become so much deranged and debilitated. that I was
unable to perform any kind of labor. I had resorted to
the beat doctors within reach. without relief. I used
some of the most popular remedies of the day, recrit
m•nded for that disease, hut none of them did me any
good. My sufferings cad be understood by any one
suffering from the same disease, but they could not be
described in word.. I wan then living at Hopewell.

monced the use of your medicines. They soon afforded
me relief (rem the must painful symptoms whieh 1 bad
aeareely hoped to obtain ; ,and In a surmising.) , short
time I wan; eompletele restored to health, and I have

Letter of Gen. Meagher to the Union
DEAR SIR : Very urgent business calls
me to Washington today. I tear it will
not be in my power to get away from
there in time to keep my engagement
with your Cotninittee. If obliged to
break the engagement, I shall exceeding.
lv regret it. To aid you, were it ever so
feebly, in the contest in which you are
engaged, would gratify me beyond meas
ure, Jacksonian Democrat as I am. The
OE
ssues involved in the contest are of na
tional consequence. They concern every
loyal State, and should excite the solici
tude of every loyal citizen.
The contest itself, to be sure, will be
confined to Ohio ; but with the principles,
the interests, the cause at stake, Califor
nia is virtually identified. So is Maine.
So is Illinois. So is Oregon. So is every
State that has proved its fidelity to the
National compact, and fully comprehends,
as it proudly values the significance of
the National flag, the brilliant and vast
advantages of National unity, the ne2es
sity of Ai , National Government and the
obligation to sustain it, heart and soul, in
perfect strength, authority, and power,
with life as well as treasure. It is not
too much to say, indeed, that in this con
test in Ohio the Government at Wash
ington is on trial, and that, with it, the
noble armies it has sent forth to recover
the National domain and property from
ti,e insurgents of the South, shad either
be renounced and condemned, or be heart
ily sustained, as your votes decide the
day.
Electing Mr. Brough, Ohio vindicates
and_ fortifies the National Government.—
Electing Mr. Vallandiahanr, Ohio aban
dons, a.id, so fur as one State can (16 SO,
weakens and prostrates it. Electing Mr
13rough, Ohio stands true to the splendid
soldiers who, from the rucks of Gettys
burg, hurled back.a bold invasion—from
the bluffs of Vicksburg broke the fetters
of the Mississippi, consecrating it to Free
dom and the untrammeled service of a
united people, and who, at this very hour,
rain' a deserved chastisement on the city
in which the National Flag was first
struck down, and the torch of treason
„tossed aloft as the signal of revolt. Elect.
ing Mr. Vallandighatn, Ohio turns her
back on these brave men, disowns their
services, discards the victories they have
won, sends them a vote of repudiation in
stead of a vote of thanks, and, in place
of cheering them on in their -new enter
prises, casts a cloud between them arid
their tunic, their proud memories, their
exalted purposes and hopes, making. them
feel they have ponied out their blood in
the' defeat of armed traitors in their front
but to encounter the faithlessness and
base ingratitude, or at best the equivocal
recor,nition and impoverished praise, of a
mutinous party in the rear.
Such,-if I mistake not, are the main
issues of the contest in which you, the
citizens of Ohio, are engaged. There are,
however, other important consequences
involved.
The election of Mr Brough will deep , :
en the depression and confirm the dis
comfiture of the South, going far to con
vert into wefulnes9 and blank despair the
ecstasies inspired by the Peace meetings
and riots of New-York, lowa, and other
places where Copperheads abound, and
the venom, as well as the slime, the fangs,
as well as the slippery skin, of the rep
tiles, warn the community of danger.
On the other hand, the election of Mr.
Va11811(10am will rouse the drooping
spirits of the guilty States that have been
so effectually crippled of late. It will re
vive in those States great expectations of
a diversion in their favor, and stimulate
them to renewed efforts of desperation
Sunundn Mr. Valli ndigam from his con
genial exile in the bosom of his British
sympathizers, seat him in the Curule
chair of your State, 14 him have the dis
bursement of the patronage with which
it is richly padded, and, not a doubt of
it, the usurpers at Richmond will have
good reason to infer they have reliable
friends at the North, and that President
Lincoln is beset, undermined, hampered
and overborne by a swarm of enemies
The severe, thin features of Mr. Davis,
will dilate and soften the news. Anoth
er Thanksgiving Day will be added by
his authority to the long list of Feasts
and Fasts in which the fluctuations of
the Confederacy, from the penitential to
the hilarious phases of piety, are com
mended, as a lesson on the variability of
all human affairs, to the study of an ir
reverent and headlong age. The sweet
est smiles will break out and play in tropi
cal radiance all over the neat round chin;
the dainty lips, the plump and cosy cheeks
of Mr. Judah Benjamin ; and, yielding
to the enchantment of the glad tidings,
he may indulge in the vision of a tri
umphal entry into Cincinnati, on the
vitation if Gov. Vallandigham; and,
more blessed than his. forefaihers .were,
may in his dreams partake of grapes such
as the gleaning of Ephraim never yielded,
and of hatne such as Solomon in all his
glory, with all his gold and silver, with
all his ivory, apes, peacocks, never .had
the happiness to taste. Mr. Toombs even
may be induced; in the enlivening •Sun•
.shine of the event, to think better of the
financial' system , he. has recently, with
such Sepulahral sobriety and heaviness
of heart, considered it his duty to expose.

brists and the Noyades of Lyons—must
have sprung from the deepest abyss of
hell. Picture to yourselves the trans
ports of these delicate and chivalrous gen
tlemen when the news reaches them that
their persistent champion—who from the
outset of the war has done everything in
his power to aid the insurrection, while he
has left no stone unturned that could em
barrass and incapacitate the National
Government—has triumphed in his dis
affection and disloyalty, becoming invest
ed with magisterial functions that will
enable him all the more boldly ; all the
more defiantly, all the more mischievous
ly, to resume the line of conduct that
compelled the National Government to
send him beyond our lines.
The South, be assured of it, will inter
pret his election in its direct bearing, and
full significance. They will recognize in
it,the defeat and condemnation of the
National Government, and in this defeat
and condemnation, the power and predomi
nenee of the conspiracy which fosters and
facilitates Se.,..ession, voting down supplies
to the Army, destroying public confi
deuce in the Administration, instigating
resistance to the laws of Congress,coun
pulling the withdrawal of veteran troops
from the field to. Cr, fbrce the obedience
which State authorities think it no duty
of theirs to see to; and by every other
artifice compatible with its malignant
safety, doing its best to sap and par
alyze the good, great cause it lacks the
courage to rear its head against, and with
a brilliant audacity assail.
Nor will the election of Mr. Vallan
digham be hailed with less satisfaction in
Cattaillt and England than in South Caro
, hint and Virginia. Canada will illunii
nate.in celebration of the event, and give
Hall swing to the joy-bells, of her town
halls and churches.. The Lrntrluie Times
--startled a little.ao brought to its sen
ses by the repulse of Lee, by the surren
der of Pemberton' and Gardner, and the
Greek fire that brought home her doom
to Charle , ton, and awakened her at mid
night to the consciousness of her crime
and the punishment it supremely merits
—The London Tinos, un its being tele
graphed from Liverpool that Mr. Vallan
tThrhatn has been cI eted Governor of
Ohio, will be itself again ; and over this
cheek and disparagement of the National
Government will plunge into the wildest
raptures of rhetoric. That solid agent of
all sorts of business in the revolutionary
line, our pleasant friend and deep philoso
pher, George Saunders, who has never
known a day fur the last five and-twenty
years that he was not prepared to take the
largek ebb tract ftir supplying every trou
ble in the world with abundant fuel, will
be sure tfy give a dozen breakfasts, din
ners, and suppers, of superb proportions
and staggering costliness, all on the
strength of it, to the refugees of the South
—the strolling lords of the rice-swamps
and cottumfields—'nelnding the most ex
traordinary and miscellaneous celebrities

wines and meats, can crowd and crush to-
gether
The Southern loan will have a sudden
rise, figuring at a premium proportioned
to the slide it has had since Gen. Grant
invested some of- its best securities in
United Suites stock. Lord Palmerston
will straighten himself' up, and talk more
jauntily and impudently than ever (spiri
ted old rake that be is) about the rights
of belligerents, the tenacity of the South,
the littuity of the North, the sacred du
ties of, neutrals, and the impossibility of
hindering steamships, ordered for the
Grand q...atna of Thibet or a dead Pasha
of Egypt, running down American mer
chant ships, and robbing and burning
thetu in sight of the Irish coast, in the
name of a Confederacy the keystone of
which is Slavery, and the prestige and
hope of which seem now to depend main
ly upon the exploits of its buccaneers.—
Members of Parliament—Messrs. Roe
buck, Gregory, and Lindsay—will grow
all the more importunate with their "mo
tions" for intervention ; and as for the
conscientious shipwrights of Glasgow and
Birkenhead, they will be emboldened by
the event to lay thokeels of another coup
le of monstrous iron -clads, christening one
of . them The Vallundigham and the oth
er Die Colperhead, and consecrating
both, in the enlightened and holy spirit
of Great Britons, to the cause of Slavery
and the devastation of Commerce
The defeat of Mr. Brough will have a
similar effect in France. We shall have
another pamphlet from INI. Chevalier i
glowing with an imperial inspiration—
setting forth the expediency and gran
deur of recognizing the new Power, of
which the two polished old gentlemen
accidentally captured by Admiral Wilkes
.in the vicinity of Nassau, and consigned
for a few days to Boston harbor by mis
take, have been, foi more than a year and
a half, at the back doors of the . Tuilleries
and Windsor Castle, the' suppliant envoys
on a dubious probation. In fine, there is
not an enemy. of the United States abroad
—not one jealous or revengeful witness
of their marvelous development and tran
quility previous to the war, or of their
equally marvelous energy, presistency,
resources and bravery all through it—Who
will not exult in the event, and- more or
less eagerly take aavantage of it, should
the loyal and patriotic citizens- of-Ohio be
overborne by the disunionists and traitors,
who, in the name of State-rights.and Ha

CARLISLE, PA., FRIDAY, OCTOBER 9, 1863.
when the noble sentitnent-One Vountry,
One Flag, One ,Destiny—was the per
vading and supreme sentiment of thepeo 7
ple, and the peace, which_ equal laws and
an impartial prosperity secured, ; seemed
to be a blessing specially reserved for this
great Commonwealth; even,in such tildes
it was held by the wisest and loftiest of
our public teachers, that the More inti
mate the relations existing between the
State and Federal authorities, the hap
pier, the stronger, the more enterprising
and successful would the'Nation be,„ the
more respected and influential would 'be
its character abroad, the-better assured
would be the splendors of' its future, the
more illustrious the example with which
it would enrich and illuminate hu.
manlibcrty• Ifin suehf fortunate times as
these referred to here, the necessity for
this thorough harmony and identification
of the State with the Federal authorities
was so imperative, how much more so
must it be when war supersedes peace,
and a condition of affairs presents itself,
in which the central power of the nation
must succumb, be ridden over and tram
pled out, unless it be unreservedly, with
en intense sincerity, energy and pride-sus
tained. Elect Mr. Vaflandigham, -and
you will have a State Government, the
current of whose sympathies; to say the
least of it will flow toward Richmond and
deepen there, instead of flowing into
Washington, and bearing thence on a
generous tide the sacred ph dgc of Ohio,
that; come what may, she will stand, in
the plenitude of her resources and heroic
heart, by the Government of the United
States in ets determination to maintain
end perpetuate, undivided and unim
paired, in the fullness of its freedom and
the glory of its vast. growth,. the-. inheri
tance of the American,people. Elect Mr.
Vallandigham; - and - you - will have a Guy
er), meet in_ Columbus., the _poliey_and.aer_
tion of which will essentially, violently,
fatally, be in (mast with the policy and
action of the Government at Washington ;
and from which, it is certain, a world of
discord - and complications will arise to
the vexation of the latter, to the oppro
.brium of your State, to the eminent ad•
vantage and perfect satisfaction of the
public enemy.
Arc you, the citizens of Ohio, to per
'nit these inglorious and disastrous results
to take place ? After all you have done—
done so liberally and done so bravely—to
sustain the National G overnment, will
you now desert that Government, pulling
down the pillars on which it has securely
and grandly rested in yrnikgrettt
and substituting obstacles and dangers to
its authority, and the righteous and sub
lime cause of which it is the citadel ? Is
it possible—after your priceless contribu,
tions to them of the flower of your man
hood, the beauty and pride of which are
imperishably blended with the beams that
burst in a sudden blaze of victory above
Fort Donnelson, and traveled in unwaver
ing lines of glory through the storm that
shook the earth at Murfreesboro-is it pos
sible you will now desert the Army of the
Mississippi, the Army of the Cumberland,
the Army of the Potomac, and those ships
and batteries, which, under the unerring
guidance an young mind, as indomitable
as it, is fruitful, now rain upon the delin
quent city of Charleston a just chastise
ment, as I have sail, for her initiatory
boldness in this Rebellion ?
From the outset of the war, Mr. Val
landigham has been emphatically and ve
hemently opposed to it. There has been
nothing evasive, nothing temporizing,
nothing cowardly in his opposition to it.
Ile has not, like most of his disciples in
New-YOrk, declared for hostilities when
war was the popular rage, and, after aid
ing in the equipment of Volunteers, and
fanning the martial fire, twirled or sneaked
about to the rear, in a season of public
depression or caprice, when the National
cause was under a cloud, and with the gra
vity of a sanctimonious swindler—
—the mildest Mannered man
That arm- wutiled ship or cut a throat"—
stuck the white feather in his hat, and,
bidding his memory and conscience de
fiance, started with a villainous equanimity
as a preacher of the new Gospel of Peace.
However strongly we may depr3cate his
opinions and public conduct; however
strongly we maycondemn and repudiate
him as a perverted citizen, -and invoke
against him the judgement of the people,
whose patriotism arid heroism find in him
no vibratory cord—we must admit that
Mr. Vallandighain has been consistent,
intrepid, uncompromising, and implacable
front first to last. In this attitude you
find him ; in this attitude you must deal
with him. Persisting in it, Ohio will de
termine, by au overwhelming majority,
that Mr. Vallandigham shall be kept dis
armed until the war is over; and, in doing
so, Ohio shall have the hearty congratu
latious of.evertrue Jacksonian Democrat.
I have the honor to he,
Tory faithfully, your friend,

Southern' Slavery and the Christian
On the 18th December, 1860, Judge Wood
ward, the present Democratic Copperhead
candidate for Governor of Pennsylvania, do•
livered a speech in Philadelphia, in which, ar
guing that the world cannot and will not live
without cotton, and that cotton can be raised
only by negroes in a state of slavery, he went
so far as to say :
And thus it happens that the providence
of that Good Being who has watched over us
from the beginning, and saved us from exter
nal foes, has so ordered our internal relations
us to make Negro Slavery an incalculable
blessing to us and to the people of Great Brit
ain.
" It will be said that Slavery is sin against
God, and therefore, that all reasons drawn
from our material interests, fur favoring or
abetting it, must go for nothing. If it be ft
sin, I agree there is an end to my argument.
But what right has the Abolitionist to pro•
uounce it a sin ? I say Abolitionist, because
the pastor of the First Presbyterian Church
of Brooklyn, in a sermon preached within a
week, defined an Abolitionist to be one who
holds that Slavery is a sin. I accept the defi
nition, and according to it, many of our best
Christian people must be accounted Abolition
ists; fur it is astonishing how extensively the
religious mind of the N,rth has admitted into
itself that suspicion, nut to say conviction,
that slaveholding is ti sin. If a sin, then it
is a violation of some Divine law; for sin is
the transgression pf the law. Now I deny
that any such law has ever been revealed...
"The burden of showing it is on him who
alleges It ; and wheu it is shown, I- agree it
shall rule out all that has been said or can be
said for a Union founded on slavery. I bind
myself never to raise my voice again iu be,
half of such a Union. But so far from any
such law being found plainly written for our
instruction, whoever writ study the Patriarchal
and Levitical institutions weft ore the principle of
human bondage and of properly in Man divinely
sanctioned, ij divinely ordained; and in all the
sayings of our Saviour we hear no injunction
for the +oppression of a slavet•y which existed
'under
_deliv.ered_mauy
maxims and principles which, like the golden
cult: v enter eight-into and -regulate Alm - relit , -
lion. So do the writings of Paul abound
with regulations of the relation, but not with
injunctions for its suppression.
'• If we go to the must accredited commen
tators, or consult divines really wise and good
in our own midst,--or, what is better, study
and search the sceiptures for ourselves,—we
shall fail lo find a law.witich, fairly interpret
ed and.upplied, justifies any man in asserting,
in or out of the pulpit, that the negro slavery
of the United States is sinful. What right
then, I ask again, has the Abolitionist t o cheat
tender consciences into hostility to an loath u
tiara on wit MI our Union is founded in part '1
Good people y• y, we do not wish to disturb
slavery where it exists by local law, but be
Bering it to be sinful and inexpedient, we:will
not submit to its extension. nor assist to. re
store the fugitive to his master Such people
sour, COlllO to conceive that the morS—tin•Crtend
ly they can feel towards slavery, the more
harsh speeches they make about slavebolders,
the more they help on the irrepressible con
flict, the better they wild recointuend them
selves to God."
It appears that Judge IVoodward's teaching
has not been without, effect. Ills pre cut sup.
porters maintain his false doctrines and pro
claith these infamous notions wiz bout reserve.
The following letter on this subject from Mr.
Stroud, well known by his •alu.oble work on
" The Law of Slavery," appears in the Phila.
deiphia North American U. 8. Gazette, and
will "enable every one to judge fur himself"
concerning this new issue in party politics:
"From several pamphlets recently publish
ed and extensively circulated, it has become
evident that a new issue in Pennsylvania
party politics has been inaugurated, viz. :
Whether negro slavery, as it is maintained
in the Southern States now in rebellion a
gainst the national government, is consistent
with the Christian religion ?
"I deem it proper, therefore in order that
every one may be enabled to judge for him
self on this important subject, to give a very
brief summary of the legal incidents of
Southern slavery. Every part and parcel of
this summary may be authenticated by the
statutes of one or other of those States, and
reported decisions of their highest courts of
judicature.
"It is a fundamental principle of negro
slavery that a slave 'is a thing—a chattel
wholly under the dominion of his master, sub
ject to be bought and sold precisely as if he
were a horse or a mule. Ile may be fed and
clothed much or little as his master may pre
scribe—may be compelled to labor as well
on one day as tind as hard and as
long as his master may direct.
"Tli.'e slave has no legal right whatever—
cannot owii: anything, may be forbidden all
society with his fellows, may be kept in the
most abject ignorance, is not allowed to be
instructed to re. d, is without any legal pro
vision fur acquiring a knowledge Of his re
ligious ditties, incapable of a lawful mar
riage, denied all authority over those who are
admitted to be his natural offspring, liable
to have them at any age torn from him,
without the slightest consultation or defer
ence to lt,is judgment or his feelings, and
liable himself to be torn from them and from
their mother, with whom he has been pre
mitted and encouraged to cohabit as his wife.
He may be thus ruthlessly carried to a re
turnless distance; not only from his children
and t J heir mother,' but from all else that he
may hold dear.
"The law also expressly sanctions his
master in beating him with a horsewhip or
cowskin, in chaining him, putting him in
irons, compelling him to Wear pronged iron
coll.irs, confining him in prison, hunting him
with dugs, and when outlawed, as he may be
for running away, he may be killed by a! y
one to whom he may refuse to surrender.
"The Whole of this summary I pledge my
self to maintain in its literal and lull extent,
according to the law of one or another of the
Southern Slaveholding States.
GEO. M. STROUD."

Let us for a moment look at the origin of
African slavery. From the "Encyclopedia
Americana" wo learit that it commenced a
few years ore the discovery of America. In
1434 a Portuguese captain named, Alonza
Goniales stole some colored lads and sold
them to advantage in the south of
Portugal and Spain had large numbers of no
groes imported to America, after a discovery
of the gold pines. In 1611 Spain's king au•
thorized large numbers to be imported to
America. Thus the traffic was -introduced,
and it is a pandit.' fact that. for about three
centuries nearly the whole Christian world
was engaged in plundering Africa's heathen
shore of its inhabitants, and speculating in
their bodies and souls. See the slave ship
dense y stowed with human beings—having
scarcely room to lie down or sit erect, fas
tened together with irons, in a room not yen
tilated, and all !his in a sultry climate. The
result is, that most dangerous and fatal . dis
eases are soon bred among them, whereby
vast numbers exported from Africa have per.
ished in the voyage. Others starve them
selves to death. President Edwards computa•
tiou is that 20,000 annually perished in ex
porting them to America. Mr Edward's
computed that of the 100,000 slives annually
exported, 60,000 . Were capthres fiike‘h in war,
and ten persons were killed iu the capture of
ue. 50,000 then in th - e time of Mr. Ed
wards were slain in battle, 50,000 de iroyed
on the voyage in the season, making an an
nual destruction of 100,000 men, women and
children in order to procure 60,000 slaves.
The stealing of colored people, the manner
in which they are transported to AilleriUa,
aol then their subsequent Haver is awful.
The extent of this deep-toned wickedness can
not be known till the judgment. Then will
the ocean heave forth her thousands who were
smothered in the prisons that floated over her
bosom, atirLtif the multiplied thousands who
Rent .fanusbeil_llllll buried iu her deeps.. The
sea also, and Africa, wet with tears and blood, •
will have a doleful tale to tell in the judge
ment. 'And yet this is claimed "tobe an in
!mount system " What , . an institution that
destroys multiplied thousands of lives when
it, best flourishes! Au in.,titution that vio
lates the most sacred, natural, universal, in ,
alienable, god given and dearest Tights of hu
man nature! An institution that refuses the
a right to pursue happiness—degrading lin.
man beings to the level of brut es and things
—turns human flesh, bones, blood, sinews,
muscles, nerves into articles of common mer
chandise, and sets a price on Fools, morale,
religion and the sacred image of Almighty
God himself! An iip•titution -violating the
Golden Rule! Au institution denying an ed

marriage relation ! Au in institution disre
glniing the parental and filial relations: An
institution utterly improverishiw , its victims!

of great national trouble—see its working.. in
our nation c tusing quarrels, duels, callings,
thefts, lastly rebellion, and a dreadful war,
causing the most profuse blood .shed, anti
lons of life and property! An institution fur
which God punished Zedekinh, and is now
scourging us as a nation ! and ye: claim that
it is an institution iisIIOCCEIL ill its nature! I
Astounding! Could blindness be greater
titan this?
" Agitation of the slavery question through
out the nation is wrong," say some. Is this
true? No. Inasmuch as it is one of the
most complicated iniquities in the nation, ag
it al ion is the best means of ridding ourselves
of the evil. Through agitation Great Britian
abolished slavery in 1808—then in 1824 they
passed a law declaring the trade to he piracy.
Portugal in 1823, France in 1815, Spain in
1820, Netherlands in 1818, Sweden is 1813,
Brazil in 1830, Denmark in 1803, and thank
God, last of all the United States in 1863.--
So much fur agitation! Thank God this prog

Why is it that good men o pose theeman•
oipatiou of the enslaved ? ertain yit
is a
wicked system. Is it nog_ ecauso of party
politics ? The enslaved have prayed for free
dom—good people have prayed for it—God is
answering it and in his own good 'time free
don) is being enjoyed. Amen. I have de
sired it I . have prayed for it--I long fur it.
God hasten the time when all may be free,
and have free access to schools, the gospel im

so destitute of human feelings as to claim that
the arrangement is right - and just 1 I (row
not.
SHARP PancrtoE.—Many years ago,
at a clinner-party in Glasgow, there was
present a lawyer of very sharp practice,
fond of giving toasts or sentiments. Af
ter the cloth was removed, and the bottle
had gone round once or twice, the ladies
withdrew to the higher pleasures of the
drawing-room, all but a very plain old
maid. She remained behind, and as the
conversation began to be a little mascu
line, our friend of the long robe was anx
ious to god rid of the "ancient," and for
this purpose rather prematurely asked
Thrumbs the privilege of giving a toast.
This being granted,.he rose and gave the
toastoof "Honest men and bonny lasses."
The toast was drank with all honor, when
the dame who sitting near the lawyer,
rose frc m her seat, gave the lawyer a
poke in the ribs with the,end of her fin
ger, and after having said, "Mr „the
toast applies neither to you nor me," left
the room.

The Governor discussed the various ques

to his ortbrodoxy and patriotism. No part
of his speech was more warmly welcomed,
than his magnanimous and striking-vindica
tion_of the policy of hir. Lincoln and his Ad:
ministration. But it was when fie We'
attention of the audience to the ffact' that he
asked their support because his election would
be a tribute to the army and navy, and some
slight recognition of the self sacrificing bra
very of the soldiers of Pennsylvania, that ho
awakened the greatest enthusiasm. Without
assaulting his Competitor, he drew attention
to the fact that Judge Woodward was the au.
thor of the opinion disfranchising the soldiers,
and that ho was running on a platform framed
and erected at Harrisburg, one plank of which
is a resolution endorsing and sympathising with
l'allandiglia»z, who, while in Congreis," refused
to vote supplies and money to the troops defen
ding the old flag. At this moment. I saw tears
rolling down the cheeks of hundreds. Seated
near the spot where Governor Ctirtin 'watt
standing was an old sailor, the only sur
vivor of the crew the of flagship of Commodore
Perry, (and Governor Curtin spoke on the.
anniversary of Perry's victory,) , and when the
Governor took the old man by the hand, and
rai-ed him to his side, so that all' could be
hold him, cheers made the welkin ring, and,
new emotions excited and thrilled the crowd,
The name of this sailer hero was Ben. Flem

was the unfurling of the flag of the decimated
83d 'R e giment, composed of Erie . .boys„ Of
which there now remain but three hundred
survivors. Col. McLane, who was originally
in command of the Regiment, was a captain
in the Mexican war. At the breaking out of
the rebellion • he was Sheriff of Erie county,
and was tendere'd, by Gov. Curtin, the 'po

in the following:
" Walking along the streets of Erie, we
met a young follow who had lest an arm in
battle, and who was presented to toe as
Lieut. Col. Huydekeeper. Senator Lowry
explained to me that the mother of this young
man, with the true devotion of a noble heart,
upon hearing of his severe wounds, had gone
to the hoipital to seek him out.; a hospital

when she found - her soldier son. You_can
well imagine the affeetinm-seetie Which lfolL
lowed—the gladness of the wounded soldier
to see his mother, and her own agony at
meeting her mutilated boy. Lowry, who is
one of the most sensitive of ~men,,stood.
and witnessed this scene with flowing tears
and he turned to the mother and said, "Oh,
madam, this not terrible'?" Her reply is
worthy of all that we bear of the . ],tolnilri
matrons of early days. Straightening her

she answered, "it is very sad, it:is very hor
