The sectional controversies whiich have prevailed, though thej served as an apology for it, did not even contribute. The rebellion was the fruit of conspiracy.; the conspiracy was the production ot mad and mean and insatiable ambition. It originated in a desire for rule, and was quiokened by the determination to cover evidences of robbery and plunder. Accession clique who claim to speak for it in this State iyD more represent It than Brigham YouDg and his saints represent the Christian Church. They hare dragged it into a hopeless minority ; its organization is demoralized by lobby agents; its masses, disgusted ttyjguob conduct, scattered and disbanded ; its principles, as promulgated by those who abuse its name, and have worked its temporary overthrow, are not and never have been Democratic principles. They put fqrth in the name of Democracy anything and everything to suit emergencies, from tho " Buffalo Platform" to rank secession and disunion ; sometimes open, sometimes covert; sometimes sugared over wilh liberal propositions of peace to armed traitors; sometimes baldly denouncing the Executive for his arrest and imprisonment of lurking spies, and refnsal to release them; soifietimes because he has laid the strong hand of military power upon a treasonable Press; sometimes insinuating, in aid of the rebellion, what they had not the manhood to titter, and at all times censuring and embarrassing the President in the discharge of his duty. They are for the Union, and sympathize with those in arms against it; they are for the war, and discourage enlistment, and howl over taxation; they are for the Government, and embarrass those charged with its administration ; they are against rebellion, and join it in assaults upon Union men. These political ornaments, so full of the name of Democracy, and so empty in its principles, while loud in denunciation of all who wquld not act under their party lead, instead of with the people as such, changed their "great principles," radically, three time? in as many weeks, and are not through yet. First, tho " State Committee," which has been the evil genius of the Democratic Party, declined tho proposition of the Republicans for united action during the war, because "great principles" required them to aocompany all the demonstrations to put down the rebellion with the "most liberal propositions of peace." In ten days thereafter tl|0 same patriots assembled in State Convention and voted down this very proposition, and the one who offered it, not knowing of the intermediate change of "groat principles," wont away like the servant who was sent to collect rent for the vineyard—"shamefully handled." In place of this, they passed the ninth resolution, with as many hoads and horns as the beast of the Apocalypse, calculated to censure and embarrass the Executive for having done his duty, in the arrest of spies , in refusing, in the midst of treason and rebellion and murder, to release conspirators and enemies and traitors, on a luibcru corpus, that they might ply their hellish mischief again ; and for another week tlie ninth resolution stood as the "great principles" upon which this bastard organization required all Democrats to stand, on pain of excommunication. But a Tremaine and a Biunce, two of their candidates, having both patriotism and manlU ness, eould neither stand nor run upon snob "groat principles," and repudiated them, and declined. ' and destruction of these elements a more enlarged equality of the masses will arise, —the popular triumph about to be achieved will be permanent in its rectifying injfluences—those who are politicians by j trade will not be in demand; the Govern«ment will again be a Government of the people, and not a Government of committees, caucuses, and packed conventions — The Union movement was demanded by the exigencies of the occasion. It was necessary to save us from drifting to swift and terrible destruction. .It should be supported by all loyal men for itself and not for its candidate merely. It was an act of practical eufuxupation, not pf blacks, but of whites; not from Southern, but from Northern, slavdtjr; not fVom shackles upon the limbs, bat from fetters upon the immortal mind. tous politician,—the mere party hack, who supposes he enn trade with rebellion as with a clique of corrupt associates, or who has no aims or impulses above party management, no range of vision beyond a cations, no love of country, no pride in the glowing memories of the Revolution, no true contemplation of the present, no just hope for the future. Happily for our devoted country, the number of this class id small, and their influenco less, and both rapidly diminishing. , BUSIITESS CAHDS ID HOUSE, PITT8TOW. PA.— GEO. W.

Its prime movers were few, but it is apparent that it was encouraged by many to whom it bad not fully committed its secrets. It made the election of Mr. Lincoln the occasion for inaugurating the rebellion, Without any well grounded pretence that It was the Cause. Its leaden, who will find no parallel in shameless and infamous atrocity, not even in Satan; aimed at power, and pomp, and oonsequencc; its active followers and yoluntary participants to conceal bankruptcy in morals, politics, or business; its sympathizers in tho loyal States were made up of those, who, between mental blindness and obstinate prejudice, were unable to sco or comprehend anything beyond a mere partisan, political scramble; of cross-road eaucus wire-pullers, who feared to lose their high dignities and thoir rations, upon which they got higher still, if they should not keep the question within the traces of party; of lobby politicians, who, having long gorged themselves upon the offal of unclean legislation, were willing to see the Union imperiled, as a thief or burglar welcomes a conflagration in a city, that he may dive more deep in plunder; of seedy and faded office-seekers, who, like Mieawber, had long waited for something to turn iij), and believed the rebellion would turn it; of a few croaking, diseased, wornout and dying Presses, in the market without bidders, wanting principles and wanting bread, wanting notice, wanting conso quence, wanting character, wanting everything but baseness, with nothing to lose, but everything to gain. These combined elements, especially in this State, In the hands of a repudiated Regency, have stood as the advocates, apologists and defenders of rebellion, and have lent it aid, countenance, comfort and encouragement, and have, directly or indirectly, stimulated its efforts in treason, devastation and murder. The honest men who, failing to comprehend the magnitude of the great issues at first, and were misled into countenancing the secession movement, long since retraced their error, and none arc now left except those who desire to see the Unidn menaced, and politicians who prefer party, and place, and polities, to country, Constitution and Union.

NEW »YORE, March T, 1M1. •C **lyl WHAT ENCOURAGES AND TROTRACTS THE The frothy conocit of the desperate leaders, who urged on the commencement of this rebellion, for base and selfish purposes, has evidently much diminished in the exJ perienee Of its progress;—the unfortunate rank and file, who, in an evil moment, lent It their countenance, some from choice; some bccause defrauded and some from compulsion, have already learned that it is not the "entertainment to which they were invited," and wish it in perdition ; the business interests which it has destroyed curse it as a destructive monster; the planting and agricultural regions it has overrun and blasted, would, if they dared, invoke upon its authors the thunderbolts of heaven *, and mourning and lamentations along the Border 8tates, from those bereaved of fViends and relations, and protectors—those driven frofl# the firesides of happy homes, penniless, and cold, and hungry,,and those who deplore the social destruction and demoralization, ring out as from Bamain one long, piercing cry, and yet the rebellion goes on, and why ? In the hope of oxternal aid, which will enable it finally to triumph. It looks forward with hope to England, that her hatred of democracy may induce her recognition of the independence of the rebellious States. But it looks for more—for aid and assistance from the sympathizers in the loyal States, and especially this*# Had the voice of the people of the loyal States, and especially of this great State, been unanimous and unreserved, as it should have been, in condemnation of the rebellion, thore is every reason to believe that it would, cro this, havo laid down its arms. But it read a justification or apology for its treason in a portion of the Press of the loyal  claiming to speak the sentiments of a great and once powerful party, aid and comfort and encouragement,—some outspoken and bold in justifying the rebellion,—others backing and filling, skulking and covert and insinuating, under pretence of peaoe, and a fear of taxation, but more mean and mischievous than open treason; and all this class uniting in denouncing and upbraiding the Executive, and charging him with violations of the Constitution, and with deserving impeachment in his dealings with rebellion! It read, too, from these same Presses, the denunciations of all Union Democrats and conservative men, who declared openly and unconditionally that the rebellion must be put down at any cost and all hazards, as having joined the "Black Republicans," and, therefore, no longer worthy of their country's confidence. It read fort her, in this State, tho doings of tho State Committee, and the proceedings of local conventions, declaring that in obedience to a "great principle," tho war to prostrate rebellion must bo accompanied by the "most liberal propositions of peace/* it read, again, tho "ninth resolution" of a State Contention, claiming to be Democratic, arraigning tho President for exerting tho military power of the Government in arresting and imprisoning spies and traitors j for refusing to release them in obedience to the requirements of the civil law, so that they might renew their work of treason ; for having prohibited tho circulation of treasonable journals, when rebellious cannon menaced the Capitol at Washington. Rebellion saw these evideh* ces of sympathy, and naturally, but erroneously, estimating these Presses, Commit* tees, Conventions and demonstrations, as evidences of public opinion generally, took new courage in its work of destruction, rallied now forces, and resolved to persevere until these aids, so potential in theory, should furnish aid in a more substantial form.

Let those who cry "jPeaoe! pcace!" trace the history of this rebellion from its origin to its development. The conspiracy which produced it nad evidently boen nursed by some of ita actors for more than a quarter of a century, but must have swelled its numbers, and gained its full and formidable proportion*, within a year of its development. It sought tho occasion of Mr. Lincoln's election and inauguration as the best suited to its treasonable purposes; a time and occasion upon which it evidently supposed it could better arouse Southern feeling, atimulato Southern prejudice, and awake sectional hostility. But while it had this advantage, it, unfortunately for its sincerity or success with tho loyal Southern mind, chose a time when the South and its sympathizers had a majority in both branches of Congress and in the Supreme Court of the United States, and a time, too, when the law eonccralng fugitives Was more thoroughly executed than it had been for years, and when Congress was organizing Territorial Governments without restriction for which Boutbcrn rights advocate* had so lon£ contended; and, moreover, when a majority in Congress, for the sake of preserving peace, reconciling sectional differences, and quieting sectional irritation, stood ready to give any further reasonable guarantee calculated to secure to the Southern States all and any rights to which they wero entitled, and of which they could reasonably show they had been, or reasonably fear that they were about to be, deprived. There had been no time within twenty years whon they had so little-just cause of complaint as in 1861. The masses of the Southern people are honest, sincere and Union-loving. But it is clcar that the leaders who shaped the policy of this rebellion, were in pursuit of self-advaneetnent and the Union's u-rongs, and not of Southern rights. The robberies they had practiced in the Government, long before the election of Mr. Lincoln was decided, show what was in contemplation; the disposition made of the army and navy, and the arms and munitions, proves the same thing. Tho haste with which some of the States sought to rush out of the Union, and drag others after them; tho haste they mafie to Violate their country's flag; their cold-blooded assassination of soldiers on their way to the defence of tho nation's capital; tho rude, and robber, and bandit violence with which they seized ships, forts and other pnblie property, and the public revenues within their reach; the brazen complacency with which public officials, sworn to support the Constitution, brought perjury upon their guilty souls in endeavoring to subvert it; the infidelity of naval and military commanders, in forswearing themselves, and betraying their trusts to enemies; all go to show that had resolved to rule or ruin, and were not in pursuit of "liberal propositions of peace." Upon all this followed the organization of their bogus Confederacy; tneir attack upon the Star oj the West; their assault upon the starving peace garrison of Sumter; their organization of a system of piracy in stolen vessels; their outrages upon and murder of defenceless Union-loving citizens, and the destruction of their property; their burning of peaceful dwellings and towns, and driving from their homes, in destitution, innocent women and children; their weakening of railroad bridges, that passengers might be destroyed by hundreds or maimed for life; their employment of savages to help on rebellion ; their raising numerous and powerful armies in furtherance of their nefarious designs; and, in short, their whole action, proves that, for butchery and atrocity in modem times, those who have eonductod this rebellion will bear the palm, for when Speech of Hon.

The time for discussion —free, earnest and bold discussion—has not ceased, as has bfcen often suggested; nor will it ccase, until every honest citixcn in the loyal States shall be convinced of and aroused to his duty—until ignorance shall be informed—until partisan efforts shall all be merged in union for the sake of the Union—until traitors shall be shut out from society to indulge in self-communion—until a treasonable Press shall bo silenced, and until the Stars and Stripes shall float again everywhere throughout th,e land on the ruins of a dark and damning rebellion. If, during {he Autumn of 18G0, an intelligent stranger in the New World could have entered the harbor of New York, and havo seon her "bays and broad-armed ports, where laughing at the storm rich navies ride," oould have looked upon the magnificent ships arriving from every sea, and others outward bound to every clime under heaven, could havo pontcmplatcd the emporium of the New World, soon to be the emporium of both Old and New, with its vast contributions of commerce, its untold wealth, its measureless enterprise, its majestic grandeur, its mechanic arts, its mercantile renown, its financial powers, collecting and disbursing the New World's revenue; could have witnessed its refinement and social culture, its institutions of religion, charity and learning ; could have cast his eye over the Kmpirfi State, seen its other strong and populous and thrifty cities and towns, springing up from the harbors upon the seaboard, along its noble rivers and inland seas; could have considered its system of improvements, uniting the waters of the West with the Atlantic, its railroads checkering far and near; could have calculated its agricultural elements and strength, beheld its "cattle upon a thousand hills," and its four millions of free, and healthy, and happy people,, he would have involuntarily exclaimed, "Where can you find so sublime a view, so interesting an anticipation And when his enraptured vision had contemplated this, if he had yet a desire to look further into the "wide abyss of possibility," let him have passed beyond the boundaries of the greatest free State that ever had existence to the broad field of oyr National Union; stretch out upon our broad lakes, range over the boundless prairies of the West—the world's eolden gTanary—the pantry of hungry Europe—and calculate tneir productions when he had learned to number the sands of the sea; listen to the hum of New England's machinery—tell us of the mineral elements the Keystone bears in her bosom ; thread the Potomac, the Ohio, the Mississippi, the Missouri and their tributaries, view the Gulf of Mexico, and estimate the productive pow$r of the planting States; and then, as the human eye is never satisfied, leap, could, the Rocky Mountains, and stnftd upon the shore of the world's greatest ocean, and there, again, find the same enterprising people—the same irrepressible energy, the same refinement and culture, the same institutions; and States, replete in all the elements which give strength to a people; cities which have sprung up as if by magic; an industry which is tnrice rewarded, the earth teeming with her choiccsi fruits, and sparkling with golden treasures;'which would almost sate the greed of avarice itself; let him number upon this vast area, embracing almost every variety of soil, climate and production, thirty-four free and independent States, drawn together by a common impulse, In a holy and happy Union, with boundless and populous territories engaged in erecting others, and thirty-five millions of people enjoying all, and blessed as no people were ever blessed before—basking in a world's sunlight, such as never slept upon God's children below—and when he has looked upon, this with wonder and admiration, ana his heart has thanked the Giver of all good that he has so cared for, and sheltered and protected poor erring man, he would involuntarily exclaim, "What more oould mortal deeirq ?" And could that same stranger come again now, finding this same free, thrice-blessed and happy people, turned from the pursuits and arts of peaoo to the horrors of an unnatural, civil and intestine war*—these States dissevered and belligerent—he would be shocked that in one short year such beauty had been tnnied to desolation, and he would ex- I claim, "An enemy hath dene this 1" T\R. ft R.

"Who would be free,themselves muit strike the blow.*" Mulford & Sprague, The united and harmonious movement of a great people, in such it fearful crisis, embracing members of all parties, but acknowledging the supremaoy of none, presents ono of tho grandest moral spectacles of modern times. Without preconoert, it sprung from the masses, in spite of conflicting and even hostile organisations, fully armed for the conflict with rebellion abroad and treachery at home, like Minerva, the goddess of war and wisdom, from the brain of Jupiter. That it should so suddenly have risen to complete perfection was not to have been cxpectcd ; but, with no platform save the Constitution, no rallying cry but the Union; no banner but the Stars and Stripes; no purpose but the overthrow of rebellion, it has already carried terror to traitors abroad, and reduced the swaggering gasconade of traitors at hoipe to secret, tremulous whispers. Before it faction trembles, and tears its hair and gnashes its teeth in silence. Craven politicians find it too strong for their party harness, and fall back abashed ; and even Billingsgate, tho last desperate resort of detected villainy, pays it, and those who have been active in its advancement, tho generous tribute of opening upojj it and them her floodgates afresh ! But the Union rivulets are gathering in a single stream, whose broad and deep and quiet yot resistless current will bear away all opposing obstaolcs, and sweep onward to gladden and bless the extended domains of freedom and humanity • to give strength to tho weak and hope to the despairing, and a promise of triumph to the faithful. Oh, ho* many patriotio hearts leaped for joy when they saw a unitod people set party in abeyance and engage in one united effort for the preservation of our cherished land.

These demonstrations through Presses, Committees, and Conventions have been, and still are .active and infamous element# in promoting and perpetuating tlio rebel* lion. The authors havo thus helped to slay a Lyon, an Ellsworth and a Baker, and are to-day largely responsible for the per* sistent continuance of the rebellion, nnd for an increase of the taxation neoessary to put it down—responsible for the warm heart's blood which has flowed from the gashed bosom of the brave soldiery—-for. hundreds of preoious lives which havo been sacrificcd upon our country's altar— for bitter, unavailing tears, whioh have been shod by bereaved ones—for hopeless sighs, which have beon waited liko ibccnse to Heaven. Let them, then, wipe out this stain from their guilty souls ; let them "out (his dfiinmcd spot;" let them look upon the rude graves where repose the uncoffined remains of our brave soldiers, who fell fighting for the Union, and receive instruction. Let them muse over the once happy homes their example has helped to desolate; let them turn aside tho father's curse; sootho the mother's anguish, dry tho widow's tears, and silcnco tho orphan's wail; and then, if they tali look their fellow men in the face, let them go on enoouraging rebellion by deriding those who seek to rescue "the land our fttliera loved" from the grasp of traitors, and stimulate it to renewed activity and violence by further "liberal propositions of peace."

Its organisation Is,for the present,broken down, and its members are in the tented field, defending the Capital of the Union ; on the ocean, rescuing our flag from seoession piracy; in the workshops, plying thoir busy trades; op their farms, engaged in the pursuits of agriculture; along the busy railroads, freighting the productions of the West to tne seaboard j and the miserable Nov. 8,1860, Now Located Cor. of Main & William Streets.
