a different idea of the promptings that
gave birth. to the scheme. As it is, we
see a very good move -to sell a

rocks, briars and mullein stalks to the
gullible ones of our State, at an emir'

years before, or the outrageous frauds
perpetrated upon tie people Of Pennsyl

his taco in IDrrrisburg and. was saved

• Death of Major J. Harvey Larrimer.
The sad news has just reached this
place of the death of this distinguished
officer and gallant, gentlemen,.who was
killed, on the 14th inst.., in a skirmish at
Brentsville. Major Larrimor was for
a number of years a citizen of this °eau
ty, frOm whence he removed-to Clearfield
and became oonuected• kith the Demo
cratic organ at that place in the capacity
of editor. But death has thrown a gloom
over this entire community. Time and
space forbid us to say more at present.

take vengcnce for the slight appreCiation
accorded to bin ability arid - devotion,by go

that the greater number of political experts
build their schemes for captivating the peo

or right or sense of justice, but upon some
plan for the skillfull manipultion ofprejtt
d ices which titbynre—very often erroneously
—supposed to entertain.
gentleman vi he aspires to he rr party
leader, and at the same time aspires t j e office
as a reward for his services in that behalf,is
not always the safest personie be intrusted
a lilt the leadership. In the pursuit of the
private interest, the mind is ap,t to be dis
turbed and the judgulent deflected. It is
tinily, when the contintai and the individual
interest are vested in the same person, for
them to become entangled and intermixed's°
alai their separation is impossible. And
results of several jeers of rather attentive
observation have bro t us to the belief that
publicist part ies, in a %lk majority of instan
ces, ascend to power in spite of the misman
agement of office-seeking leaders, end de
scend trout power as the result, or their mis
condnct and unfnitliftillness.
The people—the-official masses of which
the staple of political reifies is composed—
are not, by half, ea great fools as they who
tot, often aspire to lead them imagine. It is
a mistake to suppose—as is a great many
times supposed--that political truth and
naked fact pro meat too strong ffir their
digestion ; and that 1 he reality town be large
ly ditulted - with romance in order to render
it pahttalgeto them, We sincerely believe
that the best way tc deal with the people,
in order to secure their support to a just,
cause, it to place before them the true isuc,
in a distinct manner. We believe ruttier
more, that good cattlio* have failed more
frequently through the cowardice and double
dealing of professed politicians--under the
pr.esamplion that the people could only be
made to do right by humbuging them and
playing - upon their prejudioes—than from all
other causes put together.
We have said before that the only issue
before the.people at this time is the issue of
peace or war ; and we have since seen no
reason to revievr thei opinion. The active
politicians of the Democratic party, with
great unanimity, admit these to be true; brit
here their agreement terminates.. Some of
them are willing togy to the people upon
this issue ; others ardeafraid—afraid to trust
the people with it--afraid to_commit them
solves. They adinit that the nointry needs
peace, and that they want it; buithey want
to get it by indirection—to make 'sombody
responsible for it besides themselves. We
must sleek a War . Deumerat—a thrikg about
as probable tub that the candidate will he
struck by lightning—and then the whole
War party, being out Of power, will turn
heel,, over head, and go for pestle. The
Itealocratio will become the lair party
pledged to vigorous prose4ition.saecording
to the usages of eivilizeffi-and Christian
peoples% and then...--the war will come to an
end: In the name of the Prophet Figs ! 1
When-there are disagreements upon points
of policy, it is an excellent way to refer to
principles. Let the doctors of the Demoorttt
ie party inquire of the funithiewm ! : tals. What
is the organtio fact of our National lloverst
mentl It is that the GtoTernment wps fouu
ded upon consent. In a government foun- ,
ded upon oonseat, there is-no place for °e'er- I

againstwar.' Have the politicians of

wits contemptuous silence. It 'follows,
therefOno s that if -there Is any suffering ,
arming disgbled soldiers now in.Nchmond,
it is due, not to the rebetgoverament,Whith
has done, in view of its ris . nt means, what it
could to' make them' comfortable, but to
President Lincoln and -Secretary, Stanton,
who, when they , • had ;the chases- to
send surgeons and stores declined to SC , en
or even to consider the Confederate govern
ment. - „, .
It is clear from the whole conduct of the
administration that it does not wish any ex
change of prisoners, and it has so conducted,
matters as to Convey to the cpuntryd the hh
preeeion.that• the rebels were ilf-treating
their pilsoners,whereas the parties really to
blame have been themselves. The state
ments of Mr. Fulton, who is an ardent sup
porter of the administration, are of a char
acter which should command the prompt
attention of Congress. If anything is to be
done for our prisoners, it meet be in spite
of the efforts of the adednistintion to own
pel them to lringuish in rebel dungeons.—
'West Chester lifer:onion -
—The Cineinnati - Nniiiirer well says
.that the only political question how borer,
the people of Unitet[StaTes ie the queS
lion of peace or war, and therefore ,argues
that any attempt to Make this question a
- subordinate one in the next Prestileatial
election, will bo ruinous Ao the Democracy.
Such a policy will not only evince a lack of
courage, but a sad want of sagacity in the
leaders of the Democratic party. who will
probably have control of the Nominating
Convention. Leaciers generally controls_
Conventions, and they_ often do iktlenee
lar.ittlith._:AV.la to .be hoed that
war dodge has ien so : oroug y tme ,
and has so disgracefully failed, that these
leaders will be wise enofigh not_ to encum
ber-oos next Prosidealdial campaign with it.
The only hope of democratic success is in
ar' square, open, 1. ef the truth.
o war thunder is fairly the property of
Icolitioriist, and any attempt of the
Dernqersts to steal it, will onty end—as all
things ought td with a thief—in defeat and
disgrace. The war is for subjugation, and
for nothing else, excelit what plunder may
be realized by It. It is not only a violation
of the cardinal principles of the American
system ofqovernment, but it is conducted
on 'a plan that aqually . violates the laws -of
eivilizstion and religion. The man
,who
supports such a war does , more than to
assist in destroying the grand prirleiple of
Dernoeracy—her alTiti himself at once with
despotism and barbailsm.
To; EXIrAUBTION OF SRO SOCTII.—We
now solemnly Warn the country, to put no
faith in the theory of the downfall of the re
bellion through the process of exhaustion:
with all the signs of panic and confusion
which reachan front-the South. 'we believe
that when the spring opens it. will find the
three greet Southern armies—Lea's, Long
street's and Johnson's=larger, as well fed
and well supplied, and animated with more ..
desptliate resolution than ever before. The
outcries we 'here at the South are from the
weallteeiv..and more influential clam of
Southerners, who are willing enough that
the war should go on, but who have no mom
11C11 for fighting in the .ranks as common
soldiers. The newspapers editors who, op
pose this wholesale conscription are in the
sonic bout. Writing for/be rebellion is all
right, but fighting for it Isnot In their line.
Then there is a disomicerted party:in North
Carolina who talk very loud against the Con
federate Government, but who take their
opposition out iu talking.—N. ‘ Y World.

There have been, during the past month,
various mysterious, hints in the Abolition
papers, that somtkin was soon to come off
in Butler's Depart*, t, which was to as
tound the whole dpdt try, and make "the
rebels howl." Well, the terible affair has
transpired. The hero of" Big Bethel" has
'fairly Mired lainself. Re took some three
regiments of, hegroetr, and 'some cavalry,
went within ten utiles of Richmond, and
then hurried bit& to his hole without tiring
a shot. Strange to say, it is not stated that
he robbed a single smoke-house of its bacon,
and henCe he does not announce . "a Union
victory."
