The Louisville Democrat, one Of the
Conservative organs, Of that city, makes
the following candid confession Of what
the Conservatives mean when they bnwl
about the Constitution
STRICT CONSTRUCTION ASD STATE RIGHTS.
The history Of parties in this country
is not calculated TO inspire one with ad-
miraiion Of the principles Of partisans.
A strict construction is the true phil
Thy OF the Federal Government The
construction, moreover, can hardly be
too strict. Still, it has been generally
the case, that q party in power seldom
failed 10 find ia the Federal Constitution
authority 90 do what it wanted to do.
The party on the Other hand, out OF
power, always denied any constitutional
right 20 do what they didn't want done
The Federalists, when they were in power
maenified their Office They found in
the Federal Constitution the right 10 do
anything they wanted, even TO passing
sedition laws The Democrats Of that
day considered their liberal construction
of Federal power as dangerous to the
Stales, and a perversion of the Federal
Constitution. These old Federalists
went out of Office. and the Democrats
came in 1t would do Injustice TO the
Democrats 10 cay that they did not avoid
the errors they charged on the Federal.
ists 10 9 considerable degree; but they
did purchase Louisiana, as j Jefferson adj
mitied, without the power to do SO in the
Constitution. Some other things they
did, of less consequence. We doubt il
they would have admitted the power 10
do these things IL the Federalists had held
the Offices.
When the Federaliss had the power
Democrats magnified State rights, and
in their resolutions came very near ma
king States Independent natione, with a
right TO take remedies for wrongs in
their own hands When the tables were
turned, the Federalsts, who had made
so much of Federal power, became strict
ccnstructionists In their philosophy
whilst they were out they couldn't con-
sent that the Constitution allowed their
opponents to do anything they wanted
e. do.
The practical truth is when We, Us
& Co., have the power it is not in order
to impose restraints, for we arc going &c
do right; and help ourselves, and the
country, which means ourselves. If oul
opponents have the power, it must be
strictly construed; for they are going to
do wrong; and not do it for our benefit
either. If our party have the power, il
is very wrong to resist or rebel; but il
our opponents have power, it il right
and a duty to rebel AGAR 3>trut rasosls

The Cleveland Leader gives the follow
ing as having occurred at a Union meet
ing held in Euclid on Saturday evening:
Mr.. Ansel Walworth, one of the most
reliable citizens of this county, on being
called up made the following statement,
every word of which can be aubstantiated
by other equally reliable men:
When the armed citizens of the Re-
serve were on the way to the de-
fence of Cincinnati, last summer, they
found ample provisions made for their
sustenance at all the points where
refreshments were needed, except Al
Dayton. at that city our hungry
defenders were obliged TO solicit, or beg
like needy medicants and TO secure
something like an adequate supply, a
committee was appointed to visit the dit
forent portions of the town aud make
their wants known,
Mr., Walworth accompanied those OF
this committee, who in their round, Wis
tied the dwelling of @. l.. Vallandigham,
who was at home, and with whom an in
teryiew was held by the committee, in
the presence Of Mr.. Walworth.
The committeerespectIuly made known
their orrand to MIR. Vallandigham, and
stated for what purpose our citizens were
on their way South, that they were hum
cry, aud needed bread, meat, &c. To
this Mr. Yallandigham rephed "You
shall not have a morsel from me. Go
back home and stay there, and the reb-
els will not hurt anybody, Ii you were
all starving in the streets, / would not
give you q morsel of bread"

The Cincinnati Gazette says that it
has received advices from Knoxville to
the oath of September:
The last organized rebel force has been
expelled from East Tennessee. The
loyal people have almost filled seven reg
iments since the arrival of Gen. Burn
side. Forage and food are plenty and
our troops are IN good condition and fine
spirits. Communication was open with
Gen. Rosecrans on last Thursday, and
for the safety Of any forces that may
have gone to Chattanooga, we are assn
red there need be no apprehension. 1t
was difficult to restrain the loyal people
from laying violent hands on the rebels.
Notwithstanding the efforts of the mill
tary, several rebel citizens had been
killed The Secesh were, as usual,
worming themselves into the confidence
of our military men, aud il is alleged
that they are exercising a greater inAu.
ence, and obtaining greater privileges,
than are safe or proper.

remarkable Discoveries ia
POmpeIi.

New discoveries are reported from
Pompeii. A house has been discovered,
which, TO judge from the splendor Of its
interior, and its almost perfect furniture,
must have belonged to very wealthy
proprietor, The dining-room is paved
with mosaic. The completely served
table is covered with petrIiled remnants
of dishes; and around it are found three
divans, or table. beds, of bronze, richly
adorned with gold and silver upon which
reposed several skeletons. A great many
precious jewels were found near them.
On the table stood, among other orna-
ments, a very beautiful worked statue Of
Bacchus in silver, with eyes Of enamel, a
collar Of jewels, and precious armlets.

Several Russian ships-of- war--quite
formidable Heet--have arrived in New
York harbor. Wilkes explains this fact
thus:
"The secret of the whole matter is
that about two months ago, Russia ex-
pected to be attacked by France and
England, and should this have happened
suddenly, large portion of the Russian
fleet, which would be in excess for the
local service of the Mediterranean and
Baltic, would have been locked up and
lost to Russia till the war was over. She,
therefore, decided to gather together all
she did not require in those waters, and
to send them, as speedily as possible, to
the friendly harhors of this country,
perhas 10 be used along with our mont
tors aud cruisers, in the very probable
event of an alliance, offensive and def
fensiye, between herself and us. This
was shrewd calculation on the part of
the Russian Government"

II is said that a secession parson in
this city has applied for the position of
Chaplain in the 1st African regiment of
Tennessee. We don't often advise Sold
iers to mutiny, but if this rebel parson
be appointed Chaplain, we hope the
negroes will promptly kick him out of
their camp. These rebel preachers will
do any thing to make money. Wouldn't

treason

The organization Of Home Guards in
this State, to put down guerrillas; mus
tered into the service Of the State Of
Tennessee and Of the United States" is
exciting bitter opposition among Tennes-
see rebels, and galvanized Union men.
These foes of the Government dislike
every measure which tends TO crush out
the power Of traitors, and restore law
and order. But this was TO be expected;
il was expected. Many pretended Union
men want the county militia TO stand on
their reserved rights, and TO be indepen-
dent Of the Federal Government, after
being armed and paid by it. They want
to make our State military organization
perfectly worthless to everybody except
the rebels. These State Rights, or rather
County Rights men would either leave the
county companies 20 be cut TO pieces, or
captured, or else leave the whole burden
Of fighting bodies of rebels, numbering
two or three hundred, to United States
soldiers from Ohio, Indiana, aud other
States, without any assistance from the
Home Guards. If the Union men Of this
State are not willing to help bodies Of
United States troops, occasionally when
marching to destroy body Of guerrillas,
but after procuring arms and pay from
the Government, refuse to go out Of their
own county, they don't deserve protec.
ton. But our loyal men are not thus
selfish, and indolent, and the contempt
ible, misunderstanding politicians, wlo
arc seeking to dissatisfy them with the
proposed organization of Home Guards,
by preaching up County Rights" will
find that they have mistaken the loyalty,
good sense, and temper of the people.

The ,Obite Rock City Guards marched
through the streets of Nashville, not
many months ago, bearing the black flag
of treason, and shouting death TO the
Union lout Of their rebel throats. Yes

flag at their head, and playing Yankee
Doodle, and Hail Columbia. Who arc

interesting rebel sheet, the Nashville Re-

moro violent rebel editor in all Dixie than
the editor of the Banner, but we guess
his Vallandigham articles read very
much like his rebel articles. They are
all cut out Of the same cloth.

A Richmond refugee says the report
that jeff Davis is about to call several
hundred thousand negroes into the field,
is probably not without some foun dation.
The propriety and expediency of such q
measure has been subject of discussion
in the rebel cabinet for several months
past Many prominent rebels, including
Governor Bonham, of South Carolina,
have declared themselves in favor of it.
Governor BORhAm recommended, as far
back as April last, in letter to the rebel
Secretary of War, not only the srming of
= portion of the slaves, but that there are
$4,000 free negroes in the rebel States,
exclusive of Kentucky and Missouri, and
that all those TT for military duty should
be oonsoripted. Still there are "Union
men" in Nashville who roll up the whites
Of their eyes in pious horror at tho
thought of Arming negroes to fight rebels.

.4 The Richmond Enquirer, for more than
"a q quarter of a century the organ of the
Southern Rights party in Virginia, on the
aai 18th of September thus expressed its
opinion as to the cause of the present
war:
~ II sppears that Shareholders are averse,
dl for some reasons, TO hire their negroes in
loa the Confederate army The prejudice is
certainly an ignorant and mean one. is

The institution, IL is reasonable to suppose
that he ought to be the first and fore
Goa most in aiding, by every means in his
power, the triumph and success of our
arms. Good wages are offered, and pro-
per care and attention will be given every
negro hired to the army, and the slave
holder ought TO remember that for every
't negro he thus furnishes he puts soldier IN
The ranks.
rrcH This rebel journal, which was one of
OIL. the prime movers of the war, declares
that il was made in the interests of Ella
very, and to perpetuate the system and
it is an excellent witness in the case.
The rebellion was melted by the slave
aristOcrAcy, according to the evidence of
their own champion. And we also learn
from the same witness, that the slave
. aristocracy are unwilling to bear the bur
ba. den Of war waged for their own ag-
grandizement. Thus we have the author

Law of Military Arrests.

In the decision of the United States
Court on the subject of habeas corpus, in
cases where the prisoner is held in Gus.
tody under United States authority occurs
the following language, which will bear
quoting at the present time:
at is the duty of an officer, in such
cases, not to take the prisoner, nor sufer
hine to be taken, before State Judge or
Court upon a ha6eus corpus issued under
State authority" Chief Justice TaDey,
with the unanimous concurrence of the
Court, to make it emphatic enough adds
that if any State authority attempts to
take the prisoner from the custody of the
United States officer, "it acould be his
duty to resist at. and to call to his aid any
force that mi ght be necessary to maintain
the authority of the law against illegal
interference"
In casting about for means wherewith
to defend the laws, do our "Constituticn-
al' expounders ever see this bit of law.

VOTERS

See that you are assessed. To make
your right to vote certain this duty must
be attended to. Of course there is an
officer appointed to attend to the assess
ment; but accidentally, he might happen
to miss you. Look to the published list,
to be seen in the county Offices, and other
public places. If your name and your
neighbor's name, and the names of citizen
soldiers, absent in the late nine months
service, and perhaps absent now in the
service of the country, are not on it; see
that they are placed there. Every citi-
zen having a residence within the bounds
of this Commonwealth has right to vote.
We have reason to believe that a conspir-
acy has been organized by the Democracy,
where the assessors are of their ilk, to
defraud honest, confding men of their
votes. See to it, freemen, that you are
not thus defrauded.

OUR HONEE TICKET.

For Assembly, ARTHUR G. OLMsrED
Of this county has been presented for re-
election. His course last winter is thus
endorsed by his constituents as it should
be. During the session he succeeded in
removing over $4,000 Indebtedness of
our county to the State by prompt and
we'll timed discussion of the cause. His
record shows him to have alway7 voted
right upon the main questions Of the day,
and his course was such as to command
respect at home and abroad. He is an
able lawyer, staunch friend of the Ad-
ministration, good debater, and an hon.
est man. We see no good reason why
he should not receive large vote IN the
county. Our friends in Tioga have pre-
sented JOHN W. GUERNSEY, who comes
well recommended as a careful business
man honest, intelligent, and well-able to
do credit to his own and Potter counties
Let him receive cordial welcome.
For Prothcnotary, the present officer,
HENRY j. OLMTTED, has been nomina-
ted; who from his long experience has
become perfectly acquainted with all the
intricate affairs of the Office. Obliging
and attentive, no better person for the
position could be found. He will receive
the support of all of our own party and
many Of the better class Of his opponents
For Register & Recorder, DAN BAKER
was renominated. A good penman, care.
full and attentive, no fault has been or
can be found with the manner in which
the duties of this Office has been per-
formed. Integrity and loyalty will COM
mand large vote for this officer.
The office of Commissioner demands a
practical and prudent man, with generos-
ity sufficient to distinguish between a
niggardly and economical course. Such
a man we have found in RODNEY l..
NICHOLS, of Sharon. Successful in his
private business it is but fair to suppose
that he will be equally successful IN man
aging the affairs Of the county.
For Auditor, S. II. MARTIN, of Pike.
Mr.. Martin is one Of our most pectable
and honest citizens man who endeav.
ors 10 be just to all, and we have not the
slightest doubt but that he will make a
competent and efficient officer.
On the whole, we can recommend oul
Ticket as about the best that has ever
been formed in Potter. The nominations
were almost all unanimous or nearly sc
on the first ballot; the greatest harmony
prevailed, and we have no doubt but that
they will be supported as heartily as any
Ticket that could have been formed. Lei
our friends work Let every voter be al
the polls on the morning of the Election
Vote early and then see that your neigh
Dor also votes, aud that he votes right
Contradict all the stories that will doubt
less be circulated by the dark lantern party
and see to it that Potter rolls up an ole
fashioned majority.
