Resistance to the EnroIlment in Luzerne Co

Resistance to the EnroIlment I'm Luzerne Co
We regret to learn that serious trouble ex-
lists in Luzerne county, growing out of the
draft. In the town of BlakeIy several fruit
less attempts had been made to make the en-
rollment, and on Friday last mill tary com
pany was taken to the place, when fight
with the citizens ensued. The military was
obliged to fire upon them, killing four or five,
and again on Wednesday 200 of the military,
with small cannon, were taken up, when,
the affair assuming serious aspect, the citI-
zens desisted from their opposition, and the
enrolment was completed.
The same trouble has been experienced IN
Carbondale. The citizens residing in the
lower wards have resisted so stubbornly that
the enrolling officers have been unable 20
complete their labors. Il
Also IN Scranton the same resistance was
shown, but the officers succeeded in complet-
ing the enrolment
The same spirit, it is said, has been mani
tested all through the mining region.
The Carbondale Adodnce says -" We
have melancholy news from Acrhbald. A
death has resulted from a renewed effort to
take the enrolment at that place. We pub
lIshed, two weeks since, an account of the
manner in which the enrolling officer and
four or five assistants had been driven from
the town. bloody and bruised. We learned
about noon yesterday, that the enrolling off
Ger had arrived upon the ground with a large
posse, unarmed, for the purpose of taking the
enrolment peaceahy, if they could, but with
company Of militia in attendance, armed. to
execute the law forclhly if they must. Dur
ing the afternoon six women were arrested
for disturbing the peace, and Sent to iarl at
Wilkes barre. No serious difficulty, however,
occurred until the officers were returning
from their days business t. the hotel. A ri
ot then occurred, with these results: Pat
rick GIlmartn, killed, received about ten
shots. His wife was badly wounded. Pat

Tracy's maj. 1917

Tiffany announced the fact last week,
that the old Keystone" had "gone for the
Union, the Constitution and the enior cement
Of the flaws" We think it has too not fer a
union with nggers-not for constitution
that places them on an equality with free
white men-nut for the enforcement of the
arbitrary mandates Of any Tyrant, as Tiff
thought it had. Bn' for the restoration of
the good old union IF sta,cs as they were,

Reecher on the Union,

Rev. Henry Ward Beechcr on Sunday last
compared the Union with Slavery, to bar
rel with worm eaten slaves, remarking that
As with States, so it is 18th the Nation
al Government. For, fear of weakness in the
original compact, the monster was admitted"
The " National IatetGgepcer" replies:
Mr.. Beecher is so learned in many branch
es of study that he may be excused for not
knowing much about the history of the Uni
ted States. As at the date of the formation
of the Constitution, every State allowed sla-
very within its bounderies except Massachu
setts, it follows that If the trainers of that in
strument had acted according to the idea
Mr.. Beeeher, the Union would have consist
ed Of that State alone.

Important Letter from Gen. Scott TO VIM
II. Seward.

The following letter from Lieut. Gen. Scott
to Wm. II. Seward on the state of the coun.
try. written two days before the Inaugural
ton OF lincoln, has just been made public
1t was read By Mr.. John Van Buren,, in a
speech delivered by him few days since. in
New York. 1t shows ttat the old Hero an.
preclated, in part, at least, the vastness of the
undertaking, the party then about to come
into power, were to undertake, by rejecting.
as 1t did, the terms of settlement then so ear
nestly advocated by tha. other Hero and
Statesman, the venerable Crittenden.
WASHINGTON, March, ,, 1861,
DEAR SIR Hoping that, in day or two.
the new President will have happily passed
through all personal dangers, and find him
self installed an honored successor of the
great Washington, with you as the chief of
his Cabinet, beg leave to repeat in writino,
what have before said to you oralIy-this
supplement to my printed "views" (dated in
October lasD-on the highly disordered con-
dltlon of our $50 late) happy and glorious
Union. To meet the extraordinary exiren
c'es ol the time, 1t seems to me that | am
guilty of no arrogance in limiting the Pres
ldent's iicld of selection to one of the four
plans of procedure subjolned:
!. Throw off the Old and assume nom
designation: the Union party. ADOPT the
concllaiory measures proposed by Mr.. Crit
tenden or the Peace Convention, and nv life
upon it we shall have no new case of seces-
sion; but on the contrary, an early return.
OF many, if not all of the States which have
already broken off from the Union. Witbop,
some equally benign measure, the remaining
siaveholding States will probably Join the
Montgomery Confederacy in less than sixtx
days; when this city, being included in a
foreign country, would require permanent,
garrison of at least thirty-fve thousand troonsf
to protect the Government within it.
III. Collect the duties on foreign goods out
side the ports which the Government has
lost the command, or close such ports by acl
OF Congress and blockade them.
III. Cunquer the seeded States by inyaa /
ing armies. No doubt this might b. done in
two OR three years by ayoung and able gen.
erai-a Wolfe, Desaix, or Hoche-wlthI
5oo,ooo disciplined men, estimating third
Tor garrlsons and the loss of a greater num-
Der by skirmisbes, sieges, battles, and South
ern tevers. The destruction of life and prom /
erty on the other side would be fripbtful l

Mccall, who was beaten f-r congl ess, in the

should not represent them in the field g.

In the LAST public speech of Stephen A..

few days before his death, he defined his po-
sition 10th towards Republicanism and Seces-

- have no apprehension that any man in
Illinois, or beyond the limits of our beloved
State, will misconstrue or misunderstsnd my

tions are concerned. | stand in equal, eter-
nal and undying opposition to the REPUBLr-

Importance of EieCtin= Good

We cannot too often or too vehcmentlv
impress upon the minds of the people, the
necessity and Importance of Iecting relia-
BILE men TO represent us in Congress os-
pcciaIly AT this particular time, when our
unfortunate country l. balancing upon the
fuIcrum of incxorable rIin-when the
combined elements of Abolition fanati
cism and Sccessionism are assailing It's
very foundations; because no matter how
magnanimous the President, or how honest
be the members of his Cabinet. he can
not save the Union nor preserve the Con
stitution, unless he be assisted by wise
legislation on the part Of Congress. The
Union may vet be restored, and it Is
at the ballot-box. this fall. that that issue
must be determined, and the people must
then vote, either for the peIpetuity Of a
government as our fathers bcqucathcd it,
or vote for its complete overthrow for it
can no longer be concealed that, at the
coming election. two great parties must
take the field-the Democratic party
which proposes 10 stand by the Gon,titu-
tion, and TO preserve and perpgtuate the
Government n our fathers established it..
and the Republican Abolition party which
seeks to accomplish an overthrow of the
Constitution and the present Federal Go
ruins of liberty. Kind Of monGrcI des-
potic government, based upon tn -tbo.:-
ton of slavery and nero eqaIity. This
Is the issue, coming out OF the present
crisis. which demands the Immediate at
tention OF every Democrat and Union
loving patriot in the land and which in
less than four weeks. must be fairly and
squarclv met ai the baliot-boN. Verify.
Democrats. this l. no ilic dream nor triy-
olous prctext for elcctionecring purposes.
We feel 1t TO be- our duty To urgc upon the
public mind the Importance 10 be gained
at the October election. for if we, by our
lethargv and inditftrenco, allow another
majority of radical m-n, having but one
idea. TO steal their way. again. into Con
eresS. the subverSiou of our Government
must finally and necessary f,Ilow. We
coniure YOU, then. Democrats. to work
and to fervently struggle ior ihe precious
boon of hbarty-hcarken to the warning
voice of Democracy and be not deceived
nor lured from your political faith by the
gli;tering and IiccntiouS promises of dsma-
gogues. Remember it i by electins

pies, that we can save the Government.
