fifteen or
twonty days, and after disposing his forces
so as to cover front, flanks and rear, has
boldly advanced into tho encmio's oountry,
abandoning tho ground to them as ho
marched over it. By this movomout he
renders a base of supplies unnecessary,
and can attack tho enemy whenever he

Tho Orange Railroad, over which all

'Iho road between Culpepcr and tho Rap
pahannock has been completely distroyed,
tho iron being sunt to Alexandra to savo it
from tho encmio's clutches, llaviug cross-
cd over tho Rapidau, it is very likely that
numerous squads of guerillas havo already
occupied tho country just abandoned, and
c aro.thus cut off from all communication.

ed, therefore, wo can have no information
of its object or result. Rumors, of courso,
will reach us, but they will bo baseless.
From Cattanooga, tho only intelligence
is a very strangely written report of the
battlo sent to Washington by General
Moigs, tho exiled Chief Quartermaster of
tho army. It is dated on Thursday last,
and places tho number of artillery captur
ed at thirty. General Meigs' report is
strong evidence in lavor of tho theory that
the enemy were outmanoeuvred in the late
battle ; and that their forces on Mission
Ridge and Lookout Mountain were not
their main bodies, but were dotaobmenta
sent to hold the hills until a retreat became
necessary Grant's army has, no doubt,
stopped short in tho pursuit, or clso wo
would havo had somo furthor intclliirciice
of its progress. General Hooker can bo
traced to Ringgold, on Taylor's Ridgo,
east of tho Chickamauga, whero ho was on
Thursday night. Ho seems to havo halt
ed there and gono no further. General
Sherman can bo traced to Tyner's Station
four miles cast of the Chickamauga and
seven north of Ringgold, anil thero ho ap
pears to havo stopped. A cavalry force
sent out by him met a sugerios body of tho '
enemy a few miles eastward, and after!
much trouble succeeded in eluding them
and getting back to camp. The losses of
tho Federal army aro placed at thirty-two i
hundred. No estimate is mado of the
number of Confederate prisonors. Chat
tanooga seems to havo been a strango bat
tlo. After three days' fighting, but thrco
thousand aro killed and wounded. We
await, with anxiety, some clearing up of
the mystery which seems to evelop every
thing in that section.
Major General Thomas has telegraphed
to tho President, that in his lato opera
tions, which have been so entirely success
ful, he acted in accordance with the plans
fully matured by Major General llose
crans, previous to bis removal from tho
command of the army of the Cumberland.
This voluntary acknowledgment is honor
ablo to General Thomas, while it givos
General Roseorans that oredit which is his
due.

is offered for tho arrest of Morgan.
From Knoxvillo wo have no news which

The autumn wind had Just begun
To sigh among tho trees.
Autumnal colors Just began
To change the verdant leaves.
The beauteous flowers of summer.
II ml Jutt began to fade,
When up there In tho old church-yard,
Sweet Norn's grave was made.
I saw her In the happy ilayi
Of childhood young and gay,
Around tho family circle
With Iittio brothers play.
I taw her with her childish glee
Tho table's cares bcgullo;
And from their childish grief and car
Her Iittio brothers wllo.
The fond mother's eyes grew brighter.
Watching her darling child.
And upon their only daughter
Tho father kindly smiled,
And I watched her winning beauty,
Her loveliness of mien,
Amid that family circle
Angclic.dld she seem,
1 taw her when In her sickness,
When on her bed of death,
Leaning on Iter mother's bosom
Gasping for every breath.
I saw her cold and lifeless form
Within her coffin laid,
A smile of heavenly beauty then
O'er her fair features played.
Then they took that little coffin
Hid it beneath tho ground,
And up In the old grnvo-yard then
Heaped Iittio Nora's mound,
0 how 1 wondered then that death
In such a world ns ours
Would leave tho bristling thorns standi
And pluck ourf.urcst flowers:
Cut 'tis thus It often happens,
God's works ore for the best,
lie take our Idols from our arms
Our dearest to Ills rest.
And I visited the household
Where Noru used to dwell,
As I looked upon tho circle
That loved their Nora well.
There waB something In tho stillness
Whispered our darling's gone,
1 looked and nmid the circle
nllsscd llttlB Non' form.
' 'Tis lonesome here," tho mother said.
And heaved a little sigh;
" "J'ls lonesome here," tho mother sobbed
Since Noru had to die."
Tend mother dry those bitter tears,
Why weep for N'oba's sake 1
Tor up in that bright land above
Your Nora, God did take.
Let little ones come unto me
I'orbld them not, lie cried ;
And hoppy up in Heaven now .
Is Noru by His sido.
Tho happy Paradise nbovo
Of such ns she is made,
0 grieve not that in tho grave then
Your Nora's form is laid.
Bho dwells in that happy ningdon
Where God in love doth reign ;
And your sad loss fond mother is
Nora's eternal gain.

Col. Tate: Having recalled to mind
past occurrences and duly deliberated, up
on them, I am impelled to write a few lines
for publication for which pleaso permit
space in your valuablo paper that the read
ers of the same may know tho opinion of
him who punned them. The Democrats of
Pennsylvania failed to elect George W.
Woodward Governor, not because they
wcro less united in sustaining tho princi
pals upon which over government wasfoun
ded than thoy formerly were nor bcoauso
they doubted their Nominee's fidelity to
tho Constitution or his competency in any
respect, to perforin tho duties belonging to
the office hut because nouo of the army
could havo furloughs, but thoso who would
pledge themselves before leaving, to vote
for Curiiti. This unfair means, with the
millions of greenbacks at thoir command,
tuo Abolitiousts eltectcu tlieir sucoss.
That thoy succeeded in olecdog Curtin in
this unconstitutional manner, is unques
tionable Is such work to go uncorrected?
If so, what hope can wo have of suoess in
future elections ? Wo can judgo tho fu
ture by tho past, and judging by tho past
knowing tho unlawful manner in which
tho recently held elections were conducted
by tho Republicans, and tho acquiesenco on
the part of the Democrats to it. I belicvo
that futuro elections will be of no account
unless the Demoorats provo moro Crm, al
low no frauds, nothing but free aud fair
elections.
I am unablo to conceivo aDy constitu
nl mode by whioh to restore poaco and
unity to our land as long as those in pow
er are permitted to go unrestrained in the
course they havo been pursuing since thoir
inauguration. Having tho power they in
tend to use it to effect. Their purpose
which is to abolish slavery and retain
power regardless of the constitutionality
of any act they may soe proper to commit,
1 deem it right that tho decission made
by the Suprome Court of our Stato should
bo observed and enforced regardless of all
Proclamations, if not tho Judges of our
State Court had better rosign their com
mission, as thoy would be of no avail. 1
think wo ought to regard and hold sacred
decisions mado by tho Judges of tho Su
premo Court of our Stato if consistent with
tho Constitution of the United States bo

right and order.

frofitoblo Investment.
Tho Philadelphia Noth Aincrican gtves
somo excellent ndvico lo thoso who wish
to invest monoy. It is well for all who
are In funds to heed tho counsel :
"Though monoy Las boon temporlllyBOBrcn
capital continues abundant ; and tho re
cent tumble in tho stock markot Las
brought capitalists to a realizing sense of
tho unreliable character of many of tho se
curities dealt in. It isgrcatly to tho credit
of tho Government that its loans, of all tho
securities daily dealt in on tho market,
havo maintained their integrity of prico
better than almost anything else. Its
Pivo-twenty year six per cent, loan, the
interest on which is promptly paid in gold
has been subscribed to, all through tho
pressure in tho monoy markot, at an aver-
ago of moro than two millions per day. 1
And what is not tho least gratifying fact
n connection with tho" daily largo suhsorip-1
tioni to this nonnlar loan, scarce! v auv of
it is returned to thcTmarkct for sale. It
is taken for investment, and is hold with
unfaltering confidonce in its reliability,
And why should it not be? It is seen
that tho Government now, aftor two years
of the most gigantio war that tho world
has over known, experiences ho difficulty
in commanding tho necessary means to
proscoute it, or in paying royulnrly tho in
tcrest in gold as it falls due. If this can
bo dono whilo tho war is being waged,
who can anticipate any difficulty in readily
accomplishing it whon tho war shall ended? ,

Wht bettor investment then, for capital,
