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

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

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,

SOUTHERN SYMPATHY.
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.
