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.

Rev. Saml. Kepler.
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.

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.
