" JOSEPH MILLER. Chairman Union County Committee. June 11, 1863. - - Speech or K. "L.. Johnston, Esq., at Huntingdon. . On our first page to-day we print some remarks delivered by It. L. Joiinston, Esq., of Ebensburg, at the Copperhead Indignation Meeting held nt Huntingdon on the 29th ult. The speech aa there given is of course only an abstract of what he said Mr. J., aa a genera! rule, is too remarkably long-winded, to permit any speech of his to bo crowded into the col txtnas of a country newspaper. Which is unfortunate, for, when the abstract prove so highly interesting, what would we not give for uninterrupted access to the en tirety ! Aa usual, Mr. J. starts out with a few witticisms. The one relating to Copper head always coming forth in warm weath er has been aired iiiside our county limits at least a dozen times to our knowledge, without any special result. It seem?, however, to have been new and apprccia-J ted in Huntingdon, for we read that it was hailed with "tremendous cheers." So with regard to the diminutiveness of the State of lthode Island the fling is indeed a "thrice told talc." Mr. J. attempts to demonstrate- that the Democracy may be loyal to the Con stitution, and yet not sustain the Admin istration in its efforts to put down the Rebellion. We deny that the Democracy are loyal to the Constitution. That in strument expressly declares that "Treason only in levying war against them, or in adhering to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort." Who can deny that the Nor thern Democracy, by its factious and truckling course during the present strug gle, has been and is now affording "aid and comfort" to the common enemy ! Every meeting held having for its object the denunciation of the Avar, every resolu tion passed maligning the Administration for this, that or the other act of commis sion or omission, every word or paragraph Tittered tending toward the distraction and demoralization of public sentiment in the North all these weaken and impov erish our cause, and in a corresponding manner strengthen that of the Rebels. Clearly the Democracy are not lojal to the Constitution, otherwise they would sot thus afford aid and comfort to the Kworu enemies of the Government. "Wherefore, seeing that they are not loyal to the Constitution, where is the necessity of splitting hairs as to the truth or falsity of the proposition upon which he bases hi argument ! " ' . . Mr. J. makes use of an extraet from a .speech delivered by Seuator Douglas "before the breaking out of the Rebellion, to show that the restoration of the Union is hopeless. Let ui reproduce a few words from that lamented patriot's Chica go speech the laat he ever made deliv ered after war had been Ic-yied upon us. He sayg : "The conspiracy (to break up the Union) ib now known. Armies' iiave been raised ; war Ls levied to accomplish it. There are only two sides to the ques tion. Every man must be for tho United State, or against it. There can be no neutrals in this war only patriots and traitors. The government must bo maintained, its enemies overthrown, and the mere stupendous our preparations the Icte the bloodshed and the shorter the rtiugglo.x Wehaveasol emn duty to maintain the Govelrauient. The greater our unanimity the speedier the day of peace." These are among the last recorded sentiments of that pure and unsullied patriot. - And yet it is attemp .tdd to give color and force tp the designs of a treasonable organization by quoting Stephen A. Douglas as haviug been opposed to the war ! O ! shame, where is thy -blush ! Mr. J. advises submission to the Con scription Law. Thisis more than we anticipated, seeing that a few short weeks ago the gentleman made the grand rounds of the county, preaching up tho law to be unconstitutional, denouncing its authors, vilifying its upholders, and threatening that it should be resisted to tho death, "provided it be decided unconstitutional by tho Supreme Court." Reason is evi dently resuming her sway. Mr. J. spreads him'self considerably when he comes to talk about the Con scription Law being a rich man's law, oppressive to the poor, &c. .Now, should the Secretary of War practically annul the $300 clause of the act, as it is said he has in contemplation, and require every man, rich or poor, to go to war when drafted, or find his own substitute, would the law be any less "oppressive" to the poor than it now is? or would it bear the harder on the rich ? Of course not. Tho fact is, this cry that tho Conscription Act discriminates between the rich and the poor is mere political clap-trap, with no merit whatever attaching to it. Mr. J. 6ays ho "respects the South." We believe him ; for, although his speech abounds with abuse of the North and its rulers, we find that the South is let off with a gentle admixture of flattery and nonsense. This meeting, whereat Mr. John ston so freely unbosomed himself, was called for the avowed purpose of protest ing against the recent demolishment of tho Monitor printing office, of Hunting don, by a party of returned soldiers. We see by the papers that these soldiers were all Democrats members of the same po litical organization that the Monitor and Mr. Johnston belong to and that the riotous demonstration was totally discon nected with politics. It was merely a question ot loyalty versus disloyalty. One set of Democrats imagined another set to be unfriendly to the Government, and took the unlawful method of showing their disapprobation of the course of the latter by "gutting" a printing office. For the life of us, therefore, we cannot see why the attempt should be made to hold the Administration accountable for the out rage. The infamy of the transaction would certainly appear to be monopolized by the Democratic party itself. Wo are no apologists for mob law ; on the contra ry, we contemn and despise the system. Yet we cannot help thinking that this Indignation Meeting has proven a farce productive ot more evil than it was intended it should work good. Its result has been to add fuel to flames already ig nited. Had thev speakers contented themselves with denouncing the guilty parties in the affair those who really destroyed the office, and who shoulder the blame wc should havo rested satified. But to make the occurrence of a not gotten up by a few irresponsible persons a pretext for assailing tho Administration and the war, strikes us as being very bad policy, to say the least of it. We can only account for the untoward circum stance upon the hypothesis that the speakers, Mr. Joiinston among the rest, were afflicted at the timo with that sin gular disease known as cacoelhes loqueiidi a desire to hear themselves gabble. Two Union Meetings. A tremend ous gathering of the friends of the Union and the Constitution was held at the Court House on Wednesday evening of last week, at which not less than six hundred persons could have been present. Ad dresses, patriotic, thorough and convinc ing, were -delivered by Hon. Samuel Oalvin, of Hollidaysburg, and J. G. Miles, Esq., of .Huntingdon, upon whose burning words of genuine loyalty the au dience hung with enraptured enthusiasm. Another meeting was held at the same place on Monday evening of this week, when and where Hon. John Scott, of Huntingdon, spoke. Mr. Scott is a Democrat by birth and education, and his address was a masterly effort. He spoke from the record, proving conclusively that the YalLANDIGIIAM Democracy of to-day are not what the Democracy of the old Jackson stripe were, but, on the contrary, that they have strayed far from the faith into the paths of wickedness. Ilewas rap turously applauded throughout, and his sentiments found a hearty re-echo in every honest heart. The "Unterrlflcd Democracy." To the Editor of Ths Alleghanian : On Thursday evening, June 2d, was the grand rally of the Democracy of Cambria. At an early hqur, the faithful began to .gather at the Court HQUs..uutiI quite a sprinkling had congregated . at. the grand "Mass Meeting." The house was called tp order by the selec tion of one pf the -'wheel-horses" to fill the chair, aud three knights of the quill to note the proceedings. Theii'followed such anom ina.tion ofvice-presidents as made the plat form fairly groan beneath their weight. After this, the "spouting" time came. ; ; . The first speaker on the carpet was R Milton Speer, of Huntingdon. After a vocif erous cheeiiner with a will and a yell, he began, in his fiery indignation, to hurl mis siles thick and fast at the heudof the President. As he warmed with the subject, his wrath knew no bounds, as he stamped and talked of the tvrannv of the Administration. The Emancipation Proclamation aud the su3pen sion of the writ of habeas corpus were the two bugbears which, in his eyes, ranked as "un pardonable sins." In- his estimation, the Proclamation was nothing but a "bull against tho comet," and in commenting upon the habeas corpus there was much talk about the arbitrary arrest of peaceable citizens at the hour of midnight meaning, of course, the arrest ot that villainous traitor, Vallaadig ham. The next speaker was Cyrus L. Pershing, the exponent of the Shamocracy of the county, lie began unrolling his armful of documents, until it was truly awful to behold I And the "unterrified," with staring eyes and gaping mouths, looked on in blank amazement. He being unable to manufacture aa original speech out of "whole cloth," was forced to fall back on Republican documents to help him along. After fumbling over his pile of papers, be edified his audience with volumi nous excerpta from fugitive papers and gar bled extracts to carry his point. The faithful evidently did not relish this mode of tactics, yet how dare thy dispute the judgment of thispolitical magnate! Tbedriftof his speech was a reaffirmation of the preceding one, with a few variations. He demonstrated one thing clearly, if nothing else, that be did not relish the appellation of "Copperhead," even if he were one. After a long, lumbering rig marole of stale hash, which seemed as if it would never be done, he subsided and gave the Democracy time for a. long breath. Last, but not least, came Hon. H. D. Fos ter, a former candidate for the governorship of Pennsylvania, but who was not elected because he did not get enough votes! He came unexpectedly, and his presence seemed to inspire the faithtul with fresh enthusiasm. His speech was received with great gusto, coming as it did from such high authority. Before he closed, however, but one sentiment pervaded the few Union men who were left, and that was, to thank God most devoutly that Andrew G. Curtin had been elected our Governor in stead of Henry D. Foster. ' ' Take it all in all, there was a very bad at- mosphere pervading the entire meeting. Bad whiskey and bad Democracy make a very crazy man, and, wneiuer n was irum m effect of the former or the latter, there was audible evidence somebody's stomach was affected with nausea! There was no denun ciation of Jeff Davis no voice for the war no sympathy for our noble soldiers ; but there were many curses, loud and deep, against the Admiuistration. One thing must have been evident to every observer, that while the vituperation against the President was applauded most vociferously, the cheers for the flag were faint and "few and far be tween." And this is the Democracy which is to be the "salvation" of the country I May God have mercy upon us when we fall into the hands o these Philistines. No, gentlemen, your trickery is played out. The people begin, to discover your hypocrisy, and they will bow tiie knee to Baal no longer. The reading public cannot be hoodwinked by your perversions of the truth, and will not submit to have them crammed, unconditionally, down their throats. They prefer healthy- food. It i3 frequently sounded in our ear3 by.tLcse tricksters that the army is disaffected, and that our soldiers are opposed to the policy of the Administration. We cannot better an swer this, or close our article, than by giving an extract from the private correspondence of a gallant officer of the 101st regt. P. V.: ; "Consciously and intentionally, or uncon sciously and ignorantly, the wicked chrieker3 of 'eomproiuise'"and 'peace-on-any-terms' are prolonging this war keeping us from our friends and the homes we love. It would be the loftiest exercise of Christian charity to suppose that these stupid asses had been re duced by a decree of Heaven to the mental imbecility of a natural fool it would be greatly to their credit if this proposition co'd be proven: "Teace on any terms' is spurned by the army with loathing'and disgust. May heaven pity" them in years to come, for surely they will be remembered, and their name and memory will be weighed beneath the accumu lated curse3 and merited execrations of all the generations of earth, until tbo loud and telling notes of Gabriel's trump shall disturb their Bleep of shame." VINDEX. 6?- We have an account of Col. Kil patrick's recent successful raid back from Gloucester Point. He crossed the country between the York and Rappahanuock Rivers, making an extensive circuit through the garden spot of Virginia a section where our troops have never before pene trated. Col. Kilpatrick made a large haul of negToes, horses, &c., and baa arrived safely at Urbanna with them. He spread general terror among the Rebels. Ilia forces were taken across the Ranna- hannock by onr gunboats and proceeded at once to our tines. Jtlr. Bull Changes his Tone. It is only fair to state that ever. eince the wild oulbreak of John Arthur Roe buck (commonly known as Austria's "Dog Tearem"), the tone of the British Parliament has become greatly moderate. It seems as if John Bull, taking thought seriously, had been struck with the con viction that to quarrel with the United States, even to trea't the United States with contumely and disdain, was what "wouldn't T)ay." In the House of Lords, on May. 18th, when that noble blaekleer. the Marouis of Clanrickarde, growled out a formal com nlamt against the United btates I'nze Courts, whose action, he affirmed, was in consistent with the law of nations,: Earl Russell contended, with no small force, that the United States had not thrown aside the law of nations, had not inter rupted British trade in .neutral waters, and that not any case had been, or could be, pointed out in which the proceedings of the United States Prize Courts wero wrong. "These Courts," he said, "were impartial and desirous of doing justice, while they deferred with respect to Eng lish decisions on maritime international law. It was a fact that many vessels went from Nassau to run the blockade of the South ern ports, and it could not be much com plained of that the United States cruisers should be suspicious and vigilant." Lastlv. he repudiated the reproach of sanctioning the fitting out and piracy of Alabama, and counselled forbearance on both sides in any differences which might arise between England and the United States. . - This was the authorized language of Earl Russell, the foreign Secretary in the Palmerston Administration. The Earl of Derby, who would certainly be Prime Minister should the Palmerston Cabinet break up, and who has hitherto been very violent and one-sided as respects American affairs, virtually echoed Lord Russell. He said that Lord Clanrickarde had some what rashly adopted the notion of the in- justiee of the American prize-courts, and thought that this question should be ap proached with good temper and modera tion, seeing that a large contraband trade was carried on in British vessels between the British West India islands and the Southern States. ; . . In the House of Commons, on May 19, Mr. Edward Warner, member for Nor wich fa briefless barrister . and unread pamphleteer), complained that a certain Mr. Magee, woo nau oeen acting urmsn Consul at Mobile, had been dismissed by th.e Foreign OCcq in a summary manner. Mr. Layard, the Foreign Under-Secretary, better known here by his. successful explorations in Nineveh,) declared that as British ships of war were permitted to penetrate the blockade ot the Southern ports for omcial duties, the i esuvius nau been allowed to go up to Mobile ; that Mr. Maee "had shioped some specie from that port without uiving notice lor a month to Lord Lyons, who, as poon as ho heard of it. telegraphed forbidding the traasac- i tion ; but Mr. . Magec auegea mat, al though the specie wa3 shipped the same day, it was beJore he received Lord Lyons orders ; and, although he was in constant communication with JLord .Lyons, ne never informed him of the fact until ten days after. This being the case, liovernmeut considered that Mr. Magee had not ob served the conduct proper to the agent of a neutral State, and at once dismissed him before any complaint was made by the American Government." This alacri ty in anticipating the complaint of our Government did not please the advocates of Rebellion. Sir. James Fcrgusson, member tor Ayrshire, (the same who ran the blockade into tho South, came across our lines under a flag of truce, and b?sely forfeited his personal honor by bringing in his trunks, from rebeldom, a vast num ber of letters for Northern Copperheads,) could cot hold, his tongue, and asked "whether the specie was not the interest due on the Alabama State bonds, and the property of British subjects ; and, also, whether the other foreign consuls did not habitually do the same?" On the part of the British Government, it was replied by Mr. -Layard, that "it was doubtful whether the money was the interest, or intended to purchase Confederate cruisers in England. He did not know whether this was the practice of other consuls; but, the Vesuvius having been admitted within the blockade on a distinct understanding, it was a point of honor that there should be no breach of that understanding." This was a manly, outspoken declaration, and the British Copperheads, finding that they were gaining nothing by the conver sation, dropped it at once. It is obvious that, while England was free from any apprehension of an Euro pean war, (which the revolution in Po land and the tortuous policy of Napoleon may suddenly precipitate,) the British Minstry did not think it unbecoming or unfair to . show its peculiar notions of "neutrality" by sympathizing as much as possible with the rebellious South. But, now that England may be compelled to drift into a war with Russia, she cannot aflord to provake the United States any further. We take this to be the solution of her recent change of tone. The late action of the Alabama, in burning or plundering British property found on board our merchantmen, may speedily compel England to proceed against the Alabama as a pirate. We do not despair, of jet hearing of Captain Semmes being convicted in the English Admiralty Court as a buccaneer and hung, as such, in front of Newgate prison. The Pr est.

A pamphiet giring instructions to Provost Marshals has just been issued by the authorities at Washington, from which wo have selected a few items. In the new enrolling law the LTnited States is divided into districts, each Congressional district of a State constituting a district, and over each there is to be a Provost Marshal. Each district shall also have a Board of Enrollment, to be composed of the Pro vost Marshal, who shall act as President, and two ethers who are appointed by the President of the United States, one of whom is to be a regularly licensed and practising physician. Should they deem it necessary, they may divide each district into two, and appoint an enrolling ollicsr over each, whose duty it sha.Il be to enroll all persocs subject to militar3r duty before the first of July. This enrollment must include all able bodied men, between the aires of twenty and forty-five years, not exempt by lav.', and all persons of foreign birth not so exempted, who shall have declared their intention on oath to become citizens of the United States; students of colleges, or scholars, teachers, apprentices, sailors, travelling'mcrchants and similar classes of citizens, must be enrolled in the district in which they have their resi dences. ' The draft is to take place under the direction of the Board of Enrollment. A discharge from one draft furnishes no exemption from any subsequent draft. The judges of the various courU cf the United States, the heads of tho Executive departments, and the Governors of States, aie exempt, as also the only son of a wid ow or aged parents dependent upon him for support ; where two or more sons are liable the mother may choose which shall be exempt ; the only i brother of orphan children under twelve years of age, and the father of motherless children of the game age dependent upon him for support, : tlTI ( are also exempt. nen iwo or mors of one household are already in the serv ice, the rest liable, not exceeding two; are exempt.

Certificates from surgeons are to be sworn to before a Justice of the Peace. Examinations are to take place in a well lighted room, in presence of the board of enrollment, and the party to be examined is to be stripped. Toe Reserve Frontier. Guard. Gov. Curtin has received from the Secre tary of War. directions to form a Volun teer force of fifteen., regiments,' of which five will be cavalry, designed, it is under stood, as a defence for the State border in any contingency of raids. .The Gov. we believe, ha3 long desired to organize' such a forco ; and, now that he is author ized, will make avery effort to secure its early completion. We shall, therefore, before very long, have in the field a val uable reserve force "sufficient for State defence and convenient to the General Government, in case of need. . We know, from the lessons of the war, what would be the worth of such a standing assurance of safety to both Government and State. So long as the border is poorly guarded, the temptation to invade is held out to the rebels. But lately we heard that Lee contemplated a new offensive movement northward ; true or not, tho rumor has its warning. The example of Pennsylva nia might be wisely followed by all of the Border States. The- rebellion would thus be confined to narrower limit3, by the preser.ee of a rcscrvo etandiug force. P This move will iyo general satisfaction. ArpnovED by tue Governor The bill passed the Legislature last winter relating to tho payment of our working men in "store orders," &c.. has U signed by the Governor; and is cow It provides that, "It shut! not K en lawful for any iron master, foundry man collier, factory man, cr compaDv, teir wealth, to pay the wages of workmen 0r laborers by them employed, in either print . -i i i i . . . eu, wnuen or vercai oruers, upon storekeeper or suopkeepers, or other dealer or dealers in merchandise or oth article, whether connected iq bus cr with the said iron. master, found irv Ulan collier or factory man cr not.

A Bloodless Duel and a Mueder. A Falmouth correspondent says : It is not often that we havo to chronicle duels here. A one-sided affair of the kind came off yesterday morning at six o'clock, in French's Division. 2d Corps. On tha night previous Capt. Fuller of the lOStli New York became somewhat elated by whiskey, and slapped the face of Lieut. Porter of the same regiment. The latter challenged him, and was on the ground with a pistol and second at the appointed hour. Fuller also appeared, but stated that he was unable to borrow a pistol or procure a second. "That need not inter fere," said Porter, "We will toss up for the first fire. You being the challenged party, may select the number of paces." The tossing ensued, and Fuller won. He then chose four paces. "It will ba noth ing less than murder," said Porter, "but never mind, blaze away." Inserting hi hands in his pockets, he then quietly faced his antagonist. Fuller fired on one siointo the ground and the matter ended. This wa3 a blood less sequel to a sid murder' committed last Wednesday night in Owen's Biijade, Gibbon's Division, '11 Corps. Capt. M' Mauus, of the COtii Pennsylvania, hal spoken of Capt. M'Mahon, of the 71st Penn?ylvcnia, as a coward. M'Mahon ou hearing this, proceeded immediately with a pistol to rl'Mauns' tent, demanded if the assertion had been made by him, arid beintr answered affirmatively, shot hiin. M'Manus fell instantly dead. M'Mahcu is under arrest and will soon bs tried by court-martial. He is from California. His victim vns a native of Ireland, rest ding before the war iu Philadelphia. JDS? The "Opposition" papers in North Carolina are very severe on the "Fire Eaters and original Secessionists," who. according to the utterances cf the special organ ot Gov. Vance, the Raleigh Stand ardy will never be allowed hereafter to hold any cilice of honor or trust whatever in North Carolina. From the s atne source, it appeal's that Jeff. Davi3 has been gtva to understand by Gov. Vance that the fate of the Conledaracy must be decided in Virginia ; that in no ewe will the Con federate army b allowed to make a stand in North Carolina and deluge her field with blood and devastation ; but must, when they leave Virginia, retire i6to the Cotton States, and end the rebellion where it oejr.au. tQ."Ve have, from correspondents ia the Western papers, exposition of a con spiracy in Illinois, designed to resist the Government in the exercise of its lawful functions, and apparently in the interest of revolution. The conspiracy belonssto the Knights of the Golden Circle, a Wes tern branch of a Southern party designed to league the Northwest with the Soath. In portions of Illinois malcontents have been secretly armed to resist the draf- encouraged by the evil teachings of such newspapers a3 the Chicago Tizws. This insidious movement bears, wc are toc, the execration of the great loyal masses, and the soldiers at homo and in tha field. . fiOa Friday, General Hooker ordered a strong reconnoitering force, consisting of the Sixth Army Corps, to cross the Rappahannock below Freder icksburg and stir up the Rebels.
