ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENTS:
KE: W. M.—Weare under many obligations for
the pamphlet sent us.
JeNx1e —We should think not ; but having little
experience in the matter, could not say for
certain.
Marre. —Always be careful, in your lfutercourse
with young gentlemen, that you do not en-
courage too much familiarity.
P. H.-~Most assuredly there will ba an election
or a glorious big fight. If they refuse to give
you a chince to vote them out of power, be
prepared to assist in putting them out another
way.

The War.
82” The past seven days have been oxceedinge
dearch of war news, We have neither acconnts
of battles or expevted battles, no moves or coun-
ter moves, everything isquiet in all the ‘‘depart-
ments,” except when the Confederate Gurillas
pounce upon some unprotected point and earry
off the loads of plunder. No doubt Gen. Mead
will be very well satisfied if Gen. Lee remains in-
active, until the Abolitionists, who were sent
home to New York tovote, returns to the army.
We know that they are not very good on a fight,
but to make a show with, they will do in a
pinch.

The Democratic Watchman.
Our young and somewhat ardent friend of
the Democratic Watchman objects to our res
marks on the new requisitisn, and seems |
desirous to have a tilt with us on the peace
question. In this respect we shall not grat-
ify him, being convinced that no substantial
benefit to the party would result from the
controversy—and Lowever gratifying it
might be to us to sec our young friend add
pew laurels to those he has already won, we
pref r that he should do itin another field.
We have *‘nost mach for the fight,” and
even were we certain of our ability to storm
Lis en'renchments Ly a sudden dash, and
gea ter what he conceives to be his invinei-
lle forces, we shoud not make the attempt.
If he docs not | ke our course, neither do
we altogether admire his, The article to
which Le excepts needs no explanation Tu
expresses our sentiments in plain language
~sentimerts wh ch we have cons'antly ad-
vanced and advocated, and which are in
strict accord with the platfcrm of the party
adopted unanimously by the last Democratic
State Convention. From the position we
have assumed we do not mean at present to
depart. because we believe it to be the most
prudent as well as the most patriotic posi-
tion which we or the D.mocratic paity conld
occupy. Experience and reflection have
brought us to this corclusion--and if our
outhful contemporary is wiser than we, {t
18 our misfortune than we cannot see it,
‘Perhaps we wistake his position—but if
we intcrpret him correctly. he belongs to the
Fernando Wood school of “‘peace on any
terms” politicians, The theme is one on
which people of brilliant imagination, poets
by nature, full of fancy and fire, may dilate
at pleasure without, in a century of time,
reaching any practical result.
We have read with some attention the lu-
cabrations of the News and the adumbra-
tions of the Watchman, and yet to this point
of time, we have bern unable to discover
any plan by which the purpose they seem to
have so much at heart can be accomplished.
While we as sinccrely desire peace as any
of those who arrogate to themselves its ex-
clugive championship, we are nevertheless
not jusensible to the folly of such methods
as have hitherto been proposed for its at-
tainment by the sect of radicals —no less fa-
natical than the Abolitionists themselves —
who seem to have taken the question in
charge, Before they can rationally expect
us to follow them, and yield our own well
considered policy, they must eut a v'sible
road to their Utopia, We venture after no
ignis fatui.—~Parrior AND UNION,
We can inform our fatherly friend of the
Patriot and Union that he is most egregi-
ously mistaken when he supposes that we
took exception to his article on ‘the new
requisition” for the purpose of generating a
¢ controversy” or because ‘‘desirous to have
a t!lt with him on the peace question,” We
spoke of it just as we should have cone had
it appeared in the humblest paper in the
State or in the most influential journal in
the land. We seck to engender disputes
with no one. We advocate what we believe
to be right, and condemn what we believe
to be wrong, and if ‘‘experienced” and “re-
fleeting’ members of the party condemn us
for dong so, we cannot help it. We have
yet to learn that #‘prudence’’ and the *hope
of success” constitute the great and glori-
ous principles of the Democracy, or that
any other “position” than a strict adherence
to those principles under all circumstances
would be ‘prudent’ or ‘patriotic’ for us or
the Democratic party to ‘‘assume.”
As to our position, which he seems to be
at a loss to interpret éright, there need be
no mist ke, We are simply a Democrat,
and as such, oppose a war which we believe
to be unnecessary, unjust, anti-christian
and anti-democratic, Did the experience of
the last three years teach us that it was
right, or that an armed force would eventu-
ally re:tore peace and union with the rights
of all the people and of the several States
unimpaired, we should most certainly give
it our undivided support, and not only
would we preach in its favor, but we should
p-actice what we presched. Butas we be-
1: ve it to be what our aged contemporary
las ot n declared, and what leading Ad.
ministration men now admit, an Abolition
war, fiaught only with evil to our country,
ve deem it a duty we owe not only to our-
self or our party, but to the memory of
that noble band of patriots whose blsod
and treasure secured secured ug the glorious
heritage of freedom, to oppose it to the ut-
1. ort of our ability. If the advocates cf
eoerciin.in whose favor our friend of the
Patriot vod Union has seen fit to array him-
I
self, will chow us what good thing they
have accomplished in the thirty months they
have been murdering’ white men, stealing
negroes and squandering money, if they
{ will give us rational proof that their policy
will giye us back the Union of our fathers,
or restore kindly and fraternal feelings with
the peo le of the South whereby that desi-
{ rabic object can be atined, we will willing
| ly e pense their cause : until they are able
| to do this; we shall cling to the course that
seemeth to us the more consistent with our
| principles, notwithstanding a certain class
| of policy ren may look upon us as radical
or class us even among fanatics.
Do ibe ecuormeus expenditures of this ad-
ministration never enter the minds of these
men? Js the fearful debt already fastened
on the backs of the people overlooked entire-
bly by them 2 Does the suftering condition
of the thousands of innocent men, women
and children at the South, whose homes
have been pillaged and burned, and they
driven forth penniless beggars by the mad
acts and infernal policy of Abolitionism,
never obstruct their vision of future pros:
perity and happiness? Do the graves of
their slaughtered kindred, the empty seats
around «heir hearthstones, the deserted pews
in their churches or the bleeding stumps of
arms and legs that point out pitifully in ev-
ery direction, never rebuke their clamors
for blood 2° Does the bitter experience of
the past, the gloomy condition of the pres-
"ent or the hopeless prospect of the future,
teach them nothing but to howl anew for
war? So it scems; and becausc we will
not compromise our position and join in the
general yell, because we will not Iet go our
principles and cling to their “well consid-
ered policy,” we are “no less fanatical than
the Aboliticnists themselves.” If to be in
direct antagonism to Abolitionism—if to
meet it, as it shculd be met, without fear:
favor or affection——1f to denounce it and its
detestable doctrines and 1efuse to support
its infamous designs and wicked attempts to
destroy our Government, is fanatical, then,
we thank God that, along with the great
masses of the Democracy, we are fanatical.
If there is any honor to’ be gamed by
pleading for men and money to aid this Ad"
| niinistration in perpetuating its own power,
{ in as3isting it to degrade the white race to
a level with the black. ard to subjugate
those who support the war because itis pol-
wy to do so, deserve it; and we hope noth-
ing may prevent them from receiving a ful]
share,

Political Dialogue.
i No. 2,
Abulitionist. —Good evening neighbor.
Demacrat.—Good evening to you sir
er what we were talking about the other day
anc Thave concluded you were at least half
right in what you said about names.
D,~1 am glad you have come to that con-
clusion, for 1n our conversations and discusg-
sions we can get along much better, and
preserve good feelings mare certainly by
avoiding all contemptuous or opprobrious
epithets.
A.—~Certainly you are right about that ;
and as we are neighbors, living here side by
side, it is certainly very desirable that we
should not become personal enemies because
we difitre about polit cs.
D.—I agree with you perfectly : and
besides I see no reason why there should
be any d:ffercnces between us personally. 1
have always respected you as a neighbor, 1
believe you are an honest man, and a good
law obeying citizen.
A.—Of course I have always tried to de-
serve such a character, and to retain the
good opinion of such men as you are, whom
I'look upon as one of our best citizens. —
You know I never liked your politics, and
especially since this war commenced.
D.—1 am well aware of that ; and have
frequently thought you carried entirely too
much personal feeling into your politieal
course. I have always given you credit for
being candid and sincere in your political
opinions and practices, while of late you and
your party associates have acted as though
you thought that T and other Democrats
were knowingly pursuing a course detri-
roentul to the country. :
A.—T must admit that 1 have frequently
thought and felt so,
D,—Yet you must acknowledge that you
were ungenerous and unjust in that, [Here
Tam a private citizen like yourselt. I hold
no office and never wish to, I have: my
amily around me, a good business, and
have suved a litt'e property. All I desire
politically is to have a good government,
wisely administered, to protect my life, hib-
erty, property and family,
A.—Why, dont you think thisis a good
government ?
D. —Most certainly T da. I believe this to
be the best government ever devised by hu-
man wisdom.
A—Then why should you and I differ for
that is my opinion entirely. Why will you
not join me in the support of the Govern-
ment.
the form of government thy + 1 believe to be
superior to all others, not the manner
at this time.
A.—Well I cannot understand the distine-
tion which you attempt to draw bctween
the government and the Administration.
1 do not see how a man can su,.port a gov-
ernment while he is all the time opposing
the administration in every thing it does to
preserve the government.
D.-You were never troubled to understand
the distinction at any former period of our
history, During the administration of Polk,
Fieice, or Buchanan, while you were bit-
terly opposing their policy. I presume you

D.—You entirely misapprehend me. It is |

A.—Things were entire'y dificrent then.
The government was not then in danger
from a gigantic rebellion, No war
existed, and we were in a state of profound
perce, } &
D.—You forget the Mexican war during
Polk’s admimstration. But aside from that
you will not surely contend that a declara-
tion of war, whether it be a foreign or a
civil war. exalts an administration into the
dignity of the government itself.
A.—Tu time of war, when the very exis-
tence of the government is in danger, every
good citizen should support an adwministra-
tion, of whatever party, in all their efforts to
protect and maintain the hoor and integri-
ty of the nation,
D.—Every good citizen does unquestion-
ably do everything in his power to protect
and maintain the honor and integrity ot
the nation. But he is st1l a rational! be-
ing; and must exercise his own judgment
as to what course of policy will best sub-
serve those great ends. And if a party in
power proposes a line of conduct regarding
the war or any other subject, which after
mature consideration, he sincerely belicves
will not promote the best interests of the
country. he is bound asa good citizen to
oppose by all lawfal means,the adoption and
and prosecution of that policy.
A.—1 am not so sure that you are right
on that point,
D.—Individuals in office are no more in-
fallible in time of war than in time of peace:
In fact, if there is any difference, they are
more apt to err in time of war, for having
much more to do, and many more" respon-
sibilities resting upon them, they have not
the same time for a careful consideration of
each act and policy as they have in time of
peace and tranquility.
A.—So much the more reason then why
we should not rashly condemn them, or
nedlessly find fault with what they are do
ing. For that very reason we shoul look
with more leniency upon the errors which
they do commit.
D.—That may be true as far as the in-
dividuals are concérned, But it is no rea-
son why we should support them in their
erroneous causs, On the contrary, errors
and blunders committed by men in respon-
sible positions, are much more likely to
| prove fatal in time of war than 1m time of
peace ; and therefore the citizen should al-
ways be on the watch to see that no pubiic
officer nor an administration shall do any-
thing in time of war, either intentionally or
ignorantly which may prove disastrous to
the country,
A-—Then you woull make every private
citizen a spy to watch the conduct of every
pubhe officer. That would be a pretty state
of things surely.
D.—1 would make every citizen of a free
government, a “sentinel on the watch-tow-
I ers of liberty,” I would have every “free.
I man to guard well his own liberties, and the
liberties of his posterity, “Eternal vigilance
is the price of hiberty;”” and wherever the

| indifferent, willing to consign the protection i
| of public liberty to the hands of office-geck
[ing and office-holding joliticians,

| who is elected or appointed to an office,
| ust necessarily be nct only a rogue
and a scoundrel. but also a traitor to his
| country, :
{ D.—No;l do not think them quite that
bad. But knowing the fallibility of human

ing the corrupting influence of public place,
! and the corroding wiluence of power upon
the patriotism of individuals, I would not
trust the liberties of a great people in the
: hands of any set of men, without fi~st bind-
| ing them down by checks and restraints
| 80 numerous and so strong, as to compel
them to do right, or suffer the dircot conse-
| quences.
. A.—You talk very warmly on this sub-
! ject. One would suppose that you were 1n
| daily fear that our republican government
| would be subverted and a despotism egab-
| lished on its ruins. a
| D.—%he moment we accept your theo-
! ries, that the Administration is the govern-
| ment, and that to oppose the acts or ques-
tion the policy of the administration is to
| oppose the government itself, we are much
nearer the realization of that terrible catas-
trophy than you even dream of.
A.—1 cannot possibly think so. 1f
[ we can crush out the rebellion the country
I1s safe enough.
D.—Not under your theory, For they

thers erected to protect the public liberties.

pose to adjourn further considecations on

Faith in the People.
Faith in the people is an essential feature
of the Democratic creed. We hold that
they are capable of self-Government. Seri-
ous fear, however, is expressed by some, lest
the people become so completely overslough-
ed by the dominant party as to be unable
finally to reassert their rightful authority.
Our fathers established a free representative
system, and, in doing so, meant that public
officials should be mere public servants, —
The Government consists of delegated pow-
ers alone, expressed in a written Constitu-
tion,"which isnot less clear mn its recogni-
tion of popular rights and liberties. than in
the specification of 1ts ¢ wn powers ; and in
this the people are acknowledged sovereign-
t
During the last two years and a “alf. the
dominant party has labored to revolutionize
our free institutions by changing the Govern-
ment from one of d Jegated powers into one:
of arvitrar,; assumption, limit: donly by the
disc etion of the Chief Mxedutive. The fan-
damental principle of the fathers, that the
people are the source of all power, 13 open-
ly repudiated ; and it is against this radical
perversion that the Democratic party is now
battling for popular rights and liberties.—
Since the inauguration of this war, the peo-
ple have quietly submitted tocertan uncon:
stitutional acts of the Federal Administra-
tion, rather through the hope of a final cor-
rection of errors than from permanent ac
quiescence in them. A failure to compre-
hend this hus cau-ed most gloomy forebo-
dings of the future,
The people ure yet soyereign, despite the
tyranny of Abraham Lincoin, and the day
is not far distans when their power will be
felt in restoring the Government to its crigi-
nal integrity. One benefit. at least, has
arisen from this war, in that the issues su-
perinduced by it have led the public mind
back to the time-honored principles of the
iathers ; the invaluakle lessons of tisiory
have been carefully reviewed 5 the spirit of
the past has been invoked and under its in-
spirations we now behold popular demon-
strations without a para lel in our anvals
We hehola the struggling life of a great

Our faith, therefore in popniar Govern
ment is as firm to-day as eves dour be
| let in the efficiency of Des prin
ly and wickedness of tinse who
trample them down. A genuine Democrat
has but to took back over the brilhant path
of history preceding this war when the
Democratic party administered the Govern-
ment in peace and prosperity, and then re-
feet upon the mad administration of the
pariy in power, to appreciate the soundness
of his own faith, 3
If the experiment of popular Government
were to be judged of in the baleful light of
Lincotn’s Administration, it migha well be
called a failure ; but the events of the last
two years and a half have only demonstra-
ted the rwbecility of his party —-not the in-
capacity of the people This fact is daily
reaching the public mind. [t is the chief
element in the struggle now beng waged
between the Democratic and the Abolition
parties—a struggle which, though encum-
bered by all the difficulties ineident to a
str fe with tyranny, will result at last in the
perfect triumph of the people Let this
siruggle. then, go on with unfailing energy.

What They Rejoice Over.
The abolitionists are rejoicing over thei
success in the recent elections. ~ They re-
jorce that they have obtained another lease
of office, a prolongation of public plunder;
they rejoice over a ruined country, aviolated
Constitggion: over the death of American
liberty, the enslavement of the descendants
of ihe fathers of the Repulic, overblood and
carnage, decrruction and death; over mcre
taxation, more dratts more rain, more
war. Devils also rejoice over the afflictions
of mankind.

Lincoln’s Alliance with Russia.
The Republican papers are boasting of
the good understanding, if not actual alli-
ancy, which prevails between the United
States and Russia. This would have been a
sirang and abhorred and unnatural union
once, but is not now. What more appro-
priate alliance for Lincoln than the land of
Knout and of banishment to Siberia? The
land where civil liberty is unknown, and
where habeas corpus, trial by jury, and of
freedom of spee ‘0, and of the press have
never been enjoyed. The land which, from
Behrings Straits to Poland, and the Crimea
and Siberia, 18 ruled by the arbitary will of
one despotical tyrant,without check or lim-
iration. The land of an immense standing
army, of remorseless military conscriptions
-—the oppressor of Pcland and Finland,
whose iron heel of power cri shed out the
dawning hbertie. of Hungary. The Colos-
sus of despotism, the sworn and mighty foe
of human liberty in all its phases, whose
title to government rests solely upon force,
strikes hands with what was once the Re-
public of the Western Wortd—what was
once the land of the free, as wellas the home
of the brave, But the Russion Cwezar ob-
serves in Lincolns’s Administration the
germs of a Government after his own model,
He sces it destroy all the liberal institu-
tions of free men-—run counter to the ua-
tional history of the pa.t—abandon the tra-
ditional policy of Washington and Jefterson
for that of Peter the Great and Empress
Catharine- and, naturally enough he ex-
tends his hand, blood-red with the slaughter
of the brave and gallant Poles. Lincoln
accepts it, for he knows that in the whole
world, outside of some gigantic despotirm
hike Russia. all honest and hberal men exe-
crate his policy, and condemn his murder of
civil liberty. — Cin. Eng.
