TEAL COMMITTEE
We direct attention to the second ad
dress of the Stato Central Committee pub
lished in to•day's paper ; it is sound, able
and conservative ; and its arguments and
suggestions should be carefully considered.
THE VAGARIES OF A. DEMA
GOGUE.
There is a class of fanatical talkers and
writers in the free States, who, while
eternally mouthing their own intense pa
triotism, succeed in speaking and publish
ing the rankest admixtures of nonsense
and treason. Of this class of blatant and
pompous declaimers is the principal of the
Philadelphia Press. Having no fixed con
ception of anything, he is blown about
from post to pillar, and is always extrava
gant in his fussy advocacy of each new
suggestion or opinion. The Washington
correspondence, over the signature ti(
"Occasional," who is known to be the
editor himself, demonstrates this fact
almost every day. • Fond of being original
and oracular, this "Occasional'' is con_'
stantly rendering himself ridiculous: in
his last swelling communication upon the
duties of governments, the fellow has run
quite out of his senses.
Not many months ago this "Occasion
al" broached the-idea of permitting the
Gulf States to retire from the Union ; this
luminous mode of getting rid of our
trouble didn't strike the common under
standing very favorably, and so it was
abandoned and in its stead a very opposite
notion has been ventilated, and that, too,
with all the pomposity which usually char
akerizes_ the "Occasional" correspond
ence. To give our readers a proper
conception of this, we are compelled to
copy this lengthy paragraph :
"In dismissing forever from our minds
this hateful idea of Separation, let us turn
to the Old lrorld and borrow from other
Governments a wholesome and a practical
example. What constitutes the secret of the
power—military, naval, political and social
—of the mighty govern m eats of Europe, but
the-unity of their dominions? The strug
gles of their rulers for hundreds of years
have been directed against disunion. We
have only to read the pages that record the
efforts of England in consummating the
consolidation of her empire by sealing to
it Ireland and Scotland, to understand
the sacrifices that she has made to this
idea. The constant endeavor of Eng
land, from the time of Edward the First
to the death of Elizabeth was to subdue
Scotland so as to annex that territory to
its own. These hostile endeavors did not I
succeed, for Scotland never came into
the English connection .until James
Stuart, the last of her independent
sovereigns, succeeded to the British Crown,
by hereditary succession, on the death of
Elizabeth Tudor - some two hundred and
fifty years ago. ' lreland, :lactated and be
trayed, nearly eight centuries ago, was
possessed but not subdued by England, and
her history is the record of a succession of
revolts against this /ism:potion. At last.
what force could not effect was perpetrated
by fraud. At the close of the last centu
ry, that vile politieian, whose name is not
mentioned in his native land to this day
Without execrations—that enemy ofhuman
liberty—that cunning, cruel minister, Lord
Castlereagh, the virtually ruler of the land,
employed his -spies and myrmidons to
get up another Irish Rebellion, which was
. made to explode in the fatal Ninety-eight,
and was put down, by force of arms and
lreacher.y, by the troops of the British
Government, and was followed by the most
cruel punishment of even the mere sus
pected unfortunates, as well as of those
who had been seduced into revolt. 'two
- years later, this got-up rebellion was made
the pretext, by Castlereagh and Pitt, of;
effecting that parchment or act of Parlia
ment Union with Englund, which the Irish
have been striving, ever — since to break.
Immense sums were spent by England to
break up, by buying off, the Irish Parlia
ment, and thus, the English principle of
unity was carried out, though at a fearful
sacrifice of life, treasure, and principle.—
In other parts of Europe the same efforts
have constantly been made, and still are
making, for the same purpose. Spain,
while in her pride, to retain the Low
Countries ; France to preserve the do
minions of,the Dukes of Burgundy ; Rus
sia, to bind Poland, the province s of the
Black Sea and the Caucasian regions, un
der one rule ; Austria, to preserve Bohe
mia, Hungary, Dalmatia, and Northltaly
in the circle of her dominion. Every
where, the same action has been taken
all, with the single but universal determi
nation to carry out the principle of con
solidation. Shall the Crated States of
AMerica fall from their high position, in
the face of every argument ty reason, of
honor, and of interest., and in defiance of
the eloquent teachings furnished in the his
tory of other nations Y''
It is evident from this inflated paragraph
that, "Occasional " did not precisely per
ceive what he was writing 'theta. In order
to put down domestic treaso n here is it
necessary to resort to England's wholesale
system of robbery, oppression and plun
der. Our government is not engaged in
such an enterprise, but is, Mr. Occasional,
simply struggling to recover what has been
stolen from her; mark that. Were the
United States, in the plentitude of their
power, employed . ,as England has been for
eight centuries, in 'robbery and oppression
in every quarter of the globe, there might
be some point in Occasional's advice. pro
vided the people of our country were de
sirons of becoming thieves. Our net
lican theory, however, did'nt approve of
the English system of strengthening her
self by oppressing her neighbors, else we
should hive commenced long ago annexing
all the territories on this continent; to
hold them as conquered provinces, and
then, like Castlereagh, resort to the du-
plicity and cruelties which marked his vile
career. The government and people of
the United States used to sympathise
with those struggling against England's
oppression : now, in order to be successful
in putting down a most causeless and in
famous rebellion, we need not adopt a
policy which is infamous. Our business is
to preserve our government against the
efforts of those who are end mvoring so
destroy it, and in order to accomplish that
magnificent undertaking we need not re
sort to the cruelties, the cheats and in
famies suggested by the chivalric Forney.
The government of the United States, la
boring to preserve itself against the treason
of her own ahildren, is quite a different
affair to that of England and other nations
absorbing and oppressing their weaker
neighbors.
Perhaps the Press anticipates a speedy
end tq the rebellion, and is therefore desi
rous of carving out new employment for
our great army of a million trained veter
ans. In this it will be joined by all the
contractors, smilers and paymasters in the
service, beside a large class of others who
have lined their sleeves by following the
war. All that cunning class to which
"Occasional" belongs, beside the numer
ous members of Congress who have se
cured large jobs for favorite constituents,
and for themselves, will favor the idea of
carrying ou the war against all creation.
It is a huge idea, but after the rebel, are
conquered we will take a breathing spell
before entering upon so grand a scheme
of warfare. merely to gratify the longings
of spoilsmen who fatten oil the nation's
calamities.
NO HOPE FOR THE RECOGN/-
TION OF THE SOUTH
_ .
In the House of Lords Lord Stratheldem
moved for a correspondenve with Mr. Ma
sort relative to the acknowledgement
the Southern states.
Earl Russell said it was not expedient
to produce papers. The agent of the t 'on
federate States was not recognized, and
all communications were unofficial. Cor
respondence had taken place with Messrs.
Adams and Seward, but the Ilrittsh goy
enment replied as before. Ile .tate.l that
no communication had been received 11'0111
any foreign power relative to the r..c.gui
tion or the Southern states.
COL. CORCORAN RELEASED.
it will gladden- the heart of every pa
triot in the nation t‘i hoar of the r,leaso of
Col. Corcoran. lli. reappearance in \,••a•
York eitywill be worth a whole

THE QUEEN'S SPEECH.
The Queen, in a speech proroguing l'ar
liament, says :
"The civil war which for sonic tone ha. ,
been raging in America, has unfortunately
continued its unabated intensity, and the
evils with which it has been attended have
not been confined to the American ciinti
fent, but her majesty having front the
outset determined to take no part in the
contest, has seen no reason to depart from
the neutrality which she has steadily ,id
keret" to.''
r is now stated that Oen. Benham hmi
not been stricken from the rolls of the
army, but ordered to report to the Chief ot
Engineers. He should have been stricken
from the rolls of the army, or at least
tried, when he was charged by his superior
with being a "liar, a drunkard and a
coward...
4&" GEN. I'ot'a has isAued an order ox
plaining his famous No. 5 order, rei uirim
his troops to be subsisted on the enemy.
He has adopted Gen. McClellan's COIIIIIIOII
sense ideas on that subject, as will he
noticed in the telegraph column.
Who Shall Decide?
There is a conflict between the follow
ing orders of General HaHeck and Secre
Lary Stanton, which should be reconcile(
at once:
" WAstitsuro2,, August I;.
'rolessor A. E. Chur,h, lit Peiut.
"Dam: Stit:—Yoars of the just
received. While in the West I gave a
leave to every regular officer who could
get a volunteer regiment. Heretofore the
policy here has been opposed to this. I
have just given orders to the Adjutant-
General to give every regular ollieer
leave who receives the commission of a
Volunteer Colonel, and I am satisfied
they can do more good at the head of a
regiment than with a bare fragment of a
company. Yours truly,
" If.
" I;th. Exigencies of the service require
that officers now in the field should remain
with their commands, and no officer now
in the field, in the regular or volunteer
service, will, under any circumstances, lie
detailed to accept a new command.
"By order of the President.
" EDWIN M. STANTON,
"Secretary of War."
The last order was issued on the 14. th
inst., and there is a general inquiry as to
which shall take the recedenc
Tha New York if o p dd, comm e.
enting on
General Halleck's order, says:
"General Halleck, it seems, has decid
ed that regular army officers shall be per
mitted to accept commands in the valun
tear force, where the change involves a
higher grade. He has followed this rule in
the West, as he thinks to the great advan
tage of the army in that quarter. A dif
ferent rule has heretofore prevailed East.
Officers in the regular army have not been
permitted to accept better positions in the
volunteer force, thus depriving the latter
of their education and experience, and
keeping them in subordinate positions,
while lawyers and politicians monopolized
the highest grades In the volunteer army.
Hereafter, therefore, there will be a larger
infusion of educated officers throughout
our whole army, and especially in the new
levy, where they are most needed. Of
course, while regular officers were not al
lowed to accept colonelcies from volunteer
- organization s , it did not prevent them from
being promoted by the Government, and
hence generals like Heintzelman, Porter,
and the rest hold high commissions in the
volunteer army, while their grades in the
regular service are comparatively subor
dinate. This new order of General Hal
-leek will still farther : confound the distinc
tion between the volunteers and the regu
lars, by transferring the experienced and
competent officers from the latter into the
former. This is as it should be."
TO THE DEMOCRATS,
AND ALL OYFIER FRIENDS, OF Till.
Constitution and Union in Pennsylvania
At the meeting of the Democratic
State Central Committee held the 29th ult.,
the following resolutionlvaa'alopted:‘—
Rcsoleed, Thatthe Chairman call upon
the loyal men of Pennsylvania, through
the Democratic Standing Committees of
the several cities and counties of the State.
at such places as shall he designated by
the said Standinm '' Committees respective
ly, on the 17th of September next, to cel
ebrate that day as the anniversary of the
day of the adoption of the Constitution of
the United States.
Pursuant to this resolution, 1 call upon
the Democratic Standing Committees re
spectively iu the several cities and coun
ties of Pennsylvania to requeft the Demo
crats
and all the loyal citizens to convene
in mass meetings at such places and at
such hours as they respectively may des
ignate, on the 17th of September next,
to commemorate the adopt ton of the Con
stitution of the l'nited States of America.
Since the 17th of September, 1767, there
has been no period in the history of Amer
ica when it was so eminently fitting and
important. as the present to bring to the at
tention V the Amercian people, great
fundamental principles. which must under
lie any Government where civil and re
ligious liberty exists, and especially those
that underlie the:Government of t his Union
—a Union which rests for its foundation
von that Constitution which affirms and
proposes to make sacred and perpet tiil those
principles. That Constitution and that
onion "one and inseparable — —are now
assailed by foes throughout the whole land:
by Secessionists in the South and by Ab•
olitionists in the North. The former by a
hold. organized, armed movement strike
directly and avowedly at the sovereign
ity and existence of . oar Constitutiona
Government. The latter by equally direr

Let us afford to President Lincoln the noot
indubitable e-vidence that. in the obs• ry

thing, we will uphold and support him,
just as readily as we have already show: :

open and armed defiance to the execution
of the laws and to the sovereignty of the
Government. As Democrats, and a; there
fore I t o a l men, we can know no other
principle of political action but to uphold
the Government and obey the laws, an d
that the best evidence of our tirm purpose
to do so is that, it., a part of the people.
we will demand the maintenan c e of the
Constitution in all its parts and the pi-es•
ervation of the L'uion in its pt-rfect integ
rity, and that we will hold all men. North
as well as South, who assail our Constitu
tion, in whole o r in part, as disloyal men,
and the enemies of the Union of these
States. President Lincoln, in his inaugu
ral address, quoting the entire provision
in the Constitution of the United States
relative to the return of fugitives from la
bor front any State, truly said that he
found that provision "as plainly written in
the Constitutionas any other;" and in the
slime address he justly declared, "I have
no purpose directly or indirectly to inter
fere with the institution of slavery in the
States where it exists. I believe I have
no lawlid right to do so, and .1 have no in
clination to do so." Yet the abolitionists
of the North are to-day bringing to bear
upon President Lincoln a fearful pressure
to induce him to exert all the power which
his official position in present circumstan
ces affords, to•act counter to this plain
provision in the Constitution' and to his
jown pledge to the American people. This
pressure has been so great that the Presi
dent, in his high position, was induced to
appeal to the Union-loving Congressmen
from the Border Slave States for relief.
Let the whole loyal people of the State of
Pennsylvania come forward in mass meet
ings, and with one patriotic. and deter
mined voice give assurance to President
Lined% of that relict' which he seeks. Let
1 us assure him that the only relief he can
ever obtain is from the loyal masses, num
bering at least 300,000 men in Pennsylva
nia alone, who are firmly resolved that, as
they are the source of all power, and art
the supreme power in the laud, they in
tend to "preserve, protect and defend the
Constitution of the United States,"
against all its foes, whether Abolitionists'
or Secessionists.
Come, fellow countrymen, as you value
the great principl es of the Constitution— j
as you love the Union of these States—as
you would avert despotism or autarchy— its
it is your right to defend the Constitution
against all its foes, and as you have the
power to do so, devote the 17th of Septem
ber next to such demonstrations of the
popular heart as will give moral sup-
port to all the friends of the country and
serve to guide the policy of the officers ofl
the government in opposition to deadly
and fatal counsels—l need trot add the
counsels which the abolitionists seek to
give. Next to the preservation of oar
constitutional rights, we should strive to
secure the most thorough observance of!
order, and the personal rights of ev
ery person. Our enemies seek to impute
to us a willingness to produce a collision
lof forces. If, by this, is meant merely a
determination to have our rights under
the Constitution, at whatever sacrifice, let
us assure them that while we feel t o surren
der these rights woult! degrade our man
hood, and, therefore, no such surrender
ever will be made, yet as good citizens we
will yield everything but our honor and
these 'rights to avert such collision. We
will appeal to, we have the right, to ex
pect, and I trust and hope, yea, be
iieve, we shall have the help of the odi-
cers of the Government to :lid us in
protectin g our rights and averting :mei'
collision. Let us show these, enetnii,
that we well understand the baseness of
the hearts that, determined upon mon
strous wrong, would persist in such wrong
and impute direful catastrophes which
they may thus occasion to the friends of
the Constitution— o f the laws, and there
fore of the preservation of perfect order.
Standing up as we do only to resist ag•
gression upon our rights, upon the herids
of the aggressors must be the responsibility
of any consequences of evil. But which
may you, my countrymen, and the officers
of the I 4 overnment co-operating, guided
by kind I leaven, avert.

turned to camp yesterday.
Front the best dates obtainable it is
thought that Jackson's rear line is about
four miles back of the Rapidan, while his
main point of defence is at tlordonsville.
It is also reported that a large force of
the enemy now occupy the line of the Cen
tral Railroad front Louisa to Charlottes
ville. From this it would appear they
have formed a new line of defence, and
intend to light a decisive battle at Or near
tittrdonsville.

11 EADQITARTERS OF THE ARMY OF VIR
GINIA, Cedar Mountain, Va., August 15.
Gen. Banks is recovering and received the
command to-day. Jackson's army is up
on Thoroughfare Mountain, southwest
from Gordonsville. Gen. Pope has issued
an order to the effect that General Order
No. 5, requiring the troops to be subsisted
on the enemy is misconstrued by many
officers and soldiers. It is to be distinctly
understood that no officer or soldier has
the right to enter the house, molest or
disturb the property of any citizen when
ever it is necessary or convenient: }Dr ag s
and such articles as are required will tie
used, but every seizure must be by order
of the commanding officer of the troops
there present and by the officers of the de
partment through which the issues are
made. Any officer or soldier who enters
a house or molests the property of any
citizen will be punished. In nearly every
house between Cheat Mountain and the
RapiJan, wounded rebels have been,
found. Contrabands report that Jackson
is driving all the colored people before
him and they are ordered to be shot in at
tempting to escape. The country near
orange has been stripped of food and
forage. and the planters begin to face star-
v:ttitM. bat say they will endure it rather
than take the oath. Scouting parties from
C ,-, rdonsville say that Jackson's entire
unity has reached there. Deserters say
:hat more than .1,000 conscripts have left
Jackson and are straggling in the woods.
Reports from the South side of the Rapidan
to night state that the rebels are again ap
reariag there in force. The body of
Lieut. Col. Stone, of the sth Connecticut,
has not been tbund, and is possible that he
is only wounded and prisoner.
NEw Vous, August .1.6.--The steamer
Saxon has arrived from New Orleans
with dates to the rith inst.
The steamers Roanoke. Blackoline and
Creole from this port had arrived out.
Gen. Butler had issued an order setting
fln-th that need of relief to the destitute,
requiring more extended measures and far
greater outlay than has yet been made,
and that as a question of justice the bur
den should fall on those that brought this
great calamity upon their fellow citizens,
viz: those individuals and corporations
who have aided the rebellion with their
means, and those who have endeavored to
destroy the commercial prosperity of the
city, a subscription of 51,250,000 was
made by corporate bodies, business firms
and persons whose names are given,to de
fend the city agninst the government of
the United States, while the brokers
names, also given. issued a manifesto in
t tetober advising the planters not to bring
their produce to the city: these parties are
all addressed by Gen. Butler's order, for
the purpose above named, to the amount
of $3.10,000 of which over t. 3 3,12,000 is on
subscribers to the $1,250,000 loa n .
An intercepted letter has been obtained,
stating that a Doctor 31-- was organiz
ing a secret Confederate army in New
Orleans, and that he has three thousanc'
men enrolled.

Cila.r:Vl-Elt, August 17.—Maj. Fifield,
the officer having charge of the railway
affairs at this post, yesterday went with a
construction train to Rapidan station, but
it being announced to hum that a consid
erable force of the - enemy - -were within
gunshot of the river on the other side, it
was deemed injurious to commence oper
ations upon the bridge until our forces
under Pope, who were then on,the march,
should reach the river, to cover our:work
men. Major Fifield was notified that a
short distance from the road was stored a
large quantity of flour. Be with sufficient
force proceeded thither and secured over
one hundred bags of flour marked Confed
erate States, probably amounting to
twelve thousand pounds.
Gen. Banks is fast recovering fcom in
juries received yesterday and was able to
walk about with the aid of a cane.

Rapidan, reports the enemy to have made,
this morning, an advance or feint to cross
the river, but he drove them back. All
quiet at latest advices.
WAsitiscrox, August 17.—The publica
:ion of remarks accompanying the corres
pondence of General Buckingham and
Major Vincent of the War Department,
relating to the Rucktail Brigade now being
raised in Pennsylvania and nearly com
pleted, does injustice, it is believed, to a
gallant officer, as the following note from
Col. Palston indicates, and from which it
will be seen that all conflict respecting the
authority for the brigade is effectually set
at rest.
Il Em.„, dltTEtuu PENN:A VOLUNTEERS,
Washington, D. C., Aug. 16, '62.
MAJOR Roy SroxE—Major :—There is
no occasion for doubt or misunderstand
ing in relation to the Itucktail Brigake.—
The authority from the Secretary of War
to raise an independent command was not
solicited, mot such authority has not tomy
knowledge been claimed. The Secretary
gave assurance that the Buektail regiments
if raised by the authority of the Governor
would be accepted and kept together as
one brigade. This assurance was based
upon the request of Adjutant General
Russel, made through me. There is
nothing stated or implied in Gen. Buck
ingham's note to conflict with either the
assurance of the Secretary of War, or au
thority given yon by the Governor. There
can be no difficulty or misunderstanding
about the matter, especially as you have
also the authority of the Superintendent
of Recruiting Service in Penn's, to who
you were ordered by General McClellan to
repori. Respectfully yours,
Signed, J. 11. PULSTON,
Military Agent of Penn'a.
The Commissioner of Internal Revenue
