DKVELOPENEBT OF THE ABOLI
ZION PLOT
Oar readers remember the remarkable
letter' of Gen. Mc Cumr..l,l, to President
LINCOLN, written at Mart/sores Landing,
in Virginia, on Mon day the 7th of Jaly
1862. Although a year and a half old,
this sagacious and prophetic erlistle from
the accomplished General of the Army
of the Potomac, was never given to
thtS public until together with .his
report, was forced out by popular and
congressional clamor. From the letter
question, we select the following par
agraph and ask for it the reader's atten•
tive perusal:
"This rebellion has assumed the char•
acter of wart as such it should be re
garded, and it should be conducted upon
the highests known to Christian civilize
ton. It should not be a war looking to
the subjagation,of the people of any State
in any event. It should not be at all a
war upon population, but against armed
forces and political - organization.. Neither
confiscation of property, pblitical execu
tions of persons, territorial organizations
of States, or forcible abolition of slavery
should be contemplated for a moment.
In prosecuting the war all private property
and unarmed persons should be strictly
protected, subject only to the necessity
of military operations. All private prop•
arty taken for military use should be paid
or receipted for; pillage and waste should
be treated as high crimes, all unnecessary
trespass sternly prohibited and offensive
demeanor by the military toward citizens
promptly rebuked. Military arrests
should not be tolerated except is places
where active hostilities exist, and oaths
not required by enactments constitution
ally made should be neither demanded
nor received." •
The advice to the 'Preeident was bat in
accordance with the expression of Con
gress at the beginning of hostilities, in
relation to the purpose of the Govern
ment in undertaking their suppression.
Bat Gen. MCPLEI.I.AN, saw that the Rad
icals were determined to convert our
struggle for National unity, into one for
negro emancipation; and he, like a true
Christian patriot, admonished the Presi
dent of the danger of adopting that
bloody and brutal programme.. Wag he
not right" Efiti his advice beenialcen,
and the efforts of the Government put
lota' simply to erualwthe rebels in arms,
and at the same time encourage tht
Union feeling then so prevalent en the
South, the country would now be in the
enjoyment of a lasting peace. But this
was not the purpose of those having con
trol of the Administration. Their purpose
from the bciginning was and is the de
struction and devastation of the Southern
country, and in order to be successful in
their infamy Gen. MCCLELLAN must be go
rid of. Ilia letter of the 7th of July 1 , - , 61
insured his removal: it accounts for al
the efforts of the congressional
ma ion of his countrymen, and it satis
factorily accounts fur the persistent ca
iumny heaped upon him ever since.
The attempt of the Abolitionist. , to
weaken the force or McCi KI LAN'S letter,
by styling it a piece of dictation to the
President, only shows the poverty of their
malignity towards that soldier and patriot.
He, eighteen months ago, warned the
President of the dangerous tendencies Of
radical counsels, and, as soon as it was
. made known, that conclave of traitors to
the Union resolved upon hie prostration,
and have pursued him with all the fero
city of half-starved wolves. He exposed
their designs against the integrity of the
Union, designs which Abolitionism no
longer pretends to disguise.
Bni if this serious and sagacious advice
from IlenalsoN's Landing, by the bead of
the Potomac Army, be dictation, what
will be thought of the following 'piece of
icsolence from Fano. DOUGLAS to the
President, and that, too, 'while face to
face in the White House? In a late leo
turn in New York Docul.es' describing
the interview said:
"One thingj.toldtim which I now tell
you; and it was; that if I were called upon
CO point out the most discouraging feature
of the presen, situation, it would not be
any of the distress experienced by it ood
and field by our forces, but it would be
the tardiness and hesitation and vacilla•
tion of the Preeident of the United Sta Ms.
Mr. LINCOLN did not, of coarse, admit
that this came from me, but went on at
once to defend himself from the charges
brought—and there was one charge he did
not defend himself from at all., He ad•
mitted that he was slow, but would not
allow it to be understood that he was vas
cilliating. He Said to me withgreat ear
fleetness, "Mr. Donoue, I don't think
that charge can be sustained."
The distress occasioned by flood and
field," the hundreds of thousands new
made graves, and the countless thousands
of widows and orphans throughout the
land, are nothing, in DonaLas' estima•
lion, to the tardirreall of the President in
adopting the Abolition ;programme; and
for this "the Governnspat" apologized to
its sable mentor. This . account of Doro.
Lea' interview is now extorting the lof
tiest admiration from the very papers
which see in Gen. hleCLsu...aa's letter
nothing but dictation. Encouraged by
his reception by the President, and the
progress which Abolitionism hasrecently '
made, DociaLo : B XwOunced the future
programme of his party—which is "not
only his right to vote, but his determina
tion to be voted for. "After this, equality
and fraternity will be insisted on as the
last scene in this revolution's strong ,
eventful history.
HOW THE REBELS ARE SUSTAINED
The Philadelphia Agt, commenting
upon the late exposition of affairs in the
N. Y. Custom 'louse remarks that it has
for a long time been a subject of much
wonder, among a good many people, bow
the rebels procured means, arms, muni
tions, &c., to eal* 'oir. • the'war. Recent
occurrences have finally claiied up the
mystery. It is now_ Aatohtiehed that Pres
ident LINCOLN'S office holders in New
York, and elaeWliiiire;' iire the very "boy-,
al" and patriotic parties, who *4l , 4j:wen'

parties engaged in this "lcyal" enterprise'
however, were actuated by the beet of
motives, pure Yankee "philanthropic and
hunianitarian" principles; they only want.
ed'tio prolong the war in order to give free•
dom to "American citizens of African
descent:" and they no doubt feared that,
should the rebels be without arms,the war
might come to a close before so desirable
an event could be achieved. These favor•
ites of "OLD ABE" didn't intend those
gnus should kill Northern white men; not
at all; they were only sent to the rebajeto
enable them to keep "pegging away,"
until Providence could find time to knock
the shackles from Samba's limbs. The
wonderful extent of Yankee philanthropy
may now be comprehended; it not only
embraces the negro, but it is so disinter
ested as to extend help to our enemies
ale
THE REBEL LEADERS IN TEXAS
A correspondent of the New York Tri
I bone, writing from Matamoras ou the
16th, of December remarks that it is a
fact that the leaders of the rebellion in
Texas, the southernmost of the South
ern States, are for the most part "North
ern men with Southern interests." For
example: Willard Richardson, of the Gal
veston News, is a native of Massachusetts;
Cushing, of the Houston Telegraph, is a
native of Vermont, and General E. B.
Nichols, the financial agent of the rebel
Convention, is a native of New York.
Scores of rebel contractors and office hold
ers, civil and military, such as Giddings,
Howard, Sayles, and the like, first saw
the light north of Mason and Dixon's
line. Such are the men that some two
years since discovered that they were of a
superior race, and that all loyal men
were "Yankees," upon whom they had a
right to look down with a lordly contempt.
An "exempt" from the interior of Texas,
now in this city, tells an amusing anec•
dote of the last named individual. It
seems that, early in the rebellion, Mr.
Sayles conceived the idea that the word
"General" would make a handsome handle
to hie name, and accordingly got himselt
elected general of the militia. Before long
a conscription was ordered by the rebel
authorities, who prescribed that militia
officers were not exempt from its opper
ation. General Sayles was conscripted,
and it was supposed that so zealous a
rebel, albeit of Northern nativity, would
either serve in the ranks or employ a part
of hie wealth in hiring a substitute to fight
in his place. In this the public were mis•
taken. He did neither, but caused him
salt to be examined and rejected (on ac
count of his short sightedness) for "phy
sical disability." General Sayles' optics
appear to be like those of the man who,
on being censured for shooting at an ani
mal through a fog, justified himself by say
ing he had shot in such a manner as to kill
it if was a deer, and to miss it if it was a
calf. Ho could see wall enough to be a
militia general, but was entirely too short
sighted to be a conscripted private'
Statement of the Democratic Son
The following statement was presented
.o the Senate yesterday by the Democratic
members who asked that it might be en
tared .. _ . on the Journal, and so be come a
...0..„,.,, eenings. This privilege,
always accorded in parliamentary bodies,
was retased by the Jacobins of the Senate,
lbr the reason, we presume, that it clearly
establishes the falsity of the position they
have assumed. We commend it to our
readers as a clear and unanswerable yin..
dication of the course of Democratic Sen
ators. Having sworn to support the Con•
stitcition, they cannot yield to a revolu
tionary proceedings which sets at defiance
both law and precedent:
The undersigned Senators beg leave to
submit the following statement, in vindi
cation of their action during the present
contest for Speakership of the Senate :
In many respects this contest has no
Precedent in the history of the Common
wealth. Its importance to those parties
anxious for legislation, as well as to those
engaged in the straggle, seems to justify,
if it does not demand, a fair statement of
the case for the consideration of the public.
The Senate is composed-,of thirty-three
members. Thirty-two were present at the
time fixed in the Constitution for their
meeting, and one a prisoner of war in the
rebel States. Of those present at the pre
vious balloting for Speaker, sixteen are
Democrats, and sixteen are Republicans.
Before the Senate met on the sth inst.,
each party held a caucus and nominated
a.
candidate for Speaker and Clerk. A num
ber of ballots were had np to the adjonrn•
ment on Friday last, for Speaker, which
resulted in a tie vote each time.
The Republicans anticipating, before the
Senate met, this result, conceived the idea
jof retaining their friends in o ffi ce by ad
( hering to the party organization cf the
'preceding session, under the plea that the
Senate has a "perpetual organization;"
and to carry out this scheme, the late
Speaker took the chair, called the Senate
to order, the returns of the election of
Senators were read, the clerks were di
recited to call the roll, and the Speaker
announced that the Senators elect would
come forward and be qualified. The four
new Democratic Senators presented a

THE PITTSBURGH POST: MOINDAY MORNING, JAN IT ARt 18, 1864.
Every Legislature hug been considered
independent of the precedii g one, and
has invariably elected its Speaker and
other officers - as directed by the Conti
tution. It has been left for the Republi
can Senators of this session to make the
discovery, that a "political necessity,"
under the cloak of ''perpetual or
ganization," will justify an unprecedeu , -
ed and dangerous usurpation for the sake
of a few petty offices.
From this examination of tLe Journals,
back nearly to the date of the adoption of
the Constitution, it is ascertained that the
Democratic Senators have all the prece
dents—nearly one hundred in number—
, to justify their course in this contest whilst
the Republican Senators cannot point to
a single case since 1791, to justify theirs.
And in view of the constitutional ra
quirement referred to, and the precedents
for so long a period in the history of the
State, there is but one proper and incon-
I testible course to be pursued by Senators
lupon this door, and that is, to be guided
by the law and the experitnce of the
past, and resist all violations of the one,
and inovatione of the other, firmly and
fearlessly to the end.
In conclusion, the undersigned beg'
leave to renew, as a basis upon which to
organize the Senate, the proposition made
in open Senate, on their behalf by the
Senator from Berke, Mr. Clymer, on the
second day of the session, viz : That the
Republican Senators shall select the first
office in the gift of the Senate, the Dem•
°cretin Senators the second, and so al
ternately through the list.

framers of the Citleitution, nor claimed
by any previous Satiate, that old officers
should preside over a new Senate and
new members. The Constitution doe•
not say that "each house" shall choose
its Speaker annually, but that is its means
ing and such has been the practice under
it for seventy cad years.
To divest this novel plea of "perpetual
organization" of every pretense of right
or custom on the part of its where, the
Senate Journals have been carefully ex
amined back to the year 1794, and the
examitiatitiii is stated briefly as follows :
From 1794 to 1864 no late Speaker has
ever attempted to vualify new Senators,
and 740 new Speaker has administered an
oath to any Senator elect until qualified as
Speaker himself. At every annual meet
ing of the Senate, all the officers were
elected or ro elected and qualified in due
form by the new Speaker.
From 1794 to 1864, the chair was always
vacant during ballotinos for Speaker,
and the Journals show teat the successful
candidate "took the chair," or was '•run•
ducted to it" by other Senators, made his
acknowledgments and invited rome old
Senator to qualify him.
From 1794 to 1864, all the Senators
voted for Speaker in alphabetical order,
without the official designation, except in
1825, when Thomas Burnside voted as
"late Speaker:" but he was not a candi.
date for re election.
From 17:44 to 1823, in the Journals
made up during the annual organizations
of the Senate, tie is designated as "late
Speaker," and from that time to the
present, he is designated as "Speaker,"
until the motion to proceed to elect a
Speaker prevails, when he is referred to as
'•having vacated the chair."
In several instances there were a nuns•
ber of ballots for Speaker, some of which
were a tie, the chair always vacant and
the late Speaker voting with other Sena
tors, in alphabetical order. In 1842,
there were thirty-five ballots for Speaker,
and mach time consumed by the contest.
Daring the struggle several efforts were
made to elect a Speaker pro tempore even,
for a few houre, but they were unsuc
cessful.
In 1838 is the only instance on record
of a late Speaker entertaining any mo.
Lion not strictly pertaining to the organi
zation, and that was in relation to con
tested seats. but when the Senate pro
ceeded to elect a Speaker, Mr. Penrose
vacated the chair. lie was re-elected on
the first ballot, and "took the chair"
agaia.
In 1855, on the 4th day and on the
twenfy seventh ballot, a Speaker was
ohoseh. The late Speaker was the un
successful candidate. Re did not occupy
the chair, nor attempt to quaify the eleven
new Senatorpresent. They were qualified
by the. Speaker elected after be was qual
ified himself.
In every election of Speaker the clerks.
have acted as tellers, except in 1814,
when a Senator was named to act as one
of the tellers, and, judging from the
journals, they have conducted the eke-
Lions as presiding officers.
In 18u1, 1813 and 1819, the Speakers
resigned their offices near the close of
the sesston, in these words:
"The Speaker reminds the Senate that
in case of the death or resignation of the
Governor, the Speaker of the Sense its
the person appointed by the Constitution
to exercise the office of Governor until
another Governor shall be duly qualified.
that the time for which he was elected
Senator will expiry immediately preced
ing the day of the general election: and
that his oftice of Speaker will expire ac
cordingly at the same time; that from a
consideration of these circumstances, the
propriety of electing a Speaker who may
continue in that cflice until the meeting or .
the next General Asseni6l4 in Deceniber
next, is evident.

ington, whoa° polio/ and measures have
proved so prejudicial to the cause of the
Union, subversive of the rights of the
citizens and oppressive to the people.
Resolved, That we deplore the enuncia
tion of the schemes and purposes embod
ied in the late Proclamation of the Presi-
dent, appended to his Message, the inevi•
table effect of which mast be to prolong
and extend the bloody strife now raging
among the people of the United States;
and to furnish an additional verification
of the worst apprehensions entertained as
to the purpose of administration, to wit:
the intention to subordinate the cause of
the Union to the cause of Abolition.
Resolved, That no State can withdraw
from the Union by its own action; and
that the assumption of Mr. Lincoln, as in
dicated in hie late Message and proclama
tion, that the revolted States are now out
of the Union and are no longer States,
and that they can be reconstructed as
States and re admitted into the Union by a
mere fractional vote of one tenth of their
people cast within the limits of each, is a
proposition at once revolutionary and pre
posterous, manifesting an astounding in
clination on hie part to act in utter disre
gard of the Constitution and the elemen•
tarp principles of our republican form of
government, and at the same time tore
shadowing a scheme through which stu
pendous frauds may be practiced upon
the ballot at the next election, and still
more stupendous fraud upon sovereign
States that have furnished without limit
of their blood and treasure to put down
rebels and rebellious States, ,y ndmitting
into the Electoral College men who would
have no legal or constitutional right to
seats in that body; the :consammation of
which scheme would be so dross an out
rage upon the rights of the people and the
States, as might fully warrant resistance
on their part by all the means which God
and nature have placed within their reach.
Resolved, That it is our deliberate judg
ment, that the enunciation of a wise and
judicious political policy, at this time,
on the part of the Administration at
Washington, to the effect that, any State
heretofore in revolt, within which resis•
Canoe to the authority of the Government
shall cease, should be allowed, through
the vote of a majority of its electors, to
resume its former statue and functions
in the Union, would promptly draw to the
cause of the Union thousands, if not
hundreds of thousands, of citizens of the
revolted States, theredy hastening the res
toration of peace and union among the
States, and saving the lives of thousands
of our fellow citizens now in the field.
Resolved, That the Democratic party
will cortinue their efforts to uphold the
Constitution of the United States, and to
re-establish its supremacy both at the
North and at the South; so that neither
the revolutionary schemes of the Aboli
tionists nor of the Secessionists shall avail
against it.
The resolutions were unanimously
adopted.
On motion of the lion. GEORGE 'SAK
