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

those of this mouth are expected to cs

to admit him unless he pave bis name,
which he at once did, and such prestige
did the name carry that while Mr. Lin
coin was yet disrobed he granted an in
terview to tbe caller.
A prolonguod conversation elicited the
fact that an organized body ot men had
determined tbat Mr. Lincoln fhould not
be inaugurated, and that he should never
leave tbe city of Baltimore alive, if indeed
he ever entered it.

Statesmen laid the plan, bankers in
dorsed it, and adfenturers were to carry
it into effect. As they understood Mr.
Lincoln was to leave Harrisburg at 9 o'-
clock this morning by special train, and
tbe idea was, if possible, to throw the cars
from the road at some point where tiiey
would rush down a steep embankment
and destroy at a moment the lives of all

tbat tbis step was tbe result of an under

knowledge tbat the troops in Texas were
