THE POST—PITTSBURGH, SATURDAY .MORNING, DECEMBER 10, 1864 Hot Mucft Difference, HADE UP Correspondence. A Curious Oversight. ’«SB®pfe|> BEtjg, . f* 11, Detifaeri&Czgttizens of Pennsylvania : the tardy movements ir npolic authorities in collecting the result dtphe election held on the Bth ult,, in order' to discharge the incumbent your attention to the a majority of 30,081 votes (as I nowlearn from official cir cles) has been recorded against us. This majority is made up from all the votes slated-to have been given in the districts at home, including those by proxy, and all those given in the ■■ armies—negro votes and all—in eve ry form of returns, lawful and otherwise. There have been at least two palpa ble forms of fraud practiced by the BUp • porters of Abraham Lincoln, In order t*. make up this.innjority, .and thus Benuir him the electoral vote of the State. Fic titious ballots Jtave r been placed in the ballot-boxes, answering to false regis tries, the same as has been repeatedly proven to have been the cash in our elec tions heretofore: and, secondly, these - frages of the volunteer soldiers have not only been over awed and perverted by corrupt partisan officials, but the returns themselves, in many cases, have been tampered with and transformed. In re. terence to fictitious votes, who believes that the city of Philadelphia has to-day. or even bad, 99,800 voters legally ami properly registered in her various wards and precincts? And yet that number oi votes has beep counted as thus resident —giving near 12,000 Abolition majori ty in a city that not many years since burnt an Abolition hall in open day, as a public nuisance' The late attempt to exerciae the right of suffrage on the part of tbe volunteer soldiers, has proved a signal failure— FAitoß I would call it, but for its various melancholy concomitants. The doubts entertained by many as to the wisdom and propriety of this measure, prior to its adoption, would seem to have been fully realized. It is impossible ever to secure a fair and full distribution of tickets, so as to allow a free choice to the voters in army service. The expenses of tbe attempts made to do so, are almost beyond belief. On tbe part of State, they will reach at least 180,000; and the two political or ganizations expended fully as much more. The system will always be liable to great abuses, and must ever be un equal in its operation, and unfair in its results. Certain it is, that the privilege ol voting given to the soldiers is a mock ery, when the very man against whom perhaps, he would like to vote, has the most despotic control over those who rule tnat soldiers’ every movement, and could send him at a word to the front i f battle and to death, if he refused com pliance with their behests. Until the volunteer soldiery have the power of choosing their own officers, the right of suffrage for other purposes can never be properly carried into effect in the army. Bad they been fairly and freely left to their own preferences, can any sane man doubt, but that there would have been about the same proportionate division of sentiment expressed by the soldiers' in the late elections, that was manifested by their fathers and brothers at home V It is army vote, (not to speak of the other frauds,) which has given our op ponents their recent beggarly triumph in Pennsylvania. Beggarly indeed— when it is recollected that it shows a falling off of from forty to fifty thousand in their majority, within the last four years 1 Such a victory, and bo obtained, betokens a speedy downfall ah a party, to the advocates of negro equality in our staunch old Commonwealth. Betolu tiona never go bockwarda. It is worthy of remark here also, that a change of twenty-five thousand votes properly di vided amongst the larger States, would have defeated Mr. Lincoln altogether It was our duty, fellow-citizens, to have rescued the constitution at the late elections, if we could. The effort was gallantly, bnt unsuccessfully made And now, in view of all that must ine vitably transpire within the next four years, I feel honestly, more like con gratulating yon as a political party, od having escaped a fearful responsibility, than ottering explanation and condol ence over a-! defeat. After entailing a weight of suffering upon this country, from wipich nothing but the most radi cal measures can relieve it; after hav ing forced into operation a financial system, which is bnt a mask of ruin , that regard, after so mis managing the unfortunate .civil war now upon their hands, as to leave scarcely a hope of saving the Union—it is but right that the Abolitionists, and Uheir instrument Abraham Lincoln, should remain in a position to feel the first frnits of their | own wickedness folly, and meet the curses and condemnation of an out raged and suffering people, when the impending clouds shall mature into storm and darkness. Our plain duty, fellow-citizens, both I as a party and as patriots, ia to main | tain onr noble organization in all its ROwey and activity. It now comprises upwards of two hundred and seventy. ; six thousand freemen—the bone, sinew and brains of the Commonwealth.— Every hope of an ultimate re-union of the States, and of restoring the Govern ment and laws to their original purity and vigor, lies in the progress and ulti mate triumph of the Democracy. We mnsl still continue to act as the senti nels of freedom, and vindicate our time honored principles to the people. In stead of disbanding our clubs and asso ciations, let us increase their number and inspirit their action. Hold, at least, monthly meetings. Gather if and organize a Democratic association in every school-district,and boldy canvass on all proper occasions, the measures of our corrupt and imbe cile rulers. Expose the secret leagues and banditti-like gatherings of our op ponents; and hold up to merited scorn those who, in midnight assemblies, and under kindred-darkness conspire to rob and ruin our country, and at the same time to degrade our people by plotting an affiliation to the negro race. Let us, as a party, march steadily on our accns tomed paths, employing neither stealth nor secrecy; they are unworthy of free dom, who are afraid to defend it in open day. Allow me, in this connection, to add a word, also, in behalf of the Demo- cratic press of Pennsylvania. Always but too poorly rewarded, now, when nearly all the public patronage is in the hands of fanatics, and the expenses of printing greatly increased, itj becomes the manifest duty of every faithful Dem ocrat to support and strengthen his lo cal paper, and to discriminate in his patronage, if compelled to do so at all, in favor of the Democratic press of our own State. There is - a culpable care lessness in this respect, in many of our public men; which is a very proper rep rehension, as well as of remembrance to those who suffer from it. 'Under ordinary circumstances, fellow, citizens, I would deem the present duty of my plape .discharged in this hasty reference toth el ate election, and the • .sequent suggestions which I have ven tured uppp. And in what I further undertake at this time, it is possible I may.be charged with traveling some what out of the sphere of my appoint ment, apd"with entering upon , a field of inquiry, that is beyond it's usual limits' But as my purpose la manly and up >PgbLf bndj Irnay add, patriotic—l may times, (bat the spir .iLpf.flhfeiJyypigeta&e me ypur inaul- gence. , or about the Ist day of September last, forty-four substantial and repnta- blp alttzens of Columbia and Ltizerne conn ties, In this State, were sefzeAby military authority and hurried with in- lliete, at the bayonet’s point, into thedepthsofa distant and disused mili tajy fortress, as a place of confinement. One of them, In a letter to his relatives, In simple words that most toncb every honest heart, thns describes their im prisonment : “Our treatment was inhuman. - When first taken and incarceated in this cell, not a stool or bench to rest our weary ilmb9on;nota cup, or knife, or fork, or plate; and these few indispensable ar ticles were purchased .at exorbitant pri ces, attended with' vexatious delay. Forty-four of us in one 'ce 1, without oven a separate place to attend to the calls of nature, it is no wonder that one of our number was soon laid in his last resting place, and many others prostrat ed by disease.” Four of their number have recently been brought to trial before a military commission, and three of them sentenc ed to heavy fines and imprisonment, upon charges clearly cognizable in the Civil Courts of tbe State and of the United States. With the question of the guilt or innocence of these men, (and I believe them truly innocent of any do liberate infraction of law,) I have in th s place, nothing to do. It is the startling fact that foity-four men, of good repute in their respective neigh borhooda, some of whom had held pla ces of high public trust and honor, should be seized by soldiery in the heait of this peaceful and loyal State, dragged off toft noisome military dungeon, and there kept for months, without being confronted by an accuser; one of them in the mean tiqae dying, as is believed, from suffering thus; another becoming blind from his confinement, whilst most of the others still continue shut up in Fort Mifflin—a damp, inland fort, con structed more with a view of resisting a bombardment, than anything else I A brave old name desecrated; a lortress associated with many proud recollec tions and memories.of our forefathers' struggle for turned into a Bas tile for the uses of modern tyranny! This is not all, nor in my view the Worst of the case—if it is to be csjab lished as a precedent: These men are being drawn out, one by one, to be tried before a tribunal unknown to the Con stitution—called a Court Martial, in which they are denied the privilege— priceless in a freeman’s estimate, —of a trial by a jury of their peers, and of the vicinage I I should impliedly Impugn your intel ligence and love of freedom, fellow-citi zens, by offering here, any elaborate discussion ofthis sacred right of trial by jury. No work of tyranny so stirs the inmost depth of every freeman’s heart, as any attempt at infringement of this precious principle of liberty, which lias come down to us untrammelled and un impaired from tbe days of Magna Charta to the present moment. The very idea of a Military Commission sitting in the heart of our faithful, law-abiding old Commonwealth, to try anything but simply breaches of military law and reg ulations, Is monstrous and unbearable. Onr Legislature fairly bumbled itself to subserviency, }n passing laws punish ing any resistance, by word er deed, to the conscription laws of Congress; and Coagress in its turn has piled en actment on enactment—now endorsing onr gracious President’s proclamations of martial law" and next restraining them—but all the while pointing to the Civil Court* as the proper tribunals to try the clasa of offences newly announc ed—shall I aay, CREATED, by both-Pres ident and Congress—Lord and Masters of a submissive people! I submit, fellow-citizens, whether it is not the duty of the two hundred and seventy-six thousand Democrats of Pennsylvania, to inquire into this alarming violation of those great princi ples of human rights, which even no monarch on the throne of our English ancestors since the dale of Magna Charta, ever yet invaded with impunity; und no administration of our Govern ment ever d to .infringe, even in tbe slightest degree' The fate today, of these men of Columbia county, if innocent, may be ours to morrow. Besides, if it really has come to pass, that the old laws of the land re quire enforcement by bayonets, and the new ones introduced, and abbul to be introduced , need Ihe same illustration and support, it must at least bo interest iug to the people to know it, and be prepared to yield up grace fully all those cherished principles of civil freedom baptized in the blood of our fathers of the revolution, and bequeathed to us as their inestimable legacy! True, we had the boastful announce ment of the Secretary of State at Wash ingtou, that the suspension of the writ of /labea* corput placed every independ ent heart in the land under his gaoler ship; and we had also the practice of Secretary Stanton’s satraps in various places iu other States, showing the same grand estimate of his powers ; buf that military commissions and secret trials, without juries, were to be substituted for proceedings in the Civil Courts ol the country, in cases clearly defined by statute law as belonging exclusively to their jurisdiction, is a state of things which could not have been fully con templated by the people of Pennsylva nia at the late election. We really seem to be fast reaching the condition of the German Baron of olden time, who in order to provide the means for maintain ing his castle against assailants mort gaged it to some neighboring Shylocks, who seized and appropriated it them selves, before the Baron’s defences were completed. Or, in plainer words, in conducting what appeared at the outset to be a proper struggle to sustain the powers of the Constitatton, and the su- premacy of the laws over the Southern States—we are now sinking the same vital principles here at home I Who is responsible for this position of affairs so far as our State is concerned ? The new Military Commander of this •Division, with his own lair record to preserve, and a bright ancestral fame in memory, cannot be acting a voluntary part in them. The Governor of Penn- sylrania disavows all prior knowledge of the original proceedings against the Columbia county prisoners, and all re sponsibility in thepremises. The Judi ciary, if applied to, would probably be disinclined to enter into a conflict with the military authorities, in which would simply be illustrated, that the President and his Cabinet ministers are the Lords paramount of our destinies, both civil and military ! The people can allow—can perpetuate , this position of onr liberties if they de sire. They have the power—the awful power to prove recreant to themselves to become the executioners of their own rights—their own happiness, and their own glory illustrated in the past. Yes : if they so select as a people, they may, in cowardly snpineness, allow ttaem selves-to be covered with the pall oi a despotism as dark and dismal as ever shrouded any of its victims in the old world; and finally fill the latest of those ignoble graves of National lreedom, that lie in dreadful warning along down the great pathway of time !

Its property consists Of eighty acres in fee simple, on Duck Greek, Ohio, in the heart of the weUdeveloped oil territory ami near the famouwDuok Creek Oil Company’s tract, the shares of which are now worth from *25 to $3O and only $4,60 paid in. The Acme Oil Comp/ ny ■ territory is also quite near. The stock of this latter Company is held at a very high orice —from $25 to $35. with a very' small amount paid in. The celebrated “Dutton well” 1b in the neighborhood. This well has flown and pumped mpre oil than any other well in the country. The Duck Creek Oil regions are regarded as fast out rivaling the Pennsylvania Oil Creek and its tributaries, and the quality of the oil from the former ranks about double the value of the latter. It will therefore, be seen that the selection made by the “Muakin gum and Duck Creek Co. 1 * is at such a point that it is almost as certain to strike a vein of oil as it is to obtain water in sinking a well. Besides there Is abundance of timber suitable for der ricks, etc. The Company intend ta proceed at once to tbe development of its land by the use of the best machinery and pomps that can be obtained. The sinking of two wells will be commenced im mediately, which will be sunk at the lowest oil stratum, and five or six shallow wells wIU be completed in a very short time, which alone wIU produce from five to ten barrels each per day. The large capital is set apart for develop* Ing, insures the most ample means for prosecu ting the work with the utmost vigor, and should the large sum set apart for working capl* tal be more than is neededjthet>venplus,as soon as enough oil if obtained for working ex penses, will be divided among the stockholder with the first dividend.
