EST We have received the first number
of the Lackaica ,nu register, a new Demo,
cratic paper just started in Scranton by K.
S. M. Ilili Eq. It is a very neatly printed
and readable sheet, and well worihy the pat
ronage of the Democracy of old Luzoren, or
young Lackawana.- The Register should not
be allowed to" languish for w ant of material
support. Good wishes alone, will not print
a paper, a certain pr portion of greenbacks or
their equivalent is required. Our Democrat
ic friPnds in Northern Luzerne should con*
stantly bear this fact in tuind.
EST We have got Billy Button on the
rampage. When he cools off a little, and we
have time to waste on such small fry, we will
wind him up and set him going again. To
6oothe his ii jnred feelings at our intimation
that he moved here on a canal boat, we will
ju6t state byway of coircction lha so great
a person with such a nasal appendage, could
hardly l>e transported on one canal boat ; two
were -probably required for this stupendous
work. Does this 6atiofy you Billy?
During Mr. Buchanan's administration,
farmers received §il 00 per bushel for their
wheat. Now, under the Republican adminis
tration of Mr. Lincoln, they receive SJI 60—
Abolition Exchange.
EST During Mr. Buchanan's administra
tion a dollar in paper was worth 100 cents
now it is worth about 72 ; a yard of shirt
muslin was worth 10 cents, now it is worth
45 ; a poor girl conld purchase a calico dress
with one week's wages, now she must work
a month to obtain the -ame article ; a pound
of c< ffec was worth 16 cents, now it is worth
40. The editor should have noticed the ad
vance of these and many other articles brought
about by the happy change of administation-

MR. LINCOLN once, only four years apo
wrote to a committee of Boston Republicans :
"Those who deny freedom to others deserve
it not for themselves, and under a just God
cannot log retain it."
Uow much longer, then can he, denying'
as he dees, "freedom to others" "under a
just God" expect to "retain it" himself ?
THCRJ.OW IV EED says : "I was read out of
the Republican party, and driven out of the
Evening journal, for uiging that this war
should be prosecuted to over come a wicked
rebellion, to re establish the authority of the
Government, and restore the. Union. This
nlone was the ground ot "irreconcilable differ
ence with aiy party." That was thu length
and breadth of my offence. 'Everyman who, la
bors to "restore the Union" is sure to come
out or ge* driven out of the Republican party.
Such a man cannot remam in, or act with a
party whose chief ind and aim is to destroy
the old Union and establish a new and entire
ly different ore. * 4 With all the modern im
provements."

Tltc Peace Convention at New Yoik.
New York, June 30.—The peace Conven.
toin wag held this afternoon in the Cooper
Institute.
The resolutions adopted declare fealitj to
the Constitution and to the sovereignty of
the States and of the people ; that under the
Constitution there is no power to coerce the •
States or any of them by military force ; that
the war is contrary to the Constitution, and
should be put to an end to ; that attempts to
do away with the provisions of the Constitu
tion, which points out how crimes are to be
punished, are high-handed violations of the
sworn duties of our rulers ; that the militry
power and trial of citizens by courts martial,'
are monstrous and execrable; that the dog-,
ma of unlimited submission to the Executive
branch of the Government is unworthy an
American citizen ; that we protest against the
cowardly, despotic, inhuo.au and sQcursed
act of punishment of Yaliandigham ; and that
we recommend a suspension ol hostilities and
the holding of a Convention to settle the mat
ter of arriving at terms of reconciliation be
twen the contending sections.
A State Committee, with power to call fu
ture Conventions of the Peace Democracy
was appointed
" Traitorous Words" —A Significant Test
ID one of the towns in Connecticut, just
previous to our State election, several per
sons were discussing the measures and can
didates of parties. The Republicans, one of
whom was the Town Clerk, were bitter
against Governor Seymour, calling him a
traitor, and a friend of the South, asserting
that he was in favcr of the plan of the re
bellion, which was that the people of the
South should govern themselves, independ
ently of the North. " Well,,' said a Demo
crat, "do you oppose sentiments of that,
kind 1\ "We do," replied the Town Clerk ;
"no one except a traitor will utter senti
ments of that character." " Let me read
them to you," said the Democrat, " I have
them hire, word for word; when correctly
reported, you may not feel so bitterly hos
tile to the words uttered—they are as fol
lows
" Any people, anywhere, being inclined
and having the power, have the right to rise
up and shake off the existing government
apd form a new one that suits them
better. * * Nor is thia'right confin
ed to case 9in which the people of an exist
ing government may choose to exercise it.
Any portion of such people that c in, may
revolutionize, and may make their own of so
much of the territory us they inhabit.—
More than this, a majority of any portion of
such people may revolutionize, putting down
a minority, intermingled with or near about
them, who may oppose their movement."
"It is rank treason, said one of the Re
publicans. "It is Torn Seyineur copperhead
ism," said another, " andthe man wh i utter
ed those detestable words ought to be con
fined in Fort Lafayette, and to be fed on
bread and water, during the war- lie is a
traitor.
The Democrat laughed, and quietly said,
' Gentleman. ABRAHAM LINCOLN, the Resi
dent of the Ui.ited States. uttered these woi ds
" It's a He—Torn Seymour said it—Tom
Seymour ia the traitor," exclaimed the Re
publicans,
"No ! gentlemen,' 1 coolly replied the Dem
ocrat— 4< Abraham Lincoln is the author of
the words you now pronounce as traitorous
language. He uttered them in a speech de
livered in the II -use of Representatives, in
Washington, on the 12th of January, 1848,
on the question of a reference of certain por
tions of the President's Message. The
speech is reported, officially in the Congress
ional Globe , and you may find it on the 64th
page of the Appendix, among the debates ot
the first session of the 30th Congress."
The Republicans denied it, and a bet of
$lO was finally made that the words were
not so reported in the Globe in one of Presi
dent Lincoln's speeches. The bet was de
cided on in favor of the Democrat, on the
21st inst., on an inspection of the bound vol
ume of the Globe. in the Stats Libraiy at
Hartford , containing the speech of President
Lincoln, and the words we have quoted.
What a commentary upon the senseless
parrot cry of" traitor," uttered by fanatics
who are generally quit* ignorant of the
meaning and bearing of the epithets they so
freely use.— Hartford Times.
-
Another Newspaper Destroyed.
The Monitor, a Democratic newspaper of
Huntingdon, this Slate, was enti rely destroy,
ed by an Abolition mob on the lOih mst.—
The material of the offce, rained at §2, 000 }
waa thrown into the 6treet, and utterly ru
ined.
We hare always advised against a mob
spirit—we have urged Democrats to violate
no law, even in 6elf defence. We have been
convinced for some time that we are living
under the meanest despotism that was ever
established on the face of God's green earth,
and we deemed it better to bear the yoke
meekly during the balance of the term tor
which the people, in an evil hour, elected
Abraham Lincoln. We say we have always
deprecated the doings of the vile tnob, and we
hope we ever shall be actuated by this feeling
But, really, forbearance lias ceased to be a
virtue, and as tl e Abolitioniezd Republicans
a pperar deiermined to rule by violence, and
at their pleasure destroy Democratic print
ing offices and the property of Democrats, it
is time we meet them of their own medicine
The Democrats of Huntingdon county, in re
taliation for the outrage con milted upon
there, could not be ceusured if they meet
together and destroy the two Abolition pa
per* of that county, in>retaliation f< r the out
rage committed upon them. We mu*t
in future practice the precept "an eye
for an ey and a tooth for a tooth " Let the
Democrats of the various counties swear in
their hearts that for every Democratic print
ing office that is injured or destroyed two
Republican offices shall be razed to the
ground, and perhaps our Abolition assailants
may learn wisdom. Let the Democrats nev
er be the aggressors, but let them determine,
that hereafter force shall be met by force and
mjb by mob. Abolitionists appear anxious
for anarchy and bloodshed, and Democrats no
longer evade the issue. Our advice to Demo,
crata to be loyal, law-abiding, and even for
giving in spirit, ha* been construed by the
Republicans to mean cowardice. We tnus l
change our tactics, and give blow for bl w
always waiting, to receive the first blow our
selvea. These Abolition outrages should not
and-wHi not be longer tolerated, and if the
Jacobin friends of the Administration think
it fine fun to destroy property belonging to
Democrats, we must let them kuow that two
parties-con work at the same gareev We dis
like violence, but if we cannot protect our
selves in any other way, we will be forced, in
self-defence. to uc the strength and power
God has gived us-. u Ad e.ve fJr an eve," we
repeat, and two republican printing itficvs
fi-r every Democratic office destroyed, uius
be our watchwords hereafter. If there is no
chance for legal redress, let the lex talions be
appealed to— Carlitle Voluntee..

" Gen. BuriuMVi Order,*'
As nuvny persons may not remember Gen. j
Burnside's noted •' Order No. 38," sod not a
few perhaps, hare not seen it all, we give it
below. It could hardly be imagined, by a
reasonable being, that this manifesto was in
tended to include a Stute like Ohio, so re
mote from the scat of war. It would be
equally appropriate to New England. " Im
plied treason 1 ' we suppose to be what used
to be called" constructive treason,' 1 an of
fence not known to the laws of this country,
but under the pretexts of which multitudes
of noble men, now reckoned the martyrs of
freedom, suffered the penalty provided by
this order, in the old tyrannous and semi
civilized times. There can be no question
that the older itself was prepared for the
very purpose of entrapping Mr. Vallandig
h&in, the general sending his spies to the
meeting at the plsce of residence ot that gen
tleman to note any declaration of "sympa
thies, 11 that is to say, any bold expression
of devotion to the Constitution and the Un
ion.
In the meantime, the conduct of the Gov
ernment is far more reprehensible than that
of General Burnside, who, we fear, did not
really know much better. The Government
plainly insult* ihe majesty of the people by
its illegal and unmanly course of action in
this ca s e. Iu spite of the enoiiuity of the
i riginal outrage, and of the almost univer
sal voice of remonstance against the whole
proceedings, the Government does what it
manifestly cannot attempt to justify, and
preserves a silence which is at once undig
nified and cowardly. Besides, General Burn
side's court martial maintained at best a
sort of consistency, by providing fur the im
prisonment of the accused person in a place
within our own jurisdiction ; while the Gov
ernment renders "aid and comfort to the
enemy" by banishing the condemned person
to the territory of those with whom it is al
leged he has " sympathies !"
The order in question ii as follows :
HEADQUARTERS DEPARTMENT or THE OHIO i
CINCINNATI, April 13, 1863. \
General Order No. 38—The Commanding
General publishes, for the information oi all
concerned:
That hereafter all persons found within
our lines who commit acts for the benefit of
the enemies of our country, will be tried as
spies or traitors, and, if convicted, will suffer
death. This order include* the following
classes of persons :
Carriers of secret mails.
Writers of letters sent by secret mails.
Secru recruiting officers within the lines.
Persons whe have entered into an agree
ment to pass our liucs for the purpose of
joining the enemy.
Persons found concealed within our lines
belonging to the seivice of the enemy ; and
in lacf all persons found improperly within
our lines who could give private information
for the enemy.
All persons within our lines who lurlior,
protect, conceal, feed, clothe, or in any way
aid the enemies of our country.
Ihe habit of declaring sympathies for the
enemy will no lunger be tolerated in this
Department. Persons committing such of
fences will be at once arrested, with av ew
to being tried as above stated, or sent be
yond our lines into the I'iies of their friends.
It must be distinctly understood that trea.
son, expressed or implied, will not be toler

All officers snJ soldiers arc s'rietly charg

Resisting the I.aws.
The Republican pap rs while they are try
ing to stir up mobs io destroy the lives and
property of democrats, and while they are
calling upon the Administration to commit
illegal violence upon the persons and proper
ty olall who are not abolition traitors, de
clare that these assailed and threatened tlera
ocrata are preparing to resist the laws
But the calumniators show that democrats
are preoaring to d no such thing. Demo
crats will resist no law. 1 hat isju-t what
we are trying to do; to cause the c •nstitu
tion and the laws to he respected and pre
served. The Republicans are for destroy
ing the constitution and the laws together j
and for ruling the c untrv with a despotism
which is a violation of all law. Democrats
will not resi.-t even the illegal acts of the
late traitor Congress, except by lawful means
of the ballot and the courts While these
are left, wo will appeal to them alone for
redress and protection. But, we do warn
the madmen that, if they dure to sweep the
courts and baUot away, then muscle becomes
the law ; the great, the sacred, the eternal
law and right of the insulted majesty of the
pe< pie. The hands and the iron hearts of
the masses of the Atneiican people will beat
and strike una way if the shallow despots
shall dare to put in execution this programme
of destroying liberty by breaking down the
Government of the States. No law will be
resisted ; but lawless power will be, when
ever the people find that the ballot and courts
of justice are swept away. The truth of the
matter is, that those who are seeking to de
stroy the laws, accuse us of a design to resist
the laws. It ! is, over again, the old trick of
burglers screaming " stop thiej /" Old Guard.

The Peeling In the West.
The following letter, from a resident ot
Ohio, written to a friend here, shows the
feeling of the people in the greet west, on
the late usurpations by the Lincoln Dynasty.
MIDDLKTOWM GUERNSEY CO Ohio, I
May 28th, 1863. J
DEAR FRIEND :
Yours of the 19th inst.
is before me. I was glad to hear that your
self and family weie well. We also are bless
ed with good health. lam truly gratified
to find that you are still steadfast in the
Democratic faith—That you arc a Patriot)
and a fearless lover of your country, in these
dark days when to love and seek to prutaote
her interests and welfare—is to commit
treason- Thank God that there are such
men. Ohio is full of the patriotic brother
hood. They are resolved, come weal, or
come woe, to defndour Constitution and
our free Republican institutions, at all hat
zards. Vallandighara, the patriot, the states
man and the sage, was their leader, and not
withstanding he has fallen a victim to a das
tard tyranny, his name and his sentiments
are the watchword and spirit >f his two hun
dred thousand, patriotic, and abolition de
spising followers of the State ot Ohio. We
are perfectly imbued with the teachings of
our forefathers. We have learned friu our
infancy to speak the name of Liberty. We
love it—we will defend it. The minions of
the tyrant, who desecrates the natne of the
faithful patriarch, can never subjugate our
will, nor our bodies We are determined to
peacefully yet sternly combat for our rights,
until the sacred rights of free suffrage is at
tempted to be touched. Then, if the day
shall ever come when the Washington ne
gro desp t.sin, shall seek to deprive us, di
rectly, ot indirec'ly of the right of the free
choice of our rulers, or of the >ree and full
expression of our political views, then the
Piams of Illinois, the valleys of Indiana and
the hills of Ooio, will be filled and covered
with herds of men, who will inaugurate a
revolution, wh'ch can never be quelled nor
never appeased, until tne blood of the tyrants
shall fully and completely atone for (he out
rages that I hey Lave bourue so very—very
long, nor then, not until our free plan of
government is fully restored, nor till a man
of their euoice shall be made President after
ths manner designed by the founders of ths
Republic, not until tyranny is dead aud dea
potism datnned, not until the whole world
rejoices at ths new rising of the bright, efful
gent sun of our regenerated glory and great
ness. The west is ripe fur revolution—h-ng
have they borne—long have they sullered
long nave they been insulted—trodden down
—and trampled upon by Yankee insolence,
Yankee speculations, and Yankee ideas.—
They have determined no longer to b*ar it,
by their manhood, and by their interests,
they are resolved to avenge their wrongs.
God hasten the day when they shall be fully
avenged.
As to the Union, we will never consent to
its dissolution. The South shall never leave
us. If they are succe?sful, as every appear
ance indicates they will be, the broad arms
of the Mississippi all spread out by the God
of Nature to clasp us to the bosom of the
Great Souihcrn and North Western Confed
eracy, or if abolitionism and God-eursed abo
litionists and their fanatical tools who un
fortunately hold the reins of the G >vcrniuent
will inevitably lurce disunion upon us. We
are resolved to kick off he Yankee curse, and
try a Government of our own, where Liber
ty shall be free as the air of heaven, where
peace shall reign, and all be happiness and
joy. Vallandigham shall be the first Presi
dent—the pride of our nation and the bene
factor of the whole world. Truly as you
say. in the arrest of Vallandigham, a blow,
a severe one was struck at the democracy of
the whole country, but more particularly
those of Ohio, who designed tnak'ng him
their candidate for Governor in the coming
fall election, ••>. withstanding his arrest and
banish, ent, we may yet nominate him.—
The Ohio Democracy love h'm, they adore
hitn—and were it not for the renegade chief
magistrate of O iio, who holds the military
p..wer—he should have never been tried—
sentenced or punished,
1 am as ever your friend

Fair Warning*
The 80-ton 1 ost remarks very forcibly :
" We have said that nothing can justify an
act of tnob violence and we repeat it. But
it is idle to say that a good deal ol the action
of tiie Republican party is not calculated to
excite the fiercest passions, and lead to the
gravest results. The furious advocates of
every treasonable license of speech, so long
ms it could lend us an impulse towards thai
ruin they were preparing for us, they hav
ever since their assumption of power striven,
by intimidation and personal violence, to
suppress all free discussion, or even free so
cial communication, upon political subjects;
they have seised without le/al warrant, and
torn from their homes hundreds of citizens ;
held thetn incsrcerated without process of
Itw ; refused them hearing or trial, and final
ly turned them out of the prison doors igno
ront of even the motive of the outrage- And
where thev have dared to do so, they have
never hesitated to destroy by mob violence
Democratic presses and printing offices
They must not be surprised if their example
is at length imitated. They are mistaken if
they suppose that human patience and en
durance have no limits : nor need they think
that they ean destroy the property andia-*
flict violence on the persons of those who re
ject their political creed, or remonstrate
againt their illegal and high handed act*>
without some time having" the poisoned
chslice commended to their own lips. 11
THE NebraskaOity Nhtf says: "If we
ever had any v doubts as to the nomination
and election' of Hon. C*. L. Vallandtgham
for Governor of Ohio, they are now dispelled.
Yallandigkam in prison ia worth more to the
Uhion than *million Abolitionists outside,

The Difference between Kin*
Government and tbeotx Et
Patriot! ot the Revolutleu. "T<ea
We copy from Article I. Atnendnjtate u
the Constitution adopted March 4,1784 ■
" Cong res* shall make no law respectim u
establishment of religion, or prohibiting
free exercise thereof, or abridging the freedom
of t perch or the prtat or the right of the
pie peaceably to astemble and petition u,
government tor a redress of grievances."
The rule sought to be establisaed by Ki,-
Abraham and his followers, is that all thow
people who are ao foolhardy as to attempt U
criticise the conduct and acts of llii Mystty
'hall be abridged of the freedom of their
tpeech , and that it is base and traitotosi ( or
the people peaceably to assemble and ptihfa
ly discuss the affairs of their own goveswessf
and the public acts of their own servants.
Again. Article 11. reads :
" The right of the people to keep and Wtr
arms rIhJI nut be infringed."
King Abr*hra differs tlighfly from thr
above authority, If* divides up hit
into disi rets, place* military commndn
over ibem, with instuctions to issue tbyu
edicts that" the |eople shall not keep md
bear in arms." (->ee military orders H*M|
in the States of Ohio and Ind'atia.) Dow
this not l>N>k as though he bad been doing
something duectly antangnonutic to the ia
terests os the pe >(re, and that he fears their
righteous judgment ?
Article 4. ' the r ght of the peopde tubs
