E. C. KITCHEN,
Asst Surgeon 21st Pennsylvania Cav.
J. Clancy Jones is known to the whole
country as a recognized aud prominent
leader of Pennsylvanis Democracy"
He stands high in the confidence of ex-
President Buchanan and Judge Woodbury.
of his own State, and is recognized as a
"shining light" of the party by such men
as the Seymours of New York and Conneo-
ticut Fernando Wood, Vallandighsm,
Voorhees,, Frank Pierce, and the other
democratic standard bearers through
out the Union. But Mr. Jones was not the
only Pennsylvania Democrat" of stand
ing and influence that committed himself
to the policy Of armed rebellion, during the
late canvass. Alexander Harris, ESQ of
Lancaster, WAS one Of the most active and
effective friends of Judge Woodward dur
ing the campaign. He stumpe1 the state
thoroughly and was accorded the honor ~
Of walking through the streets of Lancas-
ter, arm in arm with Judge Woodward
himself, when the latter gentleman visit
ed that place. Mr.. Harris is on record as
the utterer of Language like the following,
which the Express says can be substan-
tisted by responsible parties under oath
men who took notes of his remarks at the
time they were made:
1.-THE Administration and the Republi-
can party little know the terrible abyss
which is ready 10 open at their feet. If
the election is not carried by the Demo-
Gratis, it is determined, if Abraham Lin
coin does not dc as lOe wish him to do, that,
at signal resolved upon, 100000 men
shall spring 10 arms, and crush this tyran-
nical Government We could crush it in
three days. l, myself would risk the hal
deep in blood to defend Southern rights.
Soon these immense masses Of / emo
Gratis would hurl Abe Lincoln from his
seat, and this Administration and it's sup
porters would be crushed and sunk so low
that they would never be heard from after
wards. A provisional government would
be established-s revolution inaugursted
and the rights Of the South guaranteed.
The South would then unite with the gov
eanment established at the North, and then
there would be peace and Union restor-
ed.
al care not to be called "a traitor 1
glory in it, What sin is there in treason?
There is no sin in treason to this wicked
minority Government The President is
the bloodiest villain, the most deeply-dyed
tyrant that the world ever saw. 1 would
hang him as high as Haman, and all his
aiders and sbettors.
"The working classes of Pennsylvania,
the fighting men, are ready to spring to
arms to crush this Administration, and
zoe, the leaders, have been obliged to keep
them down to prevent them from rising in
force but after tks election we will come
out and no longer resist their wishes, but
assist ths dsHoerady in asserting their rights
By Joros Of arms. We care not for provost
marshsls. Let them take careI Those
that have been wounded in thNfeld may be
again wounded at home, and g that has
lost an arm may lose another, or his life"
Such is Mr.. Harris notion Of peace"
He has supreme contempt for Union SOL
diers and an equally supreme veneration
for the rebels, If we may judge from the
following declarations:
"There is more honor and loyalty among
the rebel soldiers than can be found in the
Federal army, and the time Is near when
it will be disgrace 10 be United States
soldier-when sman will blush to say that.
he once belonged to the Union army.
Jefferson Davis sWages a righteous war.
He is loyal to the United States flag. 1
would consider myself highly honorsd to be
invited into his psrlor. He represents the
real Union. The name of Davis will de-
scend to posterity coupled with that of
Washington"
