COURT WEEK-A PROPOSITION
Next week Court begins in this place,
and it will afford our subscribers an excel.
lent opportunity to "step up to the Cap.
Min's office and settle" their accounts, and
we trust every one nftheas will improve the
occasion by remembering the Printer. A
great many have paid nothing for nearly
two years and a half, and can righteously
be charged TWO DOLLARS a year ac
cording to our terms; but such is our need,
Of money and such our anxiety to get it,
that we propose to take ONE DOLLAR
iti.ND FIFTY CENTS from all subscribers
who will pay us for three ,yeary subscrip—
tion, or $4.50. ."A trifle saved is as good
Eke that much earned," and here is a chance
to save $1.50 on the three years' subscrip
tion. This offer will remain open until
after Court. Let all Temerober,it.
THE PRFAII,IENT JUDGESHIP
We are gratified to : learn, from various
portions of this Judicial District, that tile
Democracy are singularly unanimous in
their support of our popular and talented
candidate for the Judgeship, Jame.s
SEY, Esq., and his election is therefore very
properly regarded as a "foregone
,conclu
sion." This will be welcome news to the
hosts of Mr. LINDSEY'S friends who know
him to be admirably qualified . for the po
sition, and who know' he will discharge its
delicate and responsible duties with the
strictestiustice arid impartiality. Few men
of his years have bad larger professional ex
perience, or can lay claim to greater legal
acumen or attainments, and none could
bring to the administration of this high of.
tice a more sincere desire to do right or a
higher appreciation of its difficult and fin..
portant functions.
In supporting Mr. LINDSEY, neither his
friends nor ourselves have any disposition
to find fault with his distinguished com
petitor. We cheerfully concede to him
many excellent qualities of head and heart,
and great learning in the line.of his profes
sion. But no man in the State or county
has less claim upon the support of the
Democratic masses than Mr. Yuen, and
certainly no o;:- has labored longer or hard
er than he for the overthrow of Democrat.-
lc doctrines and policy, and the de; eat of
Democratic candidates for any and every
office. His has been no half-hearted oppo
sition: it has been zealous, earnest and per
!disked ; and we risk nothing in baying it
will only cease with his life. We do not
complain of this obstinate and exclusive op
position : itideed there is much in it to
commend ifit is honest, and this is a 9ues
we leave with Mr, IrEEcu's judgement and
conscience, where it properly belongs, But

their organization, if Mr. Vzscu is not bad

One consideration, in Mr. LINDSEY'S fa-
TV, should have great weight with the vo.
',era of the District; and that is, that Greene
county has never had a presOeyif Jlsdge.

nit times presenting at her Bar a fine array

ren throughout the District will cheerfully

too, the coming term.

THE LATE MAJ. JOHN IRONS
We paid a visit, not lung since, to the
grave of this able and excellent man, our
esteemed relative and our preceptor in the
printing business, whose memory we ven
erate in common with all who knew him
intima rely and well. And if we did not
gather there a new devotion to the great
p r inciples of Democratic truth and liberty,
we do not know our own heart. Incor
ruptible in integrity either as a man or a
politician, zealous and utterly forgetful of
self in his labors for the glorious old party
with which he was identified and to which
he gave the beat energies of his life and
mind,—perfectly fearless and independent
in his course and direct in all his purposes,
invariably discarding expediency where
principle was imperilled, there is much in
the example ofauch a man as JOHN Norm
to render it worthy of emulation. Pure,
too, as a child in his private and family
relations, generous but unobtrusive in his
charities, and firm and nobly disinterested
in his friendships, is it matter of surprise,
that though long lost to us, his memory
should still be green in our souls 1 If he
had faults, they are the inheritance of our
common humanity; and did little to mar
the symmetry at his character. Indeed,
"his very foibles leaned to virtue's able."
It is well, occasionally, to go to the graves
of our dead. It is a place for reflection,
for tender recollections, instructive lessons
and new resolves. And there, as well as
by the-couch where "mortal suffering ex
changes earth for Heaven," we may learn
the value of the steadfast hopes and bles
sed assurances of the Christian faith, as
well as the consoling truth that the memory
of the good shall not perish. Over the re
mains of our departed friend, his Masonic
brethren, by whom he was greatly beloved,
and of whose fraternity he was a distin
guished member, have erected a beautiful
marble shaft, bearing the following in
scription •—.

It will be seen, by a card on the outside
of to-day's paper, that our late predeces.
sor on the editorial tripod, J. G. RITCHIE,
Esq., has effected a partnerstiip with one
of our ablest and most successful Attorneys,
A. A. PintmAN, Esq., and will henceforth
devote himself to the practice of the law in
this and adjoining counties. Mr. RITCHIE
is a young gentleman of decided talent, is
well versed in the law, and we doubt pot
will command a success commensurate
with his acknowledged worth and deserv
ings. We ardently :hope he may run a
long career of honorsand usefulness.
Of Mr. NIEMAN it is useless to speak ko
this community, where his ability, untiring
energy and thorough acquaintance with
his profession have made him one of the
foremost members of our Bar.
FRIENDLY GREETINGS.
W e are indebted to several cotempora ries
for flattering and kindly welcomes to the

the well wishes of our brethren of the

"NEWSPAPER CHANGE.--By some unfor
tunate mistake we did not receive a
Waynesburg Messenger last week, but have
learned from private sources that Mr.
RITCHIE is superceded in that "institution"
by our old friend and tellow sinner, Col. K.
W. JONES. Whilst we regret to part with
Mr. RITCHIE, we most heartily congratulate
Col. Rages upon his return to the fraterni

We are happy to inform Bro. Huai) that
our mutual friend, PAULEY, is still growing

at least, seems to aety the "tooth of time
and razor of oblivion."
Speeches ets the War.
We are called on, every week, to publish
lengthy speeches of Holt, Vallandingham,
and others on the War. If we printed
all we are asked to publish in this line, we
would have little ofno space left for other
matter, and would be subjected to general
fault-finding at the hands of the great mass
of our readers who look for the usual va
riety every week. This is our only reason
for not complying with the requests of our
friends, in publishing lengthy speeches,
and we trust it will be satisfactory.
We cordially approve the Union senti -
amnia of Mr. BOLT, and are first, last and
always fur sustaining the Government, the
Constitution and the Laws.
POLITICAL AND FIGHTING PAR.,
SONS.
There is scarcely, at this time, a town or
hamlet in the country, much less city, that
is not favored with the ministrations of
one or more political and bellicose parsons.
The mania for political and belligerent ser
monizing, originating with the Putters
and Beechers of the North, has spread
over the entire South, and is now confined
to no particular locality. The weightier
and more practical matters of personal sin
and salvation are everywhere comparative
ly overlooked and neglected, and the Pul
pit in both sections are consecrating their
best efforts, not to the work of restoring
peace td a distracted and suffering country,
but to the less appropriate and less godly
employment of exciting and teeding sec
tional animosities, and stirring men up to
deeds of carnage and of blood. To us,
however it may appear to others, there is
much to deplore and little to commend in
this strange attitude and these still stranger
proceedings of the ministry of the Gospel
of peace. While we concede to preachers
of the Gospel, as to all other men, perfect
freedom of opinion in all matters of political
concern, and expect them to feel a becom
ing interest in the result of the pending
struggle for the preservation of the gov
ernment and unity of the country, we at
the same time see no propriety or necessity
for their preaching politics from Me pulpit,
or for their laying aside the functions of
their sacred and exalted office, as they
have done in many instances, to take up
the weapons of a very different warfare
from that•whieh they are called to wage.
But it they must and will go to war, in
God's name let them go as messengers et
peace and mercy, as exemplars of the
spirit and teachers of the precepts of the
Gospel of "good will," and let them ad
minister freely of its Divine consolations
to the sick, the suffering and the dying.—
This is their duty and their special prov
ince, and it would rejoice us to see them
testifying, in this most appropriate way,
their devotion to the holy cause in which
they are commanded to "spend ana be
spent."
We cannot resist the temptation to pub
lish a deserved rebuke to ministers who
neglect tbeir duties to "dabble in the dirty
pool of politics," and to excite and pro
long angry and bloody strife among these
who ought to be brethren, as they are de
scendants of a common ancestry and in
heritors and custodians of the best govern
ment God ever gave to men. The article
is from a loyal Southern paper, the houis
vile (Ky.) Democrat, and we trust it may
be extensively read, both North and South,
and do much to correct the evil of which
it complains:—
"A Holy Being once descended from
heaven to make known the will of God to
man. His coming was announced try
hosts of angels, who sang, "Glory to God
in the Highest , and on earth peace, good
will toward men." In all the words and
acts of this Great Being appeared the
spirit of peace and good will. When re
viled, he reviled not again. "Blessed ate
the peace makers," said he, "tor they
shall be called the children of God."—
When he was betrayed into the hands ot
his enemies, one of his followers drew his
sword and cut off the ear of one of the
band that had corneie - Seise him. 'Put up
thy sword," saidhe, and he immediately
healed the wound. While suff er i ng th e
agonies of a cruel death un the cross, he
prayed earnestly that his enemies might be
forgiven. His kingdom was not of this
world, and before the objects of his mis
sion every earthly interest shrank into in
significance.
Nearly nineteen hundred years have
passed away since his appearance, and his
divine mission is acknowledged in all the
most enlightened portions ot the world.—
When we approach a great city, we see,
towering above everything else the spires
that crown the temples dedicated to Him;
we find the buildings adorned with all the
beauty that the skill of the architect can
bestow. If we enter one ot them at the
proper time, we can hear the music of the
organ rtsieg like " a stream of rich, distill
ed perfume," accompanying words of i
thanksgiving tor heaven's message of
peace and good will. In the most conspi
cuous place is one who claims to be an
embassador of the Prince of Peace; and
when he rises you expect to hear from
his lips the words of meekness, peace, and
charity. But listen ! After he has laid
aside a few preliminaries, he rushes into
the most violent denunciations. Pride and
hate quiver on his lip, and storm in his
eye. He cries, "To arms !" with a tone
R( fury that makes you ask if you are not
in a temple dedicated to Mars and Woden.
you retire from this house, and enter ano
ther is time to bear the preacher talk in
ffippatit and jesting tones of guns, and
wounds, an 4 blood. "When you see a
rattai l " he will tell you, "pray for ttie seal,
if you have tiniebut tail not to kill him,"
This Oats seeming to you like the tem
p!!! of Nfoloph,you withdraw and make
your way to another: Here at last you
feel that you have found a genuine embas
gador of the Prince of Peace. He uses
the very words of his Master as he sets
torth the worth of the soul, and urges man
to obey the divine commands. Here you
are sure that you have found one who is
imbued with the spirit of his master: one
whose peaceful presence tends to calm the
stormy passions.; one who yields a ready
obedience to the laws of God and of his
country; one whose counsels will serve
to strengthen you, and whose example it
will be safe to follow. You walk behind
the holy man, and at the next corner over
hear him preaching rebellion and treas
on. and expressing the wish that he could
dye his hands in rhe blood of the support
ers of his government. On the steamboat
you hear him, not speaking the words of
peace in the meek spirit of his divine mas
ter, but stirring up strife in loudmouthed
and brawling tones.
If one of the apostles could revisit the
earth, he would wonder what sect of pa
gans had stolen the Christian name. In
some places he would suppose himself to
be looking at the luperealia. "These men,"
he would say, "are probably the priests of
Mars, but how is it that they call them.
selves Christians! Have they killed all
the Christians, and stolen their name ?
There% some terrible mystery a b out this
thing. They have none of the character
istics of Christ and his followers, and why
should they want the name !
the reverend Doctor Sacheverell, in
the time of Queen Anne, threw the whole
kingdom of Great Britain into the most
violetit ferment by preaching on politics,
and was ordered by Parliament not to
preach for three years. The reverend
Doctor strutted and bellowed out of the
pulpit for three years, and then strutted
and bellowed in the pulpit again. In the
violent political agitation of the time, the
clergy were the most violent. They damn.
ed each other in the most remorseless man
ner, and set the whole nation to damning;
till, at last, the Government was obliged to
prohibit them from preaching political ser
mons. A prohibition of the same kind
would have a great tendency to restore
peace in our country. We have Sache
verells in abundance on both sides, who
groan to be suppressed, and for whose
sake we could almost vote fora "strong"
government. The Beechers and Cheevers
and Ty ngs are not coufined to the North.
Some men on each side have boasted of
the number of clergymen on their side that
have become military commanders, as if
that circumstance were an indorsement of
the holiness of their cause. The enlist
ment of the clergy is no credit to them, no
matter on which side they are engaged.—
They had enlisted in the service of One
higher than any earthly commander, and
their conduct is a base desertion of His
cause. The Right Reverend Father in God.
Major General Bishop Leonidas Polk, D.
D., is a man whom the world wilt hereaf
ter •willingly let die.' And there are several
others whom the world will, without tears,
permit to go through the same operation.
In future years the pulpits will resound
with lamentations over the progress of in
fidelity; and the preachers will see an
abundant harvest springing up from the very
seed which they themselves have sown.'

Apology.
We owe art apology to our readers for
The bad appearance of the outside of this
week's paper. his owing altogether to the
wretched bad quality of a keg of printing
ink we received a few days ago. We are
using a much better article now, however.
JAMES LINDSEY ESQ.
We clip the following paragraph from
last week's "Genius of Liberty :"
Jssirs Litinsev - , Esq.—Mr. Lindsey, our
able and popular candidate for President
Judge, has been in town this week. and
hos=t of friends, all who have had the plea,
sure of forming his acquaintance, seem de'
lighted with the man; and as his ability
and qualifications for the honorable and
responsible position for which he has been
nominated, are conceded, we now more
than evir predict his election by an over
whelming majority. He has certainly made
a most favorable impression among our
people.
rif'The last "Brownsville Times" con.
tains a Uniontown letter from the Editor
making the following mention of Mr. Lind
sey:
"James Lindsey, Esq., of Waynesburg.
our very worthy candidate for Presid.ent
Judge, is here. We had the pleasure to•
day of partaking an excellent dinner with
him, and a number of friends, at Thorn.
dell's Hotel. Mr. Lindsey's fine social
qualities win him friends wherever he
goes."
Read and Remember It.
There is a great deal of sound sense in
the following advice. We take it from
one of the Democratic journals in the neigh
boring county of Westmoreland
A Few KIND WORDS TO DIII4OCILATS.-
Keep calm in the present excited state of
the public mind and avoid all heated ar
guments with unreasonable men. Give a
generous support to the war and sustain
the National 44ministration on putting
down rebellion. It is your clear duty to
uphold the government under which you
live and to throw no obstacles in the way
of a successful prosecution of the war. Pre
serve your temper and show by your acts
as welt as by your words that - you are a
true Union man.
A FEW KIND WORDS TO REPUBLICANS.—
When you know that a Democrat openly
and squarely supports tha government,
don't denounce him as a " secessionist."
Treat with respect and kindness all who
do their duty as loyal citizens. A kind
word will g o farther than a kick. Discou
rage mob law at all times. Keep your
radical opinions on slavery, if you have
any, to yourself. Fierce expressions do
no good.
So far as the war is concerned, let us all
stand on the broad platform of the Union.
the Constitution and the Lams, and the iv
pression of *hellion !
rSupport the Government.
" tarn for supporting the government.
Ido not ask who administers n. It is the
government of my country, and as such I.
shall give it, in this extrentity, all the sup•
port in my power. I regard the pending
contest with Secessionists as a death strug
gle for Constitutional Liberty and Law."
—John 1. Dix.
These are the sentiments of Hon. knot
A. Dix, a member of Mr. Bucnsivsn's
Cabinet, now a Major General in the ar
my, and the sentiments of the entire
Democratic party of the North. The
Democratic party will stand by the Union;
and the Republican party, much as they
would like it, cannot drive them from their
loyalty by calling them "traitors." The
Republicans may as well give up calling
hard names. We must mutually assist one
another in putting down this rebellion,
and when that is accomplished we can
look over the battle fields and see, in this,
1 as in every other war in which our coon.
try has engaged, who have done the fight
ing and who have been the "traitors."
The Democracy
How manly and magnanimous is the
following from the New York Times (Re
publican,) when compared with the
groveling partisan bigotry of some per
sons, as well as some papers, here—
bouts :
"It would have been easy, perhaps,
for the democratic masses of the tree
States to have overthrown the government
and permanently dissevered the Union,
by refusing to support Mr. Lincoln when
his inauguration was menaced, and when,
later, the supremacy of the constitution
was assailed by the practical assertion of
the right of secession. But the Democ
racy did not so read their honor or their
safety. They loved their country more
than party • and in Mr. Lincoln they saw,
not the successful partisan candidate, but
the constitutional President of the United
States. And, therefore. they supported him
—not grudgingly, but heartily—as earnest.
ly and zealously, in fact, as if,he had been
their own party leader i n the canvass that
preceded his election.
The Corruption of the Administration
The Chicago Tribune, the leading Re
publican paper of Illinois, under the cap
tion of "Army Contract Frauds," speaks
as follows :
Che Special Committee of the House
on the frauds in the army contracts, has
asked and obtained the fullest extension
of its power so as to include not only the
contracts that have been made, but any
that may be made hereafter in any depart
ment of the service connected with the
war. Mr. VAN WYcK, chairman, says that
the committee find that in the past two
months there has been an amount of fraud
in Mr. Cameron's department “unparalleled
its the history of the country." We have
no doubt ofit, and when their report shall
be made to Congress next winter, it will
cover with a cloak of comparative respec—
tability the boldest exploits of Mr. Cam
eron's predecessor in the office. Mr.
Floyd ought to feel deeply gratified to the
Pennsylvania Secretary for the services he
has rendered his reputation in this respect,
unless, indeed, he should feel jealous of
him."
WILL. A. A. F.A.Torr, the editor of the
Greenfield (0.) Republican, has resigned
his position as editor of that paper and is
going to war. Amon g Ills reasons for so
doing, he gives the following :
•There are men in this community who
have charged us with sympathizing with
the South— and, that, too, because we dare
to say that a Democrat could be, and is just as
good a Union man as a Republican. And
rather than have the name of being a trai
tor, we ingly lay down our life, if needs
be, four country. :Vill they do this !
D they do it! No—they are- cowards,
and looked upon as such by the patriots of
this community. We favor a vi g orous
prosecution of the war—we want to see it
brought to a close-- and it, as some have
prop 3sed, a National Convention is called,
we favor an honorable compromise ; for
we had better make a little sacrifice of our
political principles than have the whole
country ruined."
Pemocrats may fight the battles, but if
they are not willing to say that Luveotal
is as wise as SOLOMON, and that CAMERON
is an honest Ivan, or that Lovz.rov,
sos, Oppirigs & Co., are not Abolitionists
and ffee trout blame for our troubles, they
are not loyal ! This is the Republican
standard of patriotism !
party Issues and the Union.
There seems, says the Carlisle Volunteer,
to be a great desire at present by the Re
publican leaders throughout the entire
country to have all party issues dropped.
And in order to screen their misdeeds from
a scrutinizing public, they propose to
form a grand Union party out of the disor
ganized hitherto disunion party, and what
they can draw off the Democratic organi
zation, which has always been for the
Union. Democrats will always insist up.
on the distinction between the Govern
ment and theßepublican party. As Demo.
crate and good citzens, it is their duty,
which they will never fail to perform, to
sdpport the Government, but "they will
never cease to war upon the dominant
party until it is swept from power."—
They can do no better now than abjure
their abolition and fanaticism, and fall in
to the the ranks of the good old Democrat
ic party, that has ever stood up for our
country, its institution and laws. and has
never changed is name. Some party must
manage the Government, and all exper
ience shows that the Dirnocratic party
alone can do it.
"A Perfect Brick."
The chap mentioned in the paragraph
