ATOUCIT IV Gr INCID EVT. [The following morcea-u, contributed to the Phil adelphia Bulle'in from some unknown pen, wa? suggested by an affecting scene in one of the army hospitals. A brave lad of sixteen years, belonging to a New England regiment mortally woun led at Fredericksburg, and sent to the Patent Office Hos pital in \V r ashington, was anxiously looking for the coning of his mother. As his last hour approached, and sight grew dim, he mistook ft sympathetic lady, who was wiping the clammy perspiration from his forbeaa, forthe expected one, and. with a smile of joy lighting up his pale taee, whispered tenderly, •' Is this mother 1" "Then," says tho writer, 'draw ing her towards him with all his feeble strength, he nestled his head in her arms like a sleeping infant' Rnd thus died, with the sweet word ' mother' on his quivering lips." " IS THAT MOTHER 1" Is that mother bending o'er me, As snc sang my cradle hymn— Kneeling - t'-ere in tears before me 7 Say ? —my sight is growing dim. Comas she from the old home, lowly, Out among tho Northern hills, To her pet hoy, dying slowly Of war's battle-wounds and ills ? Mother! oh, we bravely battled— Battled till the day was done ; While the ieaden hail-storm rattled— Man to man, and gun to gun. But we failed ; anil I ain dying— Dying in niy boyhood's years ; There, no weeping; self-denying, Noble deaths demand no tears' Fold your arms again around me ; Press again my aching* heal: Sing the lullaby you sang me— Kiss mc tnetlier, ere I'm dead' Miscellaneous. THE EVILS OF THE TIME, AND THEIR REMEDY. t BY ribN. C. R. BUCKALEW. The capital evils which afflict the nation aie, a broken Union; civil war; an immense ami increasing debt ; great and unexampled bit term s* in the social relations of men ; and last, but not least, multiplied snd grave er rors, usurpations and -abuses of er by men in public authority. llovv these evils can lie most surely removed, anil their re currence prevented, i the great, the all en grossing question which now confronts us and demands reply. The reply is furnished in declaring the polic" of ihe Democracy of Pennsylvania —i policy so simple, so just, so perfectly con formed to the necessities of the times, tha* n >ne can ini>un lti'etund it, or sincerely ques tion its fitness for the repression of existing evils. That policy is connected with a sincere de vol ion to the laws of the land, and with a deep conviction of tie necessity <>f maintain ing thetn intact qnd unbroken Those laws c nstst of the Constitution an! statutes oi tie United States, and the Constitutions and statutes of the several States, and include much of the common law of England and those legal guarantees of liberty which are the boast of liritsh history. Those laws ol the land make up that American system o* free government which has insured our pros perity and given us a high place of honoy among the nations of the earth. But thos* laws hive been assailed—that system of free government has been interrupted in its coure the Slates are broken asunder, and 6ounl of violence fill the land. It is timely, then, to inquire. Who have as sailed those laws, and who are now the ene inies of reunion and liberty? Against whom, against what interests shall ttie voice of thi - great Stale be spoken and her power be ex erted 1 Unquestionably the radical Abolitionists of the North assailed the laws persistently and earnestly for years—by incendiary docu ments transmitted through the mails, and to excite insurrection in the South ; by seduc ing negro slaves to abscond from their m ters, asststing their escape, Secreting them from pursuit, and by raising mobs to resist their reclamation. They also created and kept up agitation in Congress by petitions for unconstitutional laws, and the John Brown raid into Virginia—a mission of ra pine and blood —was assisted by their con tributions, and was followed by the canoni zation by them of its leader as a saint. In stigated by them, many of the Northern Leg islatures enacted statutes to d-feat or im pede the reclamation of fugitive slaves under the laws of the United States, thus giving State sanction trt the revolutionary spirit. At last the Republican party was found ed, and drew most of the Abolitionists into its ranks, and along with them obtained their passions and their fatal dogma that there are law? of the individual will higher in obliga tion than the laws of the landj and that the latter, when they conflict with the former, may be broken without guilt and without reproach. It followed, in due course, that the decision of the Supreme Court of the United States upon negro citizenship and the rights of Southern men in the Territories "TO SPEAK IIIS THOUGHTS IS EVERY FREEMAN'S RIGHT. " —Thomas JeH'ersci!, TUNKHANNOCK, PA., WEDNESDAY, SEPT. 9, 1863. was denounced, and the acqu'escence in it refused bv the Republicans, and the validity of any law establishing slavery was denied 111 their platform adopted at Chicago. The* refused to be bound by the law, and their platform was itself a repudiation of the laws, as it denied their obligation. The Abohtion : Btß and the Republican par tv, are, therefore, first in fault, in breaking away from good faith, duty and law, and their example, and the apprehension- of fur ther acts of aggression upon Southern rights by them, provoked (although they could not justify) the existing great rebellion. That rebellion wa< against the laws of the United States, and put the whole body of them at defiance. Although it asserted for itself a legal ground of justification it is most manifest that it was lawless and unauthorized. The compact of Union, be ing without limitation of time, must be held, as intended by its authors, to be perpetual, and the provision contained in it for its own amendment, provides the only lawful mode by which its obligations can be limited or changed. Considering secession as a breach of the public law, and in view of the irn mense interest put in peril by it, this State concurred in measures of hostility again o tde South. But this was done to vindicate the broken law, and to secure the objects for which the Government of the United States was originally founded, %nd for no purpose of conquest, of oppression or of fanatical expe rimeiit. Upon this ground we may justify our C' nduct, and submit it, without appre seiision of censure, to the judgment of future I lines. But the war has lasted tnnrfe than tw > t ears, and its management, and the ineas n res of legislative and executive policy which have accompanied it, have given oc casion for trequeni and just complaints. It lias been so managed that our armies I ave been outnumbered where decisive battles were to he fought, or have been rashly thrown upon impregnable positions of the enemy. Our forces, gieatly outnumbering those of the C uifederates, have been so dis persi-d ar.d so handled tha r their superiorly iias not determined the issue of campaigns, or concluded the contest. Alter contrtbut iug one fifth of a million of inen to the war. • •ur State is i*ulted by raids, and is made dependent urnm the friendship of neighbor ing States for her immediate defence- But it is not the mismanagement of par ticular military operati 11s, nor other mere errors <>r policy of our rulers, that has sunk into the hearts of fret inen a* matter of most deep and enduring complaint. Mere mis management or error may be imputed to in experience m war, to a lent, to except.on a! >r temporary causes, or at the worst, to incompetency. Bu| what shall be said of the acts of Con irress and acts of the executive 111 coin* tup of the Constitution, which, bearing upon t lie war, have protracted it, united the enemy, divided our own people, and placed us m a false position before the nations of the earth ? T e Confiscation Act and the Emancipation Proclamation are, in the opinion of a large nart of our people, not only tin wise ar.d inju rious tu our cause, but also wholly unauthor ised by any any princfole of belligterent or constitunonal law. We need g< but a little way beyond the doctrine of these measure before we conclude! that the torch may be applied to entire towns, and a servile, sav age race bu let loose to wotks of rapine and war. But not merely in jtfie policy of the war— HI our relations with the enemy—has illegal ity, with consequent evil, appeared. In t.iese Northern States, wholly untouched by levolt, the public sense lias been outraged by repeated and flagrant acts of arbitrary pow er. The enumeration of these would consti tuifc a volume; and they furnish a premoni tion of evil in the future which every patri otic mind should view with deep apprehen sion. How long can the law be habitually and otfensively broken by the public author ities, in peaceful and free communities, be fore resistance will be provoked and a reign of social disorder established ? Thus, upon reviewing cur affairs, we per ceive how the spirit of re-ohition—that is, of disregard and opposition to law—has worked to our injury, how it presses upon us with a heavy hand at the present mo ment, and threatens our future welfare,— And we discover also the parties or inter ets who ate. in this connection, chargahle with guilt. The picture is dark and gloomy enough to create both abhorance and fear. Unfortunately there is no certainty of the amendment of affairs by parties of adtntnts trations now in possession of power Ihe abolitionist stands implacable and insolent as of old, and gives perverted direction to the war. The Republican party, incapable and prone to abuse, has control of the Feder al Government and of most of the b'ate G v --ernments north and west., and the Confeder ate Government, inimical to reunion, holds position in the South. From none of these can we expect the firm establishment of Un ion. order, liberty and law. W ; are not to look to the guilty for salvation, uor to those who break the laws for their restoration— The Abolitionist, the Secessionist, and the Republican Administration and party, have each gone away from the laws of the laud, and it is because of their unfaithfiilttew to I duty that wasting war and the other evil* before mentioned affict the country. It is idle to expeci from either the restoration of good government, and a firm Union based upon the affections of the people. But for all the wrong that has been done, and for all ttfe consequent, calamities that have fallen upon us, the great majority ot the people of the United States are not re sponsible—at least not responsible in the B"nse of having intended thsm. And there can he no question that if that majority could now act directly and fully upon public ait airs, thoy would decree immediate peace, union and lawful rule as they existed in for mer times, and w0..1d put down, or put aside, all who would venture to oppose, or would seek to delay, the realization of Ihese great objects. The Abolitionists proper nev er commanded a majority, even in the North ; the Republican party was in a minority of nearly a million ot votes at the Presidential election ot 18G0, and it is believed that a ma jority of the Southern people were opposed to secession even after that election, and abandoned their Unionism reluctantly, un der the pressure of subsequent events. In poin of fact, active, earnest minorities North and South, have seized power and controlled the course of events, and the great mass of the people have appeared tube unab|e to direct their own destinies and se cure their own welfare. JTney were prepar ed at the outset of the rebellion to have maintained peace by some settlement '} ex is ing difficulties, arid if the Crittenden Com promise had been submitted to them it would have been promptly and gladly ac cepted. But the occasion was permitted to pass by ihose who could have unproved it War came, and for more than two years a great, intelligent and free people, most ear nestly desiring peace, have been slaughter ing each other, accumulating enorrmus bur dens of debt to press irp ei themselves and upon future generations, and have not \ei been able to extricate the uselves fr m the difficulties fhat sut round tin in. * W hat then is the remedy lor the s e evils? Oit would think that he who runs might read it. Surely our experience should light up the road of safety, and cause willing feet to turn away In in the paths of error to tread it, Ihe remedy is, to call to places of power the men who have kept the laws, a-.d to eject from power those who have broken them. The right of suffrage yet exists. li has not been stricken down by military foice, and it remains to us as the great in . strument of sovereign power prepared by the care and wisdom of our ancestors not only lor prosper'Us tunes but als > for the days of mis-govermneiit and calamity. By wisely exercising it, we m ty yet redeem our fume and sectiwe the future. The Democracy of Pennsylvania stand up "ii this necessary and rigntfui principle of public niTals and national red-inptinn : The restoration and the s .yporl of oil the la as of the land us they were agreed upon be tween the States, or hare been emu led by Congress. This excludes all nullification, ecvssion, proclamation law, arbitrary arrests a bolt! 101 l luobs, and Cmcago platforms. But it is not inconsistent with the repeal or atiienclment of the Constitution. The power of amendment is ii&elf a lundamental law, and an invaluable feature of our system. With a good cause and with candidates worthy of our cause, we stand up once more HI this Commonwealth and invoke the favo* of the people, our party has not struck at the Constitution, nor broken the laws, tior evok ed the demon of sectionalism, nor been in any lespect unlaitliful to those vows of un ion which our fathers pledgid to the people of our sister States. The words ol faith pro nounced on behalf of Pennsylvania by the Clymers, McKeans and Ingersolls of former limes, we have kept, and we intend to keep theO. in letter and spirit unto the end. What is proposed is, that this State shall, j at the coining election, take a front rank in a general movement of the Central States for i the redemption of the country from misrule,, and wasting war. and impending bankruptcy, and lr >m utter disgrace. New York, New Jersey, Ohio, Indiana and Illinois, and the border States south of these, can stand up with us, and agree with us in uttering the words which will save the future from the grasp ol ruin. And let it be said i The sectional Republican party shall go down—shall be voted out of power. All laws shall be kept, and kept as well by President as by citizen. No proclamation-made law. No arbitrary arrests. N<> Basiiles. No suppression of the press or of free Rpeech* No confiscation of private property except for crime judicially ascertained. No emancipation by Federal power, or at the expense of the Federal power, or at the expense of the Federal Treasury, The laws of war shall he observed. The Confederate Government must retire from the Scene, and its armies be disbanded or put down* The Confederate debt fo be the concern of the States which incurred ii. The Union shall be perpetual, and shall bo declared so. The recent legislation of CuDgress shall bo ! reviewed and corrected T.ie public d bt of the United States shall be honestly paid. No duties or taxes except for revenue. A convention of all or three-fourths of the States shall hp convened. Ihe Constitution shall expressly provide in the very machinery of government, a power of defence against sectional parties. Reduced to their simplest expression, these declarations sign fy that we shall stand to law and d' ty, and provide against future dangers. And if they, or the substance ol them were distinctly end.-rsed and held up to public contemplation by the States ju*i mentioned, can any doubt that the effect pro duci d would be immediate and extensive and salutary ? The end would then come into view, and its certainly would accelerate events, and give them proper directi >n. We would have a question of weeks or o' months, instead of years or of an indefinite period in reaching the dav of relief. And when reached, the adjustment of our troubles would be complete and grramenY differing in bub these respects from a result achieved by force alone. It ought not to be our desire, an I it is ii<>r our interest, to make a Hyti or a Poland ot '.he S' nth. But it is not here proposed to discuss gen erally the question of the war or the question ot llie reconstruction of the Union, hut to present the yoßi.ions of parties with r.fer et'Ce to the principle ot lawful rule. Ami the point msinted upon is, that a party faith ful to law and duty iuu*t take possesion ol public power before we can terminably ex peCL a jnl and honorable peace, firm reunion and enduring safety. Let tins thought sink deeply into the minds ot tne people, and they will restore the Democratic pur.y to power, and will put. down the guiliy and lawless lac tions who haveabustd their Confidence ami betrayed tlieu hopes.

TETIMS: 51.50 BZ*. ANNUM AX UGLY KBCOKU. THE ABOLITION CANDIDATE FOR JUDGE OF ' 'THE SUPREME COURT IV FAVOR OF NEGRO SUFFRAGE. The Uniuntown Genius of Liberty erposn ihe Course of Judge Agnew in the Flat >rm Convention on the quetti.ni of negro suffrage. It should deprive titiu of the Vote of ev*rv tr.an 111 ihe State who be eves that our five white ancestor.- limned <>ur instittumns f r liee white uien and their descendants fircv r. We quote from the Genius: " The Republicans nave been as unfortu nate in the nomination of Judge Agnew- a* in that of Governor Curtin. He was a member* of ihe Constitution of 1838 ; an I his course m tliat body on the questi. n of necro suf frage was such as will U ot very strongly com nieiid him to the favor of white men. '• It is known that under the Constitution of 11 JO it was a in ore i question whetner colored men were entititled to vote. In some pa.ts of the they were allowed to exer cise the right, aid in others it was denied them. In the Convention of 18.38, called to amend the Consti.ution, n was proposed to put this question at rest by couflnimng the elective franchise to white men only. With this view .Mr. Martin, ot Pniladelphia, on the I of June, ]B3<, offered the following pro vis . to the 3d article: ' Provided, aim, That the rights of an election shall in no ease ex'/md to others than free white male citizens.' "Oil this proviso the yeas and navs wero called, and Juhge Agiiew voted age ist it and Judge Woodward the present Democrat ic candidate for Governor, who was also u uieiuer of tfie Convention, voted for it I lie proviso was lost.- -(Debates, vol. 3d page 91. } "O.i the 17th of January, 1838, Mr. Mar tin renewed his effort, by moving to insert the word ' while' among the qualifies''ons for voters. Upon this motion a long and akin debate ensued, Judge Woodward taking an active and leading part in favor of the inotior> and against negro suffrage. On the 2Uth of January a vote was taken on the motion, by yeas and nays, and the word 'white' as in* -erted ir ilie third article of the Constitution Judge Agnew Voting ngainst it and Judge Woodward fur it (Debates, vol. 10 page 10G ) lo tfiat motion, thus carried against tho opposition of Judge Agnew, we owe the fact mat negroes are uoi to day Voters in Peua sylvama. "An attempt was subsequently made to COIII nine the right of suffrage to those negroes who had before ex rei e.l it; and for this Judge Agnew voted, on the principle that ' halt a loaf is better than no bread.' Judgs Wooo ward voted against it. i ins is the man lor whom white men are asked to vote. Had he succeeded in making iKgii.es voters, his chances hf election would now be pretty fair ; but as white men are, through the effoi ts of men like Judge Wood waid, alone invested with the invaluable right • I suffrage, it is not likely that Judge Agnew w ill e.er reach the Supreme Delicti. We cannot reliant from giv.ng the con cluding paragraph ola powerful speech made in the Couveiittui by Judge Woodward on fhi- qu.stiou ol negro suffrage. I am sure the i-ober sense of citizens would be outraged by a decision that negp>es are to vote, and this will be decided if you fiject the amendment. At no stage of our inston have our people been willing to give 'belli this right, and now let us not cflend 'gaui-t nature,and do violence to the neral feeling, by saving that in all time to come they S'iall p..s-ess it Let us not leohce the inestimable light of suffrage to this deg radation, lest the people spurn it from them, as unworthy any longer of their affections, but let us preserve and bequeath it as we have inherited it, and then posterity will have no reproaches for our memories.

In the first place, JefF Davis has the most negroea, ten to our one, and in the second p'acc, ho Knows best how to handle them—as home master knows more of negro nature than master sent from abroad. But between the two kings, alas tor the poor negro.

If that could only be done there would be a jubilee iiuemg the whites everywhere, while the question of slavery would be settled,as hu manitarian questions generally are, by tlio extermination of the negro on both sidcs-~ the one by the other.'
