' ' ' FOR PRESIDENT IN 1864,
GEORGE B. M'CLELLAN,
Subject lo the Decision of the Democratic
, National Convention.
' Firs Hnndred Taonsand Bare!
It has been with a natural disinclination
to tell disagreeable traths, that we have oc
casionally ventured to suggest that the stor
ies about the "caving in" of the Rebellion
were air fudge ; but we regret to say that
we publish to-day a very disagreeable con
firm alio.i of the correctness of our intima
lions. -Trie President proclaims thai a draft
will be made, on the 10th of next month,
for five hundred thousand more men. The
announcement is a startling one. and would
not have been issued unless it were neces
say. Tht Administration must know that
the South is still strong and formidable
perhaps it may have intelligence of serious
disasterwhite it seems aUo to be antici
pated that' the war will last three' years
longer. Such are the results of Abolition
policy. How mocb longer the nation can
stand these drafts upon its life God only
knows; but "there needs no ghost come
from the grave to tell u&k that bankruptcy
and iniri fare before us, unless other and
wiser men are chosen to rule over as.
A "War; Paper SpeafcsOu. !
The Message of President Lincoln has
opened the eyes of some of those known as
"War' Democrats," and they are refusing to
to budge any further in the Lincoln destruc
tion train. The New York Leader has al
ways supported the war strongly, though
adhering to the Democratic party. It is an
influential paper, and since the President's
Message appeared, it speaks as follows of
the Abolition oath, ' woven into what is
spuriously termed the "amneMv" proclama-
linn nnt nn nt lh lail nf ?hn Iaaaaa
'"' "It is a crime, because it openly confesses
(hat this mar h an Abolition wir. and that it
is conducted, not to resiore the Union, but to
destroy slavery We have all along sus
apected and charged that this was the true
'state of the ca?e The Abolitionists have
all aloe u, denied it. TLe President has
himself denied it in official documents and
speeches. To admit' it now, after these
denialand in this most authoritative form,
is to strike the Union causa a cruel blow.
then the teari unjustifiable, and Jeff" Davis
'has the best possible justification for his reletlion
We hold these facts to be self-evident and
incontrovertible, and we repeat that three
fifths of the Northern people leaving the
Southern people out of the question would
refuse h accept any such oath as that written
out by Mr. L'ikoiu."
The.XeWiDi'aft Order.
.It will be'recollected that in October last
for ihrea hnndred thousand men was
made.! This number has been about half
fiUeJ by volunteering and re enlistments.
The call iow made for five hundred , thou
sand men is interpreted by 'gentlemen ac
quainted wi:h military affairs to include the
above three hundred thousand, feeing in ei -feet
an addifional .call for two hundred
tLou&and. " The volunteering a supposed to
be at present and average of two thousand
men per day. The order of tfce President
makes . a credit or deduclioa of so many as
may have been enlisted or drafted prior to
the 1st of March, at which time the four
hundred dollar premium expires. These
arrangements completed, the number of
men ia the army will ba about half a mil
lion. . ' ' '
The Piesideat says "war should not be
looked upon as an alarming -evil by any
means.". The old joker does not yet real
12a that any 'body is hart." It maybe
true that war is not an evil to Abolition cut
throats and thieves, any more than plunder
may be considered an evil to the free hoot
er. But the wise king Louis the Eleventh,
ct France, had a different opinion of war.
He said: "War is the greatest conceivable
scourge of a nation It brings wi.h itself
dangers and evils, the destruction of the
country,-of its inhabitants, and of its wealth
which no time can repair" That is the
opinion of an enlightened, humane man,
and Chrlstain. The other the opinion of an
ignorant, unfeeling, intolerant infidel, who
looks opon negroes as his brethren, and
upon white men with the eye of distrust
and hate ! , . 1 . .
Ths ViRGrsu Senators. It should be
gratilyitig to the people of Pennsylvania
end .New Yurk, that the State of Virginia is
so far "in the Union" as to furnish fonr
members to the Senate. There are proba
bly ona thousand "loyal" voters in the en
lira S:a'.3,&iiJ the elections are chiefly held
ia camps ; bat the seven millions of the
two chief States in the Union have no more
power i d tht? Senate, than the officers who
happen to ba if 'comma-id in Virginia on
elcctioa day. ' ' ' '
Tut Atc!itio:v advocate says, "all the
Df. r.iocr.t'.ic editors ooght to be Irishmen."
We v,i.re not aware ol it; but we do know
that al Abolition eJi'ois CGght to ba aig-
tht the go-called Cnioa Mea .
To hear Abolitionists boast of their Union,
ism is hke a nymph of the pave prating of
virtue, a thing so long lost as to be neatly(
forgotten. - For years the Abolition leader
sought po'wer to disrupt theiUnion, and now
in the hour of their supposed triumph the
claim to be Union men. They are for a
Union that will lop off all the States where
their doctriaes are vieweJ with that horror
which the fears of a servile insurrection ex
cites no; the Union as it was, 'bat an Abo
lition Union, governed, as Mr. Burlingame
said, 'by an anti-slavery constitution, an
anti-slavery bible, and an anti-slavery God."
A Union, like that bequeathed us by our
fathers, composed of slave and free States,
they oppose, and to show their abhorrence
ol the people of the South managing their
own affairs in their own way, they have
wrecked the old Union, and now seek to
reduce the slave States to mere provinces
dependent on the General Government,
while New England and other Abolition
States remain lords of the asceudai.e, giv
ing laws and Governors to ; the Slates thus
under the ban of Federalism.
Talk to one of these men about the Un
ion, and . never did man boast of more
love. Ask them if the would be willing
to see the war stopped and the old Union
restored with slavery as before the war
commenced, and they will stutter and stam
mer and do their best to evade the question.
Press them for an answer, and it will come
ia a negative. Indeed The New York T'i
bur.e, more honest than its fellows, ha
made open boast that it was not in favor of
a reconstruction of the old Union with sla
very in it for the negro it would sink the
Union and break np the Republic. The
leaders are not for the Union as our fathers
framed it, but are ,4vjnconditional" Union
men, if they can have everything as they
wish, but not otherwise. .
And yet these Abolition leaders, with
their cant and affected love for the country,
have duped many honest men into the be
lief thai they are sincere, when their whole
political life is a living wituessof their deep
hypocrisy and want of truth. The old Un
ion never suited them, and they never suit
ed the old Union. It was too broad and
expai.sive for their narrow eon Is, and they
were too selfish and too sectional for its ex
panded domain and diversified interests.
When attacked by a foreign foe these Abo
litioi leaders never fought far the Union ;
when laws, demanded by the Constitution,
were to be passed they opposed, and when
passed these same men formed nnlawful
combinations to resiet their execution. Al
though theifaihers of these men, . previous
.to the year 1808, when the slave trade was
abolished snpplied the South with "hu
man chattel" from the coast of Africa, yet
their sons spent much of the money thus
acquired in stealing and running off on the
underground railroad the offspring of the
very slaves stolen from 'Africa by their
fathers.
How can men who act thus be Union
men! The thing is impossible. They prate
of their Unionism, it is tru5, and ihe arch
fiend, it is said, can quote Scripture when
it suits his purpose. If sincere, they would
setk to right the wrongs they have inflicted
on the country ; would repeal all their un
constitutional laws, rescind all their milita
ry orders that coaflict with the.Constilatioii,
and annul all the silly and mischievous
proclamations which President Lincoln, by
the advice and consent of his Abolition ad
visers, has issued, and which, acting as
firebrands, have the tendency to further
excite the people and prolong the war. .
1 RfmarkablelSpeteh.
Mr. Thaddeus Stevens, of Pa,, the Ad
ministration leader on the floor of the House,
has been making a speech we may say
een a remarkable speech. Mr. Stevens
long sinca ridiculed the ieea or restoring
the government of Washington, and declar
ed that he did not wish to see it re estab
lished. Bat he goes even one step further
now, and rocognizes the Southern Confeder
acy ! Seeing the impossibility of defend
ing the Confiscation Act under the Consti
tution, he declares that "it is a proceeding
under the laws of war over which the Con
stitution has no control .whatever." "The
Rebels," be said, "had risen to a separate
government. Which ever nation conquer
ed, had a right to treat the other as a con
quered province." Here, then, is a distinct
abandonment, on the part of the Adminis
tration leader in the House, not only of any
pretence of restoring the Union, but even
of the fundamental doctrines of a Republi
can government. "Conquered provinces"
were, indeed, known utider the imperial
Csesars. and are still common in absolute
governments.' Poland is a conquered prov
ince of Russia.' Hungary sabmits to the
yoke of Austria, because her life-blood was
trodden out of her by the allies of despot
ism; but it has remained for "the party of
freedom" to introduce the Muscovite doc
trine here. The men who have boasted so
loudly ol devotion to free institutions who
have proclaimed the Declaration of Inde
pendence as the shibboleth of their party
creed, now shamelessly trample it under
their feet, and openly boast of reducing a
portion of this country to the condition ol
"conquered provinces."
All this would not be so wicked and
abominable, if it were not done under the
hypocritical plea of ''restoring the Union,"
of preserving "the best government on the
face of the earth." : A few men like Mr.
Stevens, who rea'ly drive the car of war
and who are its real and responsible man
gers, speak out openly and distinctly, but
a great crowd of t'Wax Democrat" coward
ly and tamely go on supporting the Admin
istration under the old Union plea, and thos
the people are blinded and led on in this
gigantic crusade against the very . existence
of Republican . institutions on this Conti
nent. - "
Ws regard it as the bight of impudence
for those, who have been the cause of thia
war, and have hounded off to death those
who hid do share .in producing it, to thrast
themselves forward a the eulogizsrs of
those whose blocd is cpoa their ekirti.
Senators Wilson'! Expansion Eiploiioa,
- In the United States Senate, on Thursday
afternoon, Mr., Wilson of Massachusetts,
withdrew his resolution for the expulsion
of Garrett Davis of Kentucky. '
Such is the brief announcement of a back
down on the part of the Chairman of the
Committee on Military Affairs in the Sen
ate. Senator Davia of Kentucky .offered a
series of resolutions recently, embodying
more facts tfean Senator Wilson ever utter
ed in the same number of words, and era
bracing more patriotism and devotion to
the Constitution than Senator Wilson ever
dreamed of; and fo Mb is the Massachusetts
Senator introduced a resolution for the ex
pulsion ot Senator Davis, and thereupon
predicted a speech, for vulgarity has scarce
a parallel in the purlieus of Billingsgate in
the worst days of its blackguardism . In the
elder days of the Republic, when the Uni
ted States Senate was composed of states
men, such conduct would not have been
tolerated for one moment ; but in the seats
once filled by Webster, Clay, Calhoun,
Wright, Benton, Forsythe and Cass, are
no feund the Wilsons, Chandlers, Steven
ses; Wades, and others of the pothouse
order of politicians ; and that once noted
body, deservedly ranked as the most tai
nted legislative.bady in the world, is now
the mere wreck, if not worse, of its former
self, and is last earning (he contempt ot the
people for which its base truckling to the
one man power.
In withdrawing his resolution, bsfore
pressing it to a vote, Wilson avowed that
his charges were without foundation, and
he shoulJ have made an apology for their
introduction. This, however, is not to be
expected; for one who could charge a
brother Senator, more than his peer in tat
ent and in education, and so far above , him
in gentlemanly bearing as it is possible for
one Senator to be abov another, with be
ing a ''babbling fool," is too far lost to
common decency to do this act of justice.
Hale on Free Speech and People's Rights.
Whatever may be said of Mr. Hale's little
weakness, in the matters pecuniary, and
however one may disagree with bis political
principles, he has always throughout hie
whole life demanded some show of respect
from his opponents by the bold, outspoken
manliness of spirit which he has ever ex
hibited. Indeed we may safely say that
uutil the late unfortunate exposure of his
bad faith in selling his political influence
to release from prison one whom he or bis
friends had put in there, no one.of his bitter
est political enemies ever thought ill of him.
His conduct and his remarks yesterday in
the Senate fully just ifiy the good opinion
which has thus far prevailed. It is a hap
py thing to believe that there exists one
man in that body, even if we do uot ex
pect, who dares to speak up for those rights
which have given us all we have and made
ns all that we are. Ibdeed we have always
wondered how Mr. Hale's impatience of
oppression, and of shams, his apparent
love of justice and liberty, could have 'so
long restrained themselves in the presence
of so much of what he must have been con
scions was great wickedness. We had
expected ere this, to have heard him break
away from and condemn in thunder tones,
thi falsehoods and hypocrisies, and expose
the personal revenge, which takes the name
of patriotic zeal of Sdmncb and Wilson.
Si ill, gratifying and reassuring to a small
extent, as is Mr. Hale's speech, neither he
nor any Democratic Senator who spoke
went far enough, nor said what the occasion
seemed to us to have demanded. Nobody
denied, what should have been denied, Mr.
Wil-on'b assertion that a convention of the
people would be a revolt. Nobody defen
ded, what ought to have been defended,
Mr. Davis' proposition that the people of
the different States can rightfully met in
convention, and outset those in authority
from their places, add place new officers
there, or change the whole form of govern
ment if they choose to do so. This is the
principle which should have been main
tained on that floor by those who wish to
preserve a fragment of oor liberties. It is
a bad sign that these ccramon-places of our
governmental establishment -are not fre
quently and defiantly proclaimed, are per
mitted 10 be ' questioned and denied nay
worse, a Senator is to be putiitbed for utter
ing them. If any punishment was to be met
ed out, it was certainly more due to those
Senators who denied the sovereignty of the
people, than to him who denied the sover
eignty of the "President and his constitu
tional advisers." -:
As to the expediency of Mr, Davis' plan
of calling a convention of the people of the
States, we are not saying a word although
we could wish for nothing better. " But we
do maintaic thoir most perfect right to do it
whenever they wish, either through the
forms of the Constitution or outside of the
forms of the Constitution, in the capacity of
the sovereigns who made it. The people
of each state, tuo molu, without any inter
ference of the State Legislatures, or Federal
recommendation, or any ' other assistance ,
can create a convention, whose mandates
it would be the duty of A. Lincoln and his
satellites to obey, and if they did not, they
it would be who woukl be in a state of re
vojt not tha people. Until we see this
doctrine acknowledged or admitted by Con
gress, we cannot but feel uneasy and anx
ious, because it is the denial of this right
of the people which is the ground work and
excuse of every tyranny. We feel assured
that if once these lawless men feel that we
the people have relinquished, or will, not
assert the rights which once we held so
dear, they will nol fail to use them against
us. For this reason we once more regret
that the fallacies and unwarrantable as.
sumptions of power of Mr. Wilson have
not been exposed and denied. Philadefpha

officers of every rank, were present, with
some 250 civiani.
General Grant declined to extend his

re
for the honor conferred on him .
latTTwaFnews.
The President has ordered another draft
for five hundred thousand men, to be made
on the tenth of M?rch. Thia is to inclnde
the three hundred thousand which were to
have been taken on the fifib of January lat.
As the draft in 1863 did not produce as
many men, subs'itutes and all, as were lost
in the Western Department alone, during
the time the names were being drawn,
the community can judge how many this
new call will secure. The quota of Phila
delphia under this call, will be about four
teen thousanj five hundred men.
The news from Chattanooga is important.
The enemy have withdrawn their advanced
positions from Ringgold to Palton. They
accomplished their retreat successfully, in
the face of General Grant's entire army,
withdrawing on last Thursday night, and
losing but thirty-two killed and wounded.
At the last advices, a small portion of Geti.
Grant's force had advanced but a short dis
tance beyond Ringgold. An expedition,
about twenty-five hundred strong, was out
on a recngnoissance, and had gone to Tun
nel Hill, six miles from Dalton, and five
miles from Ringgold. The enemy, under
General Claiborne, confronted them on the
road to Dalton. An official report of Forrest's
recent raid opon Athens and Florence has
been sent to Washington. The Federal loss
was forty. ' The Confederate General Mor
gan is massing bis forces at Decatur, in
Georgia, from which place he can operate
either East or West of Chattanooga.
There is, as yet nothing de fin ate from
East Tennessee. An order has been issued
at Washington relieving General Foster.
On January 22J, the Confederates and Fed
erals were skirmishing across the Holston
river, bat six miles from Knoxville.
There is a dispatch from Nashville, about
a defeat of the enemy's cavalry at Fair Gar
dens but it is no vague and wandering, that
although signod by Gen. Grant, (who by
the way is at St. Louis, and who does not
asnally write in the heroic style) we can
scarcely give it credence. It says that an
infantry divisioo charged with the sahre upon
a cavalry division, and captured "two rifled
guns' from them.
Infantry don't use sabres, and cavalry
don't nse rifled guns.
The Confederates in Virginia have with
drawn s lightly, in front of General Meade.
This gives thn Federal army possession of
the Cedar Mountain baltle-fielrf, though
the enemy still garrison the mountain, the
peak of which ia south of the battle ground.
There is also a Federal picket line again on
the north bank of the lower Rapidan. A
recent reconnoissaoce to Aldie,in the Shen
andoah valley, discovered nothing. - The
guerrillas are beginning to infest the railroad
again. . On Friday night they attacked a
wagon park near. Alexandria, capturing
several teams. ; . .

dollars have been fixed by the Senate al
ready as the commutation fee. The act has
also been amended so as to make the nine
month's men subject to the next draft. We
are opposed lo the whole conscription bill,
and more especially the clause making us
subject to the draft again so soon. The
Conscription Act stands to-day an uncon
stitutional act as decided by the Supreme
Court of Pennslvania, and their decision
has never been reversed.

United States. The Committee have been
instructed lo enquire whether it would be
just and expedient to extend the time of
the grants, several of these states now being
in rebellion.
