DEMOCRATIC MEETING.
The Democrats of the city hold a meet
ingthis evening in front of the &. Charles
hotel, to which they invite their fellow
citisens, without distinction of former par
ty associations. The meeting will be ad
dressed by several distinguished strangers,
as well as by some of oar own popular
speakers. Let every man who is perplex
ed and uncertain, in reflecting upon the
present distracted condition of the coun
try, attend this meeting, and weigh and
ponder upon the declarations and sugges

TEE CONSTITUTION OUR
GUIDE.
It is too manifest for any reasonable
doubt that the-failure of the Republicans
in the conduct of this war is because the
acts and words of their majority in Con
gress show that they do not take the Con
stitution for their guide, but are working
openly to violate it. They have fallen out
with their President becarise he is not wil
ling to follow - them--ia ibis.- They have
given the lead to the Abolition faction of
their party, and it has lilneys declared
that the Constitution ia..)rot it to be ob
served ; and many of *Kew' honest of
these &natio refuse all Are under it.
How then can such a pasty conduct the
government? It cannot retain the confi
dence of the people because of ha want of
faith in the Constitution; arid; fps want of
this, it cannot have any standard of politi
cal right to which it can appeal. Dis
carding this standard, every man in the
party who is not willing to follow . the lead
of a Sumner or a Chandler, may have his
emir standard, different from that of any
other. If he follow a teacher, then that
teacher becomes his constitution. Let
them unite on such a teacher and then his
will bewares their constitution.
But why should sensible men allow the
excitements of partizan strife to lead them
to be offended at the Constitution because
it tolerates slavery wherever each State
allows it? If this be the malting "a con
venant with hell," as Abolitionists have
said, then the treaty of Westphalia, that
secured the peace of Europe after thirty
years of war, by securing toleration to
both Catholics and Protestants ; and the
edict of Nantr, that secured the liberty
of Catholics in France, and the union of
England and Scotland, by which each par
ty vras bound to the protect Presbyterianism
and the Episcopacy of the other, and all
treaties by which any nation is to be pro
tected against being interfered with by
other nations ; and even the contract of
marriage, where either party is a sinner,
all are " cevenants with hell," in the' ,
opinion of religious or political bigotry,
if thereby any conduct or institution which
such bigotry regards as wrong, receives
any sort of protection or support. When
we come to learn that we have no respon
sibility, when we have no, moral authority
to act, we shall get over such bigotry. If
we may never associate except with those
persons or states which are perfect, we
shall never associate at all ; for we neither
find perfection anywhere, nor know wits,'
it is. It is not reason or religion that
ever misleads us into this narrow bigotry ;
but only partizan and sectarian excite
ment.
All the legitimate action of the federal
government is clearly written in the Con
stitution, and if we carefully and candidly,
and with an unpartisan spirit, study that,
we can find no difficulty in securing a pro
per degree of harmony in our civil action
relative to this war. For our military ac
tion, we will take, without hesitation, the
ruin, of civil warfare, and there will se
cure unity and harmony in that direction.
But Abolitionism cannot submit itself
to these plain rules of common sense, and
hence it can never secure unity enough to
carry on the government Like every
other form of fanaticism, it is essentially
selfish in its opinions, and arrogant and
disrespectful towards the common opin
ions and the institutions of society. In
its fundamental principles, it is essentially
the same as the radical and aggreasive in
fidelity of the French Revolution—censo
rions and destructive of_exiating institu
tions, and totally incapable of supplying
the wants which their destruction may
sense. Like the French Revolutionists,
• they may produce an excitement that may
furnish them with a majority for abolition,
like them, they must entirely fail in
furnishing any practicabis . system of...gov
gramma-tor the new circumstances into
which they bring us. They have ability
for destruction, but none for construction
Thousands of otitfellow citizens, who.
in their partisan excitements, suffered
themselves to be misled by the confident
and arrogant tone of Abolition leaders,
now feel that, for want of respect in their
leaders for the constitution, and for conse
quent want of unity of purpose in conduct
ing the government, and for want of any
common standsrd of political action..the
Republican suoceseltagreat.politinellail
are, and the-national government is likely
to become, until the next presidential
election, a mere shuttlecock of the eon
fisting Abolition and Republicattieadere,

FIFTH PENNSYLVANIA CAV-
Our readers remember of having read a
few day? since of the capture of this regi
ment of cavalry at Williamsburg. A cor
respondent of the Philadelphiirfuquirer
gives the following particulars in relation
to it:
WILLWI9/11726, VA., Sept. 15, 1802.
The policy at present . pursued by the
rebels of paroling the prisoners they take
hold* out a strong inducement to our offi
cers to give themselves up as prisoners of
war at the first opportunity., This was
clearly demonstrated on the 9th instant,
at the time an attack was made on the
Fifth Pennsylvania Cavalry at this place.
If a previous arrangement was not made,
it seemed very singular how it could have
happened in the manner it did: . Our pick
ets, which were at least four miles distant,
were driven in, or taken, at three o'clock
in the morning. This was known to cer
tain of our officers; yetthe camp was al
lowed to be taken by surprise, after six
o'clock, without allowing the men the
least chance for preparation. Then came
a confirsed battle, *ith conflicting orders.
One officer, it is well known, ordered a re
treat, for which he is now under arrest.
" Some were inclined to fight, and did
so to the number of perhaps one squad
ron ; but the majority of the officers who
were taken gave themselves up without
any resistance; on the contrary, they had
every 2bauce either to make a stand or get
'away,' If necessary. This can he proven
by any number of witnesses. Some of the
officers who at first ran afterward threw
down their arms, rode back and gave
themselves up, swearing that they would
go with the others to see Richmond. It •
would not be so bad if these same officers
had not been heard to swear at the men,
calling them cowards, when the appella
tion applied more properly to themselves.
This will be better understood when it is
known that atter driving our men for some
distance, while the confusion lasted, they
Were afterwards: handsomely repulsed by
the bravery of ress than one company. I
hope, in justice to the men of the regi
ment, that this will be inserted, that the
blame may rest where it properly belongs,
and also that other investigations may be
made,_ which, I am persuaded, will show
something rotten in Denmark."
• From all we can learn of this affair at
Williamsburg, some of the officers and
men acted most shamefully. One who
belonls to the regiment, and who deplores
the issue of the conflict, writes to a friend
here that Col. David Campbell, of our
city, acted with the greatest coolness and
intrepidity. "Hs was captured," says
this correspondent, With his face to the
foe, vainly endeavoring to recover a retro
gade movement of a portion of his com
mand. In doing this he received several
bullets in hie clothing, but fortunately es
caped unhurt."
• "The fight," continues the letter, "last
ed three hours, and was conducted with
spirit on both sides, until some of our pol
troon officers gave way. The enemy had
the Holcomb Legion, of South Carolina,
three companies of Virginia, two of North
Carolina and one of Georgia cavalry, while
our side had but four hundred cavalry in
all; so that it will be seen the rebels had
sufficient torce to secure them victory,
even had our forces displayed the greatest
gallantry. The result of the engagement
was about fifty in killed and woundei; but
had all our officers and men acted with the
same courage that characterized a part,
we would now he able to report one of
the most signal cavalry victories of the
campaign. As it is, we mut, put up With
what it was out of the power of a few gal-
lant officers and men to prevent...
HIS LAST LETTER
Capt. Brady, of Brookville, in this
State, was taken prisoner in one of Pope's
disastrous engagements. and sent on to
Richmond ; in a few days he was ex
changed, when he again joined his com
pany and was killed in one of the bloody
engagements of last week.
The Brookville Jeffer. , aln hut. of last
week. contains a letter from the late Cap
tain to his' mother, from which we take the
following extract :
see that they keep up the nef;ro
question at the North, and talk of Itn•iti
iug the rebellion by freeing the slaves.
There is one thing to talk and anolher to
act. How are they going to free the
slaves before the army reaches them?
Wherever the army has gone the negroes
have ran away ; but we cannot reach the
slaves in the far South. McClellan tried
to make them work at Harrison's Land
, ing, but they complained bitterly that
they had to work in the heat of the day,
and say that the Yankees are harder
masters than the ones they left. - Besides
the course of our government in agitating
sent of confiscation and emancipation only
gives something to nerve the enemy to fight
against us. While our men are march
ed from place to place, without even being
told where they are going—fighting with- out any knowledge of what they are fight
ing for—at times bare-foot and half
starved—the enemy are fighting for their
homes and their families—they say that
we wish to take their property and hang
their leading men, and they fight desper
ately. If our men could be encouraged
and stimulated to action like the Southern
men, the armies of the world would not
defeat us; but our men are discouraged—
they begin to ask themselves what they are
fighting for, and can find no solution, ex
cept from some Northern paper, that the
object is to free the negro. The army is
opposed to this and would like to see the
negro qnestion stopped, and unless it is
speedily done, we must console ourselves
with the thought that the country has
been ruined and made bankrupt through
the imbecility of our people.
While in Washington a few days ago, I
heard it remarked that the Union was di--
Solved, and that the contest now was only
a question of boundary. If such is the
case, the sooner we end it, the further our
line will extend South. When I left home
I thought my services were needed in re
storing the Union and putting down a re
bellibn amongst a few political aspi
rants; but I hare given up all hope of a
restoration, and now look forward to a
cessation of hostilities and a compromise,
by an acknowledgment of the Southern
Confederacy. I am sorry to admit this,
yet I cannot see how it can be otherwise,
so long as our people are determined to
keep up the negro agitation. We have
been led to believe that there was a strong
Union feeling in the South: bnt my expo.
rience both in the army anti while in Rich
mond has been otherwise. You may rely
alit the Southern men are united and
determined—they set in concert and have
every equipment necessary for an army.
They receive goods of all kinds from the
North, and our Northern papers are re
ceived in Richmond regularly.
Our army is sadly demoralized7-dis
cipline has been overlooked, and our Gen
erals seem to be jealous of each other,
lest some one may gain more honor than
the rest.
Give my love to all the friends. I will
do my duty while I stay, and if it is the
will of God that I should lose my life, I
am resigned. I do not fear death, yet I
am content to live a while longer to enjoy
Um society of my family. I will write as
somas possible. Do not grieve or feel
anxious for me; if any accident befalls me,
you will hear of it soon enough. I still
believe I am tole spared to come home,
when Icon then tell you of a soldier's life
as it is. Farewell.
.May God bless yon.
•E. R. BRADY.

We publish elsewnere a statement from
the Washington kW-, which mentions the
surrender of Harper's Ferry by the Fed•
eral forces under Acting Brigadier Gee
oral Dixon II Miles. It is further stated
that General Miles was mortally wounded.
We regret to add to this announcement
that a gentleman who reached this city
last niget from Frederick brings the intel
ligence of Gen. Miles' death, the result- of
an unfortunate accident. It appears that
the command of Gen. Miles surrendered
at nine o'clock on Monday morning, and
that about an hour afterwards a shell ac
cidentally exploded. A part of the shell
first struck the lower portion of General
Miles left leg, which was badly fractured.
It then glanced, and striking the upper .
part of the right leg, also shattered it se
i verely, rendering the General immediate
ly insensible. It was, unfortunately, a
101:1E time before reaction ensued, so that
it- was late in the evening before amputa
tion, rendered absolutely necessary, could
be resorted to. During a late hour in the
evening, however, both legs were amputa
ted, but the General died from the effects
yesterday morning. The intelligence of
his decease will be received in this city!
(where his family have resided for many
years) with profound regret. lie was a
ev
brave and gallant flicer, and a generous
e, "
and warm-h ` 4 liiiend. His remains,
it is expect achs this city this
morning.

Economising.
To promote economy in public affairs,
the Secretary ofthe Treasury has oriered
that no more than half a sheet of paper
shall be need for letters of the Depart
ment when an entire shiest is not required.
Blank circulars, of 'most of, the De
partments are upon sheets only onsitalf
of which are covered by writing or print
ing. The postal returns of mails received
and sent contain, 4 a year, tons of white
paper that are not raid!, used, and are
therefore so much wasted and lost. The
old style of blanks are used, which contain
the columns for unpaid letters."
I have just cut tee above from one of
the Administration organs; and it. atroslc
me it has become_ knoini to the public in
a most seasonable hour to form a text for
the honorable representatives Covode and
Moorhead tg hold forth upon to the dear
people, and convince them of the desire
on the part of the Administration to econ
omise! Just think what effect this state•
ment will have in "my next speech;" and
if the worthy head of the Treasury Depart
ment had only extended his order, and
required his clerks to cease crossing their
t's and dotting their i's, what an enormous
effect it would have had? Why, lam at
a loss to calculate the amount that would
thus be saved to the Government annually
—tons of paper and hogaheads of ink,
sufficient to have blotted out all the
contracts made by or with members of
Congress and their friends for shoddy uni
forms, worthless guns, straw hats and Lon
don porter since the war commenced. It
was a great oversight in the honorable
Secretary; but perhaps he thought it would
not do to be too severely patnotic all at
once, and we must not "despise the day
of small things." But don't you think,
Mr. Editor, this is rather a small tub to
threw at so large a whale as the American
people? ANON.

notice, that they have lately fatted a new stria of
Watch, expressly designed for Soldiers and others
who desire a good watch at a moderate price.—
These watches are intended to displace the worth
less, cheap watches of British and Swine manufac
ture, with which the country is tleoded, and which
were never expected to keep time when they were
made, being refuse. mmittfectures, sent to this
country, because immleable at home, and need
hereonly foriockeying and riati:iittlinti purposes.
We offer to Bell our Watch, which is of TILE
MOST SUBS CANT IA L MA NUFACTURE. AN
ACCURATE AND DUP.A ISLE TIME SIEMER.
and in Sterling Silver Cases, Hotting pattern.
at as low a price axis asked for the trashy Ammo
and Le pines of foreign make, already referred to.
We have named the new series of Watches, WM.
ELLERY, Boston, Masa. which name will he
found on the plate of every watch of this manu
facture, and is Lae of our trace marks.
