The Union as It was The Constitution as It Is! sa- See First and Third Pane for Coin. mereial Daily Markets and River News SATURDAY MORNING, JUNE 6. DE MOO R. TIC CANDIDATE FOR* GOVERNOR. • The Democratic State Convention called to nominate a candidate for Governor, assembles in Harrisburg, on the 17th in stant, next Wednesday a week. As that period approaches, we observe an increas ing anxiety upun the part of our Demo cratic contemporaries, in relation to the platform which ought to be adopted, as well as in relation to the candidate to be selected. About the platform there can be little difficulty in the Convention, the chief plank, of which wilt be the emphatic ex pression of a determigation never under any circumstances, to submit to a separa tion of the States of this Confederacy.— The Southern rebellion must be put down, at all hazards; it is for those in power to suggest the means to do it. Oar plan would have been, at the beginning, that of Richelieu—first, employ all " means to conciliate," and that failing, then " all means to crush." Instead of issuing " bulls against the comet," calculated to unite the Southern people in rebellion, we would have imitated Gen. Jackson's appeal to the people of South Carolina to desert their rebellions leader's. We should have fostered, encouraged and protected the Union men of the Southern States, instead of passing acts and issuing procla mations only calculated to drive them into the rebel ranks. The Harrisburg Patriot and Union, al luding to the next Democratic nominee, is, in our opinion entirely too modest in its criticisms. It remarks that: " We have many good men, many excellent men in the old keystone any one of whom, if chosen, would do credit to the State—ono we have some, a few, who would reflect honor upon even the ez lilted office of Governor. We might name owe or two of the first class, at least, among the candi dates sometime before the public. if we were not fearful of exciting the jealousy, perhaps the wrath, of others who entertain a better opinion of themselves than we do of them. The misfor tune of the times Is that modest merit is forced into the background to make room for bold assu rance, that rushes forward with confidence and clamor' and carries the day, though all its claims rest upon bluster and pretence merely " The Patriot, in this paragraph, furnishes unanswerable reasons why it should speak out and tell its readers whom the two can didates are who are most fit to ha con sidered, iegaidless of the "wrath"- of aspirants who are so lost in admiration of themselves. For our part we have butone candidate, Gen. Geo, W. Cass, the choice of our county, as well as the favorite of the West, In mentioning him as being onr candidate, we desire not to disparage oth• era ment'oned in the same connection, We merely announce him as being the West ern candidate for Clovernor, and we ac• cordingly invite the Patriot and Union, and every other Democratic paper in the State, to immediately commence the dis cussion of his claims and qualifications, ! Such discussion will, we think, demon strate that Geo. W. Cass is one of the two eo modestly hinted at by our Harrisburg contemporary. " THE WORK GOES BRAVELY OA." When Gen. M'Clellan first assumed command of our forces in Virginia, the radicals commenced their crusade against him by declaring that he'was entirely over taxed—that to much was expected of him. Four departments , were therefore carved out of one, and one fine morning we heard the announcement that all of them were to be thenceforth, under the command of the President, himself. Now it is believed that Gen. Hooker is to be entrusted with a command which was tak- en from McClellan—be is to have the co• operation of all the army in Virginia: Gen. Dix at Fortress Monroe, Halley on the Peninsula, Peak on the Nansemond, besides all the Brigadiers loafing about Washington, guzzling champaigne and sherry. This concentration of power in the hands of an able General would be all I right enough, bat Hooker's performance at Chaucelloraville admonish us that he is not the man.. , e perceive that ths .

And so, too, with Gen. Hooker. He resorted to it in his retreat from Chancelloraville to pre vent i t from becoming a complete (tisaster.

POS BURNSIDE'S ORDER REVOKED. The Freedom ofthe Press Secure In yesterday's .Postive published 'an or der frem Gen. Burnaide to tite New York announcingthat the President,had directed him to revoke his late order sup , pressing the Chicago Times, and prevent ing the circulation of the World within his department. So far so good ; but it may be of some interest to our readers to un derstand the reasons which.prompted thi s revocation. They were merely the very potent ones of retaliation ; the Democratic masses of Chicago had no sort of notion to quietly submit to Burnside's infamous order, and their action told plainly what they intended to do. The Republican poli ticians took the alarm and soon arrived at the conclusion that mobs are not easily controlled ; they considered the danger in which they were themselves, and so re solved to petition for a withdrawal of Burnside's order. The following.proceedings which caused the hasty withdrawal of the order in ques tion will prove interesting. Fears for the Chicago Tribune, the Abolition organ, produced a ham , effect upon the stock holders of that concern, as well as upon Senator Trumbull and Representative Arnold. After the speaking was concluded at the meeting denouncing Burnside's proceed ing, the following decided resolutions were passed with emphasis and enthusi asm. We copy from the Chicago Post : The twenty thousand loyal citizens of Illinois, assembled this evening to consult upon their interests, do resolve, I. That law is the bulwark of liberty; the abrogation of law is the death of lib- ' erty ; the Constitution guarantees the free dom of speech 'and of the press and the people to assemble, and to petition the government for the redress of grievances. An infringement of these rights is a flow at the Constitution , au abrogation of these rights is the overthrow of the Constitution. He who seeks to abridge or destroy these rights is a traitor to law and to liberty. The people of Illinois will forever demand and insist upon these rights. They will obey the laws themselves and insist upon a like obedience by all men. They will seek redress for grievances through the forms of law and the tribunals of justice. They will demand and insist upon the trial by jury of men not in the military or naval service, who are charged with crime ; they will demand and insist upon the right to speak and print their opinions of men in power, and the measures of these men ; they will demand and insist upon the judg merit of the oivil 'tribbnals upon men or newspapers charged with the expression of "disloyal and incendiary sentiments." 2. The military poster is and must re main subordinate to the tivil power. hlili tary, like civil functionaries, derive all their powers from the law. So far as they act under the law they must be observed. When they exceed the law their oi ders and decrees are void. 3. ;' General Order No. o-t," promo; gated by General Burl - wide, by which the publication of rec. Cutc,ll.o is de. dared to be suppressed, is without war rant of law, and should, as we have an abiding belief that it wilt, forthwith be re scinded ,by. the President. If THE Tim or any other public journal has exceeded the limits of lawful discussion or criticism, the civil tribunals, and they alone, are the competent and lawful judges of the crime. To the canna of law it appeals ; let the courts and the courts alone decide its tate. 4. The people of Illinois are devoted, with their lives and their fortunes, to the glorious Union of the states under the con stitution made by our fathers ; they will sacrifice life and fortune. and all but lib erty to preserve that Union ; they will cordially sustain the authorities in all bon• eat and lawful efforts to preserve that Union; but they not sacrifice their liberties though life and fortune go togeth er. Peacebly, soberly, loyally they will maintain their liberties, so long as they can thus be maintained, but they will have theta at every hazard by some means. How the Chiengo Tribune was Saved. Daring the day much talk and some idle threats were indulged in relative to mob bing the office of the Chicago Tribune. Expressions to this effect coming to the ears of the stockholders of that concern caused great Uneasiness, and towards eve ning the front windows of the establish ment were barricaded with paper bales. The bales were placed four deep dently high t 6 'protect a man of ordinary stature from the shins upward. This ar ranged they formed a very substantial breast-work, behind which the editors, clerks, compositors mid pressmen, under command of the heroic Doctor Bray, could hold at a bay a very considerable force of assailants. In addition to these military prebautions, Colonel Hancock's Home Herds, eight hundred strong, were or dered under arms with thirty roen4s of ball cartridgee. The regiment was held in reserve until a late hour of night within convenient distance of the expected then- ' tre of hostilities. Secret Meeting to Save the Tribune. Sp 'great, indeed, were the fears for the safety of the Tribune establishment, that Judge Van Higgins, who is understood to he one of the largest stockholders, got to gether in the Circuit court room a secret meeting of prominent Republicans to con eider what should be done in tbepremittes. A number of Democrats were called in, the doors were locked, and the meeting organized at 12:30 p. in. by the appoint- I frient of Mayor Sherman (Democrat) to the chair, and M. F. Tuley (Democrat) l secretary. The following record of the' proceedings is furnished for publication by the secretary. Remarks were made by Judge Van Hig gins, Hon. Lyman Trumbull, Isaac - N. Arnold,- Wm. i3. -- o . gden, S. S. Hayes, Jas. P. Joy. A. W. A.rrirgfon, Sariiel*W. Fal ler -Wirt Dexter and others. Hon. Wm. B. Ogden presented the fol liming resolution and petition: Whereas.

For the Post: PATRIOTISM AND LOYALTY NUMBER XI. !:". To Him Excellency. Abralliam President of the 'United Oates: SIR : Patriotism, I have saiif,is love of country, which, more fully expressed, Is love of country, its people and - its institu- tions. Now, Sir, it is obvious that, ac cording to this definition, the Abolitionists never were patriotic, and cannot be.— They never did love their country, but only a part of it, and the - rest they hated. They - never did love its institntione They loved its generous liberty of free discus sion, because it left them free to abuse that liberty by rude and unpatriotic at tacks on other institutions. A portion of the Germans, of 1848, came here, not be cause they loved our country, but because they loved this liberty which they could take in abusing other settled institutions, and in their favorite vice of public agita tion. As you cannotreward them all with offices, you will soon find them as agita• ting to your party as they have been to the country. They, with the Abolitionists, spit upon the Constitution that would un ite them with States who have certain laws which they first disapprove and then hate. These classes of people resemble in their undamental social principle, but not in heir religion, the extreme Covenanters, who, for the same reason, reject the state entirely. Bat these are more consistent and sincere, for they refuse all the polit ical privileges of the Constitution, and will neither accept office nor vote under it. They go farther and specify a hundred points on which society, in church and state, are in supposed error, and refuse all ecclesiastical and political association with them until all these supposed errors are corrected. There are or have been many other sects founded on the same principle. One refuse association with all who do not dress as they do : an other, with all those who violate a sup posed law of nature, by dressing at all, or' shaving the beard, or restraining free love by marriage: another, with all those who do not take Saturday for Sabbath : another, with those who eat swine's flesh: another, with those who eat any flesh at all, and another, with those who idrink wine, or even cider. But. I wilt not bentinue this detail. It seems quite clear, that such bigoted peo ple would hardly associate with the Bend of the church himself, unless on terms strictly prescribed by them. Even if he came " in the clouds of heaven and all his holy angels with him," they would not receive hint, unless he came with their creed and ritual in his hand. And yet they are sincere, and sincerity is a great virtue ; and yet it is easy to see that it is not proof or evidence of truth. And such, in principle, are political abolition• lets ; sincere, yet bigoted, and bating ac cording to their bigotry. They condemn an association of states, if they disbelieve and disapprove of the institutions of some of them, and, to carry out their princi ple, they ought to condemn association with nersons whose opinions and pi actices they disapprove, and this would condemn all society. No doubt they think they love their country, their whole country, even these Darts whose institutions they hate. But It is only the love of all bigots, that is, they would wove heaven and earth It, proselyte them to their opinions; a Live that is quite consistent with the most deadly persecution, and which persecutors always claim to have ; a love that roots out the plant that does not grow as it wishes, instead of a true love that kindly shelters, waters, nourishes and trains, so that; by its own vital energy, the plant. may grow up to comeliness and fruitful ness, Let this love be applied patieptly to-any ia4proper custom, and it will give way I not just as we may desire, but cer tainly in (Ind's own time and way. Such love attracts and conquers; while violence, denunciation and force repels, and is de feated. I think this is Christian love, Patriotism, I Bay a . lig, is love of coun try, its people, and its fundamental insti tutions. So love of a man includes all his principal characteristics, without approv ing all his opinions, Ile is not a patriot who has not such love ()Chia country. He may love truth, as he views truth, and yet this may be mere self-love. He may be sincere, honest, tree to his principles ; but he is not liberal, generous and true to ~ r cial principles. Yet liberality Lind gen• °rosily are as truly virtues as sincerity, and society has its necessary principles as truly:as individuals have theirs. Sinceri ty and generosity are both necessary vir tees Then. what is loyalty? If it is anything else than patriotism, it is the conduct which patriotism dictates. It is social ac tion is accordance with patriotism. Pa triotism is the sentiment or will that pro duces loyal action, and measures it. That is not sincere loyalty which patriotism for. bids ; and that is not patriotism that hates the institutions of the country. Fidelity to social institutions is loyalty. I admit, it is no narrow fealty to mere forms, but a generous affection for real things. It does allow some yielding of forms in the transi tion forn the calm and repose of peace ta the .Wakened energies or' war, when the battle ' for national life is raging. Then some disorders are overlooked and some are unduly frowned upon, because' excite ment cannot be entirely restrained, and its acts cannot be accurately measured by law, But, such yielding Is a concession to the great energies of the national life, and not to the suspicionsand strifes of a party, that glows in tyranny as its fears of the permanence of its power increase. Forms yield nothing to a narrow and bigoted and sectional spirit, but only to a generous, living and national one, and even then very gradually and cautiously. We owe no loyalty to your abolitionized Bepubli- Can party and. cannot render it. It has come at last to the extreme which we have, for many years, predicted for it, and for predicting which we were denounced as diahonest slanderers. We warned, but were not heard. " UNION SAVERS" was the scornful answer. And now when our predictions are verified, and one-third of the nation has rebelled, se are asked to give up the bond that holds the rest of us. together, and that may yet draw back the erring ones, if properly applied, and sub mit to the bond of a faction. Sir, we cannot do this. Your own good sense will see that we cannot. Thig is not loyalty, but disloyalty. Our loyalty is due to our country and its institutions, and to our authorized government, so far as au thorized, and not to usurpers, not to men who set aside our institutions, not to offi cers who assume powers not given to them, not to men who hate all our political prin- ciples, ;who act so as to repel our free ax aiatance,nd delight to corgpad na 1.0 tone If them. , ' loyally means fealty to your ad. ministration, then not the administration but only people can be loyal. But if it i' conducted in accordance with love of coun try and its institutions, then it is an admin tstrativi3, as well as a popular virtue. When O r e aotraini4raiion is purely loyal, the peo pleoil2, he heartily so. Very respectfully yours, DIED: ...op..Tgesday morning.

A lively French writer represents a Quaker saying to a dog, whose incippor . tine barkin g had , 'disturbed his coilitship, "I will notlarm thee, for my religion de [lies revenge, but; I will show thee haw a Quaker can punish." He thereupon leads the animal quietly to the gate, and raises the cry of "mad dog;" wheriupon the passers with sticks and stones assail and destroy the unfortunate brute. This administration has adopted this Quaker policy towards Liberty. Willing to wound, and yet afraid to strike, it hopes by the catch-word of "southern sympathy" to direct the honest impulses of hatred to rebellion for a dishonest use. No sympa thizer with rebellion exists in the free states. It is as idle to pretend that such a state of feeling can be found as to assert that there is a preference of stones to bread for food. It is no more in the nature of things than a square circle. Men no more sympathize with rebellion than they woo the Asiatic cholera or infest their veins with black vomit. There does exista class of thinkers,inaignificant originally in num bers, and which only administrative mad ness can mike important, holding from the beginning that the basis of the Republican party was AIsTARCHY, and that it must work out those natural results which necessarily and inevitably flow from such a basis; that therefore, every day of war would give it more power of mischief, and that the die integration of the Union which accompa nied its accession to rule would be contin ued during the exercise of it. We hoped, and believed, that these men were mista ken ; but they were as honest in their opinions as the President in his, and were entitled to the same right of expression as he, and to the same right of protection from tta, country in its exercise as he bad when a private citizen. The right of per fectly free public discussien is as essential to a free state as the law of gravitation to creation. War and peace are subjects of common interest to us all ; we are the jury to render a verdict. If we can only hear arguments on one side, how are we to form a sensible oonclusion P To sup pose that we cannot deduce correct results is to insult the intelligence of the whole - community. The great wrong we reproach to the se ceeded States, is infidelity to the Democrat. ic faith, that truth will overcome error. Yet the administration which makes war upon one section of the Union for rebel lion against the Constitution is now itself in rebellion against that Constitution. It admits thus tLat it was originally in the right not by principle but by accident. It compels us Democrats to oppose it in the very interests of that Constitution which we with it united to uphold. We have not budged one inch from our position ; w e stand cn the Constitution and refuse to abandon it, and to follow the administra• Lion into the labyrinth it has entered. It has changed the policy in which all agreed, and finds fault with us because we refuse to follow its downward path to fresh dissolution and certain destruction. We have never lost heart one instant but it is repeating in its civil conduct that blonder in its military conduct which held back McDowell and saved Richmond.— A Mar has come over it, and, like all the panic-stricken, it does exactly what it ought not to do. Originally strong in the possession of power, strong in the com mon consent of the people, impregnable when it rested ou the Constitution, why is it that, in two short years, this adminie tration has secured a powerful opposition and intensely vindictive personal enmities. The cry of Southern sympathy will not answer. Where was that sympathy two years ago ?—how did it manifest itself?— That cry is simply the assertion of an on trgth more damaging than all the other un truths which have been perpetrated or permitted. If there be a large party in the free States which holds the South jus tified in secession, and rejoices in its suc cess, then the South must be in the right. Such will be the verdict of Europe. Then, instead of this war being a great contest for the Constitution, it would simply be a repetition of the old clash of factions which has hitherto convulsed republics ; it Would simply prove that self govern ment is a delusion, It is bad enough to have such a sentence pronounced by the enemies of freedom, it is dreadful to hear it re echoed, but it is terribte to find the edminietraticu certifying to its truths by repressing frlee discussion. There is about as muoh probability of a man con vincing the people of these Stares that the South is all right and the North all wrong as of an infant coaxing the moon from its firmament by the eager grasping movement of its little fingers; but if a man could be found willing to discourse on such a text we do not know any way so effectual to make believers in his theory as to choke his utterance or punish his attempt, It Will not do for the administration to ac -cage others of that indifference to duty has so singularly manifested, it not 4P:to charge that faith with coldness which shudders at a blow given to the Con atitution by hands' sworn to protect it ; it will not do for the priest who mocks at the Got) to charge others with impiety.— If •from humble suggestion of right it has driven the Democracy into fierce denun ciation'of wrong; if it has made war on the government by every means known to the Constitution and the law as essential For that party as for the government to war upon the rebellion, it is not our fault.— There is one thing dearer than Union—it is Liberty.' We don't intend to give up either the one or the ether, and we no more think the government will succeed In conquering our liberties than secession its independence. But if by the mingled madneas and weakness which seem torule the hour we are compelled to a choice, there will not be one moment of hesita tion. The moment the ,American people arrive at the conclusion which General Burnside has announced, that they must deTosit their liberty during this war and take it !opt of pawn only after victory, that instant secession is a "fixed fact. The history of the World doesnot show one example of liberty returned, and this peo ple is not about to make the experiment. We all recollect the fable of the horse and the" man, and as stories cannot be Copperhead under his present majesty, we think that we may safely quote from 4fso•; foams orae, in a contest with a wolf asked the aasiStance of a man, who on jumping on his hack soon dispatched the enemy.— The horse, with many thanks, requested the ridertc. dismount "Oh ' ,- to !" was the reply ; "if you do not know that you have _a good roaster, I know that I have "a good servant." Horses have been ridden since that date,— World, TO-DAY'S 4U3VIILETIONMENTEL . AND OIL CLOTHS.
