President Lincoln's Letter.

While the manner in which the Presi-
dent has appeared before the public in his
letter to Mr.. Greeley is undignifed, and
while the letter itself has the peculiar
characteristics of Mr.. Lincoln--we cannot
help saying, indeed we are delighted to
say, that the leading idea of this document
affords aid and comfort TO all true friends
of the Union and the Constitution. 1t is
to the Union-th Union as it was-thc
Union as created and upheld by the Con.
stitut. on-that the President expresses
devotion, and he treats all othor questions
as mere subordinate ones, to be employed
or discarded, as they will best subserve the
great purpose of upholding the Constitu-
ton and restoring the Union. This is the
ore sdea in support of which all true men
all men with sound heads and honest
hearts-can rally.
We thank the President for this rebuke
of the impudence and madness Of Greeley
and his Abolition ssociates-notwih-
standing the irregular and undignifed
manner in which it has been administered
1t knocks them on the head, and all con-
servative men sustain Mr.. Lincoln in his
effort to make the preservation of the Gov.
ernmcnt the simple and distinct object o.
this war, and to prevent q perverson o
the war to a mischievious Abolition crusade
We can all agree in putting forth every
energy to save the Government of our ia
thers-but we cannot and will not agre.
to engage in Negro war. The Presiden
has done good and great thing in lifting
up bis voice to arrest this tendency aud tc
direct our united energies 10 the restora
tion of the Union and the maintenance o
the Constitution. Let him be sustained.

Gen. Mcclellan.

The Abolition pack, including ours of
low degree, are still in pursuit of General
Mcclellan. How savage the blood hounds
have become. The Philadelphia Bulletin
of Monday evening last says;
"a dispatch was sent to as this mora
ing from New York, stating that the 11t-
dwne had dispatch, declaring, among
other things, that Gen. Mcclellan was a
traitor, Soon after we were informed that
the Tribune Office had been closed by or.
der of the Government officials, thus Civ
ing a complete denial to what, we were
satisfied, was false and malignant can
ards
When will these bloody and traitorou,
Abolition conspirators cease their efforts
to destroy the regulations Of our Gener'
als7 Not until their schemes of negro
emancipation is accomplished or this
Union forever separ ated. But the NAL
ignity Of these reptiles towards Mcclellan
surpasses the ferocity of hungry tigers

insisted that the rebel army in Virginia
was far inferior to McClellan's; now VIC
are told that the army which he fought
for seven days successfully with 80 ,OOC
men, amounts to 100000. Still the Abo
liton pack are afle: him with unabated
slander.

More State Prisoners.

Our town was startled on Friday even
ing last by the announcement that Mr..
Ira Davenport. of Plymouth, had been
arrested and lodged in Jail in this borough,
by Agib Kickets, Esq, Chief of Police
We tried in vain to ascertain the charge
against Mr.. Davenport, but could learn
nothing further than that it had been done
in pursuance Of the recent order Of the
War Department, clothing all Chief of
Police with authority to arrest persons
who were suspected ofdisloyal practices,
discouraging enIistments, &c.
Later in the evening two other arrests
were made, viz: George B. Kulp, Register
of the county, and E. B. Chase, District
Attorney. They also were committed TO
prison. All three of them petitioned for
hearing before Judge Conynghala on a
writ Of kabeas corpus. The Judge
granted the hearing, and they were sc.
cordingiy taken before his Honor on
Saturday morning, when the Chief Of
Police declined to make bis answer until
the expiration OF tue time allowed him
three days-during which he could
communicate with the War Department.
The Judge then postponed the whole
proceedings until this morning at 9
o'clock--holding the prisoners in bail in
the sun of $500 each for their appear.
ance.
None OF these men know what they
are imprisoned for, nor who are ther ac-
eusers-and Probly meyer will They are
all prominent Democrats, land so far as we
know, most worthy and loyal citizens
Mr., Davenport was delegate to the last
Democratic County Convention.

s@- The Democratic Convention did
not re-nominate Col. TATE for the Legis-
lature,--- Columbia co. Republican.
For the good reason, DR.. John, that We
we're not candidate for denomination, as
the Member was conceded last fall to
Montour county for the next term
and you ought to have SO said in oncsty
and deceucy. The Democracy of Colum.
bia, the only truly loyal party We recog-
nize in our country, have treated us kind y,
generously and magnaminously. They
have most CALAMITY and unanimosly en-
dorsed our entire course, as Member Of
the Legislature of Pennsylvania, and that
endorsement stands on record, and will
only be forgotten with the close of our
earthly existence,
Like Mr. Clay, VIC can exclaim, had
I'ever man such friends aud with that
great statesman we emphatically say, we
"had rather be right--not wrong--than tc
be President" Our own fellow citizens,
whom we have ever tried faithfully to oserver
in General Ceavention have unanimously
Resolved, That tho Democracy of Col.
umbia souaty heartily approve and endorse
the course Of their Representatives, Col
Low L. Tate and George S. Tutton, Esq,
at the last Session OF the Legislature, as
characterized by fidelity, intelligence and
devotion TO sound principles.

A GENERAL INDIAN WAR.-The rews
from our WeAere Territories is unfavora

on the eve of an extensive war with the
Indian tribes in that vast and sparsely set
tied region. Ii is believed that secession
influence has been at work in creating a
feeling of hostility against our Govern
ment in the midst of the ignorent savages
of our western plains. The prospect of an
interruption of the overland route to Cal.
ifornia, has induced the Post Office De.
partment to order the mails for the Pacific
States to be sent by way of the Isthmus.
