"A sentiment not to be appalled, corrupted or
Compromised. It knows no baseness; it cowers to
no clanger; it oppresses no weakness. Destructive
only of despotism, it is the sole conservator of lib
erty, labiar and property. It is the sentiment of
Freedom s of equal rights, of equal obligations--the
law of nature pervading the law of the land."

DEMOCRATIO LOYALTY.
The men who question the loyalty of the
Democratic party, who denounce its lead
ers and impugn its motives, know that
they speak falsely and slanderously. They
know that the history of that party has
been one of consistent and earnest devo
tion to the Constitution and the Union,
and that it has been the conservator of
both in times of imminent and acknowl
edged peril. In peace, it has battled eve
ry form of fanaticism and political error
which threatened the harmony and unity
of the country ; and in war, it has un
sheathed its sword and wielded it vigor
ously and manfully as well against foreign
as domestic enemies. Its fidelity to the
Constitution, its anxiety at all times that
the acts of our rulers, whether of its
own selection or not, should conform to
the letter and spirit of that sacred instru
ment, and that the legislation of the
country should also accord with it, has
i
become, strange as it may seem, matter'
of reproach and taunt with opponents. , The
attachment of the party to the Union has
also been so ardent and conspicuous a
characteristic, as to subject its members
to the jeers of "Union Savers" and
"Union ShSiekers." Especially was this
the case in the last Presidential cam
paign, when the party was struggling
vainly, but bravely and earnestly, against
sectional dogmas and sectional organiza
tions. It foresaw then the direthl ills and
formidable difficulties likely to grow
out of the success of a party, and the
adoption of a policy, on the subject of sla
very,.which could only look for support to
-one portion of the country, and it sought
Eby all rightful and proper means to avert
the evils which :t knew would be hard to
cure if once inflicted. But its labors were
lost, and its counsels disregarded.
Subsequently, when the matters of dif
ference between the North and South
were likely to be accommodated, when a
Compromise was proposed which appealed
for support to every patriot who could
forget party in his love of country, the
Democracy, in Congress and out of Con
gress, were zealous, persistent and unani
mous in their vot,ss and efforts to secure
its adoption. But their remonstrances
and admonitions were again disregarded,
and a "little blood-letting" pronounced by
Republican leaders the only remedy for
the national ills and the only solution of
the national differences.
Such is the. record the Democratic
party presented at the opening of the
war. Overruled in its judgment, and
spurned for its counsels, it nevertheless
pledged itself at the outset of the rebel.
/ion "to defend and maintain the suprema
cy of the Constitution and preserve the.
Union with its dignities, equalities and
the rights of the several States unimpair
ed." how well and - faithfully this pledge
has been redeemed, let facts, patent to all
men, attest. The hundreds of thousands
of brave and stalworth lads this loyal old
organization has contributed to the Union
armies evidence, better than great swell
ing words and vaunting professions, the
'hearty and profound devotion olthe Dem
ocratic masses to the Union and Constitu
tion of our fathers. Their treasure, too,
has been freely and cheerfully expended
in bounties to soldiers and in supporting
the families and dependants of the gal- :
lant men who have flocked to the defence!
of the national standard, while their Rep
resentatives in Congress have voted, with-
out stint, every dollar asked to prose- I
cute the war vigorously and successfully.
In view of facts so notorious and eon
. . . .
vincing, it is matter of surprise how even
partizan bigotry and intolerance could lead
Republican and Abolition politicians to
question the patriotism of the Democratic
party, and to stigmatize it as "sympathiz
ing with Rebellion." Such a_ course, on
the part of its opponents, is not only un
manly and ungenerous, but 'basely unjust
and_ disgraeeful The imputations they at
tempt to cast on its loyalty spring from no
lack of the real love ofcountry which is and
ought to be its very vitality and the vitali
ty of all parties, but had their origin in
the admitted fact that the Democracy have
insisted and will insist on confining the
war to the great object of restoring the
Union as it was under the Constitution as it is,
and have opposed and will oppose any
and every attempt to pervert it to negro
emancipation. This is the real "head and
front of their offending," and the people
know it, and will know what consideration
should be given the party drill masters
and demagogues who asperse the loyalty
of the only political organization in the
country which has never faltered in its
duty to the Government and in 'devotion
to Constitutional liberty.
So far as President Lincoln has resisted
the rash and impolitic projects and extreme
legislation of the radical Abolitionists
who have persecuted him with their atten
tions and importunities since the very mit
break of the rebellion, his course has the
entire and cordial approval of the Demo
cratic party. We honor hint for the inde
pendence and manly firmness lie has
shown with and toward Abolition conspir
ators and thnaties on more than one occa
sion, and we devoutly hope he may con
tinue to turn a deaf ear to their mis
chievous counsels.—that he may hold on
the way, courageously and perseveringly,
which is plainly marked out by his official
obligations and by the high duties he
owes the country in this grave and terri
ble emergency.
THE WAR MEETING.
The County War meeting, held at this
place on Friday last, was largely attended,
and the greatest harmon'y and enthusiasm
prevailed. After the organization had been
effected, Judge LINDSEY introduced R. M.
Gtasos, Esq., of Washington, to the assem
blage, who addressed it in an exceed
ingly happy and eloquent strain for nearly
an hour. lie was tbllowed by I'. Sutra,
Esq., of Va., and Rev. C. SMITIf, of Fay
ette county. At the conclusion of the
speeches, a series of appropriate Resolu
tions were adopted.
Men of all parties evince a settled deter
mination to put down this atrocious Re
bellion, and are willing to lay money and
life on the altar of the country. If a lit
tle titre could be given, no draft would be
necessary in Greene county, as our citizens
are fully awake to their duty in this im
portant crisis.

A SOLDIER'S OPINION.
A Volunteer in the Union Army writes
home that "Congress, at its late session,
only left one thing undone, and that was
to make the fi—d nigger a legallender."
WHAT FORNEY THINKS OF WEN
DELL PHILLIPS.
The last Philadelphia 'Weekly Pregs
contains a scathing leader on WENDELL
Pitman, the Representative man of North
ern anti-slavery fanaticism, As we have
long held Phillips up as a bold and arrant
traitor, who ought to be silenced or
"squelched," we can fully endorse all
Forney says of him and other men of his
school. If there is any disloyalty at the
North, it is confined mainly, if not entire
ly, to these noisy and mischievous fanatics.
Yet no attempt has been made, as yet, to
crush out their treason or rebuke their
abominable and disgraceful utterances.—
Why is this ? Is one class of traitors any
better than another, or less dangerous?
and are Abolitionists to be exempt from
the pains and penalties so promptly visited
on other offenders ? We cannot believe the
Government would be thus partial in mak
ing its arrests and meting out its punish
ments, and shall expect Phillips and his
followers to feel• its strong hand ere long.
Below is FORNEY'S article :
"When Mr. WENDELL PHILLIPS admitted
his devotion to the Union some months
ago, many rejoiced that such a splendid
intellect had been added to the list of our
natiot.al defenders. lie bad been a repre
sentative man. Lle belonged to a class
which, though small, was active, persis
tent, gifted, and entitLd to respect. Ills
followers were wedded to an idea. It was
impracticable, ephemeral, and possessed
neither substance nor power, but it had
been a source of irritation and agitation.
When the war burst upon us in uncontrol
lable fury, we had butt one anxiety, and that
was the union of every sect, opinion, or
prejudice in defence of the Union. The
question was not what men had believed
or with whom had they acted, but how
did they believe and act in the present cri
sis? Every man—the Abolitionist, the
Republican, the Conservative, the Douglas
Democrat, the Breckinridge Democrat was
welcome to the Union cause. We asked
no question but the, tru;stion of loyalty,
and accepted no test but the test of alle
giance. We had hoped that Mr. Phillips,
with his rare powers as an orator, and his
influence with the eccentric class that be
lieved in him, would have been useful to
the country. In this hope we have been
sadly disappointed.
Wendell Phillips is a traitor in his soul.
He differs from Jefferson Davis in this
only, that -Davis has drawn the sword,
Phillips is effective without it. We can
conceive of no doctrines more horribly dan
gerous than those contained in his recent
speeches. There is a fury and reckless
ness in his invectives which almost amounts
to a man ia. fie denounces everybody,
and believes in no one. Mr Lincoln is "a
turtle," "a first-rate second-rate man,"—
General McClellan is incompetent, and
takes an hour to decide a quest mu and say
no. "Let this Union be dissolved, in God's
name," he says in a burst of raving rhetor
ic: "anti the corner-stone of a new one he
laid, on which r•hall be engraver forever,
`Equality in a political sense for every man
who is born in the world.' Cease believ
ing in the Cabinet. There is nothing there
for you. Pray God to awaken yonr Pres
ident•to a sense of his position and the in
terests at stake." "President Lincoln,
through coward fear of the Border States,
keeps McClellan in the position he holds.
But the day will come—and it is that that
hurts all—when Lincoln will confess he
never believed 'in McClellan." "I do not
say that McClellan is a traitor; but 1 410
say, that so far he could not have done
more to help traitors than he has done."
Language like this can find no parallel in
the columns of the Richmond En q uirer,—
It serves every purpose that the most ma
lignant enemy of the Republic could de
sire. It serves to destroy public confi
dence, to weaken our faith in our constitu
ted authorities, to despair, and become
sick, weary, and disheartened.
We have no objection to these wild and
extreme denunciation in times of peace.—
They become subjects of jesting and mer
riment, and serve no other purpose than to
create a smile of pity or a sneer of con
tempt. But now, when hearts are lacera
ted by daily bulletins from bloody fields of
battle, and the public mind is sensitive
on the utterance of every public man, and
extremely sensitive in relation to our gen
erals and statesmen, are these fierce false
hoods to be permitted? There is not a
traitor in the land who will not exult over
these declarations. In Richmond, they
will be read with joy ; in unfriendly Lon
don they will be greeted with exultation
and mockery. "What strength, what dig
city has this Republic of America, which
can permit traitors in Boston to assail it
from the forum; while traitors in Rich
mond assail it from the battle-field ? It
sends men to Fort Warren kir attacking
the Government and disowning the oath of
allegiance, and yet it permits men in Bos
ton—men of smooth speech and choice
words and eloquent phrases—to glory in
the fact that they disdained to owe alle
giance to the country of their birth, and at
the same time sought to divide and destroy
it." These are the words which these
speeches of Wendell Phillips will excite,
and we are very much afraid they will be
truly spoken.
That man is a traitor who refuses to sus
tain the Government ; to defend it against
its enemies ; to respect its constituted au
thorities; to submit to its laws; to give al-
legiance to its Constitution. That man
is a traitor who, in times of danger, per
traits any sentiment or prejudice to weaken
his love for the Union, or give comfort and
consolation to the enemy. That man is a
traitor who finds cause for exultation in
our national discomfiture or misfortune.—
Mr. Phillips has done these things and
more. "Davis is perfectly satisfied with
his successes. They are greater than lie
anticipated—far greater; and, if he can
possibly float them and a few more, Eng
land will, as she ought to, recognize the
Southern Confederacy." Can anything be
more treasonable than this? We have
yet to see the utterance of a traitor, Seces
sionist or Breckinridge Democrat, as full
of malignity; and there is no reason in the
world why he should not meet with the
treatment, which loyal men. everywhere be
stow upon the traitor, the Secessionist, or
the Breckinridge Democrat.
No eloquence--no number of personal
gifts—no sincerity or honesty of purpose
can permit the unrebuked utterance of
such sentiments as these. Mr. Phillips
may be an honest man, but we say of him
as he says of Air. Lincoln, "lie may lie
honest, but who cares whether he is lion
est or not ? What has his honesty to do
with the matter? He is an enemy—a po
laical nuisance—a traitor, and a pernicious
man. ' If it can be done by any social or
political influence, we shall be satisfied;
but if not, there is short and easy road from
his home near Boston to a casemate in
Fort Warren."
KEE
ser There is a certain class of Republi
cans who mistake their feelings of bitter
unscrupulous partizanship and call it pa
triotism ! They may be known by the con
stant cry. they keep up about "traitors,"
and the great care they take to avoid meet
ing a real traitor on the battle-field They
are fire-side patriots.
SUPERINTENDENT OF THE DRAFT.
We are gratified to learn that Rurus B.
CAMPBELL, Esq., of this place, has been
appointed by Marshal MURDOCH Superin
tendent of the Draft for Greene county,
and has been notified to report forthwith
at the Marshal's o ffice in Pittsburgh for
the purpose of being duly qualified to act,
receive power to appoint his subordinates,
obtain the necessary blanks, etc. The en
tire work of enrollment must be completed
about the first of Septetther.
We shall be disappointed if Mr. Camp
bell does not discharge the duties of his
appointment with fairness and impartiali
ty. The assistants lie has thus far ap
pointed to make the enrollment in the
several townships have been nearly equally
divided between Democrats and Republi-
EEC!
LATE ARRESTS.
Some days ago three secessionists of
Shawneetown, Illinois, were arrested by
prder of Col. Kirkham, on the charge of
uttering disunion sentiments. They were
taken to Cairo for trial. It is the inten
tion to follow up the matter.
CAIRO, Aug. 17.—Judge Joshua Allen, a
member of Congress frotn the Ninth Dis
trict, was arrested and brought here,
charged with discouraging enlistments.
J nage Buff, of Marion county, was ar
rested on a similar charge.
CLEARED OuT.—A riot was raised in Leb
anon, Ohio, cn Wednesday, by a man
known as "Sonny Phillips" expressing se
cession proclivities. Ile was put in jail,
and the mob then assailed the office of
the Dentocratic Citizen and destroyed it.—
The Vallandingliamism of the paper was
assigned as the cause
Last week Wm. 11. PALMER, candidate
for Sheriff, and .lone GuAm, a Crerman
Constable of Scioto township, in Jackson
county, and Jefferson Conner, were arrest
ed by United States Marshal Sands, with
assistance and taken—we have not learned
where—perhaps East.
Mr. Palmer was in our army ten months
and honorably discharged, for an affection
of the spine, which rendered him unfit for
duty. Ins return, not being able to
work, lie announced himself a candidate
for Sheriff.
A New York telegram, dated Thurs 'ay,
says that D. A. Mahooney, editor of the
Dubuque (Iowa) Herald, was crested at
an early hour in the morning, by the U.
S. Marshal, charged with dis'ourageiiig
enlistments.
AN ABOLITITIONIST ARRESTED AT
LAST.
The New Fork Herald, or IVednesilay
last, Says
"co Monday last Mr. D. Plumb, a rio
ted abolitionist, and Mr..lohn B. Shuttle
worth, said to be a secessionist , were ar
rested by Provost Marshal Kennedy on the
charge of uttering sentiments calculated
to discourage enlistments. Mr. Plumb is
accused of saying that President Lincoln
ought to be hung; that be would advise
men not to enlist until the war was pro
perly conducted and the negroes permitted
to be used as soldiers, and that, if drafted,
he should resist and advise others to re
sist. Mr. Shuttleworth is reported to have
declared thatthe South was right; that he
hoped McClellan's army would be bagged.
and th,.t, it' he should be forced to go to
war, he would not fight for the North.—
tinder the recent order of Secretary Stan
ton these men are clearly guilty or a crime
which will be punished by impressment
into the army. In the case of the Cordons
—father and son—in Boston lately, it was
deciderl that private conversations of this
character might not render the parties con
cerned liable to arrest ; but the utterances
of these men were open, and their effect
undoubtedly pernicious to recruiting.
This is, we believe, the first case in
which one of our authorities has been just
enough and fair enough to arrest an aboli
tionist Ihr disloyalty. Pocket, sympathiz
ers with secession have been imprisoned
from every section o 1 the coon try; peace
organs, in almost every State, have been
threibly suppressed; but no disunion abo
litionist. has before been arrested, no trea
sonable abolition organ has been suppress
ed.
A-OALL TO THE "WIDE AWAKES."
At a recent "war meeting" in New Jer
sey, a resolution was passed calling upon
the Wide Awakes who were so conspicu
ous in the election of Mr. Lincoln, in 180
to "fall into the ranks and support of their
country in this hour of danger." The
Southerners tined to believe that the Wide
Awakes were organized and trained for the
purpose of invading the South, but the
history of the war shows that there was
no real ground for the fear. Southern
darkness hasn't yet been illuminated by the
first ray from one of those fatuous lanterns.
They used to say—" You can't kick the
South into war," but they meant all the
while they couldn't be kicked into the ar
my if war came.
Aer DEAN Mons°Nu, Esq., the Chair
man of the New York Democratic State
Committee, 11118 recently 'given $2OOO to
wards the fund for the encouragement of
enlistments in that State. Yet he is daily
denounced by the abolition press ' , as a sym
pathizer with secession." Upon this the
Cooperstown Journal well remarks:
"Dangerous man, that Dean Richmond
The Republicans of the radical order
should keep a close eve on him. lie is in
favor of the Constitution as it is and the
Union as it was"—and has given his thou
for their restoration. lie is Chairman of
Democratic Committee—a political body
which has been roundly abused by the
whole Republican press since the war com
menced. Cagger is its Secretary—and he
has also has given liberally of his ample
means to carry on the war. _Dangerous
fellows, these "Caggerite Democrats!"
Z A Maine editor thus distinguishes
between different sorts of patriotism :
Some esteem it sweet to die for one's coun
try ; others regard it sweeter to live for
one's country; and yet others hold it sweet
er to live on one's country. The last, says .
the Hartford Times, are a numerous tribe,
the shoddy patriots, and they are eager to
denounce all who don't agree with them,
as "rebel sympathizers."
110- The abolition Appeal at this time
for the arming of the negro, has just this
significance abroad. It is a shanieful con
fession that the twenty millions of the
North cannot put down the rebellion of a
majority of the eight millions of the South.
After a sixteen months trial, the majority
party in the North give the contest up un
less they can introduce the slave population
into their side of the fight. Is that the
opinion which the country desires .should
go,to Europe ? In all places where ne- '
groes can be useful they have been very
properly used, and should so continue to
be. Let us stop there.—Chicago Times.
Greeley says that the fighting men
of his party, who have never smelt battle,
number 900,000. More shame for them,
but the draft will operate on some of these
windy patriots. Instead of staying at
home and making mischief by denouncing
loyal Democrats as "secessionists," they
will have to face and fight the real seces
sionists—an earnest work, and of a very
different sort from that they have been en
gaged in for the last year or more.
jEgir PARSON 13aows.Low, in a recent
speech, characterized John Slidell as "the
Ludt cut of original sin."
