'Tears it has had the satisfaction of see
ing nearly every great measure of public
policy advocated by it, in connection
with the other democratic newspapers
of the country, receive the sanetion of
the people, and become the law of the
land; while nearly every measure ad
vocated by its opponents was repudiated
and buried out of sight as an effete or a
false issue. There has scarcely been
one single great measure of public poli
cy, during all these years, which has
been able to withstand the sharp
test of public criticism until it became
the law of the land, or a guiding rule of
political action, which had not its origin
in the brains of democratic state , anen,
and its advocacy at their lips :lad in the

During a large majority of the years of
its existence, the Awl/if/eau , / has had
the satisfaction of seeing the country
ruled by deniocratic Presidents, and
when, occasionally, its opponents canto
into poWer, " holding a barren sceptre,"
and being unable to mould the policy of

brief term of office, were compelled to
give place again to the only political

THE POSTPONEMENT OF THE CHICAGO
( CONTENTION. -
Throughout the country, almost with
out icception, the postponement of the
Democratic National Convention is re
garded as wise and judicious. A short,
sharp and vigorous campaign Will ac
complish the desired result afi„Wettitilly
as one prolonged Throtigh,d' period' (if
five or six months. The Democracy
are everywhere ready and eager for the
:"-frar - but - they Inive-waapd 7 pf(itiently-so
long -already,,and- with. such fortitude
of • endurance, that there is no danger
- of their ardor cooling, or their "courage
oozing out of their finger ends" before
the first of. September next.
Iv, the present wretched condition of
our country it is disgusting to see Mr:
Lincoln and his satelites employing
all their energies in efforts to secure to
themselves a continuance in positions
of power which they have. misused so
shamefully; and so greatly to the detri
ment of the nation. Were Mr. Lincoln
at all fit for the position he now unfor
tunately occupies, he would abandon
all the electioneering schemes on which
his thoughts seem XO be principally
bent, and, attendingiiirefully to the
many momentous issues now impera
tively demanding every moment of his
time, and more than all his abilities,
would calmly await the verdict of the
people upon himself and his public acts, ,
without attempting . to influence it by
means which arc not regarded as en
tirely reputable even in political cam
paigns of an ordinary character. He
has, however, so often outraged the pro
prieties which should attend any man
ill his position; has shown such a want
of elevat iott of nature, has been so much
the boor and the buffoon, that we can
not reasonably expect to see him act as
that citizen should whom the people of
a great republic have seen elevated, even
by accident, to the position of a ruler
over them. Let him continue to shuf
fle the dirty cards by which lie hopes to
win the prize of another term of office,
while thousands of the best and bravest
sons of the nation lie weltering in their
blood on ever recurring battle-fields ;
let him indulge in petty squabblas with
his secretaritiA as to who shall fill the
suhordinute offices, while the finances
of the nation are sinking into irretriev
able ruin ; let lam retail his miserable
smutty jokes, while the very life of the
nation is test ebbing away. Such is his
nature, such has been his unvarying
course of conduct, and it is now entirely
too late to expect him to act otherwise.
That the people will consent to, endure
his continuance in power a moment
longer than they can get rid of hint in
a peaceful and constitutional manlier
we cannot and do pot believe.
In the meantime the Democratic par
ty, true to its past history, as a great,
patriotic, and vitally vigorous organiza-
Li.,11, Will in due time assemble. A plat-
Mint inciples will be laid down, on
wliielievery conservative citizen call
lake his safely and brolly, and
candidates of undoubted fitness and un
,itiestionable character will be presented.

THE FOURTH OF JULY.
The Anniversary of our Country's na
tal day is, under ordinary circumstances, -
a-fitting time for joy. That is a beauti
ful custom which consecrates certain
. days as sacred to the memory of our
hero dead, which sets apart others as oc
casions ol,piiblie rejoicing, Val& iii@ a
nation's millioni mingle now their ears
in common sadness, or calls them to join
hi one long, loud shout of universal joy ;
- ' ' ons the laughing child from
his sports anti - the old man from his
fireside, the artisan from his toil andthe
student from his books, the poor man
from his humble - cottage and the rich
man from his _lordly mansion, which
brings tbrth all to join in the glad scenes
of a common jubilee. _
Such was the spectacle our country
long presented on each recurring anni
versary of our independence. The
morning of the glorious fourth was
ushered in by the loud rejoicings of
Columbia's freemen, its evening faded
into night hallowed by the holy prayers
of many a grateful heart. Mighty and
wide spread was the joy which hailed
the annual return of this our country's
natal day. From hill-top and plain,
from mountain brow and vale, from the
fir-clad hills of Maine to the tropic
groves of the sunny South, from where
rude Atlantic thunders on the east to
the shining western strand which the
Pacific gently laves—everywhere,
throughout the vast extent of all this
favored land of ours ascended to heaven
the loud rejoicings of a peaceful, united,
and happy people. The very same men
who have now stood, for three recurring
anniversary days, in hostile array on
bloody battle fields were brethren then,
united by a thousand kindred ties.
Sprung from a common ancestry the
same blood flowed in their veins. They
had married, and intermarried. There
w•as scarcely a family in either section
old enough to boast of a grandparent
born on American soil which was not
allied by tender ties to those in the
other. This country, with all its glori
ous historic past, and its glowing and
expanding future, was regarded as The
common heritage of those who were
proud and glad to be called a common
I people.
How different is the scene which our
land presented on the Fourth of July
just past. On numerous bloody battle
fields those who had once regarded
themselves as kindred and friends were
arrayed in hostile and deadly conflict.
Richmond was heleagured by our troops,
while in the Southern counties of our
State, along the head waters of the Po
tomac, our merchants were packing
their goods and our farmers running off
their stock in hourly anticipation of a
rebel raid. The cannon thundered in
the stillness of the dawn, not to arouse
to rejoicing, hut to call armed men to a
renewal of sanguinary and unavailing
strife. Those who had met as brethren
in the past now peered with flashing
eyes and , visages full of hate through
the murky clouds of battle, eagerly seek
ing to shed the kindred blood, trans
mitted through the veins of fathers who
had fought side by side for eight long
years against the tyranny of Great
Britain. The continuous warnings of
these, the fathers of the republic, being
forgotten, a sectional party at length
found itself able to precipitate upon us
all the woes .so long, and so confidently
liredieted. Now, as the sun rises bright
ly on the morning of the Fourth, he
shines not on the MOM(' peaceful and hap
py scene he once witnessed, hut, "on the
broken and dishonored fragments of
011 IT Vll/111/W , 1 . 11i1111; 011 hates IliSSVVer
ed, discordant, beligerent ; on a land
rent with civil feuds, and drenched in
fraternal blood." We do not wonder
that there was little disposition to be
glad, that the celebration of the day was
not attended to a. it once was. Sorrow
has saddened the present, andedould and
ilarhness seem to rest in thick clouds
upon our future. liod grant that, ere
another anniversary of our independ
ance dawns, we may see the old I - nion
restored, and an honorable peace estab
lished, IleVer to be broken!
lON. GEORGE SANDERSON
It must have been with sincere regret
that the patrons of the inteltilleneer
read last week the parting address of
the sterling Democrat and high-toned
gentleman who has for the last fifteen
years presided over its minim's. Nor
will this feeling of regret be confined to
the patrons of the paper or to the limits
of Lancaster county. Long before
i'EOßffl.: SA NDERSON C21111(` here he
hail acquire) as IStkat' reputation as
the slits Of an able, earnest and digni
fied Democratic paper. He had also,
by the purity of his private life, and by
straightforward, honest, manly dealing
with his fellow citizens, acquired a
character as a man which would not
have sultiii.ed by comparison with that
of any other resident of the highly re
spectable community in which he lived.
The years that have elapsed since he
changed the field of his usefulness have
not diminished the high respect and
sincere friendship entertained for him
by the people of the Cumberland Val
ley when he resided among them. By
his politic:l) r friends he is held in grate
ful remembrance as the champion who
often led the Democratic hosts of " old
Mother Cumberland" to victory i—by
his political opponents he is remember
ed as a fair and courteous antagonist,
who, in the warmest contest, never
stooped to the use of a dishonorable
weapon ; and by all classes he is rVIDVDI
- as a true friend, a kind neighbor,
al !good citizen and "an honest man, the
noblest work of God."
How well Mr. SANDERSON hats sus
tained in Lancaster the good nano• he
brought with him when he took charge
of the hieelligeneer, is known to every
body WhO k DOWS anything. The high
official position he has so long occupied
by the free election of the people of the
city, is the best evidence that could ire
adduced or desired to !trove the estima
tion in which he is held by those who
have the hest opportunity of knowing
hint intimately. IVe are glad to see
him thus appreciated and endorsed by
the gaol people among whom he has
east his lot in the descending period of
his life, and we beg to assure them that
it Will alffird us sincere pleasure to vo
operate with them in any further mark
of eonfidenee and esteem which it may
be proposed to bestow upon hint.
ADVANCE IN PRICE
The proprietors of the Philadelphia
Age announce that consequence of
the recent great advance in the cost of
white paper, materials, and labor, the
price of the Daily Age, from and after
to-day, will be to mail subscribers, ten
dollars per annum ; five dollars for six
months; and two dollars and fifty cents
for three months—payable, in all cases,
in advance. To city subscribers, twenty
four cents per week, payable to the
carriers. Single copies, four cents. The
Age is one of the ablest Democratic
dailies published, and is deserving of a
hearty and generous support.
CHANGED HANDS
The Patriot and Union, the organ of
the Democracy at Harrisburg, has
changed hands, and is now conducted
by Messrs. Campbell and Hit. Mr.
Campbell has lately given evidence of
his ability in managing a newspaper in
the publication of the Johnstown Demo
crat, which he speedily made one of the
best country newspapers in this State.
That the Patriot and Union will be
vastly improved by the new firm we
have no doubt. Ws wish it abundant
success.
RESIGNATION OF SECRETARY CHASE.
Mr. Lbw() lt:ninr, : Is we 't o k\‘'ith:
yeti; bad taste, insisted upon embarras
sing Secretary 'ClutSe by saying who
should occupy important positions un-:
der that functionary, he indignantly
threw up his port-folio, and retired from
' 'the Catdifet: tZueh, 4 . t.. least, is the ex
l‘planaliOn givt)st by leading Republican
papers. It is, however, said that Mr.'
Chase had resolved sometime since to
retire at the end of the present si • •
anirthat he wasyerylghtatO
self of the plaUsihle plea given him by
Mr. Lincoln for doing so. Immediately,.
upon the resignation of Mr. - Chase, the
President appointed Dave. Tod of Ohio,
an utter incompetent, to the vacant
place. When Tod's name was sent into
the Senate for confirmation, the an
nouncement created gteat astonishment
and produced a storm of excitement
among the Republicans of that body.—
The result was that Mr. Lincoln had to
consent to give the place to a man who
is regarded as possessing some qualifica
tions for the highly important position.
Mr. Fessenden, of Maine, has been eon-
firmed a.s Secretary of the Treasury.—
The appointment is generally conceded
to be a good one, though it is much to
be doubted whether even Mr. Fessen
den can stagger along with the moun
tain of weight thrust upon his shoul
-ders. All the evils predicted by the
Democratic party from the establish
ment-of a false system of. finance have
come upon the country, and every clay
seems likely to accelerate the coming
crash.
REPEAL OF THE COMMUTATION CLAUSE
After having refused to do so by a large
majority, the House of Representatives
has at length agreed to the repeal of the
commutation clause. This change was
made in obedience to the express desire
of the President. He insisted upon its
repeal, and he was obeyed. Hereafter
nothing will exempt from the hardships
of the draft but such positive and well
defined physical disability as will
bring a man within one of the classes
prescribed by law. The chances of ex
emption on this ground are greatly less
than they were a year ago, as the list of
disqualifying diseases and afflictions
has been greatly reduced. Men are
now taken into the service as con
scripts who would have been rejected if
attempting to enlist in the regular army.
The only possible chance of escape is in
the procuration of a substitute, and this
is an article which will command fah
ulous prices on the recurrence of the
next draft, which must come -speedily.
It cannot be otherwise than that great
suffering must necessarily ensue from
the enfOrcement of a conscription under
the present harsh law. The rich inan
can readily procure asubatilute, but such
an article of luxury will he utterly be
yond the means of those even in ordi
nary circumstances. Verily we are pay
ing an enormous price for the freedom
of the negro.
A DESERVED TRIBUTE OF RESPECT
The Edwin iner of lust week, in an
nouncing the retirement of Hon. Oeorge
Sanderson front the postion of editor
and proprietor of the liaclligt.nccr, pays
him the following handsome and a ell
deserved tribute:
Tuesdays Intelligcnce r 'contains the
valedictory of Hon. George SIITIfIN'SOII,
WIIO I . ol' the past fifteen years has been
its principal editor and proprietor. As
Heretofore annoCtnced, on the ist ofJ
inst., the paper passed into other hands
to he laildished daily mid weekly.
We cannot allow the retirement of
I. Sanderson to pass without alluding
to the unitin•m kindness which has
characterized his social intercourse with
his brethren of the press. A strict par
tizan, and a man who labored earnestly,
but, we believe, honestly, for the suc
cess of his party, disputes would neces
sarily arise which for a time engendered
bitter feelings. But these were of short
duration, and with the cause passed
away to be remembered no more.
The business relations Of Alayor San
derson with the E.ruinincr, extending,
through a period of many years, and in
volving the expenditure of many thous
ands of dollars, was never marred by
aught that was unfriendly or ungener
ous. Prompt and reliable, acting al
ways in good faith, his word was as good
as his bond, and thus through all the
ups anti downs of a publisher's business
life, his obligations were always prompt
ly met, and his credit ever tinily main
tained.
Under these circumstances we part
from I. Sanderfion as editor and pub
lisher with regret, but indulge the li"pe
that his future may be bright and un
chanted, and that in whatever enter
prize he nary engage the reward may be
equal to his merit its a citizen and worth
as a 1111111.

He removed the tower which had stood on
the rock, bright and yellow and hanl, and
built him a huge tow..r of paper, which he
caused to foal on the waters, awl com
manded all Men on that estate, when they
desired to know the height of the waters to
look at his paper hover. "The height of the
waters van only lie measured on the side of

to think there is danger to the estate until

how to measure the heights of tides, and
whether they might ever be able to measure
them again. Solite of them maliciously and
wickedly attempted to measure the height
of the advancing waters by the sinking hills
and the land as it was lost. But these abom
inable men were quickly beaten and driven
from the estate. And the paper tower
danced on.
Salmon adhered to his principles the more
firmly as the ground disappeared ; and soon
there was nothing left of the estate but one
barren hill top, where the men congregated
in desolation,. and determined to kill Sal

The paper tower had danced so long and no
violently that it was saturated with water,
and was rapidly settling down under the
waves. So, at 'last, Salmon consented to
take the men away in their one boat, and
strive to find some new ground. And away
they went, as the top of the paper tower
went down. But whether or not Salmon
and his men escaped in safety, or what be
came of Uncle Samuel himself in all this
trouble, is not yet known.--N. Y. 'll7or/d.

poultry, beef-and garden productions are
abundant.
With regard to our personal appearance,
we hide our blushing face and bid the-liidies
speak,—they are as fait in all the graces
and perfections of an Apollo Belvidere:
As to our reportorial abilities, we doubt
not that time and a generous public will do
us justice. We can but promise unwearied
attention to our calling, adding thereto in
defatigable energy in ferreting out inter
esting incidents and horrifying accidents.—
But, as a sensitive conscience always re
stricts our imagination, we will be depen
dent upon the occurrences of stern facts for
matter appertaining to our Department.—
Now if an obliging community will only
accpnmodnte us with an occasional start
ling event—such as an elopement, a suicide,
a bad case of hydrophobia, alarming sump-
toms of general and wide-spreading small
'pox:, or even a dog-fight, and apprize us in
advance of the circumstance— ( so as to af
ford time for an elaborate rendition of every
item connected therewith)—we will take
courage and grow not weary in well using
our pen—the peaceful sceptre of power.
After all, however, the absorbing and all
important question is respecting our "loy
alty," which, we are sorry to 'confess, was
indignantly doubted in one instance by an
American lady "of African descent," be
cause we neglected to vacate to her lunpli
tude our seat in the cars, while we, in an ab
stracted mood, were practising graceful in
clinations in the land of Nod. But, notwith
standing, of the purity of our record we
can give confirmation sure, inasmuch as

observed with the usual noise and confu

beautinit and advantageous for pic
nics and private parties, which was fully
ly understood and appreciattal, several
resorts in the vicinity were occupied with
the votaries of dancing, fun and frolic or all
kinds. In town then , was nothing to vary
(he monotony of the day, except the ring
ing of the bons, explosion of fire-orackers,
the reports of patriotic pistols, and other
Iloisesome affairs. Great quantities of flag
and bunting were displayed and some of
the young men were ardently full spirits
mid putriutisua. S,rvives in the churches
were hell for those who were otherwise

'June 30, 1864. J .
Sin: In poivi,ats 4. nannunicationm to the
Committee of Ways and Means ; I- have on
several occasions expressed the opinion 'that'
in order to insure sufficient means peen for
considerably reduced expenditures, a large
increase-of - internal revenue..wae .indispen
sable, and that this increase should be such
that the internal_rpotenue and the receipts
from, eustorns.wenld equalat least.t4pne

On the 4th of Deeerrfber, 1862,1 estiMa fed
the expenditure T - 6 . i .-- the_ftseal yearovhieh
ends to-morrow, at $ 8, 45413,1g3.20, and the
revenue from all.sources at 5r ,'223,025,000, and

suppression within a brief period
would be assured; and that the year would
therefore close with diminished and dimin
ishing expenditure.
The reduced expenditures of the first
quarter of the now closing fiscal year, and
the general condition of affairs at the Com
mencement of the preset session of Con
gress in December, 1863, seemed to justify
this opinion, and to warrant the expectation
that the amount to be provided by loans
would be far less than was anticipated in
December, 1862, and I reduced my estimates
accordingly.
EVellts lial'eSlitlWn that the original esti
mate was most correct. The expenditures,
iie•reaseil by new bounties, by new levies of
troops, and by the great disbursements in
cident to the vast moi-ements now in pro
gress, hove not only gone beyond my sec
ond estimate, but haVeffirexceeded the first.
The revenue, however, has also largely ex
eistfled the second, by several millions, also,
Illy first estiiiittr,..
'l'ie 11.,..ssity of nailing these expendi
tures, rectontly so rapidly augmented, has
led to the iii,reaso or circulation beyond its
due proportion to wants for money pay
ments, and to the offering of bonds in quan
tities beyond the immediate demand for
home investment. Hence ,depreciation in
currency and in the market value of bonds.
There is no good reason, in general, except
over ITIY , for any eonsiderable cliffireneti
in l' l) r'hal -411 :41) , lWerlietwetin a United States
stye dollar coin and a United States tico

I Slates live per cent. bonds, payable princi

• notes or ruin. The injurious itititiencos or
over supply hare however, been aided

nets of t.itt , otit, and traitors,

diminution of the premium on gold, it scents

To offers this 11,11,..r reduction there are
btu two Ways: expenditure MUM he re

Iris residence, ill Easton, on Tuesday morn
ing. The deet,ased had suffered for the last
twelve months, or more, from a heart dis
ease, and his health has been•so gradually
failing, that his death was not, altogether
unexpected. It was hoped that rest and
Taxation from labor, would restore to him
at least a portion of his former robust health,
and preserve his life for years to mine, but
the hope proved to be a vain one.
