CoI-SWrigbt Elected to Congress.
At the late election held in his Congres
sional District, Col. H. B. Wright, of Lu
zerne, was elected to Congress with a hand
some "majority. The official vote' of the
iTDislrict to us is yet unknown ; but it is con-
ceded that Wright's majority will be from
four to fire thousand. In this county he
has a majority offive hundred and seventy
-ix votes. The vwhoIe-number of rotes
polled in ihe county were thirty-three hun
dred arid twsrHy-two ; eleven hundred and
twelve-less than were polled at last (all's
-election. "We hare not learned the vote of
Montour county," bat presume Wright has
carried it' by a tolerably fair majority.
Fort Pickens.
From the elaborate descriptions which
Mr. Russel has given of the traitor camp at
Teaeacola, and of the interior of -Fort Pick--ens,
it is-evident that he considered the lat
ter in but little danger from the attacks ' of
the former; while on the other hand he says
that "il Fort Pickens ' were made at once
the point tTappui for a vigorous offensive
movement by the fleet and a land force,"
he has Utile doubt that "Tensacola must
fall and that General Brag would be oblig
ed to-retire." The Confederates have evi
dently teea completely foiled in ht quar

Diplomatic Dinners, It.
rEvery few-days we have accounts from
"Washington of the "brilliancy of the Diplo
tnatic Dinners," the "Secretaries' Enter
tainments," the balls, receptions, parties,
and, in general, we learn that feasting -anil
hilarity are the order of the jay amongst
the guests. This may be all lery well in
its place; but, in the ;presort deplorable
condition of the country, such feasts had'
better be dispensed with, and the persons
engaged in them should 6el a i example ol
abstemiousness, instead of riotDUsly making
merry in the midst, of the guneral gloom
-and distress throughout the land. Such
scenes contrast to great disadvantage jrith
the universal prostration of business and the
sufferings of the people generally, and
should be dispensed with by those high in
authority at the National Capital. When
the civil war now ia progress is over
when rebellion is crushed out, and pros
perity again returns to -our beloved Union
il will be quite time -enough to ''rejoice
and make merry" al out good fortune, but
MOl lfore.
Treason.
The ex pression -of an opinioa is not trea
son, but the inde'easible birthright of every
American citizen. The same constitution
and code of laws which make treason a
capital offence jealously guard the freedom
of speech and the liberty of the press. The
first amendment of the Constitution is ex
plicate Ills as follows: ''Congress shall
taake -no law abridging the freedom of
speech or oT the -press." Let treason be
put down ; but neither the federal Govern
ment not its officers, nor Congress, have
any power to put down the freedom of the
press, and woe to the country when such
an attempt shall ever be seriously made.
The law of treason is to pro;ect the exis
tence of the governmeut ; the freedom of
the press guaranteed by the constitution is
the sacred palladium of the liberties ot the
people. Both are compatible and consist
ent; indeed the freedom of the press is the
best security of a free Government, and is
far more necessary to its existence than the
law ol treason.
How absurd is the doctrine that to oppose
war is treason. !l that were the case, then
no matter how unjust and how disastrous to
the interests of the country a war might be,
and if it lasted for ten years, no one could
advocate "peace without being indicted
as a traitor and incurring the penalty of a
capital offence. Was Lord Catham regard
ed as a traitor in England when he de
nounced in Parliament the war against the
independence of the American colonies?
Hor&ca Greeley denounced the war with
Mexico, and expressed a hope that our
troop3 might be cut to pieces.

We are beginning to have a dear under
standing ot me meaning ol tne "no party' I
: .i u -:.. i . i
cijr taiseu uy teriaui journals, says IU8
Patriot and Union. I: means the Demo
cratic party no party but' the Republican
party. Let Democrats propose to present a
candidate ' for Congress and they are sol
emnly admonished that this is no time for
political controversies that the friends of
ihe Union should not be divided and dis
tracted that it is treasonable to draw party
lines in this hour of peril. But let Republi
cans present their candidate and it is per
fectly proper and eminently patriotic. It is
the old game of "heads I win, tails -you
lose" o er again.
' On tha 2d of July the people of Philadel
phia will elect a' member of Congress to
supply the vacancy created by the resigna
tion of - E.- Joy - Morris. The Republicans
inted to nominate a man of their own,' and
elect him ;f they can. They have no idea
of overlooking party jn the choice of a can
didate, but they seem to be under the im
pression that the man they put up ought to
be swallowed by Democrats without ques
tion, and that it would even indicate a trea
sonable spirit for the Democratic party
to run a candidate in opposition in fact
dividing the friends of the Government and
affording aid and comfort to the enemy.
The cool effronlry with which this idea is
insisted upon can be best illustrated by an
extract from one of the recent "Occasional"
letters of John W. Forney, of the hall and
lacky department at Washington. That
eminent Republican and remarkable patri
ot, who serves his country without hope of
reward or fear of punishment, warns the
people ol Philadelphia against the machi- I
nations of certain traitors in their midst in
ihe following s'yle:
"Another of their expedients is to divide
the irieuds of the county in the special
elections that are about to be held for Rep
resentatives in 'CongTess. They are, of
course, active and vigiient in your Second
Congressional district Such men as Henry
M. Philips, W in. B. lieed George M. Whar
ton, William 11. Welsh, and J. B. Baker
flatter themselva that they will have an
easy triumph over the friends of the Gov
ernmeut. 1 understand thai they have
made the necessary arrangements to put
Hon. George M. Dallas in the field as their
candidate. Mr. Dallas is a t,real man and
a pood man, and his last speech, deliverer,
al his own resilience, was eminently patri
otic; but Mr Dallas has lived away from
the exciting issues which now disturb and
divide our cocniry, and cannot, therefore,
fully appreciate what the people will ex
pect from the man who will aspiro to rep
resent them in the National Councils."
Now is'ut this enough to convince every
reasonable man that treason is at work in
Philadelphia? Certain citizens of that
place are actually engaged in a plot, a deep
conspiracy, to ruin the Government, by
electing to Congress George M. Dallas, who
is admitted to be "a great man and a good
man," and a man whose last speech was
"eminently patriotic." Taking Mr. Dallas
at the estimate his enemies put upon him,
he is the very man who should be chosen
to represent the people of Philadelphia in
this crisis and yet it is treasonable for
Democrats to propose him as their candi
date ! We suppose that it would evince
great patriotism on their part if they would
quietly submit to the election of any infe
rior ward politician that the Republicans
propose, and Forney, Sanderson and that
set of men at Washington can use for their
own selfish purposes. They dare not ven
ture within hailing distauce of George M.
Dallas, and hence their dread of his elec
tion, and their attempt to frighten his triends
from the field by raising the cry of treason.
The Fourth of Jclt. The " Glorious
Fourth," with all the accompanying noise
and confusion, which usually attend it, will
soon be here. U has hitherto been the hab
it to celebrate it by fireworks of all sorts
and descriptions from tli3 penny Catha
rine wheel and squib to the aspiring rocket
and the unmanageable chaser. Already,
during the past few evening, we have
heard the noise of firecrackers, prophetic ol
the perpetual firing and smoke, which al
ways indicate the ushering in of the natal
day of oux country's independence. The
minor displays are contributed chiefly by
the juvenile, but ths "great blaze" digni
fied by tiie high sounding title of a ''pyro
technic display" is most generally made at
the expense of well dressed children of a
higher sphere. "Boys will be boys," and
you might as well try to run a railroad
across the Atlantic, as to prevent "Young
America" frora keeping their "Fourth of
July," but in these troubleous times, when
nothing but "wars and rumors of wars" are
to be read in the papers, and heard in the
streets, we think that these children of a
larger growth should keep a tight hold cf
their purse-strings, and economically lay
away the loose dollars which a love of coun
try, at other time:, would tempt them to
burn on the altars of patriotism, until this
unhappy civil war is over, and our arms
have triumphed, and then have a rousing
"Fourth," in whicb all may participate
the soldiers as well as ourselves. This, we
think, woulJ be an evidence of truer patri
otism than fie- useless waste of our money
for blowing powder in these tight times,
whet, the tlast of war is blowing in our ears-

U'e hatk received the ''Farmer and Gar
dener," with the "American Bee" Journal,'
for June. They are both excellent publica
tions, and treat upon nothing but what
would be highly important for every farmer
lo read and uuderstatrd. No farmer should
be without them. They are published by
Democrats Always Bight.
; We are thoroughly disgusted with nhe
tone of certain Republican journals' which
ate constantly saying of Democratic papers,
orators, and- masses, that are for standing
for their country in this hoTir of perl, that
"they have come round for the Union,"
and that kind of thing. "Union 6avers"
has been too long a term of reproach, used
by these new converts lo Unionism toward
Democrats, for us now meekly to submit
to the imputation that we were ever any
thing else ! than : Union ' men. Northern
Democrats have always been true to their
country and have never been willing "to
let the Union 6lide." It matters not with
Democrats what party is in power, for
they are always ready 10 fight in defence of
their1 Government and flag. They have
done so now. ' In spite of all the malicious
inuemioes of these peculiar friends of the
Government to the contrary, they are to-day
doing as much, (we will not say more) in
support of the present war as is being done
by the friends of the present administration;
they have turned out as many men to fight
its battles; their leading men and papers
are doing as much to rally the North in a
great overwhelming effort to maintain the
Government ; and they are paying their
full share of the immense cost of the con
flict ; and yet, forsooth, they must be met
with the insulting declaration from these
lipvaliant republican editors that "they have
come round for the Union !"
It gives us no pleasure to speak thus at
this time, when all should be united in a
common effort to save the country from
ruin, but it if not possible for Democrats to
stand everything. They do not shrink from
their duty ; but, when called upon to fight
for an Administration they had no hand in
placing in power,1 they do not wish to be
met with jibes and jeers on the part of those
they are aiding, or have their loyalty to the
Government and Union qnestioned. The
money and blood of Democrats are at the
service ol their country, and that, too, when
the radical portion of their opponents are
seeking to make the war, in its progress
and results, a 'war for the extinction of
slavery," instead of a great uprising of a
free people for the maintenance of Consti
tutional Government and the preservation
of a blood-bought and hallowed Union, but
they do not wish to be libelled by fana'.ics
who will neither fight nor pay unless com
pelled to.
This libelling Democrats has gone far
enough, and there must be an end to it, for
those who are doing it are doing an im
mense injury to the country. Their con
duct tends to keep up parly animosities,
and thereby to render many men inJitrer
ent and inactive, whose service would be
invaluable in this great crisis. P. tends also
to give aid and comfort to the enemy, by in
ducing them to believe that there are divis
ions among us upon which the North are
a unit, and thereby assuring them that they
have allies here ready to afford them aid,
and also puts arguments in their mouths to
unite their people, by showing them that
the war is here urged as a crusade against
slavery. Nothing that these libellers of the
Democracy could do, would work greater
injury to the cause they profess to support
ai.d il becomes all true men, all real friends
of the country, all who desire to see the
government maintained, and the Union
preserved, and our starry flag triumphant,
to unite their active efforts to crush out and
silence these malignant mischief-makers,
wLo prefer the gratification of their person
al and petty malice to the welfare of their
country. Democrats have always been
true to their country, and are now, and wilh
out their active, efficient and zealous co
operation, there can be no energetic and
succer-sful war, or honorable or advantage
ous peace. Democrats yield to nono in de
votion to the Union. They did all they
could to save il irom disruption, and they
will do all in their power to save and re
store it. If the sacrifice of every man, wo
man and child in this republic were neces
sary to restore the Araejican Union they
would regard it a cheap sacrifice for so
great a boon, but liicy will not submit to be
taunied with having ' come out for the Uni
on," when they have always been for i;.

Ccstom House Appoistments The Col
lector of the Port of Philadelphia, has an
nounced a batch of removals and ap
pointments, and notwithstanding the an
nouncement by the party in power that all
par'y differences must be laid aside, every
man turned oat is a Democrat, and every
one appointed is a Black Republican of tne
deepe&t dye. this is a little strange, espec
ially so when all th-e discharged ones are
known to be staunch Union men. The
same has been the case in the United Stales
Mint at Philadelphia, now under the con
trol of Ex Governor Pollock, of Miltoa. To
show how a great man in a high position
practically contradicts his noble self-sacrificing
"no party" pretentions, we append a
list of removals from the Mint. It will be
observed that the men removed held the
most humble positions : Blacksmiths, La
borers, Watchmen, &c, and were displaced
because they had not voted for the party
that appointed the Ex-Governor:
BlacksmithsAndrew Hackelt, Lawrence
Yuint, Aiken Guy. Gate-keeper John
Phillips. Firemen George Slaw, Charles
O'Dounel. Laborer Daniel Garrigan.
Watchman Thomas Meany, Patrick Mc
Laughlin, Bernard Farrel. Rollers Hen ry
Vanhorn, Jas. Boyd, John Mitchell, Hiram
Lambert, George Palmer, William Bowen.
Melters Jacob McLaaahlin, William Deal,
William Sink James Mongan, Jno. Crosby,
Timothy Dunn, Robert Selfridge, William
Sweeney, Henry Bartle. Conductors Geo.
Summers, John Burnbaum, Hugh McCaff
rey, Joseph Sixty. Carpenters William
Jeffreys, John Huster.
W8 copy the above statement from an
exchange, and cfIcourso have no fault to
find with any of the removals or new ap
pointments. It is the right of the Republi
can party to do.this if they choose, but the
fact that they are acting the lion in all pla
ces where they can, is sufficient to show
Democrats what they would do the country

So Help for Them.
Those editors who get the war fever up
to such i pitch that they wanted to fight all
Europe, but particularly England, on tne
unfounded assumption that it was disposed
to give aid and encouragement to what
Arteraus Ward, the great showman, calls
the "Southern Conlheiveracy," are begin
ning to realize that they have made geese
of themselves and indulged in a good deal
of senseless gabbling. As we asserted
would prove to be the ase, not a govern
ment ol Europe is going to aid the rebels,
directly or indirectly. And Kiipl-rul, against
which the New York Herald and Tribune,
and ihe whole pack of country newspapers
that bark as these "leading American jour
nals" whistle, clamored niot furiously, will
be the last of them all to play foul to the
government of the United State.
The New York papers, whose tone is so
slavishly adopted by the press of the coun
try, are the vory worst models of American
journalis-m. The Herall is always crazy,
and the Tnlune always bliud from maligni
ty. The frothy, slap-dash editorials of the

the Tribune is simply -a mad dog among
newspapers Whoever copies thoe jour

We insist upon it that Horace Greeley
shall be compelled to take the oath of alle
giance to tho United States, or eUe remove
himself and his old white coal and all his
personal effects, including his pes-.iferious
newspaper, out of the limits ol ihe country
covered by the Star Spangled Banner. As
a loyal citizen of the United States, and as
a faithful adherent to the glorious stars and
stripes, we demand that the government
compel Greeley to leave or lake ihe o;ith of
allegiauce at oi;ce. Our reaoon for making
this demand is because Greeley published
the following slanderous, disloyal and trai
torous as.ault on our flag in the 'ltilut.e in
1S54, and to this day he had never retracted
it. We say again, lei Gieeley be sworn in
or let him be run out one cr the other.

Fortress Monuok Fortress Monroe is
at Old Point Comfort, Virginia. In ihe lat
war with England, ihe enemy's fleet oi ihe
waters of the Chesipeake, and subt-equent
sackings of Wai-hingtcn, were not the least
striking eenl demonstrating the impor
tance of Hampton Roads, not only as the
chief roadstead on the Southern coast, but
as the key to the waters cf Virginia aud
Maryland. The first Congress thai met ai -
ler the declaration of paace in 1815, created
a board of naval officers and engineers, of
which General Bernard, a distinguished
French engineer, was one, instructed with
the selection of sites for a great Northern
and Southern naval, depot; and in 1S19
they recomended Brumell's bay, on James
river, for the one, and Charleston, in Boston
for the other. Fortress Monroe and Fort
Calhoun, on the "Rip Raps,' were projec
ted at the same time, having been recom
mended more especially by Gen. Bernard.
These fact3 were at once a necessary part
of the plan for establishing the naval depot
at Gosport, so lately the scene of the lamen
ted attempt at destruction by the govern
ment to prevent the navy yard, arsenal, and
several of our finest ships from tailing into
the bands of the rebels. Situated on the
poiul of land formed by the extreme 6hore
of Hampton Roads and the extreme western
6hore of the Chesapeake, known as Old
Point Comfort, Fortress Monroe is not only
the largest military post in the country, but
is one of the most important, not only for
defence against invasion, but for suppres
sing rebellion. Begau 1819, it can scarcely
be said to be completed yet although work
on it has been going on ever since. Tho
cost has been little short of 2,500 000.
The outer walls of the fort embrace an area
of about 65 acres, and the fine parade
ground inside is little less than 25 acres in
extent, regularly laid out and finely 6haded
by the live oak.

The Guilty Tarty.
The public indignation against the im
mense frauds that have been perpetrated
upon the volunteers of Pennsylvania, by
furnishing them with uniforms of the most
inferior quality, have become so strong that
all those who have had anything to do with
the contracts for supplying them, are vigo
rously trying to clear their skirts of the re
sponsibility. From this very fact many
rich lacts are being brought lo light. Geo.
M. Marlin, of Philadelphia, through whom
ihe contracts were made, has, as a matter
of self-defence, made some rich revelations.
He declares when brought to task by some
ol the officers of Camp Scott, a few days
since, that he had on'.y acted as the agent
of Gov. Curtin ; that the material'was des
ignated by our delectable Chief Magistrate,
and that he (Martin,) makes not one cent
of profit out of tho transaction. Those kind
hearted individuals in the community, who
have endeavored to apologize for the State
Administration and who have ued their
utmost exertions to convince ihe people
that if these outrages did exist, Governor
Curtin was innocent of the swindle, will
now have to combat some very ugly facts.
If Governor Curtin is not implicated in
these affairs, it devolved upon him lo prove
it. The case for the Commonwealth has
been clearly made oat ; it is now for the
defendant to refute the charges brought
against him.
A gentleman asked us the other day if
there was not some plan by which the
Governor could be deposed. There is none
other man by impeachment before the Sen
ate and unfortunately tho Legislature docs
not meet, unless at the special call of this
man Curtin, until next January. There is
one thing, however,that can be dono. Pub
lic sentiment will rectify the evil, if the
public journals of the State will have the
manliness, without distinction of party, to
come out and denounce it. We therefore
call upon the gentlemen of tho Repository
and Transcript to be as good as their pledge
and lay aside party distinction. Andrew
G. Cur'.in is no better than any other ras
cal who would cheat the Commonwealth
and country in limes like these, even if he
was unfortunately elected Governor of
Pennsylvania by the Republican party.
Let the gentlemen speak out ; public senti
ment demands it; every other paper in the
town has done so. When the administra
tion of James Buchanan became demoral
ized and corrupt, all the independent Dem
ocratic papers, which did not look for their
sustenance to ihe Government pap denounc
ed il in plain and bitter terms. Now, when
the shoe is on the other loot, let our Re
publican friends do likewise. CliumLeii

Fibe. On Thursday night last, our com
munity were startled out of their slumbers
by the fearful cry of "fire." in our streets,
and sharp and quick warning notes of the
fire bells as they rang on the midnight air.
On hastening to the scene of the disaster,
which proved fo be the Slaughter House of
Henry Moyer, situated on Ferry Street, be
tween the Canal and the Lackawanna Kail
road, we found the building almost entirely
consumed. The several fire engine were
promptly on the ground, but the building
standing entirely alone, it needed but little
effort to subdue the flames. Unfortunately
one horse, four large fat steers, and a calf
were consumed in the flames, which pro
duced a most sickening and pitiatle sight.
We witnessed one of the oxen writhing in
agony, after its legs were burnt oil at the
knee?, and its hide burned to a crisp. The
poor animal had succeeded in forcing its
head through the building, thus getting the
air which caused it to live longer than it
would otherwise have done, while the rest
were suffocated to dea.h before being half
so badly burned. One steer succsedel in
getting out of the building, though not until
it had been severe!) scorched. The fire
broke out about twelve o'clock, and is sup
posed to have been the work of an incendi
ary, as there had been no fire in the buil
ding since the Monday "preceding. The
loss is supposed to be about $800. No in

A Xew Democratic Ioruin Paper.
"THE "UNION."
With a view to meet a universally ad
mitted waiit, the undersigned will issue on
Moii'iav, the 1st of July iixt. a Morn in 5
Penny "Paper, to be called "THE UNION."
The great mission ol the Democratic
Tarty, which has ever stood as the bulwark
of the Union and the Cuampion ot tho
Constitution', renders its entire unity and
bold altiiui'e in thi hour of National peril
a matter of vital concern. The pending
struggle is not less for the maintenance of
a Un ted Country than for the Perpetuatioa
ot Democratic principles, as expounded by
Jeffersos and Jackson. Tne most momen
tous recall hanz upon the issue. Mere
party questions are for the lime by com
mon consent adjounred. Ihe past isdeid,
save in its lessons of experience.
The Democratic hoMa have not shrunk:
from their full share in the responsibilities
and dangers of the emergency. They have
rallied with one accord around the stand
ard cf our common country. But tho oc
casion imposes other duties. Tne Govern
ment will demand and receive the willing
support of every patriot, in its efforts to vin
dicate the National honor and re-asert the
National authority ; but the Preservation of
Constitutional Liberty tests mor with the
people than with Congress and Cabinet;
VuiUnce and Unity are therefore especial
ly requisite in the present juncture.
It is the pnri-oie of the Proprietors Id
make "THE UNION," in every respect a
first clas Journal. The Democracy of the
whole State feel the need oi a bold and
vigorous Metropolitan daily ; anJ r.o effort
will be spared to render "THE UNION'
both popular aud efficient as a newspaper,
and as a fearless exponent of the great
principle for which the Democratic party
have ever contended, and which are cdw
so unhappily imperilled.
The Proprietors have perfected such ar
rangements as will place the enterprise,
from -the beginning, upon a substantial
business basis, wiih abundant means lo
make a Newspaper second in interest ami
ability to no otber In the city ; and while
Ihe paper will be learlecsly Democratic, it
will sedulously avoid all faction, a4 the
deadliest bane to partv efficiency.
We look 10 ihe DEMOCRATIC MASSES
for support; and shall labor to make "THE
UNION" in every way worthy their confi
dence and liberal patronage, as a iresta,
readable and learles Journal.
