THE UNION ADDRESS
We publish to-day the Address of the
Committee of 4.tto late Union County L7on
vention 7,o'fliarvolors of Allegheny county.
It is au admirable and patriotic document,
carefully avOiding all inferences to any
issues save the groat issue of saving the
comdri,
The address embodies the address of the
Cominitbia of Public Safety issued five
montlialgo and signed by over a hundred
and - fifty of the best men in our county,
men of . ajl parties previous to the occasion
which !called forth that address. This
appeal to the people to forego partizan
issues which was so nobly responded to,
was read from every pulpit in the city, and
was ordered of record for reference in all
time to come as the declaration of a
Union loving community. Its words and
its sentiments are pure and true. Fivo
months ago the public heart responded to
thhkappeal with an universal sympathy.
Again the response will be equally en 1-
vertial4r it is more necessary now than it
was- thatit, that the government should be
sustained by ail its children.
Toittfury man in this county, this ad
&ask, armlet in tones of patriotism. it

Will - be responded to by hearts equally hon

Thekseirrender of Col. Mulligan Is fully

fight -- bgainst•the , rebels. This oath will,
we - presume be respected by the govern
ment,lii:Wai" the case with that of the
United 'Stites' Troops taken in Texas.
The in2modiate cause of the surrender,
it appears, was the conduct of the Home
Guards, who raised a white flag unknown
to Chd._ Mulligan and were eo clamorous
for a capitulation that be was forced to
comply With their wish. The Colonels
clothes were riddled with balls, and
appears to have fought with true Irish
bravery and pluck.,,, These Home Guards.

THE UNION 2.OE MEET.
The singular and pertinacious blind
ness of the Gazelle in refusing to see coy
of the vast Union movements which are
taking place all over the North, does not
k4e.eiVilt.a single one of its readers. This
is, rortunately for the people, a day when
men rend more than one newspaper,
and if the Gazette, chosing to display its
entire devotion to party and to a straight
out gffiek-seeking ticket, and its utter
carelessness of the great interests of the
country—such papers as the New York
Trilmae, and a host of others, tell the
people that the Union is strong and that
people, without distinction of party, are
determined to endorse and maintain it
in its integrity.
The Union men of this county are
determined that the course of the Ad.
ministration in regard to this war shall
be endorsed by a banner vote.
The country people are fully posted
upon the question, and they are almost
to a man disgusted at the partizan course
of the ola.:ette, and its manifest intention
to keep bank the truth in order to favor
the into ests of office-seekers. They will
vote for the Union ticket as a matter of
honest principle.
They also see in this movement an
opportunity to purge the Court !louse
of a class of political office-holders, who
have wronged the tax-payers, and who,
it would seem, cannot be compelled to
render an account of their stewardship.
It is apparent to us that they are
determined to initiate this movement
now, and by throwing oft the , lia,•kles
party, not only show their united fealty
to their government., but to commence
a. reform at home which Ps the end—
when fully carried out--will result in
incredible benefit to themselves.
The Ga:ettc may he as mum as it
pleases in regard to the Union move
ment—the people are not deceive.l by
its partizan policy,
SLAVERY AND THE WAR.
Th e question of slavery as connected
with this war is a difficult one. 'Mere
are many who actually desire that the
war should be made one for the extermi
nation 01 rlavely instead or the ilreser
valion of our constitutional form of
government, Those who would advocate
such a doctrine are not friends of the
Union.
We find in tho New York 14 7 /,ril an
article in which the position of slavery
in this war is very tersely, clearly and
truly stated. We make the following
extract and recommend our readers
carefully to consider and apply the ar
gument therein contained:

A IIKAIIA?d LI 5C01,14
It is true that slavery is a curse; but it
does out follow Mat its sudden and sweep
ing abolition will be a blessing,
h is true that sluveholders who turn
against the Constitution justly forfeit all
constitutional protoctionj but it door) not
follow thet a military general is the prop
' or alltlitrily to declare that forfeiture.
It is true that threaten& emancipation
may bo 'an important means of attack ;
but it dog not follow that September is
the time or St. Louis tho place, to use it.
The difficulty is, that in our hatred of
slavery, we are too apt to make the fate of
that institution the paramount considera-
tion. It is not. What this government
is struggling for is its own constitutional
existence—that, and that alone. By gov
ernment, we mean the government at
Washington, The people have constituted
no other; the Constitution knows no other,
That government, of which Abraham
Lincoln is the executive head, is bound
first of all to maintain its own supremacy.
It cannot share authority with any other,
powor,whethor that power be civil or mili
tary. The exclusivecontrol belongs to itself
and the very day it yields this, it invites
destruction. We have live or six military
clopartmenti ; to consent that each corn
Launder of these shall, at his own pleasure,
without uusultation with the govern rneu t
at Vlitn hington, initiate a movement of
such tremendous scope as the proclamation
of General Fremont, and that too in the
face of the express leginlation of Congress
upon this subject, is to consent that the
unity of government shall be deal.royed,
and that everything should give way to
arbitrary will and fatal confusion. Presi-
dent Lincoln did his simple duty iu no
consenting to it. He has, at, this early
stage of aggressive operations, established
a principle of supreme consequence, vitally
involving all constitutional authority,—
The Constitution maket, him the head of
both the civil and the military administra
tion of the nation. As regrets his civil
administration, Congress supplies him with
statute law, and he is bound to adhere
strictly to it, so far as it goes. As respects
his military administration, ho is the pro.
sulund source of martial law, if there be oc
casion for it; and in no ease ought that law
to he established without his authority,
unless some sudden extreme emergency cc , .
curs which renders immediate action nets
emary and loaves no opportuniy for appeal
to him. General Fremont experienced no
such emergency. Yet if ho had content^d
himself with the mere proclamation of
martial law in its ordinary range, the Pres.
dont doubtless would leave found no dill

ordinary feature of the universal eon firma
tion of rebel property—a feature not prop
erly belonging to martial law at all and
yet' far transcending the statute law of
()engross —it WAS this which President
Lincoln set aside, in faithful regard for the
esrdinal principles of the government, and
its security from every chhnce of military
usurpation. In that view this actipn of the
President deserves unqualfted commenda
tion, whatever its effect be upon slavery.

A Case for Great Relate.
We and the following in the Chicago
4 ' . 1 Jules
The remains of T. B. McManus have
reached New York, and solemn religis
ous cermonies have taken place. The
proposed future disposition of the re,
mains induces us to say a few words in
explanation of the matter.
McManus was one of the Irishmen
arrested in 1818, and convicted of tree•
son, and sentenced to imprisonment in
Van Dieman's land. Some time after
his arrival there, he escaped and reach
ed California ; where he resided until
his death.
Recently his remains have been
brought to New York with a view to
their transportation to and final inter
ment in Ireland. They are accompa
nied by a largedelogation from California,
and it is supposed that at least five
hundred persons will leave New York
with them on the :41 of October, when
they leave by steamer far Ireland. The
programme for the future is an extensive
one, and one which it is extremely
doubtful whethter. the government of
Great Britain will allow to bo carried
out. It is proposed that the steamer
bearing the body of McManus and the
American delegation shall land at Gal
way, on the western coast of Ireland,
and that on its landing an imposing
funeral demonstration shall take place.
The coffin, from the moment the
steamer reaches Ireland, is to be
from place to place upon
the shoulders of men. From Galway
the procession is t., l roeced on foot
down through the southwestern coun
ties until it reaches Coil:, where a like
demonstration is to be had ; from Cork
it is to proceed (always on font) through
the country to Clonrael, in Tipperary,
and there, in that town, in front of the
Court House in which Montanus was
convicted and sentenced, an oration is
to he delivered, and the grand funeral
cerinony is to be repeated. From ('ion
in el the prooesi.don IN ill he resumed, and
wind its way along through the prinoi
a) riti sff the sontli•ca-tern eounties,
until it reaches Dublin whore the final
cermonies will take place, and the body
laid in a tooth, near that city, at the
side the celebrated Theobald W o lf
Tune.
vtutme h.) say that O'Connell in
the raltnicst days of his glory when the
L •;e nation apparently turned out to
greet him, never aroused such depth of
feeling; never awakened such mournful
memories. and Limier drew together
such multitudes as will follow the cor
tege of the dead McManus. He re
turn:, iu the custody of
.Americans, re
turns to be buried in the land of his
fathers, in the home of his childhood
and among the people who never have
forgotten to revere him as a patriot.
Will Great Britain permit this pro
gramme to be carried out? Will it al•
low a convicted felon, though dead, to
be thus honored in the land from which
be was ignominiously banished? Will.
the government of Great Britain per
mit the country to be aroused by a pro
cession winding from distant parts of
the island and taking in its route all
those portions where the patriotic tires
of '9B and '4B still burn, if secretly,
not the less certainly nor vigorously?—
Will the British government permit
the assemblage of two hundred thus
and people at Cork, and twice that
number at Clontuel„ and still a greater
number at Dublin, to bear orations and
participate in honors to a man branded
by tha(govornment with the title of
felon, and banished as a traitor frotithe
land of his birth and his affections -:
Will Great Britain fear McManus dead,
as much as it feared him living?—
Though dead, his silent coffin will speak
in more powerful language than ever
fell from his lips, of the wrongs perpe
trated upon his country. Though his
lips be sealed forever and his eyes no
longer capable of looking upon the mul
titudes in whose memory he has never
ceased to live, that coffin, draped in the
green flag of Ireland, and the starry en
sign of his adopted country, will speak
a tale that no language can relate. It
will revive memories of the past; will
awaken once more the recollection of
the hitter days when Irishmen were
pronounced aliens in Ireland, and their
green Isle robbed forever of its nation
ality
It was its extra
We confess that we do not believe
the government of Great Britain will
permit the Programme of the 'McManus
obsequies to be carried out. And yet
what a spectacle will it present to the
world iu its refusal. The powerful gov
ernment of Great Britain trembling at
the sight of the dead McManus. But
speculation is idle at this time. The
result will soon be known.
The Rebels at Munson', Hill,
This morning the rebels assembled
several hundred cavalry ou the side of

compare it with , the thite;ttrOtbniti:iiddreas was
published. Are we in batter eandktion toPlay the
pert IZ 4C now, than we were then!' What have we
done lowarita crushing out rebellioh, to justify us
trousing old reale:en jealousiee? Can we t.l
Allegheny county afford to dig up from oblivion old
causes of disaffection, while,,. threnghout the al.
moat entire North the peop'e are growinghnnited?
On the contrary,_ how many .
.tocOntivell have Mode
lraeish everything like faction, in _the hope of be•
coming really one peotths. Our brothers, &Mal*
and fellow-eithens of every party, are in the field,
fighting for a united country. While, even now, our
sinters are v ocal with martini strains, eneohragink4
others to loin their advancing legions! 'Let us
emulate their example and forget party in the eon"
tomplat,on of country. Let ne, stimulate our
soldiers in the field by rxhibiting unanimity among
ourselves; and when the rebellion to crushed we
can all mingle our tears anal salutations with the
brave defenders of our Union, and welcome them
home to enjoy a lasting peace.

Abe counsels of thus dogeiterate paper to be fob

Meddling Editors
The Administration has been appeal.
ed to to atop the writings of Dr. .Rusiv
sell. Mr. Seward says they can do no
harm, while the tirades of our own pa
pers against the President for his ,
ter to Fremont cannot fail to have an
injurious effect upon the public mind.
We arc prone to discover.
.the er
ror of others, but blind to our own.
The Intelligencer justly says;
"Those who dissent from the wisdom
of the President's order, restraining the
proceedings of General Fremont within
the limits of the law of Congress, are
ready, it seems, to acquiesce in the
parcelling out of the national authority
into as many major generaliddps as we
have major generals in the field. These
latter, in their several military die:
tricts, and not the l'resident as their
constitutional Commander-in-chief, are
to °entre!, without let or hindrance, all
military operations, and decide ques
tions of civil an I social law which nein
ther the Constitution nor the laws
of ('engross have remitted to the adjus
dieation of one or the other.",
'l' he Gazette will please notice.
Postage Stamps.
The lost Office Department has made
a blunder, it is evident, -in directing
that, after axertain date, the postage
stamps hitherto in use shall not free
letters sent by mail. A postage,...stamp.
however small the amount, as much
represents a , ,Government obligatlenAs
a treasury note.. The note is a promise
to pay at a certain 'time; the postage.
stamp is a promise to oarry a letter •
through the post office whenever used;
Note and stamp. are documentary evil
dance that money has been paid to the
Government. To repudiate .a treasury
note and to repudiate a postage-stomp
involves the same principle, though
there is a difference of value. 'The
stamp-holder :and jibe note holder are,
equally publikereditors. The GoVern
ment- wiactr. give new stamps for
old, or, whaVitii . efill'itte_ let , the

The Thomas 17;iihiogliei-OliiiiiiifAitioit
Bosron, Monday, Sept. ,1861.
The Meagher Demonstration to , nlOY
attracted an immense audience. .- u-
sic Hall was filled to i**nosVatiOg
ity, and more than 2,00040 e 4iernii#
away unable to gain ad,Oiteet: 1:01:
audience, closely ipacka, numbered
not less than 4,000. About $1;500
were realized. His_ Excellency, Gay._
Andrews, presided, and was received
with hearty applause. In introducing
Mr. Meagher
"I should. be unjust this
brilliant audience and ..i.warttimin,l4 :
courtesy which is foam distinguish.
nd and eirsidenegenttomAn, whose
name has attiacted you hither, were I
to detain yen longer Ah4d,tri 'nirpross;in
a few simple phrases my f sense. of Ore
honor you have done me_in inviting
me to take part in this most, patriotic
demonstration, These are - tirade in
which we should have but a, word and,
a blow, and the blow should strike as
soon as the ward is 'Spoken, Another
is here to strike. the blow le-nightand
he will strike with neble,stiongthfoast
stalwart arm. - Mhiinvlllo l o
pronounce the word and that word is,
Thomas Francis Meagher" T,remen,
dour applause followed Which was con%
tinned with the waving hats and .
handkerchiefs, as Mr.Meaglier took,the
desk.
When quiet had been restored. Mr.
Meagher spoke. Ile commenced with
an eloquent and brilliant sketch of the
prowess and valor of Irishmen in the
battles of the civilized world. The
Irish soldier had left his foot-prints in
every camp, and his blood had moisten•
ed every battle field until he has found
at last a cause in which ho can draw
his sword with honor unchallenged and
unimpeaohed. Ho examined with a
starching power the reasons which had
induced the Southern people to km.
sheatli the sword in fratricidal war—
not against the Crovernment simply,but
against the people. •So far from being
the wronged party, the South had been
the ruling party. But in this very
fact wo find the only reason for ieVolt.
The Southerner had become so accus
tomed to rule he could not reconoilelo"
the will of the majority, craskitutionally
expressed, when that , will took the
reins of power from his hands. -
In regard to President Likkeolkaho
jocularly asked, "Was he not qualified
for office ?" "Was he not of.thp prop.
er age ?" "Was he not perfeetly,
white ?" "Was his blood at
tainted ?" "Was there a curl in his
hair ?" No-matter under what' plat%
form he was nominated, or untie
what illuminated processions his camo
paign was conducted; the 'moment he
took the oath of President of the „Unit,
ted States, that moment the platform
disapPeared from his view; he believed
in nothing but this magnificentemn. ,
try before him toikreside own: r and Un
der the Constitution and the Laws
He contended that if individuals and
States have stepped aside from their
duty to ither States and sections the-
Union had been faithful to the South.
So said the Emperor of Russia the
other day, and so will impartial history
say when it comes to record the events
now inprogresp . He examined the
position of the "Peace" conspirators
with clear and searching sarcasm.
To talk of peace, ho said, to such a
Government, with stieh a harvest of
insolence to thrash out, was treason to
the country and civilization. He Ind
been a Democrat, and with peace would
be a Democrat again, but during 'the
war he was no Democrat. It should'
not be written on his grave as was
written of an illustrious countryman,
"He gave up for party what was in
tended for mankind." Ho did- not
hesitate to say that the peace conspira
tors of the North were Democrats
In the concluding portion of his ad
dress, Mr. Meagher was especially do ,
pent, and stirred the hearts of his au
ditors as with the sound of the trumps'
et, when ho invoked them by all they
valued and all they .held dear, as Irish
men, to rally for the defence oftheflag;
and he would inscribe upon that flag,
'Death, if yea will; victory if God will'
give it us; but no defeat, and 'no rei
treat."
He paid a warm and feeling tribute
to tho patriotism of the brave
enduring Colonel. Mulligan, which
was received with warm applause,
and drew a vivid picture of the return
of our armies to their homes--after
victory shall have restored :the Union
in its integrity. After the meeting
Mr. M. was conducted to the Parker
House to partake of a banquet that
had been spread in his honor. Patriotic
speeches, songs and sentiments, mingled
with the good cheer, and every one en
joyed himself to hie heart's content.
