FOR BIIPREItE JUDGE,
Mina H. LOWRIE, of Allegheny Co.
WILL NOT some of our totem porsries re
produce the Message sent) by Cloy. Curtin
to the Legislature, last wiiiter, announcing
his determination to decline a re-election,
on the ground of ill-health, ,F,:c ? There
are some passages in
,it 'that will read
strikingly curio us in the light of later
events.
Tax Ens Gazette calls the men in Ken
tuCky who voted for Col. Bramlette "true
Unionists." The men in Pennsylfania
who stand upon the same platform almost
precisely, and who support a candidate
pledged to the same principles, it calls.
"copperheads,',' "traitorA," • and "sympa
thizers with the rebels."
Cot.,Far, the Provost Dlarshal General,
has decided that a negrolis not a military
equiValent for a' white man: He has giv
en instructions, though, that a white man
may be received as a substitute for a ne
gro ! If we were to believe the eloquent
stories of contraband valor, as recounted
in some of the .Reimblican papers, two
white men would hardly seem to be equiv
alent for a negro.
Wr esti, special attention to the able
review of Judge, WoouLtan's life and
abilities, by DAVID Peit BROWN, ESQ., of
Philadelphia, published on oi4nit page.
Buowx will be recollected as the gen

editor of
_the Dispatch, in the well known
libel case brought by M. Lowsr. lie is
a leading member of,theLOpposition, and,
his tribute to the merits of our candidate
for Governor, will therefore be the more
worthy of attention. Our friends 'should
\ not fail to place this copy of the Obserrer
In:the hands of their Remblicanneighbom
\ General McClellan's Report.
We ean assure our readers, upon the
best authority, says the Philadelphia Ape,
that Genaral McClellan has not only trans
mitted his'e port to the War Department,
of, the opera tio ns

with an urgent\request that, if the De
partment declined \ the trouble and ex
pense of its publication, he should he‘a -
lowed to publish- it hiniselp at hi, owd e.),t.
Whether the Administ \ ration will grant
him even this privilege is i Very uncertain
and as the rule which fOrtiidshe publica
tion or official reports except \under the
sanction of the War Departme4q, is per
emptory, it is probable that the epuntry
will not be permitted tulearn thetruth
about the campaigns under General 141 -

Gl*. Sal-Nova has issued a proclamation
to the people of New york, urging them
not to indulge in any riotous proceedings
on the occasion of the draft, arid assuring
them of his determination to protect
them to the best of his,ability in all their
Constitutional rights. ie reminds them
thet the theory,of onT government re
quires obedience to all laws until they are
abrogated by the proper authority, and
that the remedy against' unwise and inju
rioris measures on the part of the faction
in power, is at 'the ballot ) 1 box. The tone
of the document is mot excellent, and
it will give Gov. Seymour a still higher
place in the iffections of aatriotic

The draft commenced inkew York city
on Wednesday, hid has been going on
each day since without any difficulty.—
Through the efforts of Gov. Seymour the
quota of tide city has been reduced to
about one-half of its former apportion
ment, th 4 Administration by this act vir
tue/1y admitting the correctness of the
Governoeficlaims. The authorities have
made ample! arrangements to quell any
disturbance.
Ws hear of no active movements on
the part of our Westerrk armies, the in.
Wine heat probably obliging them to
avoid marches, and keep as much as W-
Bible to the protection of their tents.—
Gen. Grant is still at Vicksburg, and Gen.
Banks has returned to New Orleans, and
both are busily engaged in making ar
rangements for the fall campaign. An at
tack upon Mobile,is expected by the reb
els, and • they are actively strengthening
the fortifications about that city. - Gen.
Sibley has gained two victories over the
Sioux Indiana in Minnesota, killing their
leader and capturing his son. It is thought
the Indian troubles in that quarter will
soon be . eirded.

Woman Whipping.
The last,Gazette contains a length arti
cle copied - from the New York kening
Post, pathetically detailing the 'cr elty of
"!woman , whipping," as pract: upon
the female slaves in some of t etotton
growing regions of the South. e fully
agree with our cotemporary in condemn
ing the atrocity of the acts which it men
tions, but we cannot refrain fr om remind
ing it that the South is not t e only place
where such horrid barbaritie s are commit
ted. tiere:iu the N orth ,fwe have fre
quent instances in our criminal records
of "woman whipping," • and one of the
most outrageous that - we have ever read s
has just come to our notice. The editor
of the Gazette will please take notice that
in this instance the cruelty was not prac
:tised upon a negro slave, but on a free
white womaja—one of his' own color and
race :

11 " At Wheeling on the 21st of July, the
jailor of Ohio.county was held to bail in
the sum of $2OO, to answer before the next
county court, for whipping and beating
brutally a female political prisoner. The
testimony before the'alderman was dive6.t,
positive and shocking—and included not
only lashing her across the shoulders with
a cowhide, but dragging her down stairs
by the hair and kicking her on, the way
to the cell, against the incarceration in'
which she protested and resisted. The
facts need no comments."
' We trust that the Caste will not fail .
to cry out as eloquently against this
occurrence, as it has aleady done in
other instances where the affairs tranapi-
red " beneath the,Slave driver's lash."—
The well known humanitarian instincts
of our neighbor could find no possible
subject more worthy Of their employment,
than to. expose and properly denounce
the acts of a monster who can thus wrong
a helpless woman committed to his
charge.. Even the fact of her being white,
instead of black, should not modify any
the less the abhorrence which all lovers of
justice and honor must feel in regard to
the cruelties practiced upon her !
A cotemporary wonders whether the
" Royal Leagues will get up aphotegraph
of this woman's back ? It will well match
the one lately printed in Harper's Weekly.!
.4Avial Butcheries by Negrp Soldiers.
A correspondent of the St. Louis Repub.
lean gives the following account of one of
he moat horrible outrages ever committed
n the country :
"We landed, at a place called Coinpro
rinse, in Tennessee, near the dividing line
between Kentucky and Tenneseee,. and
heard there from neighbors of a most hor
rible murder committed on Tuesday, the
4th. Eighteen negro soldiers, fully armed,
having come from camp on Islind No; 10,
went to the house of Mr. Frank Beckham
on the river, immediately wherelive land
ed this morning, and nillirdered bim, aged
10 years, his told father, Maj. Benj. Beck
ham, aged 80, and four childrenof Mr. F.
Beckham—Laura, aged 14 ; Kate,
10 ; Caroline, aged 7 ; and Richard, aged
years. They first caught Mr. F. Beck
barn and his aged father, tied •.them,
marched them to the edge of the bank of
the river, shot and stabbed them, and
threw their,bodies into the water. They
then threw little Dick into the river ; tied
the two youngest girls together and threw
them in ; then ravished the oldest
and beat her over the head with their
Muskets until she sank down. The bod
ie\of old Major Beckham and the young
est nhild have been recovered. •
I,liiny of our passengers and myself
went to the house and saw them. -
two of the family of children
were- oil' t school, and the mother and
one child fir years old went up to Owens
boro, Ky., wil us on our last trip. All the
rest were mu ered. Twelve of the ne
groes were caught by our cavalry, and are
now confined at and No. 10. Six are
yet at large. The '.. .. ediate motive for
the deed was thong . t to be the fact that
Mrs. Beckham took n • the river with her
a negro girl as nurse, w . ose mother had
run off and was at Islan. No. 10. The
negroes had before endear . red to steal
the girl away, but Mr. : L khain drove
v b \
them off with arms.— The alio e is a cor
rect statement of the murder, w ichl got
from the neighbors and Mr. Max Jehan,
who had just an hour before left hirtiteck
ham's house, and' is now a passenger on
the boat.o
WE HAVE been assailed, as we expected
to be, by several Republican papers, for
saying, in our editorial columns, a few
weeks ago, that the question of the Con
stitutionality of the conscription act should
be taken before the Courts, and their de
clsion in the case be respected by the
public Mil:leers and the people alike. We
are glad to find, though, that Democrats
are not alone in this desire, several of the
most prominent, of the Republican leaders
an:d papers having expressed ainular views,
including Senator Arousal and Jas. T.
BRRDY,=E.sq., of New York, and the Earn
ing Past, of the same city. Mr. BRADY has
written a letter on the ;abject, in which
occurs the following paragraph :

Conscript law—genersily called the three

It}nEL dispatches announce that the
bombardment of Charleston was resumed
on Saturday, and that the firing from
Gen. Gilmore's land- batteries on Morris
Island, and from the Monitors, was chiefly
directed against ~SUmter. The combined
Federal land and naval forces were rep
resented to be engaged, and the firing
was said to be awful. Sumter is reported
to be breached, and the secessionists
about Washington and Baltimore are
gloomy over the anticipated result of the

Judge Daniel Agnew, who 41 jtisi received
the nomination of the so .*tifletf :Republican:
Convention, for Judge of the Sititivtfre Court,
in opposition to the Demoertitie nominee,
Judge Lowrie, has recently Written a very
elaborate pamphlet, which he t?nt01e..4 4 , " Our
national Constitutiou—its adaptiOn to a state
of War or Insurrection." it, its chiefly re
markable as• being the first instance in the
history of•our country, that a Wm* has been
put forth with the avowed object, to prove
that our forth of government is' constitution
ally a despotism. It is also a further evi
dence of the deplore* corruption of the
tithes, and the height to which reckless par
tizanship has reached, in that a ; Judge of u
Court, anti candidate for the highest judicial
post in a sovereign State, can mike his bid
for the support orhis faction by ileliberately
stripping the official position to which he as
pires of all the high powers and prerogatives
assigned to it by the Constitittion,jind laying
the , dignity of the• judiciary the sacred and
inalienable rights of naive& Which it is his
'duty to protect and uphold, • prostrate at the
feet of another branch . of the government,
that in hie proper sphere, it is his duty to
check and control. -
We read in the history tif other nations,
when tyrant ridden and oppressed, of a venal
and -subservient judiciary : We tibd prece
dents of decisions made agailist law, and in
accordance with the commaitils of the mon
arch or the requirements of h pOwerful fac
tion, but the free air of America;has for the
first time been'polluted by tips vo!ei or a ju
t icial officer raised in debased aild cringing
defence 'of executive usurpations; and Ame-
OClills who had fondly drew:tied' that under no
possible circumstances could t they ' be brought
under the yoke of tyranny, they be pardoned
fer beingstartled at this net' dogma of obeli
-,tionism, that our free governinent; based on tt
written Constitution and the wlll, , of the peo
ple, at the occurrence of any of those - events
that happen in the history of all nations, is
liable to be swept away acid supplanted by
the uncontrolled despotism/ ar Whomsoever
may chance to occupy the lexeciitive chair.
Yet, - when the idea of the, learned judge is
stripped of it sophisms and 'ts verbiage, this
most wretched conclusion is all that we have
left from the total wreck Of catistitutional
law.
On page 11 of the judge's pamphlet, in
speaking of the war andpciwers of the
Constitution, he sags I 1
"The two classes to the:extent that they
infringe, are inherently contradictory, and
cannot be exercised together. Far bastanee,
in time 'of peace, life, liberty and property
are sacred, and cannot be taken away except
by due process of law. Apply these guaran
tees`of peace to • time of i war, and they
would forbid the killing of rebels with arms
in their hands, taking theta prisoners, or
capturing their property."
""The peace powers of the Constitution
were no -longer adequate tit maintain its su
premacy. Officers, executive aid judicial,
had been expelled from the, seceding States,
or compelled to yield up their authority. "
P. 12. ,
4 , Force, therefore, was alt that was left to
the Constitution, as its defince skid remedy."
—P. 12. • 1-
Passing over the silly sephistry based on 1
the supposition that any One ever dreamed
of applying the gnaranteee ,of the Constitu
tion. to anted insurgents, the remainder of
;the judge's propositions, applied as they are
10 the seceding Sinks, - would be generally ac
quiesced in. Yet be immediately, argues that
the same rule should govern the States still
connected with the Federal government.
Thus he treats the ten milliOhs of people act
ing under an organized goiernment, in a ter
ritory having boundaries as certain and appa
rent as those of France or tiermany, as in
"insurrection," and assumes that that insur
.rectioir is not confined to the Southern States,
but extends -offer the whole North. (Pages
20 7 t11.) This needs no argument to prove its
error. To all practical intone and purposes,
this War is waged betweed two' nations and
twot 'distinct peoples, as intteth se would be a
contest between France and ilerinany, or be
tween the United States and Brest Britain,
'with Canada and British America alo ng our
northern border. The Confederate States are.
by their recognition as a belligerent, declared
to be a government de forte, though not de
jun. Does then the learned judge intend his
argument to apply to all ware in which the
United States may' be engaged ? Does he
mean to say that, upon a declaration of war
against Mexico or 'Great Britain, the rights
of life, liberty and property cease to have
any protection given them . by the Constitu-
tion, and exist only by exentiVe clemency

ing a time of war in the President . To "bow
this, be quotes some elms" of- the Cot:Rata—
ion. as follows :
The President's oath of aloe: "I do sol
emnly .we that, I will ikiithfally execute the
office of Prsehislapt the United States, and
will to the best of ay qty pres erve, pro
tect. sett defend thetCOnakillition. '
" The Pseeldeet. shall be ' commander-in:-
chief of the army and navy of the 'United
Slates, and oftthe militia of the several Stales
when called into setualservice of the United
stales."
" lle shall take care that the lava be faith
fully executed."
In remarking Upon these provisions of the
Constitution, the judge Says on pm 15:—.
" No government, however despotic could confer
greater power, or provide better means than
the Constitution and laws grant to the Pretti•.,
dent, and this (I beg you to mark it) vigilant
a single proviso or restriction or a' letter of is
etruetion Os to the mode in which he shall pro
ceed." "The Constitutioa and Laws here are
silent" They , give the injunction but pres
cribe no rule or mode of action. ' The whole
is left to the
,itidgmettf of the President."
"They" (the opponents, of the administra
tion) "overlook'the feet that the injunction
of the Constitution, and the acts of Congress
in pursuance, are s grant. of express, unlimited.
and unconditional authority to use the whole
physical force of the nation, .oicprding to his
own intlynn.in, in quelling traitors, their alders
and abettors, anti compelling Them to submit
o the laws."—p, 16.
We can admit none of these deductions of
the learned judge. The very quotations from
which they are drawn themselves prescribe
"the rule end mode of action" and the Unlit
that shall piers the executive. These powers
are expressly delegated, and be can have no
other. He, like every _other branch, of the
government, and like citizens themselves, is
controlled by the supreine law of the land--
the Constitution. The :President has not 'a
grant of " unhand! and "tatc=ar,
au
thority either to suppress an i lion, or
do any other act. • Reduce all this to a simple .
proposition, and we have according to Judge
Agnew, the President. of the United states is
constitutionally a dictator whenever he of his
judgment pronounces, it necessary that 'he
should assume that title and power.'
It may be when the charter of our lib
ertiei sprang from the, blood -and sufferings
of Revolution, a revolution based on the
right of popular government, that those free
men who penned these glorious provisions
that alone distinguish it from the goveintest.
of monarchy, intended , that they
,should all
be rendered void by the , "war powers." It
may be when they enacted thst no citizen
should "be deprived.of life, liberty, or pre
party without due preens of laW," that they
made - a menial reservation,; "unless the Pre
sident
shall consider it. necessary." •
It may. be that when they prescribed s*
oath of office •for the President, that they
meant he ahoikl i d '" preserve, protect and de
fend" the "war powen"• of the Constitution,
and allow the insignificant provisions porn
teing-.the rights of trial by - jtiry, and free
dom of speed' and of the press, and of elec
tions, to become extinit and void. It may be
that when they made the President comman
der-in-chief of "the armies of the United
Stales and of the militia of the several Slates
when called into . the actual service of the
United, fitat," that. they intended at the
same time a\ make him commander of all
other persons, not in the "army of the United
States," and net in the "militia of the United
States," *or called Into the service of the
United States." • But 'it language has any
meaning, certain it is that the framers of otir
fundamental- law did not thus' platiathe ati- -
preme authority in the hands of the execu
tive; rind when ',we recall the objects ter
which that instrument was framed, and the.,
spirit of liberty that animated its authors,' it
is equally
,apparent that they did. not intend
thus to open e. road by whi c h the defenses of
our freedom Could be surprised and destroyed..
We bold that the Constitution is the su
preme law of the land... That the object of
that Constitution was to secure liberty of
thought, apeethend sot, to/ all iho should
come tinder its protection. That the obliga
tions "to preserve, 'Protect., and defend the
Constitution" 'refers to all,of its .provisions
and not" to a part, and that when a " war
policy," or any other thing comes in '°eaglet.
with those .provisions of the Constitution that
secure the liberties of-the citizen, that war
policy, or that other thing must yield, and .
personal rights be maintained. Liberty is
supreme. . Freedom is the object of our laws
and of our government; destroy that and what
