They were hurried off as rapidly as possible to get them out of the way of our advancing force, and in cro-sing a rapid and deep stnam, Lieut.

The IXerRs County 31 as Meeting! 10,000 Dl:moci:ats in council! The invincible Democracy of Old Berks held one of the largest mass meet ings, on Ihe 21st of April, that ever con vened in that good old citadel of Demo cracy. It was an immense gathering of the staunch yeomanry of the county. At least 10,000 persons were iu attendance annd their determination to oppose every unlawful aggression upon their rights from everv quarter, was disecrnable in every countenance ; defiance to usurpers and tyrants flashed from every eyr. They spoke in language that needs no interpre tation. The meeting was organized by the selection of Hon. S. E. Ancona, as President, and one Vice President from each township, borough and ward, and eight Secretaries. A series of spirited resolutions were passed, from which we extract the fol lowing : Jlesoli-eiJ That we are equally hostile to Abolitionists North and Secessionists SouthJ We regard both alike as tending to the same result : one is the openly avowed advocate of a separate confedera cy ; the other the advocate of principles which must inevitably end there. 2d. That we regard the emancipation proclamation, the conscript law, and the confiscation acU aa clearly unconBtitution- DISTRIBUTED ALIKE, UPJ.V THE HIV al ; but while we pledge our united efforts to lest them in all legal modes within our reach, we will not infringe upon or violate any law, whatever may be our present opinions, until it is -pronounced by the proper judicial authorities to be null and void. It is better to bear many grievan ces of a temporary character, than to plunge our country into anarchy, ending in military despotism, and destroying all our hopes for the future, 3iL That resistance by force to an in vasion of our personal freedom is a virtue ; and if the insane threat of a distinguished military chieftain, (distinguished more for the petition he holds, than for achieve ment in arms) to but his heel upon the necks of Northern men, be attempted to be carried out, we promise him a warm reception. In order to tJlay any undue excitement however, that might be occa sioned by this threat, we deem it proper to add, that ;;s this same authority has informed us that we are not to be molest ed until the rebels are first subdued, we are of opinion, judging by past progress, that the present generation at the North can hardly feel themselves interested in the question. 4 th. That we iveonimend open organi zations in every township, ward and bor ough of our county, in order to sustain the Constitution, the Union and the lawe, and at the same time resist every en croachment upon our personal rights and freedom, guaranteed by that instrument and those laws. oth. That wc are inftexably and unal terably devoted to the Constitution and the Union, with such additional guaran tees as may protect the rights of minori ties fivm all future aggression. We do not approt p of this war as at present con ducted. We never did of il in itself, but accepted it in preference to disunion, an archy and despotism, under pledges that it should be conducted solely with a view to the restoration of the Union. These pledges have been broken, the war is con verts! into an Abolition crusade, and we are free from any obligations, except those of obedience to law. Oth. That we will patiently wait the progress of events, until power passes front the hands of the present administra tion under the forms of law. We will continue to urge upon Congress and upon the States the repeal of all unconstitution al acts, and the calling of a National Con vention to amend the sovoreign rights of the State of Pennsylvania, and in order that she may be prt pared to exercise those rights, we urge upon our fellow citizens the necessity of organization, the selection and election of o;ir ablest and best men, for Governor and Legislators ; and in the meantime we have no terms of peace to ofirlr to any quarter, except ujKitt tlie basis of re-union. The meeting wai ably addressed in the spirit of these resolutions, by W. Uo'sen tal, Keq., Hon. J. Glancy Jones, Hon. Hei.itcr Clymcr and dames B. Bechtel, Esq., and tii.-u adjourned.

Our Paris correspondent, writing under date of April the 24 th, sends us informa tion of very grave importance. From 1 sources of the highest authority, ho had I learnd that the Freixh Government ! was profoundly irritated at the singular j proceeding of our Minister t London, , Mr. Adams, in furnishing to certain Eng- ! li.-h shipowners a certificate to enable j their verse's bound to Matamoras, to pass i without molestation our blockading squad- i roiiu the Gulf of Mexico. The iuterpie- 1 tatiou placed by the Imperial Government j upon the passport to Messrs. Howell & j Zirman, given by Mx. Adams on the Oth i of April, was that of an official agent of; the United States, assured that there was ' no intention to run the Southern blockade, I had no objection of smoothing tlie way i for an introduction of a cargo of arms into Mexico It can scarcely be believed, in1 this country, that such was in fact the purpose of Mr. Adatus ; but, unhappily, the terms in which the certificates in ques tion is couched, fully bear that construc tion, i Mesrs. Howell & Zirman," writes Mr. Ailams, "have furnished me with evidence that they are really bound to Matamoras, with a cargo intended for the Mexicans. I therefore very -cheerfully give them this certificate, at their request. It is not the disjiosition of tho Govern ment of the United States to interfere in any way with an honest neutral trade," &c , 5Lc . After mentioning the fact to which the Emperor's . Government had taken ex ception, our correspondent continue as follows : ' '.. 11 AND THE LOW, THE RICH AND " I have had an interview with a gen tleman who speaks by authority, and have learned from him that it is the pur pose of the French Government to de mand from Mr. Seward an immediate ex planation, and a disavowal of the offen sive passport issued by Mr. Adams. Within the present week, the Emperor's Minister oi Foreign Affairs had received from M. Mereier a dispatch giving the de tails of a conversation between the French Minister at Washington and Mr. Seward, in which the latter assured M. Mereier of the strong desire of the United States to maintain the most friendly re lations with France, and declared that they would preserve in all respects a rigid neutrality in the war between that Power and Mexico. These a-saf an cos had given the greatest satisfaction to the Emperor's Government, and the sensation caused by the apK'arance of Mr. Adams letter was consequently even more marked than it would have been had no such interview as that described by M. Mereier taken piace. Instructions are to be scat out to M. Mereier, in the course of the next few days. They will be unmistakable in their import. Our Government will be reminded that the attitude of France since the beginning of the civil war iu the United States, has been .of strict neu trality, and that she cannot be reproached with a single act of a character to irritate the North, or aid the rebellion directly or indirectly. She has not hitherto, pur suup a policy fim l-T o that of Great Britian ; and no member of the Empe - ror's Government has uttered one word which could be construed into unfriendli ness toward the United States, or express ion of any other sentiment than the hope of again seeing them united and prosper ous. But if the strange doctrine implied by Mr. Adams' letter of April Oth be sustained, and the American cruisers in the Gulf instructed to pass cargoes in tended for the Mexicans, then the French Government will regard the act as lend ing assistance to the enemies of France, and it is f ully resolved to retaliate ly aid in j the enaniea of the United States. o Mr. Tallnudlgbuni nt Hamilton. The Dayton Kmyire gives the following sketch of what Mr. Vallandigham said in his sjieech at Hamilton, on Gen. Carrinj ton's "order No. 15 :" I will not, said he sjicak disrespectfully of Col. Carrington. He and I served pleasantly together in the militta of Ohio on the peace establishment, (laughter,) and I found him always gentlemanly in his deportment. I am glad to learn that he is still so regarded at Indiana jnjlis. How could he have issued such an order? I knjw he is "great" on general orders' but such' a one passes my comprehension. I am sure he cannot want to wronp, for he mut know, that two years hence, uner the legislation of the late Congress, a Democratic President or Secretary of War- and who knows but that I may be Secretary myself? laughter and cheers ;) can strike his iiuiiie from the roll w,i;hout even a why or a w herelbre. It would be well for all ambitious military pentle-men just now to recollect this small fact, and confine themselves strictly to their legal and constitutional military duties, and to allow others to enjoy their opinions and civil rights unmolested. But to the order. I Ic-rc it is : IIkaikji aiitlj.-.s U. S. Forces, ) Indianapolis, lnd., March 17, ISfui. j". (ientTui Order Xo. 15, 1. "The habit of can-viiifi araii upon the person has greatly increased " , Well, so it has' and in times of threats and danger like these,, it cujiht to, and iu spite of all "orders," it will increase " And is predudicial to peace and good Sir, restore to us peace and good order, and we will lav aside all arms, ai d be glad of the chance. Great applause. "As well as a violation of civil law" I deny it ; but if so, who gave au thority to this gentleman to Let nr. on civil law in a "military order? " Esjiecially at this time, it is unneces sary, impolitic and dangerous." Was ever the li-e heard or read of be fore? "At this time" at a time whoa Democrats are threatened with violence everywhere, when mobs are happening every day and Democratic presses de stroyed ; when secret societies are being formed all over the country to stimulate to violeyce ; when at hotels and in depots and railroad cars, and on the street cor ners, Democrats are scowled at an mc nanced, a military order cooly announces that it is unneceseary, impolitic and dan gerous to carry arui9 1 And who signs this order? Henry B. Carrinton, Colonel 18th U. S. Infantry Commanding " THE POOR. VOL. 10-NO. 23. Commanding what ? The 18th U. S. In fantry, or at the most the United States forces of Indiana but not the people, tho tree white Americans citizens of Ameri can decent, not in the military service. That is the extent of his authority, and no more. And now, sir, I hold "in my hand a general order also -aa order binding on all military men and civilions alike on Colonels andG-enerais and Commanders-in-Chief State and Federal. (Applause.) Hear it : " The rijht of the people to keep arid hear arms &hail not be in f ringed. By order of the States and people of the United States. George Washington commanding. Great cheering. That,' sir, is General Order No. 1 the Consti tution of the United States. Loud cheers Who now is to be obeyed, Washington or Carrington ? - liut I have another " order yet . " Tha people have a right to bear arvu fir their defence and security, and the mil itary shall be in strict subordination to the civil" power." Renewed cheering. That, sir is General Order No. 2 tho Constitution of Ohio, by order of tha people of Ohio. Here, fir, are our war rants for keeping and bearing arms, and by the blessing of God, we mew to do it ! And if the men in power undertako in an evil hour to demand them from us, we will return the Spartan answer, " Come and take thetu." But Col. Carrington's order proceeds : i ne .siajor iencrai commanding tho 1 Department of Ohio'" Commanding whom, ogttin I ask ? Only the military forces of the Depart ment of the Ohio, but aot a sinple- citizen m i: " having ordered that all sales of arm, powder, lead and percussion caps bo pro hibited until further orders." Where, sir, is .the law for all that? Are we a conquered province governed by a military pro consul ? And to then it has come to this, that the Constitution is now suspended by a general order, No. 15 ! Sir, the constitutional right to keep and bear arms carrier with it the right to buy and sell arms ; and fir arms an useless without poweler lead and percus sion caps. It is our right to have them, aud wc mean to obey peueral orders Noa. 1 and 2 instead oi No. 15 (Loud ap plause.) But I read further : " and that any' violation of said order will be followed by the conjiacuiion of the goods sold and thj seizure of the stock of the vender." Is the man deranged? Confiscation in deed? "Why, sir the men who are clothed with a little brief aurhority, seem to think of nothing except taxation eman cipation, confiscation and every word end ing in t-i-o-n. Laughter- But general order No. 1 says "No man shall be deprived of property with out du process of lawr," and general order No. 2 says: "Private property shall c.er be held inviolote, and every person for an injury dcne him in his land, goods or person or reputation, shall have remedy by due course of law.". And though th writ of habeas corjtus may bo suspended, the writ of replevin, cannot be. Cries of " good good." But order No, 15 proceeds: " And said imler having been extended by the M;jor General to cover the entire department, is hereby promulgated." Yes, promulgated " for immediate ob servaiic-e throughout the State." Can military insolence go further i In this the way the military is to bo in strict subordination to the civil power? And does the Colonel commanding the Eigh teenth United States Infantry thus uuder take to " premulge " a general order sus pending or abrogating the Constitution of the United States and of Indiana? Are wc living in America or Austria? And now the fitting commentary on a!b his attempt to disarm the whiti- man w hile public arms are being put into tha hands of the negro, is in the second sec tion cf this geueral order No. 15, alluding, to the recent destruction of a Democratic, printing press by what the Colonel com manding the 18th U; S. Infantry, draw-, ing it mild alu-r the fashion of Sarah. Gamp calls u popul ar demonstration," ai.d sot one of the perpetrators of this outrage, although soldiers and under mil itary la w, ha e been punished, nor ever will be. Vet at just such a time of law less violence, it is proposed that the people shall de disarmed. Never. Loud cheers. Sir, I repeat now what I believe to b the true programme for these times. Try every question of law in your courts, and evory question of politics before the people and through the ballot box ; no re sistance, to law ; but meet and repel all mob violence by force, and arms ou tb spot. Great and continued chawing, J
