TM : , What did the extraordinary gathering
of the oopricrhead magnates of the county in
Carlisle, on Friday last mean ? Was it a
sympathizing—Vallandigham demonstration,
or were they organizing more lodges of gold
en circle knights. The Berks county breth

bly there were means to be raised for their
succor.
Infamous Libelling
The American Volunteer we belie', e is en
titled to the enviable distinction of being
.more apt in coining, and more industrious
in circulating vile, infamous libels upon many
oC our leading statesmen, both living and
dead, than any journal in the State—if
we except its text-book—the Harrisburg
Patriot (7) Not content with misrepresent
ing and maligning the characters and posi
tier s of the living, that paper must needs
mainufacture entirely new and reproduce old
and long since exploded slanders on the
memory of our most illustrious dead.
These remarks are occasioned in this in
stance. by the reiteration in this week's Vol
unteer of the following paragraph, reprell
ted as having been uttered Ivy u DANIEL
EIIST lz
" If these Infernal jitnaties and Abolition
ists ever gel Mc power in their have s, they
will override the Constitution, set the Su
preme Court at defiance, change and make
laws to suit themselves, lay violent hands on
those who differ with them in opinion, or dare
question their fidelity, awl finally b an k r upt
the country and deluge it with blood.--.
When the rota/deer, in coin mon with the
most coppery of its cotemporaries,.publisbed
this basiard effusion.some time ago, it Was
promptly branded as a malignant fabrica
tion, calculated to do infinite injustice to the
memory of the.greatr WEBSTER, and its au
thors were dared to fhe proof. Not one of
them ever attempted to substantiate it, and
it now remains for the Volunteer to point to
the speech which contni ns this sentence or
stand convicted of twice-repeated falsehood.
The Consistency of Democracy
Ex Preaideni Pinnca's opinion of Slavery
liu had only to say now what he had always said,
that he regarded slavery as tutu of the greatest moral
and•soelal evils —a curse upon the whole country, and
this he believed to he the sentiment of all Inca of all
parties at the North.

sane attempt to make the south one vast
slave territory! thus defying the Constitution
and the laws of the land as well as that of the
law of nations; for the very moment a des
perate set of men organize themselves into
rebellious bands, and attempt to overthrow
established governments for the purpose of
making slavery the basis of their trade and
commerce, they insult. common humanity, and
repudiate the morale of civilization!
The Southern people never had the right,
natural, moral or political to enforce slavery
upon new Territories, and insult the North
by its base. attempts to do it by threats.—
Slavery had its limits by the will of its people,
and their Constitution. It had the confines,
and although, as Ex-President Plsnen says,
"he regarded it as •ono of the 'greatest moral
and political evils-4a curse upon the whole
COuntli," still the people of the North, and•
the civilized of the South bowed in submission
to the power that sustained it, and would
have continued to do so still i_f_the_ traitors

We are not surprised to hear that a large
proportion of the volunteers, whose term of
seiviert has expired, express an intention of
enlisting again. Two years, or even nine
months, of military life so accustom a man to
the habits,of, a soldier, that ho returns with
difficulty to. his .Old mode of life. Besides,
there is a sort of fascination in camp life, and
except in time of long marches and fighting,
it is.4oeasy and lazy a life as most , mert can

While' the discharged .tnen say they

04' the Bth 0166364 we published on our
first [lrittigett. letter from • Dr: MdCLtv? root;:
givink of.vitaws selected :from att.
old Work entitled the "'Olive ,Bratielt;" by
Mathew. barety,' au old and influential Mile=
delphia publisher. VhiS-the Voludeer has
seized upon for the purpose of justifying the
treasonable course of the large portion of
the Democratic press, who are daily puldish
ing-everything that can have the slightest
tendency to weaken the government and
strengthen rebellion. The paper contains
the opinions, views and expressions - of' the
Federalists of 1812, which the Volunteer de
nounces as.!‘-diegusting and treasonable"
and then proCeeds to argue that the same
course, or one infinitely worse, pursued by
the Democrats of the present day is eminent
ly proper and patriotic: . This may be a
logical conclusion but really we are unable
to see it. Suppose the war of 1812, was de
nounced by leading Federalists, among
whom we believe was one James Buchanan,
does that give the men of the present day,
who claim to have inherited from Democratic
sires, the purest patriotism ever known to
mortals, the right to palliate, excuse and
justify the course of the men who are by
their treason covering our laud viith desola-,
tion and suffering '1
The Democratic leaders have for years
been denouncing the course pursued by the
Federalists of 1812 in opposing that war,
and yet we find them now when our coun
try's danger is greater, and 'her foes more
numerous, doing ten times as much to aid
her enemies as did the Federalists, and justi
fying their c'itirse by the very precedent they
have been condemning for the last fifty
years. Consistency then art a jewel, verily.
It appears entirely impossible for a Demo
' untie editor to abstain:from liballiug New
X;rgland whenever he has India chance. In
llris very article the Volunteer asserts that
the New Eng'and states have always been
anti-Democratic, treasonable and rebellious
and have after working for-it for half a cen
wary succeeded in involving the country in
a civil war. This statement has no truth in
it. Except Artssachus,Ats and Vermont,
the New England Strifes have voted twice
with the Democracy for every once they
voted against it, and instead of their invol
ving us in civil war every man knows that.
the Democracy and those who have always
been reviling the abolitionists of New Eng
land are-entitled to all that.. glory. 'There is
not a New England state. in arms against
the government nor one which has not been
taxing her resources to the utmost to crush
out the rebellion, while there is not a State
which east a Democratic majority two years
ago that is not in arms against the Govern
ment and doing its utmost to destroy it..
Under these eireumstances.it might be ex
pected that Democratic politicians would
allow sins long since repented cf, to be for.
gotten
Again, "The Federalists are the for,-
fathers of our present abolitionists." We
do not know whether. or not the forefathers
of Hamlin, Chase, Stanton, Banks, Butler,
Dix, Dickinson, Holt, Andy Johnson, Hun
ter, Burnside, Fremont and a host of others
who have been leaders of 'the Demucrt ey,
when it had any claims to respectability,
were Federalists. We know that one James
Buchanan, whom the Volunteer helped to
make President and who allowed traitors to
overthrow the government while its protec•
tion was in his care, was a Federalist of the
blue light variety. As soon therefore as the
Democracy purges itself of the ignominy of
having made a Federal President and of
having given life to the southern confederacy,
the loyal men of the North may think of
tracing back their genealogy for the purfic-e
of testing the truth of the Volunteer's asser
tion.

General Hamilton of Texas and

We learn from a report or the great Union
Meeting at Faneuil Kali, on the Ilith of April,
that Gun. lirt in iltotisaid that ho shduld probab •

by Saying—You must not, howeNer, suppose
that I am an Abolitionist! he added: "I wish
you to understand that no such distinction is

It was plain front the prolonged shouts of
of approbation which followed these words,
and from the "three cheers for Oen. Hamil
ton,"-most energetically given, which followed
,them, that the vast audience also were Aboli

members oft he old political parties.
Now, what the Abolitionists really are,
appears from a recent letter of 'Professor
Itforse,,the President of the Society for the
Diffusion of Political Knowledge. Of course
such a man roust be supposed to know the
true character of ALolitionism. He says,
speaking of the Abolitionists

The Vallandigham Mee,ing in
Philadelphia.
The North 4merican, of Ttiesil4 last gives
the following graphic and ludicrous account
of the great coppery Vallandigham meeting:
The more you hoe a slander the more it
thrives, the more you stir a stagnant Marsh
the - greater volume of malaria it exhales.
The admirers of the demagogue Vallandig
ham endeavored last night to get .up a.
"sympathy meeting." They hoped to pro ,
yoke a coWision, and thrive upon the cry of
persecution. They found, to their intense
chagrin, that nobody gave there the least
attention, and they and their inglemen were
in their glory alone.
They had a big stand erected in Indepen.
deuce Square, and did their very prettiest on
the occasion. 'there was not any distur
bance during the entire evening. The
speakers bad their say, and nobody inter
rupted them. Their speeches were written
in advance, and furnished to all the news
papers that would publish them. There
was so much yelling by the "boys" that not
one of the speakers' voices was audible
twenty feet from the stand—but as two-thirds
of the crowd came to the spot from mere
curiosity, nothing was lost by anybody.
The committee had secured Hon. Ellis
Lewis as presiding officer; and ns the first
speaker obtained the Clearfield county Micaw
ber, ex-Governor Bigler, Who Js again anx
ious to return to the office of which he has
already tasted the sweets. The burden of
the speeches was denunciation of the con.
scription act, and of the use of. negroes as
soldiers. '['he resolutions, like the speeches,

crowd was constantly, changing, and at no
time wits it large. The getters up. of the
meeting were let alone with a,severity that
was the !widest punishment. row was ex

I shall leave to others lo determine where
the right parts of a gentleman have their
proper seat and pavillion, whether at the
centre or on the surface; but you may de
pend upon it, that the soul and sinews of our
loyal armies care nothing for all the skin
deep polish and refinement of the most aristo
cratic breeding, in comparison with truth and
sincerity in t-he inward parts of manhood.
This, more than_anything else, is what gives
our Commander in-chief such a prodigious
hold on the minds of his soldiers; and, 1 may
add, it is making him stronger with thou the
more he is known. Of all the men now con
spicnons on the political boards. lie is be
lieved to have the plainest- and the simplest
heart; and, certainly, in times like these, the
one gift of inspiring such a kith is worth far
more than all the:arts of state craft and all
the fascinations of personal accomplishment
It was the same thing which, in another great
notional exigency, made "t>ll Father Lati•

I noticed a monument erected to Generals
Packenham and Gibbs, who, in the language
of the inscription, "fell while gallantly lead
ing their troops against the enemy's works
at New Orleans, January Bth, 1815." My
English friend, who was explaining the
monument to me, passed by the one : just
named and didn't want to see it. I howe'ver
called his attention to it, and remarked to
him that the English nation should keep
that little accurrence of the Bth of January
1815 belbre their eyes, and not allow their
-,shipbuilders to !mild any more "Alabaman."
