WEDNESDAY, 'SIARCII 16,11864
ne, The German Republicans at a
Convention held At Detroit, resolved
"not to, vote for Lincoln." They
want Fremont, chase, Butler, or some
other candidate—but not Lincoln.
`The Executive State - Committee of
the New Jersey German organiza

lutions, protesting against the nomi
nation of Mr. Lincoln in bitter terms.

the rulers at Washington, telling him
that "the, enemy in his front has
crossed the river, will turn -his• left

Imagine the smile of the hero - of that
bloody battle-field at the fright of the
paralized authorities, in Washington.

Is_ The State Senate was organ
ized, last week, by the Republicans
seceding from - their revolutionary
and unconstitutional- course. Mr.
Penny resigned, as Speaker, which
however there was .no need" for as he
was. not Speaker, and then an elec
tion was - had and Mr. P. was elected.
The Position, hehlhy the Democrats
from the beginning of the session has
thus receiveda complete - vindication,
for had the Republicans been right
they would have - persevered - and leg
islation, would not have suffered, for
they havoa majority and could pass
any measure; But knowing' - that
they were wrong, they yielded after
a waste of two months' time, and a
large amount of -the people's money.
If the people of Pennsylvania: do not
condemn the pOlicy and course of the
Abolitionists next fall they do not de
serve better:governinent than is now
exercised over them.
Ver LITTLE HEARTS.—The amenu
ments to the constitution allowing
soldiers - to vote were passed upon in
the State 'Senate last week. The
Democrats did not vote at all -upon
the question, because- the Senate was
unorganized,—no speaker having then
yet been elected. After the election
of a Speaker they asked permission
to record their votes on the question,
and the big-hearted I manly ! fair
minded. Abolitionists refused them the
privilege. -They do this for political
capital sake, and their papers have
the meanness to bell their readers
that the course pursued by the Demo
crats was because they are opposed
to the soldiers voting. The. Demo
crats would not be guilty of such
mean, dirty, little tricks if they could
thereby obtain a unanimous vote for
their party. The democrats want the
soldiers to vote, but they also want
things done in accordance with the
Constitution and the laws:
It has been ascertained that
our loss in Florida, in the late reverse

ter It is said that Mr. Charley
Moyer, one of the Abolition orators
last fall, is the author• of the follow

he would be guilty of such foolish

LEADERS OF VIE REPUBLICAN PAR
TY.—What wonderful changes a few
-years may bring about. Three years
ago we were a happy, prosperous
and pon-mful nation. What are we
now ? Three 'years ago the Demo
cratic party had a number of - men in
its ranks whose room w•as more de
sirable than their company. They
either wanted to manage or have the
offices, to neither of which the party
would consent, because they wanted
either confidence, character or ability.
Presto change, and they joined the
abolitionists. We now find them the
chiefs among the rulers. Who are
they ? There is Stanton, Secretary
of War. We will not; say anything
against him because, we understand,
that a copy of the ADVERTISER was
sent to him a few' weeks ago from
this place, with the
. inquiry whether
we should be hung ! Ile mightan
swer "yes," and as discretion is the
better part of valor, we bold our
peace I But then there is ' Ben But
ler. He voted for Breckenridge in - the
Charleston convention upwards of an
hundred times, we believe, and threat
ened to vote for him-jmtil doomsday..
He is now chief "beast" of the Aboli
tiOnists. His specialty is to 'abuse
women, and, in general, act.the out
law, which he has been declared to be
by Jeff. Davis. Chase was a demo
crat a few 'years ago, now he leads
'the Abolitionists ; so was Cameron.:
In the Pennsylvania Senate, forthe.
want of a better, they have been ob
liged to take that political weather
cock, Morrow B. Lowry, fora leader.
Never beingAle:tOzget a corporal's
guard to follow his foolish movements
while a Democrat, he changed his
coat, and is now a cock of the walk
of the AholitionistS in Pennsylvania.
We Might mention hundreds of other
cases where discharged Democrats
have became leaders aniong the oppo.
sition, but - the above is sufficient to
show that the .men considered to be
the best among the present day Re
publicans, were always regarded as
the worst among the Democrats, and
hence, it is no wonder that the "best
government on the face of the earth"
while these men were kept out of of
fice and power, has become as it is
with them in place and authority. -
In the canvass of 1560 the
Democracy charged upon the-Repub
lican party an attempt to interfere
with the institutions of the Southern
States.. They denied it. When the
civil war broke out in 1861, the Lin
coln speakers: and presses were most
terribly _emphatic in the ig.lertion
that it was not on account of SlaVery
or any fears for its overthrow that
induced the South to array. them
selves in hostility to the government,
but that for thirty year& they had
secretly premeditated a dissolUtion
of the Union. Since the proclama
tion of the .President emancipating
their much beloved colored brethren,
they all earnestly swear that slavery
was the cause of the war, and that
the governmetat cannot restore peace
until that cause is removed.:
Attei- It is proposed that the: best
way to "take Richmond," iS first to
take Washington, next fall, by means
of the ballot-boxeS, , when Richmond
will have to yield. Washington is
between us and Richmond, and is not
in - the possession of the people, but
in the hands of spoilers and incompe
tents; hence, the necessity of taking
it by ballots ! •
giiir The camels imported for the
go.Vernment: a few years ago, and
since kept near the Tejon reserva
tion- on the plains, - have increased
froin fifteen to thirty-seven. This is
the only increase, except of debt and
taxation, that has been reported nn -
der government* management. We
hope the camels will 'continue to in-
crease - , So that the administration can
have something to boast of. It would
not be surprising if it should some
day wake up . to the fact that it has
also an elephant on its hands.
WI - Col. Dahigren, one of the offi
cers of the late Kilpatrick raid tow
ards Richmond, and who was among
the missing, is now ascertained to
'have been killed, and some seventy
or eighty of Mil men captured: Kil
patrick's loss was heaVy, and no good .
seems to have been accomplished.—
The military policy of using up all
the cavalry (as Kilpatrick's opera
tion has done) before the beginning
of the active campaign, is bitterly
censured.

"Any people, anywhere, being in
clined and `.having the power, have
the right to rise up and shake off the
existing government and form a new one:
that suits them better. Nor is' thiS
right confined to cases in which the
people of any existing government
may choose to exercise it. Any por
tion of such people that can, may rey-'
olutionize, and may make their own
of so much of the territory as they in
habit. More than this, a Majority of
any portion of such people may revo
lutionize, putting down a Minority,'
intermingled with or near' about
them, who may oppose their move
ments."

fier- There is a very dangerous
state of feeling growing up in the ,
West, in regard to the frequent de
struction of Democratic - Newspaper
offices and other outrages by aboliL
tion Mobs. •As ther'd is no legal or
military punishment ever inflicted
upon the perpetrators, the people are
making up their .minds - that retalia
tion is the only and rightful remedy
in times like these. The Administra
tion at Washington certainly could
put a stop .to the lawlessness now
rife in the land, but as they are not
stopped, and no l i viten tion is apparent
to stop them; we must conclude that
they connive at them, and hence,
law justifies the Democracy in filling
back Upon -the power of their own
strong arms , fiir selftprotection,
defense, and punishment of the ag
gressors. One of the resolutions a
dopted by the Democrats of Indiana,
will also be very applicable here. Tt

in the habit of pointing soldiers to peaceable
and respectable citizens as. "copperheads" and
"traitors," will add In their own personal safe
ty hy-siesisting from such a Ceara() in the future.
Democrats are not and will not be
the, aggressors, but as patience has
almost ceased to be a virtue in the
frequent outrages committed upon
their persons and property, we ap
peal to the opposition to reflect and
desist before it is too late. Demo
crats have borne a great deal in pa
tience. Our opponents own ,peace,
prosperity -and happiness depends
upon frOWning down and condemn
ing (before - not after) all such scenes
as have lately been witnessed all over
the -land.

Constitution in every respect. So
the position of the Abolition party is
clear enough—interminable war.—

is always kept at the mast head.. ka
soon as the faiutest symptom of a

mast head :himself, and if there is
the slightest probability that the

is driven with full steam on out of

opposite 'direction to that of the
