THE DEMOCRATIC PRIMARY AEC-
TIONS.
The approach of the Democratic PH
&tory Elections, which are to be hell on
the last Saturday of May, renders it prop
er that we should appeal to the party to
put forward its best men for the various
positions to be filled on the second Tuesday
•of October. Let the nominees come fully
up to the Jeffersonian standard of honesty
sind capability, and let them strengthen,
not weaken the party in this important cri
sis. • Let them be men of energy, decision
of character and steadfastness of princi
pie,—men who are alike for the country
and the party which has moulded her pol
cy for a period of fifty years, and has
bravely battled for the Constitutional gov
uernment and the Union of the States
through every peril and vicissitude of their
history.
'These are times of impressive interest,
and of grave responsibility to men and
parties. Treason is in arms at the South,
'while at thelgorth it assumes the garb of
Abolitionism, and .opposee its heresies and
intrigues to any reconstruction of the
Union that does not wipe out slavery and
:strike down the rights of the States under
the Constitution of our fathers. Bribery
And corruption infest our halls of legisla
tion, and thieving and speculation are the
erniy Accomplishments of an indefinite sum=
bet of our government functionaries.—
These evils must be corrected, and Aboli
tionism must be rebuked and effectually
silenced, or there can be no permanent
peace for the country. The remedy is
with the PEOPLE, and in the SILENT, but
rovawv ballot ; and the PEOPLE must use
it. In this county, and throughout the
State and country, let men of known abil
ity, integrity, and unquestioned political
,fidelity be brought forward for every post of
importance and responsibility. Let us have
men _of grit and firmness, who will not be
frightened oat of right convictions by the
threats and bluster of opponents, or flatter
ed out of their party attachments by the
soft spoken palaver of •the opposition.—
Given's men of tried and thorough attach
ment to the Democratic faith, and loyal to
tlut heart's core to the national cause. De
mocracy, as we understand it, and as it
has illustrated its principles in the history
of the country, is but the synonym of patri
otism ; and no man who holds the Demo
cratic faith in its purity will falter in de
votion to the Constitution and the Union
whether assailed by external enemies,
Southern conspirators or Abolition plot
ters.
With good and true men as its stand-
Ard-bearers, the Democratic party, for
years to come, will be invincible. Let
the people see that none but the competent
And trustworthy are nominated.
REPUBLIOAN LOON OMY.
JNO. P. HALE, of New Hampshire, one
of the leading Republican and Abolition
members of the• U. S. Senate, stated in a
recent speech, that the list of employees of
that body, and the amount of their compen
sation, had been doubled within the last few
years, and very considerably increased re
cently, under the administration of the
renegade FORNEY. So in every branch and
department of the public service, the same
reckless squandering of the public money
exists. A mania for plunder and extrava
gant expenditure seems to have seized upon
the incumbents of almost every civil and
military position which gives access to the
treasury. A few years of such stupendous
swindling and wastefulness as have prevail
ed during the last few months would bank
rupt the government and beggar the coun
try. The people would soon correct the
• evil if they could reach it with their ballots,
and they will reach it in due season.

GEN. JESSE LAZEAR. .
This faithful and reliable public servant,
at present representing the old district of
Fayette, Washington and Greene in the
Congress of the United States, has at last
consented to become a candidate in the
new district of Greene, Washington, Bea
ver and Lawrence, subject to the action of
the Democratic party. The General is a
great favorite with the Democracy of "Lit
tle Greene," as well on account of his pri
vate virtues and fine social qualities, as be
cause of his consistent and unswerving de
votion to the interests of his country and
his party. His course in Congress has re
ceived the cordial endorsement of his con
stituents, and it is to gratify his friends,
rather than any personal end or aspiration,
he has agreed to accept the nomination
for a second term. There is little doubt
that the Democracy of the other counties
of the district will cheerfully concur in his
selection as our standard-bearer, and in
that event we are confident not only that
Little Greene will give him a largely in
creased majority, but that he will be tri
umphantly elected, if the party in the oth

should, and as we doubt not they

MINNESOTA.-St. Paul, the Capitol, has
gone Democratic by 400 to 500 majority,

up of excellent 111C11, and the contest was
fairly made between the two parties. The

The revolution in public sentiment on

The people are disgusted with the rule of
fanatical, sectional politicians, and only
await an opportunity to oust them from the

HON. SAM'L, A. GILMORE.
We notice, by the last "Genius of Lib

the able and popular Judge of our Common

for Congress in the District composed of the
counties of Fayette, Westmoreland and In

'‘Vith no disposition to intermeddle in
the affairs of a neighboring District, and

claims or qualifications of his competitors,
we must be allowed to bear our testimony
to the ability, integrity and general and ad

Democratic .conmietious, his familiar ac

will yet live to tell. He won the praise of
his officers in each succeeding struggle.

ADVANCE ON FREDERICKSBURG ! !
Greene County Boys in a Brush with
the Rebels•
On Friday last the brigade of Gen. An
ger, of Gen. McDowell's army corps of the
Rappahannock, advanced to Fredericks
burg. The Inquirer's correspondent gi v es
an account of the engagement at that point
When within two miles of Falmouth, op
posite Fredericksburg, the advance guard
of the brigade, consisting of a detachment
of the First Pennsylvania Cavalry, Col. G
D. Bayard, together with a few men of the
Harris Cavalry, of New York, while quiet
ly following the road, was ensnared by the
lies of a pretended Union man, into an en
gagement of quite a serious nature.
A breastwork of rails having been laid
across the main highway, the cavalry
found themselves surrounded for a short
time by secesh riflemen, who poured into
the little band of Union men a most deadly
and destructive fire, killing and wounding
iinany. Through the bravery of the men,
and gallantry of the officers ofCol. Bayard's
Pennsylvania Cavalry, the command was
finally extricated from its perilous position.
In the midst of the bullets, mud and dark
ness, Captain A. Davidson, Company IP, of
Greene county, Pennsylvania, was captur
ed by a secesh. Captain D. was temporar
ily placed under the care of another secesh,
but in the mean time the Captain demand
ed the unconditional surrender of his guar
dian angel, which thesecesh finally agreed
to.
In the heat of the engagement Col. Bay
ard had his horse shot from under him.—
This is a repetition of his Drainsville ex
perience. At the latter place, however,
the gallant Colonel was wounded in two pla
ces.
We cannot fail to call to the minds of
Pennsylvanians that they hove the best
equipped, best drilled and best officered
regiment of cavalry in the service.
The march was made to Falmouth very
rapidly. A dash was made by Col. Bayard
to save the bridges leading to Fredericks
burg, on the opposite side of the river, but
as the Pennsylvania Cavalry entered the
town the rebels had very urgent business
on the opposite side of the river.
They burnt the bridge used by the citi
zens, and also the Richmond and Freder
icksburg Railroad bridge, one mile below.
The railroad to Richmond is being des- .
troyed by the rebels.
Among the killed And wounded at the
engagement were: Killed—Patrick Dev
lin and Michael Roody, Company F, First
Pennsylvania Cavalry. Wounded—John
H. Rhodrwalth, left thigh; Thomas Mor
ton, since dead; Thomas Martin, slightly;
Wm. Griffith, shot in both arms; Nathaniel
Conger, in the shoulder; Joel Black, leg
broken by a ball; John R, Klink, hurt by
a fall from a horse; P. M'Namahra,
slightly wounded in the head.
Fredericksburg, the chief town of Spott
sylvania county, Virginia, on the right
bank of the Rappahannock river, at the
head of tide water, is sixty-five miles North
from Richmond. The railroad from Wash
ington to Richmond passes through the
town, and a canal has been constructed
from this place to a point on the river forty
miles above, by which large quantities of
wheat, flour and tobacco were received for
exportation. The river affords extensive
water power, which, however, has never
been used to any extent.
lee Company F. is better known to our
readers as "Harper's Cavalry Company."
It was raised chiefly in the East endof this
county, and is composed of young men of
undoubted pluck and energy. We are not
surprised to learn that the regiment to
which it belongs is one of the best in the
service
ADDITIONAL PARTICI:LAM-Si rice wri
ting the above, a fuller account has reach
ed
us of the affair, and also the ,gratitying
intelligence that President Lincoln has
sent in the name of Cul. Bayard for a Brig
adier Generalship, fur his gallant behavior
on the occasion. The latest accounts state
that a number of camp fires were observed
by Col. Bayard, of the First Pennsylvania
Cavalry, who ordered an advance of a por
tion of his force, under command of Lieu
tenant Colonel Owen Jones, to make a re
connoissance. As the command was hast
ening onward under thegallant lead of Col.
Jones, it was suddenly halted by becoming
entangled in temporary breastworks of
rails, which were placed from side fences
completely across the road. While in this
ambuscade, a murderous fire was opened
from all sides upon the cavalry. Volley
after volley was poured into our brave but
bewildered ranks. Several charges were
gallantly made upon the barricades, but
the rebels being entirely in the dark, and
delivering a perfect storm of bullets at the
division of cavalry, the lattev temporarily
retreated. Col. Bayard, however, soon as
sembled his force, and put the rebel hosts
to flight, who retreated to Falmouth, and
crossed the Rappahannock to Fredericks
burg, burning the bridges.
Nothing could exceed the bravery of our
troops. Company F, of the First Pennsyl
vania, stood their ground amidst the fear
fultempest of fire and leaden hall with the
bravery of heroes of a . hundred battles.—
There was no chance afforded our troops
for a fair contest. As it was, however, cit
izens of this place report that fifteen of the
rebel killed were carried over the bridge
before the arrival of our army.
Some of their dead were also picked up
at daylight on the battle ground. The
Union Cavalry met with a severe loss in
horses. Col. Bayard's regiment lost in
horses, fourteen killed, and •six wounded.
The Harris Cavalry lost some eight o 1 ten
of their horses. Col. Bayard's horse was
struck by four balls. One horse had some
seventeen balls in his body.
THE CONNECTICUT ELECTION.
We commend the following paragraph,
from the "Crawford Democrat," to such of
our Republican friends as are disposed to
exult over the result of the Connecticut.
election :
The Republicans are crowing over the re
sult in Connecticut! They take mighty
good care, however, not to tell the people
that their party was afraid to make sepa
rate nominations at the late election, but
found it necessary to unite with all the
isms, and factions, and fag-ends of parties
in the State to save themselves from get
ting whipped. True, the Democrats were
defeated by the combination thus formed
against them, but they have cause to be
proud of their defeat under such circum
stances. All over the country the Demo
cratic party is gaining strength, while the
Republicans, so strong one year ago, are
driving bargains with any and every fac
tion for the purpose of holding on to pow
er as long as possible.
NO SURRENDER.
We admire the tone of the following,
which we take from an able article in the
Albany Argus addressed to the Democracy
of New York:
"Fellow Democrats, have patience, stand
fast by your principles, calmly endure the
flippant reproaches and misrepresentations
with which partizan demagogues, or it
maybe, honest but weak and unstable po
litical friends assail you. When the storm
of vituperation shall have passed, and the
noisy and pretentious patriots of the day
shall have shrunk away from the dangers
which now impend over us, the last hope
of the nation will rest upon your courage
and firmness, grounded upon an intelligent
political faith, which will be equal to the
terrible ordeal, and the salvation of your
country will be wrought out by your own
hands. Cherish your political principles,
preserve your organization, patiently strug
gle for the right, and prepare for the hour
when the work of re-establishing the Con
stitution and restore the Union will, by
common consent, be committed to your
hands."
SOME OF THE EFFECTS OF NEGRO
EMANCIPATION.
In a work on the ordeal of Free Labor,
by Sewell, we find the following descrip
tion of the results of emancipation at
Kingston, Jamaica :
There is not a house in decent repair;
not a wharf in good order ; no pavement,
no sidewalk, no drainages; . and scanty
water, no light. There is nothing like
work done. Wreck and ruin, destitution
and neglect. The inhabitants, taken en
masse, are steeped to the eyelids in immor
ality. The population shows unnatural
decrease. Illegitimacy exceeds legitima
cy. Nothing is replaced that time de
stroys. If a brick tumbles front a house
to the street, it remains there. If a spout
is loosened by the wind, it hangs by a
thread until it falls ; if furniture is, acci
dentally broken, the idea of having it
mended is not entertained.
A godforsaken place, without life or en
ergy, old, dilapidated, sickly, filthy, cast
away from the anchorage of sound moral
ity, of reason and of common sense. Yet
this wretched hulk is the capital of an
island the most fertile in the world. It is
blessed with a climate the most glorious;
it lies rotting in the shadow of mountains
that can be cultivated from the summit to
the base with every product of tropic and
temperate regions. It is the mistress of a
harbor wherein a thousand line of battle
ships can ride kaafely at anchor.

Ur That extremes do meet, says the
Chicago Times, is proven by every-day
events. The Sumner doctrine that States
may commit treason and be punished for
such treason is embraced by the New York
Tribune and all the leading Abolition Re
publican journals in the country. The doc
trine of the rebellion is that States may
destroy themselves or do anything else they
please.
Between the mill-stones of Abolition
and secession the Union will be crushed
unless there is power and Will enough in
the conservative masses to interpose re
lief.
CONGRESS,
Congress has but one more step to take,
and that is, to pass a law that this Govern
ment does not belong to the people; but to
themselves.

wanted the Indian lands:
"Resolved, That the earth is the Lord's,
and that we are his children; therefore, the
earth is ours."—Crisis.
THE DEMOCRACY OF PENNSYLVA
NIA.
The Democracy of Greene county, Penn
sylvania, at a recent meeting passed the
following resolution :
"Resolved, That the late message of
President Lincoln, proposing a scheme of
negro emancipation by purchase by the
Federal Government, is both impolitic and
ill-timed, and calculated to excite distrust
and alarm within the loyal slave States,
as well as throughout the entire country."
The whole country will respond to this
resolution and adopt it as their own, always
excepting the ring streaked abolitionist
who never had common sense, and from
present appearances never will.—Crisis.
ABOLITION.
Tes!inti; ny of Andrew dol.nson
"I would not be personal, but an Aboli
tionist is as much a Secessionist as any
to be found in South Carolina. Now, as
much as these Disunionist of both classes
abuse each other, they nevertheless both
unite in laying violent hands upon the
Government that never harmed either. If
I were an Abolitionist I would break up
the Union ; for the disruption of the Union
must inevitably destroy and obliterate sla
very. Hence we are for the, prosecution of
this war to save the Government as found
ed by our fathers ; for restoring the Con
stitution as we received it, without regard
to the peculiar institutions of any State.
That a Secessionist and an Abolitionist
are on a par, I can prove by a simple syl
logism—an abolitionist is a disunionist; a
disukionist is a Secessionist ; therefore a
secessionist is an Abolitionist." [Hos.
Aauv JOHNSON'S Speech, at Columbus,
Oct. 1861.]
Testimony of Honest ~ Joe Holt."
We make no apology for this wicked
effort in the South to destroy the Govern
ment. We grant the necessity of suppress
ing it. But Abolitionism, that has produced
it, must also be suppressed. A bolitionism
and Secessionism must be buried in the
same political grave
GO IT, GEORGE.
George D. Prentice, of the Louisville
Journal has received a threatening letter
from some secessionist woman, who signs
herself "Charlotte Corday," whereupon he
remarks : - From the signature that our
amiable correspondent uses, 'Charlotte Cor

stabbing part of the business herself. But
we don't believe she can. Her namesake
stabbed Marat in his bath, and, to protect
