Bv order of the Dem. Co. Com. G. H. SPANG, May 10th, '6l. Chaitman. Let us Stand by Our Colors I Ever since the formation of the Government a party has existed whose mission has been tc guard with jealous care the liberties of the peo ple of the Union. Under (he leadership of Jef ferson, it succeeded in defeating the efforts o) its opponents, the Federalists, to establish a con solidated, concentrated Government, which was to have shorn the States of their individual sov ereignty, and to have eventually fused separate and independent Commonwealths into one com mon empire, with a general government mak ing laws for and executing them upon the peo ple, with regard to their local as well as their general interests.* Under the administration ot Madison, it secured to American Commerce the freedom ot the seas, and vindicated the liberties of American seamen, and this against the protest and active opposition of its Federal ene mies. Under Jackson, it overthrew that oJd Federal dragon, the United Slates Bank, and again preserved the nation from the threatening danger. Under Polk it acquired for the Union the golden hills of California, and under Pierce and Buchanan it contended valiantly and till the last hour for the equality of the States and the preservation of the Union. All this while, in all these contests for the liberty and welfare of the people, this party, ffie grand old Democrat ic organization, was bitterly opposed by anoth er party banded together, primarily, for the purpose of obtaining Government patronage, and secondarily for the overthrow of the Dem ocratic policy and the establishment of a con centrated and powerful political dynasty. Un der various names, too numerous to mention, this opposition party came forward to do ba'tle with the Democracy. Nearly always unsuc cessful, it at last hit upon the diabolic expedien of dividing the people into sectional parties To this end the question of slavery was brough into the foreground ot the political arena, thi anti-slavery Republican party organized all ove the North, and "Freemont and Freedom," pro claimed as its watchword. Thus the first sec tional anti-Union party was established, and it appeal to the passions and prejudices f p, o pie ot the North, partially resisted in 185G, sue ceeded in 1860, to elevate a man to the Brest rienlial chair, whose avowed and cherished be lief was that ' The Union could not continu to exist half free and half slave,'' and who ha. declared that he " hated slavery almost as muc: as any abolitionist." The North being tho aectionalized, the South, on the principle tha one extreme begets another, soon united in at attitude of antagonistic sectionalism. The rc suit, as the National Demociacy had alwavi predicted, was revolution, and, now, our belov ed country is on the very verge of dissolutioi and anarchy. In this emergency the represt n tatives ot the Democracy, the voters of the pat ty of Jeffeison, Jackson and Polk, are asked ti disband their organization, and to join band with the men who established the first seciiona party in the country, and by obtaining a cros: with those excellent haters of one half of th< Union, to improve trie Union blood of the Na tional Democracy ! in this critical period, thi good old Democrats of Pennsylvania, are asket to fuse with the men whose persistence in thi madness of sectionalism, despite the warning and the adjurations of good and true men. ha brought upon the country the ruin, desolatior and horrors ot civil war! Democrats! Wit you give up your organizatiou, now, when youi opponents stand aghast at the very work of theii own hands * Will you join them, now, mere ly because they desire you to shoulder a portioc of their own iniquity 1 We know the response of your hearts. You will stand to your colors You will ntafch to victory under the banners of Democracy, the Stars and Stripes, the time honored symbol of equal rights and the greatest good to the greatest number ! " Torice is he armed who bath bia quarrel just, And he but naked, though locked up in steel, Whose conscience with injustice is corrupted." Another Despotic Outrage. By order of the Administration at Washing ton all the telegraphic despatches placed on file tor the past three years, at the telegraph of fices in New York city, have been seized, and are now undergoing the inspection of the myr midons of Abraham Lincoln. Thu3 the sacred privacy of the family is invaded, and secrets unconnected with public affairs, bfe interwoven with the dearest interests of domestic life, laid bare to the gaze of prying officials. Louis Na poleon would n.jt dare to do the like, for fear nl , a Parisian emeute tumbling him from his throne. : The Czar of Russia would not venture upon a deed so far out-stripping his own ab-oluie pow j er, ie-t his subjects might send ' im, an exile, to Siberia. But Abraham, the First, the demi j gon of a deluded and willingly enslaved people, j can seize private property, invade the sanctity |ol the secrets of home,and grasp the very heart . :rings of his pliant without a murmur of protest against his tyranny and ururpation. The Albany villas 4" commenting upon the announcement of this despotic outrage i spraks as follows: " What is this which (he Pn s'dent has done? Simply this; bv his own fiat, and not otily with out rdor of law , but against ail law, he has seized upon all the original dispatches which i private individuals have during the last year, i deposited in the telegraph offices of the princi pal cities tor transmission to their correspond ents. These dispatches are confidential, and it i- a criminal off-nCe for a telegraph operator to divulge them. But the President at one fell swoop takes possession of th* m all, violates their confidential character, and exposes to the eves of his agents all the private correspondence of tile country, whether of a business, political, or social character The next step may be, to seize ail the letters in the po.-t olfices and open and reo i them.— This would be quite as justifiable as the seizure of telegraphic dispatches. The public mind of England was startled a few years ago bv the oiscovery that the pnst office had been violated in a few instances by the government, and sus pected letters had been opened to obtain infor mation. A storm of indignation was poured upon th" head of the Minister who sanctioned this violation of private correspondence. If the President has done w hat the Tribune above al leges. we do not hesitate to donnunce the act as a high handed outrage, unexampled under a free government, and only congenial to a des potism.

THE MURDERER PUT TO DEATH ! WASHINGTON, May 24. Within a few hours past there have been important military move i ments. It was suspected yesterday that orders hod been given for an advance of troops into Virginia, but these being necessarily ola secret 1 character, the exact truth con! I not at that time ue reliably ascertained. The New York 2d, 12'h, ?:h, and 21st regi ! ments. New Jersey and Michigan brigades,' and Col. Eilswoi til's Zouaves were, so far as is at ! present ascertained, constituted the forces to ad ! Vance upon Virginia. j The Washington City National Rifles, Capt. Smeud, at about fen o'clock last night passed o ! vet Long Bridge, which is ah ut a .' de in length, and connects Washington with the Virginia shore, and remain-d at the latter ter minus until two o'clock this morning, acting as an advance guard. These were followed by o ther Pist* ic.t volunt-er ' c iTnpani s, acting in a similar capacity. Subsequently the New York 2d ;uid*l2 h retina'iits, and the Michigan and i New Jersey brigades crossed the bri 'g>r The Virginia pickets having been driven in j by the advanc guard, one ot the regiments took ! the read leading to Fairfax Court House, about 1 twenty m'les tom Washington, while another i one of the New Ji-sey regiments stopped at the Forks,* a n.ile from Long Bi i Ige, p., wait for orders. Fro n (>,OOO i > 10,000 troops were sent over | into Virginia at an early h >ur U; morning.— ; Firing w u heard, occasioned hy the forcing of Virginia pickets. STILL LATER. T:e New York Zouaves, 14ih and o9th New York and the New Jeisey regiment buhl Alex andria, while Arlington Heights are occupied by several other regiments. The entrance into Alexandria was attended : by an event which has cast the deepest gloom over the c.'tn.iiui'Ay. Col. EMswoitli, who had iiuul. d doe. o ttie Secession flag from the Mar ; snail HOUSP, was soon alter shot by a concealed toe. His dead body has been brought over to the Navy Yard. The accounts from Alexandria are somewhat confus I, hut there is no doubt of the fact that a man named Jacksun, who shot Col. Ellsworth was instantly pu> to death ; some say by both bullets and the bayonet. Wh n the Federal troops reached Alexan dria the V irginia troops fired at them and tied. Visitors to that city say that the scenes were in tensely exciting. It seems to be true that a bodv of Federal troops lias advanced o Faitfax Court House to take possession of the junction of the Orange and Alexandria, and the Manassas Gap rail roads, with the view o! intercepting the ad vance of the Virginia troops towards Alexan dria from Richmond and other points. IJI irnnfftz acrJvpfi comprising so in* from New York and the two Ohio regimen's. A third Connecticut regiment came in this morning. Archbishop Hughes for Peace. The opinions of Arcbishop Hughes upon the civil war, which have been looked lor with much interest by a large class of our fellow-cit izens, are gii.n tu the public in Ihe Metropoli tan Record. We extract a portion of the re marks of this eminent divine, who, we rejoice to percieve, rai_.es his influential voice in favor ol peace. Aove aii the wars, a civil war is (he most de plorable and the most destructive in its conse quences, both to the victor and vanquished.— Its progress is marked by ruin ami desolation. It gives a loose rein to the worst passions of hu man nature: lapiueand carnage, though horrU bie to gaze upon, though terrible to witness, cannot be compared to the moral evils which it inflicts upon society. It is not in civil strife that the tinkler altributesof'our nature are shown; the mind of man becomes hardened and callous amid scenes of blood and devastation. The transition from a peaceful republic to a military despotism is more iiy effected through such a medium than people generally suppose. Man kind are pretty much the same in every age of the world. Materia! civilzalioo, it is hue, mil develop the iniod and sharper, the intellect, but it does not purify the asi/irations nor elevate the moral nature of the race. * * * We have fmard a proposition made bv a prom inent speaker at the great deinonstiaiion which was lately held at Uuion Square, that we trust was either not seriously entertained, or had its origin in the excitement of the moment. It was nothing more or less than a recommenda tion of the policy which Eogiaud has puisued t • ward lieiand. The speaker expressed him self in favor of taking away the plantations from the Southern owners and bestowing them as lacd bounties upon the Northern soldiers. The idea, as we have intimated, is not an oiiginal one, as it u%p partially earned into ei fect against the people of Ireland, and as a means bv which that people were to be utterly exlerminat ■ j scalps, greater or less, accotding as they are'- ri, I from the heads of fighting men or of un reus mil' : women and children.

In the heat and excitement caused bv the prospect of war, and the attendant circumWi ces of political and financial prostration ;• corning election has almost been lost si l>y as ,H.. so far as i.s necesrary for the country'., safety' ! party bia, and party prejudice, and* endeavor ! to save that which is the ostensible ohj-ct of ai' j parties, and without which parties could not : exist.

So lor as our experience goes, this idea has we belt >v., come from Republicans ; and we firmly believe it to be but a ruse to add siteo'th ;to that parly, which has been for sometime ; trembling upon its foundations ; but an idea, and a very plausible and seemingly lair one it is, to | gull Democrats to the support of the Republi can party. Ah, yes, thev must invent some new story to tell. Wide Awake torch l.gbt I processions are no-v not exactly the thm<*. They cannot at this juncture ride into power upon their sectional doctrines, the damning - ffec.t ol which has already been made known, and since this refuge of lies his failed tlmm! they turn yjund and say to Democrats, in the : clemency ol their souls, "Wfe will now unite with you upon the common ground of our coun try's safety." For our own part we are willing upon ail and every occasion, when the eafety of our countiy is imperiled, through any cause whatever, to stand up in its defence, but nev er to depart from those principaies which we irt-iieve to be necessary for its perpetuation. We hope evry Democrat is willing to stand up for his country in its hour of trial, but stili ciing 10 Democratic principles.
