MONDAY MORNING, APRIL 18, 1864 THEY ARE BEGINNING TO FEEL IT. The rapidity with which the country - is rushing to destruction, is beginningto alarm even those who are' most respon sible for our troubles. The New York Tribune of the 14th inst., alluding to Congress, ha ., 11 been in session for eighteenmon a, without having done . anything except make buncomb 'apeeched, speaks out in a style so plain, that had a Democrat spoken in a like strain but one year ago it would have insured his arrest, and his incarceration •in some bastile. Under the inquiry, "Why do we speak of these things," the 2Hbune says: Simply to warn the people that they must re +wive to step electing to responsible positions . such men as now buy or bore their way into Congress or the country is lost beyond re demp tion. It cannot outlast ten years more of such Government as we have had for the last ten; and, weak or wicked as our Executives have often been, they have generally been better than the average of our members of Congress. The Tribune has put our national ex istence at too remote a period, if we go on as we have been going for the past three years; but our object is to inquire who are responsible for the present awful de genVracy of our national councils? Viten the Democratic and Whig parties, were gallantly and honorably contend • ing for the mastery, 'the former under the lead of JACKSON, VAN Humeri, PoLx, BENTON and Widmer, and the second championed by Wxnsvxn, CLAY, CLAY TON, CEITTENDEN, and others, there were • no such charges made against, them as the Tribune now puts forth against the present Congress. The death of CLAY encl. WEBSTER, and with them the Whig party, were the beginning of the causes of the troubles which have reduced us to Otir present condition. The death of the 'Whig party ushered Know-Noth , irigism into existence, and every corrupt political scoundrel in the country rushed into it;•-upon its downfall sprang up sec tibrialisfin, and under its rule we are now suffering. The transition of the bulk of the old Whig party to Know- Nothingism and then' to Abolitionism, left the most prominent of the old Whig leaders without a party. Some of them ijbined the Democracy, while the re mainder have been in retirement. And this accounts for the degeneracy of the present Congress. Districts, which in phi times elected Whigs to Congress, now return Abolitionists, and there are cratie party, who went with Know- Nothingism first and then merged into the present party in power. Take our SpAte, for example, who noware the lead * .inea in the Abolition party? why SIMONY CKMEB.ON,—ALEXANDER C U- M - MGR, WM. D. KELLY, J. K. MOORHEAD, and a dozen of others like them, who, while they were Democrats, were never trusted by the people. With a Congress made up of such material we need not look for anything from it but what pro ceeds from the rankest corruption. • At the last session of Congress Mr. DAWES' comittee reported, • that more than forty members of the House were interested in Government contracts. Coliuption of this sort was so rife and common that it reached even some whose public virtue was considered im . pregnable. The reader, doubtless, re members the case of Mr. SEHILINS of Rhod . e . Island, in which he made fifty thoniand dollars by procuring .a single gun- contract for a firm belonging to his State. This man Samna. had been a contemporary of CALHOUN, CLAY, WEB- IiTER, WRIGHT and BENTON, in the Sen ate of the United States, and was con sidered as pure in his patriotism and personal integrity as any one of them: but who are now so pure that cannot be redgced, and even he, the last surviv or of the good men mentioned., gave way before the corruption inaugurated under the present Administration. There is another crying evil to which the Tribune should turn its attention. This Administration has poisoned the fountains of public information: it has subsidiized the press of its party, which Will account for that press being almost unanimously for the continuation of the present Administration. Besides this, our congressmen have contracts amount ing to lituadreds of thousands, and needy eons, nephews and cousins entailed upon the country in lucrative sinecures, all of which go to demonstrate that we can not snryive such a combination of ca lamities; for anything like the period mentionbd by the Tribune. The ques tion then arises what's to be done? and are the people ready to start a reform; or will they suffer on and re-elect those to power who have entailed upon the the country its present burdens? THE GOLD QUESTION IN CON- We refer the reader to the letter of Secretary Qua; in relation to the mon etary condition of the Government pub litdied in another column. It will be seen that after three years issuing of greenbacks, which were to bo better, it anything. than gold, our financial Mini nary writes to the Senate offering some tnlggeetionslo relieve present necessities, and - elosbig with a bit of information which is gni te faMiliar to any ten year old child in the country. Without military successes, , he says, all measures will fail, and Mr. !Senator SsEltbfAN, to whom the Secretary addressed theletter, is of the same opinion. Arr. SkEitate.ii 4x pressed a r doubt as to the effect of the Lill. before the Senate, but, remarked _Wit astutepnander, "if it will do no - 400ait 711 do no harm." And yet • CiusE and l SnEux. ii are the two bright gi ns fi nf iciiii- '' lup'ea,of the party in power. , While t ' Ve proceedings were going on in the 8 te, the House was engsg t ed in a discussion upon a report of Mr. BEAMAN, of Michigaitiiin favor of allow ing negroes to vote iiithe 4 pew tertitory, of Montano, which is but be Ining of an agitation to 141 Ow then, vote everywhere throughout .;*ii‘riuntiry. But we areglad t4Cithi.StAdininistra tion is at last imp** With the abso lute necessity of kabihig battles. It has, heretofore, relied upon proclamations; these having failed, let our rulers now ostpone the slavery question for a few months, and devote their energies to as sisting ourarmies in the field. mt. al g An Appeal from Gov. Curtin in Aid of Tennessee Sufferers by the Ravages of Rebellion. PENNSYLVANIA EXECUTIVE CHAMBER, } HARRISBURG, April 11, IRI3-1. To the people of Penneytvania: I have been requested by the Commit tee of correspondence to address you on the subject of the Fair, to be held in Philadelphia, in June next, for the ben efit of the Sanitary Commission. It gives me mueli pleasure to comply with this request, and to avail myself of the opportunity, also, of calling your at tention to the Fair to be held in the same week and for the same purpose at Pittsburgh. I cannot, however, speak of the relief of the sick afid wounded volunteers of the State without saying a grateful word in their behalf to you. Charged by a joint resolution of the Legislature with the duty of caring for them, it has been my privilege to provide for their comfort and look after their welfare. To this end the State Surgeon General has at all times subject to the regulations of the United States, visited with corps of sur geons and nurses the battle fields, and besides the General Agency maintained at Washington, special agents have con stantly been sent to the camps, to the armies in the field, and to the hospitals, and at all times when the occasion re quired or admitted of such aid, the pro visions made by the United States have been supplemented by abundant supplies of bandages, clothing, delicate food, in fact everything that could promote the comfort of our soldiers when suffering from wounds or disease. The compensation of the general agency and the general staff; and the ex pense of medicines and supplies of like character, were of course paid by the State. The special agents, men of standing and character, performed all their duties with diligence, fidelity and alacrity, and in no instance received any compensa tion for their services. I have nevet had to seek for such agents. My only regret is that I have been unable to accept the ogered services of too many men of the same kind, who being disqualified for military services, 'and having freely con tributed of their means to every patriotic purpose, were still not contented unless they could bestow their time, labor and personal attendance on our disabled and suffering defenders. The bandages,_thel clothing, the food, the supplies of al sorts were furnished in kind by you in dividually. On every occasion when it has been made known through the State that a battle had been fought or was ex pected, or that front any other cause our sick and wounded volunteers were lkely to suffer, the earliest trains from all quar ters have brought the needed supplies in profusion. Every hospital within the State has been beset by individuals of both sexes, but chiefly women, eager to tlirougtout the cities, " tol t V 4 l79, -' ,1 ii 7 ,: '' s ' hamlets, farm-houses of the Common wealty, are found the Heaven -directed benefactors whose names are unrecorded. for whose individual efforts no reward has been sought ; but he who has witnessed the results, as I have, must have a heart of stone if it be not melted by their true, unpretending, gentle, persistent, inex ' haustible alacrity in this best and holiest of good works. The object of the proposed Fair is to provide means fur similar good works, and it is one that commends itself to every friend of his country—to all who admire the heroic devotion of the brave men who are bearing arms in its defence. It is understood that the managers of these Fairs solicit donations in goods, saleable aaticles of every description of manufacture, American glass, produce, fruits, flowers, paintings, engravings, statuary and the income of all the peo ple of the State for one day. Several similar Fairs have been recently held, the proceeds of which are stated in the newspapers to.exceed one million of dol- I Jars. Another is now being held in New York, and others in Baltimore and St. Louis are to be held in this and the next month, the proceeds of all which will no doubt be large. The spirit of em ulation has been stimulated, and Penn sylvania has been appealed to in the hope that she will rival her neighbors. I cheerfully bear my personal testi monyto the prompt and beneficial efforts of the Sanitary Commission immediate. ly after seveaal battles, and especially after the battles of Gettysburg, and to the abundance of supplies then furnish. ed by it. Beyond this I have no knowledge of its actual operations, nor of its internal structure or administrative arrange. ' ments. The oppression of public duties has been too great to allow me to ac quire or seek such knowledge. It is well known, however, that gentlemen of the highest character participate in its man agement, and that its objects are patri otic, meritorious and charitable. The proceeds of the Fairs are to pass into the hands of the Sanitary Commis sion, as declared by the committee, for the relief of sick and wounded soldiers, in anticipation of the opening campaign of our noble armies, and the object com mends itself to every friend of his country. A. G. CURTIN. I Governor of Pennsylvania Letter from Gen. Meade. HEADQ'IITS ARMY OF THE POTOMAC„ April 8, 1884,. L. Montgomery Bond, Esq.—Dear Sir: I have the honor to acknowledge the re ceipt of your communication of the Bth instant, enclosing circulars of the "Com mittee on Labor, incomes, and Reve nues" of the Great Central Fair for the United States Sanitary Commission. I feel very much flattered and compliment ed at the honor conferred on me, by placing my name us one of the honorary members of this important committee. It is hardly necessary for me to assure you that I am with you heart and soul in the great work of benevolence and charity which you have entered on. It has been my duty to make inquiry as to the practical working and benefits of ' the United States Sanitary Commission, i and it affords me great pleasure to bear testimony, so far as this army is concern ed, to the inestimable benefits and bless ings conferred by this noble association on the suffering, sick and wounded sol diers. . A few facts in connection with this point may be of use to you. At the battle of Gettysburg the num ber of wounded of our own army alone amounted, by official reports, to thirteen thousand seven hundred and thirteen ' (18,713); those of the enemy left on the 1 field were estimated by our medical offi cers as amounting to eight thousand. This would make in all nearly twenty two thousand sutrerilag beings requiring immediate care "and _attention to save life. ... ~, Few people can realize such hug.* numbers, but if you tell them that should they fllLlthd path' your Academy of Music liit'Pliliadelphia (which holds, I believd; time El:lay-Ave hundred people) Mx times, and then, imagine every soul in this 'immense crowd wounded they will have a chance idea of the great work for humanity on the' field of Get tysburg. Now, although the Government is most liberal one generous in all its pro visions for the sick and wounded, yet it is impossible to keep constantly on hand either the personal or sucplies re quired in an emergency of this kind. In addition to this difficulty at Gettys burg, I was compelled to pursue. the re treating foe, and as I expected in a few days to have another battle at some dis tant point, it was absolutely necessrity I should carry away the greater portion of my surgeons and medical supplies, so that the wounded at Gettysburg were, in a measure, dependent upon such extra assistance as the Government could has tily collect, and upon the generous aid so cheerfully and promptly afforded by the Sanitary and Christian Commissions and the various State and Soldiers' Aid societies. All the additional aid from every source was here most urgently needed,and it gives me great pleasure to say that, from the reports of my medic al officers, I ant satisfied the United States Sanitary Commission, as well as the others above named, were fully up to the work before them. What has occurred in the past may oc cur in the future. There is no nobler or holier work of Christian love or charity, and if the voices of the brave soldiers are of any influence you may rest assured you have their hearty wishes and earnest prayers. Most respectfully, and truly yours, GEORGE G. MEADE, Major Gen. Com'g Army of the Potomac. --......-- Spanish Opinionof the Present As pect of affairs in the States—The Danger to State Rights.
