Neighbor is ar rayed in hostile feeliDg against neighbor ; and all belonging to the same churches, and sup at the same communion tables. Do not the true principles of Christ's church teach peace and good wil to all men, and tcath ua also to love our neigh bor as ourselves? Those principles are the star of hope (o all good men. But where are the,' to-day? They 'have all passed away like chaff before the wind ; and like "Virtue, Liberty and Indepen dence," have been chnoged to tyranny and military despotism. Now, Mr. Edi tor, with these facts before us, what have the Demoaralic party of to-dny contended for? Have they not constantly sought an honorable peace in the midst of all this confusion and blood? and are they not contending to-day, with all their might, for such a peace ? This is the ground, sir, upon which wo stand, as Democrats, in iiecciria township, and for this we are branded as traitors, rebels and copper heads. Why ? because we advocate a prin. ciple which we know is in accordance with the Constitution of the United Stal.es, viz: " the freedom of speech, the liberty of the press and the right of the peop'e to assemble together to discuss matters be longing exclusively to a free people." ow, Sir. Editor, itii those principles, and tho decrees of the immortal Jefferson and Jackson, before us lo-day, wo cling to Democracy as tlie wrecked mariner does to tho last plank j and I am proud to say that a free people can never be ruled with justice unlosi tho piver is based upon Democracy and Constitutional Liberty. It has been told us by some of our Repub lican friends, who arc opposed to arresting men to gratify the evil designs of these unprincipled fiends, who are uot loyal to- day, and never have been loyal to this govcrnmont, that some of us would be ta ken for treason, WhatJ treason in Bec caria township Away with such fanati cism! .If treason exists, I can sufelysay. it is not with the Democracy. Now, sir, where are the Democrats? Is the vast or-j my of this government composed of lio- ( publicans alone? yo.no!

Now. those " cow boys " may persecute us to to-day, as did tho samo blood persecute our aires and grand-tires in 1776, for opinion's sake. But they can never wipe out the name nor the principle.

ExEtLTivECnAMUF.il. ) , Harrrisiilrg, 2Gtb Jan.. 180j I 1.0 3d of March 18C3, commonly called he enro mont act, provided (seclion 4 PlPssinnnl iliulri,.f H, . r,. . . I I r i i- .. l"u "-"I'i-iive states should form a district, and . (section 1 1) that all persons enrolled linn!,l i. ...i. ject to be called into tho militarv serviVn of the United States, and to continue in service during the presont rebollion, not however exceeding the term of three y are, and further (section 12) that in aasigninc to the districts tha number of men to bo furnished therefrom, the I'rasuient sliould take into considoral ion the njtubor of Tolunteers, nnd niilitit furtiished by the several Sinieg in which enid ditlricta were situated, and the period of their service since the commencement of the rebellion, and should so make said assignments n to equalize the numbers nmong the districts of the sevoral States considering and allowing for the numbers alroady furnished as alorsoid, and the time of their service. The time of actual service which by this act you wero directed to consider and allow for, could not, wjthoul impract icable labor, (or indeed a' all) be fix I with exactitude for each district, but it could easily have been so approximated by averoiies that littla if anv nrantic.il in. justice would have been done. The com mencemeni oi mo third yaar of the war was close at hand at the tiuw of the pas sage of the act. It would not have been dillicult to ascertain, ofone thousand men enlisted for three year, what was the aver age number that remained actually in the service at the end of the first and second years respectively, and thus tho aft mild have be2o substantially ampltd with. For instance, suppose it to have been found that one thousand men enlisted for three years, (here remained in the service an average of forty per cent at tho close of the fiit year, and twenty per cent, at the close of the second year. The result noulU have been under the provision of the act, that sixteen hundred one year's men wouia nave been taken an the uivolent ofone thousand three year's men. Unfortur.ntly the lieaOs of Lurcaun, to whom the matter seems to have been en trusted, begun by falling iuto a strange misconstruction of the a t. They did in effvet strike from the 12th section the rihrnRrs "perind of their service" and "time of there service," and insert in lieu thereof the phrase "term of their enlist ment," and then proceeded to apportion credits by multiplying the number of years for which they were enlisud. Cal culations made on this basis wereofeourso most extravagant, and the people every where felt that somehow injustieo was be ing done. In the attempt to soften this numerous and contraiielory orders have been issued from the Provost Marshal General's office, and long essays by him self and others have- been in vain published to explain and justify their action. In fact, as soon a, tbey got beyond the morally ceitnin limit ef the actual service of the man, their calculation has no long er a practical basis. Its principle, carried to a legitimate extremo, would justify the enlistment of one man for 00.0(H) years, and crediting him as tho whole quota ot the Stato, with a small excess. .Barely every reasonable man can say for himself whether ho has found that getting one pair of b(U or three years is practically equivalent to getting threo ttairs of boots for one year. The viMonary character of the system on which they have proceeded cannot bo better illustrated than by the result ut which they have arrived on tho present occasion. The quota of rennsylvania on the last cail was announced to be CI, TOO.

All these changes . increased term of tervice beyond one year, being c.iu-'cd by no intervening eireum-' is not agreed to be rendered in compliance stmiicrs that I nm aware of.

Tho government require! lot', supplied. - " ' j 000 men for ono year, not a les number Their plan U unjust to the districts and of men for a longer term. Vr a defioion- to the govern merit. It wholly ignores the losses of men bv desertion, siokneM, death and casualties. The losses from most of these causes are greater during tbe first year of service than nlterwards. A town which bus furnished three thous and nion forone year, has tuobubly lost three fifthsof them from these caues be- forolhe expiration of that term have lost ' stventeen-twentieths of them. The first j town will thus have giten sixteen hun-1 dred men to the country the second but eight hundred and fifty. There is no' equality in this. The exhaustion of the industrial population of tho towns, is in Government the government has In the1 annouuee on the one hand that although fnsl case the actual rervice during tho a three-years' man qounts only as a ono whole year of fourteen hundred men in year man towards tho quota on which he the second case the Actual service of say volunteers, yet that ho shall bo counted four hundred men during the whole first as three ono-yenr's men, towards the quota vear o' probably not more than two hun- oa a future call. This is directly in the dred men during the whole second year, teeth of the law. On the other hand, they and aav one hundred and fifty men at the' are cyphering out ft deficiency or, tho last mli Ydrinfl the whole third year. Bo- call, by counting three one-year men as sidea. the aiuount ol tervice that may be only equivalent to ono threo year t man, required promptly ia to be considered, ( which is equally against law. and not merely the agreed term of service.)

Con press thought fit to paw the act of U-lth of ebruary, im (ent.Ucd, -An Sot to a rtiend.tlie act ul 3d March, lsti3") which provides, (section 2.) that the quota 0r ouch ward or city, iow, 4o., shall be as nearly as po.ible in proportion to the number of nion resi dent therein liable to render military sf r vice. taking into account as far ns practi cable the numtor which had L.een tue viously furnished therefrom. Thus the former act was amended by giving credits, not to districts but to smaller localities, and bv omitting the provision for consi lenuanc allowing for t m time of service in estimating credits ; they were directed in future to be given as far as practicable on tho basis of the number of men previously furnished, without rofetenco to the time of service. And this was followed Up by the act of 4th July 1804 (parsed at the same session wnicli provide. (ioct ion 1 ) that the Presi dent may at hi discretion, cull for any number of volunteers for the respective terms of one, two and three years, with bountios regulated according to their term of enlistment, and (sectiou 2) that in enso Ihofjuotaof any town. &c, shall not be rilled within the space of sixty davs after such cull, then the President shall im mediately order u draft for one year to fill such quota. These ara ihe causes hich now regu late the subject. It is not for rneorycu.sir, to discuss the question of their proprterty. They are to be obeyed. It would be esy to show that they form a reasonable and intelligible system. For merly when calls were made of men for military service, they were made bv re quisitions on the Governors of the resnec ! live States, who then uroceeded to rlmft to fill the auota of the State, in this draft, men from anv oiaie or locauiy wno nan voluntarily eu- tored the service of the United States, by enlisting in the army or otherwise, wero not taken into account. No credits were given for them on the quota, any more than f. nrlir, tmrl nC I hair own accord encaged themselves in any other lawful employment. The system, however, of raising verv largo bodios of men as volun teers, under the act of Congress of 18G1, bad drawn upon the military population of the respective States and military lo calities very heavily and notquiteequablv. and therefore the enrollment act of 1863 was passed, it was thought best toprovido for equalizing the exhaustion, by allowing credits to localities for the volunteers fur nished by them. But the government had accepted volunteeis for various terms of service, and hence the effort to lender the equalization more perfect by considor ing and allowing for tho time of thoir ser vice as well as the number of men. ''.'he acts of ISOt, above recited, hive modified this system, by fixing n delinite term of service (one year) for which men aro to be drafted. V oluntcers tor not less than that term are to bo credited to their lo calities on the quota and rcceivo a certain bounty from the government. Such of them as choose to enlist fur longer terms receive further bounties from the govern ment, but so far as regards the increased tprm beyond one year, ate not to bo cred ited on the quota, but are Io ba lett on tho samo fo ting that all volunteers were on before tho act of 18!3. That is to say, the government rnuounces that it will take by its authority a certain number of men from a locality for military seivica for one yPar. That is' the lawful demand which it will enforce.

TWiMiictrivoi the folWiiii; account of the lato interview IcUolu, Tresidont Lin coln and Secretary Seward, on the ono part, nnd Messrs. Stevens, Hunter und Campbell, of the rebel authorities. As soon n., we get the account of this inter view, as furni.hed from Richmond which will most likely ba in a day or two we will give it also, when our readjts will bo better able tojud-o where tho blame rests : Wasiiinuto.v, Feb. 5-0 v v.

The conference opened, as wo intima ted on Thursday that it would open, with reminisciences of tho old Washington life and inquiries after common frionds and acquaintances- Stephens was worn, nnd had a look oronjiety and weariness- This justly should be imputed to tho disease which unceasingly supa and wastes the vi tality or.Jbe ublest and bravest of Ameri cans. Hunter was in a ilno condition, ami lofty and confident nsof yore. Campbell, too, was his old self. All were marked with strength, ansurauces of tho future, and consciousness of power- There whs in no ono of them a trace of supplionce; not ono was in loo!;, word, gr carriage a suitor for peace. The salver of the plenipotentiary from Africa Unld i;ie passage over topics of Kinuiy uiki pieanant talk Id a siinlicanl inquiry of Stephens how near! tho ex tension of the Capitol was. completed, and the expression of a desito to go to Wash ington to see. 2Ir.

Whon fully leached on the rolnl side, Stephens took the parole and surpassed ull his old exhibitions of persuasiveness, shrewdness, fores, tact, nnd coupled in pulling tin de mands and the richts of thu Confederacy. I n tho midst of them, nnd at tho conclu sion of ono of hi points, Mr. Lincoln swung forward on tho lower hinge of his back and interrupted : "That reminds me of a story a man oi;l in Illinois!" Steph ens, Hunter, ur.d CjuipLoM instantly jum pod up in a roar of mrrriment. The interruption cause 1 by this o'larac- leristic outbreak, aid the apt story which followed bein through v.ub. thu rebel Vice Pie.-i lent resumed, un i pursued to the end of hi statement of the rights of the Confederate SlatGJ nnd the tevm on which ho thought they would bo willing to stop the war. Iiecignition was the first uftheui' The proposition for an nrmis- lice was, of courso, a 1'ical sequence. It is very certain that Mr- Lincoln nnu Mr. ir'oivard wero surprised at slriLing thissna iu tho very outset of the confer- encc.

The hall was full 0' other Odtiera's. Stephens proTcssed lo spectators when tho cmiles, five in num love the old Union, to te as much as ever Uer, started.
