'v THE 4'DEMOCEATIC" NOMINEES.
The Pennsylvania "Democratic" Convention
- on the ninth ballot, nominated the Hon.
George Woodward of Lnzerne for Governor ;
" Chief 'Jnitfce Lowrie of Allegheny wasrenoro
Hnated'fo'r the Supreme Court- Or Judge
t Woodward, The Bulletin says : "He is an a-
ble lawyer and a gentjtiman, which can not al
' ways be said of Democratic nominees, lie
is, however, a bitter and bigoted Democrat,
' and in the beginning of the secession troubles
- made no concealment of his sympathy with
the South. He ha recently kept quiet on
' the subject, whatever his opinion may bo.''
" The platform adopted by the Convention con
sists of a string of resolutions full of condem
nation of the National Admistration. Bat
lhe;peace" orators did not dare to offer
' "peace" resolutions,' snd the platform em
phttically denies that the par'y would ever
' consent to a peace involving a dismember
ment of the Union. It is worthy of note,
and yet perfectly consistant with Democratic
' policy, that the resolutions contain not a word
of condemnation of the rebels, no allusion to
to the fact that at the moment they were a-
' doptedj'the soil of the State was actually de
secrated by them ; nothing to excite detesta
tion of treason and rebellion ; no expression of
"regret for the miseries the war has brought
upon the qonntry ; not a single syllable of sym
pathy or encouragement for the soldiers who
are offering their lives for the Union. They
, are made up of mere partisan abuse of the ad.
ministration and the measures it has adopted
. against the Rebels, plainly showing that the
sympathy of the Convention was with the
South, rather than with the Government of
the Union. Judge Woodward's term as a
Justice of the Supreme Court will not expire
. until December, 1864. Should be be elected
Governor, he would have to resign his Judge
ship, and be could appoint his own sucessor
for the vacancy of about one year."
-g a cxraious set of patriots.
The Pennsylvania Democratic State Con
vention, held at IUrrisburg on Wednesday.
, adopted resolutions violently denouncing the
war policy of the government, but failed even
by so much as an implication to condemn the
invasiou of Pennsylvania by armed insurgents,
leaving the public to doubt whether, after all,
the "democracy" did not expect and desire
the presence of Jenkins and his rough-riders
at the State capital, as preferable to that of
, Govenor Curtin and our loyal soldiery. - The
Convention also denounced, with especial ve -heraence,
that part of the national policy look-
. fug la the employment of negroes in the
national defence, and the subjection of sla
very, in all its relations, to the risks and pen
, allies of the war it his evoked. Yet at that
Jvery hour stout negro arms were building, with
in sight of the place where this Convention
met, fortifications for the defence of the cap
ital, and a company of colored citizens from
Philadelphia, embracing men of character and
means, were asking at the hands of Gen. Couch
permission to fight for the preservation of the
lives and property of these Tery "democrat.'

T .. IMPORTANT CORRESPONDENCE. , .
On our first page, to day, will be found , the
resolutions of the Albany,.. X. Y., so-called
Democratic meeting, which were forwarded to
the President,and Mr. Lincoln's reply thereto.
The President's review of these resolutions
is a plain; staight forward answer; worthy its
source. It is a noble and imperishable monu
ment of generous sentiment and true ; mag
nanimity in the President, that in such a cri
sis as must tax all his faculties to meet the
Uremuadoas responsibilities of his high , posi
tion, be could conceive the .. . purpose to
write such s paper in answer to such men. . We

A VOICE FROM DELAWARE. .
The great Union Mass Meetiug'at Dover on
Tuesday the 16th was presided over by Gov.
Cannon, and addressed by James M., Scovel,
David Dudley Field, llenry Winter Davis,
Gen. Rob'l Schneck, and others. The Hon.
N. B. Smithers reported the platform, which
was unanimously adopted a follows : .
Resolved, By the loyal people of the State
ol Delaware, in mass assemblage met, that in
this contest we know no issues except the
preservation or destruction of the American
Union ; that we recognize no parties sve
thos that are for our country or against it.
Resolved, That there is no interest which
is not subservient to the public good, no right
of person or property which is uot subordin
ate to the public safety." - -
Resolved, That to the Administration is in
trusted the maintenance of the unity of the
Great Republic, and that this war should not
terminate until the flax of th United States
shall wave in undisputed supremacy over the
whole land.
Resolved, That to this end we invoke the
National Government to employ.all the means
in its power, having regard only to the usages
of civilized warlare.
Resolved, That we cavil not at its measures,
nor embarrass its. operations by collateral is
sues ; but, having full confidence in its in
tegrity and capacity, and asking only that it
shall save the national life, at whatever cost
of men and money, we pledge to its support
the co-operation of our arms, our means, and
our votes.
The speaking at the meeting was admirable,
and by the right class of men men of -Maryland,
who, like those of Deleware, are casting
the cords of slavery from them.
Hon. Winter Davis spoke at length and
with great power. We quote a single para
graph. ,
"The slavery malaria still rests over the
head of Delaware. It indisposes you to ac
tion, to every manly resolve.: Unconsciously
you are suffering in the atmosphere. My
friends of Delaware, you must clear yourself
of that malaria before your hearts aro right
within the nation. There was a time whea
men fc'ere ashamed to avow that they were ab
olitionists. I am not ashamed to avow it.
Tremendious npplanse. Wiien the rebel
lion took up the sword for. slavery . 1 took up
the sword against slavery. Renewed cheer
ing. One ot the best acts of Mr. Lincoln
was bis message advising the people of the
Border States to shuffle oti the mortal coil of
slavery, and to come out into the light and
life of freedom and happiness. Cheers. If
the slaveholders of Maryland are not willing
to receive compensation for their negroes, we
will take them without compensation. Ap
plause. They refused once to receive com
pensation, let the matter rest there. They
put their negroes at their own valuation : I
will take them at mine, and that's nothing."
Applause.
At the close of Mr. Davis speech, Col. Wil
mer, of the Sixth Deleware regiment, propos
ed "three cheers for the emancipation of Del
eware," which were given vociferously.
Judge Bond, of Baltimore, followed in a short
and humorous speech, defending the emanci
pation policy and other measures of the Ad
ministration,' and introducing many illustra
tions which were received with great satisfac
tion.' The closing speech was made by Gen
eral Schneck of Ohio. In the course of his
remarks he said : ' -';' ' :
Tou peopie of Deleware have memories.
We of the West have hopes. But our memo
ries and hopes ' concern the same subject.
One of your bjst memories is that which
reminds you that here, upon this spot where
we now stand, a tcry named Cheney Cloud
was hung during the revolutionary war, fot bis
nostillity to our fathers. Ue deserved to be
bung. Then what, in the name of God, would
you say of the scoundrel who would now,
when these institutions have ripened which
our fathers suffered so much to establish,' a-
rise to strike them down, : and deprive us ; of
our nationality , ? Cheney Cloud was a gen
tleman and patriot compared with the copper
head of this day. Applause. I hold that
in these times there is no middle ground.
He who does not give his influence for bis
country that far fails in his duty, and should
be treated accordingly. Treason is a crime
a crime of the blackest character.' Bnt if trea
son be crime," sympathizers with treason are
criminals. The sooner we understand that
the better. -, .
, This meeting adds one more to the ncmcr.
ous testimonies that we have bad that no man
can be a friend pi" his country, without being
an opponent of Slavery. Alike in the . Slave
States and the Free States this principle is
exemplified in every possible form. ? In Mary
land and Missouri the lines are clearly defined
Emancipation and. Union on one side, Sla
very and Sessesion on the other ; and on that
issue their elections have turned, and will con
tinue to turn. . In Delaware it is the same,
and the same issue will soon divide the peo
ple of Kentucky and Tennessee. , . ;
In the free States Slavery ; and Democracy
have become so identified that they must sur
vive or perisb together. . This accounts for
the opposition of the leaders of that party to
the war, and to the subjugation , of the rebels;
for they know very, well that if ther national
arms are successful, Slavery will be abolished
as a political power at once, and as a Do
mestic institution in a short, time, and when
Slavery falls, down goes their party. Slavery,
the Rebel Confedercy and Democracy are in
the same boat, and to save one they must save
all. A Copperhead is one who would sacri
fice bis country to save his party.. ;

The Rebel Invasion of the North.
THE SITUATION OF AFFAIRS. ;. "
Last week we announced that the rebels
were about to invade Pennsylvania, since
which time the most intense excitement lias
prevailed throughout the country. The ru
mors and accounts are, however, so conflicting
that it is almost impossible to give a correct
statement of the true position of affairs. But
it is an established fact, that the -invasion of
Pennsylvania did take place. A rebel caval
ry force of some 2,500 advanced . upon and
took.posession' of Chambersburg, extending
their pickets about six miles on this side, j
They" remained there several days, and during
their stay they ordered he merchants to o
pen their stores, when they helped them
selves to such articles as they fancied; pay
ing for the same in rebel script. On leaving
the place on Wednesday, they took with them
all th medicines, boots and shoes, and cloth
ing that they could find in the town, and
made their way back towards the Potomac.
Since then rumors have been numerous as
to their whereabouts. It appears that they
are in small bodies moving hither ui'd thith
er, : plundering. One party advanced upon
Cumberland, and took possession of that
place, which was afterwards said to be advan
cing upon Pittsburg, but nothing f i rther is
known of them. Another body crossed the
mountains into Fulton county, where they de
stroyed some of the public buildings, and
drove off' numbers of horses, cattle, etc. The
latest accounts, however, locate most of these
marauders in different towns in Maryland, and
one body in Greencastle, Penn'a, about eight
miles from Chambersburg. No doubt much
property has been destroyed, and fctolen by
them. .
As to the whereabouts of . the main body
of Lee's army, nothing definite is known ; but
it would seem that he was somewhere in tbe
Shenandoah valley, threatening both Wash
in g ton and Baltimore. No very serious re
sults are apprehended by the Government
from any movement that Lee can make Gen.
Hooker being'in a position to check-mate him
at all points.
So far as Pennsylvania is concerned, we have
but little to fear now of an extensive invasion.
Her brave sons have once more rallied to
the defence of her border. Troops are rapidly
concentrating at the several points threaten
ed, and fortifications are being erected on the
various lines of approach.
New York, New Jersey, and several other
States have generously sent many regiments
to aid in protecting our State from the invad
ing foe; for which generosity they are entitled
to the thanks of all true Peunsylvanians.
We hope to be able to give a more satisfac
tory account, of tbe true positions of affairs,
in our next.
CORRESPONDENCE OF THE "JOURNAL "
GEN'S- MC'CLELLAN AND FRANKLIN.
From the Telegraph of June 20.
Gen. Simon Cameron at tbe Harrisbnrg
meeting, on Monday night, advised the Statu
authorities to place the State troops, now as
sembling, under the command of Gen. Mc
Clellan and Gen. Franklin, in whose ability as
leaders the soldiers and the citizens have ev
ery confidence. Philadelphia Ledger.
The above item has been sent all over the
country by a well known copperhead corres
pondent of the Associated Press. Gen. Cam
eron said no such thing-.. He remarked, on
assuming . the chair as President of the war
meeting: "Gentlemen there is no time tocav
il about small matters. Time for action has
arrived, I am willing to shoulder my musket
as a private soldier for 1he defence of this
State and city, under the lead of Gens. Frank
lin, McClellan, Couch or any other, man who
may be sent here to command us by the Gov
ernment." This is all that was said about
Generals, and when some gentlemen arose in
quiring how these men would be paid, tbe
General replied that be would give bis whole
fortune fur , that purpose, and also that be
would pay one whole regiment from this coun
ty at once. , ... . . ... ...
In confirmation of our statement, we find a
telegraphic despatch iu tbe Philadelphia pa
pers, .which, contradict the falsehoods com
pletely. The dispatch reads:
Philadelphia, June 17.
Hon.'' Simon Cameron, Harrisbnrg, Pa.. :
It is reported that you advised taking the
command of the State troops from General
Couch, and giving it to either General Frauk
lin or McClellan. Is this true T If not, will
you authorize me to contradict it ?
UEPLY OF GEN. CAMERON.
Your telegram of yesterday was banded to
me last night. I authorize you to say that I
made no such proposition.

June 10th, 1863
'Dear Row: While waiting in anxious an
ticipation for the final despatch that will as
sure us that tbe boasted Gibraltar of the south
wi'St has been once more secured to loyalty
and the Union, it may not be improper, in or
der to wh'le away tbe passing hour, to permit
the thoughts to flit, in retrospect, athwart the
political horison, pud see if those 'dark and
murky clouds, which have swept up from the
North, have not been fraught with evil por
tent in the past, and look ominous for the fu
ture. They may have bad much to do, in the
past, in preventing the dazzling sunlight of
victory from perching upon the banners of '
our Iwyal "braves." after having undergone
the fatigue and trials of the conflicts, and
whose efforts in many a fearful struggle have,
preeminently entitled them to bear from the
gory field the palm of victory. - How- many
times have they been prevented from raising
the victorious hout, as inly true actors can
do, by the tardiness of this General or that,
whotrom unhallowed motives would sink the
honor of the nation to the lowest depths if,
perchance,' he could succeed in drugging the
object of his political jealousy along with it.
I trust, then, that it will not be thought pre
sumption on tbe part of an bumble soldier for
reflecting the views of niuteeu twentieth's
of those upon the same level, iu regard to the
luture welfare of this country, as to dare to
transcend the limits of the sphere which for
tune has assigned "them and uiideavor to cull
some valuable, practical lessons from the
teachings of those w ho have made themselves
notorious for their Joud professions of fealty to
the Constitution, as the supreme law of tbe
land; while, at the same time, their . deids
have spoken in thunder toues their condem
nation. Ever ready, with keen perception, to
detect the slightest encroachment by others,
upon the constitutional landmarks of the Gov
ernment, they have been the first to enervate
the fundamental principles upon which our
republican institutions are based, and by their
treacherous, and unholy lust for place and
power, turn this glorious inheritance into a
tyranny more despotic, and more wicked than
any that has ever cursed the face ot the earth
tince the days of Adam. They would not hes
itate to consent to the dismemberment of the
sisterhood of States aud rear upon the ruins a
thing having for its chief cornerstone the cru
el system of 'jlfrican Slavery. These conclu
sions have been irresistably forced upon the
mind, whtn I reflect that during the past two
years, events have transpired of such stupen
dous significance tc the future welfare , of the
country, which ought to outweigh every other
earthly consideration ; yet, notwithstanding,
these events have been made subservient to
the aggrandizement of, sect or party, by the
political intrigue of belfish, designing men.
We have the most indubitable evidence to
warrant such conclusions, and the reflection
causes the noblest feelings ot our nature to
stand aghast, and shudder, when contempla
ting the prospect before us. . No man to day,
need be Informed of the unhappy condition of
tins country. All well know that the very
life of the nation is suspended in tbe ballance.
That it is at this very moment assailed by the
most formidable array of internal foes that
has ever fallen to the lot of any nation, who
are grappling at its very vitals,and would bail
with demoniac joy the moment wben the fatal
blow could be struck, that could number tbe
unity of tbe United States of America as a
thing of the past. The foes to the Govern
ment aud the nation, are by no means all in
cluded in those who bear arms against it. Its
most implacable and most dangerous foes are
to be found among those, who, while they are
professing to be its friends, take the occasion
to inflict the most dangerous wounds, profes
sing loyalty, they have proven traitors pro
fessing to revereuce tLe government, they
have been untiring iu 'their efforts to bring
the administration into disrepute aud prolong
thu war; and,- professir.g to effect a compro
mise witli armed traitors, as the shortest road
to peace, th-y are surely and stealthily en
deavoring to bring about a disolution ol tbe
Union.
It seems to me that anyjnan who hesitates
as to which is the shortest way to peace and
to wipe out from our uational escutcheon,for
ever.tlie foul blot of secession. is devoid of that
loyalty which should ever characterize and
animate tbe patriot and the philanthropist.
Tbe great statesman, almost with bis dying
breath, at the commencement of this struggle
said, "the shortest way to peace was the most
stupendous preparation for war." The glo
rious emblem of our nationality was first trail
ed in tbe dust on southern soil, and . by armed
traitors. They were the first to raise the par
k'.idal hand to throw down the gauntlet of
war. - No course was left to loyalty, without
distinction of , party, but to take it .up. Any
other, course would have implied assent to
their nefarious schemes. Argument had fail
ed because the traitors would uot listeil. Com
promise was out of the question, becau.-e its
overtures were spurnod and spit upon. Up to
this time many of the purest patriots in the
land tympatbized with the south, because
they were not willing that the country should
be deluged with the pestilence of intestine
war.. They were -willing to concede to this
misguided people even more than they in their
arrogance demanded, and more than the Con
stitution warranted; but to no purpose. The
i3sue was upou us.; .Scarcely hid the boom
ing of Sumpter's guns reechoed tbrough.the
North, till every true patriot forgot that be
had ever' made concessions to the south, or
bronched . compromise.' ..The great national
heart was fired with indignation and tbe blood
of every hero of his country leaped more free
ly through bis veins. The tremendous and
spontaneous outpouiiog of the people, mani
fested the great interest at stake. - TJiose who
bad hitherto shown a willingness to concede
to the people of the south as much, nay more
than they sought, now,' that they bad spurned
with loathing and disgust the sacred guaran
tees t the Constitute, were the first to ring
out the alarm in clarion peals, and hurl their
fiercest anathemas against the principle ot se
cession, and denouuee in thrilling terms the
idea of disrupting the unity- of the States by
force ot arms, much less concede the right of
peaceable separation. Chief among these was
Stephen A; Douglas, and in the last great
speech he ever niad we find the - warning
word; there can be no neutrals in this war,
onlypatriots and traitors." . Whatever may
have been our political differences in the past,
these last great words-of the dying statesman
entitle him to our liveliest gratitude. - '
I What h remarkable contrast there exists be
tween the motives that influenced Douglas
and a host of others of the same political
faith, and those demagogues who are uow how
ling through the land the infamous and trea
sonable doctrines enunciated by the martyred
Vallundigbam. The former were actuated by
a sincere love for the wefl being of their coun
try ; tbe latter would sacrifice all on the altar
of an unholy ambition. In this connection I
wish to notice some few f tbe points takeo
by your own Bigler in a speech delivered in
Philadelphia on the 1st instant, the subject
being indignation at the course of the military
authorities in arresting Vallandigham, and
transferring him to the arms of his dear south
ern brethren. The speech, as reported in the
New York Herald, is bofore me. No man, I
presume, wishes, or pretends to deny, that it
is a just clause in the Constitution which says,
"no- Uw shall be passed abridging tbe freedom
of speech, or of the press ; or of the right of
the people peaceably to assemble to petition
the Government for redress of grievances :"
but is there not a most essential difference in
the exercise of this ligiit, and the disloyal
sentiments promulgated by the so called peace
or "copperhead" party of the north, in their
reckless nnd intemperate zeal to bring the
whole power of the Government into disre
pute 7 The former view a.sumes the ground,
that all are favorably .disposed towards the
common Government; while the latter is a
deadly blow aimed a- the Government through
the present Administration. Does it imply
that persons peaceably assemble, when they
counsel together and openly proclaim that it
is the duty of the people to resist the Consti
tutional provisions t the constituted authori
ties, hy force of arms, if necessary I Does
Mr. Bigter suppose that tbn general public is
not aware that this same Vallandigham, who
he was in Philadelphia to sympathize with,
has made it his boast in the Congress of the
nation "that this was an unholy and cruel war,
waged against an inoffensive people, and that
he had never voted a man or a dollar to sus
tain it"f Does he as a consistent loyal citi
zen recognize the constitutional right, under
the circumstances, of any man to .barrangue
a rabble counselling them to use their utmost
influence to prevent our armies in the field
from being strengthened by men ? Is this a
just and impartial interpretation orihe intents
and purposes of the supreme law of the land 1
Or, in shoit. is this not treason to the Gov
ernment, within the meaning of the Constitu
tion, of giving aid and comfort to the nemy f
Is this A is idea of freedom of speech or of the
presgj which sanctions such infamous inferen
ces ? Just as well might the libt ller.when ar
raigned iefore the lawlul authorities for def
amation of character, plead the Constitutional
prerogative of freedom of speech ; he could d
so with f,ir more honesty than he who is glv.
ing aid and comfort to the public enemy. No
man has ever made himself liable to surest for
any offence known to the Constitution by be
ing unequivocally and unconditionally loyal. It
is useless tor any man to attempt to put him
self fair and square before the American peo
ple, who endeavors to persuade himself, that
there is a radical difference between the Ad
ministration and the Government that a man
can assail the one within the bounds ot law,
and honor the other. It the Administration
has trancended any of the powers vested in it
by the Constitution, it amply provides the
remedy. ! The Government, consisting of the
Ex.cutivc, Legislature and Judiciary, are all
the creation of. the people in a constitutional
form ; the Executive and Legislative to make
the laws, and the Judiciary to determine their
legality by the standard of tbe Constitution.
That document makes it the duty of the Ex
ecutive to see that the laws, thus enacted, are
properly executed. 'Abraham Lincoln was
constitutionally chosen for fonr years to be
chief Executive, and administrative officer of
the United States, and was constitutionally
inducted into office. Can he depart , from the
line of duty pursued by all his predecessors
without making himself liable to impeach
ment? lias any one dared to arraign him for
so high a misdemeanor? It not, is it not
clearly the duty of Wm. Bigler, anil all of the
same persuasion, to give the present "Admin
istration, tor the' time being, an unqualified
support in its stupendous exertions for the
preservation of the best form of , Government
that was ever vouchsafed to any people ; and
maintain intact the unity of the Stales 1 By
so doing it does not imply that any one should
become a Black Republican, or more common
ly, "abolitionist "; but simply remain a dem
ocrat, improved. Mr. Bigler says truly, nn
1der our form of Government, "no matte bow
unwise tbe laws may be, they must be obeyed
until they can be changed," and be should
have added "that those who cannot approve
or the policy of the powers that be, for the
t'me being, must consent to endure what they
cannot approve, and hold their peace if they
cannot endorse. ". It has been said that, "there
is a time to speak and a timo to keep silent,"
and if ever that time had an appropriate sig
nificance, it is now, on the part of those who
cannot gives cheerful support to the Govern
ment. For the wisdom of this reflection. I
would recommend the teachings of the late
speech of the venerable John J. Crittenden.
But l have already trespassed too much on
your time and patience. The subject is fer
tile with useful lessons lor our future gui
dance, and are so unmistakeably plain, tht
they need no false coloring to make them un
derstood., In conclusion I would add that, since the
Government has committed so unpardonable
an offence as to interfere with the treasonable
concoctions of this chief of copperheads, I
have bad intercourse with soldiers from halt
a dozen different Slates, and have conversed
