Arch bishop Hughes on Politics.

= Archbi. .hor Hughes, in note address
cd 10 the Editor of the Herald, thinks
that 'ifa law of conscription had been
adopted twenty months ago in the North,
as it had been in the South, the results
would be of more humane consequences
to both sect ions than they are to day
And he further adds
"All the predictions ever expressed in
words or ever entertained in thought BY
the archbishop Of Now York have been
too truly verified in the results of our uu-
happy civil war. The only difference is
that the Archbishop thought. that by
early propositions of conciliation the wal
might have been either prevented nr ,hal
,fIs auration might not nave been protract
ed so long"
Archbishop Hughes disclams all pol
itical partisnnship; he says she never
had any political course, and never has
or will exercise any influence on politics
= But this does not prevent him from seeing
what the whole werd sees, if not blinded
by prejudice. that "by early propositions
of.conciliation, the war might have beet
either prevented" or shortened. On whom
then, rests the responsibility of this pro
tracted war

CAMP NEAR BELLE PLAINS, VA. {
March 26th, 1863.
My Dear Col :

ivy De0f C0I
The notes of preparation
are being sounded, and the "Army Of the
Potomac may move at any moment.-
The great trouble heretofore in rapid
movem ents has been the impossbilty of
moving wagon trains. This is now obvi-
ated by having number Of pack.mules
for each Division to carry ammuaition.-
BY late order it seems that this Corps,
(Reynold's lst) is about to move and the
men are allowed to carry only an over
coat, one shirt, drawers, and one pair
of stockings. Mounted officers must car
ry everything they want on their horses,
and each Regt. of Infantry, is allowed
two packm to carry officers blankets
and rations.
All this looks like work, and best of all
will enable US to follow up any advantage
We may gain over the enemy.
Discipline is now very strict, and Gen,
Hooker, to al! intents and purposes, has
made this a regular army. As u'ual,
though, the strictness will probably cease
when active operations are resumed,
You doubtless have read of many ro.
mantle incidents during this war. AL.
low me to mention an incident, the facts
of which know to be true. Many who
were "soldiering" in the spring. of 1862
may remember Kate B. who stopped
at the "Clarendon" in Fredericksburg Va
and who sometimes rode gray horse, and
by many was called "Charlie." She has
been with McDowell's Corps ever since

private in the army. When Kings Di.
vision left Fredericksburg to reinforce
Pope at Culpepper, she made that forced
march on foot, carrying her musk0t
knapsack and equipments. AT the Rap
pahannock Ford, during Pope's retrea
she was slightly wounded, and at Bu
Run reo'd severe bayonet wound in the

Abolition Leagues.

We warn all Democrats, all laboring
mon, all lovers Of liberty, and all opposcrs
of The abolition jobbers and robbers of the
present abolition party, to beware of and
.tand clear Of the abolition leagues which
they are trying to form. 1t is the aboli-
tion party. They see that their organiza-
tion ia gone. They dare not come into a
contest under their old names. They are
forced to restore to new Know Nothing,
Wide Awake rick, stupid as tits, to
maintain the least show OF success. Let
laboring men remember that it is the old
Abolition, Know Nothing party. The
parry that drew geographical lines and
formed sectional parties. The party that
called the Democrats "Union savers
and ridiculed the idea oil the very d.unon
and civil war they were making. The
party that got up the Wide Awakes to
march liberty and bread out of the poor
mans possession. The party that prom
ised good times, high wages, honesty, re-
form and low taxes, and immediatel y re-
fused measures of adjustment and began
4 the most stupendous system ofparty rob-
cry, fanaticism and corruption ever known
in this country. The party that has ban
ished gold aud silver, justified mobs, tried
to suppress newspapers and gag the very
men whom they are now seeking to entrap
1t is the party which makes the negro the
equal OF the laboring man, which seeks to
oyerrids National and State Constitutions
which bribes men in State Legislatures,
and which seeks a centralized despotism.
rhe old Democratic party-the party of
the Constitution and the Union, is good
enough. 1t is the party that gave US great
ness, prosperity, hard money, good wages,
cheap goois and national security. Let
no new tangled hocus pocus entrap you
again. Their effch is alreany a foilure'
o The honest people are against them.

Collision i'm Delaware

The Legislature of Delaware having
passed an act against illegal and arbitrary
arrests of citizens of that State, by the
General Government, Governor Cannon,
who is Black Republican, has issued a
proclamation, stating his inability, by the
Constitution of the State, to veto the act.
virtually surrenderipg the authority of the
State into the hands ofthe General Gov
ernment. He refuses to carry out the pro-
visions of the act just passed, and declares
that the "people of Delaware hold true
allegiance to the Government of the
United States as paramount to the State
of Delaware, and that they obey the con
stitutional authorities thereof before the
Legislature of the State Of Delaware, or
any other human authority whatso-
ever"
The Legislature have since adopted the
following resolution
Resolved, That the doctrines Of Cover
nor Capnon's address in regard to arbitrary
and lawless arrests, are, if carried out
fatal to constitutional liberty, destructive
of the peace and security of our people,
and deserve and hereby receive at the
hands of the Legislature of Delaware,
prompt and indignant population and are
declared worthy of the severest reprehen
sion of people who inherited the privil.
eges OF freemen and wish 10 preserve them
unimpaired.
Governor Cannon, it will be remember
ed, was elected in consequence OF the i'll
reference Of the military forces in Della
ware at the last election. The member:
of Congress and the Legislature are Dem
ocratic. The Legislature should impoact
him at once.

TUESDAY, April 7th, 1862.
The Senate was called to order at i03
o'clock by the Speaker.

Mr. Bound called up the bill TO change
the Location Of the Bank of Northumber-
land from Northumberland to Sunbury.
[Since reconsidored, J, Passed finally.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES,.
TUESDAY, Aprit 7th, 1869,
The House was called to order at 81
a. m. by Speaker Cessna.
AFTERNOON SESSION.
The House proceeded 10 the final con.
sideralion of bills upon the private caan-
der and over one hundred were passed.
The account Of the Postmaster of Har.
risburg, for postage during March
amounting to s2,52l go, was presented
Mr. Rex moved to appoint comm tttee
Of five to investigate this account. Not
agreed to.
Mr.. Thomas moved to re-commit to the
Committee on Accounts, and to authorize
them to send for persons and papers.
Mr. Rex being called on to furnish evi-
dence of malpractices, asserted that he had
been handed the names of persons who
were willing to testify to such malpracticos
in the Harrisburg Postofice.
AT this point, letter was received from
the Postmaster, George Bergner, in which
he requested the members Of the Legisla.
ture to comply with the Postoifice Law
and prepay their documents by stamps
The letter reflected severely on the char
acter Of those of the members who voted
to investigate the accounts of the Post
master.
The Speaker declared that no such let
ter, in such insulting terms, could go upoi
the records of the House.
Finally special committee Of five wa
appointed with power to send for person
and papers, and investigate the accounts
Mr.. Rex stated that one month sine
be had made some remarks upon thi
subject, which the Postmaster (who is al
so publisher of Legislative RecOra) ha
never yet published in that Rec0,d, as h
was required to do by law.
Mr. Rex therefore moved that tho Com
mittee on Printing be intrusted to deman
from George Berger the fulfllment of hi
contract.
The motion was agreed to, and th
Printing Committee was so instructed.
The Speaker an nounced that the Pos
master had sent back the mails from tn
House, and refused to acknowledge til
frank of the members. The commi,te
investigate the accounts of the Postmasts
was chosen, to consist of Rowland, l.;

Speech of General Lane.

General jim LANE, from Kansas, who
now disgraces the United States Senate by
being member of that body, made
speech before the "Loyal
League" in Washington City, on Satur
day evening, March 2lst from Which we
extract the following choice morscls:
TIN Kansas, where live Copperhead
is not allowed to remain in the State, II
he doesn' leave when he is ordered to, he
is shot down. That's the way and ap-
plausc.' am Informed by the Govern
or of our State, that no further back than
last Saturday, Copperhead, having re-
fused to promptly obey an order to leave
the State. was the same day before night
had closed upon him, found with two bull
let holes through his body. ["Good,"
and applause | have been told that
Union loving men in this community have
been compelled quietly to hear secession
language day by day. ["That's So" l.
But trust that before the time comes
when / will be so weak as not to be able
TO properly resent an insult of that sort to
my country, God will take me home
Laughter and applause.]
As far as | am concerned, I would like
to live long enough to see every white man
now in South Carolina in hell, and the
negro occupying his territory. [Loud
applause. All this may sound to you
very wicked, mot at all !''] but to me
there is no place on earth that, l think
now, ought to be desccrated by traitor.
Applause.
bid you God speed in cleaning out
sympathlzers with treason in the District
Of Columbia. [Applause.] 1t would
not wound my feelings at any day to find
the dead bodies oil rebel sympathzer:
pierced with bullet holes, in every street
i and alley of the city of Washington -
Vociforous applause.] | wonld regret
howe er, the loss of the powder and the
lead. Laughter. A pause Hang
them ! and save the ropes. That's the
best way, Loud applause. Let them
dangle till their sinking bodies rot decom.
pose, and fall to the ground piece by piece
Enthusiastic applause."]
When we take into account the fact tha
these sentiments were uttered by the Hon
(God save the mark! JAMES H. LANE
Senator from Kansas, prominent and
trusted leader of the party in power W.
can form some estimate Of the desperate
lengths to which these fanatics are willing
to go, to retain in their hands the rens OF
government, against the express will o
the people, and to carry out their favor
ite theory OF negro equality. For thcs,
purposes "Unon Leagues' are being
formed all over the land, which are q,tas
military organizations and by which they
hope to browbeat and in.imidate free
American citizens and prevant them from
expressing, through the ballot box, thei
utter condemnation OF the ruinous policy
pursued by the present administrations
But they will find that the majority of The
American people are made of sterneI
stuff, and that, true to the traditions of tn,
past, they will peril their lives rather thar
give up one jot Or little of their just right
or liberties s'-Patri0t D. Union.
