The New "Union" Party.

The Republicans, says tho Patriot f.

getting up "Union" State Convention. -
Wherever they can find renegade Demo.
crat, they elect him to their Convention,
with the hope ofgulling the public into the
belief that large division of the Demo.
cratic party has gone over to the Aboli-
tion-Repu blican party. In Philadelphia

leesed delegates to the 18th of July Con-
vention, and who do you think were ep.
pointed to represent the Democratic ele.
ment' Why such Democrats as John w.
Forney and John G. Knox, who for the
past two or three years have been among
the most conspicuous haters of the Demo.
cratic principles and the Democratic or.
ganization, to be found in the Common.
wealth. The selection of these men is an
evidence of desperate shifts to which the
Republicans are driven to procure Demo-
cratic decoy ducks. The antecedants and
present position of Forney scarcely require
notice. Since he sold himself to the Re-
publicans he has endeavored to earn his
wages by the most vindictye and reckless
aspersions of Democratic men, and mis-
representations Of Democratic measures
His colleague, John G. Knox, belongs to
the same class of treacherous trimmers.
Like Forney he was uursed and petted by
the Democratic party which he is now en-
deavoring to destroy. Through the Dem
ocratic organization he was made nom

premo Court and Attorney General of the

favor, is shown by his present Course

WuxEs-BARRE, July IL, 1862.
Col. LEVI l.. TATE,
Dear Sir "A sense of Justice impels
me to notice two articles in the Columbia
County Republican, of last week, to which
my attention has been called, and in
which am made the subject of some
very abusive and undignificd remarks
1t is not my purpose TO reply to them,
but rather to make on explanation of the
circumstances under which | attended
the meeting on the ith.
An invitation to address the meeting at
Orangevillc, was sent me. with the names
of eight or nine gcnllcme.. as a commit
tee, signed in one hand writing. I'll stran-
gers to myself. Upon immediate inquiry,
| was informed that these gentlemen were
all members CT the Damocraiic party ;
and that tho people in sAe district of coun-
try where the cctChraton was to take
place, were strongly Democratic in their
sentiments. was at the same time, as
wcll as afterwards, led to understand,
that my address would be expected to be,
ia great measure, on the principles OF
Democracy. Under this impression
went to the meeting, and with perfect
honesty of purpose, made such an adj
dress as supposed was looked for--no
one OF the Committee intimating single
topic for my remarks at the time. After
my address. greatly to my surprise,
was assailed by several speakers, in a
spirit and manner, with one exception,
exceedingly vitupcrativo and ungeneIous.
lfit was improper on that occasion to ad.
vance the principles of the great national
party to which have always belonged.
and under which this great Republic has
grown to power, AL can say, is, that
entirely misconccived the dGtY required
at my hands. Atihe same time, it will
not admit of denial, that those princi plies
are not unworthy of consideration and re-
mark, even on the Fourth day of July.
Such opinion, at least, would seem ia
have been entertained by my party, in
selecting that day for their State Convcn'
ton at Harrisburg. 1t seems, therefore
not little strange, if Democrats from al
parts of Pennsylvania are permitted tc
pass their resolves at the State Capitol
man should be prescribed for being ;
Democrat in the county Of Columbia.
Yours, very respectfully,
G. T.. " RIGHT.

Meeting ofthe Democratic State
Central Committee.

The Members OF the Democratic State
Central Committee, are hereby requested
to meet at the Merchants Hotel, in the
City of Philadelphia, on Iuesdty, The
29th July, instant, at ~ o'ctock. r. N.
A full attendance of all the members is
urgently requested. Beside the business of
the organization of the Committee, it will
be necessary to adopt measures for the
thorough organization of the loyal masses
throughout the State, who desire that their
political action the ensuing Fall shall afford
convincing evidence that the great body OF
the people of this Commonwealth are re-
solved to
MAINTAIN THE NATIONAL CON.
STITUTION and that the Union ofheSt
States shall not be broken up, either by the
open and armed assaults of enemies South
or the equally direct but more insidiou
movements of foes in the North.
1t is also desired, that in view of wha
the course ofevents has rendered probable
foreign Intervention in our domestic strife
and the complete co operation of abolition
lists at home and abroad, to prevent tk
restoration of the Union on the bais OF tht
Constitution, the Democratic party AM
other loyal citizens supporting our organ
ization, should present an undivided from

Democratic Slate Convention in Ohio

The democracy of Ohio like their bretlrea
in Pennsylvania, held Convention at
their State capitol, on the 4th, which, like
ours was the largest gathering of the kind
ever assembled in the state. Their plat.
form, like ours, is sound in its support of
the Government to crush the rebs!ion,
and, at the same time, the cause of it
Southern Secession and Northern Abo!i-
ton. The following is condensed ac-
count Of their proceedings.
We, therefore, the representatives Of
nearly Or quite 100000 voters of the State
of Ohio, who have as deep stake in the
welfare ofthe country and the preservat on
Of the Union as any other equal number
! OF men, in the exercise Of our duty aud
Constitutional rights, and with the desire
Of uphol ling instead of weakening the just
powers of our Government, and anxious
10 unite all men, without regard to their
former party associations, who agree witt
us in opinion and to treat ali loyal mer
who honestly differ from US with becoming
respect, do hereby declare our own opin-
ions and those of our constituents as fol
ows:
ReSOtUed, /. That the Democracy arr

2. The Aboitonisis alone are forcinI
party issues on the country.
3. Denounces the aboii;iouists for criti-
cising the Pie ident and the conservatives
A, Condemns the letter of John An

g. Is in favor of meeting out meriteG
legal punishment to the plotters of REBEL

rational and likely to irritate the South

6. That, entertaining these views, W
cannot too strongly condemn the refusa
of our General Assembly to prohibit, b.
law, the immigration of negroes into thi
State.
Z. That We are opposed to being taIe'
to purchase the freedom Of negro slaves

ANOTHER CALL FOR TRooPs The
coll for 900 additional soldiers to
serve for the war will Pford an opportu-
nifty for the Wide Awakes and the Repub-
lican party generally to make good their
boastod patriotism, by rushing at once to
the support of the President, before any
draft is resorted to. The hundreds OF
rabid war men who throng cur streets and
Glamour for vigorous prosecution of the
conflict, while reinforcements are pressing
ly needed at every point, should now be
up and moving. These men who tell us
their hearts are in the fight, should lose
no time in responding to the call at once.
To refuse their services at this time of per.
il will show that their loud spoken patri-
otism is but miserable and lying pre-
tence. Hitherto this class have been very
backward in coming forward" but as
enlistments are now but slowly made, it i,
presumed that they will at ocoe buckle on
their armor, and soon fill up the needed
9uo,s.
