Dare tat. Traitors Endorse the following ?
We are' for the Union and the Constitution
: our fathers gave them to us the Union
js it was and ihe Constitution as it is. We
loathe and detest treason whether in an ab
olitionist or.secessionist-
Let DoctonJohn publish the above con
spicuously, with a single editorial com ment,
heartily endorsing lha sentiment, and needy
as we are, we will engage to pay one quar
ter's rent for the family of that poor soldier,
which was turned out of doors, up in Scott
township, by some Black Republicans, a
short time ago. No one but a traitor to his
country wilt refuse to endorse the sentiment
we have above expressed.
Men of Columbia county, we published
(he aboe in last week's Star, and the Re
publican is silent! Eot one inference can
be drawn. The mouth piece of the Repub
lican party in Columbia county dare not
cay broadly aud squarely, without equivo
cation or qualification, that it is m favor of
the Uuion and the Constitution as our fath
ers gaie them to us the Union as it was
and tha Constitution as it is. We maybe
mistaken; he may say so yet. God help
him lo the determination! Wa are earnest.
Ia this time -of terrible trial, let patriots
s peak oat boldly. None but traitors will
hold their peace. If the Republican party
are in favor of letting the old Uuion ''slide,"
let them say so. If the Contnitution which
was bought with the blood ef our fathers is
to be overthrown by the prusent party in
power, let it not be done in the dark, and
tinder the cloak of pretended patriotism.
Madara Roland exclaimed on the scaffold,
' O Liberty, what crimes have been com
mitted in tby name!" How prophetic of
the present, if the extremists of the North
and of the South shall be alloweM :o con
summate this greatest of crimes, the pulling
down of the temple of liberty.
The war should be curried on for the purpose
cf restoring the Union as it was. and the pres
ervation of th: Constitution as it is, and for r.
other purpose; and the man tcko toys it should
bt for ahy other purpose is a traitor J

'hit is cot at all surprising. Shields is

The citizens of Illinois recently adopted
i new Constitution for that State, one clause
ol which excludes the negroes from the
State. In the city of Chicago, it is said
that this instrument received almost aunan
imous endowment. Illinois, it is well
known, abounds with abolition agitators,
and her representatives in Congress are
continnally harping in behalf of the down
trodden Atrican, yet strange as it may ap
pear, the citizen of that Slate have adopt
ed a Constitution which not only deprives
the ne;;ro of many of the rights enjoyed by
white men, bat actually excludes him from
the State.

Tbe Republican farty.
The Republican party, or the real Repub
licans, are much worried as to what coarse
to pursue in the future. Theiracknowledged
leaders, with few exceptione,'"bave proved
themselves out and out Abolitionists They
have practiced, in nearly all their doings, a
large amount of the most foul deception
All for the sole purpose of furthering on
their Abolition -schemes. The great mass
of this party were and are nonest; but they
have been deluded; led off, blind lolded,
into the raeohes of the Abolition net, where
they now are found to be stcking. From
the flounders they- or many of them, with
whom you may converse .invariably make
when you enter intb a political controversy
with them, one would suppose their
greatest trouble to be, to fix upon some
most convenient mode of extricating them
selves from all apolitical connection with thai
damnable party, known as the Black Repub
lican alias Abolition prty A tremendous
ihange will take place at onrnext election,
one that will cause these Abolitionists and
political plunderers to shiver and this cor
rupt administration to tremble to its very
foundation - Mark the prediction. This
corrupt and wicked party needs and will be
politically damned.

We are gratified to learn that this gentle

He was all packed and ready to start back
to rejoin the old Illinois 4th Cavalry, when
he received a message Irom Col. Slifer, Sec
retary of State at Harrisburg, tendering him
the command of the 81th Pennsylvania in
fantry. After a conference with the Secre
tary of State and t-everal of officers of the
regiment, andat their unanimous request,
he accepted the command. This secures
Cel. Cowman's services to his native State
The 81th regiment was raised in Cleaifield,
Blair, Columbia, and other adjoining coun
ties. The men are of that hardy and daring
cla8 to be found only in that region of
country men who can weild the axe and
ply the spade, who are accustomed' to the
use of the rifle, and whose habits of life
from boyhood have prepared and qualified
them for the arduous duties, toils and priva
tions of the soldier. They have 6een some
hard service in Virginia ulready. We con
gratulate the regiment iu scouring a com
mander of superior military ability and ex
perience. Major Barrett has been promoted Lieut.

Rev. William Fans, Died at his residence
in Cranberry, Allen Co. O., June 2lt 1862,
aged 3 1 year, 4 months, aud 22 days -
Disease Typhoid Fever.
Bro. au-f wee l orn in Columbia county,
Penn. Was married to Mary L. Terwilli
ger, in July 1854. Removed to Seneca co.
O, In, 1855. Embraced religion in Feb.
1853. Join ed the U. B. in Flat Rock in Ju
Ij of the same year, and rsceived Quarterly
Conference iicen-e on the same day. At
the Sandusky Annual Conference in the fall
of 1858, he was appointed by the P. E. A.
Berry to Galion Circuit, which he traveled
dnring that Conference year, in connection
with S. F. Altwan.
In 1859 he was admitted to Cor.ference,
and appointed to Benton, Ct , where he la
bored to acceptance that year.
In i860 he was placed on Findlay Ct.,
with W. Mathers, and in Get: 1861 was sent
to Taway Circuit.
During the last winter he labored very
hard, going beyond his strength in his zeal
for the conversion of sinners. His work
was large, and too heavy a tax on his en
ergies. In April his health declined, and a
bronchia! difficulty set in, which prevent
ed his further public labors. Abont the
10;h of May, he made a visit to his Fath-
er in Flat Rock, returned home and took
to his bed from which he never raided. He
bore his sickness with Christian fortitude
and patience, and his last words were,
''Praise tbe Lord, it is all over at last" after
which he drew one more breath, and fell
into the arms of his Savior.
Bro. Faus was of a meek and quiet spirit.
beloved most by those who knew him best,
Retiring and modest in bis manners, he wa.
perhaps not fully appreciated by the people
generally.
Ashe was cut down in the prime of lifs,
and in the beginning of his usefulness, the
church sustains a loss which in these troub
lous times will be deeply felt. ' He leaves
a wife and two children, lonely and be
reaved ; but the Lord tempers the wind to
the shorn lamb, and we bow submissively,
trusting the Word that promises life to the
faiihinl.
The remains of Bro. Fans were brought to
Flat Rock for interment, where his body
rests, but his glorified spirit is no doubt
with the blesed Savior above.
A funeral discourse was delivered by the
writer on Sabbath, June 2?d, from II Tim

Friend Will : While the Black Repub
lican Abolition Congress is expending hun
dreds of thousands of dollars in the pur
chase of slaves, and while they are passing
laws , and spending lha time paid for with
the peoples money, for the benefit of their
much loved race, the negro, the troops of
the Union are much neglected, are com
pelled lo march in some instances without
shoe to their feet, and some of them with
not clothing sufficient to cover their naked
ness. These are facts which can be prov
en, and any one visiting our Brigade can
satisfy themselves that I do not pevaricate.
This is not onty a shame, but an outrage.
Here are men who have left good situations
loft all the comforts and enjoyments of
home, as they thought to rescue our insult
ed flag from the hands of the saeriligious
despoiler. They were promised by this
God forsaken party, clothing, healthy ra
tions, good -medical attendance, and so
much per month. Now, in not one single
instance of the above have they lived np to
their promises; as to clothing, let the sun
blis'ered backs, lags, and feet of the denu
ded soldiers answer as to rations let the
mouldy crackers and putrified meat answer,
as to medical attendance let the neglect
ed sick and wounded answer, and as to pay,
we have four months pay now due us, and
in many cases that 1 know of, the families
of the poldiers are suffering the pangs ol
hunger and want, while these Abolitionists
are feeding daily thousands of negroes.
This is the way that this biack hearted de
plorable Republican Abolition party is car
rying on the war, as tbey say for the
Union.
" It may be that once in a while an un
scrupulous Breckinridge man, like Jim
Prict, the beautiful correspondent of the
Star, may continue the same unprincipled
advocacy for slavery, as before, but the
mass of our soldiers are learning to hate
the institution as they would a deadly vi
per ,?
The above paragraph is taken from a
communication which appeared in that Ab
o'ifion sheet, the Republican, of May 29th,
over the nom tie plume of Nescopec. We
will try and digest the same for the bene
fit of yonr readers, and show to them that
the writer of the above know? no more
about the feelings of the soldiers in regard
to slavery, than be does about truth and
honesty.
It shows at once that the author altW
living in Bloom, where he might haye a
a chance of learning good sound sense, is
an unscrupulous Abolitionist, and as such
he stands charged with being not only an
aider and abetter in this rebellion, bat at
open and avowed enemy to the constitutor
and the laws. It is just such characters ai;
"Nescopec' Dr. John, and some more of
this negro-loving party that will have to an
swer lor the blood of our soldiers that ii
drenching every battle field. 1 do not wish
to bo understood lo say that I am in favor
of the extension of slavery, no, far from it.
But I wonld like to be shown that clause i l
the constitution that authorizes this con
glomerated party to'takc, and by forcr,
the property of our brethern in the Souia
against their will. They may say that they
ara not taking them b force but we ate
buying them ! Ah, yes, with the peopled
money, and soon will the tax-payers beg n
to feel and see that there has been mo e
mouey invested in slaves, than can be rail
ed nnlesss they suck the very life's blotd
of the laboring class, in other words, en
slave the white men of the North, in ordnr
te Iree the black of the South. I know not
what the feelings in regard to the fdavjs
may be in other divisions, t ut in this I am
satisfied that nine tenths of the soldiers are
so well satisfied with the negro, that th jy
are not willing to further sere a govern
ment or nnd-jrgo any more privations thin
they have in order to free them. To prove
this lei tbe government say to them, " ill
that now want to go home can go, and ill
lhat etill love the flag the constitution tbe
laws and the niggar, will stay and see thtm
freed;" and yon will see that there will be
very few remain. But let them drop the
niggar all-ogelber, let ihem show by th sir
actions that it is the constitution and ihe
laws, that they are fighting for, let this her
etical party abjure the doctrines of Lincoln,
Lovejoy, Beecber, Wade. Wilson, Sumner,
and Greeley, let them come out boldly for
the honor of the flag let this war be car
ried on for the perpetuation of the unin,
and not to free the negro, and yon will tee
that every man that is now in the field, will
be willing to lay down his life so thai it
bat cemented again the fabric of the Union,
and brought back our nation lo its former
greatness ami glory. Let tne secession
party be swept from the face of the earn
along with it the Abolition party for ney
both stand guilty of the cause of this trar,
and then, and r.o till then will the r gbt
hand of friendship be extended and ptace
and harmony reign once more.
Let " Nescopec" shoulder a rifle and
march through - the parts of Virginia
that we have !el him suffer what we 1 ave
to free the slaves, and then let him say
that he is still in favor of the Abolition of
slavery, ad he will be an anomaly. Le! Dr.
John rant and rave over the progresi of
the Democratic party is making, all hi Bil
lingsgate will avail him nothing nor beiefil
his party in the least, for death politically
stares them in face, and so mote it be.

A number of earnest and valued
fi tends have repeatedly remonstrated with
against noticing in any way the two rebel
lympaihising organs of this place. These
purnala, they urge, pursue a course bo fac
l ous, so unpatrioiio, and so vile that they
i hould be regarded with silent loathing
That this is true so far as the intelligent,
byal and patriotic of the community are
concerned, is the fact. But untortunately,
ibere are hundreds of imperfectly educated
people in this county, with whom a confi
dent assertion passes for troth if they do
lot see it contradicted. The better meaning
of this class wait a little to see what is said
on the other side, and it they see nothing
o the contrary, they accept the reiterated
' alsehood as an admitted truth. This is our
jnly reason for in anywise noticing the
Democrat or Stah, or exposing their perver
sions of lact, and their efforts to paralyze
.be energies ol the Government by robbing
it of the hearty and enthusiastic support of
the people. Columbia co. Republican, June 19.
The Doctor's "Old Democrat" seems to
have deserted him, or else to have turned
Republican, and therefore lo be no longer
available to help him out of ugly scrapes :
and he is now obliged to fall beck upon "a
number of earnest and valued lriends," for
support. Whether they will be able suc
cessfully to cover his retreat or not, remains
to be seen His ab !ition cohort may pos
sibly mrrouad him, and hide him from the
indignation of those "hundreds ot imper
fectly educated people in this county," up
on whom he Is desirous of shedding the
baleful light of his Black Republican ; and
if he shall do as his great portotype, Banks,
is said to have done in his retreat, forced
the sick and wounded soldiers to walk, and
piled the sound and . lazy -'contrabands'
upon the baggage wagons, he may possi
bly, with equal eclat, escape.
We shall not permit men whose history
and descent are of the character of those ol

'isra to us, nor to vaunt their own. We
shall not spare tho men nor Ihe party,
which in 1856 bore, in many of their pro
cessions, banners with SIXTEEN STARS
only We shall hold up lo the public con
tempt, the men and the party, which in
1856, published and po-ted maps all over
tha country, in which the entire South was
painted black Wo shall continue to de
nounce as sectional, that party, which at its
Chicago Convention, May 18th 1860, on
motion of Judge Jusssup, struck from its
call the word "national" preferin lo be
known as a SECTIONAL party. See New
York Tribune, May 18, I860, page 5.
We have no fears that those 'hundreds
oj imperfectly educated men in this country t"
will misunderstand us, or regard our denun
ciation of men and parties uch as we have
relered to as either "perversions or fact,"
or as "efforts to paralyze the energies of the
Government.".
This is not the first occasion upon which
the Dr. has charged the "people" of Co
lumbia county, aud more especially the
Democrats, with being IGNORANT ; but
we venture to assert lhat there are none of
them, who do not see the abolitionist stick
ing out through bis flimsy pretensions of
loyalty ; nor is there one of them who can
not demonstiate to him, lhat an abolitionist
and a secessionist are equally TRAITORS
to the Constitution and ihe Union- They
will defy him to point out, within this
broad land, a Democrat who is not for "the
Constitution as it is, and the Union as it
was" and with equal faith in the result,
challenge him lo produce an abolitionist,
who dares stand the same test of loyally
They know their duty to the Government
and the Constitution, and they will per

The Milwaukie New publishes the re
port of a committee appointed by ths Leg
islature of Wisconsin, to investigate the
conduct of certain Blask Republican offi
cers in that State, and says:
"There is no method of reasoning which
can dispose of the lamentable fact that
nearly 2,000.000 were lasi year paid out
by our State ofneers, for which no adequate
consideration was received.
"It is evident to all fair minded men,

officers, bat that deliberate corruption has
been rife about the Slate capitol. The men
whom the people placed there to guard the
Treasury, have wantonly plundered it, and !
left us their infamy and a mountain of taxa
tion as their only legacy."
Thus it goes. Wherever the enemies of
the Democratic party are in power, plunder
and official rohbery are the order of the
day. The Cameron, Fremont, and Wells
thieves, under President Lincoln, have
plundered the General Government in one
year, as proven by Congressional Commits
tees, of more lhan seventy millions of
dollars ; and in Pennsylvania, Ohio, New
York, Illinois, and other States in wbich
Abolition Republicanism is in power, mil
lions on millions have been corruptly and
fraudulently filched from the public. And
all the money;thus wrongfully- taken aye,
stolen under the General and State Ad

June 27, 1862
Major General John C. Fremont, having

inferior to those heretofore 'held by him, and
to remain in the subordinate command
now assigned would, as he says, largely

Daniel Webster.
A "writer in tho Nev York Express
(who gives Lis name and address to the
editors of that paper) says that, about the.
time Mr. Seward-a followers and the ab
olitionists joined hands, he heard Daniel
Webster express himself as follows :
"If these infernal fanatics and abolition
ists ever get power in their haDds, they
will override the Constitution, set the
Supreme Oourt at defiance, change and
make laws to suit themselves, lay violett
hands on those who differ with them in
their opinion, of dare question their
infallibility, and finally bankrupt the coun
try and deluge it with blood."
We leave the reader to judge of the
corectness or incorectness of this predic
tion. Webster had reason to know where
of he affirmed at least to know the temper
and character of the class of men of whom
he spoke, for he had suffered insult and
outrage at their hands, because he had
stood true and steady as for the Union.
Notwithstanding all the honor he had
conferred in Massachusetts, her fanaticial
people,' in return therefore, sent him in
sorrow and grief to his grave. Now, Mass
achusetts is represented in the Senate by
Sumner and Wilson, and John A. Andrew
is her Governor! What a commentary
upon the "march of intellect," and the
advance of "ideas" in that State I It
was bad enough for the "men of Massa
chusetts" to insult him while he was living,
but to have him succeeded in the Senate
by such men, after his death, is enough
to bring his outraged spirit back.in anger
to the earth again.

i lower part of Bucks county, in our own
State, the Abolitionists are doing the same
thing. We could name a dozen leading
Abolition families in that county, who
have discharged their white help," and
employed runaway slaves, because they
can get them much cheaper than rhite
laborers. We have already published
the fact that, in Franklin and West'Ches
ter counties, white people are thus being
crowded from their places by the freed
negroes from the District of Columbia, and
the runaway slaves now swarming into
Pennsylvania from the south, and we
doubt not there are many other counties
in this state in which these "contrabands"
arc crowding white men and woman out
of work. A little time will reveal to the
labouring white men of Pennsylvania and
other free States that this influx of black
laborers threatens to deprive them of their
bread and butter. If the extremists in
Congress succeed in carrying out their
programme, white men will be compelled
to emigrate to Illinois and such States as
prohibit negroes from coming within thcir
borders.
Tue Effect of Emancipation in tue
South. Mr. John S. Phelps, the Union
member of Congress from the Southwes
tern part cf Missouri, in a lato speech in
the House of Representatives, said :
"I said that the proclamation of Gener
al Fremont, proclaiming emancipation to
the slaves of rebels in the State of Missouri,
did cause men who, up to that moment had
been loyal, to flock to the standard of
Price. I know that the proclamation was
printel by the rebel press of the State,
and was circulated among tho people
wherever the rebel emissaries could reach,
and I know very well that when the Pres
ident's modification of that proclamation
made its appearance in St Louis it was an
impossibility to get it within the lines of
the rebel army, and it never went there "
And, yet, after such statements, we find
men, pretending to be for the Union,throw
up their hats for negro emancipation,
which is, apparently, the only thing that
can keep the Confederate cause alive.

My Dear Sir : Rickett's -Division, for
merly Ord's, has left From Royal, and
now are encamped here. The Infantry
and Artillery were transported over the
Manassas Gap Railroad, and the Cavalry
and Artillery horses came by the common
road. Gen. Shields' Division is now at
Fron. Royal where they will probably re
main until better equipped. After the
battle of Port Republic they -presented a
sorry spectacle. They were, in fact, rag
geder than ther Virginia troops, many of
them being shoeless and pantless. Their
number have also been teiribly thinned,
bo that some regiments do not muster over
200 effective men. ProDer mfiMnw. k.

jot of their confidence in the "shot-proof

The operations in the "Department of
the Rappahannock" have doubtless been
delayed by the late at-jcident to Gen Mc
Dowell. Ilis horse reared and fell back
wards on the General, the pommel of the
saddle injuring his somewhat portly stom

see him. He is now out of danger, and I
think I am safe in saying that fa a few
days we will bo enroute for Richmond via
Fredericksburg.
We are much disappointed at net being

Banks. lie is an especial favorite in our

ARTILLERIST.
Tho Impending Battle.
A correspondent of the New York Tri
bune writing from "Seven Piucs," oa tic
0th inst; says :
There is duelling at long range between
the enemy ,s picktts atd our own and
there are movements and preparations on
our side, and undoubtedly on thcir side,
for the great battle soon to be fought. And
I will candidly tell ruy friends that they
must make up their minds to hear the de
tails of a conflict before Richmond com
pared with the battle of the Seven. Fines
was but a skirmish. The enemy are great
ly superior to us in numbers. Their ear
nestness is of course greater than ours
for they fight to repel an invasion of thcir
homes and firesides. Their courage, as
daring, if not as tenacious as our own, is by
nature savage, and has been animated by
politics into implacable hate. They havd
our own discipline-an equal experience in
the camp and in the field' and possess in
their despised smooth bore muskets, and
their cartridges of one round bullet and
three buckshot, a far better weapon for this
wooden Cghting ground, than our boasted
Minnie rifles. No I saw these rebels fiht
under the Seven Pines, and I say to all
those people who think we are to march
iuto Richmond without fish' iu; every inch
of our way, that they nurse a delusion
from which the list of killed and wouded
certainly, and possibly, the list of killed,
wounded and captured, will wake thein,"
shockingly, if they have sons, brothers, or
nephews in the battle. 1 tell you, New
Yorkers, that this rebel army has no pur
pose of retreating before U3 as we march
into there political capital. They sit ia
their trenches, and lie under their can
nons to save the Southern Confederacy.
They desire to fight. By evacuation of
strongholds, and retreats from positions
as of advantage, held just long enough to
weaken us by delays, they have drawn U3
where they can flank us, and where they
will compel us to fight, whether we want to
or not., They consider that the ccmin
battle will decida their fate, and that of
their Confederation that it will conclude
the war. They know its importance, and
they are embraced to its duties- To whip
