PARTIZAN INTOLERANCE.
To be a Democrat is to be a Traitor in the
opinion of a great many Republicans in
this community ; and to oppose an isola
ted measure of the Administration is to
sympathize with "secession" and "rebel
lion." Every project set on foot by crazy
and reckless Abolitionists, whether right I
or wrong, whether opposed by Nfr. Lincoln
nod his advisers or not, or whether calcu
lated to "crush out" the rebellion and re
store the Union qr not, must be endorsed
and extolled by every Democrat as "the
very thing for the crisis," or he is at heart,
if not in life, a "secessionist" and "traitor,"
and no epithet is too vile to apply to him.
Store-box and street-corner loafers, (pests
and nuisances in any community,) "dish
him up" in their• most approved style on
all occasions, tea-party gossips make him
their staple, and every Pb are sa,ical pa
triot in the village turns up his ugly nose
at WM as he passes him on the street.—
If this won't bring him to terms, they make
a drive at his business, withdraw their pat
ronaga, (which is, in many instances, a
positive benefit, as this gentry are given to
both slow pay and no pay,) and confidently
expect the loss of their shillings and coun
tenance will summarily close his career
by "starving him out." If all this fail to
"squelch" the "wretch," and lie still in
sists on freedom of speech and opinion,
personal violence is threatened, and every
opportunity sought to imbroil him in street
quarrels or to provoke him to assaults.
This is no "fancy sketch." It is true,
every word of it, and has been verified as
well in our own experience as in that of
hundreds of others within the past year.—
The spirit it evinces is neither more nor
less than devilish, and is the same that pre
vailed in the days of the Inquisition. It
would rack and torture, and hang and quar
ter men for a *difference of opinion, or for
asserting their God-given right to reason
and speak for themselves in matters con
cerning their own privileges and happiness,
and the liberties and well-being of their
country, Our contempt for such miserably
pussilauimous puppies and bigots is ineffa
ble and unutterable. There is no depth of
meanness and littleness they are not capable
of reaching, or would not glory in sound
ing. Their hearts are fell of malice and
bitterness, and their throats of lies. They
live o,n their bates, and would die of ennui
if I:l2st had nobody to, traduce or "hunt
.dOwn.4l"
If we would pronounce "nigger emanci
pation" a direct visitation frog), heaven. Fre
mont the greatest captain of the age, Wen
dell Phillips, and others of his ilk, pa
triots.of the first water, and consent to
"hanging up the Constitution" till the war
closes, we would be "good fellows" in the
opinion of our Republican and Abolition
friends. But as we can't go any such fig
ure, we must make up our minds to live
(if we live at all,) under the weight and
curse of their terrible displeasure.
sier We would suggest to the Republi
can papers throughout the State, that the
friends of the Union and the Constitution,
who are aiding the Government in the
recruiting servi* conld succeed much
better if the aforesaid papers would desist
from stigmatizing 41wmocrats as secesh and
as rebel agsnparkizersl,--,Oldio AStateistan:

THE "FALSTAFF" OF THE REPUSLI-
OWL
The readers of the Greene County Re
publican all remonber the "great flourish
of trumpets" with which the Editor of that
delectable sheet took his departure for the
`seat of war" last Summer,--how largely
he talked of what was now to be "did,"
and "did well," how immensely he strut
ted in his anticipated shoulder straps, how
freely he wept over his readers and "wiped
his eyes with the public." It was a Rad
sight and a bitter parting, at least to the
Lieutenant, and will long be remembered
by all who witnessed it or heard his blub
bered "adieu?" We ourselves, who are
rarely given to the melting mood, were so
profoundly affected by a last look at the
embryo hero as he mounted the hurricane
deck of the steamer at the Landing to ex
hibit his fine figure to the admiring dam
sels there assembled, that we wore out a
valuable bandana in about ten minutes,
and had begun on a yellow cotton hand
kerchief borrowed of a bystander, when we
were rudely disturbed by a dog-fight !
" 'Tis ever thus," .tic. &c. The Lieutenant
left, however, notwithstanding our tears,
the dog-fight, and all his "affectin'
sur
roundins," and sent back to his anxious
readers daily bulletins of his approach to
the metropolis, which be reached in due
season, greatly to the relief of the Army
of the Potomac and the denizens of a be
leaguered Capitol. Entering the "hoes
cavalry," he "crossed the Rubicon," re
mained in camp several months in a state
of listless inactivity, dispatching weakly
letters to his readers, apprising them of
the prodigious depth of the mud which,
from time to time, soiled his theretofore
immaculate breeches ! At last, AleClellan
struck his tents and advanced his legions
toward Richmond, the Lieutenant prick
ing up his ears, polishing his steel, and
promising to die or be stuck for his country !
How well he has kept his pledge, is attest
ed by his timely and precipitate evacuation
of the Peninsula, on ascertaining the "Reb
el cusses" were firing bullets, and by his dai
ly parades in uniform on our peacful streets
If he is sick, or hurt, he don't show it ; or
if he stormed a battery, "killed his man,"
or captured a guerrilla in his absence, we
have not been apprised of it, though we
are cognizant of the fact that he cost Un
cle Sam about $llO per month !
That the Lieutenant, should be sensitive
after running such a brilliant military ca
reer, is but natural. Most people would be.
And we expected Mtn to "cat-haul" us ter
ribly for even alluding to it, though we did
so in kindliest and politest phrase.
For the Lieutenant's assurance that we
have attained a degree of amiable excel
lence which cannot be improved on, we ten
der him our best bow and the freedom of our
sanctum in a rag. And in consideration of
this and other compliments he pays us,
we now and here solemnly premise him, if
we go to war, (as we may, one of these
long-come-shorts,) not to emulate his illus
trious example, by showing the "white feath
er" when the "tug of war" comes, and our
brave and confiding lads are facing the
overwhelming lopes of the enemy.
PEAOE.
We have always aimed to be at, peace
and live at peace v ith all men who were
disposed to be manly, honest and frank in
their business and social intercourse, no
matter what. their political faith or affili,
ation9 ; hut until within the last year we
have always had the good fbrtune to be
thrown into association with men who
were willing to accord to others the
rights they claimed for themselves. While
insisting on freedom of political opinion
and association and liberty of speech for
themselves, they were not too narrow and
niggardly and contemptible to allow the
same privileges to us. They were not for
.devouring or demolishiug everybody who
refused to swear in their words or wor
ship their idols. But "timeroain't now as
they used to was," and some people have
grown marvellously wise in their own con-.
ceit. They are not only prodigiously smart,
but (in their opinion,) the peculiar
guardians and custodians of Liberty and
Union ! If we should, still differ with
them on this and other points, however,
and should hereafter, as heretofore, say
and do just what we please in a plain, blunt
way, they must not be. s.nrpriwt. It is a
fashion we have, and is hard to unlearn.--:
The truth is, we shan't dry to unlearn it.
YOUNG MAN, TURN IN.
The Philadelphia Ledger, of 'Thurs
day, says:—"Yesterday was not so
busy a day at the recruiting stations
as for the previous few days, nor
will it he brisk till every able-bodied
young man is ashamed to walk the
streets of Philadelphia,except in uni
form. Married men, men of fami
lies, have already filled the regi
ments from Philadelphia, as the ex
penditures of the Relief Committees
fully attest. These men left home
and families and business without
bounty, and now, when the Govern
ment calls for soldiers, and the sol
diers in the field call for assistance,
young men, with 110 families, such
as might have influenced those now
in the field, Ewe not ashamed to ap
pear on thpublic streets."
Alfa- We commend the above to the
close and prayerffil attention of the re
doubtable hero of the Republican, Lieu
tenant EvANs, who is neither "ashatned
to appear upon the pnblic streets," but
has the effrontery .to call on men to vol
unteer as privates who are many years
his senior and have large families of help
less children looking to them, for bread,
while he, (gallant youth!) without "ohielc
or child," stays at home in consciatg and wel
come security and bespatters the .Democratic
defenders of his country with his venom
and twattle. Noble and chivalric boy l
bow self-sacrificing and magnanimous !
THANKS.
AsA Ross, Esq., of Riehhill, and other
faithful Denwerits and friends, have our
thanks for the new subscribers lately sent
GEN. LAZEAR AND THE RELIEF OF
SICK AND WOUNDED SOLDIERS.
A Washington city correspondent of
the "Pittsburgh Gazette" (one of the most
ultra Republican prints in the country,)
undertakes, in a late letter, to tell the be
nighted people of this District who they
must send to Congress this Fall. The im
pertinence of the fellow is only exceeded
by his meant ess. In his anxiety to serve
a political friend, he is willing to misrep
resent and villify an opponent, than
which nothing could be more unmanly
and more ungenerous. But below is what
this scribbler, signing himself "Visitor,"
has to say of Dr. WALLACE and Gen. LA-
ZEAR
"CONC nrssmrN
"I suppose it is settled that both
Gen. Moorhead and McKnight will
be returned. That being fixed as it
should be, has the Gazette looked
over to the Lawrence, Beaver and
Washington District and observed
how that is going ? Dr. Wallace
will doubtless be our candidate
there, and should be returned by an
overwhelming majority. lie was a
faithful representative for his people,
and dill everything in his power the
past session to bear up the hands of
the President in his battle for the na
tion's life. lie was ever ready,
also, with his sympathy, his aid and
his assistance for the sick and suffer
' ing soldiers here, this winter, spring
' and summer. When a subscription
was taken for the soldiers' Relief
Association, he gave cheerfully and
generously aided with his advice
and countenance. On the other hand,
his opponent, non. Jesse Lazear,
gave not one cent, though he had the
opportunity, and, together with An
cona, Stiles, Johnson and others of
that kidney, kept fast hold of their
purse, carrying out in their private
lives what they practiced in their
places in Congress—a system of dis
couragement and opposition to the
efforts for sustaining the Govern
ment and putting down the slave
holders' rebellion, I trust this fact
will be borne in mind by those who
have friends in the army of the Re
public, and what loyal family has
not ? I trust that a people so thor
oughly and earnestly in favor of our
Government, and of sustaining our
gag and our name, as those in that
_District, may not suffer the misfor
tune of being misrepresented by a
gentleman whose sympathies are
not wholly with truth and freedom.
It behooves all loyal men, regnrdeiss
of party, to rally as one man, and
see to it that our next Congress be
full of men who will know no word
but success in this giant contest, and
who will vote the last dollar to put
down the last rebel in arms against
the Government."
In answer to "Visitor's" charge that
Gen. LAZEAR refused to contribute to the
Relief Association, we have to say that
he attended the meeting at which the as
sociation was organized to co-operate with
others in carrying out its avowed object,
but became satisfied that his time and
means could be better employed in attend
ing, as far as possible, to the sink and
wounded of his own District, presuming
that each member would take the same
view and pet accordingly. That he was
correct and judicious in his course and im
pressions is evidenced by the fact that
many who had contributed to the Associa
tion subsequently informed him that they
regretted having done so, as some of the
parties charged with the duty of distribu
ting the fund were notoriously and in roe
ry respect incompetent and untrustworthy.
L. L. Mucort, Esq., a prominent Republi
can of Waynesburg, and at present a
Clerk in the Interior Department at Wash
ington, in a speech before the Association,
exposed its inefficiency and the shortcomings
of its employees, and a distinguished
Government officer, who was familiar
with its operations and the wants and
suffering of our 64 and wounded, told
gen. LAZEAR it was a failure. So much
for the Association which "Visitor" de
nounces our townsman and others for not
making the almoner of their bounty.
In this county, and to those who know
Gen. 102E:tit, it is unnecessary to say
that the impression "Visitor" attempts to
ereate that he has not done his whole duty
by the brave. lads who have been disabled
in the service of the country, is Weer/y and,
absurdly false. No member of Congress
or p . {ivate citi4e4l af.his means and op
portunities, could have been more generous
with his money or more lavish in his at,
tentions to the sick and wounded soldiers
who needed his help and his encouraging
words. He has gone from hospital
to hospital, and wherever he could
relieve or assist the poor fellows,regardless
of his own convenience and safety from
contagious diseases, and is spoken of by
scores of the warm-hearted lads with the
affection of sons. flow any body could,
question his loyalty or the goodness of his
heart, is matter of surprise to us and to
all who know him. We are quite certain
no such base imputation upon the Gener
al's character was penned or published
with the approbation of Dr. WALtAer.;,
who, we are glad to learn from Gen. LA
ZEAR himself, is not only a high-toned and
courteous gentleman, • but noted for his
liberality and kindness to the sick KJ
diers from his District.
HIT THEM AGAIN.
The Ohio Staten:tan. thus hits otf a certain
class of small-fry, intolerant, fanatical,
mischief-making politicians, who are pe
culiar to this as to other localities, and
who spend three-fifths of their time trying
to stir up strife among their neighbors
"It is ridiculous to see Abolition
Disunionists running about the coun
try professing a love for the Union
and crying out against party, when
at the same time they are urging for
ward the most ultra party measures
that folly and fanaticism eeer• inven
ted, and doing everything in their
power to divide the people and destroy
the Union. Such men, and they are
found in every town, village and
township, have the impudence r.nd
effrontery of Satan himself. They
may be known at once, by the alacri
ty with which they denounce every
man who will not embrace their
infamous dogmas, as a secessionist
and sympathizer with treason. Re
spectable people ought to cut them
on all occasions."
NEW SUBSCRIBERS.
We have bad the pleasure, during the
past three or four weeks of making large
and freque , it additions to oar list of sub
scribers. The gallant Democracy of Little
Greene were never more determined and
hearty in their attachment to their princi
ples and organization than at this time,
and are evidently not to be bullied or "pa
lavered" out of their convictions by a de
signing and unscrupulous Opposition.—
They know. their rights, and have the
nerve and manhood to maintain them, and
have unfaltering and unabated faith in
the great Party of the Right and the People,
which has so long and successfully admin
istered the affairs of the Government, and
which can alone restore the Union by its
moderation, conservatism and habitual re
gard for the restraints and compromises of
the Constitution and the rights of the
States. Democrats hereaway will give a
good account of themselves at the ballot
box this Fall.
SEPARATE PARTY FROM PATRIOT
ISM,
An editorial brother remarks with great
truth and justice that it requires but a
glance at the conduct of a majority of the
Republican party to see that party, and
not patriotism, has dictated their course.
At the start, conciliation was proposed
and urged, as the efficient and appropriate
means to adjust a difficulty that had risen
to such magnitude. We believe that if
this policy of conciliation had been adopt
ed, the work of restoring the Union would
have been easy. The Southern leaders
would not have been directly affected.—
'Many of them were for no compromise;
but they could not have enlisted the people
in the war. The Southern conspirators
were afraid of conciliation. They did
what they could to arrest it. They sat sul
lenly in the Senate refusing to vote upon
measures of compromise. Ambitioi
prompted their course. On the other hand,
party pride and superciliousness led the
Republican party to reject all measures of
conciliation. If the people at home had
been pro)wrly . represented, the result would
have been otherwise; but the members of
Congress, partizan-like, turned generally a
deaf ear to conciliation. It is true the
Government had a right to enforce obedi
ence to the laws; but wise men will ex
haust all means •of conciliation before re
sorting to the sword.
It is vain to recur to this now; except to
place men where they belong in the con
test. These Rept blicans claim to be eager
enough to put down rebellion. But when
called upon, for the sake of the Union, to
sacrifice a little party pride, they were not
equal to the task.
Now, what does this party ? It pursues
with single eye one purpose—its party
schemes and purposes. During the late
session of Congress, the measures for put
ting down this rebellion occupied but little
time, and excited in the Republican party
little interest, except as these means minis
tered to party ends.
They know that the whole inspiration
of this war in the South has been the sla
very question ; not so much for what has
been done as for what is apprehended.—
Have these Congressmen done any thing to
undeceive the people of the South? Have
they dropped the irritating subject? Not
they. It has been their constant theme ;
their entire song from day today and week
to week, As far as they could, they have
verified all that Southern demagogues
charged upon the North.
They have got power under the most sol
emn pledge that they had no power over
slavery in the States. They have raised
armies under a pledge that this war was to
put down the rebellion and enforce the
laws; under repeated pledges not to inter
fere with the institutions of the States;
and yet, have they not, a majority of them,
worked with Satanic diligence to convert
the war into a crusade against slavery, to
destroy it, not to restore the Union ?
They propose now to assume what their
enmities charged upon them, and what
they denied. They diligently shape all
their measures against slavery, without re
card to whether they are adapted to sup
press the rebellion or not, and recklessly
propose to crush out opposition by mere
force. If their pestilent counsels had been
lietcned to, their armies would have been
smothered by crowds of slaves, and the
subsistence provided for the support of the
military eaten out by swarms of negroes.
We have no fears of these fanatics in the
ultimate result. All they can do is to
waste Wood and treasure while. they have
power. 'heir career must atop; it con
tains the elements of its own dissolution.
No people will endure the calamities their
folly will inflict.
To put down these Radicals we rely on
the genuine Union men of the North, who
will come to the work 41 the spirit of their
fathers. We want members of Congress
who will look to the interest of the white
n - 41.11 first ; who will look to a restoration
of the Union as a first object ; who have no
compromise to make with rebellion, but
no party malice to indulge. We care
nothing, for names; hut God save the coun
try just now from the mere partisan, the
bobber-rider and demagogue.
BULLY FOR THE Bth RESERVES.
We learn, through a private source from
the army, that the Bth Reserves (who
were cheered by a New York Regiment
npon their return from one of the most
splendid charges made during the war)
are to be lurnishpj, with Springaeld ri-

BROKE UP . IN A SQUABBLE OR
ROW.
The Republican County Convention,
numbering some twelve full-grown dele
gates, assembled at the Court House on
Monday last, to nominate a County Ticket
and to instruct the conferees who to sup
port for Congress. Notwithstanding Gco.
V. LAWRENCE'S feigned declination of the
candidacy for the latter position, his
friends insisted on his running, though
Dr. WALLACE was present, and on his
prettiest behaviour, and had beer. "play
ing the agreeable" to the Republican
wire-workers here for some three or lour
days before the Convention. Bitt, though
much of a gentleman, and a very narrow,
prejudiced partizan, evidently intolerant of
his political opponents, his friends could not
obtain for him the poor privilege and
shabby honor of haranguing the empty
benches on the occasion. 'Old Cooke"
and a very few others treated him with
"distinguished consideration," but the
rest of the "faithful" gave him. the "cold
shoulder," Poor fellow ! lie is doubtless
ready to exclaim, "save me from my
friends!" After an amusing and discord
ant "jabber," the Convention adjourned,
we understand, "without day."
AN EXCELLENT SENTIMENT.---In the
late Democratic Convention in Fairfield
county, Ohio, Dr. Olds offered the follow
ing Resolution, which was enthusiastically
adopted
"Resolved, That we are in favor of the
Union as it was, the Constitution as it is,
and the negroes where they are."
This is the sentiment of national, patri
otic men everywhere.
11W There are Jots of rampant Aboli
tionists, able-bodied men, who might
leave their families surrounded with all
the comforts, and many of them with the
elegancies, of life, who have not yet en
listed with the ranks. Let such remem
ber that "there are only two sides to this
question—the loyal and the' disloyal."
