So far as their plealing for continuance in power is concerned, it passes by like the beggary of an insolent robber for acquittal, unheed- el snd scorned by all whose cars are msult- od by their clamorous appeals ; and for their threats, they but serve to settle the deter- mination of demoerals to suceeed.

They fuel that the arm that has been smi- ting the people is palsied—they know that their power has departed, unless, by foree, they can prevent democrats from coming to the polls, and we have but little doubt that they will attempt this last black act of ty- ranny, Like all other deeds of despotism, “military necessity” will be the plea for this, and we hope the democratic voters will be prepared to maintain their rights at all haz- ards and under all circumstances.

Why Is It 1 We should like to know why it fs that the abolitionists raise such & tremendaous howl about the terrible riots that raged in New York a few days since. The scenes that were enacted there are the same thet they Live been presenting to the people for years any morning before breakfast.” iin & wt wy ings of those dark.days in the Ewyire city, wert but the results of their own teachings, the consequence of their own aots, and why they should dencunce the bloody deeds of an exciled and exasperated mob, we do not kuow. It is but a few years since a police- man, while engaged in the honest discharge of his duty, was cruelly butchered in the g.reets of Boston, by a pack of cut-throat abolitionists, who were attempting to rescue a fugitive nigger. Every one remembers how the whole abolition party gloatea over that transaction, When our own State was disgraced by the brutal murder of a Southera citizen, at Christiana, not a tongue among them but praised the doers of the hellish deed. When John Brown, with his wretch- es, shot peaceable citizens at Harper's Fer- ry and destroyed their property, they all eu” long andloud upon the head of Gov, Wis: for is just deseris.

But now when mob iises to meet mob, when these debased aud detestable creaturas are met in their own way, we hear a tenible shrick going up from their craven lips, and a pure? prayer from their cowardly hearts, asking the law to protect them —the same law that they for years have been treating with contempt, and the same law that they have spurned and spit upon times without number. rn eel) ~D G Mp. Rewspap burning Democratic Jemocratic €it 07 A few of the big-mouthed, black- backed stripe of abolitionists in this place, have been venting their spleen on Gov. Sey- mour, because he called the citizens of New York, at the time of the terrible riots there, “friends.” This clazs of persons will be content with nothing until justice is meted out to them in a way which will touch their brutish feelings. These are the Aumanita- rians (!) that once shed such bitter tears over poor, “bleeding Kansas,” yet but a few years ago they rejoiced over the cold-blood- ed murder of a policeman by an abolition mob in the streets of Boston, and at this day they would much rather have seen the New York mob dispersed by ball and pay- onet than by the kind and persuasive words of Gov. Seymour. Men like these can have none of the “milk of human kindness” in their souls, and are a libel on hnman nature, not fit to be associated with or countenaned by any who have the least pretensions to christianity or to the finer feelings which distinguish man from the brute creation and ennoble him as the most perfect handiwork of God. ee Sie 434i 177 The war still goes cn, and the unho- ly demand for blood scems not yet to be sat- isfied. | history of our (Government ; the same two | the world with misery since human Govern- | very® im it—that it is not worth preserving | day to this. | despotism. logized the ofd villain end hesped curses, to : a “7” | unteer would ever have gone forth except Which will ye Serve.

Woodward. This is noth- ing more than every ‘one expecied, for if the Apostle Paal wer a candidate on the Democratic ticket the malignant tounges of Abolitionism, would soon fill the coun- try with lies about his misdemeanors and crimes, Let no one heed these reports, that the opponents of Democracy arc so busily engaged in circulating, they eman- ate from men who rogard not the truth, they are the natural fruits of minds that have been trained to lying since their infancy, they are hatched up and told by by persons who know nothing but oppo- sition to Demoeratic principles and Demo- ic men —and care for nothing but the overthrow of their political opponeuts, and the freedom of their equals, the negroes of the South. Not a charge that they make against Judge Woodward can thoy sub- stantiate, not a report that they circulate about him but is false. Fearing to assail him openly through their papers, they keep a lot of unprincipled men loafing about saloons, standing on the corners, and run- ning te their neighbors with stories, such as none but the basest could invent, Every body knows how this same party slandered the hero and patriot Andrew Jackson. Every one kiows that thers has not been a candidate on the Democratic ticket since the organization of the Dem- ocratic party but has been villified and abused by thesesame men, and why should we expect them to tell the truth now? falsehood is their only weapon—deception their only hope. Lhey have no record to stand upon —no principles to advocate, and their only chance of success is by unmit- igated lying, and the little they can ac complish by blackguardism and threats. Let Democrats remember this: and heed not the lies of our opponents. Judge Woodward's moral and political character is aboye reproach, ee tl Ae . Subjugation of the States. The Secretary of War, who.is supposed to, or ought to be, cognizant of facts, wrote to Mayor Opdyke, of New York as follows: «¥ivo regiments are under orders to refurn to New York. The retreat of Lee, now become a route, with his army broken and much heavier loss of killed and wounded than was supposed, will relieve a large force for the restoration of or- derin New York." When Pennsylvania was threatened with the Confederate invasion, tho Secretary's reply to Curtin, was, ‘You must take care of yourselves, we have as much as we can do to defend Washington.” It is a public history, **we cannot escape it,” that Gen. Lee rotreated into Virginia at his leasure, with his army, ammunition and plunder, in order ; that his loss m kill- ed, wounded and prisoners bears a fair com- parison to our own; that for nine days (ten, Meade and Couch tarried in Lee's rear, within reach, with 8 knowledge of the im- | mense plunder obtained by Lina ia the Cum veriand valley, anu mat they dud not move upon him, or attempt to give him battle, until Gen. Lee left the coast clear for them, by retreating into Virginia. Whether this tardiness was of necessity, or at the in- stance of Meade or the powers at Washing- ton, is not for us to say. But this we do say, thatif this statement of the Seeretary of War be true, then it is at least presump- tive evidence that the subjugation of North- ern white men is of more importance to the Administration at Washington than the capture of Lee’ army, 1f this ¢ ent of the Secretary is trae, it woald have been easy, by 2 concentration of forces io have captured Lee and euded the war, while it is generally believed that a simple ofl announcement J have allayed the terrible excitement in New York. €no the other hand, the non-atiempt to capture Lee and the withdrawal of five thousand troops from the army of the Po- tomac, weakens our front and gives lee opportunity to recuperate and prolong the war.—Jeffersonian. ——e on DrAFT SUSPENDED IN Tit BRADRORD DiIs- Trict. —We Jearn that on the night of the 18th inat,some person or persons unknown, by means of a ladder, entered the back win- dotv of the office of the provost marshal of Bradford county, in the town of Troy, and stole therefrom all the books, papers, vou- chers, blanks &e-, appertaining and belong ing to the draft in that congressional district, T¢ is apprehended that this robbery will cause a suspension of the draft in the dis- ict for some weeks, as a vast amount of labor must be performed befor the papers can again be made ready for drafting.

Do we not hourly, and daily, and weekly denounce all sectionalism ? Have we not denounced it for years; for a haif century 2 All our troubles lie in that one great act of treason against government and law, sectionalism. Iu denouncing that great political crime, we strike at the root of the disease—we strike at the branches— we strike at the trank, and were our strokes powerful enough to strike into the hearts of the guilty culprits who have brought ruin and death into the land. we would soon cure the patient and restore health and cheerfulness to the family circle, If the abolitionists, or now “Union men” par excellence, are not guilty, then our blows do not light on them! If they are guilty, then we but do our duty in striking them down with all others, wherever found, guilty of the same high treason against State's rights, constitutional government and the peace of society. If these abolition agi- tators, now ruling the government in its civil and military capacity, are alone the guilty ones, as they would make it appear by such complaints as the above, then our attacks are confined to them and our strokes hit no one else. Of this they can be the judge as well as we. * They have the game means of formation that we have, and it is their fault not ours, if they are too ignorant or to stubborn to understand. We have for thirty years denonnced all that sort of politics which had a tendency to array one portion of the States against other portions. We have for thirty years denounced Massachusetts and SoutiwCaro- hina in turn, and together. If we ever or always believed Massachusetts more to blame than South Carolina, it was a conclu- sion arrived at from the facts as they tran- spired and were understood by Gs. Living our whole life, or nearly so, here, right in the midst of the Northern division of this sectional contention, we may have been a little better acquainted with it than those at the South—m 1ts personal offen- siveness. So far it is possible our feelings may bave been to some extent warped, as would be natural in most such cases; but in dealing with the question as one affecting the peace and stability of the government— looking at the consequences in the Light of the sacrifice of a great nation and people to the Moioch of secetional disorder, we have neither personal or party feeling, other than those produced by reflection on the sad and horrible consequences 1 all of us, innocent and guilty alike. We have ever denounced —we shall ever denounce, until our voice is stopped by death or the despotic force of Abraham Lincoln, all men, of whatever cast or section who continue to breed ill blood on geographical lines, and thus per- petuate wars which a century will not heal, and for which three generaidons will not es- cape mourning and sorrow. Why men among us are wicked enough to encourage a condition of things which is just as cer- tain ruin to them and their children as to anybody else, is whal wo cannot compre- hend, ® : If they were ignorant two years ogo when they got it up as ‘“a mere three months job,”’ they certainly ought now to be manly enough to acknowledge their error and their want of sense, and rot attempt to impose upon the people by a new set of predictions and hopes jast as ridiculous and futile as the fist, No men, no people, no govern- ment can prosper on a basis of error—error in the eyes of all nations and proven so by all past history —crrors in estimate, in prac- Tee, In principle. False to truth —false to the enlightenment of ages, and to the pli- losophy of nature and God, Now, if our denunciation of error, igno- rance, wrong and outrage upon the institn- tions under which we hive, are more appli- cable to our political opponents here at home than to anybody else, it is not any business of ours, but against those whom we cast our auathemss. We shall certainly not cease because the guilty complain, let those guilty be found where they may.—-Colum- bas, Ohio. Crisis. CYA Aree The Rights of the People. The people of the United States havé ever *been tenacious of the riches which are in- herent and those guaranteed to them by the the Uonstitution, among whichare the rights of life, liberty, property, freedom of speech and of the press, and the right to worship God according to the dictates of their own conscience. These rights when maintain- cd make up the sum of our happiness and ‘prosperity, and have been so generally ack- nowledged and respected until within the last two years, that they have not been ful- ly appreciated. The people have always regarded them as undisputed, unalterabls and unchangeable, and so they ought to be but are they so regarded by the present ad- ministration # All these rights and blessings are guar- ranteed to all American citizens, whether native or naturalized, in the Constitution of the United States, and it was supposed that £0 long as the Uonstitution was recognized, by men in power as ‘tho supreme law of the land,” the people would enjoy them to the fullest extent; but do they? Let the prisoners of the State who arc now in prison, and those released from imprison- ment, who have been imprisoned without legal authority, and at the command of a despot answer. “Congress shall make ne law respecting an establishmont of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof, nor shall any law be made abridging the freedom ofspeec bh or of the press, The right of the peopleto be segure in their persons &e., shall not be violated. These and many other plain provisions of the Constitution might be quoted ag protec. ting the rights of the people. This Consti- tuzion has been trampled under foot and these sacred provisions have been diszraced by the men now in power. Will the people quietly consent to these usurpations 2 Will they allow the spoilers hand to proceed any farther in the violation of their rights and liberties 2 We answer No, The Adminis- tration must be made to know that the peo- ple will defend their rights and uphold the Constitution, and deferd.it as jt 1s, with its safeguards and guarantees. The only way the administration can be made to know the will of the people, in a peaceabls manner, is through the ballot-box. The time for mak- ing known their will, will be in October next. Let every man who is opposed to the one man power, who is opposed to des potism, and who is determined to live and’ die a freeman go to the polls and vote for the Democratic candidates, who are pledged to administer the laws and support the Con- stitution as it is, and who believe that there can no necessity arise when it'will be expe- dient to disregard a single provision of the Constitution.—Council Bluff’s Bugle, em The “Glory” of Our Arms. The so-called Union arms, are now, no doubt, gathering up a few victories at the fag end of a series of campaigns involving two years (and over) of terrible bloodshed, immenge expenditure of treasure, and im- measurable lying. The great valley of the Mississippi is temporarily at our mercy,and ‘the navigation of the “father of waters” is unobstructed from 1ts one end to the other. But what of all this ? 1f in addition to the splendid * “victories” of Vickgburg, Jackson, Port Hudson &c., which have cost us so dollars, we take Charleston, Mobile. Savan- nah, &¢.,— what then ¢ Will the Rebels be | “crushed”? Not much. Like ourselves,du- | ring twenty-three months of unvarying dis- | aster, they may be depressed, but not dis- | mayed. We may conquer every city they possess, but, in doing so, we do nothing to- | wards a satisfactory conclusion of the war, | because the administration persists in tur- | ning a deaf ear to ail propositions for peace | until the rebels lay dowa their arms. 7's they will never do, while aman with a mus- | ket and bayonet is stationed to oppose them, and they have one similarly armed, of whom to make an offset. "The glory of which we arc boasting, therefore, 1s the glory of the inglorious strong over the honest weak.

Mr. Jefferson said he died in the fear, almost be- lief, that all the sacrifices of the men of the revolution had been fer nought, He had seen what superhuman effort, what wise s/atesmanship it had required to save our government from overthrow by the Federal- ists. Its almost irresistible tendency was to centralization and consolidation, and the old Tories of the Revolution combined with the | British party under the lead of Adams and | Iamilton well nigh swamped Republicanism in 1800, After that it was one continued fight to preserve it from overthrow. The Central or Confederate agency was always | grasping new powers, and in 1826 Mr. Jefter- | son declared that “he had little hope that ! thie torrents of consolidation could be with- stood,’” Mr. Van Buren at that time a Sen- ator from this State said “that the entire <iendency of the Federal government was to tdescrease the power and lesson the respec- “ability of the States.” South Carolina passed resolutions on the subject which Mur. | Jefferson commended as he did the course of Mr. Van. Buren, Iie condemned the whole scheme of internal improvements by the gen- eral government as tending to corruptionand as a departure from republican principles, and the purposes for which the Federal gov- ernment was established, In a letter to Albert Gallatin on a national bank ha says : «This institution is one of the most deadly «existing against the principles and form tof our Constitution.” In another let- ter, he says ‘there has sprung up an <anglicomonarchical-uristocrodical party, whose avowed object is to draw over “us ‘the substance of the British govern. ment,” But what, forseoth, would Mr. Jefferson say now, when all power has become con- eentrated in the hands, simply of Mr. Lin coln. The power of life, and the possession of the purse and the sword, have been held in all ages to constituts absolute monarchy whether a man wear a wreath or a crown, and whether he call himself Emperor, King, Dictator or President. Mr. Lincoln now has as mach power as Caesar had when Brutus slew him at tue foct Lutipey’s statue, simply for desiring to add to his dignity the empty title of King. If Mr. Lincola has all these absolu!e powers, why delude ourselves with the idea that we are still living under the Republic? The powers now cuncentra- ted and consolidated render his sway almost omnipotent, A huge debt in which theen- tire money interest of the country is interes ted. Tue banking system, but little refer- red to, and yet 1a every aspect of the case, ths most cunningly contrived and most dau- gerous of all the eonsolidaling measures.— Then we have the aimy and navy, with their hundreds of housands directly and indirect- ly connected with them and dependent upon them for jheir subsistence. Then see the civil service with its horde of assessors, col- lectors, agents, §¢., in addition to the Cus tem Ilo: sc employees, Then we have a semi-military organization of Provost Mar- shals, and spies, and informers, over the country all of which combined, render near- ly every other wan we meet direotly or 1n- directly interested m the continuance of the despotic consolidation of powers which now rules us with its rod of iron. Iv is just the mode in which the British arictoery consili- dated its powers —jut the way in which Jef- ferson with prophetic vision foresaw our hiberties would be subverted. It does not need deep penetration to see thas the prospect of the people breaking away from this despotism when 1t is once fastened upon them is exceedingly doubtful. Long years of misery and miscule—of toil and sorrow, will be the fate of a people, where the young and the alhleric can be dragged to serve as slaves in the army. A people jealous neither of houor, liberty nor life. are ready for any yoke which an op- press r may impose, The chains of slavery are already clanking in our faces. Fify thousend hand-cufls now lie in this city reas dy for the wrists of refiactory freedom not exactly tamed to the abject Jocility of Rus- sian serfs. Should any white man insist that his awn liberty is of more valae thin tho freedom of barbarous and inferior race, his audacious presumption will be duly checked by the sha kles, and, like ‘“a born thrall” he mast bow his neck to the Aboli- tion collar or the ‘‘stocks,” and ¢ bucking” and other military pasishments will soon break the spirit that is within him. Then when all that makes him man is destroyed we when he becomes simply a human ma- chine, moved by others’ will he iv it to be the executioner and murderer of his fellow- citizens. If such power as this over the people does not make Mr. Lincoln an Emperor, what wore docs he need ? It is not to be dented King. ts carriage in Washington ts pre- ceded by an armed escort of cavalry, lar- ger than the body guard of a commanding- zeneral in the field. No monarch of Europe affects greater pomptor pretension, Iehasnot ouly the substantial elements of a Kingdom about him, buf he apes its ontward forms and gaudy displays, He lacks the refine- ment of royalty, but no matter. His sub- jects feel his power, and know the Republic is gone from the rights and libertics they have lost. He knows he is Ruler, King, Emperor or Dictator, and is willing to de- ceive the people by being called President. Perhaps he has read of the fate of Ciosar, who, though possessed of royal power, yet when he aspired to be carLep King, found a Brutus ! —Caucasian. mas Sroddy Getting Sick of Itsclf.
