THE DEMOCRATIC PART f---THE
UNION, AND ITS RESTORATION.
The Democratic party has always been a
Union party. It regards the preservation
of the integrity of the country as the para
mount political good, and has sought it at
all times and under all circumstances.—
No matter what perils have assailed it, or
how obstinate or formidable its foes, "the
Union of the States" has been the object
of its consistent and unfaltering devotion.
This has been with it, from the infancy of
the organization, an aim paramount in
importance to all others. Its very doc
trines have given vitality to the Union,
while their practical embodiment in meas
ures ot national policy has been found, in
more than one instance, the sole means of
its preservation. Its consistent r .ril for
the constitutional and reserved rights ot
the States and the people, its uniform ef
forts to confine the Federal authority with
in its appropriate and constitutional sphere,
and its endeavors to maintain fraternal
good feeling as well among the people of
the States as between the States and the
General Government, —these have been the
great means, hitherto, of preserving the
.national unity. The history of the coun
try, and of the unfortunate difrerenee*be
tween the two great sections for the Past
forty years, bears us out in these asser
tions and rebukes the upstarts and libel
ers who now, for disgraceful partizan
ends, asperse tho loyalty of the Democrat
ic party. It saved North and South by its
votes and counsels from open rupture in
tthe angry controversy on the admission ot
Missouri, in 18:20, again in the Nullifica
tion troubles of 1832, and still again in
1850 when the slavery agitation ran so
high as to call HENRY CL: V from his
retirement and fill the mind of every pat
riot,. in Congress and out of it., with the
gravest alarm and apprehensions. Again,
after the Presidential election in 1860, it
testified its unswerving attachment to the
Union by imploring the leaders of the
Republican party "to submit to the people
of this country some measure of concilia
tion which would save them from civil
war. It asked that before we should be
involved in the evils and horrors of domes
tic bloodshed, those upon whom it would
bring bankruptcy and ruin, and into whose
Moines it would carry desolation and
death, should be allowed to speak."—
How its appeals were treated, how they
were despised, as its warnings and predic
tions had been sneered and hooted at but
a few months previously, is matter of
too universal notoriety for a word of com
ment. But it is said by Republican poli
ticians, by way of apology for their con
temptuous disregard of Democratic and
conservative counsels at. that critical time,
that " No compromise would have satis
fied the South." This is both absurd and
false. But suppose no measure of concil
iation, which was proposed, had satisfied
them? The tender of it would have met
the reasonanle oxpeetatio:.., of the loyal
people of the North, and would have uni
ted all parties hefe in the prosecution of
a war forced upon us by the wicked perver
sity of ambitious and designing Southern
demagogues. Was not this an object
worth attaining?, Most certainly it was,
if our Republican friends, who are now
elanmring for union end harmony, are to
be believed. But this is a digression.
The Democratic party has not only ex
hibited the most anxious solicitude fcr the
preservation of the Union in the past,
and through all the dangers which men
aced it up to the troubles which resulted
ll) this deplorable war, but it is now Us
'coxiamols ALLY PLEDGED TO ITS PERPETUA
•7O4, give it the Executive and power in
both Houses of Congress, and it will not
only restore an outraged Constitution to
"strength and dominion," but the Union
to all its origins/ vigor. How ? By
bringing the war back to its declared pur
poses,—by prosecuting it in "no spirit of
oppr"ssion, or for any purpose of conquest
or subjugation, or purpose of overthrowing
or interfering with the rights or established
institutions of the revolted States, but to
defewil acid maintain 4he supremacy of the
Constitution, arid to perpethatorkheiUsion,
with sit the dignity, equality, and 3ia4ite
of the several States unimpefed." to
no other way cat 4he struggla hi success
fully terminated, and time will prove it.—
The Rebellion would soon be put down
Under Democratic direction, but not on
the Abolition•pr9gnamme. It is not to be
done by proclamations subverting State
laws and Constitutions, and disregarding
the rights and privileges of freemen, and
every day's experience will demonstrate
the folly and impracticability of the un
dertaking.
THE EVILS OF POLITIOAL ABOLI-
TIONISM.
In 1844, during the Clay campaign,
HORACE OREELEY, issued an electioneering
tract from the Tribune establishment con
taining the following sensible reflections
on the evils of Political Abolitionism.—
They are in striking contrast with the
teachings of the old white-hatted sinner
at the present time:--
"We are not fond of alarming topics, nor
disposed to excite unnecessary anxiety.—
But the evils of political Abolition, rising up
in the North, must be faced, and aHE CON
SEQUENCES IT TENDS TO must be considered.
However averse the people of the free
States may be to slavery, (and we beliet,e
they are almost universally so,) yet they
cannot but feel that the remedy of political
Abolition is worse THAN THE DISEASE ; first,
because the rudeness and violence of the
treatment only aggravates it; and next, ,
because they fear that the medicine, if ad
ministered as proposed, will kill both the
patient and doctor. A DISSOLUTION OF
THE UNION WOULD BE AS CER
TAIN as any effect of a moral cause that
can be reckoned. Nor is it likely that
this would be the end. The political as
perities and exasperations that would
grow out of such a conflict would them
se!vos naturally be breedeis of other con
clusions; and it would be strange if SOME
CHRISTIAN or chieftain would not rise up in
the struggle to make slaves of all freemen,
and bind in stronger chains those whom
by such means, it is proposed to set free.
"We are a family cf States, bound to
gether by a covenant solemnly ratified,
which prescribes THE RIGHTS of each. 111
this family concord is beautiful ; family
quarrels are the worst oral!. Civil war it
tl.e most difficult to be brought to an end.
Look to Spain. Will any one say, that
such a movement as the POLITICAL ABOLITION
OF THE NORTH, does not put in jeopardy
the peace of this union, AND THE UNION
ITSELF? And can any human fore
sight tell what scenes of life it is likely
to produce, if it should be encour
aged to pass on its way towards the su
preme power of the nation, which is now
its avowed aim ?"
Our readers will not tail to note how
literally liorace's predictions have been
verified
Henry Clay held the following language
about the Abolition doctrine :
"I am bold to say, hat if the doctrines
of ultra politictl Abolitionists had been
seriously promulgated at the epoch of our
revolution, our glorious independence
would have been achieved—never! never !"
Daniels. Dickinson, of New York, who
has lately gone over to the Abolition
camp, thus characterised his Lear-found
allies in the Presidential canvass of 1860:
"If Satan had been commissioned to
scourge mankind, he could not have better
fulfilled his commission than by turning
an Abolition Disunionist, and preaching
the doctrines they preach. * * *
What do they care for Slavery ? They
would seek to rivet slavery upon thirty
millions of people, and upon humanity
for all time to come in order that their
mad, crude, incendiary ideas, should be
carried out, in reference to a few Blacks.'

money is very plenty, but we have
found it extremely scarce among our
patrons. We have not received as
much since we issued what we
thought, an urgent appeal, as would
pay the actual expenses of the office

however, is attested by the fact that we have

SUDDEN DEATH.
SAMUEL LONGSTRETH, a worthy farmer of
Wayne tp., died suddenly on Thursday
last, at Lemley's Hotel, in this place, of
disease of the Kidneys. He was some
45 years of age, and leaves a family. Mr.
Lemley and his exeellent lady did every
thing that kindness and humanity could
suggest for the relief of the poor man's
brief but intense suffering.
WEST VIRGINIA ADMITTED.
The lower House of Congress has pass
ed the Senate bill admitting the new State
of West Virginia. The vote was 96 to
55. The bill, however, is not likely to be
immediately and definitely acted upon by
the President, owing to all the circum
stances attending the erection of the new
State being, of such importance in cennec
tioa with the Constitutional question as to
require profound consideration.
A rntz STOLE BOWL
Our neighbor and friend, Witt. A.
PORTER, Esq., has recently purchased
the "Greene ll.mse" and fitted up a
Store Room in the East end of it
which, in point of finish, size and ac
commodations, is unsurpassed in the
county. Ile has also just opened at
his new establishment, as well as at
the old store room up-town, a magnifi
cent assortment of Dry Goods, Trim
mings, Fancy Articles, Clothing for
men and boys, BootA, Shoes, Ite.
The stock is both large and varied,
and adapted to the wants of the com
munity, and will be sold at very mod
erate prices.
Mr. PoirrEu deserves great success
for his energy and enterprise, which
have placed him in the front rank of
merchants in this section of country.
"Joe," too, is a "whole team, big dog
and tar-bucket under the wagon" in
the way of selling Goods, and will
still "do the agreeable" at the old
concern up street.
CONGRESS.
On the first day of the session, the
House tabled a Preamble and Resolution
offered by Mr. Cox, of Ohio, condemning
the wholesale system of arrests adopted
and practiced by the Administration dur
ing the past year. Also, a Resolution
submitted by Mr. Richardson inquiring
what citizens of Illinois are now confined
in Forts Warren, Lafayette and Delaware
and the old Capitol prison, and any other
forts and places of confinement, and upon
what charges they were arrested, and
also the asking the President to inform
the House of the names of the persons ar
rested in Illinois and confined in prisons
outside the limits of said State ; what
charges are against them, by whom made,
and by whose authority the arrests were
made.
Mr. Vallandigham offered a resolution,
which was adopted, that the Committee
on the Judiciary he instructed to inquire
and report to the House, at an early day,
by what authority or constitutional law,
if at.y, the Postmaster General undertakes
to decide what newspapers may, and what
shall not, be transmitted through the
mails of the United States.
The Senate has had a very important
debate on the subjet of military arrests,
in which Senator Sherman thought many
of these arrests wet e great mistakes, and
every arrest ought to be reported to Con
gress, and the reason for it given, and if
this power is to be unlimited, the Govern
ment will become oppressive. Congress
should throw around this suspension of
the writ all the guards and checks neces
sary to preserve the rights of citizens and
the character of the Government. The
people have been exasperated at the man
ner of these arrests and discharges, and it
was due to the country, and justice and
the party that uo man should be arrested
for light causes, and these causes and
charges should be properly explained and
set forth that they may be known, and
Congress has a perfect right to call fur all.
the information that they may go before
the people, ane. be able to explain and de
fend all these arrests. Trumbull express
' ed about the same ideas.
A joint Resolution has been introduced
in the Senate by Mr. Clarke heartily ap
proving the President's Proclamation of
Freedom, and recommending him to em
ploy it and all other means to crush the
rebellion. The Abolitionists say it will
pass both Houses by large majorities.
Mr. Stevens, of Pa., introduced a bill
to indemnify the President, and other per
eons, for suspending the privileges of the
writ of habeas corpus, and the acts done in
pursuance thereof. The bill passed; 90
against 45.
Representative Hickman's bill, intro
duced Monday, authorizes the President
to organize regiments of colored men, not
exceeding one hundred in number, giving
authority to uniform them in some dis
tinctive manner, and arm them, enlisting
them for a term of seven years or less; the
privates to receive six dollars and a half
per mouth, and the same allowance for
clothing and rations as white soldiers ; non
commissioned officers to have the same
pay as the same grades in the regular
army , commissioned officers, either white
or colored, to be graduates of colleges,
and to receive twice the pay of the same
rank in the infantry of the regular army.
Each company to be allowed a teacher or
chaplain's clerk. The bill also provides
for a line of steamers not less than 1,600
tons, to run between New York and Libe
ria, touching Norfolk and Port Royal, to
carry such field men as desire to emi
grate. It also gives the proceeds of con
fiscated rebel property to carry out the
provisions of the bill.
WOMEN'S LABOR IN BOSTON.
The Boston Herald says
"Wc arc informed that a large num
ber of women in this city and vicini
ty are hired to make woolen shirts
for soldiers at the pitiable pittance of
five cents apiece ! They are hired
by contractors who get good prices
out of the G, , vernmeat,, and are grow
ing rich out of the business. We are
further informed that a smart wo
man can make two of these shirts
in a day, thereby earning ten cents.—
If she makes more than two she must
slight her work,- and then the soldiers
suffer part of the swindle. The wo
men who are forced by stern necessi
ty to do such work at such a price,
or starve, may be the wives, daught
ers or sisters of soldiers, who have
fallen in battle, or who still stand
for the flag of the Union with the
Army of the Republic."
This happens in the capital of the State
i which is so much concerned about the
'condition of the poor negroes in the South.

TEN REBEL PRISONERS MOT.
Some weeks ago, Gen. McNeil, com
manding a portion of the Govegnment
troops in Missouri, shot ten rebel prisoners
at Palmyra, because he suspected an old
man by the name of Allison (who had
been in his service,) had been taken pris
oner and murdered by the Confederates.—
A Missouri correspondent, however, of the
Columbus (Ohio) Crisis now writes that
"the man for whom Gen. McNeil shot 10
men some time ago hag returned home
alive and well—and his wife, before the
execution of those men, went to him
(Gen. McNeil,) and plead with him to
wait and see if he had been killed, before
he executed those men, and the brute
spurned her. 1 can write no more."
Now, inquires the Washington Review,
what will he the result of such proceed
ings? The following order from Jeff.
Davis, we hope, will open the eyes of the
authorities and secure the punishment of
the assassin McNeil. Every man who
has a son, a brother or•friend in the army
—and who has not—is interested in see
ing a stop put to a system of retaliatory
warfare, that may make every Union per
son's life the price for such acts of barbar
ity ! Every invalid in our hospitals, and
with our army, may be made a sacrifice to
wipe out the disgraceful acts of some
commissioned outlaw. Will not the gov
ernment, blind, blundering and imbecile
as it is, see the necessity of stopping these
butcheries?

A MURDER BY THE ADMINISTRA
TION.
An American citizen has been murdered
in cold blood for the crime of being a
Democrat! Mr. A. L. Fessenden, of Wis
consin, for months past a political prisoner
in St. Louis, by order of the "present na
tional administration," has died in chains.—
A few hours after his death, a n order was
received at the prison for Mr. Fessenden's
release, as it had been discovered that the
accusation against him could not be sus
tained. But it was too late ! His proud
spirit had departed, and his blood now
cries from the ground to his fellow country
men for vengeance. Oh how long will
justice sleep!
ANOTHER VICTIM.
Last week we noticed the case of a Mr.
Fessenden, of Wisconsin, who died a vic
tim of unjust imprisonment, by this ad
ministration, in St. Louis. This week we
have to chronicle another case—one thßt
comes nearer home—the death of Capt.
John Elwood, of this' county, by his own
hands, in one of the political bastiles at
Washington. We have no details of this
lamentable death—which leaves a desola
ted home—a young and broken hearted
widow and two little children who will
never again prattle with childish joy at
the return of a father.— Washington Review.
Stir The majority in the present Con
gress promptly lay unpleasant resolutions
on the table. This showts pretty well
the animus of the body. These resolutions
only sleep, however. One year hence they
will be otherwise disposed or. The Ad
ministration should look to the future, for
although slow in coming, it is sure. Bet

tions be answered now, for they will have
to be answered someday not far distant.
riven PRFAUTATION- TO MAJ. I.•
J. CREt---13P.tgCH OF GEN. HOWE.
Just before the departure of the 108th
Regiment of Pennsylvania Militia from
Pittsburgh for the seat of war, and when
paraded for marching to the cars, Maj.
Cree, of Fayette county, was presented,
by John F. Jennings, Esq., of this city,
with a very handsome regulation sword,
together with a sash and belt. The gift is
very appropriate, and has fallen into good
hands. Major Cree is a true patriot, and
although not possessing any large amount
of military experience, will make a good
officer.
The presentation speech was made by
Gen. Howe, and responded to by Capt.
Cree, uncle of the Major.
We are pleased to observe that Gen.
Howe paid a deserved tribute to the gal
]ant Col onel of the Regiment—Col. Jack,
of Westmoreland county—and that he did
not, at the same time, omit to say a kind
word to the rank and file.
Take it all in all, no regiment composed
of better material has ever left this city,
and we shall look for good accounts from
The regiment being drawn up in solid
square, Gen. Howe spoke as follows:
Major John Jennings C'rcc:—l have been
requested by tny friend and t eighbor, John
F. Jennings, than whom no community
can boast a better citizen or truer patriot,
to present you this sword. As a tribute
to his distinguished worth and early
friendship for your father, you were chris
tened with his name. He recognized in
you, Sir, the manly virtues whic:i distin
guished the father, and appreciating those
qualities of head and heart which thus
far iu life have served to regulate your
own conduct, he desires now, on the eve of
your departure from home to participate
in one of the most eventiul contests in the
world's hist Dry, that you ahonld bear with
you to the field this token of his regard.
While he has thus aptly selected the
sword as the titling emblem alike of your
mission and the rank to which the Gov
ernor and the preference of your comrades
in arms have assigned you, it cannot fail
to remind you that your special errand to
the field is. to vindicate the violated laws
of your country.
In all time, since first revealed to the as
tonished gaze of the conscience-stricken
parents of onr race at the garden of Eden,
it has been regarded as the symbol of
Primitive Justice and the majesty of the
Law.
The Constitution of our fathers, that
great fundamental law intended to bind
indissolubly, through all coming time, the
sevel al States of the Union, is imperiled
by the machinations of wicked and am
bitious men. Powerful military organiza
tions of conspirators and traitors seek the
overthrow of the wisest and best govern-
went ever instituted amongst men.—
Against their marshalled forces let this
sword be wielded until the last overt ene
my of our institutions shall be brought to
submission, and the Constitution and laws
again respected and obeyed throughout
our whole country.
Let me congratulate yon, sir, upon hav
ing associated with you as the chief com
manding officer of your regiment, one in
whom both officers and men may safely
confide. Colonel Joseph Jack, in obe
dience to the instincts of a genuine pa
triotism and the unanimous call of his
neighbors, has relinquished the comforts
of his home to share with them the pri
vations of the tented field, and to care for
their wants ; and I am sure that you all
feel that the trust could not have been
confided to better hands.
To your compatriots of every rank let
me say that you bear with you a high
commission from your fellow citizens at
large, who will watch with deepest inter
est your every movement, and will not
fail to award to each one the true position
to which his deeds may entitle him in
the recorded annals of a rescued country.
And may God grant that When you and
your comrades shall return, you may be
able to bring with you the sword returned
to its scabbard, and along with it the
branch of the olive as the emblem of
peace to our now distracted country, and
the taken that the waters of fatricidal
strife have subsided, and long may you be
permitted to survive and enjoy the fruits
of your participation in so glorious an
achievement.
Major Cree, on receiving the sword, said,
that being unaccustomed to speaking in
public, his uncle, Capt. Cree, of the same
regiment, would say a few words in his
behalf—lie would only say that he would
endeavor not to dishonor the giver.
Capt. Cree then came forward and said:
I have been requested by my esteemed
relative to tender to Mr. Jennings some
acknowledgment for his handsome testi_
monial of his confidence and esteem.--
We are admonished by sacred history,
that it is not becoming " for him who
girdeth on the harness to boast himself as
he that putteth it off." Then, this, is not
the time to indulge in extravagant prom
ises of valor to be exhibited on the field—
but I hazard nothing in saying that, so
far as honesty of purpose and a patriotic
desire to do his whole duty are concerned,
the confidence reposed in my kinsman is
not misplaced. This sword may safely
be confided to his keeping—the gift will
never be dishonored.
After the conclusion of Captain Cree's
remarks, Brigadier General Canby ad
dressed the regiment in a few words of
most excellent advice. He admonish
ed the officers that in the important un
dertaking in which they were about em
barking, strict discipline end a considerate
regard for the health and comfort of their
men were matters of the utmost impor
tance. He urged upon the men, as promo
tive of their own best interests, a ready
and cheerful compliance with the orders
of their superiors; that unity of purpoSe
and action could only be preserved in this
way, and was indispensable to success.
