anything of the kind.
~BrupENT.”’—Webster is taken as good authority
by ull, but in some things he, of course may
be wrong.
«Disporant.”’—The antherity you want is to be
found in the 5th article of the amendments of

in a respoctable paper, send it to some abolt”
tion sheet, they owuld be glad to get it.
Taro.—We are sorry that bigotry, ignorance and
prejudice prevents you from seeing things in
the right light. We publish an independent
Democratic paper, and if yeu don’t iike our
style, you can take the loss of it.
IxQUIRER.’—Chict Justice Lowrie, decided at
Pittsburg at the late session of the Supreme
Court, that the Conscript act is unconstitu
tional, Judges Woodwaid and Thompson
egreed with him, and Judges Reed and
Strong dissented, we shall try to publish all
their opiniors.
The War.
This miserable, wicked, fratricidal war still
drags its slow length along. During the week
tbat is past no moves of importance have been
mede in any department. On the Rapahapnock
Gen. Meade still stands on the defensive, and as
wo intimated several weeks since was making
preparations to go into winter quarters. The Con.
foederate Gurillas seem to be the only part of the
forces that are awake and about at this time.—
They regard neither the wishes of our Generals
or the comtert of the privates—the hopes of sul.
lers or succes: of waggen masters, regarding noth
irg but the future welfare of the Confederacy, cr
the peculiar state of their own digestive organs
and pockets, they prowl about om every hand
escking whom and what they may devour. Our
readers” we know will not be disappointed if
Riohmond is not taken before winter sets in aright,
and if itis token by force of arms, before fifty
winters come and go. by those who now control
matters we will bo considerably disappointed.
From Chatanooga we have news that Grant has
succeeded in getting supplies to the army, sufi-
cient to keep it from want; movements by both
armies are hintcd at which may terminate in
something, perhaps ancther Chickamauga.
We are able to inform our readers that Fort
Sumter bas at length—not fallen. active opera-
tions in that department seem to have ferminated
for the time being.
= Ib fo ropurted that duitng tho month of Outvbus,
the Confederates received enough of Enfield Ri
fies, at Brownsville Texas, to equip all their sol-
diers in that State.
Their Object.
We have often wondered hew men, sensi-
ble thinking freemen, could become so
blinded by fanaticism or bigoted by political.
prejudices, as not to see tie dangerous situ-
ation in which their hberties were placed,
when the fanatics who now control the des-
tinies of the Amcrican people succeeded in
gaining the suprereacy or in getting posses.
sion of the reins of government. From the
birth-day of ourlate Republic—the memor-
able Fourth of July, 1776 —there has been
a faction on this continent with its aiders
and abe:tors in the old world, working as-
siduously to crush out its life, and establish
in its stead a monarchy, or, 1ather, an Aris-
tocracy, where the few who owned dollars
would rule, and the possessors of weaith
hold high court over the suffering, poverty-
stricken mass:s.
It began its work during the dark days
of the Revolution, and as “loyalists” Jabor
ed to crush out the patriots who sought to
throw oft the yoke of tyranizing Britamn.—
Failing in that eflort, it again sought to fes-
ten a despotism vpon the people, and acted
as ** Alien and Sedition” men, trying to force
the tyrannical dogmas of the elder Ad-
ams, upon those who had sworn to be free.
lack cockades, bastiles, arbitrary arrests
and whipping posts could not crush out the
¥pirit that animated the defenders of liberty
nd when Great Britain again sought to force
{the freewncn of the young Republic to ac-
cept her rule, the same party burned ‘‘blue
lighs” along the coast to guide her emissa-
ries in their work of destruction. It could
not, with the assistance of its foreign allies
place a crowned head over the determined
freemen of America ; and 10 convention ut
Hartford it again sought to blast the hopes
of our fathers by attempting to dissolve the
Union of the States; but here, as before,
disappointment awaited them, and from that
day they have labored to gain power that
they might carry cut the desired object.—
No two years had they the same name—no
two years bad they the same platform—but
always the same design. Scorned and con-
temned as this faction was at first, yet it
has at length succeeded ; and now the pa-
triot must gaze with sorrowful eres upon
the eflorts of these life-long traitors, who
espoused its cause, to destroy the govern-
ment of Washington and his compatriots,
How honest, intelligent men, could assist
the party, whose history we have thus but
slightly sketched, to obtain the ascendency,
God alone knows. If their consciences do
not smite them as they look upon the torn
and bleeding fragments of our once great
Republic, they must be lost to all feclings of
humanity and abandoned to all that is ow,
yile, selfish and degrading in human nature,

AsorrrioNist.— Well, neighbor, I come
over this evening to give you an opportuni-
ty of redeeming that promise you made last
night.
DEMOCRAT, — What promise was that ?
A.—To explain how 1t comes that your
party is continually finding fault with Lia-
coln and his administration, while you have
not one word to say against Jeff Davis and
his rebel government.
D.—Jt seems to me you must be already
satisfied that we are perfectly justified in
finding fault with Lincoln and his appoint
ees. That whenever we believe his policy
detrimental to the country, we are in duty
bound to complain. It is from motives of
the highest patriotism.
A.-As you say nothing agaiust the rebels
we are to understand then that you approve
of their policy ?
D.--Not by any means. The econfeder-
ates will mot modify their policy in con-
sequence of the opinions of any portion of
the whole of the Northern people, while
1t is the duty of our public servants to obey
the behests of the people. Do you suppose
any good could poesibly result to the Worth
fe Suppress "the “rebellion "oy cA SR
carges?
A.—No, I don’t know that we could sup-
press tue rebellion by simply earsing ihe
Southern people ; but then it would show
which side of this struggle you were on,
and at the same time show to the 1ebels
that that the North was united against them
aud that they had no chance of assistance
or even sympathy from the people of tie
loyal Eintes.
1.—Would it be really desirable to con-
vince the South that they had po friends or
sympathizers in the North.
A.—Most certainly it would ; I have no
doubt they have been kept up for months
by the hope that they would receive aid
from their friends in the North.
D.—Whio ever told them they had ony
friends 1n the North? fiiends who would as-
sist them 1a any effort to break up the Union
and destroy the old government ? Your
party newspapers and party orators, Dem-
ocrats deny that they have eny sympathy
with the present purposes ol the South-
ern people. We allege that we are for
the government o3 our fathers founded it}
for “the Univa as it was” under ‘‘the
Constitution as it is.” But your party de-
ny this for partizan purposes and say that
we arc ‘‘copperheads” and sympathizers
with the rebellion. For low, base, party
purposes, you go to thz ¢rebels’” and s.y
to them in effect : “persevere, struggle on
—one half of the people of Pennsylvania
and every other Northern State are your
friends, and would move heaven and carih
to promote your cause ; they will let siip
no opportunity of striking a fatal blow io
the government ; and surely with their as-
sistance you must in the end succeed.” —
And after that you turn around and accuce
us of giving encouragement, aid anl ccm-
fore Io tse *‘rebels:’”
A.—1It was not what my party were do-
ing that I come to talk about, but to learn
why your party never had anything to say
against the South.
D.—Bccause it would be anidle waste of
breath to talk against a people or their con-
duct, when that people was entirely beyond
the influence of our conversation, We can
employ our time and abilities to better ad-
for the country, endeavoring to correct the
horrible evils, mismanagemert and blunder-
ing in our own affairs, than idly talking
abont the conduct of men who claim to be
independent of us in evrything,
A.— We dont suppose that your conversa-
tion would have any direct influence npon
the rebels. But it would unite the people
of the North in their hatred of these men
who have attempted to overthrow this
governmct, and by that means make the
people more willing to enlist to put down
the rebellion,
D.—I admit we might increase the bitter
state of feeling already existing through the
instrumentality of your party, between the
North and the South, but I deny that this
would be of service to the country ; it would
only be adding fuel to the flames that are
now destroying the government, and render
the propsects of future Union and good feel
ing between the two sections more gloomy
still. Mcn are not dogs, to lick the hand
smites them, and the people of any coun.
try canuot, by coercion and curses, be
made to love or respect the power that
abuses them:
A.—That may be so; 1 will
farther at some other time.
D.—Good evening, sir.

pa As yet no effort has been made by
the “loyal” citizens cf this place to raise
their share of the *‘vigorous war’ men to
fill Father Abraham’s call, What is wrong
—why don’t the bold ‘beauty’ who acts as
chairman of the ‘‘loyal’’ Committee, rally
his valiant followers and march to the field
of battle ? as he concluded that a “‘vig-
orous prosecution’ of the war might spoi

it than at present,or does the ‘‘golden’’ com

“Chivalry” will sound his trumpet if the
government will furnish him with a new pair
of suspenders, we know. It is not the evap-
oration of hss “patriotism,” bat the deplc-
rable condition of the elasticity of his
¢“breeches-holders’’ that keeps him so cool
about military matters at present; and
beauty” might use his influence to induce
the “‘gsvernment’’ to expend three shillings
in *‘greenbacks” in getling him a ‘bran

were shocked to see a white man there,
followed by his ;oung son, whom he was
endeavoring to sell at the highest price as a

sold his boy for $450, and pocketed the
