THE NEW MILITIA LAW.
This law which passed the Legislature du
ring the last session, and was approved by
the Governor on (he 21st of April, 1858,
would make more ihan. two pages of our pa
per, and is therefore entirely too voluminous
for publication in the columns of a newspa
per. Our readers must be content with the
following synopsis of its more important pro
visions, which we copy from the Pittsburg
Dispatch :
The persons subject and exempt frem nii
liita duty are as heretofore. The enrollment
is made by assessors, at their usual time of
assessing, by assessing a tax of fifty cents
upon all not exempt by law ; leaving notice
of such enrollment at their plsces of residence
or business, and posting up three copies of
the list, with notice of the time and placs of
hearing appeals from assessment. Exempts
are to make oath of their exemption, to be -
Iod by assessors in the commissioners' office,
the legality thereof to be decided by commis
sioners, who shall file a certified list of ex
empts for future guidance of assessors. As
scssors make oath to their Militia roll as cor
rect, and furnish a copy to commissioners and
brigade inspector and report to the comman
dant of the brigade the names of those refu
sing information, or making false statements,
who shall be deemed guilty of misdemeanor.
All officers engaged in enrolling or assessing
shall pursue the instructions of the Adjutant
General and perform their duties, or be pun
ished as for a misdemeanor .
The commutation cf fifty cents is to be col
lected as other taxes, and go to the militia
fund of the county. Captains of volunteer
companies shall (within five days after the
first Monday in May) deliver alphabetical
rolls to the brigade inspector and commission
ers also a sworn list of honorary members
who have paid fifty ceLts to the company
funds, which shall exempt such person from !
militia tax and commanders of brigades and ,
companies may remit by certificate a tax as
sessed erroneously. The collectors arc re
quired to make oath of diligence in'collectir g ,
militia tax.
County Treasurers shall keep an account
of the militia fund in suitable books. It shall
be expended on orders of a board of officers,
countersigned by the commander of the bri
gade specifying the purpose and such board
shall seUle the accounts of county or city of
ficers.' Taxes unpaid shall be added to the next
year's assessment. Clerk of Commissioners
fchall report number enrolled to Adjutant Gen
eral. Assessors to be paid as for other as
sessments, treasurer one per cent., collectors
same as for other taxes.
Section four relates to the organization of
the Militia, and their uniform and discipline.
The State is divided into twenty divisions, of
which we need only give the following :
"Sixteenth division 3edford, Somerset,
Cambria and Blair. Seventeenth division
Westmorland, Fayette, Washington and
Green. Eighteenth division Allegheny,
Armstrong, Indiana, and Jefferson. Nine
teenth division Heaver, I'utler. Mercer and
Lawrence, Twentieth division Crawford,
Erie Venango and Warren.
"Each county in this Commonwealth shall
be a separate brigade, and shall be numbered
in the divisions to which they severally be
loDg by the brigade inspectors and brigadier
generals : lyrovided, That the city of Phila
delphia shall bo divided into three brigades,
as at present established.
"Each brigade, regiment, battalion, squad
ron troop and company fehall conform as near
as possible to the regulations of the United
States, but a regiment may consist of five
companies."
Each company shall consist of at least thirty-two
non commissioned officers and private
fully uniformed and equipped the uniforms
of each regiment or battalhon to be as nearly
similar as possible. The section provides al
so for the organization of companies into bat
tallions and brigades, and for the election of
Colonels, Lieutenant Colonels, Majors, Brig
adier Generals and Brigade Inspectors.
Section five relates to elections and appoint
ments of officers, and the sixth to tho Division,
Brigade and Regimental staff. "Tc each
brigade their will be one Brigade Inspector,
with the rank of Major, who shall be elec
ted for the term of five years from the date
of his commission, and be elected in the same
manner as Brigadier Generals aro elected-;
the present Brigade Inspectors to remain in
office until the expiration of .their commis
sions." The salary of tho Brigade Inspec
tor is fixed at 150 per annum; and his du
ties aro fully and clearly defined.
Sec. seven relates to the organization reg
ulation and duties of Bands of musicians.
Sec. eight refers to tho issuing and keep
in"' of arms and caaip equipage. It requires
that every organized company shall cract or
rent an armory, for the safe keeping of arms
and camp equipage,' to be under the super
vision of the commanding officer; the rent not.
to exceed 250 per annum in the city of Phil
adelphia ; 200 in Allegheny county and
llarrisburg, Lancaster, Heading and Potts-
ville ; and 10$ in other districts ; to be paid
out of the military fund of the several bri
gades. Arms nd equipage1, when required
for encamnmenfe. to be furnished bv the Ad
jutant GeneraLlit the expense of the State.
Section nine" telates to parades and rendez
vous. It requires all organized companies
to parade annually "by regiment, battalion,
or company, at such time and place between
the first day of May and the first day of Oc
tober, as the Brigade Inspector shall order
and direct for the purpose of discipline, in
spection." But "in lieu of sail annual pa
rade, the commanding officer of the brigade
may order his brigade any regiment, battal
ion, or company thereof uninformed aud
equiped, to parade and encamp for not to ex
ceed six consecutive days, between the first
days of May rnd October in each year; and
all parades and encampments Loll in pursu
ance of this act, shall bo governed by the
rules and regulations of the army of the
United States, and at least twenty das pre
vious notice of any such parade and encamp
ment shall be given to the Brigade Inspector
by the commanding officer."
"In addition to the annual parade or en
campment herein specified, the. commanding
officer of a regiment or battallion may order
the military forces under his command to pa
rade by battalion or regiment at such time
aud place as he may order not exceeding
twice in any one year, nor longer than one
day at any one time."
"Tho commanding officers of companies in
any city or incorporated borough may, in ad
dition to the annual parade required by this
act, require their companies to meet for pa
rade at such time and place as thcjr shall deem
proper, not to exceed six times iu any ono
year, all other companies not to exceed four
times in any one year; but no officer or mem
ber shall receive pay for parading oftcner
than six times in any one year."
All officers, non-commissioned officers, mu
sicians and privates of any uniformed compa
ny or troop to receive one dollar and fifty
cents for every day actually on duty, and for
each horse used by them two dollars per
day,"
Section ten provides for the orgunizaiion
of Brigade Boards of Auditors, in each bri
gade, for the auditing and settling of ac-
counts.
Section eleven provides for the calling out
of the militia in cases of invasion, insurrec
tions, riots, breaches of the peace, &c , for
their suppression, and defines the duties of
officers and men on such occasions "shall
each receive the compensation of one dollar
and fifty cents per day: and all commissioned
officers the same compensation as is paid to
officers of the army of-tho United States, to
gether will all necessary rations and forage,
and for the horses of the mounted me a one
dollar per day.
Section thirteen provides for the organiza
tions of Courts of Inquiry and Courts Mar
tial for the trial of officers ucd. privates ou
charges of improper and unmilitary conduct.
Section fourteen fixes the fines and penal
ties for violation of the several provisions of
the act, and provides for collections in cases
of conviction.
Section fifteen relates to the Grand Staff,
and provides ""that the grand - staff of the
militia of this Commonwealth shall, (in ad
dition to the Commande-in Chief, who shall
have twenty Aids, being one in each division
with the rank of Lieutenant Colonel, appoin
ted and commissioned by him for the term of
Lis office, and no person shall be elligiblc to
this appointment by the Governor, who shall
not have previously held the commission of
Captain,') consist of an Adjutant General,
who shall, until otherwise ordered, act as
Quartermaster General, Commissary General,
Inspector General, Paymaster Gencial, Judge
Advocate, General and Engineer in Chief,
with the rank of Lieutenant .Colonel, who
shall be appointed and commissioned by the
Commander-in-Chief, for three years from
and after the passage of this act, and who
shall have his office located at llarrisburg,
with the other departments of tho State."
The section defines the duties of the several
officers of the staff, and for the . appointment
by the Commander-in-Chief, of a military
Storekeeper for each Arsenal, whose salary
shall be three hundred dollars per annum.
The salary of the Ajutaut General is fixed
at six hundred dollars, to be pail out of the
military fund; and all other salaries and mil
itary expenses to be paid out of the same
fund. , -. ...
The sixteenth, and last seetiou, provides.
that the Secretary of the Comuioawealth tbill
cause a sufficient number of thia act, to
printed iu pamphlet form, properly indexed,
to furnish every commissioned officer, county
and city commissioners, assessors, collectors,
and receivers of taxes, with a copy thereof;
and also such rules and regulations as may
iu pursuance hereof be made and established
by the commande-in-chief, who, in preparing
the same, shall be governed by the rules and
regulations of the United States, so far as
may seem expedient and proper for the gov
ernment of the Militia of this Common
wealth. Gathering" of the Clans.
Lemuel Topd, chairman of the opposition
Committee, Ex-member of Congress, and the
hero of several futile political coalitions, has
issued "a call for the assembling of a State
Convention, on the Sth cf July next, to nom
inate State officers. This call is exceedingly
comprehensive, embracing all those "opposed i
to the Lecompton swindle and the despotic j
policy of the National Administration in
forcing upon the people of Kansas a Consti
tution in defiance of their known wishes, and
in subversion of the groat right of self gov
ernment; and in favor of a sound American
policy, in opposition to the policy and in
trigues of foreign governments." No doubt
Mr. Todd and his fellow Comunitcc-mcn felt
after constructing this new negative platform
adapted to the times, and intended to inclose
every shade of opposition within one fold, as
if they had discharged a solemn and respon
sible duty to the country in general, including
Africans and themselves in particular. Noth
ing but the highest degree of self satisfaction
coul l have penned this call. We have been
particular in quoting its exact words, because
we regard it as a model and an illustratiou of
the class of pscudo statesmen, of which Mr.
Todd is a worthy specimen. And the first
representative feature in this, h the glaring
deliberation of its falsehood, wherein it as
sorts that the Administration is seeking to
"force upou the people of Kansas a Consti-
tutiou in defiance of their known wi-dies."
Why even at this very time we are daily as
sured b- the Republican presses that the peop
le of Kansas will spurn indignantly the or
dinance submitted by the English bill, and
thus defeat the Lecompton Constitution How
then can the Administration force upon the
people -a Constitution which no power on
earth but their own fr c choice can compel
them to accept? Hut it suited the Committee
to prolong the cr- of force and despotism.
They wished it true and did not stop to see
its fal.Mty. The second representative feature
in this call is the allegation that the Admin
istration is pursuing this forcing process "in
subversion of the great right of self govern
ment." We have no doubt Mr. Todd has a
memory, and we can imagine the amusing
leer with which he penned this beautiful frag
ment. That memory must have carried him
back to the time when he abandoned the
Democratic party because they recognized the
right of the people of the territories, abso
lutely and without reservation, to settle all
their domestic institutions in their own way.
Mr. Todd denounced the Kansas-Nebraska
act in 1854 and 1S50, because it conferred
the right of self government upon the people,
contending for the despotic priuciple of con
gressional prohibition, which did not leave
the people perfectly free; and now- iu 1858
we find him and his coadjutors taking the
back track, mounting the ' platform which
they so often spit upon, and for the paltry
consideration of the mere hope cf a tempo
rary reward, step to the front of the platform,
expose their brazen faces to the public gaze,
and arraign the admiuistratiou for want of
fidelity to the great principle of popular sov
ereignty. Here is a picture to look at a mod
el representative, a perfect Llmuel Gcluver
Todd of modern political romance.
And what is the nlatform of rrincinles unon
which this convention is called? what the! I!romNT DesiATCHE5 Exi-eci ed, A
qualification to its fellowship? Nothing but i U ahlugt correspondent of the Courrier
opposition. Each individual and party can j and Equirtr says that "the Government ex
obtain admission, provided only they arc an- j Vccis important intelligence from England by
imated by a spirit of hatred towards the De- tLc ncxt learner, It is understood that Lord
mocracy. This is the one single bond of ! XaFier has given hls Pimon hat his Gov
tinior, They arc not required to love each ernment will contend for the right of visita
othcr. but only to agree in swearing eternal ; tion of shiFs as dlstin fr0IU th "3ht
hatred to the Democratic party. The very
attempt to consttuct a platform of principles
embracing all the great political questions of:
the day, would scatter the elana thus summon !
ed to couucil into a half dozen fragments.-
Without love for each other they aic expec-
ted to act a3 allies in au offensive war, and
to divide the plunder after the victory. Mr. ;
Todd has given us an idea of the weapons to j
be used and tho allies expected to enlist in j
the contest. If "victory perches upon their j
banner" to use the venerable uprcad-cagle
phraee-we. hope Mr. Todd will not be for-
gotten. The sacrifices of conscience and
consistency he h required to make it. the
cause is certainly equivalent to any reward.

The main features of the proposed ergani

for the exercise of the elective franchise; the
fof-tering of American genius and art; allow

Democracy North and Soutli.
The following ia an extract of a late 1-tter
to tho Baidstown (Ky!) Gazette, from ite ed

city: "1 have met with men cf all parties

say that I see no diiiercuce between politi
cians ia Pennsylvania and Kentucky. The
Democrats here talk just as the Democrats of
Kentucky do; they seem juit as national aa
we are, and have as great dislike to every
thing like sectionalism. I find no Abolition
ists among the Philadelphia Democracy, but,
on the contrary, I have heard more unspa

and the South are pretty much. the same sort
of folks, if the only knew it. They are not
sufficiently acquainted with each other, and
are prejudiced one against the other by in

contiguity and of free interchange between
individuals of different regions aud different
institutions, to neutralize hostility, to extin
guish or essentially mollify prejudice, and to
enkindle sympathy, good will, and finally
friendship, was pithily illustrated by the
Welch itinerant preacher : 'Walking abioad,'
says he, 'one iogy morning. I saw in tho

distance all the North are Abolitionists, and
all the South are slave-driving fire eafars
but when they come closer together they find
each other to be men of similar views and
principles and brethren of like sympathies."
