ADDRESS TO THE PRESInENT
OF THE UNITED STATES,

Adopted at a meeting Of Govern
ors OF the loyal States, to take
measure for the more active
support of the Government.
held at Altoona, Pa, Sept. "a,
1862.
After nearly one year and a
half spent in contest with an ar
med and gigantic rebellion a.
gainst the National Governmen;
OF the United States, the duty
and purpose of the loyal States.
people continue and must always
remain as they were at It's origin,
namely: To restore and perpctu-
ate the authority of this Govern
ment, and the life Of the nation,
no matter what consequences are
involved in our fidelity.
Nevertheless, this work of re
storing the Republic, preserving
the institutions of liberty anu
justiiying the hopes and tolls OF
our fathers, shall no. fail to be
performed, and we pledge, with
out hesitation, to the Presl dent
of the United States the most
loyal and cordial support hereaf-
ter as heretofore, III the exercises
OF the functions OF his great oil
flee. We recognize in him the
Chief Executive Magistrate of the
nation, Commander-ln Chief oil
the Army and Navy OF the Uni
ted States, their responsible and
constitutional head, whose right
iul authority and power, as well
as the constitutional power OF
/ Congress must be vigorousl y and
religlously guarded and presery-
ed as the conditions on which a
lone our form of government and
the constitutional rights and lib
critics OF the leople themselves
can be saved from the wreck of
anarchy, or from the gulf of deS-
potiSm. In submission TO the
laws which may have been, or
which may be duly. enacted, and
to the lawful orders Of the Pres-
dent, cooperating always in our
own spheres IN the national gov
ernnent, we mean 10 continue IN
the most vigorous and cOnstltu-
tional exercise Of all our lawful
ard proper powers, contendlng
against treason and Hon.
and the public enemies. and
whether in public lie, or in pri
vate station, supporting the arms
of the Union, until success shall
perch upon its standard, or the
rebel foe shall yield dutiful,
righttul and uncoditlCnal submls-
sion. A reserve ought, until the
war shall end, to be constantly
kept on foot, to be raised, armed,
and equipped, and trained at
home, and ready for emergen-
cies. I'VE respectfully ask the
President to call for such a force
OF volunteers for one years ser
vice, OF not less than 100000 in
the aggregate, the quota Of each
State to be raised after it shall
have filled Its quotas OF requisltons
already made Tor volunteers and
for militia.
We believe that this will be
measure OF military prudence,
while it would greatly promote
to the military education Of the
people. We hail with heart
ielt gratitude and encouraging
hope, ihe proclamation OF the
President, issued on the 22nd OF
September, declaring emancipa-
ted from their bondage all per-
sons held to service or labor as
slaves in the rebel States where
rebellion shall last until the first
day OF July.

nIonStrOuS deiuS.On OF foreign IN
tervention.
If, however, the war gives nc
signs of coming to speedy end,
we believe that bv proper action
on the part of Congress the hon
or of our flag will continue to be
sustained, the public security In
creased, and the capacity OF the
enemy for mischief and annoy
ance greatly diminished. In the
meantime we must seek TO be
patient, and, if possible, content
In a condition from which man
kind has never been exempt, and
which Providence sees best foI
our trial and discipline. In the
spirit of the man who, when ne
broke his leg, thanked God ii was
not his neck, we may console our
selves with rejecting that there
are national and individuals ca
Iamitles greater and more irrepar-
able than those of war, and be
thankful We have escaped them.
RESERVES AT HOME.-The I'M
portance of a large reserve force
at home is more and more at
tracing the public attention. 1t is
not unlikely that further demands
may made upon the martial pop
ulation of the North. The bet
ter we are prepared to meet 1t,
the more efficient will he the aid
which we can render, and the
less will be the probability OF
calling it out. Among the contln-
gencies that we must take into
the account is that of foreign IN
tervention. With 250,O00 or
100000 men under military in
struction, and preparing to so in
to the field, if needed, the proba-
biIities of foreign intervention
would be greatly diminished.
The great powers of Europe are
fond of intervening in Mexico
and other feeble and distracted
States, but very cautious about it
in those where Intervention will
be met with iron fleets on the
coast, aad on their own coast,
with we'll appointed armies on
the land. France and England
are constantly intervening to pre-
vent the things that are both con-
stantly doing, but they don't IN
tervene in each Others affairs.
Not a bit Of it. With the fleet
l',at we are completing, as fast as
the workmen, thick as they can
stand Oh the docks CT crowd Up
on the sides, can hammer It OFT,
and with such a reserve force as
we are able to put on foot. we
may securely defy the world in
arms. The armies that could
successfully meet us could not be
transported so rapidly as we
could annIhilate them; and our
iron vessels, with our new arma-
ment, would be a match for any
thing that could attack us by s9a
Every consideration of economy
and OF security presses us to or
ganize large reserve, not to be
called into the service unless
needed, and if promptly and ef-
iicientIy organized, not likely to
be needed; but It's very existence
of immense service in the present,
and Of immense security for the
future. Providence Journal.

The Price Of Newspapers:

The Brockpor, Republic has the follow
ing in reference to the increase of the price
OF newspapers:
"Most of the large daily papers in Wes-
tern New York have advanced the price OF
their Issues. An editor OF q leading New
York daily Informed US last week that :he
publishers OF that city would soon follow
suit. Many of the country journals are
also published at increased prices. The
advance is caused mainly by the advance
in printing stock
Printing materials of all kinds have very
materially advanced since the commence
ment of the war. On som. articles of prime
necessity 10 the primer. the advance is fully
equal to thirty per cent. In addilon to
this the Government taxes them three per
cent. on the paper they use, three per cent.
upon their advertisements. and three per
cent. upon their income, if they are fortu-

A SUGGESTIVE HINT.


When our Northern volunteers 60 to the
war they fancy that they leave all their little
encumbrances behind them. They never
dream for a moment that the multifarious
articles that compose their kit-the woollsn
and India rubber blankets, the two pairs of
shoes, the changes of under clothing, the
eating and drinking utensils. &c.,-can ever
come to be classed IN this category. And
yet but too many of them have found to
their cost that they light as we'll have gone
into the field with one of their little ones
under each arm as to try and make cam
paign under a Southern sun with such a
load II is impossible that any soldier no
matter how great his strength, can march or
fight well thus encumbered. The weight Of
baggage borne by the United States volun.
teer is twice that carried by the English.
French or Russian soldier. and this weight
is enhance by the clumsy manner in which
it is packed on his back. If our troops are
ever to be effective in the field, At least half
this amount of luggage must be discarded;
and we are glad to see that Gen. Mcclellan
has sent sixty wagon loads of knapsacks
back to Washington as beginning. 1t is a
sound military axiom that no army can ever
be properly handled which is not in light
marching order.

The CHIEF NULLIFIER.--We transfer the
following article to our columns from a late
Boston paper, for the edifcstion Of loyal
Americans, having never seen it in print
before:
:" John c. Calhoun, Prophet-Mr.
Calhoun died in 1850. A Southern writer
relates the following evidence Of his sagaci-
ty: During Mr.. Cslnoun's illness. distin-
guished Senator, who possessed his entire
confidence, one day went to visit him. In
speaking of the compromise measures, Mr..
Calhoun said: 81 shall probably never
again be in the Senate my DAY is gone by
but if the gentlemen who have charge of
hese questions think that they will be able,
as loyal men, to adjust them by compro-
mise. fear they are mistaken. The seeds
OF dissolution have been sown, sir, and must

ration will take place, and fix i, a, twelve

A PardOna bic Mistake.

Orpheus c. Kerr records the following
incident. which. according to that veracious
historian Of current events. recently hap
pened in Washington. 1t will be seen tha,
the illustrious beuefactor Of this country
the venerable Cannon" has been caugh,
mapping:
This venerable benefacto- made little
mistake on Tuesday. A sportive young
chap came to him with a newspaper in his
hand, and SAYS he: Let me see if you can
tell. my potter patria what paper this arti
Gle is in"-and proceeded to read the fol
lowing high editorial
"fREAsoN OF THE BLACK REpuBLIcANs.-
True to their ioul instincts. the Greelv,
Cheever, and Wendell Phillips herd Of trea-
sonable fanatics are now accusing their
Honest Old Abe of running the country

When the spor'ive chap ceased reading
the Venerable G-mmon waved his obse
