Actions Speak Louder than Words
The Harrisburg Telegraph has the follow
ing truthful commentary upon the Senator
ial Canvass in our district. How any Demo
crat, pretending to be loyal to his country
and the larger portion of them pretend to be
such can hesitate, as to this matter, we fail
to see. They must, if at all consistent with
their professions vote for lIAINEs.
In the last State Senate, Dr. E. D. Craw
ford was regarded as among its ablest mem
bore, and while he was in the opposition to
the great principles which are now repre
sented by the state and national administra
tion, lie never lorg,ot for a moment that he
owed a duty to his country, from the dis
charge of which no party mandate or caucus
dictation could intimidate or restrain him.
When the resolution instructing our U. S.
Senators to vote for the expulsion of the
miserable spy, informer and traitor, Jesse D.
Bright, was before the State Senate. Dr. Craw.
ford urged, and voted for its passage_ This
incensed the whippers in for his district, and
on account of this Dr. Crawford was rejec•
ted; when he was actually the choice of two
thirds of his party for renomination. His
sin was too great for forgiveness. He had
voted for the humiliation and disgrace of a
traitor, and that was an insult—an outrage
to Democracy. 4lence his rejection.
George H. Bleher is the candidate nomi
nated over_ Dr. Crawford. Bucher was op•
posed to the expulsion of Bright. Hence
his nomination. This is a bitter pill for the
independent men of Cumb •rland,• Perry,
Juniata and Mifflin to swallow.' Of course
the attempt will be made to administer it.
Kirk Haines, who is the loyal Union candi•
date, and is withal a man of sterling good
parts and excellent qualifications, will be
made the Senator from this district.
What the Soldiers think
The following excerpt from the army cor
respondence of the Phila. Press, is a very fair
evidence of how our country's armed dofen•
ders esteem Frank Hughes and his party.
When -reflected from a loyal Mirror, they
make no enviable shadows.
Fresh from Pennsylvania, where the apathy
of Hie people in regard to the development of
this treasonable purpose impressed me as be

A LAST APPEAL
Tuesday next is the day for the final ad..
judication of the ,great political questions
now having their final hearing in our county
and State. As this is our last opportunity of
conversing with our readers, we think it not
amiss to give them a word of counsel and
advice.
We have presented to us this fall, a con
test as novel as it is important. A great
civil war is threatening the life of the na
tion, and the contending armies are in the
death-grapple for:ex'stence. The ma'sfcher
ished principles of free government are on
trial before the woild, and all Europe is
breathlessly awaiting the verdict of the can
non. All questionA and issues of minor
importance have been swallowed up in this
one great struggle, and the nation is gath
ering its forces and measuring strength for
the final and decisive blow.
Strange to say, in a crisis like this, when
every patriot is nerving his arm, to strength
eh and maintain the government, we have here
in free Pennsylvania, a reckless and danger
ous faction, who with FRANK Unarms at their
head have dared to raise the tory standard of
opposition to its war policy. This, at first
insignificant cabal, has succeeded by the most
infamous chicanery, in obtaining the control
of a great party, the masses of which if left
untrammeled by traitorous emissaries, and
trading politicians, would have remained
steadfast in their loyalty. But which has been
duped by this iniquitous combination into the
support of a ticket, the success of which would
prove more disastrous to tile best interests of
the country, did of consequent comfort to the
common enemy, than a dozen defeats of our
Union armies. In this eraergency, the friends
of the Union and the government, without
distinction of party, have endeavored' to de.
feat and countervail the treasonable machina
tions of these conspirators, by asking the sup
port of the people, for a ticket composed of
men, known to have the single purpose of re
storing our government to its original genius
of liberty and equality. To elect this ticket
is at once to strengthen the hands of our gov
ernment and our armies, and to 'strike such
terror into the hearts of its enemies, as to
render the ultimate triumph of liberty swift
and certain. It is a duty incumbent upon
every mon who feels that he has a country
and a government worth supporting to turn
out and contribute his entire energies to the
elect ion, of Coonamt and Ross, and our entire
District and County tickets. Its defeat. at
this time would prove the direst calamity.
On the congressional question we believe
we speak the sentiments of the honest mas
ses, when we say that Mr. Bailey the nomi
nee of the Union Democrats, for Congress
has by his patriotic( course in Congress, on
the vital (piestions presented for the consid.
oration of that body, placed himself ole•irly
on the platform of unflinching hostility to
treason, and has thereby earned the support
of every voter who feels that earnest, cor
dial devotion to the Union, in these days of
reercancy, deserves recognition.
Of our senatorial, legislative and county
ticket, we we have already spoken at length.
We believe additional argument is not need.
ed to insure for it the most active and car
nest exertions of the Union loving men of
all parties. Rally to its support, and the re . •
salt will more than repay yo'ur efforts. Here
we leave the question in your hands, — with
the closing injuction that you go to work
at once, and leave no stone unturned to ac
complish the triumphant election of the en
tire ticket.
DOMESTIC TREASON
Our.readcrs have seen the resolution, drawn
up in 18tH by F. W. Hughes, to precipitate
Pennsylvania into the rebellion. It was so
monstrous a proposition that, when its author
read it to various members of the Democratic
State Convention, to which it was to be pre.
settled, they were aghast at, his treason, and
in the resolution committee of that conven
tion one man, a t least, threatened to throw
him and his resolution out of the window, if
he dared to offer it. Iv, fact, the indignation
was then so great that Hughes deemed tI pru
dent to withold it. But, nevertheless, the
matter got bruited abroad, and, being now
well proven against him, he unblushingly
avows it over his own signature. This man
is not only the Chairman of the Democratic
State Central Committee, hut he is the most
prominent candidate for the Democratic nomi
nation to the U. S. Senate, in case his party
should carry the majority of the ligislature
This is his platform : " The secession of Penn.
sylvania from the Union, and her league with
the rebel Stales." It is his platform as we
now know from his distinct and emphatic
avowal. his mouth piece in this city Bays
the Phila. North American, takes up his dec
laration and approves each sentence , in
and accepts the whole as the platform of the
Democratic party in Philadelphia. Any veto,
therefore, castat this election for a Democratic
candidate for the Legislature, however it may
he intended, will practically be a vote for-the
rebellion of Pennsylvania against the national
grernutept—a rote for the secession of the
Sate from the Union, and for the acceptance
of the yoke of the re . ocl oligarchy of the cot•
ton States.
We showed yesterday, by the proceedings
of a Democratic meeting held at National Hall
on the 16th of January, 1861, that the reso
lution of Hughes was identical with the posi•
tion then deliberately assumed by the party.
In order that there might not be any doubt
on that point, the preamble to the resolutions
adopted by. that meeting began with lho an
nouncement of the authority adopting them,
as " the Democratic citizens of Philadelphia"
who were "in genonil mass !fleeting assem
bled," and it went on to say that they deemed
it,n their duty to announce to their fellow cit
izens of the nation their deliberate:judgement,
their hopeti, their fears nod theirAntention`s."
Nor did even this emphatic statement satisfy
them, for they further..' said: " We meet as a
distinct political organization ;" and that there
might be no doubt as to who composed this
"political organization" they added."
" We aro a part, of the two hundred and
thirty thousand electbrs of Pennsylvania who,
by their votes and co•operat.ion, meant to ex
press complete and thorough sympathy with
our southern brethren, and recognition, in
the most absolute and extended form, of the
rights of the south as claimed by southern
Statesman, and affirmed by-the Supreme Court
of the United States."
Thus this meeting was no accidental nor
irresponsible assemblage. It represented the
Democratib organization, spoke authoriiively
for it r and its declarations stood,. Dal still
ettind, on the record 'uncontradioted7y the
Democratic committees or leaders in this city,
What, then, was it that the Democratic party
. so ileliberatily and cztrefully announced*
its platform on that ocoasion? We re-pro•
di:toait
ttliYe — are, therefore, utterly-Opt - iced loamy
, sueh &compulsion as is demanded' by a portion
thititopublican party, and the Democratic
61E11, pf the north will, by the use of all con
stitutional'means, and with its moral and pe-,
OW Winona°, oppose any - such extreme
policy, or a fratricidal war thus to be inaug
urated.'
"TWelfth. That in the deliberate judgment
of the Democracy of Philadelphia, and, ho far
as we know it of Pennsylvania, the dissolution
of the Union, by%the separation of the whole
South—a result wo shall most sincerely la
ment—may release this commonwealth to a
large event from the bonds which now con
"met her with the confederacy, except so far
as fur temporary 'convenience she chooses to
submit to them, and would authorize and re-•
quire' her citizens, through a convention to be
assembled for that purpose, to determine with
whom her lot should be oast, whether with the
north and east, whose fanaticism has precipi
tated this misery ;upon us, or with our breth
ren of the south, whose wrongs we feel as our
own; or whether Pennsylvania should stand
by herself, as a distinct community, ready
when occasion offers to bind together the bro
ken Union, and resume her place of loyalty
and devotion."
These declarations were' net, as might be
charitably supposed by some, that m6re propo
sitions of men desiring to effect a oompromise
of the troubles at any price, for the ninth res
olution distinctly says, "we express the
fixed opinion." They are identical in semi
ment with Hughes' secession resolution, in
which he attempted to delude Pennsylvania
into joining the rebellion, as follows:
" She cannot, then, refuse to perceive that
she must either take her place in some morth•
ern fragment of a once glorious Union, and
rest content to be shorn of the greater part
of her manufacturing industry, and of her ex
port and import trade—to hold a secondary
and helpless relation to the northeastern
States, with no outlet or approach from the
ocean for her great eastern or great western
metropolis, except through the waters and be•
fore the forts and guns of a foreign nation,
and thus prtimically (for want of ability to
protect) be made to yield up all reliable di
rect foreigp trade.
" Or she may, if fl member of the new con
federacy, become the great manufacturing
workshop for a people now consuming annu
ally $300,000,000 worth of products and
manufactures front and imported through the
northern States ; her cities become the great
commercial depots and distributing points for
this confederacy, and her wealth, population
and glory be promoted in a degree unparal
leled in the history and prosperity of any peo
ple."
The principal organ of the party here yes
terday endorsed alkthese treasonable decla
rations. This is what it said:
" If the abolition to which we have referred
to make the issue note, whether or not Penn
sylvania, in the event of a disruption of the
Union, (produced by the joint efforts of alto.
lit ion and secession advocates.) shall, or shall
not, become subject to the Yankee States, and
dependend ane n t their seacoasts for communi
cation with Ettrop6;_we believe that the Dem.
oprats and all other -conservative. men is the-
State will meet them on that issue and lake
their chances on the result of the ballot -box.
* * a a * a
What evils may yell; resulk,from the of
fects of their 'pressure' upon the President,
inducing his ill judged proclamation, and the
unlawful prosecution and imprisonment, of
loyal citizens of the north, and from what they
may hereafter do, or cause to be done, we
cannot fortell; but that all they may do will
have an'evil tendency we cannot doubt
may bring Vie very ,result contemplated in
Mr llnglies' resolution. They have done
much in this direction, and will doubtless do
much more, If they succeed, then the people
of Pennsylvania will he called on to consider
the words of that resolution "
Ilere the issue is squarely presented to the
people in order that they may fully compre
hend that if the Democrats succeed in the
present Slate election, they purpose, if they
can, to make an effort to take Pennsylvania
out of the Union and unite her to the slave
oligarchy of the ,south. These are the men
who have behn for seventeen months swag=
gering over the • assumption that Democrats
have filled the armies and cobght battles of
the republic in this war. These are the men
who, under various false, pretexts, have sought
the confidence of the soldiers, and who now
avow that if they could limy would lead them
over to the ranks of the rebels. Mr. Whar
ton said (or them, at the National Hall -meet
ing, "our interests are with the south "
Mr. Vincent L. Bradford, at the same meet,
ing, said also for them :
'• To the howl of the demon of. civil discord,
for military coercion, for chains and slavery
to be fastened on subjugated kindred, this
meeting, and very soon the masses of Penn
eylvania, will, I doubt not, utter in tones of
thunder a stern rebuke, and insist that there
shall he peace, not war—constitutional con
ces,dons. not military coercion "
There cun, therefore, be no dodging this is
sue. The Democratic party arrays itself, as
a party, distinctly against the maintenance of
the national Union. It declares its vehement
determination not to sanction - the enforcement
of the laws, not to fight the south, not, to al
low the loyal States to fight the South, and
generally to uphold the south at all hazards
Can any loyal man support the candidates of
such a party
ttreZ - - We have been requested to publish
the following letter in refutation of the charge
specified therein
To the Jiditor of the Democrat : •
DEAR Sr.—My attention has just been
called to a communication, signed "A
Looker On,'' in the York Gazette of last
week, in which the writer declares that he
"happens to know that a letter was read in
the Repiddican Congressional Conference,
held at. Bridgeport, un the 25111 ult., from
Mr. Bailey' himsell." 1 now declare upon
my lumpy, that I did not write a letter to
said Conference or to any single member of
it, or to any member of the Republican par
ty, or any other party, on the subject of the
Republican nomination fur, Congress. I
therefore brunt the declaratitins of "A Look
er On" as wilfully and maliciously - false.
I shall forward a copy of this letter to
each editor in the district, requesting its
publication, Very respectfully,
JOSEPH BAILEY.
air Since the receipt of the above card
from Mr. Bailey, we see published in the
York papers, a card by li. C. Parkhurst, and
C. A. Flinefelter, the Republican Conferees
from York county, in which they say that
the assertion of the writer in the Gazette is
false in every particular, and.dd :
As Conferees, present during all the de
liberations of that body, we desire to give
the above statement the most emphatic and
unqualified denial. No letter whatever from
Mr. Bailey was rend in the Conference, and
no letter was received from, nor communi
cation had with him, either by the Confer
ence as a body, or by the individual Con
ferees. Mr. BailA has so far as we know,
made no pledges or promises whatever."

TO THE LOYAL PEOPLE OF
• . PENNSYLVANIA.
. The recent and formal admission of the
Chair Man of the Breckinridge State Central
Committee that he prepared and was ready
to present to a State Convention of his owir
friends-a resolution contemplating the dis,
memberment.' of these States at a period
when the cotton States 'hail seceded, and
when all American patriots were agonized
betiveen doubt and fear, imposes upon the
National Union State Central Com mitee an
imperative duty. We do not add reSsi our
fellow citizens as alarmists—we make to
them no partisan appeal—when we declare
that this admission, immediately before an
election for members of Congress and for
other representative, judicial and muncipal
officers, demands not only rebuke and repu-_
diation, but such measures'of precaution and
prevention as will defeat the design now ful
ly disclosed to tear our great old State f: om
that national. family circle of which she has
been the strongest stay and the most beau
tiful adornment. The Breckinridge organi
zation in Pennsylvania cannot escape the
solemn accusation of being entirely corn
mitted to this design. The terrible alterna•
tive coolly contemplated by their chairman,
had been previously suggested at a so-called
Democratic meeting, held in the city of
Philadelphia, at National Hall, on the 16th
of January, 1861. The resolution there
adopted was as follows;
"Twelth That in the deliberate judge
ment of the Democracy of Philadelphia, arid,
so far as we know it. of Pennsylvania, disco
lution of the Union, by the separation of
the whole south—Ai result we shrill most sin
cerely lament—may release this comMOil
wealth to a large extod from, the bowls which
now connect her with the Confederacy, except
SO fit r as for temporary c mrenicire she chas
es to .submit to them, and would authorize
arid require her citizens, through a conven
tion to be assetn bled for that purpose, to de
termine with whom her lot should lie cast—
,whether milt the, north and cast, whose jaw!,
licism has precipitated this mixers 71110 n ,U 3,
or with our brethern of the south, whose
wrongs we fret as our own . ; or Whether
Pennsylvania should stand by herself, as a
distinct community, ready when the the oc•
casiori offers to bind together a broken Union,
and resume her place of loyalty rind devo
tion."
In order to prove the treasonable purpo
ses of the leaders of the party of which Mm
Hughes is the represenative, it is only nec
cessary to state that nearly all their iler3
and words from January and February, IPGI,
down to the present time, have been so
many proofs of their conviction of the jus
tice of the views contained alike it) the re
solution adopted at National Hall, Philadel
phia, in,lanuary, 1861, and in that prepared
'mil purposed lo be offered by Mr. Hughes
to a Democratic Sta te Committee in- Febru
ary of the same year. They may not in ex•
press terms have endorsed the suggestion to
drag Pennsylvania out of the Union, but in
nearly every courity convention they adopted
resolutions and proclaimed sentiments, the
object and 'effect of which were to embarrass
the general Administration, which is always
the, embodiment of the government, and 1113-
vs; more so than in these dark and trying
hours ; and so to prepare the way for that
devastation and ruin which must. result from
the separation of the Republic, so earnestly .
desired both by the armed and unarmed foes
of our common country.
Regarding, therefore, th'e resolution now
admitted and affirmed by the Chairman of
the Breckinridge State Convention , as the
real platform of the BreckinriAa, leaders it
is our right and our duty to discuss its reme
dies for our national difficulties. This reso
lution offers to Pennsylvania no inducement
to remain with the Free States, but attempts
to bribe her to join the revolting and slave
holding confederacy. It contains few words
that- appeal to those immortal memories
which have sanctified the Union to the he +Hs
of all Our peoPle, but it designs to present
strong commercial and sectional and disloy
al. rcaF,:ms, as so many temptations to sway
our. people from ] their hereditary and relig
-loos-patriotism.- -We are-told in-this-resole-
Lion of the Chairman of the Breckinridge
State Committee that, in the event of n sep
aration, Pennsylvania "roust either take
her place in some northern fragment of a
once glorious Union, and rest content to 11. ,
shorn of the greater part of her manulactur•
jug industry and of her export and import
trade," * * "or she may, If a member
of the new confederacy, become the great
manufacturing workshop for a 4 people now
consuming annually three hundred millions'
worth of and manufactures from an.l import
ed through the northern States; her cities
become the great commercial depots and
distributing points for this confederacy, and
her wealth, population, and glory be promo
-.ted in a degree unparlleled in the history and
, prosperity of any people." Arid then Mr.
Hughes, the Chairman of the Breckinridge
State Committee, says "th it will be the
right and duty of her eiliZO , 8 " (that is, the
people of Pennsylvania) "to consult their
own best interests in a position so momen
tous. and decide the LAWFUL A LTERN A
TI V ES."
Loyal men of Pennsylvania, these alter
natives are now presented to you ; it is for
you to decide at the election, on tha 14th of
October, whether you will go for the old
Union and the old Constitution, or whether
you will accept the bribe offered by the sym
pathizers with secession, and commit your
destiny to the infamous experiment of a
slaveholding Confederacy. This great issue
has not been preoPtited by the National
Union Committee, but by the representative
of the opposition to the Administration and
the war. We submit it to our fellow citizens,
and trust their verdict at the ballot box will
show that they are not n.196'1.111'1 of this
pregnant and suggestive tultuouition,

. J. Ho WARD,
TO THE PEOPLE OF PENNSYL
VANIA.
The State Committee appointed by the Un
ion State Convention, which assembled at
Harrisburg cii the 17111 day of July last,
deeply impressed with the important conse
quences which are dependent on the result of
the general election4o be held on the 14th
instant, again address you. In the midst of
military excitement, and the peril of actual
invasion by the armed forbes of the rebels
who have risen against the just authority of
the government—a peril which has been pre
vented by the gallantry of cur troops and the
enthusiastic) rally of our people at the call of
our Goveruer- r the considerations connected
with the action of the voters at the polls have
been largely lost sight of, and failed to im
press the public mind with a dtie (Conviction
of 'their, importance. While the movements
of our armies in the field. are full of the deep•
est interest, and absorb 'popular attention, no
less importance is connected with the decisions
of the people at their annual elections. If
they fail there to sustain tile government with
a sentence of approval its main support will
bo withdrawn, and the public credit, which is
indispensable to the support of military ope
rations, must suffer and be impaired, if not
entirely destroyed. Dui country has present
ed &tiring its pending troubles an example
- unprecedented in the history-of nations.—
Without resorting to appeedefor peouniary_aid
froth• foreign capitalists, the goixernment has
readied from the people ample supplies of
means, and every man in the community has
an interest in maintaining the of the
public securities, either in the shape of bonds
or treasury notes, which compose a large por '
tion of the circulating medium, measuring the
value of properly, constituting a legal tender
intim nayment of debts, and passing from,
hatid Co hand as the prim) of commoditieS; or
in. the payment of _the wages of .40or. This
ourronoy, baited upon the . faith and dependent
upon the perpetuity of' the government, deep•
ly inv,olves the pecuniary interest of each in- -
dividual citizen. The capitalist and the eor
porution, the man of business, the farmer and
mechanic, even the widow and -- the — orphan,
find their peoperly invested in the securities
issued in-.varteus forMs by the goiternment,"
and dependent upon its ability to redeem its
engagements iiinlue time, and in the interim
to pay the interest„or prevent the evidence of
its indebtedness from depreciating in the
market.
To withhold support and withdraw 001:11fi.
donee from the government now is to put all
these interests at'hazard.
To allow its opponents to obtain even an
` - apparent advantage at the election, is to star
tle the always sensitive market in which these
securities are negotiated, and to cast a suspi•
cion upon, the value of the currency which has
lately been introduced.
- The success of the politic il opponents of
those who are chargel with the administration
of public affairs, who are, already ominously
and craftily stirring up pt.pular discontent
against the payment or the taxes necessarily
imposed for the preservation of the public
credit, anu who would nut hesitate, for the
accomplishment of their partisan aims to excite
feeling in favor of the repudiation of the

is to bring about an interference of the labor
of an oppre-sed and enslaved race, with the
labor of the tree white people of the northern

fruits of that labor which has hitherto pam
pered the pride, made the wealth, and sup

dictatorial and traitorous aristocracy. The
emancipated slave will fly to no northern
clinic. Down-trodden and oppressed, he yet has

attachments to birthplace and familiar scenes

nothing but the aspiration after freedom has

The vast free colored population of the
southern States themselves, where they are
permitted to abide greatly exceeding that. of
the northern States, furnishes living, proof
both of their local attachments and their
climatic preference. It was only a few years
tugs that the Legislature of 'Maryland, when
an inteme negrophobitt was raging, entertain

thonsands free blacks from her soil, but
abandoned it when they reflected that they
would thus deprive themselves of the most
valuable part or their productive labor, and
their land would run to waste for want of
cultivation. and poverty would pervade her
borders. Let southern traitors persist in their
enormous wickedness until the decree of
emancipation go forth, and the strength of
their rebellion will be destroyed by the
abstraction ,of the support it now receives

wending their way mirth, an exodus will take
place in the opposite direction, and thousands

the shivering frame, and where they can thrive
under its friendly beams.

RAILROAD A CII rnrs. The Ponnsyl
- Railroad company has been peculiarly
unfortunate in running its trains upon tho
Cumberland Valley Road. During the short
time that the U. S. Government was running
the road, no less than three considerable ac
cidents have occurred, resulting in the kill
ing and maiming of no less than thirty per
sons. A fourth occurred on Monday morn..
Rug last, near Carlisle, at the point where the
State road crosses the Railroad. The train
coming down encountered a bull upon the
track. The engine struck him_ throwing the
body upon the bank at one side. Mr. Bull
rolled back upon the train just in time to
come in contact with the latter end of it,
causing the smashing into fragments of half
a dozen of them. No further damage was
done. •
MELANCHOLY OCCURRENCE.—WhiIe
taking our morning walk on Sunday last, our
attention was attracted by a crowd collected
around something lying on the ground in a
vachnt lot in the rear of the College. On go

about breathing her last. Poor animal, site
passed away calmly, aided and abetted by
starvation, and the axe and knife of 4 sympa

last sighs were wafted to—well some whore ;
and she could no longer -stir her stumps. ' An
inquest was held by Constable FAGAN assist

verdict in accordance with the feels. She
