TilE Congressional Conference for this

That Address.
I'hil S. Noon, Esq., in his official capaci
ty of Chairman of the Democratic County
Committee of Cambria county, has seen
fit to dawn upon bis constituents with an
"Address" of two columns and over in
length. We do not remember of ever be
fore . seeing or hearing of a Chairman of
a County Committee of this county figur
ing in the role of author and promulgator
of a like document ; and we are irresisti
bly led to the conclusion that the exigen
cy which demands the appearance of this,
at the present time, must be indeed start
ling. It looks to us very like as if some
of the members of that delectable organ
ization were about to make good their oft
repcated threats of opposition to the ticket
placed iu nomination at their late Conven
tion, and that the "Address" was brought
forth as a probable preventive of all such
unbusincss-like exhibitions of disaffection
and contumacy. However this may be,
the "Address"" is published. And as it
thereby becomes public property, we pro
pose'to dLcuss briefly one point of it, and
only one.
Among a multitude of other sophisms
enunciated by the Chairman as the basis
of the opposition of the Democratic party
to the Union, to the Administration, and
to the war, we find the following:
When he (Abraham Lincoln) assumed
power, pur country was peaceful, prosperous
and happy the admiration of the world
the asylum of the oppressed the home of
liberty."
Democratic politicians and Copperhead
orator34iave iterated and reiterated the
calumny contained in the foregoing ex
tract so often and eo loudly that wo have
iiO d)ubt they have well-nigh come to
believe and accept as truth the palpable
lie. . Let us look at the facts, and see
whether our country was in reality "peace
ful, prosperous and happy" when Abra
ham, Lincoln came into the Presidential
chair. .
It was in the fall of 1860 that the peo
of the South, seizing upon the election of
an anti-OIigarchist to be ruler of , the
nation as a favorable pretext, first em
braced the idea that they would secede.
From Novcuiber of that year until Janu
ary, of the year following, they ventilated
a vast amount- cf gas. concerning what
they would do aud ho-.? they would do it
if they didn't get all their "rights."
Prominent among these "rights," they
held, was the light to dictate who should
be President, and the right geuerally to
do pretty much, as they pleased in the
Union. James Buchanan was at that time
President cf the United States. James
was unhappily a traitor at heart. lie it
was who afforded the conspirators evpry
means within his power to secure their
"rights', through the instrumentality of
helping them rob the national treasury,
deplete Northern arsenals, aud demor
nlize the army and scatter the navy all
(o the especial benefit of our .Southern
v ousir.s, and to the benefit of their schemes
Yd rebellion-. lie it was also who was the
orig.iatr of the highly refreshing idea
that "whilst no State had a right to secede
from the Union, the Coion had no power
to prevent a State fu.'m setting!" James
sat long in the- White House, with his
hands folded across his breast, allowing
the infernal scoundrels of tho South
untrarameled opportunity to get their
"rights;" eat so long, in fact, that he
ouly allowed himself to awake from his
slumber whec, in pursuance of their de
termination to achieve their "rights" by
a grand coup iT etat, the traitors sat down
before Fort Sumter and demanded its
prompt evacuation by the U. S. soldiers
garrisoning it. We suppose James, of
himself, would have been nothing loath
to have acceded to this mild request; and
we are sure his Cabinet would not. But
the pressure of public opinion brought to
bear was too much for the 0. P. F., and he
was constrained to inform the chivalry
that for once, and for the first time, he
couldn't accommodate them.
Here is the point to whicb we desire to
particularly call the attention of the Chair
man of the Dem. "Co. Committee. In
conformity with the unmistakable demands
of the people, in January, 1&61, President
Buchanan dispatched an unarmed vessel,
the "Star of the West," with reinforce
ments and provisions, to the relief of the
garrison at Fort Sumter. -T!us vessel was
fired vpon ly the rebels whilst in the act of
attempting to enter Charleston Harbor.
This, be it remembered, was iu January,
two months piior to Mr. Lincoln's inaug
uration. It will not certainly be held that,
by thus firing on our national ensign, the
rebels did not virtually declare their de
termination to try a tilt with the United
States. It will not be held that, by this
first overt act of treason, the dogs of war
were not let tlip, to uesolate the land.
It will not be held that hostilities did not
as much exist between the government
and the disaffected States immediately on
the firing of the first gun at the "Star of
the West," in January, as they did on
the 12th April, when Sumter was com
barded. It these conclusions be not
denied, and we do not see how they can
be successfully denied, then what be
comes cf the grandiloquent assertion that
"our country was peaceful, prosperous and
happy" upon the accession of Abraham
Lincoln to power !
The fact is, instead of succeeding to the
rule of a peaceful and prosperous country,
on the 4th March, 18C1, when he was
inaugurated President, Mr. Lincoln found
one section of the country arrayed against
the government, and hostilities already
begun ; our forts and arsenals, many of
them, in possession of the insurgents ;
our navy literally scattered to the four
winds ; our army utterly demoralized, and
its most efficient officers all resigned or
resigning; and, to crown all, he found the
very Capital threatened with invasion and
destruction. And as if this were not
enough, the treasury was soon discovered to
be bankrupt, public confidence and securi
ty destroyed, and anarchy and chaos
ruling the hour. These are matters of
record, and all the pronunciamentos of
the Chairmen of all the Democratic Coun
ty Conimitte.es in the world were impotent
to make them go down otherwise into his
tory. "Our couutry was peaceable, prosperous
and happy" when Abraham Lincoln was
called to the Presidential chair! Peace
ful ! and the tocsin of war already soun
ded that was to awake to the conflict
i
two or three millions of people; prosper
ous ! with industry standing stock-still
in tier mills and lactones, awaiting tnc
issue of the conflict between Nation aud
State; happy! in the knowlege that the
knife was already whetted that was to
drink deep of fraternal blood !
"Hereafter, in the fulmination of his
"Addresses," the Chairman of the Demo
cratic County Committee should be more
scrupulous as to his statements.
Hon.. A. JU'Allister, Congressman
from this District, has made a bid for re
nomination by the Copperheads ! On
Wednesday last, when the question came
up before the House of Bepresentatives
whether Slavery, after having incited and
tenaciously upheld a most wicked conspiracy-against
the life of the nation,
should not die, and the Constitution be so
amended as to forever prohibit its revival
in any part of the Republic, our honor
able representative saw fit to deliberately
vote nay. He placed himself on record as
being opposed to sacrificing Slavery that
the Union might live. Mr. Al'A.'s constit
uents have bitterly expressed themselves
a3 greatly dissatisfied with his general
course in Congress. The- Copperhead
portion of these will be unable to find
fault with this vote. -

gua, a colored nuiu, was admitted to the
bar in Rochester, on Wednesday last,
after passing an examination with a large
class of studeuts.

mm a
Congressional.
From the Johnslotrn Trilttne, 1th inst.1
We havo claimed the nomination for
Congress as due to Cambria county, and
we beg our friends throughout the dis
trict not to lightly disregard our rights
For years wo have been steadily fight
ing a hopeless battle tit home, and by
our votes electing gentlemen abroad to
offico for which we have received no
other reward than the approval of con
science.
The time lias now come when, in all
modesty, we can make a request aud ex
pect it to be granted. We offer a candi
date for CoDgress, and insist upon it that
he should be nominated. It should be
done uot reluctantly but with generous
feelinjr, and he should receive an enthu
siastic support. A decent regard for the
lanre body of loyal voters in Cambria
county,-aud their faithful services in
times past, would concede so much, and
the candidate is eminently worthy of it.
Wd claim Mr. Barker's
nomination as due to the county, and to
himself, and we also think that it h the
oest thing for the district at large. He,
more than any other man, will consolidate
the loyal sentiment aud rally the Union
vote. In this county, in particular, -his
name is a tower of strength, and will give
irresistable 4foree to the ticket. lie is
well known iD the other counties, and ha3
this in his favor that he ha3 no bitter
enemies in 7ns own party. The Copper
heads hate him, of course ; and we like
him the better for that reason.
Blair county has no claim ; Hunting
don will have her man ; MiSiin, we believe,
offers no candidate. - We are ic good hopes
that Jlifflin, at least, will support Cambria,
and there is every reason why it should do
so; for we cannot suppose for a moment
that every consideration of justice, and
every obligation of erratitude, will be dis
regarded, and the question decided upon
personal preference alone. We say to the
Lmon men of ivliiilin county you have.
your cnoice between consolidating and
lengthening the Union .party, and fa
voring some particular individual. Upon
your determination depends the success of
the ticket in this Congressional district.
There are many reasons reasons which
is not becoming in us at this time to
advert to which oblige ua to eay, that
the just claims of Cambria county cannot
be disregarded without strengthening
faction, creating strife, and insuring the
election of a Copperhead to Congress. .
Audretv Julinson.
Andrew Johnson
took
strong
ground
carlv in the great struggle, and has
steadfastly held it ever since, iu favor of
the Government against secession and
treason. Iu his speech against Dreckin
ridge in the extra session of 1801; he
said :
"Traitors are got to be fo numerous
now that I suppose treason has got to be
respectable; but, God being willing,
whether traitors be many or few, as I have
hitherto waed war acrainst traitors and
treason, and in behalf of the Government
which was constructed by our fathers, I
Intend to continue it to the end."
In the Senate of the United States, on
being asked by Joe Lane, of Oregon, what
iie would do with the rebels, Senator
Johnson replied in the following strictly
orthodox language :
"The distinguished Senator from Ore
gon, asks me what would do with the
rebels, wero I President of the United
States ? I will tell the Senator. I would
have them arrested, have them tried, and
if found guilty, by the Eternal God, I
would .have them executed.''
Concerning (Xdt. Johnson's present
sentiments, the followings related :
In reply to an officious suggestion made
to Mr. Lincoln, to apprise Andy Johnson
of the policy of writing a radical letter of
acceptance, he said that was wholly un-j
necessary. His reply was euro to bo
radical. To another the President is
said to have remarked : "Don't bo con
cerned, sir; when Andy Johuson was last
here ho said, if it was necessary to carry
on the war for thirty years, he wa3 for
carrying it on." ..
Itotuliialiou or Gen. Fremont.
From the Boston Advertiser. ,
General Fremont, with entire disregard
for the effect upon his own reputation and
his future chances for historical justice,
and certainly with every little prospect of
accomplishing any practical end, has uti-.
1.1 . 1 . 1 I 1 T '-,
aertaKen mac wnicu in nis own worus is
"creating a schism in the party with
which he has been identified," the party
of liberal principles and sound progress
The letter in which ho takes this step, fo
much regretted by many who do not look
unkindly upon brm, is frank and its lan
guage well chosen. Its ideas do not seem
to us, however, to be clearly define!, nor
its views well matured, while we are cer
tain that the conclusion is one which wil
finally brine: shame and mortification upon
General Fremont, though happily, so far
as we can judge of the future, it does not
threaten any serious influence upon the
affairs of the country.
This election, G cneral Fremont remark?,
is not merely a choice among the candi
dates. Wc are at a loss to conceive what
meaning attached in his mind to this
broad statement, which he lujs down as a
foundation-ior his subsequent opinions.
Apart from the fact that he has found no
difficulty in being made a candidate, he
cannot mean to seriously argue that ai
body disputes or seeks to hamper tnc
right to make as many candidates as par
ties may choose, whether in sympathy with
or in opposition to the administration. Nor
can he intend to assert that party disci
pline has been changed so as to diminish
the ordinary freedom of selection. " Of the
measures to which his friends object, as
intended to forestall the votes of the con
vention to-day, the most that can be said
is that they follow the ordinary practices
of parties in power; while it is certain
that they would now be fruitless, were
they not sustained by a great body of pub
lic opinion. But especially docs this ex
pression appear to us inexplicable, when
in a latter part of the same letter we find
General 1 remont undertaking, by the sup
posed terror of his opposition, to interdict
a certain nomination at Baltimore. On
the face of the matter it would seem that
if there in any question as to the right
even to have candidates, it is General
Fremont himself who disputes it, and
that Baltimore is the scene of its jeop
ardy. - .
This declaration as to candidates also
throws into a disadvantageous light Gen.
Fremont's charge that the war is managed
"for personal ends." What are the ends
disclosed by this letter ? A design to un
seat Mr. Lincoln, if possible, even at the
risk of electing a favorite of the Fernando
Wood party, and to secure General Fre
mont's own election, it may be, by that
most desperate of political expedients, an
attempt at schism among his own political
associates. Can any but "personal ends
be discerned here T Can any generous
regard to the public welfare, any large
views of tho condition of our afiairs and
the danorers which threaten, or any efforts
to seek for the most practical rueaus of
advancing the great cause in which we arc
now engaged, be detected here? Wc
think not. The views taken relate to
crsonal issues ; the "ends" are personal ;
and as such they will give a coloring
herealter to. the whole o: General Itc-
mout's political record. -
But General Iremont lays some stress
upon the reformation of certain "abuses"
aud the restriction of certain "extraordi
nary powers," and for this ostensible pur
pose he is willing to" risk a break-down of
the war, a surrender of the government
into the hands of a compromising democ
racy, and an inglorious termination of this
costly struggle. The people of the coun
try will not agrse with him. The people
will not agree that tins is the time to stop
and settle the questions of 'habeas corpus
and military powers, while armed rebel-
ion is not yet suppressed. They prefer
to save "Liberty and Union," not "Lib
erty first and Union afterwards." General
remont will find that he has as little
power to divert them from the great ob-
ect of the moment, and to Ieai them to
nttcr away time and strength upon side
ssucs, as the Democratic leaders, who for
two years have been vainly practicing the
same sort of strategy. Aud in any case,
we suspect the country would question
General Fremont'5 title to the leadership
n any such collateral cruauo : for jnihta-
ry power has seldom been stretched fur
ther and with less cause than by General
remont himself in his military career in
Missouri, while as for tho liberty cf the
press, the fct. lxmis ,veninn Aeics. sup
pressed by him in September, 1801, it wc
eraember rightly, can testify his devotion
o that safeguard of public rights.
JCST" Gen. Grant, by another successful
eft flank movement, has placed his army
on the South side of the James Itiver and
ormed a junction with Butler, and now
hreatens Richmond from the direction of
'etersburg, placing the rebel army in an
exceedingly perilous position. The de-
lences ot the latter city have been assailed
by our forces, but beyond the carrying of
some of their lines of entrenchments and
the taking of several guns and many pris
oners, no result has been arrived at. Le3
is reported to have crossed the James,
to interpose his army between Grant and
ticnmouu. a reat battle cannot much
onger be delayed.
Valiantliguam.
A month ago a report wad put in cir
culation in what quarter we do not now
remember to the. effect that a scheme
was on foot among the Copperheads to
bring Vallandigham from Canada, and to
defy the Federal authority. It appears
to have been well founded, for this indi
vidual has arrived among his friends iu
Dayton, who at once chose him to repre
sent them in the ensuing Chicago Con
vention. Than this last act, nothing
could be more proper. An undisguised
traitor, who would rejoice, as he never
before rejoiced, cu the downfall of the
Government and the complete success of
the rebellion, he, above all other men,
would be at homp iu the Chicago Con
vention. ...
But this view of the subject aside:
The scheme of which Vallandigham's
siidden appearance in Ohio is a part, has
been planned with sole reference to pro
dueingdomesticdiscord, and, if possible, a
revolution in the North. Tried and con
demned as a traitor, he was banished to
the South, instead of being seut to Dry
lortugas, according to the original finding
of the Court. Assisted by the rebels to
escape through the blockade, he found an
asylum in Canada, at a point near the
border, where he could continue to work
mischief and virtually nullify the action
of the Government. Failing to produce
all the mischief he wished, with a bold
ness that proves that he has not acted
solely on his own- responsibility, he
crossed the border and now defies the
Government.
The enly question in the case is. how
ought the Government to act i" There
would seem to be but one way. Vallan
digham's sentence either was or was uot
just. If it was, he has but aggravated
his original offense, and the Government
is bound, not only by every consideration
entering into his case at the start, but by
every consideration that attaches to his
presence here now, to vindicate its former
action and inflict proper punishment for
any new offense that may have been com
mitted. If his sentence was not just, or
if Vallandigham has been punished suffi
ciently, or is loo insignificant for further
notice, then the Government has nothing
to do but to overlook his reappearance in
Ohio with the avowed purpose of defying
its power.
Considering the circumstances of Val
landigham's reappearance, the Govern
ment cannot take this last view of the
subject. Neither his presence or his
purposo can be ignored. The manner of
dealing jrcith him is for the Government
to decide, aud heroin may be some ques
tion of policy, though not of right. The
traitor undoubtedly seeks martyrdom ;
indeed, this is avowed. But the Govern
ment has a principle to vindicate and a
country to protect. While it is hurling
our aruiies upon the rebel. ion, can it
excuse the man who, by every means,
aids the rebellion and openly rejoices in
tneir defeat i I he more extensive the
scheme with which he is connected, the
orous action.
The reappearance of Vallandigharti at
the m:mc!jt when Morgan, no doubt.
intended to bo in Ohio, furnishes crroun j
for connecting t he two. That there exists
a schemejur producing discontent, and,
it poibie, domestic revolution, is scarcely
denied. Of this purpose, with the view !
of affecting the Presidential election, there
lias been warning, new proved to have
been timely, though unheeded.
Whatever embarrassments Vallar.dig-
lam s reapnearance mav impns3 on the
Government and wo do uot see why
they should be deemed to be serious we
are or tho opinion that the event will
impose greater embarrassments on the
Democratic party. It must take or reject
him. They can do neither without crea
ting a division among themselves; -and
however loud the simon-pure Copperheads
may rejoico ia the reappearance of their
favorite leader, another, and, wc believe,
a larger class of Democrats, will wish he
was at this moment in Dry Tortugas, or
some other not less remoU place. l'lts

Proposals
to Abolish
Cum in ii-
The Secretary of War has communica
ted to the President the result of the draft
iu a number of sub-districts, as specimens
ot its efScacy in recruiting, and has there
upon recommended the repeal of the three
hundred dollar commutation clause, and
an immediate draft without pecuniary ex
emption, as the only means of keeping up
the army. As a mitigation of this, he
proposes to draft for a shorter term of
service. The President has transmitted
this to Congreep. We hope that body will
deliberate before it makes this radical
change.
In the first place, tho draft and the
commutation clause havo neither had a
fair trial. The military authorities have
demoralized the draft by various postpone
ments, to encourage the fulfillment of
quotas by volunteering. The-commutation
clause lias i.othad a fair trial because
the commutation money has not been
applied to the procuring of volunteers.
The "War Department has neglected this
means of recruiting the army, which
might havo been worked with great benefit
to the service, apparently under tho idea
that a single campaign was going to finish
the war ; and now Congress is asked to
legislate more" Eevero measures to make up
for ths neglect of the proper means.
Until the War Department lias tried all
the means of raising men by volunteering,
that created the army, it has no cause to
call for this severe measure. . Amor,
these means, a reasonable number of n
regiments might be raised, on the sam
terms as before, to replace those h
