A QUERV We publish this week articles from two Dem. °crate newspapers of this vicinity, the Honesdale Herald and the Eackaanava reetrt'ater, evincing disposition to stand by President Johnson in support of the national government. But waere stands the Montrope Dc;noerat WHAT IT MEANT When the Ilic,bmond papers announced, a few days before the 4th of 3.l , xch, that an event was about to transpire which would send a thrill of joy throughout the South, and startle the world, it probably had reference to the tragedy which has since startled the whole country by its enor mity. it is known that Booth intended to as sassinate the President on that day, but the want of co-operation in those who were to assist him defeated the plan The " world has been start led," but the t' thril. of joy" which was to be felt throughout the South, is now a feeling of fear. for the consequences of their work. OEMS= We have little faith in the evidences of mourn ing shown for our mnrdered President by indi viduals and newspapers who hare been for four years denouncing him as a tyrant, a usurper, and violator of the Constitution and laws.- 13 mtli and his accomplices don Wiese regarded their act, in the 1/I‘7o of ttir deity denungiations of those claiming to Ir , loyal, as one of high pa triotism I Who will say thus a tyrant, a usurper and a violater of the C moitution.ani the hews ought not to be kilted y But having ai led in the great crime, they now attempt to retreit from this suipicions position in the flimsy disguise of mourning drapery, and by admitting that -t bra him Lincoln vt.t.s, all,: all, a mend of hip coun try, a good and humane man, and gendrally a well-wisher to m: I. To i it "what a lesson it should teach to partisans, great, and small, as to their course hi the tu.ure' We believe there is no other country in the world, where the les r f the national head, tin der circumstances of such rare and peceiliar as as attended the dealt of our lamented President, and that too with the whole Country in a state of scar, and a portion of it in a state of political unrest and transition, would hate occa sioned so little financial derangement" as has been experienced here. For four )'eap-past our finances have been the most sen.itiyer point con nected with,uur government, and have been tie first to reflect the influence of suceess or defeat.
