CI agittotur4 tHEllgtt R. W. JONF.S, JAS. S. JENNINGS, lEditors "A sentiment not to be appalled, corrupted or gnsopromised. It knows no baseness; it cowers to no dsneer; it oppresses no weakness. Destructive only of despotism, it is the sole conservator of lib erty, labor and property. It is the sentiment of Freedom, of equal rights, of equal obligations--the law of nature pervading the law of the land." WAYNESBURG, PA.

All who fail to pay up by the IST OF APRIL NEXT, will have their papers discontinued and their accounts put in course of immediate collection.

There will be a meeting of the Democ racy of Morris township, Greene County, held at Nineveh, in said township, on Saturday, 28th of Feb., 1863, for the pur pose of forming a Club, drafting resolu tions, etc. MANY DEMOCRATS. POLITICS AND POLITICIANS. With a great tuany'men, party politics consist of a system of tricks. To get and keep office is the sent-total of their effort and ambition, and to circumvent their darling aim, they are "all things to all teen and nothing long." They "stoop to conquer,"—they descend to every species of deceit and meanuess,—they know how to "smile, and smile, and be a villain" still. They sacrifice their manhood, their sin cerity, truth, honor, integrity, everything that makes real nobility of character, in thier greedy pursuit of office and gain.— They profess friendship for everybody, par ticularly for other office-seekers who have votes at their command. They "bargain and sell," and trade off the voters they control, or think they control, like sheep in the shambles. Having no settled polit cal principles,—no other attachment for the party with which they claim to be identified than that which springs from the hope of pay and preferment, it is mat ter of little difference to them who they strike hands with, or who they sell them selves to. Through the disgraceful, mercenary and selfish combination of politicians of this kind, honest men, and men of modest, but undoubted merit and capability, are too rarely able to secure a nomination. Some one of this pliant and hypocritical gen try, who "crook the supple hinges of the knee that thrift may follow fawning," are always ready to serve the public in any official capacity, whether it pays twenty dollars a year or a thousand. If qualified for the places they seek, well; if not, it makes little difference: they are in the "ring," have done yeoman service for their fellow-aspirants and fellow-sinners, and must have their "pay." :So it goes trom season to season ; and in many in stances the officers are parcelled out and disposed of, by these men, for years to corn e. A distinguishing characteristic of the :men we speak of are their suspicions of the candor and reliability of other men.— They are so accustomed to the practice of dissimulation themselves, that they ex pect little else than duplicity from others, and, indeed, are disappointed when they encounter anything but a hypocrisy as consummate as their own, and as cun ning and calculating. The class we refer to are a positive in fliction on any political party, and their tactics and course invariably damage the cause they affect to espouse with great seal and earnestness. They disgust frank and straight-forward men, and often keep them from the polls or drive them from the organization. They are nuisances, and should be everywhere abated. LET THE PEOPLE ABATE THEM. In many counties, on account of the intrigues and chicanery of this class of politicians, and the diagractful means they employ to insure success, good and true men are often restrained from offering themselves as candidates. The conse quence is, that the public are served, in !many instances, by incompetent and neg ligent, if not dishonest officers. The rem edy for the evils we speak of is with the people, and they ought to apply it. Let them frown upon all aspirants who do not come up to the Jeffersonian standard of ,bonesty and capability, and let them con the honors and emoluments cf station ,only on men of acknowledged merit. Dis countenance demagogues, and their tricks and traffics, and indignantly spurn the envious and unscrupulous place-hunters who seek to build themselves up on the ruin of other men's good names and ren talons. Animosities may last for a time, but the "humanities should live forever ;" and no man is fit to serve you whose heart is full of envy and malice, or who es a, rival with -falsehood and relent less bitterness. Thom are general hints to "all interest ed," sod we leave the wader to apply awe; gild to judge of their justice and Pr 00.14. The candidate . of the Democratic party, at the approacbing . Gubernatorial election, should be a man of unquestioned moral and political integrity, ability, intelli gence and popularity, and of large public experience. He should be, emphatically, a man of the people, who will see that their rights and liberties are protected and their interests not bartered away to Power, or to soulless corporations and monopolies. Such a man, in our view, is Col. WM. HOPKINS, of Washington county, and we sincerely hope he may be nominated. His thorough acquaintance with the affairs of the Commonwealth, his incorruptible honesty, and his consist ent and life-long devotion to Democratic principles and measures, would ensure the success of his administration; while his high character as a gentleman, and ex tensive and favorable acquaintance with the people of all sections of the State would render him a most available can didate. We confidently trust he may be made our standard-bearer; and, in that event, have no fear as to the successful issue of the campaign This gallant and accomplished officer, Colonel of the First Regiment of Ohio Cavalry, lost his life in a desperate, but successful charge on the enemy's centre at the terrible battle of Murfreesboro. It was the third charge he had Jed in per son, and it pierced the rebel lines; "but the right and left supporting regiments failing to drive the foe, the First was speedily flanked. It was at this point, while occupying an exposed position, that a squad of the enemy made a bold dash distinctly to capture him. They reached and surrounded him. The demand for 1; is surrender was made ; but though one of his men cried out, "Oh, Colonel do give up, they'll kill you," it was answered only by the heavy swinging of the Colonel's sabre. With a cut to the rear, one as sailant was cloven down, and with a stroke to the frOnt another ; but just as valor seemed ready to be crowned by success, the fatal shot was fired. The ball, suppo sed to be from a carbine, entered the neck and severed the jugular vein. Uncon sciousness must have immediately ensued. The body was recovered within thirty minutes (stripped of overcoat, saber and valuables while iu the throes of death) and life ended with one gasp as it was committed to the ambulance. Thus was death met and braved by as lofty courage as ever inspired a soldier, whether the records of this war or others be searched." Col. Milliken was not only a daring and intrepid soldier, 'Jut a gentleman in the highest acceptation of the term; and, what is better still, a Christian. His ser vices began with the first campaign in Western Virginia, where he distinguish ed himself by his courage, fidelity and en ergy, and won the favor and encomiums of his superiors and the love of his men.— The country has lost no truer or braver defender. Col. Milliken has a wide circle of rela tives in Greene and Washington counties (the Minors, Millikene and others,) who feel a just pride in the character and ser vices of their gallant kinsman. One of the neatest, tersest, and most expressive descriptions we have yet seen, of the valuable and important public ser vices of our pleasant and amiable Con gressional Representative of the 20th, may be found in Brother Jones' last "Mes senger." It covers the whole question, and is in the words following, to wit : "He is always at his post."—Brownsville Clipper. S-We may be very obtuse, but we con fess we can't see the point in the above, it it has any. We have shown it to several shrewd acquaintances, who acknowledge themselves in the same predicament, and authorize us to offer 25 cents reward to any body who will tell us where the "laugh comes in" or where the "sarkassutn" is to be Nund in Grand-dad Hurd's paragraph, quoted above. We would like, very much, to pub lish Speeches which are made in Congress, from time to time, by dis tinguished Democrats, on the politi cal topics of the day; but our space is so limited as to forbid it as a gen eral thing. Many of our subscribers receive but one paper, and that the "Messenger," and expect us to give them the current news; and this is impossible, if we fill our columns with lot g speeches, We shall, how ever, occasionally make room for one, even to the exclusion of out other matter. It is said that the difficulty with the Anderson Troop has been settled, and that the regiment has been released from arrest and gone on duty. It is further stated they have been allowed to elect their own officers, and that they have been detailed as a body guard for General liosecrans.—Pitts. Evening Citron. serif the above be true, the action of the military authorities at Nashville vin dicates the members of the Troop, who stood out for their rights, from the asper sions which have been cast upon them so freely of late by certain very knowing peo ple in this county and elsewhere. It will be seen by the proceedings in an other column, that the zealous and faith ful Democracy of old Richhill are already organizing for the approaching campaign. This is well, and the example should be followed in every township in the county. If the Democracy were everywhere as fully aroused to their duty as they are in this "Gibraltar," the majority in the county would soon reach 3,000.

WENONA STATION, MAVttilliALL CO., ILL., January 21, 1863 Messrs. Jones & Jennings:—Enclosed you will find a two dollar note, which you will apply to my credit on subscription to the Messenger. We redeemed our county last fall by I giving 350 majority for the Democratic ticket; elected three members to the Le gislature from the District, composed of this, Lasalle and Livingston counties.— I One of the members is a citizen of this ; township, and a first rate man, and farmer at that. We also elected our Sheriff and Coroner. The Sheriff is Win. R. Milli ken, from Fayette county, Pa.. and son in-law of John Hitler, Esq., formerly of Jefferson. He is one of the most efficient Democrats in the county. StWe' Another subscriber remits us part of his indebtedness, and says: "I thought that 1 would have to stop the Messenger when you raised it to two dollars, but I can't do without it--the Messenger has been a weekly visitor in our family ever since I can remember, and shall continue to be as long as I can pay for it," AT THE OLD GAME AGAIN--ANOTH ER'PAFER SUPPRESSED. The Philadelphia Evening Journal was suppressed on the 28th ult., and its propri etor arrested by the military authorities. On the morning of the 29th, Judge Ludlow, a dispatch to the Pittsburgh Chronicle states, "sent for the Grand Jury ofPhiladelphia, and reviewed the arrestor the proprietor of the Evening Journal, and the supi ression of that paper. He declar ed that such action was illegal, and di rected the grand jury to summon before them Gen. Mon tgomery, military com der at Philadelphia, and Captain Finney, provost marshal, to testify. The .Journal office io still in the hands of the provost guard. The military witnesses summoned will probably not appear." The Tonnage Tax 119pkins introduced in the House of Representatives, a few days ago, the following preamble and resolution relative to the tonnage tax, which were adopted: WHEREAS, An act passed by the General Assembly of the Commonwealth, ap proved the 7th day of March, 1861, en titled An Act for the commutation of ton uage duties, by which a very large and annually increasing revenue was taken from the treasury for the benefit of a cor poration : And whereas, the passage of sail act was. procured by the use of improper means; And whereas, The restoration of said revenue is deemed essential to meet the demands upon the treasury ; there fore, Resolved, That. the Committee on the Judiciary be instructed to bring in a bill, at as early a day as practicable, for the re peal of said act. The Cameron Bribery Case The exposure made by a member of the Pennsylvania Legislature, says a Times dispatch, in reference to the alleged bribery and corruption in which General CAMERON is a party, is to be made the subject of in quiry on the part of the Senate. A reso lution has been prepared, which will he ()tiered in Executive Session at their next meeting, calling the attention of the Presi dent to the matter for the purpose of mak ing inquiry into the facts, and if true, wheth- er the said Cameron is a proper person to represent the United States at the Court of St. Petersburg. Senator Wilmot, of Pennsylvania, will probably bring the matter to the attention of the Senate and to the President. Rea son Why It costs four times as much to transport a bushel of corn from the Mississippi riv er and its • tributaries to New York as it does to raise it. This is why the West wants the Mississippi opened, and will in sist on its being opened. It is the natural out let of the West to the ocean for the larger part of her produce. ,t It is rumored that Gen. Cassius M. Clay has superseded Gen. Boyle in the de partment of Kentucky, and it is believed that Fremont and Butler will soon be placed in important commands. Only Abolition Generals are to command here after. Rosecrans will probably be super seded soon by some New England hero. fier The Providence Post says that Fitz John Porter has fought more battles, won more victories, and possesses more brains and patriotism than every other man of the court which tried him, and the hounds who assailed him. air The farce of a draft in Connecticut has been "played out," The Adjutant General has issued a general order re lieving all those who were drafted and failed to respond, from further liability.

DINSMGRE, THOMAS SCOTT, ISRAEL BREESE, Auditors EMI In order to explain more fully the condition an-d expenses of the insti tution, so as to estimate, with some degree of certainty, the annual charge upon the county, it is to be observed that a large portion of the expenditures so far made were for stock and the necessary implements for the farm, and fUrniture for the house. The paupers generally came destitute of bedding, and of course the entire house had to be furniShed, which has, so far, been done substan tially and economically. The house itself was unfinished, at least so far as the safety and comfort of the in sane paupers were concerned; and considerable expense had to be incur red in arranging atom for the most violent of them. The expense to the farm, in making and repairing fences, setting out a fine orchard of fruit trees, and other indispeusible work, was considerable. These charges of course will not occur again to the same extent, and we may reasonably infer, from what has been done, that the poor of the county wilt eventually be kept un der thissystcm cheaper and far more comfortably.

Of course, since last spring, there has been but little yield from the farm. but under a proper system of culti vation, we have no doubt its produc tiveness will in a few years be very much enhanced. The abundance of coal and limestone upon the land is an important item There is also sufficiency of timber for fuel, fencing and building, if properly used. For the latter purposes an arrangement has been made with the owners of a portable steam saw mill, by which means the timber upon all the farm, not fit for rails, can be cheaply converted into lum ber. 1 05 $628 12 127 20 TN 61 5 00 20,665 00 2300 52. 3 404 65 In conclusion, the Directors invite the tax-paying community who have an interest in the institution to visit the farm and house, and judge for themselves as to their condition and management.
