j. D. Wallace, of Penn, and j T. Bard,
of Centreville. For Commissioner, An

are free to say that these gentlemen are
all good citizons-we trust therefore, that
the canvass wilfbe managed in such a
way as to avoid personalities Personally
we wish these gentlemen well-of course,
while. they stand associated with party
whose success we believe would be pro-
ductiYe only of evil to our country, we
cannot have any sympathy with them po-
itically.

The Rebel Account Of Edmund
Marize's Visit 10 Richmond. ~

Judah p. Benjamin, Secretary of
State of the Southern Confederacy, has
written letter to james NJ. Mason, Com
missioner to the Continent, dc. which
means Inherent diplomat--in reference to
the Kirke-Gilmore mission to Richmond.
Mr. Benjamin's account Of the interview
between those gentlemen and jeff. Davis
does not vary materially from that pub
lished by Mr.. Gilmore in the atlantic
Monthly. 1t is a clear exposition that
the Rebel leaders will except the inde-
pendence of the South. This, for the
time being, settles all questions of spec
dy or an honorable peace. The peace
men Of the North must, therefore, fatty
accept the idea of disunion with peace,
until we have reason to suppose that the
rebel leaders have changed their opinions
and are willing on any terms to return to
the Union. According to Benjamin, Da-
Wis distinctly declares that
" MIR. Lincoln ought to have known
when giving them his views that it was
out of the power of the Confederate Gov
erument to act ON the subject of the do
nestle institutions of the several States,
each State having exclusive jurisdiction
on that point, still less to commit the de-
cision of such question to the vote of a
foreign people; that the separation of the
States was an accomplished fact; that he
had no authority to receive proposals for
except by virtue Of his Office
as President of an independent Conieder-
acy, and on this basis alone must propo-
sails be made to hin"
The final and complete separation of
the Union into two distinct confederacies
is the ultimatum of the Richmond Off
cials. 1t is well to bear this in mind in
the coming Presidential canvass.-Pitts,

The Republican Executive Committee
of this county, are requested to meet in
the Arbitration room, in this borough, on
SATURDAY the tenth Of September
next, for the purpose Of attending to all
business that may properly come before
them for action.
We are just entering upon one Of the
most momentous political campaigns that
has ever been witnessed in this or any 9TH
er country-one that involves the very ex-
istence. and future unity of this nation.
It is to be expected, therefore, that all 9TH
er business being laid aside, there will be
a full attendance of the committee at the
time and place indicated.

the rebel States and also that they were
careful to take their entire ticket from the
North Evidently preparing to acknowl-
edge separation to be an established fact
Notwithstanding the fact that our victori-
Gus armies are penetrating the very heart
of rebeldom All this we say is signif-
cant; but there is another matter which
deserves at least a passing notice. We
have all heard reck ess politicians declare
that if the next election went against
them, that then they would take the mat
ter into theirown hands The New York
World too has intimated that such me-
cessity may arise !! /! In this connection
only, can we understand the resolution of
fered by Mr.. Wickliif, of Kentucky, and
passed unanimously by the Convention, to
the effect that the Convention shall re-.
main adjourned, subject to the call of its
Chairman, to meet at any time and place,
to be designated by him between this and
the tourh of March nextl Upon the
whole, the proceedings of this Conyen-
ton are worthy of examination by every
loyal man; as they show most conclusive
" that that party is fast going into undis-
guised rebellion.

This Convention brought together a
motely crew, and might well be said to
have been
"a spectacle Of comical oddities,
Things that had never been noishbogs before.'
The Soymours, the Junts, the
Combs, the Longs, the Yaiandighans,
the Powells etc, a gathering Of old fos-
silsofall shaIo5 and opinions, brought to-
gethor by an unyieldig thurst for public
plunder--a desire to thwart the efforts of
the Government in supprossng rebellion,
and if possible relieve their southern
brethren" from the crushing blow now be-
ing dealt them by the Union army.
We have no; space, at present, to notice
the doings Of this Convention at length
indeed it was quite a tame affair."
Mcclellan and pendleton are the nomi-
nces-the latter is known traitor of the
Valandisham stripe; and the fact that
perfect acquiescence was given by that
wing of the party to McClellan's nomi-
nation, as also the fact that his nomna-
ton was moved to be unanimous by Val
landigham, is enough in itself to consign
Little Mac to oblivion.
The platform is one of the most tame
surrenders to treason possible to conceive
of. Their weak expression of sympathy
for our brave soldiers, discovers want Of
admiration for the cause in which they
are engaged, or the manner in which they.
are maintaining that cause No acknow-
ledgment of the great services rendered
in the present campaign, by the gallant
Grant and Sherman, nor a single word as
to the doings of Farragut All this is
significant, and shows that our neighbor
of the Herald is not alone when he as
serts that "we have not won single vic
tory in the field this season.
Again, ,itisworthy ofnote, that they care
fully avoided receiving delegates from

pGy" Parson Brownlow don t seem to be
so particular, as some of our conservative
friends in the North, as to what instru-
mentalities should be used in crushing
the rebellion. as the following from the
Kaor0iHe Wig, shows;
"Ihe terrible outcry against arIningn ne
groes IN this war has measurably ceased
since the murderous and berbarous con-
duct Of the rebels is understood and since
it is generally known that they began that
species of warfare, The true Union SEN
timent OF the country calls forthe putting
down Of this hell-bound rebellion, at any
cost Of humane life, and humane treasure.
And if we had the power, and could con-
troll the elements, we would arm and uni
form, in Federal habilaments, all the fowls
OF the air. -and the fishes in the sea-eve-
ry wolf panther, catamount, and bear in
the mountains of America-eAery tiger,
elephant and lion in Europe-every rattle
snake and crocadileint the swamps of Flor
ida and South Carolina every negro in
the Southern Coniederacy, and every dew
il in hell, and turn them loose upon the
Confederacy. Nay, we would poison the
very air they breathe, the water they drink,
and the food they eat We would con
vert hell itself into one great torpedo, and
have it exploded under the very center
Of the Coniederacy. Aye, we say put
down the rebellion, and force rebels 70 lay
down their arms, if, in doing so, we have
to exterminate from God green earth ev-
cry living humane being South of Mason

We are glad to see that State Conven-
ton has been called at Nashville for the
first Mondqy IN September and we call
upon every county in East Tennessee to
be represented there til expedient to
hald Presidential election in Tennessee,
and let that Convention make out a fall

) CALL OF THE COMMITTEE
At the request of meeting Of loyal
men representing the several divisions Of
the State Of Tennessee, at the Capitol in

and in accordance with our own views,
we do hereby call convention Of the 10y
al people of Tennessee, to be holden at
Nashville on the first Monday in Septem-
Der next, to take into consideration, lst,
the general state and condition of the
country; I'd, the means of reorganizing
civil government and restoring law and
order in the State of Tennessee; 3D., the
ozpedency of holdinga Presidential cleo
ton in the State in November next; and,
finally, to take such preliminary steps in
reference in said matter as they may deem
necessary and proper; and we do most
earnestly urge upon the loyal, order love-
ing, law abiding people Of every county

Pa In another column will be found
an article from the Knoxville Whig, ac-
companiod by call for State Conven-
vention which was to meet on Monday
last.
In the same paper is detailed accounts
of meetings being held atdifTerent places
throughout the State, in the interests Of
the Union and Emancipation. 81
How strange it is to observe that while
these patriotic movements are going on
for Union and permanentPeaco in some of
the rebel States, that party is being or
ganized in the North whose object is to
re-establish slavery; todivide the country
and thereby give up to the tender mercies
of the rebels that patriotic class of men
in the South whohaye stood by the Union
from the frst-through adversity as well
as prosperity. But they cannot succeed
in their unholy purposes, for Humanity
moves onward" Tennessee will this fall
record her vote in favor of a Union can
didate for President and Vice President;
and there can be little doubt as to whom
that choice viii be. How cheering to the
heartof patriot tosee State once shrou-
ded in treason, thus throw off its dark
mantle and clothe itself in the garmentof
/" Union and Liberty" yet this is but the
beginning of the end that will soon be
realized in the case of all those rebellious
States.

A beautiful example of Christian patriotism
has been given by Catholic priest in Detroit.
The pious and beloved pastor of st. Patricks
Chapel, on Adelaide street, Father James Hen
messy, was drafted in the drawing for the Sixth
Ward. His many friends at once gathered
around him, and preparations were made
to furnish him with substitute Father Hen
messy said, mo, cannot permit this. My
country has called upon me for personal ser
vice, and will have no other man for me.
will take my own place in the army" We
know nothing grander in the history Of the
draft than this patriotic conduct. The deter
mination of the conscientious and patriotic
priest is fixed. Members of his congregation
have in vain offered to 90 to the field for him.
But his fine sense of duty to his country and
to the law, will not permit him to serve his
country by substitution.
Unluckily, the following note from
Father HENNEssY himself, which we take
from the Detroit Free Press, follows only
too closely upon the above glowing re-
cital:
To the Editor of the Detroit Free Press:
You will oblige me inexpressibly by contra.
dieting emphatically the statement of the Tr;.
buse and Advertiser of this evening regarding
my determination to go into the ranks q
the army. HID rrrt...f, $500
Such determination would degrade ma AZ
an ecclesiastic, and at the same time be An nm
worthy approval of the present military ava.
tenn that sacriligiously drags the priest from
the altar and the duties of the Christian cburch.
The flattery with which the proclamation of
my military determination" is Clothed cannot
be noticed. More anon. - -
