FOR THE DEMOCRAT.
history of the Republican Party. N 0.2.
The first chapter in tbeldstory of a peo• .
ple, renowned in every tige for an nn- ;
bounded desire for kingly power and glee i
ry, found the President of a free Repub
lic transformed into a kingly warrior, and
seated upon the long vacated throne of
the Cmsars. This sudden elevation-of so
humble an officer of state, and his investi
ture with tiolrer transcending that of any
Monarch since the days of the Ptolemies
and the Neros,
astonishes as well as re
joices his moat devoted subjects, and - it is
c_
wondeeed how it could have' been achiev
tetwitliout the aid of the genii. This is
indeed its only solution. Mythology in
forms us that Jupiter, having obtained the
sovereignty of the skies by his victory o
ver the Titans an oracle predicted that
unless he conid successfully defend his
home, he would be again deprifed of the
soverignty. - Performing a feat which the
reader may peruse at leisure, he felt a
sharp pain in his head, and called upon
Vulcan to split open his skull, when,what
? was his astonishment to see Bellona, the
1 goddess of war, spring forth from his
head, clad in complete armor, brandish
ing her spear, and clashing her arms, as if
- attacking an enemy, and resolved at once
to conquer. Thus, upon obtaining the
sovereignty over this nation of which they
bad been deprived for many years, the re
publicans were warded by an inward ora
ele that the Titans, who were banished
not by prowess but by accident, would in
time resume their sway.. To guard against
se great a calamity as the loss-of thew po
litiml power, they•follbwed the eiample
of Jupiter, and received into their political I
lady the "mother of abominations," abo
litionism, with allilier wicked an fabu
lous theories of subjugating the white
race and holding it in subjection, by libera
ting an inferior and degraded race of peo
ple to help in the Fork of extermination
and subjugation, and to assist in ruling
over them a ft er the conquest was achiev
ed. They said, " this southern country is
ours by right, and we will have it, in its
length and breadth, with its Fivers and
coasts—with its cotton and negroes—it is
ours, and it shall be ours,if we make it
a desert. They reject the Union. Be it
so! We will eject them froth the Union,
but still hold their country by military
force. They have attempted to destroy
our government; we will make them, not
its citizens, but its. übjects. We love \su
premacy and power, lid have been every
where conquerors. We are descendants
of the Norsemen and Sea Kings, who
conquered the
_Celt in France, England
and Ireland, and held him conquered ;
overturned the Roman Empire and spread
havoc through its .oficient cities. They
mil us abolitionists. r 2We accept the title,
and will abolish slayery, or anything else
that stands between ae - and our purpose."
To free the black man and enslave the
white is their purpose. This purpose once
eonceived, and their plan matured, they
called upon their god Lucifer to empow
er them to aceeentlish it. and th,.........ut
them to retain their seat upon the throne
of Nero. By some magical feat, perform
ed by artifice and sleight of hand, he open
ed
their skull, when out sprang, the con
ception
'of their brain in the form of a
mighty warrior, clad in a coat of mail, and
armed with the weapons not only of a
Caesar but of a god. "Jupiter sits upon
the heights•of Olympus, while the eagle
at his feet looks up awaiting his com
mands." Abraham sits 'won his throne,
while the whole land add'flaval forces,the
whole wealth and power of the United
States, await his bidding. " Jupiter is en
throned as kin'e; of heaven and earth, the
stars are round about him, the globe is in
his right han ,sceptre in his left, and
a diadem is on his head." So sits the
------- tte
President! he stars upon the NAmeri
' can banner are round about him, the scep
tre
_ 1
of the twenty-four governors is in tone
hand, -while the . other traces epoith,e
globe the country marked for subjugation.
His powers, they say, are equal to the
task. "The 37th Congress conferred up
on him a power, the extent of which was
undreamed of; till it began to be unfolded.
It vested more power in his hands than
was evefbefore vested in the hands,of any
one man 'since the days of Rome." " The
Constitution 'puts the lives and property
of all the people under his control. He
has constitutional authority to fine, imprisr,
• on and put, to death all who aid and abet
the rebellion." He has authority, also, to
define what aiding . and abetting means,
and underftnition your humble wri
ter is in danger of exile and death, for
simply proving the , powers of the Presi
dent as fabulous as those of Jupiter—for
proving that he has taken for his prece
dent the examples of the despots who ruled
in the barbarous ages; that under-. spe
cious pretence, he is committinc , crimes
which history declares were known only
to the dark ages. Macauley tells .us that
if ati•English sovereign, were now to hit

- whole nation would be instantly -electrifi

'continent before our presentatkiii-
was adopted. Tria - plint - readi thus: " All
the militia ant the appaintinent of officers
tube under the Natiopal Goiernutent.—
No state to-have any land or natal forces, I
and thelnilitia of all the:Stateit under the
sole and exerusive direction of the United
States, ithe officers ...to be appointed and
commissioned by. them." Jefferson and,
his party rejected his' whole scherne of
government, and they were ever after
sworn enemies, just as the federalists un
der the name of republican, which Suffer
son and his party bore then, are now ene
mies of the Democratic arty. / 74 reas
on of this enmity is to-day the . same as
then. The Republicans want a Monarchy
—the Democrats our Free Republic.—
"Soon atter the opening of'
Congress - 4h
1792; an attempt was made to .show that
Hamilton, then Secretary of the Treasury,
was a dangerous man, aiming at the des
tructiOO of the liberties and rights of the
people." There is no doubt of the truth
of this. . This history will • prove that he
wanted a government upon the, model of
Great Britain. His son, John C. Remit
ten, is now at the head of the Republi
can party in New York, and the people
may be assured that their liberties are in
danger. The Constitution is already over
thrown, and that party are trying to re- .
:lain their power by establishing a milita
qy despotism. The powers of the Cesars
was obtained by usurpation, and held by
military force; and before we give a far
ther history of the repetitions of the crimes
of the Republicans, in imitation of Henry
VIII, Charles I, and other tyrannical
kings, we will ask them to remember that
even a Cmsar was put to death for his am
bition and tyranny. Brutus said, " I lov
ed Caesar much, but I loved Rome more!
Had you rather that Cesar were living,
and die all slaves, than that Cmsar were
dead and live all freemen ? As Cmsar
was ambitious, I slew him ! Who is here
so base as would be a bondman ? Wbo
is here so vile that will not love his coun
try ? If any, speak, for him have I offen
ded."
FOR THE DEMOCRAT.
A Reply to Citizen."
Ma. Eorron :—Over the Signature of
"Citizen" is an article in the Republican
of the 19th inst., which I think deserves a
little notice, not on account of any logical
reasoning, for the whole article is a very
thin tissue of nonsensical bombast, evi
dently written by some vain, egotistical
abolitionist who with the bellows he says
he uses, wonld like to blow himself into
notice, but font the attempt made by him
as well as hers of his stripe, to fix the
charge of di loyalty upon the Democratic
party in general, and upon the Democrats
of Franklin in particular.
He starts oat in his article by charging
upon the Democratic party a common
practice of resistin ,, the authority of the
Federal government,
.and cites, first, the
whiskey insurrection during Gen. Wash
ington's administration. All the,' reply
needed to this charge is a reference to his
w. —hl,.. .1. M. 131.4.... pcurciliirtll3lM3 110%
read, except what is contained in the Tri
bune. He may, be the same man who told
his son the other day-that he had never
read the Constitution of, the U. S., and
yet he thinks himself competent to teaci
Chief Justice Taney his duty, and, to crit
, icise judicial decisions rendered explain
ing the Constitution. Democrats inaugn
-1 rate the whiskey insurrection ? 0 Citizen!
yon must count largely upon the gullibil
ity of the readers of the Republican. As
well might you, charge' Simon Cameron
with being an honest politician, or this
war as now waged a war for the restora
tion of the Union !
He next charges the Democrati, thro'
the Kentucky Legislature, with opposi
tion to the "alien and,, sedition" laws—
just as if that was a crime! History says
that the Legislatures of Virginia and Ken
tucky declared them I to be ,„.Tross infrac
tions of the Constitution, an appealed to
other states to join in the opposition.—
They did nothing but what they had a
perfect right to do, and I am willing that
all the odium that Citizen, can attack to
Opposition to such,laws, should fall on the
Democrats. The laws were so unpopular
that at the session thereafter they were
repealed. So much Sat charge No. 2.
Now, for the third; and, Mr. Editor,
what do you think it is? Why, the Dem
ocrats inaugurated the Hartford blue
light
. Convention!, James Madison, a
Democrat, was then President, and it' was
his party that opposed the war, was it?
Now; i, do notr,wfsh , ito , imitate his lan
guage, andcall him afool, but will submit
it to your r,4iirs if he does not talk -or
write liks min, -He mast be : one, or else
a knave, and hay hang on which horn
lie chooses, or o loth . He says ° ! the caus
es which prom ,those men to meet are;

almost, identi '. with :those which now;
prompt t 0, he ret,. dark-lantern , imps of

Ole secret, dark-lantern partyy, to which he
belonged in 1854 r were the descendants of
the lien who pasted the odious alien and
sedition, lawtof '.98; be would have. come
nearer the truth, than anything I Lave'yet
discovered in his article. Instead of , o.:
lug , round with , llark-lantenis, holding
meetings in Virus, hen-roosts, garrets or

scientiously disagreeing With him, and
with all Who hold to that most dangerous
and despotic doctrine. I can define my
.loyalty in a few words: I owe my allegi
ance to the Constitution.of my country.—
The sovereign power of this land was
placed; in the hands of the people, in ex
press terms. No President constitutes
iny .gdiiriiiinent. I know - that a few of
fice-holders whose terms, their fortune,
will soon expire, promulgate the strange
Idoctrine that they are the government.—
Let this doctrine once prevail, and this is
a free government no more; the.whole
idea is borrowed from the old'axiom that
the "King is Supreme!" The sovereigns,
the people, make and unmake administra
tions ; and frequently the - only way to
to save the government is tO destroy the
power of those who have set the Consti
tution and laws under it at defiance. I
owe no allegiance to those who would
overthrow the liberties of my country. I
owe them support in that in which they
are right, ano I owe them opposition and
denunciation in alt they do is wrong. But
Citizen says, " well might humanity weep
if the nation should be so unfortunate as
to leave its destiny to your (Democrats)
bands,". and yet, notwithstanding, I am
more than ever proud to be called a Dem
ocrat. -The party to which I belong is a
noble organization. I see its history writ
ten in every bright page . and line of my
country's prosperity and happiness. The
people were safe, the Union was dear, the
Constitution was preserved, no gigantic
debt, no ponderous system of taxation, no
wailing of widows or mothers, no sobbing
oAorphans, marked its track; and I'thank
I G L od that it is not responsible for the pros
' ent State of things and if our Union is ev
er restored to us incited and happy, it is
the Democratic and.oonservative men of
the country that must harmonize and
briog together these disunited States.
"Let those in danger look out." These
are the. ominous words that seem to carry
terror and dismay into the mind of Citi
zen and " brother Andrew." This An
drew is the man who was so forward in
the know-nothing cause in 1854. He it
was who reported that the Irish. in Scran
ton were running bullets to shoot the
poor know-nothings. I can fancy how his
eyes rolled up in terror when he was told
that daylight would shine through the ab
olitionists. Why, the poor souls never
think of such a thing as ligk shining thro'
their dark and benighted minds, for noth
ing suits them so well as darkness, even to
blackness; and-if the pangs : of blackness
-and darkness' does notseize upon their
,ruilty souls, for their wicked sayings and
doings'against the Constitution and those
whoare endeavoring to uphold it, I shall
be greatly - mistaken.. If he was evertold
anything of the kind, it. was just to see
hold hi a vim, an1, 1 .^.• A nt
iseiore ciose win intorm unizen,
and he' may inform' his friends, that the
Democrats of Franklin know their rights,
and "knowing dare maintain them ;" and
they intend to hold another Democratic
meeting as soon as the farmers get over
their hurry., It will be a public meeting,
and' if any abolitionist spies wish to attend
to report: names, &c., they are welcome
to come ; but they must not attempt to
deprive ns of our God-given and_Constitu
tional rights.
And now,' Mr. Citizen, a few more
words and lam done. Ido not know or
care who you are, as I;have no true means
of judging but by an admission
. you made ;
and from that am lett to decide that you
are about eqnfil to a negro. By taking
your tongs to ''\‘ A Live Cole," you are ev
idently afraid.or bitiningour fingers.—
Fire is a refiner . and-pitriffer. It seems
you have been in the crucible, and if the
dross is separated from the true metal, I
can assure you all that remains is little
(South) worth. Fire is not ' only useful in
refining metals, but is also necessary for
culinary purposes; and many a Fish has
been done'brown over it..
I owe an apology to the readers of the
Desnoerat for taking Uri so much space,
and as my only justification, request them
to get the Republiian of the 19th inst.,

ilgrA few Weeks since, the Montrose
Republican declared that treasonable so

in league with .Teff Davis. We demanded
that the editor should fully expose the
traitors. But the paper keeps silent upon
the matter, and the natural inference must
be that none such exist, and that all its
articles on the subje et were intentionally
false and libellous.
Not content with general libels, the
paper alleged that we spent the Winter

branch of the Pennsylvania Legislature, in
forming said treasonable bands! and our
respectful request, that so gross a Charge

But it is this negro question which con
stitutes a great portion:of the bone of con
tention among the people. The prostitu
tion of the war to a scheme for military
abolition ; the squandering of the public
money in wretched negro experiments;
the proposition to tax the free white labor
of the North to the amount of untold mill
ions, and for generations to come, to raise
money for thieving fatiatica to invest in . a
grand negreji slave trade; and this detest
able thrusting forward of the hideous doc
trine of negro-equality—social, political,
and military,—unier various forms and
disguises, are convincing the people that
vbat was once considered as an abstract
idea, toe obnoxionF and obscure to merit
opposition, has-been siezea hold of by an
unfaithful and unworthy administration
as a means of stealing an extension, of, a
term of abused power, that it may uproot
old institntions of liberty and erect upon
their ruins a Undefined despotism which
will allow white freemen less liberty than
it would itTaiin to give the black 'slave.—
And the hirelings of this new enemy to
justice, drunken with the taste of spoils
and power so wickedly lavished upon them
from the very life-bloOd of the country,
would gladly rush the honest but unsus
pecting masses blindly into a party league,
where, undercover of . the deceptive cry of
"supporting the administration without
reference to party," the Most abject party
practices are indulged in, and the victim
''will finally discover that he has been: used
to elect unworthy men to offices, who will
abuse their power to strip him of his inal
ienable rights.

" 0408rilead Meeting in Lenoz."-
I"t is a nosing te hdte the Viiiainons' use
of langeage in squibs which
appear ie,thestlxilittem leapt, organ, over
imaginary titlefi, (atyrespectAble man will
dare avow their authorship) purporting
to be reports Of "copperhead meetings."
One fellow, dating his compound of false
hood and misrepresentation at Lenox,
(why, not at. Glenwood ?) makes use of ail
infamous conibinatioief words, which we
quote from as a specimen . of . Republicae
electioneering. tie states that the cep.
perheads adopted a constitution—
"a more treasonable thing, -if possible;
than adopted by th - e — Southern Confeder:
acy. By it the members of the society
pledge themselves to destroy the Repub
lican party; if they have to destroy the U.
States Government in doing so. They
pledge themselves-to do all in their power
to oppose the present administration and
arouse sympathy with Jeff Dav is. They
adjourned to the Titus school-house, May
at.which time they again convened
and read their constitution and by-laws;
giving an invitation for signers. Three of
four Republicans were present and asked
the privilege of taking au active part in the
meeting. Being granted the privilege, one
of them moved that the constitution be
published in the county papers, as it was
alleged by its framers to be the only plan
or basis upon which the Government co'd
be saved from destruction. The chair re
fused to put the motion. The mover then
offered one dollar for a copy, but a copy or
a publication could not be obtained. The
members of - the organization openly avow
ed themselves in sympathy with Jff Davis
and confederacy. More vile and black
treason was never written upon paper than
the constitution and by-laws of that cop
perhead organization. Their emblem the
copperhead pin, like the snaky reptile from
which it, derives its- name, protrudes its
head from their bosoms as the reptile does
his form front the bosom of the earth upon
which he crawls. They boasted of being
armed, and of their intention to use fire
arms upon their enemies, the Republicans,
if they could not be doscruyed without.—
They are to hold meetings the first'Satur
datitt-each month. There are: about a
dozen members belonging to the treason.
able organization, and the quicker WAR
is made upon such treason in the North
the better."
From reliable information we are able
to state that every material assertion in.
the above is deliberately false. The first,
second, third, eighth, ninth, tenth, elev
enth, twelfth and fourteenth . sentences, (9
out of 'I 4) in particular, are falsehoods so
black and designed, that none but some
vile creatures who are sunk to a tower
ing depth of infamy and who are grow
ing alarmed ; at the spread, of true 'princi
ples, could have manufitetured them. The
- ctitistitution was sent to us for publication
at our convenience, and contains nothing
objectionable, or with which abolitionists
need , feel-troubled, except that it pledges
the membets to vote for no ,abolitionist.
If the Lenox scribe Will botrOw (or steal)
the Afcm . triisi ifemocrat containiitgthe con

will, it is hoped, be relieved from. some of
the kinks in their wool.
