rarties, ii not especially so to the D.moc
racy, because the principles of Democracy
were, to no considerable degree, presented
among the issues or the campaign. The
party which took the field against Mr.
Lincoln professed to be an. anti-Lincoln
party. This was its speciality. As it went
into the campaign it distinctly, almost of
fensively ignored, all platforms of de
nned principles ; professing that the
great tbing first to be done was to get Mr,
Lincoln out of power, and to establish
principles afterwards. The platform made
it Chicago, which itself fell far short of
being up to the high standard of Demo
cratio principles, was, nevertheless, too
itropg for the nominee, who preferred, as
it was said, to " make hit own platform ; V
and the campaign was really conducted
en his platform, in a manner that practi
cally eet aside the action of the Chicago
Convention. So that the party which has
been so badly defeated was only an anti
Lincoln, or a McClellan, party. Democracy
iras not really in the field at all ; and its
principles hare not been passed upon in
the late election. While a great majority
of Democrats, from necessity, or from a
sense of duty, went with this no-pletform
party, there were many thousands who
did not go to the polls at all, because they
couia not, wunout a violation of con
science, rote for a policy which rested up
on tbe ruins of Democratio principles. It
ii to be taken for granted that every in
telligent Democrat knows that the great
'fundamental principles of Democracy have
been practically igoored by the party
bearing its came during the progress of
this unnatural war, It will net be deni
ed that the organization has lent itself
largely to the blood and des polio policy
of the party in power. It has aided in
supplying the Abolition party to carry on
its anti-Democratic' and revolutionizing
war. It is not worth while to stop to ar
gue with those who, at this latedoy, deny
Hist the war is revolutionary in its char
acter, and entirely subversive, not only of
the theory of Demooracy, but of the grand
voluntary principle of self-government es
tablished by our fathers. The man who
does cot know this, or who does not keen
ly feel the force of the mortifying fact,
could never have been d Democrat. To
such no appeal is made. . We mean to ad
dress only true Democrats. We call only
upon those who are profoundly attached
to the ancient doctrines of the parly
who wish, not only the Union restored up
on its original voluntary basis, but who,
above all, desire the preservation of con
stitutional liberty and law. To such,
stone, is this address directed. To you,
men of principle, patriots, friends of the
kindof government that our fathers made,
we appeal to know whether it is not uow
time to re-affirm those grand principles,
ind to stand by them in this dreadful
hour of . their trial f The priceless boon
of liberty, of local independence and self
government, which we inborhed from our
fathers, was given to us in trust for future
fenerations of our childreu. Shall we
permit the sacred inheritance to be squan
dered and lost in our day ? This liberty,
this sublime principle of self-government,
was established here before the Union was
formed. The Union was entered into by
the States for the sole purpose of preserv
ing the independence and sovereignty of
the Slates from whatever power might as
nil them. Shall the honored name of
'Democracy be longer used in the business
of assisting a revolutionary administration
in nuking a war upon sovereign, indepen
dent and co-equal sister States, and in
rubverting and onlarging the carefully re
If ictod basis on which the Federal Gov
ernment was formed f To answer these
questions in the affirmative l, to give up
AlUuo grand results achieved by our War
of Independence, is to abandon the splen
did government which grew out of the
ttrolutiosary struggle' against European
despotism. What Democrat will do this 7
What Democrat will be led another inch
in the support of this Abolition war ? The
tnan who calls it a "war for the Unton" is
a. lunatio or an imposler. There can be
to war for the Union. War is necessari
ly rfiiumon. Teace alone ia the last hope
of the Union. a it is the last refuge of
liberty. Tbe idea of luting the Union by
overthrowing tbe foundations on whioh It
u built is too absurd to be entertained
7 any human being. No Democrat, cer
'inly, can hold auch an idea. Tbe prin
ces held by the Democratio patty from
very beginning of the Republic, fcra
bithfully etnbo4ied la the Kenlway and
1836.

" " r"uou"c mocracr, ana to repudl-
" ui iiaauiugion, jeuerson,
Madison, and al! the patriotic founders or
the Constitution. From 1798 to 1800 the
Democratic party, with undeviating fidel
ity, stood upon the platform of these
principles. On this platform it won all
its proud triumphs, and conducted the
Republic through more than half a cenlu-
ry ov prosperity and honor. By forsaking
mese principles, it has become the ally
of a stupendous Abolition revolution, and
assisted in plunging the Republic into the
guir or civil stnre, ir not of irreparable
disunion.
Is it not evident that there is no hope
ror democracy, or for our country, but in
the immediate return of the Democratic
party to an honest and firm support of its
ancient patriotic principles! There is no
doubt Tibet the honest masses of the
party have, in their hearts been right all
the time. They have abhorred this war.
They have known that it was without
foundation either in justice or the Consti
tutional compact. Why should not these
patriotic masses move, al once, to express
their sentiments, and lay down their
course of action for tbe future? Why
longer abandon their principles and their
party to a policy which has brought only
defeat and disgrace upon us f lias not
the time arrived when some definite prin
ciples should be adopted? We hear a
great deal of incoherent declamation from
stump orators and mere party organs
about the " time-honored principles of the
Democracy." But such vague exclama-l

people for their adoption, and sufficient
reasons given war they should be adopt
ed. As has been already slated, Mr, Jef
ferson's resolutions of 17'JS, defining the
rights of the States, and the decisions of
Judge Taney, affirming white citizenship,
have been the principles upon which this
government was administered for seventy
years. These principles have been repu
diated by the present administration. A
majority in the North apparently endorse
this repudiation, and if this be the delib
erate opinion of our people, then all hope
of Union is at an end. But on the con
trary, the vory moment tho northern peo
ple accept these principles as the basis of
our federative system, that moment all
causes of conflict cease, and union and
fraternity are 'restored to our torn and
bleeding country. There is no other way
given under Heaven by which the Union
can be restored. No party, unless based
upon these principles, is competent to
save our country, hence there is no use
for a " Democratio party " unless it stands
firmly upon those cardinal doctrines
those ancient land-marks of the Democ
... .. . .
racy, roe thing to be aotermineu, mere-
fore, first of all is. can a party be formed in
the North upon this hatis, In other words,
can we re-organize the Democratio party
and bring it back to its old principles ? It
is believed that this can bo done. The
masses are right, and always hare been.
It is politicians without ideas who have
ruined us. Men whose comprehension
was'never sufficiently strong to grasp the
philosophy of our politics, have Sent the
country, with their expediency quackery,
reeling into an abyss of blood. Men
whose power of intellect was just about
capable of comprehending ward - politics,
have assumed to understand the ideas
which influenco men and shape human
destiny. Hence Democracy has been re
duced to a string of unmeaning generali
ties, until it has become a laughing stock
among men of intellect and genius. What
we need is to lift it from that Slough or j philanthropists will simper over it, the
Despond to rehabitate it in the cast offijingg w;n complacently read it, and ad
vestments of its ancient faith to in vigor- mire the energy of Capt. Fisk; and the
ate its prostrate body with a new impulse
to breathe into its nostrils the breath of
life.
For this purpose we must hold aloft the
ideas and principles wbich save our coun
try. We must find ont how many there
are among us willing to adopt them, and
those will form the Democratic party, and
no Others, lei every iun, mereroir,

All great movements must spring from

and in towns, A few men of the true

Those fix tho impress upon the school

BEBEIVHW OF LINCOLN'S ELEC
TI0N. From the Richmond Sentiacl, Nov. 12.
There is one view In which the re-election
of Lincoln produces feelings of sad
ness and regret. It is the official' declar
ation of a great people that they will not
only have war against us,' but war in its
most barbarous and malignant form; that
not only will they exert their strength
against us fo 'ur ruin, but they will prac
tice those cruelties which produce indi
vidual misery, though adding nothing to
military efficiency ; that Ibey will have
war without those amenities which civili
zation enjoins and the sanction of theChrib
tian world has consecrated ; lhat in short
they will have such a war asLincoln wages,
although inefficient, sooner than they will
have a more vigorous and effective war,
such as the honor of a thorouyhbied ' sol
dier and the rules of civilized war would
prescribe to McClellan.
We say it is sad that the evil design en
tertained against us should be marked by
such deliberate depravity iu the attempt
ed execution. But perhaps this also is
for our good. It deepens and widens the
gulf between us, and renders our success
more certain by rendering fuilure more
dreadful and Intolerable. Every charred
homestead is a fresh warning to our
people that they must never be conquer
ed, but must rather fight forever. The
sun, in the fable, by its gontlo influence
soon induced the traveler to part with his
cloak; while he answered to lhe rude de
mands of the piercing wind by wiapping
it tbe more closely about him. These,
perhaps, might stand for McClellan and
Lincoln, with their different rules of hon
or and modes of warfare. Let us prefer
the violence which warns us of our ene
my and rouses us to meet bim, to the se
ductions which might betray us to our
ruin.
Tbe result of the Presidential election is
a declaration of four years more of such war
as Lincoln wages, Our enemies thus ex
hibit their diabolical spirit, and the reso
lu lion which now controls them. It by
no means follows iCnl they will be able to
maintain the war for four years.or for one.
King George and'his Parliament declared,
inthecloso of 1781, that they would
prosecute the war against tho colonies
witn renewed vigor atd a still stronger
resolve ; but bofore tho winter was over
tho people constrained them to awent to
peace. So it may be with our enemies.
Their present ferocity has been fed on
raise reports of victoty and fulse assuranc
es of speedy success. Such arts may carry
election, but cannot sustaiu a people un
der tho trials and disappintments of weary
campaigns.
It is our business, however, to accept
the enomy's defianco as it comes. Sew
ard has told the people of Auburn that
the news of Lincoln's electiou will strike
us with dismay. How little he knows us,
evenl That proclamation of feVocious
hate and determined war will be met with
a haughtier courage and a loftier resolu
tion 1 By tbe blessing of God, Lincoln
shall fine a wide difference bolween his
purpose and its accomplishments. He
may make war, but be cannot command
submission ; and, if it js his resolve that
his people shall employ their energies in
thedesstruclion of our people, he shall
find that we are .not unresisting victims,
and that we can give blows as well as r e -
ceive tbom.
Let our people now learn 1c look upon
and accept war as our business for an in-
definite period. Lot our enercies, cur
calculations, our thoughts, all lako
lhat direction. Lot us not trouble our
selves with questions of peace; for tho
election is not with us, and our enemies
breathe only war. Let us prepare to give
ihem war vigorous and sustained war.
Let our gcneruls cast their scheme) and
form their system anew. Lei Congress
place our military establishments on the
solid and enduring footing. Let our plans
be formed on a policy that shall husband
our strength, and yet apply our full vigor
with the greatest effect. Let us have at
once a wise economy of our rescources of
whatever kind, and generous liberality in
employing them. This is a time for a
general revision, adjustment and amend
ment a fresh starting point in the war.
Let us gird our loins anew, and calling
upon God afresh, develope a nobler enor-
gy and a loftier spirit. Lot our Congress,
now in session, set tbe example. Despis
ing the pelly cavilling of garrulous de
claimed, and the morbid conoeit of pro
fessional cynics, let the members address
themselves to substantial facts rather
than verbel disputatious, and prepare the
vouatry for a new career of heroic exer
tion in behalf of our libor ties.. Now is the

Tin Forthcoming Dbaft. Previous to
the election, one of the Washinton cor
respondents of the World stated incident
ally that the call for five hundred thous
and men had been a failure, and that the
necessity of the service was such that a
new draft would certainly bo ordered
early in the winter. For publishing this,
the World was very heartily abused, and
tho statement was pronounced an elec
tioneering canard. While no official de
I nial was made, certain unscrupulous city
journals were used to declare
j thot there would be no more drafts, . as
the administration had all the men it
i needed to finish up tha war. Mr. Whit
ing, solicitor of the War Department, also
made a speech in Boston, in which he said
(we yiole from the Hartford Cuurant of
Nov'ejLer 3d) :
'There could be no impropriety iu
stating that on the first day of October we
had received, under the last call, over one
hundred and twenty thousand volunteers,
and ho had been informed by .authority
to which he gave the highest credit, that
the last draft, when completed, would furnith
all the men that would be needed for the war."
Yet whea Mr. Whiting made this
speech he knew that preparations for the
new draft had been going on in Washing
ton ever since September last,
The documents we give elsewhere show
that the new draft is coming right along.
It may be postponed until Congress ran
strike out the provision permitting the
hiring of substitutes, but it is tolorable
certain that January cannot pass without
the enforcement ofaru conscription
such an one as we have not had since the
war commenced.

Private Letter from General Lee.
The original of the following private
letter from General Lee to his tou was
found at Arlington House, and is interest
ing as illustrating a phase in his charac
ter: Arlington IIouse, April 5, 1852.
' Mr Dear Son : I am just in the act of
leaving home for New Mexico. My dear
fine old regiment has been ordered to
that distant region, and 1 must hasten to
see that they are properly taken care of.
I have but little to add in reply to your
letters of March 20, 27, and .23. Ypur
letters breath a true spirit of frankness ;
they have given myself and your mother
great pleasure. You must study o bo
frank with the world ; frankness is tho
child of Lonesty and courage- Sny what
)ou uiean to do on every occasion, ami
take it for granted you mean to do right. '
If a friend asks a favor you .should grar,t
it, if it is reasonable ; if not tell him
plainly why you cannot ; you will wrong
him and wrong yourself by equivocation
of any kind. Never do a wrong thing to
make a friend or keep one ; the man who
requires you to do so, is dearly purchased
at a sacrifice. Deal kindly, but firmly,
with all your classmates ; you will fipd it
the policy which wears bent. Above all,
do not appear to others what you are not.
If you have any fault to find with any
one, tell him, not others, of what you com
plain ; there is no more dangerous exper
iment than that of undertaking to be one
thing before a man's face and another
behind his back. We should lire, act, .
and say nothing to the injury of any one.
It is not only the best as a matter of prin
ciple, but it is the pla to peace and hon
or. In regard lo duty, let me, in conclusion
of this hasty letter, inform you that near
ly a hundred years ago there was a day of
remaikable gloom and darkness, still
known as the dark day, a day when the
light of the sun was slowly extinguished;
as if by an eclipse. The Legislature of
Connecticut win in session, and as its
mem ben saw tho unexpected and u nsc
co'tiutable darkness coming on, llioy
shared in the general awe and tarror. It
was supposed by many that the last day
of judgment, bad come. Some ono, in'
the consternation of llie hour, moved an
adjournment. Then there arota an oiJ
Puritan legislator, Devenport, of Si ana -ford,
who cald that It iliu iut .iny hnd
come, be desired to be found at his place,
doing his duty, and, therefore, moved
that candles be brought in, so that the
House could proceed with its duty. There
was quietness in that man's mind the
quietness of heavenly wisdom an inflex
ible willingness ' to obey present duty.
Duty, then, is tbe sublimest vord in our
Innguntfo. Do your duty in all tlitigi
liko the old Puritnn. You cannot do
more ; you should never wish to do less.
Never let mo and your mother wear one
grey hair for any lack of duty on your
part. Your affectionate futber,
