Wednesday, Feb. 26, 1862.
Subscribers in the West.
We have a large number of subscribers
in the West to whom we sent accounts sever-
al months ago, and who have, as yet, given
t hem no attention. Will those who have
not remitted the amount due us, be good
enough to forward it by mail, at our risk,
without further delay ? We need the
money to meet our obligations, and ought
to have it at once
THE MANY AND THE FEW.
The only difference between govern
ments lies in the consideration they re
spectively give the many and the few.
Monarchies are based upon the assumption
that the Almighty has made one class of
men better than others,—that the masses
are borne to serve, while the few come into
the world, "booted and spurred," to "ride
them legitimately, by the grace of God."—
Republica are built upon other and radical
ly different doctrines and ideas. They
recognize and assert the national equality
ofthe people, and their right to select their
own rulers and make their own laws. The
welfare and happiness of the masses, the
"greatest good of the greatest number,"
constitute the aim of democratic govern
ments, and not the grandeur and advantage
of (what are too often,) the pretentious and
arbitrary few. As a matter of course, gov
ernments predicated upon such different
theories are 'necessarily antagonistic ; and
to this fact, and to none other, we attrib
ute the hostility of European despotisms
to American institutions. Hence their
sympathy with the present unrighteous
Rebellion, and their anxiety for its suc
cess. They are willing to seize upon any
pretext for interfering in the struggle, and
are, apparently, only waiting for an oppor
tunity which will afford theme reasonable
prospect of success to engage them in the
unholy undertaking. Forgetful of every
principle of right and justice which
should govern the intercourse of Christian
nations, we may expect England and
France to form an alliance ostensibly to
break up the blockade and supply them
selves with Cotton, but really to prevent a
reconstruction of the Union. With the
overthrow of this Union would perish the
cause of free government on this continent ;
and with it would also terminate, in
great measure, our career of happiness
and greatness as a nation. For it is to
this Union we are indebted as well for our
unexampled prosperity at home as for our
dignity and influence abroad.
What complications British and French
interference in our affairs might lead to,
time alone can determine ;• but if it result
ed in involving all the great Powers of
Cristendom in the struggle, we would be
neither astonished or disappointed.
JOLLIFICATION AND SERENADE.
The recent gratifying successes of our
arms in Kentwity and Tennessee have
kindled the patriotic ardor of our citizens
of all parties and all opinions. Everybody
that loves the Union and Constitution of
our fathers (and who does not?) has been
thanking Heaven and fortune for the sig
nal triumphs that have attended our gal
lant lads in the Southwest, and all rejoice
'in hope of an early and signal overthrow of
Southern treason and folly. Our inimita
ble "Martial Band," headed by the incom
parable TEMPLE, greeted the public ear on
Tuesday Evening last with a score of
their happiest and liveliest tunes, and
among others paid congratulatory visits to
the Editors of the "Messenger," discours
ing under our "roof-trees" in capital style,
the "Star-Spangled Banner," "Hail Co
lumbia" and a multitude of soul•stirring
airs. For their compliment we need not
thank them,—they know our hearts are with
them, as they are with the country of our
birth, of our hopes and of our love.—
"Liberty and Union—now and forever--
one and inseparable."
REASON OF TEE INVASION.
The real object of the invasion of Mex
ico by the allied powers begins to leak out.
The London Times' Mexican correspond
ent writes : "A dictator for eight or ten
years, supported by a foreign force, might,
perhaps, meet the case. Still this would
be but a temporary expedient. A monarchy
established, the pretensions of all these
petty chiefs are at once and forever dispo
sed of, the tranquility 01 the country is
insured. anda.chesk put to the democratic am
bition of the North."
1S We have noticed a great many
',propositions in Congress for reducing the
expenses of Government and increasing
the revenues, but not a single member has
yet given evidence of disinterested patriot
klM enonOt :to move a reduction of the
salaries in that body. The people believe
that economy, like charity, should begin
at home. Refore_the Senators and Repre

EXOITING AID OREEBING IFEWB:-1
The details of the capture of Fort Don
elson, and the "bagging" of 15,000 Reb
els, including Gene. Johnston and Buck
ner, will be found in our news columns.
The intelligence gladdens the heart of
every patriot, and will greatly strength
en the Union cause in Kentucky and
Tennessee. A few more such brilliant
achievements by the gallant soldiers of the
Republic will completely dishearten Davis
and his fellow-conspirators, and will effect
ually crush out the Rebellion. So mote it
be
AUDITOR GENERAL.
The Editor of the "Genius of Liberty"
thus chronicles his first meeting with "Lit
tle Greene's" candidate for the Auditor
Generalship. As he says nothing about
his "good looks," we presume Brother
Roddy is a poor judge of beauty, especially
of the finer types. Aside from appearances,
however, Mr. PAULEY has substantial
claims to a nomination, and we have
every reason to believe will be put for
ward as one of our standard-bearers in the
next canvass. If he is, the Democratic
thunder in this locality will be very loud
about the 2d Tuesday of October.
W. T. H. PAITLEY.
"We lately had the pleasure for the first
time, of meeting with Mr. Pauley, the ex
editor of the Waynesburg Messenger, who
is now strongly urged as a candidate for
Auditor General, and if nominated would
make a formidable candidate. The claims
of Greene Co. and the fitness of Mr. Pauley
for the position have already been laid be
fore our readers, and so far as we can judge
the prospects of Mr. Pauley are very en
couraging.
,-The Waynesburg Messenger names
Col. W. T. H. Pauley, of Greene county,
as the Democratic candidate for Auditor
General.—Columbia Democrat.
,a-And why don't Col. Tate "second the
motion?" Has he any better man in his
"neck of woods?" If so, why don't he
trot him out?
Z We want one new subscriber, a
sound Union and Constitution loving man,
to take the place of a ranting Abolitionized
Black Republican, who has discontinued
the Democrat. We must have the new
subscriber soon, or the Democrat will go to
smash. Who will he be ?—Greensburg
Democrat.
jpiir•We want one on the same account.
Who speaks first, and "are you all done,"
gentlemen?
THE CONTRACT FRAUDS.
In consequence of the alleged corrup
tions which has been exposed by the Com
mittees of Congress, in the Quartermaster
and Commissary Departments in New
York and Philadelphia, the Secretary of
War has determined that hereafter con
tracts will be given out in Washington.—
No more private contracts will be made,
but everything will be advertised and
awarded to the lowest bidder. The Secre
tary of War is determined to give this
plan a fair trial. It is stated that twenty
five thousand coats made in Philadelphia
and New York for the army have just been
condemned.
We trust, Dir. STANTON will go on in his
good work of reform. The country goes
with him, sustains him, and will remem
ber him with gratitude. The past presents
an abyss of horror. The fraud, the cor
ruption, i• of such a startling character
that the country stands aghast. Let re
form go on, let punishment he meted out,
let who will suffer.
serso says our republican neighbors of
t he Pittsburgh Gazette, and it's all very
wise and well, but why didn't they speak
out a little sooner, and while their polit
ical idol, Mr. CAmsaoN, had charge of the
Department? They had nothing to say in
rebuke of the dirty work while it was
going on, but now that it's all over, and the
leaks are being stopped by an honest Dem
ocrat, they roll their eyes about in tragic
horror and lift up their hands in pious as
tonishment at the stupendous villainies of
their partizan friends, as if they had been
living all this while in utter ignorance of
their misdeeds ! If this is not "cool," re
freshingly cool, we are no judge of impu
dence. The Gazette can take our "tile."
THE STORY OF CORRUPTION.
The Government Contract Investigation
Committee continue to unearth the vile
transactions by which the United States
Treasury has been robbed:
They discover that the same horses have
been twice sold to the Government ; super
intendents and inspectors have been bribed
to certify to horses, sometimes selling
them to private individuals ; that the
enormous amount paid by the War De
partment for transportation has induced
strong competition among railroad com
panies, and that many Colonels in the
West. moving their regiments East, have
received each from $1,500 to $2,000 bonus;
that some sutlers are making $3,000 profits
per month ; that nearly all the sutlers
south of the Potomac sell liquor, with the
knowledge of the officers.
BBEOICINRIDGE'S POSITION.
That notorious traitor, John C. Breckin
ridge, late Vice President of the United
States, is a candidate for a seat in the
Confederate Congress. He has published
an address to the people of Kentucky, an
nouncing his candidacy, in which he "de
fines his position" thus :—"I am utterly
opposed to a reconstruction of the old
Government, or any measure which in the
remotest degree tends in that direction.—
For one, I shall never consent that peace:
shall be made until the very last of all
the enemies of our liberty shall be driven
from our hallowed soil, but from every
foot of territory which, by its geographi
cal positions, naturally belongs to the
South." .
A GENEROUS GUT.
We see by an exchange that the mer
chants of Chicago have presented to an
editor of that city, a thousand dollars'
worth of printing paper, as a New Year's
gift. We have a strong inclination to
move to that country. gditors are evi

AYE OP STEPHEN £ DOUGLAS.
Hon. Joesrs A. WRIGHT, of Indiana,
pronounced an eloquent Eulogy on the la
mented DOUGLAS in the State House at In
dianapolis on the Bth of January. It was
a just and merited tribute to one of the
ablest and boldest statesmen of his time
and country, and one of the purest patri
ots. It concludes by the following allusion
to the grave, the family and circumstances
of the illustrious dead:—
"I stood, not long since, by the grave of
Douglas. There was hardly a rude letter
ed stone to mark the spot. It is near the
shore of lake Michigan, and within the
sound of the busy hum of the great city
which his influence and enterprise nour
ished into strength and commercial im
--ortance.
"I have said that Douglas died poor. In
the great State which he served so long and
so faithfully, he did not own ground enough
to serve him for a grave; and his devoted
and true-hearted wife gave up, for his place
of burial, the small lot of two acres, which
was all the land she owned. This noble
and gifted woman was always true to the
patriotic principles of her husband. The
false glitter of the fashionable society of
Washington could not tempt her to become
one of its devotees; nor could the power
ful treason that ruled in high places at the
national capital ever win her from her de
votion to the Union.
" Will not the people of Illinois and In
diana—will not the people of the mighty
and patriotic West—will not the people of
the Union—provide a home and heritage
for the wife of Douglas and his children?
I know they will. I have conversed with
a committee who have the subject under
their charge in Illinois. May not similar
committees be organized in Indiana, and
in other Western States? The family of
Douglas must have a home in the West,
where an enduring monument will be
erected to his memory."
PENNSYLVANIA APPOINTMENTS In
JEOPARDY.
A telegram from Washington says: The
enormous lists of appointments from
Pennsylvania has attracted much atten
tion. It is so entirely disproportionate to
that from all other States that the Senate
Military Committee, to whom the nomi
nations were referred, have withheld any
report upon a majority of them. It ap
peared that in all these Pennsylvania ap
pointments Governor Curtin's friends
have been entirely ignored. Considera
ble trouble is anticipated. The whole
batch will not improbably be thrown over
board.
"UNDER WHIOH KING, BENZONI-
AN ?"
Conversing to-day with an officer who
had nharge of the foraging expedition
from Otterville, Mo., he informs us that if
you meet a negro and ask him "Whose
hay stacks are those ?" he will reply,
"Massa's." "Well, what is he, Union, or
Secesh ?" The reply invariably is,
"massa, he's bar, he's boff."—Chicago
Journal.
Yes Sir !
All small bills should now be promptly
paid. They are quite as likely to be
neglected as large ones, because people
feel that they are not of much importance,
and can be paid at any time ; but in the
aggregate they are of great importance.—
In many kinds of trade the bulk of the re
ceipts is in comparatively small sums, as
in the printing business, for instance.—
Let all the small bills be punctually paid,
and the large ones will take care of them
selves, for it is upon the small bills that
many a tradesman or mechanic depends
to pay the large ones he owes.
jar Let every woman have a torch,
every child a firebrand ; let the loved
homes of our youth be made ashes, and the
field of our vintage be made desolate : so
speak the two Cobbs, Crawford and
Toombs to the South : and what are they
to gain by all this sacrifice ? Well, they
have the great blessing of being ruled
by such fellows as the Cobbs, Toombs, &c.,
who have eo far wielded a rod of iron over
obedient subjects. Is not the prospect en
couraging? Stand in front, Messrs. Cobbs,
Tooms, &c., and begin the destruction of
your own homes.
ipar The New England papers are dis
cussing the Cabinet and army, and the
Black Republican part of them manifest
some indignation that Stanton, Secretary
of War, and McClellan, the Commander
in-Chief, are both Douglas Democrats. if
the papers will inquire, a strong force of
the same political opinions will be found
in the armies, and at the end of the war
history can again record that "the dead
Douglas has won a field."

DIED, on Friday, Feb. 14th, Hum
MOREDOCE, son of William and Nar.cy
Moredock, on Frosty Run, this county.
The deceased was born March 27th,
1848. From his birth, until he was nine
years of age, he was subject to inward
spasms. At that time, the disease assumed
a more malignant form. He continued to
have violent fits up to the day of his death.
Truly his life was a life of suffering and
affliction, but the Lord has delivered him
from them all. R. H. S.

* Delany claims that he has paid the amount that stands against him for the years 1857 and 1858, to Silas
Barnes, late Treasurer, as he can show• by receipt.
The amount from Stephen White, forty-five dollars of which is in D. A. Worley's hands, late Sheriff, and
part in the hands of William McClelland, Deputy Sheriff (Purchase of hogs, the amounnt uhknown to the
Auditors.) Amount said to be in Sulu Barnes' hands, as shows. by receipt of Hiram Stephens Collector of
Greene, still remains unsettled.

N. B.—The 5275 00 due from Jacob Lemley, Esq., late Treasurer, as shown at last settlement, still remains
unsettled. (In dispute.)
Resolved, That it is indispensably necessary that the outstanding State
and County taxes for the previous years, shall be collected by the incoming
Treasurer during the current or present year; and that he be required to
proceed at once to collect the same by suit upon the constables' bonds or
otherwise, so that at the next annual settlement he will ask no credit for
outstanding taxes for previous years.
Resolved, That hereafter the County Auditors will require the Treasurer
to collect all the taxes levied during his term, after such exonorations as
shall be allowed him, except such as shall be unavoidably outstanding for
his second year, and in the hands of the constables, so that upon his last
and final settlement he will be credited with only such as could not be col
lected of his last year on account of the warrants being in the hands of the
Constables, as aforesaid, at the expiration of his term of office.
N. B.—The Constables will find, by examining the acts of Assembly, that
they are required to pay twelve per cent. interest on all taxes in their hands
after the expiration of their warrants, for which they will be held to a strict
accountability
