James Campbell is announced dn the
State Central Committee as the‘member
from tie Butler district. This is incor
rect) it should be James G. Campbell, onr
rate popular and handsome Marshal of
Western Pennsylvania. Our Democratic
oontemporeries will make the correction,
because of there being in Butier ,a James
Campbell, who is a most- intense Aboli
tionist.
THE CONVENTION TO-DAY.
The feeling of hostility existing be
tween the different factions of the Aboli
tion party of this State, as exhibited by
the delegates who hare arrived city
is unparalleled in factional malignity.
Each set prove the rest so many public
plunderers. And, indeed, to speak plainly,
we are inclined to believe them all. The
struggle is between three distinct sets of
hungry contractors and office-holders,
.■.ho friends of Curtin are the strongest,
bat the adherents of Cameron are active
in their efforts to defeat or scare him off.
There is a third set who are anxious to
beat both theße factions by the nomination
of some damaged Democrat, who,'like
Tod, in Ohio, will suit the purposes of
the Abolitionists. Those mentioned are
Muhlenbnrg and Judge Strong, of Berks
county. Anything savoring of Democ
racy is preferable to an Abolitionist,
but these political trimmers onghttoknow
by this time that renegade Democrats are
not always successful. They tried this
mmo dodge, last year, in this State, and
their ” war Democrat” or “ loyal. Dem
ocrat, or whatever he waß denominated,
did not poll any more votes than his Abo
lition colleague. 'This looking after faded
Democrats, however, proves one thing,—
and that is the demoralisation and corrup
tion of the Abolition party. Ttey not
only change their name every year, but
eacrifi-e their best men tor the meanest of
onrs. There could not be a greater com
pliment paid to the integrity and patriot
ism of our organization.
THE FALL OF VICKSBUBG.
The fall of the rebel Gibraltar, Vicks
burg, and the opening of tße Mississippi,
which its capture secnred, form the most
atriking incident in the history of the war.
The mau, to whose genius the nation iB
indebted for so magnificent a performance,
will have a character in the history of the
rebellion, which will Dot be obscured by
the recital of anj similar achievement.

Numbsb XXVI.
To Abraham Lincoln,
Pi ealdeat of tueilriitedNtoUs:
Bib : Sappose emancipation effected;
what is to follow ? Let me continne this
subject. The freedmen have no where to
live; suppose you allot them three or font
confiscated States, and divide the land
among them,and let them adopt their own
institutions.
Yon do not take other people's land,and
give it to the white man-, he must earn and
boy it according to law; which is the com
mon sense and justice of society. Bat
abolitionists despise the law and common
sense, and think they have discovered a
higher law of social duty, and a shorter
road to justice.- --With then a nation may
be bom and matured in a day. They have
a rite of baptismal regeneration, which, if
administered by tneir saored hands prom
ises to a whole people both regeneration
and sanctification at once. According to
the ordinary course of the world's pro
gress, the European races are a thousand
years in advance of the negro in their
moral and intellectual cnlture. Turn all
our negroes into the wilds of Africa and a
very few years would reveal the full extent
of their barbarism. All the propress
they have gained is but an imitation of us,
and is not founded on any consciousaeßs
of principles. Now even this imitative
advantage is to be given np, and iht
whits man is to abandon his position, and
adopt the negro as his equal and come
down to his moral and intellectual level.
This is voluntary degradation, and is'
morally impossible. A' pure brook can
not admit a foul spring without being cor
rupted. TAc while man is naturally en
titled to the advantage and position which
his superior attainments give him. And
if any negro happens to have similar at
tainments, let him use them, as good
Banse and charity dictate, in elevating the
attainments of his race, and not in agita
ting to obtain for his race a position which
its attainments do not justify. No theory
of the equality of races can be true that re
quires the actual distinctions between
them to be given up before they are com
monly seen and ielt to be of no impor
-1 tance. The white man mnst every where
[degradehimself, before the negro can be
; his eqaal, and then the negro will despise
him. Of conree there are negroes of very
high excellence; but their place nr.,r is
with their r ace, and I speak of it.
The negro has the same germs cf human
principles:as the white man ; let them be
nseiolly developed, and then, possibly, thr,
I difference of skin and hair may be disregard
ed ; that i 3 a question for futnro genera
tione.and we cannot decide it for them. N
man can say that the two races are actu
\ aUy equal, except one whose self esteem
places him so high above mortals, that all
distinctions are lost to him. It might as
well be said that the crab tree is equal to
the golden pippin. It or some of its de
scendants may become equal, but until
they are so, or merit it their place is near
\the forest or the nursery, and not the
orchard.
But suppose the abolitionist leaders yield
so far as to assign three or four confiscated
states to the negroes, and transfer them
thither: what institutions will they have n
In Afnra and Hayti the form of govern
ment of the race is despotism ; but that
cannot be allowed ; for onr constitution,
if it is still in force, guarantees a republi
can form. Suppose it established,; then
what are to be their laws, manners and
customs, and how divide the land. —
All this is to be done by themselves, and
heretofore such work has cost centuries cf
trial. The white man can assome no mile
age ofthem, without assuming superiority
land offending the law ol equality. They
must be left to struggle up to civilisation
and order, through abounding disorders
and civil wars, and contests of ambitions
ignorance, and the plots an 3 impositions
of designing white men, stealing in among
them as they have ever done among the
Indians.
In the meantime they must be our neigh
bors, and if we cannot live peaceably with
the white men of the South, how shall we
do it with negro States? Certainly the
difference will be greater. Let our Indian
wars answer. Of course these will be
worse. Abolitionism will be dead; but
its fighting Shibboleth of equality will re
main, and the Equalitorlans will find their
pabulum in the negro States, and will stir
them up to continual jealousies, and to
claim equality in the common territories,
and then rebellions, and more wars for
the Union, if not for the .Constitution,
and more confiscation and subjugation.
Of conrse, in Abolition principles, the
Begro States mnst be equal to the white
States, and Congress mast be white and
black, and the parties there mnst be not
right and left, bat whites and blacks ; the
EqnaUtariana sitting with the blacks, stir
ring np envy and bidding for black votes.
And the blacks will be continually remind
ed that all the important civil, military
and naval offices are in the hands of the
whites | and all federal legislation will be
conducted with reference to the division
of parties. Do you suppose that our civ
ilisation, defective as it is, will not be de
graded by having B noh barbarism fused
into it. And, it we have not heretofore
been able to suppress these mutual re-
criminations that have divided ns, will it
be possible to suppress them, when the
differences become much more marked, so
that the most ignorant can descant upon
them.
Perhaps yon would prefer to scatter the
social sore over the whole system, so that
it may be more easily managed. Some of
the Stateß, it is true, have.laws to exclude
negroes; but, as commander-in-chief,
you have declared them emancipated, and
perhaps you can, as commander-in-chief
set aside those laws, and require every
State to receive its share. Then we ehould
have near four millions of slaves to be di
vided among us, and of course the least
Northern States will have to accept the
burden of the inundation. Pennsylvania
has already s:,ooo,negroes, and her pro
portion of the new swarm would be about
400,000., increased by her position perhaps
to at least 600,000; making her negro
-population -more ttlum'eleven times as
much as it now is. t colored
iPOpuUftog : are very easily managed, but
but wlmt will Become of them offer suoh
j an overwheimldg immigration, and how
' j sra wo to dispose of It?
I They are to be the rivals of our white pop -
nlation in every Branch of business or ser
vice for which they are competent, where
men, women or children are employed.
And then they must all be admitted to
social eqaality in labor, and in the inter
course of life, or the abolitionists will call
ns worse than heathens, and continne their
agitations. And then, too, according to
them, the white man and white woman will
never rise to true human dignity, until
they consent to amalgamation—the mn-
Irdto is their ideal type —not, o f course,
the present illegitimate samples of them.
And then, too, will come a continued
agitation for political equality of the
negro, and when that is achieved,
the leading Eqnalitarians will always
know how to rally the black party
in constant opposition to the poorer por
tion of the white population, who will be
treated as their rivals. And there will be
constant war between the whites and the
blacks and the allies of these ; for fanaiics
tarry on no moral reformation, but al
ways a forcible revolution. This, snrely,
is no way to restore peace to a troubled
Btate. Charles the Ist could at any time have
restored peace and harmony by abandon
ing the counsel of his fanatical, divine
right Court Party, and agreeing to rule
according to the constitution and laws,
as the Country Party wished. Bat he
used ail his .military and civil power to
sustain his\party, and usurped power to
do it, and died for it.
Have pity, I pra y you, sir, on oar dis
tracted country, and no longer prefer
your party to it. Have pity on the poor
and allow not fanatics to force them down
to eqaality with the negro. Have pity
on the sous and daughters even of the
rich, many of whom will soon be poor,
and force them not to the moral degreda
tion of being the social competitors and
the associates of a yet degraded race.—
Most of them knew not the evils to which
their party is leading them but you ought
to know it. And stop not the growth of the
negro by teaching him that he is already
the equal of the white man, and needs no
further aspirations . Let him grow as we
have done, and as God intended we should,
through many generations of moral and
social trials and training ; yes, and of sla
very too, feudal slavery—it kept our fath
ers in order till they had time to grow.—
Your administration began in moderation,
but soon fanatics took the centra], and
hold it yet. I know this is common in
social convulsions, but history warns you
t j beware of it.
erj Respectfully Yours,
MORRIS.
General Burnßide and the Ken
tuoky Eleotion.
> Uc'neri.l Burnside has declared the
State of Kentucky under martial law on
. the eve of its state election, which takes
place tc-daj. Considering who it is that
. makes this proclamation and how it is
limed, the whole proceeding looks suspi-
The pretext is a rebel invasion;
bni how happens It that onr first and only
knowledge of an invasion formidable
enough to justify extreme a resort
comes from the proclamation that profes
ses to be founded on it? Considering
the feebleness to which the rebellion has
been reduced in the Southwest, an inva
sion dangerous enough to require the
whole state of Kentucky to be suddenly
pnt under martial law, in, to say the least,
surprising ; as is also the circnmstances
that, if real, nothing has been heard of it
t hrough other and less suspicious channels
Military interference by the federal ad
ministration with a regular election in a
state and for the avowed purpose of con
trolling its result, carries on its face strong
| presumptive evidence of intended foul
play ; it challenges strict inquiry and the
most rigorous scrutiny. The country will
demand to know what part or parts of
Kentucky are invaded ; by whom and
with what force it is invaded, that mar
tial law is suddenly proclaimed through
out the state, and a tremendous engine of
military terrorism erected jnst time
enough in advance of an election for a
knowledge ot it to be diffnsed through the
6tate 6 B
We demand to know whether the prece
dent now eet in Kentucky ia to be follow
ed in Ohio, which ia alao within the limita
ot General Burnside's Department ? Will
martial law be declared there to defeat the
election of Mr. Vallandigham, aa it ia on
the other side of the river to defeat what
General Burnside calls •‘disloyal” (mean
ing thereby, we presume, Democratic)
candidates? General Burnside commands
hia troops not to permit dialoyal persons
to approach the polls, and thereby makes
them judges of wbat constitutes dislov
h-’i a \ W f, U u a 3 lke kin d of evidence
which ahull be deemed sufficient to prove
‘ L . He virtually proclaims that he con
siders the Democratic candidates disloval
and intends to prevent their election
Ilia order to his soldiers to keep dis
loyal persons away from the polls will
naturally be interpreted by them to
mean that they are to keep away
eituens intending to vote tha Demo
cratic ticket. What other interpre
tation oan possibly be put upon it ? Gen
eral Burnside even goes so far aa to an
nounce to the judges of election that they
will be held strictly responsible that no
dialoyal person be allowed to vote."—
1 hese judges of election are state officers
theirdnt.es are prescribed by state laws
with their action no federal officer or
agent has the slightest right to interfere,
whether their duties are well or illy per
,foi'“etk they are unfaithful they are
liable to the penalties enacted in the laws
of the commonwealth. It i 8 because Gen.
ifupside knows that he has no shadow of
a right to concern himself about the per
formance of their duties by these state offi
“r? that he has proclaimed martial law
which being a substitute of the mere will
of the commander-in-chif for all other
laws, repeals them, for the time being,
except bo far as he chooses to continue
them in force. He might as well have de
c ared the set ol candidates he preferred
elected, without the mockery of opening
the polls. Ucdar the terrors of martial
law, he has virtually required the judges
of election to make such returns as will
defeat the Democratic ticket, and theatens
to hold them “strictly responsible.”

and behold Vicksburg has surrendered.—
The “greet leading journal,” and some of
the paperawhich do their small best to fol
low its lead, were put to sad shifts yester
day to maintain a decent show of compo
sure and consistency. One or two of the
latter adopted the clumsy and dull artifice
of affeotingnos to believe the news at all: but
this sort ot trick was toe open, gross and
palpable for the Times. Therefore, in.es
| timntmg the effect of the reoent events it
adopted a characteristic mode of break
ing its own tall. It ignored, or almost
ignored, the capture of Vicksburg, which
it glanced at as an event scarcely worth
mentioning, and it argued that “whether
the second Southern invasion is to be re
garded as a failure depends entirely on the
purpose with which it was undertaken.”
lo be sure , Lee may have invaded mere
ly tor the purpose of being driven back,
“V* this light his repulse ought, no
doubt, to be regarded as a Confederate
victory. Indeed, the gentleman who tel
egraphs to the Times its special express

point of“view, for he suggests that Geu.
Lee-never intended to make the action at
Gettysburg a decisive victory for his own
side, and therefore, of course, the failure
was part ot hia plan. The leading article
suggest a that the whole expedition may
have been only a gigantic raid, and that
Lee haviog made a “calculation, in which

I rational Englishmen than the manner in
which th£ Tisnes and some one or two oth*
! er journals have endeavored to delude the
pobiic of England regird-ng the charac
ter, the obj :cu» and the events of this war.
They who blindly took the leaders and the
correspondence ot the Times for gospel,

correspondence from the North we can
i-only say that he might have taken very re
spectable rank as a lyric poet, if, while en
gaged in the production of the mild little
ballads and harmless scraps of popular
minstrelsy he once affected, he had dis
played but a spark of the bold aud power
ful imagination which his American let
ters have exhibited. The general plan
adopted by the Tfwc? was simple. Jt
merejy consisted iu ignoring altogether ev
ery I edeial success and magnifying every
Confederate foray into a grand pitched
battle and stupendous victory. To be
sore, I the journal had its special telegrams,
which of course gave different views of
every event from Renter’s carefully pre
pared, reliable and impartial dispatches.
Given a narrative of events drawn up ac
cordieg to your own taste, what difficulty
can there he in extracting from them a
moral to suit your own purpose? The
Times certainly found no such difficulty
Regularly every week, for the last twelve
months and more, it has been proving that
the Federals had spent their last dollar,
and had seen their last soldier run away;
that they were bankrupt ar.d beaten ; that
they could not fight any more, and would
not even il they could, and that, in lact,
they themselves detested their own Gov
ernment and only longed to be conquered
by the South. It is scarcely a week since
the correspondence in the Tima from
Washington assured the public ot England
that the enthusiastic longing ot all in the
Worthero Capital was that Bee and Davi6
might enter in triumph.
. ea ders at a distance may perhaps feel
inclined to doubt whether any paper could
have been found bold eaough co print,
whether any peopl • could have been found
idiotic enough to believe, such gross and
extravagant fictions. But it is impossible
to exaggerate the woudera which can be
wrought by human audacity upon human
credulity. They have been dosed until
whatever sense they possibly once possess
ed is quite washed out of them. Why we
wonder at Zadkifl and his illusions and
his dupes ? His crystal ball only decayed
the eves and ears of a few silly people.—
j 6 L lmes “ M ma de more fools and palm
ed off more outrageous cheats any day
since the outbreak of the American war
than ever were effected by Zadkiel's ball
since the days when it was manipulated by
Dr. Doe. Zadkiel's ball, too did not ex-
tract any money out of anybody’s pockets.
But our literary juggler many a dupe to
invest in a Confederate loau, on the faith
ol visions more unreal, fantastic and ex
travagart than aoy glass ball er magic
mirror ever revealed. If the defeat of
Gee and the fall of Vicksburg do not con
vert some of the believers in the Times
then we can really have no pity for such
credulous and easy dupeß, and oan wish
them no better fate than still to be “led
tenderly by the nose—ns asses are*.”
