CLEARFIELD. PA.. JULY 20. 1863.
VALLASDIGHAM AND HIS DOMINATION.
Mr.C.L.Vallandigham.writingfrom British
dominions, where he can rail at his country
and its government to his heart's content, has
accepted the nominHtion of his sympathizing
friends for Governor of the great State of
Ohio. He has done this, doubtless, more to
keep up his unenviable reputation, than with
any expectation of being elected. The ad
dress in acceptance, which is dated at Niaga
ra Falls, is thoroughly characteristic of the
man and the class he represents. Stereotyped
falsehoods are repeated with an utter disre
gard of the frequency with which they have
exploded, and new ones invented with a reck
lessness" that can only be the fruit of a pas
sion, a monomania, bordering on insanity.
He declares that after the running of the
blockade of Southern ports, he now "first finds
bimseli a freemau on British soil," and adds :
The shallow contrivanco of weak despots at
Washington, and their advisers, has been de
feated. Nay, it has been turned against them;
and I, who for two years was maligned as in
secret league with the confederates, having re
fused when in their midst, under circumstan
ces the most favorable, either to identify my
self with their cause or even so much as to
remain, preterring rather exile in a foreign
land, return now with allegiance to my own
State and Government unbroken in word,
thought, or deed, and with every declaration
and pledge to you before I was stolen away,
made good in spirit and to the very letter.
Surely Mr. Vallandigham is not silly enough
to suppose that he can deceive any one by
pretending that be had no other motive for
escaping from the South to Canada than an
aversion to association with the rebels. In
the next paragraph this arch-agitator still harps
upon his persoaal troubles, consequent upon
his sympathy with rebelKon, and yet affirms,
inconsistently, that he asks no personal sym
pathy ; that he seeks to be the advocate of a
principle, and atrociously repeats the stale
falsehood that constitutional liberty and pri
vate rights have been outraged by the admin
istrators of the Government. Nevertheless,
be cannot help again drawing attention to
himself as a victim to bis devotion to the doc
trine 6f State rights, winding up his self lan
dation witb another bold falsehood about "u
snrping tyrants who, having broken np the
Unien, (such language in any mouth but Val
landigham's would be regarded as referring
to the rebels,) would now strike down the
Constitution, subvert the Government, and
establish a formal and proclaimed despotism
in its stead."
Mr. ValUndigham next gives Mr. Pngh aful
sorae indorsement, and pronounces the plat
form cf his friends" noble platform, elegant
in style, noble in sentiment," Then he
threatens that u Aen his friends have the power,
they will do jnst the same things that he now
abuses the Administration for doing. Here
is bis language :
In your hands now, men of Ohio, is the final
issue of the experiment. The party, of the
Administration have accepted it. By pledg
ing support to the President, they have justi
fied his outrages upon liberty and the Consti
tution ; and whoever gives bis vote to the
candidates of that party, commits himself to
every act of violence and wrong on tba part
of the Administration which he upholds ; and
thus, by the law of retalialion,which is the law of
might, would forfeit his own right to liberty,
personal and political, whensoever other men
and another party shall hold the power. Much
more do the candidates themselves. Suffer
them not, I entreat you, to evade the issue;
And by the judgment of the people we will
abide.
But perhaps the most absurd part of this ad
dress Is the following :
1 For if this civil war is to terminate only by
the subjugation or submission of the Southern
. force and arms, . the infant of to day will
co( live to see the end of it. No, in another
way only can it be brought to a close. Trav
elling a thousand miles or more through nearly
on half of the confederate States, and sojourn
ing for a time at widely different points,! met
not one man, woman, or child who was not resol
ved to perish rather than yield to the pressure of
arms even in the most desperate extremity.
And whatever may and must be the varying
fortune ot war, in all which I recognize the
band of Providence pointing visibly to the ul
timate issue of this great trial of the States
and people of America, they are Detfer prepa
red now every way to make good their inexor
able purpose than at any period since the be
ginning of the struggle. These may indeed
be unwelcome truths, but they are addressed
only to candid and honest men. -
Had Mr, Vallandigham really not heard of
(he hurried and disorderly retreat of Lee's ar
my before that ot General Meade t Or of the
surrender of Vicksburg with its thirty-two
thousand prisoners f Or of Port Hudson with
its eight or ten thousand T Surely be must
have been ignorant of these and correspon
ding facts or be would never have talked such
nonsense about "every man, woman, and
child being resolved to perish rather than yield
to tbe pressure ot arms.". - 'Gettysburg, and
Vieksburg,' and Port Hudson, -and twenty
other places, give tbe lie to this nonsense a
bout every body at tbe South being more
ready to perish than to yield to be extermina
ted rather than to be subjugated. "' Mr. Val
landigham only shows the puerility of his
mind by idulgiog in such exploded fanfaron
ade. -Equally at fault is this banished agfta
tor when be talks about tbe rebel being now
better prepared in every way to make good
their rebellious purpose and bombastic vaun-
tings than at any tfnie since the beginning o'
their struggle. Mr Vallandighara must either
be demented himself, or think, those whom he
addresses are.
HOW DOES IT COME 1 "
"Similar riots occurred at Boston, Hartford,
Buffalo, Troy, tc. the Time office ao abo
lition paper baring been completely gutted
at the latter place." Clearfield Republican,
July 22d.
In May last, when the returned nine months
soldiers, who had been stigmatized as an "nn
holy mob" by the Huntingdon Vou7or, cleaned
out that concern, the editors of the Copper-
head Organ in our town denounced the act as '
an "outrage upon the freedom ol the Press"
"a violation ol order of law of personal
"rights an overt act of civil war!" How
does it come now, but two months later,when
a more wanton, unjustifiable destruction of an
other printing establishment occurs,that these
law-abiding, anti-mob, peace-loving editors
note the fact without one word of comment T If
it was "a violation of order of law ofper
44 sonal rights ol'the liberty of the press an
" overt act of civil war," to "gut" the Moni
tor office, is it any less in the case of the Troy
Times 1 And if the editors of the Republican
deemed it their duty to denounce, the first
mentioned act in the manner they did, why
should they not feel a like duty when a sirai
lar event transpires eight weeks later 1 The
fact that the Times is what they are pleased to
terra "an abolition paper," and that the Mon
itor was a so-called "Democratic" sheet, may
possibly have influenced these frank, fair-dealing
knights of the qnill to condemn unreserv
edly the one act, and not to utter a .syllable
agaiust the other !
THE DRAFT CONSTITUTIONAL
The District Court of the United States for
the Eastern District of Pennsylvania, over
which Judge Cadwalader, a well known Dem
ocrat, presides,decided the question in a case
arising on a writ of habeas corpus on the 27th
of March, 18G3, and fully affirmed the Consti
tutionality of the Conscription Law. The
question arose as follows : A deserter who
had beeu drafted under the act of July 17,
18G2, was arrested by a Provost-Martial on
the authority ol that provision of the act of
1863 which legalizes the arrest of persons cal
led into service under any act of Congress.
A writ of habeas corpus was granted by Judge
Cadwalader, and on the return to that writ.the
case was argued in full. Much of the discus
sion was upon ether points than that of the
constitutionality of tbe law, but that point was
necessaiily" raised, was argued, and was fully
decided. Judge Cadwalader says :
"The Constitution of the United States' au
thorizes Congress to raise armies, and also to
call forth and organize the militia of the several
States. Under this two fold power, both regu
lar national armies, and occasional militia for
ces from the several States, may be raised,
either by conscription or in other modes. (5
Wheaton, 17.) The power to raise them by
conscription may, at a crisis of extreme exi
gency, be indispensable to public security."
OUT OF HUMOR. "
The editors of the Clearfield Copperhead are
indignant at the idea that the late tumult of
their "friends" in New York city should be
designated a 'Riot !" They do not.however,
indicate expressly by what name they wish to
have it called, but we are left to infer that it
shall in future be spoken of, in tbe euphonic
terms of the Richmond Enqvircr, as an "excel
lent o'tlhrcnli " We regret that people will
be so inconsiderate as to hurt the tender "phe
links" of these pafnot!C(?) and anti-mob (?)
editors in the manner indicated. There is no
telling what dire consequences may ensue, if
a stop is not speedily put to such talk. It is
true that the astute editors of the Copperhead
organ may undertake to show, by their pecu
liar mode of ratiocination, that the burniDg of
the Colored Orphan Asylum the brutal mur
der of Col. O'Brien, the shooting and hanging
of innocent persons, and the whole catalogue I
of horrors perpetrated by the mob during those
dreadful three days, were "constitutional"
acts of respectable and patriotic citizens
"friends" ot Gov. Seymour who had taken
this "peaceable" method of vindicating rigbt,
justice, law, and order! ! ! !
"MERE MOONSHINE" LOOK AT IT.
Below we present a ray of "mere moon-shin-),"
to which we invite the especial atten
tion of our Copperhead neighbors :

Taken at Falling Waters, on Potomac,
Killed and wounded in skirmishes,
Total losses to Lee,

The above small streak of "moonshine" foots
up 99,300, and is tbe fruit of three weeks ac
tive operations by the Union armies. Won
der how ''brother" Jeff and our neighbors like
tbe looks of it ?
Where tub Responsibility Rests. If tbe
leaders ot the Democratic party in Clearfield
Borough, who profess to be tbe especial friends
of law and order, will yet, at this late day,
counsel obedience to the conscription Act,
(the necessity .for which might have been
avoided, had they and their party generally
given the Government a hearty support and
encouraged enlistments,) they can, beyond all
doubt, prevent any resistance being made to
tbe draft in this county, and keep ill advised
persons, who threaten to obstruct its execu
tion, out of very serious trouble. It would
require but very few words from tbe leaders to
have the laws fully carried into'offect iu Clear,
field," and unlss they soon speak out, the
country will hold them responsible for any re
sistance tbat may be attempted.
CONSOLATIO-N TOE THE COPPEBHEADS
The ill-temper that has been engendered in
the minds of the editors of the Copperhead Or
gan by newspapers that designated the late
outbreak in New York city a "riot," we should
think would have been counteracted to some
extent by the sympathetic tone of their "dear
brethren" cf the qoill away down In Dixie
land. Thus; for instance, we find the Rich
mond Sentinel of the 18th, commenting on the
"riot" in the following terms:
"The great rtot in New Fork, of which we
give an account to day, is a very significant
and important sign of the tunes. , I be pposi
! tinn f r th rtinHfrititinn law haa triumnhed
- . ,.,. h,tiu
over the Government in a three day V battle.
Lincoln has been compelled to suspend the
draft and Gov. Seymour was constrained to
promise this in deference to the mob."
'Ph.. T ;k,,. Z? in ft. iufll). Jf Via
18th, iu an article headed "The Beginning of
Chaos," says;
'Riot, murder and conflagration have begun
in New York. It is a world's wonder that this
good work did not commence long ago ; and
this excellent outbreak may be the opening
scene of the inevitable revolution which is to
tear to pieces that moat rotten society, and
leave the Northern half of tbe old American
Union a desert of blood-soaked ashes. .. This
one insurrection may be suppressed for the
moment, but it will be tbe parent of other and
still worse convulsions.. We have but to per
severe in our determined resistance, gird our
selves to the task of winning our independ
ence more sternly than ever. Yet a little
while, and we shall see the giant, but hollow
hulk of the Yankee nation bursting into frag
ments and rushing down into petditiou in
flames and blood. Amen."
The language of the Richmond editors will
doubtless find a ready response in the minds
of our Copperhead neighbors, and, we trust,
will avert the disastrous results which it was
to be apprehended might follow the alleged
misnaming of the New York "Riots."
NORTHERN PLOT TO AID RE3SI.LI0S.
Each days revelations seem more fully to
establish the fact, that the late outbreak in
New York city was part of a plot to aid the
Southern Rebellion, and that Gov. Seymour
is one of the chief actors in the horrible dam
ma. The Tribune or Friday July 24th, pub
lishes the following testimony of one Capt.
Saehlenon.whch was affirmed by Lieut. Petitt,
both of whom are endorsed as men of veracity.
loyalty and honor. Capt. Saehlenon, in the
course of his testimony, given in explanation
of certain difficulties in the organization of
the regiment of New York State troops to
which he is attached, said :
"I saw Col. McCreaj July 7. 18C3.' He said
to me about noon, I did not want the olSce of
Colonel in this District ; but as it was pressed
on tue by men that I knew to be right lor our
orovernor, 1 accepted. I will say to you, but
confidentially, the object of this is to get this
militia force into our hands have proper men
appointed so if the Governor wishes to re
sist the National draft, which he iutends to
do, as he thinks it unconstitutional, he can do
so safely,, for he then will have proper men in
office over this National Guard, so as to con
trol it to his wish, resist tbe draft, and the
people cannot help themselves, as they will
have no military that they can control to their
wish. I have this from headquarters, from
gentlemen that saw the Governor on this sub
ject. It is not only my own view of the mat
ter, but the Governor's and our party's.' "
This shows clearly what object Seymour
&Co. bad in view that they intended to em
barrass the Federal Government, and aid the
Rebels. Let honest men consider these facts
seriously and determine for themselves what
course they shall persne.
A NEW REASON.
Samuel J.TiKlen,Senator Morgan and Judge
Pierpont are in Washington to ask the Gov
ernment, in behalf of Gov. Seymour, to sus
pend the draft in New York city. The "gra
vest apprehension" of the Governor is repre
sented to b "that the Irish servant girls will,
" in case the law is executed, turn incendia
" ries in a body, and burn down their masters'
houses !" This is no joke it is a fact. And
strange as this reason for asking a suspension
of the draft may appear, it is that most prom
inently put forward.' The Tribune, in noti
cing the matter, says : "Gov. Seyrtiour has
taken a very odd way of proving that he is
the "friend'1 of the Irish. In order to show
tbat he is such par excellence, he sends three
men to Washington to libel and . slander all
the kitchens in New York. He insists on
speaking for the Irish, and then insists that tbe
Irish servants are all incendiaries ! There have
been many Iloratios,but ha beats them all !"
IMPARTIAL TESTIMONY,
The editor of the Scientific .American, in
speaking of the recent lawless outbreaks in
New York city, says:
"The riot was evidently planned before
hand, and carried but upon some basis of co
operation; not effectually, as of course it
could not be. In proof of this statement we
can cite personal knowledge of' inflammatory
telegrams dispatched from this city to the
towns sdjoining, which were pre-eminently
calculated to cause trouble, and incite resis
tance to the lawfully constituted authorities."
The editor also denies that "the rioters
were composed of mechanics," and adds:
j. "The real source from which the rioters
were encouraged aud recruited, was, and is,
tbe mobs of J oung men who stand about street
comers; without any special means of sup
port they are yet dressed in tbe extreme
mode, talk loudly, insult women, and are an
unmitigated nuisauce."
Ths Right Wat. The City of Portland,
Maiae, is about to provide $300 lor every man
who shall be drafted from that city to serve
in tbe Armies of the Union, provided he stands
the draft either by going to the War himself, or
by securing an accepted substitute. This is talk
ing to the purpose. Pay whatever is fair and
just to recruit tbe National armies, but never
a cent to deplete and cripple them. ; .
i Query ? Wonder if a certain Stale Sena
tor, ; residing not a thousand miles from -our
town, will, whilst at Niagara, tender to. Val
landigham tLe use of .the Senate Chamber,
which, he last winter, by bis vote, refused to
Andy Johnson, Gov. Wright and Gen. Mc
Clellan, for defending the-cauae of the Union
and denouncing tbe Rebellion I
ONE OF GOV. SEYMOUR'S "FRIENDS !"
If a true history of the great New . York
city Riot is ever written, some rich and ter
rible developments will be made. Sufficient
is already known to satisfy any impartial man
that it was deliberately premeditated and ful
ly pre-arranged. Pickpockets, thieves, bur
glars and murderers were not the only persons
who took part in it. Shoulder hitters and
roughs" frcm Baltimore, Philadelphia and
other cities were present, imported no doubt
for the occasion. There was still another
class, whose business it was to incite the mul
titude, by inflamatory harangues, to go on
in their frightful saturnalia which fr three
days shook to its centre tbe great commercial
metropolis of the land. Amongst the latter
was a Virginian, named Andrews, and as be
is a fair specimen of those whom Gov. Sey
mour was pleased to designate as "friends,1'
we append a sketch of him, which we find in
one of our exchanges : -
THE ARREST OF THE SCOUNDREL ANDREWS.
Andrews was arrested (July 15th.) by De
tectives McCord, Farley, Radford and Dusen
bury. They found him in bed with a colored
woman, at No, 10 Eleventh street. He was
somewhat disconcerted at first ; by the time
he dressed himself however, he became calm
and said bad he known tbe object of the visit,
there would have been some difficulty in ar
rest4ng bitu. He. wished to be taken at once
before a magistrate, so that he might be ad
mitted to bail; declared that the arrest was
without warrant, was arbitrary and unconsti
tutional. He admitted that be made a speech
on Monday evening, but declared he bad not
spoken in public since tbat time. He told
our reporter that be made the same speech to
the mob that he made at the Peace Meeting,
so called, at the Cooper Institute. Several
persons are ready to swear tbat they have
beard him make iucendiary speeches to the
mob since Monday. His name is John U.
Andrews ; he was born iu Virginia ; has been
in the city since 1859. He is about thirty
five years of ego ; has brown hair, blue eyes,
and a full sandy colored .beard. He speaks
with the Virginia, or uegro ascent. He has a
severe cot on the temple, which he alleges he
received by slipping on entering the cell.
Andrews Mas President of a club in the
Eighth ward in 1860, which contained most or
tbe notorious thieves, pimps and gamblers in
that ward. For a long time he has lived with
a'colored woman, Josephine Wilson. Officer
S. J. Smith states tbat he saw him walking in
Broadway with her, arm in arm, last week.
She has kept a house of prostitution iu this
city for twelve years; she came from Boston.
About eight months ago her house, then No.
113 Green street, was broken up, a complaint
having been made against it. Andrews Went
to the Station House in the morning and re
quested permission of Sergeant Wilson to
take tbe black woman in a carriage up to Jef
ferson Market. . The Sergeant refused. An
drews himself walked with her to the bar of
the Court, and demanded to be allowed to
plead her case. The Justice, not satisfied tbat
be bad any authority to appear,refused to bear
him.
A bond was given by the black woman
to appear at the Special Sessions, and indict
ment was found against her. She did not how
ever appear when the case was called, and a
bench warrant was issued, in serving which
the officers found her in Andrews' company at
an up town hotel. She was fined $150, which
broke np the house No. 113 Green street.
Since tbat time the whereabouts of the house
hold was unknown to the police until they had
occasion to arrest Andrews. Mr. Chandler, of
Norfolk, now a consul, says that Andrews
has a wjfV and family in Virginia, who have
been compelled to leave him.
Marshal Murray, through Thomas Sampson,
one of his deputies, conducted the F. F. V.
to Fort Lafayette.
This is a fair type of tbe class who, by the
false and pernicious teachings of Vallandig
ham, Seymour ciCo., have beeu induced to at
tempt a resistance to the conscription act, to
denounce the Federal authorities, and to hur
rah for Jed Davis and the Southern Confeder
acy in the streets of one of our Northern cit
ies. It is to be hoped that these agitators
and enemies of the Government have learned
qy this dreadlul riot that it will not do to re
sist the laws of the laud which are intended
only to save tbe life of the Nation, any more
than it will do to turn loose upon a city the
vagabonds and ruilians who bad congregated
there at tLeir instigation.
. DB0PPING VALLANDIGHAM.
Tbe 'German Democratic organ at Cleve
land Ohio, has taken the name of Vallandig
liaui from its columns and raised that of John
Brough for Governor. The editor says, in
explanation of bis course :
As will be noticed by our readers, we put
to day at the head of our paper the name of
Mr. Brough for Governor.
This is no hasty step ; but we have conclu
ded, after mature consideration and consulta
tion with many of our Democratic friends, to
lay aside for the present party differences. and
by tbe utmost of our influence to aid to victo
ry the party that advocates the suppression of
the rebellion. . -
Tbe disgraceful scenes which a few days ago
occurred in New York city proves tbat it re
quires the united efforts of all good citizens,
without regard to party, to sustain the public
peace and order, and it is most certainly the
duty of every one who cares for Uie welfare
of our country to put aside party considera
tions and to bupport our constitutional gov
ernment. . ' -
How it Works. All accounts agree that
the federal and rebel forces at Port Hudson,
immediately upon our occupation of the place,
fraternized . in tbe kindest possible manner,
apparently forgettihg entirely that they had
ever been arrayed in hostile columns. It was
precisely thus, also, at Vicksburg, at Gettys
burg, and on every other field where the meu
have been brought -together -in the bush or
at the close of conflict. - Those persons Who
are fond of insisting that the people of the
Soutb and those of the North can never be
reconciled or live together in peace when the
war is done and tbe spirit of rebellion is de
stroyed, will hardly find in facts like these
we Lave cited a confirmation of their argu
ment. ' '
'- Thb Hartford Coprant says tbat a gentle
man is now in that city who was drafted ' in
Boston. He furnished a substitute, paying a
good price, and the fellow ran off;' hired an
other substitute and he skedaddled. ,Not lik
ing snch luck he concluded to go bimself.'and
went, before the officers for that purpose, but
the Board of Enrollment threw bim out ou ic
cout of disability. ' " " ""' "
ARREST OF GEORGE W. L. BICKLEY,
: Tile Resorted Father of the K G. C'l-,
The New Albany (Ind.) Journal contains
the following information about the arrest of i
General, or Doctor, Bickley ;
We yesterday mentioned the arrest in this
city of a man turned George W. L. Bickley.
supposed to be ther originator of tho order of
the Knights of the Golden Circle, but who
declared that while of the same name, he was
only the nephew of the original Gen. Bickley.
An examination of tbe contents of the
trunk of Bickley, by Major Fry, seems to in
dicate that be is really the genuine Bickley,
the father of the "K.nights." His portfolio
contains letters from parties in Memphis,
Lynchburg, New York, and other points, di
rected to Gen. Bickley as "Major General"
of the order. Also a copy of the "Degree
Book" of the Order of Knights of the Gold
en Circle ; a card on which is printed an ex
planation of the signs, grips, &c, of the or
der; another card on which is printed in red
and blue, the Confederate flag, with the let
ters "K. G. C." on each bar, the name "Gen
eral George Bickley" being printed on the
top. ,
There is also the manuscript ot an origin.il
piece of poetry, of which the General claims
the authorship, intended to be set to music,
in which Virginia is spoken of as-Queea of
the Soutb," and Lee, Longstreet and Mill ex
tolled as her saviours, &c. Also, slips cut
from the Richmond Whig and Mobile Mercury,
(of 1860.) explaining the doctrines and objects
of tbe K. G. C. In a memorandum book was
found what appears to be a rough sketch of
the situation of Louisville, New Albany, Jef
fersonville and the falls. In the book was
pasted a Confederate ten cent postage stamp.
Probably the most important document
found, however, was the following, which the
General doubtle;s wrote when in a melan
choly mood, or when reflecting on the vanity
of human ambition :
".My memory is not quite so vivid as in
years past, yet I can now sit down in the
shades of night and spread out all ry jy
and manhood's life like a great churl, with
marks and records of my wanderings, aud up
on calmly scrutinizing that chart ot memory's
tablets, I can most solemnly say every storm
that has overtaken me, every cloud that has
overshadowed me, has resulted from some
act committed by myself, which at the time
did not meet my conscientious approval.
"An orphan at an early age, I was thrown
on the world penniless and friendless. yet with
great energy, I educated ruyselt and rose to
eminence in. the profession of medicine. I
have written many books and great quantities
of minor essays on all conceivable subjects.
I have brought up practical secession and in
augurated the greatest war of modern times,
yet I declare ' the reaT pleasure of my life is
now found in the know ledge of small kind
nesses done to the needy and in adversity tbe
principles of morality aud humanity.
"Geo. W. L. Bickley, M. U.
"Bristol, Teiyi., Dec. 14, 1862."
Gen. (or Dr.) Bickley lias been sent to the
Military Prison at Louisville, where his case
will be attended to. What could have induc
ed him to come here with such evidence of
his complicity with the rebellion about his
person we caunot imagine.
A country boy who had read of sailors
heaving up anchors, wanted to know if it wus
sea sickness that made thenkdo it.
