upon the intelligence of our citizens
and compliment to the editor of the
Pilot as undeseryed as it is unfounded.
If he really thinks that our citizens re-
gard his productions as evlncing even
medium ability and ingenuity, his self
conceit mUa1 be unbounded.
Mr.. Wells says there is 10 truth in
our statement that the voters Of New
York were promised that no draft
should be made in case Seymour was
except by "the great copper
head, Greeley, and his satellites" His
slur upon Mr.. Greeley is entirely gra-
tuitous. To substantiate the truth of
our averment, we would refer to Mr..
John Livernash, of this town, who was
then a resident of New Y ork, and was
then and is now a Democrat, and a
truthful, reliable man. He says that
the inducement was made to foreigners
particularly that if Seymour should be
elected no draft would be made or en-
forced

Republican Union State Convention.

A Republican Union State Conv ention will
be held at the Capitol in the city of Madison,
at 70 o'clock NJ, on Wednesday,, the 1911 dag Of
Il Auq,tst nert to nominate candidates for State
officers to be chosen at the general election in
November, and to take such other action as
the public welfare shall seem to demand
The chief public questions now before the
country are those relating to the present war,
and the proper method of dealing with the
rebellion. There is no reason why those who
concur substantially in opinion upon these
subjects should not now act together political
", whatever may have been their antecedentS.
We therefore cordially invite all electors to
unite in the election of delegates to the State
Convention aforesaid who approve Of the fol-
lowing propositions:
That the Union be preserved in its integrity
That the constitution and laws of the Uni
ted States be enforced throughout the whole
national domain;
That the rebellion be suppressed, not by
compromises with or concessions to traitors
but by the sword whose agency they have
themselves invoked;
That the National Administration sho aid be
heartily and generous Y supported, in its ef-
forts to pu, down the rebellion.
Each Senate and each Assembly district
will be entitled to two delegates in said State
Convention.
The Central Committee recommend to the
district committees that the conventions for
the election of delegates be held as early as
Saturday, the Sth day of August.

PuoT-1sMs.-Th editor of the Pilot
acknowledges that people living under
monarchical governments have the
right to revolutionize, but those living
under republican form of government
have no such right. Cannot the editor
conceive of circumstances under which
the people of this government would
have the right to revolutionize? We
venture to say that many school, chill
drnn in this town can do so for him.
While we re-affirm that IA people, be-
ing inclined and having the power"
have the right to overthrow the gov
ernment under which they may live,
neither Mr. Lincoln nor the Republican
party, nor any member of it, claim that
the people instigating the present re-
bellion are iustitiable, or that they have
any valid excuse for attempting it
No, sir. We have heard or read of
none other than Democrats and Aboli-
tionists who advocate the damnable
doctrine that the South rebclled te lsre-
serve their liberties ana to save their
property. But the editor of the Pilot,
after quoting from speech delivered
by Mr.. Lincoln several years ago,
wherein he endorses tke right of reyo-
lution-a RIGHT which has been sc-
knowledged as long as the nature and
objects of civil governments have been
discussed, but a right never to be ex-
ercised until the government becomes
too oppressive to be endured, and from
which oppression there is no lawful es-
cape-seeks to charge upon Mr.. Lin
coin the responsibility Of the doctrine
of secession. Neither Mr.. Lincoln,
nor those who stand with him politi-
cally, do now or ever did acknowledge
the right of one State of this Union to
secedc, under any circumstances what
ever. Those who advocate that right,
claim that it may be done lawfully and
constitutionally. To Mr.. Calhoun, and
the southern Democrats of his day, be,
longs the responsibility of first advanc.
ing and advocating that doctrine; and
his and their successors, who have fol-
years controlled the organization of the
Democratic party, are the more imnle
diate authors of the present rebellion
We hardly believe MIR. Wells sincere
in his conclusion that because Mr. Lin
coin acknowledges the right of revolu
ton, be is therefore responsible for the
PRONUNCIATION of the doctrine Of seces
sion; for if We do, it is at the expense
of his intelligence.
AS to the editors proposition to pub
lish the letter to Mr.. Lincoln from tn
the Albany Committee. we would sa.
that the correspondence between tn
officers of the convention, togethe
with the resolutions, and Mr.. Lincoln
reply, were all published in the Repo1

In view of the fact that iupressments are being
made in this and other Counties of corn and bacon
for the army, We would urge upon the County
Commissioners the Importance of purchasing at
once such supplies as will be needed for the indi-
gent There is no time to be lost in this business
After the government shall have got all it wants
the supply remaining on hand will be smat. Let
the Commissioners or their agents go to work at
once and secure what is necessary. Those who
have bacon and corn to spare will no doubt sell
promptly at fair prices. They would rather do this
than have their surplus supplies impressed We
are anxious to see the army supported, but pro-
vision must be made for the wives and children OF
