The Committee also passed the following
a-esolutions unanimously, viz :
Resolved, That it be recorninended to the
Loyal citizens of Pennsylvania., without. did
auction of party, to organize, in each Elec .
Lion District of the State, Union Leagues, for
the purpose of Sustaining the Uoverutne ut in
suppressing this causeless and wicked rebel
lion, which now seeks to divide and destroy
Republic.
Rebel Answer to Copperheads.
How do peace Democrats, or peace men of
any persuasion, know that union or peace will
be the result of "stopping the War ?" It is a,
rule as old as law itself that it takes two to
make a bargain ; and what do the rebels say
tcrthie'Northern talk of peace, reconciliation
anti reconstruction ? We have no evidence
isint4eyer thatlhey favor any such scheme, but
the rnoet . abundant manifett alien of their indig.
nani and insulting rejections of the proposi
tin: - We bal) presented to, loyal readers fro
quest samples of rebel talk on this subject, but
vre find in altiohinond paper a few sentences in
'this line' HMV arn so honest and bold, that it
will be good for Northern pease men to road
them. &Lys the Examiner :
s."Tho' Norttrern Democrats - ask' now that,
with the frivolity. of children, the two corn
munities should iguore.tho, past, should treat
the tremendous events of the last forty Years
08.tritles ; and with a debt of two or three
billions of dollars ineut o red ual•slaugli

That the co'pperheads'ehould have been , ptir.
tialy suocessful in ' , their campaign against
union men, is not very remarkable, when we
consider that white loyal men have been
either in: the - field drilling in - our armied,
or giving alltheir* spare time and energies in
aiding and encouraging the union cause at home
and abroad, thecopperheads have been stead
fly and.uneettsingly at Work • organizing ,and,
consolidating tbeir.forces for this . worky. the
~recollection of which will serve to blacken
their memory while loyalty is praised above
treason.
We give returns from all the townships we
have been able to hear from, and Oro gratified
to announce that the copperheads have .not
had it all their own way bitlae. , cural districts.
but in some townships, have been so crushed
out that their hissing heads will not be seen
for a year at least.

DEAR, lII:RALD —(laving at length found a
telnpurar) res:ing place 1 will give you a lew
rough notes of matters tind thiligS, us they
have occurred since 1 left you On the 7th
inst., I sailed from New Yerk -in the good
snip Edinburgh, bound for Liverpool. The
day was beautiful and the oce a n binonth as
a mill pond, until about dark when the wind
rose and all of us pns.sengers began to expe
rience that peculiar sensation yclept sea sick
ness, which is the most abominable disease
that ever visited poor humanity. I had the
extreme pleasure of trying it on for eig ht
days only. We had a very rough passage,
and on Sunday the 15th inst , cattle very near
taking a cool bath in the Atlantic, We were
just in the middle of the church sot vice. when
a wave broke over the vessel smashing the
cabin windows in, and nearly drowningevery
one in it. The first Lacer who had charge al
the deck at the tiMe, was driven through the
railing and landed to one ut the boats, break
tug several Ol his ribs, I was in my berth at
the time and escaped the whole affair, made
seinetniug that time by staying away from
chtirch. Quite a romaid.o incident happened
ou the voyage ; At very pretty German girl
came on board our vessel just as we were
leaving the wharf, lo,tving mistaken the Ed
inburgh fur the Saxunia. a German vessel
bound for She had no more money, and
- her passage to Liverpool was paid by a kind
hearted Irishman who courted her on the voy
age and married her on the Sunday af,er wo ar
rived. Another of our passengers was an Irish
priest, who amused himself getting.drunk and
cutting up all manner of capers, to the ex
treme edification of the company. Qu the
_day before we lauded we. he had the cleverest
kind of a "dody!!1 on, so much .so that the,
steward had to lower him into his berth by
the cuff of the neck. We also had a receeli
lady -no uuard who bragged to me that her
huttband.was•au etnissary of the Jeff Davis
Confederacy, to Bavaria, was a Brigadier
General - in the' rebel army and receiveda sal.

The policy and measures of the present Ad
ministration are viewed differently, as they
are observed through the colored mediums of
party prejudices, and preconeetved opinions.
Few give them ai•candid and unbiased exam
ination.
The Emancipation proclamation, is believed
to have been the offspring, of the pressure of
Mr. Lincoln's political friends at the North
It could not have been anticipated from his
inaugural and subsequent communications -
Its promulgation, has male the Administra
tion eirenger. wherever abolition feelings-pre
vailed; and has conciliated the Philanthro
pists, who hate slavery, is England; but has
not I think had much effect in the South oth
er than, to alienate the minds of many among
the masses, against us, who might otherwise
have been favorably inclined. This effect in
the border states is the more to be regretted.
For although they are not included in its pro
visions, yet they must be convinced, that
slavery -cannot now exist in their relation with
the Free States ; and they must do one of
two things, either cling to the rebellious
Suites, or institute a gradual emancipation.
Why the Democratic party should oppose the
contribution to aid this emancipation, is to
mo inexplicable. If these states voluntarily
slept inea,ures of emancipation, it identifies
them forever with the North, and in any
event it is of the utmost. importance to us.
The enlisting the colored man as a soldier,
has given rise to much excitement in the pas
sage of the bill. It is urged, that as slavery
was the principal cause of the war, and we
have such difficulty in filling the ranks; and
'as the negro can best endure the deleterious
climate,of the South, he ought to share in the
contest - On the other .side,'lt
that our White volunteers, will take excep
tion to serve, on a foting, with the black
man—That slave troops will probably excite
insurrection among the slaves of the country
they invade, to be followed by the scenes of
St. Domingo, and the interference of European
posers! The insurrection of the Hindoos af
ter being trained to arms, and the intermina
ble wars of the Indians and whites in Smith
America. are beacons of warning, which some
think, it would be well ,for us to take heed to
before it is unavailing.
The Conscription bill, is severely denounced
by leading politicians. The Government. in
stead of calling en the Governors for making
the draft, has taken the matter in its own
hands. and has dist rig ed the country each for.
a Provost Martial; who are to superintend the
draft, and also to arrest persons charged with
treason, and maintaitiloyalty. Whether the
Provost Marshals, are to he ail military men.
•I du not know but it is easy to foresee that in
discreet men, may cauie in these positions,
when party feeling is running so high,' much
tredole and difficulty. We are however sur
rounded on all sides by troubles and difficul
ties; but in this hour of distress, America
expects every man to do his duty, end stand
up for his country ! and not to permit trivial
pretences to operate against our lending all:
