" WEiIcIi IVar or I'cacc ? The Dcm. & Sent, still continues its maniacal ravings against the Administra tion. It seeni3 to view every tiling through colored glasses, and to adopt the sentiment "What good thing can come out of Naza reth ?" Its fiery indignation bursts forth in a red-hot flame in a recent article with the caption "Why the Abolitionists don't want the war to stop." One would think in perusing this article, and others in the same paper, he was reading some blatant rebel sheet "away down South in Dixis." We can see no difference in the sentiments and the revengeful way it belabors the Government and the war. The article in question deals, as usual, in hard names and false allegations. The first one made is that the "Abolitionists are growing rich in affluence on the blood of honest men." Who are these "Aboli tionists," and who are the "honest men" referred to? If by "Abolitionists" are meant all who support the Administration and the Union, the crowd i3 rather a respectable ODe quite a majority, neigh bor ! If it is meant all who are opposed to Slavery, the number increases again. Besides all this, we have a decided plural ity of this same class in the army. Even those who enter the service with pro slavery proclivities soon get their eyes open to tho enormity of Slavery. Who were those who first responded to their country's call? Who arc now enlisting by the thousand?, Copperheads, or those who are driven to the slaughter pen ? No, ho; it has been an uprising of the noble brave who willingly offered their livc3 on the altar ot their country. Are not these game loyal thousands lavishly distributing treasure as well as blood for the suppression of this unholy rebellion? Where is the propriety of bearing false witness against their honesty by branding them with "speculation and rapine ?" That there .is some speculation in the war, we shall not attempt to deny, but we have every reason to believe that many of these cormorants are found in the Copperhead ranks old political hacks who under false pretences have wormed themselves into the employ of the Government, in order to carry out the jascality they learned in their own party. "Old Ben Butler" comes in for his share of anathema. What has he done to merit such a castigation from the secession organs North and South? Or.ce he was the right hand man of Jeff. Davis. Once he had the confidence of the faithful "'now none so poor as to do him rever es ence." 3ut because he was an honest man, and refused to bow the knee to Baal, because he has given his entire energies to the support of the Government, because he has dealt Secessia many a hard -and effective blow, his former ardent friends now repay him by calling him a "beast," and Northern journals with Southern principles re-echo the vile epithet, the Deni. & Scut, joining in the howl. O consistency, thou art a jewel ! Who is meant, in the article referred to, by "mercenary minions of old Lincoln," and by "Yankee hirelings ?" Is it meant the brave soldiers who are jeopard izing their lives for our defence? Or is it meant those who are under the civil employ of the Administration ? In either case, we have no hesitation in saying it is a base slander on the integrity and patriotism of these men, which deserves instant rebuke. . When, in the history of this nation, has any administration award ed place3 of honor and trust with such impartial hand ? Men of all parties have been appointed to poits of honor and distinction, and uo other guarauty has been required than a pledge of 103'alty and capability. And yet all these hih minded men must com under the name of "sanguinary beasts '." New England seems to be a great evesoro to the Dthi. 0 Sent. Hear it prate ! "Since the lauding of these hypocritical fathers (the Pilgrim Fathers) on Plymouth rock, they have engaged in every species of insanity ; New England is the hot-bed of fanaticism and has been the fountain source of all our National evils." " Oh ! ypg; if New England, hated New England, coald only be "left out in the cold," what a satisfaction it would be to all southern sympathizers ! But, pray, of what kind of "fanaticism" has New England been guilty ? Is it her 'schools, academies, and colleges ; her loom and anvil; her ingenuity and witerprise; her commerce and manufactures; her indus try and thrift by land and by sea is it these whieh constitute her "fanaticism ?" Impartial history, we trow, will locate the "source of all our National evils" in the fountain head of Slavery. From this dark and fetid pool has flowed all the evil and distress whieh now overwhelm the land. So says a Dickinson, a Butler, a Johnson, a Gantt, a Maynard, a Holt all good Democrats, and so says every honest-minded man, whether Democrat or Republican. This war costs New England nothing, echoes the Pern. & Sent. False! every word of it false ! It is a base lie, and the eiitor of the Dem. & Sent, knows it. Has she not in common offered of the best blood that flows in her veins ? Were not her sons among the first to answer at the roll call of the nation? And are they Dot among the last to "rally round the flag," and "rally ouco again?" Who but sons of New Eugland first spilt their blood in the streets of Baltimore, as they first spilt their blood at Lexington in the day of the Revolution. "Cost New England nothing !" Has she not freely contributed of her means which have been earned by her own honest toil ? And is not every cent's worth of her property pledged for the support of the Government ? Talk not te us about her eon3 stealing negroes, when tho whole slave system is founded on theft, and when every sympa thizer with Slavery at the North is encouraging theft. They who bring the thief to justice must not be confounded with the thief. Xet not our neighbor cry too lustily "stop, thief," lest he might be set on and dogged down in the chase. It is not the "Abolitionists" who are prolonging the war, but the miserable, whining lick spittles of the North, who are cowardly seeking the overthrow of the Union. These are the sycophants who are forever crying "'peace on any terms," that arc lending "aid and comfort" to their "erring brethren of the South." The marshaling thousands who are now rallying from the hillside and the plain will soon hunt the demon Rebellion to his death. And when the la3t battle is fought, and the last victory won, these Copperhead vipers will become a hissing and a by word through all tho generations to come. It is not enough for the Copperhead press to vilify the Administration, to weaken the public faith, and to discourage enlistments, but it must needs givethe Fi nances astab. The Dem. & Sent gives vent to a characteristic phillipic against our "National Prosperity." It says that "our money lias no real value. It is a mere promise to pay, based upon nothing". Wonderful acumen! No real valae, has it? Then we are already bankrupt, and in as bad a condition as, if not worse than, the so called Southern Confederacy. Not so fast, neighbor; your logic is all bosh. It is a well known fact that our credit is good North and- South, at home and abroad. Through all this dreadful strug gle, we have never asked a foreign loan of a single dollar. Our Secretary of the Treasury i3 accredited upon all hands to bo an able financier, and it is generally agreed he has managed the financial affairs of the nation beyond the most sanguine expectation of the people. But "our money has no real value." Is it not a fact that "Greenbacks" are the most eagerly sought and most carefully preserved of all paper currency? Is it not a fact that every man will pay out all the rags in his pocket before he will gie one of these same Greenbacks? And yet our money 'has no real value. Strange inconsistency ! "Promises to pay, based on nothing." The "United States prom ises to pay ;" therefore the United States is nothing! What an exalted opinion our neighbor must have of his Government! Away with such captiousness; put your shoulder to the wheel, instead of placing obstructions on tho track to cripple the motion of the ship of State, and push on the column. Ed, The dead lock in our State Senate has at last been happily broken, Dr. Thomas St Clair, the newly elected Senator from the Indiana district, having taken lu3 seat in that body. The people have spoken, and the wheeU of the government again revolve. Dr. St Clair's oflicial majority in I113 district was 1,091, Armstrong counfy giving .him n small majority. Call Tor a Republican national Convention. I The National Union Committee', met at the residence ot Hon. Edward D. Morgan, in Washington, Feb. 22d, at noon, and was called to order by that gentleman as its chairman. Hon. Edward M'Pher3on, of Pennsylvania, was elected secretary of the committee in place of Hon. George G. Fogg, of New Hampshire, who is absent from the country. Upon consultation, a call was unani mously adopted for a national convention in the following terms : 'The undersigned, vho, by original ap pointment, or subsequent designation to fill vacancies, constitute the executive committee created by the National Convention held at Chicago, on the 16th day of May, 1860, do hereby call upon all qualified voters, who de sire the unconditional maintenance of the Union, the supremacy of the Constitution and the complete suppression of the rebellion, with the cause thereof, by vigorous war and all apt and efficient means, to send delegates to a Convention to assemble at Baltimore on Tuesday, the 7th day of June, 18G4, at 12 o'clock, noon, for the purpose ot presenting candidates for the offices of President and Vice President of the United States. Each State having a representation in Congress will be entitled to as many delegates as shall be equal to twice the number of electors to which such State is entitled in the Electoral College of the United States." A resolution was also adopted, inviting the territories and the District of Columbia to send delegates, subject to the -determination by the Convention of their right to vote. The committee was entirely harmonious in its proceedings, and adjourned in the best possible spirits. Last week's Cambria Tribune critici zes severely the failure of our Represen tative in Congress, Hon. A. M'AlIister, to vote either aye or nay on the final passage of the Enrollment bill, andclasses him with -that contemptible set known as "dodders." Wc think our honorable Representative must have been away from Washington city at the time of the passage of the bill. ' Had he been present, we are convinced he would not only have voted, but voted arijlit. Our impression is, that Ue is neither ashamed nor afraid to go down on record as a true friend of the Union. - .lnco2a-c:iase. Elsewhere we publish the celebrated Chase Circular, concerning which eo much has been said and "written of late. The Circular is now chimed to be a forgery, gotten up by some one simply for " the purpose cf obtaining an expression of the sentimeut of the country on the Presiden tial .juration. If this latter was' its mission, it wa3 successful, for a very general expression of opinion has followed its publication ; if it is a genuine. document, then the following strictures from the Tittsburg Gazette become eminently ap propriate, embodying as they do our convictions in the matter to the dotting ot an i, or the crossing of a t : We have net one word to say against the fitness of Mr. Chase for the high office of President of I he United States. He is a statesman and a patriot. He is anti slavery to the backbone. He is certainlv honest. If ho should receive the nomina tion for the Presidency by a convention of our party, we would work for him up to the day of the election with all the ability we possess." If elected, as we believe he would be if fairly nominated, we feel sure that he would make a good President. Having said thi3 much by way of in dorsement of Mr. Chase's fitness, we feel that we have some right to criticise the means by which his nomination aud elec tion are sought to be secured. Mr. Chase and his interests are not in good hands. We might almost say that Mr. Chase is not in good company. For weeks the country has known that there was a move ment on foot to make him President upon tho conclusion of Mr. Lincoln's term. The nature of that movement the fingers with which it was manipulated the oil which lubricated it were not so well known. Its secrets, however, have been at last disclosed. The telegraph yesterday morning bro't us two items of important intelligence one to the effect that the National Repub lican Committee, of which Senator Morgan is Chairman, had adopted a call for a national convention to meet at Baltimore on the 7th day of June next; another consisting of the Chase circular, which advocates the nomination of Mr. Chase by the convention just called. Both .docu ments the call and the circular were evidently the result of concerted, as they were of simultaneous action. Tho "Chase movement" produced them. We object to both. If there were no other reason, we object to the call for the convention because it has been hitched on to the movement in favor of Mr. Chase. But we object to it for other reasons.. It is premature. The Union party of the country had not called for it. Tho puplic mind was not prepared for it. The mili tary situation forbade it. The action of the Opposition party in .calling their convention to meet ti.inonth later, viz : on the 4th of July, absolutely prohibited it as a matter of common sense. We hope we earnestly hope that the Committee may bo induced to reconsider their action and postpone the holding ot the conven tion until August or September. Touching the circular, we do not hesi tate to say that we do not like its tone. More than this, we do not like its assertions. It is not manly. It is not truthful. It is mean. This base attack upon Mr. Lincoln and his Administration will not make any friends for Mr. ChaEe among honorable men. Proclamation by llie Governor. Governor Curtin has issued the follow ing proclamation, cautioning the citizens of Pennsylvania and Pennsylvania veter ans against volunteering from other States: Whereas, For some time past it has been known'that persons, professing to be agents of other States, have been busily tampering with our citizens at home and in the army, endeavoring, by false repre sentations, to induce individuals to enter or re-enter the service as from those States, and remonstranees have been in vain made against tho continuance of this paltry system of seduction ; And Whereas, Information baa now been received that one of the regiments of Pennsylvania (the "Bucktails" Ed.) has enlisted almost bodily as from another State ; and it appears to be necessary to take some public means to rait our citizens on their guard against the arts by which results so disastrous to the men and their families may be effected in others of her regiments which Pennsylvania has de lighted to honor : . Now, therefore I, Andrew G. Curtin, Governor of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, do issue this, my proclama tion, addressed to all citizens of the Commonwealth, but especially and emphat ically to her veterans in the army, cautioning them against allowing them selves to be seduced from her service. By enlisting in regiments cf other States they deprive their families at home of that generous and liberal aid which our law has provided for them as a right, and not as a charity ; they will not enjoy the right of suffrage which an approaching amendment of the Constitution will give to our absent volunteers ; they cut them-, selves loose from the ties which bind them to their hemes, and which bind Pennsylvania to give them constant care and assistance in the field, an obligation which our State has never neglected. If wounded or sick, they will no longer be fostered '07 our agents, and received with applause and consideration, as men who have done honor to Pennsylvania; they bring the history of their regiments to an abrupt close ; their names will no longer be entered oa our rolls: all the dorious recollections of their valor and sullerings will be sickened by the fact that they have abandoned their native State ; deserted the great Commonwealth under whose banner they have earned for them selves end for bcr the highest reputation for courage and all the martial virtues, and that they have done this under inducements which are in fact unfounded, and at the very time when their friends and neighbors at home were preparing for them bounties probably larger than those offered by other States, and certainly much larger, if the support afforded to their families be taken into account. I therefore appeal to our noble volun teers not to abaudou .the Commou wealth. She has been proud of the glory which their course hitherto has shed, abundantly on her. As a mother she has a right to the honors to be won iu future by her children. Stand by her, and she will stand by you, and you will have the richest reward in the grateful affections and sympathies of your families, your friends, your neighbors and your fellow, citizens. . But if you leave her for the service of other States, you throw away all these, for their people will regard you merely as mercenaries, and when they have fulfilled their bargains, will leave you and your families to shift for yourselves. Recollect your homes and your families anl your friends and the banners which the Com monwealth first bestowed upon you, which you have carried so gloriously upon many a bloody field, and which, defaced by shot and shell, but still bearing the names of the battles hi which you have been dis tinguished, she has provided for receiving at the close of the war, aud preserving, a3 holy relics of your patriotism and devo tion to the cause of our common country. These things are worth more to you and to your children than money. Do not grieve and disappoint your friends by abandoning them all. I take this occasion to enjoin upon all Magistrates, District Attorneys and other officers, a strict vigilance in enforcing the laws of this Commonwealth against all persona who shall within this State at tempt to recruit volunteers for other States. A. G. CURTIN. Owing to the fact that tremendous accessions are now being daily made to our armies, through volunteering, Con. gress has extended tho time for the payment of bounties until the 1st of April. This is understood to be equivalent to the postponement of tho draft until that date.

Tue Cliase Circular. strictly private. "Washington, (D. C.) February, 18G4. Sir : The movements recently made throughout the country to secure the re nomination of President Lincoln render necessary some counteraction on the part of those unconditional friends of the Union who differ from the policy of his Administration. So long as no efforts were made to forestall the political action of the people it was both wise aud patriotic for all true friends of the Government to devote their influence to the suppression of the rebell ion. But when it becomes evident that party machinery and official influence are being used to secure the perpetuation of tho present Administration, those who conscientiously believe that the interests of the country and of freedom demand a change in favor of vigor and purity and nationality have no choice but to appeal at once to the Jioople, before it shall be too late to secure a fair discussion of principles. Those in behalf of whom this commu nication is made have thoughtfully pur veyed the political field, and have arrived at the following conclusions : 1. That, even were the re-election of Mr. Lincoln desirable, it is practically impO'sYiyle against the union of influences which will oppose him. 2. That should he be re-elected his manifest-tendency towards compromises and temporary expedients of policy will become stronger during a second term than it has been in the first, and the cause of human liberty and the dignity and honor of the nation suffer proportion ately ; while the war may continue to languish during his whole Administration, till the public debt shall become a burden too great to be borne. ST That the patronage of the Govern ment, through the rfecefsitics of the war, has been so rapidly increased, and to such an enormous extent, and so loosely placed, as to render the application of the "one term principle" absolutely essential to the certain safety of our republican institu tions. 4. That we find united in the Hon. Salmon I. Chase more cf the qualities needed in a President during the next four years than are combined ia any other" available candidate; his record, clear and unimpeachable, showing him to be a statesman cf rare ability, and an administrator of the very highest order, while Ids private character furnishes the surest obtafning guaranty of economy and purity in tho .management of public affairs. . 5. That the discussion cf the Presiden tial question, already commenced by the friends of Mr. Lincy'.n, has developed a popularity and strength in Mr. Chase unexpected even to his warmest admirers ; and while we are aware that this strength is at present unorganizecLand iu no con dition to manifest its real magnitude, we are satisfied that it only needs systematic aud faithful effort to develop it to an extent suScient to overcome all opposing obstacles. For these reasons, the friends of Mr. Chase have determined on measures which shall present his claims fairly and at once to the country. A central organization has been effected, which already has its connections in all the States, and the object cf which i3 to enablo his friends everywhere most effectually to promote hi3 elevation to the Presidency. We wish the hearty co-operation of all those in favor of the speedy restoration of the Union upon the basis of universal freedom, and who de sire an administration of the Government, during the first period of its new life, which shall, to" the fullest extent, develop the capacity of free institutions, enlarge the resources of the country, diminish the burdens of taxation, elevate the stamlard of public and private morality, vindicate the honor of the Republic before the world, and in all things make our Ameri can nationality the fairest example for imitation which human progress has ever achieved. If these objects meet your approval, you can render efficient aid by exerting yourself at once to organize your section of the country, and by corresponding with the Chairman of the National Executive Committee, for the purpose of either re ceiving or imparting information. Very Respectfully, S. C. POUEROY, Chairman National Executive Committee. EnThc Conference committee having agreed, Congress on 2Gth ult., passed the bill creating the rank of lieutenant general. It was duly engrossed and signed by the President, who was at the Capitol at the time of its passage. The same night the President issued the commission of lieut, enant general to Ulysses S. Grant, of Illinois, who thus holds the only position ever conferred on any person in this country except George Washington, Gen. Scott's rank of lieutenant general being merely that of brevet. The new law is so worded that the lieutenanent general is only ex-ofiicio commander-in-chief of all tho armies and therefore it does not disturb Halleck unles3 the President requests him to retire. At a caucus of Union men at Columbus , Ohio, on Friday night last, the following resolution was adopted : "Resolved, That in the opinion of this Convention the people of Ohio, and her soldiers iu the army, demand the rcnom ination of Abraham Lincoln to the Presidency of the United States." The members spontaneously arose to their feet, and gave cheer upon cheer at the commencement of the passage of the resolution. TTnW TO TT? VAT T.Tnr-nTTvi- i "uuuii.ii,o.
