DEMOCEATIC COUNTY CON
VENTION.
This afternoon the plitnary meetings
for the election of delegates to our Connty
Convention will take place throughout the
Connty. From information which has
reached us from every quarter, the Demo
crats and Conservatives of the different
Boroughs and Townships as well as those
of the two cities, are awake to the impor
tance of the occasion. There can be no
mistaking the signs of the times ; the peo
ple are weary and worn ; their patience
is nearly exhausted in listening to the slang
of the Abolitionists about loyalty and cop
perheads, when their real designs are so
palpable. Under the pretext of preserv
ing the Union, they are laboring for the
prolongation of the wai, in order to effect
negro emancipation. The people now see
this, and hence the change in public. sen
timent.
THE CAMPAIGN OPENED
The Abolitionists of the State have
finally opened the fall campaign, and,
judging by their opening demonstrations,
we. are impressed with the pleasing con
viction that they are doomed to an over
whelming defeat in October. The great
and palpable defect with the leaders of
that organization is, that they entirely un
derrate the intelligence of the people.
They appear to consider the masses mere
dupes to be fooled, not thinking and res
ponsible people, whose judgments should
be convinced. This was strikingly illus
trated in Philadelphia on Wednesday
on ars. ay evening o owing.
In Philadelphia the Abolitionists get to
preside over their meeting, Mr. N. B.
Brown, late Postmaster under President
Buchanan. In the estimation of our op
ponents,aa heretofore frequently expressed
by them,all those whe were connected with
the late administration should be closely
watched, but in Philadelphia they select an
individual for their presiding officer, who
was always regarded by them as being one
of the most subservient to Southern dicta
tion, This selection, goes to show that a
renegade Democrat, even of the pro
slavery stripe, is tar more respectable
than the most consistent Abolitionist.—
But it is Brown's speech which has attrac
ted our particular attention. He said
that he "came to the meeting not a. 9 a
party man, for this was no time for party,'.'
and then remarked that, "if it were possi
ble to call from his grave that arch trai•
for John C. Calhoun, and place him in
the Gubernatorial chair of Pennsylvania,
he would not be one of more service to
the Southern cause than .Judge Wood
ward will be if elected."
Here is the blunder of the Abolition
ists plainly visible; they imagine that by
picking up a tattered and ragged political
mountebank, like N. B. Brown, and put
ting him upon the stand to prate no party
and his own immense loyalty, they are
gammoning the people. But they are
egregiously mistaken. This Brown was
a delegate to the Charleston Convention,
and was, like Ben Butler, of Massachu
setts, always on the side of the extreme
friends of Yancey ; upon his own motion
he endeavored to have incorporated in the
platform of -the party a pledge fastening
slavery upon all our territories, and pro
tecting it in them by federal enactment
even against all territorial legislation. Now
this proslavery renegade imagines that
he can fool the people by empty volu
billty about his loyalty, and equally
silly gasconade in denunciation of Judge
Woodward. Bat in faith the people of
Pennsylvania desire something else to re
flect upon than the twaddle of self-created
patriots, who have ever been miserable
trimmers and paltroons. They desire to
be informed why, just now, when the re
bellion is crumbling, the Administration
is resorting to conscriptions to swell our
armies and increase our taxes. They de
sire to know if the absolute freedom of
four .million of slaves is the object of this
increase, and whether the war is to last
until emancipation is effected ? These are
some of the points the voters of Pennsyl
vania are desirous of hearing discussed by
" loyal " orators, who are for war " until
the last man and dollar" are wasted in the
struggle for negro emancipation. They
have had enough of lip service about loyal
ty; they have heard enough, in these two
and a half years, about " sympathy with
treason;" these subjects are "stale, flat and
unprofitable ; ". they have - wearied the
people's patience and they desire other
entertainment. Fierce denunciations of
Jeff. Davis, and valiant assaults upon " the
arch traitor Calbeinn," are not all the
people desire ; they are anxious to know
what the design of the Administration is
in raising ouch immense armies as it is?
The meeting on Thursday evening, in
Alleghtnyilike„that in Philadelphia, at,
talziPttilkAk.-3'.no,PAPPy-..- farce also.—
Amofig•oibi#:#l4oA. :
That in our efforts to sustain and
vindicate the Nat:Waal Government, against trea-
eon, by the election of our candidates, known to
be in accord with them, we cordially invite the
loyal and true men of all parties to unite. Polit
ical differences and disputes, about governing the
country, may well be adjourned until we feel
sure we have a country to govern. then, and not
till then, should party politics bb discussed.
The same contempt for the intelli
gence of the people is here visible, as
was shown by N. B. Brown and his
managers in Philadelphia. Here is a
party, professing no party, which every
one knows is the most reckless
in its efforts to keep itself is power, that
ever characterized any political organiza
tion before. It has from the day of its in
duction into office, sacrificed every inter
est of the country to the interest of party.
It has filled every civil office, great and
small, with its own creatures ; it has in
vaded the army and dismissed officers be
cause of their political convictions ; it has
interfered with the elective franchise, in
timidated, imprisoned and banished men
for exercising the right of free speech,
and now, in Pennsylvania it calls upon
the people to endorse this infamy by vo
ting to continue a man in power who has
been denounced as and proven " a public
plunderer" by the Pittsburgh Gazette. If
we do, as this resolution of the Allegheny
meeting advises, abandon political discus
sion and investigation, let Abolitionists go
on in their schemes for emancipation, and
public plunder; let us submit to these in the
name of "loyalty" and of "supporting the
government," and then our opponents
will be contented. But we can not oblige
them in this. They have prolonged hos
tilities for partisan and personal purposes;
they have grown opulent upon the sweat.
and agony of the people; their policy has
sent thousands to untimely graves,and filled
the nation with lamentation and woe! We
can not quietly submit to these things; we
must close up this terrible civil war by
driving those in power from the places
they have so terribly abused. This we
must do, so far as Pennsylvania is con
cerned upon the second Tuesday of Octo'
ber next, and to accomplish it we invoke
every good man's co-operation and sup
port.
VALLANDIGHAM AT WII°.D
SOIL-HIS SPEECH.
Mr. Vallandigham arrived at Windsor,
opposite Detroit, on last Monday. The
citizens of the latter place gave him a flat
tering reception. He was addretised by
Judge O'Flynn in a well considered and
appropriate speech, to which Mr. Vallan
digham replied, thanking his fellow citi
zens for their kindly welcome. He said
it was gratifying personally, but much
more as a testimony for the great cause of
constitutional liberty. Very strange was
the spectacle of an American citizen in
erne, receiving a visit from his own coun•
try natM upon foreign soil and under the
protection of a foreign flag, but in rlght
of his own country. "it is indeed," said
Mr. V., my country, and as dear to me
as when I last trod its soil." It was not
fitting that here he should discuss the po
litical questions of that country. The
great issue at home was, indeed, common
to England and America. It was the
question of personal and political liberty,
secured_ tha,„.cup.lty alna Charta„ the
Corpus, and the Bill of Rights ; and in
(he other by the guarantees of our State
and Federal constitutions. In better
times he would discuss them at home
with the ancient freedom of American
citizens. Of himself, though so cordially
met and kindly referred to, he had noth
ing to say. He was nothing ; the cause
everything. A great struggle was going
on in the United States to regain lost lib
erties—freedom of speech, of the press,
and of public ease nblagea, and to main
tain free elections. He had great faith
in the ultimate triumph of the peo
ple—faith in Providence and faith in the
race which, in England and America, had
successfully supported their rights and
liberties for six hundred years. The n race
would still vindicate itself in the United
States. The right of free election, and all
that preceded and was essential to it, must
be maintained—peaceably it possible, but
it must be maintained at all hazards. He
counselled obedience to the constitution
and to all laws, and the enforcing of that
obedience by all men, those in authority
and those not in authority. The ballot was
the true and proper remedy in the United
States, for all political wrongs; and it was
all sufficient. But when the ballot is de
nied, then the right to revolution begins
—not the right only, but the sacred duty.
Give us a free ballot and we want no more.
Through this we will regain liberty, main
tain the constitution, uphold the laws and
restore the Union ; and thus we will sup
port the government which our fathers
made. Claiming the fullest right at home
to criticise and condemn the men and alts
of the administration, and meaning these,
and at the proper time, to again exercise
it to the utmost, he, yet on foreign soil,
had no word of bitterness to speak. He
would only remember now that they rep•
resented his country, and forbear.
COPPERHEAD CALCULA
TIONS SPOILED.
"About two weeks since a distinguished Cop
perhead of the borough of Temperanceville'
conceived the luminous idea that he could secure
the exemption of all the drafted men in that dis
trict, by proving to the authorities at Harrisburg
and Washington that all the quotas had been
filled, including that required by the draft. He
mentioned the matter to some of his copperhead
friends, to help him in his laudable enterprise.
After a good deal of labor and ftguring it was as
certained (to their satisfaction) that the district
had sent more men than she was entitled to sand
under all former calls, and the draft included.
The list of names was made out, and regularly
sworn to. A subscription, amounting, it is said
to some two hundred dollars, was a ade by the
copperheads of the borough to defray the expen
ses of their ambassador to Harrisburg and W ash
ington. Some loyal man, who was acquainted
with the facts, dropped a line to Gov. Curtin, and
advised him of the character and status of the
aforesaid embassador. The result was that he
was snubbed by the Governor, and his ' docu
ments' WERE NEVER OPENED. He hasten
ed off to Washington. but here he met with no
better success, and a day or two since he came
home,..home with a very big flea in his ear, and
expressing Fret ditrist for • Lineo.n and his
Abolition - He is now at his qniethom.
in Temperanceville, enjoying the distinguished
title of the ' Irish Ambassador.'"
The above precious information appear
ed in the Pittsburgh Gazette of Wednes
day last. The voters of Temperanceville
of both parties desired to present to the
Governor of the State the fact that the
district was in excess of volunteers,
and asked a reduction in the num
ber of drafted men. The evidence was
in proper form and verified under oath
before the officials of the Government.
To prevent the borough of Temperance
ville from receiving the credit which was
her d uecl . , , ,ti h e. d r ot,, l lit4.r was forwarded
to the G overnor ~pajino kittention_to the
matter and th 3 azzette dates when
the documents were presented to him,,he
refused to receive or open them. The
veriest criminal has a right to be heard in
Court or before the Chief Executive of
the State, how mach more the citizen of
this Commonwealth of a district so pat
riotic that a large excess was furnished
for the war. Republicans as well as
Democrats ar - 2 interested in this arbitrary
conduct, and will remember it when called
upon to vote on the second Tuesday of
October.
NA TIVEIBM
The Pittsburgh Gazette is still distressed
at Woodward's nativeism, and shows its
sincerity by supporting Curtin, a full
fledged Know-Nothing and "a public
plunderer" beside. Curtin's Abolition.
ism, however, makes amends , with the
Gazette; he may favor the proscription of
Irishmen and Germans, but if he is only
sound on the darkie he is all right. Our
candidate is on the contrary, in favor of
the political and religious equality of all
belonging to the numerous branches of
the Caucasian race; he is not in lavor of
extending these rights to "American citi
zens of African descent," and what we
like in him, especially, is that he is nog "a
public plunderer." For these reasons we
prefer him for Governor of our noble old
State. We want no more plundering; we
have had quite enough already.

GENEROSITY IN SOCIAL DI
VISIONS
Numarre XXXII
To Zits Excellency Abraham Lincoln
President of the United States:
Sin: Let me call your attention to
another point of Swiss history ending in
the year 15:31. After the commencement
of the Reformation, the Swiss confederacy
found itself in new difficulties. Very soon
the cantons were nearly equally divided
between the old and the new ideas on the
subject of religion, and they were not at
all prepared for the management of such
a state of affairs. Toleration was not then
understood; because no one knew how
to distinguish the province of religion from
that of law and politics. It is not yet well
understood, for the same reason. The
distinction must be understood and ap
preciated generally, and not merely by a
few superior minds, before toleration can
become n definite law of socialism ; for,
without this distinction, society knows
not what must be subject to law, and what
to mere'mental and social influence. Or
rather, it is perhaps more correct to say,
that the true province of toleration en
larges with the increase of social' intelli
gence, while the true province of law or
force diminishes as general intelligence
advances. The more intelligence in soci
ety generally, the more indulgence and
toleration : the more ignorance, the more
law and force.
I desire to learn from the experience of
the Swiss three hundred years ago ; but
I would not condemn either side in those
sad contests, nor imitate either : they both
acted according to the light they had. "He
that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not,
condemn the persons, whoa zeal was in
"accordance to the knowledge" which
they had ; thong history will, of course,
condem their knowledge as deficient, and
therefore their zeal as badly founded. We
have no right to condemn our predecessor
in social growth for faults which they had
not intelligence enough to avoid, and
which are so instructive to us' as to place
us upon a higher platform. We ought
not to condemn the mistaken zeal that
reveals to us the ignorance and errors of
our ancestors. They acted out the faith
that was in them, and if we have profited
by their experience, we are led to a higher
faith. No one now doubts that the intel
ligence of the sixteenth century was not
adequate to guide its zeal in such a way
that history can now approve it, according
to present social standards; and yet his
tory may approve the zeal of each party,
where it measures the conduct of each by
the knowledge that was there reasonably
attainable by each. All could not be rea
sonably expected to have the same ,
or
even equal knowledge, and therefore all
could not be expected to act in the same
way.
The Swiss no sooner discovered that
they had become divided in religion, than
they discovered that, by that, they had
become divided in politics. Neither par
ty being intelligent enough to draw any
line, much less an exact one, between the
provinces of politics and religion, both
alike were treated as of the same province,
and there•ore both as equal subjects of
law and force; and religion soon became
a principle of party politics ; and when
ever force could be obtained, it was called
upon, net only to protect, but to aid reli
gioue influence. And we must hesitate
and reflect before we finally condemn this,
as a misapplication of mental forces ; for
though power is not influence, yet it natu
rally has influence.
The alienation of parties was increased
by the Protestants forming a league among
themselves, and thus creating a sectional
party, with difference of religion for its
political watchword ; by each party charg
ing the other with all sorts of calumnies,
lampoons,
and contemptuous and odious
epithets ; denouncing each other's religion
and morality as degrading and vicious ;
persecuting, as enemies and criminals,
those of the opposite section who came
among them, and those who favored them,
and burning and destroying altars, images
and paintings with the most contemptuous
publicity ; and attempting to force other
cantons to admit the religion to which
they were opposed. In many places new
religious creeds were established by the
magistrates, and recusant bishops and
priests were deprived and expelled by
law ; senators ousted of their seats, and
moderate men driven from the country;
and in some places both parties expelled
all the inhabitants whom they considered
heterodox. Difference of opinion was re
garded as enmity, and each party encour
aged riots and the use of force to carry
any favorite point, and the land was every.
where disturbed and divided. Contrary
to the very spirit of confederation, each
party attempted to force cantons to admit
the religion to which they were opposed.
One of the Oijitricts was - ruled by the
Abbot of St. G .11, and Zurich insisted on
excluding him by force, unless he would
prove that monks, with their vows and
rules, were sanctioned by the scriptures.
This was a direct violation of federal
law, which forbade any canton to inter
fere in the internal concerns of another;
and it was therefore radical, revolutionary
and faithless. When the constitution,
the charters of St. Gall and the customs
of the country were appealed to, it admit
ted them; but demanded that they, though
the very law, should be justified to their
satisfaction by some higher principle; a
demand which sets aside all law. Even
to a contract, one may say—yes, I made
it; but I am not bound by it, unless you
satisfy my conscience that it is just.
Moreover the cantons owned among
them a very large common territory, divi
ded into lordships and bailiwicks, and
this soon became an object of strife.—
Each party wished to have its seligion l
prevail there, and each sought to effect its
end by torus. It became a question of
the gene or loss of territory and power,
and the emissaries of each party were
there, stirring np jealonities and drurai
.ming up recruits and 'proselytesi - and well
assured of the armed and organizedliforce
of their party to support them. lii these
trials of force sometimes one party pre
vailed and eometimes 'the other. Here
again the federal law was appealed to as
settling the rule, and giving to each por
tion its own law; and again it. was set aside
by the demand that the law or the social
compact should itself be justified to their
conscience, and this again was radical,
revolutionary and faithless; and instances
of this kind abound in this and other
periods of excitement and selfishness.
Often, very often, were both parties
warned that federal dissolution and intes
tine war were coming into the country.
Very often did moderate leaders interfere
and effect compromises and settlements,
obtain new constitutional provisions, and
have the oath of allegiance to the Con
stitution renewed. Some few recognized
and endeavored to enforce the duty of
toleration, but with earnest and selfish
partizanship, difference had become en
mity, and the motives of religion sanc
tioned any extremity of measures. Sev
eral times the two parties flew to arms
and moderate men and peace conventions
brought them to terms. But party
lusting for power, still remained ; one
party denying all rights and all charity that
were not supported by a federal majority,
and the other, all that. lacked a numerical
majority, and thus all State rights were
disregarded. The Catholic party also
formed a league together, and at last form
ed an alliance with strangers to support
them against the Protestants; civil war fol
lowed of course. The Catholics sac
ceeded, and when peace came. the Protes
tant cantons were compelled to submit to
terms, which put them permanently in the
minority, and many Protestant districts
were entirely separated from the Protes
tent cause : but the confederacy still en
dures.
Any one can see that there are many
points of close resemblance betwe , n that
intestine disturbance and our ow:t: and
therefore we may profit by it. What I
have written, is abridged from a history of
Switzerland, by a Swiss, Mallet, and it
may be found in the histories of the Ref
ormation of Ranke, D'Aubigne.
Very respectfully yours,
For the Morning Post
Abolition Subterfuges
A. lie well stuck to is almost as good as
the truth —is the maxim of Republicans,
from the Executive liars at the heads of
departments, in Washington, down to
their subservient tools in charge of the
press. These lattar when their columns
can be spared from the effusions of their
masters, set up on their own account, in
order that the public shall not be compel'
ed to search for the truth while waiting
for the accustomed position of falsehood.
The idea of an Abolition Editor of Click
ing well to a lie, is to adhere to it as long
as it may be useful—the same as their
ideas and practice in regard to observing
the Constitution and the laws, so long as
it suits their purpose and no longer.
Witness the following extract from the
North American, in a leading article of the
21st inst., this paper was once supposed
to be reliable, but its subserviency to tho
contractors and the abolitionists has re
duced it to the same level with those it
delights to serve:
"The present civil war has demonstra
ted very clearly that the safety of the re•
nptierngdTYtle 1966firrietih catT:4segt
ment only produced an army of 75,000
three months' men. Against any great
military Power, the delays and disasters
consequent upon our preparations for the
struggle might have proved fatal, as they
certainly would have been humiliating.—
Such emergencies demand large armies,
promptly ministered. We cannot, then,
afford to be exposed to the chance of some
pettifogging Governor' stopping to quib
ble over the quota allotted to his State.—
Nor can we afford to trust to the filling
np of innumerably I , l,eleton regiments by
the slow process of volt:l:veer recruiting,
for no volunteering ever yet equalled in
quickness the operations of the-conscrip
tion."
From beginning to end, the above para
graph contains not one word of truth.—
It is so well known to every one at all
conversant with the facts that "the great
uprising at the commencement protluced
much more than 76.000 men and that
spontaneously without an effort—more
than ten times 76,000 men were offered
to the Prehident; and no call has ever been
made for volunteers, that has not been
promptly and generously responded to
by the people, and the statement that "no
volunteering ever yet equalled in quick
nestis the operations of conscription" is
utterly untrue as regards the raising of
troops. At no period of the present war
has it taken so long to raise the tamp
number of troops by volunteering, as it
has under the present conscription now
in operation. But, no system of volun
teering, can compare to the present con
scription act for rapidity and facility in
trampling upon the rights of the public.
The implication against loyal and patriot
ic Union Governors in the above extract
and the direct attack upon the democracy
in another part of the same article are
equally false in their assumption and un•
deserved in their .application. On the
whole, the statement may be cited as a
sample of the mendacity which now char
actmzes a corrupt Administration and a
debauched press.

New Yorte, Anglia 28.—A Morris lel
and letter of the 24th, to the Herald
says:—
Seven deserters who escaped from Fort
Moultrie on Thursday night to the "Mon
tauk," besides giving much other infor
motion, stated that two blockade runners
succeeded in eluding our vessels and ran
safely into Charleston last Sanday night.
They were discovered by our blockaders
and fired upon, bat the night being so
dark and misty, they were quickly lost to
sight. They were probably a portion of
a large fleet due there from Nassau, with
valuable cargoes.
On the 23d, making good his notice to
Beauregard, Gen. Gilmore directed Lieut.
Sellmer, commanding the - marsh battery,
to open with his rifled gun upon the city
of Charleston. During the night, and be
tween one and two o'clock on Saturday
morning, fifteen shells of Birney's inven
tion were pitched over the James Island
batteries, across the island and harbor and
into the town. The effect of this demon
stration ago inst the city was quite satisfac
tory to ourselves. Perhaps Beauregard
had considered Gen. Gilmore's threat to
sh.ll Charleston, at a distance of five
miles, too preposterous to demand atten-
I tier,. Certainly the city had not been
evacuated by all non combatants. The
visitors which our " Swamp Angel" sent
them created a most uproarious panic.—
The people were roused by their advent,
and a universal confusion followed, and
in which a general skedaddle ensued. It
was evident, from the light of burning
buildings, the ringing of belle from every
steeple, and the screeching and screaming
of locomotives and whistles.
MORRIS
The same correspondent says a few days
more delay may ruin the entire campaign.
Sumter was reduced because it was in the
way of the navy, hat Admiral Dahlgren
has as yet made no advance towards com•
pleting the work which Gen. Gilmore has
so gloriously begun. The army is unable
to do more. Gen. Gilmore hes; perform
ed his part cf the contract, and it now re
mains for the navy to enter upon and per
form its part of the work.
A week's delay may enable the rebels
to replace Fort Sumter by new batteries
within the harbor, which will mace the
capture of Charleston as far off as it was
nt arainet it.—
There is a deep feeling of fear growing on
shore that the fruits of oar glorious tri
umph will be permitted to slip from oar
grasp by the ixexplicable delay on the
part of the Navy. - I cannot explain this
seeming want of energy on the part of the
naval authorities. They may be able to
do it, but some more cogent reasons must
be given than those already in circulation,
or the country will feel far more satisfied
with the result of the naval operations in
this quarter.
MORRIS ISLAND, August 24.—There is
little to note concerning operations of yes
terday. though Fort Sumter had been ren•
dered useless for defence. Big guns in
our batteries were deliberately engaged in
rounding off its remainingangles, and put•
ting on the finishing touches of its de
struction. That Wagner is a hard nut to
crack must be apparent to people North.
It is not yet in our possession, though
foot by foot, and yard by yard, our brave
soldiers are digging their way into it.
I),,ring the bombardment of seven days
not a moment has been lost in the work
before Wagner. With its supplies cut off
and our men wielding the pick•axe and
spade under its very parapet, the prospect
of its early transfer to federal ownership
daily brightens. The destruction of Sum
ter relieves guns and batteries" which4nay
now be otherwise employed,and that Wag
ner is destined to feel their power and
yield before them is considered certain.
That General Gilmore means business
is evident from the fact that the " Swamp
Angel" 'was again trained upon the city
