OUB CANDIDATES.
We to-day place at the head of the paper
: the names of Alonzo I. Wilcox of Elk county,
and Jos. B. M'Enally of Clearfield county, as
our candidates for Assembly. Politically Mr
M'Enally belongs to the Republican party ,and
Mr. Wilcox to the Democratic. The people
may rest assured that they are both heartily on
the side of their country, an that both ate in
favor of sustaining the Government to the ut
terrnost in its efforts to put down the present
rebellion, to protect loyal citizens in the rebel
States, and to save the country from dissolution
They were nominated on the 5th instant, at
Ridgway. Two Conventions of Conferees met
at that time, separately. The Union Demo
crats, consisting of Conferees from Clearfield,
Elk and Jefferson counties (M'Kean not being
represented) met and proposed Mr. Wilcox as
their choice. The Republican, composed of
Conferees from all the counties met and pro-
nosed Mr. M'Enally as their choice. After
this all the Conferees went into joint Conven
tion, and unanimously adepted the two persons
just named, as the candidates for Assembly to
' be supported, (without distinction of party) by
all who desire to give the Government an
earnest support in putting down this rebellion
Proper resolutions were passed, but they did
not roach us in time for this week's paper.
The Cleaitild Republican. Two woeks
since we stated to our readers, that on account
of the Sheriff's Sales and Election Pfoclama
tion, we were compelled to omit the "state
of Wm. F. Johnson" "lines by J" and
aovcral original and other articles." This
the editors of the Clearfield Republican, in
tbeir last issue seem to doubt. We are aware
that they sometimes meddle with other peo
pie's affairs, but bow do they know our bust
ness better than we do ourselves ? We leave
the reader to judge for himself.
We will here state for the benefit of our
readers, that we did omit two editorials, our
summary of War news, and two other articles
any one of which", was of as much interest to
you, as the unofficial statement of Wm. F
Johnson ; notbwitbstanding the false innuen
do's of the editors of the Republican.
One other thing. Wm.' F. Johnson addrcs
sed his communication to the "Raftsman's
Journal." "It was our property. We did not
give a copy to any one. How, then, does it
come tbat Mr. Johnson's statement is publish
ed In the Republican, before ice printed it
Have not they made use of that which did not
belong to them ? Did they obtain the copy
fairly and honestly ? We leave the public to
answer these questions for themselves.
Alokzo I. Wilcox. A. I. Wilcox, Esq., who
, is now a candidato for Assembly, is a son of
Judge Wilcox, who lately beat Judge Leonard
At one time, several years ago,be was a mem
her of the Legislature. lie has for many years
past been extensively and successfully engaged
in the lumber business in Elk county. He i
a roan of good judgement, decided ability
and popular with all classes wherever he is
known. It would be hard to find a better can
didate for that position. And we venture to
, predict, that the people of Elk and McKean
counties, where be is well known, will endorse
his nomination by such a vote as but tew men
could get.
A Game of Br ago. Of late we have heard
a gocd deal of biagging, by some Democrats,
of the relative number of Democrats and lie
publicans in the army. . They say that two
thirds of the army is composed of members of
tbat party. Whether this is a fact or not, we
will not say. We desire to wait until the
second Tuesday of October ; when, if our boys
have the opportunity to cast their votes, the
question will be settled. ,
Andt Johnsox's Opinion. A gentleman on
Sunday asked Hon. Andrew Johnson, at Cin
cinnati, what he thought of that part of Fre
mont's proclamation relating to the forfeiture
of property, and the manumission of slaves
belonging to armed rebels of Missouri. The
loyal Tennessean replied, tbat it was just right
that "a man who will fight against the Li
nton, should not be allowed to own a dollar or
a dollar's worth." .; ' ' '
I A Barkeeper in St. Louis was arrested for
, dragging the liquor of a customer, and rob
bing ! him of $350 in gold. The victim was
insensible for nine days.' A nine day's won
der. " He must have had the nine Uvea of a cat.
The Wilmington city, Delaware, election on
. the 3d, resulted in . the success of the whole
Union ticket. Gilpin was re-elected Mayor by
a majority of 722 out of 100 vrtes.
STJMMABY OF WAR NEWS . v !
Sept: 4. One evening recently ttie Lieu
tenant of the Mozart Regiment, who had his
men out at; work on some intrenchments, on.
the turnpike road to . Fairfax Court House,
concluded to have some corn to roast, and
going over into a field, found a man, in the
uniform of bis Regiment, lying in the ience
corner. .; He told him to get up, but not obey
ing, he ordered some of his men to arrest him.
They did so, and found he had a drawiDg of
our forts and works on which the Mozart regi
meut were then engaged. He stammered out
some excuso, saying he did not thinK there
was any barm in it, dui noi accounting iur
himself promptly, be was taken in and found
to be one of the rebsl army dressed in the
clothes of one of the Mozart regiment, who
had been shot while on picket duty. He says
they have uniforms of every regiment we have,
and it Is by tins means iney procure miorma-
tion. He is in the guard house at t ort Ells
worth.
It is undoubtedly true that the enemy is not
now in any considerable force at Matthias
Point, aid that there is a scarcity of powder
and an absolute dearth of lead among them
there, the missiles fired from their small-
arms being of whatever they can contrive
them, except lead, of which they have abso
lutely none.
A two-horse team came down from the fort
on Munson's Hill, this afternoon, to a corn
field where our pickets were located, and
bitching the horses the negro driver commen
ced gathering corn. He continued his amuse
ment until a shot from a musket laid him flat
upon the ground. The team was standing
there at dusk.
Thirty-eight of the Kent county, Mo., Home
Guard were surprised, some days since, at
Bennett's Mills, by 350 rebels, and 2 of them
were killed and 8 wounded. The. killed and
wounded of the Rebels filled a large wagon,
but their number could not be ascertained.
The Guards retreated.
Congressman Ely was still at Richmond, and
has to tako his turn cooking and carrying
water for the other prisoners. Capt. Corcoran
was lately put in irons for several hours for
refusing to answer to bis name on roll call.
On the 3d tho U. S. Marshall at Cincinnati,
seized the interest of the citizens of the rebel
States in merchandise, now for sale on com
mission in that city, amounting to $50,000.
It is reported, that Ben. McCullough is re
treating to Arkansas with bis forces.
Tho rebel troops around Fort Pickens are
deserting and going home.
Sept. 5. Corporal Dix, of the Third Ohio
Regiment, while out on a scouting expedition,
with five men, .at Kerksville, Missouri, last
week, was surrounded in a farm house, while
at dinner, by twenty-five secessionists, who
demanded the surrender of his party. This
was refused, and the secessionists made an at
tack upon them. : The fight was severe, but
the federalists maintained tbeir position in the
house, driving the assailants from the ground,
with the loss of seven rebels killed and five
wounded. Corporal Dix was killed, but none
of the federalists were hurt.
The rebel foraes, in considerable numbers,
have invaded Kentucky, and are occupying
and fortifying strong positions at Hickman
and Chalk Bluffs. This appears to be the way
the rebels observe the neutrality that Gov,
Magoffin proposed to our Government.
On the 4th, the gunboats, Taylor and Lex
ington, bad an engagement off Hickman, Ky.,
with tbe rebel gunboat Yankee. Two batter
ies on shore, of about 1500 rebels, also fired
on our boats, but none of the shots took effect.
The gunboats returned to Cairo.
Since the engagement atHatteras Inlet, the
North Carolina troops have been withdrawn
irOra Virginia. Many of them are dissatisfied
with tbe war, and those who entered tbe ser
vice for the short term, refuse to continue in
the Confederate employment. -Rifled
cannon of great capacity are now be
ing supplied to our navy in large numbers.
Eighty-two pounders are turned out at Wash
ington and tested by Commodore Dahlgreen.
They far exeeed all others in range and accu
racy.
1 The Union prospects are increasing in North
Carolina. Section leagues exist in every coun
ty, which are increasing in numbers. A pro
visional State Government will be put in ope
ration soon.
In Missouri, the rebels have torn up tbe
railroad track and cut down the the telegraph
poles between Liunnewell and bhelbina.
Sept 6. This morning, Gen. Grant, with
two regiments of infantry, one company of
light artillery, and two gunboats, took posses
sion of raducab, Ky. Secession nags were
flying in all parts of the city, in expectation
of a rebel force of 3,800. The loyal citizens
toie down the secession flags on the arrival of
our troops. Gen. Grant took possession . of
the telegraph office, railroad depot and Ma
rine Hospital. He found large quantities of
cooked rations, and supplies of leather for tho
rebel army.
Multitudes of North Carolinians have dem
onstrated their loyalty to the Government by
comiug to Hatteras to take the oath of allegi
ance. Col. Hawkins administered tbe oath to
two and three hundred in a single day ; and
latterly sent many away without a formal ad
ministration of the oath, not being able to at
tend to all.
Our troops near Alexandria found six brass
six pounders to-day burried in the ground a
short distance from the railroad station. They
were taken to Fort Ellsworth.
Tbe Susquehanna ran down to Ocracoke In
let and found the fortifications there entirely
deserted. The Rebels had carried off the guns.
Sept A telegraphic dispatch dated chain
bridge,, says Captain Strong, of the Second
Regiment of Wisconsin volunteers, bad a nar
row escape this morning. He was on picket
duty three miles in front of our lines, on the
Virginia side of tbe river, opposite the Chain
Bridge. Being mounted and in advance of
his men, he was suddenly surrounded and
taken prisoner by six Secessionists, composed
of four infantry and two cavalry. After ta
king him a short distance to the rear, they
demanded his pistols, and thinking this was
his only chance of escape, he drew a revolver,
fired, and shot two of his captors, and then,
putting the spurs to his horse, he started for
bis camp on a full run, and tbe remainder of
the party fired upon him, one ball passing
through bis canteen, another bis coat, grazing
the skin, and a third, through his left cheek,
passing out of his mouth. Nevertheless, be
made good bis escape, and came into camp
this afternoon ready again to enter upon duty.
Captain Strong fought bravely at Bull Run.
A prominent clergymen declared at Hatter
as tbat should a Federal force invade the main
land near Beanfort, it would at once be joined
by 2,000 Unionists.
A Clincher. The Louisville Democrat says,
in reply to the whine of tho tories about a
country held together by force : "We all, in
deed, deplore the use of force in executing
laws ; but still we can't accept anarchy, and
the destruction of a country. It is certainly
no more despotic to try to save a country by
the sword than to undertake to destroy it by
the sword." . ' - .
Beaurgard's lying proclamation about "beau
ty and booty" justly roused the indignation
of tbe whole North. It ia an enemy now em
ploying wild Camanche Indians, fighting with
tomahawks and scalping knives, which pre
tends to teach us the humanities of warfare.'
G0ES.F0& THE UNION.
The Louisville Democrat ( Mr. Harney chief
editor,) is, as is well . known, a leading Dem
ocratic organ of Kentucky, but has taken a
bold stand in defense of the Union.' Why
cannot . all tho Northern Democratic papers
forget party for one campaign, till the Union
is saved ! This Louisville Democratic organ,
of August 23d, thus meets a question in which
many of the Northern Democratic party papers
have gone almost or quite into secession nts.
The Democrat says : .
"A correspondent wants to know wnat we
think of the usurpations of power by the Pres
ident, and his suspension ot tne writ or Habeas
corpus. ; In reply, we have only to say that we
think very little ol all that . clamor. . These
things are exceptional to an extraordinary
contigeney, ana form no precedents in the
working ot our institutions. General Wash
ington, in tbe time of the whisky insurrection,
disobeyed the writ ot habeas corpus, in the
case of Hamilton, who was afterward a member
of Congress. He was imprisoned four months,
before he got tbe benefit of that writ.
"Jefferson disobeyed the writ, through ixen-
cral Wilkinson, at New Orleans. Jefferson, at
the same time, without any law on the subject,
ordered the seizure of all the property on the
Ohio, belonging to Burr or his paity. General
Jackson disobeyed tbe writ of habeas corpus at
New Orleans, and imprisoned a Judge for
disobedience of bis orders, as Wilkinson had
done at the same place, before bim. Jefferson
nsurped power in tbe purchase of Louisiana.
He believed so himself. Our own Governor
usurped the power to borrow money of the
banks here, and purchase arms, for which he
had not a particle of authority ; and there was,
moreover, little, if any necessity, for the act.
No man expects that in times of such a war
as this, despotic power will not be exercised
in some cases. An individual, in defense of
life, may disarm bis enemy, or kill him ; and
Governments will do likewise.
"The Confederates are daily guilty of des
potic acts, but these do not indicate that si.ch
deeds will be sanctioned by tbeir institutions
in time of peace. War has its own rules and
necessities that . override all others. Let a
people keep out of war, if they want to be free
and enjoy free institutions. II any one expects
a party at war to scruple about a deed neces
sary for self-preservation, he expects what he
will never see. We shall judge these bellig
erents as we judge any other belligerent par
ties, and posterity can make up its verdict as
to the conduct of each, upon tbe irsual rules
of war in such cases. Neither Washington
nor Jefferson stopped at the writ of habeas tor
pus when they thought the country in danger.
"Any President, in the hour of peril, will
use power to save tbe Government, and trust
to his countrymen to justify or condemn him.
We shall not be so unjust to Lincoln, little
as we like him or his party, as to insist on
tying up bis hands by strict rules of peace,
whilst the enemy, trying to destroy the Gov
ernment, acknowledges only the rules of war
and necessity. It would give tbe enemy an
overwhelming advantage. Suppose the pris
oners at Washington asked a writ of habeas
corpus. A judge might feel bound to grant it,
but would any one expect it to be obeyed, or
condemn Lincoln if . he did'nt obey it . ill
Jeff. Davis surrender his prisoners upon the
orders of Judge Taney, or any other judge ;
who would think of railing at bim if he did
L not ? As if any one had a right to expect it."
"MAKE TJP YOUR MIND TO IT."
The Philadelphia Presbyterian, under the
heading of "Make Up Your Mind to it," thus
expresses Its views on "paace propositions
"A gentleman, not very distinguished for
ardent patriotism, was declaiming against the
war as having in a large measure arrested the
wheels ot business, and Interfered with his u
sual prosperity. - A friend properly rebuked
him in terms like these :
"This war has been forced on qs. It must
necessarily produce distress. As a citizen,
you may as well make up your mind to bear a
portion of the burden. You have been accus
tomcd to look exclusively after your personal
intrests ; now you must enlarge your views,
and aid the public cause. The very existence
of the Government, under the shadow of
which yon have prospered, is in peril ; if it
falls you fall ; if it prospers you will prosper.
If, to escape temporary sacrifice, you would
patch up a false, factious, and dishonorable
peace, you are unworthy of the name of an A
merican and a freeman. '
"The answer was a just one. The mercen
ary cry of many is the war is ruining us, and
the selfishness it betrays is the very ground
on which it is attempted to form a party to
frown down the war at all hazirds. What is
to become of our Confederacy, our Govern
ment, our future freedom, do not enter into
tbe calculation. Surely American virtue is
at a low ebb if we are not willing to make sac
rifices, and to bringdown our high aspirations
alter fortune, for the sake of our country.
These are times when every good citizen
should be willing to bring down his notions
to a war standard. We must willingly suffer
as the people of our old Revolution did, for
the sake of the country. Those who cry out
for peace on any terms little dream of the sad
inheritance they would leave their children in
a land divided into factions and rent by inter
minable future wars. No ; sacrifice is noth
ing compared with the miseries which would
bo brought upon us by the splitting of our
country into a number of contending communi
ties. Ifsuchanevil is to befall us, which,
may God in bis mercy prevent, let it not
come through our low selfishness, and our
base betrayal of tbe precious trust imposed In
us."
The Hatteras Apr air. Lieut. Lowry, who
was engaged in the Hatteras fight, reiterates
the opinion tbat tbat affair is one of the most
important events ot the war; that tbe position
was of incalculable value to the rebels, aud of
immense importance to us. Its loss has struck
their heart of hearts their privateering, and
dealt a blow to that sort of piratical business
from whicb it can only recover by the neglect
of our Government to follow up its successes.
He says that the prisoners are in a state of ut
ter despondency, and some of the best inform
ed among them declare their cause lost. They
agree that this event will create a home panic
among the Cotton State rebels, now along the
Potomac, who will rush South to protect their
own shores. The commerce ot Albemarle
Sound may be measured by tho fact that fif
teen sail enter the three inlets daily. .
Vallandiguam on his Travels. A Colum
bus, Ohio, paper of the 28th says : "C. L.
Vallandigham the notorious arrived in this
city last evening, and had a reception not at
all to bis liking, if we may judge from the fact
that be left on the first train. If it had not
been for the efforts of citizens opposed to vio
lence tbe arch traitor would have been taught
tbat this part of the country was no place for
him. There is a vacant bed for him in Fort
Lafayette, whicb we trust he will soon occupy."
Important to Soldiers. The Post Office
Department has issued tbe following : "Post
masters will take notice tbat all prepaid let
ters to soldiers in any regiment in the service
of tbe United States and directed to them at
a point where .they have, been stationed, may
be forwarded, whenever practicable, to. any
other point to which they may have been or
dered, without further charge thereon ifoV forwarding."
' UNION MEETING HT PORTLAND.
In pursuance of public notice, a meeting of
citizens of Portland, Elk county Pa., without
distinction of party, was held at the Store
rooms of Brccden & Co., whereupon the' fol
lowing othcers were chosen.
President Col. A. I. Wilcox. Vice Pres
ident L. F. Powers, Wm. H. Bunker,. John
S. Hyatt, Charles Baldwin, M. D. Jackson,
Wm. Leahy Jr., John Armer. Secretaries
R.'P. Saltsmari, Hiram Warner.
The object ot the meeting having been sta
ted by tbe President, the following committee
on resolutions was appointed. Wm- Garnett,
niram Carman, Joseph Tambini, John C.
Brown, and Henry Dunroire. . t -:
Several patriotic speeches were made during
the evening, when the following resolutions
were presented by the chairman, and unani
mously adopted by the convention.
.Resolved, That we cordially endorse Gen.
John C. Fremont's Proclamation of Martial
law in the State of Missouri ; believing, that in
so doing be has shown himself equal to the
occasion, and that it will afford security to the
persons and property of good and loyal citi
zens, and to traitors, death and confiscation.
Resolved, That in the struggle to maintain
our national existence, we are for supporting
the Government and do not stop to ask who
administers it. We see no neutral position
to occupy, he who is not for his country is
against it and "whoever is not prepared to
sacrifice party organizations and platforms on
tbe Altar of bis country, does not deserve the
support and countenance of honest people.'
Resolved, That the resolutions passed by
the representative Convention held at St.
Mary's in this county, meets with our unqual
ified disapproval. They misrepresent not only
the people but the party they claim to represent.
We therefore repudiate them, and clear our
skirts of the odium and treason connected
with them.
Resolved, that the proceedings of this meet
ing be published in the Elk County Advocate
aud other papers of this representative Dis
trict. A. I. Wilcox pres't.
Patriots. Paul Dillingham, of Waterbury,
in Vermont, was recently nominated by a
Democratic State Convention for Governor,
and James T. Thurston and Stephen Thomas
for Lieutenant Governor and Treasurer of Ver
mont. They havealldeclined the nomination,
upon the sole ground that at this time there
can be but two parties, one for maintaining
the Government unconditionally, and the oth
er for overthrowing it.
" We must for the time," says Mr. Dilling
ham, "forget whether we be Republicans or
Democrats. In such a union there will be
strength and efficiency, and if we differ here
after, let it be to settle the question who did
most for his country. Let us act together,
act honestly, efficiently, and let bim wear hon
ors wbo fairly wins them. I feel very confi
dent that a great number I hope a majority
of all the old parties in this State feel and
judge as I do, and that they will rise above
party as such and stand for their country, one
and indivisible, now and forever. With such
I mean to act, whether their number be few or
many, till this most wicked rebellion iscrushed
out ; and wishing that my opinions and acts
may be in harmony, I have felt called upon to
decline the nomination so honorably tendered
to me."
The other gentlemen say : "In reply we
have to say that we are of the opinion that,
until the present' rebellion and treason shall
bu overcome, it is the duty of every true and
loyal citizen to sustain the spirit and strength
en the arm of bis country by every means in
his power; that party names and differences
should be entirely laid nside, and not be per
mitted to divide loyal citizens or deter any
man from yielding a full and enthusiastic sup
port to the men and measures upon which we
must rely for the victory of tbe Government
and the Constitution over Disunion." .'.
J To these sentiments every loyal heart in the
land,' Democratic, Republican, or whatever,
will cry amen. This is the Democracy of the
Green Mountains, and it is pure patriotism.
Kit Carson Coming.: A letter writer says,
I met an intelligent Englishman wbo is on his
way back to his native place, after ten years'
absence among the Indians on our western
frontiers. During all this time he has been
engaged in trapping, hunting, and all the ad
venturous avocations of the pioneer. For the
last three years he has been the friend and
companion of Kit Carson, whose fame as a
huntsman is world-wide, and consequently has
laid up a store of incidents connected with
tbeir adventures in the West. At the time
he left Salt Lake City, Kit Carson was busily
engaged in raising a corps of mounted rangers,
composed not of hall breeds or savages, but
of shrewd, practical trappers like himself, who
have spent their lives on the prairies, and know
of no enjoyments but that which conies from
wild adventure and vicissitude. With these
Carson purposes coming eastward and offering
his services to the Federal Government. He
selects his men himself, and accepts of none
unless qualified by long years of experience
on the plains. They will be mounted on the
swift Mexican mustang, and will be armed to
the teeth with Colt's revolvers, bowie knives
and Sharp's rifles.
"Swear Him and Let Him Go." The best
piece of satire upon the leniency observed by
the authorities in this section, in reference to
rebels found committing depredations, is in
tbo shape of a story which is told, we believe,
by Governor Pierpont. As the story goes,
some . of the soldiers in General Cox's camp,
down in Kanawaha, recently caught a large
rattlesnake. The snake manifested a most
mischievous disposition, snapping and thrust
ing out bis forked tongue at all who came
near it. The boys at last got tired of the rep
tile, and as nobody wanted such a dangerous
companion, the question arose, "what shall
we do with him ?" This question was pro
pounded several times, without an answer,
when a half drunken soldier, who was lying
near upon bis back, rolled over upon his side,
and relieved his companions by quietly re
marking: "Damn It, swear him and let him go."
Indian Allies. Tbe red men of the forest
are gathering to tbe standard of the South.
Albert Pike, the Indian's friend, acting as
commissioner of the Confederate States, is
forming alliances with the most noted tribes
of tbe West. : Even tbe wild Camanches, here
tofore untamable, are about to be brought un
der tbe protection and influence of the confed
eral government, and mustered into the ser
vice of the Confederate States, it will be a
grand' sight to see a cavalry brigade of those
wild and fierce horsemen of tbe desert, sub
jected to the dicipline of civilized warfare,
fighting the battles of the South. : Our Indian
army will strike terror into the craven hearts
of our mercenary, invaders. Memphis Ava
lanche, Aug. 20.
Seizure of Cheese. Tbe Cleaveland Her
ald says, Marshal Earl Bill and Collector Bal
lard seized, on Saturday, at Wellsville, six
thousand pounds of cheese. The cheese was
shipped from Earville by Harvey Baldwin, of
Streetsborough, consigned to himself at Wellsville-
: At this latter point it was about going
on a flat-boat, with th intention of being lan
ded somewhere in Kentucky, when it was ta
ken in charge by tha Marshal' It will take
pretty lively cheese to get out of Ohio into
Kentucky, without seizure.
' TO THE DEMOCRATS OF CLEARFIELD
' - .- COUNTY. .
We, the undersigned Democrats, believing
that the only way to gain an honorable peace,
and to preserve the Union, Is to utterly crush
this wicked rebellion by the military and mor
al powers of the government that it is the
duty of all good citizens, without respectto
party, in this hour of peril, to rally to the sup
port of the government against the assaults of
traitors, whether armed, or in our midst giving
aid and comfort, and that any half-way policy
or pretended scheme of compromise with the
rebels at this time is only calculated to en
courage rebellion, divide the Union, and dis
grace us as a nation; And believing further,
that the patriotic course of such Democrats as
Hon. Joseph Holt of Kentucky, Hon. Andrew
Johnson of Tennessee, Gen. Butler of Massa
chusetts, Gen. Dix and Daniel S. Dickinson
of New York, and the late Stephen A. Douglas
of Illinois, in giving their powerful aid to the
present Administration in suppressing treason
and rebellion, merits the approval and imita
tion of all true Democrats. We, therefore,
utterly repudiate and spit upon a great portion
of tbe platform laid down by the late Represen
tative Convention held in the Borough of St.
Mary's, Elk county, by a few would be leaders
of our party who in their zeal to destroy the
Republican party would risk the destruction
of this glorious government, and call upon the
Democrats of Clearfield county who would not
have fastened upon them and their part' the
odium of disloyalty and treason, and who
agree in sentiment with us, to unite in taking
measures to have persons to represent us in
our Legislative assemblies who are in favor of
maintaining their government and the Union
(no matter what party or person for the time
being administers that government) at all
hazards and at every sacrifice, and who are
opposed to treating with armed rebels and
traitors on any terms.
