F. W. HUGHES. Chairman Democratic &ate Central Com =Wee. • PorrsvlLLE, May 26, 1863. THE HOME LEAGUE EXPERI MEET. A PIOUS DODGE. The crushing disasters which overtook abolitionism last fall, was stunning to the magnates of that organization ; they were petrified with the sudden uprising of the people, emphatically in condemnation of radical teaching. After recovering from their prostration, they consulted together and resolved to change-the name of their party. "Loyal League " was the new cognomen selected. Forney, one of the pioneers of the new organization, an nounced through his paper, that the for mation of the Leagues was the inaugura tion of the " next Presidential election," and referring to that announcement since, he says : • "I stated in a recent letter that the 'campaign for the Presidency in 18E4 had been opened by the Union men.' made that statement deliberately. /repeat it nom. The Union men—in snub organ i- Rations as Union Leagues. or in whatever caps ty they may please to act—have opened the coin Deign, and intend to support the President in 1863, and, if possible, 6. control the election of o President in 1564." It now appears that these utterances of Forney were premature ; but Forney can never keep reticent when his talking will give himself the slightest importance. He is what is vulgarly termed a blather skite, and will talk more in five minutes than he will make good in five years. He likes to hear himself talk, and his princi pal weakness is to be considered the chief of some cunning, even if a desperate and profligate political or partizan experiment. In the case in question, however, his im• prudence, in announcing the object of the Leagues, has put its wisest members to thinking, in order to divest it of all parti zan appearances. In Philadelphia these Leagues, or :atter _augurs nave com menced boring in a new : • - • upon • a clergy, and henceforth, calculate for success, upon equal proportions of patriotism and piety. We were indifferent to the power of these Leagues as long as they taught, merely Abolitionism and loyalty to their opinions, but when, like Richelieu, they invoke the power of the church, we feel like De Moprat, and acknowledge our inability to brave their power. It is true, that the country has, upon several previous occa sions, been humiliated at the sight of ministers of the gospel becoming parti san declaimers, but the ingenuity of the Leagues in Philadelphia has thrown a de gree of gentility around their proceedings, that even ministers, of great piety and self denial, can not resist participating in their festivities. In addition to the luxuries nn der which.the tables of the leagues groan, the only subject allowed to be discussed at_their select gatherings is loyalty, intense loyalty—not scysmuch to the government as to those brilliant and!infallihl e persons who have a two years lease of it. During a hot afternoon, after business is over,these patriots with the potent , and exhilarating effect of choicest brands well icediende iv or to put in a few hours in a highly intel- lectual, patriotic and hilarious inloner.— The persons who gather at these fnatinees, are, we are assured, all gentlemen, which means contractors and office-holders, with a sprinkling of faded gentility, in old fi. nary, tunibbidinto deeay, ands few dilapi dated fellows of the RJbert Macaire stripe, who in their extremity travel upon shape and talent. In the evening's the doors are thrown open to the people, but the private gatherisgs are confined exclusively to the elite of abolitionism. So that while the tormer ventilate their loyalty under the exhilerating influence of champagne and sunshine, the latter are compelled to put up with clouds and ginger -pop. In Washington-City-professional borers in the pay of heavy government contract ors,keep fine rooms with the necessary "ap pointments," for the purpose of ,entrap ping verdant members 'of •Congress. In these houses of assignation, Many a cor rupt bargain is struck; the membex's vote is secured by the agent, and by such pro-, ceedings the people are fleeced. The Loyal Liagne patriots of Philadelphia have _adopted, a similar system, only, that oneir=:private peculation, the other _ A, ostensibly the "dissemination of loyal, sentiments. From the North American' we learn that the general Assembly of the' Nei School Presbyterian ,Church visited the:Towns of the. Union League; and'ori . Thursday they were also visited by "tbe eu tiralay -- nud - clarical ttele'ge£ion of the: Episcopal Convention, Which - had beOlrf sessionin _Philadelphia.

Justice Greedy, himself, with allbie experiepoe, hat nt, a nicer appreciatiOn - of " a roast, a bake or a boil." After Oreeteraing theclerical gentlemen with the table's "generous burden," which they "gradually removed," the rect./ busi ness of the occasion was commenced," which was the indoctrinating of the un 41/S • pecting churchmen with sound Aboli' tion teaching: Ex-Governor Johnston, of this city, was a lay delegate in attend• enee, and he, on behalf of the delegates returned thanks for the League's hospi tality. He, of course, went the entire ex tent of Abolitionism, taking great credit to himself for being "twelve or fifteen years" ahead of his party in sectional agi tation. Whether this new bid of the Governor's for a gubernatorial nomina tion, will amount to anything: or not, the coming First of July convention must de termine. Our impression is that the evening of the State ilection of 1851, saw his po litical sun go down, never to rise and af flict us by again warming him into publio life. The late expedient of using a body of religious ministers, however, demon' strates that he is still fail of politica l strategy, while his speech proves him to be a demagogue of the most dangerous and pestilent character. Oar space, however, prevents net from alluding to its ii,famous utterances as it deserves; we shall return to its consideration to-morrow. si2` - IN Saturday's Post we neglected to notice the rarest bit of ingenuity which our acute neighbor, the Dispatch, has yet produced. It calls open us to prove that. Mr. Seward ever made use of the language attributed to him—in relation to "touch. ing the bell," &c.--by Lord Lyons. No t having been present at the meeting of Seward and Lyons when the said conver sation took place, we ere unable to satisfy the demands of our searching neighbor, All we know about it is preciieiy what we know of other public proceedings. Lord Lyons stated in an Oficial dispatch that Se ward made use of the conver3:e.,c,,, question, and now after eighte.n have elapsed, we have seen no cotttradit'• Lion of his Lordship's revelation. The Dispatch might as well ash us to prove the authenticity of the President's last message as the genuineness of Lyon's declara tions: if the one in question be not cor. rect it is Seward's buainoss to prove its falsity, not oars. THREATENING FES TOES NUMBER VI. To His Excellency, Abraham Lincoln, *President of the United states : Sir: Even if the - confiscation and the emancipation proclamations be constitni a kar proof that passion, and not reason, were the parent of them. They can be taken by thoughtful men as no better than as mere threats against the Southern states , and all their institutions, and as means of feeding the excitement at the North and thus sustaining the zeal of the partisans of the abolition leaders, sorts of safety valves used "to allay the gust they have for quarrelling," with followers whose faith is not so strong as they would like. I say so because history shows that such proceedings never had any other effect against a rebellion. No great rebellion was ever frightened into submission by . proclamations and new penal statutes.— Even an ordinary mob is ordinarily r only aggravated by reading the riot act. Such proceedings, in great re bellions, are usually mere forms of show ing the spleen of an oppressive party, and of laying the ground for still further op pression, if they can gain any advantage, or for excusing themselves for future acts of severity. And if ever the rebellion is suppressed or reconciled, the measures proposed by such documents are never carried out, I know of no instance of it, and indeed it is usually impossible. They are always depraved by passion and se verity, and modern civilization veduld not bear their ezecation. They always add bitterness to the assailing, and energy to the rebellious forces, and increase and pro long, rather than mitigate and shorten the bitterness of the contest. I suppose that a hundred such penal acts and proclamations by British Parlia ment, and generals, and Commissioners, duly authorized could be found to have been issued during our revolution. And as that contest was found more and more diffietilt, many of these, one after another, were modified or recinded, or simply al lowed the fate of oblivion. As with a great bully, Who thunders with his tongue. And with his weapon nothing dust perform." such threats diminish as the danger in ex- ecuting them increases. Burgoyne issued a terrible proclamation in the State of New York shortly before his surrender. No doubts thousand such manifestoes may be found in the history of the rebel lion of the Netherlands, and many of them were mach more bloody minded, I edmit, than any that have issued from Washington or St. Louis or New Orleans. But they were, in effect, nothing but threats of the cruel Philip and his succes sor, and had no effect except to increase the energy of the rebellion, as it did every where except within reach of the_ Spanish army or under the power of the King's forte. However, they may have been in tended, the fact of the rebellion deprived them of all moral force, and they could, therefore, have no other force than mili tary force. They could be enfored:where the army was, and so long as it was there but no farther and_no,ionger. But, however,ineffectual such isanifes• toes for their ostensible purpose, they are very far from being fruitless in another way alretidy indicated. They do _express the:vengeful feelings - of thd , parti:that is really in power; add, unite. all •thU forces and rouse all the energies of the rebellion. It cannot-be otherwise... Severity begets severity . , .cruelty ^begets cruelty; what is 'feltto-be wrong Wakes lip the sympathy of all Who are in similar circumstances, just as certainly as one extreme of social opin ion legeta anothe.r Let ns,learri_what the history of Lord 'Dtinmore'a proclamation teaches Lira Dunmore required all persons.capa blamf -bearing arms to resort-to his stan dard, uzujer the ..psiiatty of :forfeiture of lift. aft propertyi ant declared freedom to all indentured servants and negroes be longing to the rebels who-should join him, "hoping thereby to oblige the rebels to dispose and take careof their families and property." At this' proclauintron, - thrill of indignation ` ran through Virginia, effacing all differences of party, and rous ing one strong impassioned purpose , to drive . away the insolent fower• by which it had been put forth." The English historian, Bisseq, says: Even well wishers of the British govern ment =mum' the proclamation aa. tend ing to loosen the bonds of society, to de stroy domestic security, and instigatasa vages to the most atrocious barbarities." "The Virginians, when this proclamation was issued, were driven to the moat furi ous resentment, and theneeforward set no bounds to their enmity. The project had thasame fate with many other compulsory schemes of government, causing violent irritation without affording adequate ad vantage." And Mr. Burke reported it as barbarous and impolitic, and as farther irritating the Americans, being an attempt to excite insurrection among the slaves. Very respectfully yours. [Correspondence of the Post. THE "DID N.R.ERS" OR OERMAN BAPTISTS. ALTOONA, May 29, 186°. DEAR Pose': Morrison's Cove, one and a half miles from Martinsburg, is the gar den spot of Blair county, and as its highly cultivated fields, snug farm houses and ca pacious barna come into view on descend ing the mountain which overlooks the valley, the spectator is prompted to ask who are the happy proprietors of this agri cultural paradise. A small frame church, located on the bank of Clover Cteek, near Brumbaugh's Mill, and two others of a like character, within a small circuit, fur• [ raish a clue to the answer. It is a settle ment of "Dunkers," or German Bap• [ fists, and the members of these thr re churches form the prosperous congrega tiou of Clover Creek. Lest your readers should be ignorant of the character of these worthy people, I I may premise that they are a denomination of German Baptists, rapidly increasing in the United States, and among whom are some of the best citizens of our Common wealth. They kneel in the water and dip the head first, following the teachings of their first leader, Alexander Mack, a Ger man, who, in 1708, taught them to reject edo-baptism. They are called " Dan lters"—from the German sunken, to dip-- to distinguish then from the Mennonnites, (organized by Merino Simon, a Hollander cf the sixteenth century) who also reject child baptism, and baptize by sprinkling instead of immersior. The Omish, or Hooker Mennonites, (so called from the fact that they wear hooks and eyes in stead of bpttons,) called after Jacob Amen, cic Switzerland, who organized them, are much more rigid than the true followers of Merino, though in many re spects like them, being averse to war, oaths and capital punishment, requiring members to Marry Within the church and observing, the ordnance of feet washing. '1 he Seventh Day Baptists are closely to the Dunker,' The Dunkers are an honest, simple, tin cs,el,triliocs and strictly moral people, dr, , sLing, tike the Priende, very ususllv in brown. The men, particularly ministers and old members, cultivate long beards and wear broad-brimmed hats—the women wear sun bonnets and reject hoops, which they regard as an abomination in the eight of the Lord. They do not fol low the strict community system, bat live in settlements of their own, generally ag ricultural, and are distinguished for in dustry and thrift. They make it a point to assist each ether in all proper underta kings and never permit their worthy poor fo become a charge upon the public, main taining them by an assessment on the members of each congregation. They are non combatants, do not go to law, object to oaths, and until recently did not take in terest for their money. Their religions ceremonies include the love feast, the !ciao 'of charity,._the.waffe.ii—r oh& ininfiiters are not • ducated as such, but all who wish may exhort the people. Hone shows ability to preach be must not write his sermon ) he is chosen minister and ordained by fasting and prayer, the laying on of hands, &c.— He receives no pay and is expected to make his own living, but the congregation gener ally deal liberally with him, leasing him a farm at a nominal rent and presenting it to him after a term of years- The Dunkers of Morrison's Cove have for some time past been engaged in rnak lug extensive preparations for the annual national assembly, which commenced at Brumbaugh's Mills last week, when fully two thousand members were in attend ante, from Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, [ Illinois, Kansas, Wisconsin, 'ewe, Vir ginia and Maryland. About one thousand ministers were present, of whom one hun dred are bishops. A goodly number of females attended, as in all cases where they exercise equal privileges with the men ' .all being entitled to a voice and vote. The body is increasing so rapidly that it is believed they will be obliged to resort to the delegate system. The Virginia mem- bers have for two years past been unable to attend the annual meetings, as they were until recently within the rebel lines: and those from Maryland had been almost impoverished by the war in that State; one congregation was asking contributions to rebuild their church, which was almost totally destroyed during . the battle of An tietam, foright on then. ground. , The houses of all the Drinkers in the Clover Creek settlement were thrown open to all (*mere, whether members or curious visi tors, and, though food was abendantly supplied, sleeping accommodations were limited and blaakete, shawls, robes and haylofts were brought into requisition, while the mill had its full share of occupants The assembly continued in session for several days, closing on Wednesday last. On Sunday it is estimated that at least five thousand persons were present, who, after listening to sermons delivered from six several stands, partook of the good things set out for them. Thechurch, dur• ing the assembly, was converted into a dining hall, with four tables ranuing its entire length, and a temporary kitchen for cooking was erepted in the rear. One part of the room being reserved for the females, the ministers are first admitted and seated; then the standing committee and older members; then the visitors. The fare served up was simple and sub stantial, but of excellent quality, consist ing of bread and butter, apple-butter, boiled ham or beef,. and a kind of bread soup. A hymn is sung and a prayer offer ed before and after each meal. The meetings of the council were held in the open air near the church, and every member who wished took part in the dia. cussions. The matters to be decided upon were brought up in the form of ques tions and referred to committees, mn tiered in the order of their appointment, which after consultation reported to :the Standing Committee, by whom, through the clerks ofthe Council (_who read the reports io. German arid_ Englisth s ) they were presented to the assembly 'for decis ion. If a measure was "acceptable,' the Moderator" (Rev. John Kline, of Virginia) declared it passed, by common consent; if any objection was made it was passed over. Several matters of interest came up for decision. The moat important wasl the draft,with regard to which it was deter -TO ined, notwithstanding their peace princi pia, to sustain the government and obey the laws. The Council decided that every member drafted shall pay hie commuta tion, and if he is unable to do so,- the ex pense into he asseseed,accordingo.shiuty -to mon• the Minisbere -of the Asongreza 7 Lion.

The preponderance of the manes appeared to be going in the direetios of Kelley's Ford and Culpepper. The rebel's infantry guard at Bank's United States and Kelly's Ford 3 has been considerably increased within the past day or two, which is construed in some quarters as a ruse to cover the movement of a raid by Stuart via Culpepper and Rappahannock Station. Governor Blair, of Michigan, paid a e it to Gen. hooker yesterday, accompanied by several ladies and gentlemen. They were courteously and warmly received by the General, and left with favorable im• pressions of his ability to dpfeilt ths rebels when the proper opportunity shall arrive.

My line extends to San Pueblo del Monte. The soldiers are very enthu siastic and intend to profit by it. Signed, UONONFORT.
