If any ono citn dotilit, whnt we have re-pinti-illy asserted, flint tlicro is no genuine democratic party in existence, events now transpiring, ouglit ia convinco tliem of tlie fac t. It U well known Hint tlie whole enpi tul cf tho organization, now called the di-iii-tu'ratic party, is made up of tlie negro his g'.atus and right. Hence tho political capi ta! of these men is denunciation of negro "u.frage, and charges that tho Union party not only desire to equalize tho negro with the whiles, but to pu'.l down tho whites to a level with the negro. Sow all this is intended to cover up the barrenness of lliis pretended democracy, which lias not a single principle of true de mocracy left to rest upon. In proof of this wo might refer to the fact that in some of the States the democrats make no objection to negro suffrage and adopt it as patt of their creed. Besides, that question is not now nt issue, and it will bo lime enough to attend to that, when it comes up, properly, before the people. Coppecheadism is doom ed. Alieudy tho haudwriting appears on the wall. First conceived by Southern Se cessionists, it had been carefully nurtured by its friends in the North, who have succeeded in developing its principles to a fearful ex. tent by covering up its real designs, and imposing upon the credulous and ignorant In its strons hold, New York, it has rccciv. ed its first blow. Hon. John B. llaskiu?, chairman of the Committee on Resolutions in tho New York Democratic State Conveii Hon, in tho platform which ho drew up for that body, has repudiated tho whole tribe of Copperheads, and left there, "out in the cold." The New York Xeiet and the New York World, the leading copperhead organs, iuua in their denunciations of the Plat form, iu wbich 5j,., Haskins, in an exv' - tory letter says, he "avoi1.i me Bourbon VftlUndlgliuinism o'f tho Ohio, ' the Jerry 'JIack, Buchananism of the Pennsylvania, rail the Camden and Amboy Rip Van AVin ilcisru of tho New Jersey Democratic plat orm." This platform of the New York lemocracy, the New York Xewt say, is not nly in direct opposition to the Democratic latfortns of Pennsylvania, Ohio and New irsey, but its chairman is grossly insulting the democracy of these States in his lan unge. Mr. Haskins docs not intend his marks for tine democrats. But he is un. illing to consort and act any longer with uitors, and secessioni.ttn, under tho garb of jinocrac.y and therefore turns them out of ors, howling liko deiuuns, in despair. And iless honest Pennsylvania democrats do c same, the party will tink so low that ere will not be enough left, in a few years, give it a decent interment. IWWe call attention to Mr. McPurland's .ter in another column. Mr. McFarlaud a respectable and influential man, residing tho upper end ot tho county, lie was a ididate for Assembly on tho democratic ket, but not being ono of the ring. was ked off with an intimation that fop.in. must stand nsi.lo until it was convenient, en they might bo asked to tukc a front I, provided any wero vacant. Mr. Mc .lr.ud says that Mr. Tliarp, the nominee ho party; Wu3 one of the leading 'Know things" in tho palmy days of that order, seems to think that fact had something do in shoving both himself anil Mr. lespaeh, also a foreigner, afcide. .Mr. Viand nr.d Mr. Bidi IspatU have l.oth l slow iu discovering that the priscut so :d democratic party is made up printi v of veritable '-Know-Nothings" under lerent name.

It Ja not often we Hare an opportunity of voting for a mu so deserving and Meritorious. 'In the ever memorable summer of '01 we find him in the ranks of the now celebrated Seventh Pa.

While holdinif this imuorUut position he dtvoted himself untiriiifly to tho task of troiiiotiiiir. in cverv wav iu which his offi cial influence could be exerteA, tho tfficicn cy of the cavalry corps. The beneficial ef fitte of this iuilucnee were not oaly plainly observablo upon the dill'erent cavalry urbani zations, but wire f.lilistniitiiilly recognized by hij commanding Generals, and ueeml iugly in Dooember '01, he was cmnrirW.im ed Col. of his old Regt., the 7th Cav., upon the recommendation ot Gi:ii"s. Thouuis, Hooker, Wilson, SUuily. and U ranger. As Col. of the 7th helms won for himself the reputation of having been not only n gallant and efficient officer, but a prrlccc "r.lUi man, respected and beloved alike by hisnlii ccrs and men. After having participated in nil tho battles fought in the AWt frmu Kentucky to Georgia he crowned the gl"ry of his career at Sebr.a, when, at the luunl of his invincible Pennsylvaiiiam, l.';)iii;; the. grand cavalry charge upon the enemy j in treiichments, at the very moment of ietory he was struck and disabled by ft ritle ball which ho still cnrric3 in his leg, By his dashing courage nud skillful bundling of his command nt this sharp, bloody, but decisive battle, he was promoted to the position he held at the time of his discharge from the service, Brigadier General of Vol unteers. Can the voters of NorhumlerIand county refuse to honor a soldier for services socmiment? Can they hesitate to place confidence in n man who has proved him self so thoroughly a man? We hope and trust that for the honor and credit of oM Northumberland our next member of the Legislature may be Gen. Clius. C. McCor mick. -t?Tni; Soi.pieks. It is a lingular fact that tho democrats refuse t nominate sol diers in districts where tliere is any pros pect of being elected. The nominations of Davis and Linton for State offices of Auditor General and Surveyor General aro no ex ception. They had not the remotest idea that they would be elected, Rnd set them up as so much capital for genuine copperheads, who are running for tho offices in strong democratic counties. .The soldiers, how ever, understand this game of "heads yon lose and tails I win" and will be alio to ap preciate their kindness. l:i?"Gold has been at ft stand of 1.43 to 1.44 for somo time.

C, which is the '-accredited organ of the Bishop of Texas, .Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, Teoi usee and Arkansas," urges i IU tuim tcr of Sept. 14, an immediate return of all the dioceses to the Episcopal Church of the United States, and the sending of delegates tw tlto General Convention which is to meet nt Philadelphia on tho 4th of October. Only one or two weeks ago this paper recommend ed, in accordance with the plan proposed by Bishop Elliot of Georgia, not to take biiv decisive steps toward the reunion until the meeting of the "General Council of tho Proteatoot EiMscopol Church In the Con federate States," whicli was appointed to meet in November. Now it has changed its mind, and to the question, When shall we mum I it gives the inphatM3 reply, "At tho forthcoming Convention to assemble in October," It discovers nt present a general yearning for reunion, and therefore deems it necessary to "strike while tho iron's hot," because three years hence, by the timo of the n?xt General Convention of the Church, the hearts of the churchmen. North nnd South, miirht possibly bo "alienated from each other by wrongs, real or ideal." Finally, it expects, if the reunion bo made now, that "the Church will prosper, especially in the South, to a degree that is not now dreamed of, even by the most sauguiue of her chil dren." This feopo of a large iiKTeaso of the Episcopal Church in case ot reunion, is I'oiiiuli'ii intern the well-known determination t te ultra pro-Slavery portion in the other rclx'iou (linnmiiintioiit. under no condi- reliiiious denominations, under no condi tiiyi to assent to n reunion with their anti Slavery brethern of the same faith in the I North : but in case of a predominence oft he Union tendencies, rather to seek refuge in the Protestant Episcopal Church, which alone they reswct as being free from the suspicion of anti-Slavery. Thus we have learned, from trustworthy authority, that when, somo months ago, several of the Sontliern Methodist Bishops, including even Bishop Andrew (of Georgia) were ready with a reunion with the Nortli- ii u illetliotlists, a prominent minister ol Georgia Ihrentencd, in such a case, to curry )Vc.r tj,e Mc-t4lit3 of Georgia to the Pro- tctant Episcopal Church. There are many other indications that the hopcot the South ern Episcopalians to receive, iu case of re union, largo accessions from the other Southern communions, will be realized. According to the organization of the Protestant Episcopal Church, those of the freedmen who are members of that church vail, in case of it reunion, be under the nbs'i liHe jurisdiction of tho Southern Bishops, and unless the opinions of these shall ureal ly change, the colored Episcopalians w ill long remain without those rights in church ami school which the followers of other persua sions haw it iu their power" to ubtaiu as soon as they choose. The Southern Methodists, in accordance Willi ttm XnPHUt IVuffirtil I.itti.i- nf tlnni more than one third of thu entire member ship, are leaving them as rapidly as they cun secure tho services of either Northern or colored ministers. As regards the white membership, the example of the loyal East Tciwicsstcaiis, who in June, to the nuuibcr of (1,000, separated, from the Rebel church, and constituted the Holston Annual Con- . ference of the M.

Tho samo result is expected in Texas. ! where the loyal ministers are likely to leave the pro-Slavery Church and organize ono or two Conferences of tho M. E. Church. These new congregations of thu Metho dist mid other anti-Slavery churches will bo the nucleus of an anti-Slavery and thorough ly Union party in tho South, und on that account, these church movements are of the utmost importance, olso, from a national point of view.

He is an inflexible and tenacious man, who, having wed a staunch battle, is not likely to be defrauded of the fruits of it. Hitherto lie has exercised his power with ett tiutuke or faulu, and his willingness to facilitate a junction be tween the Republicans and the Democrats, it is an evidence of his determination to perseveri in his grand object of reorganizing the South, which can only be done by peace in the North.

On Thursday last, an unusual and quite romantic incident occurred at the White House among the squad of pardon seekers there. The suppliants were waiting around as yoar correspondent D. D. described a few day ago, and nmoM others were two per sons, a closely-veiled young lady and a gen tleman somewhat bronzed (a rebel soldier once, quite likely), with a heavy beard and a careless dress They had not paid any attention to each other during the hour or two they had been so near, nnd would not havo done so for All coining time had it not been for the usher. He came with a docu ment and in a sharp tono called out tho name superscribed on its envelope. It was a prominent one once in Georgia and was familiar to most of the tars upon which its tones fell. The gentlemen, with an air of pleasure, stepped forward to take it, when a lady, with a little scream, pressed forward and clasped him tightly in her arms. Ho nt first seemed surprised by such an unwonted proceeding, but when she several times ex citedly asked "Don't you know Jessie?" "Don t you know Jessie! ' "oa can t have forgotten me in such a short time," nnd re moved her veil to show u fresh, piquant pretty face. Recognition was instant, and with the one word "sister,1 ho was quite as demonstrative as ho had been before. "Why, Jessie, what are you doing here?' he asked. "I nm here for father; he is very very sick," she said, with a little elision of tho""r," and n sob. "But he wants to die, a citizen of the Union again." The young mnn seemed affected, but in the new found joy of meeting a sister long lost, the cloud that time did not darken his heart. A few moments after she also re ceived the grant of her application. It seems that the young man went out early in tho war as major of a Confederate i regiment. He was taken prisoner in a skir mish just after BuH Run, nnd spent two years in a Northern prison. Returning to scrvwr, the cause f the "Conl'i'di-Tary" mvd- i en nil I lie men lor support it couiii oinain and ho was lorced to stay in the ranks.

TO KOIti:i4iKItN. An article in the Nurtliuiiiljerlan.l County Demnerut, of last week, entitletl "Tlio Foreigner," deserves a pitesing mil ico. It speak of "one or two stool pigeons, who liuvc been bought up, or whut is worse, diiied into the arrangement, &c. I will not take exception to Mr. l'unly's ttmidard of morality profitably learned, no doubt, dur ing bis brief legislative career nt llanis burg and care not w hether lie thinks it is better to be bribed tbnn to be dujiul, but content myself with saying that it ii false that I have been either bought or duped. But as I have openly expressed my disatibfac tion with the present nominee for Assembly. Mr. Tharp, (which I have a perfect right to do under a free government) I have doubt that the editor of that paper intecded a portion of the remarks for mysel I will not, at this time, ijuarrel with the abtute editor of the Dcmoerat-ii'to which party is most favorable to my countrymen, or those of' other hinds, but this I will say, that when 1 see such men -as Carl, Sliurz, Francis 8ige1, Thos. h Meagher, Col. Cor coran, Harvey and others, appointed to tho highest civil anil military positions under a Republican administration, and reflect that two of my countrymen, and Mr. Bidet spach, a German by birth, candidates before the democracy ot xtorinumoerianu coun ty, all of whom were defeated at the pri mary election, or compeiieu io wituuraw, and as I verily believe, for no other cause than this: that they are loreigners iy oinn. I do not see that Mr. Purdy and his friends have much to reproach his opponents for upon that score. urtlier, it is universally Known mat Mr. Tliarp, tho nominee of the democratic party, a few years ago, was at the head and front of tho "Know Nothing" purty In this coun ty, and voted for and supported its candi dates for office i and as that party is now dead an 1 buried, we can only bold individ ual members of that, defunct organization responsible. 1 therefore, in conjuction with Mr. Purdv. most solemnly warn my dem ocratic friends against supporting a man like Mr. Tliarp, who conies before the pen plo with all the taint nf ancvent Know Nothingism fresh upon his garments I Tho efforts nf tho leaders of -the Demo cratic party to defeat me for the nomina tion, because I was ft foreigner, and when that failed, the additional falsehood, that I I was a Roman Catholic, ami the angry ex pression by the nominee (Mr. Tliarp) on the morning ol the luceiing oi uie reiurncu judges, in chagrin at his then supposed de feat, that "I suppose I am defeated by the Dutch." contr s. very strangely with Mr. Purdy s and hi friend's- profusions of lo" for foreigners, tllhcr lrisn in C.riv,i;;, nnu looks very much as if they rared nothing about them except to get their votes ! I also charge said nominee with having changed his politics within the last five years, and, as I verilv believe, for no other reason than to get into office; and having' repeated I v tried such men iu our party and been disappointed, I advise all honest dem- j ccrats to beware lest they are deceived : ! again.
