The proceedings of the Democratic Vounty meeting, held in the Court-House on Tuesday evening last, appear in anoth er column. Entire harmony and good feeling prevailed on the occasion, and the Resolutions were adopted with singular unanimity. HEALTHY INDIOATION. 'the large accessions made to our list of subscribers during the past week assure us that the Democracy of little Greene are alive to their duties and responsibilities in the present crisis, and are determined not only to maintain their organization, but to extend a generous support to their old and long-tried organ. WAYNESBURG COLLEGE. It was our pleasure to attend the Liter ary Entertainment given by the young la dies of the College on Thursday Evening last. The performances throughout were creditable to the participants and the in stitution, and were listened to by a very large audience. The only imperfection was a failure on the part of some of the performers to read loud enough to be dis tinctly heard. Itiss C. C. PErricitsw, the amiable and accomplished Teacher, added mach to the interest of occasion by the judicious selection and execution of appro priate music. We are gratified to learn that the pros pects for the Summer session are very flat tering. The Faculty seem determined to spare no labor to render the institution in all respects worthy of its patrons. BOROUGH ELECTION. The Election on Friday last passed off pleasantly (to us,} and with the following result:— Countable Joseph Taylor, James P. Cosgray, Jesse Hunnell, School Directors W. T. E. Webb, Daniel Owen, A. A. Purman, R. W. Jones, Scattering, Judge. Seeeph Wiley, Scattering, Ltspectors Wm. Campbell, Van B. Adams, E. P. Smalley, Scattering, Assessor F. B. Wilson, Milton P. Stillwell, Scattering, Overseers of the Poor D. W. Kennedy, Thomas W. Clark, Scattering, FOUND DEAD, The dead body of a man, supposed to be that of a German who taught a class in the French and other languages in Waynesburg last Fall, was found on the farm of SILAS Cog in Centre township in this county a few days ago. The body was discovered by a son of Mr. COE, and was so decomposed as to render it impos sible to identify it. OBJEOTB OF THE WAR. In the House of Representatives, a few days ago, Mr. Holman, of Ind., offered a resolution that in the judgment of the House, the unfortunate civil war in which the United States has been forced by the treasonable attempts by the Southern Se cessionists to destroy the Union, should not be prosecuted for any other purpose than the restoration of the authority of the Constitution, and. the welfare of the whole people of the United States, who are permanently involved in the preserva tion of our present form of government, without modification or change. On motion of Mr. Lovejoy, of Illinois, the Resolution was laid on the table by a vote of 60 against 58. This is the second time since the beginning of the present session that Congress has laid on the ta ble a resolution declaring the true pur pose of the war. What does it mean ? sir The vote on the resolution to expel Mr. Powell, of Kentucky, from the U. S. Senate for alleged disloyalty, was taken O a Thursday.

WHAT PBMITIOE THINIEL There is no man in the country who ut ters more loyal setiments or acts a more loyal part than the editor of the Louisville Journal. He says, "the war for the Union is a holy war, for it is waged in the cause of national vitality and enlarged conserva tism. If a peace cannot be conquered within constitutional limitations, it is not worth securing. It would be of no avail to lavish men and money to restore the mere forms of nationality without preserving at the same time its constitutional vitality.— We must have the glorious old structure without a single column taken from its proportions, and without a single stone re moved from its solid foundations. If it is to be broken or desecrated or altered, it makes very little difference whether its entirety is destroyed by Southern Seces sion or Northern Abolition. The States which make up the Union can never be decreased except under the forms of the Constitution, and the ultraisin which de termines that South Carolina can with draw from her compact with the other thirty-three States upon her own whim, caprice or volition, is the very twin to the monstrous doctrine that the thirty-three States can withdraw from South Carolina, or blot out her State sovereignty." THE EMANCIPATION RESOLUTION IN CONGRESS. The House of Representatives has adopted the President's emancipation reso lution by a vote of 88 in favor to 31 against. We cannot close our eyes, says the Har risburg Patriot, to the obstacles in the way of the consummation of this project. In the first place, supposing the consent of the Borde r States to be obtained, the ex pense to the General Government would be enormous, and in addition to the ex pense of the war, overwhelming. In the next place it does not seem just that the Northern States (for upon them must fall the main burdens of taxation) should be taxed to pay for property which they can not use and do not want ; and then after purchasing the freedom of these Border State slaves, the Government could not turn them loose upon the country, but would be compelled to provide for them, either by colonization or otherwise, which would add fearfully to the total cost. We presume that the President did not over look these objections, and can hardly suppose that either he or any man who voted in favor of his recommendation, be lieved that it would ever be practically adopted. If the reception of the offer embraced in this resolution by the Border States can be anticipated from the action of their repre sentatives it will not be accepted ; and then Congress and the Administration stand pledged against forcible emancipa tion. THE VOTE. The resolution presented to Congress by the President, in relation to the emancipa tion of slaves, passed the House finally op Tuesday, by yeas 88—nays 31. All the yeas but eleven are Republicans --seventy-seven Republicans in its favor, and two Democrats, and nine Unionists.— Among the nays there was one Republican, and all the rest were Democrats, and so called Union men. 59 61 79 93 Iffil "YOUNG AND PURE." Out in Kansas, there is a muss on hand which serves still further to illustrate the boasted honor and honesty of the "young and pure" Republican party. The Legis lature by a unanimous vote, has presented articles of impeachment against the Gov ernor, Auditor and Secretary of State, all of them being Republicans. The impeach ment is based on a charge of fraud prac tised against the State in the sale of State Bonds to the amount of one hundred thousand dollars. The allegation is that these bonds were sold at 40 to 45 cents on the dollar, with the understanding that the purchaser should divide all profits with the officers who made the sale. We hope for the honor of all concerned that there is not sufficient ground for the allegation.-- Newark (0.) Advocate. BorStealing and swindling are the dis tinguishing characteristics of a great many Republican officials now-a-days. They hold the purse, and seem determined to empty it. May the Lord send the country a speedy deliverance from the unscrupulous scoundrels who are robbing her of her treasure and substance in this dark hour of her history ! Se-. The Detroit Free Press thinks the rebellion will soon be at an end, but, it well and truly says, "the causes of future insurrections will linger in the body politic just so long as in any part of the country the doctrine of secession or of abolition are tolerated. There can be no permanent pe ace when men are allowed to preach the "higher law" and "irrepressible conflict," or the right of States to defy the General Government. All these are treasonable. They have bred civil war, and were in tended to breed it. They are unclean spirits which possess the nation, and must be cast out if we would return to our old happiness and prosperity." MOORATIO VICTORIES. The returns of the Spring Elections in the State of New York, as far as recorded, show immense gains for the Democracy. The cities of Troy, Utica and Rochester have elected Democratic Mayors, and the gain of Democratic Supervisors throughout the State has been very large. In every place where a district issue has been made between the two parties, this Spring, the Democratic vote has largely increased. The success of our armies and the rise of Democracy go hand in hand. DelatilLL....Dr. S. S.

Democratic County Meeting. Agreeably to the call of ROET. A. MeCoNNELL, Esq., Chairman of the Democratic County Committee, a very large and respectable meeting of the Democracy of the county as sembled at the Court House on Tues day evening of Court week, for the purpose of transacting business, and for the better organization of the party. On motion of R. A. MCCONNELL, Esq., Col. NEWTON S. RITCHEY, of Cumberland township, was elected President of the meeting, and RICH ARD PHILLIPS, Hon. ISAAC BURSON, THOMAS TAMS and HENRY J. DAVIS, Vice Presidents • and JUSTUS F. TEM PLE and J. J. HUFFMAN, Secretaries. On motion of A. A. PURMAN, Esq., the following persons were duly se lected as the County Committee for the year 1862, viz: J. G. Ritchey, Esq., Chm'n, Marion. William Hook, Franklin. Jeremiah Stewart, Greene.

James Meek, Jackson. Augustus Miller, Aleppo. William Fox, Springhill. Asa Ross, Richhill. Stephen H. Adamson, Centre. Hon. Mark Gordon, Whitely. John Momyer, Carmiehaels. Alfred Armstrong, Cumberland. Joseph Sedgwick, Jefferson. On motion of R. W. JONES, the fol lowing Resolutions were unanimously adopted: Resolved, That the Democracy of Greene county, faithful to the princi ples, measures and candidates of the party for a period of sixty years, feel that their wishes and suggestions should receive some consideration from their brethren throughout the State; and that in presenting, as they do, their fellow-citizen, Wm. T. H. PAULEY, Esq., for a place on the next Democratic State ticket, they do it in the confident hope that the ap proaching Convention will do justice to the claims of the county and of a life-long and zealous Democrat by making him one of our standard-bear ers in the coming campaign. Resolved, That our Delegates to the State Convention be and are hereby instructed to support Mr. PAULEY for the Auditor Generalship "first, last and all the time," and to use all hon orable means to secure his nomina tion. On motion of Dr. ALEX. PATTON, of Morgan, it was unanimously Resolved, That the Democracy of Greene county recognize in General JESSE LAZEAR a faithful, intelligent and incorruptible public servant, fearless and independent in the dis charge of his public duties and obli gations, and devotedly attached to the Union and Constitution, and the true interests of the country; and that his re-nomination and election would not only meet our wishes and expecta tions, but afford gratifying evidence of the public confidence and appre ciation. Resolved, That the course of PAT RICK DONLEY', Esq., our capable and efficient Representative in the State Legislature, meets our entire appro val, and attests his watchful care of the interests of his constituents and of the Commonwealth. On motion of JostPH G. RITCHEY, Esq., it was unanimously Resolved, That tho late message of President LINCOLN, proposing a scheme of negro emancipation by purchase by the Federal Government, is most impolitic and ill-timed, and calculated to excite distrust and alarm within the loyal slave States, as well as throughout the entire country. Resolved, That the recent glorious successes of the Federal arms in the Southwest have vindicated the prow ess of our citizen soldiery, and enti tle our brave volunteers to the plau dits and gratitude of their country men, and quicken our hope of an early and triumphant termination of the struggle for the Union and Constitution of our fathers. On motion of A. A. TURMAN, Esq., it was unanimously Resolved, That we regard the at tempt by Congress to reduce States of this Union to the condition of Territories, as a principle as danger ous as the dark and damning doctrine of secession itself; but that the Dem ocracy pledge themselves to stand by the legally constituted authorities in every constitutional effort to hold in the Union every State, as hereto fore, without the loss of a single right as a State of the Union. On motion, it was Resolved, That the Democratic Pri mary Elections be held on the last Saturday of May next. The meeting was then addressed by R. A. MCCONNELL, Esq., Dr. ALEX. PATTON, D. H. LILLY, Es q., A. A. Tux- MAN, Esq., J. G. RITCHIE, Esq., and Col. R W. JONES. All these gentlemen made able, eloquent and patriotic speeches, which were received with repeated *mon strations of applause. On motion of J. F.

Ile Illementat TEE RAILROADS, THE LEGISLA TURE AID THE COURTS. In my last article I had reached that portion of the history of the Railroad in which it had carried through the Legislature of 1857, a law which looked only to the interest of the road, and totally disregarded the rights and interests of the tax payers of the State. The question arose as to how this wicked legisla tion could be got rid of. That the treasury of the State would be robbed by permitting it to remain, was clear to everybody. Finally, it was deci ded by the State authorities to test the constitutionality of the law be fore the Supreme Court. That Court, without hesitation, decided that a law which attempted to relieve any portion of the property of the people of the State from paying its share of the expenses of the Government— much less the property of a wealthy corporation—was unconstitutional.— Thus again was defeated an effort to get rid of the payment of the tonnage tax. Its next effort, for the same pur pose, was more daring than any it had yet resorted to. It was to square ly refuse to pay the tonnage tax in defi ance of the Courts and the people! Accordingly it withheld the payment of these duties for the years 1857 and 1858; in truth it has paid nothing since 1856. This, of course, again brought this defiant corporation into the Courts. The State Treasurer sued the Company for this money, and after all the delay that legal ingenuity could interpose, judgment was bad and execution issued. But another delay was effected by suing out a writ of error to the Supreme Court, which, after considerable ad ditional delay, confirmed the judg ment of the inferior Court. Of course the Company did not expect any other result. It had no hope of re versing the judgment, but by these protracted delays it bad staved off final action, and given itself time to manipulate the Legislature of 1861, which was then about to assemble. The previous intercourse of this Company with the virtuous gentle men who represent the people in the Legislature, had been of such an encouraging character, as to give it great hopes—nay, almost an assu rance—if properly 'approached, that the rights of this Company would be respected there, whatever other rights might be disregarded! The result showed the accuracy of this opinion. A law was passed—nay, two laws— just such as were dictated by the Company and as suited their inter est, but with the usual disregard of the interest of the tax payers of the State. A brief extract from a speech late ly delivered by the Hon. Thomas Williams, a member of the present as well as the last Legislature, will give the reader some idea of the character of this legislation : Mr. WlLLisms, of Allegheny, agreed with the gentleman from Philadelphia, that the As sembly of 1861 was "dead ;" and more than that, it was in the condition of Lazarus, foul and repulsive. When the tonnage tax bill was about being passed, he had stood up in the hall with the minority of the members, and declared that those who voted for the iniquity should be known no more as members of the House. He would now point to the members around, and ask if the prediction had not been fulfilled.— The giant corporations of 1661 might subsidize the press, but the voice of the people could not be stifled. He cited a legislative case in Geor gia, to show that it was legal to enter into an investigation. If it was urged that a contract might be vitiated thereby, let it be understood that fraud vitiated any contract. Two bills alone of the Assembly of 1861 took $12,000,000 out of the State treasury, and benefited the treas ury of Philadelphia proportionately. Not only were these two acts sanctioned, but a third one was approved, which allowed the Pennsylvania Railroad Company to own all the railroads in the State. In tact, the entire duty of the last Leg islature seems to have been to execute the bid ding of the corporations so prominently brought before it. The two bills referred to by Mr. Williams as having taken twelve millions of dollars from the treasury of the State, are the bill for the "com mutation of the tonnage tax," and the bill for the "completion of the Sunbury and Erie Railroad." These bills en velop their purpose in an immense amount of verbiage, but the plain English of the first is to release the Central Railroad from the payment of the tonnage tax, and the second to forgive to the Sunbury and Erie Rail road the debt which the State held against it. Most persons would un derstand the term "commutation," when applied to a debt, as a change or substitution of one mode of paying a debt for another. But this bill merely provides for the payment of the purchase money of the Canals, (which the Central Railroad Compa ny bound itself to do by the act of 1857,) that it will thereafter pay to the State the taxes assessed on its property, (which the Court had de cided it was bound to do like any other owner of property,) and that it would not, for the future, discrimi nate against our own citizens in its charges for freight, (which the Courts had decided it had no warrant for doing in its charter!) The amount of the tonnage tax due the State at the time of the passage of the act of 1861, amounted, with interest, to the snug sum of eight hun dred and fifty thousand dollars. This sum this law of 1861 coolly appro priated to ten branch roads—feeders to the Central—passing through some twelve or fifteen counties, most of whose Representatives were thus (and perhaps otherwise) secured for the passage of the law! These two bills ponstituted a giant job on the part of the Legislature. They were introduced together, con sidered together, and passed togeth er, at a night session, convened for the special purpose. The Senator from this District voted against the former and in favor ' of the latter, and, doubtless, expected that his constituents would be de ceived by this shallow dodge. It is barely possible that they will, but if it should turn out otherwise, when he tries his strength in the new Con s isia distriet, .(faire which the Dolonernts of Washington and Greene are so mnA. indebted to hiss) he mast it rne me. This is & + et AO& tiatie at* the operations oftloi emit _Railroad cxi. poration in osa. Legislature and Courts. I trust that the future may present a different history, and that the at tention of the people may be thor oughly awakened to the necessity of arresting the rapid progress of this overshadowing corporation to su preme power. I am rejoiced to see the many and convincing evidences of this, not the least of which is glanced at in the extract from the speech of Mr. Williams, already quo ted. It is true that but one member outside of the city and county of Philadelphia, who voted for these bills in 1861, has been returned to the present Legislature. Early in the present session a resolution was introduced by the upright and watch ful member from our neighboring county of Washington, Col. Hopkins, looking to the repeal of the repealing law of last session, which has received favorable attention, and will doubt less pass. Again, the same member introduced a resolution calling for a committee of inquiry as to the means and appliances by which those meas ures were carried. This was adopted without a dissenting vote, and an able committee has been raised and is about entering upon the duties as signed to it. It is to be hoped that this investigation will be searchingly and unflinchingly pursued, and that the people may be informed who of their pretended Representatives stood quietly by and permitted this gross sacrifice of their interests, or, worse yet, profited by this treachery. if such false Representatives shall be found, they should be mercilessly gibbeted by public opinion, as a lesson to those who may hereafter aspire to legislative position with such unholy purposes.

Executors. ATER'S SARSAPARILLA. I S a concentrated extract of Pam Sarsaparilla, so combined with other substances of still greater al terative power as to afford an effective antidcte for diseases Sarsaparilla is reputed to core. Su ch a reme dy is surely wanted by those who suffer from Sim mons complaints, and that one which will accomplish heir cure must prove of immense atrvice to this large class of our afflicted fellow-citizens. How completely this compound will do it has been proven by experi ment on many of the worst cases to be found in the following complaints : Scrofula and Scrofulous complaints, Eruptions and Eruptive Diseases, Ulcers, Pimples, Blotches, Tumors, Salt Rheum, Scald Head, Syphilis and Syphilitic Af fections, Mercurial Disease, Dropsy, Neuralgia or Tic Doloresz, Debility, Dyspepsia and Indigestion, Erysipelas, Rose or St. Anthony's Fire, and indesd the whole class o f complaints arising from Impurity of the Blood. This compound will be found a great promoter of health, when taken in the spring, to expel the foul Iw more which fester in the blood at that season of the year. By the timely expulsion of them many rankling disorders are nipped in the bud. Multitudes can, by the aid of this remedy, spare themselves from the endurance of tout eruptions and ulcerous sores, through which the system will strive to rid itself of corruptions, if not assisted to do this through the natural channels of the body by an alteiative medicine. Cleanse out the vitiated blood whenever you find its impurities bursting through the skin in pimples, eruptions, or sores ; cleanse it when you find it is obstructed and sluggish in the veins; cleanse it whenever it is foul, and your feelings will tell you when. Even where no particular disorder is telt, people enjoy better health, and live longer, for cleansing the blood. Keep the blood healthy, and all is well; but with the pabu lum of life disordered, there can be no lasting health. Sooner or later something must go wrong, and the great machi., ery of life Is disordered or overthrown. During late years the public have been misled by large bottles, pretending to give a quart of Extract of Sarsaparilla for one dollar. Most of these have been frauds upon the sick, for they not only contain little, if any . Sarsaparilla, but often no curative properties whatever. Hence, bitter and painful disappoinunent has followed the use of the various extracts of Sarsa parilla which flood the market, until the name itself is justly despised, and Las become synonomous with imposition and cheat. Still we call this compound Sarsaparilla, and intend to supply such a remedy as shall rescue the name from the load of obloquy which rests upon it. And we think we have ground for be lieving it has virtues which are irresistible by the ordi nary run of the diseases it is intended to cure. Prepared by Da. J. O. AYRE & CO., Lowell, Mass.

WE, the undersigned Commissioners of Greene County, impelled by a sense of the obligation of our oaths and of our duty to the public, and in obedience to the law requiring us to "carefully examine and cor rect the assessments as returned by the Assessors of the several townships, and to raise or reduce the same if they find improper valuations have been made." do hereby make known that we have made a full and complete examination of the assessments of the several townships, and find. that whilst all are far below the actual cash value of the real estate assessed. The assessments of many of the townships are so grossly below the real value of the property assessed, that to suffer them to remain would inflict great in justice upon the other townships whose property has been more correctly estimated. We have, therefore, raised the valuations on assessments of the real es tate of such townships, so as to equalize them with the other townships of the County, as follows : Wayne township increased 10 per cent.
