Programme of the Democra ic State Cpntral
Committee The fieaelUon to b Crnsiei by
a Campaign Asains; the Abolitionists.
In the review of the "Address" of the Dem
ocratic State Central Committee, which was
made iti these columns, on Tuesday last, the
subject was by no means exhausted., That
paper is lengthy and e la borate, and very sug
gestive, ao single criticism is sufficient to
expose thoroughly the false and dangerous
ground upon which it proposes to place otie-
half of thu voting population of Pennsylvania.
We therefore recur to the subject.
It is not necessary to recite tho substance of
our former observations, as they are too re
cent to be forgotten. It is sufficient to state,
in substance, that the ground there taken was
that whatever may be tlij purpose of the "Ad
dress,'" its effect will certainly be to make 1 lie
vexatious, irritating and distracting question
of slavery the so'e eletnent in the coming elec
tions in this State. This is -wholly unneces
sary, and, at ttiis time, pregnant with mis
chief. It can do no good, and may do infinite
harm. Tbe slave system of the South lias
been a theme of active controversy for more
than thirty years. Many ' times during that
long pf riod the dispute was angry, bitter and
threatening. For the, last sixteen . years the
strife upon the subject has been incessant,
yet there has beeu no approach to a satisfac
tory conclusive settlement. There has been
comproraiso after compromise, but no finality,
no end to the conflict, nothing but division.
It first rent asunder one of the most powerful
and popular of our church organizations; it
then split the great Whig party into frag
ments, leaving the National Democratic par
ty as tbe principal or only bond of union be
tween the-'Xorth and the South, It then dis
rupted that, and now lias its evil hand at the
tbrout of the Union. Having thus tdiown it
aelf to fbe. incapable. of. adiustmeathj.vijig
plunged the people into a fearful internecine
war having bronght the American Union to
tbe verge of destruction having accomplish
ed all this evil, it is now gravely proposed by
the authorized organ of one of our great po
litical parties to carry this fatal theme of dis
cord once more into our elections as the sole
subject for discussion. Now, when the coun
try is divided and at war, growing -out of this
very sabject, and when it requires the united
and concentrated strength of the Loyal Slates
to defeat Disunion ia . the South, it is propo
sed that we shall now proceed to use it to di-t
vide and distract the .North. ' When suick
comes to bo accepted as a remedy.: for savit
life, this extraordinary prescription jot.' Mi
IIithes' Committee will be entitled to le
ters patent. :. , ' " "' .',
;; Ilaviug thus exhibited what, in cur jud
ment, will be the inevitable result of acquief
cence in the doctrines of the State Centi
Committee's MAddress," let us once ni
examine the grounds upon which they reco
mend their people, at the coming electio
to waste their eoergies entirely upon an a
Abolition crusade. They say that large ni
bers of the Rebels are in arms because of
apprehension" that this Government is
king war upon their property in slaves,
that we can remove this -'apprehension"
reconcile this "apprehensive" class by
ting down the Abolitionists. ' To that we
pose this irrefragable .: proposition eiihe
Rebels have no such "apprehensions," ,
ing them; it is not in the poicer of human
tnosy to' remove them. We believe they
no such fears ; first," because when they
up their traitorous arms against the Go
ment, their system of slave labor wa
trenched behind barriers more formidabh
any it had ever possessed before. ;: Its e
sion from the territories bad been repeal
at least two acts of Congress ; it had the
crful protection of .the Supreme Coo
friends and champions were then in the if
ity in the Senate, and soon to be in a nl '5
ty in the House also.. The . President i
.he. PresidenJ I
1 if he wished I
: tared,', at 'b'istf
powerless to harm tt, even
so, But he solemnly" dec!
earatioD. that lie bad neither the des T
v
the lawful power to interfere with it. He has
again and again repeated tlis declaration in
ofBcial form. He has most faithfully lived up
to his pledged word. Congress, in the midst
of tbe war, passed the Crittenden resolution
affirming the same principle, and making it
the chart of the . Government's policy. The
clamorous radicals and destructives of tbe
Sumner, Wade and Wilson stamp, were ut
terly, defeased in their ultra-abolition policy,
and went home . howling over their discomfit
are. Fremont's and Hunter's aboliUoc proc
lamations were rtbuked and annulled. Slave
property bas been carefully and scrupulously
guarded by our Generals in the South.
All the Rebels know these facts well, and
knowing them, it is scarcely possible that
they are in arms because of their apprehen
sions" about the insecurity of their slave
property in their States. But if, by any re
mote chance, they do entertain these appre
hensions" with this powerful array of evi
dence before them, how is it possible for hu
man testimony to renio'- ---..-.-
ii ey skeptically set aside all thesj
palpable historical facts, will a successful
anti-Abolition electioneering campaign in
Pennsylvania convince them? They- have
had a superabundance of this kind of evidence
of the good faith of th Free States, and one
additional example would have no more ef
fect upon their alleged "apprehensions',' than
would, the discharge of a Colt's revolver a-
gainst the batteries at Vicksburg.
And in addition to this, the attention of the
authors ot the "Address" is called to thi
other stnbb rn fact. When the Slave State
went into tbe Rebellion, they and their devo
ted, unfaltering friends from the Free States
had possession of both houses of Congress
A successful anti-Abolition campaign at the
coming Congressional elections, cannot by
any possimnry piac them in a stronger posi
tion than they then occupied. How then is a
simple restoration of a state of affairs which
they repudiated, cast off, and rebelled against
to u so etncacions now as to induce them to
lay down their arms ? Can anything be more
prepoterous than such an expectation ?
tKllJ lt.im..rti.... . 1 f . .'
o uo'uuiisiiuie me proposition ei
ther that no considerable body of the Rebels
can entertain such "apprehension-, 01 that,
holding them, it is not possible lor the Gov
ernment or the people of the Free States to
remove them by evidence. But there is no
such thing.- If there are any people in the
insurgent States willing to be reconciled to
the Unbn, they are kept in hostility to it
not by fears about their slave propertk but
by the lelentless arm of the powerful despo
tism thtt now rules their
try. Tiis being the true' condition nffifn.ii-
the tad ics of the Northern States, Mr. IIioh
Esj is jot to divide and weaken themsAves in

hensitns," bnt to discard all unnecessary

W bestoMfthis ranch space and considera

cause we rlret most profoundly7 to see a
powerful orlnization, that is capable just
now of doinlso much good for the cooniry,
throwing aiiy a golden opportunity. It

IMPORTANT CORRESPONDENCE
The following important correspondence be-
j tweeri Francis W. Hughes, Esq., Chairman of
j the Democratic State Central Committee, rnd
I Secrt-tary Seward, will be read with interest
by the citizens of Pennsylvania :
Letter of Kr. Hnghc's. '
HEAn-QrABTERs ofthe Democratic State )
Central Committee, op Penn'a..
Philadelphia Angnst 11, 1862. :
Hon. William H. Spward, Secretary of
State : Dear Sir : With some : hesitation. I
take the liberty of enclosing to you three doc
uments, viz s The address of the Democrat ic
j State Central Committee, of this State; an
I Address this day issued by myself, as Chair
man, and the form of a call for a great Mass
Meeting, ahout to be held in this city. ;
Allow me to say that the address of the
committee has been much assailed by leading
and influential journals, conducted by those
who claim to be your political friends. The
denunciation has been so decided as to pro-
w " - Wh.)),., or - not ft in
iieauonaoie, you can best determine if vou
read it. It is lengrhy and may take up too
mncli of your time, but the address issued by
myself, this day, is comparatively short, and
ns it states positions sufficiently to determine
the character of the former, it will relieve yon
ot labor if you read the latter.' .
As the address of the Committee as well as
that by myself, as Chairman, are both from
my own pen, I should bear the greater part of
whatever reproach should attach to their pub
lication.' Still, allow me to assure you that
thej contain the sentiments of not lesn than
three hundred thousand of tbe men of Penn
sylvania, and I believ of over one million of
men in .the central States of New Jersey,
Pennsylvania, New York, Ohio, Indiana and
Illinois. I will add, too. that I believe there
is no other million of men in the whole coun
try of more devoted patriotism and loyalty.
, I will add, too, tbat I believe this million of
men wi.l, amid political changes, remain pa-
triotic and loyal -If you will read one or
both of the enclosed addresses, and if, in con-
nection with the facts I have stated in regard
lomeir supporters, it will stimulate you or
serve you in any degree to promote a policy
on tbe part of the Administration of President
Lincoln to put down the demon of Abolition-
ism, my sole object in ' addressing von this
(perhaps presumptuous) note, shall be more
than abundantly obtained. At all events,
rest assured that I address you with the pro-
found respect due your high personal and of-
octal character. F. W. Hughes.
Response of Secretary Seward.
Department of State. Washington, V
August 19th. 1862. ,
ToF. W. nuanEs. Esq., Head quarters of
the Democratic State Central Committee of
Pennsylvania." Philad.
have had the honor of receiving your letter of
, uii .a
the 14th instant, together with the three pa
pers to which it refers, two of them being ap
peals written by yourself, and addressed by
the Democratic State Central Committee "to
the Democrats and all other friends of the
... a. cuiisjr lYBina, - ana ine other
being a call for a mass meeting of the citizens
of Philadelphia, the objects of which meeting
win oe to express a Arm purpose to stand by
the maintenance of the National Constitution
with devotion to the American Union," and,
lurther, "to declare hostility to the pol:cv
and measures of all who seek to prostitute the
country to the purposes of Abolitionism, 'and
formally to express tho intention of the Dem
ocratic party to do as it has always hitherto
done, namely, to support tho 'Federal Gov.
ernment in the exercise of its Constitutional
power, and . to defeDd it, at whatever peril,
against the insidious and treasonable teachings
or Abolitionists."
You tell me that some influential - journals,
conauctea by political friends of mine, cen
sure one 01 these papers as treasonable, and
that the others are conceived in the same spir

I am not to dictate a course for others to

that neither as a public officer,' nor-as a

between factions which unite In aidinj
Rebettion
A nation, like an Individual,' can do only
one thing effectually at one time. It cannot
wisely turn aside from the chase or the fear
fuldemon ot Disunion, to pursue any Inferior
demon,; whether imaginary or real. a .
; I think that the wrangles which occurred
among the Crusaders about their respective
creeds, when they sat down to the siege of
Jerusalem, were just as rational and just as
wise as disputes about Abolition 'would now
be in the Army of the 'Potomac in front of
Richmond. What is unwise in the camp at
such a moment cannot be wise in the Cabinet
or in the assemblies of the people. ; r
I am occupied here either in mediating be:
tween differing 'parties and jealous sects, or
else in watching and counteracting the in
trigues of traitors in' Europe. ' But I some
times think that if, instead of being charged
with these duties, I were at liberty, as you
seem to be, to serve the country tn my own
way, I could make an appeal to Democrats
and Republicans, Abolitionists and Slavehol
ders in behalf of our distracted country that
would bring; the whole penple at once under
arms, and send treason reeling back into the
den of darkness from whence it sprung. I do
not know how this would be, but I do know
that if I were in your place, I should try.
I am, very respectfully, your obd't servant,
William II. Sewar.
The Arabs Gift A poor Ar;.i. was travel
ing in the desert, when he met with 'a spring
of clear, sweet, sparkling water. Accustomed
as he was to brackish wells, to his simple
mind, it appeared that such water as this was
worthy of a monarch ; and filling his leathern
bottle from the spring, ho determined to go
and present it to the caliph himself. The
poor man traveled a considerable distance be
fore he reached the presence of his sovereign,
and laid his humble offering at his feet. The '
caliph did not despise the little gift brough
him with so riiuch trouble. lie oidered some
of the water to be poored into a cup. and
thanking the Arab with a smile, ordered him
to be presented with a reward. The cour.
tiers around pressed forward,' eager to taste of

AUSTRALIAN STJPERSTITIOir.. .
Dhring his residence among the black fel
lows, Davies had traveled as far, be. thought, as
500 miles to the northward of Morton Bay ;
being passed from tribe to tribe, like-ja blind'
man soliciting charity, from one farm house
tA anolher.' In Scotland. JBy every tribe; how
ever, which he visited in his journey, he was
uniformly taken for a deceased) native returned
to life agaia; and bis arrival among any
tribe that hid never, seen a white man before
was generally an event ot Intense . interest to
the nati ves. ' They would 'gather around him
in 1 acrowdtind gaze at him for a time appa
rently in silent awe and veneration endeav
oring to discover any likeness between him
and any deceased native whom they supposed
he resembled, asking him whether he was not
that native come to lile again. And when any
such resemblance was recognized!, the relativea
of the deceased, if not at hand were apprised,
of the fact, and a scene of mingled lamentation,
and rejoicing, such as one might anticipate in
such circumstances, immediately succeeded
the relations of the deceased native cutting
themselves with shells or sharp-edged weapons
till the blood would stream down, and the sup
posed dead man come to life again being hence
forth treated wkh. the very beat the tribe could
furnish.-1 ' - - - . . - a i-. i .
On some occasions,however,the black, natives
could not discover any : resemblance'- between
the white stranger and any of their deceased
friends, and in these cases the onus :probandit
in regard to the identity of his person, Was
thrown upon himself, as in stich cases," he was
asked who he had been, or what had been hi
name when he was a black fellow, and before
he died. This was a rather difficult question
for Davies to answer, without getting himself
into scrapes either by betraying his ignorance
of the nomenclature of the tribe, or by ex
hibiting no resemblance' to' the individual
whom he might otherwise have pretended to
personate: I could not help admiring, there
fore, the Ingenuity with whch be extricated
himself out of this dilemma for, being natu
rally remarkably shrewd and intelligent, his
uniform answer in such cases: was, that it wjj
so long since he died that he bad quite for-""V,
gotten what name he had when he was a black
man ; and with this answer the simple natives
were always satisfied. ? ' '- y ' ' '
Soldiebs Ei-ried in THE Wn.Ds.'--Speaking
of the "sacred soil" of Virginia, during our
journey from Warrenton"; I bad an opportu
nity of witnessing a scene that truly entitles
Virginia soil to the' expressive appellation of
"sacred." - A little while before we came to
the Rapidan river, in the depths of the woods,
but a little distance from the roadside, Upon a
little knoll.'Isaw gathered together a small
body of soldiers, with arms reversed, sur
rounding an open giave. It was a soldier's
funeral. There u the midst ot those "rrim
old woods, where the foot of -man hath sef-
dom or never trod, ' afar from habitation of
any kind, a few bravo men had assembled to
pay the last tribute of respect ; to a brother
soldier and patriot. :The sun was just enter
ing his wigwam in the western waters, leaving
behind him footsteps glowing with eold and
purple 5 a beantiful rainbow had thrown its
many hued girdle across the eastern sky. and
from the leafy branches of the wooded aisles a
minion voices were chauming forth an even-
ing hymn of thanksgiving ai d praise, whicby
in tbe notes of the little songsters nearest
little baud gathered around that oVVr
seemed to swell into a requiem rf', to
