Barker Dear Sir.: I Mr. hare' received. youra of the 4th inst., invi ting mq.to, address a Union League you contemplate organizing in Ebensburg to naorrow evening."1 .. I re.zret that pressing duties at home compel ine to forego th? 1leasure of being with you on the occasion mentioned, ,and 7hid1 cannot be other wise than interesting by the circumstances of your meeting ana thenoly cause which will bring you together." It is co partisan cause arouuxLwhich A,merican patriots are rallying .: in s the formation of . Lmon Leagues, t ut ;. the sacred cause of free government and , of human; liberty every where: Tne American r Union ta strug gling for its life with, the most fearful, inexcusable and diabolical rebellion against established law and order which the his-; tory of 'the . world has ever recorded," and in that struggle, the sad spectacle is ex hibited of many, very many. w.ho ought to have- bten relied" upon aid, the Gov-. ernmeui, ine living eniDouiment urioai Union, in defending its existence,' and yet are lending all their influence and giving all the energies of their bodies and miuds to' the work of embarrassing it' in its; ef forts to crush the rebellion arid keep our place amongst the nations of the earth.-1 bo far a purty prejudice aCa party tactics can accomplish it, the Croverume'nt has been weakened in its! power to strike, when strength and vigor were wanted to strike' down the monster, aud restore a distracted country to such a condition of peace as will not disgrac ana degradft up as a nation' in'the eyes of the civilized world. The crisi? upon us is too momen tous, and its calls upon the. united patriot im ofthe country. are' too imperative, to justify a wasting ot our time and strength in the discupsiou of party and collateral issues. There is but one issue now, and but two sides to it who are fur and who agalns ti Government? ;"Yho are for rrest-rviug Uie nation from disintegration and consequent destruction, ' and who are willing to aid iu that destruction and as sist the despotisms of the earth, at home and abroad, in their efforts to extinguish the beacon-light of this Government and drag down into endless night the cause of human liberty, weil-rcguJafrd, rational liberty, .throughout the world ? In the peiils from internal and external foes which have been before us aa a people for two .heartrending years,' I have been struck with utter amazement at the course of uren ' professing to be friends or the Union, and yet organizing .themselves ?.s a political party upon principles which' sweep hway the very toundation upon which that Union res's, to wit, the sover r ignty of the people as. a nation, and upon he additional principle distinctly Rsumed t?- of opposition to the defence the Govern ment is making against a bloody war fnade upon it, without justification or excuse, by members of it- own lamily. They fay this dcva?tatiug war; mu't be. stopped thfct they' are for peace and are thclrieuds cf pence.- But how can it be stopped by the Government without an "acknowledge ment thai 'it' has been'' vanquished, and the additional. acknowledgement that-lhe rebellion was right ? AVho made tlie war ? It was not the Govcrnnicut. -.'The trai tors made it vpfi the Government, villi the very arms of the Government in their hands, stolen from it during the adminif iration .of James Buchanan through t lie treacherous instrumentality of his Sccre tary of "War, John B. Floyd, now aen eraliu the rebel arm'. The Government made uj war .upon the rebels. It didn't ftrike a blow until after Fort Sumter had been bombarded, on the 12th April, 18C1, its wall battered doWn ,and the flag of the Union struck, although between the 20th December, 1SC0, wheoSouth Caro lina passed her unconstitutional ordinance of seccssiou .and that date, moretau a dozeu ;forts, four areenals, ?two xJom housts, a branch mint, a post-of5ce, three revenue cutters, a coast survey schooner, a -marine hospital and a vast amount of government property . n . an ucfcriptions, had been forciblv seized by the rebels.- Thcse .were aggressive acts of positive war ar waged against the .Government by the 1 bels, who have been in arms -against it onii that day to this. The Governmert re Irojii that day has been prosecuting nothing but a defen sive war against this aggressiv.e force, and I how can it stop that war whilst the rebels are in arm against it without recognizing the rebel-government, andv as belore sta ted, acknowledging-- itself to have Veen conquered ? Iu the name of Heaven ! wl.o that is a iriend to" his country can be for this ? , .. , : ,r t t . But I have, propounded the inquiry, Who jnade the wnr ? and that .inquiry jia been partially answered. And auyh. ) sc inquiry '.Tva'.- b utrft lynjje:. no I WOULD RATHER BE RIGHTTHAN PRESIDENT;. H km It Cut ! i: EBBNSBTJRGv;pA:.? organised thc rebelHon,' and when was it organized f In Tcply to thi.v I' have; to say that it has been in process. pf brgani-' za.tionv for. more than forty-year? as any candid reader of the debates m Congrws' must admit.' The track of .the foreshad owed rebellion is distinctly marked, all through the speeches of tire men who had been the pioneers 2nd ringleaders in it; It broko out upon the; tariff question in 18S2,:in thfr nullification proceedings of South Carolina, "but was.crushed m 1833 by Gen. Jackson,' then -President of the 7 United States, as Buchanan might have crushed the rebellion of 1860 by doing his duty as Jackson -did in 183ii.'The old patriot Jackson, then predicted that the Southern conspiratorsjkgainsi the in tegrity of the Union f5uld next resort to ac;itationiof Jbe: elaerVi question as- the instrument. bVfWlHchio accomplish a dis solution of, the Union, , and he expressed regret before his deathait he had not huns: John Q. Calhouff, thereat; .leader in, all th;se troubles of the country, when he was in his power, The conspirators of 1832 A'nd; those: of I860 professed to jus .tify their contluct .upoa the very princi ples upen which the YaMandighaux -and Breckiuridge.

With put the latter it .is a dead body, without tha principle of organic life in it. r You have a good many Douglas Democrats, in your county, and - you , should bring; to their, view a portion of a letterwHetf by Stephen A. DougJas in reference tof this Very . rebellion, and iu . reference to. the duty every good citizen owes to the Gov ernment in its effoits to conquer it. The following will bo found asii part of fa let. ter written .by him' to " Virgil ; I licox Chairman of "the State Democratic Com. mittce o Illinois, dated Chicago," May 10, 1801: ; . ' ;:". ?. . "All hope of compromise with Hie.
