VIE REPUBLICAN ADDRESS.
Tim Republicans of Allegheny county,
taking their cue from the late State Con
vention, evidently intend to carry the
coming election, if they can, by the boldest
and most transparent falsehood. Their
game is blustering devotion to the Union,
and an invitation to our citizens to vote
their State and County tickets forgetting
all past political differences. This is the
very extacy of partizan duplicity. The
State Convention of the mongrel set, now
passing under various names in different
divisions- of the Commonwealth, mani
fested its desire to forget past political dif-
Soreness by the unanimous endorsement
of David Wilmot's course in Courress.
Did this look like forgetting party, or was
it not an exhibition
,of partisan fidelity
never before seen in Pennsylvania? David
Wilmot, an Abolitionist of the revolu
tionary school, who voted- for every oat
rageous proposition of the last Congrees,
looking to the simple. destruction of
slavery regardless of its effect upon the
restoration of the Union, as unqualifiedly
endorsed by a gathering of political ad
veaturers who, with unbeerd of audacity,
invite the conservative people to sustain
their action! Could partisan - duplicity
go fartherthan this? And Senator Cowan,
whose course proved him to be for the
maintenance of the Constitution and the
Union, these no-party demagogues passed
by in silence, simply because he did not
prostitute his fine talents and his convic
tions of constitutional duty to his State
and County, to advance the destructive
teachings of Abolitionism. Yet, such a
a State Convention had the presumption
to call upon . the people of the State, re
gardless of former political convtctions,
to endorse and support such transparent
deception.
The Republican committee of this coun
ty, following the deceitful course of their
State assemblage, makes, among others,
the following impudent announcement :
"In this crisis it becomes the duty ofAll
those mho value our Republican instM
tionsi and are willing to forego party as
sociations for their protection and perpet
uation, to join hands and hearts together
fbr that holy purpose."
Let the reader reflect a moment upon
this piece of naked assurance; "forego
party associations" by electing notorious
and shameless Abolition agitators to fill
all oar offices t Surely these presumptu
ous fanatics must think the people dement
ed or they wouldn't dare to extend to them
such an insulting invitation. Last year
the Democracy of this county did "forego
party associations" by supporting a ticket
composed of men of all sorts of political
opinion, but how was the movement treat
ed by these same shallow trickiters ? Why
denounced from the start and styled a
trick to defeat their Abolition candidates.
Now they nominate a partisan ticket, the
most offensive ever presented by any party
and coolly invite us to support it? Could
partisan impudence and effrontery go
farther than this ? Their State Conven
tion unanimously endorsed Wilmot's Abo
lition course in the United States Senate,
and their county meeting endorse Moor
bead's in the House, and still we are invi
ted to support these two renegades and
demagogues upon the grounds of their
belonging -to no party. Did these two poli
ticians givb any votes last winter that were
not pittisad in the most offensive sense.
The former supportedby speech and votes
everything that Sunnier and Lovejoy pro
posed, while the other's time was divided
between voting as Wilmot did cad boring
the departments for contracts. And as
long as contracts are to be given and the
government able to pay for them, just so
long wilt he and his set of no-party patri
ots be found supporting every scheme cal
culated to prolong and intensify hostilities.
Mere is a great deal to be made yet out
of this war by cunning contractors who
occupy seats in Congress. The investiga
tions, last winter, showed that the follow
ers of Cameron. had lined their sleeves,
and "the Congressional experience gain
ed" in some quarters, will enable the
same set, if re-elected, to shape legisla
tion so as to prolong hostilities and render
additional contracts indispensable. Let
the people read the reports alluded to,
and they will percieve the reasons why
some forty members of the last Congress
are anxious to be re-elected to the next.
As Gen. Moorhead the other day remark
ed, his nomination was not because of
his oratorical ability," nor for his "liter
ary acquirements ;" he cares nothing for
such- vanities any more • than Dogberry
did; he is for the subatantials acquired by
ingenious legislation and leaves oratory
and literature to be practiced and studied
by leas utilitarian members.
NORTHERN INDEPENDENCE.
We direct the reader's attention to an
article with the above caption from the
New York 75-ibune, which will be found in
another column. The great point of the
Tribune's argument is that the rebellion
must be put down, or it will put us down;
or that there can be no two governments
reared upon the ruins of this one. This
is strange enough, coming from a quarter
Which, up until a short time ago, almost
daily flared up the cost of the Union,
s h ow i ng that it was too expensive to be
bolas the Northern States. Now it is
finale Union el ell *aide . , bat with the
reserration sienery's destruction, even
'Weld it require half a lA:Army to *mom-
FILM it.
mar Rumora were prevalent on Satur
day and Sunday, that the Governor had
countermanded the order to forward troops
to Harrisburg. This is not the cue and
the exigency exists for troops at the pres
ent
' moment. Whenever such informa
thin is received, Mr. Howe, who has
charge of all that relates to the military
movemeLts in the Western part of the
State, will promptly inform the public.
A WET BLANKET.
In the face of a dispatch printed on
Saturday afternoon, to hasten forward
men to Harrisburg in putsuauce of the
Governor's order, the Evening Gazette
advised the public in a double leaded edi
torial to stay at home, .that there was no
occasion . for any more troops East. Many
surrounding counties were just beginning
to move and some were in motion and had
just completed their arrangements through
the assistant Adjutant General, Thomas
M. Howe, whose earnest labors are thus
balked by this ill-timed suggestion of the
Gazette. One glorious effect of thus as
sembling fifty thousand men with arms and
ammunition, would certainly have been
to convince ourselves if not the enemy,
that neither our men nor resources are
exhausted. Why shall wet blankets be
thrown over a positive order from the
highest authority in the State? It looks
as if there was a purpose to accomplish,
an intention to ridicule the Governor and
reduce the efficiency of his Assistant Ad
jutant General here.
By a special dispatch, posted on the
bulletion board at the Gazette office yes
terday, it would seem that one of the edi
tors of that sheet, who went to Harrisburg
on Saturday night, has changed his opinion
and now thinks that more men are requir
ed from Allegheny. We cannot suppose
that this change was dictated by any fears
for his own personal safety.
808 CONGRESS
Gen. W. H. Miller, of Harrisburg, has
been nominated unanimously for Congress
for the Eleventh District, composed of
Dauphin, Lebanon, Snyder and Union.
Mr. Miller will undoubtedly be elected as
he is one of the most popular men in that
region of the State. Although young in
years he would make his mark in the coun
cils of the nation, as a man of sound judg
ment and well poised intellect. We wish
him the success he deserves.
JOSEPH R. HUNTER, Esq
The Democratic County Committee of
Correspondence, at a meeting on Satur
day last, placed Joseph R. Hunter, Esq.,
on the legislative ticket, in place of Mr.
Heineman, who had declined. Mr. Hunter
was.an ardent leading Douglas man, and
is well known to our citizen's. He is a
gentleman of the highest respectability
and will assuredly strengthen the ticket.
We have now a complete ticket in the
(geld, which may fairly challenge the at
tention of our dissenting brethren. We
have scarcely a doubt but that it will be
elected and thus enable us to make anoth
er forward step in the cause of truth.
CORCORAN REGIMENT
We are glad to learn that Captain TAO,
Coyle has succeeded in nearly filling his
company. Mr. Coyle is an experienced
soldier. a responsible and cat eful man and
eminently fitted for the position of Cap
tain. Those wishing to go under a good
officer should select this organization at
once and be oil to the wars.
liEir Pennsylvania has not bent' invaded,
nor will a rebel's foot touch her soil if the
armed militia now in motion concentrate
along the border. Pittsburgh is not in
the slightest danger; and if it ever is, the
East will respond in twenty-four hours
to our call. Go, then, to the East, in obe•
dience to the call of your Commander-in-
Chief. •
SOUTHERN NEWS
Important from the Potomac
Lane.
The Potato where the Rebels Creased
into Marylaud.
[From the Richmond Dispatch. Sent. N.l
We also have information that on
Thursday morning two divisions of our
army—one under Jackson and the other
under Longatreot—left Dranesville at 8
o'clock and took up the line of march for
the Potomac, one crossing the river at
Edward's Ferry to Poolesville, in Mary
land, and the other at White's Ferry, a
short distance lower down. Nothing had
been heard since this important move
ment had been made, though our inform
ant (an officer of the army, direct from
Manassas.) says the general opinion
that the Yankee capital is ere this com
pletely invested from the Maryland side,
its railroad communication cut off, and
but one mode of escape open to the be
sieged, and that down the Potomac.
Rebel Noweaseato.
[From the Richmond Inquirer, Sept. 8,1
Yesterday being Sunday, the usual
variety of rumors were afloat. Those
which gained most credence were the fol.
lowing: That Generals Jackson and
Longstreet had crossed the Potomac at
Edward's Ferry, and were at the Relay
House on Friday morning last. There
may be some truth in this rumor, as the
account published in another column,
from a I. ankee journal, shows that the
greatest panic prevailed in the Yankee
capital ; and old Abraham doubtless has
his Scotch cap at hand, ready to make his
exit.
If Generals Jackson and Lougstreet
have really reached the Relay House, all
communication between Washington and
Baltimore and the West is thereby entire
ly cat off.
The reported blowing up of the Long
Bridge is now generally believed. A lady
who came through to this city from near
Washington, states that she was an eya
witness to the affair.
The enemy, before evacuating Aquia
creek, destroyed a large amount of stores
and provisions.
Later intelligence gives us the gTati6 , -
ing assurances that Gen. Jackson has en
tered Maryland by the route above indica
ted, and is now on a tour to the most im
portant and inviting points between Balti
more and Washington. It is now useless
to speculate upon probabilities. The war
has assumed a new phase, and our citi
zens must expect hereafter to hear news
that will startle amidst both good and bad
report. The tables have been turned, and
the Confederate army is now an army of
invasion.
Thoroughfare Gap.
From the Richmond Enquirer. Sept. eth.
The passage of the Thoroughfare Gap
by General Longstreet, in the face of a
force of two thousand of the enemy, is one
of the most remarkable incidents of the
late operations in Northern Virginia. The
defile is a very difficult one—being densely
wooded, very narrow, and flanked by high
and precipitous mountains. The enemy
had posse s sed this, planted his batteries,
and sleeted his sharpshooters and infant.

Tv'e must conquer this i 3 ellion or it
will conquer us. This is a feet of which
we are reminded—and there is needl that,
we should be—by the bouts of
.ftiOvest
Secessionists in Canada: who, itif ?eI:Z
-ed, "openly declare diet dm Union l

beaten it shall be subjected en'tWeitle of
Jefferson Davis, who will be next Presi
dent of the United Staten," "There is
nothing sacred," said Napoleon "a ft er: a
conqnest." The theory of this war is
plain enough. The Northernpeople well
nderstand that they are contending, for
the Constitution and the Laws ; but it may
be questioned if more than a small minor
ity of thinkers have permitted themselves
to look—for they cannot do so without
shuddering—into that seething hell of an
archy and confusion and ceaseless appre
hension which would be our fate in the
event of a Confederate triumph. Large
as this continent is, it may be safely as
sumed that it is not large enough for two
distinct nationalities, with natural limits
ill-defined, with military ambition upon
one side of the line and with a tantalizing
opulence upon the other, and with remi
niscences of success taunting continually a
stern, sad memory of defeat ; whiles com
mon language, instead of promoting
peaceful alliances, would become merely
a more convenient medium of debate and
defiance. If we never knew it before, we
know now that Slavery is aggressive. It
is unnecessary to say that it is more so
than any other marketland distinct form
of social life would be. It is only neces
sary to understand that being of en abso
lutely peculiar character and at war with
the general moral conclusions of the age,
Slavery, as it now exists in the American
States, is in that position of desperate and
dogged defiance in which it will dare all
things in self- defence. For reasons which
we need not recapitulate, a component
part of that defence must be its extension.
It can no more exist within confined lim
its than a rat can live under an exhausted
receiver. It is clear, therefore, that in
the event of a military triumph f the sys
tem, the spirit of territorial aggrandize
ment which has heretofore sought for new
man-markets upon the frontier of the
Southwest would begin to exert itself in a
Northern direction. Of the inability of the
Slave Power to conquer such States as Il
linois, Ohio or Indiana, we might be tol
erably certain so long as a Northern Union
should remain ; but the grave and alarm
ing question is, how long, after the estab
lishment of a Southern Confederacy,
the Northern Union would continue
to exist. Itself a fragment, into
how many smaller fragments might
it not, even within a quarter of a cen
tury, be precipitated ? Disunion is a bad
example and might prove contagious;
while the slave States,
United le a bad
brotherhood, and by the ties of a com
mon iniquity, might not find it difficult to
cope with and subjugate individual States,
themselves exposed to the assaults et
' each other, and weakened by intestine
disorder. That it is no part of slave hold
lug chivalry to spare a State, either bt.-
cause it is weak or inoffensive let the late
of Mexico attest! But inoffensive, the
Northern States, even with the best Mimi•
tious, could not possibly be. The recog
nition of the Confederacy, however, abso-
Inte and complete, would not, for a day,
silence the Anti-Slavery discussions of tile
North. ft is certain that they will never
cease until slavery is abolished. Nu laws
however rigid; no considerations of inter
national comity would he sufficient to re
strain the voices of men who as much
believe that slavery is horrible in God's
sight, as they believe that there is a (iod
at all. This, of itself, would be auflicient
to keep up a perpetual irritation at the
South, and to afford a continual pretext
for an aggressive war. But the question
, .1 . Fugitive Slaves end of their rendition
would he a crowning difficulty, and one
which, it seems to us, would be absolutely
incapable of a peaceful solution. If we
know anythingol the temper of the North
ern people we can hardly believe that
they will be ready to do that of their free
will which they have been so unwilling to
do upon compulsion. Treaties might be
made, but treaties would perpetually
broken. Laws, founded upon such court
pacts, might be passed, but who would
obey, and who would enforce them?—
Meanwhile, the Government of the North
would be constantly involved in difficul
ties, the people would be pretty sure to
keep out of Ace. "Northern men with
Southern principles." Vtrer must inevit
ably follow. Peace by infinite nursing and
coddling, would be only the exception;
and War—beggaring, blasting and weary
War—would be the rule. Into the prob
able history of this people so agitated and
assaulted, it would not Le pleasant too
closely to inquire. If the Slave States,
stimulated only by imaginary injuries,
have shown themselves ready to shoot
from a condition of ill-temper into that of
sanguinary hostilities, what will be the
popular feeling of the North when it is
found that all these lives have been given
in vain and that all our treasure has been
expended only with the prodigality of the
fool?
If the question, then, of Union was an
open one before, it is so no longer: We
can not afford to concede—we cannot
afford to behonquered. There is a deadly
feud between Freedom and Slavery and one
or the other must fall. The issue is but a
matter of time. Freedom in the end must
conquer. But over what dreary years o
sufthring and struggle, ofparslyzed indus-
ry and social commotion, of private
agony and of public bankru ptcy, must
that struggle, if we now temporize, extend!
If there tun this great metropolis ? any man
who in his devotion to the pursuit of gold,
thinks that we should give up all. and re
tire front this contest, we bid him look well
to his money bags, when the arogant and
hot-headed Confederacy shall have
triumphed and commenced its political
career. If there be here any man who
wearies of the noise and confusion of this
conflict, we bid him beware of lending his
influence to the adoption of any measure
which may merely postpone the final ad
justment of this quarrel, and leave us
meanwhile, certainly for more than one
generation, the sport of political chances.
If there be any philanthropist who shrinks,
as well he may, from the butchery of bat
tle, we warn him that the longest war how
ever bloody, is better for humanity than the
smoothest of hollow truces. Do not let
us be deceived! There is no safety for
this republic but in its integrity ; there is
no peace for it but in its indivisibility ;
there is no economy in ending one war
only that we may begin another ;. there is
no happiness for as, there is none for our
children, save in the complete victory of
our Government. Five years of war
would be better—yes, fifty years of war
would be better than a century of imagin
ary peace and continual collisions. The
time to acknowledge the Confederacy, if
at all, was when Anderson pulled down
the flag of Fort Sumter. That time has
gone by forever!

BALTIMORE,Sept.I2. —A gentleman who
left Frederick yesterday afternoon says on
Wednesday afternoon heavy firing was
heard in the direction of Harpen's Ferry.
and on yesterday morning the secessionist: ,
appeared to be very mneh troubled about
the news from that quarter, which was to
the effect that General Loring had crossed
the Potomac at Williamsport and marched
down to Harper's Ferry, where he at
aampted to form, with the view to attack
Gen. Miles' force. Gen. Miles opened his
masked batteries upon the rebels, and they
were repulsed with great slaughter. It is
also reported that we took many prisusers.
HARRISBURG, Sept. 18.—This city is vir
tually under martial law.
Passes from the Mayor are required to
enable any one to leave.
The following is the Mayor's proclama

"In pursuance of the command of his
Excellency, A. G. Curtin, Governor of
this Commonwealth, dated this day, to me
directed, I hereby forbid every able-bodi
ed man from leaving the bounds of this
city, upon the pain of being arrested
and held in charge by the military au
thorities, under the instructions given
to them for that purpose by the Gov
ernor.
"Ail railroad companies and their agents,
located at this city, are also hereby notiti
cd and positively forbidden to carry off, dr
furnish transportation for the purpose of
carrying off, any and all able-bodied men
from this city.
"The Provost Guard detailed for duty

anxious for Ja:kson to come on.
FREDER/OK, Md, Sept. 18.—Frederick
is ours. The firsief •owl/aces entered
the East end of thrtowndriß l iclock yes
terdisy afternoon., Half an hoar later a
'amity force under command of General
Pleasanton enterad the city by way of the
Market street turnpike.
The main body of the rebel for ces evac
uated the city on Thursday. A few caval
ry from the command of Gen. Stewart
and the Hampton Legion, made a charge
upon our troops, when the latter entered,
but the enemy were speedily repulsed.—
Our loss was two killed and six wounded,
while the rebels suffered at least to that
extent.
The reception of our forces was of a
most enthusiastic character, the entire
city was overjoyed and the people turned
out en masse to welcome our tortes. All
along the streets through which our forces
passed flags were waved from the win
dows and the sidewalks were lined with
spectators, including a full representation
of ladies.
Ihe rebel forces are represented to be
about 126,000 strong.
The citizens of Frederick have suffered
much from the rebel incursion, including
the loss of domestic supplies. The enemy
were in a starving and ragged condition,
many of them being without shoes.
Tliey confidently expected that at least
50,900 men would flock to them in Fred
erick county. Jackson was here, together
with Longstreetand Hill. They left Fred
erick with the intention, as reported, 01
going to Pennsylvania, but subsequent
events seem to indicate they will endeavor
to retreat into Virginia, by way of Wil
liamsport.
This morning an engagement is going on
at the foot of the mountains, on the road
to Sandy Hook, between the rebels con
sisting of 2,000 cat'alry and three batteries.
A portion of the enemy went to Hagers
town, while Jackson tookthe left hand
road towards Harper's Ferry. The rebels
left 450 of their sick in Frederick.—
About forty prisoners were taken last
night and this morning, between this city
and the mountains.
HARKIIIMIte, Sept. 14.—Heavy cannon
ading has been distinctly heard at Han

Itit:rtmottE, Sept. 14.—The reported in
formation with regard to the attack on the
Northern Centralia unfounded.
- .
There has been cannonading at Harper's
Ferry all day, but it ceased at 4 o'clock P.
a. We have not yet heard the result.
Burnside passed through Frederick ear
ly Saturday morning, and the whole army
pushed on after the enemy by every road.
l'he people turned out to welcome Burn
side with the wildest enthsiasm—men, wo
men and children, and when McClellan
came the people blocked up the streets so
that it was difficult for him to reach his
headquarters. The scent: is described as
most grand—waiving of flags and bandker-•
chiefs, and even women screamed words of
welcome at the top of their voices.
Tile advance guard entered Frederick
Friday evening, at oyock, and had a
k irmish on the streets with Stewart's cav
alry. Several were killed and wounded
on both sides, and Col. Moore, of the loyal
Virginia cavalry, was captured by the reb
els and curried off, but afterwards rescued.
The rebels did not destroy any of the
turnpike bridges over the Monocacy,'but
left nothing but pieces standing of the
splendid railroad bridge.
A ref el train of one hundred ammuni
tiou and subsistence wagons was captured
by Franklin, and about one hundred and
fifty prisoners bad been sent to Frederick.
ST. Psuf., Sept. 13.—Four persons were
killed by Indians near Mankato, while
threshing wheat, within a mile of a com
pany of troops. The Indians took the
horses from the threshing machine and
left before the troops could reach them.
These bold:exploits will prevent the farm
ers attend ng to their !trope.
Two Chippewa chiefs, of Wisconsin,
tender their services to Governor Ramsey
to fight the Sioux. It is well known that
these two tribes have long been at war
with each other.
BosToN, September 18.—A very large
audience assembled at Fremont Temple
this evening to listen to the address against
England by George Francis Train. Mayor
Wrightmau presided. The address was.
highly relished and elicited frequent out
bursts of applause.
CINCINNATI, Sept. 13.—Governor Tod
has ordered home the militia sent here for
the defense of the border. The Cincin
nati Woks returned to the city this after
noon their services being no longer re
quired
in Kentucky, the force of regular
troops theie being sufficient tor any emer
gency. The streets are thronged with the
people to welcome them home.
The rebels are reported at Walton, twen
ty miles south.
It is reported to-night that Charleston,
Va., was evacuated and burned by our
troops, who are falling back towards the
Ohio.
PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 13.—There was a
great destruction of property here to-day,
caused by heavy rains. A large portion
of the 21st, 17th and 16th wards was over
flowed, damaging property to the &menet,
it is estimated, of a million dollars. ri‘e
persons were drowned. Frankfort was
also partially overflowed.
Lot us Sept. 14.—There was much
excitement in the city this afternoon in
consequence of the news of a battle be
tween our forces and the rebels at ?dun
fordaville.
