POTTSI ILLE, May :26, 1863.
OUR DEGENERACY.
When we look back a few year's since,
when such men as Webster, Clay, Wright,
ilenton, Cass and Crittenden and others
iike them, figured in the Senate of the
United States, and think of the wretched
I'natice and pigmies who now are most
conspicuous in that lofty arena, we are
amazed at the rapid decline which has
produced so striking a contrast. What is
visible in the Senate of the United States,
is to be seen in the House of Representa
tives ; and not only there, but throughout
the entire country. The corruptions of the
time have driven great men into involun
tary retirement, while they have thrown
upon the surface blatant, aspiring demago•
Dies, who seal; to attain promotion by
- pandering to the hase3t predjudiccs. Es
Governor Johnston, of this city, gave us a
very striking and transparent exbibiticu of
this last week in Philadelphia. 'faking the
occasion ',I returning thanks on the part of
a number ofolergy men to the loyal League
of that city for its hospitalities, the Er•
Governor delivered himself of a political
harangue, in which,instead of endeavoring
to subdue his political prejudices to suit
the temper and calling of those fur whom
he pretended to speak, he delivered a
stump speech, calculated' to inflame his
hearers, and intended to advance his own
political prospects. He announced the'
he had been watching slavery for "t wenty
five years;" on the stump, in the Legisla
ture and in Executive Messages. He an
nounced that if it was permitted to exist,
it would bring the country to "ruin and
• annihilation." He th n said
"My words were disregarded. was unfortu
nate in being 12 or 15 years ahead of them in this
respect, or they were as many years behind me.
t • pplause.) I fear I have got so many sears
ahead of you, You may be now where I was
then. lam more thorough than this now. I was
in favor of awing the constitutional rights of
slavery where it existei. I am now in favor of
• repealing all laws and constitutions that ma ntain
that fte to the permanency of the American
Union, let it be found where it may:"
After annoucing that he had been watch
ing the enormities of slavery for twenty
five years, and his being ahead of the pres
ent Abolition party "fifteen years," he
now proclaims hie determination to repeal
and disregard everything which stands in
the way of its destruction. His is an en
terprise to destroy slavery, under the
shallow pretense of saving the country.--
He then advances another novel idea, by
proclaiming that, "for the preservation of
the people and this Union, even the Con.
stitntion mast be disregarded and set
aside, and everything be trampled under
foot that interferes with it."
When a cool political trimmer assumes
the role of the fanatic, he always becomes
extravagant, substituting pretension for
sincerity. What is it that Gov. Johnston
desires? Not our Constitution; not our
institutions,
_not our forms of national
and State governments, but their utter
ruin and annihilation, in order, he says
to preserie our country ! What does he,
and others like him, mean by our coun
try" 18 it a certain territorial area, with•
out a government, or what is it? What
do they mean when they talk about-pre
serving oar country by the destruction of
all in it that is worth having. Slavery is
their hobby; it is, they insist, the cause
of the war , in order to get rid of it every.
thing in oar government worth preserving
is to be trampled tinder foot, and all this
in the name of the Union. Governor
Johnston and his set of restless partizans
ought to know that the Union and the
Constitution are inseparable ; and the
former cannot exist' without the latter.—
There is, therefore, no necessity for any
pretentious patriot trampling the conati•
tution under his feet, in order to preserve
the Union. When the constitution is
trampled finder foot, indeed, it will not
be for the purpose of restoring the Union,
but to usurp our liberties. This is the sort
of teaching that cut the golden chord
which bound the States together, and
Johnston having commenced it at so early
a day as he announces, ought now to be
upon his knees, asking forgireneas for his
there in bringing our country into civil
war, instead of counselling, is imitation
of Wendell Phillips, the utter destruction
of cur constitution. Daniel Webster, a
great man, unlike the small ones who are
now straggling for place, was not so blood
thirsty and. destructive as our radicals of
the present day. Alluding to the possi
bility of civil war, ina speech made a Short

Another Abitrary Arrest.
From the Oskaloosa ( Kansa , / Indererelent
On Tuesday last D. H. Bailey, Esq..
editor of the Leavenworth Mlle.?, was ar
rested, by Mayor Anthony, for criticising
the conduct of General Hooker, Mr.
Bailey was denied the right of trial by a
jury of his own peers and was adjudged
by his honor the Mayor to pay a tine of
$2O, which he refused to pay, and was
thrust into prison. He was afterwards re:
leased on a writ of habeas corpus. This is
a high-handed outrage against the freedom
of the press, and, it we are correctly in•
formed, the proceeding was unwarrant•
able and unjustifiable. It is strange that
the Conservative ' generally so outspoken
on all subjects, has not mentioned the
circumstance of this arrest in its columns.
The press should everywhere denounce
such supercilious and dictatorial attempts
to curtail civil rights and stifle the free
dom of Breech and of the press. Every
man has the right to criticise the official
acts of public functionaries, being respon
sible for the abuse of that right ; and the
Constitution asserts that the "right of
trial by jury shall be inviolate." We
very much fear that the rashness which is
evinced by men in authority will rather
result in evil than good : and we are sorry
to see it displayed in so many instances.
We are an admire r of Gen. Hooker ; but
we do not fall out with men entertaining
opinions of him, or any other officer,than
we do, It is their right . . Let them enjoy
it.

if, in this vastly extended. though not generally
Pervading feeling of the South, war should break
out and bloodshed should ensue in that quarter
of the rnion? That was enough for me to in
quire into and 07, wider: and it the chance had
been one in a thougatat that civil war would be
the result, 'should have felt that that one thou
sandth chance should be guarded against by any
reasonable sacrifice."
Instead of Governor Johnston inflicting
his petty denunciation of the constitution
upon the clergymen of the Episcopal Con
ference, he should have called upon one
of them to pray for a speedy peace, in iini•
tation of the following from a sermon of
Bishop Clark, of Rhode Island, recently
delivered :
"Blow front the South, 0 winds of CI 'd, find
bring us tidings of reconciliation and love! Blow
from the North, winds of God, and carry back
the message of fraternity and Peace I Ncatter the
darkness, roll away the clouds, and give unto us
all once more the sunshine of tranquil rest! Un

IMPORTANT B It TELEGRAPH.
The Eastern telegraphic agent of the
Associated Press is a rare genius ; and
his news sometimes is as rare as he is
himself. It is nothing for him to keep
Compositors waiting until midnight arid
offer, for a few lines of gossip or twaddle
unworthy even of publication. On Ist
Sunday evening, late, we received under
the caption of "important from Washing
ton" the following
"Governor Blair, of M i c higan. paid a visit to
Gen. b ooker,Yesterday, accompanied by several
ladies and gentlemen. They were courteou ly
and warmly received by - the General. and lett
with favorable impressions of his ability to de
feat the rebels when the proper opportunity shall
arrive,"
Here is a party of pleasure, on a pleas
ure excursion, comprising one old man
and several young men with their pros
pective wives, dashing down to spend an
hour upon the Rappahannock, and the
movement is so remarkable as to attract
the attention of the telegraph agent in
Washington. Where was Mr. Stanton
when this dispatch was being transmitted.'
His censorship prevents us from receiving
any important truths from Hooker's army.
Does he intend to weary our patience by
I substituting such stuff as we are notic
ing? If the Secretary of War were
a wag, given to the perpetratim of
practical jokes, we could understand his
'telegraphic performances : but the eon
trary is the truth. There is no humor in
him ; he is neither witty himself, nor ei he
the cause of wit in others. We conclude,
therefore, that he is merely malicious, for
nothing but such an intention would, late
on a Sunday night, send such a dispatch,
as the one in question, with the caption of
important from the army !
When oar eye firet caught the imposing
head line, we were sure of it being the
"avaunt courier' ' to the annouu..ement of
the tall of Richmond, the destruction of
Lee's army, and the capture of the South
ern Confederacy. Iu anticipation °reach
a clarions coLsummatiou, our heart tic at
quick and heavy. while our pulse ad
vanced several degreee, riot temperately
keeping time. We saw white robed suii
ling peace looming up before us, while
grim-visaged ear was smoothing "hie
erinkled front." Consider then our de
spair and prostration when we read that
all the importance of the dispatch from
Washington consisted in a few individuals,
principally girls, expressing iheu belief
that, when the "proper opportunity" ar
rives, Hooker will do something hand
some. Will the Secretary of War amend
this dispatch and inform a weary people
when that proper time is likely to Le
ushered in?

The Clergy and the Conscription
• Again.
We were aware that owing to that per
verseness in human nature described by
the French ph losopher when he says t
"there is something in the misfortunes of
our best friends that is not entirely disa
greeable to us," there was a feeling of
satisfaction among a large portion of our
people derived from the fact that clergy
men were subject to draft under the new
conscription law. Bat we thought it was
one of those little weaknesses that men
were scarcely willing to admit to them
selves, certainly that no one would have
the hardihood not only to openly acknowl
edge but attempt to defend. That we
were mistaken in this we discovered by
looking at the Cincinnatti Enquirer, which
seams to think that the clergy is of no
use to the existence or propagation of
our religion. This novel and outrageous
doctrine comes properly from one of the
cow few papers in the West that encour
ages little boys to desecrate the Sabbath
and neglect their religious duties by hawk
ing a political sheet about the hotels and
other public places on that sacred day.—
I t attempts also to ridicule that large and
respectable class of Christians, who be•
lieve that things don't happen by chance,
or are regulated day by day according to
the circumstances that may turn up, by
saying that if preachers were predestined
not to be drafted, "Heaven would stand
by and direct the lot," that they should
not, or that if they were drawn it could
"turn away the bullets of the enemy
even as it abut the mouths of the lions
in the case of the Prophet Daniel."—
We presume he scarcely doubts that God
could bold them in the hollow of hie hand
:as safely in the battle field to in their
; homes. But this is dictated by the same
(spirit that aetua ed the Jews, when they
reviled our Saviour, suffering under their
( persecutions saying "He trusted in God;
let Him save him now,if he will have him."
AB to whether the clergy is of any use to
the cause of religion wo would ask the
editor how long it would exercise a moral
influence on the people, if there were
many among them who regarded it as
lightly and irreverently as himself and
there we•e no watchman on the tower to
sound the alarm. Did he ever know of
anything useful or good to spread very
fast unless there were some whose special
rni,sicn it was to extend it' He quotes
Mr. Beecher—a men whom the editor
could not be induced to accept as author
ity on any subject whatever—to show that
all men are " called" to their avocations
alike by the lord ; preachers, "ahoomak
ers :aid day laborers," and seems to think
it is in the •' eternal fitness of things" to
call a preacher from prayer to fighting,
rather a good joke. The editor will
doubtless agree that the vocation that Mr.
Wilson, of Mass., was called to was ex
actly suited to him, but it would be hard
to convince him that it was right to call
hint front shoemaking to law -making. Of
course there are some preachers who, for
getting their sacred mission have inter
fert .1 mischievously with affairs ripper
tainitor enii;-ely to the State, but this tact
of smile having June wrong should not
draw down punishment en -all, for that
this drafting is intended as apunish
ment the editor ad.cits, and these very
r.nea ti at have transgreestii are gene
rally pretty comfortably provided tor and
wiil escape wi:h.paying their money, while
the poorer preachers who have attended
solely to their pastoral duties will be the
ones who must sutler. (toe of the twelve
disciples was an evil man and was brought
over :o assist those in authority in crush
ing out any belief diiTtatent from their own,
but his sin did not cause the well-beloved
John ana the other apostles to be looked
on with suspicion Cr eubjected to punish
ment Apart front his personal claims
the minister of the gospel is entitled to re
spect on account of the sacred office he is
called to fill. We respect the members of the
Cabinet, because they are ministers of the
government, which controls our temporal
affairs, although we would not be willing
to edm;r they wars entitled to it person
ally, and wbp should wa not the more re
spect thr.se who serve 114 iniirers of that su•
preme government which controls our des•
tie ies. We repeat that to destroy or weaken
the respect ol' the people for their religious
teachers and you destroy their respect for
the religion itself, and no man or men of
sense would attempt to govern, and uono
could govern a nation without its restrain
ing influence. So in a mere temporal and
paying point of view it is the interest of
rulers to foster religion ; most certainly
I not to weaken it. We object to the Editor
taking it for granted that the writer of the
article he takes to task is a clergyman as
an unwarrantable assumption on his part,
that not one of the laity is willing to any a
I word. in favor of their preachers. What
becomes of the dock wken the shephe r d i s
taken from it ? Take away an intelligent,
educated clergy and ignorant designing
men will spring up, wresting the scriptures
to their own and others destruction. Bat
we have great hope in Mr. Stanton, that
when the time comes he will stretch forth
his hand mall Save this nation from the
danger and disgrace of reducing its priest
hood.
Even infidel France, in her sorest straits
for soldiers, never descended to such an
outrage. We are strengthened in this faith
in Mr. Stanton by the remarkable piety
displayed in the by
issued by him
shortly after his installation in office, in
which he gave the glory acquired by our
arms to where it belonged, and showed a
disposition to look for aid and strength to
the only power truly able to give it. We
know that some of his most intimate legal
friends in this city shook their heads when
they read those orders, and said they were
afraid' Mr. S. was becomtng deranged,
they were so different from his sentiments
when living here. But this remark pro
ceeded most likely from jealousy, and their
inability to conceive that a scheming law
yer could ever becomes pious man. We,
however, never believed this for a moment,
but felt thankful that the ruler of all
things had inclined Mr. Lincoln to
place so sensible a man in a situation
where he could be a bulwark against
the designs and innovations of reck•
less men, who relied solely oti an arm
of flesh. This nation should remember
the dread fate of Jerusalem when she
killed and abused those sent into her.—
"Gb ! Jerusalem, Jerusalem ; thou who
killest the prophets and stoneat them
which are sent unto thee." It has not
been vouchsafed to us under the new dis•
pensation to have prophets sent unto us
directly from God, but we have holy men,
trained, educated and ordained according
to all the ordinances given to us from on
high, to till their places as7spiritaal guides
and to remind us of our duties, and when
we stray to warn us back to Him who
made us. If we take these good men and
force them into positions where they will
be killed or bruised as with stones, how
much better are we than the Jews were,
and how can we expect mercy that was
not shown to the chosen people of God I
Already the "finger of God" has been seen
in one of our bloodiest defeats—let our
rulers if they have any love for the nation
and people, or care for,their own future ,
take warning.

An Important Difference.
The Louisville Journal, a stout support

occasionally a small difference by way of
enhancing the harmony that follows,
cracks the following joke:
"If a mistake is made by Grant's army
we how that Grant is responsible. If an
error is committed in the movements of
Rosecrans' army we know that Rosecrans
is responsible. But what human being
can tell who is responsible when a blun

THE LAW OF SELF-RSER
VA.TION.
NrMBER VII. -
To His F.:acellency, Abraham Lincoln.
President of the Untied States:
Sin: The advocates of the emancipa.
tion proclamation and of the confiscation
act plant themselves on the principle, that
in war it is a duty of self - preservation to
do the enemy as much harm as we can,
in order to weaken him. But this is only
an argument of DaBBloll. Let us see how
history and reason, when free from the
excitement of the occasion, regard it.
We have just such a case in our own revo
lutionary history.
In 1778, Lord North's commissioners,
after they had failed of their errand of
reconciliation, issued a proclamation warn
ing the Americans of the total and mate
rial change which was to take place in the
future conduct of the war, should they
persevere in their obstinacy, ar.d threat
' ening (as it was understood) the extremes
I of war and desolation of the country, and
every means in their power, which the
laws of self preseruation dictated, to de
stroy and render useless the connexion of
the colonies with France. It was answer
ed by a counter proclamation, in which
Congress said : "If our enemies presume
to execute their threats, we will take such
exemplary vengeance as shall deter others
from a like conduct."
The Whigs in Parliament denounced it
as subversive of the maxims which have
been established among Christian and civ
ilized communities, derogatory from the
dignity of the crown, and threatening to
debase the spirit and subvert the disci
pline of the army. I remember the time
when nearly all the schoolboys in the
land could retreat Lord Chatham's speech
against this violation of international law,
by a misapplication of the law of self
preservation.
Lord Rockingham endeavored to obtain
a vote of censure upon it ; but failed, and
therefore many lords protested, and had
their protest entered on the journals, say•
ing: The public law of nations, in at
tirmanre of the dictates of nature and the
precepts of religion, forbids us to resort
to the extremes of warnoon our own opis
ion of their expediency, or in any case to
carry on war for the purpose of desola
tion. We are shocked to see the first law
of nature, self-preservation, perverted and
aused into a principle destructive of all
ot b her. laws. Those objects of war which
cannot be compassed by fair and honora
ble hostility ought not to be compassed
at all. An end that has no means but
such as are unlawful is an unlawful end."
I The Tory ministry admitted these views of
'the laws of war, and differed from the
Whigs only by interpolating among the
harsh features of the proclamation.
I admit, of course, the right of selfpres•
ervation; but it is not so much a law as a
principle on which a great body of laws is
founded. What injuries may be inflicted
under this principle are carefully defined
by the law of nations, and nothing ie
IcHt
to the arbitrary looseness:and generality of
the mere prinoinle. Carry out the princi
ple in all its breadth, and you may slay
every prisoner you take, burn every town,
hamlet and house, destroy all the results
of induitry you can reach, abolish all
family ties, and forbid all religion t rites,
if you think that thus you may weaken
the enemy. Ceder such a principle, taken
for law, we return at once to the practices
of savage warfare.
I . am quite sure that you intend no such
thing, and that you have not had time to
discover the extreme- consequences to
which these measures tend; or you would
have rejected them with generous indig
nation. But extreme men have conceived
these measures and forced them on you
when circumstances did not leave you
free for adequate reflection and extreme
men are always tassionate and se'f-opin
ioned, and therefore always wrong in so•
cial and civil affairs. Their passion may
be chronic, arising from long cherished
and practised hate, and therefore so col
lected as the spring of tiger at antelope ;
but it is nut for that, any the less ferocious
and savage. It is the high strung indig
nation, that tavorite theories of theirs are
in danger of undergoing the condemna•
tion of being false in principle, or of be
ing too eagerly and violently forced upon
impiety.
We cannot too carefully impress it on
our minds: extreme men in sonial matters
never can be
,/it for rulers. They always
disturb the quiet order and normal growth
of' society, by endeavoring to force it into
their owp views. ..4// die ti,rants ‘hat ever
existed were men of extreme views, and
their error always was that of mistaking
for social laws, their own individual opini
ons of social conduct. And it is no mat
ter whether their opinions be good or bad,
in the abstract, if society has net been
educated in them, it cannot receive them
by command, and all attempts to force
them breed only diorder, oppression or
rebellion.
All civil law necessarily allows of self•
preservation ; but always under the con
dition that it shall be exercised in such a
manner as is sanctioned as reasonable by
the common usages of society. In war
the equivalent of this is the common
usages 'of civilized nations.
Very respectfully yours,
MORsig.
