iiielted to the est degree,' declare in the
next breath that the.-iresont disastrous
era is the natural couscquence , cf a vital
mistake made by our fathers incejecting
a certain' plank from our national-plat
form, namely—negro equality. Their
declared purpose now is to remodel the
--- Ebitslibibon, antt—mmecr-the--grare
fault of our ancestors; bX inserting the
plank which they, in their wisdom, re
jected. .
They thus unwittingly exam° the
"Southern rebels" whom they !hate so
bitterly, and tell the world that those
"traitors" are, in common with them
selves, the victim of that short-sighted
policy of the ,frannertOof our
_Constitu
tion. If this theory of 'theirs ho true,
„.if the lack of a plank in the Constatu
.tion recognizing the equality of•the white
and black races is the cause of our pre
sent troubles, then 'the whole , blame of
this war, with-. 611 its horrors and unpar
alelled waste oehuman life, rests upon
those whom we have been taught to
reverence as the framers of ,the greatest
• government ever sewed by man.
If 'the civil war now raging amongst
tin is .the effect -cf this mistake of our
fathers, then is 4the.-South no more to
blame than ourselves, and are equally the
victims in the strife which has filled the
world with horror. But -our -ancestors
are in 'no way to blame for this result.
The Government erected by them-might
have defied the changes of ages, and
Lied until the end of time. Their for
liming wisdom failed nut to detect the
danger which would threaterxthe fabric
they erected from the relations of the
white and black races. But in eommon
with all other things which they found
existing in the country, they wisely re
gulated the laws concerning white and
black men, so that the interest of one
became the interest of all. Any attempt
on the part of their descendants to
change thg order which they established
destroys the harmony of the whole ; we
cannot remove one column from the
• structure withopt bringing down the
wholelabrili in Fuins - , we cannot inflict
an injury on any portion of oar people
without its being felt by all. This was
the intention of those who met to Ann
"more perfect union," and promote the
"general welfare." Their work was
perforMed well. So completely did they
blend the varied interests of the country'
and so wisely frame each portion of ;the
Government, that an attempt• by the
disunioniats of the Iserth to wrest t ope
of them away and put another
place has caused the vest structure to
batter as in an earthquake, and will cei
tairily ranee the whole to a mass of mis
shapen ruins if the attempt is persisted
The cowardly assassin seeks to escape
punishment by eriminnting some one
else. The Abolitionists would , charge
- the whole crime of which they are,guilty
upon the Southern people ; but the
world judges differently. And since they
emmnot fasteeit upon Ole lining, they
make their charge against We — dead.
They moose those breve, true men, whom
all mankind should Alms, with the
crime ; for to blunder in emoting a new
fbrm of government, is the worst of
' crimes. Can we woodtr that those who
seek to rob .the sainted dead of their
welltkned laurels should also defame the
living? - Can we wonder that-those-who
teach thit our Constitution is i sln
anima& nature, and thht its framers were
guilty of one or the highest crimes,
should, denounce those who now seek to
progirastbe One and defend the fame of

Befbre the electio - it was rank, un

Now "loyalty" sees a chance of strength
ing itself by making pretentiins in 'that
way, and hopes-to prolohgAhe war by
leaving the impression that it offdrs 'the
olive branch. Time' will tell - whether
the people of the North will bite at the
bare book thus held out to them.
Our people ,need not be surprised if
every 'loyalist" in the land should sud—

promise ; if every preacher that has
heretofore howled war should at once
become a devoted disciple of the doctrine
of peace ; if every paper that has hoettid

'Favor of compromising "with rebels in
arm's." It is but part of the programme
and will bo played in full. They will
cry peace, talk peace wish the hope of
making the people believe that they
are in favor of peace; When that part
is finished they will offer peace to the
they know can not and dare net be tie
entail. Then they will turn round and
point to.their efforts to coin promise, and
declare that the people of the South
will accept no •propositions but such
they would dictate themselves. In this
manner they expect to raise the war
fever as they did when Sumter was fired
upon; and with the cry that the South
reuses to compromise, fill up the army
with those who are now bitterly opposed
to the war, and replenish the pockets of
the Loyal Leaguers from the purses of
the honest masses who would thusbe be
guiled into an enthusiastic support of
their bloody policy.
Let the people beware. It is not the
intention of Abraham Lincoln or his
party to settle the difficulties that now
environs us, as long as they can find men
to butcher, or money to steal. They
hare no such idea. Out of the harvest
of blood the masses are reaping, Aboli
tionism is drawing existence and becom
ing strong. It will continue it if possible,
until every part of our country is deso
late and destroyed, and until the laboring
classes are bound with a yoke that can
never be:thrown off, A short time will
tell whether the people of the North
will bite at the bare hook that Aboli
tionism now holds out to • them in the
hape of efforts to bring about peace.
.I,,lneoln a Minority President.
CleneTaThitler, in his famous speech
delivered recently in New York, claims
that through Mr. Lincoln by virtue of his
first election was a minority president,
he has now been reelected by a clear Te
-1 jority of American citizona—so that he
is, misl•hereafter will be a majority pres
-,
klehe;
It is, however, an undoubted fact that
twenty-five thousand more votes for
McClellan, properly distributed, would
have defeated Lincoln. If he is a ma
jority president, it is only by excluding
the Southern State from all participa
tion in the election. — TO make it appear
that Mr. Lincoln is,a majority president
the Abolitionists have clearly to recog
nise the independence of the Southern
States. If these Status are in the Union,
and their citizens are citizens of the
United States, Mr. Lincoln. falls im
measurably short of being elected by a
clear majority of the whole nation.
Let the Repnblieaus choose their po
sition. Either the BautlFrzi States are
in the Union or they are out of it. If
they are out of the Union they are clearly
independent, and we are waging a cruel
and uncalled for war upon a foreign mt.
tion. If they are its the Union, •tfialt
Mr. Lincoln is still a minority firesickntl.

,Being here is a great relief, as well as a
great pleasure, and we take comfort from
the fact that we have with us all the "wise
men of the east," who have brought with
them all the articles and Sections orthe
Constitution, and the "fond memories" of a
once happy Union, which, in deep sorrow,
we parted from, we fear, for ever, as those
into whose hands we left its keeping enter
tain no kindly feeling for it, as the sequel
will show. But in order to explain this;
let me give you an account of our departure,
and the incidents of the voyage, &c.
On the. morning of the OW inst. we re
ceived a despatch from Washington signed
A. •Lirooln, notifying the "copperhead,"
al a Democratic dole lotion of Ohio that
his honor William li. Seward had "touched
a bell on his right bind s ' anti ordered that

nreut vessels to convey us thither at the
contractor's expense, who were able to fur
nish enough of Salmon Chase's greenbacks
to foot the bill ; and that hie " Impudence"
General Stanton would furnish enough of
soldiers to protten us from the "rebel gueril
las on the Canada shore." , With these as
siirsneeii of dkiof presto , ' friendship on the
pttrt„uf the "old Government," we prepared
to Onibark from the " - Boston barber" on the
Morning of the 10th, where we arrived MI
the evening previous, hav'ing taken a rapid
railroad trip through old Pennsylvania and
New York. As we landed on the whyfi
the "Massachusetts delegation," headed by
the Honorable Robert C. Winthrop, Caleb
Cushing, and the son of Daniel Webster
Game up and presented their, compliments.
Young Webster drew from his pocket a
speech of his father, delivered March 01h,
1850, from which he read inn calm but se
rious tone the following paragraph :
"If those infernal fanatics and abolition
' ists ever get into power they will override
the Constitution, set the Supreme Court at
defiance, change - and make laws to sult
themselves, arrest and imprison those w
may differ with them in opinion, and finally
bankrupt the country, and deluge it with
blood." The old lan Winthrop and the
whole Massachusetts delegation stood un
covered during the ;adding of that solemn
prophecy now so sadly fulfilled. Next
came th# delegation of New Hampshire,
headed by e3-President Pierce, who held
the old time-wink, Dettiooratio • banner of
1862, upon which were inscribed his noble
words, "We know no Bost, no West, no
North, no South, but all as a Union under
the common Constitution." Then came the
New York delegation, headed by Governor
' Seymour, ex-President Filmore, and Judge
Nelson. They bore to the breeze a banner
with these prophetic words—supposed to be
Filmore'r :—"1 believe that the election of
McClellan to be the last hope of saving this
Union," And then came the Pennsylvania
delegation, under the head of ex-President
Buchanan, Gov. Bigler, and Judge Reed,
upon whose! banner were emblazoned the
immortal words of their cLief, "We labor
poly for one country, one Constitution, and
one destiny." Lastly came the various
Eastern and Western delegations, under the !
lead of Thomas Seymour, Judge Abbot,
Senators Pugh and Richardson, Governors
Bigler and Weller, of California., and Gene
ral Lane, of Oregon, carrying banners upon
which were described numberless undying
.mottoes, the most prominent of which wore
the words of Douglas, upon „the 'banner of
Senator RiChardson, to 'wit :—"Civil war
means final and irrevOkable dissolution.,"?
As these delegationsembarked, the Union'
band on board the steamer "George Wash

greater and deeper solemnity than ever be
fore equalled, whilst the "commodore of

by the Commodore that the Constitution .
was not all on board. On aocedffV• of its

Wade bung his bead, but was compelled to

the words "Wade and Davis protest"—on
the other, "A tyrant and usurper I voted

As the given time elapsed, our squadron
moved off, bidding a finaljarewell to all we
once loved so dearly, and in our inmost
souls we thanked God that we would be no
longer responsible for the loss of the 'Union,
for like Webster we prayed to God .!That in
our day, at least, the sun might, not set
upon a land rent with civil feuds, or
drenched, it may be, in fraterni.blaill.
Webster's prayer was answered in his Lillie,
but the wickedness of the 'loyal" provedte,l

further incident we arrived safely on the

General Butler's New York speech in favor

our absence is now felt by the General

Unitimltitatis Senttor.
.
The Indiana tiortespendent of the St.
/Ids Wasatch Peef, under dateef October
19th, glees the foillbwing important rade
in reference to the new Legislature of that
State:
" Theiertainty that thi Democratic party
has obliiined a majorityln.both houses of
the Legislature has thrown a cloud over the
'jqy of Ate Union party, for it. is now duce
that the Dentoorata will have a majority of
flididtedin the Senate mid team four to six
tiatedi Itt the"Hottse. 'Tile Governor will
thus be,lfotisd kfind and foot, and must
prepare 'gm a vaiy 'bitter war with the
Legislature- And this, time the ne_melmatio_
leaders In the Legislature will curb their
opposition ao much the, less, as they assert
firmly tgat the Union party has piped its
victory in Indiana only by the most fraudu
lqnt means. The originator of the Military
Bond bill, B. W. Manna, of Terre Haute—
of all the members of the. last Legislature
most 'adieu's to the Union party—figs been
rtreleoted with eight hundred majority.—
Vawter, another extreme opponent of Mor
an, is elected by a majority of two. Jack
ard, the leaflet of the Tkmocratit in the last
House of Repreisentatives, will also have 6
seat in the new ono. Of course all of these
men will oppose Morton bitterly, and the
meeting of the' next Legislature is thus
looked for with anxicus and feverish • sus
pence. The election, of a United States
Senator will produce _little difficulty, and
Turpie or McDonald, the beaten candidates
fur Govornor, ciU rooei y,o this post. • Abe
chancel and in favor df the first, as the
Democrats gre somewhat dissatisfied with
McDonald because he fell considerably
behitid the rest of the ticket. But this
would have happened to any other one.—
The chief difficulty will arise on the budget
question. Morton will, of course, ask for
the indorsement of his extraordinary loans
to pay the interest of the State •debt and
current Government expenoes, and if we
may judge from the Pemoeratie speeches
during the campaign, the Legislature will
refumoto sanction tiorton's action.
- Rome of the abolition papers coati out
with the fedlish'itlea, that they will forget
and forgive to Democrats all their mild ac
-1 lions, if they now come out and openly sup
-1 pori_thenthuindatrationiaks war measures.
This is indeed cool. To ask Democrats to
1 supptfrt an administration, which t,ey have
conscientiously opposed on accou t rit of Its
usurpation of power, of the disregard of the
Constitution and - the laws. and to vrliont
' they attribute the cause of the present war,
the dissolution of the Union and the tlestruo
lion of our cOnntry. The democratio party
will standhenceforth as heretofore by the
time honored principles of our fathers, by
S'rilllt - Crnnitltutton and b rt h. hates oD ihr
laud They will not countedance the oblit
eration ofState rights, they will not lend a
helping hand to blucher off white men for
the freeing' of the negro, nor do they wish
to confiscate Southern property and eater s
minate Southern people. They will opic
pose Abraham Lincoln in all 1117t0t18iii ution
al matters, irrespective of forgetting or
forgiving.
But why do not these abolitionists say
that' the President will come, out in favor
ofthe Union and the Constitution, of civil
and religions liberty, of the freedom or.
speechand of the press, &o, and if ad."
tiered to, we assure them that 'the Demo
maim-party will co-operate with them.
Our principles are as enduring as the
eternal laws of martrre, and. though they
may for a while be 'crashed beneath the
iron heel of despotism, there is a vitality
in them that will cause them to rise again.
They may be derided,.but obliterated they

Harrietsms.—From the day that Adam
lost Paradise by eating of the forbidden
fruit mankind has constantly been in quest
of happiness. Up to within a very brief
period but ono perfectly happy man is said
to have been found, aiid be was destitute of
a shirt. Unnumbered centuries have been
hidden in the misty past without any peo
ple being brought to a state of unbounded
earthly happiness, and it has been reserved
for the present age to solve the problem and
produce a happy people.
We refer, of course to the American Nig
ger as the happy man who has first peen de
veloped, after sc many centuries of tontinuo
us effort, Ile is to-day the embodiment of all
that philosphere, poets and christians have
ever sought 14, dreamed of, created in im
agination, but never found. Upon the very
!stigma Mule of time has bebeen found and we
are the settings of this ebon jewel.
Happy Nigger ! Twenty-two millions of
people to-day are clutching fiercely at each
other's throats ; are locked in a deadly
struggle ; and all for his benefit. The broad
halls of ho national Congress are an arena
which gladiators struggle in prolonged
mental combat, and all for the glorification
of the Nigger. Two billions and a half of
the'nations wealth has been spent already.
and billions more will Le exhausted until
our peopld will be entirely imppverished and
the possession of posterity mtirtgaged for a
dozen centuries, all for the happiness of the
.Nigger. Evert hpusehold has given its
first-born, and stands - ready ite i Nnitribute
its second, and 14 third, for the further ele
vation of the Nigger. A nation is impover
ishing itself ; our delicate women are rapid
ly, one by one, passing from the lighl of
enjoyment into darkness and sorrow and
mourning, and all to aid in the further apo
theosis of the Happy Man of this century.
Happy Nigger I For him the polished
eloquence of Everett grows brighter and
keener; for him the scholarly periods of
Sumner becomaresenant with tousle• and
more weighty with olasio theUght ; for him
the poet Taylor borrows fresh fire from the
Parnassian altar; and fdr him a majority o
the genius of the land devotes its most in
spired production&
Byourrs
Happy, thrice happy Nigger! Thera is
for him no taxation, no debt, no moprning.
For hinxßastilas do not yawn ;Ito detective
dogs his steps ;no white oak prison opens
its doors ; no bayonets patrol the streets.—
Happy Nigger in having such a people,, and
honored people to whom is intrusted the
glorious task of sustaining such a hap
pluess!..—Hohnel County Farmer.

Democracy will yet be vindicated by the•
sober second thought of a suffering end

it is the Detnocritio party that will be re
quired to save from utter ruin whatever is
to be saved of personal or national value.
That old 'forty has ever proved true to its
mission, and it must and will not now
deppair of the Republic. .Its organisation
must be preserved, its camp fires must be
kept bprning, its sentinels must stand
watchful at their posts, Ittnd its,gallant ar
