'Chat hoary headed political charlatan and turncoat, Daniel S. Dickinson, takes every occasion to boast of Iris being " a life long Democrat,” anil in hik rage ho vomits forth his characteristic vulj*dr.nbaso of all who re fuse to boHevo ’that 1(6 is a paragon of polit ical virtue) ariS follow iti the wake of his treasonable abandonment.of principle. Wo ■tmco entertained a high'opinion of Dickin son, but we acknowledge ourStdvcs ’grossTy deccired in the man. Failure in securing a nomination for President in 1860 at the hands of the Democratic parly, seems to-have excited in him an intense and bitter hatred, of tho party that had heretofore conferred on him high honors. Because his friends wore unable to elevate him to the Presidency, all tho sympathies of his nature seemed tbhave at once turned to gall and wormwood, and he availed himself of tho first opportunity to abandon them, and abandon tho principles for which lie had during his whole life con tended. Like Beniamin P. Bira.En, he at one hound leaped over tho wall that separa ted constitutional Democracy from Abolition fanaticism, and landed in the centre of tho camp of his old enemy. This traitor to De mocracy is now one of tho most subservient tools of tho Administration, in its work of destroying tho very principles which, for years he, Dickinson, manfully contended for. Whenever Mr. Lincoln wants a legal opin ion to sustain his infraotions of the Consti tution, forth'comes ono from this man Friday, of Eedcral Dospotisin. By a. resort to a de gree of sophistry and legal quibbling that tho merest pettifogger would- despise, lie twists | statutes find Constitutions into the endoree j merit of every conceivable outrage and dam nable usurpation. -What Jeferif.s was to King James, in the court of the bloody assi zes, Dickinson is to'King Lincoln ns a law adviser; and yet the old trdito'r lids' tli(! as surance to boast 6f his Democracy 1 Like the -fox in ihe fable, being shorn o( bis own or naipontal appendage, he is persuading every one else to cut off theirs, and grows angry and insulting because they refuse to reduce ihemsolves to the level of his loathsome pO iticnl degradation. Wo would hat'd hSen ready to believe that men could have been found so destitute of all principle and patriot-' ism as to furnish those in power with legal authority and arguments for robbing the people of their liberties ; history abounds in examples of .the kind ; mean wretches, who would barter their liberties and, sell their copntry for a mess of pottage; but wo, would never have expected to, find such a slave to power in the person of Dickinson- Ho floats • with-thc popular wave, and shouts the loud est of ail, forwar.and desolation—fdrblood and despotism. Dickinson once described very truthfully the treatmentronegade Dem ocrats rcceived-at the hands,of the opposite party. Ho compared, them to the ox that, petted Tor. its fine .proportions, and decorated with;ribbons, was driven forth from the Fair grounds to the slaughter-pen. The Aboli tionists are now using him as a cat's-paw with which to .pull chestnuts from the ashes,, for their own dating. They decorate him with gaily colored ribbons,-and after pocket ing-the premium, will .drive him forth.to the slaughter-pen. .’While dwelling on tl)e per fidy, the degradation and corruption of these legal apologists for tyranny, one naturally calls to mind the times in English history when lawyers were found in abundance ready to uphold, corruption, and worst forms of tyranny practiced by British kings. Would to God that, as.then, a Somers might rise, clad in the legal c’rmine, and so expound the, laws and institutions ot our unhappy country that a maddened people would stay their hands in the work of overthrowing con stitutional liberty'. . SaA Accident.—On Wednesday, the ,18th Nov. Mr. W. A. Pbitciiey, a son of Rev. J. G. Fritchey,'formerly residing in' this place, and well known tu many, of our Citizens, met with an accident w’hich terminated fatally in about four hours after its occurrence. He had been in business in Westminster, Md., fur some time, and started out on tv collecting taking his gun with him’, intending to have a little recreation before his return.— When about twelve miles from W., on'going down a hill, the horse he was driving’ stum bled; and slopping very suddenly, threw Mr. F. and a friend who was with him, out of the huggy; In falling out, his gun was dis charged, the contents entering his side, caus ing his death in about, four hours alter the accident. He was perfectly sensible' up to the time of his death. First disposing of his temporal affairs, ho committed Jiimself into the hands ot a kind Providbnec, and expired in the hope of a blissful immortality. His remains were brought to this place on the Saturday following, and on'Sunclay they .wore borne to the Methodist Church, where ‘an able ami affecting sermon was preached by Rev. J. : Ault, of the German Reformed Church, of Which the deceased was a mem ber. The church was filled with a sympa thising congregation, many of whom were ’ visibly affected; At theolosc of the services', the body was taken to the Trindlo Spring graveyard, and'interred with Masonic cere monies. to which order the dedeased beloncresu Mr. F. was a young man of fine business talents, aud his generous nature and pleasunt manner made him a- general' favoite. In the community where he resided dt the time of his death, ho was universally beloved, and his loss is mourned With genuine' sorrow ; and here, whore'lie had his homo'in'earlier life, his sudden death is sincerely lamented by all who know him. He leaves a wide cir cle of relatives and'friends to mourn his un timely Ibss.

PKOFITABIE INVESTMENTS, Tho Philadelphia North Amei'ican gives sorno excellent advice to those who wish to, invest money. It is Veil for all who,are in t funds t 6 heed, ilia 'counsel:—“ Though mon ey has lieoD temporarily scarce, capital' con tinues abundant; and the recent tumble in tlib stock market has brought capitalists to, a i*ealiaiug li'enso of tho unreliable diameter of many of tho securities dealt in. It isgreatly "to the credit of tho Government that its loans, of all tho securities daily dealt in on tho mar ket, have maintained their integrity of price .betler’than almost anything else.'. Its Five- Twenty year six per cent, loan, the interest, on which is promptly paid in gold, has been subsclibod to, all through the pressure in tire money market, ;at an average of.more than two millions per day. And what is not the least gratifying fact in connection with the daily large subscriptions to this popular loan, scarcely any of it is returned to the market for sale. It is taken for investment, and is held with unfaltering confidence in-its relia bility. And why should it not'lie? It is seen* that tho Government now, after two years of the most gigantic war that the world has ever known, experiences no difficulty in commanding tho necessary means to prose-- cute it, or in paying regularly tho interest in gold as it falls duo. If this can be done while tho war is who oan (in- tioipate any difficulty in readily accomplish ing it when the war shall be ended? What better investment then, for. capital, than tSfi *‘Fivo Twenty" Government loan? But if any doubt, lot him refer to the. statistics fur nished by the census tables of the various na-. tions of the world. The facts which they -present will prove the most satisfactory mode of dispelling the numberless gloomy appre-’ honsiona which are being continually con jured up-by thqse-Who are disposed to exag gerate the extent of the calamity occasioned by our rebellion.-. A 5 reference to the state of most-of the-prosperous nations of the old world dearly disproves sufch a position, and shows that thb liighestconditions of.national advancement have not been materially. af fected by the extended wars in those nations have been immemorially, engaged, and thftt a heavy national indebtedness has not proved dti bnnlitigiUed evil. “For instance, Great Britain, France and the Netherlands ..will undoubtedly bo conce ded to represent the highest prosperity that has been, attained by any of the European, nations. Aiid yet no nations have been called upon to enddre fiercer* or more pror longed wars, domestic and foreign,, than they.- The effect has been, unquestionably, toTncur ah enormous national indebtedness; but nei ther, their wars, nor their indebtedness have, had the effect to’destroy their elasticity, hof to check the progress of their general pros perity. The result would have been differ ent, probably, if these'nations had been, fal ling into decay, instead of being, ns they really were, in a state of deyelqpomeiit; and in this respect their ease rosenVbies oiit 1 ’ own, with eno.mous advantages in our favor.A- Those nations, while undergoing the trials of war, wore oppressed by the evils of an im mense exodus of their people) caused by the density of their population, the impossibility to provide occupation for them, the low. price of labor, and the scarcity of territory. Com-' pared with our own country; they possessed slight room for future developemont; they were settled in every part, and no vast terri tory lay invitingly open to'encourage enter prise and settlement. Tlieir great problem has ever boon what to do with their surplus population, which, in its turn, has sought new fields for ndventure and seif-support id countries like our own, where an illimitable territory waits to be developed, and where incalcuable resources invite industry and en ergy. The encouragement to be derived from tbeso’facts and comparisons of circum stances is very great, and to the mind 6f any dispassionate reasonor la conclusive that the course’ of this great country is onward and upward, and that its credit will live unim paired to the end.” Where are Hie 300,000 More t The Governor has proclamation for tho State’s quota of volu?i(9&p’reoriiits to fill the requisition of the President—the be ginning of December has been reached—but. a month'and a' half more between ua and a fresh Conscription, and yet wo have heard, up to tliis moment, of ho movement by the “ loy al” party to encourage'enlistments—of not a single case of volunteering but on 6, which waarecently recorded by a Lancaster paper,’ How is this? , What are th£ 209,01)0'“ loy al” men who voted for Curtin, and to frahtaln' all the measures of the President', about?- 11 -' Do they not see that the ‘‘life of.lho nation” is in danger?

Ori is it possible that ail their pro fessions of patriotism, all their fierce.cries for “ war to the knife, and the knife to the hilt,” nroteotations of fidelity and “ unquestioning 1 ’ obedience tit Die President’s behests, were false? -We shall he forced' to believe so, unless some movement of the Ex ecutive, or the Lopguers, to raise tlje quota of .the State shall sfion be made apparent.— How disgraceful it is that these blatant brawlers for war, coortion, subjugation, con fiscation and emancipation, do not rush eith er singly or by battallions to the field now that’ their eervises are needed.

Government, the Louisville Journal says:. . "'fliis in cheering intelligence ; and, in Corn mini with’ intelligence from several other points of the South, points directly to tlie plain and urgent duty of President Lincoln in the present juncture. The general fact.is that a portion of the people in rebellion are beginning to manifest a disposition to Jay down ‘l.heif arms, or to wield''them against tlio refit llion itself, and to inquire on • what terms’ they can return to the Union. TII6 importation of this foot can hardly be over ruled. It is a most inspiring fact. It is a gleam of peace struggling through the black gloom of war. Mr. Lincoln's duty in view, of this fact is promptly to -assure these people and all other ; people iu rebellion, that the only terms required of them is submission to the Constitution. lie has do right to offer any other terms; and he has no ijiglit to re fuse these or'tosuffer his resolution in'the case to remain shrouded in uncertainty. A shadow of doubt ought never to. have been permitted to rest or even to fall on this point. Tho enveloping of the point in thick clouds of doubt is the master error of,Mr.' Lincoln’s Administration, . ■ . It is time and high time that these clonus were dispersed by. the interposition of Mr. Lincoln's own hand. lie has tho power to interpose his own hand for the purpose, and ho ought to exercise the power without de lay. By so doing ho will deal the rebellion 1 a staggering if not-a finishing blow; he will powerfully further at once the division olthe South and the union of the North. - Such an opportunity to second the triumphs of arras by* a stroke.of statesmanlike policy has never been rejected by the head of a great nation under like circumstances in any age or clime. Wo.cannot believe that the opportunity will he rejected by President Lincoln. The high est considerations alike of duty and of policy oblige him to embrace the opportunity. - Let him do it if he would eminently promote hie cOuntry ! s good and. his own! It is, in. con nection with the steady and vigorous advance of our armies, tho great duty of the hour.” Tho views of the Boston Tost precisely ac oord, ns’follows-: “ Now would seem to he the time to rise above mere partisan schemes on to a. plane of honor and magnanimity and statesmanship worthy of republican institutions. They rest n public opinion, not on military" power,; lepend on the consent of tho governed, and mt their fern s ; and now would seem to be a time to strengthen the Union element in the Southern States by re-assuring it of a recog nition of protection under the Constitution.

Indeed, has it not become all-im portant to the North, that,the Administration should purge itself of aU connection with the radical vagaries V . -. .. . The Now York Journal of re,* .marking upon the expressions of discontent in the South,, says.that while it may not be well to give them undue importance, they nevertheless constitute a sign—they indicate the existence of a feeling not before mani fested since the commencement of the war. ~ The Journal exclaims : " “Oh I for wisdom at Washington to take advantage of this moment I” Millions of prayers hswo r gono’Up to Heav en that our rulers at Washington might be inspired with w iadom, but we fail to see any evidence that the prayers have been heard.
