COMM UNICATIONS.
For The Democrat.
Rev. II, BRowNsCoMBE.


SIR:
You say, in
your last communicat ton, that your : first
impression Of perusing mine of the 7th inst. ,
was to treat it with silent contempt" You
doubtless thought that would be your safer
course and you may yet come to the con-
clusion that first impressions are best.
You will hardly succeed either by your
silly twaddle or your sneaking attempts to
cast your slime upon democrats through a
democratic paper, in diVerting attention
from yourself; and it will be time to consid-
er the " eulogy" to which I am entitled for
proving mans no horse" when attempt
it; it is sufficient for the present that /
prove a minister worse than an ass.
1 wish now, sir, briefly to remind you
and the public of the history of this contro-
versy. | reviewed a sermon of yours, In
which you professed to reply to letter of
Bishop Hopkins-showing that your sermon
consisted of charges of misQuoting the scrip
lures on the part of the Bishop, and of mis-
representations throughout. This you con-
cede | had right to do, as sermons are
public property" You then challenged
me 70 discussion Of this question: "Is
American slavery consistent with the Bible
or with christianity" I accepted the chal-
lenge, so changing the statement os the ques
ton, however, as TO put you on the afirma-
tive, as the challenging party. You then
came out in long article, not in discussion
of the question proposed, but in reference to
things in the review of the sermon tha; you
deemed personal to yourself charging me
with falsehood and SANDER in the caption of
the revew-this being the only exception
that you took to the article, | then replied
to your gentlemanly charges of falsehood
and slander-proving that when | spoke Of
your sermon as an abolition Sermon" l
said no more than you had impliedly con-
fessed, again and again. 1t is difficult to say
what you do discuss in your last, further
than that you do not seem disposed to con-
slider anv of the issues raised
Now, sir, 1t the review OF your sermon did
you injustice, why did you not publish the
sermon, as you have since implied that it
was written, though | had no idea that il
was2 In this way, if your sermon was
what you would have US believe it was, you
would have not only answered the Bishop,
but also have vindicated yourself against the
review. The question would then have been
fully open for discussion at the same time.
You thus had an opportunity of vindeating
yourself and your side of the question:
This you have not seen fit to do, but have
proposed question, in form that you at
least ought to have known, would not be ac-
cepted, merely to get my name, as it seems,
for the purpose of raising personal alterca-
tion-commencing with charges of faisehood
and SANDER.

18th Oct, 1868, before me, :
NJ. w. DEWITT j. 2. }

also charged you with having denounced
democrats as copperheads from the pulpit
You now say I" | have never denounced dem
ocrats as Copperheads." made this charge,
sir, upon the distinct statement of a prom-
nent member of your church at Meshoppen,
that you did, at the Brick Chapel, speak Of
democrats, generally, as copperheads. Hav-
ing proved you false in one instance, do not
deem it necessary to produce evidence on
this point. leave it between you and the
members of your church, merely adding the
maxim of the law, tdlsus in uno, tdtsus III
omnibus false in one thing, false in every
thing.
Now, sir, it will hardly be expected that
/ should have any further words with you, on
this or any other subject | must add, how
ever, that your very facetious remarks, about
my conscription in the army, are in keeping
with the gentlemanly(O and christian(O }
spirit, that you have uniformly manifested in
this controversy,
To the public, have only to say, in justi-
fication of the language have used, that it
was unavoidable in bringing vacillating and
unscrupulous foe to any point, here he could
be held until he was duly unmasked.
Now, sir, tip the shovel and let you Slide

The Fruits of Abolition Rule.

Anterior to 1860, how wonderful we were
developing all the physical, moral and mem
tai resources of a great nation What con.
cord reigned, what security for liberty and
property. What a magnificent vista ahead
of us. Now how changed. The republican
party has been in power in the Federal Gov.
ernment not three years. What is the pic
ture That scene which the great Webster
prayed his dying eyes might never rest up
on, has come to pass. States are rent with
fraternal feuds, and drenched with fraternal
blood Discord has come instead of peace
The land is full of mourning for the loss of
the first born ; children are weeping for their
fathers, and gray-haired men are bowed
down with grief for the loss of their
boys. Families are severed-cripples totter-
ing along our streets, mute monuments Of a
bloody strife. Debt, too, has come upon US
in gigantic shape, and taxation has laid its
heavy hand upon US. Every thing materi al
feels 1t. Everything that we eat, drink, or
handle, from the swaddling clothes of the in.
FAINT to the shroud of the parents. The Sec
retary of the Treasury says the debt is but
eleven hundred millions. 1t is twice that,
and is growing daily larger. The Govern
ment, too, has substituted Federal curren
cy for the old State currency. 1t has, in
fact, substituted the old French banking sys
tenn. 1t has forced upon US money which,
outside of the country, is not worth the pa
per it is printed on, and in the country it is
40 per cent. discount, while the tax is equal
to $40 upon every man, woman, aud child in
the country. But ascending to matters of
higher consideration-if it is possible to do
so-we see all the rights, safe guards, and
immunities of the cltizen-the trial by jury,
the habeas corpus, the right of free speech,
and free press; indeed, the glorious panoply
of the Bill of Rights-our amendments to
the Federal Constitution-swept remorse
iesslg away by this Administration.

PRESIDENTS PROCLAMATION.
Another Call for Three Hundred Thous-
and Volunteers.
A DRAFT TO BE MADE ON THE FIFTH
OF JANUARY.
By the President ftte United States,

Uhereas The term Of service Of part of
the volunteer forces of the United States
Will expire during the coming year; and
Whereas, In addition to the men raised
by the present draft, il is deemed expedient
to call out three hundred thousand volun-
teers, to serve for three years or the war
not, however, exceeding three years
Now, therefore, [, Abraham Lincoln, Pres
ident Of the United States and commander
in-chief of the army and navy thereof, and of
the militia of the several states when called
into actual service, do issue this my procla
nation, calling upon the governors of the
different states to raise and have enlisted in
to the United States service, for the various
companies and regiments in the field from
their respective states, their quotas of three
hundred thousand men,
I further proclaim that all the volunteers
thus called out and duly enlisted shall re-
celve advance pay, premium, and bounty, as
heretofore communicated TO the governors of
states by the War Department, through the
provost-marshal generals office, bv special
letters.
further proclaim that all volunteers re-
ceived under this call, as we'll as all others
not heretofore credited, shall be duly credit
ed and deducted from the quotas established
for the next draft.
l further proclaim that, if any state shall
fail to raise the quota assigned to it by the
War Department under this call, the draft
for the deficiency in said quota shall be
ma lie in said state, or on the districts of
said state, for their due proportion of sald
quota, and the said draft shall commence on
the fifth day of January, 1864.
And [ further proclaim that nothing in
this proclamation shall interfere with exist
ing orders, or with those which NAV be is
sued for the present draft in the states W here
1t is now in progress or where it has not vet
been commenced.
The quota of the states and dist rlcts will
be assigned by the War Department, through
the Provost marshal generals Off &c, due re
gard being had for the men heretofore fur
nished, whether by volunteering or drafting
and the recruiting will be conducted in ac-
cordance with such instruction as have been
or may be issued by that department..
In issuing this proclamation, address N.Y.
self not only to the gouer nors of the several
states, but also to the good and loyal people
thereof, inrokuag them to lend their cheerful,
arttiing, and effective aid TO The measures
thus adopted, Nth rie,o TO reinforce on,
victorious armies now in the field, and
bring our needfuL military operations 10 a
prosperous end, thus closing torerer the
fountains OF Sedition and cirH lcar
In witness whereof have hereunto set
my hand and caused the seal of the United
States to be affixed.
Dope at the city Of Washington, this seven
teenth day of October, in the year of our
Lord one thousand eight hundred and six
ty three, and of the independence of the
United States the eighty eighth.

e. The expenses of the present Aboli.
ton Administration are nearly two millions
of dollars per day. This enormous sum is
lavished upon, shoddy contractors, Go, ,ern
ment officials, and political demagogues.-
Thousands of dollars of it have been spent in
Pennsylvania, during the present campaign,
to defeat the will of the people and aid in
the election of Curtin. The Treasury has
been plundered and the masses have been
robbed of their hard earnings by the corrupt
and faIthess men in power.

1t is evident that you had no intention of
discussing the question proposed-lke your
protesting brother, Bishop Potter, you much
prefer protesting to argument. And, to
show you that am not ashamed of the COM
pany of Bishop Hopkins, call your atten
ton to his reply, which I understand is to
be published in the same issue of the Demo-
crdt with this communication, to such pro-
testing gentlemen you are, who do not see
fit to argue tho question. You seem really
panied that do not declare my convictions
ON the question. The public, sir, will judge
of the merit of our relative positions you
protesting against and denouncing an institu-
tion, while you shrink from the considera-
tion of the question, whether or not that in
s1itution is condemned or sustained by the
Bible; declining either to csnsure or sp-
prove, until the arguments are considered.
Well, | repeat, may your endorser, in the
Republican, declare that "there are men
who dare act without first inquiring what
God has decreed." l know that you claim
that you are asked to prove negative but
you are not quite so weak as not to know
that this claim is all fudge If you do not,
and are really sincere in this palaver, let me
refer you to Mills system logic, page 27,
where he explains how it is, that words pos
tive in form are negative in sense, while
others, negative in torn, are really positive.
" Inconvenient," he cites, as an example of
the latter-haying the positive Specification
of discomfort or annoyance" How plain
the analogy between this and the word in
consistent, about which you quibLle SO
much, as denoting disagreement or conflict.
The public have seen at glance how vastly
more easy it is TO prove a conflict between
slavery and the Bible, If there is any, than
to show that there is no conflict. | care not,
therefore, if Bishop Hopkins was attempting
to prove a negative, this would hardly justi-
fly you, as tho challenging party to discus
sion, in declining, in the first instance, to at
tempt to prove positive or an affirmative.
Of piece with your pettifogging on this
point, are your remarks about the laws pro-
tecting men in eating and drinking. Did
you ever know of any law to protect indi-
viduals id the enjoyment of eating and drink
ing what they please2" If you know any
thing about the very first principles of the
law, you would have known that The law ex-
pressly declines to interfere with the abso-
lute duties of men, or such as affect thom-
selves individually They may therefore be
drunken and guttonous as they please, s.
long as they do not offend against pnbIic de-
cency, the law neither protecting or restrain
ing them. As there is no law upon the sub
iect. no legal implication can possibly arise
The law has nothing more to do with the
slave trade, unit II prohibited it i; implying
thereby that it was wrong, while up to that
time, there was no legal implication on the
subject.
But, sir, to come to the only point that
shall consent to have any words with you
about. After charging me with falsehood

Major General Mcclellan on the Election
In PeHnsylv ania,

ORANGE, N. j., Oct. II
Hon. Charles J. Biddie, Philadelphia:
DEAR Sir My attention has been called
10 an article in the Philadelphia Press, assert
ing that had written to the managers of the
Democratic meeting at Allentown, disapprov-
ing the objects of the meeting, and that if
voted or spoke it would be in favor of Curtin.
! am informed that similar assertions have
been made throughout the State. 1t has
been my earnest endeavor heretofore to avoid
participation in party politics, and had de
termined to adhere to this course but it is
obvious that | cannot long maintain silence
under such Misrepresentation. !, therefore,
request you to deny that have written any
such letter, or entertained any such views as
those attributed to me ia the Philadel phia
Press. desire to state clearly and distinct.
ly, that, having some few days ago had full
conversation with Judge Woodward, fnd
that our views agree, and regard his cleo
tion as Governor called for by the interests of
the nation. understand Judge Woodward
to be in favor of the prosecution Of the war
with all the means at the command of the
loyal States until the military power of the
rebellion is destroyed. l understand him to
be OF the opinion that, while the war is waged
with all possible decision and energy, the
policy directing it should be in consonance
with the principles of humanity and civiliza-
tion, working no injury to private rights and
property not demapded by military law
among civilized nations. And finally, un
derstand him to agree with me in the opinion
that the sole great objects of this war are
the restoration of the unity of the nation, the
preservation of the Constitution, and the
supremacy Of the laws of the country. Be.
lievng that our opinions entirely agree upon
these points, would were it in my power,
give to Judge Woodward my voeo and my
vote.
am very respectfully, yours,
GEO. B. MCCLELLAN.

IL The latest election returns from
this state, renders it quite certain that Cur
tins majority in the state will not fall far
short of 15,000-about half the number of
voters. admitted by the abolition journals, TO
have been sent into the state to control the
result. Elections in France, under Napole-
on, and in the United States, under old Abe,
have about the same result, 60 far as an ex-

E Drafted men, who are perfectly
like to "villainous saltpetre," are referred to
Billy Button of the Republican, who having
had thorough and successful experience in
playing the sneak, in this line, will no doubt
give them the modus operandi, by which a
man with no physical disability or deformity
except monstrous beet,c ,colored nose
can evade the draft by creeping out of a
small hole. Billy has crawled clear through,
and has come out as "loyal" as ever. We
can see no reason why his abolition friends,
who have no nasal g. bust" could not do the
same thing under his Instructions -" Loyal
Leaguers," give him a call.
