Plood, Jefferson county, The mob spirit igain revived. At various tunes, during the past two yilfT we have been informed the abolitionists of this place, and elsewhere had declared their intention to mob and destroy our office—We of course paid no attention to these silly vaporing?, well knowing, that the white liv •red, black-hearted sneaks flare not attempt to carry oat their nefarious design?. Not having heard anything from them, for sever al-weeks poet, we concluded they had .got ashamed of themselves and their idle threats. It seems wo were mistaken. The project was revived a few evenings since, in one of the places, in town where these black birds moot do congregate." Several of them, among which was the little busted conscript, declared themselves ready to enur upon the infamous work of " mobbing and destr<>}'inp our press." We would once for oil, just intimate to these shops that this matter of mobbing Pemonrstie printing offices, with impunity, is afcoot played out; and that they had better not attempt it unless they want " certificates" that will not only exempt them " from this particular draft " but fcr all ethers likely to eceur. Freaks of the Draft. The fickle Dame, Fortune, ha* cut some queer pranks in her distribution, of what the abolitionists, facetiously, terms- the " prize?," in Lincoln'* lotteiy. We record a few 'which have come to our nonce. Strange as it may seem, a largo majority of those clrawn in this county are Democrats—tho so called "ey input luster s with Jen". Davis I" lluw, even blind Fate, could have been so stupid as to select any other than " Loyal" men to go and fight, passes oar comprehension. Per haps, however, it is arranged that " L"\al" men only, shall fight; while the " copper heads" are culled upon to foot the bill. We shall see. The prnyers of all the abolition war howling preachers have availed them not; for we find that two of these beauties are in the train of conscripts. They will now have n good opportunity to practice what thev have preathed. If they think, as we are informed they do, that nigger soldiers are better than white ones, we would sug gest that they be put into a niggtr Regi ment, that they may suffer no loss of honors by an association with the "cowardly whites.'' We hope too, that Old Abe is already pro vided with enough old experienced chaplains, to a-t-e-a confiscate, all the pitchers, plate and silver ware of the rebels, as fast as our army reaches it, so that these two, di vintly annointed, blood thirsty fellows .vill find nothing to do but to steal niggers and fight. A good strong pull was made upon Mar tin Sickler, who was drafted, as well, where ne was,—in Fall*—as where he wasn't--in Overficld. • This was also the case with Charles Mahon, who had two (l tickest," one in Ovcrfield and one in Tunkhatin->ck Town ship. As tho former has lately taken a wife, it is suggested that ho may duplicate him self and comply with the law hy going him self, where he is, and having his "better-half' fake his place, where lie isn't. The case of Mahon who has no wife, is more difficult. Both doubtless feel, that Fortune, not only smiled upon them, but actually snickered right out. Michael Clinton whose parents reside in Meshoppen, but who has not, as we learn, lor the past five years, been in that Town ship, more than twelve hours at a time, was drafted at that place. He, too, doutbless leels that he had the benefit of at least two chances in this " Lotteiy." Myron Calkins of Monroe, —aged 44 years,—a married man, with a family, has 1 smiled" up-n, just a* though he had been a young man. Quite a number of other old chaps have received this swee' " smile," and an invitation to take a trip to Troy. In the cases of the two Macti's and Ryan, of Nicholson, the good dame, has "smiled" up.-n three of Queen Victoria's, Mubjecis—men who have never renounced their allegiance to her Majesty, nor declared their intention to do so. Tins rather cool draft from the North has developed almost all the latent diseases ami ailments, wtiich flesh is heir to. A remarkable case has turned up, not a thousand miles from this p'ace, of a big, little, old, young man, who. being one of the abolish, we supposed would follow the example of Billy Button, nnd get off on the ground that tho " cause of potato would suffer." 111 his fright he seems to have forgotttcn 'hi* dodge of Billy's. Though he has labored uudustriuusiy fur the p*t fifteen years, to induce some fair damsel t believe him a sound bottle of porter, and take him as such ; yet in an unguarded m inent, he has disclosed the fact, 'hat during all this time, he tias been badly busted.— The governmen' of course, will not take hun for a soldier ; and we hardly think, any white woman will take him for a husband. Taken all in al., this draft is funny , very funny, indeed! Let's all take a— ' oinue." Another Conscript Decision. The Provost Marshal General has recen'lv decided thai a man drafted lai fall, and fur nishing a substitute for nine months, is enli tied to exemption from the recent draft nndt-r the Conscription act provided rhe substitute was in the service o-i the 3rd of March last. Better late than never. Common sense called for this rtrie at the commencement of the conscript draft, btr there was not brains sufficient among the Abolition bunglers at Washington, to determine it at that time. It is announced, now, after hundreds ot tnen in this district have been wrougei out nf §3OO -as commutation, or for substitutes,- Will that money be refunded? Justice -ays it ought to to be, and perhaps it will be, but when ? The administration of the c icript act, by the managers at Washington, has been like the doings of the Lincoln dvnasty, ch-ricter: ized by features that c-ndeinu "the powers that be" as wh->llv unfit to conduct the Gov ernment, and should induce the people to make change at the earliest day possible.— Jefiersonian. MAJ. GERAGE W. WOODWARD. —Among the Washington news items in the New York Neics we notice the following r " The camp of the Invalid Corps, at Meri dian Hill, Washington, is under the com mand of Maj. George W. Woodward, the son of the Democratic candidate for Governor of Pennsylvania. The corps now c mprires nine thousand men Major Woodward is en gaged in forming them into regiments," Major Woodward, although he his distin guiriied himself in several battle* with the rebels, is nevertheless, like his distinguished father, considered a "Copperhead" by the Aboitioniatß. JKT The New York Post a Republican Journal, in descanting upon the probable eflect or war upon slavery, says ; "If Slavpry ia to be contrnnrd in this country we want the Irish snd Catholics to take tho piaco of tho negroes, and let the more intelligent snd more vtrfuous blacks be liberated." For the Democi at. To J. DEWITT ESQ * DEAR SIB My attention h&3 beun called to an article over your rignatnre, in the Democrat of the 15tb inst. latu glad that you have relieved mo of the solicitude of desiring to ( know wh<> wrote the prerendel " review" of ray sor mon, by acknowledging yourself as its ostensible au thor. Ido not design in the present letter to dis cuss the question of slavery, lest I should anticipate what I ini-y hereafter wish to say on that subject; but there uro some things in your articles which I deem to bo personal, and which iu justice to myself call for a brief reply. It is not for me to judge of the motives by which you were prorapto i in writing them. Did you write the first for tho purpose (i f cresting a prejudice against me in the mind of some of the people whom I endeavor to serve as a minis ter ; or was it to exhibit your •' legal 1 re and logic al acumen 7" Did you write the second to darken counsel, or '* to make the worse appear the better argument'" or to show what a nice distinction there is between tweedledc and tweedledum 7 I consider your onslaught on me as uncalled for, and ungentle manly If you did not agroo with the statements made in my sermon why did you not seek a private interview with me, that we might compare notes, interchange views on the point? at issue. lam not so ig.iorant as to suppose that I am infallible, nei ther am I so obstinate as to bo invulnerable to argu ment, But instead of this yi>u come out with u three columned article in the Democrat, under a flaming, false, and slanderous caption, name .jf: " B|B>WNS COMBK'S ABOLITION SERMON." NOW sing us to "do no harm," and to "avoid evil of every kind." We therefore affectionately admonish nil our Preachers an! Peo ple to c.ecp themselves free from this great evil, and to seek its extirpatiou by all lawful and christian means." To tho abovo doctrine I mo3t heartily subscribe. And I ask ; are we as ministers to be aouscd. dogg d, and stigmatized, because we preach tho doctrines which we most sincerely believed Arc we to be gagged and denounced by trickling politicians, and aspirants for offic-, because we come in contact with doctriues which they advocate for party and selfish purposes 7 Some of the worst of tyrauts are those who cl .mor the most for freedom of speech. I have 'learned that troodoin of speech with many of this class means nothing more than ficsdum to aay what they profess to believe. But it wasonly because the Editor of the Repub lican. who did not hear it (the sermon) and who did not pretend to give any of the pretended arguments, while he pronounced on Hearsay evidence a "clear refuta ion" of tho Bishop's loiter that it WAS deemed worthy of notice " Mirabile dictu ! And hence I must bo dragged before the public in a lengthv, one sided, and d'scourteous article, because forsooth the Edi tor of the Republican assumed tho responsi bility of noticing niv sermon in his paper. Are yon really sincere in making tho ahove statement? I can hardly believe it, and especially when yon nd.t, "that perhaps the indorsotaent of the Republican hardly rendered it worthy of attention." Why then did you notice it? was it your "vanity" which prompted you to thia work of supererogation 7 Why did you not publish tbe sermon as well as the so-call ed review, that those of your readers who did out hear it, might have the opportunity of judgt g for themselves? You certainly are very modest in as turning that you are more competent to ju Igo of ar gument than those persons who har.| the sermon and furnished the Editor of the Republican with his information. You charge ine with exhibiting myself rather than my subject—this is very charitable —and preaching myself rather th in Christ. You are undoubtedly very competent to ju Igo, as to what constitutes, preaching Christ* You complain of my wint of magnanimity in chal lenging you to a discussion of a question whi h from mv position I ain supposed to bo conversant with, and also for so framing the question as to place the party challenged in the affirmative You presume in the aoove that I knew who wrote the " review," and that I w is oogoizint f yonr ac cording o your own confession—to • li-epss the ques tion proposed. In this you are mistaken. This plea for symfathy may be very "magnanimous,' but it comes with ill grace from one who has at least in directly thrown down tbo gauntlet It witl not. my dear sir, serve your purpise or relieve you from your dilemma. Was it rot my prerogative to frame the qt estion as I pleased? Let us analyzo, nd see what just cause you have for complaint. Did you not attack me in your attempt at defending the Bishops positions, and does not the Bishop affirm that " the slavery of the negro race, as maintained in the Southern States is fully authorized both in the Old and the New Testament?" I framed my question in harmony with this assumption. This you concede when you say " Does the question pro posed by the Elder differ in any way from the one discussed by tbe Bishop?" Most certainly not; and for this reason, I insist upon it you havo no ground for complaint. Do you believe the Bishop's doc trine or do you not ? if you do, why net te honora ble enough to declare it ? if you do not, then have the honesty to confess it. Why do you desire to change the question ? Why not accept it and thus continue to share in the Bishop's glory ? Why this pettifogging'? liy aside the lawyer and for onco, follow the monitions of conscience. The subterfngo to which you resort, by requesting a change in the form of the question, is n exhibition of your want of confidence in the Bishop's arguments and in tho pro slavery creed which you profess to believe. This is not marvelous, yonr better judgment undoubtedly teaches yon, that slavery is a great evil and should bo abolished. Throw off the restraints of tbe politi cian, espouse tho causo of human liberty, speak a favorable vrord for the oppiessed, and not place your self in antagonism to mercy, truth, and righteous ness. But yon ask why Ido not reply to the Bish op's argument ? This I did briefly in my sermon lam now waiting for you—who wtth so much mag nanimity volunteered to aid the Bishop—to resume tho subj ct, end thus famish a: an opportunity of bringing forward those passages of scripture which j you charge me with not producing. I wish to add that a reply to the Bishop's pro-slavery, political tract, or sermon, baa een published in the Philadel phia Inquirer of the 2nd inst. lam astonished at yuur audacity in supposing that I would stultify myself by consenting to accept your proposition, to discuss a question which would require me to prove a negative. You are wonder fully " magnatiiinous" in asking me to prove th it American Slavery is not consistent with tho Bi ble. It will he sufficient for me to show that it is not consistent or " inconsistent" with the Bible, when you shall have proved that it is. Do yon accept of my invitation, or do you refuse t It is for you to elect. I am thankful that you concede at least by impli cation, that Slavery is a Bible question, and comes within the sphere of ministerial duty. Let this con- | cession be forever a protest against the hue and cry ria*ed by you and your sympathisers, that the ques tion of slavery is purely political and therefore should not be introduced into the pulpit. If it be purely political why do Bishop Hopkins and his pro- j slavery brethren attempt to prove that it is right, from the Bible. Your statement as to the propriety ef discussing the question of slavery—and the arguments with which you attempt to defend this statement surprise me. " Improper !" to discuss the question of slave ry ! I suppose it was not •' improper" for a few pro si a very politicians to request " the right to publish" a pro-slavery pamphlet written by a pro slavery Bishop,'and entit od " Bible View of Slavery ?" You undoubtedly deem it very proper, and the acme of patriotism to circulatu this same pro-slatery pam phlet as a political tract ? It is supremely right ac cording to a certain class of political philosophers to advocate that slavery is a Bible institution, but supremely wrong to show that it is not. These gen tlemen are certainly very liberal in conceding to ministers the liberty of preaching what they—the politicians—deem to be right. But woe to the min ister who steps beyond the boundary thus fixed—de nunciations, threatenings, and persecutions await him. You remark that " the institution of slavery is older than our government, recognized by it." "It is therefore to be regArde i as consistent with the Bi ble, until proved otherwise-" Let us test this argu ment. A'as not the slave tr.#de, older than eur gov ernment, and was it not recognized by it, but was it consistent with >he Bible 7 Rumcelling and gamr bling are older than our government, the former is legalized tn m ist, if not all, of the Stat -s, and the latter in some of them ; are they therefore to be recognized as consistent with the B'ble until proved otherwise 7 You appear to take it for granted that no law can exist in this country which is proved to be inconsistent with the Bible. Is this a fact 7 Slavery sir has been shown a thousand times to be inconsistent with the Bible. The verdict of nearly the whole civilized world is against ib<; and the dif ferent branches of the Christian Church protest against the righteousness of American slavery.— Public sentiment on this as well as on other sub jects is progressing. The clamor and opposition? raise ! for pirtisin purposes cannot arrest it. "Sun stand still," is not the watch-word of the christian and the phi 1 inthroptsf. I have only to add in conclusion, that I have nei ther time nor disposition to devote to any mere of your wanderings. If you do not consent to discuss tho question proposed, I shall on my part dismiss the subject nless duty should demand ex planation in self defence.
