II- Drehcr, Associate. 40 The usual preliminary business was gone through with. The Grand Jury was called, sworn, and made report the tame evening and wore discharged with the thank of the . i I. T "VI Court for the unprecedented dirpatch with which they had transacted bihincss. Monday afternoon was occupied in try ing a petty case of assault and battery, on oath of Mrs. H.

Tuesday morning .tbo Court took op tbo case of Stroud J. IIoHioshead vs. Geo W. Nauaian, Christian Knoll and George Jacob Koerner. This is an action o Ejectment, in which the title to a certain tniet of land situate in Paradise township comes in qucj-tion. The Courtis still em ployed in investigating this case, at the time of going to press. Further particu lars next week. No Bills of Indictment wore found by the Grand Jury. The True Colors Displayed." TKa TUnnrnr. Democrat of la-t week j w - grunts and growla beeaue we, when speaking of a meeting held in the Court House for the purpose of sending dele gates to a Contention held in Harrisburv on the 21st iustant, called it by its right name. Wo stated the fact known to 3l familiar with the matter, that it was 1 meeting of the Breckinridge Democracy "But the Democrat' tolls us it was a Union meeting oalled without distinction of par ty. Now it may be that the Democrat is green enough to believe what it states, but be mU"t not suppose that other folks look Tirmi tlirt s9m colored j?la;-8Cfl. This c Convention wa called by the chairman of the Breckinridge State Central Cora mittce and so was the County Convention called by a Breckmridger, and it was of fleered by men of the same stamp. The TonrWa nf the State Convention were almost entirely Breckinridge men; and to settle the matter in our favor in char aMnrin it aa we did. it nagsed the - --rt 8tronnet kind of Breckinridge Resolu tions, which approvingly pat the traitor on their .shoulders'. The Democrat talks very flippantly about the Republican refusing to allow the South her constitutional rights."- Tbu is extreme folly. The Republicans do net desire to" deprive the South of single right that the Constitution giv ber. Come, Mr. Democrat, tell us what rights ynu refer to? Point them out, or cease your twaddle, for the time for mis reDresentatiou is nas-ed. The truth should only be told. The base and glar ing falsehoods that have been cast upon the Republican party, are beginning to make thetaeeJves felt in a fearful man ner. Had the truth only been told, a ve ry different state of things would be in existence. The Democrat says: "The united De mocratic party say the Union muat be Tirnfiprvcd at all hazard." fOno too r manv z there.) What do tbe Democrat wt ic states of Georgia, South Carolina, Al abama, Florida and Mississippi' say ? Are tbey for the Uuion T If the Breckin ridge wing of tbo Deniocraoy U for tbe Un ion, why did they in their late State Con vention pas resolutions against the Fed oral Government enforciog its laws I The tendency of their resolutions is .to rive aid sod comfort to the traitors. If the laws are not enforced, then tbe Re bels will be t liberty to do a they please. But ff they are enforced, the traitors will be crushed out. Tbe Breckinridgcrs eay, "don't enforce the laws;' and why do tbey thus say, except it be because their brother Breckinridgers in Soutii Caroli na, Georgia, Alabama, &c, wbo are in openrebellion against the Government, wWfd be interfered with in their suicidal efforts to destroy the Union I The lea ders of this Breckinridge Democracy are for the Union with a vengeance. The Democrat next tells u, "The fate of this Union now rests with tbe Repub licans;" and tbat it can be saied only by "eoHlpromi8e.,, Then who will destroy it, except the Breckinridge Democracy ? All other parties are for the Uuion with oat an if or a but. Mr. Democrat, if yoa wish to save the Uoion, bang' your De mocratic traitors who are endeavoring to destroy the (jrovernsteot, or make them' yield obedience to the Constitution and! the laws. Do this- and there' will be an end of traitors, and rebellion will cea-e. Ttej have iBB-ie all tbU trouble. Toj 5k them only can it be charged. But your loaders meet in Contention and resolve that the laws shall riot be'enforcod a- gainst tho traitors. As well might en who pretend to be honest, rosolyetnai me laws against thieves and robbers should not be enforced. Are your leaders anu the traitors working together to effect a common object! Next the Democrat sayB : 'MVo assure ihc Jeffersonian that all thedifficulties heretofore existing in tho -Democratic ranks have been amicably settled," and that tbey now are "united to do battle for the country." Now, Mr, Demoorat, we are very curious to know what tho eondi ton of your reunion was. Was it that you hould give aiJ and comfort to tho Rc bels, by resolving in Convention the enforcement of the laws agaio-t your brother Breckinridge tiaitorsT lathis the way you "amicably settled" your dif ficulties ! Is this the way the couutry is to be saved frooa ruin! No, Mr. Democrat, if you would save this hithorto glorious Confederacy, and discourage and frown down rebellion, come out with us and help nforce tbo laws and thereby put down and subdue the traitors. To compromise with the rebels at this time, would de clare them to bo conquerers, aud would te offering a premium for rebellion in the future, and would bo proclaiming to the world that we have a weak and trifling Government thot it is merely a rope of san'-i. neip iuu mtuimug ..v. ........ 1 tt i il :nnn.!n A .1 mltilstrn tration to blockade the ports so as to shut off the foreign trade of the rebel States, aud let them live quietly and alone, which will enable them to soon regain their lost senses, and be instrumental in again moulding Ihem into loyal citizens.

The Parent Mint. The Philadelphia Gazette "The lepo-its for January iu the United State Mint are the largest ever known, and those of this mouth are expected to cs ceed them in amount. During February the coinage will probably reach $9,000, 000. At the present time tbe Mint is un usually busy, but the ohief amounts re, cetved are froa England, in xovereigns and 'Rothschild's 6oe,'barn.' From 83,- 000,000 toSU),000,000 have been remit ted and transferred to tbo J-int from EuuUnd Mnce tbc scccsfion troubles, in exchange and payment for produce, cot ton, &o.
