recognition, might, therefore, be the secession
Of other States, and The final result, anarchy and
confusion To guard against such fnGlelet a
National Convention, composed, if you please,
OF none but delegates from the twenty three
loyal States, resolve that the doctrine OF secess-
ion is not deducble from the Constitution, that
as for the people of the twenty three loyal
states, they will remain together under the pres
ent Government, in obedience 10 lis laws and
IN support OF the Constitution, no matter if other
States shall withdraw theTefrom, and that the
union existing between the people of those
twenty three states shall be perpetual. This
would certainly prevent the heresy Of secession
from creeping into the remainder of the States,
should the Government ever, unfortunately,
find ii necessary TO acknowledge The ndepen-
dence of the eleven Seeded States. Let us,
therefore, take such precautionary steps, as, II
we cannot preserve the Union, will secure the
integrity and safety OF the states which still re-
main loyal TO the Government. II we cannot
save others, let US save ourselves.

Convention OF Iowa met at Dps Moines on the

COmnrehenling The South.

The New York Express thinks that-the late
battle should serve as lesson to the North, and
remarks
For the first time since the creation of, aud
success OF, the Geographical party of The North,
we begin to hope for our unhappy country
The Bull Run disaster has cheCkmated and Sir
fenced the madmen OF the North, and reason
and sense will now begin to have sway in the
Northern mind. The South is being compre-
hended-its force, its earnestness, its power, its
fanaticism, even, are understood. 1t is not
treason any longer-as it was IN March and A
pril-to tell our people, the South will fight,
means TO fight, can fight It is not treason 10
say that this is a terrible war, and q long war,
we are in, and that to wage It successfully, all
the men we can muster are necessary, and all
tl.e means we can raise, not alone through I'M
ports, bat by direct taxes II is not treason a
ny longer to doubt the inlalibilhy of admins
trations-ot President or Secretaries, or to dis
cuss points and principles, with the view OF
demonstrating what is best for the whole coun-
try. The question of discussion, now, is one Of
ge8s5 e8sf5HRRq RRe RqlaX qteR q f but prov6
men TO discuss. Events, alas too fatally, but
demonstrate the sagacity and foresight, and Sec
ond-sight, even OF the New York Express CT
these ten years past-and hence, as we record
history now, we have but to ask our readers to
re-read back files, for 10 them they have The
existing history.

A PEW PLAIN QUESTIONS,
To which The Public is Waiting fer an
Answer,

II is said that the panic on Sunday origina-
led with The teamsers, who were out Of place.
The Public asks-wbo placed then there
That the panic was aggravated BY alarms OF
gallery OF civilians, present 10 gee tile show.
The Public asks-who gave them passes
That many OF our officers were appointed TO
commands with which they were wholly unsc-
quanted.
The Public asks-who is responsible
That ignorant civilians were placed in com
mands which they disgraced.
The Public asks--who appointed .hem
That the senseless oburga!ions OF the Tribune
led TO premature attack.
The Public asks-who is so weak as TO be
influenced by GREELEY?
In word, evil does not do itself--some one
rs TO blame for it and the American people de-
mand to know whose short comngs have led TO
their disgrace.-Philada. laquirer.
A single name will answer all the above
queslons-some indirectly, but most of them
directly-viz ABRAHAM LINCOLN.

Another Extra Session Required,

WHEREAS, I, ANDREW G. CURTIN, the
supreme political ruler, and ex-ofico Cover
nor of the State of Pennsylvania in and out Of
my abundant wisdom, did short time since
call, convene, and hasten together al extra
session OF the august Legislature of this Com
monwealth, for the secret and ostensi5le pur-
pose of relieving the various rotten Banks OF
this commonwealth from tie notorious dilemma
they were then in, by allowing them 10 issue
small notes, and pay The same out lawful
ly instead o! specie, in order and for the ex-
press purpose Of Concealing the insolvency and
inability Of said Banks to pay specie for the
notes issued by them;
Now Know YE, That the said Legislature
is again forthwith convened; and this time
they are required to pass law allowing and
requiring said Banks to Issue notes of a Genor-
nation not exceeding SIX and one-fourth cents,
so that the fu! measure OF shin plasters NAV be
abundantly realized, and no man be wanting
OF change-it being most conclusvely evident
TO me that the present issue OF small notes has
driven all gold and silver out OF the country.
Done at my Mansion, at Harrisburg, this
22ad July, 1861.

A letter from Richmond, dated the 22d, says
that Congress met at noon, and after prayer :he
following despatch was read before that body :
Manassas Junction, Sunday night. IT e
night has closed upon tard-tought field. Our
forces were victorious. The enemy We're rou-
ted, aud pEeciphaley abandoned large a
mount OF aims, knapsacks and baggage. The
ground was strewn for miles with those killed,
and the faFm-bouses and grounds around were
filled Ith the wounded. Pursuit was contin-
uetl along several routes towards Leesburg and
Centreville, until darkness covered the fugI-
lIyes. We have captured many field batteries
and staCd ct arms and one OF the United States
flags. Many prisoners have been taken.
Too high praise cannot be bestowed, wheth-
rr for the sSid Of the principal officers, or the
gaiauiry OF all oar troops. The battle was
mainly fought on our left. Our force was
$4,000 : that of !he enemy was estimated at

BEwARE.-We warn the conservative cit
izSns OF the country that the hour is at hand
when the Abolitionists will make a strong eff
fort to lead them into 4 war against slavery. -
The excited state of the public mind, growing
out Of the recent disaster 10 the army, affords
an opportunity 10 ole: 10 The Government, and
urge upon ITS acceptance, any weapon however
bar5arous. The encouragement OF a slave in
surTection for the massacre Of women and chill
dren is already proposed, and even a respectable
New York journal boldly advocates this inhu-
man idea. Most Of the stories Of the barbaritIes
committed by the rebels, are believed to be man
ufictured solely for the purpose of exciting the
public mind to this method OF vengeance, and
after the effect which is desired is produced,
we shall have the proposition coming from
strong quarters TO arm the slaves for rising.
The New York Times has sufficient respecta-
bility TO show that a proposition OF this sort in
its columns is not mere canard. From the
beginning, this war has been favored by the
ultra AboitIonlsts on the ground that it must
at length become an anti-slavery war. For
weeks after 1t began, the Tribune headed its
news column, g The Pro- SLAVERY WAR,"-
implying that the war was only question Of
pro or anti-slavery. The most vlrulent Aboli-
tloH ITdGeTSS wisely staying al nome from Inc
fight, have made speeches in favor OF the war
and lis ultimate end in freeing the slaves. This
idea has teen gradually and stealthily introduce
ed into the minds OF the people, until many
have begun to thick that the slaves NAV be used
as weapon of war, without violation OF the
the principles OF humanity. Even in Congress
the speeches OF members indicate that they are
willing 10 make use Of them "i we are forced
to it -; that is, if we cannot suppress the rebel
lion in any other way.
Is there a Christian man on the earth who
favors this idea We call on all men who
have any love for the name of man, who desire
to preserve 10 America the character of human
ty, and not have US handed down 10 posterity
as Gends, 10 oppose with voice and vote this
horrible resort.-Journal of Commerce
IZ- The York county Democracy have
adopted the resolutions OF the Bedford County
