IS IT DEMOCRACY 1 Wo are occasionally enlightened what the patent democracy of the present day means when they use that word. Last fall it was a mooted question whether Douglas, who was the regular nominee of the majority, was the Democrat, or John C. Breckinridge, the secession candidate? Last week the Lewistown Democrat in formed us that the Peace Convention (as we styled it) held at Ifarrisburg last winter, composed principally of Breckinridgers, was a ileni'jcratic con cent ion. We accept the amendment, and as Mr. Slenker, the ! secret caucus nominee for President Judge, was one of the Vice Presidents of that convention, here is one of the resolutions adopted by that body : Bth. That we will, by all proper and legiti mate means, eppose, discountenance and prevent any attempt on the part of the Republicans In power to make any armed ; aggression upon the Southern States, espec ially so long as laws contravening their rights j shall remain unrepealed on the Statute books of Northern States, and so long as the just deniauus of the South shall continue to be unrecognized by the Republican majorities in these States, and unsecured by proper amen datory explanations of the Constitution. That's democracy, is it? The princi ples of democracy, that paper has said a hundred times, NEVER CHANGE, and of course what was democracy last winter must be democracy now 1 And to cap the cli max of this tory resolution, the proceed ings say it was received by the whole con vention rising! Last spring, when indication pointed to warlike preparations by the Southern trai tors, a bill appropriating §500,000 to arm Pennsylvania was voted agaist by every so called democrat in the legislature except two. Was tiiat democracy ? Again, on the outside of last week's democrat, will be found an article copied from the Dayton (Ohio) Empire, one of Yallaadigham's tory sheets, in which a contrast is made of what the Breckiaridl ers had said would be the result of the election. J'reetsely so—these iireckin- j ridgers alleged that if the people did not i elect their candidate, there would be war, and, to make their prophecies g<>od, as soon | as the election was over turned round and made war ! There's some more of ttit Lewistown Democrat's democracy for you flow do you like it, Lnion men or Mifflin county? Look at the candidates who were before you last year: Lincoln and Hanjliu, true to their country, are doing all in their pow er to preserve our institutions; the patriot ic Douglas is dead ; Breckinridge is a per jured traitor; John Bell is the same; so is John son ; so is Lane—with Kverett alone of the defeated-candidates still eliugiug to the stars and stripes—and yet because two of these traitors were not last year elected to rule this great country, you arc told war is the result. Js that democracy, men of (Mifflin, or is it toryism ? Jt®TDevote Tuesday to your country. The Democrat's Attack on Xr Woods. Of late years most candidates on the self-styled democratic tickets might weil exclaim, " save us from such friends, for the la owiny editor hits some of tbem most decided blows. Thus in hi- article of last week, where a foolish attempt is made to connect Mr. Woods with the failure of the Lewistown Bank, Mr. Turner, one of its own candidates, who was a director for some years prior to its failure, rau.-t have felt a little ..cosy on reading some of those queries. We Lad not supposed there was any one silly enough to make a reference to that defunct concern, but as the editor of the Democrat wants light on the subject, we will proceed to give him some. An election for directors of the Lewis town Bank was held some weeks previous to the failure, and E. E. Locke, Hon. Jas. Burns, W. W. Wilson, of Juniata county, Col. John McDowell, Hon. Jas. I. Hale, Francis McClure, S. S. Woods and others were elected to fill the places of the old board, and this we learn was done without the knowledge of is. S. Woods. Previous to that time he had never been connected in any way with that institution. \\ hen the board was organized, ( which was not more than two sveeks before the failure,) it was desired by the new members of whom Mr. Woods was the to ascertain the situation of the bank. On investiga tion it was found that the bona fde circu lation of the Lank was very small, hut that there was a very large amount in Philadelphia, which had been pledged by the agent of the bank at the rate of from 82 to -81 for every dollar of the debt owed. It was at once seen that if this enormous amount of pledged paper was thrown into circulation the bank could pay nothing, and the directors agreed to try and lift this pledged paper, and a commit tee consisting of E. E. Locke, Wm B. Norris, and S. S. Woods was appointed for that purpose. At this time there was very little money in the bank, and the committee, received none of it, while the a-sets, with hutsmall exceptions, were in the paper of a few individuals. The commit tee went to Philadelphia and had made a partial arrangement to lift this pledged pa per, when word was brought that nearly all the principal debtors had failed, which stopped the arrangement. Had it not been for this, the pledged notes would have been lifted apd the entire circulation probably redeemed. This was all the con nection Air. Woods ever had with the Lewistown Bank. As to the insinuation that be or any one transferred assets fraud ulently to A. C. Wilson, it is utterly un true, for Mr. Wilson, who is well known among us, lost from 87,000 to SIO,OOO by its failure. Neither before uor since that time has Mr. Woods directly or indirectly had anything to do with the said Lank, but as counsel has always been adverse to it. As to liability, Mr. Woods never incurred any, as the bank was utterly insolvent when he was elected a director. The idea that an act was passed releas ing Mr. Woods from liability, if he had incurred any, is simply ridiculous, as the constitution of the United States, as well as of this State, forbids an ex post facto law. The only parties who were lia ble—at least believed to be so—assigned their property to other parties aud under a suit long on the list but never tried, esca ped. Mho those parties were, the Demo crat can ascertain by applying to James Turner, its candidate for Associate Judge, or several other members of the so-called democratic party. As to the quarrel with his partners, the dispute with one of them was referred to a Master in Chancery, G. W. Sanders, Esq., of Luiou county, who made a report fix ing the account substantially as Mr. Woods has it. The two partners sold out by the Sheriff were certainly not sold out for firm debts, as Mr. Woods would also be liable. The charge that he circulated the Lan caster Bahk notes knowing them to be worthless, is a base libel which it would serve the editor of that paper right if lie was iudicted. If any notes were endorsed by the firm of Woods, McKarlaue <fc Co., as stated by the Democrat, those notes are good for the amount on theix face—a fact which we think any fool would know. Mr. Russell (who probably does not thank the meddler of the Democrat for in troducing his name) sever pretended to redeem the Lancaster .notes he hud put iu -circulation, lie paid theiu out and receiv ed them (as he does other ban k notes) so long as they wese good, and when the bank failed threw them out. Bj3A„.A letter from Munich says: The work < n the grand gateway of the Capitol of Wash ington is on the point of being terminated in the royal foundry, and in about a fortnight will be publicly exhibited in one of the large rooms of the establishment. It is a work of the grandest style, and the basso relievo representing the principal scenes in the war of Independence excite jgreat admiration. ! Mr. Sleaker and his Antecedents. The Democrat enters into a detenee oi Mr. Slenker's Lit winter, which as usual amount to a denial oi even the most notorious facts, ft represents tht secession sheet in Selinsgrove as giving him but a Iartial support, wh.en the truth r? that it has teemed with articles in his iavwr iruta the start, and probably professed to dis sent from him for the purpose of blinding some folks, just as the editor of thi Dem ocrat would like to make him appear as an independent candidate, instead of a regu lar caucus nominee, which he is. By a misprint of Lewislurg for MiJ'U Lurg we are mad> to say that Mr Slei.ker was njt prepared to speak "on the Union'' at a Union meeting at the former place instead of the latter, and thereupon the Democrat denies the whole statement —yet it is true to the letter so far as Middleburg is con cerned. Again, but two weeks ago, at a meeting in Snyder county, Mr. Slenker acknowledged that it was only on the d3d of April that he came to the conclusion the government must be supported and the war prosecuted, thus admitting that before he had not made up his mind. The Lewis burg Chronicle takes up our queries and adds some others to them, which we copy, clearly showiug that he is charged at home precisely with what we stated. Here they are: sth. Is not Mr. Slenker the choice of all the Day Book adherents in this district ? of those who declared that " if any man goes to fight the South they have to walk over my dead body?" of all who argued that the North is wrong, and the South right? of all of those who "hoped our volunteers would get their heads shot off ?' 6th. Was not Mr. Slenker appointed Del egate, in Feb. last, by the Detn. Convention in Lcwiaburg which adopted the following: Resolved, 2, That we deprecate civil war, as we believe that this UNION cuu NEVER be maintained by force of arms, and that as Democrats we are not willing to take up arms to support a platform which a majority of the people repudiated and opposed at the pulis. (These resolves delight in Buchanan's im becility or treachery, and say they will not sustain the in coming administration.) 7th. Did not Mr. Slenker leave Court, same week, and act as Vice President of the State Convention at Ilarrisburg "for the RE CON ST RUCTION of the Union on Democrat ic principles," (thereby avowing that the Un ion was dissolved, and never had been on the right principle !) and then and there endorse the following among other resolutions: Resolved, 5. That the people of the South ern States contributed their exertion and treasure in the acquisition of the Territories, equally with those of other States, and that ti.e principle which recognizes the equal rights of ail the States in the same, is found ed on the clearest equality and supported by the decision of the highest Court of the conn try. It ouyiit therefore, be sustained by every law abiding citizen until a satisfactory diet diny line can be settled by amendment of the Constitution. Bth. That we will, by all proper and legit iuiate means, oppose, discountenance and prevent any attempt on the part of the Republicans in power to make any armed aggression upon the Southern State*, esoec in liy so long as laws contravening their rights shall remain unrepealed on the Statute bowks ■ f Northern Stat-s, and so 1. ng as the just demands uf iii? S..uth shall continue to he unrecognized by the Republican majorities in these States, and unsecured by proper amendatory explanations < f the Constitution. [Savs the report: " The reading of the resolutions called forth much applause, and when that declaring the dclermincd opposition of the Democracy of Pennsylvania to an arm fit ayyression upon the socediny States was read, the whole Convention rose en masse, and with the waving of hats and the violent shouts of enthusiasm, shook the very walls of the building that held them. Tiny were adopted I'D acclamation.' ] (The first of thes resolves applauds the South for demanding—in defiance of the de cision of the People at the late election—the Extension of Slavery over all the Free Ter ritories, as a " RIGHT." The other says in effect that the Democrats will OPPOSE THE GOVERNMENT if it attempts to pre serve the Union by enforcing the laws 1) Bth. Would not the election of Mr. Slen ker be hailed by the Secession sympathizers as their victory, and every vote for him be counted as really in favor of surrendering precious rights and privileges to traitors in arms for the sake of a hollow peace? Ilis subsequent, studied, 4th July speeeb —got up in view for running for office—we disregard. What be said and did before, and who his applauders and backers are, are tbo true tests. In addition to this we know there is a private letter in Lewistown, written with no political view, which states that the writer would cheerfully support Mr. S., but cannot do so ou account ot his senti ments on natioual questions. All these tilings go to show that whatever Mr. S's 1 professions have been since the 23d of April, he was previously allied and in league with that portion oi the Breckin ridge party which denounced the National and Stato Governments as the causes of this infamous war, instead of the demo cratic traitors who have been working lor years to bring it about. Mr. Slenker is now GO or 61 years of age, a time of life when a ten years office ought hardly to be bestowed on any one. Mr. Woods, on the other hand is just of that age when the miud is clearest, well balanced, and the body full of vigor. He will no doubt devote himself to the position . with a determination to hi! the office with credit and impartiality, meting out jus tice to all concerned without fear, favor, or affection —just such a Judge as we want. An intelligent farmer remarked to us the other day that he believed the election of Mr. W. would prove a saving of ?100 ,! a year to the taxpayers in the petty criminal cases alone—that class which creates so much expense- to the county and consumes so much time in the court —having a whole some fear of being brought before him. And this we too believe—-not because he would be stricter than otheis, but because he is known to have the energy and will to punish where it is deserved. The Relief Fund- It ought not to be forgotten that the present election will bring into office a ma jority of the Belief Board—two Judges and one Commissioner going out. Messrs. Bratton and Brower we know to be firm advocates of relief to families of soldiers in need, and the same may be said of MoKin ney and Morrison—all men of liberal views and just sentiments. Of their op ponents, Scroup, Copliu and Turner, we know nothing whatever ; they may or may not be Lv or able to a proper administra tion of that board so as to meet the wishes of our gallant and their friends at home. Let Every Voter Bear in Mind That but for the obstinacy of the Lewis town Democrat and a few Breckinridge leaders, there would have been a Union ticket this fall and no party contest what ever. The People's Party, before and after the nomination of the Breckinridge ticket, made offer upon offer of a Union ticket, but no, the Democrat and its allies wanted a party ticket—a ticket no full of party that there is not a single Douglas man upon it. 11. Ilo:>s, the candidate of the self-styled democracy, called on us the oth er day to say that he believed that we had misrepresented his position on national and state affairs. lie acknowledged to having j been a Breckinridge man lust year, but . says he took no active part in the election, is now and always has been a Union man, and has neither denounced the State or National Administrations, nor the war. As we have no personal knowledge of Mr. It's sentiments, our information being de rived from other sources, we give him the benefit of bis statements, with a regret that he is fuund in doubtful company. j ae>'L'ho Democrat wants to know why some folks don't go to war. Why didn't Mr. .Sample go? lie was a member of the Mifflin County Cavalry au long as parades were going on, but when war came was not on hand. By the by, why don't the editor of the Democrat go? His old patron ami master Cobb is among the chief con spirators, and it would be some amends if siid editor were to shoulder a gun and shoot down cue of the traitors whom he used to praise as the beau ideal of democ racy.

( WAR NEWS, A Federal force of Kentuekians has captured J. 1? Clay and sixteen of his fol lowers. Senator Breckinridge was auiong the company, but effected his escape. The mounted force under Zollicoffer continues to commit the most atrocious outrages upon the farmers bordering on east Ten nessee, systematically carrying off their slaves, robbing the masters, and destroying their property. Important Advance of Gen McClellan. WASHINGTON, Sept. 2c. During the last week it was so frequently reported tr- ui day to day, that our troops had taken lat iiight, this long predicted event took place, it found f w believers auiong those least excited by sensation reports. A personal visit, however, places the fact beyond doubt. The American flag new floats ihere in place of that of the rebels. Detatchments from Gen. Richardson's, Keyes', and Wadsworth's brigades, and also from Gen. Franklin's division, now occupy Munson's Hill, being in command of Colonel Ferry, of the sth Michigan Regiment. Early this forenoon the pickets from General Smith's posiiion advanced to and now occupy Falls Church. Neither this nor the preceding movements met with any opposition whatever, as the reb el i.rrny had on Friday night retreated from the whole line of tbeir positions fronting Washington. Upton's iiiii, this side of Fails Church, is necessarily included among the prints now held by the Federal forces. The works of the enemy, at the places they had evacuated, were, in a military view, al most worthless, being nuthiDg more than rifle pits of very common construction. The positions at Munson's and Murray's Hill afforded the rebels near'y an unobstruc ted view of all our fortifications anl other de fences. The appearance of the ground deserted by the rebels indicated that they weru deficient in those arrangements which serve to make a camp life comfortable, having no tents, but merely shelters rudely constructed. There were no signs to show that they had ever mounted any guns there. Our troops are now so employed as to show that thej du nut mere ly intend temporarily to occupy their present positions. Special News from Washington indicates that the rebels at A quia Creek, ani in sever al small creek 3 emptying into the Potomac above that place. If this be true, the rebels have not fully abandoned their purpose of crossing below into Maryland. The main tody of the Rebel army is re ported to be resting on the Potomac river, with one of its wings some thirty miles he low Washington city. WASHINGTON, Sept. 20. .4 Itelcl Attack at Great Falli—The Rtbtld Scattered. The reconnoissance made bv the rebels, this morning, at Great Falls, was made by eight regiments with artillery. It was met by Gen. MoCail, who dispersed and scattered the enemy by sis rouuis of shot and shell from a battery planted ou the Maryland side. Alarm at S'cic Orleans. The following important letter vras received here recently : I". S. Steamer Niagara, 11th Sept., 1861, > Off the mouth of Mississippi. { The latest news from New Orleans is that there is much suffering and distress there. Placards were posted on the corners of the street, a few nights ago, inscribed "Lincoln and Bread!" Jejf'. Doris and Starvation There are great apprehensions of Fremont's descent down the Mississippi river, and if he comes many arc read'/ to join hint. The blockade of New Orleans Is closed, and becoming .-loser every day. A dashing boat ex; edition was ma le into Pensaeola harbor on the sight of the 13th ult. Three boats with twenty sailors and seventy five marines, made their way up to the Navy Yard. One party got on the wharf and spiked a large columbiad mounted there, whilst the others boarded and took possession, after a sharp fight, of the privateer Judith and fired her. The " big gun" was disabled without the loss of a man ; but the party boarding the schooner lost three men killed aud a number wounded, a most galling fire being poured into each boat as it approached. \V hen the schooner had been so ellec tually set on tire that she could not be saved, the boats hauled off again and proceeded back to the Colorado—not, however, without giving the crowd of Confederates, who had by this time assembled on the wharf, a parting salute of canister. The dry dock was burnt by the Federal forces. The confederates were pre paring to float it out and sink it in the chan nel, and to prevent this a boat was despatch ed from Fort Pickens with orders to tire it. This was successfully accomplished. The flag ship Constitution, arrived at Ports mouth, N. 11., confirms the statement that the United States blockading squadron had taken possession of Chandeleur Island on the Gulf coast. Fortifications had been thrown up on the island wkh the purpose of holding it. From Missouri. The news from Missouri is interesting.— Gen. Lane h s captured a rebel supply train at Osceola with SIOO,OOO in gold, and is mov ing to join Sturges at Kansas city. Reports from Leavenworth leave Ben McCullougb in the vicinity of Fort Scott, whilst intelligence from Lexington leads to the impression that t he is advancing upon Jefferson city with ten or fifteen thousand men. Jackson, with his traveling Legislature, i 3 at Lexington, has passed an ordinance of secession, and are discussing a bill to confiscate property of all opposed to the confederacy. Gen. Fremont is at Jeffersun city, organizing a combined movement on Price, who was still at Lexing ton on Thursday. All the officers under Gol. Mulligan have been released on their parole. From Western Virginia. From the Cincinnati Gazette, September C 3. On Tuesday General Rosencrans was at Cross Lanes, expecting to move during this week to Gauley Bridge. General Cox moved forward from Gauley Bridge, on the Lewis i burg turnpike, to attack Wise and Floyd, who were entrenched at Big Sew-all Mountaiu. Ou their approach, Wise and Floyd abandoned their entrenched position aud fled to Lewis burg, where they are supposed to be waiting for another advance to again take to flight. There are no indications of any immediate movements in Western \ irginia.
