Fpeclal Election in Uuck nl f.ebfgh.
The Democracy at the special election in
the Lehigh District elected their candidate,
Mr Stiles, to Congress on last Saturday a
.week, by a majority of nearly $ix hundred
AU kinds of opposition were brought to
bear upon the Democratic candidate, charg
ing him with being a "sympathiser with
the Rebels, willing to make peace with
them nport any terms." and denounced him j
as a "Breckinridger," but in spite of these t
fihe charges, he ws triumphantly elected I
over hi? opponent by about SIX HUNDRED'
MAJORITY, and that too in a District which
not seldom but frequently elects an Oppo
sition. This old song of traitor, diuniot,isl ,
and, seeetaioniit, is a bo at 'played out,' which
in this case, is pretty finely demonstrated.
Mr. Stiles fill? the vacancy caused by the
death of Dr. Cooper. Mr. Stiles is a man
of fine abilities, and in him, the District he 1
t
represents have a worthy and able defender
of the Union, the laws and the Constitution.
The result of this election is merely the
forshadowing of what will take place in !
October pest. The Republican party never
can 6Qivive sufficient ;to creep into power
after once turned out, as they will be, with
a greater majority than they went in. That
party can never be resuscitated. Each suc
ceeding day seems to draw the nation deep
er into the vortex of anarchy, and even the
pilot of the ship of State grows giddy from
the whirl that seemingly hurries us down
ward.
Ser esalon and Abolition Ttc Same
Tat. Abolition press throughout the coun
try are in a great dilemma to know how to
release themselves from the great wrongs
they have perpetrated upon the people and
laws of the country. They have brought
this government in such a condition a the
world never before saw. For years they
have been engaged io engendering strife
between the two sections of this country,
and their teaching have been in common
with those of the secessionists of the South.
-They labored for a dissolution of this Union
for a number of years, and now being in a
fair way to accomplish what they so much
desired, still they fight under a pretext of
saving the Union. This may be all eli
enough ; but we Lave very little faith in
the Abolitionists, when they claim to be
ihe only true friends of this Union. The
Democratic party and the conservative por
tion of the Republican party can only save
the Union ; the Abolitionists are co-laborers
with the secessionists of the South, all
working for the same end a dissolution. -They
should receive their just deserts, by
being buried together in the same grave,
then the country would t,nce more enjoy
peace. No; tiil the rebels of the South and
the traitors of the North the ' Abolitionists
-ara put down, and that effectually, will
this Unioo fc restored, if ever Thi matd
b? Jjne in order to accomplish any good.

Wfco arc tlie Traitors !
The Republican papers are jnst now
bristling and blazing all over with such ep
ithets as "traitor," "treason "and "disunion
ist," which they hurl at the heads of every
body, North or South, who does not quietly
acquiesce in their bloody pUtform of the
war. .
Did not the ?outh warn the North that
unless il ceased to rnakfl war upon her in
stitutions, it would be impossible to remain
in political anion with it ? Did she not en
treat the Nonh, by the memory of our fath
ers, and by the common blood which all
sections freely devoted to the achievement
of our national existence, to desist, and did
she not declare that, whenever a Presided
was elected by the northern States alone,
on the distinctive ground of hostility to the
institutions and domestic peace of the
South, she would feel compelled, in self re
spect, and for self preservation to cancel
the bond of union which united her to her
enemies. To what indignities did the not
submit before taking the last step? How
many years is it since we ceased to treat
her as an equal in the partnership of the
Union? Did we not pass laws robbing her
of her constitutional rights relative to her
fugitive "slaves?" Did we not deprive
them of the right of way in transi'u over
one-half of onr common .country ? Did we
not elect a President on the avowed plat
form of locking them out of every inch of
the common public domain ? Did we not
eay by this act that we would treat them a
inferiors, who thall have no share in the
territorial wealth of onr common country ?
Nor did we stop here We kept up an agi
tation which readers their property and
their lives insecure. We fostered a public
opinion which sent John Brown assassins,
clergymen, and peddiers, with knapsacks
and carpet birgs. ful' of strichnine and pis
tola, as missionaries to teach the negroes
how to murder their masters. Our northern
Senators held tharn up as tyrants, tbeives,
villains and barbarians, in the Senae cham
ber of the United States. Those in the
North who have for jeers waged a war up
on the Constitution that was framed by our
fathers who succeeded at last in breaking
np the Union now seek to brand as trai
tors the mfan who have resisted their unholy
and revolutionary doctrines But we throw
back the ignominious words into their own
facus, and we tell them that uot only do we
believe them to be the real traitors, but, a
God is our witnesa, we believe they will
receive the fate that belongs to traitors, il
they madly force upon us, a war for the
purposes of Abolitionism If the bloody
doctrines of Abolition are finally to prevail
as the fixed policy of this government, no
white man, who has not a negroe's soul in
bins, can hope to live in peace ar.d safety
even in the dearth. .If the murderous tem
pers of the men whom Mr. Lincoln has
everywhere placed in power are to rule us,
then we may as well at once begin to fight
for our altars and our homes. The men
who have broken up the country once, will
do it again, and keep doing it, until neither
life nor property will have any protection,
uulees we crush the serpent's head where
it is.
The Ilarrithnrg Patriot in "peakinz of the
late election for Congress, in the Lehigh
District, says: "The repeated le?soj) which
the Republicans have recently received of
the futility of attempting to defeat Demo
cratic candida'es by calling them ' Breckin
ridge Secessionists' ought to learn them
discretion if patriotic consideration' arc not
sufficient to deter them from rendering aid
and comfort to the enemy by representing
a majority of the voters of Pennsylvania as
secret friends ol the Southern rebel. But
they seera to learn neither wisdom nor pa
triotism from experience. This "Breckin
ride Secessionist" charge has helped ev
ery Democratic c andidate against whom it
has been used. . It was first tried to defeat
Biddle in Philadelphia; then against every
Democratic candidate at the October elec
tion; then against the Mayor of Lancaster;
and lastly against John D Stiles. But the
people seem to understand that it is the
last card of sinking, reckless and corrupt
politicians, for they have acquired the
wholesome habit of rebuking thoe who
play it, whenever the opportunity offers."

Mr. Editor: Feeling it my duty as onu
who would wish to give all the light possibl J
to my democratic brethren on the past np t
the present condition of our country. In
the first place, we, as an American people,
ouszht to consider, and act judiciously, and
settle those internal disputes by fair means ,
and not by powder and-ball; for violent
means and measures should never be used
but in desperate cases. I ask the question,
would it not be more fit for a certain clas
of political men lo work in a tight bouse fot r
years when they would uot go -away If
they could ralherthan to have the nation
put Into such a confusion, to hinder it tt
the expense of millions of money and prop
erty, and the loss of thousands of lives, ill
by Abolitionism ? Reader, there is a caui e
for all this. Let us look at some of the
causes, which brought about this present
trouble. I said in my last I would try, to
show that the negro was not what the Re
publicans and Abolitionists are after. Fir t,
then, four years ago, all over the Northern
States Abblitionists and Republicans seen

Hear what they say: "Better no constitution,
no Union with the South, than to live iti
Union with them." Garrison said the " U Ti
led States Constitution is a covenant w.th
Death and an agreement with Hell." 3e
also said, ' it was not the mere emancipa
tion of slaves they wanted, bet to baffle il
literate men that they might gain their
project."
Hear what Seward said at Albany: he
"hoped the time would come when the
Constitution would be changed and the
Union dissolved, even at this Presidential
election." Look at NatbarJel P. Bai ks,
what he paid as speaker of the House :' 41 1
am not for the perpetuation of this Unioc,
I am willing to let it slide." He also slid,
'this Union cannot and ought not to stand."
Hear Mr. Giddings, he said he "hailed it
as the down fall, and (he Democratic pirty
with it." Now listen to Benj. F Wade, he
said "there is really no Union now between
the North and the South, and ought not to
be." R. P. Spaulding said, "1 am for a dis
solution, I care not how quick it comes "
Horace Mann, hear him "better diunion,
better war, than to have such a raz as the
Constitution." Garrison, Sumner, Raiks,
Rockwell and Wilson said, "up with the flag
of Disunion " Please hear Garrison again,
when he said, "this Union is a lie, and our
first business is to seek its utter overthrow,
let the Union be aecur-ed." Now hear
Josiah Quincy who said "no Union, no con
stitution" James Watson Webb mad use
of this language, "we are bear to form a
solemn compact, by which the cause of
the democratic party and this Union must
be dissolved with sword in hand, so help
us GJ; yes, nothing more nor nothing less
than civil war " The Rev. H. Ward Btiech
er has said, "all we want is to cu: the
North from the South, for two great ns lions
or powers can't live together, let it bi set
tled now clear the place, let us have var,"
for said he, "Rifles before the Bible." He
also said, 'let there be divisions of the r ation
in'.o two parts, the Northern and Southern,
of which should be the downfall of the
Democratic party; their very name has
vanished from the face of the earth. :. He
farther states, that the Abolition party fore
saw that this must come to pass soon.

Thus, reader, you can see that it is rot the
Negro they are after; it is the destr action
of the Constitution and the Democrat c par
ty, in order that they may form a net gov
ernment. They use the Negro as a i ubsti
tute to work out their hellish designs. The
sympathy they seem to have for him is
false, for Wendell Phillips himself acl.nowl
edges he has been engaged for nineteen
years to overthrow the Union. Bu now,
what do we hear from them; why, Jnion,
Union, Union! just as though they were al
ways Union. They talk much of serritude,
but please, Reader, look at those whites
(emaes) employed in the Eastern Fictories
and you can 6ee that they work harder and
more hours in a day tljan do the tlavea of
the South. There are instances w here the
employees are locked up that none may go
out or any come in, and all work by the
ringing of the bell, to the minute, mder a
penalty, which is a more eovereig t act of
tyranny than the black Slaves of thj South
are brought to feel the denominated slaves
of the upper order. Such servitude Regene
rates health, and those who labor as above,
appear pale like the potato stalk that grew

raised in a state of such subordination have
very little opportunity for school, or any
ch-nce for improvement and infoimation,
but in point of cultivation mast become
like the wild ass colt. Girls raised in a fac
tory, from the age of ten years to eighteen,
what are they good for but to becoue nuns
in a factory, shut op for they kne w noth
ing about housewifery, are only fit for
Dolls at enormous expense, when the old
ladies are gone who knows bow to doctor,
nurse and dictate to others, what will the
poor ladies do who are brought up and
learned to live upon, "do nothing, ' except
to dress and tight iace ? Sir, in thi time of
the Revolutionary struggle there were virtue
and resolution among the peopli, as the
heart of one man. 'So Washington could
well 6ay "united we stand, divided we fall."
Deem any man an enemy who will dare to
mention a separation of the nation, and
division of the country.
1 find in ihe nullification business of the
North that the people did not go w ith their
leaders in the principle to divide ti e Union,
but when discouraged and anprorided for
by their rulers, they, of their owr volition,
flew to arms a exemplified bj the Ver
monlera to affairs of Plattsburg, aid that of
Stonington. So in the present ointest, by
dividing the States, the people have nothing
to give but moch to lose, and eve ything at
stake. ;" ; r
Well, look at the Abolition tontention
and jealousy, the many names nn ler which
this trouble u called, ana now airyosr-7
it? why, sir, war, armies, expences, plun- J
uer, murder and rapine, with all the hor
rors connected with war; and of all wars
civil or domestic are the worst, as exem
plified in the present condition of our coun
try, by such unholy demagogues ; a war of
extermination, for bitterness and revenue,
connected with bigotry of a hypocritical
kind ; excited animosity of the most danger
ous character, that which expels calm rea
son, and humane feelings, bordering upon
insanity, diabolical rage and madness.
Dear reader, look back to the dreadful
scenes of the Whig and Tory days in the
Revolution, there you can hear the descend
ants tell of the days and sufferings of their
fathers and mothers, too horrid for the his
torian of those days to fully record! 1 the
lories failed in their first plan, tbey would
devise the second, and so on, for the de
struction of the country. Those of their
progeny, the Abolitionitta and Republi
cans, seem to foster the same plans; if they
in their first attempt fail, they try the sec
ond, and so on, until they have ruined our
beloved country.
Each State reserving lo itself the power to
govern its own policy, which shows that
Congress cannot legislate on Slavery in
the South, or upon the Yankee Uw, religion
in the North. The Abolition ists have again
changed their name, calling themselves Tar
Burners, (at least it 'u said they have in the
town of B ,) but how it is, I am unable
to say.for they came wiih their datk lantern
in the dead hour of the night, and burned
Livcoln in effigy; and no one knows for
what cause this was done, unless it was
that they have become so mortally opposed
to Abolitionism, and an Old Abe has signed
one "nigger bill" I supposed that lo be the
cause. Tbey praised Buchanan very high
ly by paying adoration to him in the way of
singing some of the tunes of his acts, which
he was justifiable in not throwing a slander
upon himself or the Democratic party.
They bad a very pretty little speaker, who
tried to tell who were Abolitionists, poor
Boy; he had forgot, (he ought to know,)
whoever stood by Liocoln was a Abolitiou
its. This little fellow is a very smart boy,
at least he thinks he is, by being puffed np
by some of the ' friends," so called. It is
time people are governed by good sense,
and not by a blind zeal. Let every Demo

The lime is fast approaching for the as
sembling of the Democratic Sta'e Conven
tion which i lo meet at Harrisburg on the
fourth cf July next, to put in nomination
candidate lo be supported at the ensuing
fall election, by the Democrats, and others
who are opposed to the wild and ruinous
schemes of plunder and anarchy of the par
ty now in power. Never before, since the
organization of our government, has such
reckless extravagance been witnessed, nor
have the laws beeo so flagrantly violated.
"Military necessity'' bas been made a
standing excuse for these, while a vitiated
ana tyrannical piiit has been the motor.
There are but few men in the state, outside
the abolition multinomina! no party party,
who have not been subjected lo threats, in
sults contumely, and abuse, while many
have Buffered imprisonment and mob vio
lence, and there are few men who will not
regret, when they have to pay in the form
of taxes, the blundered millions, that they
ever assisted in raiding to power a party,
the antecedents of which are all bad, and
that has now brought poverty and ruin on
the the land. The Democratic Motto is
"The Constitution and the Union," "The
Constitution as il is, and the Union as it was."
Every iruo Democrat will exert all his pow
er to crush out the wicked and unholy re
bellion that is now raging, and in bringing
traitors North and South to that just punish
ment they deserve. But they despise and
condemn the opposition, who, by making
loud mouthed professions of loyalty, en
deavor to bide from an outraged public
their mischeviou and plundering practices
and their infidelity to the constitution. The
sober second thought of the people, speak
ing through, the ballot box, will band this
motely crew of plunderers from their high
seats, in the political synagogne and place
in their stead men of tried worth, patriotism
and honesty. For some ixty years has
the Uoited States been Democratic, and
governed on Democratic principles, and du
ring that period made advances in national
greatness and prosperity, of which the pre
vious history of nations afford no paralell,
but, as soon as those principles and land
marks are abanded to a set of men who ig
nore them, as is now the case, we find our
glorious old ship of state afloat among Ihe
breakers of anarchy and confusion, with
out rudder or com pas, already vigil, and
in imminent danger of sinking to the bot
tom. Prudent men in such a case fly io
ihe pomps, clear the breakers, and put the
good old ship about, into the well known
and safe coarse, marked out in that invalu
able chart,the constitution, when all is safe
ty and the way is clear. Let us then an
Democrats and lovers and supporters of oor
glorious union, fly to the rescue. Select

while for Surveyor General the name of our
esteemed friend, Col. Levi L Tate, of the

prominent before the people. Either or
any of the gentlemen named as candidates
for nomination would receive a hearty sup

I t-xpected to join my regiment at Winches

of man, and a soldier's life is no exception
to this rule.
I arrived at Williamsport. Md , in the
evening of the same day that I took rny do
parture trom your place. The journey thus
lar was a pleasant one. The next day I
walked to Winchester, a distance of thirty
four miles. I passed over' the cround on
which the battle of Falling Waters was
fought, on the ?d of July laft. The trees
snd buildings in the immediate vicinity
still bear the marks of this splendid liitle
affair. I spent an hour in walking over the
ground, in company with a gentleman by
the name of Mr. Wilson, who resides, and
did at that time, within 20 yards of the spot
wh ere ihe battle commenced. He pointed
out the spot where the first victorn of that
day fell. He was a member of the Third
Wisconsin Regiment. He also pointed out
the graves of those who were buried on the
field, and among them was thai ol Amos
Zuppinger, son of your townsman, Henry
Zuppinger. A board bearing his name
marks his last resting place, beneath the
shade of a large apple tree, and in the

1 arrived in Winchester at six o'clock, P
M., but could learn nothing of the 84th,
more ihan they had advanced up the valley.
Next morning 1 called upon the Provost
Marshall and procured a pass to Stra-burg,
a distance cf 18 miles. When I got as far
as Cedar Creek, 2 mils from Strasburg, I
came upon a camp containing about 500 of
General Banks' pct$, viz: Negroes, who were
contrabands of war, and were many ol them
dressed in the military attire of the volun
teers, and upon inquiry f found, to my ntter
astonishment, that they were drawing ra
tions just the same as the soldiers, at the
expense of the Government. This very nat
urally set my mind to work upon the sub
ject arid l came to the conclusion that it j
was a burning shame, yea a disgrace that
will hang like an incubuj to the present
administration, that they were feeding and
clothing thousands of Negroes and keeping
them in idleness, while the Families of the
Union Soldiers were in many case suffer
ing. What think you of that, ye tax-pa) ers1
Is it any wonder that the expenses ol the
Government exceeds two million dollars
per day ? Is is any wonder ihat there is a
mighty change in the minds of the soldiers,
that there is dissatisfaction in the army ?
But the evils that will arise from this cause
of proceedings are manifold; and 1 shail in
future letters try and handle this subject
and its authors the Abolitionists as best
I can, without caring for the snarling of
those petty bastard like Uuion ehders
At Strasburg 1 learned that Miields' Divis

they were stationed I knew not. but was
told to wait until next morning, and then I
could get transportation lo the Regiment.
There were nearly twenty thousand roldiers
here, and Gen. Banks wai strongly fortiy
inz himself upon a hill overlooking ihe
town. There is a great deal of sickness at
that place, from eight to ten die daily.
Ifc'ext morning at 8 o'clock 1 took the cars
on 'he Strar-burg and Manassas Railroad,
but did not know our destination as there
were over a hundred of us going to join the
different Regiments, all under the charge
of a commissioned officer. Many incidents
occurred during the journey that would be
interesting to your readers, had I ihe time
to relate tiiem We arrived at Manassas
which was so long the terror of the Lorth
at 3 o'clock P. M. The cars only stopped
fifteen minutes. I bad no time to make
many observations aod al! I can say is, that
the place was otronely fortified at ali points
for miles around. 1 saw here one ot the

when they evacuated the (dace It was a

Railroad for Alexandria, where we arrived
at 6 o'clock We had with ns a full car load
of "contrabands," that had been itulenfrom
their oicen, and the Government was assist

I firfct learned where the 84th was stationed.
It was at Fredericksburg, 75 miles from that
city. In company with Capt. Crissman, of

We passed Fort Washington in ihe trip.
This Fort is situated on the left bank of the

Its sides taring the river are pierced for 24
guns, and has at present 16 heavy Parrot
guns mounted on the parapet. The garrison
Band appeared on the walls and played
"Hail Columbia" and several national aira
as we were passing.
The rebels had thrown up strong intrench
meuls at Aquia Creek, which place they
evacuated some months ago. We here took
the cars again and arrived in camp jusl at
dark. I found the boys all well, and the
whole camp in a bustle, as they hail orders
to march next morning. Gen. McDowell's
Division was here too. The "Iron Guards"
are all well, but I did not get to see any of
them. They all visited our camp the day I
came in; and left the same time we did. but
I do not know where they went to. We
came to this place, where we arrived this
morning. The weather is fine, and the
boys ail anxious to meet the foe. This
place is ler. miles from Manassas, and is a
splendid place. Our address is Washing
ton, D. C. Rut I must cloe, hoping to write
soon again, I remain yours, as usual,
Toodlk.
We notice some of our Republican ex
chanses are using the name of one Mr.
Ross, of Luzerne, (who we believe was a
member of the last legislature.) for the of
fic of Surveyor General. The Democracy
are talking pretty strongly of nominating
Col. Lsvi L. Tate, for the same office on
the 4th of July next, at Harri-burg Mr.
Ross having heretofore acted with the Dem
ocratic party, if we mistake not, we are not
sare whether he will agree to be a candi
date on the People'?, Republican, Union
League, no-party party Ticket.'' We will
see.

FROM McCLELLW.
We have news to the effect that a heavy
battle was fought on Saturday last, between
the Divisions of Gen. McClellan's army,,
under Gen. Sumner, Heitzleman and Keys,
in the Valley of Chickahorniny, near Rich
mond. It resulted in a defeat of the rebels.
They were drove at the poini of the bayo
net, the loss on both sides being heavy.
The rebels tried to renew the at'ack on
Sunday morning but were nicely repulsed.
Many prisoners were taken by our army.
The rebels had, on Saturday, at the com
mencement of the battle, the best of it. Two
of our divisions behaved badly. Their
wagons and guns were taken by the rebels,
at the 6tart. At least so says telegraphic
report.
Corinth has been evacuated by the reb
els. Our troops now occupy the town. The
rebel army left it a week ago, and have
gone to some place in Mississippi. This is
the latest, in relation to Corinth and the two
armies.
