pie with the wonders of Franca and of
Frcnch industry fourth, an army ; by its
example and its instruction.
Thus, then, and naturally, by a diffusion
and profusion of interests and of labor,
the desire and need of firmnessin the po
litical system will be .fortifietti In the
great movement of our century industry
and financial interests control and conduct
society. Questions of politics disappear
before social questions. Tweitty. years
ego the opposition was republican—to-day
it is social. And the theory of human
equality no longer assumes to reduce the
great to the condition of the lowly but to
raise the lowly to the level of the great.
The problems of general prosperity, of the
increase of wage's; ot cheap I:troduction, of
public hygiene, can be much more easily
solved , under a powerful governmerit. The
empire has disciplined socialism and put
it to use. The empire has cououeredianfi
decapitated anarchy. This it is that the
empire is to do in Mexico, and this it
cannot do securely and prop.rly until the
confederate states have been recognized.
In
If war had not broken out between the
Northern and Southern States of America
Europe would not yet have been impress
' ed 'with the dangers which threaten her
from the power of the Union.
Although she become tributary io:the
new world Europe had taken no precau
tion to prevent the consummation of a
er:stia which she had never foreseen, and
which for two years she has been ender
ing. It has cost us something to learn
• how uncertain is the fortune of an indus
try compelled to seek its raw materials in
a single market, to all the exactions and
all the vicissitudes of which it must neces
sarily submit.
In this respect the secession of the Con
federate States is an event particularly fa
vorable to France—foe England has now
no interest in the cessation of hostilities
and the consequent constitution of an in•
termediary power between the federal
Union and the Spanish American states.
England trembles for Canada. to which
the North, after the war, may look for the
compensation of its losses. The com
merce of England profits by the misfor
tunes of American commerce—she looks
with satisfaction on the exhaustion alike
cf the South and of the North. She sup•
plies both parties with arms, and while
the southern export of cotton is suspend
ed she is increasing the cotton culture of
'lndia. England, then, will never take the
initiative in recognizing the Confederate
States, and the way in which our proposi
tions of pacific intervention were twice re
ceived by her, ought to dispel all doubts
on this head.
France, on the other hand, cannot hope
ti.iind the cotton which her factories need
elsewhere than in the South. Every at
tempt at the culture has failed, and it is
unfortunately probable that every such
attempt will continue to fail. The cotton
culture, like the grape culture, is a ques
tion of soils. A vine from Bordeaux or
the Rhine transplanted under the same
latitudes and climates will yield neither n
• Chateau Margaux nor a Johannisberg.
The wine changes with the soil; and so it
is with cotton—its quality degenerates,
with the soil. Furthermore, the question
is not to produce some sort of cotton,
good, bad, or ordinary, but to produce it
at fair prices. Now, as well in respect to
cheapness as to quality, the cotton of the
South surpasses all others. The federals
are ao well aware of this, that the war
which they are waging is really and main
ly a war of interest. The producing,
agricultural South was the commercial
vassal of the North, which insists upon
keeping its best customer ; emancipation
is merely a skillful device for entrapping
the sympathies of European liberalism.
If the North were victorious, it would
never probe the slavery question to the
c , re. Once masters of the. negro. race,
Northern men would be slow to compro
mise the cotton culture, for the sake of
which they are so savagely maintaining an
unjust war; they would then hasten to
admit that it is impossible to change the
vital economical condition of an immense
region by a battle or a stroke of the pen.
The Northern idea of the abolition of
slavery by making the negro food for pow
d-r or by exiling him from his home to
die of hunger, is now thoroughly under•
stood in Europe. 0,,r notions of phi
lanthropy and our moral sense alike revolt
from these ferocious exaggerations of the
love of liberty. Honest and intelligent
men are no longer to be duped by these
omrse devices, and Mr. Lincoln's aboli
tion cry finds no echo.
If there be skeptics on this point,
let ns remind them of the Lynch
law which prevails in the North;
of the way in which the Indians are still
hunted down ; of the decree published but
the other day by the Governor of Mince
rota, offering a reward of twenty five dol
lars for every Indian scalp. These are
disagreeable things to happen among a
people who profess to be fighting for the
abolition of slavery ; and were that people
to triumph the poor negro would find their
way to liberty a path of thorns.
But the first Europeau , ,power which
shall recognize the Confederate States will
have a right to obtain much more for the
negro than the federate could secure for
him through their " Union by victory."
The first power being France, we may be
sure that the cause of civlization, human
ity, and progress will not be forgotten by
her. All that is difficult, even impossible,
while the conflict rages, will become easy
with the return of peace. The emancipa
tion of the blacks, the complete abolition
of slavery can only be the work of peace
BDi of time, and an alliance with the
South will effect that great social renova
tion which England, with her " right of
search," has so vainly sought to bring
about."
Moreover, slavery cannot possibly be
made a serious argument against the re
cognition c f the Scir.b. France and Eng
land live on good terms with Spain and
Brazil ; they even protect Egypt and Tur
key, and these countries maintain slavery
with no show of a disposition to abolish it.
France will nee her influence to secure the
gradual emancipation of the slaves with
out making slavery a ground for refusing
recognition.
The North, made keen eyed by selfish
nese, has certainly foreseen this ; and the
famous Monroe
: doctrine is nothing more
nor lees than a policy of insurance against
civilization. What has become of those
glorious days when the fierce and touchy
patriotism of the Americans boasted of a
confederacy free from public debt, of those
days when political liberty in no wise
trammeled individual liberty, and the free
citizen of a free State roam e i freely over
a free soil ? What has the North done
with the prestige and the glory which it
used forever to parade before the dazzled
eyes of European populations, scarce able
to believe in the existence of so mach hap
piness and liberty ?
They have all been sacrificed to the
Union "Perish liberty, rather than that
we should lose the provinces_ that support
us t Let as mortgage the finances of the
future, but let us not give up the scateg
which fill the coffers of • the treasury :
What though they long to leave us ; we,
we the men of the North will never eon
sent to it I" And So, were the Union re•
constructed today, its debt would almost
equal the debt of England ; the free soil
has been disgraced by daily and audacious '
attacks upon personal liberty ; the title
of American citizen offers no prote(td„,,
and imposes no sacred duties upon him
who wears it.
The "model republic" exists only as a
memory, and those who love it are left to
cherish the image of a greatness and a
grace forever gone.
The pride of the North will never stoop
to admit the superiority of southern men ;
and yet it ie from these that the Union
drew its best statesmen and the majority
of its Presidents. The pride of the North
will bend only to necessity, because it has
not kept pace with the progress of the age.
To-day the Americans of the North are as
completely foreign to the family of na
tions as they were twenty years ago. They
understadd nothing but the narrowest and
most mechanical mercantilism, the art of
purchase and sal . OT , attd ft . h'hy long to an
nihilate the Confederate States in order
that theSguth, by its intelligence, its en
.
terprolec-and the talent" of Its statesmen
stay not throw down the :rampart it has
built up against Europeanipm. It was by
Northern.men th4t Juarez was and is en
houraged-to'persever& in his resistance—
but the other day, at Frankfort` their con
sul,
on a public and solemn_ occasion raised
the flag of the fallen President of Mexico,
and although the changes which have to.
ken place in Mexico have not yet been
diplomatically published and recognized,
this suspicions piece of bravado proves
that the sylipathies of the Nzrth would
seize npon peace as the opportunity for
throwing men and money upon' the coun
try in which France is seeking to found a
new empire.
The American war, from which France
has suffered more than England, can be
useful to us only if the North and South
part company definitely ; and for these
reasons:
1. The Confederate States will be our
allies, and will guarantee us against at
tank by the North.
_2. IS:Nalco, developed by oar efforts,
and sheltered from the attacks of the
North, will reward all our hopes.
3. Our lactoriea will bo ensured the sup
plies which they absolutely require.
Were the American war to end other
wise, all the adventurers whom peace
would let loose would simply ding them
selves into Mexico, and all that we have
gone so far to secure would be gathered
in by the men of the North.
The American question is not one of
those that can be deterred for solution to
a more covenient season.
It has been put to 08 point blank : it
must be settled peremptorily.
Every one now admits that Europe can
live in peace under a perpetual imminence
of questions—Eastern, Roman, Ducal
Holstein, and others—because no one can
see his way to any sharp and definite solu
tion of those great international problems.
Moreover, the interests disturbed by
those questions are either religious or po
litical : they are not commercial ; and
they can be discussed. Now, in politics
whatever can be discussed need not be
peremptorily dealt with. Time is the
great allayer of political and religiousemo
tions.
The American question, we repeat, has
been peremptorily put, and it will be coin•
pletely answered. Now, there is no pos
sible peace in the recomdruction of the
Union. The two elements have disengag
ed themselves and cannot be recombined
The North, whether in the 'domain of
arms, of ideas, or of production, cannot
and will not absorb the Sonth.
We Bee, then, that neither peace nor
absorption nor conquest is possible. There
is nothing left but seers ;ton at the end of
the war.
While the Americans of the North could
make Europe believe they were fighting
against rebels it was the duty of Europe
to let them go on, despite the sufferings
to which Europe was exposed by the con
test ; but the States of the South have act
forth their policy, their purposes, their
rights ; they deli e separation ; they re
fuse to enri3ll the North ; they have de.
termined to live their owr life. The North
American exaggeration of commercial in
terests has borne its fruits, and the South
purposes to reconstitute its national sys
tem with an eye to its own interests. Now.
since those interests conform to those of
France, since the cause of the South if
not only just, but logical, France does not
hesitate to declare her sympathies, and her
first act of sympathy naturally must be
the recognition of the Confederate States.
Recognized by France, the strength of
those States is quintupled at once, and
their adversaries lose all that they gain.
For other States are waiting to follow the
example of France ; among the commer
cial powers of the second rank many de
sire the establishment of a Confederate re
public as a means to the decentral.zation
of the Union. These powers,
hitherto
kept aloof by the phantom of slavery, will
follow France, because the whole world
knows that France lends her aid only to
works of social progress.
These powers wilt naturally be joined by
Spain, which possesses Havana ; Austria,
which will be more directly involved in
the affairs of the new world if she accepts
the Moican throne for Maximilian, must
likewise recognize the Confederate States.
And England will then do what we have
done. She will recognize :he South.
The Northern States will no longer per
severe in a strife henceforth become hope
less.
The navy of France is an argumen
which, in case of necessity, would euppor
her diplomatic action.

The following highly important corree
pondence appeared in the Carlisle rolun

CARLISLE, Sept. 18, 1863.
Hon GEO. W. WOODWARD :
Dear Sir :—I have been informed that
Hon. Lemuel Todd, who presided over the
Convention which renominated Hon. An
drew G. Curtin, in addressing a ratifica
tion meeting, held recently in this county,
stated that he had been informed that a
certain Judge Hall said, that in a recent
conversation with him, you had avow
ed yourself a believer in the doctrine of
secession, and in favor of an immediate
recognition of the South.
While I am fully satisfied that you have
never held or avowed those sentiments, I
deem it important that your friends should
have authority to contradict the statement.
Will you, therefore, be kind enough to in
form me whether you ever held such a
conversation with Judge Hall?
Very respectfully,
III:FUS E. SHAI'LEV,
Chairman of Democratic Standing Corn
mitiee of Cumberland County.

Dear Sir :—Just returned from Easton,

There is not a word of truth in the story.

Ridge WOODWARD, the Democratic can
didate for Governor, has been charged by
his enemies with a desire to extend the
legal period in which a foreigner can be

to naturalized citizens.
Elsas Is THE REFUTATION : the following
letter was received on Saturday last by a
gentleman of this city :
PE ILADELPIIII, Sept. 24th, 1863
Dear Sir: Yon ask m., "Are you in favor of
extending the period of naturalization beyond
the present legal term of five years ?"
I am not. I would not extend it one
hour beyond the period now fixed by law. You
may mane what use of yeur question and answer
that you please. Very truly yours.
Ono. W. WOODW 1111).
That, we thipk,.is concise and conclusive.
Nothing more can be desired on that
point. But let us see how the Harrisburg
" jobber," that is too corrupt for STANTON
to associate with—let us see how he stands
about the naturalization question :
In I he swore solemnly: "I WILE. NOT

'SIX HUNDRED THOUSAND MORE
The Abolitionists forced ihr Pre.ident to
issue his Emancipation Proclamation, by
promising him `nine hundred thousand
volunteers," but after he obliged,;,the.rn,
instead of thnir giving any aid at. all, they
forceila conscription to raise troops to en
force their policy. The news now is that
"six hundred thousand"
. more are to be
drafted, in order to make our army com•
plete.
The New York Tribune, the other day,
remarked of the war :
"It has saddled us trial a d , bt that will take
bread from the mouth of every I. kboring man's
child for generations, and rend millions human'
to bed."
It has indeed saddled us with u debt,
but that burden has not yet reached its full
proportions. Wait for another two years'
and a half of blood and death, and we may
well begin to talk of going hungry to bed.
And all for what ? to enable fanatics to
experiment in schemes of negro equality.
Let the poor man and his children go sup•
perless to bed, because his means are re
quired to meet crushing taxation, and all
to carry out the bloody programme of
emancipation and lasting war. Truly the
first Abolition Administration which has
been in existence in cur country—and it
too, in opposition to nearly a million of a
cusjority—has, so far, prof - -d an expen
sive luxury. With its success came civil
war,'and withits continuance in power
will come the country's utter ruin. •The
programme of the Radicals is nothing but
the continuance of the war until the South
erupeople are exterminated and their slaves
made free ; and to accomplish these purpo
ses, conscriptions of "six hundred thous
and" more will be enforced until theirinfer.
nal designs are accomplished. BEN WADE,
the ruffian Senator from Ohio, at whose
instance VALLANDIGIUM was arrested, and
who is one of the radical set who controls
the Administration, in a speech at Mari
etta on the 24th inst.., avows his determin
ation to continue bostilitea for the purpose
of which we have been treating, he re
marked :
' I shall fight this fight as long as I have breath,
or until tho bonds shall fall fro_u every human
being in tho Us:tiled S totes, and there will be no
such roproaghi , u r glorious inotitutions so
the poax ibi ity of a slave misting within our .iu
riotliv ion."
By the time we get through with this,
we may begin to figure up our debt, and
then retire hungry to bed, if we have am/
lo go to
e reprint the followihg
from yesterday's paper, to correct ma
terial errors in it :
TWO II USDRED MILLION' DOLLARS
The Dispatch, after eight days' tribula
tion, has something to say about 11,n aar
tax. It admits admission
that Pennsylvania's share will be . 7.:*.!,(10,-
000,0000. But the I lispatch says;
"Cron what data does lhe Post fix this esti.
mate Where dots it tidd authority :ur the
statement that Pennsylvania's share of the war
debt will he liva hundred milli.us, and of the
Pension List fur millions ^"
President LiNcoi.x, in fixing his de
mand for troops, has fixed the share of
Pennsylvania at ozit: isrtt of the whole
—that is our authority for the apportion
meat. Is it good, Mr. Diseeiren ?
Our authority for making the share of
Pennsylvania ~ F ,:600,000,000, is that the
whole dipt of the Union will be $200t1,.
000,000 r •of which ONE SIXI II is 600,-
000,000, and the way we fix the
sum of the Federal war debt at
$3,000,000,000, is that everybody has
computed the war expenses at $3,0"0,-
000 per day, and the war on the first of
January next will have lasted 1,000 days,
which makes $3,000,000,000. That is the
way we figure. Moreover, on the 20th of
June last, Mr. Curie had AUDITED $1,200,•
000,0011, or $50,000,000 a month—does
aoy body believe that half the amount ex•
pended was audited I Let the people who
have unsettled claims answer this.
We have said before that Mr. LIN - COLN
is our authority for fixing the quota of our
State, but yet the Dispatch presumes to
say that cur share ia Pennsylvania is too
high at 5600,000,000 Will it dare to
publish our table and other ligurcs show•
iug that five hundred tnillious is the
proper cur. 7
Up to the Id of Rep!c tuber !art, ITii,uoo
Pension Claims were allowrd by the Sur
geon GE n.:7al. This list will be Mereased
to 250,000. This at S a mouth is 324,
000,000—and UNE SIXTII of this is four
millions. That's the way we figure—
can the Dispatch figure more correctly"
HE IS NOT A SAINT
The Commercial yesterday, in defend
ing its shoddy candidate from the charg
of gouging the soldiers, whose par ex
cellence friend he now pretends to be
remarked :
- We do not claim that Governor CURTIN is a
saint—like all mortals, ho is liable to err—but
that ever a cent went into bin pocket that ought
to have gone to :he snldieiF in the field, we pro
nounce to be a Lase, witntoi.., wicked and infa
mous tal:ehoud."
The Pitteturgl - . Cazi tic in 11,p following
paragraph, rCil.!9 Llll Lcw Li: Excellency
did it :
"We have eutleal ored to eh ow that ho imposed
upon the so:diers by farming them out to Lis
friends, and then deny ing that he had employed
them. We have ex hibi e d the record to cs•abdsh
the fact that he had approved . a 1 ill. acknowl
edged by him to be wrong, which robbed the
treasury of many millions f m - ney; that as the
condi t inn of his approval he had taken an agree
meet for the :tate, which he abstracted and se•
aretly surrendered to the parties wbo had given
it; and that, when interrogated by the Legisla
ture, ho unfened the act, and offered, as hit
apology, a reason which is shown to have been
untrue."
Is it likely that ANDREW G. CURTIN,
whose reputation was bad before he be
came Governor, did all this merely to
benefit his friends, without having an in
terest in it himself? The editor ot the
Commercial, who knows something ot
the manner iu which "things are done"
in Harrisburg, knows that CURTIN is not
altogether indifferent to self.
ROSECRA S' DEFEAT.
This most unfortunate and untime•.y re
verse, is undoubtedly to be attributed to
the efforts of the Administration to delta,
VALLANDIGHA3I in Ohio. It is asserted
that 30,000 men who should have been
with BURNSIDE and 110SECRA-NS are in Ohiu
electioneering and waiting to vote for
BROLGII. Of course, no man who will not
promise to vote for the Abolition candi
date can remain. Such persons would b e

THE TRIUMPH OF ABO t ITIONISM
THE DESTRUCT lON OF THE
UNION,
- -
tho 7" ;:peole of Pennsylvania and
tbrii3e of
.the other States which hold
elections in October and November, en
dorse by:their, suffrages, the present Na
tional Administration, by electing Aboli•
tion'Governors we may conclude.that this
Union's restoration is beyond all hope.
The rebel leaders, like Jeff Davis, are as
anxious for the success of the Abolition
ists in our approaching elections, as they
are for themselves, because in the event
of the Democracy being successful, the
masses South would take heart at the
prospect of approaching peace. On the
contrary, if the Abolitionists are retained
in - power, the leading rebels will cite it as
a determination upon the part of the
Northern people to sustain the President
in all his acts of emancipation and confis - -
cation. There will be then no hope for a
restoration of the Union, for there will
be no alternative left the South but
interminable war. As proof of this we
direct attention to the following, from the
Mobile :
"There is only one party in the North who
want this Union restored, but they have no more
power—legislative, executive or judicial—than
the paper we write en. It is true they maim
show of union and strength, but they have no
voice of authority. We know that the VALLAN-
DiOLIAII &Moot wants the Us ion restored, for he
toll us so when ho was here in exile, partaking

tration would do more to restore the old Union
than any other power ie. Ohio could do, and
thertfuro we pray that he may be defeated.
Should a strong Union partyspring up in Ohio, the
third :Jute in ..ho North in political importance.
it might find a faint response in some Southern
States, and g re us trouble. But as long as the
Republicans hold power they will think of con•
que , t nod dominion only, and we. cn the o her
Land, wit! curie up in solid column fur freedom
and independence, which we wilt be certain to
achieve with such sedstance os we may now
(after the refusal of the Washington Cabinet to
confer) confidently expect, before the Democrats
of the C. ort h ones get into power again, and come
whispering into oar ears:' Union, Iteconatructitn,
Constitution. Concession and Guarantee)? Away
with such stuff. We want separation. Give us
Joel MOD like THADDEHS STEVENS and CHARLES
ER. Thelf core, the ob.! Union and despise it
so d o we. And we now pro sise these gentlemen
that, as they hate the Union and the 'accursed
Constitut!on,' let them keep down VALL ANHUI
and his party in the Forth ; then they shall never
be troubled by us with inch whining about the
Union and the Constitution as they aro send,ng
up."
TEAL AND COFFEE.
()ne of the frrst acts of Gen. JACKSON,
was to remove the tax UrOLI TEA and COF
H-.K. lie, too, put down the Nullifiers'
Rebellion without restoring that odious
impost. Our present rulers have et - 'r ox
A I.AsoKa TARIFF on these articles than
lien. JACKSON PCT CFF : as they say, to raise
money to put down the secession rebels.
Gen. JACKSON removed the burdens of the
people with one hand, and repressed re
bellion with the other. Mr. LINCOLN piles
uO the burdens of the loyal people, but
does not crush the rchels. The money
Liscol.N raises by taxes on food and
drink, CI RTIN spends on shoddy and bad
berf.
ANOTHER DRAFT
Is threatened. If the soldiers now in
Ohio and Pennsylvania Rete in the army,
no draft would be needed. AU men who
desire to ece ANOTHen DRAFT and still fur
ther TAXATION', will vote for ANDREW G•
CURTIN.
ICk•O' The Commercial construes Judge
Woonwmto's remarks, that continued war
will " never cement a perfect Union," to
mean that we should give up to the rebels
not only all they possess, but all they claim.
This is mere pettifogging. Judge Wocn-
WARD and his friends are irrevocably fixed
in their determination to restore this Uniot,
despite the joint efforts of Southern Reb
els and Abolition dieunionists, to keep it
separate. This is the platform of the De
mocracy cf Penn rylcania, and to it we
will cling with that tenacity which is cer•
tain to insure success. Our efforts will not
cease until the authority of the Union is
re-established through out every inch of
our territory. While we are thus labor
ing to restore the Union, Abolitionism is
straining to prolong hostilities in order to
render its separation eternal. This it has
b-en laboring for for the past two years.
No union with slaveholders is its motto
and design.
