TOR PRESIDENT IN 1064,
GEORGE B, M'CLELLAN
( Bubjsctto lh decision of the National Convention,)
Lincoln's Abolition Policy.
In his last messago the President has
thrown to the winds everything liko con
stitutional law, tho vested rights of States
and conciliation, and with autocratic dio- j
.anon ..as prcsonocu tno luiuro status of ,
tho Holiel Pint. n,wl :.,l.ot.:i....,
tho Rebel States and their inhabitants.
This cunningly devised document is to be
used as a political lever to perpetuato his
own dictatorial power upon this continent.
Ho knows that no considerable number of
'Confederates will ever subscribe to tho test
oath ho lias created to support tho procla
mations and other radical measures ho has
inaugurated during his Abolition rule
il .1
uousequcmiy our august manor creates a
law allowing onc-lenth part of tho pcoplo
oi a state to represent such btate. With
tho idea, probably, that tho patronage and
influence of tho Government would be
sufficient to corrupt and secure a tenth
part of tho most corrupt eloment of each
Slate to tho purposes of the faction in pow
er, our ruler has seen fit to issue this ukase
Tho experience ho has had with such par
tisan as Judge Adrooatc Holt has doubt
less decided him to risk tho chances ol sc
ouring this fraction of the voters ofcaoh
State.
According to this message, wo can have
no peace, no restoration and no cessation
of tho enormous waste of lifcond treasure,
until tho peculiar idea and polioy as well
as tho political aspirations of Abraham
Lincoln havo been fully carried out. The
absolute will of our Iladical Abolition
rulers is herein announced as tho future of '
action, respecting war, peace, and the ez-fl
istenee oi States. On one condition and
one ouiy, can tnose in
arms against the
United States bo allowed to return to their
rights under tho Constitution. This con
dition is an oath to subscribe to the pri
vate opinions, and the ambitious personal
and patty designs of Abraham Lincoln,
the pr ee nt exponent oj the Radical Mo
ti'.ionj action I
Is thero a sensible man in tho United
States who doubts but that this uaurna-
tion of dictatorial power will tend directly
to prolong tho war indefinitely, to oontinue
to deluge the nation in blood, ond to push
us on to national bankruptcy ?
Tho South has always maintained and
sincerely believed that tho election of a
Republican President and the establish-
meutofa llepublioan party would consti -
tutu a direct attack upon their domestic in
stitution of slavery. They have ascrtod
and behoved that the union and harmony
r.i. . it i i , r
ot tho States would be deemed of second-
iufuc uy tuo party ,n compan-
ouu u. auoiiuon oi slavery many
7eaw of meddlesome interference, of abuse
and vituperation on tho part of their ora-
tor, editors and pamphleteers, long since
convinced the Southern mind that
tUCV
had nothing to hope from this party but'
fa. 1 i""1 uuk
oittor, persistent and uncompromising '
hostility to tbeir domestic institution and
their material interests. With these itn--pressious
the South rushed into rebellion,
and our ecctional and partisan rules ac
cepted the contest with tho end aud aim of
exterminating their Southern enemies aud
slavery at thc same time. And what has
the result proved 1 Simply lhat tho South
erners wcro right; that the war had not
neon wagcu lor tno restoration ot tbe Un-
ion and thc future fraternity of the States, tho Constitution, and has graciously al
butfor tie abolition of slavery and the ! lowed his Souther subjects to uxut, pro
forcible perpetuation of Abolition sway! vided they will adopt his radical nearo
over this once free llepublic.

A Piotaro of Curtin.
Of coune no body expected cither gen
erosity, magnanimity or truth, in Curtins
Moiogo 5 but wo vculuro to say, that few
persons anticipated tho depth of inoauucss
and falsehood, implied if not spokon to
whioh he would descend to injuro if ho
could, n political opponent, though Gov
ernor of a sovereign state. Wo need not
rccapitulato tho history of the Inst raid
into Pennsylvania ; it is known by heart
to all our citizen.
The prompt and patriotic notion of Sey
raour of Now York and Parker of New
Jersy, arc fresh in tho recollection of all;
and one would supposo in tho mind of no
one more vivid than that of Curtin him
self. And so supposing, we should look
to the Annual Messago of tho Governor
of Pennsylvania, for a generous recogni
tion of the services of those Patriotic Gov
ernors, in our dofonce, at tho hour of our
,6oro need, and to thanks fairlv and hear
f,iy rendered, for such immense assistances
the pcoplo of Pennsylvania would all say,
"
AtllCU 1
But not only is there no such recogni
tion, but Gov. Curtin suppresses tho trutli
as to his own action, in order to obviato
the necessity to do so. lie says "tho
President made requisition" &o. His
fright or something clso quite a: strong
must have driven from his head what hu
did.
The following is all Curtin says, of
'Now York and Now Jerscv, Governors
or troops. It is a disnraco to tho state.
though not to Curtin, for nothiug can dis
grace him. He is beneath that ulrcady.
Curtin says :
Tho rebels having actually ontcrod the
State in sonic force, auu the approach of
mcir wuoiu army being imminent, tho
President made a requisition for militia
from this and some of the ncigboring States,
and several regiments from Now York
and New Jersey wore promptly sent, and
our own volunteer militia begau to assem
ble. Search his Message and you will Gnd
nothing moro ; and jou would hardly sup
pose from that, that Curtin in his terrible
fright had sent to Seymour such a tele
gram as the following. Governor Sey
mour in his message says :
On the second day ol July I received
lnc following dispatch from the Governor
il;m Jn, 8 18M
, To His Excellency Governor Seymour
Send forward more troops as rapidly as
possible ; every hour increases the neces
sity (or a largo force to protect Pennsyl
vania. The battles of yesterday wore noi
decisive, and if Meade should be defeated,
unless wo havo a largo army, this State
will bo over run by the llebols.
A. G. CU11TIN.

Moro troops were immediately tout off
in pursuance of this urgent appeal. The
otatc lias just reason to be pruuu ul the

Willi AMsrouT, Pa. Jnu. IU, 1804.
Hon. Wm. Hoi'kinh Dear- Sir : If
iu these terrible times tho community could
bo surprised at any thing which can hap
pen, they would assuredly bo astounded
with tho bold and revolutionary attempt,
now being made by tho party in power, to
override the constitution, and to usurp tho
powers of our Statu Senate.
Nothing can bo plainer than tho con
stitutional rtquircinont that tho "General
Assembly shall moot on tho first Tuesday
of January, in over year," ond that then
"each House shall chooso its Speaker, and
other officers,'' Not only is tho Sonata
authorised and dircctod to choose its
Speaker, and tho Houso of Representatives
to choose its Speaker, but each Houso,
(that is, evert llouie,) as it is constituted
when tho General Assembly meets, shall
chooso ita Speaker aud other officers.
This has been tho construction of those
sections of the Constitution which haw ob
tained without tho interruption, and with
out question front any quarter, from tho
adoption oC tho constitution, in 1790, un
til tho meeting of tho Genoral Assembly,
iu 18G1. Tho Speaker of a former
"House'' (as each branch of the Legis
lature is denominated,) only presides un
til thc credentials of a ntio "House" arc
laid before him. Then he must rciire.
His duties have been performed, and his
p mors are ended. This is not only ac
cording to the constitution, but it is in
strict coulormity with the cxpericuoo of
thc past.

of the Supremo Court of Pennsylvania,

introduced a resolution tor tho expulsion
of Hon. Garrett Davis, of Kentucky, from

given offenca to tho loyalists ol Wilson's
stamp by thc introduction of a wrics of
resolutions on tlio stato o. tho country, In
which tho abolition polio of tho Adminis
tration is soverely contli iuncd, and it is
declared that ''tho poop of the North
ought to revolt against t .e Wur leaders,
and take this groat mat iu their own

ly disloyal talk ; and ch urges Mr. Davis
with beiug ''guilty of advising the people
of tho United States to treasonable, insur
rectionary and rebellious action against
the Government of the United States,''

TnERE is (.aid to be a very pretty quar
rel among "their highnesses" in Washing
ton. Some members of the Cabinet, it is
alleged, are not onepeakiug leims.aud the
fact that Chase, Stautou aud Welles did
uot go the to the inauguration of thc grave
yard at Gettysburg, aud thatMrs. Lincoln
refused to atteud Kato Chase's wedding,
are motioned as evidences of tiiu way thc
things works,
Tub Now York Times says :
" 1 tic (jrovcmuieut is determined to
have the personal service of jujt as many
young men as it requires voluutary if it
can, compulsory if it must. It is not so
much a question to thc pouug men wheth
er they will go as how they shall go by
choice or coercion."
If such is to bo tho character of the
government of tho United States, what
mother would not shudder at the thought
of bringing a child iuto the world to bo
the victim of such u devilish despotism ?
Tho Washington correspondent of the
New York Journal of Commerce, pays tho
following compliment to tho Hon. Myer
Strouse, a Pennsylvania Congressman :
"The Gorman population of the country
will be pleasod to learu that Mr. Strouse,
of Pennsylvania, has iuaugurated a movo
went in the Houso of Representatives, to
have certain public documents printed iu
tho Gorman language It is a good idea,
is simply a matter of common justico to a
large body of our intelligent population,
and as it promises to bo successful, Mr.
Strouse will deserve tho kindly remem
brauco of those specially interested.

Important to Drafted Men
in 1002.
Hon. Wil.iam Whiting. Solicitor of thc
War Deportment, delivered an opinion,
j sonic time since, on the question of liabil
ity to servo, of men dratted in Pennsylva
nia, in IfcfivJ, but who have never been
mustered into birvice. Thc following is
thc
Opinion: Militia men drafted under
laws ot tLe Stato of Pennsylvania, uot
having been muktercd into thc service of
the U. S. eaunot lawfully bo treated as
de.-erters. Inasmuch as thc number of
troop and tho length of their Bervice in
tho different States, havo been or will be
taken into consideration by thc President',
so as to equalize the eanie among the
tho States iu tho draft which is soon to be
ordered uuder thc act of I8UU, and as the
deficit of Hoops of Pennsylvania will thus
bo made up, it is my opinion that no fur
ther proceedings bhould be taken in rela
tion to the persons drafted last fall.
