L.VALLANDIGttAM. His sec md Address to the People of Ohio He accepts the. nomination for Governor, and defines his position NIAGARA FALLS, Canada West, ) July 17,18G3. $ Arrested and confined for three weeks in the United States a prisoner of State ; ban ished thence to the Confederate States and there held as an alien enemy and prisoner of war, though on parole ; fairly and honorably dealt with and given leavo to depart, an act possible only by running the blockade at the hazard of being fired upon by ships flying the flag of my country, I found myself first a freeman when on British soil. And to-day under protection of the British flag, lam here to enjoy and in part to exercise the privileges and rights which usurpers inso lently deny me at home. The shallow con trivance of the weak despot 3 at Washington, and their advisers, has been defeated. Nay, it has been turned against thein ; and I, who for two years was maligned as in secret league with the Confederates, having refused when in their midst, under circumstances the most favorable, either to identify myself with their cause or even so much as to re main, preferring rather exile in a foreign land, return now with allegiance to my own Siate and Government, unbroken in word, thought or deed, and with every declaration and pledge to you while at home, and be fore I was stolen away, made good in spirit and to the very letter. Six weeks ago, whenjust going into ban ishment because an audacious but most cow ardljr despotism caused it, I addressed you as a fellow citizen. l'j-duj', and from the very p'ace then selected by me, but after weari some and most perilous journeyings for more than four thousand miles by land and upon the sea, still in exile, though aim ist iu sight of my native State, greet you as your repre sentative. Grateful certainly lam for the confidence in ins integrity and patriotism implied by tho unanimous nomination as a candidate for Governor of Ohio, which you gave me while I was yet in the Confederate States. It was not misplaced ; it shall nev er bo abused. But this is the 1 ist of all con siderations in times like these. I ask no per sonal sympathy for the personal wrong. No ; it it is the cause of constitutional liberty and private right, cruelly outraged beyond exam ple in a free country, by the President and his servants, which gives public significancy to the action of your convention. Yours was indeed, an act of justice to States and the liberties of the people, had been marked for destruction by the hand of arbitrary power. But il was more. It was an example of courage worthy of the heroic ages of the world ; and it was a spoctahle a:i 1 a rebuke to the usurping tyrants who, having broken up the Union, would now strike down the Constitution, subvert your present Govern ment, and establish a formal and proclaimed despotism in its stead. You arc the restor ers and defenders of constitutional liberty, and by that proud title history will salute you. I congratulate you upon your nominations Tliey whom you have placed upon the ticket with me are gentlemen of character, ability, integrity, and tried fidelity to the Constitu tion, the Union, and to liberty. Tocir moral and political courage—a quality a Iways rare, and now the most valuable of public virtues —-Is beyond"question. Every way all these we r e nominations fit to be made. And even joalousy lam sure, will now be hushed, if I especially rejoice with you in tlm nomina tion of Pugh your candidate for Lieutenant. Governor and President of the Senate. A scholar and a gentleman, a seicfier in a for eign war, and always a patriot; eminent as a lawyer, and distinguished as an orator and statesman. I hail his acceptance as an omen of the return of the better and more virtuous days of the Rcpu blic. I endorse your noble platform—elegant in style, admirable in sentiment. You present the true issue, and commit yourself to the great mission just now of the Democratic par ty—to restore and make sure first the rights and liberties declared yours by your consti tutions. It is vain to invite the States and people of tho South to return to a Union with, out a Constitution and dishonored and pollu ted by repeated and most aggravated exac tions of tyranic power. It is base in your selves, and treasonable to yonr posterity, to surrender these liberties and rights to the creatures whom your own breath created and candestro}. Shall thero be free speech, a free press, peaceable assemblage of the people and a free ballot any longer in Chio ? Shall the people hereafter, as hitherto, have the right to discuss and condemn the principles and policy of the party—the ministry—tho men who, for the time conduct the govern" ment—to demand of their stewardship, and to place other mec'abd another party in power at their supremo will and pleasure? Shall Order Thirty-eight or the Constitution be the supremo law of the land ? And shall the citizen any more be arrested by an armed soldiery at midnight, dragged from wife and child and home to a military prison ; thence to mock military trial; thence condemned, and then banished as a felon for tho excrciso lof his rights? This is the issue, and nobly have you met it. It is the very question of free, popular government it- "tO SPEAK HIS THOUGTS IS EVERY FREEMAN'S RIGHT. "—Thomas Jefferson. TUNKHANNOCK, PA., WEDNESDAY, AUG. 26, 1863. self. It is the whole riuestion ; upon the one side liberty, on the other despotism. The President, as 'he recognized head of his par ty, accepts tho issue. Whatever he wills that is law. Constitutions, State and Feder al, are nothing ; acts of legislation nothing ; the judiciary less than nothing. In time oj war, there is but one will supreme—his will but one law—military necessity, and he the sole judge. Military orders supercede the Constitution and military commissions usurp the place of the ordinary courts of justice in the land. Nor are these mere idle claims, two years and more by arms, they have been enforced. It was the mission of the weak but presumptuous Burnside—a name infamous forever in the ears of all lovers of constitution al liberty—to try the experiment in Ohio> aided by a judge whom I name not, because he has brought foul dishonor upon the judiciary of my country In your hands now, men of Ohio, is the final issue of the experiment. The party of the Administration have accepted it. Byplcdging support to the President they have justified his outrages upon liberty and the Constitution ; and whoever gives his vote to the caudidates of that party, commits himself to every act of violence and wrong on the part of the Administration which he upholds ; and thus, by tho law of retaliation, which is the law of might, would forfeit,bis own right to liberty personal and political, whensoeve other men and another party shall hold ther power. Much more, do the candidates them selves. Suffer them not I entreat you to evade the issue ; and by the judgment of the people we will abide. And now, finally, let me ask what is tho pretext for all the monstrous acts and claims of arbitary power which you have so nobly denounced ? "Military necessity." But if indeed,all these be demanded by military ne cessity, then believe me your liberties are gone, and tyranny is perpetual. For if this civil war is to terminate only by the subju gation or submission of the South to force and arras, infants of to-day will not live to sec the end of it. No, in another way only can it be brought to a close. Traveling a thousand miles and more, through nearly one half of the Confederate States, and sojourning for a time at widely different points, I met not one man, woman, or child who was not re.-olved to perish rather than yield to the pressure of arms even in the most desperate extremity. And whatever may and must be. the varying fortune of the war, in all which I recognize the hand of Providence pointing visibly to the ultimate issue of this great trial of the States and people of America, they are better prepared now every way to make good their inexorable purpose than at any period since the beginning of tho struggle. These may indeed be unwelcome truths, but they are addressed only to candid and honest men Neither, however, let me add, did T meet any one, whatever his opinions or his station, pol itical or private,who did not declare his read iness, when the war shall have ceased and in vading armies been withdrawn, to consider and discuss the question of ro-uuion. And who shall doubt the issue of the argument ? I return, therefore, with my opinions and convictions a3 to war or peace, and my faith as to final results from sound policy and wise statesmanship, not only unchanged, but con firmed and strengthened. And may the God of heaven and earth so rule the hearts and minds of Americans everywhere, that with a Constitution maintained, a Union re stored and liberty henceforth made secure, a grander and nobler destiny shall yet be ours than that even which blessed our fathers in tho first two age 3 of the Republic. C.L. VALLANDIGHAM. A Draft St >ry. We find the following in flic Drawer of Harper's monthly Theeirolling officer of Salisbury District, Maryland was very active and thorough in the performance of his duty. One day he went, to the house of a countryman, and find ing none of the male members at home, he made inquiry of the old woman about the number and age of the "males" of the family. After naming several the old lady stopped.— "Ts there no one else ?" asked the officer.— "No," replied the woman, "none except Billy Bray." "Billy Bra}', where is he?" "He was at the barn a minute ago," said the old lady. Out went the officer, but could not find the man. Coming back, the worthy offi cer questioned the old lady as to the age of Billy, and went away, after enrolling his name among those to be drafted. The time of drafting came, and among those on whom the lot fell was Billy Bray. No one knew him. Where did he live? The officer who enrolled him was called on to produce* and, lo and behold, Billy Bray was a jackass ! and stands now on the list of drafted men as forming one of the quota of Maryland. • EST J ones some time ago asked Smith the following questions : Says Jones, "We have the ago of iron, the age of gold, and the age of bronze, but what shall we call the present age. "Why," says Smith, licking the back of a postage stamp which he was about to apply to a letter, "I think we had better call this mucil age. The doctor disagrees with Smith—he thiuks it is post- age. From the Elinira Advertiser. THE CONSCRIPTION. We propose in this article, to make a few plain statements in regard to the require ments and operations of the National Mili tia law. 1. Who are exempt ? The language of the second section is as follows : That the following persons be, and they are hereby excepted and exempt from the provisions of this act, and shall not be liable to military duty under the same to wit : Such as are rejected as physically or mental ly unfit for the service also, first, the Vice President of the United States, the heads of the various Executive Departments of the Government, and the Governors of the sev eral States ; second, the only son, liable to military duty, of a widow, dependent his labor for support; third the only son of aged or infirm parents dependent upon his labor for support; fourth, where there are two or more sons of aged or infirm parents subject to draft, the lather, or if he bo dead the mother may elect which son shall he ex empt ; fifth, the only brother of children not twelve years old, having neither father nor mother, dependent upon his labor for sup port ; sixth the father of motherless children under twelve years of ago dependent upon his labor for support; seveuth, where there are a father aud sons in the same family and house and two of them are in the military service of the United States as non-commis sioned officers, musicians, or privates, the residue of such family and household not ex ceeding two, shall he exempt aud no person hut such as are herein excepted shall be ex empt ; yrovided however, That no person who has been convicted of any felony , shall be enrolled or permitted to serve in said foices. 2. Who are enrolled ? All persons be tween the requisite ages, without any regard to their conditiou. A tnan therefore, may bo drafted who has hut one leg or one arm ; hut he will, of course, he discharged upon taking the proper steps. 3. What pay and emoluments do drafted men receive ? The law declares that the conscripts, " when called into service shall be placed on the same fooling in all respects, as volunteers for three years or dur ing the war : including advance pay aid county as now profited by law ." We italicise this clause, because we think a different impression lias been ob tained. A drafted man now receives the sainc pay as volunteers, and ONE HUNDRED dollars bounty. One mouth's pay aud fourth of the bounty, amounting to thirty eight dollars is paid, when the conscript is mus tered into the service. 4. What a man can do, when drafted. One of four things ; 1. lie can report for service. 2. He can furnish a substitute, 3. lie can pay S3OO ti the Collector of the Dis trict, an 1 preseut his receipt to the Enrolling Board, which will secure his discharge. 4. lie can he examined by tho Government Surgeon, and he examined on tho score o physical incompetence. Provost Marshal General Fry has issued a circular explaining that drafted persons pay ing S3OO for exemption from this draft only, and will bo liable to future d'-afts, but per sons furnishing substitutes will be exempt for three years. Also, that tho substitute can not be drafted, after being mustered in. He further decides that a drafted man can uot pay comuutation money or present a substitute after he has reported himself to the Board of Enrollment for examination. 5. What is the consequence of resisting or counseling resistance to the draft? The following is tho 25ih section of the law : That if any person shall resist any draft of men enrolled under this act into the ser vice of the United States, or shall counsel or aid any person to resist any such draft, or shall assault or obstruct any officer in mak ing such draft, or in the performance of any service in relation thereto, or shall couuse any person to assault cr obstruct any such ollicer, or shall counsel any drafted men not to appear at the place ol rendezvous, or wil fully dissuade them from the performance of military duty as required by law, such pe§- sou shall be subject to summary arrest by the provost-ma rshal, and shall be forthwith delivered to the civil authorities, and upon conviction thereof, be punished by a Que not exceeding live hundred dollars, or by iinpris enment, not exceeding two years, or by both of said punishments. 9. Will the traveling expenses of the draft ed men be paid ? The act provides that " all persons report ing at the place of rendezvous, shall be allow ed traveling pay from their place of resi dence." 7. Will the drafted men bo organized with Regiments by themselves ? The au6wtr of tho law is, " that all per sons drafted under the provisioner of this act shall be assigned by tho President to military duty iu such corps, regiments, or other branches of the service, as tho exigen cies of tho service may require. " JEST An Indian philosopher being asked what were, in his opinion, the two most beau tiful things in the universe The starry heaveus above our heads, aud the feelings of duty'in our hearts." * WHAT IS A DOGEAR I We hear a great deal about tho Almighty Dollar, and have a curiosity to know what it is ? Dollars may be Almighty, but tho dol las is subject to many variations, and while it was one thing yceterday, and another to-day, it may still Jie another to-tao!Tcw, and so ou to the crack of doom. Indeed ;we may 6ay that the Dollar is the representative of change —though there is no change in circulation— and that is what It will bring, like that of everything else—a bushel cf wheat, a ton of coal, ashoddy Contract, or a Congressman, What ts a dollar? We can remember the time when five of them would buy a barrel of flour or a ton of coal; when one of thcin would buy ten, twelve or sixteen yird3 of cotton shirting ; four of them would buy a pair of excellent boots. Inihe summer of 18G1, ten thousand of them would buy ten thousand barrels cf tar in New York city ; but in the autumn of 1862. the tar cost forty dollars a barrel. A dollar once meant eight pounds of coffee, three pounds of tea, twelve pounds of sugar, or six pounds of butter. Now it is a different matter although—worth scarcely half as much. This dollar which we speak of is a harlequin—it goes and comes and we cannot count it. Then, how differ ent the dollars of different people are every day in the year. The farmer's dollars is as heavy as a mill stone. It represents real la bor all that is required to raise a bushel of wheat or two bushelsof corn, or four of oats. To him it is getting up before light and doing chores after dark. See him lift it when he goes to market—it does not part from him 'ightly. But what an mrial thing is the dol lar of a young merchant, a stock speciiltor, or a contractor, or a gambler. Its specific gravity is zero. It does not mean so much toll as tho farmer's or Mechanic's dollar, and it jumps away at a hint. A fast horse can haul a great many of them, and fast women can cover myriads of them with her skirts. A dollar in Boston is one matter a dollar in San Francisco is another; a dollar in Austalia is another* A dollar in the country is twice as large as a dollar in the city. A man has five hundred of them a year in the couutry, and is rich :he has a thousand in the city and is poor he has fifteen hundred and he is no better ; two thousand and he will run in debt. Public combinatious make the dollar go farther and by living gregariously we can buy a newspaper for two cents, which would cost a hundred dollars to manufacture it ev" ery man had the focls. an 1 one man can rides live miles on the horse railroad lor five centa. whereas a private team for the purpose would cost three dollars. Ilence we see that the reign of the Almighty Dollar is not absolute, but that it is to us just what we make it, as it is to the counterfeiter, always providing that we have one on hand. A MODEL COMPOSITION". To boys anil girls, who arc pcrplexe d to know what to write about and how to write it when required by their teachers to bring a "composition," we commend the following model: TV INTER —Winter is tho coldest season of the year because it comes in tho winter. In some countries winter comes in the summer, and then it is very pleasant. I wish winter come in the summer in this country. (Then I could go skating bare foot and slide down hill in linen trowsers. We could snow-ball with out our fingers getting cold—and men who go out eleigh-riding wouldn't hava to stop at every tavern to warm, as they do now It snows more in the winter than any other season of the year. This is because so many cutters and sleighs are made at that time. Ice grows much better in winter than in summer, which was an incouveninco before the discovery of ice houses. Water that is left out of doors is apt to freeze at this season. Some people take in their wells and cisterns on a cold night and keep them by the fire 60 they don'i freeze. Skating is great fun in the winter. The boys get their skates on when the river is frozen over, and race, play tag, break through tho ice and get wet all over, (they get drown cd sometimes ;) fall and break their heads, and enjoy themselves many other ways. A wicked boy once borrowed my skates and ran of with them aud I couldn't catch him Mother taid a judgment will overtake him one day. Judgment will have to be pret ty lively on its legs if it does, for ho runs bully. There ain't much sleigh-riding except in the winter—folks don't seem to care about it in warm weather. The grow-up boys and girls like to do sleigh-riding. The boys gen erally drive with one hand and help the girls hold their muffs with the other. Brother Bob let me go aloug once when he took Celia Crane out sleighing-riding, and I thought he paid more attention to holding the mutf than he did to holding the horses. Snow balling is another winter sport, I have snow-balled in the summer. But wo used stones and hard apples. It isn't so amusing as it is in the winter, somehow. £isr "i am surprised, wife, at your igno rance," said a pompous fellow. " Have you uever secu any books at all ?" " Oh, yes" he replied, '• m a uurnbor of eases." ITEHMS i SI.GO PEn ANNTJM THE TERMS. •"l l 4 Mr. Lincoln never uttered a sentimeh*. more true than that contained in one of his earliest documents upon the rebellion. f Ho 6aid to the South, l ' we cannot always fight after years of war the same question will re turn for settlement ." It would 6eem that the propitious time for negotiation, for an adjust ment of the difficulties which now cpqvifise* the country, cannot be remote. Indeed, it may well be questioned whether in view the very important advantages we have recently gain ed, the government is not now in a situation where it becomes a duty to make some ad vances in the direction of peace, If we aro not mistaken, there are signs that the pppular mind is looking for some such demonstration. Already many influential journalslare discuss ing the terms on which the Union shall be re. stored. This is the point on which pubiic opinion will necessarily divide. Amid the din and commotion of war, it has not been difficult to keep this subject out of sight. Every consid-. erate mind, however, has long seen that this question must soon arise, and become an ab sorbing one. It would have been wise to, shape our war policy with reference to such a settlement of our sectional differences as should prove practicable and aJapted to the nature of our governmens. . Ihe different views which must control the sentiments of the people begin to be shadowed forth. The article we publish this week from the the Louisville Journal sets out very forcibly the doctrines which all con servative men have maintained lrom the be giuniug of our unfortunate war.Jg They are the doctrines which the President himself adopted in the earlier stages of the rebellion, and to which wo have no doubt he will tlnd himself compelled to return. The Seceded States must be allowed aud invited to come back to the old Union, subject to 110 terms or restrictions except only such as tho Con stitution itself imposes. Any other position necessarily involves revolution, and the over throw of the great fundamental principle of self-government. The radical element of the country will, of ceurse array itself against any such settle ment ol the war. From the beginning, 60 far as they have been able, they have dictat ed to Mr. Lincoln a policy which aimed rath er at a change in the elements of Southern society than a restoration of our government. In this effort they have been so far successful we apprehend, as seriously to embarrass tho future anil most important action of the Ad ministration. These persons, we may ex pect, will assail with all the ferocity natural to tho artificial minds any attempt to rostoio peace, which shall not embrace as a primary condition the abolition of slavery. II ow far they have OIVJ ALL. to educate public opin ion to su=ta:u their views remains to be seen. —N. Y. Copperhead. Royalty, This word has been uiuch iu vogue for the two years past, and it is not always easy to comprehend precisely what is meant by tho term as often used. \\ e can readily under stand that it is the solemn duly of every one to sustain the regularly oiganized govern ment, while acting in its appropriate sphere. It is our duty as American citizen to uphold the Government of the United States, and to our utmost give it efficiency especially at this time when traitorous hands seek its overthrow. But, we beg to ask does not true loyalty equally require u? to sustain our Stale Government i The State organization is not less a part of our great American sys tem of government, than the Federal. Can a man be truly "loyal," who while ho sup ports the General Government with unques tioning subserviency, is doing all in his power to depreciate and break down the State Ad ministration ? Yet for the last two or three weeks, men and presses which lay special claim to a monopoly of "loyalty" and patriot- . ism, have been doing just this thing. Wit ness the unscrupulous ferocity of, their as saults on Governor Seymour. No caudid man can doubt that the Governor acted both wisely and efficiently in the suppression of the late disgraceful riots in New York. Tho result amply justifies both his discretion aud energy. Yet lrom the beginning of the troub les, such presses as the Tribune, the Times, and the Independent, have not lor a moment ceased to assail him with the grossest epi thets. aud the most false and malicious impu tations. Happily for the peace and good or der of society, the very violence of their as saults, have recoiled upon these malignauts. Gov. Seymour has been true to his duly and equal to the emergency iu which lie is thrown, and such will be the verdict of the people. EVILS OF IDLENESS —Nine-tenth of the miseries and vices of manhood proceed from idleness; with men ol quick miuds, to whom it is especially pernicious, this habit is com- monly the fruit of many disappointments,and scheme olt batilcd ; and men fail in their 6cheuies,not so much for the want, of strength as the ill diroctiou ot it, Th weakest living creation, by concentrating his powers ou a single subject, can accomplish something ; the strougest, by dispersing his over many may lail 10 accomplish anything,. The drop„ by continued iailiug, bores its passage through tho hardest rock—the hasty torrent rushes over it. and leaves nq-tracv behind. VOL. 3, NO. 3.
