OUR WESTERN SUBSCRIBERS MUST

Our subscribers in the West must settle
heir accounts. Many have done so, but
:a great many have not. All who fail to
pay up by the IST OF APRIL NEXT,
will have their patient discontinued and

DEMOCRATIC OLUBS.
We suggest to out Democratic friends
tifititikhout the county the propriety and
importance of organizing Clubs for the
d' , Hptination of the great political truths
hell by our party, and for the advance
ment of its interests and the inteeests
of the country. in this grave crisis.—
The approaching Gurbernatorial canvas
trill be an important one, and the pre
patations for it should be early and
thitavough. The people cannot be made
too familiar with the issues it will
present, if they would reach right and pa
triotic conclusions. The Democratic par
ti tuts nothing to fear from the most rigid
scrutiny of its aims and the closest and
most careful examination of its creed and
*icy in this, or in any put lie emergency.
e fts history is a proud one, and its patriot
ism deep and broad enough to restore the
thtion as it was under the Constitution as it
. is. No other party in the country is equal
to the task, as has•been lamentably dem
onstrated, or is willing to undertake it. Let
us therefore be the More alive to the re
sporisibilities of the crisjs, and the more
faithful in the discharge of the duties it
imposes. To this end, let the party every
where organize.
THE LEADER OT THE "LOYALISTS."
The notorions Thad: Stevens, of the
Lancaster District in this State, is the ac
knowledged leader of the- Republican or
Abolition party in the lower House of
Congress. His oninioneoit is fairly pre
sumable, are those of at least two-thirds
of his political associates; and in order to
show how LOYAL he is "i n hie utterances and
intentions, we reproduce the following ex
tract from a speech made at the opening
of the present session:—
"This talk of RESTORING the UNION
AS IT WAS under the CONSTITUTION
AS IT IS, is one. of the ABSURDITIES
which I have heard repeated until 1 have
become about SICK of it. This Union
shall NEVER, with my consent, BE RE
STORED under the Constitution as it ie."
Now, the Union as it was, says a cotem
porary, was a Union of free and slave
States, and such it has always been. Our
fhthers took the States as they were, and
formed a Union with them as they were.
That was the only possible Union THEN,
and it is the only possible Union NOW.
They did not undertake to remodel the
states, to makti them uniform on the sub
ject of slavery. They knew it was a task
beyond their power, and beyond their right
to undertake. It never occurred to them
to confer on a part of the States the power
to force a uniformity. In the Government
they made they conferred no such power,
and' those who administer it violate their
oaths when they undertake the task.
'3'#►e plea of military necessity, which is
put in as an apology for such a flagrant
violation of Constitutional right on the
part of the Focecutive, is , absurd and mon
strous, and would excuse any abuse of
palter.
If the Union is ever restored, it must be
on the old basis. The 'Union Stevens and
his fanatical associates propose bringing
about is wholly and ridiculously impracti
cable, and we undertake to say they KNOW
The people have decided for the original
programme of putting down this rebellion,
'the one solemnly announced by the Pres
ident and by Congress. • The people see
how outrageously this programme has
'been departed from, and they have put
the seal of their condemnation on the gull
; , •
- ty•authors of the departure.
WHAT DOUGLAS SAID.
On the 27th of April, 1861, a short time
prior to his death, and after the war had
, c tuispenced, STEPHEN A. DOUGLAS made a
el:leech before the Legislature of Illinois,
in which he used the following language:
"ilitisk I can appeal to friend and foe

A letter from Lieut. JAS. P 4 CQSGILAY,
written near Fairfax Court Bleu' se, has
just been shown us which contains the
particulars of the capture of several
Greene county lads belonging to. .-Capt.
Lindsey's and Capt. Kingsland's Compa-
"At about 4 o'clockin the afternoon of
the 2Gth of January 3u attack was made
on the next post to ours, ealled the Burnt
Church post, by about 36 or 40 of White's
Rebel Caya,lry. Capt. Lindsey and myself
and 17 of our men were absent at the
time on a scout, and learfied on our return,
that 11 of our men had been taken pris
oners and that a squad had been sent out
in pursuit of the. enemy. This evening
we get the full account of the matter.—
The vidette that was out on duty saw the
rebels coming, and instead of firing his
. gun to alarm the other men at the out
posts, ran off for the main station, it and
being supper-time the boys were all feed
ing their horses and cooking supper, and
knew nothing until the whole rebrl force
fired a volley among them; they all grasp
ed their carbines and gave them one
round in return, but did no more damage.
than killing of two of their horses. They
then had to surrender or all be killed, as
our men have no revolvers, and all the
rebels carry two six-shooters. Well, we
lost five out of our company, who were
taken prisoners; their names are as fol
lows: George Chapman, Isaiah Rush,
Robert McGrady, Win. J. Dickerson and
Henry Hinerman. They disarmed them,
mounted them on their horses, and in the
fuss and hurry - Henry Htnerman had lost
his bridle, and got on the horse with the
halter, and his horse.being unmanageable,
he could not hold him, but was trying
with all the strength he had ; the rebel
Captain ordered him to halt, and he
not stopping, drew his revolver and
shot him—striking him in the arm and
passing through the belly over the stom
ach. But the Doctor says the wound will
not be fatal, but that he will recover, as
he thinks the ball passed around the stom
ach, and did not burtihim inside. They
put him on his horse and took him five
miles, when he gave out arid told them
he could not go any farther, and they pu t
him in a house and paroled him—told the
people to take gdod care of him and the
Captain apologized for shooting him, say
ing that Le did not know that he had no
bridle on his horse or he would not have
done it. lie was found at the house by
our men, and they sent in, and an ambu
lance was sent after him and brought him
in the same night and he is doing well.—
I did not learn the names of Captain
Kingsland's men that were taken with
ours."
From a later letter received from Capt.
L/NDSEY, we are pleased to learn that
the men taken prisoners have been paroled.
THE NEGRO SOLDIER BILL PASSED.
The most important part of the proceed
ing, in Congress on Monday took place in
the House, when lilt. Stevens' negro soldier
bill was passed by a vote of eighty-three
yeas to fifty-five nays. During the consid
eration of the bill, Mr. Cox, of Ohio, said
a speech he had made in New York had
been misinterpreted. He caused to be
read a paragraph from it to show the po
sition he took, not only in New Yuri, but
in Ohio and elsewhere, and this was the
position of the Democratic party. He nev
er would, under any condition olcircum
stances, consent to the dismemberment of
the Republie. They should not be tabooed
because they had warned the country
against the dangers of fanaticism. He re
peated that Washington, Franklin and
others had refused to sanction the employ
ment of the blacks. The . proposition made
by this suicidal and infamous bill, would
so distract and dampen patriotism by asso
ciating negroes with white men and disin
tegrate the army. The debate was furth
er participated in by Messrs. Allen, White
and Harrison, of Ohio . . The bill, as
modified by Mr. Stevens, now reads as fol
lows :
Be it exacted, etc., That the, President
be and he is hereby authorized to enrol,
arm and equip, and receive into the land
and naval service of the United States,
such number of volunteers of African de
scent as he may deem useful to suppress
the present rebellion, for such a. term of
service as he may desire, not exceeding
five years, the said volunteers to be or
ganized according to the regulations of
the branch of service in which they may
be enlisted ; .to receive the same rations,
clothing and equipments as other volun
teers, and a monthly pay the amens that
of volunteers; to he -officered by white or
black persons appointed and commissioned
by the President, and to be governed by
the rulers and articles of war, and Such
other rules and regulations as niay be
prescribed by the President; provided
that nothing herein contained, or in the
rules and regulations of war, shall be so
construed as to. authorize or permit
any officer of African descent to be
appointed to rank, or to exercise military
or naval authority over white olEcers,
soldiers or men in the military or naval
service in the United States. Nor shall
any greater pay than $lO per month, with
the usual allowance of clothing and ra
tions be allowed or paid to the privates or
laborers of African descent, which are or
may be in the service of the United States.
Provided further, that the slaves of loyal
citizens in the States exempt by the Pres
ident's proclamation of January Ist, 1863,
shall not be received into the armed ser
vice of the United States. Nor shall
there be any recruiting offices opened in
any of the States o f Delaware, Maryland,
West Virginia, Kentucky, Tennessee or
MitssOark without the mouse' nt of .the Gov
ernors of said States having been first ob
tained.

THE LATE ARREST IN PHILADEL
PHIA.
The telegraph informs us that Mr.
Boileau, the proprietor of the Philadel
dhia Evening Journal, a Democratic pa
per, who was arrested a fee, days ago,
and carried off without a hearing and in
carcerated in a Maryland prison, has
been released. The cause of his arrest
was the publication of an editorial arti
cle on the message of General Jefferson
Davis, contrasting it with the message of
President Lincoln to the prejudice of the
latter.
Judge Ludlow deserves great praise
for his manly resistance to the flagrant
outrage on a right which he well pre
flounced, "as dear as the noon day sun,
as vital as life-giving breath, without -„the
existence of which the government self
is a stupendous deception, and which, if
firmly maintained now Ind hereafter, will
go far to unite a people of immense re
sources, and which power can yet be
wielded as a unit when and as soon as the
constitutional rights of each citizen shall
be respeeted and enforced."

JOHN 0. DINSMORE,
THOMAS SCOTT,
ISRAEL lIREESE, Auditors
In order to explain more fully the
condition and 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 a room 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 indispensible
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 will eventually be kept un
der thissystem cheaper and far more
comfortably.
From the annexed exhibit the
public will see what other work has
been done, and what has been pro
duced upon the farm, and also what
stock, &c., we have on the farm. 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
a 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 eonverted into lum
ber.

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.
