The Democratic tHarrisbuig) Union, in commenting
upon the legitimate fruits of the infamous doctrines whc
Gov Johnston has been promug eating throughout the
State for several months past says; He took his stand
on the side OF the abolition agitaors and consequently
their whole force has rallied to his support Here in
the county of Lancas,ewhere this terrible tragedy
has occurred-Gov Johnston made his first speech after
his nomination. and instead OF taking that high national
ground which every true patriot ought 10 occupy he de-
AIRED his opposition TO the lglyessve law in he fol-
lowing words lie said he never would have voted for
the fugitive slave law; but the law still within reach
OF amendment" 1t is just open to discussion and
modification the tariff act OF 1916" And in his Mercer
speech, Gov Johnston encouraged the negroes and abo
ltoniss resist the law, BY telling them be held IN his
pocket and would keep there the law granting tne use
OF prisons for the confinement of fugitive slaves In
addition all this, rhadeus Stevens has been traversing
Lancaster county, making speeches in favor of Gov
Johnston, and advocating the abolition doctrines
epleTiained by heg overnor.
Is H. therefore, 10 be wondered at that we find band
OF eighty negroes regularly organized and armed in Ian
caster county, ress, the execution of the law when
the governor OF the Commonwealth, and the member OF
Congress from the district, constantly aglating a re-
peal Of the law in ali their speeches.

A correspondent asks il the Union should not rather
answer Mr. Paudings letter than rdicnle IT, We reply
that we perceive in it nothing 10 but one sopbs
teal phrase Mr.. Paudlng arms that the right OF Sc
cesson is not rgh, to break up the government, but
right 10 withdraw beyond the necessity OF breaking il mp
and that this withdrawal may take place peaceaby and
in pursuance OF the constitution. This is his whole
gumen, and who fails 10 perceive that it is con.
fusion OF teuos' Fora community 10 withdraw beyond
the jurisdiction OF government is 10 set that government
a, naurbt Ito throw !, ofo break il upn word, TO
eaec, a revelation Thus and in other way, did the
American colonies by their revolutionary act withdraw
them selves from the jurisdiction OF England The only
question them is is there in this country general gov
eminent with delegated and specified powers but sove-
reign in lis sphere II there be- then the right OF seces
sion is the right Of revolution II there be not, then The
Union is rope OF sand This in orr judgment, IS the
only answer which Mr. Pdmd,ngs argument for the
right Of secession requires Upon the general question d
that right we shall have something TO say hereafter.
