W When General Eweu occupied Chnm-
bersburg, he told the people that there must
be no Interference with his army. If aoy
such attempt VAS made it would he resented

any farmer Of York or Adams took down his
gun and shot the rebel thief at his stable
door, he would be suspended to the nearest
tree In bis orchard This is called compelling
obedierce to military authority. When the
Union Generals went into the South, they
were assailed and harrassed BY gucri1las, who

Tic Emancipation Swint3Ic.

lFrom the St. Louis Democrat, July 81
We have yet failed to meet one sound
Emanctpationfst who does not express him
self utterly disgusted with the sham, mud
swinlle sought to be forced upon tho people
Of Missouri, BY our late pro slavery ConYen-
measure intended to strengthen slavery and
tasten 1t upon the State Of Missouri, not for
thirteen years merely, as 1t Processes, but for
oil time. How any intelligent man eau view
It in any other light, passes comprehension.
i Is yet too soen to receive an expression
from other portions OF the State, except 60
far as we hays accidentally met with citizens
from them passing through our city. From
these We hear but one yolce, and SO soon as
tho people have time to examine the cnormity
which las been imposed upon then, In utte:
defiance Of their known sentiments and the
total Disregard Of their rightfu1 soYezeisnty,
" paad OF recreants exercising an un(i-
cenfed authority; aud particularly vixen they
come to fully comprehend the ipf4my involved
in the proposition Of excepting the property
OF disloyal shareholders from taxation, while
Shareholder is taxed 10 ite full value to snp-
Port the Government, we shalt tcar such .
thunder Of dsnunciation as will ehakc Ma.
Enuri as 1t has never been before. If We ara
not much mistaken, Our conservative po1!ti-
clans, who have been parties to this internal
outrage upon great people, already polsti-
caly dead, buried and dan.nca, will fial The
day Of judgment at hard much sooner than
they anticipated.
:. OF course our Copperhead brethren arc de-
lighted They have got just whas thsJ want-

hourss intcrmiEsion, for the last twenty years,
shouts Bravo ~ over the Conventions work.
Such will be the voice Of every p1oelaycry
journal in the State. Do anti slavery men
want any other evidence Of tho true chsr,cter
Of the measures 1t was framed by slaysry's
friends to protect slaresy'a liic aud interests.
Al Intelligent STAKEHOLDER boastingly said to
us yesterday, "Iwould not tnke double for
my e1avcs tot day what would have done two
weeks ago." This is the eplrit-this Is the
feeling.
Our poor conservative hslf aaa half, onthc-
fence Clay hanks, are in "a 1ncst distressing d.
1t1npa. They freely admit the measure IS not
what they wanted The delegates from this /
city, who voted for 1t, arc going round apolo-
Eizing for their action by slyjng sit vas the
best thirg they could get" Poor time sery-
ers, they didn't hare the manliness to spurn
au insult to their constituents and the State.
like Messrs. Drake, Meyer and Bush, BECAUSE
they couldn't get what thcx-the people they
proiessea to represent wanted. For thca
We lave Infinitely less respect than for the
men Who voted for the measure from p,inci-
pie. They knew 1t was q fraud, aud yet Iu-
torsed it. Protesting to be friends Of free
dom, they bowed their necks and marched
seEVIely under the yoke Of slavery.

CONWAY AND MAsos.-M. c Couwuy's
assumption in his correspondence with the
rebel Mason that he represented the Aboli-
tionists Of the United States, is resented By
Willinm Lloyd Garrison. The idea that the
Abolitionists would make disunion peace Is
secuted. Dir. Conway acted solely upon his
own responsibility In all his assertions and
promises. The idea is absurd and would have
had no weight in this country, except to fur
nizh CoppeEheads with new grounds Of at
tack against loyal men. By the refusal to
recognise Mr. Conway, that crumb Of COM
tort is now denied them.

ALFRED FOSTER, from wirt.

Alfred Foster, the delegate from Writ, is
native of that county, which formerly
constituted part of Wood. He is 43 years
of age; is tall and rather good looking
gentleman; hair considerably gray and cut
short; eyes very black and piercing; FORE
head high; features regular; and expires.
sion of face sharp and shreWd; shaves par
tally, and wears dark Whiskers around his
face.
Mr.. Fosters father was blacksmith,
and he lived at home aud assisted his IA
ther in the shop till he arrived at his ma.
jority, but never learned the details of the
trade. Had two younger brothers who
did SO, neither of whom are now living
Alfred was the oldest child. While young
man he was elected lieutenant, and subse.
quehtly major and then colonel OF militia.
Was elected magistratein the:spring of'56,
and two years afterWard, sheriff OF his
county. Two years Rfterward he was re.
elected and served till the beginning Of the
present year. Has been married twice.
Shortly after his first marriage he engaged
in the lumber business and Joined partner
in building saw and grist mill. After sew
eral years spent in this business he sold out
and engaged in merchandising,aud after five
or six years in that line resumed his former
business aud continued in 1t until elected
sheriff in '5s.
He had been thorough Whig, up to '6e,
when he Joined the Know. .nothings. His
county has always been largely Demo-
clatic, and it speaks well for SIR. Fosters
personal popularity at home that the 0e-
mocracy of his county gave him aliberal
support despite his Whiga aud Know moth
ing procliyities.
Respecting the institution of slavery, Mr..
Foster has been heretofore pro slavery in
his views; has thought that slavery was
great evil, but not necessarily sin
under all circumstances; was oppos-
ed to interfering with the institution
in any way, and wanted to let the owners
of slaves manage them in their own way.
He opposed secession, and voted against
the ordinance and labored for its defeat
Has long been favorable to making new
State out of Western Virginia; and goes
warmly for supporting the Administration
in putting down the rebellion by force.
Mr.. Foster does not make speeches in the
House, bat is always there to vote. he is
active and energetic in his attention to bu.
siness, is socially very agreeable gentle
man, and is we'll respected member.
