In accordance with a resolution of the Democratic State Executive Committee, thc Dtmocbacy or Pennsylvania wii meet in STATE CONVENTION, at HARRISBURG, oa FsroAT, the 4th day of Jolt, IS62, at 10 o'clock, a. m., to nominate candidates for Auditor General and ScaviToa Gsniral, and to adopt such measures as mar be deemed necessary for the welfare ot the Democratic party and the coontry. -WILLIAM H. WELSH, Chairman Democratic State Ex. Com. Eaie Tea Ecney to Spare? II you hare, go m lor baying tbe slaves cf traitor?, as Lincoln and kit party does. The present Administration has compelled us to boy the slaves in the District ol Col umbia, and proposes to assist in baying the slaves of all the Stales that are willing to bargain. But to be serious, we do not think it. right to ask everybody to invest .raonej in the cfrkan.' Johx W. Fohna-t, who attempted to hang on to the coat-tail of Docclas, bot who was not allowed to even touch the hem of the Little Grant's garment, in his Prest of April ISih, 1S61, says; ; Fanaticism was foment ed against the institution of slavery ; north ern agitators afforded the weapons to south era traitors to dismember the country of their birth." Now, this same renegade, Forney, swallows the slinking pill o aboli tionism, and blows. Lis filthy breath in oor laces. Forward ! abolitionism and treason. Death cr a Youta Soumer.Tdb body of Wellington Age son of Wilson Ager, ar rived at this pLce on Saturday aftarnoon last, and was conveyed to Robrsburg, the place ol his nativity, and bnried by the honors of war, on the following Sabbath, the Military of this place participating in the funeral exercises. Tbe corpse was ac companied to ftohrsborg by quite a large and respectable delegation, considering the distance, some JO miles The deceased was a member of Company "A52d Raiment. Col. Dodgp; or, better known as the Luzerne liegtment ; and was wounded in the battle at Chickahominy, on Saturday tbe 31st nit., and lived till the following Monday, when he died while on his way to Philade'phia to go into the Hospital. His wound wa the effect of a rebel, ball, having first strock one of bis arms and, parsed on into his body, proving fatal in the time above stated He was about 20 years of age, and a fine respectable young man. He., with many others, fell in a good canee, fiahlinj for tbe maintenance of the Laws, the Censlitution, find the restoration of the Ufion to ift former harmonious and peaceful condition This is already the tenth or twelfth Colombia -oun- ty soldier who has fell a victim to this corse d and unrighteoos rebellion, the work of a most font and wicked heart. He was patriotic and brave, and in every sense ol the term, "died the death of a soldier".- "Peace to his ashes." Dr. John in his last abolition circular bap a squib reflecting upon the loyalty of tbe editor ot this paper; but "that we are re sponsible be does not believe' In the same breath he charges os of being "conlroled" by a certain "clique notorious for their se cession proclivities," bat has not the man ly con-age to call os a "Secessionist" or name the "cliqtse," only ineakingly insin uates that we are "eontroled" by a lot of secessionists, and "that we are not respon sible V Thus like a mean tneal or thief, be attempts to do na an injary by prejudicing the people against ns;aad in such a manner aa to eTade the law. This is entirely char acteristic of the man ! He lacks tbe courage or the ability to attack a single article in oor paper, bat has the impudence and milig .ntfy to attempt to abuse os personally in his negro -loving sheet. Oor editorials, selec tions, and communications, are right, loytj, bnt he Jare not, had he the honesty about bin to do so, acknowledge them as such. ills wicked abolition conscience wonld not al low bid to make any ancb confession. If he did, he would cease to walk in the wake of C-reeley, Sumner, Lovejoy k Co., all no foriois Abolitionists, and according to hon est J je Holt's opinion ' an Abolitionist is a Secessionist. In the same fquib we are told thnl the Government will not take notice of oar paper. This is good news!- Bnt the edito' might have added that the Govern ment had already taken notice of too many rsewspapers, thereby violating and setting aside one of the most tacred clauses of the . Constitution which the President was sworn to support and maintain. . The day for gag iog and muzzling presses is gone by the Government and ring leaders oi mobs have bad scTicient damages to meet during one administration. We have a perfect right to talk and publish our paper, a right guaran teed to cs by a much more respectable and honorable source than from those who are at the head of our' Government to-day, treading under foot many of the provisions cf the Constitution and sinking ns deeper into the vortex of anarchy and rain. We will continue to give Lincoln and party perfect thunder for every act that we do not ap prove of, at tba same time not forgetting to T3ri to them the proper credit whenever scch credit is dae, notwithstanding the' an I snrrpingt of Palemoff John, who ?say to become tbe great leader and chief rf tl.9 Abolition faction of this District. So go ahead with yonr '"smut midline," tha f ?r cf l!u3 paper 'responsible' for every Y.r.9 thr.: appears in hi paper, and it yoa tiu t3 tecrr?? popular by having cs no tica jus, yon f3vs chesen tha proper and am v Tlie Traitor Efpablieacs ; " H The Republicans are brazen throated and trnmpet tongned about thefts committed by the men who are now rebels, nuder James Bcchanak's Administration. But they for get to tell the people that by far the largest piece of stealing was perpetrated long after Lincoln came into power, Jo wit: the steal ing of the Norfolk Navy Yard, with th ee thousand cannon, Feveral Ships of War, in cluding the Menxmnc, which has since oc casioned ns so much Ios of life and prop erty, besides vast amounts of Government stores. The cannon and other munitions of war taker, at that yard, through the neg ligence of tbe present administration, have since made Virginia a complete fort; and that fnrt we have rot conquered yet. We would not expose these things in these times of trial at-d trouble to our country, were it not that the black- and black-hearted Republicans are constantly accusing the Democracy of being' disloyal. H' are fir our country. Go yon black-hearted traitor, for what you will, and where you will. Wccark vary little about the at'acla made on us by the Abolition sheet of thi town, they ate not worth minding. The editor of that sheet is doing all in hi pow er (weak it may be) to keep np the Repub lican party, and to do so re sort 6 to abusing Democrats, the real and true constitutional and union-loving people of the North, who are doing more to put down this wicked rebellion than all other parties put together. This Repoblican Abolition crew know full well that the Democratic party are alive, that oar organisation is mantained in tact, and theresultof which must be a total anni hilation of them, body and . breeches " That's what the matter is" that's why yen hear the cry of "tory," "secession. '' and ' disunion," applied to Democrats so brazenly by them. It reqaires no "special mission to keep up the Democratic organi zation in this coanty,'-' while we have an abolition sheet amongst ns advocati ng con fiscation, emancipation, etc., or in other words e general buying of the slaves of the traitors ! The Democratic party have no money to buy negroes with, much lens do they want them set free, thereby injuring their condi tion. To-day the government are feei'inst and clothing a lot of negroes in idlene at an enormous expense ! and who pays the cost 1 Tbe tax-payer ! We are not in lavor of this kind of procedure by the adminis tration. It is nothing less than a swindle. The Democratic party have no more com plaint to make about paying taxes than you Republicans towards crushing out thU rebellion, but they do protest against being taxed to purchase negroes nnder the pre tence of its being a war measure. That's the position of the Democratic pnrty. Evert true patriot, ever? lover of hi country, will rejoice to see the Democratic party once more in the ascendant, not only in PenLelyvania. but in all the Northern States. It is evident to all men of the leat discrimination, that the Abolition plunder ers now at the head of affairs in the nation al capiiot, are not the men for the criti. They cannot control the storm they prayed for. Violators of the fundamental principles of nur Government ibemeelres, law break ers aod Constiiu, ion-breakers, tney never can solve or settle the fearful troubles that now environ our heretofore prosperous and happy land. No ! as well might we ex pect tbe leopard to change his spot or the Ethiopian his skin, as to look for a crazy, persecuting, theiving, Abolition faction to quell the hurricane that they and t'eir twin traitors of the South were so anxious to see. The people if any portion of them ever had confidence in tbe administration, have lo?t that confidence forever The stupendous frauds that have bee a exposed thepoliii cal persecutions that have been resorted to the open violations of the most sacred provisions of the Constitution tbe appoin t- ment to high and lucrative positions of no torious disanionists tbe supporting of some twenty or thirty thousand sfaes at public expense the employment of negroes in preference to white men these, and other similar arts should, and trill, caue the peo ple to rise in their might, to rebuke the men who have put them at defiance and trampled upon their rights. Tbe President of the United States, Abra ham Lincoln, now stands before the country with a vote of censure of the House resting and pressing upon him. When the resolu tion as adopted, those wbo voted for it a majority of whom were Republicans thought tbey were condemning and pub licly censoring Simon Cameron, late Secre tary of war, because of the gigantic robber ies and careless transactions perpetiated in this department. Bat most wonderful to say the President now comes oat, and in a special message to Congress. (It will be found on oor first pafce, assumes and shoulders all Cameron's and CcMMisos'acts and desires to be held responsible for them ! He therefore places himself iu Cameron's shoes, and stands before tbe people, we re peat, a censured and impeached man by a Repoblican House of Representatives ! Tbe vote of censure on Cameron was in these words: "Resolved, Tht Simon Cameron, late Sec retary of War, by investing Alexander Cummings with the control ot large sums of the public money and authority to par- chase military supplies without requiring from him any guarantee lor the faithful per formance ot nta dolies, when tbe services of competent public officers were available, and by involving the Government in a vat number of contracts with persons not legit imately engaged in tbe business pertaining to the subject matter of such contracts, es pecially in tbe purchase ot arms (or future delivery, has adopted a policy highly inju rious to the poolic service, and deserves the censors of the House. " Soit appears the Houa made a slight mistake in adopting the above withering resol - Instead of Cameron's name, Lin corjj's shocld have appeared. It ia strange. however, that Gen. Cameron in hi speech tefore hi s friends at Harrirbarg, recently, assumed all the responsibility of the very acts to which the vote of censure refers; and in the face of facts, and the report cf the Dawkb Committee, vainly attempted to justify thoa acts. Bat, "eld Abe" says they were his'acts, and whether he speaks the truth or not, he will heuceforih bear the odium of the vote of censure. ; . ! We conclude these remarks then, bj again appealing to oor Democratic friends not only in this coanty but -throughout thu State, to be op and doing. Let as bavo sturdy men for State, District and Countj candidates, and we will sweep Abolitiot fanatics, Southern rebels, and .public rlon-, derers from the places they now occapt as with a besom of destruction. Carlisls Volunteer. Terrible Freshet loss of Life. The late rains produced one of the moit tremendous and destructive freshets, to th i Lehigh Valley and other sections in th lower counties, that have occurred sincj 1850 In Tamaqua tbe freshet was not great as that of 1850, but in other sectioni , throughout the Lehigh Valley, it was great er. ' On Wedueaday night, the people residing on Pine s'reet, Tamaqua, fearful of a recur rence of the scenes of 1850, left their homei and sought shelter and safety in some mots elevated parts of the tovn, but fortonatelp about twelve o'clock the rain ceased, an 1 the swollen and angry torrent of the Littls Schuylkill began to subside. Within the limits of that borough, the loi has been comparatively trifiing,and beyond the destruction of bridges, and the inunda tion of cellars, the damage is slight. The railroad bridge at the upper end if Railroad street leading from the ' Hih Mines" to the Little Schuylkill railroad a -though not swept away, is so much sunken and strained as to be useless. The bridge across the Little Sebnylkill near the Gas works, was entirely swept away;i,s was also the new stone bridge cn Cent e street, but recently erected, at a cot of sonr e $2000; and the bridge below, leaning fro n "Greenwood Alines" to the little Schuylk II Railroad. Tbe damages to private property, high ways, railroads and canals, in every dire ;- tiou around u, have been t-o extensive, tha we scarcely know where to commence d '.ailine them. The saw-mill of Mr. George Cole, at the J tonnel, two miles above Tamaqua has ben in ti' ii uiuui'eu anu we oeiieve rie aito ios?s some cars and lumber. Tbe river at it fi L. 1 1 M L I ' t , . point made a clear breach throuch the rail road embankment, for a distance of aboui a hundred feet aod forming a new channel Mr Henry Huhn, has also suffered mu:h damage at his powder mill, about a tnle above Tamaqua. Tbe dry-house, and otter outbuildings were swept a&y. The Stove Foundry of Mr. Francis Brig it, immediately above Tamaqua was also da n aed The dam was swept away, and tbe building undermined and the machinery e stroyed. On tbe Little Schuylkill railroad, we l e lieve every bridge has been carried aw;iy, except the one at Centreville. It will be some time before there will be a train cer the road. Tbe Schuylkill Valley railroad was also considerably damaged, bat travel was re sumed on Friday. Considerable damage was done to 'he Reading railroad, but owing to the eflichnt and complete arrangements provided by that Company, azainstsucb emergenciet, a passenger train came through from Phila delphia to Puttsville, on Thursday night The dams, locks and embankments of the Schuylkill Canal have also been much in jured. By far the greater destruction howtner, has taken place in the Lehigh Valley, and the loss of life ha been deplorable. Almost the whole town of White Haren has been swept away. The splendid iron bridge on the Beaver Meadow railroad, ab re Mauch Chunk, haa been destroyed. The Lehigh Valley railroad and tbe Lefaigh Canal have almost been wiped oat, ani it will be a labor of months to rebuild then,. The town of Mauch Chunk was complete ly submerged, and the loss of life and piop- erty has been terrible. Those of our read ers who have ever been there, can form some idea of tbe height of the Mood, w ten it is known that canal boats stove in the second story windows of the Man ion House hotel, at least thirty-five feet above low va ter. Some lives were lost here how m tny we are enable to say, bnt have beard the number stated at thirtyr- We hope how ver this may prove to have been exaggera ed. AH the bridges, coal wharves and cinal boais, together with many houses ero swept away. The town of Weissport, four miles below Mauch Chunk, was completely flooded Here also a great deal of property was de stroyed, and a number of persons drowned; among them we are pained to state, Mr. Peter Bowman, formerly an old citizer of Tamaqna, and two of bis children. Takei altogether, the great flood of June lib and 5th, 1862, will long be remembered as one of tbe most terrible and devasta ing in its effects, that have ever swept this re gion of country, and wehope we may nnver be called upon to record its like again. THE WAR NEWS. Since oor last issue the army have teen doina considerable work. McClellan is still pressing on to Richmmd. He has had several hard battles, suffering heavy losses. We have received gloriona news from Gen. Halleck's Western Department. (Sen. Pope i in hot pursuit of Gen. Beauregard. Pope is thirty miles or more beyond Cor inth, and has reported !je captare of 10,000 rebel prisoners, and 15,000 stand of arn. Later We received new that 50,000 had been captured and picked op from the ne nay's- forces. Memphis, in Tennessee, haa fallen into onr hands The rebels completely roited. A Union feeling is there prevailing. It is also reported that Fort' Pillow has been ta ken by the Union forces. J, Froct Royal has been re taken.the eo my driven out with loss. The Shenaniloah Valley is once more in our possession. Fremont's army and a portion of McCow ell's formed a junction, and made theiebel Jackson give the field in every engagn ent From the above Items ol new yoa can tea that tha army have been quite active. .

Oswego, May 16, 1862. Mr Dcab Sir : I have received your let ter inviting me to meet yourself and other gentlemen constituting a committee ap pointed by certain members of the Leis. latere designated as "Repoblican and Union members," with authority, after consulta tion with committees of other organizations, to fix the time and place for holding a State Convention for tbe nomination of State of ficers. I will give you tbe reason why I think it proper to decline this invitation. The members of the Legislature by whom the committee was appointed with which you invite roe to consult, adopted an ad dress and resolutions declaring certain prin ciples and inviting to a convention which tbey recommend, all Republicans, Union Democrats, and other loyal citizens suppor ters of the policy of the Administration and responding to the principles and policy" set forth in such address and resolutions. I cannot call myself "a supporter of the policy of the administration" and 1 do not "respond to the principles and policy set forth in the address and resolutions" and, therefore, though a loyal citizan, 1 am not embraced within this invitation. I am ready indeed, to support the Ad ministration in the prosecution of the war for the preservation of our Constitutional Union, and 1 know that lo this policy tbe President is pledgedby numerous acts and declarations, tbe sincerity of which I do notqnestion. But whether he will adhere lo these pledges in spite of that powerful influence in his own party which is seeking to convert tbe war into an abolition war, is ye, to be proved. He has already recom mended an important measure which in my judgement is impolitic and unwarranted by the Constitution. With respect to the vital questions that remain I regard the " policy of the Administration," as somewhat unfix ed and uncertain, and until I ee more clear ly what it is, 1 am unable to call myself its supporter. But laying aside this objecion which does not eera to embarrass Republican who are the open opponents of the policy o which the President is pledged, let us consider the proposed union upn its merits. Is it expedient, and will it promote the public welfare, to unite with the Republi can party upon the principles of the legis lative address and resolutions, for the pur pose of defeating the Democratic party of this S ate at the approaching election? Thai is the question. A year ago when the connlry was In im minent danger the Republicans of New York and ol other Stales invited Democrats and all other loyal men to lay aside parti zan controversy and unite with them in the support of the war for the preservation of the Constitution and Union. No other mo tive or purpose for the war was then heard from the leaders oi the Repnblican party or indeed in any quarter having the slightest influence upon public opinion. The messages and speeches of tbe Presi dent, the proclamation of his Generals pledging the public faith to tbe people of the invaded Slates, and of which his mere silence was an aproval and confirmation, the resolutions of Congress passed almost unanimously, only two Republicans voting against them in the House of Representa tives; the langoase of the press and of pop ular meetings all united in declaring that tbe war was to be prosecuted not to subju gate tbe Sooth, nor to change Southern in stitototions, nor to deprive Southern men of their property or rights, but simply to es tabiih the authority of the Constitution over all the States. Such were the appeal and assurances under which the war commen ced. But when we bad half a million of men in arms ; when oar armies were filled with Democrats and others who volunteer ed to fight for this cause and not for aboli tion, when Maryland, Kentucky, and Mis-' souri, relying upon oor promises, had sent j loyal men to Congress, opened their territo ries to our troops and placed themselves in our power then first we heard, that sla very being tbe canse of the war, slavery must be destroyed. It is notorious, that at this day a large portion (to say the lea-t) of ' the Republican party repudiate the?e ' pledges and tramp'e even on their Chicago platform. Tbey are the open advacates of , the abolition of in the States, and of mea-! snres of confiscation so sweeping and re- I lentless that their like has not been known since the days of William tbe Conqueror They have theories, several theories.. Some of them maintain that the seceded Stages are out of the Union, and therefore have no rights. They adopt the doctrine of se cessio i, attaching to it a consequence that enhances its absurdity. The Slates they say, are gone as Stales, but remain as Ter ritories, subject to absolute power. This i tbe theory of Mr. Sumner. It is the theory adopted by a great meeting in tha city ol New York, over which a son of Alexander Hamil'on presided. Others derive the power :o abolish slavery from a different source. It may be done, they say, by tbe war power. Wbo can bound the war pow er? And to what a miserable state must that country be reduced, where it shall be thought a justification ol every violation of constitutional law to say that it may be done by the war power! , I know that all these gentlemen claim to be (prominently even) the friends of the Union. They would sooner abolish slavery than that the Union should perish. They would exeit a military despotism in the Sooth for the sake of the Union. They are o passionate in their love that they would sacrifice law, liberty, the Constitution itself to save the Union. Well, tbe Union to which they are ao devoted, is one for which I confess I have no respect or attachment. I know no Union bnt oor constitutional Union of free and equal States. It is an aboseof words to call anything else the Union. Upon the new platform, Phillips, who declares that for twenty years he has been the enemy of the Union, and Garrison who formerly stigmatized it as a compact with Hell are both Union men. It is the opinion of these gentlemen that the law of God and the Constitution of the United States are at variance with each ethar, and therefore they have become converted since it has been discovered that one may be an enemy of the Constitution, and yet a friend I of the Union. So, Mrerrit Smith, who sat in a seat of honor at the New York meet ing informs ns in his circular though he hates the Constitution he loves the Union. The legislative address invites to the pro posed Union convention "all Republicans, Union Democrats and other loyal ci izens " This implies that . all Republicans are loy al ; that disloyalty may be found among Democrats and other citizens but nowhere else. Such is not my ojiinion. We arc in arms against the disloyal men of the South, and none here oppose the war. I believe that individuals may be found in the North who sympathise with the rebels and wisb them success. But it would be absurd to or ganize a political party against persons so few and insignificant, and who dare only speak in whispers. The disloyal men of the North, from whom danger is to be ap prehended, are they who seek to convert the war into a war for the emancipation of the black race by means of the overthrow of the Constitution. Where are 4he.se men to be found ? Sumner is one of them ; Wade another; Thaddeus Stevens a third. If there ar Democrats or other citizens among them 1 think they will bt found to fraternie with the Republicans, or rather to be in a trans formation state Is it not plain that if we need a Union party at the North, it is in or der to defeat the schemes of these men ? But how can that be if they are invited to take part in the movement? There is no resemblance between this move ment and that which resulted in the nomination of the Union ticket in this state last (all. There was then a show ot oppo sition to the war at the North, but no dif ference as lo its purpose. We all then were or proposed to be Constitutional Union men. Now all opposition to the war has disappered, but a controversy has asisen as to the object for which it shall be pros ecuted, whether to establish the Constitution or to overthrow it, and to reduce the Sooth to the condition of a conqnered province Upon ihis question the only political qne. tion that really divides the people of the North, a true Union party cannot be neutral or silent. For twelve ) ears back I have thought that there was a necessity tor a constitutional Union party. I wished that such a party miht be formed in 1856. I hoped for i again in I860. I think that loyal Democrats, loyal Republicans anJ ail other loyal me-i ought to unite and lorm such a party now. The basts of such an organization (which might be temporary leaving present parties to resume their former relations when the Union shall be resiored) may be found in tbe resolutions adopted by the committee of conservative members of congress of which Crittenden was Chairman.

But whether this shall be accomplished or not, I certainly can en- ler into no combination with Republicans to overthrow the Democrats of this St ate. Whatever fault tbey may have committed in the past, the Democrats of the North are in the main loyal and patriotic, tbey are the chief bulwark against the assaults of the Northern disunionist : upon them rests, in a great degree, the hope of the Union. Tbey have not only magnanimously forebome Irom factious opposition to the Government but have even made no slight sacrifices of partizan feeling in its support. They have sustained the President when many of his professed parlizana have assailed him, and if, a I continne lo hope and believe, he shall prove true to himself and his country, he may, perhaps fid among them some of bis best friends and firmest supporters. I have written somwbat at lengtb.becanse having no opportunity ol personal consulta tion, ii is only in this way that I can pre sent toyou,and through you to other friends in the city, the reasons of rfiy course. My opinions and my feelings upon this subject are both strong 1 am, and have been trom tbe begitning, in favor of putting down Lie rebellion by force of arms. But I am for mercy, for humanity, for constitutional law and liberty, and i abhor the fanatical spirit that lo liberate the degraded Africans would pet the whites in chains, and con demn to misery and despair eight millions ol people of oor own ace and blood. I know indeed that this atrocious scheme can never be accomplished, I know that the North would not support a war for this pur pose, I know that tbe South would resist it, so long as the white race should survive, I know that all Christendom would rise and forbid it. The end, reached at last, would be the dissolution of the Union, but after the most frightful expenditure of money and sacrifice of life. I am confident, ray dear sir, that after some experiments perhaps, yon will at last reach the conclusion at which I have arrived. For myself, I see ro ose in meet ing with gentlemen with whom I am sure beforehand to disagree. The whole basis of Ihe proposed organiza'ion is wrong. !t wants the vital principles of a Union party, fidelity lo the Constitution. It imposes a test that Southern Union men will nof1 ad mm It embraces men who ought to be ex- eluded, and excludes those whose co opera tion is essential. It is bet the Republican party without the Republican name and I fear its tendency may be to strengthen the radical branch of that party, and to weaken , that party which is best disposed to sup port the President in a conservative and constitutional policy. If I am not mistaken, the Executive Cotj miltee of the "Constitutional Union "party" of 1860 still eurvives and yon and myself are both members of it. Indeed, I suppose it ia in that capaciiyyour letter was address ed to me. , Ee so good as to commnuicate my an swer to the other gentlemen of the commit- . tee, a I suppose the question to which it relates may come before them; and believe me sinceiely, your friend and servant, WILLIAM DUER.
