UNION MEETING
In put stain ce ul pre,. ions notice, a large
assembly of Unitin men (rem all partsof the
county united in a poldi . j meeting at the
Court House, in tiiis on Monday
evening last. ler the purl se of expressing
their views on the emidition of our beloved
country, and the duties of all loyal voters in
the trying cirenim,tanees to which she has
been reduced by tre t tson and rebellion.
The meeting w..s organized by ilia ap
pointment of Prof. I). Denlinger, of White
Hall Academy, as Presideut ; Capt. Steward
.21.IeGowcu, ulatuaroe, C01..W, Woodburu,
of Newvi le, °welt J;ttnea, of New Cumber
land, Vice Presidents; 13,!.d. L. Kauffman, of
Mechanicsburg, ana..l). LIENDEasos, of Ship
penshurg, as Secretaries.
The meeting was of by a stirring ad
dress from Captain Ito', o IlurenixsoN, one
of the heroes of Gettysburg, in which occa
sion was taken to speak of the fire in the
rear of nor armies from trtasunable batteries
in the North, insane l by teen who are more
intent to pri7l:7llg the war, and aid the rebel
lion, than they are to sustain the Govern
ment in its efforts to put it down and thus
secure a lasting peace. Captain 141 rt
lllS
sox was followed by D. W. THRUST!, of Ship
pensburg, Hull. Len rem. TODD, aLd Rev.
JosEra A. Ross, in a general review of the
evils brought upon the nation by .unprinci,
pled party leaders, and in urgent appeals to
the people forget party associations in this
the..day...s.)l.themaiiunisper.l,..and_in the-cum_
log State election to bestow their suff-ages
upon those, and only those, who will cordi
ally unite with the authutities of the nation
in giving the finishing blow to,,the rebellion.
No formal resolutions were passed, but
from the responses to the remarks of the
several speakers, it was quite clear that
ANDREW G. CURTIN, and DANT. AG
NEW, the nominees of the Pittsburg Con
vention, will receive the undivided vote of
the party that is for the Union.— American.
PI ye TaArrous.—Out of 'one hundred and
fifty five votes cast ou the bill fur paying the
soldiers in the field, in the House of the Rep
resentatives, the following were the only
"nays:"—Clement L. Vallandigham, of Ohio,
the Copperhead candidate for Governor of
Ohio. Benjamin Wood, of New York, re
elected Representative to Congress on the
Copperhead ticket. 11. C. Burnett, of Ken
Lucky, expelled from the House of Represen
tatives for treason, now in the rebel army.—
Elijah H. Norton, of Missouri, who ran away
from his home, and is now in the rebel army.
John W. Reid, 111.issouri. expelled from the
House of ltepreentatives for treason, and
now, or lately, in the rebel' arm*
With these facts known and read of all men,
how can any citizen mivocale the election of
a Copperhead anywhere, onto any position?
Is not any man who does advocate such an
election a "bird" of the same "fainter" as
these five traitors?
jaPW-WoonwAito, the copperhead candidate
for Governor, took con , ,Olerablo part in the
debate of the Constitutional Convention of
1837, and made his mart especially in his
earnest efforts to disfratichin all foreigners
in Pennsylvania. lie made ono of his ablest
speeches in favor of incorporating the denial
of suffrage to foreignere into odr organic law,
but he failed, so that, the Irish and Germans
Who vote for hire in October can do so with
the satisfactory assurance that if Woodward
had succeeded in his efforts to amend our
Constitution they would now be without even
the right to vote at all, for Woodward or any
body else!
So also, with the disfranchised soldiers.—
Having failed in this first attempt to rob-a
portion of our citizens of their votes he essays
the same thing against our bravo volunteers;
and succeeds in their absence in stealing one
of their dettrestrights from them. Oh valiant
copperhead.
te m LET IT BE remembered that this wick
edrobellion would have been crushed out at
least eighteen months ago, and neither the
first norette second draft would have been
neoessitry, if it had not been for the aid given
to the rebels by their Northern sympathizers
and supporters. Those who are now most
loud in denunciation of the conscription are
alone responsible 'for its enactment. The
conscription law is an effect, not a cause.

Primary Meetings--Delegate Eleo-
tions.
On Saturday of next week primary meet
ings for the election of delegates to tke coual
ty convention to occur on the fellowihg
day, will be held. We Wish to imiiress'as
forcibly as words can, the iinportittiteof
these elections. Th 6 careless inattention
with which loyal men in this county are ac
customed to treat the selection of delegates
has been the prolific cause of many a defeat
of our party. Two or three men in the inte
rest of some aspirant for a county office usu
ally meet together on these occasions and
elect one of their number whose primary
object at the meeting of the convention is to
see to the nomination of his man, and then
his businedis practically finished• If his
man is not placed on the ticket he goes home
grumbling at the men who made a differetit
selection; thinks the ticket a weak cne, hard
ly entitled to his support, and certainly not
worth his active exertions.
To this cause alone can be traced many a
defeat, and the consequent predominance of
disloyal copperheadism in our county. There
is no more doubt that we have inherent in us
the strength to place Cumberland county un
waveringly on the right side, than there is
that our side is the right one. The . way to
do this is for every man who feels that the
rebellion is a monstrous wrong which must
be put down, and that the present loyal un
ion party is the only one that is disposed to
put it down, to give the cause his earnest and
honest work now and always. Commence
at once ; see who in your township are by
their prudence and integrity best fitted to
take part in the convention. Send these
men whether they want to come or not. We
shall then have a ticket which shall challenge
the respect of our opponents and deserve the
support of every good citizen. Their ticket
is certain to be composed of copperhead de
mtwogues whose lust for the perquisites of
Alec has driven that patty into open opposi
tion of the government and at least a qmrsi
support of Jeff I tavi : rebellion. Woodward,
their figure-bead, is the eirtbotlimuut of these
iinpuhLys, ilia! his parasites heft-are sure - to tie
of the same feather. 'ls tvl their bfeat the
plain duly of every patri it? It eau be
compli,lied by li.ttieuf, unremitting, labor.—
I) this awl we shall suceseil as we will de
serve to. Neglect it, and illeVitllblC defeat will
place our county in unmistakable sympathy
with slaveholders' rebellion.
Woodwardians in Council
pi._Tuesdayevel ? in g ,last,, the fa iends of
Judge Woodward assembled in the Court
House and held what they called a large and
respectable Democratic meeting—surely it
was large, for was'itt mir town full of York
County drafted MC 11 ; surely it was respecta
ble, for didn ' t George Sanderson come all the
way front Lane tster to. 'sake it mpes/fowl
bill respectable? But in the name of the ley
al Democracy of old .Mother Cumberland, we
protest against its being called a Democratic
meeting. Loyal Democraey repudiates every
sentiment that wou'd advance party at the
sacrifice of country. And cries out Gel help
us and our Institutions it such men as those
who addressed that meeting, are to be regard
ed as expounders of those doctrines which
were am forth by the author of the Declara
tion of independence, and triumphantly car
rim] through-two CS - flllokig us - by the old Ileum
of New Orleans. .No, indeed, Mr MeDewel

Democratic Heroes of Murfreeshoro and Vicks•
burg havezo often branded as copperheadism
are different, far different from the Democracy
of Jackson and Jeffers( n— the one nt best
would go no further than to gently chastise
treason with a cat o' nine tails made out of
" olive branches"—the other would have gone
to the very end of the rope and have hung it.
Save a sentence now and then interpolated
in' hypocritical earnestness of dechimation
about " the Union es it was and the Consti•
tution as it is," we venture to say there was
not a word uttered which would not have
made the Halls of the Confederate Capitol
ring with applause. And the hypocrisy of these
few sentences, (strangers in a strange land)
was so transparent that Davis himself would
have shaken hig sides with laughter to have
heard his minions thus " playing off" Union
ism with such intensely straight faces The
farceshould indeed have been transferred from
Pennsylvania to Virginia soil with the sym
pathetic purpose of relaxing the "facial" mus•
cles of the Confederate Cabinet, which have
lately been made so painfully rigid by such
battles as those of Vicksburg and Gettysburg.
After , the usual preliminary organization
came a speech by J. McDowell Sharpe. Poor
Mc! Ile started out in this world with rea
sonably fair prospects, but we fear, that this
raging anti•adininistration fever which is now
preying upon his brain will be his death.—
Ills speech was a skilful tissue of sophistry
abounding in mistatements of facts and fal
lacious deductions. Listen to hint. Ile said
" This War will never, call never be success
fully carried on under the radical measures of
the present administration;—until its policy
was changed we met with nuvariod success."
Were the battles of Helena, of Gettysburg and
Vicksburg fought under what he calls the
former purpose of the administration, or under
what he calls its present '' radicql" 'measures.
Mr Sharpe, the truth is, you know as we all
know that the prospects for an utter euppres
sion of this rebellion never were so bright as
they are at this hour ,
Next came George Sanderson of Lancaster.
We all know how bitterly he has opposed this
War from, its beginning; aye * , how he op
posed it long before, as he-says he says, Pres
ident Lincoln changed it from a war for the
restoration of the Union to an Abolition Cru
sods. Mr. Sanderson was full of the " nig
ger." his brain seemed to be loaded down
with frightful phantasmagoria) of niggers on
an equality, of whites enslaved, and Rebels
wronged. , " We-pity-him. We have Been in

ATHEISTIC! TENDENCIES.
: In accordance with the request of a friend
we give the folloWing article from the Evan-
Afessenger; a religious paper puhlish
ed in-Cleveland,.ohim We commend it to
those of our readers who believe that copper
head resistance to the governmet.t can be
reconciled to the professions of intelligent
christianity.
The advocates of slavery and apologists
for treason, care not how they sustain their
cause. If they can press the Bible into their
service, and can make it prove slavery right,
and treason a virtue, they-are flu m Bible be
lievers I If they can make capital out of
mercenary preachers, who stoop to defend
such iniquities, then they have great faith in
an "upright ministry;" but when they dis
cover, as they are fast doing, that the Bible
is against them, and ministers of the Gospel
are therefore on the side of Truth, Justice,
and Mercy, then they sneer at the one, and
effect a devout horror at carrying politics
into the Pulpit. This conflict, they find out,
is as much a moral as a physical one, and
(hey are aware that they must conquer the
Bible, Churches, Schools, Ministers, and
everything that is holy, before they can tri
umph with their unholy cause.
A few months ago, in a lour through In
diana and Ohio, Vallandigham denounced
the schools and churches, and some say even
railroads and telegraphs, as being ii.stru
mentalities of Abolitionism, and exhorted
his hearers that De/Am - Tray must " c out
(ruin among them" and be ye separate."—
We admit that the churches of the North
are all antislavery, and all loyal, and the
ministry, with rare excoptions. the Caine; or
if it please the traitor better, we admit that
they are all ,tho/itionize,/! But this, if a
Mot, is a startling one. The ministry have
no reasons to be dishonest in their views of
.lavery, for they s(..d: no otliee from tiny po
d:16,10 -party. -Can 8:1 as- ni-nelr?-
\ nil if ininistiirs and Churches do not nude'
:land polities as well ae p diticians do, yet
1 - they are generally supposed to be tolerably
ivel - I vers. d in the teachings of the Bible, an 1
that they rise up from their study of the
11i
hle and unite iii condemning slavery and
trca: on, is a fact worthy 61 the consideration
of honest men I Not a Synod, not a Confer
! mice, not a Convention or General Aseembly,
that has denounced treason. and its cause.
Richard : O'Gorman, a of .1 uly speech
in the - N. Y. Academy of Music, lauded the
French Revolutionists'for tearim - r down the
Ifastile, and compared it to the " tyr luny"
Of the Federal government. He did not tell
his hearers, however, that that event was He
precursor to the bloody Terror nil
Atheism which s(-)on succeeded it. NJr dial
he tell tlt •in that the military dcsptei.iin ui
Napoleon 1; (napart, took it,: tir.it origin in
a Park in I), ()I' which the New York mob
was an excellent imitation.
The Chicago Times, the great Copperhead
paper of the West, attacks the teachers who
wiseinh!ed there at the National :\ esociation, '
and also the clergymen of that city, for keep
ing Thanksgiving Day. And this is the
general tendency of slavery advocates and
treason apologists. We will yet illuote a few '
extracts from an atheistic sheet,-,published
by 1). Tuttle, it) Benton co., Ohio, and we
!Ile nu oil) of - Ole paper, -- ao - tUr
any reatko. !nay solid to the Doctor, for NO.
3, of Vol. 4, of " the Divinity Physician
and find our extracts Correct, for, unless fully
proved, they seem too blasphemous to be
lieve, that any man in his right mind, in the
19th centur,, could be guilty of them. We
make our extracts from one of our daily pa
pers.
This Tut ti', having heard that some of the
Christian public were shocked at his impious
blasphemies, uttered in a speech of his, some
time before, said :
"Now, I will hereby inform these pukes
of Abe Lincoln that they have not by all
their threats Or anallmtnas moved toe one
iota from toy old political or religious land
marks, neither can they do it so long as I
have my senses. I have been arrested and
imprisoned by the infernal whelps, but they
have not silenced my tongue nor my press,
neither will they do it while*l live. * *
I now repeat my wicked•speech again:
"I owe no allegiance to Abe Lincoln or
his seavinger, Governor David Todor Jesus
Christ. And will add further, I owe no al
legiance to any King or theological God, or
any other God in the universe. Now, ye
political, religious or hypocritical.laints,
whoever you are, you may chow over it, you
may smoke it, you tour snuff it, or you may
growl and grunt or wag your head over what
1 have said."
These sentences, so choice yin the use of
language, so delicate in their allusions, are
natural to a supporter of the man who advo
cated the abolition of schools and churches,
and to a lellow conspirator with those who
sacked an orphan asylum and propOsed to
burn the Astor Library at the time of the
great New York riot. •
To show still clearer the Christian teach
ings of this man, - we quote further from the
same article:
"Resistance to tyrants IS patriotism. But
I do not believe it is obedience to God, tor I
never heard of a God who was not a tyrant.
The God of the Bible is an absolute tyrant,
but 1 do not consider him such a perjured
usurper or sm h a tyrant as Abe. Lincoln."
Again, of the ministers of the Gospel, he
says they are—
reverend hell-wlielpl of their so
called Zion. They are nothing bet wolves in
sheep's clothing, thieves and robbers."
And, in another article, the vile blasphe
mer says :
" From all the facts in the case, I cannot
but come to the conclusion that fur the pease
of the -country, and lor the peace and happi
ness of the whole world, that all kinds of
religion shall be banished from among
men."
A - nd. boon more': '
" The Christian priests are the only human
blood•houuds in this country and throughout_
the world."
Next to the Members ,and ministers of
Christian Churches, the Divinity Physician
pours out its fiercest invectives against Presi,
dent Lincoln. Here is a 'specimen of the
"free speech" which the Copperheads claim
as among their" rights ;
" I said publicly, eight months hgo, that
Lowed no allegiance to Abe Lincoln. My
God 1 I would as soon pay homage, respect,
or allegianoe ,, to old LucifeF, or to all the
n
devils while holding i4s-iiieetirreili
ns to Abe Lincoln, President of the United
States."
" Does the old fool, though he is law-giver
and law-maker for the freemen of Ohio, does
he think because - he is a knave, that all other
Men are fuels? * * * I now charge
old Abe with lieing'gnilty of all the crimes
known in the catalogue as perjury, stealing,
murder, kidnapping, house breaking, bur
glary, 'rand, falsehood, and other acts, which
could till - the measure-heaping full and run
ning over, of and man's villanies."
"I; therefore,..,sentence old Abe Lincoln
to be hung by the neck and \ heels until he is
dead, DEAD, ,DEAD I and a there is any God
who has a disposition to hare mercy on his
infernal, black soul, then there is no need of
a devil or a theological hell."
It remains for us to show who is rho stand
and bearer of this defier of God and man ; who
is his political loader; rthoso cause does he
serve by such a course. ' This is announced
by himself, lie days in one place : "I am a
Democrat, and an infidel t 30," and_ elsewhere
he hoists his ticket: For Governor—C. L.
rallanclighans," and then puts in his claim to
share with the Chattanooga Rebel the honor
of having nominated him :
"Almost a year ago I publialted the n tale
of this patriotic and moral hero as a candi
date for the next Governor or Oitio. One
hundred thousand of the freemen of the state,
on the 11th day of June Pant, refilled my nomi
nation. * 11 This coming than is des
tined to be not only Governor of Ohl), but al
so President of the United States! Put that
in your pipe and smoke it, you damned min.
ions of hell."
This, vto'ilresetne, is enough to disgust our
Christian renders, and fully nough to prove
what •we have aseerted, (hat this conflict
is a moral as well as a physical one, and that
it aims at the overthrow of everything holy,
simply because everything ho!y is opposed to
it. May honest hearte I Christian men reflect
before they join these enemies or C ri tin
their nefario y u: , , schemes.

A Maryland Journal on Emanoi-
ThO'Cambridge (Maryland) Intelli.'ipicer, of
July It3th, has a long and able editorial dis
cussing the question of emancipation;in which
it very sensilty oomes to the conoluilion that
if it were in Missouri, it would be in favor of
immediate emancipation. The following is
what the hitelligenger has to say on this
point •
We nro in favor of a system of gradual
emancipation for Maryland, If we lived in
Missouri ,' we should be like our friends there,
in favor of immediate emancipation. But the
condition of Nlaryland is materially different
from that of Missouri. There slavery has
carried civil war to the very hearthstones of
the loyal people, antrolimsoned their homes
with blood Radical measures are essential
to the establishment of peace and quiet there.
Here, we enjoy sco irity and tranquility. the,
public exigency is not so great, and we may
abolish our system of labor with less violence
to other public interests. 'The disease in the

hat while vie are in favor of gradual
emancipation, we do not mean that it shall be
so very gradual as to be just nu emancipation
at all. We are willing that it shah be gradu
al, but it must be speedy. Though gradual,
it moot be short. We are opposed to any
sy-tent which contemplates lengthening the
lilt' of slavery a single day beyond what, is
tib.oluttdy necessary for the peservation of
other public interests frola too great a shock
by Ors change of labsr. Ten years is long

Oar fathers and ourselves have suffered much
from the curse of slavery, and we claim that

Mr
A Claim for Rebel D epredations
at Sea
The Messrs. trprop, of, Boston, owners of
the ship Nora, which was recently destroyed
by the Alabama, have sent a memorial to Mr.
Seward, protesting against the destruction of .
their property. The chief points in their
memorial are ihe following:
The Nora\G legally registered American
ship, was chattered at Liverpool by Mr W.
N. De Maltos to carry a cargo from that port
to Calcutta. While on the voyage she was
boarded and taken possession of by a vessel
calling herself the Confederate State man of.
war Alabama, by whose captain ft part of the
stores were removed and the ship sot on fire.
The owners protest against this destruction
of their ship, and demand reparation 11'0111 the
British Government in tne sum of $BO 000.—
They base their claim on the fact that the
Alabama is an English vessel, having sailed
under the British flag and never having en
tered a Confederate port , that the British
Government has never interfered with her un
lawful acts; and on the additional fact that,
w the time of the capture of the Nora, she
was principally manned by British subjects.
In view of these matters, and of others
which may be made to appear, the memorial
tots have entered their solemn protest against
the British Gogetininent and people, as willing
parties negligently culpable in the destruction
of their property upon the high seas, and thus
in first violating the proclamation of Queen
by building and manning said steamer, and
then allowing her to continue tier depredation
And they ask through the Government of
the United States that' a proper represeuta•
tdon may be made of their loss, that in the
end due reparation may be made to them by
the said Government of Great Britain, or that
the Government of the United States may as
sumo the same as one of the government I
obligations to protect the rights of their citi
zens, thus wantonly violated.
This, we believe, is the first protest of the
kind which, has yet. issued by American suf
forms by the Confederate privateers.
