raer which the act no studiously applies to
the militia—some reason that deserves to
stand instead of Magna Charta, our Constitu
tion, and all our traditional freedom.
The only one that I have ever heard 6ug
gested, and which is applicable against all the
views advanced in this opinion, is called mili
tary necessity. The country is involved in a
great civil war which can be brought to an
honorable close by an energetic use of all our
resources, and no restraint should be tolerated
in 6uch circumstances, save only those which
christian civilization has imposed on all war
fare* "Whatever is according to the Constitu
tion, the argument claims, may be done, of
course—whatever is over and beyond the Con
stitution is justified as military necessity, and
of that the President and Congress are exclu
sive and final judges.
The amount of argument is that the exi
gencies of the times justify the substitution
of martial law for the Constitution. But what
's martial law ? Blackstonc and Sir Mathcw
Hale tells us " It is built upon no settled
principles, but is entirely arbitrary in its do
cisions, is in truth and reality no law, but
something indulged rather than allowed as
law." The unrestrained will of one or a
number of men, then is the rule the argument
substitutes for the Constitution. It is of no
con6equenco that the will thus set up for su
preme law is that of men whom a majority of
the people have chosen, because according to
our system the majority can only choose men
to administer to Constitution as it is written.
Majorities, as a power recognized by law,
lave no more right to establish a despotism
than a minority would have. But by ma
jority thas 6et aside the Constitution under
pressure of rebellion and insurrection.
As the Constitution anticipates and pro
vides for such calami ties, it is a reproach to
its wisdom, to say that it is inadequate to
such emergencies. No man has any histori
cal right to cast his reproach upon it. No
cuirent experience proves it. It never can
be proved except by an unsuccessful use of
the legitimate powers of the Constitution,
against rebellion, and then the thing proved
will be that the instrument needs amendment,
which its machinery is flexible enough to al
low. Even such a melancholy demonstration
would do no more than point out necessary
amendments—it would not surrender the peo
ple to the arbitrary will of anybody. Presi
dents or Congressmen are only servants of
the people, to do their will, not as that will
may be expressed under passion or excitement
but as it stands recorded in the Constitution-
It is the Const tution indeed which makes
them Presidents and Congressmen. They
have no more power to set up their will
against the Constitution, than so many pri
vate citizens would have. Outside of that
they are only private citizens.
I do not therefore, feel the force of the ar
gument drawn from the distressing circum
stances of the time. Bad as they are, we
make them worse, by substituting arbitrary
power for constitutional rule, but if wt made
them better, or not worse, the judicial mind
ought not to be expected to approve the sub
stitution, for it can regcognize no violation of
the Constitution as a legitimate vindication
of the Constitution. To place ourselves un
der despotic 6way in order to bring back reb
ela to the Constitution we have given up, is
a procedure that perplexes the student of po
litical science, and will quite confound the
historian of our times.
There are other features of the conscript
law that deserves criticism, but not to ex
tend my opinion farther, I rest my objections
to its constitutionality upon these grounds.
Ist. That the power of Congresß to raise
and support armies, does not include the pow
er to draft the militia of the State.
2d. That the power of Congress to call
forth the milit'.a cannot be exercised in the
forms of thia enactment.
3. That a citizen of Pennsylvania cannot
be subjected to the rules and articles of war
until he is in actual military service.
4th. That he is not placed in sueh actual
service when his name has been drawn from
a wheel, and ten days' notice thereof has
been served upon liim.
For these reasons 1 am for granting the in
junction.
One of our government officials just
returned from Peru, tells us that among the
first and most frequent inquiries made of him
there about our public men was, whether he
knew or had ever seen the celebrated Ameri
can Chemist, Dr. J. C. Ayer of Lowell. His
remedies are found in every village from the
elevated slopes of the Andes down to the
coast, and their remarkable eurc3 seem to
attract even more attention than in this eoun
try. The sentiment of wonder at their effects,
takes a far deeper hold on a half civili zed and
superstitious people that it docs wi'h us
where the rationale of medical problems is so
much more generally understood. No other
American has made himself so familiarly
known to the masses of the people in foreign
countries or excited in them so lively an in
terest in himself as the Doctor has by his
skilful application of chemical science to *he
treatment of disease.
That must be a dull man who d es not fee)
some pride of country when be finds among
distant nations that he is already known and
welcome there, through the labors of out
Statesmen, Merchants and Scholars, whoss
renown has become national property, and
consequently in some measure his own
Whether Dr. Ayer'a remedies do actually
cure more than others or aot r they have se
cured the reputation of being a God send to
those afflicted with disease, and where great
numbers in any community believe that they
owe their health and lives to one's skill, they
are sure to feel an interest in him which will

Judge Woodward's Opinion on the Con
scription Aet.
We publish to day, to the exclusion of
much of our usual variety, the Opinion of
Justice \\ oodward of the Supreme Court of
Pennsylvania, on the Conscription Law cf
the last Congress. Three of the five Judges
composing the Supreme Court, concur in pro
nouncing the act unconstitutional ! It re
mains to be seen whether our federal rulers
will treat the highest judicial authority of
this state with the same contempt that they
have all the other reserved rights of the
Slates. It is more than probable that this
decision, like the Constitution itself, will be
treated by the powers at Washington as a
nulity.
Already steps are being taken to carry for
ward the second draft under this infnmous
and unconstitutional act. It matters not to
them that the experience of the past has
demonstrated, that not one in twenty of
those drafted got into the army. It has
brought into their coffers a few millions of
dollars—perhaps enough to prolong the war
a half dozen days—These millions have been
wrung out of the hard earnings of the poor
est of the poor. It leaves thousands of young
men just starting in the world, penniless and
in debt. Hundred;- of thousands of helpless
children will fcel its severity in their coarse
fare and diminished clothing. A few horse
contractors or shodey dealers will be enriched
out of the proceeds. The people have snb
mitted tamely to one violation after another
of their constitutional rights ; till it seems the
decisions of their supreme courts—the last
barrier between them and despotism in all
its hideousness, is broken down and violated,
The great living, throbbing heart of liberty
which once animated the bosom of Americans
seema to have been paralyzed. A sort of
dreamy stupor possesses the minds of men.
They know that their most aacrcd rights one
after another have been taken away, and yet
they submit to all as though it were a matter
of no consequence to them.
The able and convincing opinion of Jus
tice Woodward if carefully read and studied
cannot fail to arouse the people to a sense of
the danger which is threatening them. We
hope no man, woman or child into whose
hand it falls, will fail to give it that careful
perusal, candid and earnest reflection, which
its importance demands. It is so plain and
simple in style and language, that the merest
schoolboy cannot misunderstand it.
We are told at one moment that
no time for party organization, but for a Un
ion of all in support of measure to put down
the rebellion: yet the rebellion, and all oth
er questions, are made subordinate, to party
by these no party preaehers the moment
such n course is thuuget necessary for their
party iutirests. The New York Iribune of
the 4th thus speaks . "We must organize
now, in every city, county, cownship, ward,
for the Ilresibentia! contest of 1864.
The woolvheads, fearing the next
Presidential election, and meaning to run old
Abe again, are trying to make it appear that
he is opposed to the radical policy of the
abolitionists. This is done for effect, but it
will not go down. Old Abe is either too easily
influenced to know his own mind, or else he
is among the most radical of the land. Ilis
proclamation and speeches would indicate
that he was a mixture of both.

General Grant on the 23rd ult. gave battle
to the rebel Gen. Bragg, on Lookout moun
tain near Chataßoogs, and drove him from
his stronghold, with a loss it is said of near
6,000 men and 48 gans. Grant's loss is put
down at lesa than 4.000 men. Bragg at last
accounts was near Dalton to which place he
had ordered Gen. Longstreet. If this be true
Burnside, who has been cooped up by him at
Knoxville, will be relieved.
The ermy of the Potomac with supplies for
two weeks has struck boldly into the enemy's
country, not stopping to keep up his lines of
communication with Washington. No very
authentic intelligence has been reeceived from
it since Saturday last when it had crossed
the Rapidan. Gen. Lee is supposed to have
fallen back to preserve his lines of communi

battle was fought on Friday and Saturday
are not confirmed.
Escape of John Morean,
THE NOTED REBEL AND 61X OF HIS OFFICERS
BREAK OUT OF COLUMBUS JAIL.
COLUMBUS, Saturday, Nov. 23.
Major General John Morgan and six of his
officers—Captains Bennet, Taylor, Sheldon,
Haines, Hooker Smith and Magee—escaped
from the Ohio penitentiary this morning be
tween 2 o'clock and daylight.
John Morgan, on retiring, changed with
his brother Dick from the top cell to the low
er tier. The floor of the lower cell is two
and a half inches thick, in which a hole was
cut, under the bed, leading down into a two
and a half feet sewer, running to the main
wall around the penitentiary. This wall w
cut under, and the party escaped into the
open country. The night was dark, woth
heavy rain. All efforts are being made by
the authorities for his recapture.
Among recent captures of blockade run

A Lesson to Preachers.
The following extract from the pen of Ed
round Burke, might be given as a lesson to
men who pretend to be ministers ol the gos
pel ; but who, instead of preaching Christ and
' him crucified,' turn their pulpits into politi
cal rostrums, to dabble in the pool of partisan
strife.
" Politics and tbe pulpit are terms that
have little agreement. No sound ought to be
heard in the church but the healing voice of
Christian charity. The cause of civil lib
erty and civil government gains as little
as religion by this confusion of duties. Those
who quit their proper character to assume
what does not belong to them, are, for the
greater part, IGNORANT BOTH OF THE CHARAC
TER THEY LEAVE AND THE CHARACTER THEY
ASSUME. Wholly unacquainted with the
world in which they arc so fond of meddling,
and inexperienced in all its affairs, on which
they pronounce with so much confidence,
they have nothing of politics but the passions
they excite."
ATTEMPT OF PRISONERS TO ESCAPE FROM
JOHNSON ISLAND. —The Sandusky Regintc
says that four or five of the rebel prisoners
confined on Johnson Island made a futile at
tempt to escape from the enclosure, and
thence from tha island on Thursday night.
They were discovered in time, and the at
tempt frustrated. The escape was attempted
by digging under the fence, but one of the
party stuck fast, and what with the mud and
water, he attracted the attention of the guard
and was secured, as well as the others who
had already passed through.
THE RUSSIAN FETE. —As the ovation and
ball given in New York, last week, in honor
of the officers of the Russian fleet, now in
that harbor, is one which may leave its
traces on centuries, to come, we give for the
sake of history, and account of the principal
edibles used, viz: Twelve Shon6and oysters
—IO,OOO poulette and 2,000 pickled; 12
monster salmon—3o pounds each ; 1,200

1,000 pounds of tenderloin ; 100 pyramids of

HIGH PRICE OF PAPER. —Paper is once

from ten to twelve cents. Rags are also in

CIRCULAR NO. 101. —As complaints have
been made that errors have occurred in the
enrollment of the National forces by the
omission of persons whose names should have
been enrolled, and by the addition of names
of persons who by reason of alienago, and for
other causes ought not to have been enrolled,
and as it ia desirable that the Department
should have such information as may be nec
essary in order to do full justice to all parties,
it is hereby ordered.
1. That the Board of enrollment of each
District shall have printed lists of the names
and residences of all persons enrolled in each

deem neeessary. Names will be placed upon
these lists in alphabetical order.
2. Public notice will be given by adver

newspapers, that any person enrolled may
appear before tbe Board and claim to have
his name stricken off the list, if he can show
to the satisfaction of the Board that he is not,

and making the requisite notes to perfect the
enrllment list.
5. Boards of Enrollment will hear cases,
as proaded in paragraph Ist, until December

we are to take them cordially by the hand

PREPARE roa A SEVERE WINTER— The St.

The weather prophets say that people may

There will be more cold days—the Mercury
will run lower, and the snow be deeper, than
before, since 185-7. This is the first fall since
1857 that the brook troot have commenced
leaving the small creeks for deep boles as
early as September, and first season since
then that the muskrats have double walled
their little hillock homes. These and certain
orher infallible signs, known to the sports
man and hunter, indicate a winter of amwual
severity, it is thought by many that the riv

Incorrect*
The telegraphic despatch from Ithaca an
nouncing the death of Peter Walsh, Esq.,
published by us and other papers in tho
county last week, we arc glad to learn, was
incorrect. When a man telegraphs that a
person died at his house," giving the time,
cause and circumstances, it is generally con

without civil wisdom or military skill, with
out a consciousness of any other quafication

pride and arrogance, and calling for battlea
which ho ie not willing to fight."

The Hibew Corpus.
T. Babington Macauly, the great English
historian, m speaking of King James the Sec
ond, the tyrant whom the English people ex
pelled from the throne in 1688, says :
" One of his objecfs was to obtain a repeal
of the habeas corpus act which he hated, as
it is natarsi a tyrant shook! hate the MOST
STRINGENT CURB THAT EVER LEGIS
LATION IMPOSED UPON TYRANNY.—
The feeling remained deeply fixed in his mind
to the last, and appears in the instructions
which he drew up, when in exile, for the
guidance of his son. But the habeas eorpns
act, though passed during ihe ascendency of
the Whigs, was not more dear to the Whigs
than the Tories. It is indeed, not wonder
ful that this great law should be highly priz
ed by ail Englishmen, without distinction of
party ; for it ia a law which not, by circuitous,
but by direct operations, adds to the security
and happiness of every inhabitant of the
realm,"
We don't think he hated the act more than
our President and Cabinet do at the present
time.

" THE AGE" will advocate the principles and poii l
cy of the Democratic party, and will, therefore, neo
essarily favor the restoration of the I'nion as it wan
and defend the Constitution of the United States,ard
that of this Commonwealth.
It will freely and fairly discuss all legitimate sub
jects of newspaper comment, including of course, and*
pre-eminently at this time, all questions connected
with the existing unhappy condition of our ountry.
It will fearlessly criticise the public actsof publis
servants, and defend the legal and constitutional'
rights of individual citizens ana of sovereign stater,
against assunlts from any quarter.
It will seek to awaken the minds of the people t
a proper sense of the a>-tuat condition of the Repub
lic—to present to them, truthfully, the fearful perils
in which we stand as a nation —to exhibit the magni
tude of the task that is before them, if they would
check our downward progress—and to inspire thein
with patriotic determination to apply THE REMEDY
for our national ills.
In brief, it will, in all things, aim to l the faith
ful exponent of Democratic principles, aod to render
itself worthy to be an organ of the Democratic par--
ty, under whose auspices our country prospered eo
long and so well. The restoration of that party—
the party of the CONSTITUTION and the UNlON—to
power, in the legislative and executive governmen
tal branches of the States and of the Union, we be
lieve to be necessaryto avert anarchy, and the utter
ruin of the Republic. To contribute to thai restore
tion will be our highest aim.
The News, Literary, Commercial, and other de
partments, will receive due attention, and will be eo
conducted as to make "THE AGE" worthy of the
support of the general reader.
The many difficulties now surrounding an en
terprise of the magnitude of that in which the under j
signed are engaged, require them to appeal to the
public for a generous support, and to ask for " TUB
AGE" a libera! patronage and extended circulation.
The present state of the preparatory arrangements
warrants the expectation, that the first number of
the Daily will appear before the close of the coming
moath, (February,. 1863.) The Weekly will be is
sued soon thereafter.
