.GENATOLELLAN AT TRENTON,
A grand demonstration in honor of
General licant-tAs took place at Milton
en the evening of Thursday, the lath.
The crowd in front of the State Street
!lonic: was a perfect jam, and the shouts
of the people,rmingling with the music of
the bands,, hailed the chieftain with. the
most tumultons applause as he appeared
before them at the front of the hotel.—
He was .intoduceil-hy
,Mr. Dutcher, and
addressed his' fellow-citizens as follows :
;My friends—,--for I feel 'that you are all
my friends—l stand before you, not as, a
maker of sTiVeches, not as a politician,
but as a soldier. I came among you - to
seek quiet- and repose, and from the
moment of my arrival I have received
nothing bat kindness. Although I_ ap
pear before you as a stranget, I am not,
lam not -altogether unacquainted with
your history. Your gallant soldiers were
with me in. every battle from the siege of'
Yorktown to the battle of Aniihtani
and, here I bear witness to-their devotion
to the eause for which we. are fighting..
(Here the , uproar compelled the General
to cease fur a few moments.) I also have
to speak of the ever faithful, ever'trne
,• the dashing, intrepid Kearney.
men who have given their lives for the
maintenance of our government. .
I have but one word more, my friends,
to say :it is to advise you, while your
soldiers are fighting-in -the field, to see
that the war la prosecuted for its:limper
_
objects—thee preservation of ails` Union
and the Constitution, and the maintenance
of your nationality and your rights, as
citizens! •
No such entbusiastie demonstration was
ever before Witnessed in Trenton—it was
worthy of tbe State and the hero whom it
Honored; and we doubt not that every
one who beard the speech will- treasure
•up and set upon the admonition with
'which it closes. • -
Thomas Jefferson's Doctrine:
Freedom of Religion, Freedoin of the
Press, and Freedom of Person under pro
tection of the Habeas Oarpui, and Trial-by
Jury impartiall}• selected: These ;princi
pleS. form the bright constellation - which
has gone before us and guided our steps
through an age of revolution and reforma
tion. The wisdom of our sages and the
blood of our heroes have.been devoted to
their attainment. They 4 hottld 'be the
creed•of win political faith, the text. of
civil instruction, the touchstone by which
to-try the services_ ofthose we trust ;' and
should we wander filina them, in raoments
of alarm,let us hasten `toretrace ourstips
amd to regain the road which alone leads
to Peace,,Liberty, and Safety." -
- laMbe New York Times, which was.
the loudest advocates of the adminictra
tiou and its pet candidate Wadsworth,
before the election, now says:
"The heaviest load ivhich the friends
of the Government gave been compelled
to carry through this ,administration hac
been the itieflicieneY of the administri
- tion. What is the use-of trying to sus
tain an administration thPt seems so in
/different and incompetent to'the.dreadful
task committed to its bands?" -
- No severer criticism on the administra
tion than -this could well- be conceived.
Pirrhe Prince DeJoinville has issued
through French sources, a history of the
peninsular campaign. He corrobsirates
the admitted fact that - incapacity; treach

-managers aided thi-rebels, 'crippled our.
army and prevented the taring of Rich

Tie Old. " Wi lmot Diorict." ,
There is ,now a strikMg.contrast: be
tween thb Cotinties teckatiy composing:
this - CongTessional District. Susquehan
na now polls for .Con'gress, over. 2,800
,Deinoeratie viites; while Bradford, and

*-. - ?z
did as well as this. county they would 011
about 0,000. If this County was as bad

to ruiriln those clountiei,,the Democtats
could have elected two regulai canal-
dates to Congress in the respective dig-
tiicta to which they are attached, *tend
of being obliged to -nocept independent
RepubliCans. Had the Democracy in this
county become reduced • as it is in -those
countiei, Grow, and not 'Denison, would
have been our member elect from the new
district. Bt this is not all ; Pennsylvan
ia would have: :elected the Republican
ticket in 9ceehir, 1856, - and from this re
sult, the election 4,.Fremoti,t, *riled, have
followed in November.. .-Fitither-; alter
the ratio of the party i vOte in this county,
this fall, to the condition of Bradford . and
Tioga, and not only . will you elect 311 'atm).
tippist to Oonkress from the tnaenie and
Susquehanna district; but' yOu nearly
or quite elect the 'abolition pandidates for
anditar-general and stirveyor-general.
Badly in the Minority as 'we are then,
the Democrats of this county, by not. al
lowirtg their forces-to be scattered as• in
our 't-ister counties of the old distriat, have
gained one Congressman to the party, and
been . of valuable
.service to the State on
two "occasions; .and who can tell but we
may save ibeparty a Governor next year,
and a. President in
. 1864, by 'similar fig
ures. Trite we all hope our majority in
the State hay 'betens of thousands—but
there is nir assurance of such a fact. .
Why this_contrast in the counties of
the old district? Why did-not Snsque
henna follow after Bradford and Tioga?
Like disaster,overtook them all in 1854 ;
yet now, our county sets them a fine ex
ample—but one they cannot'follow. The
reason 'is -- plain. From 1855, after anti
'slavery fayaticism ht;d t taken possession
of the district, Susquehanna has been in
creasing her Democratic vote, while in the
other counties it has decreased. When.
we assunied the publication of this paper,
iii - the summer of 18513, onr party vote I
stood at 1,500--7 that ..being :the vote in
18.5. Since then, 'our 'progress has been
upward, towards our old ascendancy ; • and
our Vote on county- ticket averages 2,800
—softie
‘ hundreds greater than our party
vote ten years ago, when the district, was
Democratic. But in the other countieti,.
theirloss has been steady but certain, and
their vote is' only something morethan .a
third of what it was ten years since.
There is iit• one eiplatiation . , of this
eontrast ;•a Democratic pope): has been
maintained in' this county,,and;not in the
others. Abolition bribery; or enmity
could' not do , 'in this county,! what it did
iv tAto c4ore--41oprisr,' tho Demooratoof
Ip
arty paper—and hence the contrast w e
have shown. Now, when the old district
gives over 7,000 majority for the abolition
'ticket, we hold it down to only 1,000 to
1,200, instead of giving 4,000, as did
Bradford = or 3,000, our due proportion.
If such good
.results could be produced
by a paper that - has been Verypoorly Sup
ported, how much better would be our
condition, had every Democrat come ful
ly up to his -duty ? We do not refer to
thisto *complain ; but must state the fact
that hundreds have given us no Enpport
whatever; while some who in palmier
days enjoyed the harvests of the party,
have in later years, as is too often the
I case—and perhaps natural, seemed to care
littlefor the party, unless some crumbs
were to be picked up, and no unremuner
ated labor for the party was. required.—
.
•Ana in the State this -has been consider
ed as an abandoned region, In which - all
efforts would
. be thrown away; and we,
have been treated accordirgly—left to the
tender mercies of a despotic tyranny,
whose„unmerciful persecution knew no
bounds but utter extermination.
.13nt
” we still lWe;" - and intend to, at least as
'long as Uncle Sam does, let our 'State
neighbors slight us as they may.
,tat if a tress can be of such• service, is
it not the imperative duty of every indi
vidual, however bumble or exalted, to do
his share—all he can—to sustain and
strengthen' his party paper? How to do
this, none need require directions. The
twit.[. cannot fail tb point out the WAY. •
Let those whi) have aided us - all they
could in the past. stand firmly by us now,
in vieiv of what has been done • let the ;
;lukewarm renew their zeal ; and those . '
who have done nothing, put their should
ers to the wheel, and all will he well. To
our friends in the county, and elsewhere,! ,
!we make these suggestions, and trust'i
they may not be in vain. The waves of
mad fanaticism are dashing with terrible
' violence against- the- Democratic forces
that .fearlessly stand guard around what
is left of our Constitutional Gonertimerrt,
and-a Wise generalship would direct that
.the weak points in the lines should' be
strengthened.

Some two Months ' more. ago,
DENNIS an honest hearted Irish
man, of NeW London, Chester county, /
was kidnapped by a couple of Marshal I
Anti ward'S thiputies, and carried off to
Fort Lafayettt,- where he has been con-.
fined- until releently, 'when he was dis
charged Witlikut a hearing or trial. • At
first' it was. elated that he had " been ar
rested for: resisting the enrolling • officer ;
but the Mar4hal of 'New London, ,
though a Republican, promptly gave the
lie to this ; allegation, by a pubrie card
starting that, Dennis's-conduct towards
him had. been as proper as that of any
other person enrolled by him ; and then
it became known that. the' oft nee was—
advocating- the Constitution; and- oppos
ing Abolitionism,. whieli Black Republi
canism owlets:ties into "disloy.;l sentiments
and discouraging enlistments!" • -
Dennis's arres't was after, this fashion;
Some ' ten• days prior to its • occurrence,
two strangers, hailing •from the city, call
edsit his house—entered into, donversa
tion with . him—professed to admire-his
little - property—talked about buying h—
ulked about some of his neighbors—got on
to the war and Abolition—and, after tel
'ling him they would- bring their father
out to look at the lot, as it was for hint
they'wished to purchase, they went off.—
A few days subsequent they -returned;
told-Dennis they had brought their-father
With them as far as the ;pillage of NeW
.London whernthey left him on account
of sadden illness; and then, after some
further conversation about the hit, pro
posed that he should get into ainmirrtage
and go with t•herri to,:New London - and
see the father.. at once, without
making any change of 'clothing, except to.
I put on a coat; walked With them 'oat to
the road ; all got into the:earriage, Which
:started iinmediatery at a. rapid rate—not
towards•NeW . London, but: to the Bala:
more Central Railroad, and -thence by.,
railroad to Philadelphia, from which . Omni
