Turn out Democrats, and let us open the coming Presidential carapagn in earnest. L?t us rally once more, for tho "Constitution as it is and the Union ae it was. J. P. HEED, Ctin. Item. Co. Com. Democratic Newspapers. Kver since the 13th of April 18G1, there has been no effort spared by the Abolitionists to muzzle the Democratic press. First, Democrat ic fie wspapers were mobbed, then excluded from the mails by a special order of tho Post Master General; and, of late, the returned soldier* been agged on by some stay-at-home patri ots to attempt violence again. In some instan ces they have succeeded—as in the case of the Momtor at Huntingdon, and one or two other papers in different parts of the State ; but with every effort they have used to trample law un der foot, they have only injured themselves. But from every portion of the State we hear other complaints. Democratic newspapers, sub scribed for in Philadelphia and New York, are nearly always sure to come a day later than Re publican ones, and, sometimes, not at all. The same may be said of those ordered by express— at least to this place. Why is this? Is it be cause this administration fears the truth, and has issued private orders to its subordinates to keep back Democratic newspapers, so as to give preference to its own vile sheets? Or is it be cause some of those subordinates are mean e nough to violate their oaths to gralify their own prejudices ? Ever since the breaking out of the rebellion those differing with this negro-worshiping ad ministration, "have been treated as though they had neither Jtigbls nor cuizettfbip under the gov soems to have been ignored by them, at least so far as their rights under the law have been con cerned; while all the patriotism, all the hones ty, and nil the law, have been arrogated to them selves. To "be a Democrat, is, in their opinion, all that is degraded and mean, while they con tinually resolve that they are the saints,- and, like the Pharisee, daily thank God that they are not as other men are. To bo a Democrat is to be "disloyal," say they, and that, in their opin ion, is "the sum of all villanies." Wc write this article that our Democratic readers may know the (rue reason why they do not get the papers they subscribe for, as soon as their Abolition neighbors get theirs; and so that' they may not attribute it to the wrong cause, j Wc had better wait to get the particulars of the i news from Democratic papers —if it should be several days later—(for there is at least a pros- j pect cf getting the truth from them) than to 1 have false reports one or two days sooner. And ! instead of patronizing their lying sheets, because j they have more favor in the eyes of the Post j Masters, let us do all in our power to circulate j sound Democratic doctrine, no matter at what J •cost. We do not wish to be understood that all post-masters are thus dishonest, but there are undoubtedly many in this county who would not scruple to keep back Democratic documents merely to gratif}- their little prejudices. Let them be watched, and if they act illegally we tftay perhaps find a remedy in the law. Mr. Long's Speech in Congress. On our first page will be seen an article tak en from the New York Times , a Republican pa lter, said to be the organ of Secretary Seward. It condemns in unmeasured terms the action of the House in regard to Mr. Long of Ohio. Mr. Long said in a speech recently made by him, that in the event of Lis having to choose be tween a subjugation of the South, and a separ ation, he would go for separation. For this some of the most rabid Abolitionists offered a \ resolution to expell bim, on the ground that his language was giving aid and Comfort, to the enemy. After considerable discusion this was withdrawn; and a resolution of censure, de claring Mr. Long to bo an unworthy member of the House, was passed by si very close vote. What makes their action in this matter so much ' more notable than it would otherwise be, is the i fact that a number of Republicans not only in congress, but out of it, have uttered, and voted ' much more treasonable sentiments than anything in Mr. Long's speech could possibly be, we take j the following from "Clusky's Political Text ; Book"—a work published in 1859, two ) ears be fore the rebellion broke out. It will be found on page 15 of the work alluded to, and in the J Appendix to the Congressional Globe of 1850. ' "On the 25th of February, 1850 Mr. Gid-j dings of Olio, in the Hoiuutof Representatives, I presented two petitions, one from Isaac Jeffries [ and other citizens of Penna., and the other John T. Woodward and other citizens of D* 1m and Pa. They were as follows: 'We the undersigned inhabitants of vania and Delaware, believing tha' the federal Constitution, in pledging the strength of the whole nation to support sl' er y, Violates the divine law makes war w° n human rights, and is grossly inconsista"' with republican princi ples! that its attempt to unite slavery in one body politic h" s brought upon the country great and manifr'd evils and lias fully proved that no such union can exist, but by the sacrifice of freedom to the supremacy of slavery, rcspecful if ask you to devise and propose without delay, ■ome plan for the IMMEDIATE, PEACEFUL DISSO LUTION OF THE AMERICAN UNION." li Mr. Giddings moved to refer the petitions to a select committee with instructions to in quire— First. Whether disaffection with our Feder al Union exists among the people of these States? Secondly. If so, to what extent uocs such discontent exist? Thirdly. From what has such disaffection a risen? Fourthly. The proper means of restoring confidence nmong the people? Mr. McClernand of 111. objected to fbc re ception of the petitions, and it was decided by a vote of yeas 8 nays 152, not to receive them. Tit? bnimative vote consisted of Messrs. Al len of Mass., Durkee of Wisconsin, Giddings of Ohio, Goodenow of Me., How'eof Pa., Ju lian of Ind , Preston King of X Y , anil Hoot of Ohio. Upon the Ist of February, 1850, the same petitions praying a dissolution of the Union were [K sen ted in the Senate by Mr. I lalt of X. 11. Mr. WEBSTER of Mass. suggested that there should have been a preamble to the petition in these words— 'Gentlemen members of Congress, whereas at the commencement of the session, you and each of you took your solemn oaths in the pres ence of God and on the Holy Evangelists, that you would support the Constitution of the U. S., now therefore we pray you to take immediate steps to break up the Union and overthrow the Constitution of the United States as soon as you can. And as in duty bound we will over pray.' But three Senators voted for the reception of the petition, viz: Messrs. Cuask H.w.k and Sk.wa.ko." The small capitals in the above are our own, the rest is quoted verbatim from the work allud ed to. Ixt any old hue whig read the pream ble Mr. Webster suggested, and than say that he would have been with the Abolition party to day if he can. This extract shows also who it was that first proposed to dissolve the un ion ; and that there are other disunionists beside Jeff. Davis. Do you ask who they arc—we point you to the president's cabinet; and two of the most responsible offices in the nation, you will find filled by CHASE and SEWARD —the men who voted to receive a petition in the Senate to "PEACABI.Y DISSOLVE THE UNION." The Abolition members of Congress seem to have forgotten the votes of their leaded in 1850; i and are therefore ready to expel any Democratic j member who utters his opinions freely—especi | ally if he happens to be from a district in which i nr ♦bin 1 ' '.ban cnnW fefwt Wfe gfrtli 1(15? us To see our sel's as others see us." Hon. B. F. Meyers. It will lie observed from the following that there are members of the Legislature who re peat the stale slanders and political lies of their party, as though they were gospel truths. What evidence is there, that the sheep pen (for it was nothing else) of Mr. Jerry Gordon was burned by a Democrat? not one circumstance. Nor can. tbere be a single line found in any issue of tlie Gazette, warranting the charge of Mr. Wat son, or the question that he seems to believe can not be answered in the negative. The Gazette never uttered such a sentence; and, indeed, we have no doubt that Air. Aleyc-rs never heard such an insinuation until made by the man who was afraid to make the other charge, when Mr. Meyers was in his seat. But this is condescending to answer a charge which every Republican in this county knows in his heart j to be a lie. Hocse ok Representatives, Friday, April 13. The House met at 10 o'clock A. M Mr. MEIERS (Bedford) rose to make a per sonal explanation. The statement had Wn made yesterday hy the gentleman from Phila delphia (Mr. Watson) that the destruction by fire of the property of an enrolling officer in Bed fox-d county was owing to the teachings of a pa per of which he (Mr. MEYERS) was proprie tor. The charge was but the repetition of an electioneering scheme and was a gross insult and a falsehood. This fire occurred in a township which gave Mr, Lincoln a majority of 111 in 1860, and which in the spring election of 18G4 j gave the Democrats 85 majority. Those who j asserted that the fire was the work of some per son either aliied to the Democracy or in sympa thy with the South proved themselves to be fal sifiers by not being able to name, produce or convict the incendiary. The course of the Hert ford Gazette , the paper alluded to, lias always leen to suppress any insurrectionary spirit, and it has asserted that as the conscription law was one of the laws of the land it should be quiet ly submitted to as such. Mr. WATSON inquired whether it was true that the paper had said of the enrolling officers that they would neither live a peaceful" life nor die a peaceful death. Mr. MEYERS said that when a gentleman asked him a question he would reply. Mr. W ATSON said tii.it the person whose property had been destroyed, and who was an officer of the government had received a warn ing that venganco would be visited upon bim and two others. This was why the bam was burned, and this was the legitimate result of in cendiary teachings. CAS Saupp, who was latt week arrest ed on suspicion of being connected in some way with the mysterious disappearance of Charles Pensyl, had a hearing before J. W. Lingenfelter, L?q. on Monday last, and was at once acquit ted, there being no evidence ngairst him what ever. Ip to this time, no further traces have been discovered of the lost man ; and the mys tery still remains unsolved. The Lady's Friend for May. We would call particular attention to the beau tv of the steel engravings in this number of the Lady's Friend. "The Lovers," engraved ex pressly for this number, is both in design and ex ecution, one of the most beautiful engravings that has ever appeared in a magazine. The Fashion Plate—which is of double size, and handsomely colored—is also a charming speci men of its kind. Of the other engravings, we need only say that they are as numerous, varied, and intcrestng as usual. Among the reading matter we note the fol- I lowing articles :—"Deacon Denison's Daught er," "Mrs. Jerry June's Fine Original Story," "Mabel's Mission," "The Lover's," by Jean In gelow, "Dick's Infatuation," "Norah's Ghost," "After Ten Years," by Virginia F. Townsend, &e. &c. Every one who does not take the Lady's Friend regularly, should at least send on tweu ty cents, and have this (May) number forward ed to them.

We clip the following from the Lewistown f Gazette, a Republican Paper to which it was ; written in reply to an article that appeared as nn editoral of that paper. We commend it to the war clergty and hope they may profit by it. Sir. EDlTOß: —Having understood from some friends that an article appeared in your paper a short time since, respecting my recent with drawal from the M E. shureh; and learning also that some misapprehension exists in some quarters as to the mode of my retiring from connexion with said church; without intending any reply to the article itself, {as iny role has thus far been not. to notice newspaper commu nications respecting tnyself, whether true or false and from which rule I shall not now depart;) I have yet to request, what all honorable Edi tors are ever ready to grant in all cases of this kind, that you will dom°- the moral justice to insert in your columns, the following letter, which it is hoped, will be sufficient in itself, without any detail of remark, to satisfy all well disposed minds, that I retire, with honor to my self, as well as the continued esteem of beloved brethren of former relation-hips, from the com munion of the Methodist Episcopal church. As | I purposely avoid all controversy with the wri ter in question, it is certainly in keeping with all the rules, that I should ask at your hands, what I trust will not be denied the publication of the present writing, without reply from any source, and especially from a writer who lias chosen to attack me "stat nominis unbra.'" Before submitting tfie letter however, I will say to all concerned Mr. Editor, with your permission that as a minister of the church, I ntn not conscious in my public ministration, of having at any time, wilfully violated any doctrine as held by the East Baltimore Conference, up to its recent session at Altoona, while as a citizen of the State, I have never favored the doctrine of se cession, but at all periods of my life, have al ways been, as I still continue to be a true friend of the Constitution, the Union and the laws: and that my true and only creed on the subject of the relation of master and servant, is.that tian minister, by Divine authority is bound to preach, according to the command "These things teach and exhort ." With these remarks, -Air. Editor, I now present the letter for tlie true un j derstanding of the form in which I have recent i ty seen proper to terminate all further connex ion with the Methodist Episcopal church. I "This certifies that the Rcr. Saml. Kep ler, having for reasons satisfactory to himself, withdrawn from the M. E church, at the ses sion of tk? East Baltimore Conference, held at Altoora, March, 1864, is hereby affectionately commended as a minister of the Gospel to all christian people. (True Copy) Given March 9, 1854 JOHN H. C. Dosn, Sec'ry. I remain Mr. Editor, Yours &c , SAMUEL KEPLER. WHO ASSIST THE REBELS?— The New York Times, an abolition paper, last week published a long article, accompanied by all the evidence, proving that a very extensive trade Las been go ing on in the west with the rebel authorities, supplying them with clothing, provisions, hard ware and other articles, in exchange for cotton. It is charged that it the administration and its agents are not directly interested in the trade 'hey could not have avoided knowing of it: in fact it was carried on to an enormous extent un der their very noses. It is surely scarcely worth while to keep an army of soldiers in the' field to fight the rebels, if an army of office holders is also in the field feeding them. GOLD FOR SOLDIERS. We arc glad to know that the Democrats in the Senate are in favor of paying gold to sol diers. I hey enlisted on the agreement that they should be paid in money—to pay them in shin plasters is simply to rob them of the difference in value. Foreign ministers are paid in gold. They can resign if they do not like it—hut the poor sol pier cannot. The Government violates itecon trftct and holds lim to his by force. "VVe annex the proceedings of the Senate, which put the matter in a clear light. Mr. Hopkins offered the following: AWctd, That the committee on Federal re | nations he instructed to bring in a joint resolu tion instructing our Senators and requesting our Representatives to vote for a law requiring the payment of non-commissioned officers aruf pri | vatcs in the sen ice of the Government in coin I or its equivalent. Mr. Champneys moved to amend by requir ing the committee to "inquire into the expedi ency oi such a course. I he original resolution was favored by Messrs Hopkins Clymer, Wallace and Lamberton, and opposed by Messrs. Johnson, Lowry. Fleming, St. Clair and Wilson. The Republican members assumed the posi tion that the resolution was only intended to make political capital, and that, both branches i of the legislature had already sanctioned an act' to increase the pay of soldiers. The Democrats on the other baud, asserted that the resolution was ottered in good faith, so that the pay of the soldier would not be reduced with the deprecia tion ot our currency. The disci sion took a wide range, embrncing Die question of the loyalty or disloyalty ot the Democratic party. Jt was charged that such resolutions as the above were calculated and in tended to embarrass the government. The Sen-1 ators on the Democratic side declared (lie asser tion to be false. This issue gave rise to a per sonal controversy between Messrs. Hopkins and Johnson. The depreciation of the currency and the rise in gold were discussed s Sir. Nicholas offered a substitute as follows: liesolced, That the Federal lielali in Commit- i tee be instructed to inquire into the expediency I of urging Congress to vote to increase the pay of the gallunt army and navy who are imperil ling their lives in defence of the liberties of the Republic and to pay the foreign ministers of the Government in the same currency as the ar my and navy. The substitute was adopted, ayes lb, noes If. Mr. Hopkins moved to amend by making the increase '-not less than $25 per month." The amendment was accepted, and the substitute as amended was adopted, ayes 30, noes 0. G-eneral Forrest's Raid. Success of the Confederates—Capture of Fort Pillow. CAIRO, 1U.., April 1 I. —On Tuesday morn ing Forrest, with some 6.000 men attacked Fort Pillow. Soon after the attack Forrest sent a flag of truce demanding the surrender of the fort and garrison, in the meanwhile dispos ing his force so as to gain an advantage. JMajor Booth, of the 3d Tennessee I". States Heavy Artillery, formerly the Ist Alabama Cav alry (negro), refused to receive the Hag of truce and lighting was resumed. Afterwards a second Hag came in, which was also refused. Jloth Hags gave the rebels the advantage of gaining new positions. ! The battle was kept up till 3 o'clock I'. SI., • when Major Houth was killed and Major Brad ford took command. The rebels hail come in swarms over our troops, compelling them to surrender. Immediately upon the surrender there ensued a scene which utterly baffles description. Up to that time comparatively few of our men were killed, but the Confederates commenced an in discriminate butchery of the whites and blacks including those of both colors who had been previously wounded. The dead and wounded negroes were piled in heaps and burned, and several citizens who join ed our forces for protection, were killed or wounded. The black soldiers, becoming demoralized rushed to the rear, their white otlicers having thrown down theirarms. Both white and blacks were bayoneted, shot or sabred, and even dead bodies were horribly mutilated. Children of seven or eight years of age, and several negro women were killed in cold blood. Soldiers un able to "-peak, from their wounds, were dead, and their bodies rolled down the banks into the Out of a garrison of 600 men only 200 re mained alive, Among our dead officers are Capt. Bradford, Lieuts. Ban*, Ackerstrom, Wilson, Revel, and Major Booth, all of the 13th Tennessee caval ry; Captain Posten, Lieut. Lyon, of the 13th Tennessee, and Capt. Young, of the 24th Mis souri, Acting Provost Marshall, were taken prisoners. Maj. Bradford was also taken, but is said to have escaped. It is feared, however, that he has been killed. The steamer Plaitc Valley came up about halfpast three o'clock. She was hailed by the rebels under a Hag of truce, and her men sent of the wounded as the rebels had*allowed to live. Fifty-seven were taken aboard, including seven or eight negroes. Eight of them died on the way up. The steamer arrived here litis evening, and was immediately sent to the Mound City Hospital to discharge here suffering passen gers. Among the wounded of the negro troops arc Captain Porter, Lieut. Libberts and Adju tant Lemming. Six guns were captured by the rebels and car ried otl, including two 10 pound parrotts and two 12-pound howitzers. A large amount of stores were destroyed and carried awav. The intention of the rebels seemed to be to evacuate the place and move on towards Memphis. "Twenty years of excruciating pain, with sleep less nights, I have suffered. A Spanish gentle man presented me with a bottle of Dr. Rail way's Ready Relief; I applied it. it gave me ease at once. I have been free front pain since I first used it : I now sleep in peace, my rheumatism is cured, no suffering, no more pain. WM. SYDNEY MYERS, Correspondent of the N. Y.
