HESOLUTIOKTS
Of the Democratic State Convention, held at Ilarris
burg, July 4, 186*2.
Vnr.UEAS, The Amcr .zn Constitution was or
flaincd and established by . ur fathers, in order to
form a more -perfect Union, establish just tee, ensure
domestic tranquility, provide for the common defence,
promote the general icclfarc, and secure the blessings
oj liberty to posterity ; therefore,
Ist. RESOLVED, That the only object of the Dem
ocratic purty is the restoration of the Union as it
teas, the preservation of the Constitution as it is.
2d. RESOLVED, That to the end that the Union
be restored, and the Constitution and Lairs enforced
throughout its xchole extent , we pledge our hearty
and unqualified support to the Federal' Government
in the energetic prosecution of the existing war.
3d. RESOLVED, That the true and only object of
the tear is to restore the Union and enforce the laics.
Such a purpose alone is worthy tha awful sacrifice
which it costs us of life and of treasure; with such
a vurpose alone can we hopefor success And those
who from sectional feeling or party or private mo
tires would gire any other direction to the efforts of
our armies are unjust and unwonhy to be entrusted
icith power, and would cause all our exertions, ex
traordinary and unparalleled as they are, to prove
futiU in the end.
4th. RESOLVED, That we justly view with alarm
the reckiiss cvtiaragaiice which pervades soire of the
departments of the Federal Government, and that a
return to rigid economy and accountability is indis
pensable to arrest the systematic plunder of the pub
lic treasury by favored partisans, and that in view
of the recent startling developments of frauds and
corruptions at the Federal metropolis and through
<nil the country that uc hold an entire change of ad
ministration to be impcralirely demanded.
oth. RESOLVED, That the party fanaticism or
crime, whichever it may be called, that seeks to turn
the slaves of Southern States loose to overrun the
Xorth and enter into competition with the white la
boring masses, thus degrading and insulting their
manhood, by placing them on an equality with ne
groes in their occupation, is insulting to our race,
and merits our most emphatic and unqualified con
demnation.
6th. RESOLVED, That ire denounce Northern. Ab
olitionism and Southern Secession as the co-operat
ing sources of our present calamities—alike treason
able to the Constitution and inimicable to the Union.
The only way to a restored Union and a respected
Constitution with returning peace and prosperity
is through the orerthrow of both,
Ith. RESOLVED, That the Democracy of Pennsyl
rania is equally opposed to all sectional legislation
and. geographical parties, which base their hope for
continued partisan success on the agrarianism of
emancipation and hypercritical philanthropy—abo
.ition : because neither is known to the Constitution,
and both are intended to aid disunion and subvert
the Constitution, and to prercnt the restoration,
unity, peace and concord among stales and people.
Bth. RESOLVED, Th it the Constitution and the
taws are sufficient for any emergency, and that the
suppression of the freedom of speech and of the press,
and the unlawful arrest of citizens, and the suspen
sion of the writ of habeas corpus in violation of the
Constitution in States where the ciril authorities are
unimpeded, is must dangerous to ciril liberty, and
should be resisted at the ballot-box by every freeman
in the land.
9lh. RESOLVED, That this is a Government of
ichite men, and was established exclusively for the
white race; that the negro race are not entitled to
and ought not to be admitted to political or social
equality with the white race, but that it is our duty
to treat them with kindness and consideration, as an
inferior and dependent race; that the right of the
several States to determine the position and duties of
the race is a sovereign right, and the pledges of the
Constitution requires us, as loyal citizens, not to in
terfere therewith.
10/A. RESOLVED, That Congress has no power to
deprive any person of his property fur any criminal
offence, unless that person has been first duly convic
ted of the affence by the. verdict of a jury ; and that
all acts of Congress like those lately passed by the
House of Representatives, which assume to forfeit or
confiscate the estates of men for offences of which
they hare not been convicted upon due trial by jury,
are unconstitutional, and lead to oppression and ty
ranny. It is no justification for such arts that the
crimes committed in the prosecution of the rebellion
are of unexampled atrocity; nor is there any such
justification as State necessity known to our Govern
ment or laws.
IDh. RESOLVED, That the Constitution and Un
ion and the Laws must be preserved and maintained
in all their proper and rightful supremacy, and that
the rebellion note in arms against them must be sup
pressed and put down, and that it is our duty to use
all constitutional measures necessary and proper to
that end.
1 2th. RESOLVED, Thai the soldiers composing our
armies merit the warmest thanks of the nation.—
Their country called, and nobly did they respond
Living, they shall know a nation's gratitude; wound
ed, a nation's care, and dying, they shall live in our j
memories, and monuments shall be raised to leach
posterity to honor the patriots and heroes who offered
their lives at their country's aUar. Their widows
and orphans shall be adopted by the nation, to be
watched over, and cared for as the objects truly
worthy a nation's guardianship.
R E S O I, U T LO X S
Adopted at the late Democratic County Convention,
held at Tunkhannock.
I*l. RESOLVED, Thatwe unanimously endorse the
Resolutions of the Democratic State Convention held
at Harr isburg on the Ath of July last.
2 d RESOLVED, Hint the "unnecessary/ and injur
ious civil war," that is now desolating the country and
threatening the permanency of our government ceased
to be a political question from the time that Congress
refused to adopt any measures of honorable compro
mise of the difficulties that had grown out of North
ern and Southern sectionalism, and the consequent
commencement of hostilities in the bombardment of
Fort Sumter —that from that time there has been but
one proper mode of dealing icith the question, name-
Ly, by keeping it distinct and separate from politics,
to unite the whole North in the effort to bring the re
bellion to an end by force ; and this end, all conserva
tive men are called, upon to unite with us in a deter
mined effort to create a United North, by putting
down arid driring'lo the wallthat m isguided and mis
chievous faction. whose sole aim is to impair northern
unity of purpose, and paralyze northern effort, by
forever intrudixg the most unfortunate, fatal, and
disasterous of all political issues, (the issue of Negro
emancipation l upon the peoples counsels; by persist
ently striving to coerce the President into the adop
tion of a policy that must prove fatal to the Union by
seeking to impair public confidence in the integrity
of the Adm inist ration ; and by creating in the ranks
of our armies suspicion and distrust of the fidelity
and loyalty of their leaders.
3d>. RESOLVED, That the " suspension of political
parties until the close of the war," is only advocated
by the party in power, and because it. is in power—
mat the utter hollowness and hypocrisy of the advo
cates of this policy is shown by the fact that they are
scrupulously careful to keep up their own political
organization, and to keep all their political machinery
in full operation, as well as by the fact that in the
multitude of civil apjwintmente made and being
made under Republican authority, none but Repub
licans "of the straighlesl sect," or renegade Demo
oerals, are recognized.
4th. RESOLVED, That in all free governments there
have always been, and must of necessity be at least
two political parties —that the integrity, permanency,
and fidelity of sneh governments to constitutional au
thority, imperatively demand an opposition party—
that without such party, there would be no accounta
bility, and without accountability no government cm
bo trusted. "No Party," therefore, simply means
"let there be no opposition to the plundering of the
government by government officials and favored par
tisans " It means, " let the party in power remain
in power, without question as to the mode in which
power may be exercised." It means "no criticism of
the conduct of government officials, whatever disaster
or rnin may follow." It means "no discussion of
mensures of governmental policy." It means " silence,
acquiescence, or imprisonment."
sth. RESOLVED, That in sustaining the President
under the tremendous pressure to which he has been
subjected by the Radical wing, of his own party, the
Democratic party has afforded ample and conclusive
evidence of its desire to give all its strength to the
suppressson of the rebellion and the restoration of the
Union ; and that the responsibility for that absence of
unity of purpose in the North which is essential to
success, rests solely with that party whose whole aim
Ha# been to convert the war into a miserable crusade,
the domestic institutions of the Southern States.

The Issue Before the People.
The Republican party have heretofore con
cealed their real designs and principles, by
denying that they entertained any sympa
thy for the Abolitionists, and by these pro
fessions have imposed upon, and duped the
honest mas:es into their support. Flushed
with success at the two last elections, they
now make bold to declare their real object,
to wit: the abolition of slavery ; without
this, they say " the Union can never be re
stored. As the representatives of this prin
ciple, that party have placed in nomination
for the three most important offices, the
three firmest advocates of this infamous doc
trine. Landon, their candidate for congress
. ° )
has preached the dectrine of " no Union with
slave holders for years." " If," says he,
" the constitution recognizes slavery, tear it
into shreds, trample it under foot, and
trust to God for a belter one." lie, now,
openly and exultingly, boasts that lie is an
abolitionist, a radical—a follower of Fremont
and ITunter.
Jacob Kenedy, another abolition preacher
of the same stamp, a man who has howled?
bellowed and sniveled from the puipit, of ne
gro equality for years, is the candidate of
this party for the State Legislature. Win. J
Turrell, their candidate for senator, is also
an avowed abolitionist. In the face of these
facts, it will be difficult to longer hoodwink
'he people, by denying that the YVilinot
Landon, Kenedy and Turrel party, is any
other than an abolition party. A party as
false to the constitution as a Phillips or a
Garrison, whc declare it 11 a covenant with
death and a league with hell."
Secession and disunion, preached from the
pulpit, first sundered the church of the liv
ing God, and from that, has gone on in its
infernal work of until it has
divided the fairest, happiest, freest country
on God's footstool. Black hearted, white
livered sanctimonious traitors, have openly
declaimed against the Constitution formed by
the wisdom of our fathers, and viper like
have stuck their poisonous fangs into the Un
ion, cemented by their blood, until its poi
soned, embittered fragments are now engaged
with each other in a war of exterminatio
and ruin.
The issue is now fairly before the people. Thote
who are in favor of the emancipation of the
negro, whether the Union be saved or not
will vote for these men. Those who are in
favor of the Constitution as it is, the Un
ion as it was, and the nigger where he ought
to be, will vote against them.

PETER EXT, Chairman
Attest, V. E. PIOLETTE,
J. C. AMMEKMAN, )
£S-E.B. Chase, Ira Davenport, and
George B. Kulp, of Luzerne Co., who were
arrested a few days since, at WilkesUarre,
upon the information of some infamous sneak
ing scoundrel, who dare not disclose his
name, were, at last accounts, in th 3 custody
of the sheriff of that County. The charge
against them, is said to be the " discouraging
of enlistments," though nothing of the kind
has been proved. Mr. Chase lias published
the statements and affidavits of Judge Con
yngham, Stanley Woodward, judge Reich
ard, C. C. Plotts, Capt. Mayer, Angelo Jack
son, and others which entirely exculpates
him from the charges made against him. It
is reported that some forty others in that
county, among them Charles Denison, the
Democratic candidate fur Congress have
been put down by some sneaking informers
for arrest. They will find that thin game of
intimidating democrats by imprisonment, or
threats of it, will not accomplish the object
intended, but will, in the end, recoil upon
their own guilty heads.
The Rebellion in Bradford.
The people of Bradford County have so
long submitted to the dictation of Dave Wil
mot, that the news of a rebellion against this
despot, at first, scetned to ws almost incred
ible. King David with his High Priest Lan
don, have, for the past two or three years,
carried their infamous plots of plunder, and
schemes of negro emancipation and negro
equality to such lengths, as to outrage every
sense of decency and propriety, and have in
sultingly set at defiance the wishes of every
conservative, honest man in their district.
An attempt by this tyrant, to force the
abolition Preacher, George Landon of " Ton
nage tax swindle" notoriety, upon the peo
ple of this district as a candidate for Con
gress, has resulted in an open outbreak,
aud "secession.'' A mass meeting upon
a call, signed by m >re than live hun
dred of the outraged tax payersofthat Coun
ty, assembled at Towanda, aijd formed an
entire new ticket, headed by Henry W. Tra
cy of Standing Stone, for Congress. Mr.
Tracy is an old iine whig of the conservative
school, and as a representative from Brad
ford County,during the session when the re
publican parly, with Landon at its head, sold
itself to the schemers of those soulless corpo
pations, the " Penna. Central," and " Sunbu
ry ar.d Erie" Rail Roads, stood almost the
solitary representative of that party in the
House, and denounced their votes as mon
strous, corrupt, and as outrages upon the
rights of the commonwealth. Ho charged
that party, (which then had a majority of
nearly two thirds in both houses,) with be
ing responsible for these iniquities, and warn
ed them of the indignation of an outraged
constituency. His appeals were in vain.—
. His words of hitter, burning invective, and
denunciation fell upon ears surfeited and cloy
ed with the clink of the almighty dollar, and
they heeded them not. Au annual iucome
of nearly four hundred thousand dollars, was
voted into the coffers of these giant corpora
tions, and George Landon, the in in by
whose vote, this outrage upon the tax payers
of the commonwealth was perpetrated, pock
ets the price of his infamy, and now asks the
people of this district to send him to Con
gress 1
When that party overstepping all bounds of
decency and respects for the rights of the
people districted the state in such a manner
as to disfranchise thousands of tax payers.—
Mr. Tracy again opposed the wrongs they
were about to inflict upon the people.
We have given this brief account of the re
bellion in Bradford, and hurried notice of the
leaders on either side ; that in the event that
no other candidates shall be placed in nomi
nation, our readers may choose between
them. There is at present but little hope
that a democrat can be elected ; indeed so
little, that no one wishes the nomination. A
Congressman will be elected. It may then
devolve upon the voters of this district to
choose between Landon and Tracy. For our
selves, we have no hesitation in saying, that
of the two, we should prefer an honest man,
to a rogue. While Mr. Tracy's votes upon
the question of abolition, have not met the
approval of democrats, he is, compared to
Wiknot and his pet, a conservatice man r and
if his votes are not cast with those of Edgar
Cowan, they will not, we confidentially be
hove, be found with those of Dave Wilmot,
Thad. Stephens, and Charles Sumner. He is
an upright,. conscientious, fearless man, and
as the only candidate against Landon, his un
' scrupulous, fanatical, and intiiguing oppo
nent, would receive the votes of all conserva
tive honest men.
The War News.
The events of the past week have been of
the mcst exciting and stirring character.—
Almost a continuous battle has been going on
since the invasion of Maryland, by the Rebel
Generals, Lee, and Jackson, until Friday
last; the result of which has been such, that
now, we are warranted in announcing that
they have been driven from that &tate, by
the brave McClellan and his gallant army.—
Battles in magnitude, but little inferior to
that at Waterloo, have been fought at Mid
dletown, Burkittsville, Sharpsburg, and An
tietam ; in all of which, the most determined
valor was exhibited on both sides ; the ene
my in each, however, were driven from tho
field with immense loss. The loss on our
side, in these several engagements, has been
variously estimated, at from ten to twenty
thousand, in killed and wounded. In the ab
sence of any official report, and with the con"
fused, and often controdictory accounts, it is
impossible to give anything like a connected
narative, of these important battles. Gen.
Mansfield is among the killed. Generals Sedg
wick, Ilartsuf, Richardson, and numerous
others were wounded.
Maryland Heights, which commanded Har
pers Ferry, fel 1 into the hands of the Rebels,
who beseiged it so closely as to oblige Col.
Miles the commandant at that point, to sur
render it, with 8000 'roops, and a large num
ber of cannon, small arms, amunition, and ar
my stores, in large quantities, fell into the
hands of the captors. The Heights are now
occupied by the Union forces.
The new 6 by the last nights mail, indicat
ed, that Louisville, Ivy., was beseiged by the
Rebel Gen. Bragg, and was in great danger
of being taken. Bragg had summoned Gen.
Nelson, who was in command of the city, to
surrender, which Gen. Nelson refused to do,
and ordered the women and children to be
ready to leave the city at an hour's notice,
and is preparing to defend the city at all haz
ards. Thousands of the citizens arc crossing
the Ohio into Indiana.
No officii list of the casualties in the late
battles have been published. The Re
serve corps were actively engaged, and suffer
ed severely. All accounts give them great
praise fur their unflinching bravery. The
132 d, led by Col. It. A. Oak ford, of Scranton,
though a new regiment, was in the hottest
of the fight, and suffered severe losses ; Col.
Oakford being among the killed.
Lincoln's Proclamation.
President Lincoln has just issued a procla
mation, declaring that all slaves in the seced
ed Slates, on the Ist January next, "shall be
then, thenceforth and forever free." This
course seems to have been forced upon the
President, by the insane ravings of Greeley
and the fanatical crew of (negro-worshippers, I
who followed his lead. Before the rebellion
broke out, we were told by these men, that
'• the south dare not leave the protection of
the General Government." That the begin
ning of hostilities, would be the signal for the
instant uprising of the entire negro popula
tion there, and that their masters would be
murdered, houses burned, and that carnage,
rapine, devastation, and blood, would mark
their paths. The South seceded. Greeley
and his tribe looked fur the fulfillment of their
predictions ; the Tribune , gave vague rumors
of the up isingof the slaves, until ashamed of
its lies, its sage editor desisted; and finally
came to the conclusion that, in order to pro
duce this desirable consummation, all that
was wanting, was a proclamation. Fremont
issued his proclaxation, emancipating all
slaves in Missouri. Hunter, to do the thing
on a grander scale, proclaimed the freedom o"
the slaves in several states. Still the obsti
nate niggers, waited for higher authority.—
" Honest old Abe," Greely thought, could do
the work with a " dash of his pen." Abe, in
his honesty, doubted, hesitated, and for a
while resisted. He was beseiged night a-d
day, importuned, threatened, and bullied, un
til the honest old soul finally gave way, and
now the Presidential edict goes forth. Gree
ly and his horde will look long and anxious
ly for their b.ack brethren to come to their
loving embrace. Abe will try to buy them,
but with an exhausted treasury, and masters
unwilling to sell, will get, " nary nigger."—
Finally he will conclude that there was some
truth in what he said of a similar proclama
tion b}* Gen. Hunter, to wit : " that all such,
are simply null and void," and that to free a
nigger, the first and most important step, is
to catch him,
—
Letter From the Army.
The following communication from a par
ticipant in the great struggle now going on,
reflects the sentiments of the entire army, so
far as we have yet learned, in regard to Gen
eral McClellan, who our abolitionized Repub
licans insist, lacks capacity as a General,
and as some make bold to affirm, is a traitor
to his country.
The writer was, before entering the army,
a Republican of the " straightest sect"—a
reader and admirer of the Tribune.
While that sheet, and others of its school,
are howling over the woes of the poor nig
ger, and insist that our armies shall strain
every thew, and pour out every drop of blood
for his liberation, oar soldiers, almost to a
man, declare that they are not fighting, nor
will not fight for any auoh ohjeot.
McClellan, who, in common with his en
tire army, has been struggling for months,
with no other object in view than to main
tain the Constitution as it is, and restore the
Union as it was, has becomo the target for
the poisoned arrows of calumny and detrac
tion in the hands of this traitor horde, be
cause he will not lend himself and his army
to the wild schemes of negro emancipation
advocated by them. It is time that these
vile traitors, wherever they may he found,
should be, to use their own language, " spot
ted." Let every true man hold them up as
objects for the finger of scorn and derision to
point at, through all time, and hand their
names down to posterity, inscribed on the
pages of infamy :
CAMP, NEAR GEORGE TOWN, Va., }
Suuday, Aug. 31, 1862. }
MY DEAR WIFE I once more attempt to
write. You may think that I have forgot
ten you, but I assure you I have not. It is
two weeks ago yesterday sinee we left Har
rison's Landing. Since then we have not
camped more than two days in one place—
We had a long march, of about 75 miles from
the Landing, to Newport News, which we
accomplished in 10 days ; some days, march
ing three or four miles, and others 25. The
weather was quite favorable, and we enjoyed
ourselves first rate. There are many thing 9
through that part of Virginia, which reminds
me of" Old England." It is one of the old
est settled places in America, and retains
much of the English style.
We got on boati at Newport News, last
Sunday, and started for Alexandria. On
Monday morning, after an unpleasant ride in
a crowded boat, with some delays, we got on
shore at Alexandria. Last Thursdaj', about
neon, marched out to camp California, stay
ed one night; Friday we came here; per
haps you don't know where Georgetown is.
It is about 2 miles above Washington City.
So you see we are on the bank of the Poto
mac, on the Virginia side, farther from Rich
mond than we have ever been since we went
to camp California, last fall. There was a
big battle yesterday on or near the old bat
tle field of Bull Run. All the troops from
here were ordered out there last night.—
I have got the jaundice and was not able to
go along. I have not heard any firing to-day,
so I think the battle must be over. I receiv
ed a letter from you yesterday morning. It
is the first I have had since I left Harrison's
Landing. I was glad to hear from you, and
to know that you were all well. You do
not say anything about the money I sent
you. You may nave sent me a letter which
T never received. I sent you ten dollars.--
If you got it tell me next lime you write. -
We don't know where we shall go, from
here, hut we have got a good deal of help
now. There are a great many Pennsylvania
boys around here. 1 saw John "Wall last
night.
I am glad you think so much of McClellan.
lie is a good General. We, the soldiers of
his army, have the greatest of confidence in
him, and if the Abolitionists and Congress
men, had let him have his own way, the war
would have been over before now. We will
never fight under any o her General, as lone
as he is alive. So long as he is left to com
mand us we will fight, as long as there is
one man left to stand by another. I hope
that every Abolitionist in the North will be
drafted, and have to come down here to fight
for their black brethren, until they are satis
fied that niggers are a curse to the nation.
Every northern man ought to be thankful
that there are none of them in the North.
Write as often as y.u can, an 1 I will do
the same. I rema nas ever your affection
ate husband.

complimentary, and accept it the more cheer
fully because of the unanimity with which it
is cjnferred.
For the kind terms in which you commu
nicate the action of the conference accept my
thanks.
I am, gentlemen, Yours Respectfully,
WILLIAM EI,WELL.
Goo. S. Tutton and others, Conferees.
The Rev. Mr. Childs, in a war
speech made in Springfield, Ohio, on the ev
ening of the 19th ult., said: "The tnan who
desires to have the Union as ! t was, ought
to he hanged up by the heels until he be dead,
dead, dead ! and the wolves and ravens ought
to eat the flesh from his carcass." Rev. Mr.
Childs is a pious black republican.— E.c.
Wo have, in this rogion, quite a largo
number of those pious " black Republicans,"
who would have Union men served in the
manner, Mr. Childs suggests. All such as
have put themselves up before the people for
office, will find themselves, after the election,
politically " hung up to dry." Wo have no
idea that we have any animals in these parts,
that are beastl}' enough to touch their cor
rupt carcasses.
ITS" The Movtrose Democrat , speaking
of the Rebellion in Bradford County, says,
that tl Wilmot'fl tyranny and fanaticism has
ruptured the Republican party in old Brad
ford. The unfair nomination of the fanatic
Landon, for Congress, has caused a destruc
tive bolt, which has resulted in the nomina
tion of Hon. 11. W.Tracy, one of the ablest
and most popular men in the party. The
utter defeat of the Wilmot faction is claimed
by the " insurgents."
A Pennsylvania editor (of the Mil
ford Herald,) says he has been represented
!in different quarters as an Abolititionist, a
I Republican, a Secessionist—everything, in
| fact except a " bob sled." He returns thanks
to his opponents for not calling him a'' bob
sled."
The editor of the Herald has our warm-
I est sympathies. " \ fellow fvefcng makes us
wondrous kind."— Ed.
