"A sentiment not to be appalled, corrupted or
compromised. It knows no baseness; it cowers to
no danger; ft 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."

DEFERRED.
We are compelled to defer till next

cratic meetings held in different portions
of the county.
THE APPROACHING "UNION MEET
ING."
The "Republican" says we "ridicule the '
idea" of "Loyal Democrats" fraternizing
with Disunion Abolitionists. So we do.
It is both ridiculous and preposterous for
Democrats who have always stood by the
Union, and WILL NEVER CONSENT
TO ITS DISSOLUTION; to unite in
gatherings with a party who._?. leaders,
almost to a m_..n, declare themselves
AGAINST THE UNION AS IT WAS,
who almost invariably san"t.ion the gross
est. violations of the Constitution, and who
are against ANY UNION in which all.
the States shall be co-equal in rights and
sovereignty. And we can never have any
other Union. That was the Union - our
'fathers gave us, and is the only Union we
can perpetuate, as these ntadcaps and Ab
olition zealots will learn in due season in
the fool's school. How Democrats who
profess to believe that the entire Abolition
policy of the Administration is wrong
and calculated to embarrass the national
cause, to divide the North and unite the
South, if not to defeat all hopes of the re
storation of Elie Union,—how, we say,
Democrats who profess to believe all this,
can strike hands with men who believe
mkt teach the reeerse, is to us surpassing
strange, indeed past finding out. "Can
such things be, and overcome us like a
summer cloud, without our special won
der?" Is it surprising that people should
look with distrust and suspicion on men
who claim to be Democrats and yet affili
ate with the bitter and wile-long enemies
of the D4mocratic party ? who aid and
comfort theme who talk one way and
vote another? who counsel and give tactics
to the Abolition leaders, and consort with
them at miscalled Union meetings? And
all •this, too, when their paper here at
Waynesburg, its correspondents and the
rankand file of the Abolitionized Repub
lican party do little else than traduce
DereocrCe as "Traitors," "Secessionists"
and "sympathizers with rebellion"? Is
it matter of wonder, we say, that people
should doubt the fidelity to the Democrat
ic party of men who make such a
record as that? and that they should ques
tion seriously whether they would not
rather "reign in hell than serve in heav
en?" Especially when they tamely kiss
the hand that has been smiting them not
less than other Democrats? Is it any
wonder that such Democrats should be
styled weak-kneed and weak-backed? and
would it not be .a good idea to gruel and
diaper them and put them to bed Lill these
troublous times are past, and till the day
comes (as it will in the fullness of time,)
when it will be a boast, and not a reproach
as it is now among our enemies, to belong
to the National Democracy? And What,
pray, do these feeble, gentlemen want us
to do ? Do they want us to approve every
act and edict of the party in power? Do
they want us to stifle every honest convic
tion ? Do they want to muzzle the press
and padlock every freeman's mouth ?
What do they want, we ask, in requiring
us to affiliate with a party whose doctrines
in their very inception, and whose policy,
in its practical developmeht, have been in
manifest antagonism to the harmony and
unity of the country ?
We have no personal griefs in this !nat
ter, or private animosities to gratify. We
have no motive but the good of our coun
try, and we believe it will he hest sub
served by adhering inflexibly to the prin
ciples and organization, and conservative
policy of the Democratic party. AND WS
SIIALL STAND BY THAT PARTY WHILE IT
STANDS DT THE COUNTRY, as it WILL TO
THE END, and as it has in the past. We
want no better UNION PARTY, and
there could be none more loyal to Constitu
tional liberty, of more consistent in its
efforts to maintain the integrity of the
country. Our duty is a plain 6n e, no mat
ter how doubtful the timid and faint
hearted few may be of theirs, and we shall
discharge it fearlessly, regardless alike of
the tasks and sacrifices it imposes. And
we conjure all brave and true Democrats
to do their duty in this emergency as well
by their country as their party. Shrink
from no exaction your love of the Govern
ment o' your fathers may make of you,
and be neither afroid nor ashamed to
avow your attachment to the party of Jef
ferson and Jackson and Polk,—the party
which built up the national prosperity,
and would have consolidated and perpetu
sted the Union of the States without blood
or Wife, if its conservative counsels had
previbti:
We once more admonish out Democrat
is friends that this "Uninn Iseatne 'move
ment is set on foot by RepabliiutiCsad Ab
olition•politicians, and forpardeast and not
patriotic objects ; and these miscalled
'Union' meetings are gotten up testrength
en and bolster up the Republican party,
and for no other purpose. They are only
preparatory to the introduction of the
"League," and only a step toward the Ab
olition camp. Allow no man to deceive
you about them, or decoy you into them.
Your UNIONISM needs no such sickly
propping up as these gatherings would
give it. The unity and well-being and
glory of the country is the beginning and
end of your political aims and faith, let
demagogues and time-servers prate as
they may to the contrary; and they dis
semble when they affect to believe any
thing else.
PARTIZAN INTOLERANOE-PRO
SORIPTION IN BUSINESS.
It is alleged, by persons who profess to
know, that a cardinal feature of the policy
of the "Union League" organization is to
"refrain from all business transactions
and intercourse with Democrats." How
ever skeptical we might have been on first
hearing an intimation of this being one
of the purpottes of this new and danger
ous organization, recent disclosures con
vince us it is one of the chief means re
lied on, by the political bigots and adven
turers who compose or control the
"Leagues," to "crush out" opposition to
the mad and suicidal policy of the Lin
coln Administration. The Editor of a
Democratic journal at Johnstown, Pa.,
ana another brother of the quill in an
adjoining county, both complain, in their
last issues, of certain mercantile houses
of Pittsburgh refusing them advertise
ments for the sole reason that they do nol
support the Administration!—Support it, of
course, in all its schemes of negro Eman
cipation and Colonization, in its flagrant
and habitual violations of the Constitu
tion, in its assaults on the liberties of the
people and the rights of the States, in its
perverse disregard of the popular expres
sions at the polls, and in all the mistakes
and follies it has made or committed I.—
And this is the quid pro quo Editors of Dem
ocratic journals are asked to render for
the beggarly pittance of a five or ten dol
lar advertisement from houses which have
Leen made rich by Democratic patronage /
Out upon such intolerance and impudence!
1 1
It is as disgraceful and insufferable as it
is ungrateful.
Politics and business are essentially dif
ferent things, and the attempt to make
, the latter subserve the interests of the
Republican party will prove a signal
failure. In vulgar parlance, "it is a game
two can play at ;" and those who seek to
propagate the heresies and improve the
fortunes of Abolitionism by dictation
and persecution of this character, will find
they have made a blunder quite as dama
ging to their private interests as it must
show itself disastrous, sooner or later,
to the organizationihat inaugurates such
a crusade on Freedom of Speech and
Freedom of Opinion. The American peo
ple will never relinquish these sacred pre
rogatives at any cost or sacrifice, much
I lees at the bidding or for the gratifidation
of the narrow and vindictive partizans of
an Administration that has abused the con
fidence and disappointed the hopes of the
country, and violated every pledge under
which it came into power.
We are glad to know that, despite the
"League," its teachings and enjoinings,
there are a great many Republicans in and
out of our great cities who have no sympa
thy with the "odious and disgraceful pro
scription"of which we speak. The names of
a number may be found in our own columns,
and in the columns of other Democratic
journals. They are liberal, fair-dealing,
high-minded gentlemen, who stoop to no
such disreputable means of proselyting to
their faith and party, and who cheerfully
accord to their opponents the right they
claim for themselves, of being guided by
their own reason, judgment and con
science in all matters of political concern.
1 Let Democrats confine their dealings to
I men of this character and of their own
household, until the bigots and itema
gogues whb seek to proscribe them are
taught a needed lesson.
W. T. H. PAULEY, ESQ.---A ELSE
FALSEHOOD NAILED
Some suspicious and evil-disposed per
sons, enemies of this consistent and inde
fatigable Democrat, have industriously
reported throughout the county that be
advised Dr. PATTON to vote as he did on
the Tonnage Tax questions lately before
the Legislature. We knew, when these
reports first reached us, that they were
utterly and absurdly false, but preferred
awaiting a line from the Doctor on the
subject before contradicting them. This
is now before us, and effectually disposes
of the reports we mention. It is as fol
lows :
"I have just been informed that
it is, reported that Air. Panley influ
enced my vote on the Tonnage Tax.
He never opened his lips to me on the
subject:"
We hope to hear no more of this stupid
and ridiculous falsehood.
mar A friend of ours says he has noticed
one curious fact, that the so-called "War
Democrats" seldom go to the war. While
they are exceedingly anxious that others
should enter the service, they are careful
to keep their own hides whole and their
"mugs" out of reach of rebel sharpshoot
ers. Their patriotism is decidedly cheap,
and expends itself in great swelling words
and high-sounding professions of devotion
to the national cause. They have very
clear notions of the duty of others, but it
never occurs to them that they ought to
do Anything else for the "poor, dear,
suffering country" than "gas" about the
"Union" in Ethan Spike style.
Democrats of Connecticut
Lave gained 52 members of the Leg
islature.
00XPLIZENT.
• irt. Faa*s, of the "Germantown tele
graph," pays quite a compliuneet to our
member, Dr. Farrow, in the following
notice of the approaching adjournment of
the Legislature:—
This body has agreed to adjourn sine die
on the 16th inst. With the least degree
of industry it could easily have adjourned
on the 16th of March. Very short ses
sions have been held from the beginning.
Those who are in the habit of visiting
Harrisburg, during the sessions, regard
the material of the present body as the most
inferior in point of intellect that they ever
remember. With the exception of Coca-
RAN, LEE, PATTON, and BENEDICT, there
ie scarcely a member in the lower branch
above mediocrity. The people, however,
are to blame for this! They allow a set of
irresponsible politicians to select candi
dates from among themselves, who go to
Harrisburg, not to look after the com
mon weal, but to fi!l their own beggarly,
unscrupulous pockets."
THE ADMINISTRATION ONE THING,
THE GOVERNMENT ANOTHER.
Those Abolitionists who affect to be
lieve that Democrats are disloyal to the
Government because they oppose its ad
ministration, are handsomely rebuked by
the Hon. Wm. H. Seward, the Secretary
of State. In his letter to Charles Francis
Adanis, our minister to England, last No
vember, Mr. Seward said:—
IN THIS COUNTRY ESPECIALLY,
IT IS A HABIT NOT ONLY ENTIRE
LY CONSISTENT WITH THE CON
STITUTION, BUT EVEN ESSENTIAL
TO ITS STABILITY, TO REGARD
THE ADMINISTRATION . AT ANY
TIME EXISTING AS DISTINCT AND
SEPARATE FROM THE GOVERN
MENT ITSELF, AND TO CANVASS
THE PROCEEDINGS OF THE ONE
WITHOUT A THOUGHT OF DISLOY
ALTY TO THE OTHER.
This is the idea we have been trying to
beat into the heads of the fanatics and
ignoramuses of the Abolition party.
ABOLITION VIEW OF THE WAR.
At an Abolition meeting, held at the
Union League rooms in Philadelphia, on
the 23d ult., a certain Rev. A. N. Gilbert
delivered himself of the following:
"We all have learned the history of St.
Domingo, and it would be terrible to have
a St. Domingo massacre re-enacted upon
our soil. But the President has declared
this a military necessity, and if blood
must flow we must not dread the conse
quences. Blood must flow in this war.
I speak it tneaningly, and as a Chris
tian, deliberately and calmly, that I would
rather see every woman and child in the
South perish, than that the Southern Con
federacy shoula succeed in attaining the
objects of its leaders." (Applause.]
These are his words, not colored or
garbled, but taken verbatem from a Repub
lican organ. And it is with such men--
false to their God, false to the Constitution,
false to manhood—that Democrats are
asked to fraternize in "Loyal Leagues!"
*Wm: Lloyd Garrison, a life-long
Abolitionist, who originated the motto,
"The Constitution is a covenant with
Death, and the Union a league with
Hell," is one of the electioneering stump
speakers for the Repuhlican party. He
made several campaign speeches for the
Republicans in New Hampshire, recently.
This party also has a Massaehusetts Free
Love female spouter to make campaign
speeches for them as a "spirit medium,"
and have imported her into Connecticut
for the same purpose !
ifkirThe best test of patriotism is fur
nished by the soldiers, who have been and
are yet fighting for the Union. A New
York paper, that is evidently of this opin
ion, suggests that the "Leagues and Asso
ciations" now forming should adopt, as
an additional obligation, that each mem
ber shall pledge himself, if drafted, not to
take the benefit of the $3OO substitute
clause.
ger This is one of the Indiana "Cop
perhead" resolutions ; let every man com
pare it with the resolutions of the "Loyal
Leagues :"
Resolved, That notwithstanding our want
of confidence in the Administration, yet
we hereby pledge onrselves,.to suppress the
rebellion in the South and restore to the
Go‘7ernment the proper and full exercise
of its legitimate authority.
kW' Upwards of three hundred million
dollars have been stolen by contractors , —
nearly enough to support the war for a
year. That is a vigorous support with a
vengeance. Fork over, fellow-citizens ;
the last Congress refused to adopt means
to stop it.
ser Fred. Douglas made a speech to a
large concourse of blacks of Philadelphia
the other day. The papers report much
enthusiasm, but, notwithstanding it all,
only five sables could be induced to enlist.
The Abolitionists have a bard time in get
ting Sambo to fight.
Jam' The Cleveland Herald says. if the
Democratic party cheats the people, it will
be the people's fault. That is true - and
complimentary. That party generally
says what it means, and if any man is
cheated, it is his own fault.

30E PORTER.
Everybody in Greene county knows Jos
PORTER, or ought to, for he is "a host" in
more respects than one, and a perfect
bundle of contradictions and eccentrici
ties. With a heart as big as a Quaker
barn, be is at the same time as abrupt
and crusty as ev en a desolate old
bachelor could well get or live ;—will
quarrel one moment and bury the scalping
knife the next ;—concedes the right of
everybody to think for themselves, but at
the same time expresses utter astonish
ment at their stubbornness in not coming
over to his views;—hates Abolitionism
and "will have none of it," declaims per
sistently against Emancipation and other
fillies of the Administration, but goes for
"the Union to the death and last dollar,"
"nigger or no nigger, wet or dry, sink or
swim." ...totwithstanding all this and a
great deal more, JOE is one of the best
merchants in the county, a great fa
vorite with all who really know him, and
can sell more goods than a dozen "old
fogies," or "slow coaches." One reason
of this is, he kno•vs where to buy and'
how,—keeps up his assortment, and sells
cheaper than anybody else. He has re
cently "opened up" on his "own hook,"
at the old stand of Wm. A. PORTER, and
has just returned from the East with one
of the fullest and finest Stocks of Fancy
and Staple Dry Goods and Notions ever
brought to this market. Buyers through
out the county will find it a, saving process,
to call and inspect. his assortment before
laying in their Spring and Summer sup
plies.
WM. A. PORTER, ESQ.
This old and succetsful merchant is in
"full blast" at his new stand adjoining
the Bank and nearly opposite the "Mes
senger" Office. 'He is just receiving a new
invoice of seasonable Goods, bought at
low prices and will be sold at small ad
vances. We are glad to see he is building
up a fine trade, for no merchant in the
county has done more to furnish the peo
ple of Greene county with cheap Goods.—
Besides, we like his "pluck" in sticking
to the old National Democracy as the
only live Union party in the country.

CONNECTICUT ELECTION.
Thl Republicans. as •ce anticipated,
carried the election on Monday last in
Connecticut, their majority being nearly
3,000; in 1860, Mr. Lincoln beat Douglas,
Breckinridcre and Bell united, 10,292, be
ing a Republican loss since that time of
over 7 000 votes. Notwithstanding this
decline of Abolitionism in Connecticut
that partseems quite jubilant over their
recent victory.
When we reflect upon the means resort
ed to by the alministration to carry the
late elections in New England our surprise
ie that they permitted any opposition at
all. The other day two Connecticut bri
gades were sent home to vote, while the
contractors under the general government
scattered their thousands broadcast over
the State.—Pitts. Post.
HOW IT WAS DONE.
The Providence Post says Democracy
found just one enemy in Rhode Island,
namely—money. A. single corporation
promised fifty thousand dollars to secure
a Republican triumph in the Eastern Con
gressional District, and it thinks the mon
ey was given and used. That is just the
enemy which defeated the Democracy in
Connecticut, Rhode Island and Cincinnati.

be permitted,to slumber in Committee. It
is acceptable to neither side. The rail

no special interest in urging its passage,
