The latter were thus the unconscious chroni

potulaces ventured upon deeds of mutiny

selves in their cities tied, at great per
sonal risk, recorded the seiznre of for

intrepidity, and they were numbered by scores.
The greatest rivalry and enterprise subsequent
ly marked them, as can be gleaned from the
fact that we have frequently bad tidings of
battles, siegetn, and bombardments through
newspaper channels in advance of the Govern
ment despatches. So, also, the official reports
of war matters have been mysteriously circu
lated through the journals before they were
ready 10 be Shithutted to Oongoss. Thet
President and Secretary of War have been
often, in this way, apprised of battles of which
they aid ' , Kit naval and mili

more dangerous enemies to the rebellion than
regiments of inCintry or horn. So shrewdly
have they deciphered, at times; the strategy
of the campaign, that our military leaders have
been emmyelled to charge their policies and
how far the "great strategy" has been indebted
to shrewd newspaper suggestions, hints, and
conjectures, our generals best know, and we
can only guess. riziaily, the correspondents
became so apt at revealing embryo schemes
that they were banned by the War Depart
ment. Nevertheless, the newspapers of that
time exhibited not less signs of enterprise ;
for the pluck that rebels in arms could not dis

Their mission has not been all a mercenary

be al predated by the historian, who cannot
complete his record of the times without gly

WAsIIINGTON, May 12, 180 t.
The last words that Judge Douglas uttered
in public were these;
The eohipiraoy To hreak up this Union it a ntet
now known to all. Armies are being rained and
wer ied to accomplish it. There can be but
two ddes to the controversy. E mery man elm/ he
on the side of the trotted States or against it.
There can be no neutrals on this war. There can
be none but patriots and traitors.
Cf7l - seirettna have been led to hoPo that in
the Northern States it would be mode a party
yuesl7oll r producing ervii war hotween Democrats
anof Revd/ harts, and the South, hettur, Ytattfq,
cevld step in 'took their lAgiong, and help thA APPA
to flo•Atroy the other, turd then conquer the vie-
tor."
These prophetie and glorious words have
been enshrined in the popular heart. They
have become the inspiration of the patriot—.
the text of the Union orator--the creed of the
Union solaier. President Lincoln has acted
upon them in his administrative policy. His
political friends have embodied them in their
generous Inv liallmo to loyal Democrats to write
with them for the cowmen' defence. The no
minations made by these men have been gene
t:Any r a tified at the ballet-hoses. New elll,rts
are put forth in all the adhering States to give
renewed vitality to this movement at the
corning elections. It is in the midst of
these efforts that the " Democratic mem
bers of Congress" appear with their ultra
party preneunciandento, the present pur
pose of which is to oppose the Adult eistration,
with the direct object in view of bringing
back into power the worst elements of the
Secession conspiracy.
It is painful to read this extraordinary
matiffesto, published under the auspices of
men; a few of whom still claim to be believers
in the counsels of Judge Douglas, and then
to read his final warning words to his
.coun
trymen.
The eeteeeel to e l, the hliaht6ht stem:sok or
sanction to the war, or to denounce, even in
modulated emphasis., the rebellion, is irresisti
ble proof of the ends sought for by the
authors and signers of this " Deme:retie"
Address. At no period of human civilization
do we find a parallel to the present struggle
tor free leetitutions on the American conti
nent. The principles at stake are immutable
and immortal. The only structure of Deeno
eeerle BoCAMIIOIIt on earth, and the last—the
most precious charter that ever God bestowed
upon man—will stand or fill as the war ter the
American Union triumphs or fails. Foreign
nations are watching the progress of this
war with breathless interest. It has
almost wholly superseded every other topic.
Their Parliaments, their Writers, their men
of science, their Kings, and their peoples, ob
serve; debate, and theorize upon it. The
Etiglish statesmen and pamphleteers can feud
no text so iruitful as the American War. The
French Emperor discusses it in private and iu
public. Thu Russian Czar sends over to our
Government words of admiration and cheer.
The Italian heroes regard its issue as more de
cisive of human freedom than any event that
has ever taken place in the Old World. In the
United States, the war is the only queation
I which vitally and constantly concerns
I
the people. It concerns them in every
pulsation and fibre of society, business,
kindred, and home. Their nearest rela
tives and mends are in the army_ Them
is hardly a family in the loyal States that
is not represented among the defenders of the
Republic. Thousands are in mourning for
their sons, blethers, fathers, and friends. The
subjects over present with them aro the war, its
duties, its sufferings!, and its results. The
pulpit rings with patriotic discourses on the
war. The newspapers are crowded with it.
In every quarter, in every neighborhood, in
every social circle, it is the one single abeoeh
ing thought and theme.
Surrounded by such a condition of things at
beetle, and admonished by the eultations and
anticipations of our foreign foes, and the
hopes and prayers of our foreign friends,
" the Demoeratiemembers of Gengeees" refitis
the coldest syllat-le_of comfort to their bleeding
country. 1 hey see her grappling with the
banded murderers of Liberty, and fold their

that has yet been made in favor of treason.
What would have been the proper judgment
against a party that refused tQ 4edare its pa.
triotism in the Revolution ? The Dettype ctle y
leave always claimed to be the war oilliKee
tion; and in the second conflict with Engtind,
and the last with Mexico, they had no indig
nation too severe to visit upon those who were
cold or hostile. Now, in a far greater crisis
than the Hest, or than t-ither of these ) or than
all combined, the Democratic members
! of Congress" propose to reorganize the
Democratic party on the basis of opposition
i to an Administration which is doing its whole
duty to the Republic in her direst agony, and on
! the theory of withholding their c144144§(11 or as
sistance from those who are fighting our
battles.
The scheme of reorganizing a party under
certain leaders becomes more odious in view
of the infamy which attaches to the bad men
who have had it in charge for the last feiv
- years. These men are still in the ascendant
in its counsels. As they were the agents of
the traitors before the rebellion, so do they
eementhize with these traitors now that they
are in arms. Indeed, " the Democratic
members of Congress" anticipate the ro
tten) if 149 t of the traitors themselves, to
Congress, at least of those who will do as
they did when they held seats in our legisla
tive halls.
Then-Democratic tarty found its grave under
the infamous Administration of James Bu
chanan. It was assassinated by the tyrants
who framed and defended Leeerepteh and th e
English bill—who proscribed every honest
man that refused to sanction these frauds—who
murdered Broderick and defeated Douglas,
and who, up to the very last hour, used the
confidence of a generous people to strengthen,
• stimulate, and organize the Secession Con
epirecy. The attempt to resurrect it may be
successful ; but this can never be when those
who undertake the task summon the people to
its standard by a deliberate insult to the Union
men engaged in this great war, and by an
equally deliberate expression of sympathy for
the enemies of the Government.

CAIRO, May 11.—The desperation of the rebel Cause in
the Mississippi valley culminated yesterday, in an attack
on the United States flotilla off Fort Wright.
On Saturday matting, at an 411113," hone, elsht of MA,.
gunboats came around the point above the fort, and
boldly advanced towards the flotilla. The Cincinnati,
which was stationed at a point where the rebels came nu
ou Friday, did not attract their attention until tho neat
had primed above her. As soon as she was seen, attanul
&famous attack was commenced from the whole fleet.
The gunboats MOO an attack upon her with but little

peared upon her decks and prepared to board the Cin

at the scene of action and engaged tho rebel fleet.

The air was very heavy, and under cover of the dense

Mr. FESSEti DEN (Rep.). of Maine, concurred in
what had been said by the Senator from Mamachusette,
and moved to lay the reeedution on the tabl.
Mr. DAVIS (U.), of Kentucky, said there a.as groat
danger in too much legislation. A great deal of the
legislation of this session had been of a mischievous
character, and he wanted to set an early day for al
journruent so Congress cou]l not ease any morn sunk
actg. You have 'passed, be maid, measures this session
which are unconstitutional, iniquitous, aud unwise, and
which will he resisted by the whole white pool-dation of

by every mode of resistance they can devise.
Mr. WIIreOM ITiee,) I tell the eauitar to order for
uttering treasonable sentiments on the liwrof the Senate.
Mr. DAVIS. The Senator does not know the meaning
of treason.
The CHAIR called the Senator to order. Tim Senator
from Maaseekusutts will put the .eords to writing.

welds to
the Clerk's desk: *Congress has pointed mea
cures which the State of Keutucky would re.ist, and
which I shall counsel my people to resist by every wetted
114 ply Power-"
Mr. PAILS. That is not what I said. I said that in
my judgment Congress has passed unconstitutional mea
sures, and so far as these measures are unconstitutional,
I will advise my constituents to resist them, and 1 hero
repeat it.
Mr. WILSON said that was a gross mAidcatioa of
what the et rotor had said before.
Mr. FESSY.NDEN raised a question of order whether
any Senator has a right to denounce the acts of Congress
as unconstitutional.
Mr. WILSON (Rep.) of illaesaelinsetts, had the
language of the Senator read, as taken by the phono
graphic reporter, and it was the same as that contained
in his own copy. He t said that, after the mo.litUation

OVRRNOR CURTIN, always 'skilful of the wants
of the Pennsylvania soldiers in tho fiold, is no lea
thoughtful of those who have been prostrated by
wounds and sickness while in the discharge of their
patriotic duty. We yeatvishy butiaad that a largo
number of troops wore removed to the Baltimore
hospitals, and that those who belonged to the Penn
sylvania regiments were sent by steamboat directly
to Philadelphia for medical treatment. For this
arrangement they are indebted to the foresight of
Ooveruor Curtin, who judiciously oharterecta
steamer and had them conveyed to this city, to re.
oeive immediate treatment, and, at the same time,
to be near their friends, who can personally mt.
mildsta to their wants.
