CHAKLKS J. BIDDLE. Chairman. Pim.Ar'ELPHu, Pa., July 22d, 1563. DEMOCRATIC COUNTY CON VENTION. On Saturday, Aug. 19, primary meetings will be held throughout the County, for the purpose of electing delegates to put in nomination a County ticket, on the follow ing Wednesday, Sept. 2. We trust that there may be a good tarn out, and that good men may be chosen to compose the Convention. The death of Sheriff Woods, | imposes upon us the election of his suc cessor this fall; the Convention will there fore, be called upon to put in nomination a candidate for that important oflice. I,et not large republican majorities of past years in this County deter the Democracy from seeking nominations this fall; there has been and is a great revolution going on in public sentiment, and we would not be at all surprised to see even this, hereto fore, stronghold of Abolitionism disenthral itself from the grasp of that odious fanati cism. There is unusual thinking going cn among the people, and the more calm re flection they indulge in the more rapid will be the growth of conservative convictions. The people must see that the only hope for our conn try is in the defeat of the de. strnctives now in power, who have plunged the country in civil war, and who, under false pretences, are now determined to prosecute hostilities, not for the restora tion of the Union, but for negro emanci pation. The people are thinking about these things, and we suspect that their votes next October will show large acces fcions to the Democracy. SHIFTING THE RESPONSIBILITY. The admirable address of the Demo cratic State Central Conynittee, from the able pen of its talented chairman, Colonel Biddle, has caused the Abolition press of Philadelphia very great uneasiness. The addreßß dives a little too deep for them, inasmuch as it goes back to the proceed ings of the last Congress, and the peace gathering at Washington previous to the breaking out of the rebellion. By the proceedings of both bodies, the Demo cratic address proves beyond all possible question, that the Abolition members of both bodieß are responsible for all the blood, devastation and misery which are now entailed upon this distracted coun try. More than this, the address demon strates that war and “ blood lettirg were a I foregone conclusion with some of the I leading Abolitionists then in Washington. The Philadelphia North American i B restive nnder the conclusive argument of I the addreßS, and iB laboring with great I zeal to break its force by endeavoring to mistify its readers. In one of its pon-1 derous columns in relation lo the old Democratic party, it remarks "In the end. when this Northern i'acii„n was no longer able to lift the South inh> i,„-,y e r j>» counsel- misled the cotton States into rebeliio '• u*” doubted that the rebels eipeete<l the Nort Jem Democrats to aid thorn by a demon stration in thoir fav r at tho Northland that many leading l emo-raticpoliticians at the North were privy to oil the step> taken by the rebel leaders, so bat in point ot fact the revolt itould never Imre happened had not (he country been Jed forward to the brink of the proripu eln de signing Democratic politicians." Of nil the leading Democratic politicians at the North, who were suspected of sym pathy with the rebels,' Daniels, Dickinson of New York and Ben. F. Butler oi Maas aohusetts were most conspicnous. Tho for mer of these two was. from the day that Preston King, of Lawrence Co., New York, in connection with Wilmot of this State, commenced his anti-slavery agitation in 1846, the moat abject follower oi Sonth ern dictation there was in either branch of Congress. He 1 was chief among the Southern sympathizers who plotted and accomplished the political destruction of Silas Wright, because that great man was known to be opposed to the extension of slavery to free territory. Bntler was just as great a tool of the slaveholders as Dickinson. Hs was elected a delegate to the Charleston National Convention, and instructed to support Douglas; but after j arriving there he voted forty odd times for Jeff. Davis, who was not a candidate 1 for nomination. These were the promi-1 nent leaders of that ‘•Northern faction,” alluded to by the North American ; and now they are jußt as violent in their advo cacy of extreme Abolitionism, as they were then the pliant tools of the slavery prop ogandists. Every reflecting man must know that if tho Democracy of the North and West p.efarred political power to the peace and unity nf the country, they conld have re tained it. Had they pandered to and courted every ism that sprang np, there would not now be any formidable opposition to them. Had they countenanced Know rJothingism in 1864, we could have control led it; had we given way to the fierce anti slavery agitation which followed, we could have held ourselvesrn power. But being the party of the Constitution, bound to defend. notaßsail the rights of the individual and to preserve the Union, the Democratic party was necessarily compelled to take issue .with these encroachments. And therein lies the difference between our great p 0 ' litical organizations. The Democracy is the party of the Constitution while our op ponents, since the death of the Whig party, have been ita assailants. Until within ten years, the strength of the Democracy was in the free Btates. '.Ye had Marne and New Hampshire in New England; we had New York' and Penn . sylvamain the middle States, whifsin the West and cJJprtbwest, with the single ex 1 caption of Ohio, we held undisputed sway. Fighting against prescription in the shape of Know Nothmgiem, and fanaticism in the shape of Abolitionism broke our pow er in many of the States, but relying upon [the justice of our cause and the ‘‘sober sec ond thought of the people,” we have gone I on appealing to the : consciences and judg ements, not the prejudices of our people, until now we have an unquestioned ma jority of the virtue and the intelligence of the country enlisted under the conservative banner of Democracy. A sectional party, organized in avowed opposition to fifteen States of the Union, could not but- burst our national unity; it has accomplished its mission, and it is for the conservative masses, under the name of the Demo cratic party, to restore it to its former power and grandeur. The object of the party in power is not the restoration of the Union ; the leaders were always opposed to it, are now opposed to it. and it de volves upon the Democracy, whose creed is broad and general, to raise aloft our bleeding country, and re unite it in bonds of fraternal peace. MASS MEETINGS The Democratic State Central Commit tee, at a meeting held in Philadelphia re cently, designated six plaeeß ,in the State to hold monster mass meetings on the 17th of .September, the anniversary of (he adoption of the Federal Constitution, The places selected are Philadelphia, Lancas ter, Williamsport, Scranton, Meadville and Uniontown. Some of the most popu lar speakers of the country have offered their services, and will be in attendance on that occasion. This will fairly open the ball for a short and brilliant campaign, which will eventuate In the moat over whelming defeat the opponents ot the De mocracy ever met in this State. TO DEMOCRATIC EDITORS. We again invite the attention of our Democratic brethren of the press to the call of the Chairman of the State Central Committee to forward to him without de lay their names, Postoflice, and the name of their journal. Every Democratic paper in the State shonld be on file in the Com mittee rooms in Philadelphia. We hope onr Democratic friends will esteem this sufficiently important to notice the fact as soon as convenient. . I ft®* That the receipts from the inter • Inal revenue do not reach the estimated , I amount is not denied, but that Secretary I Chase is anxious to make up the deficit, lis reported nntrue by his friends. The I discrepancy between actual and estimated receipts is accounted for from the fact that I when the internal revenue law was first I agitated, np to July let, the time when it went into operation, manufacturers and | other? strained every nerve to manufacture | to lay in the largest possible supplies of tax- I able articles. The clause exempting all J manu.actures on hand up to September I Ist was another premium to accumulate I stock, which was readily taken advantage I of. Thus it will be seen that the receipts I from the taxes from the first year cannot jbe taken as a fair criterion. The revenue I for the month of July, ’till, amounted to lj>o,2yB,9ui 18, an increase on former I months, and a steady increase hereafter may be anticipated : furthermore, the gradual resumption of business and' the I growing trade of the coentry arp two guarantees of a still further large in f crease. Secretary Chase and many oth er prominent gentlemen in money matters, we are told, report themselves quite satis fied with the present financial condition of the country, and that they do not contem plate or expect any doubling of the excise nor any heavy taxing of the staples of the South. slas“Tt is stated that President Lincoln from patriotic considerations, has declined to receive his salary in greenbacks, for a year past. Mr. Van Ruren, at the cloße of his term, drew his one hundred thou sand in gold at one sweep. he three camels, for whu h the government originally paid ten thousunj dollars with a view of introducing thin species of stock on the plains of the south west, were sold at auction in St. I.onis on Saturday last. They were knocked down at $9B, $ll6 and $l5O respectively. For the Morning P.,?t Please Correct. Mh. Eoitor : The organ of the Abo! tioniats in this county, in its issue of the 19th inst., makes übq of the following lan* *‘Ab foul examples of the Copperheads we have \ allandigham, Seymour, Wood, Cox Buchanan, Voorhees, Pierce, Ton °eyi Bichardson and Woodward." Will the Qazette please consult its files, and add the name of Andrew O. Curtin whose name heads its columns ? Why it is to be Credited. The rumor that General Bee would ten der his resignation if Captains Sawyer and Flinn weie executed at Richmond, because such execution would be followed by that of his son and Capt, Winder, we are inclined to credit, from the fact that General Lee knows such execution by the rebels of the two above named captains is contrary to all usages and laws of war ; the two rebel captains executed by Gen. Burnside at Johnson’s Island having been arrested immediately baok of Newport, Kentucky, say six to nine miles from Cincinnati, and probably one hundred and fifty miles from any rebel band, and in a county staunohly loyal, while endeavoring under disguise, to enlist for the rebel ar my. The reputation of Lee would suffer too much if he permitted the murder of the two Federal officers in retaliation for two guerrillas executed as Bpies to take place without his opposition, especially when his immediate connections are to suffer from such injustice. Major General Fite John Porter. Hon. Beverdy Johnson haß prepared and published a reply to the argument of Judge Advocate Holt, in the case of Gen. Porter. It will be remembered that Sen ator Johnson was the counsel of General Porter in his trial, and that the counsel of the prosecution having in open court de clined to answer the argument of the ac cused, furnished a private review of the case to the President, to which the coun reolv r T 6 h» def r D3e ,. had n 0 °PP<wH»rity to , e (° re Mr. Johnson has taken this opportunity 0 t vindicating his own confidence ,u ,he innocence of Geneml Ths Newburyport (Mass.) He,-aid says that mackerel are now very plenty in the bay at that place, and of as good quality aH thoße tasen at thw seasoa in theiay 0 f Chaleaur. j For the Morning Post GENEROSITY IN SOCIAL BI To His Excellency Abraham Lincoln* Sir : “It ia a good thing to be zealonßly affected in a good cause,” and therefore a sincere and zealous pursuit of this great rebellion is just what is to be expected of you. But it i B good also that there be a similar and zealous adoption of the right mode of pursuit. In this “no man can serve two masters,” else it will soon hap. pen that “he will hold to the ore and des pise the other.” Suppression of the re bellion means restoration of the civil order under the Constitution, and if yon keep a “single eye” to that, the purpose and the mode of attaining it will be sure to be in concord. Bat if you add another purpose such as abolition or subjugation, yon will be sure to “despise” the Constitution and the ordinary modes of suppressing rebel lion, as standing in the wav of yonr pur pose. Sincerity, however zealous, is no guar anty of truth or wisdom. It may be mere bigotry or fanaticism. It may favor equally democracy, aristocracy and depotism. It may be devoted to all forms of paganism, as well as of Christianity. A selfish sin cerity has no social merit, though it may produce great firmness, or attain to high position or great wealth; but a generous sincerity is a great social virtue, and is the strongest and surest support of social power. Ilißtory loves to record the de feats and the transitorineas of the victories oftextreme and severe modesofdealingwith social divisions, and the successes and the profound and enduring harmony of gen erous -ones. Its voice is the verdict of dispassionate and impartial time upon the seasons of human excitement j and is the sense which our human nature in its best moods, pro nounces upon the special acts of men • maj 1 not say it is the judgment of God upon the conduct of social affairs. For the mistakes of generous sincerity, it ex cuses the man, while it inexorably con demns his syi tem. All its judgments are concerning the management of social af fairs, and it must always condemn an anti social, or as only accidentally beneficial, aii me-re selfish or partisan sincerity. There is much more of this quality now operating in producing our present social disturbances than is commonly supposed. Selfishness is always usurping in its char acter, and feels itßelf offended, as if its authority were despised, by those who dif ter from it. It is offenued even at Bociety, if it do not organize itself and manage its affairs according to its system : and it wails loudly at the despotism of other rulers whom society cheerfully follows, if those rulers do not lead as it wishes. But generosity, even when it does not fully comprehend the thought, that society must have its own principles of action, and can act on no others , without subjec tion to a partial slavery, has at least the sentiment that it must be so, and is never offended when it finds society, or even in dividuals, differing from it. It willingly takes the constitution and laws of a peo plena the expression of the principles on which society acts, even when it sees laults in then which it endeavors to remove, and it is working manfully to contend that social action shall be allowed to pro ceed according to these principles, and shall not be driven into anarchy and con fusion by the individual opinions ot ar bitrary men. This generosity is an essential quality of bll true stßtestD&nehip. A. very minded man may be a great logician, but he can never be a great statesman, for logic does not preside at the formation of the customs, laws and institutions of any people, nor even at the administration of ihem. When a whole people is pressed forward by oue great, generous and undi vided thought, ho who is at their head and shares in their thought will nppear great without really being so. bnt when a nation is rent by party disputes and civ il wars, those only can head their divisions and restore peace, who know how to secure public confidence by generonß and magnanimous measures by dealing gently with the question oi difference, treating tenderly the opinions and customs ol peculiar portions of the people, taking no side in the matters in dispute when it is possible to avoid it, and waiting for a more quiet time for the re form ol ihe several evils which they know to exist. Kven good men who have not tins Btatesmanlv generosity and intelli gonco, are not sufficient for such timeß • lor '-good men would fain be fast work ers, but Providence is ever schooling them into two great lessons : to work and to wait " The civil wars ot France between the Catholics and tho Huganota had lasted more than ihiriy years, when Henry IV came to the throne. He obtained peaee and harmony by a generous treatment ol the causes of difference, and not by sup pressing them. By a magnanimous treat ment of captured prisoners, towns and people, he gradually, and one by one, won all back to their allegiance, and he retain ed them in cheerful obedience by pardon* ing and forgettiog the paßt, leaving to the Huganota the free exercise of their reli gion, and to all their ancient rights, privi leges and institutions. WeU was he named Henry, the Great. His successor, Louis XHI, was a minor, and by the bad management of a narrow minded regent, his mother, the civil wars broke out anew; bnt after many years, Richlieu, a statesman, a general and a cardinal, brought all to order and har mony, by means of victories and pardons, and by still granting freedom of religion and confirming the old institutions. The cit y 0I " Bochelle had rebelled many times, and when he last conquered it, he forgave all but a lew guilty leaders Bud confirmed their relegious privileges ; though he caßt down the walls of the city and all its for tresses so as to make future rebellion less likely. Consistency, And you remember that, in 1784, East ietmessee seceded from North Carolina and organized the State of Frankland • and in 1786 Shay’s rebellion in Massachu setts in which one-third of the people took part or sympathized j and the whisky in surrection in Pennsylvania ; and the re bellion and organization of a separate government in Wyoming Valley ; and the rebellion ot Pennsylvania government in the Olmßted affair. All these were sup pressed, forgiven and forgotten, and many of the men engaged in them afterwards became eminent statesmen of undoubted patriotism. Very respectfully, yours, morris: Mr. Beecher’s Beginning. H. Ward Beecher haß made one speech in England, at the openingof a new chap el. la it he says : "I began my ministry in a church iu the wilderness, where there were nineteen women and one man, and I wished him out more limes than one.— [Laughter.] They were the saints, and he was the sinner. [Renewed laughter.] 1 was at this time sexton and general un dertaker forthe church. I E w ep t it; 1 bought the lamps, and lit them, I would have rung the bell, but there was none.- [Laughter and applause.] I did the preaching, was euperindendent of the sabbath BchooJ, and did everything else there was to do; and though many years have passed, and I have seen other scenes 1 have never had happier honrs since.”— [Cheers.] VISIONS, Number XXVIII, President ofthe United State*: General Burnside on the Ken tucky Election, fCorrespondence of-tbo Chicago Times.; Lexixqtok, Ky., August 10. 1 have jast heard Major General'iSnm eide make a apeech, ten miniitea long, in front of the Phasnix Hotel, ia this city. He commenced by thanking his audience for the kind reception they had extended to ini, who waa personally a stranger to a majority, and, autil recently, unknown to a most,all-of them,. That he regarded t eir presence not so much a compliment to him personally aa a manifestation of the interest which they felt in the great work in which he and they were engaged. Bat he could Bay something in regard to hia public conduct in this department. He had proclaimed martial law in this Btate, He had been condemned severely for it; bat he had been appealed to to do it. He had himself determined to do so, that he might protect the loyal citizens in casting their suffrages ; that he might keep the ois loyal and rebel sympathizers from voting. The? had do right to a voice in making the civil rulers of the state, and he only regretted that he had not prevented more of them from voting. And he felt this duty to be more pressing from the fact that a great many of the loyal citizens were in the held, where they could not legally vote. He had committed r l 8 )?’ ** waa a fi * D > noting tor John?; Breckinridn for President, but he did it honestly, and because he thought that the beat thing he could do to save the country; and he labored now in his de* partment just as honestly as he did. when he voted for Breckinridge. In hi£ communications to Washington Citv he said that Kentucky was 'ihi*, most loyal state in hia department, and* h'e now repeated it. She was more ’ioyol than Ohio, and more loyal than his native State, Indiana. He was not accus tome d to public speaking, but felt disposed to say this much touching his administra tion of affairs in his department, clos ed by hoping we should soon ha ? e peace all over the land, and that would not be a rebel ia the State, or, if there were, that he would be ashatrjed to shew his face. In view of the forgoing, I oak the question, Will General Barnaide place Ohio under martial law at her approach • mg gubernatorial election ? Why did he proclaim martial law over Kentucky ? He says because there was ao much disloyalty there, but he declares Ohio to be more disloyal than hentuotry, and, of course, he w]ll feel the duty to protect, the loyal voters of Ohio correspondingly increased. And, as he protected the loyal voters of Kentucky by putting the State under mar tial law, so, t 6 afford the like protection, he mußt—nay, will—proclaim martial law all over the State of Ohio. The Condition of Log's Army. [From the Philn. Inquirer ] We have more than once asserted our belief that, taken as a whole, the Army of the Potomac is what Gen. Hooker de clared to be, the ‘beßt army of the placet.’ Scarcely inferior in military efficiency although far less completely supplied with resources necessary to the comfort oi'men in Lee s Army, called by the rebels “the Army of Virginia. ’ We are folly aware, and proud withal, that in thus eulogizing Lee’s army, we do the greater credit to onr own splendid troops who defeated him at Gettysburg. For several d3ys past we bad rumors of mutiny and desertion by wholesale in Lee s array, and many have inferred that it was becoming demoralized. Let ns reach such a conclusion with great cau tion. Depressed that army certainly is, yn ? “ eane demoralized as yet, we “T. . , Stuart was really obliged to tight with the Mississippi and Texas troops in order to make them come back : when they are deserting in a body, he was successful in whipping them back to their commands, showing a strong force still in tnat mighty mass. There isa quantity of hard fighting in tbut rebel army yet. From the' cardinal points oi the ‘Confederacy’ troops ar pouring in to fill its ranks. Every man who can be impressed, with gag, and bay onet, will he forced into the service. As ioDgas the aiternativea are “submission or fight, they will tight, and fight fiercely too. U iaoniy when they find, beyond the shadow oi a doubt, that ii is either ■submission' or 'entire destruction,’ that they will begin to give ap ; and when they begin to be demoralized. no power on earth ran save them from dissolution, each contingent hurrying to iia own State in a disorganized muss , misery, panic, famine, the total abolition of law and ordc and an anarchy without parallel . the fair is- Bue of their distortion ot the State Mights doctrine. s Such is the end we may anticipate, hut we would not delude onr readers into the belief that it is in the immediate future. A great battle must be lought., more des perate, perhaps, than any in this war,— We must have vicissitudes, contingencies, great victories, before this ran happen.— To meet this issue the Army of the Po tomacis recruiting rapidly. Every ma terial is being supplied, and every fore thought exercised, to render our army su perior in numbers and equipments, as it already is in the justice of our cause, that when the day of the great decisive battlo comes we may be, through God’s favor, the complete and final conquerors.

DIGFEiJCES OF SAVANNA. <Sac., &c,, Nkw Yoke, August 18.— Flag Ship Dikbmoke, off Charleston-, IC,—Since Monday, events have been rather monoto nous. We have been exchanging shell nnd sb ot with the rebels night and day, probv.bly with but little damage to either side. The enemy’s object was to retard Geri. Gilmore’s Biege works, but they have all been perfected for several days. The in tention to open on the 13th was aban doned on account of some difficulty as to '.he quality of army ammunition, and owing to the serious indisposition of Gen. Gil more. He is, however, much better, and the opening of the heavy siege work will commenco at daylight to-morrow. The shore batteries, in getting the range of the guns yesterday and the day before, knocked three holes in the walls of Sumter. The general impression prevails that the rebels are evacuting Sumter, and will blow it up .as soon as the assault commences. Out of nearly thirty guns on the parapets ten days ago, but six now remain, and most ■of those in the casemates had previously disappeared. The rebels have erected a line of earth works a mile long on James Island from Fort Johnson to Seceßsionville, although they have but few guns mouted yet. This is supposed to be the destination of Sum ter’s guns. Our picket boats around Sum ter report great activity every night with schooners, steamers, &c, On Wednesday night the rebels fired on our works with grape and cannißter, on the information received from two sutlers who deserted to the enemy. We loßt two killed and two wounded. The monitors went np in the night and opened on Fort Wagner, and the rebel guns were soon uilenced. The Admiral went on board the Patapsco, joining her under the guns of Fort Wagner, and came near being taken off by a ten inch shot. IvKKTrcKiAX, The indications are that the rebels will depend principally on their harbor ob structions and the interior lines of de fenses in the attack to-morrow. The I.ronsides will engage Fort Wagner and k eep her Bilent, whilst the Monitors and shore batteries engage Sumter. The wooden fleet and Monitor schooners will engage Fort Monltrie. It will be a grand affair. The rebel works on James Island indi cate an attempt on the part of the rebels to drive Gillmore off James Island, or to so annoy him as to interfere with his siege of Sumter. Wastiixctox, August 18.—A Herald Bpecial says:—Last week one of onrecoute crossed the river at United States Ford and took dinner with some of the rebels npon the old Chancellorsville battle ground. A large ,?ang of negroeß were employed in getting out timber for the construction of bridg'iss The reports in cir culation among the rebels were to the effect that the United States and'Banks Fords were to be bridged, so as to enable Gen. Fee to rnako a rapid advance upon Dum fries and Fairfax, thereby cntting off onr communication with Washington, and forcing us to attack him. Whether such a movement is still contemplated by. the enemy or not remains to be determined, but it is generally believed in military cir cles that Lee will avail himself of the opportunity now offered by the decimated condition of our army, to make a desper ate eflort for the destruction of the Army of the Potomac. It is not at all probable that the rebels will attack us, and we may yet have the annual struggle npon the plains of Ma nassas and Bull Run. Affairs at Centre ville remain quiet. General King has bean searching ener getically for MoBby, and has at length suc ceeded in driving him beyond the Bine Ridge. That notorious guerrilla chief is now in the Shenandoah Valley, where he has been jotned by White’s gang. The probabili ties are that the gnerrillas will now es cape. Oar cavalry is now close npon them, and unless unusually good fortune aids them, they cannot escape us. New 1 ore, August 19.— The steamer Empire City, from Charleston on the evening of the 15th, has arrived. The Port Royal New South says the rebel steamer Robert Habershaw exploded a boiler in Savannah river, destroying the v esßel, and killing all the crew. General Mercer, commanding at Savannah, is im pressing one-fifth of all the able-bodied citizens of Georgia for work on the fortifi tions. All the negroes in Savannah have been Beized, and set to work on the forti cations. Several heavy guns have been sent from Savannah to Charleston. The ram Savannah, mate to the Atlantic, came down the mer on the 10th, intending to rnu oat, but broke one of her engines and had to return. ,t, N «^.E Y ?v R - K ’ A Q S ast J 9--The draft in tne Sixth District is progressing.
