- 'class of our fellow-ciUzens-who delight to

'V"1 title of Detnocracy"' aict 'at the; Court-
.llouse, on Saturday evumng, . to perfect
V. their p?gatization known as Pemocfatic
: Club." But . few persons efe present j
indeed, had it not been for the array of
Unionists who attended to sec what they
!-;Vould see and hear what they could hear,
- f the meeting would have been limited to a
:'very ''beggarly account of empty -bores. "
'As it was, it proved a farce a fizzle in the
strictest sense, of the word. The good,
honest, hard-fitted yeoaranry of little Cam

entanglement as the one here proposed

!. . Michael IIasson, Esq., took tlje chair,
". which he filled, as he is able to fill, with
. neatness, perspicuity and to advantage. He
' etated the object of the meeting in somQ
, happy and well chosen remarks, and sat
- down. ; . ;
The first thing oo the programme was
. the report of the Committee on. Constitu
tion, etc. Gen. Jok M' Donald acted as
; chairman of the Committee, and read; the
.,vdocument3. -.- To the. best of .our. recollec
tion, r'they were voluminous, - positivej
: 'dissatisfied, high-sounding and radically
-: 'ridiculous to the effect that the oTjects
s. -of. -the Club to "be- formed were, the
dissemination and inculcation of true Dcm-
;v-i ;Ccratic doctrine, and the promotion of ihcr
election of Democratic candidates. - All' of
i '; .which was agreed to ,a eminently advisa
" ' blern the present juncture by a unanimous
voice-- . . -j
The preliminaries over, an opportunity
; , - was afforded somepf the politicians -'as
. could speak" to ijnfAirden themselves.
The name of P. S. Noox, Esq., was sug
gested as that -of a 'gentleman whose elo
' ' q-uerice-should first burst" upon the ears
of the assembled auditory. and break the
... tileuce which was fast beginuing to, hang
as a heavy spell around. So Mr. Kcox
it was.' ' .';' - ' " :"
The speaker contapded that-the Con
(criptioaLaw lately passed by Congress is
unconstitutional that it conflicts . with
that darling hobby of the Democracy and
" the Traitors of the South, State Rights.
This was his opinion, and so believing, he
was fernccst a. draft; but, should the
Supreme Court decide otherwise, he for
one was willing to submit. Manly and
and honorable, so far. He touched brief
ly on The Allcj7iania;i and asserted that the
tuain object of that journal at present was
to stir up old feuds, bctweeu the friends
respectively of Douglas and aECKiN-RIDGE-
ftuiid iclitch slwi-.U never li-ive exis
tel! What are we to understand from this?
" That the Douglas men were wrong in
: dissolving partnership with the. Leeotupt
on members ofthe firm? or that the
;; Sreekinridgcrs monopolized t the infamy
" cf that undertaking ? If this feud 'which
. resulted in a split of the Democratic
party should never have existed, then
jnnst either the Douglas or else the
Breckinridge faction come down from'the
high perch it has been so bug occupying,
And humble itselt in the dust for forgive
ness. Which shall it be ? Mr: N. made
tiae of one expression "which we could not
-' . quite understand. Weforget the connee-.
: tion, but it was to the effect that "the
South hid taken up arms too soon V Too
bood for what ? Is this a covert threat
that,- had the South only waited a short
time, it would have found friends enough
in the North to have protected it from
- violence and seen it through in. its strus-
- a
gle fur ideal greatness ? or does it mean
x;. t that they should have waited until after

report of his Fpeech of Friday, 20th nit,;
r.,i Vor;fr.ntlv Hrnicd ever having used
the lanma"e attributed to him in connee-
tbn with the Wide-Awakes.; If he lin
agmes we have misconstrued his remarks,
aud focls aggrieved thereat, Mr. J. is at
perfect liberty to refute the charges made
against, hira, over his "own fignaturc,
through the columns of this paper. ' The.
fact 15, friend Johnston becomes ex
tremely excited when speaking to Demo
cratic.Cluts, and talks about snakes, and
niggers, and Abolitionists, and lumbermen
from the New England States, and
monstrosities in general, to.su.ch.an extent
that he may not possibly remember exact
ly what he does say. If our recollection
of hi wip'e at the Wide-Awakes Serves Us
aright and wethink.it does that cir-"
cumstahce was about as follows : lr. J.,
in the course of his speech, and as usual,
became jocular, and rcmarked that IIaii
kison had been &ufj into the Presidential
chair in '40, while Lincoln was Itgldrd
into'it iu- 'GO by the Wide-A wakes, with
their. capes and caps the only description
of uniform he ever knew thej to be guil
ty of wearing &c. These may not be the
exact words, but they are the pith aud.
essence.' Doe3 not Sin J.' remember this
clelieate' little mot . oi his now?, The
speaker had a great deal to say about
lthode Island, that diminutive little State
whicK' is only abdut" large', enough fer a
deeent-sizei garden, and around the
circumference of which a patient was once
advised by his doctor to walk three times
by way of exercise, before breakfast j yet
a State equally represented in the Senate
of the United States with the great and
flourishing State of -Pennsylvania. But
he forgot to. tell: his .audience that this
liltle State of Rhode Island has a larger
white population .than the f-laveholding
States of " Delaware and Florida 'taken
together !. . While, talking about the
State of Massachusetts', MrJ. also forgot
to mention the, fact that the has a -white
population larger than that., of the slave '
holding : States of Florida, Delaware,
South .Carolina, .' Arkansas, .. Mississippi,
and Ldtisiaua takenj collectively ! Mr.
J.: certainly 'iterated and reiterated -the
statciirent that Pennsylvania is larger
than the entire New. England States.
Noj?,,what are the facts? Area of Penn
sylvania in square miles, 46,000 ; area of
the New England 'States in square miles,
64,678 -a vciy material difference in
favor of the latter, truly ! . But we; hve

One thing, however: He observed that
Barker miht bark and. bark until, he
got tired ; for his part, .he reserved the
right to lite occasionally, should he see
fit. So so--and, as we entertain no ambi
tion of dying just at present speaking, we
will tread lightly in the ; fature2 for the
bite of a Copperhead is said to be sudden
death to a Yankee r any other man !
We are ot aware that this last . speech
has conduced materially toward Mr.
Johnston's aspirations for Gubernatorial
honors the coming fall, but that i a
matter foreign to the subject as yet. -
M. !.. Magkii-an, Eskevife, followed!
TWe opinions and estimates of this gentle
man are of so little worth or moral bear
ing that we almost refrain from burdening
our space with them at all. Of course he
denounced the Conscription Law as' un
constitutional j counseled Tesisiance there
unto even to the death; maligned, .the
Administration; condemned the war; and
made an ass;' of .himself gtnerallyl We
see that he delivered a similar speech at
Juhnstuwi) tbe other , evening, and was
'loudly "cheered." Is this a fuct ?- Is
this the appreciation of a Johnstown au
dience? We think not. For the-credit-'
of. the boasted intelligence of this nine-
teenth century, we hope not. The cheers, I
if given, must certainly have been inten
ded as a compliment to the "rave and
roar" style of expression in which he in
variably indulges ; . . .

-And there was silence, and the lights
went out, and the, assemblage dispersed
after having arranged it-to meet again
next Saturday evening, to do some more
talking. , .v. !: ,
: Mr. Joiinston and.Mr.'NoDN and Mr.
"Mageuan had a great deal to say in the
course of. their speeches against the 'Ad-1

who are sta.ning it, but we d
remember that. they uttered one syllable
of dispraise toward Jefferson Davis, or
Floyd, or Cobb, or the Great Unhung,
Breckinridge. They could talk by the
hour of the "baseless iniquities , of v Mr.
Lincoln, but they totally lost sight of
the infernal wiekedness of those tiflitoroua
sco,undreIs in the 'South who arc now and
have for years been plotting thetlc.truc-
tion of the country. Wnj4 thu f &

Andueav JotlNSTON is a Southerner, a

"The North 13 in no way responsible tor

and, they alone, are responsible for the

These, we may aui, cie rot.the senti
ments "usually retailed' at Clubs cf the
Democratic persuasion, and especially does
the Ebensburg Club fall bebind in this
particular. -- Honest men should ask them
selves, Whv is this ? and can we afford
to ally ourselves to an organization, the
professed object of which is opposition to
the legally constituted authonties in the
prosecution of the war? If! the latter
interrogatory be answered in lite negrttive,

A iIea for the Governnieut.-
To tie Editor of The Alleghanlcn : "
On' the 4th July,' 1776,' the then thir
teen Colonies 'Of Great Jlritain N'ew
Hamjhire, Massachu?e(f9,11hode Island,
Connecticut, N'cw York, New Jersey,
Pennsylvania,: Delaware, 'Maryland, Vir
ginia, North Carolina, South Carolina and
Georgia in Convention assembled, all
dr-clared 'their -independence of. tjreat
Britain.. These Colouies, bj their reprc- j
pentativcp, in convention declared and
paid, "We hold these truths to be self-evident
; that all men are created equal,
tliHt they are endowed by their Creator
with certain inalienable rights, that among
the.-e are life. liberty and Hie pursuit of
happiness." ,Tie. representatives in this
convention from Svuth Carolina were 3M -
ward llutledge, Thomas Iley'ward. Jr,
Thomas Lynch, Jr., and Arthur Middle
ton. tSouth Carolina was the first State
to rise up in rebellion agaiu.'-t the author
ity ol the United States, whose Govern
ment was intended to be fouuded upon the
principles of the. above Declaration recited.
The Kevolution , of "7(3" continued and
ended in the litter part of the year "81."
The confederation 6ffhe.se 13 states had
been made for special and not for perma
nent .' purposes". : . But ' after the war was
over, the States did not deem ' themselves
safe against Kngland and other Powers ;
and they sought to strengthen themselves
by uniting permanently for all time to
come. In the discussion upon the Con
stitution, the institution of Slavery was
litigated. Some of the' States wje for
continuing Slavery ,"whi!e others contended
that it ought to be abolished, and believed
it to be inconsistent with the declaration
"tlrat all mankind have a ri.ht to life,
liberty and the pursuit of happiness."
Thi., for a long time, was a barrier to a
Union of the States. ' Delaware, Maryland,
Virginia, North and South Carolina, and
Georgia, refused to unite, unless the con
stitution, should be so framexl that they
could retain "Slavery, if they chose to do
so. Many of the best men of these States
contended for the abolition of Slavery, but
being the minority, they had to-submit to
the majority. Kvery State at this time
was independent of all the rest ; aud to
lorm a Ionian of all the SSites, for the
f-ake of expediency, thqyajority of all the
Stateshad-to submit to the minority in.
the matter of Slavery j and the constitu
tion was formed as we find it, permitting
all the then existing States to retain Sla
very that desired to have it.
Tt was plain to be seen then, as now, by
all men of wisdom and-good sene," that
the Constitution permitting Slavery under
its sanction, cculd not be reconciled with
the Declaration'-cf Independence, which
declared "That all mankind had an equal
right to lite, liberty and the pursuit of
happiness.'.' Hvery one knows that the.
bondage" of the negro is not liberty. We
all know "that by the laws of the Slave
States ueither Hie, liberty nor the pursuit
of liappiness is secured to the negro. The
Slaveholder, or any white person, may
maltreat the 'negro in the most Lrutish
manner puss-ille, fa the presence of any
number of negroes, and their testimony
will not be taken as evidence against any
acts of a white person,. Democracy or
Iiepublicanism means that the majority,
and cot the minority, shall govern a .Na
tion." Their names mean more, they
mean that the laws should be made so a
to do justice to-every one y to punish'and
prevent crime, and to encourage' virtue
aud . goodness. Is it not crime to tike
from a man what belongs to him, without
his consent ?. Is it uot wrong to enslave
the negro, and to-force bim to labor for
you . without his consent? Is not the
strength of the negro givcrohim "for his
own individual beneiit, as much so as the
strength- of the white man is given him
for his benefit '! Wc have no proof to the
contrary. If our Fathers of the llevolution
fought for liberty, for the principles of
justice, and' made their ' Declaration, of
Independence on the principles of justice"
and formed a Government as near as
they had the power, to the principles cf
the Declaration, the Constitution', and
Government ought to 'stand, until altered
or revised by the innjoriiy of the people.
: If this government ia overthrown,
whose fault is it? There are two princi
pal parties now, in "this country, opposed
to each , other's policy m regard to its
Government. The one party, the rebels;
against the Government, contend that S
siuvevv is riht. and that thev hava a!
m & -
right to extend it nto oar Territories,
independent of Congress. The- other
party conteud that slavery is vronj; any
where; but especially that Congress lias u'
right to prohibit slavery in all our Terri
tories, aud they quote the clause d the
Constitutiou, "Congress shall have power to
dispose cf and make all needful rules and
regulations respecting the Territory or
other property beonnnr . to the United
States.", And Republicans ask, ' "What
is more needful, than "to make rules and
regulations respecting slavery id our Ter
ritories 'i" It is the expressed arguments
against . the injustice of Slavery that
luduccd the rebels to .rise up and try, to
overtnrow tne uovernment. . A citizen of
the United States, anywhere, has as good
right to oppose slavery by argument, as
any other citizen lias a right to uphold
it by argument. But neither of these has
a right, to rise up in arms against the
Government to uphold their opinion. The
moment thid is done, as the aggressor, ty
either party, the Constitution is destroyed
if their rebellion is suffered to prevail. "
South "Carolina, and all other States
joining hei rebellion, and all other , per
sons in any of the States aiding, abetting.
ad comforting' jJiernj , are .ail rebels alike
againt our":oveinmeot j , and ia elf .1
a f' l ... i .x-trcvt.-i Xn
' the slaveholder that
! emancipated, and ho i
slaveholder that U Ins slaves are
i not fullv taid for
them, it will reduce him to poverty, and
tlat he would bufTer injustice thereby .
This is looking at a sulieiiug on one side,
and paying 1:0 regard to justice 011 the
other side. A buys a piece of land J B,
in good faith, and pays him'Sl.OOU for
it ; but O comes - forward, and bhows
older and better title than than A's, aud
B is dispossessed by C. B is unfortu
nate iu the purchase, for by soma reason
he can't recover his Sl,0u0 from A, back
again. So it is with the, slaveholder :
the slave has a natural and more equita
ble right to his owu bbjr, than the
man who culls himself his master; and if
the negro obtains justice, he will have a
voice in hajing who he will work for. and
at what price. And if the man who
thought he owned him finds cut that he
does not, then, he may Fay I am unfortu
nate, but I must put up with it," and 1
guess I must gain niy bread by the sweat
of my face. . .
All the States and individuals which
have attempted or aided the rebels to try
to shake off their allegiance to this Gov
ernment by Secession, are guilty of the
highest puiut of infringement of the Con
stitution. And 3-et, we have among u.-1,
in the free . States, men claiming to ba
friends to tho Union, who are all the
while censuring and calumniating the
President, Administration, and the whole
Beplicati party, as violaters of the Con
stitution, without a. word of censure of the
rebels lor their acts which entirely
destroy the Constitution should theyprove
successful in their rebellion. Valiandig
ham ia enc of these preteuued friend of
the Union. Aud -we. have many, uot
far off, like him. They delight to quote
his arsrumcuts and speeches.
- Vallundighaoi says, 'I quote Chatham,
'My "Lords, you can't conquer America,' "
And then lie adds, 4Yod have not con
quered the South yet. And you never
will.". Thus Vallandighaiu aud his ad
mirers exult St the idea of the rebels'
success.
What" is the difference between the
President and his administration's -infringement
of tbe Constitution, if guilty
of any, and the . infringement which the
rebels are guilty of ? I ansnver, that the
acts of the rebeU are intended to- destrov
the Constitution and Government' a'to
rethcr; but, the infringements, if any,
made by the Presideut and his supporters,
are intended to counteract the intcution&
of the rebels, and to preserve tbe Govern
ment. As a general thing, it is not law
f tl for the Government or citizen of a
town to set a house on fire ; but, soiic
times when-a house is ou lire, expediency
.requires that others sliouia oe set on Sre,
to prevent the spread of the flames. For
instance, if a thickly settled town in one
location should take fire, and should rae
fo. furiously tl.at there was danger cf
burning the mo.-t or the whole of thr
town, the aujiorities would be justifiable
in setting fire to some intermediate build
iucjs, if there was a prospect by so doing
of saving the balance cf the town. And
with such an extensive rebelli jii as we
have, and traitors more or loss all over the
professed loyal State?, there is a ncceF-'ity
of suspending the writ of llabea Corpus,
for die purpose of preventing traitors "aid
ing the rebels, in their rebellion.
Treason requires to be m.TO prnhnptlr
dealt with than can be had by civil pro
cess. In many counties' in loyal State?, the
traitor defies the civil law ; bvcaue he
expects the Jury and Court to screcn.him
in his treasonable acts. To deter traitors
from committing treasonable aets' requires
powerful and immediate punishment.
'If there is danger of sometimes punishing
innoceut persons by martial law, there
is more danger of greater harm bcin
done by depending on the civil law to
punish the persons guilty or treason.
A great cry is made by rebel fympathi-.
zers about persons being imprisoned, by
martial law, without evidence, or alleged
guilt of transgression against law. I have
Heard of
no arrests and imprisonment
without their offences being enumerated. 4
vrenerai .jacsson proclaimed martial law
at New Orleans, and arrested suspicious
persons, aud evidently mved the town,
and thousands cf lives, and millions J"
property, and beat the enemy; by so doing.
aii loyal men at that day praised him for
the act. .
. Bfi An error of the telegraph led m,
and our cofemporaries generally, 'tt) an
nounce last week that the Union State
Convention would assemble in Pittsburg
