Our MILITARY Foundation.

The military population of the United
States and territories. according to the re-
turns Of the eighth census, is 1924, ,065.
New York has white maIepopulation be-
tween the ages of Is and 45. of 796, ,SS1.
and leads all other States; Pennsylvania
follows next in the list, with population
between the ages mentioned of 555, ,172,
while Ohio, which is third in the list. has
a population of 459,5 ,534. The census re-
turns show disparity between the East
crn and Western States in respect to mil
itary population, which clearly explains
why the latter have so much more easily
filled their quotas for the national armies.
Thus, in Maine, the military population is
1876 per cent. of the whole; in Illinois it
is 22.l per cent. When it is remembered
that the available military class, under a
system of volunteering, is the excess after
the necessary demands for productive la
Dor are supplied, it will be seen that the
difference here exhibited is a very import
ant one.
Mr.. Kennedy, the superintendent of
the census, estimates that the increase of
the military population in 1861, after de-
ducting natural deaths, was 81 900. The
increase from immigration he states at 8 :
500, making total increase of 123, 400.
The increase from the latter source is now
much larger than it was two years ago, and
there is probably natural gain of at least
10000 annually. This will quite offset
the waste of population caused by the cas-
ualties of war, not taking at all into the
count the large addition from immigration.
Immigration; it must be remembered, re-
inforces the northern armies alone; the
immigrants, IL they do not themselves go
into the ranks, take the place of our own
citizens on the farm and elsewhere, enab-
ling the latter to enter the service.
The total arms-bearing population in
1860 of the States now held in whole or
in part, by the rebels was as follows: Flor
ida, 1879; Georgia, Ill ,005; Mississip-
pi, 70, ,295; North Carolina, lis, 1863; South
Carolina, 55,046 Texas, 92,145; Virgin
ia, 196,5S7 Alabama, 90,967 Louisia-
ma, IS, 456-makinS total of $50 ,609.-
From this aggregate it is proper to deduct
one-half for Virginia, 90 ,293; three-fourths
for Louisiana, 46,72S; one-half for Mis-
sissippi, 35, ,l49; one-half for North Car
olina, 81 ,6S4 one-quarter for Texas, 46,-
making total of2s3, ,931 and leav-
ing the military population, in 1860, in
the States named 546,67S. Now from
this deductions are to made for the casual
ties ofwar, for depletions of population by
removals from the States named during the
war, &c.
The arms bearing population of these
States to-day cannot be more than $50 900
at the highest, and it will be impossible,
therefore, for the leaders to make any ma
terial additions their present armies from
the specific military class. Pittsb1y Ga

The Freedom Convention.

The convention of the friends of free
dom residing in the Slave States, origin
ally called for the Sth of January, it is
now definitely announced will be held at
Louisville, Ky, on the 22d of February.
the time having been changed in order to
permit a more cordial understanding be-
tween those who concur in the necessity
of adopting freedom policy. The call
for the convention maintains that the only
way to destroy the rebellion is to destroy
slavery; to leave the cause of revolt un-
touched to breed other rebellions and en-
kindle hereafter constant aumosities. rea-
dy, as the present has DONE to appeal for
solution to the arbitrament of civil war,
would be national suicide. The call con-
tinues:
1.-The effects of such course upon the
several States would be even more disas-
trous, antagonizing them against each 9TH
er, necessarily, from the presence of that
institution, around which would cling so
many memories of past conflict, and lay
ing waste their fields, depopulating their
villages, making all tenures of life and
property utterly insecure in the subsequent
strife for supremacy that would result be-
tween different classes of the community
Hence it is that an insistance upon free
dom policies, both national and state, pre-
sents itself as the supremest duty of the
hour-a duty not to be subordinated to any
theory Of the past or any hesitancy of the
present. Indeed, the making of such an
issue in the reconquered territory and in
those slave states which have adhered to
the Union is one of self preservation to
them, as has been amply demonstrated by
the atrocities perpetrated, under the name
of guerrilla warfare, throughout Tennes-
see, Arkansas, Missouri, Maryland and
Kentucky, and demands prompitude of
action, coincident with the distress entail
ed by the mere existence of a slave system
in our midst. Changes which, in other
days and for other reasons might we'll have
assumed a gradual character, now find in
the perils of the times no excuse for delay,
but every Indictment to an immediate cor
rective."

parations for the Convention

aeap In to-day's paper will be found a
communication from Capt. Lyon, in reply
to an assault made upon himself and an
other gentlemen of this place, in the Her-
oH of last week. We did not say any
thing in reference to this matter in our
last paper, simply because ,ee kneg moth
ing about it. Up to this time these young
gentlemen have maintained a creditable
reputation, and have occupied an envable
position in society. 1t is neither charit-
able or just, therefore, thus to attempt to
injure the fair fame of our fellow citizens
on a vague rumor, having no foundation
in fact. When facts are presented suff-
cient to justify it, we will always be ready
and willing to expose fraud of every kind,
and especially upon the Government,
struggling, as is ours, to maintain its in
tegrity; but we don't believe it to be the
duty of journalist to give notariety to
every vague rumor that is sent afoat in
our midst, and especially at this particu-
lar time when the air is full of,rumors
but as the Herald promises to keep the
community posted on this subject, we will
wait patiently its developments

pose Of seeding from their allegiance to
the Southern Confederrcy. The writer
says that Governor Vance and nearly ev-

to return to the Union. He also says that
an army of twenty-five thousand men I'M

take possession of the capitol, and free the.

The Draft constitutional.

1t will be remembered that the Supreme
Court OF Pennsylvania, after the defeat of
two OF its members by the people, declar-
ed the conscription act Unconstitutional.
1t was done in defiance of the uniform
teachings of the trainers of the constitu-
ion, and in the face of the fact, that the
same court would reverse itself in few
weeks. But Judge Woodward must infict
his petty, impotent vengeance, and he
hurled an opinion against the preservation
OF the government that was characterize
ed by all the reckleSsness and bitterness of
a stump speech from a disappointed poll
tician.
Recently Judge Agnew became judge
in place of Lowey, and motion was
made to dissolve the preliminary iniunc-
tion granted against the enforcement of
the conscription act. 1t was ably argued
and the injunction was dismissed, and the
draft of the militia by Congress declared
constitutional. Judges Woodward and
Thompson of course dssented but the
irrevocable decision of the court declares
the conscrlption in all respects lawful
Judge Agnew delivered an elaborate opin-
ion, concluding as follows:
The constitutional authority to use
the national forces creates corresponding
duty to provide number adequate to the
necessity The duty is vital and essentiah,
falling back on the fundamental right of
self-preservation, and the power expressed
to declare war, raise armies, maintain ma
vies, and provide for the common defence.
Power and duty now go hand in hand with
the extremity until every available man in
the nation is called into service, if the
emergency require it, and of this there
can be no judge but Congress.
They may proceed therefore to the
exhaustion Of the whole element from
which the State draws its militia. for the
people under the two powers are the same
while t,c supremacy Of the national pow
er, provided in section 2 OF article 6. ne
cessarily draws to Itself he whole number
if required by the exigency, to the exclu-
sion Of the State power
And in reason why sh uld n major
power be restricted by minor The
power to raise armies comprchenis for its
purposes the whole scope Of iho purposes
Of armies, while the authority to call out
the militia is confined TO the enumerated
three. .'-franhin Reboaio,y.

BD~ The Washington Star says :.
sit is no longer to be doubted that tn
army, or rather armies, with which
the United States will ncxtspring re-
sumo active operations will be the lar
gest and best the world will have seen
in modern times, while those with
which they will have to centend will
be vastly less numerous and effective
than the armies with which the rebel
conspirators have operated up to this
time. These importantfacts are now
so patent that all well-informed per-.
sons here realize them in their full
force.

LincOln's Successor.

The State of New Hampshire has start
ed the ball on this subject Her loyal
people spoke out a few weeks since thro
their delegates in State Convention, as
seWbled Since then Pennsylvania has
spoken by her Legislature-all the Union
members of both Senate and House, Tex
cept Maj. White, who is a prisoner in the
rebel capitol having signed letter ex-
pressive of their preference. Maryland
and Kentucky, have also, through their
Legislatures, intmated their convictions.
And thus far, ii is satisfactory to know that
there is entire harmony of purpose--en-
tire concord Of sentiment and that SEN
timent is in favor of the reelection of our
present patriotic President, This is no
time for the loyal millions to differ about
who we shall support in the next canvass.
In great cfsis like the present, the
true policy is to adhere to tried men. 1t
was this conviction that caused the people
of this State to renominate and elect Gov
Curtin. 1t was for this reason that Gov.
Andrews, of Massachusetts, was elected the
third time. And it is for this reason too.
that the Nation is speaking out in favor
of the reelection of Mr.. Lincoln. Let
some other statesman be chosen and elect
ed, and however competentan patriotic he
may be, he will have difficulties to encoun-
ter, that Lincoln can avoid. The CON
struction of a cabinet-the adoption of a
policy-the appointment of Ministers to
foreign Courts, many of whom, would be-
untried in the art of Diplomacy; these,
and many other embarrassmcnts, would
surround a new man, all of which would
be avoided by retaining our present chief
Magistrate.
Nor can we see any call for National
Convention to fix a platform. Platforms
don't amount to much at best. Mr. Lin
coin has made his own platform. Liber-
ty and Union, a unity, not only of Terri
tory, but unity of principles of action,
and of institutions, and these institutions
free. What more do we want for a plat
form?
As it seems unnecessary then, to hold
National Convention, either for the pur-
pose of choosing Presidential candidate,
or framing platform, can we not also
agree on Vice President, by common
consent? Was there likely to be any
danger in carrying this State, we would at
once say, put Gov. Curtin on the ticket
leader who never knew defeat but as
this consideration does not seriously arise,
(for Pennsylvania is as safe now as she was
in 1867 and as Curtin is emphatically
e the right man in the right place." why
not take Hamhn at once? Why should
we retain one faithful public servant, and
turn our backs upon another? For our
part, we would be willing to take Lincoln
and Hamlin, for our ticket, and Linooln's
American citizen. [volume] (Butler, Butler County, Pa.) 1863-1872, 1864-01-27
RzfF~ We copy the following from an e

Rs5g" We copy the following from an ex-
change:
Hon. Eli liSlifer, Secretary of the Com
monwealth. and Hon. Wm. NJ. Meredith.
Attorney General, rendered their resigna-
tions to Governor Curtin last week, to re-
lieve him of all embarrassment in the Sc
lection of a cabinet for his new admins
tration. Governor Curtin promptly de-
clined accepting them, and they will con-
tinue in their respective positions. We
have heretofore spoken of their eminent
fitness, alike in point of character and abil-
ity, for their responsible duties; and the
Loyal people of the State will be glad to
know that they are to remain.
1t is no disparagemcnt to Gov. Curtin,
to say, that for the high measure of sue
cess attained by his administration, he is
much indebted to the enlarged experience,
the untring efforts and unfaltering fidelity
of Eli Slifer, and VIM. NJ. Meredith. -
The friends of Curtin and his patriotic
administration, throughout the State, will
be pleased to learn that the distinguished
gentlemen who composed his cabinet dur,
ing his first term, are to remain his adj
vsors during his present term. This is a
guarantee that his present administration
like the past, will be a success.
