From the llarrisbt/rg Patriot if- Union.
THE PEACE QUESTION.
'ibe New Yolk World closes a short contro
versy with tho l'hiludclpliiu Evening Journal on
the peace question in language which wo highly
approve, it is forbearing, sensible, just ami
comprehensive. However much the Democratic
party may desire peace, it is idle to make it a
platform plauk, or even to discuss it, so long as
we are powerless to effect it, or it can only be
attained by accepting conditions which involve
a permanent dissolution of tho Union. To such
terms we are confident no Democrat will ever
listen unless, as a last alternative, to prevent a
greater calamity. To talk about peace when it
is clearly unattainable upon any conditions which
we could with honor, or us patriots whose hearts
are hound up in the Union, accept, is not only
idle, but mischievous—its tendency being to dis
tract, not to untie tho elements ot Democracy,
whose undiminished, undivided strength is nc
cessary to acquire that political power without
which we are in no condition as a party to de
cide upon either peace or war. The Democra
cy, unfortunately for the country, are not now
the creator of events—that responsibility rests
upon the shoulders of the rebel administration
at Richmond and the Abolition administration
at Washington. All wu can do is to accept, tor
the time being, what tluy determine, opposing
to the utmost limit ol constitutional right what
ever We deem unwise, unlawful, wicked or dan
gerous. Together the two powers, though nom
inally antagonistic, are working for the same
purpose—the overthrow of the Union and tho
suppression of free institutions. This purpose
it is the duty, as we hope it is the mission, of
the Democracy to circumvent,• and this can only
be done by tho attainment of political power in
the States and the nation. To this end nil our
energies should be bent, for, without political
success, we shall be hereafter, as now, at the
mercy of our enemies, who hold the reins in •
their hands and direct, the policy of the country. -
The question then is, how can we best succeed—
by reducing or multiplying the issues? We are
clearly of opinion that but upon one platform
alone can perfect unanimity be attained—and 1
that is, determined constitutional opposition to 1
the general policy of the Lincoln administration, 1
avowed hostility to the doctrines of secession, i
and inflexible fidelity to the Union and tho Con- 1
stitution, which are to he upheld at every sac- '
rificc but tho acceptance of despotism in their 1
stead. Ui'Q" this ttimpfa wtef" 1 '" it seams to '
ly. Can they on any othisr? In opposition to
the doctrines and policy of the Abolitionists
and the Secessionists there is no disagreement
among Democrats. Are they entirely harmoni
ous on the peace question, or any other that
has I wen, as we think, unnecessarily and impru
dently introilneed ? Will any one assure us that
they are? Until we have that assurance we must
be permitted to doubt it, and to give our full
assent to the following calm, judicious expres
sions of the I Vvrld;
l'l.A'.L \nii tub Duiocturie I'artv. —So far
as the continuance or cessation of the war is a
practical question, its decision rests entirely with
the administration. Until important elections
have intervened, the Democratic parly las no
powerjto terminate the war except hy a rovolu
tion to deporc the constituted authorities and
organize a provisional government. This, oven
if it were desirable, could he accomplished only
hy force. If we were among the staunchst
advocates of peace, wo should be unable to see
our way clear to its attainment by a method
which su'. ' ituted intestine war in the North for
a united contest against the South. So long
as there is no escape from fighting, we consider
it better to fight the rebels than to light each
other. A forcible revolution in the North would,
beyond all question, secure Southern independ
ence; nay, ii would enable the Confederate gov
ernment to dictate terms. Wo cannot consent
to give up the ! nion except to escape a worse
evil; and if we had abandoned all hope of the
Union, we could not consent to accept whatever
boundaries, and other conditions of separation,
the South should "hink fit to as?ign us. We
therefore prefer to leave the question of peace,
where the Constitution and laws have placed it,
in the hands of the constituted authorities, and
labor to combine all the elements of opposition
to ctlcet n tranquil revolution through the bal
lot box. The premature agitation of the peace
tpicstion neither tends to bring peace, nor to
consolidate the opposition. All Democrats do
not desire peace on the only conditions on which
peace is ut present attainable; but all Demo
crats, so far as we are informed, do desire to
consolidate the opposition and render it invinci
ble. To this end, we find it more consistent
with our interpretation of public duty to seek
points of agreement among Democrats than to
give prominence to points of difference.
Whether the Democratic party shall next year
go into the Presidential election on a peace plat
form or a war platform, is a question which we
will not discuss, because we cannot lift the im
penetrable curtain which hides intervening c
vents. We are opposed to hypothetical politics.
We do not wish to-deal with aspects of public
questions that may never be presented. In times
so earnest as tliec, and when so much depends
on unforeseen vicissitudes of fortune, (for who
ran deny the vicissitudes of fortune in war?) it
1 seems to us important to draw a strict line be
tween the province of speculation and the do
main of statesmanship. Statesmanship should
not, indeed, be destitute of foresight; but ac
i cording ti* our conception of it, it deals only
with the actual, and oven although it has form
ed its opinion of the possible, it avoids commit
ting itself to u course of action which subse
quent events uiav show to be unwise
The present aspec* of tlic peace qurMion, so
far its we arc ftblo to spenk by authority, is this:
'T'hc Democratic party ot N. York, in its State
Convention I fist fall, passoil Certain resolves
which were acoepted I>y the party as its platform,
and on which it carried the election, annihila-
Fruodum of Though! and Opinion.
BEDFORD, PA., FRIM YARNING, MAY 8, 1883.
tmg the Republican majority of upwards of a
hundred thousand of the preceding year. Noj
Democrat, that wo are aware of, ever maintain?
Ed that those resolves were a pence platform.
As tho condition of the country has not essoni
tially changed, they stand to this day as the au
thorized exposition of the views of the New/
York Democracy.
While the Democratic party of Now York
thus gives expression to tho sentiments in which
it can unite, tho not less patriotic Democracy
of Pennsylvania, in the exercise of an equal
freedom, will do the same. 'There will be no
rivalry between them except to see which State I
will give the heaviest Democratic majority.—
When, tho following year, the States meet in
national convention, the discrepancies (if any)
in the party creeds of the several States will be
reconciled and harmonized, and all will thence
forward keep step to the same music and march,
in compact array to assured victory. We are
determined that no act of ours shall be an im
pediment to this consummation, on which is
staked the dearest hopc3 of our torn aud bleed
ing country.
It is implied, of course, that the road to this
I result lies through free speech and untrammcled
j political action. If the administration should
suppress discussion and interfere with the free
dom of elections, these indisjiensable rights will 1
be defended at all hazards. On this subject our
trumpet has given and will give no uncertain
sound. When these rights are invaded we shall
be ashamed and disappointed if there are any
persons professing to be peace Democrats, But
so long as free voting is allowed we deprecate
revolution; and, in the hope of early redress
through the ballot-box, we think it "better to
sutler those ills we have than fly to others that
we know tiot of."
From the Johnstown Democrat.
THOUGHTS FOR THE PEOPLE.
WE STILL MOVE.
Under the inspiring influcneeof the lung con
tinued cry for "rigorous and uiiconitrronunng war"
against the rebels, we are brought to a knowl
edge of a scries of the most successful—-not to
to say brilliant—achievements. Net deeming
it necessary to go back in review of the events
of the past two years of civil war, we design
merely to glance at a few of the most impor
tant movements forJjiu. J--Ucuitsdiuu.ill.(-
bellion, whWB ."rtTim tJii • the
reader can make a fair estimate of the general
character and progress of the war lor the Union '
(Negro 1)
First comes that brilliant achievement before
Charleston S. C., in which after an expendi
ture of about a million and a half of "green
backs,'' (which you know are very cheap just
now,) ami the loss of only one iron-clad and
the disabling of several others, wo succeeded in
showing the world that that port is effectually
blockade!—all assertions to tlie contrary, not
withstanding. It will be remembered that
months ago vessels were purchased, loaded with
stone in New England, taken down to Charles
ton, and sunk in the harbor to prevent vessels
from communicating with the city; but, ns
the thing was likely to prove a failure, the au
gust Administration, in its wisdom, conceive 1
the brilliant idea of submerging the National
Treasury in the harbor. It has just been done,
and the result is more than could have been ex
pected—not (i sinyle vessel am yet to the city I
On the Rappahannock all is quiet as yet,
but "Fighting Joe" husgflt his men up to prime
fighting trim with his onions and potatoes, and
although delayed by the rains, (or reins,) is res
ting uneasily on his porch like a falcon about
to spring. The long expected movement is
shortly to bo made—if it don't rain.
Vicksluirg, it is true, has been a knotty case.
The place is nut captured yet,but we have dug
a canal two canals—several canals, fur the
purpose of getting around what couldn't In got
over, but like Pillow's ditches, they are on the
wrong side of the entrenchments The Missis-j
sippi has acted badly In refusing to co-opcratc j
with the pick and shovel in our military exca
vation attack on Vicksbnrg. Put the expedi
tion has not been finally abandoned. We are 1
now waiting for the completion of a new in
vention, in the shape of a leaver (lovelier; (by an 1
ingenious Yankee Gentleman, who is in the full
confidence of the Administration) which will
be powerful enough to lift Vicksbnrg entirely
out of the way of the gunboats.
Gen. Rurnsidc is carrying on an active cam-'
paign against those butternut people in Indiana
who "cheer for Jell' Davis and the Southern
confederacy," and "who print disloyal newspa
pers." 'l'hcy are sent South to Gen. Rosccrans.
The public will be glad to know that the roads
are good, and no fears need be entertained that
the General will get stuck in the mud in this
new field of service. The people of Indianap
olis are warned by the commanding General of
the dire consequences of "wearing Ihitternut
and Copperhead badges." This plan of keeping
down po pnlar sentiment is none the less good
because it Ims been borrowed from the Austrian
and other tyrants.
Six persons were arrested in Cairo Ills., a J
few days ago, and were instantly hung—that is,
we have heard church members here say such
persons "ought to he hung," and as there
arc as yood people at Cairo as they arc, who
would come to the sarno conclusion, why of"
course the copperheads must have been hung.
Gen. Keyes, at Norfolk, Va., issues a proc
lamation, notifying the people that "on the ap
proach of the enemy to any town or village in
this department, such town or village will bo
immediately fired on." A correspondent of the
N. Y- Tribune says: "It has had the eifcct to
stir up the fears of women and children, and tim
id people generally." Of course; and this
shows that the work of crushing the "rebel
monster" is progressing finely in Gen. Keycs'
department.
It is reported in diplomatic ciroles that Sec
jjLlary Seward has fbrwu 1. '. •. second lifepateU
I |i Minister Adams, "in which Great Britain is
|Tamed of the cdwesjueii&t of sending more Al-
Übainna to prey on our commerce." Of course
Mr. Seward knows what he is about—being a
Sly-boots himself, lie knows that Great Brit
tin is in ignorance of the fact that we haven't
nptured the first Alabama yct-und that we hav-
Vp't more than about cleared ourselves in the
i|pht with the rebels generally. Under these
circumstances, of course the consequences to
Great Britain of sending out ten or fifteen iron
cads to prey on our commerce in the name of
tie Confederacy, would be awful. Of course
Ninister Adams will confer with his govern
npnt and his government will accordingly recede
aid ask pardon.— Bully for Seward!

AN AMERICAN.
THE "DEVII.."—Here is a description of the
mysterious thing called the "Devil," which the
Confederates captured from our lleetnt Charles
ton:
"An iron frame floated to the water edge by
pontoons, is pushed ahead of the Monitor as
she runs in. Its length from the bow of the
Monitor is from twenty to thirty foot. An ap
erture is made next to the vessel, of the shape
of hor bows, intended to receive it. The breadth
of the "obstruction remover" is twelve feet.---
From each side of the extremity n strong iron
bar or shaft runs down also 12 fuel, the Moni
tor drawing liuin eight to ten led ot water,
tho> rendering iiiiposdhli-. for any torpedoes ovui
which tin- "(ibii'll t a. ; i liivVe:" pas. vto in
jure the vessel.
"A numb'-i i f iron bai.- tire used, not only <
to form the net weak so as to either push lot
ward or explode every torpedo less than 12 feet
under water, but also to strengthen and steady
the niastr. At the lot torn a heavy tie bar u"
nitcs these two vertical roils, upon which rests
the percussion torpedo, containing seven hun
dred pounds of powder. Above tliis is a ham
mer which catches in a spring so stiff as to re
quire two men to set it, but constructed so that
the lever which protrudes in front, forming the
handle or other end of the hammer, will cause
the spring to give with little pressure. This is
to remove piles."
This "Devil" was invented by Capt. Erics
son at N. York, to clear channels of torpedoes
and other obstructions. He sent four of the
machines down,- but three were lost in a gale.
The other arrived safely at Hilton Head.
J'rof. Winchell, State Geologist of Michigan,
reports that tho whole central area of the State,
embracing one hundred and eighty-seven town
ships, or six thousand seven hundred square
miles, is underlaid by coal seams, ranging in
thickness from three to five feet. Mines have
been opened in several places, three at Jackson
and one at Corunna, which last year yielded
over twenty-five thousand tons. The coal re
sembles that in the Illinois beds in quality.
tv'The Illinois Central Company have sold
over sixty thousand acres of land during the
last four months to upward of one thousand
purchasers, for 8677,715,32. —The cash pay
ments in the same period have been $360,120,-
50.
fcfTlie editor of tho New Orleans Times says
the corsets worn by the ladies of that city will
bear a monstrous strain, judging from a lady lie
saw, who was so nearly cut in two that a man
might be amenable for bigamy should he marry

Modtiug of Colorod Citizens.
[HejiorteJ foi the boston Courier.J
Aii enthusiastic meeting of cukirti! citizens
war. held, a lew ovenings since, lu the cellar of
G. Washington Jctfer.son, North street. Tltoy
were called together hy the luminous of tin in
tiuential committee, for the purpose of consiiJ
ering the proposition of raising a colored regi
ment in Massachusetts.
G'tosiu- Augustus Crow, Laq., was muted to
the chair, uud Julius Epamiaoiila. Totiey was
requested to act as secretary. Upon taking the
chair, Mr. Crow opened the meeting with the
following eloquent remarks:
"Fellah Citizens and Culler'd liredren; We
is 'seinhled in desu yere spacious halls on a most
momenterous 'casiou. 'hellion has played liob
wid dis yere country, so dat white folk* is all
skecred, and now dey calls 011 us to save de na

"Weiim!" and vociferous cheers.) Yes, fellah

tion! (Voice —"Day is," and renewed stamps
on the cellar tloor.) Deui beiu' yer sentiments,
Mr. Toney'll please read de revolutions what's
been drawn up."
Mr. Crow sat down upon a barrel afliidst a
storm of cheers peculiarly African.
The secretary then read the following reso
lutions:
1. Where show, lookin' back tru dc vista ob
dis war, we don't see notbin* eucuragin', and
looki T tru de represpeek ahead, things looks
wus'ii ever, resolved, sumthin's got to be done!
'J. Resolved, white folks lmiiit done notbin'.
<l. Resolved, it takes culler'd folks to do sutn
thic'.
4. H isolveJ, how's it gvvinc to be done 1
Resolved, dill's de question !
The resolutions having been read, there was
a great rosh for the lioor, and gentlemen tread
ing upon the elongated heels of each other,
there was no little confusion and outcry. Or
der being nt length restored, Pompey Cole, Esq.,
wns recognized by the—barrel.
Mr. Cole remarked, "Mr. Cheorman, I don't
know 'bout dis yore ting. Fus place, afore we
licks do Sout, I wants to know what we'a got
to do 'bout it? I read a story in de Cvuner ted

'em to do it? Niggers out Souf didn't. He's
better off afore dan lie is now, kicken' 'bout
atween two armies and a ketebiu' it all 'round.
Culler'd geunnen here at de Norf didn't ax 'em.
S'posc we wants dem dirty niggers ciiklntin'

Is we gvvinc to shave for six cents an' black
boots for two cents, like dey can? No suh, no !
My sunterments is, dat if white folks hoi wait
ed till culler'd people and niggers had ax'd 'cm
to tight 'bout 'em, dere wouldn't been no tight
in' no way! Guv'nr Andrew can't cum it over
dis chile. If he wants a dinner, I'lo give him
one, like Mr. Hoyden did, 'cause I ain't proud;

The speech of Dir. Cole had such a convino- j
ing effect upon the assembly that the efforts of
President Crow, who was the only darkey in
the crowd who had received a live dollar bill
from the Governor, were totally ineffectual for
tin! preservation ot order The barrel upon

puhhe wcltaie.
A young lady of high accomplishments, the
family being without a servant at the time, step
pod to the door on the ringing of the bell, which
announced a visit from one of her admirers.
On entering, the beau glancing at the harp ami
piano, exclaimed: "I thought I heard music—
on which instrument were you performing?—
"On the gridiron, sir, with the accompaniment
of the frying pan," replied she. "Sly mother
is without n servant, and she says I must learn
to finger those instruments sooner or later, so I
have this day commenced a course of lessons."
A yankee boy had a whole Dutch cheese set
before him by a waggish friend, who, however,
gave him no knife. "This is a funny cheese,

A BUY WHO CONQUEKE&.
Some few yearn ago, a la.l whowas left without
lather and inothor, of good natural abilities,
went to New York, aloue ami frk-'ußess, to got
a situation in a store as erriuid-boy, or other
wise, until Ire could command u higher position i
but this boy hud boeu in bad company, and hud
gut iu a habit of calling for his "bitters" occa
sionally, because he thought it looked manly.
lie smoked cheap eigais also.
Ho had a pretty good education, und on look
ing over lire inoi nhig papers, hu noticed that'a
merchant in lVarl street wanted a lad of his
age, and hu called there and made his business
known.
"Walk into the office, my 1ml," 3 awl the
merchant. "I'll attend to you goon."
When he had waited on his customer, he
look a scat near the lad, and he espied a cigar
in his hat. Thin was enough. "My boy," said
he, "1 want a smart, honest, faithful lad ; but
1 see you smoke cigars, and in my experience
of many years, I have ever found cigar-smo
king in lads to bo connected with various other
habits, and, if I am not mistaken, your breath
is nn evidence that you are not an exception.
You can leave; you will not suit me.
John (that was his name) held down his head
and left the store; and as he walked along the
street, a stranger and friendless, the csunsel of
his poor mother came forcibly in his miod, who
upon her death bed, called him to her side, and
placed her ctnachUed hand upon his head, said,
"Johnny, my dear lioy, I'm going to leave you.
You well know what disgrace and misery your
father brought 011 us before his death, and I
want you to promise me before 1 die that you
will never taste one drop of the accursed poi
son that killed your father. Promise me this,
and bo a good boy, Johnny, and I shnllj die iu
peace.
The scalding tears trickled down Johnny's
cheeks, and he promised over to remember the
dying words of his mother, and never to drink
any spirituous liquors; but he soon forgot his
promise, and when lie received the rebuke from
the merchant he remembered .what his mother
said, and what he had promised her, and he
cried aloud, and the people gazed at him as ho
passed along, ami the buys railed at him. lie
went to his lodgings, and throwing himself up
on his bed, gave vent to his feelings in sobs that
were heard all over the houso.
Put John had inorul courage, lie had onor
passeif and era An iume had
other drop of liquor, fotrfft#p "(Ti
ger as long us he lived, lie went straight back
to the merchant. Said he, "Sir, you very
promptly sent me away this morning for habits
that I have been guilty of; but, sir, I have nei
ther father nor mother, aud though, 1 have oc
casionally douo what I ought not to do and have
not followed the good advice of my poor moth
er 011 her death bed, nor done as I promised her
I would do, yet I have made another solemn
vow never to drink another drop of liquor;
nor to smoke another cigar, and if you, sir, will
only try me, it is all I ask."
'i'he merchant was struck with the decision
and energy of the boy, and at once employed
him. At the expiration of live years this lad
was a partner in the business and is now Worlh
tqn thousand dollars. He lias fuithfully kept
his pledge, to which lie owes his elevation.
