Pure Coppei
Our readers will remember the order is
sued by General Burnside on Om dst day of
June last, suppressing a paper called the
Chicago Times on account of the repeated
expression in its columns of disloyal and
incendiary sentiments. The order waS.,re
scinded because it did not meet with the air/
probation of the President, but no loyal man
doubted the justice it sought to evoke, howev
er much he nui,;t:t doubt the propriety of
using it. Our own opinion was, that the
order was right and should have been enfor
,ced, and we are confirmed in that opinion
by a recent circumstance, which shows no
abatement in the disloyal tendencies of the
publishers of the Tines. Gen'l. Burnside—
a man whom all loyal people delight to honor
—having recently visited Chicago with the
patriotic purpose of securing, recruits for his
Ninth Army Corps, the Times thus heralded
hia co mi :
"Tne BUTCHER COMING.—The Butcher of
Fredericksburg and attempted assassin of the
liberty of speech and of the press in the
Northwest is coining to Chicago, on the in
vitation of sundry abolitionists, who propose,
we believe, to make a public exhibition of
him sometime during this day. They are fit
parties for the perforniance, and he is a fit
-object for their adulation. He is no: much
-of a sight however. He was not the head
butcher and assassin ; he was only the crett•
-tnre, the mean instrument, the puppet, the
jumping jack of the principal butchers and
assassins. He did not conceive the butchery
and assassination; he does not rise to any-
Thing so grand as that; he was the ruffian
procured to do the crimes, than which char
actor none is so detestable in the eyes of
mankind. It is this ruffian who will be on
exhibition in some public place in Chicago
to-day, surrounded by even meaner ruffians
than himself. He will have spectators as
other monstrosities do, but -it must be a sin.
gularly - triol mind that will enjoy the re
pulsive spectaele."
Could political malignity or sympathy with
traitors go further than this ? To stigmatize
one of our best generals as a "butcher and
assassin," and nat only him, but the Presi
dent and other officers of the Government,
ip an offense which, in this day of peril to
our institutions, merits the severest punish
ment civil or military law can inflict. And
we toll those who are in auth city at Wash
ington ,that they underestimate the patriot
of the people and overestimate the lib.
City of the press if they allow such utteran
ces!Ad t. 13.9 ,of the Times to go unrebuked

The Disgrace in Congress.
On Friday last, in the National [lonise of
Representatives, Speaker Colfax called Mr.
Rollins, of New'Hampshire, to the ohair, and
rising to a question of privilege °fared the
following resolutions
Whereas, Ou the Bth day of April, 1864,
when the House of the Representatives was
in Committee of the Whole on the State of
the Union, Alexander Long, a Representative
iu Congress from the Second district of Ohio,
declared himself in favor of recognizing the
independent nationality of the so called°Cou
tederacy, now iu arms against the Union;
and
Whereas, The said so-ealled Confederacy,
thus sought to be recognized and established
ou the ruins of a dissolved or destroyed Union,
has held us its chief officers, civil and milita•
ry, those who have added perjury to their
treason, and wno seek to obtain success for
their parricidal efforts by the killing of the
loyal upholders of the OntIOO, who are striv•
ing to save it from destruction.
And whereas, The oath required of all mem
bers, and taken by the said Alexander Long
on the first day of the present Congress, de
clares that "1 have voluntarily given no aid,
countenance, c0n0,21, ur encouragement to
persons engaged in armed hostility to the
United States," thereby declaring that such
conduct is legardrd as inconsistent with went
bershtp in tie el,ugreos Or the United States;
therefore be it
Resolved, Thad Alexander Long, a Repro.
sentatire from the S. cool li-crict or Ohio,
having, en the Sib ut Aptil, 1864 declared

, It will bo noticed that our reprsentative,
Hon. Jos BALLY,' is found voting ou the right
side, in favor of the expulsion. ,We °tunnel
find language strung enough- to express .our
gratitude to Mr. Baily, for this renewed evi
dence of his fidelity to his pledge' of fealty to
the Union. True the duty in this instaeoe
was a plain one—squarely an issue between
treason and loyalty ; but in these days of, po

assistance of the best men in that organize- .

such foul treason as that vomited forth upon
the country on Friday last. The Union lov.
ing citizens oft his congressional district send
greeting to their representative, and exhort
him to stand firmly in his present reighteous
and honorable' position, fearing no evil.
On the failure of the resolution to expel,
Mr. Schenck of Ohio introduced the following.
Resolved, That Benjamin O. Harris, a rep•
reseutative from the Fifth district of the
State of Maryland, having spoken words this
day in debate manifestly tending and dtiiiigned
to encourage the existing rebellion and the
public enemies of the nation, is declared to
be au unworthy member of this House, and
is therefore severely censured.
Mr. 'MADLORY unsuccessfully moved an
adjournment—yeas 21 nays 82.
Mr. ELDRIDGE, of Wisconsin, moved that
the resolution be laid upon the table. This
was decided in the negative—yeas 23 nays 80.
Alter further proceedings, the resolution of
Mr. Schenck was adopted—yeas 92 nays 81.
Mr. Bally voting, as before, in the atlirma•
Live,
The Philadelphia Press, in a leader on (ha
subject very fittingly says:
That Ivy.> men. should rise in the Congress
of the United States, boldly affirm the right
of secession, the justice of the rebellion, and
advocate the dissolution of tlin Union, is , shatne
almost too monstrous to be,ieve. But that
these men should not beat once expelled, that
that they should find other members basc
enough to defend, a party strung enough to
protect them, is something muse than shame;'
it is infamy. Great Heaven ! to what have
we come, when treason reveals itself on the
floor of Congress, and successfully defies the
power of the law and the indignation of the
peopl.. Either we, the people, have failed
in our duty in this war, or we have been dis
gracefully deceived in sending to Congress
the tifty eilqht Representatives who refused to ex
pel Mess rt Long and Harris fur what they
dared to say last week.
“I prefer the recognition of the Southern
Confederacy to the continuance of the war fur
the Union" This is whet My. Long had the
audacity to say on Friday ; this is the dis
honorable declaration which Mr. Harris had
the atabuiun to excel, and which he did ex
eel in 11is infttneus speech in the fierce debate
of Saturday. —I endorse every sentiment ut

and worthy to he a Representative, we see
no teasou why Mr. Lln,r, should not in time
become President.
Speaking for all loyal auil hra‘ve men, we
thank you, Mr. Colfax, for your just reso
lin ion, and the good argument %yids which you
prure,l that it should be passed. Messrs
Washburn°, Kelley, Schenck, Garfield, and
the others of the eighty one uncompromising
men who voted to expel a Seoessiobist, will
be remembered by the people. Nor will the
fifty eight gentlemen whose votes gave that
Secetosionist the power to repeat his treason
be forgotten That some of them should do
fend treason is to be expected, but others will
kayo a terrible account to settle with their
constituents. How very brave must be these
fifty-eight heroes thus to defy the patriotism,
and pride, and auger of a illation ! What
magnanimity they displayed in the saerifice
of the honor of the Republic to an avowed
friend of the rebellion. Their names should
be written in letters of -gold, and inscribed
where all the world could read, -these were

Congress of the United States I"

Our Finances
We are sorry that the Democrats should
be at such labor to prove the approaching
financial ruiu'•of the country—alas for Cas
sandra's grief—but we fear that their tears
will not turn into golden nuggets until they
give an honest and earnest support to the
Government. 'ln the meantime we are per
fectly at ease respecting the success of our
financial policy. It is useless to speak of
Revolutionary shinplasters, when the thir
teen colonies had neither manufactures,
mines, commerce, or any source of wealth
from which to draw substantial revenue, or
even prospects for a coherent body politic•
Row idle to declaim concerning French as
signets, when every schoolboy knows that
France, exausted by civil war, and worn out
by intestine difficulties, was struggling amid
uncertain political forms, with all Europe
united against hor.
On this topic wo cannot refrain quoting
from the admirable speech of Senator Con
nell, delivered in the State Senate a few
days ago :
The channels of industry interrupted at
the breaking out of the war, are again fully
occupied. The fact that our exports of do
mestic produce in the third year of the war
were $73,476,000 greater than that of the
second year, is strongly significant of our
recovery of its first paralyzing effect.
I assume,
th e n, as an assured fact, that
we can go ou, as we are now progressing, if'
need be, for lung years to come as our debt
increases our wealth increases in still larger
proportion. If we add $i00,000,000 to the
debt side of the account this year we shall
have some twelve or fifteen hundred millions
accumulated profit to meet it; and so of the
next year, and the next indefinitely. Bor
rowing' only from ourselves, the enormous
annual addilions to the national wealth will
enable the people to advance the Govern
ment all the necessary means until the last,
traitor shall be driven from the field and the
rebel flag float no longer over ono foot of
soil within the territory of the nation.
Ours,'Mr. Speaker, is a grand destiny to
develop to the fullest extent the immeasur
able resources of a continent—the future
home, I trust, of the mightiest, freest nation
of the earth. I have lull and undoubting
confidence that we shall accomplish ihat high
and glorious m scion, though the dark pros
pect of dismemberment has sometimes loom

But tio Senators from free States had the
courage,to put thetnse yes on the Journal of
the United States Senate against submitting
the question of prohibiting slavery, consti
tutionally and according to the Constitution,
to the people. The two Senators referred
to are Hendricks of Indiana, and McDou
gall of California. The other four votes are
Davis and Powell of Kentucky, Riddle and
Saulsbury of Deleware. Messrs. Buckalow
of Pennsylvania, Wright of New Jeasey,
and Richardson of Illinois, dodged or wore
absent.
Should this proposition pass the House by
a two third vote, it will come fairly before
the State legislatures fur adoption, and when
ratified by three fourths of all the State leg.
islatures it will become part and parcel of
the Constitution of the United States, slavery
be abol4hed, and•the peace of the country
permanently established.
To the submission of this question, ac
cording to the forms of the Constitution to
the people oldie United States, our democrat
ic friends would have no objection, Con
gress has at three 'different times proposed
amendments to-the Constitution of the Uni
ted States, which were ratified by three.
fourths of all the State legisiatores, and ore
now a part of that instrument, The first
was proposed in 1789, the second in 179-i1
the third in 1803. Qther amendments were
propeced at different times but were not
adopted by the people of, thy States as pre
scribed. by the Constitution.
110‘v if. our .Democratie -friends of the
House will two in and give the requisite
two-third vote iu favor ,of the amendments
and give the people a chance, they may be
able fo dispose of slavery constitutionally.
That of • donne . is according to democracy.
If the peeple ratify it according to,the con•
stitotion, the Party claiming to inherit the
principles of Jefferson and Jackson should
not stand in the way. What say the dem
ocracy of the United , States house of Rep
resentatives to this?
Has the Government Performed its
Duty ?
From tho Philadelphia North American.
If the loyal government now contending a•
gal list treason has com4itted errors in the
course of the war, it is not by any means re
markable or censurable. The contest is one
of immense proportions and peculiar charm:
teristics The weapons are unusully destruc
tive, and all the appliances costly in propor

long, in many instances by steam power, to
meet th e enemy, who has a similar advantage,
chiefly conferred by northern capital, when
our people anticipated no such outbreak.—

The Union 'Meeting, in Tennessee.
Spoech or Gonorol Rousseau—He Favors Na
po Coneoription in Keutuoky.
On the 21st instant a very large Union
meeting was held at SSelbyville, about 4ix•
ty-five wiles sou heat of 'Nashville.
The citi.tens of twelve chillies in Middle
and West. Tvonessee were present, to the
tovnber of 2,500. The NashVillo
says fifty Counties would have been repre
sented had :he weather been propit'ous.— .
Speeches. was wade by Andy Johnson, Col
onel Tillman, and Gen. Rousseau, 01 Ken
tucky. We extract a brief portion of the
last named speaker's remarks:
Secessionists everywhere ore just now
much. encouraged by the condition of at
lairs in Kentucky. They -have some hope
of di ffi culties—perhaps of collision between
Kentucky and the General Government.—
That.. State is called upon to furnish her
qoutoof soldiers for our tinny; and with a
view to ascertain her stretigth in able-bod
ied men, an enrolment tins been ordered of
all her able-bodied black men, including
slaves. They may or may not be drafted ;
but the enrolment points in that direction;
and yet she may, if she will, fill her quota
with white men. To the drafting of neeroes
a large portion of the people of Kentucky
are opposed. I have been opposed to it my
self; my .prejitclices, like theirs, were a
gainst it, and like them I had rather it would
not be, if we could get along as well without
it; and yet I am free to say, that my judgement
is not as much in my way as my prejudices
in this matter; for there is no good reason'
why a negro, any more than a white man,
should be exempted from fighting for the
Government under which he is to be free.
But our pr. judices whisper in our ears,
that it places them on an equality with the
white man, to put upon them the sold'er's
uniform, and place them in the ranks of the
army; that the flag of our country is pollut
ed by the touch of their degraded hands,
and that we are dishonored by their enlist
meet ; that this is the white man's wan with
ou. "Southern brethren," alide should nut
allow the negro to thglit them. NTa I, I have
thought over all this ; have trodeen toy pre
judrees under tny feet and asked myself'
whether the poor men—the masses of the
country—who till the ranks of our army, and
fight the battles of the nation, should stand
a double or treble draft, and Lave their
wives and children, or Gathers and mothers,
perhaps never to return again ; or that a
fair proportion of the able-bodied blacks of
the country should be called upon to du their
part of the fighting in this war lor the exist
ence of the Govertowint. 'And I snit frank
to tell von that I think the negro should do
his share. I dun t like to fight much by
the side.of a negro; my prejudices are in
war ; in fact, they have been at war with
toy judgment from the beginning of the re
bellion till the present moment. But, it
necessary to save the Government, I would,
without hesitation, take command of a di VlB
- of negroes, and do the best fighting I
could in the holy cause of my country.

TRoUBLE AMONG 'THE BEER SALOONS,
—A considerable flutter among the keepers
of the numerous beer and ale saloons of our
town was occasioned by the appearance early
this week of the following bill:
An Act relatiny to Restaurants and Beer
Iluteses in lice Cowlly of Cumberland
Saar. 1. Be it enacted by the Senate and
House of Representatives of the Common
wealth of Pennsylvania in General Assent
bly net, and it is hereby enacted by the au
thority of the seine, That the provisions of
an act entitled a further supplement to an
net to regulate the sale of intoxicating
floors. approved the 2d day of April, A. D.
1860, be and ihe same are hereby extended
to Cum berle nd county, and all acts and parts
of acts now in force in said county inconaist.
ent herewith, be and the same are hereby
repealed. ~..„
SEC. 2. Licenses to keep restaurants and
beer houses in said county shall only be
grunted by the Court of Quarter Sessions at
the first or second session in each year, and
the applicant shall present to the Court with
his or her petition a certificate signed by at
least twelve reputable citizens of the ward,
borough or township, in which such restau,
rant or beer house is proposed to be kept,
setting forth that the applicant is of tempe
rate habits and good moral character, and
said applicant shall give notice of his inteu•
ded application in two newspapers printed
in said county for two successive weeks prior
to the Court at which application is made.
HENRY C. JOHNSON,
Speaker of House of Rep.
JOHN J. PENNEY,
Speaker of the Senate.
Approved the Bah day of April, A. D
1861. A. G. CURTIN. -
Tho licenses of th'ese saloons were for
molly issued by the County Treasurer, with
the approval of the District Attorney, and
most of them expirein this or next month.
The provisions of this law preclude those
wbo have not already secured their licenses
for next year from making application until
the succeeding January term of Court. The
immediate effect of this act will be to close
two-thirds of the beer saloons in the county,
and the ultimate result will be to reduce the
number et least two-thirds. A number of
the proprietors of these places complain,
justly we think, of the unequal working of
th. low, from the foot that its late appear.
ance rendered it impossible for them to make
application at this court for license, and that
it discriminates unfairly in favor of those
who have already secured license in the Qld
way, for the ensuing year: . Butthet the bill
itself is eminently a just and proper one,
and that it will prove of incalculable benefit,
to. our citizens cannot be gainsayed by any bgt
the moSt. depraved, Any law that pill have
