Judge Strong on the Conscripfion Act.
The New York Tribune says We
have before us the able opinion of
Judge Strong Of the Supreme Court
of Pennsylvania, lifelong Democrat.
affirming the constitutionality of the
Conscription Act. We give a synopsis
of its main points
I. Tue necessity of vcsting in the
Federal Government tho power to
raise and support armies was plain
to the trainers of the Constitution.
Hence the grant.
II. The object of this grant is not
answered by giving the government
control, in conjunction with the States,
over the Militia, when in actual ser.
vice, because it is often necessary that
the Government should have forces eX-
cIusivcly under its direction, to wicld
at its pleasure.
III. No limit is fixed by the Con
stitution as to the amount Of the forces
to be raised, nor the mode Of raising
them, nor is any restraint imposed
upon the manner Of using them.
". The circumstances existing in
this country aud in Europe at anc
anterior to this grant Of power that il
was il tended to confer authority tC
raise armies by compulsory draft i
need be. This does not trench upol
the reserved rights Of the States, ana
fairly conducted, is the most elua
mode ofdstributing the burden. AM
according to the opinion Of Chief jus
ticc Marshall, the drafted men may b,
treated as in the service from the mo
mcnt Of the draft.
| V. The right Of the government t.
compel the service ofal its citizens tt
preserve its existence is not an infringe
mcnt of their personal liberty depends
upon upholding the government.
VI. Nor do the compulsory features o
the Conscripiion Act, by taking por
ton of the materials Of the militia in
tcricrG with the rights ot the State
ovGr their own militia, any more tha
would tho filing up Of the Union ~
mics by volunteer enlistment; for, i
9 either case, the men would be those {
: which the militia is composed, Th
States hold their power over the ~
litia subordinate to the power OF Cor
i grcss to raise and support armies

Capt. j. w. stlnehsomb the Real Hero.

We are informed on the best author
ity from the Army that Capt. ]. W.
SrINcncoMB was the real hero Of Chic
amauga. That after Thomas corps
was thrown into confusion by the
breaking of the Federal line, and was
being routed, Captain STINcHcoMB was
the first to rally several hundred men
and make q stand. This little band
of heroes formed a nucleus around
which the corps gathered and with
stood the onslaught of the rebels.
1t will be a gratiAcStion toNhemany
friends Of the Captain to know this
and they should cndeaE or to have hin
promptly promoted.

Col. coaneIl at Home.

Colonel CoNNELL arrived in Lancas-
ter on last Thursday, having resigned
his command. He comes fresh from
Chickamauga, and with the dust Of
battle still upon his garments, to take
his seat in the Ohio Senate, with such
men as WEST, GUNcKEL, STEVENSON
MAGrNNIs, &C., among whom he will
no doubt take the firstrank. With such
men, and with the brilliant ANDERSON
as its presiding officer, the next Serate
in ability and character, will perhaps
be the finest ever assembled in Ohio.

Called in Cincinnati for the
Sd Of December Next.
NEW Ynnr Nnu o 1863

New YoRK, Nov. 9, 1868.
DEAR.SIR-You are respectfully in
vited to attend convention, to be held
at Cincinnati, Ohio, on the Sd day of
December, ut II o'clock, NJ, for tho
purpose of consultation, and taking
such action as may be deemed most
effective to secure the nomination and
election of conservative men in the
approaching Presidential campaign.
The meeting will be composed of Old
line Wings, War Democrats ard con-
servative men, without regard to for
mer party predilections-friends of
Jackson, Webster, Clay and Crittenden
who desire to preserve the Union and
the Constitution unimpaired who are
willing to take their stand upon the
Kentucky platform, opposed alike to
Secession and Abolition fanaticism;
who believe that the war should be
carried on until those in armed revolt
are compelled to obey the Constitution
and the laws of Congress, and who
hold that the State Governments sus-
pended by the revolt should be re-
stored under their State Constitutions
respectively. All such persons are
invited to be present.
The meeting will be held under the
auspices of the National Conservative
Union Committee, appointed at the re-
cent Rochester Convention, of which
the venerable patriot Amos Kendall,
is chairman; that committee having
been called to meet at the same time
and place. In his letter to the Secre-
tary, Mr.. Kendall writes:
"The only sure platform for patri-
otic men who love the Union is, 'Ihe
Constitution as it is. With the gentlo-
men whose names you mention, (mem-
bers Of the committec,) am prepared
to co operate in the attempt to unite
the conservative elements Of the coun-
try in the next Presidential election,
and it seems to me no time should be
lost in determining upon Il line Of pol
icy to be steadily pursued, hencef0rth." "
Persons arr. wing to attend the meet
ing will please report their names to
the National Committee, at the Burnet
House Inclosed please find proceed
ings of the Rochester meeting.
Your presence is earnestly solicited ;
that we may have the benefit of your
: counsel.
By order of the committee.

The War Democrats, the National Com
ssrvativss, and the Peace Democracy.
Elsewhere we publish the proceed
ings of a meeting held at Columbus,
on the 18th inst, by the State Central
Committee of the War Democracy, in
which it was resolved to invite the
Democracy to assemble in Mass Con-
vention at Columbus, on the Sth of
January, 1864, for the purpose of send
ing Delegates to National Conven-
ton, and making nominations for
State officers.
Several weeks since, we published
the call for a Conference Of War DEM
ocrats, to meet at Chicago, on last
Wednesday.
The invitation of the National Con
servative Union party, to attend q
Convention to be held in Cincinnati
on the Sd of December next, will also
be found in another column.
Also, some account ofthe meeting
of the Peace Democratic Executive
Committee, in which it was determin-
cd to hold State Convention on the
third Monday Of March next.
We have thus three parties already
entering the field, viz the War Dem,
ocracy. in favor Of q vigorous prosccu'
ton of the war, but opposed to the
radical measures of the Administration
the National Conservatives, in favor
of prosecuting the war until the rebel
ion is suppressed, and Of "the Consti
tuition as it is" but opposed alike tt
Abolition and Secession; ard the Peac
Democracy, opposed to the prosecution
of the war.
There is another, q fourth party
, which has not yet issued call for
Convention. 1t is the Union party
9 which lately swept the loyal State
like hurricane, and which makes br
one issue, viz; the vigorous prosecl
tion of the war until the rebellion
% % suppressed. Should the war continu
during 1861, it will, on the same pla
:, form, elect the next President, ShouI
tho rebellion be suppressed before IL
Presidential election, the great cues
ion will be that Of reconstructed
when the Union party will have q
- opportunity to show that it is
T. Union party and not an Abolition pa
tv. In our judgment, most ofthe Stat
will settle the Slavery question f
> themselves by adjustment, before b
. ing re admitted.

COLUMBUS, NOV. 10.
A few badly demoralizcd stragglers
from the lately stampeded army Of
Ohio butternuts shut themselves upin
the Attorney Generals room to-day,
and called themselves Democratic
Executive Committee. 1t was the
most select conclave ever held, and
would have been the most solemn, if
there hadn't been so much fighting
among the members. There were va
rious opinions as TO tie proper timo
for holding the State Convention The
uncompromising butternuts, repre-
scntcd by Sam. Medary, wanted it on
the Sth Of January. The soft shells of
the Statesman school, were in favor of
waiting until after the holding of the
Union nominating conventions. After'
good deal of wranglng, they agreed
to hold it on the third Monday in
March This was evidently COM,
promise between the wings-one par
ty tavoring the postponement till july.
and the other insisting that it should'
be held on the 9th of January.

THE powNFALL OF SLAVERY.

AS the Federal armies advance, IL
seems that the Rebellion and Slavery
20 down together The destruction Of
Slavery is, of course, incidental to the
suppression of the rebellion, the two
being so intimately connected that the
suppression of the one destroys the
other. Wherever the war. goes it
leaves tho institution in dying con-
dition behind it, Or rather, it breaks
the chains from the tongues and the
hands of the anti-slavcry men Of the
South and leaves them free to speak
and vote their sentiments.
Among tho most recent indications
of the downfall Of slavery, we notice
the remarkable Address Of the Hon.
q. w. CAN'T, to the people of Ar
kansas. lie had been u prominent
pro-savcry man ilf that State, had
served two years in the rebel army, and
had been parolcd prisoner in the
North, with opportunity to study the
institutions Of the North, and the
character of the Northern people, lie
returns to Arkansas to tell the people
of that State that the rebellion is hope
less, and that slavery must die. lie
announces himself willing to let the
institution perish, believing that it has
accomplished its mission, lie will nc
doubt be among the first to propose &
free Constitution for the State Of Ar
kansas, and its re.admission into th'
Union rs n free State.
The late elections in Missouri anc
MARYLAND are, however, the most sig
nificant and remarkable. In Missouri
f the Radical or anti.slavcry party trI
umphcd, and Missouri Legislature
, elected the distinguished Radical b
GRATz BnowN to the Senate of tn
| United States. Slavery is dead il
Missouri when b. GRATz DHow
/ takes his scat in the Senate by tn
, side of CuAS SUMNER, OF Massachusetts
y. and battles with him against the in
etitution. In Maryland the clcctio
y resulted in the triumph ofthc Emau
cipation party. Both branches of tn
Legislature have II majority in fave
! of calling Convention to make Mary
, land free State. Twelve out OF III
-. 2l members of the Senate and % OF
of the Il members Of the House ar
, pledged to vote for Convention
. aud it is thought that the Unio
-, members who are not pledged wi
- also voto for it. The change

Ietters for Soldiers.

We are requested to call the atten--
ton of the friends of the soldiers to the
Importance Of prepayng in fM every
description of mail matter sent by
them. If you are not certain about
the weight of Il package, it is but little
trouble to- ask your Postmaster to test
it on his sc,des. This will save both.
time aud money to- the soldier, and
relieve the postal officers of a great
source of annoyance. TO illustrate:
At present Nashville, Tennessee, is the
point where the mails for Gen! Grants
army centre; thence they are taken'
by military conveyance to the different
corps. The postal law forbids Post,
masters suffering fny mail upon which
postage is due, leaving their custody
before that postage is paid. A pack
are or letter for soldier at Chatta-
nooga is received at Nashville, due
six cents" II is there detained until
notice can be sent to the front, the soldier
found, and the sir cents forwarded to the
postmaster and all this delay is occa-
stoned by some careless friend at home
who neglects to pay theproper postage.
The Abolition of slavery and the Laber
Question.
One cry of the demagogue Secess-
ionists is, sunless the negroes are
forced back into bondage, they will
cheaper free labor by competition"
How stupid! Will there not be as
much work in the country when ne
groes are free as now? Gan negroes
do anv more when free than now? Arc
the whites inferior to the blacks, 80
that only fetters can keep the negro
from supplanting the white man? #
the slavery of the negro is so favorable
to white labor, why is it that white
labor does not prosper in slave Statesf
WHY is it that South of Mason and
Dixon's line the Irish get no employ
mont, except along tho rivers, whore
slaves cannot be trusted or on the lines
of railroads, where lives worth . thou
q sand dollars will not be risked? We
! tell you, Irish and German working:
men, the theory Of slavery is not that
black men should be slaves, but that
= labor, white or black, should be owned
4 by capital. If you say amen to that
, doctrine, get yourselves appraised
I throw yourselves, your wives and chill
:. dren into the market. A whole taml'
