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

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.

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. Reynolds
aud Lee are still watching each other at
