• 44 A sentiment not to be appalled, corrupted or
.compromised. It kgiows no baseness; it cowers to
no danger; it oppresses no weakness. Destructive
'only of despotism, it is the sole conservator of lib
erty, labor and property. It is the sentiment of
Rreedoln, of equal rights, of equal obligations--the
law of nature pervading the law of the land."

"While the Army is fighting, you, as
Citizens, see that the War is prosecuted
for the preservation of the Union and
*Constitution, for your Nationality and
your Rights as Citizens.”--.GE.O. B.
)IcCLELLAN.
'TILE DIFFERENOE"--A FRANK AD
MISSION. •
Our neighbor of the "Republican," in
his last paper, is frank enough to admit,
in substance, that while the war was con
ducted on the "Conservative" platform, it
had the support of the Democracy, but
"just as soon as the policy of the Ad
ministration began to assume Republican
features," they "denounced" both it and
the war." "That's so," neighbor, and we
commend you for your candor. So long
as the war was prosecuted for the single
and patriotic purpose of restoring the
"Union as it was under the Constitution
as it is;" it had the hearty support of the
Democratic masses. They sprang, with
cheerful alacrity, by tens and hundreds of
thousands, to the defence of the national
standard, and their treasure was freely
and lavishly expended in the great prepa
rations for the conflict. Though a war
they bad sought to avoid by every houor-
able and proper means, they shrank not
from its exactions and the stern sacrifices
it demanded. They believed it to be, as it
was declared to be, a war for "the main-
tenance of the supremacy of the Constitu
tion and the preservation of the Union,
with all the dignity, equality and rights of
the States unimpaired." Accepting it as
this, and nothing else, or less, or more,
they embarked in it with strong arms and
hopeful heal ts.
But what was the sequel? In less than
FIVE MONTHS. (not EIGHTEEN,
neighbor Evans, by a long way,) from the
almost unanimous adoption of :he Resolu
tion, by Congress, setting forth the fore
going as the objects of the war, an Aboli
tionized Republican majority in the lower
House REFUSSD, by AN OVERWHELM-
ING VOTE, to re-affirm the restoration
of the Ihtion on the old basis as the pur
pose of the contest,—a contest which was
to tax, to its utmost tension, every energy
of the Northern people, and to impose sac
rifices of life and money without a parallel
in the history of nations. Or, in other
words, so soon as the formidable prepara
tions for the struggle had been made': so
soon as the Government had placed in the
field vast and ample armies, as it suppo;
sed, and had provided adequate stores of
arms and munitions, and before a single.
vigorous (much less decisive,) blow had
been or could have been struck at the Re
bellion, the party in power, .under the
"whip and spur" of miserable Abolition
fanatics and imbeciles, determined to di
vert the war to other, and very different
ends,—the EMANCIPATION of the NE
GROES or the EXTERMINATION of
THE SOUTHERN PEOPLE. To this
proposed change of policy, Lincoln, Sew
ard and a few others seemed to demur for
a time, probably waiting a more auspicious
day or a change in public sentiment
which they hoped WOULD occur, but
which has not occurred, and never will.—
These timid few, however, soon succumb
ed to the Radical pressure, and a pro
gramme was adopted suited only to the
latitude of New England and the tastes
and notions of such extreme negro-loving
folks as Phillips, Garrison, Lovejoy, Gid
dings Stevens and Greeley. A "new
Union," an "Abolition Union," such a
Union as .these men think we "ought to
have," (but which sensible people of all
parties regard as wholly impracticable
and unattainable,) is the "Union" now
sought to be brought about.
That such a change of the object and
direction of the war as has been success
fully attempted by the Abolitionists should
1 nee n.ss Democrats and ser v sti yes, was
to be expected. It was a piece of unpar
donable bad -faith in the dominant party
and in our rulers, and has outraged the con
scienc:, and common sense of the country;
and Democrats ars not alone in denounci ng
it. Il u ndreds and thousands of Republicans
who love the country and themselves bet
ter than the NEGRO, condemn it in bold
awl unequivocal terms.
The party schemes of " Emancipation"
asd "Confiscation,"—the compensated
liberation of Slaves in the Border States,
and the arming of negroes, constitute the
new programme which Democrats and
Conservatives are asked to endorse. It wasl
condemned by them, and a large majority
of the people at the polls before it was ful-1
ly adopted, and the "sober second thought"
only &matins them in their settled oppo
sition --to the foolish and suicidal policy'
which has divided the North and united \
the South,—making loyal people here res
tive under the oppressive burthens oftaxa-i
L i on nu) the sacrifices they are called on
to i ngace I:br . the Negro, and making the
Rebels tbewselves, as Mr. Lincoln himself
well exprisped it, "more rebellious and
obstinate/ip thekresistonstrto thallovern
men t." If Republicans ' , want " union"
of effort and harmony of sentiment in the
prosecution of the vier, they can have it,
but not on their party platform. They
must retraoe their - steps and undo much
of their folly, bringing the struggle back
to the sole great purpose of restoring the
Union of the States as it existed before
the Rebellion. Annulling alit overriding
State Constitutions, exhausting the sub
stance of the country and the. Government
in the purchase, support and colonization
of negroes, assailing the personal liberty
of the citizen, and denying him the Habe
as Corpus, may suit moon-struck, vindic
tive and intolerant partisans and anti-sla
very zealots, bat won't suit the PEOPLE,
and the Abolition party now in power will
soon find it out.
The policy of the Government at the
outset of the war was a wise, prudent and
patriotic policy, and belonged exclusively
to no party. The Resolution of Mr. Crit
tenden, which embodied it, was voted for
by all the Northern Democrats, Republi
cans and Americans, and Border State
Union men in the lower House of Con
gress, with but one or two exceptions. It
was truly a "conservative" policy,—con
servative of the Union and of the rights o f
the Staits,—and in these regards was de
cidedly "Democratic," for that loyal old
party has at no period of its history wa
vered in devotion to the national unity
and the rights of the States.
Mr. Crittenden's policy was intended to
unite the people in the prosecution of the
war, and would have done so had it been
consistently and inflexibly adhered to by
the Administration. But the President
and his advisors debated and faltered, and
at last succumbed to the Radicals, and
are alone responsible for the division of
sentiment at the North, and for whatever
mischiefs it may bring on the country.
The power of the Government cannot
be used successfully to make a xaid on Ne
gro Slavery or the rights and institutions
of the States, and the sooner those who
usurp such authority know it the better.
THE CONSTITUTION.
"CLING TO THE CONSTITUTION,
AS THE SHIPWRECKED MARINER
CLINGS TO THE LAST PLANK,
WHEN NIGHT AND THE TEMPEST
CLOSE AROUND HIM DANIEL WEB
STER,
Such was the admonition of the sage
and patriot of Marshfield, and it should
be remembered and regarded through all
time. There is no safety for the li6erties
and interests of the people outside of, and
apart from, the protection and guarantees
of the organic law. To contemptuously
disregard its restraints, and to violate the
letter and spirit of its provisions, is to as
sail the. rights of the masses, to approxi
mate to despotism, and to strike at the
very existence of the Government. The
obligation to respect the fundamental law
is universal,—it is enjoined as well upon
the private c:tizen as the public function
ary, and is as much the duty of the govern
ed as the governing class. The responsi
bilities of the latter,. however, in this re
gard, are much graver than those of the
former, because of the dignity of their po
sitions, the authority with which they
have been invested, and the influence their
example must exert on those who fill a
subordinate sphere. There is no "necessi
ty" for infractions of the Constitution, any
more than there is for the violation of
moral obligations ; and public servants are
under both moral and legal obligations to
sacredly respect the Constitution. The
' plea that the "end sanctifies the means,"
the motive the act, will not do in ethics or
politics, and would excuse any usurpation
of power in an arbitrary or imbecile ruler.
Public duties, as well in times of peace
and security as in times of war and dan
ger, are or should be clearly defined and
set forth in the fundamental law ; and out
side of these no man will travel who re
spects his oath, loves his country, or
would not jeopard the freedom of the peo
ple.
SMALL PDX.
This disease has entirely disappeared
from Waynesburg and its immediate vicin
ity, all the patients recovering. Our rea
ders may rely upon this statement, what
ever Madame Rumor, with her thousand
lying tongues, may say to the contrary.—
Many of the good people in the country,
who ordinarily do their trading here, have
been frightened out of visiting the town
for weeks by the most absurd and extrava
gant reports about the
.prevtdence of the
disease. It is time these false and mis
chievous stories should be contradicted,
and we take pleasure in giving them a
quietus.
JUDGE LINDSEY.
Our townsman, Judge Lindsey, has been
confined to his room by severe indisposition
for a fortnight past, and was unable to at•
tend the late Term of the Wastington
county Court, and will be absent from the
Fayette Courts, beginning this week. We
are glad, however, to learn he is convales
cing rapidly, and n ill soon] be able to re
sume his official duties.

„
"Air. Seymour is an able wan and pop

IMPORTANT TO SCHOOL DIRECTORS.
The following section of the com
mon•school law, passed last winter,
is important to school directors :
"That it shall be the duty of the
board of directions in each school dis
trict to publish an annual statement
of the amount of money received
and expended and the amount due
from collectors, and setting forth all
the financial operations of the dis
trict in not less than ten written or
printed handbills, to be put up in the
most public places in the district."
The notice should be s - gned by
the president and attested by the
secretary.
PASSAGE OP THE CONSCRIPTION
BILL.
The Senate Conscription Bill passed the
House the other day, by a vote of 115 to
49. But few amendments were made to it,
and they will likely Le concurred in by the
Senate.
The bill is a sweeping one, and em
braces among the Conscripts "men of all
colors, all parties, all creeds, all profes
sions, all pursuits—Congressmen, Assem
blymen, Editors, Aldermen, Clergymen,
Shakers, Quakers, Indians, Niggers and
all. Thad. Stevens tried to get off the
Quakers on conscientious scruples, but he
failed. The able-bodied Quakers, like the
rest of their fellow citizens between twen
ty and forty-five years of age, if called up
on,must pocket their conscientious scruples
and go forth to fight, or fork out - three
hundred dollvs each for a substitute.
Of the one hundred and fifteen yeas
which cleared this bill through the Hodse,
there were ninety-nine Republicans, fifteen
Union men and one Democrat. Of the
forty nine nays, there were two Republi
cans, thirteen Union men and thirty-four
Democrats, leaving a majority for the bill
•
of sixty-six."
PARTISAN PIETY
The Abolitionists of .New Hampshire,
anticipating a defeat at the coining State
election have resolved to be "patriots" in
stead of "partisans"—that is, they assem
bled in convention, pretty much as their
brethren in this State did, and after nom
inating the most objectionable abolition
ists in their party, and passing the rai.kest
sort of Abolition resolutions, they declare
the present "no time for Fumy," and in
vite, every one to sustain them in their hy
pocritical proceedings. In reply to their
disinterested invitation, the Stales Union
responds as follows .
" 'All these crocodile 'tears,' all
these terrible 'emotions,' avail noth
ing as against the appaling calama
ties of two years of Abolition rule. '
.These things come squarely home
to the feelings and understandina-81
of the people. All the veribiage and
sentimentality under heaven cannot
cover them up. A. prostrate and
bleeding country, convulsed from
centre to circumference, rocking in
the throes of merciless, tormenting
civil war, forced on by the violators,
of constitutional obligations and the
assassins of constitutional liberty,
proclaim in the ears of the pen-,
plc the only hope of redemption. —i
These men and their principles must:
be voted down. This pretty little
pathetic castle of patriotic sanctity,
which they have erected fur the
popular gaze, must be given to the
winds and scattered as the most
worthless of trash. A little while
longer, and it will be done.
Their days are numbered and will
be finished Good Lord, hasten the
hour'
They talk of 'the dark and trou
bled night upon the country,' when
they have done their best to blot out
the sun of our existence through the
instrument: - Pity pi their own politi
cal charla`,anism. And now on their
bended knees they :protest that their
hearts are full to overflowing of pa
triotism and love of the. country they
have stabbed in its most vital part,
and they implore, in tones of heart
rending agony, the people, who , ,,
they have outraged, to continue
them a longer lease of power, and
thereby ensure beyond all hope of
redemption the national passport
to ruin and death. They 'mingle
their tears with those of families and
circles thus fatally broken' if they
will only vote the Abolition destruc
tion ticket at the polls."
THE MOB SPIRIT-PRINTING OFFICE
. DESTROYED.
. Last Friday afternoon about seventy-five
convalescent soldiers from the hospital at
Keokuk, lowa, marched to the Daily Con
stitution office of that city, headed by three
or four persons with sledge harnmers;—
The greater portion of them took aitand
along the street, in front of the office.—
Those with hammers proceeded into the
building, demolishing the press on the
first floor, while others went in and alto
gether cleaned the room out. They then
proceeded to to the second floor and clean
ed that of type, &c.. throwing them from
the window. They demolished a press on
this floor. They next proceeded to the
third floor and demolished another press
and threw it out of the window, and had
nearly cleared the room of type, and all
other fixings of the office, when a squad
of armed soldiers, were marched in front
of the office and the ringleaders of the
mob ordered to make their men desist and
form in line, which was not done until the
squad had been ordered to take aim on
the parties. Revolvers and • carbines
were' drawn by the convalescents and
threats made that if the squad fired a shot,
they, along with their commander, were
dead men. The excitement was intense,
but the convalescents were formed into
line and marched off, but not till the de
struction of the office was complete.—
part of the presses were dragged to the
•
river.

A SENSIBLE SPEEOH.
We ire glad that Massachusetts has
one man of common sense in Congress.—
Judge Thomas, though a Republican, fre
quently gives utterance to reasonable and
conservative views. We make the follow
ing extract from his speech on the negro
soldier bill:
"Mr. Speaker, let me now turn to
another feature of this bill, the term
enlistment. it provides for the
enlistment of men for a.period of
five years. Why five years ? I think
there is more significance in that
word "five" in this bill than in all
others written in it Its'possible ob
jects are not written. Do you mean
to say to the country that it is your
expectation, your reasonable expec
tation, and the basis on which you
propose to make enlistments for
your army, that this war is to con
tinue for a period of five years lon
ger ? Do you mean to say to the
country that on the vast scale on
which the war is now prosecuted,
anti at the expense, treasure, and
life at which it is prosecuted, you ex
pect to carry it on for five years
more ? rf such be your expectation.
it is just and manly to say O.
such be not your expectation, pray
add nothing to the anxiety and
alarm of the people.
Mr. Speaker, if the object of this
war is restoration, that involves a
state of things, present or future,
which wi/I soon be developed and
felt. A war for restoration proceeds
upon the ground that you will find
in the rebel States, as your army ad
vances and protection is made possi
ble, men whoare ready to rally again
under the blessed flag of the Union
and to return to their allegiance to
the national Government. if that
feeling exists, and is developed, cer
tainly it will be developed before the
lapse of five years; never, indeed,
by this instrumentality, never. But
if the object of this war is not restor
ation ; it the purpose and object 'of
this war are—as is sometimes de
clared in the heated and brilliant
rhetoric Of gentlemen on piur
subjugation, extermination, the re
colonization o the whole rebel terri
tory, then your term of enlistment
•is altogether too sho - rt—altogether
I too short.
If, Mr. Speaker, the objeot be ex
termination, there is not one of these
pages, snatched prematurely from
his mother's arms or cradle, who
will live to see the end. You hose
been waging the war two years, and
vet the number of inhabitants in
the rebel States to-day is larger than
it was when the war begun. You
cannot, probably, if you. would, and
you would not it you could, carry on
a war .vith a fierceness and severity
that would destroy life as rapidly as
it germinates. Men, in war even,
will marry and women be given in
marriage; children will be . born to
them, and mothers will hold them
to their flowing breasts as the storm
sweeps by. The angel of life will
triumph over the angel of death.—
Such is the blessed economy of God.
The extermination of eight millions
of people, with the use of all our
power and all our resources, is a mor
al and physical impossibility. Of
this war, it it is carried on for ex-
termina,tion. t,teitlwr you nor I, Mr.
Speaker, may hope to see its close
but in one way, to us the way ot
deepest humiliation, the intervention
of other nations, to stay its ravages.
Who talks of war of extermination
is simply mad."

'RUSSIA AGAIN MADE HAPPY.
We find the following agreeable an
nouncement in a Washington paper: .
"We are glad to announce that,
Mr. Cameron having' surrendered,
yesterday, the commission he has for
a long while held, as Minister to Rus
sia, Mr. Clay has been recommis
sioned, and will leave immediately
for St. Petersburg and assume the re
sponsible duties of the office."
k' The Senate has passed the bill or
ganizing the Territory of Arizona. It on
ly awaits the signature of the President to
become a law. This territory contains
120,000 square miles, and is therefore lar
ger than three States the size of Ohio.

MISSOURI EMANCIPATION.
The Select Committee of the House on
Emancipation have compromised between
the Senate and House bills. The bill
agreed on fixes the amount of bonds at
$15,000,000, and the date of emancipa
tion at July 4th, 1865. The bonds are
all to be delivered to and disposed of and
disbursed by the State. No price is fixed
per head for slaves. It amounts to a pro
position to the State that if she will bring
about a complete emancipation on or be
fore July 4th, 1865, the Government will
give a bonus in bonds of $1,500,000, The
bill will be reported and probably pressed
through both houses without any amend
ment.
CAMERON AND CLAY
The following is from the New Bedford
Mercury, (Rep.) which stops at nothing,
generally, in the negro way :—"We heart
ily echo the wish expressed by the Boston
Evening Transcript, that the Russian mis
sion may be speedily settled, and that
Generals Cameron and Clay may do some
thing for the public service, or retire to
private life. Cameron has weighed on
the back of the Administration as did the
Old Man of the Sea ou that of Sinbade
It is quite time that he was shaken off.—
We cannot, perhaps, expect all our public
men to be as free from suspicion as was
Cmsar's wife; but when charges of gross
bribery and corruption are preferred, they
should be met with instant denial and
something like an attempt to prove inno
cence
At all events, it is time we were
represented at St. Petersburg by some one
who will not run home if there is a vacan
cy in the Senate from his State, or a new
batch of Major Generals is to be made."
AN HONEST OPINION.
Sa'd a prominent Republican the other
day: "I am disgusted with hearing of
Mr. Lincoln's honesty. The frauds which
are being exposed every day are awful,
and Mr. Lincoln is either aware of them
or lie is not. If he is, he is not honest, or
he would reform them; if he is not, he is
as blind as a bat. I tell you the Adminis
tration is as rotten as h-11.' Remember,
that these words are not our own, but the
language of a shining light in the Repub
lican party.—Greensburg Democrat.
WEED AND BEECHES.
Thurlow Weed closes a reply to an ar
ticle in the Independent, criticising his
political course, as follows:
"But I.desire to make, this record :
—lf it c o mes to be understood that the
views and policy of Messrs. AS'umater,
Greeley, Wendell Phillips, Ward Beech
er, c&c., d'e., obtain in the conduct of the
war, it will result in the destruction of
our government and Union, and a
triumph for rebellion and slavery."
THE NEGRO ARMY,
In New England there are in all 24,711
colored persons, and but 11,719 maleS—
probably not more than one thousand
among them capable of bearing arms or
liable to draft under the new regime.—
Where, then, is the black army of 150,000
proposed by the Abolitionists to come
from ? It may be their intention to hunt
them in Dixie. They mean to organize
their army of negroes no doubt, hut they
must catch them first..
ANOTHER, CHANCE FOR OFFICE.
The new conscription bill now before
Congress (having already passed the Sen
ate) will open a new field for profitable
public service. A provost marshal will be
needed in every congressional district, to
look after the business of etrollinent, and
those who desire to serve in that capacity
will not be long in commencing their op
erations to secure the prize.
WHAT DANIEL WEBSTER THOUGHT.
Daniel Webster, in a speech delivered
in Washington, just thirteen years ago,
gave it as his opinion that "if the internal
fanatics and abolitionists ever get the
power into their hands, they will override
the constitution, set the Supreme Court at
defiance, change and make laws to suit
themselves, lay violent hands on those
who differ with them in their opinions or
dare question their infallibility, and final
ly bankrupt the country, and deluge it
with blood."
