C|c fkmotrat HARVEY SICKLER, Editor. TFVffKHANNOCK, PA. Wednesday, No*. 5, 1862 DEMOCRATIC JUBILEE -And— Buck Roast! There will be a DEMOCRATIC JUBILEE AND DUCK-ROAST, AT WALL'S HOTEL, IN TUNK HANNOCK, ON FBiMY, NOV. 7, 1352, For the purpose of Celebrating the Tri umphant and Glorious Demo 4 eratic Victories in Penn-' sylvania and elsewhere. The following named Gentlemen will participate in the Festivities, and deliver addresses on the occasion : Hon. E. B. Chase, Col. V. E. Piolette, Ira. C. Mitchel, and Cal'bE. Wright, Esqs Judge Barnard and the Whit of Habeas Corpus. A special correspondent of the Philadel phia Inquirer, writing from New York <<n the 2nd inst. says : Judge Barnard in the Supreme o<>urt Chamber, this morning, delivered himself as follows:— Writs of habeas corpus had been sued out on behalf of two or three 6oldiers, who, it is contended, were illegally detained by Colonel Duryea, at his Zouave encamp ment,-oil Staten Island. The writs were iftade fetufnable at 10 o'clock A. M. For some reason or other, the soldiers did not make their appearance, whereupon his Honor declared that the men must be pro duced on Monday, or else he w.iuld resort to ineans to enforce the writ. He did not want fo interfere in military matters ; he did not want to obstruct enlistments; on the con trary, he would rather encourage them, but rieVeitheless, these writs must be respected. There was still power enough in this city to carry out the requirements or the civil law, and it should to enforced, 'f he had to call ttpon the whole Democratic party for assist ance. In rase of a further refusal, ne could point out away, provided by statute, which would bring sufficient assistance t<> produce fhe soldiers here by force. In reply to a query whether the President had not sus pended the writ of habeas corpus, in Rich mond county, Judge Barnard replied that he (Barnard) intended to restore it, and that the people themselves would rest' re il next "Tuesday." It is to be regretted in these times, when men are arrested by hundreds, and hurried off to Some tort or dungeon, upon ihe most frivuMw pretences that trie re are not more Judges-of tlie Same stripe ~f Judge Barnard Within the pa<n Week we ha'v had accounts of the arrest and seizure of ihe papers o| a Committee in Baltimore composer? of highly respectable citizens, no were engaged in in vestigating the army frauds perpetrated'in that Vicinity. Also of the arrest of a distin guished lawyer in St. Lquis, who in a speech dared to speak in unfavorable terms of the currency furtiifched by the government. 01 another in the same city, who said he ilo ught the late emancipation proclamation illtimed tod unaffective. Also the Rev. Charles A. Hay, a distinguished Lutheran divine of Har risbtlrg, vftio, in a letter Complained that our wotfnefed and sick soldiers were not allowed to be taken' home t<v tneir friends for atten tion to their wants ; while ihe relief prison ers in Baltimore were allowed ihat privilege. These are a few of the arrests thai have come to our notice wiihin In* past week.— Hundreds of men are arrested every month tipon Charges equally frivtlous, or upon none at all, and are now confined in forts and mili tary prisons. TCthey ask the '' nature and Ckuseof their accusation," if they ask a " trial by a jury of their count v," as under fhe coiwtitirtiow and laws,- they have the tight to- do.- They are coopy fohl that " the Writ of Habeas Corpus- is suspended f 1 The shoulder strapped gentry in charge of these places refuse to recognise the civil atHhuri ties. This tampering with the Constitutional rights of freemen, has been Carried quite fo< fcr, and we are glad that one judge, at feasi, is derermined U see that they shad be in spected. The people are prepared for a re turn to the guaranties of the constitution and the laws, and should and will support the ju diciary in their efforts to restore them. Theftj are now 250 rebel prisoners ft' Port fhjlatfate, near Philadelphia, chiefly those captured at Winehester, by General Shields. Our Foreign Relations. The following information—'" very impor tant, if true s ' —appeared in the New York Eaqprest of Monday. We do not believe it; but, even if true, we do hot think it will have much, if any, effect in hastenihg a settlement of our domestic difficulties; in fact it will be fflore likely to have a corttrar}' tendency, and prolong and add to the bitterness of the war. We give the article for precisely its market value : Reliable information has been received in this city from semi-official sources in Europe, that England and France are of entire accord in regard to their line of conduct towards this government. Lord Lyons, who was to have returned to the United States in the Australasian, was detained at the last mo ment by order of Lord John Russel, (Her Majesty's Secretary for Foreign Affairs,) to await further instructions, in consequence of the President's abolition proclamation. His lordship's departure was then fixed for October 25, (last Saturday,) and on his arriv al at Washington, lie will positively inform Mr Seward of the programme decided upon by the European Powers. Instructions simi lar to those of the British Minister will be forwarded to Count Mercier, the French Min ister, at Washington, with the same steamer which will bring the English Minister back to this country. We are also given to understand that our government will soon be informed that Eng land and France hare decided upon the rec ognition of the S uthern Confederacy, if the joint offers of meditation and armistice to be proposed to Mr. Seward are not accepted.— At any rate, this government will be duly notified of the intentions of England and France, in this respeot, and as these Powers are fully aware that any offer of meditation on the basis of separation will not for an in stant even be listened to by our government, united endeavors will then be made by all the European ambassadors in Washington to obtain an armistice of four or six months be tween North and South. These foreign governments are under the impression that if once a cessation of hostili ties can be effected, a calmer spirit will suc ceed, which will enable the two sections to negotiate. The utmost endeavors will be made shortly after Lord Lyons'return to Wash ington, by the whole corps diplomatique at Washington, to brtng about such au armis tice. Only then, when all these offers of meditation and armistice shall have proved of no avail, will the South be recognized simul taneously by England and France. Aside from the fact that these Powers would now look upon ihe South as a defac to government, they fear that an insurrection of the slaves in the South as a consequence of the late emancipation proclamation will t-'Ke p.ace after the Ist of January—and hence, in order to afford protection to their own citizens residing there, are compelled to grant protecting p.>\ve to their agents in the several southern cities, winch, as things stand just now, th y do not possess. 0 They kar that the confederate government, unrecognized a--: it is, may at any time tell their Consuls in Charleston, Richmond, Sa vannah and elsewhere, that there is no di plomatic relation existing between the con federacy and Europe, and can therefore not permit them to act in a consular capacity.— It is to guard against such an emergency, afid to afford their own citizens residing in the South ample pretection under the mgis of their regularly appointed agents, that Eng lafrd and France wdl ciaim the necesity of recognising the new confederacy. — The Xext Igfdaturc. The Harrisburg Patriot, of Thursday, gives the following as a political completion of the next Legislature i DF.M. Senate 13 20 House 54 46 67 , 66 Democratic Majority on joint ballot, 1 Emancipation—lmmediate or Gradual. Lei calm, solemn enquiry goon in the spir it of truth, and the light of "history that carries our knowledge over the vast and de vi airing space of so many thousands of years." din* i- ihe voice of the ages in the weighty words of l)e Tocqueville : *' Ilithertou, wherever the whites have been the most powerful, they hare maintained the blacks in a subordinate or a sercille position: WHEREVER TIIE NEGROES HAVE BE£li THE STRONGEST THEY HAVE DESTROTED THE WHITES. Suck has been the only retribution which hag ever taken place between the two races" OUT UM statesmen and patriots saw and felt all this, and hence plead for the policy of gradfta! emancipation, with education and preparation for freedom and colonization, to occupy generations, and thus safely release the country of slavery. Modern fanatics and demagogues have rushed wildly on to the fe rocious* measure of immediate emancipation by the point of the bayonet. The Easton Artfus says, " ft is singular but, ii"t unnatural fact that every county that was tori m the revolution, such a* Lancaster, Chester, Delaware, &c., are abolition now. On the contrary, every county that warmly sustained the patriot cause in the revolution now upholds the Democratic party. The de scendants of the men, who under the infamous rifle of old John Adams, supported the des potism, alien and sedition haws, gag law, stamp and window taxes, imprisonment of Democrats, and all other obnoxious measures of that odii-us administration, now sustain all the obnoxious measures of the present Ad ministration, including negro proclamations, Fort Lafayette and all. There's a great deal m the blood and breed of men. Men whose fathers were tories in revolutionary days nev er grow up Democr ts," I*3** The ple&santest things in the world are pleasant thoughts; and the g>eat art in l | life is tto'baVe as fhanjf of them as possible.- The Di aft in Pennsylvania The Pittsburg papers of Saturday contain the following item: Theft is a " Bpeck of war 3 ' on the horizon. The drafted militia of Saltlick and Bullskin townships, Fayette county, have determined to resist the conscription, and have set at defi ance the orders of the commissioners to re port themselves to Camp Howe. Under these circumstanses Col. Collins, of Uniontown, was dispatched to this city, with authority to ob tain the services of a sufficient number of troops to enforce the law and compel obedi ence to the orders of the draft commissioner. He arrived here last evenin? by railroad, and we presume that an armed force will be sent up to capture and subdue the " rebels,"-if they do not yield ; and it is h>>ped that they will see their folly before the bloody scenes which were witnessed in Luzerne county are re-enacted in Fa}ette. The townships of Bullskin and Saltlick ate mountain districts, and it is said that a log fort has been constructed in an eligible posi tion, and that the men are determined to fight rather than surrender. The difficulty is said to have originated in the fact that these dis tricts did not get proper credit ftr the volun teers that they have furnished, and hence the draft is pronounced unfair and illegal. Grant ing this to be true, they are taking a wrong course to secure their rights, and they had better desist in time. A letter from Treraont, Schuylkill county of the 25th says: There is reason to believe that some of the complaints in regard to the enrollment in Schullkiil countj are well founded. A com mittee Was appointed bv the citizens, and was 6ent to Frank Hughes and Mr. Buckalew for legaj advice, who advised them not to resist the draft on account of the alleged informalities, but to test its constitu tionality afterwards on a writ of habeas cor pus. This course will be pursued. Oth:r parties have consulted Governor Curtin, who does not appear to be certain whether the drafted men can be sent out of the State. The quota of Schuylkill county was sixteen hundred. It is an undeniable fact that in townships where the draft has already taken place, the victims immediately absconded, and it is extremely doubtful whether the sixteen hundred will all be obtained. Poor Forney* Forney, whose profligate Judas Work was repudiated in this State—Forney, who wres tled alternately with the soul of John Brown and bad brandy on the night of the election, is now calling on what he terms " Douglas Democracy" in New York to " save or pei ish." Poor Forney, the shadows of gloom and dark ness seem to thicken up.>n him in proportion as he sinks into that " lawless deep" to which his debauchery and moral depravity have ta ken him. " Douglas democracy 1" The soul of a toad would contain more of it than For ney can control in the American Union. Let him call upon Baal, for he u.ay be absent" " or sleeping" with the soul of his sainted cut throat of whom he sings. Alas, poor Forney, he is hunting a traitorous prostitutes reward, and he will find it at the end of his face Sunbury Democrat. The iieit United Stales Senators The democrats are in the majority on joint ballot of one. This secures a United States Senator, unless the game of high-handed bri bery is again played. We are glad to see a determined sentiment on this question. Let the brited and the briber meet a fearful retri" but ion. It is time that this infamous system was ende i. Great priucipl, s are at stake? and the man, who now either gives or takes a bribe, commits and infamous crime not only against the elective franchise and the best in terest of our country. Lert it be understood that the infamous scoundrels who would thus barter the priceless interests of a free people, shall know what retribution means. C. L v ALLANDiG-HA.>f.— It is probable that Yallandigham has been defeated for congress, by about 250 majority. F.ven this result is a triumph, for after his last election to congress, the Black Republicans jerretuandcred his dis trict so as to make a majority of over 5.000 against him. This huge majority Mr. Yallan digham has reduced to 250. If the Demo crats of Ohio have a majority in the Legisla ture, which is probable, they ought to, elect Yallandigham to the United States Senate in place of old Ben Wade, whose term will ex pire on the 4th of next March. GENERAL CASS' OPINION. —The Detroit Free Pi ess derrie.'?, on the authority of General Cass himself, the story thart has been going the rounds of the Abolition papers, that he (Cass) approves of the President's Emancipation Proclamation.—The old patriot and statesman says : " 2 here, is no power in the Executive, under the Constitution' to decree the emanci pation of sluresP The Abolition paper, how ever, will not have the honesty or candor to give publicity to this contradiction. Tlie Changes in Congress. The following is about the result for Con gress in the four States named, alhough ; t may be changed in one or two districts by the official vote : Proscnt Congress. Next Congress. Dem, Abo. Item. Abo. Ind. Pennsylvania 8 17 12 10 2 Ohio 9 12 14 5 0 Indiana 4 4 7 4 0 lowa 0 2 0 6 0 21 38 r 33 25 2 This exhibits a Democratic gain of 12 mem bers. Under the new census, Pennsylvania loses one member and Ohio two, and lowa gains four. It is understood that extensive pre parations are making in Washington for the 900.000 Greeley Wide Awakes who have waited for the Proclamation before springing to arms. The beef, biscuit and glory awaits them.— Procidencc Post, Ye Gallant Aleck McClure. The two great Alecks of this State have been knocked hors du combat. Aleck Cum rtfings was defeated because he swindled the soldiers, and Aleck McClure surrendered his, natite toWn to the rebels without firing a gun. There is no difference between these two Alecks —they are politic Siamese twins and probably they are two of the most cor rupt men in the United States. McClure has been working for the last two years for the Gubernatorial chair. l!is cowardly surrend er of Chambersburg has 60 thoroughly dis gusted his own party that it treats htm with scorn and derision. The Washirigton Corres pondent of the Chicago Times pours a volley of hot shot into him after this fashion : •' The man who marched out with a flag of truce to surrender Chambersburg was Alex ander McClure, the very fellow who in Phila delphia last week made a speech to a crowd of Abolitionists, in which he expounded the whole theory of war according to Wendell Phillips, advocated inarchiDg at once on the enemy, giving them no quarter j and in short, gave his audience to understand that himself and a half dozen of his own political kidney could march against Lee, annihilate him be fore breakfast, and reach Richmond in time for dinner. A squad of ragged horsemen ap proached the town, and instead of shouldering his shot gun, and dying in defence of his cause as he was very willing to do in theory on a Philadelphia stump, he takes a white flag and and goes out two miles to meet the enemy and surrender the town,—the very last tnan ready for fight, the very first ready for a sur render." And we can add that while ye gallant Mc- Clurc was entertaining some of the rebel offi cers at his blazing fire-side, a gang of marau ders stole ten of his horses. The State will have to pay 7 for the horses, so that, after all, McClure loses nothing but his nomination for Governor. llow would ye gallant Alleck like to he charged with a sneaking sympa thy with rebellion, on the ground of his so hospitably entertaining the rebels at his own homestead 1 But that would be imputing a wrong motive to him. The truth really is, that Aleck was terribly frightened, that he did not dare to be otherwise than a hale fel low-well met with the invaders.— Mercury. Gen. Cas3' View 011 the President's Procla mation. The Detroit Free Press, of October 11th, has the following in one of its editorial col umns : We are requested by General Cass to say that the letter which ha< just been published in the Chicago Tribune , from Mr. Eastman, of that place, requires correction. That gen tleman called upon General Cass, and a con versation to k place upon various topics, in which opinions were freely expressed. This conversation, at least on the part of General Cass, was not expected to he transferred to the newspapers, and should no- have been without his permission. He would, however have had no objection to the publication had his sentiments been correctly understood and reported. At that interview; among other things ]\fr. Eastman intieduced the President s pr<>cla mat ion. and the subject was somewhat dis cussed. Mr. Eastman supposes General Cass to have expressed his approbation of that | measure. This is a mistake, tn the few re marks he made upon the . reclamation, Gen. Cass expressed himself favorably as to the views and intentions of the President, but observed, that in his opinion, there was no, power in the Executive, under the Constitu tion, to decree the emancipation of slaves, though, as a war measure, wherever it be came necessary in the operation of our forces against the rebels to free the s!aves< it was competent for the President to direct it to be done. Swindling the Soldiers. The Northampton Gazette says it has good authority for the following statement :—'• A soldier was taken sick and 6ent to the hos pital. When he began to recover, he craved some little delicacy to soothe his nauseated palate, and asked for some currant jeily.— He was told that lie could have the jelly, but he must pay Sor it. He could have a pot of jelly for two dollars. He had but two dol lars in his pocket, and with that he was in hopes of reaching his home, as soon as he was able to travel. He told his attendant that he had but two dollars and that he did not need the whole jar ofjelly, a small parr, would be sufficient. No, he must take the whole or none, and he must pay two dollars for it. Finally the invalid bought the jelly, and on removing the covering he discovered to his astonishment, within the wrapper a note directed to himself, and that this very jar of jelly had been sent by his own family to him. This is but one among the many outrages perpetrated by the unprincipled men who are found in our army." This is only one case in a thousand where the poor sick soldier is defrauded ofliltlecomforts kindly furnished him by the generous hearts of the nation. Most of the delicacies 6ent to camp are in this way made to benefit the blood-thirsty contractors that have acquired positions by their loud professions of loyalty. The government should track these soldier hillers and mete out a punishment commeas urate with the crime committed. Talk about spies when you have such spirits mingling in the Federal army ; men who would do this, would sell a nation for a consideration. NEW FRAUD— Five dollar bills, purport ing to be issued by the Clinton Bank of Penn sylvania, are in circulation. The notes are altered from the broken Clinton Bank, of Ma ryland, are well engraved and have a railroad train on upper centre. There is no bank of that name in Pennsylvania. JC3T The story that is going the rounds of the papers that General Cass approves of the President's Emancipation Proclamation, is very good—only it is not true. The Gen eral don't thmk the Proclamation constitu tional. • "The Grand National Hymn#" We have been looking very anxiously over the Republican papers for the appearance of the Abolition " Grand National Ilymn," so pronounced by John W. Forney, at the aboh tidfi* jubilee in Philadelphia, on Tuesday night after the election, whin he announced to Abraham Lincoln that Pennsylvania had giv en 50,000 majority for the Abolition ticket. Why don't they publish it ? Forney endorses it; the party in Philadelphia sing it—Mayor Henry refused to be heard until the Baud and choristers came tc him at the request of Forney, singing "John Brown's body lies mouldering in the grave,'' then heiesponded. Certainly such authori ty, such endorsement, should procure a place in the columns of the " loyal" press fr>r l{ the Grand Mitioiial Hymn." We ai'e disposed to bfe liberal. If they will hot publish it wc will; and all we ask in return is, that they will publish the " Democratic Grand Nation al Hymn" the " Star Spangled Banner."

Glory Hally, Hallelujah 1 Hip, Ilip, Hip, liip, Hurrah ! Broken Promises; How often has the country been assured that the war wou'd be closed in " thirtv." '' sixty"' and *' ninety' days ? Mr. Seward has certainly given the country this assur ance three or four different tunes : and when we remember that Mr. Seward is the man whom General Scott assund, on the 3d ot March. 18oi the dor before Mr. Lincoln and Mr. Seward assumed their positions at the head of the Government—that it would take " three years''' to conquer the South, these promises, or predictions, of Mr. Seward, tnust appear the more extraordinary. One would suppose that a man who had been as much in public life as Mr. Seward—iivt us in coin niunicalion with Southern then, and having spent part of his early life in the South would not need to be told that the rebel* could not be conquered in either of the peri ods named by him ; but that his own reason and unaided judgment should tfeafcb him to the contrary. If hy were these predictions made ? Did any body believe them ? Or did any body believe that Mr. Seward was sincere ? For our part, we think that all dec larations, made by persons at the head of our public affairs, and whose positions give them a national or official character, are just so many stains upon our national reputation. Those, like Mr. Seward, who make them, are nut trilling with the people—playing up >n their credulity. It cannot be that such men can be so much mistaken. This would he presuming too much upon their ignorance.— Any school boy should know better. Is it any wonder, then, thai the patience of the people is exhausted ? Is it any won der that murmurs are beginning to be heard in erefy camp, and that it requires all the tact and skill of such chieftains as McClellan to prevent these murmurs finding utterance and leading to their natural consequences ? Those " thirty," and '* sixty," and " ninety" days of Mr. Seward have now reached almost six hundred , and the prospect for the end of the war is about as flattering as it was at the beginning. Singular Delusion. Gold is now worth, in New York, from •SI 38 to SI 38. This is what the newspa pers tell us. But every man of sense knows that gold is, in reality, worth no m >re now than it was before the war, deducting, per haps, a trifle for the expense and risk of tran3 portation in foreign exchange transactions This apparent advance in the prices of gold is not because its intrinsic value has increased, but because other values, being to a large ex tent fictitious, have deprecated. To say, therefore, that gold—being the standard of value in this country—has increased one third in value, is a misrepresentation ; but to say that our government funds, and our pa per currency, have decreased one-third in value, would be telling the truth. The attempt of the New York brokers to delude the people as to this fact, by striking gold transactions from their official lists, is in perfect character with the manifold delusions of the times, and will be about as effective in regulating the worth of gold as was the <r Pope's Jjull against the comet.'' Ota fa.—Tho official ro turns from the 0"hio election give a Democratic majority of 8.740. • Ipmal Untie**. ESTRAY.
