THE GUBERNATORIAL QUES
TION.
At the approaching Gubernatorial elec.
tic? in Pennsylvania; it is of little conse.
qnence who may be the standard bearer of
the opposition ; their cantle is lost beyond
the power of any candidate to revive it.
Like expiring men, however; the desperate
condition of the neurping Jacobins, is in
clueing them to hope against hope; but
instead of their steering their bark in the
safest channel, they appear determined to
dash her to splinters against the rocks.
It was the degeneracy of Republicanism
into Abolitionism, that caused a popular
revolution last year throughout the Union.
Pennsylvania, which, in 1860, gave Mr.
Lincoln over eighty thousand tnejority,
last year wheeled into the Democratic col
umn. Does any one believe that, if the
Republican party had stood to its , pledges,.
and prosecuted the war tor the restoration
of the Union, they would have been so
unprecedentedly weakened in so short a
time? The history of parties has no par
allel for such a falling off from a new and
victorious political organization. What
was the cause of this popular reaction? The
suspicion that the Radicals who were fast
obtaining control of the Administration,
intended to pervert the war from its origi
nal purpose, into one for the subjugation
of the Southern people and the complete
emancipation of their slaves. This, we
say, the Democracy of Pennsylvania sus
pected twelve months ago, and beat their
opponents upon that impression : but now
that the people are told openly and plainly
by the Abolitionists, that the war shall
not cease so long as there is a slave to
fight for, we should like to be informed
what possible chance they have of carry
ingour next State election. To conclude
that they can is to imagine that the quick
perceptions of the public Mind have been
blunted. and have, by fanaticism, become
insensible to their own condition, in view
of giving freedoin to the slave. We,
therefore, look upon the peaceful election
of an Administration candidate for Gov•
ernor of Pennsylvania, at the approach.
ing election, as a simple impossibility;
and the course of those who have control
of the Abolition gam y 4.8 only_ weakening.
The rapid strides of the Abolitionists
from a war for the preservation of the
Union to a crusade for emancipation,
have, it appears, left Gov. Garde and his
eastern friends away in the rear. He and
they are too conservative for the extreme
Radicals, and his defeat for renomina
tion has been determined on. As an evi-
deuce of his not beitg acceptable because
of his want of fiMaticiam, may be seen by
•the course of the Gazette, the organ of
intense Abolitionism in Western Pennsyl
vania. Yesterday that paper, in one of
those Abolition tirades which have lately
filled its editorial culumns, calla the Gov
einor:weak and vascillating, unfitted for a
crisis like the present, "which tries men's
souls."
Well, all we desire is, that when Cur-
tin is sacrificed to appease the Abolition
spirit of his party, it will be honest enough
to nominate, in his stead, some one who
is the embodiment of their Convictions.
Let us have a square encounter next fall ;
let as, in opposition to our candidate and
platform, have an Abolitionist of unmis
takable standing, and a platform breath
ing war and conscriptions until slavery is
orever destroyed in North America.. Let
hem pledge the "last dollar and last
man " in the free States in order to secure
the sadden freedom of the slaves of the
South, and then the canvas will be strip
ped of all ambiguity. Then we shall have
the conservatives battling for a war for the
Union and the rights of freemen against
fanaticism, with its demand for a war
for negro emancipation first, and his social
and political equality afterwards. Let
but the Radicals avow their real intentions
and they will be scattered in October next
and never heard , of after.
Respect for Law
The Tribune of Friday, says the New
York Wo r l d,l quoted a decision of the Su
preme Court of the United States, de
manded obedience to it, and denounced
disrespect to it as disloyalty. The stern
logic of events is fast driving conviction
into the heads of even stich obstinate fa•
antics as the Tribune. Pray, neighbor,
why was not the Dred Scott decision just
as much entitled to obedience and respect
as the case you cite ? Why did you de.
nounce that as infamous and do all in
your power to nullify it ? If a solemn
udgment of the Supreme Court is the
law, why did you preach that it was not
law and endeavor to circumvent it? How
e3uld you, without disloyalty, support for
President a man pledged to disregard it,
to contravene it? Don't you see that
you have opened the door to human pas•
sion and bolted it against reason ? Don't
you see that you have preached a doctrine
which, carried to its legitimate results,
sat jects the life and property of every
man to the merrioa of-a r -political party.—
(Tutees there is some tribunal above the

after his election, that he would Obey the

Dispatches to Slidell— Propositions
made by Jeff. Davis to Louis Napoleon
and Spain—The Southern Confederacy
Places itself Under the Protectorate of
.France.
WASHINGTON, July 26, 1863
Since the return of Vice Preeident Ste
phens to Richmond, several facts have
ben brought to light calculated to, make
pe iple think 'that his mission was not elm
pli confined to, the topics contained in
Jeff. DA9iE3 1 8 instructions, but had a far
more important object in view.
A- gentleman connected with the State
Department tells 'me to-day, that inde
pendent of his public and ostensible mis
sion, Mr. Stephens had been intrusted by
the President of the Conferacy with a se
cret one—that - the first was only a cloak to
conceal the second, and that revelations
of the greatest importance were at the
bottom of the diplomatic transactions in.
trusted to his care. - ,
This, it appears, has been discovered
since the return of Mr. Stephens to Rich
mond, where his arrival was immediately
followed by a Cabinet Council, and by the
sending of a 'bearer of a dispatChes to
London and Paris by Mr. Benjamin, the
Secretary of Foreign Affairs.
This bearer of dispatches carries with
him,l am told, a proposition of alliance
to Louis Napoleon, in which the Confed
erate Government proposes to the Em
peror of 'the French, to acknowledge for
ever the right of France to a protectorate
upon Mexico and upon the Republic of
Central America, and the offer of free
trade with the South for a term of twenty
five years.
At . the same time, Jiff. Davis, in com
pliance with the well-known spirit of an
tagoniam existing in Europe on the ques
tion of slavery, proposes to modify that
institution in a manner consistent with the
requirements of civilization and humanity.
In exchange,' the President of the Con
federate Government demands the recog
nition of the South and the raising of the
blockade ; and should this measure cause
a war between the Northern States and
France, all that the Confederate Govern
ment requires in such a case is the co op
eration of her navy. Neither a man nor
a musket is needed from Europe, but
simply vessels of war and a few iron clad
s hi p s. Mr. Slidell, to whom these communi
cations have been transmitted, is authori
zed to offer the same inducements to ev
ery nation that may feel inclined to com
ply with the wishes of the South, and par
ticalarly to Spain, to which the possession
of Cuba and - the - Soathern part cf Sar
Domingo would b 2 guaranteed terovet
should she decide to lead her assistance
to the permanent foundation of the South
ern Confederacy.
I am also told that Mr. Slidell is invite('
to take advice of Louis Napoleon in eve
rything belonging to the institutions to rf
hereafter framed by the Southern Confed
eracy, to solicit his opinion as regards the
best means to be employed for the founda
tion south of Mason and Dixon's line of
a strong consolidated government, and
even to promise him a protectorate upon
Texas should he deem the independence
of that State necessary to his designs upon
Mexico.
In fact, the proposition of JetT. Davis
to Louis Napoleon is that of an offensive
and defensive alliance, attended with as
large concessions as a Government can
make to another without losing its free
dom of action or dignity of character.

General Burnside hes issued a general

it is equally so to attempt to bring any law

NEWS PROM THE SOUTH
Tae Tribune wonders that the Roman
Catholic Church in the United States has
not opened its batteries against slavery.—
The calibre of intellect which sways the
Roman Catholic Church is not exactly that
of the Tribune. What that church has
done for freedom throughout the world—
more perhaps than any other power—has
been done by acting on the slaveholder,
not against him. England rose from serf
dom principally through the exertions of
the Roman priesthood. In the hour of
remorse, at the bed of death, the priest
suggested to the softened heart that to do
good was the best sin offering to God ; that
freedom to those in chains would be more
acceptable than groans and prayers. By
the silent influence of the church the serf
was redeemed from his bondage and en
dowed with the rights of a man. If the
ehnrch had abused sla . vehdlciers and
denied its rites, there would simply bar : ,
resulted fewer Christians and more serfs.

I.c is reported here to-day that some
forty of Moseby's guerrillas were captured
last night, but on inquiry,the stOry proves
to be unfounded. - One scouting party
captured six and another a single guer
rilla, which appears to be all that has been
done in that line for the past 'forty•eight
hours.
The Times has the following:
HEADOIIA.RTERR ARMY OF THE POTOMAC,
July 25, 6 F., M. — The position of the rebel
army is as follows :—On Friday morning at
6 o'clock the advance of Hill's and Long
street's corps reached Culpepper. The
columns were well closed np, and their
entire corps must be concentrated there
before this time. Of this retrograde move
ment there can be no question.
Ewell's corps, it is understood here,
still occupy the Shenandoah Valley, where
it is guarding fords. on'the Shenandoah,
and in the rear of the rebel army. This
fact is supposed to explain the recant
alarm about alleged movements, indica
ting that Lee was not retreating, and was
preparing to return to Maryland.
The Times' special says:—The Cora
missioner of Internal Revenue has decided
that a certificate of exemption for those
who have been drafted, and have furnished

from stamp duty. Any certificate which
may be issued by a magistrate in connec

scription act is subject to a stamp duty of
five cents.
