vrtd. The Philadelphia 'ret. not long iiiiee remarked : Another principle must certainly be em , bodied in our reorganized form of govern ment. The mm who nhape the legislation of thU country when the war in past, must reraerober that what we want is power and strength. The problem will be to comlnne the formsof Republican Government with the powers of a Monarchial Government. About the same time, as if by concert, we find in the Xorth American: This war has already shown the absurdity of a Government trith limited powers ; it has shown that the power of every Government ought to be and must unlimited. Such doctrines as these would have met with rebuke even at the hands of the elder Adams ; but they were the natural pre cursors of the ' war power" which has been made to override the most explicit doctrines of the Constitution. The very wrong, in fact, complained of by our fathers , and enumerated in their declara tion against the English monarch, have been revived upon their sons. This Ad ministration has wilfully violated its own oath-bound pledges, and sought "pratexis of tnnorfiticni upon the established principles of the Government;" it has losterea a "spirit of encroachment which tends to con solidate all the departments of the Govern ment in one, and thus create, whatever the forms may be, a real despotism." It has rendered 44 the military superior to the civil poioer. It has superseded in a reign of lawless force the security prescribed by law against seizure and imprisonment without due process of law." It has erily created a multitude of new offices, and 4tnt among us swarms of officers to harass ortr people and eat out their sub stance." By an iniquitous Conscription law, it has distributed its agents among the people, backed by bayonets and cloth ed with discretionary powers over the liberties, if not the lives of our citizens. It has " qurrtered large armies of troops amongst us." It has 44 imposed taxes on us tcithout our consent." Finally, its chosen and purchased advocates are now clamor ous for a stronger Government, that 44 our charters may be taken away, our most valu able laws abolished, and the powers of our Government altered fundamentally." These we submit, fellow-citizens, are all of them features fairly exhibited, of that 44 stronger Government," which our forefathers, ap pealing "to the Supreme Judge of the world," eighty years ago, pledged their lives, their fortunes and their sacred honor " to put aside forever. We have before epoken, fellow-citizens, of the depressed condition of the country. The mountain of debt which has been piled up so recklessly, cannot be less than three thousand millions of dollars, when all is fairly counted. Of this Pennsylva nia's share will be at least one tenth of the whole, or $300,000,000. The an nual interest upon this sum (more easily atimatcil than paid) will be about eigh teen millions of dollars. This, added to the annual interest of our former debt, makes an aggregate of interest now, and Jincf forth, to be borne by the people of this Commonwealth, stated in round num hers, of twenty millions of dollars ! We cannot heighten this picture of the stern reality, which an inexorable arithmetical calculation gives. Some make even a deeper debt and a darker prospect of the future. Taxation always falls heaviest upon labor ; it will now grind the poor to the very earth. And yet the mock phiran thropists of the day are increasing this taxation, and urging on a system of mea sures, which, under the pretense of amc- j liorating the condition of the African, will, if carried on much longer, practical ly enslave the laboring white man and starve his family. And besides, thi, if tho forcible alxjlition of bondage at the South shou d succeed, it will only be to bring the wh ite working men nnd women of the North into competition in the same paths of labor with the Af.ican they hae been taxed and beggared to bring here and support among us ! The favored capitalist, who has money to lend to the Administration, gets his onds, upon which there is no taxation ; and thus is increased tho burdens of the laboring and middle classes, lint we for bear to pursue this melancholy train of facts and reasoning, and turn to the more grateful consideration of how we can do something for the correction of these evils. It must be plain, fellow-citizen, the only hope that conservative men can have of saving the country from imjending ' annrcby and ultimate ruin, is by uniting with the Democratic party the only party now left that is truly national in its character and conservative in its aims ; the only party in the country that has ever been able to govern it, for any length of time, to the satisfaction of the of the people at large. This party has now presented for the Presidency, nnd Vice Presidency, two men of the most unspotted lives and un blemished reputations every way unas aailed and unassailable, except by the corrupt and mercenary creatures in the pay and promise of the existing Adminis tration. In regard to George R. M'Clei.i.an, we shall not pause here to write his his tory. That is already engraved on the hearts and consciences of a grateful peo ple. We feel confident, also, that his admitted ability, integrity nnd indepen dence, the manly firmness he has always xhibited, and especially, and above all, hi haroic devotion in the darkest hours m the true principles of the Constitution, will draw around him now, the nation's confidence. This confidence, reposed in such hands, would never be betrayed. He stands at the present, as be has always stood, wholly aloof from intrigue. He is allied by no ties ot contracts wun mercenary adventurers in political life. He seeks not the office for which he has been named ; but has all along held "the noiseless tenor of his way way," free from the embarrassments which trammel the active and ambitious candidate for office, Even if defeat should fall to his lot in this contest, (which we cannot believe,) he will be consoled with the consciousness of having implored no man's aid ; pledged in advance, no places that would be in his gift, if elected ; and that those who had espoused his cause even from the begin ning, acted from sympathy with a brave, persecuted, and patriotic man ; acted from principle and love of country, seek ing no reward or future favors. No one who has been named for the Presidency desires it less ; no one certainly, has courted it leps, and this is an additional reason why he should be, and will be pre ferred by the thoughtful and the upright. Tho varnished reports of rivals in com mand ; the suppressed and distorted facts of a partisan committee cf Congress ; the constant jealousy and malignant opposition at every step of those who feared h"i9 suc cess and dreaded his popularity, have all failed in blasting his military reputation. Intelligent men everywhere, in every land, have read the libels upon this ac complished soldier, only with a sickening sense of their injustice and venality. In this country, they have penetrated the hearts of our soldiery and the people at large, only to kindle there a broader and brighter flame of devotion to their victim ; and the world, ere long, will witness with with approbation, the reward which they will mete out to a national benefactor. The eminent statesman who has been nominated for the second place on our ticket, has long been conspicuous in the legislative branch of the Government. Remembering his years, few men in our country have ever reached a hiigher po sition in the respect and confidence of the public. No man in the present Congress possesses to a greater extent those gifts of oratory and accomplishments and states manship, that amply justify the wide pop ularity and esteem with which he is every where regarded in the section of the Union that gave him birth. He, like our Presi dential candidate, emphatically belongs to the Yorso mem of this country. These nominations are essentially theik nomina tions. The fact of youth should give a deeper interest, if possible, to this class, in the struggle now at hand. The whole of active life is before them, with all its pursuits, hones and enjoyment. Let a them weigh well recent and passing events and mark the rapid coiling of despotic power ; let them resolutely see to it, that the wise and beneficent institutions of the pure men of former times become their own surehentage,and that of their children. Finally, fellow-citizens of Pennsylva nia, of all classes nnd conditions, it is in your power to dissolve the clouds which now threaten to overwhelm all our bright est hopes, and bring upon our country a long night of storm and darkness. Against the usurpations and evils, which we are conscious of having btit too imperfectly depicted, let us array ourselves in com bined strength. The election of our con gressional, legislative and County tickets in October is of the highest importance, if we would succeed in the Presidential contest in November. Ruceess Jierc will inspirit the Concervativc men of other States. It is the dity of the Pennsylva nia Democracy, and those who unite with us, to CAnitT this election', if we would not bring on prematurely, that which is sure to follow in the end, if fi- ! nally we fail in November " The despair which welcomes dciywhsiii, or Vie rage which welcomes anarchy." Let our watchwords be War (if we must have it) for the true, legitimate ob jects of such a war, and nosh other ; for peace the first moment that peace can restore to us the common heritage of a united country ; for the imperishable glory of the old Union and the Constitu tion unimpaired ; with sympathy for our soldiers in the field under their trials and dangers ready ever to aid and to honor them which cannot possibly be better done, than, in giving our best efforts in endeavoring to so modify the grounds of the struggle they are maintaining, as that it shall appear purely just before men, and in the sight of God ! We implore, then, all who love peace I and order ; all who wish to see industry successful and property secure ; all who are willihg to support wise legislation, public virtue, and constitutional liberty ; all who wish to lead prosperous lives themselves, and enjoy in quiet the fruits of their own industry ; all who wish to transmit their property and the blessings of free institutions to their children, we implore all these to unite with us. We go for the country the whole country for Union, Liberty and Law. If a majority of the people will thus be true to themselves, we may hope soon to see our country resuming with renewed vigor her glorious career frre, prosperous akd happy the pride of her own citizens, and the admiration of the world !

Such a victory as will make it easy for us with M'Clellan in Novemler. Wc had an unscrupulous crowd to contend against, with their jackets filled with money wrung from the people. They used it wherever they thonght it would count. Our County has done nobly, she has kept up her reputation for Democracy as well as ever. You will sec hy the official return that there is nothing to be ashamed of in our little County. Mr. Johnston made a fine run in the district. lie pulled down the Republican majorities in lilair, and Huntingdon almost beyond expectation His majori ty in the whole district is even 200, making 15 or 10 hundred of a chinge from last years vote. He has a right to be proud of the manner in which he was sustained. He has shown that he is un mistakeably the choice of the district. With such men as he, and Bigler, and Dawson in Congress, the country would have some reason for hope. Our County ticket was also an excellent one, as is manifest from their lame vote. The Convention that nominated them were unusually careful and harmonious in their deliberations, and they did their work well. We must not relax our efforts now, the crowning work is to be done in November, by the election of Little Mac. He will carry the State by about fifty thousand, and we can give him one and a half of that number in our County to start on. Thi can be easily done. 1 riere is many upright and honest men in the Republican ranks who will vote quietly for M'Clellan, because they know that Lincoln has been a failure, unfit to carry on a war and unfit to make a peace. They know the ruin and degradation that would await their country under another four years reign of Abraham Lincoln. Congress, o Assembly o DISTRICTS. Allegheny Township.

We have been traveling through part of our County along the Pennsylvania railroad for some few days of last week, cratic vote by any chicanery.

The people have nearly gave all their right up to Abe's government, but they have some notion not to give up the elective franchise yet a while. So far as we have seen the sol diers, personally they are gentlemen, but they are entirely under the control of an officer, and if he is a hound his company are generally all hounds, but if he is a gentleman it has a good effect upon the men. There was a fracas on last Friday night (the 7th) in Wilmore, with a soldier and a citizen by the name of Piper. It ap pears this soldier went to see some girl who was in the habit of visiting Piper's. Piper told him he was not satisfied for him to come there for that purpose, and would thank him to leave ; he would not leave until he choose, insisting that the other man could not put him out Piper said he would try, and knocked him down and kicked him, and put him and one of his eyes both out. Piper then left his house and bid himself. The soldier got reinforced and they made several charges at the house of Piper, but he was not there, so they retired in good order. There are squads of Boldiers now sent to all the heavy Democratic districts of the County. It requires no prophet to tell the reason why they are sent at the election day, it is with the ostensible pur- of tho community for the manner in which the work was done Reing good judges of work themselves, they would employ none but good workmen. Had the Court House been much longer neg lected a new one would have to be built, whereas it is now good for 2o years. People were ashamed to point out the Court House to strangers heretofore, it looked so shabbily. To Correspondents, We were sorry that we did not receive the letter of our correspondent from Johnstown, until we had our paper pressed off week before last, and the news is too old for this week. We received a fine campaign song from our correspondent 44 Northwest," but as it could not be well sung without taking a drink at the end of every verse, we think it best to keep it till the duty is taken oft the liquor. Mr. E. T. Devlis, of the house of Wm. Carr & Co., 327 liberty street, Pittsburg, gave us a call in our office on Friday last, he is an elegant fellow, and their house is among the best in Pittsburg. Let our Cambria county friends call with them when they go to purchase in the smoky city. C" Last week we issued only a slip giving the news so far as we had.
