The Difference.
There seems to be a vast amount of differ
ence, at present, between the rights which
belong to Republican newspapers on. the
one hand, and Democratic newspapers on
the other. Oar Republican contemporaries
can. as in the good old days, publish just
what they please. They can with impunity
assail the National administration and call
upon every man con nected with it, from
Abraham Lincoln down to the scullion in
the White House, to resign But let a Dem
ocratic editor dare to do this, let him in the
mildest possible manner comment unfavora
bly on the general policy pursued by Mr.
Lincoln and his cabinet, and conde ran in an
equally mild manner, any of their acts, and
he is instantly denounced as a secessionist,
his office is in great danger of bing assailed
and rid out by abolition mobs ; or as has oc
curred in some instances, an order is issued
for the supreasion of his paper, by the pow
ers that be at Washington. It is not enough
that he proclaims his devotion and love for
the Union and the Constitution, that he con
demns the secession movement, and in the
Etrongest language he can command, calls up
on the people to be a unit in sustaining the
Government in itj effcit3 to put down the
Southern rebellion. Unless he will go furth
er than this unless he will crouch and cring
like a base and cowardly slave at the foot
stool of power unless he will consent to be
come the lick spittle of the Na tional Admin
istration, by endorsing all its corruption s and
all its unconstitutional acts, he is told that
the pains, penalties and forfeitures of the law
await him, while as we have already said,
Republican newspapers every day and every
wAk assail the admininistration with impu
nity. Now where we ask is the equity and
justice of all this. If it is treasonable for
a Democratic paper to oppose and denounce
the policy, or certain acts and measures of
the President or his cabinet, is it not equally
treasonable for a Republican newspaper to do
60 ? if Democratic papers for doing so are
mobbed and " rid out," or suppressed by the
Government, does not even handed justice, de
mand" that Republican papers equally guilty
fchall be dealt with, with equal severity?
Why this distinction between the organs of
the two parties ? We have heard it said that,
" wLat is one man's meat 13 another man's
poison," but we think no honest or candid
man will contend, that what is treason in a
Democrat is patriotism in a Republican that
the liberty of the press should be allowed to
the Republicans and denied to the Democracy.
We do not believe Mr Lincoln and his cabi
net, or their most ardent supporters, are ready
to promulgate and advocate such a monstrous
and anti republican doctrine as this.
The fiercest assailants of the National and
State Administrations since the commence
ment of this war. have been Republican
newspapers. Did not the New York Tribune
edited by that cowardly fanatic, Horace Gree
ly, assail Lincoln and his Cabinet, and call
on them to resign? Did it not question the
loyalty of the old veteran. General Scott, and
call upon him to resign? Did it not raise the
cry of "Forward to Richmond" and did not
every broad-mouthed abolitionist in the land
join in the cry? Did not that cry compel
General Scott to order a battle when he was
not prepared for it, and did not the battle
tv'us forced by Greely fc Co., result in a dia
pacefui defeat of our arm? We know the
facts, and we know that there is no man liv
ing, who dare answer these interrogotaries,
save in the affirmative. Then why is there
uo talk about mobbing or suppressing tbe
Tribune? No, nothing like that must be at
tempted. If it were a Democratic printing
office, it would be right to "rid it out"' by a
mob, or 6uppress it by authority of law, but
it is the leading and most influential Repub
lican sheet in the land, and we must therefore
let it alone!
We have now before us a copy of the New
York Times, which contains an article high
ly abusive of Simon Cameron the Secretary
of War. calling on President Lincoln to com
pel him to resign, and to appoint Holt of
Kentucky in his stead. Is this not asaailing
the Administration, and attacking it in its
most vital part? And yet we hear no talk
about suppressing the New York Timet. It
is a Republican sheet and may say what it
pleases. But if a Democratic newspaper at
tempts to do so, it must be immediately "rid
out" by a mob or suppressed by the Govern
ment. What a glorious thing it must be to
be the editor of a Republican newspaper just
now. How independent Republican editors
muot fee!. .But never miud there's a good
time coming boys, therefore we democratic
editors have concluded to wait a little longer.
We wont give up the ship for the present at
least.
The Iufautlclde Case.
The case of the Commonwealth vs. Ann
Hartzell, Indictment for murder, was called
called in the court of Oyer and Terminer of
this county on last Wednesday afternoon.
This is the White township Infanticide case,
an account of which, our readers will re
collect, we published shortly after it occurred.
We intended at the commencement of the
trial, publishing the testimony in the case in
full, but in consequence of the indelicate
nature of a portion of it, we have concluded
not to do so. The prisoner having been ar-
rainged pleaded ' not guilty." She is an
unmarried girl of about 16 years of age.
While there is nothing in her deportment
which indicates intelligence and refinement,
her countenance would lead a stranger to be
lieve that she is both modest and kinu-bear-ted
one of that weak minded portion of the
female sex who are but too ready,
"To stoop to folly,
And find too late that men betray."
but not one who "to hide her pbame from
every eye" would murder her offispriog.
After the arraignment a jury was called. A
number were challenged premptorily and for
cause. Ibe following Jury was anally em
panelled, each juror having been sworn to
"well and truly try the issue joined between
the Commonwealth and the prisoner at the
bar, and a true deliverance make according
to the evidence," before taking hi seat. Ja
cob Fie, Jr., Michael Driskell, Adam Ma
kin, Charles Flick, John Itel, John Freder
ick, Jr., Patrick McCormick. Daniel Chiste,
Andrew Strittmatter, Joseph A. Parish,
Peter Garruanand Charles J. Owens. Mr.
Owens was called and empanelled as a tales
man, the regular panel having been exhaus
ted. A juror accepted by thj defendant and
directed to be sworn, was challenged prem
torily by the District Attorney. The Defen
dant's counsel objected. They contended
that the section of the revised Peual Code,
which authorizes tbe Commonwealth to do
this, in ciiminal cases, is unconstitutional.
The Court sustained the District Attorney,
and sealed a bill of exceptions, thus giving
the defendant an opportunity to test the mat
ter in the Supreme Court.
The evideuce disclosed a very remarkable,
and at the same time a very revolting case.
It seems that the mother of the defendant is
dead, and that her father is among the vilest
and most abandoned of mankind, that the
never knew a parents care, or felt the holy
endearments of a virtuous home. Since she
has been old enough to work for her support
she has been "living out" among the neigh
bors of White township, and all the witnes
ses examined were unanimous in testifying
to the fact, of her always having been re
garded as a "good girl." Sometime last
February she came to liva with a man named
Smith, whose wife was ill, and remained
there until the fourth of March. On the
evening of that day she attended a religious
meeting in the neighborhood. While there,
she became ill and a youcg man in compli
ance with her request, accompanied her home
to Smith's. On entering the house she told
Mrs. Smith that she was ill, who aroso from
her bed and gave her some medicine. Mrs.
Smith then went again to bed. The defen
dant then went out of the Louse, and re
mained there a considerable time. On re
turning she told Mrs Smith that she had
been sitting on the door step and felt much
better, and went to bed. Shortly after this
Mr. Smith who had also been at the church
returned home. A few moments after he
entered the house, a young man who passed
that way in going to bis borne from the meet
ing, kuockei at the door, and asked for a
light. Mr. Smith went out and the young
man who was accompanied by several other
person?, on their way home, told him that they
bad heard a child crying. Tbe cry was
beard in tbe direction of the pig pen. The
party went down to that building, and Mr.
Smith after two or three efforts, succe eded
in dragging from under it, a living male
child. He took it to the house Two women
in the neighborhood were sent for. and on
their arrival it wan dressed.
It was then shown to the prisoner, who
acknowledgcd that she was the mother of
the child. Sbe Paid she Old cot know
what the was doirjg when she concealed
it. About niue hours after it was dis
covered, it died. An inquest was held
and Dr. Jeflrys, who was one of the jurors,
testified that the forehead of the dead infant.
bore the marks of two severe blows. The
back part of the head was entirely crushed
in ,, feeling"' in thewords of the witness, "like
a sack of bones." Its back was also broken
He stated that he was not what u termed
a regular physician that is the graduate of
a Medical College From the evidedce we
are confident that the unnatural mother had
taken the infant by the leg?, acd dashed its
head against the wall of the pig pen. No
post mortew examination was made. Dr. R.
S. Bunn called by the defence, testified that
the external evidence of mjuries, as testified
to by Dr. Jeffries, were sufficent to raise a
strong, if not violent presumption that they
caused the death of the child, but added very
properly as we think, that if present, he would
regard it as his duty, to hold a post mortem
examination, in order to enable him to testify
with confidence. Physic.ans who understand
their profession always do this.
The prisoner was defended by Messrs
Johns-ton, Oatman and Reed, From the
circumstances surrounding the unhappy girl,
we are certain this was an act of humanity
on their part. She stood before the Court
and jury without a single realative to sympa
thise, pity or care for her. The argument cf
Mr. Johnston in her defence was sometimes
logical, but all the time eloquent and ingen
ious, and from the verdict we entertain but
little doubt, wielded a powerful influence over
the jury rescuing tbe prisoner from a con
viction of murder in the first degtee. The
argument of Mr. Reed proved him to be not
only a well read lawyer but an eloquent ad
vocate, while the speech of Mr. Oat man, as
a maiden effort, was quite creditable to him.
To those who have heard Messrs Noon and
Kopelin address a jury, it is unnecessary for
us to say that that their addresses in this case
on behalf of the Commonwealth, were, elo
quent, logical, and under the facts of the
case, unanswerable. Judge Taylorcomnieu
ced charging the jury at about half past nine'
of Friday night. His charge was a lucid ex
position of the law, which applied to the case,
and an impartial recapitulation of the testi
mony. He concluded with seme appropriate
observations with regard to the solcmu nat
ure of the duty which devolved on the jury,
He told them, that they bad nothing -v to do
with consequences if the punishment annexed
by the law, to the cri.-ne of murder was too
severe, the fault was not theirs. Courts and
juries were the ministers, and not the auth
thors of the law. If they believed the prison
er to be innocent of the crime with which she
was charged, or entertained a reasonable
doubt of her guilt, it was their duty to acquit
her if on the other hand, they believed Ler
to be guilty, it was their duty to find her so,
without regard to consequncta. The case wan
one which demanded their careful and dispass
ionate consideration. To the prisoner at tbebar
to the public, and to the cause of public jus
tice, it was one of very great impirtance.
While it asuot liht that' the innocent should
suffer, neither was it right, that the guilty
should go nnwhipped of juetice. The jury
then retired and the next (Saturday)morning
about 8 o'clock, brought the verdict of guilty
of murder in Vie second degree. The prison
er has not yet been sentenced.
We Wonder.
We wonder wherein Abraham Kopelin, Esq.,
Mr. James D. Hamilton, and the other gen
tlemen who compose the Republican ticket
have offended Mr. Daniel J. Morrcll, owner
of the Cambria Iron Works. He has been
making himself very busy, recently, trying
to get up a new ticket for the reason we
presume, that he don't like the one nomina
ted by the Republican Convention, He wants
o get a Union Ticket " Are not Kopelin,
and Hamilton Union men. If they are not,
Pershing and Buck are therefore, Mr. Mor
rell, you can ease your patriotic conscience,
by voting for them. We dou't think you
would materially injure your prospects of be
ing elected to Congress next fall, by so do
ing. As Geo. S. King, Esq., of Johnstown re
marked on last Monday, it is uow too late ia
the campaign, to talk about nominating a
Uuim Ticket. ' Bth parties in the Coun
ty, have held Conventions and nominated
tickets. The Democracy are pleased with
their ticket, and intend to elect it. It is
composed of staunch Union men, and pure
patriots. It is emphatically a Union Ticket
therefore. Mr. Morrell, we advise you to
support it. It is true you ain't very smart,
but then you are a rich man. and as money
is everything now a -days, wo would like to
have you on our side.
CODr. Leland's Anti Rheuaatio Band is

tention of our readers to the advisement in
another oolumu of our paper, of the Anti
Rheumatic Band.

LETTER FROM CAMP TiNALLY.
Camp Tiwally. Sep. 0 iSStjl.
Friend Murray. Since writing my last
letter nothing worthy of particular notice baa
occurred in camp, Monday last, the 11th
Reg. P. It. C. . was ag iin out on picket
guard. Whilst our, we captured a Ptnall
drove of cattle with the drivers It is sup
posed the men were seccsiou spies, and had
the cattle along for a pretext to get inside of
the Hues of the Federal anuy. Both cattle
and men were sent to Washington city. We
came in from Picket late in the evening, and
immediately received orders to prepare to
march. Two days rations were immediately
drawn from the commissary and each man
received his allowance. The report was
that Gen. McClellan. had .telegraphed to Gen.
McCall that the eneotjk opposite the Chain
Bridge were baiqgltfourjr'. reinforced, and
that in all probably they would make an at
tack inside of 48 hours. - At raidnight we
were called out - and the company formed.
After receiving instructions to lie down with
our arms acd accoutrements near us. we were
ordered to out quarters with the expectation
of being called out again before morning, but
were not" Onr orders on WednesJay were
the same as those for the evening before, to
be ready to march at a moments notice.
Weduesday evening we went to sleep with
the expectation of being called out during
the night, but in this we were again disap

long roll nor the command hurriedly to fall

on a fortification situated about htlf a mile
from our encampment, called Fort M'Call.
The work on this Fort ia nearly completed,
and when finished will be very fo-inilabk, if
the rebels attack this side of the cnpitol. Af

in. The commissary department of the
Kegimcot is also much tetter arranged at
present than it was at the camps we were
heretofore located in. Our rations still con
tinue to be of the most substantial kind; viz,
soft and hard bread, beef, pork, beaus, rice

cooked makes an excellent dish for a soldier
Potatoes and molasses have also been added
to our rations. If our arrangements for
cooking what we receive were as good as the
quality of the articles received, no one could
fare better either in or out of the service of
Uncle Sam.
News of the great victory at Fort Hatter
as Aug 20 was received here immediately
after the arrival of Gen. IJutler and Commo
dore Sringhatn ia Washiuglou. The news
of this victory cieated an unusual amount cf
rejoic:ng among the boys in this Regiment.
A few more such victories will inspire the
Federal forces with far more spirit and self
confidence than they lost at Hulls Run. As
we have orders to march at a moments warn
ing, it is probable that we will yet seo some
very active service. The Federal forces at
this point receive additional reinforcements
almost daily. If the rebels dare to attack us
in the neighborhood of the Chain Bridge, we
will be well prepared to meet them. II
yWe would render ourselves liable to
the charge of being the most ungrateful of
maukiod, did we fail in returning thanks to
tbe frieuds who have exteuded their patron

bcrs have beou added to our subsurip:iou list.
To us the most gratifying feature of the mat
ter is, that many of them are ultra Repub
licans; men who voted for Abraham Lincoln,
and would do so again. They do not set us
down as Secessionists, merely because we are
Democrats, but respect us because we up
hold that whioh we believe to be right, and
are willing that we shall be heard for our
cause. To both the Editor and publisher of
this paper, this manifestation of public con
fidence is indeed gratifying. They are labor
ing in their position not merely to command
success, but to do more, deserve it. We are
determined to stand by the right, and if sus
tained we shall be very glad, if not we shall
of course be very sorry; but at all events we
will uphold the time honored principles of
the Democratic party, and if they are to be
crushed out and ignored, wc are willing to
be crushed out and ignored with them; bat
while we continue, to edit this paper, no
threat shall intimidate, and no power shall
overawe us, in tbo discharge of our duties.
