WHAT THEIR OBJECT Is.

Tie Breckinridge- Hughes Democracy held
'.jnblee'' in Independence Square, Phila-
delplia, at which some extraordinary speeches
were made, plainly foreshadawing the objects
of that party. Amongst the orators were
Charles Ingersoll and Francis w. Hughes
The former, after congratulating his friends
upon the result of the recent elections in our
State, went on TO say:
s.To what shall we turn our success ShdL
it be 10 put do,cn The Federal Government This
is for y0u TO determine | say that if we
true to ourselves; if the citizens of the North
are true TO themselves, they will turn their at
tenfion to one point above all others, and that
is the rights of the sovereign States Tapplansel
now trampled upon and hooted at Personal
ly. am Tor a strong central government. No
Government can exist long without a central
force. This Union prospcred well until
the Abolitionsts cane into power, who are
now striving to make it military tyranny.
What will be the result OF the present condi
tion OF affairs in this country is hard to say.
Either We must conquer the South, must
make peace with them. If conquer the
South, and dnner their furnished territories TO
ours, there is an end 10 this Union, because the
Union no longer erisfs as Union Of sovereign
STATES. IApplause.1 In case Mr.. Lincoln fails
in his war policy, then there is anarchy. What
is to save us from either of these dilemmas
the States do not save us, We are gone. Well,
We should therefore cultivate our State pride.
Comment is unnecessary.

THE CASE OF REV. Dr.. HAY.-On the 28th
ult., Rev. Dr. Charles A. Hay, minister of the
First Lutheran Church in Harrisburg, Pa,
was arrested on an order of Gen. Wool, and
taken to Baltimore to answer certain charges
to him then unknown. 1t seems that DIR. Hay,
during visit to Baltimore, met with the wife
those who openly sympathizc with the Rebel
lion, were permitted by Gen. Wool to take
sick rebel prisoners to their homes and minis
ter to their wants. On his return to Harris
burg, DR.. Hay published a communication,
over his own name setting forth the above al
legation, and asking If the same General
would allow similar privileges to loyal ladies
in behalf of loyal soldiers. As Gen. Wool
had not granted such permission (though it
seems Gen. Morris, who is subordinate to him,
had } he took offence at the statement and or
dered the arrest of DIR. Hay. The latter, on
learning this fact. at once publicly stated that
he had been in to the name, which
seemed to satisfy Gen. Wool, who thereupon
discharged DR.. Hay without condition. DIR.
Hay is of the most loyal men in the coun-
try, and Gen. Wool has committed a blunder
| which will be troublesome to explain, the ar
rest hav ing been made without the knowledge
or consent of the War Department or any of
the authorities at Washington.

SECESSION sYMpArH1zERs.

With a cofemperary, sswe cannot for the life
OF us what kind friendly and brotherly
acts the South has done for so many among US
to divert their allegiance from their own Sec
ton. She has broken up the country, rnined
our prosperity, and sunk us to the rank OF
second rate Power; sown the land with sor-
row. bitterness and blood desolated whole
districts, and destroyed the peace of many
thousands of once happy homes; forced her
own sons to ruin and death, and drenched her
and our territory with the best blood of the
North. For all these evils with which her
pride, hate and aristocratic arrogance are
chargeabIe she has thousands of mawkish and
whining sympaihizers among who would
see their own friends and relations slaughter
ed in cold blood and then warmly grasp the
blood stained hands of the murderers; whose
mouths are flied with complaint and treason,
and mutterng against their own region and
government, but who have nothing but excu-
ses to make for the authors of all this ruin.
They coolly survey and calculate the death
and rayages and desolation brought abont by
these architects ofruin, and yet cry ont against
their own government for every effort made to
check the rebellion and punish the leading
rebels. Every act OF the Administration is
criticised and condemned the cry of s.con-
stitutional rights of the South is at once ia
ken up, fofgetful of the fact that the States in
rebellion have no constitutional rights and
when the acts of jeff Davis and his vile hordes
of secession and murder are spoken of they
say nothing with regard TO the constitutional
ity of their doings.''

STRANGE CONDOLENCES

jeff. Davis and all the traitors are bitterly op-
posed to the Proclamation Of the President !;
so, also, is the Ciearfeld Republican.
JEFF. Davis and all the traitors are opposed
to emancipating the .niggers'; SO, also, is the
Cleartieid Republican.
JEFF. Davis and all the traitors are opposed
to confscation of rebel property so is the
Clearfeld Republican.
JEFF Davis and all the traitors are opposed
to the policy of the Administration so is the
Ciearfield Republican.
JEFF. Davis and all the traitors are opposed
to the United States Government employing
negroes in the military service SO is the
Clearfeid Republican.
JEFF. Davis and all the traitors have not word
of condemnation against the using of slaves as
soldiers in the rebel army; neither has the
Clearfeld Repabiican.
JEFF. Davis and all the traitors proclaimed
the suspension of the writ of habeas corpus as
a subversion of the Constitution so does the
Clearfeld Republican.
jeff Davis and all the traitors proclaim the
arrest and Imprisonment of acknowledged reb-
ell sympathisers as base outrage; so does the
Ciearfeid Republican.
JEFF Davis and all the traitors are in favor OF
the Breckinridge style of Democracy; SO is the
Clearfeld Republican.
JEFF. Davis and all the traitors are opposed
to our soldiers shooting with ball cartridge;
wonder if the coincidence will hold good
here, too !?

WHAT REIEAsEp PRISONERS SAY.

In another column of to-day's Journal will be
found several extracts from the speeches of
Gen. Prentiss, Col. Lynch and Capt. Gregg,
made at Chicago few days since. Our main
object IN referring to these extracts is, to call
the attention of honest democrats to the quo
tation from the Augusta Daily Constitutional
isf and General Prentiss' remarks thereon.
Many democrats were led to support the Hughes
ticket on assurances of its loyalty; but, from
the quotation referred to, they can now see
the position they have placed themselves in,
and what may be expected from those whom
they assisted to place in responsible positions
by their votes. Those Southern traitors are
shrewd politicians, and write yery plainly and
we'll. They planned it, that Hughes and the
wire -pullers were not to come out ssboldiy
opposed to the war per se,'' for that would
subject them to be ssincarcerated within the
walls of some Yankee Bastile,' - but TO assume
ss the form of opposition to abolitionism, coer-
1s cion and subjugation," and ssby protesting
(" devotion to the Union, the Constitution. and
Hthe Administration of Abraham Lincoln,
they can organize thoroughly for work. and
&c thus secure way to triumph," not only at
the ssfail elections, but a triumph for the re-
bellion. This is what We frequently told you.
Did yon believe us7 Will you believe now
Yor would, in spite of all We could say, vote
precisely as they wished you, and directly a
gainst your government. In proof of this, you
have before ou the testimony of the Coestitu
xionaiist and of loyal democrat. Now you
may repent at your leisure, provided you are
not in favor of the government of jeff. Davis
and of the overthrow of the good old govern
ment made by Washington and his compeers
II you are honest men, your vote will trouble
you more than it does us but still, we deeply
regret that any Pennsylvania should have
been misled so far as to fall into so obvious q
trap as that set by Hughes and his associates.

JAMES BucHANAN,s DEFENCE.

The Old Public Functionary, Ex-President
Buchanan, is out in lengthy reply to Gen
erai Scott, whose recent publication he con-
siders an undisgused censure of his conduct
during the last months of his Administration
in relation to the seven Cotton States now in
rebellion. He denies that Gov. Floyd infu-
enced him in refusing to garrison the nine
forts referred to by Gen. Scott, and says that
he.was himself, as President, responsible for
all the acts of the Administration. He alleges
that there were no available troops within
reach which could have been sent to those for
tifcations, and thinks it would have been SIM
ply absurd to have attempted military ope-
ration on scale so extensive. He says he
refused to send three hundred men to rein
force Fort Moultrie because he believed, as
the event proved, that Maj. Anderson was in
no danger of attack--that he and his command
were treated with marked kindness by the au-
thorities and people of Charleston-and that to
have sent such a force there would have been
only to impair the hope of compromise, to
provoke collision and disappoint the country.
He denies that either a truce, or nything like
it, was ever concluded between the President
and any human authority concerning Charles
ton and finishes up by Pharisaically declar-
ing before God and his country that he cannot
reproach himself with any act OF commission
or omission to endanger its happiness and its
safety since the existing troubles commenced /!
Poor old Buck Whatever relief his con-
science can derive from this miserable apo To-
gy, he is welcome to. We should think, how
answer for without assuming the responsibility
of FIoyd's gun and Indian bond plunderings.
