Wednesday Morning July 17. HH j
Grcely's Plan.
T he New York Tribune of iho 10th hut.,
in a leader urging o nioro vigorous
war i
policy, has tho following)
"Wo bellfv tlie mimy endured ver.T week
throughout the land bocnueo of ldlenea and
wnnt outweighs tho iiifTcrinj! that would result
Irom two 01 throe Bu.rt bottles. In short, we
Misv tho potriut soldiors re lo-doy nblo nud

iheio otlowcd to try. If they nro nut Me to
ihrath tho traitors in tboir fair, tand-up C(;lit,
r.ur pride rovolts at the trie of slowly starving
them into tuhjoctioo, or whippinB them by vir
tue of money borrowed iu Europe. Wo isoy,
challenge them to meet llio patriot volunteers in
fair tight; if they quail they are ruined j if thoy
fight, and nro beaten, tliey must giveit up; while
if they beat ui we ought to do the nunc. Let
ut have this uiutter decided forthwith."
There U chivalry in thin, It reminds
us of the romnnccs of tho Middle Ages ;
and Grcely's proportion to decide wh i is
right nnd who wrong at to the
ociulruction of the Constitution
proper ;
of the;
United States, would he just about as piU
if factory nnd decisive as were tiio cl.allcti
ges to mortal combat en the plains of Fill
cstino, in deciding- whether the Lord or
Mahoaimot reigneth.
"Let us challenge them to mortal com
bat," says Grooly. ''Let us have a fair
fight. If they whip us, thy understand
the Constitution better thou we do but
if wo whip them then it is clear they are
wrong and we nro right."
Aro the people of the United States
willing tbnt this great controverty between
the North and the Sourh, as to the true
meaning of the Constitution which our
fathers made, touching properly in slaves,
nnd the rights of the States in tho com
mon territory, shall bo decided in tho
way Greely proposes ? Would it not be
infinitely better to turn the question over
to the whole people of tho United States,
in tho manner proposed by Mr. Critten
den nnd others last winter, nnd decide
pe.iceab'y, and civilly, by the ballot-box,
what Mr. Greely, Mr. Lincoln and olhers
propose to settle by tho cartridge-box nnd
bayonet? Grcely's j'lnn would be n blot
on our history, and future generations
would expunge tlio pago recording such
madness and folly. W'c are therefore op
posed to Grcely's proposition, bccauBo it
would really settle nothing, and becauso the
lives of a great many innocent men -men
who nre entirely blameless es to. tho enuso
of this trouble- would bo sacrificed.
But we submit an amendment to Grec
ly's plan, which wo think is freo from any
objection, and, which we dtiro sny will
meet the approbation of at leaft eight
tenths pf the community, nude and fcuide,
old and young, North and South. It is,
that a given number, no matter whether
it bo one hundred, ton hundred, or ten
thousand of thoso who opposed the Ci it-
tendon plan of adjustment Inst whiter--'
bo selected from the North, nnd an equal
.lumber who likewise opposed that mens"
lire in thq, South, be selected; and t'.at
these two pnrties be compelled to decide,
by fighting, the light and the wrong of
this mat ter. The result cr.nnot fail to be
beneficial, for if they would even surras
that most ncmorablo Initio nt Kilkenny,
(ho world would bo tho better o(F. A
host of men "spoiling for a fiht," but who
have no fight in then when a good chance
M ofi'ered, would be out of the road.
What a blessing this A-otild bo.
If Greely declines this amendment we
shall make him another, which cnnnol
fiil to meet his, approbation.
Sa?To be a Democrat now, i s to be a
Secessionist llebel TrnUor according

Congress is new required to sanction is!

W'e hope to cure t liin j

"lame snake" that bit him. If he wants1
unv

where.
If we felt at all iigriovcd by this asrault,
the fact that it occurred at a Celebration
of u Cltristiiin Sabbath School, and at which
not only tho Clear field JlcpMlean, but the
Christian Heligion, were alike denounced,
would be a sufficient bilm. Tho commit
tee, however, had tho prudence to with
hold from publication o'l the principal
toasts in fiivorof Tom 7'k nrand hi system
ol Injidclilil.
As to Iho Author of the toast, our con
tempt for him is too deep for utterance
The man that would thus palm his lies and
slanders upon a bit ol a boy shield Lim
self, as it were, behind that boy is too
mean pud cowardly to notice, ile ought
to wear the skin of a sheep a llaek one
at that.
S3)r We are accused of publishing 0
"Secession pnpcr,"a "sedieious sheet," as
a certain gentleman was pleasctl to term
it; and that no other community North
of Mason d'- Dixon's lino would permit
such sentiment to be made public, io.
To all these charges it is a sufficient ro
ply to say that our remarks are made to a
community, which wo think possess n".ore
than an ordin iry degreo of intelligence;
and if our arguments and reasoning are
false and unlennblo they can do no harm;
whereaF, if they aro sound, truthful and
patriotic, the ouieker they nro iriven to
the public tho better.
lititour object was to show our readers
that thoso charges, like most others now
made against Democrats ami Democratic
papers, ore false ; and that in the work of
exposing tlie wrongs of the present Ad
mii.'iatratiD 11, thcro ore other pnpeis that
speak out qtiito as boldly n wo do, and
hence that there are other communities
quite as rotten as this is :

The Portland Argus says of tho Presi
dent's message:
"It proposes nothing but the bayonet n
a healing for our troubles. This is its worst
characteristic. It is what we feared, ray,,
what we expected, after the events which
have transpired since the 4th of March"
Tho Argus adds:
''The only hope of tho country now is
with tho people, and they should givo
'.heir beet intelligence to the subject."
The Dover Gazette, New Hampshire,
says :
"Peace is our motto, and tho stand
which we lake, meets, as we have ample
assurance, tho hearty response, not only
of the Democrats in ibis community, but
nlso of the conservative Kcpublic ins. Wo
would go for war it we could bo satisfied!
that it would bo the best course to pave'
tho Union. Hut civil war anil Union look
to us like the inrst horrid antagonism

President has caused lliis amendment to
be violated. Telegraphic dispatches, the !
private property of the ollices, have been i
seized, as 1 know by rev tint ioiis which
have been made in relation to Mr. liar-'

Nor has the Preidonta right to regulate'

their still loi tning a part of the Union.
