ously T
It cannot be said that airy great publio
interest demands the entertaiument of this
motion, for tho defendants have not been
restrained from executing the Conscript
Law against tho three plaintiffs even,
much less aginst any other citizons.
What tho publio interest demands is a do
'Cision of the constitutional question in the
Snpremo Court of tho United States a
decision wbiuh lbs President publicly de
clared he would facilitate and which our
ruling afforded the defendants an opportu
nity to obtain. Bat instead of shaping
the oaso for the Court, they havo taken
tho very course to keep it out of that
Court, and the country is tortured with
doubt and fears about drafts, which a de
cision oflbe constitutional question by the
ultimate tribunal would relievo. Why
should not such a deoision bo facilitated ?
ils the 'result feared I SujipoEoour judge
ment should be affirmed andtbia-Conscript
law, so uncongenial to the spirit of our
institutions, should bo tot 'aside, who doea
not see that civil liberty would gain a new
guarantee, whilst the Gpvernment, remitt
ed to the true constitutional mode of rais
ing armies by voluntary enlistments,
would strengthen itself in the affections of
the people, by oxeroising tho war power
in a manner more agreeable to them?
The Chief Justice discussed tho other
two qustionsin the case, and in so doing
he reiterates the views expressed in his
opinion when the case was before the
Court in November, is muoh strengthened
and conGrmed by the last argument, and
were shaken by nothing that was advanc
ed against them,
It seems evident'tb-at the Administra
tion fears a decision of-tbe important legal
question in1 the Supreme Court of the
United States, and .has therefore availed
itself of a partisan majority on tho Su
preme bench of Pennsylvania to keep tho
question out of the highest judicial tribu
nal, until tho political complexion of tho
United States Supremo Court haa.beenrso
changed as to render it certaiu that the
.President can control a majority of the
.Judges in favor of his revolutionary poli
toy. The indopeiidencc' of tho Judiciary,
lis ono of the most important features ol
our constitutional form of government, but
in tho hands of the .present rulers, our
courts of justice -are becoming tho oreatures
of tho Executive rather than tho author!-
attTC exponents of constitutional law.
Tut editors of thoso intensely loyal and
genuino nigger head papers, 'yclept, tho
"JDusliort Union," and Bloorasburg,iSmu
Machine," growl lustily, at -a recent-pro
position in this journal, to raise subscrip
tions for tho support of tbo family of -the
exiled Vallandigbam. Tho condemnation
of that or any other mearuro, by these
abolition whelps, would strongly commend
it to publio approval. And in regard to
our support of the war, whetherrrightfully
or otherwise, wo chargo it homo upon
those blatant abolition cowards,that w
have exceeded the efforts of all their tory
genealogy.

Who ai'e for the Union!
'Blatant as they ire on tho subject of
"loyalty," there is not a Lincolnite iu the
United States who dares to proclaim him.
self an unconditional Union man under
the Constitution. Their "loyalty" is tho
allegianco of tho subject to his king, the
serf to his master. They aro ''loyal" to
Lincoln, but disloyal to tho Constitution,
the Union, and every principle of free
white man's government. On tho other
hand, every iDemoorat in the land-is loyal
to tho Constitution and the .Union, and
opposed to Lincoln, his administration and
his party, because they aro disloyal, and
overy day plot and practice treason against
the government as established by its foun

Typhus or Spotted Fever.
The epedemio now raging in certain
portions of our State, seems. to be, from
tho information gleaned from thepapors to
be nothing more than an aggravated form
of tho Typhus fever. Woods practioo of

dreaded disease from tho timo of its first
appearance in-this country in 1807, up to

Tho Ono-tonth Scheme.
Tho Administration policy enunciated
in tho last Presidential massage, which
looks to tho establishment of bogus govern
ments in tho Southern States, through
which tho Adminibtration hopes to con
trol iho Northern States, nud thus perpet
uate its power, is being attempted in I.uui-
eiana. A correspondent of tho Chicago
nines writes :
I'Tho gamo has already bogun in Loui
siana. Already a convention (!) has been
held there, composod, not of citizens of
Louisiana, but ol abolition adventurers
from the North, runaway slaves, free ne
groes, and white men who, by tho laws of
tnat btate, arc debarred from tho olcclivo
franchise. Tliero might havo Icon a few
legal voters iu tho convention, but the
above constituted by far the largest num
ber of persons present. Theno facts
havo from a gentleman, a sincere Union
man, a man of largo proporty, who has
been for tho last twenty five yearn a citi
zen of that Stato. Thcc negroes and
ISortuorn aavsnturcM aro unnaceu in a
plot to revolutionize tho Stato of Louisiana
and bring that Stato under tho terms of
tho Presidents Proclamation. Negroes
voted in that convention tho samo us whito
men. Tho legal voto of Louisiana is
about 50,000 According to Mr. Lin
coln's Proclamation, it only requires 5,.
050 votes to overturn tho whole social and
political organization of tho State, to abol
ish tho old State constitution, and to placo
these negroes and Northern adventurers
at tho head of affairs in Louisiana.
Thcso 5.0G0 votos.cau easily be obtained.
.First, 2,000 soldiers .wilt bo marched up
to tho polls and mado to voto ; thon 2,500
negroes will bo brought .up, and their
votes laken ; lastly, the adventurers from
the North will vote; audio! tho work is
dono, and Louisiana will bo a free Stato
in tho -Union, by tho President's Procla
mation. What tho 50,000 real voturs-in
tho State will say to all this is a matter
of not tho slightest -consequence And

Tho abolition preachers aud tho Quak
ers, says tho Allentown Democrat) did
more than any other bodies of men aud
women in the land to produce this civil
war. For that reason, If for no other.
they should be made to do a fair share of
tho fighting. Hut over sinoo tbo conflict
begau they havo taken prcolous good caro
to keep out of tho waj of danger, and
they aro even now praying Congress to
exempt thcin from military duty on tho
ground of their concientious scruples.
Yet common sense suggests that men
whoso consciences allowed them to do so
muoh towards provoking this Moody do
mestic strile, should not for any moral or
.religious .reasons, bo rcliovcd from the
militia scrvioo which ovory citizen owes to
tho Government in limo of war. In truth
if all that class of persons in every com
munity wlio aro warinon in.timo of poaco
aud peace men in timo of war, wcro justly
dealt with by the civil authorities, thoy
would bo first called upon to shoulder
arms aud mado to tako position in tho
very front rank of tho army in overy bat
tle. By thus killing off all such meddling
mischievous, incendiary fomentors of dis
cord and strife, the people might hopo that
when puaco is onco faiily restored, thcro
would bo increased security for its per
manoncc. Thuro would probably bo no
objection to tho exemption of tho honest,
upright Clergyman, tho faithful and devo
ted Minister of tho Gospel, liut those
asking it aro generally of that class who
from tho begginnig of Abolition strife
preached from their pulpits against peace
and in favor of war, with all its horrors,
desolation, bloodshed and misery, To
them widows' tears and orphan's cries,
desolated .homes, anguish, hatred, destruc
tion of .property, morals and oven of a
wise and liberal Government and a happy
country, were nothing ''slavery must be
wiped out at all hazards." That was
