TEE CONTEST ConEs.-The last Pom

TEE CONTEST CoNEs.-The last Pony
brings the gratifying intelligence that the
troops of the Republic are marching against
its enemies. Virginia is occupied by Fede-
ral troops, who are pushing On rapidly to
suppress the maddcned mobs who have ris-
en- in various parts of the South in viola
ton of law and order. The campaign is
begun, to end, we have no doubt, in the
restoration of peace to every corner of the
nation. The ports of the South are to be
sfectually blockaded by the navy, and from
the East and the West vast armies will un-
doubtedly be precipitated upon the rebels in
the seaboard States as well as in the Valley
of the Mississippi. The energies of the Gov
ernment are not half called forth as yet, but
the spirit that is aroused is sufficient to
oyerrun the belligerent States in a few
months and hold them subject to the dis
position of the Union men therein. When
snee the tyranical compression of secession
rule is removed by the strong arm of legit-
innate authority, the Union sentiment now
subdued by threats and violence will revive
And restore the reign of loyalty and peace
Wherever Union men exist it is the duty oi
the Government to give them support by
every means in its power. That the people
of the South are overawed by horde o.
desperate demagogues and thieves is beyond
II ;c hA will of the Government
to put An end to the reign of terror in 6
summary manner. The armies of the Re-
public are moving forward in the sacred
cause of freedom, and they must prevail.

based on old issues. In other words, i
the Union movement fails these men will

The UNITED STATES, UNIFORM, UNION, UNI
PARTY.-Oliver N. Tomlinson, Esq, gen
tleman celebrated for his patriotic endeav-
ors in prose and verse, as well as elocution-
ley blast last Monday evening. The old
patriot reports that little respect was paid
him by the secessionists at our sister town
No disposition was shown to give him q
chairman or the neces sary lights. But the
providential presence of wagon, served
for one and few bits in the orators pock-
cts procured the other. Nobody being po-
lite enough to introduce the speaker, he
told them positively and emphaticaliy who
he was and on what great errand he had
come. Proceeding he declaimed at length q
high toned speech the elocution and ges-
tionary parts of which had been perfected
by two weeks severe training on the top o.
the Sugar Loaf. The gist of the whole ap-
pears to have been, that the country was
going to the demnition bow-wows unless Q
United States, Uniform, Union, Unity party
was organized right off.
We understand Mr. Tomlinson will ad.
dress the citizens of North San Juan on hi:
favorite theme at an early day. We be-
speak for him respectful hearing from
our friends at the latter place. If consist.
ent with the dignity of the place, it woult
delight our townsman to have the celebrat
ed Cambrian Troupe sing one ofthe old pa
triot's stirring songs on the occasion.

Correspondence of the Journal.

ALLEGHASYrowN, June 4th, 1881.
Last Saturday was quite gala day in thi.
town, on account of flag raising, which col
lected any amount of Union loving men from
all the towns around. At three o'clock, a. m
the Allegheny Band, assisted by four or five oi
the Forest City Band, was conducted in front
of the Allegheny Saloon by Mr.. Jourdan, the
Marshal, where the procession was formed
After marching to Cumberland, then back to
Smiths Flat, they marched to New York Point
where the flag staff is, and can be plainly seen
from both Allegheny and Cumberland. The
flag staff is I40 feet high, and the flag meas
ures 4ox26 feet.
On the arrival of the procession the flag,
which was rolled up in as small o parcel as
convenient, was raised, while the band played
one of the national airs. On its being unfurled
from the top of the pole such shout rent the
air as would have been sufficient to knock
down the "walls of Jericho"
Col. Platt from Downieville, the orator of the
day, then was introduced, and in an affecting
manner spoke for over two hours, eliciting the
heartiest of cheers.
Mr.. Betturs was then introduced; he sang q
very appropriate song for the occasion, after
which, the procession formed and marched to
Allegheny, and dispersed. At night there was
a ball at Mr.. Haskell's.
There was nothing to mar the enjoyment of
all, save an accident that happened to Griff Will
liams while firing of one of our mountain ordi-
nance, IAN anviD; the powder flashed up in his
face and set his shirt on fire; his hands and face
were badly scorched before tho fro could be
extinguished. He is doing as well as could be
expected.
Through Mr.. Freeman's exertions and partly
by the liberalty of the citizens, there is a very
easy graded road being made preparatory to
the stage passing through Wet Ravine, Allegha-
Dy and Cumberland. MAC.

WORSE THAN JUDAS.

If the annals of time can produce a case
of blaeker ingratitude and baser treachery
than that of Dudley Mann, we know not in
what page of history to find it. Promoted
to high office of trust by the Government,
be once travelled abroad as the secret conf
Dental agent of the United States. When
the Hungarians were struggling Dudley
Mann proceeded to the scene of difficulties
by order of his Government to see and re-
port upon the state of affairs. 1t was while
on this mission that theChevalier Hulseman,
Minister to the United States from Austria,
threatened in celebrated state paper, the
fate of a spy to Dudley Mann. Daniel
Webster was the American Secretary of
State. The spirit of the mighty American
was aroused. He replied in letter that
will long be remembered by his country
He unfolded the broad ensign of his country
over Dudley Mann on a foreign soil, and
told the Austrian Minister in bold language
not to be misunderstood, that let but a fin
ger of the power of the House of Hapsburg
be laid on Dudley Mann, and it would call
forth the whole military and naval power
of the United States to revenge the wrong
The whole nation thrilled with delight on
reading the spirited words that came from
the soul of the greatest man our country
ever produced. The American Premier
Ha ha oh 6
his government. 1t was no idle threat An
American citizen must be protected by his
Government at any hazard, at any cost
The Republic of the West must not be tri-
fled with. Such was the position our Nation
assumed toward the Empire of Austria
Dudley Mann from that moment was safe in
the dominions of Francis Joseph as on
American soil. Had the Government been
vacilla.ing, or pusillanimous, Mr.. Mann
might have suffered the fate of spy, been
incarcerated, like La Fayette in the dun
geons of Olmutz, or driven ignominiously
out of the country. The flag of his nation
was his sword and shield in the hour of
need. He escaped unharmed from Austrian
despotism. The world looked on and felt a
higher respect fer the American Govern
ment. The London Times declared it was
the first real exhibition of nationality by
the United States. By that act our Repub-
lie advanced in the respect of the powers of
Europe.
But there is dark side to the picture
Our Republic stands before civilized ma
tions growing brighter and brighter as dan
gers threaten. Her honor is not impeach-
ed, her national lustre not obscured But
where is the poor mortal, humble and in
significant as he was, around whom the
@gis of his county was thrown in time of
danger and in such manner as never to
cease the gushing gratitude Of noble na-
ture, of patriotic heart? Dudley Mann
is the agent Of traitors in foreign land,
conspiring with those who sought his life
and against the glorious flag that defended
himl Oh, ingratitude, basest of crimesl
Can the records of shame produce paral-
lei? If so, we do not know it.

The UNION MOVEMENT A AFAILuRE.-Brother

The UNION MovEMKSTA AFAILURE.-Brother
Avery, of that able paper the Marysville
Appeal, in leader in that paper of the 5th
instant, announces his conviction that the
Union movement is a failure. The Repub-
licans are almost universally in favor of a
consolidated Union party, and few liberal
Douglas Democrats are so good as to favor
it too; but not single Douglas press will
commit itself to any thing but the old par
ty; and the bulk Of the voting population
do not take hold of the matter with that
spirit to insure success. The Appeal, there
fore, recommends to Republicans to stand
by their party organization and drop the
project of Union party. So far as the
movement has progressed it has been done
mostly at the expense of the Republicans.
Our cotemporary apologies in a manner
for what might be termed Inconsistency in
abandoning the proposed Union party or
ganization he favored, and returning to his
old allegiance. No excuse of the kind is
needed. We see no Inconsistency in the
course of the Appeal at all. 1t was, and we
presume would still be, in favor of prop
srly organized Union party, if it could be
constructed. But on trial, it has been found
the elements are too inharmonious and
sluggish to accomplish the great objec. in
time for the September election, without
running the great hazard of putting three
Union { ck,t' in the field. The Appeal, il
we could read correctly, has never pledged
itself unconditionally to support Union
ticket, unless it appeared to be fair one,
and had some show of success. Its course
has been straight and above-board and it
need not fear the charge of Inconsistency.
Doctor GwIN-Wm. NJ. Gwin, exU. S.
Senator returned on the last steamer to a
reception by his constituents as warm as
that which welcomed the immortal "Gosef
lain," of Oregon There are some rumors
and more surmises as to the probable course
the Doctor will pursue. The Doctors jig
is up in this State, emphatically. Politi-
eally, he is dead beyond the nope OF resur-
rection. In the present troubles of the
country new States have poor show for
settlement and coming into tie Union, and
the Doctor is old and cannot wait great
many years to represent new State in the
Senate. The prospect ahead for migration
is poor indeed. They know the old coon a
little too well in the niger Confederacy.
His presence there would create as fiery a
jealousy among the confederate thieves, as
the entrance of jeff. Davis into the internal
regions might produce in the breast of his
Satanic Majesty. The Doctor will hardly
migrate with the dismal prospects ahead for
dealing remuneratively in sound cur
rency.
