LETTER FROM - RIR. SEWARD
TO THE 'BRITISH EM.A.NCI
PATION SOCIETY. •
The last foreign arrival brings us from
England a letter from Secretary Seward
to the chairman of the Emancipation So
ciety in London, in reply to one sent to
President Lincoln. In this letter we find
the following remarkable extract :
" The President hasneither qnestioned the right
of other nations to form and express their qui
ions concerning the results of the questions raised
by the insurscction, and the policy which . the
beo vernmrt has adopted in suppressing it, nor has
complained of the manner ut which that risht
has been exercise& On the contrary. he believes
that the ultimate and imParticaladsopent of, ,man
kind.B,lw i c i t po a n n llt ac in a l B a , it .ei ee x i . t e o . na entilleecto unices versal
neither this government nor thatof Great Britain
created or could control have rendered it una
voidable that the causes. character, tendency and
objects of the insurrection should be discussed in
that country with scarcely less freedom and ear
nestness than in our own. The results of that
discussion, if it shall be conducted in a just and
impartial spirit; may be taken as foreshadowing
in some degree the ultimate judgment of man
kind. It is. therefore, with sincere satisfaction
that the President learns from the proceedings
now under consideration that a large, respectable
and intel li gent portion of the British people
have, on unprompted investigation,. arrive d at
the conclusion that the existing rebellion violates
the principles of political jUitiC(3, and that they
protest against it as wrong to the fauna race be
ep-Low it treeks to displace a gimernment which is
based on the rights of man, to Hake room for the
eatabltahmetit of another whlch 18 to rear on human
bondage ae a corner atone."
It is remarkable bow sweetly our adroit
Premier talks to John Bull ; he not only
recognizes the right of the English to dim
cuss our internal affairs—a right which he
denies by practice to his equals in our
own loyaleStates—but he is charmed with
the manner in which they exercise their
prerogative. How 'adroitly, too, our as
tute Secretary arrives at the conclusion
that the discussion of the questions at is
sue must result in favor of our govern
ment, and in condemnation of one sought
to be erected upon the corner stone of
human slavery. The complacency of
Mr. Seward in taking this for granted, is
cooling and pleasant enough; bat, unfor
tunately, the persons for whom his letter
is intended are a very insignificant portion
of the English people. The aristocracy
of England are unquestionably and noto
riously in favor of the rebels, and instead
of our administration being pleased with
their mode of discussing the progre%s of
the rebellion and our efforts to crush it, it
onght.to be as indignant as are oar people. 1
From the first battle of Ball Ran, until
they received the intelligence of our las t
disaster under Hooker, they have rejoiced
in our misfortunes and disparaged our
most successful and daring achievements.
These things are notorious, and yet our
Secretary seems to imagine that he can
bamboozle the English into the belief that
our government is pleased with such in-_
famous proceedings, This expression of
satisfaction with the English government
and people, instead of one of indignation,
looks very much as if our Administration
were utterly cowed by Great Britain. Mr.
Seward nods and is cut , he nods and is
cut again ; he turns the right cheek after
being slapped upon the left, and then ex•
presses the greatest delight with his hu
miliation.
The mail which brought over this letter
of Mr. Seward also contained London pa-
pera of the 18th of May. In these we find
additional cause for oar government and
people to be charmed with England's
manner of discussing our affairs. The
London Post, government organ, in a long
editorial discussing the fight at Chancel.
lorsville, remarks:
"Considering, therefore, that the accounts
which have reached us come from Northern
sources, and, judging them by those tests with
which expemenee has supplied us, the only con
clusion we can draw is that General Booker has
• been worsted in his attempt to force a passage
through the Cbnfederate lines, and when the mad
left was endeavoring, with what success we know
uot, to defend himself against the impetuous onset of
his gallant and persevering opponents."
The great thunderer, the Times, re
marks :
" We can anticipate no more hopeful tidings
from the government at Washington having kept
back the news of the result of Monday's battle.
If it should have been unfavorable. we do not
wonder at their hesitatini to proclaim. so great a
calamity. If Geo. Hooker is defeated the last
chance of success, at least in Virginia. is gone."
The Manchester Guardian, the organ
of the cotton lords, also remarks:
"The second passage of the Rappahannock by
the chief army a the United States has been fol
lowed almost as quickly as that of December
last by a sanguinary battle. The-feigned or fool
ish confidence hf the Federals that their General
had " erurprieed" the Cohfederatee in a position
which the leiter have been at leisure to study and
defend for many months past have been dispelled
by the invader findingihimself attacked from an
unexpected quarter, and compelled to act on the
defensive,"
When the English Papers arrive with
full discussions of Hooker's disaster, we
will have additional cause for rejoicing
over their mode of treating oar war
against rebellion.
Stir Som e father, of a eon in the army,
writes to the Kittanning Mentor as fol-
lows:
'' Oh, I thought it was a war for the Union; I
never suspected it was a war for Abolition, or he
never would have gone.. But, what can are do
now 7 We have been deceived and entrapped
with this anti-slavery crusade, where we must
fight and shed our blood, not to restore our coun
try, but to please a set of fanatics whose thirst
for blood seems insatiate so long as they are not
required to risk their own,"
The Pittsburgh Gazette charges that
this was written by the editor of the Men
tor. It says :
"Of courser the language and the sentiment are
both his own, and hei,knew he, was lying when he
penned them. Some lies have a mixture of truth
in them; but this is pure and unadulterated."

If the war is not one for Abolition and
not for the restoration of the Union it is
not because the Gazette has not endeavor
ed to make it so. It informed us long
ago that our arms never would be success
ful, until we announced Abolition to be
the object of the war. " Here is what it
said about our first defeat at Fredericks
burg :
"Had Glen. Burnside beta - successful

was an immense one, the largest ever geld
in Huntingdon county.
His utterViiiiiiossible that the intelli
gent people of the United States ever can
endorse proceedings which strike at the
ing demagogues and scoundrels, behind
the screen, may for a time, succeed in
arousing the thoughtless to acts of vio•
lance; but even the poor instruments
made use of, will, themselves, upon re
fiection, be the first to lament thedestruc
tion and devastation which their violence
produces. Here is evidence of it to be found
in the meeting at Huntingdon. The out
rages perpetratedliave aroused the latent
indignation of the people, who are deter
mined to maintain at all hazards the free
dom of speech'and of the press.
At the present time the people of the
loyal States have two dangers to guard
against—the arbitrary proceedings of the
Adrninistiation's agents and the wiles of
designing- partisans. The former, with
all their insolence of office, are not near
so dangerous as the latter; because an ar
rest, here and there, no matter how fla
grantly outrageous, is nothing compared
to the rule of mob violence. This once
set loose no one can tell where it will
stop. Let the mob once obtain control,
and an hour of its sway may lay the fair
est portion of our cities in ruins. Men of
thought, and especially those of thought
and 'property, should, in times like these,
set an example to their less considerate
and responsible fellow citizens. And yet,
in a few instances, we have heard of men
who have most to lose, in case of mob
violence, who are moat violent in their
suggestions. Such gentlemen should re
member that they but teach "bloody in
structions," which may "return to plague
their inventors."
EXTREME MEN
NUNII3EIt
To His Excellency. Monitions Li twain
President of the United "states:
SIR: Men of deranged intellects row
think themselves deranged, because they
take their own mental action as the stan
dard of all normal mental action ; and it
may be that this is one of the most fruitful
causes of derangement. And so it is with
men of extreme opinions, they never think
themselves extreme, because they men
sure all right and wrong by their own stan
dard. A loot is their foot and truth is
their
_opinion, not for their own conduct
merely, but for the conduct of society,
and that measure is so convenient that
they are always applying it, and theref,a.a
are always censorious. But if, with this dis•
position, they have a prudent regard for
their own interests, and especially if they
have a desire for popularity and place,
they soon discover that consoriousness of
persons and affairs about them can do no
good, especially-to themselves, and so they
turn it to good account by expending their
censures on more remote institutions and
people, and thus gratify a fond ;weakness
of human nature for finding fault, and
prove, at the same time, their own deep
discernment of character and of public
affairs.
It costs too much trouble to find a meas
ure outside of themselves, in the educa
tion, circumstances, and inherited opin
ions and customs of society, and especi
ally of a distant society. They make the
pattern and require all others to conform
to it. They evoke the standard out of
themselves and condemn all who do not
stand its test. Their standard is purely
subjective, and therefore purely personal ;
not objective and therefore not social.
Anybody can make and apply such stand.
ards. A boy or a savage can do it as well
as a Senator; and by it savages do in fact
condemn and reject civilized institutions,
and boys pass confident judgments on the
conduct of generals and statesmen. It
requires much study of history and of
mental and social nature, to find the true
civil standard of social duty and right.
It must be different for different peoples.
If there is anything human that is also
divine, it is parental authority; and yet
its degree and rule vary according to its
own intelligence, and to the age, intelli•
genes and other circumstances of the chil
dren.
And peoples, as well as rulers, are apt
to mistake this principle. They, too,
want to apply their standard of govern
ment wherever they have any authority,
they are quite unwilling to look outward
to the circumstances and customs of
another portion of the people, in order to
discover what legislation may be adapted
to them. Their own will irrespective of
circumstances guides their exercise of,
[ authority. History abounds with illustra
:lions of this practice, all •of which prove
its untruth. It is thus that the rule of
England over Ireland has always been a
misrule. And so it was with its rule over
America. Its own will was law for us, as
it thought; and because that law did not
fit us, we went from under it. England j
could not doubt that it was right, and
was even offended that we should - petition
against her purpose, and she was a ncere, '
as most extreme men are; sincere, yet
arbritary; honest, yet self-opinioned and
tyrannical, because it made its sense of ifs I
own duty as a people, the measure and j
guide of its authority over others. Every
great country gives illustrations
.of this
kind of tyranny of self opinion in social
affairs. Rome, Sparta and Athens give
many instances of it.
When, in 1765, the colonies sent memo
rials to Parliament, remonstrating against
taxation for British revenue, and most of
them denying the authority to do so, they
insisted that "the very escence of repre
sentation consists in this; that the repre •
sentative is himself placed in a situation
analagons to those whom he represents, so
that he himself shall be bound by the laws
which he is entrusted to enact, and liable
to the taxes which he is authorised to im
pose:" and, they might have added, so
that he may know the circumstances, edu
cation and customs of the people, and thus
know how to make laws adapted to them.
And hear what the English historian,
Belsham, says on this subject: "The
only just and solid basis of the authority
of Great Britain over the colonies was
that of common 'utility, sanctioned by long
prescription, and universal' acquiescence.
But when it was exerted for her own
separate advantage, in a manner unanthor
ised by custom, and unacknowledged by
those over whom it was exercised, by mere
dint of superior fogce, it could in noth
ing be distinguished from tyranny, to
which resistance and revolt only can he'
properly opposed. To attempt to govern
la whole nation in a manner abhorrent to
their feelings and prejudices is folly and'
wickedness. '
Hear also what Mr. Burke said in Par
liairient: "Leave the - Americans as they
anidentlr stood ; Wet-and - we, and they
and our ancestors bare,been - happy under
that system... Oppose the- ancient policy
and practice of - the ampirei as liampart
against the speculations of innovators,
and iey will stand on a manly and secure
ground." But the House of gammons,
`jealous in the highest degree, iikommon
with all other bodies of mermisiltorn pox&
er is vested, of the alighted: violati64of
their authority, unanimottely Concurred,
however divided on otheqoints, id not.

MOB LAW AND ITSREACTIOPL
ALTOONA, * SUIIe let, 18G3.
-- ' - ltfitTEiYffo - R. -- : a renevieff con
fidence in, the integrity of the poople of
our glbriotis old ComMonwealth and their
determination to discountenance every act
of
_violence, as well as persecution for
opinions' sake that I address you at this
time, with a view of briefly showing how
the sturdy Democracy of Huntingdon
county act under the persecutions of the
party in power.
You and your readers know that about
two weeks since, on the return of the 126th
regiment, (composed of nine months'
men) raised in this and adjoining counties,
that about a dozen of their number, inci
ted by citizens of Huntington, who have
since become thoroughly ashamed of their
conduct, visited the office of the Monitor,
a Democratic paper established in that
place less than a year since, and, urged on
by those who dared not make an open ac
cusation (knowing it to begroundless,) de•
stroyed not only the press, type, and print
ing material, but also the private property
of the editor, a quiet, worthy and loyal
citizen, Mr. Owens, who was born and
raised in the county.
The act was dastardly and could have
only been instigated by a set of fanatics,
whose arguments fall forceless to the
ground, and whose only resort was mob
law. But the scenes of Friday last con
vinced all who witnessed them that such
a course may not only fall short of the oh.
ject intended, but establish more: firmly
what had been singled out for destruc
tion.
The citizens of Huntingdon, indignant
at the outrage which had been perpetrated,
called a mass meeting of the advocates of
free speech and a free press in this section
of the State, the result of which was, on
Friday last, such a demonstration as has
never before been seen in that great loca
lity. The meeting was announced for the
afternoon. During the morning delegates
arrived in large numbers from Blair,
Mifflin, Clearfield and other neighboring
count, 8, excursion tickets having been
issued by the railroad companies. One
train on the Broad Top Railroad, brought
her car load, from several points along the
line. On arriving they formed in proces
sion with flags and music, aud t after
marching through the streets, were warmly
welcomed in a neat speech by J. Simp
sOn Africa. Esq., who urged upon them
the necessity of adhering to the sound
teaching of the old Democracy by respect
ing the law sibmitting to indignity quiet
ly without attempting to retaliate .at the
expense of a violation of principle. Other
delegatans ware also present in force.
After the appointed hour the Court.
House bell rang and in a few minutes
th e main room was crowded to the utmost,
hundreds being unable to obtain admit
titmice. Several thousand persons (some
say fully eight or ten thousand,) gathered
about, anxious to participate in the pro
ceedings. .Bert. Speer, of Monet Union,
a life long Democrat who has lost his
health (almost his life,) in support of the
Union cause in the field, was called to
preside and stated the object of the meet
trig—to give an expression ofopinion upon
the lawless act of violence so recently per
petrated. Addresses were delivered by B.
S. Johnson, Esq '
of Cambria county,
Mayor Sanders, of Lancaster, and editor
of the Intelligencer, and Mr. Orvis, a
promising young attorney from Bellefonte.
Mr. Johnson's was witty and a)t were ap
propriate to the important occasion. I
only regret that my brief limits do not per
mit a synopsis. Loiters were read from
a number of distinguished speakerli who
had been invited, all giving the strongest
encourn.getnent to the cause. They in•
eluded one from William H. Witte, of
Philadelphia, one from Gen. Will A.
Stokes, of Westmoreland, and one from
Hon. William Bigler, of Clearfield. The
latter contained a check for $5O, as a sub
scription towards the re-establishment of
the Monitor, showing conclusively the in
terest felt by the writer. A series of reso
lutions were passed, suitable to the occa
sion. I have not a copy at hand but will
endeavor to send one to-morrow. Prior
to adjournment a subscription was taken
up and over $l,OOO realized on the spot,
which was, I understand, subsequently in
creased to an amount sufficient to estab
lish the Monitor on as firm a basis as
any " country paper " in the State.—
A very large list of subscribers was formed
and in a few weeks Mr. Owen's paper will
come out in a new dress and with more
vigor and strength than ever. What reck
less extremist will now dare to counsel
mob law in attempting to stop_afren press
which not only comes through the ordeal
of proscription and perse,cution unharmed,
but strengthened and reinvigorated? Cer
tainly there is none so bold in Huntingdon
county—for ou the day of the meeting the
alders, abetters and applauders of this
outrage, slunk out of sight and hung their
heads in shame—rebuked by the all-pow•
erful voice of tea people. May such ever
he the punishment of all who place party
above laws and constitutions.
Yours truly,

Vallandigham Meeting in Newark.
On Saturday last, at 3 P. M., pursuant
to a call issued by the General Democratic
Association of Newark, a vast multitude
came together In the spacious and beauti
ful Military Park, so called, of that city,
to express the sentiment of Jersey free
men in defense of constitutional liberty,
assailed by the military commandants of
the West in the case of the Hon. C. L.
Vallandigham, of Ohio r and others: The
parleat 3 o'clock offered every agr4eabie
and inviting circumstance for the success
of a meeting, the announcement of which
had been received throughout the adjacent
counties with enthusiasm.
TII E RESOLUTION'S
The resolutions were then presented as
ollows :
Whereas, it is not only the privilege but
the duty of freemen to withstand the en•
croachments of the executive, and rebuke
with firmness those in power, who, under
any plea, however specious, may presume
to assault the rights of the people ; there
fore,
Resolved, That now, when despotism
has seized the government, boldness is
prudence, and that we shall avoid most of
all the counsels of timid or time serving
politicians. rCheers.]
Resolved, That the people have thus far
submitted to the illegal acts of the admin
istration, not because they are ignorant of
their rights, nor because they are indiffer
ent to the inestimable blessings of liberty,
nor because they are wanting in courage
to resist the apressions of lawless power,
but becanse they have patiently hoped that
the President and his advisers would desist
from their violations of the Constitution
in time to save themselves and the country
from the consequences to which such acts
inevitably lead.. [Cheera.]
Revived, That in the illegal seizure and
banishment of Hon. C. L. Vallandigham t
the laws of our country havee - been 'out;
raged, the,name of the united States Tie
graced, and the rights of every citizen
menaced, and that it is now the duty of a
law-respecting people to deimnd of the
administration that it at onceand tor ever
,desist ,from Atich Ikeda zit deapotituxtgand
• Raioived ! :That eve have ree.sowto:fear,
from the violation by the riliniiiiitration
of the Ittwelpassed'at its ovniinstance r and
from acts and threats" of cabinet offi
cers, and generals in the 'army, a settled
purpose to establish,, instead of an elective
government, a military despotism , and
that if the tune should unhappily arrive
when our, rulers _shall madly- attempt to
deprive us of an appeal to:the ballot-box,
it will then be the, plain right and duty of
toe people to withdraw their consent from
each a government and to construct, by
the speediest and most available means in
their power, the government established
by our fathers. [Tremendous cheers.]
Resolved, That we heartily approve of
the sentiments expressed by Governor
Seymour in hie recent letter, and that his
truthful and timely vindication of the
rights of freemen entitle him to the res
pect and esteem of every true lover of lib
erty.
Resolved, That we renew our declara
tion of attachment to the Union, pledging
to its friends, wherever found, our unwa
vering support, and to ita enemies, in
whatever guise, our undying hostility, and
that, God willing, we will stand by the
Constitution and laws of our country, and
under their sacred shield will maintain and
defend our liberty and rights, "peacefully
if we can, forcibly if we must." [Great
cheering ]
The resolutions were unanimously adopt
ed with enthusiastic cheers, in which say
eral soldiers joined.
The following letters were then read :
LETTER FROM GOVERNOR PARKER.
FREEHOLD. N. J., May 29.
G RNTI.KM Es : Official engagements will
not permit me to be at Newark to-mor•
row.
My views upon the subject of arbitrary
and illegal arrests have heretofore been
fully and emphatically expressed. Sub
sequent events have confirmed and
strengthened them.
The recent arrsst of a citizen of Ohio,
by military authority, and his trial and
sentence by a military court, were arbitra
ry and illegal acts. The whole proceeding
was wrong in prificiple and dangerous in
its tendency.
The question is not whether the senti
ments expressed by Mr. Vallandigham, in
reference to the war and its prosecution,
were right or wrong, or whether by the
expres.ion of those sentiments he became
amenable to the law. The great question
is, whether the tribunal that assumed to
arraign him and dispose of his personal
liberty was a lawful tribunal, having juris
diction of the alleged offense; or, in other
words, whether, in a state not occupied by
hostile armies, where martial law does not
exist, and where the courts are in audit
turbed operation, a citizen not connected
with the military or aaval service can
lawfully be spirited away at night, by the
strong arm of military power, subjected
to the summary proceedings of a secret
military court, and exiled from his home.
They who differ from the opinions ex
pressed by Mr. Vallandigham and they
who agree with him are equally interested
in the question. If the right o! trial by
a jury of his peers in open court, in the
presence of his accusers, shall be taken
t OM the citizen, and for it shall be subsli
'used the ex parte examination of a secret
c >tut martial, them indeed, we live under
military despotism, and our boasted liberty
be but a name.
The people have a right to assemble and
discuss questions of public policy. With
out frte discussiou a republican govern•
remit cannot long exist. They who are
in authority Ire the servants of the people,
and should oncourage rather than repress
the free expression of opinion. Other
wise the government cannot truly repre
sent the people. '!he language of Mr.
Webster expresses my 'sentiments upon
the right of free discussion better than any
Corm of words of my own, and I therefore
shall adopt his language: "It is the ancient
and indubitable prerogative of the people
to canvass public measures and the merits
of public men. It is not to be drawn into
controversy. It is as undoubted as the
right of breathing the air or walking on
the earth. Belonging, to a private life as
a right, it belongs to public life as a duty,
and it is the last duty I shall abandon.
This 'high constitutional privilege I shall
defend and exercise at all times.' '
This is the crisis of the nation's life. Let
no one seek to bend this question to serve
mere personal or partisan ends. Candid
men of all parties must condemn the acts
to which allusion has been made.
This is the time for the exercise of a
lofty patriotism. It is our duty to trans
mit to posterity the free institutions be.
queathed by our fathers. While main
taining the right let us be calm and die
passionate. Let no wrong drive us from
the path of duty. Let us observe every
requirement of law.
The protests of the people now being
made in every loyal state should not be
mistaken for efforts to embarass.those who
administer the government. They proceed
from no such motive. The people are loy
al to the government. They have sacri
ficed much, and are prepared to make still
greater sacrificea to suppress the rebellion
and maintafn the unity and integrity of the
government. They love the Union, and
will not consent to its dissolution. They
are not fault-finders. They make no fac
tious opposition. With hope long deferred
they still do not complain in regard to
matters comparatively immaterial, but
the question now engrossing the public
mind is a vital one, lying at the foundation
of government, and they would be degen
erated and unworty their lineage did they
not protest, The Union would be of little
value if in restoring it we lose our liber
ties.
Yours, respectfull,
JOEL PARKER
Hard on the Leasuera.
Parson Brownlow, in a letter to an Abo
lition League meeting at Chicago, used the
following I lain language :
"Yon citizens of Chicago call yourselves
loyal ; you glory in your loyalty, you pro
claim it upon the streets, and herald it in
your press, and declare it from every
platform ; but it costs nothing to be loyal
here in Chicago, so far away from danger.
