THE PRIMARY ELECTIONS.
On next Saturday week (May Het > ) the
Democracy of the County will meet at
their various election places to nomi
nate candidatee for the several offices to
be filled on the 2d Tuesday of October.—
Let there be a general turn out. • Let no
man stay at home who wants competent
-and available candidates, and desires the
, overwhelming success of the party at the
Tall election. Now is the time to make
your selections, brother Democrats, and
see to it that they are men of the right
stamp, honest, capable and in every respect
entitled to your confidence and worthy of
your suffrages.
SLAVERY.
"The laws of emigration, of climate and
physical geography have already deter
mined, and will continue to determine
the question of slavery. Natural causes,
the laws of political economy, are work
ing out the problem. Why, then, should
it continue to mingle in the politics of our
country ? Why should this question still
continue to vex and disturb the public
repose, and divide this Union into hostile
camps, as it were, and build up what was
so much feared and deprecated by the
founders of the republic, geographical
parties? Must all other questions be
postponed? Must the fanatical pro-slavery
man on the one side, and the fanatical
anti-slavery man on the other, usurp the
public attention, and with their hobby
override all other considerations ?"
The above paragraph is an extract from
an editorial in the Philadelphia North
American, a leading Republican jour
nal, (of {arch 18th, 1859.) It embodies
the opinion ably and consistently main
tained by the lamented Douglas, and
entertained by nine-tenths of the Democ
racy of the United States, that slavery
in this country is a question of climate
and soil, and will be determined by these,
-and not by political considerations or
Congressional legislation. Where it is
likely to prove profitable, it will be intro
duced , and in all probability continue to
exist as iu the cotton and sugar-growing
regions; but where it will not pay, as in
cold and grain-growing localities, it will
neither be introduced nor perpetuated.—
This view does not divest the institution of
its moral character, or place it above, be
neath or beyond the reach of human rea
son, or the operations of moral influences
and convictions. These will still and always
exert their irresistible influence upon it,
and will ultimately either abolish or per
petuate it.
The question of slavery belongs to the
States, and to the people of the States, and
not to the General Government, and we
agree with the "North American" that its
"transfer to the arena of Federal politics"
was to leopard all the great interests of
the country, and even the stability of the
government itself." Indeed, this has now
been demonstrated. Notwithstanding the
dangers and muschtets growing out of Con
gressional interference with this question,
however, it seems to be the persistent pUr
pose of the Abolition zealots in Congress
to legislate the institution out of the Terri
tories and out of the country, if possible.—
To this end, the Lovejoy Bill, forever exclu-
Zmy slavery from the Territories, has passed
the House by the unanimous vote of the
Republican and Abolition members, and
will doubtless pass the Senate by a similar
-vote. This will be followed by a whole
sale and sweeping emancipation or "so
_called" confiscation Bill, which, if tip
-proved by the President, will prove the
"crowning glory" of Republican legisla
dim, if it does not utterly destroy all hopes
•of a restoration of the Union of our
fathers.
The dominant party in Congress have
.been struck with a negrophobia which will
be satisfied with nothing else and nothing
less than the ruin of the country. If they
should complete their unhallowed work
before the PEOPLE get their strong hands on
them, posterity will consign them to the
immortal infamy they have so richly earn
ed.
Al ABLE ADDRESS.
We give place, this week, to the Address
of the Democratic Members of Congress
to the Democracy of the United States.—
It is a convincing, logical, out-spoken and
patriotic paper, and should be read by eve
ry man who loves his country and her
Constitution, and sincerely desires the res
.toration of the Union and of our ancient
.aid fraternal relations as States, sections
4adi communities. To the wisdom and
ilpoderation of the national Democracy,
,sad to the broad and conservative policy
a tika always maintained and seeks to re
tore we can alone look, with any degree
of,Asouridence, for the realization of these
,iiortant and beneficent results.

THE GREENE COUNTY REPUBLICAN.
We seldom look at a N0..0f this ‘deleot
able sheet, not because we are lacking in
good feeling for ow rutigbbpr c, poke, who
is a very clever and accommodating
man, but. because we have other and more
profitable reading and _better employment.
A friend, however, has called our atten
tion to a long and frothy leader in this
week's issue, and to gratify him and an
idle curiosity, we have calmly and patient
ly waded through its balderdash, misrep
resentations, and falsehoods. It is evident
that the blatherskite who penned it and
who drags himself through some two col
umns of bombast and fustian, is ambitious
of having a tilt with the Messenger. We
regret that we cannot gratify him, anal for
the following good and sufficient reasons:
Ist, He is a fa/sifter; not an ignorant one,
but a wilful and deliberate one. He falsifies
knowingly and unblushingly;—and with such
an unprincipled creature our self-repect will
allow us to have no controversy. Nothing
is to be made by a dispute or discussion
with an opponent who fabricates and circu
lates malicious falsehoods, falsehoods "out of
the whole cloth,' odious and wickedfalselioods,
as well about events and parties as about his
neighbors, and near neighbors at that, and
not only near neighbors, but almost total
"strangers within his gates." The man who
would descend to such meanness, solely
because he differs with his neighbors in
political opinion and associations, is with
out principle, hospitality or decency, and
is capable of devising and spreading any
calumny, however monstrous, or commit
ting any outrage to serve his sinking party
and injure an opponent. We use plain
language, strong Saxon phrase, in thus
characterizing the writer in the Republi
can and his production, and we do it that
he may not misunderstand us. We say,
then, he is a falser, that he penned and
published falsehoods, and that he knew they
were falsehoods when he printed them.—
We not only say this, but we can prove it
by overwhelming testimony. So much on
that score.
2dly. He is a sneak and coward. He is
afraid to publish his trash over his own
signature, but shifts the responsibility of
it on our innocent and amiable friend
Cooke, and, assassin-like, stabs his neighbor
in the dark. We will have no controversy
with such a miserable skulk, or with any
scribbler who has not the manhood to
write over his own name and on his own
responsibility.
3dly. We long since ceased to notice any
thing appearing in the Republican, because
it is without a head, and is a totally irrespon
sible sheet. For nearly a year past its col
umns have been, at the service of every
anonymous slanderer who had a load of
filth and venom to Vomit forth on its read
ers, and at the tuercy of every unfledged
scribbler who had brainsenough to string
together a half-dozen sentences of bad
English.
For these reasons, which our readers
will regard as ample, we respectfully de
cline "sailing in" on this occasion: What
we may be compelled to do, however, "this
deponent saith not and cannot say."—
Perhaps we may be forced to give certain
distinguished `,`woolly-heads" 4 ventilation
they will not fancy.
GEL RIINTEWS EMANCIPATION
PROCLAMATION.
Concerning this extraordinary docu
ment, just received from South Carolina,
we clip the subjoined paragraphs from
our exchanges
The bold and novel proclamation lately
promulgated by Qeneral Hunter at Port
Royal, is attracting great attention, and
will, probably, lead to difficulty. Here it
is :
GENERAL ORDERS NO. 11.—The three
States of Georgia, Florida and South Car
olina, comprising the Military Department
of the South, having deliberately declared
themselves no longer under the protection
of the United States of America, and hav
ing taken up arms against the said United
States, it becomes a military necessity to
declare them under martial law. This was
accordingly done on the 25th day of April,
1862. Slavery and martial law in a free
country are altogether incompatible. The
persons in these three States—Georgia,
Florida and South Carolina—heietofore
held as slaves, are, therefore, declared
free forever.
LOEficiald DAVID HUNTER,
Major-General Commanding
PHILADELPHIA, May 17.—Specials to to
day's Times says Gen. Hunter's procla 7
mation excites scarcely any interest in
Washington, no one attaching any impor
tance to it as efficacious to produce the end
designed. Martial law is only enforced
by martial power, and Hunter has no force
at his command adequate to enforce this
proclamation. His declaring 'freedom to
all the slaves in three States, when he has
no power to free a single one outside of
his camp, is regarded in Washington as
an act of stultification, and highly discred
itable to any one holding the rank of a
General, supposed to have ordinary intelli
gence.
If the military power ig withdrawn
from Hunter's department, before his
proclamation is executed throughout those
States, it is conceded that the civil power
will not complete or countenance what
martial law proclaimed, but did not prac
tically execute. Republicans of radical
views see the absurdity of Hunter's pro
ceedings, and some of them claim that it
is a forgery.
I have heard of not one who endorses it.
The President's policy is supposed to be
authoritatively settled by his action in Fre
mont's case, in which all his Cabinet con
curred.
Specials to to-day's Herald say: General
Hunters proclamation has presented an
unavoidable issue, which it is believed will
result in the breaking up of the Cabinet.
The President has expressed not only dis
satisfaction, but. indignation at his course.
It is asserted that four members of the
Cabinet sustain the course of Gen. Hunter,
but one at least of those estimated is
known to entertain different views. It is
atatedrtsitive4/ that Asa. Hunter *ill be
immediately recalled, and Man l ike cluthie.
teristic firmness of the President will be
exhibited in the manner in which he wilt
meet the issue thus forced upon him, and
that he will, whether with or without the
support of the Cabinet, act consistently
with hie formerly and repeatedly expressed
opinions and intentions.
Specials to the Tribune say : General
Bunter's proclamation, it can be positively
stated, was issued without the authority
or knowledge of the President, whom it
took entirely by surprise.

DAY OF PRAYER.
Jeff. Davis has issued a proclamation,
appointing the ltith of the present month
for the people to unite in their several
places of worship in humble supplication
to Almighty God, that he would vouchsafe
his blessing on the Confederate arms ; that
he will strengthen them and protect their
armies, and watch over and protect the
people from the evil machinations of the
enemy, and in his own good time restore
peace.
sdr.Tefferson's praying epells recall the
old couplet,
"The devil was sick, the devil a saint
would be,—
The devil got well, then devil the saint was
he."
WHO ARE THE DISIINIONISTS?
We see it reported is a New York pa
per that CARL SCHURZ, one of the great Ab
olition moguls, whom President Lincoln ap
pointed Minister to Spain some time since,
and who is now hanging around Wash
ington begging for a Brigadier General's
commission, in a recent speech used the
following startling language :
"The Union is gone. You cannot re
store it—never. The circle of ideas in
which the political transaction of the old
Union moved, is forever broken ; it can
not be restored. The metal confidence on
which the political transactions of the old
Union rested has been discovered to be il
lusory ; it is irretrievably gone."
The number of Abolitionists who make
this avowal are increased almost every
day. Although among the foremost to
profess zeal for the Union when hostilies
were threatened, they are now the 'first to
proclaim that all is ost. The motive is
transparent. When convinced that the
war cannot be an anti-slavery war, they
confess to being like the woman whose
husband encountered a bear—they "don't
care which gets whipped."
Again, on a recent occasion, in Congress,.
JOHN BINGHAM, an Abolition member
from Ohio, in a debate on the Tax Bill,
made use of following treasonable lan
guage :
"Who in the name of heaven wants the cot
ton Statesor any other State this side of perdi
tion to remain in the Union, if slave.rcy is to
continue,"
What do you think of such language,
reader ? Suppose it had been uttered by a
Democratic ,metnber.,--why
.every Aboli
tion sheet in the country would have set
up a howl, and his expulsion would have
been demanded' by them for'uttering senti
ments that "would embarrass the govern
ment in the successful prosecution of the
var," and, we think, with some show of
reason. But this mau is an Abolitionists,
and, of eourse, what he sari is &ll right.—
Talk of Vallandigham—why he never ut
tered a speech, nor do we believe entertain
ed a thought half so vilely treasonable as
this. We are in favor of free speech, but
we think that if the administration desires to
act consistently in a matter of this kind,
there is but one place fit for BINGHAM—
his connection with a certain party ought
not to shield him from the same kind of
punishment meted out to others for alleged
similar offences. These rabid gentlemen
are. rapidly ranging 'themselves on the
side of dissolution, and are retarding the
settlement of our present difficulties as
much as the southern armed rebels.—illan
caster Intelligencer.
A TRUE SENTIMENT.
The Hon. Francis P. Blair, of Missouri,
in a late speech in the House of Represen
tatives against negro emancipation, said:
"How will you execute a decree of
emancipation which will set free the
slaves of the South upon the soil and
among a people the whole body of whom
are opposed to it, and who have taken up
arms in rebellion against this" very idea of
negro equality ? It can only be done by
the presence of an immense army, suffi
cient to prevent the white race from re
enslaving the black, sad by waging a con
stant war upon the people of our race for
the protection of the black race. How
long would it be endured by the Northern
people that a war should be waged upon
the people of their own race at the South
to make the blacks their equals? I do
not bee that any party could retain
power at the North upon such an issue."
ipair"ll we keep within the limits of the
constitiltion ," said Senator Browning the
other day in speaking of the confiscation
bill, "we have no right to pass such a bill,
and no possible advantage could result
which would equal the evils which would
arise from the violation of the great char
ter of our liberties." Here is a condensa
tion of reason against the purposes of the
itholitkmiets ?erlectlf unanswerable. If
the people of this cOamtry wish to preserve
their libertied •Vlitiy" Must see to it that
their ragaaaiiiiiatires

newspapers who are now sneering at the
Constitution because it is in the way of
the accomplishznent of their designs.
The Fight Commencing 1 1
Sherman's Division Engaged With the
Enemy--Skirmishing Within 300 Yards
of the Bebel Intrenohments.
BEFORE CORINTH, May 17.—The
latest advices from General Curtis
are that his forces are between
Searcy and Little Rock, Arkansas,
and rapidly marching on the Capital.
Gov. Rector has called out the militia
and the people generally to come
out. Large numbers have applied to
Curtis for protection and desire to
come under the old flag.
There is a general advance along
our lines to-day towards Corinth.—
There had been much skirmishing
and several severe engagements.—
General Sherman's Division lost for
ty-four killed and a considerable
number wounded, in attacking Rus
sell's House, which the Rebels have
occupied for some time past, worry
ing our pickets. We succeeded in
driving the enemy from their posi
tion back to his works. Our men
are under arms, expecting an attack
on Sunday morning. Among the
killed rebels left on the ground, was
one with a sword, supposed to be an
officer.

Our forces, under General Sher
man, still occupy Russell's House.
There is skirmishing from the Bth
Missouri, only about three hundred
yards from the enemy's breastworks.
Several guns were captured in the
skirmish on our right, perfectly new,
and marked "Breeze &lmen, Bre-
Men." They are muck superior to
the rifles used by our sharpshooters,
having a range of twelve to fifteen
hundred yards, while ours are only
effective at about a thousand.
In ail cases of rebels left upon the
field, they were shot in the head, or
wounded in the neck or breast. The
enemy left on the field about forty
killed and one hundred wounded.
Deserters from Corinth all report
an entire absence of chloroform in
medical stores. There is probably
none in the Confederacy.
The weather is very warm, and
the roads quite dusty.
*CAIRO, May 18.—The steamer•
Swan, from Pittsburg, has arrived.
The news is unimportant. A picket
skirmish had taken place, lasting
nearly two days. The rebels were
driven back, but not until they suc
ceeded in burning a bridge over a
small stream, four miles from Cor
inth. Twelve of our men aro report
ed wounded.
Deserters continue to report a
scarcity of provisions in the rebel
camp. Many of their cattle are
starving for the want of forage.
