DEGRADING
When one thinks of the facts of rebellion,
and recollect what the rebels are struggling
for, it is degrading to know that there are
those in the north who sympathize with all
the efforts that aro being made to destroy the
Union. The rebellion is not against a wrong.
The masses of the south have no injuries to
redress. If this were so, the governments of
Europe would have long since recognized the
Confederacy. But European statesmen have
penetrated the thin veil with which the traitors
seek to conce Al the real objects of their treason.
Those statesmen fully understand the purpose of
the southern leaders. That purpose has devel
oped itself in ti design to erect an aristocracy more
arrogant than any which exists in Europe, be
cause the meanest of European exclusiveness
boasts of its devotion to liberty, of its zeal for
humanity, of its attachment to justice. All
these attributes are disavowed by the aristoc
racy of the slave states now in rebellion against
the federal power. That aristocracy base their
pretensions to rule, alone on the right which
they claim to maintain a system of slavery.
The leaders of the rebellion struggle because
they hope success will confer upon them and
their families, courtly titles. It is for this that
Jeff Davis took the lead, and for this the lesser
leaders in treason are now fighting, while the
poor dupes who are risking life and limb, will
be awakened from their dreams of success and
future greatness, to find that they cannot re
sist the tyrannical influences which their own
acts of treason created. If rebellion could be
made a success to-morrow, the soldiers who
fought in the ranks of the rebel armies, would
be returned to their homes worse slaves than
the blacks who are held in bondage as common
chattel. Nay further, if the influence of
that success could be extended beyond the
limits of the Confederacy, it would be wielded
to enslave every white laboring man in the
north, on the principle, that no labor of the
hands was ever sufficiently dignified to be free,
and that no condition of society was safe, ex
cept that which was based on a system of ser
vitude, in which the labor of the majority
co'ild be monopolized for the uses of the mi
nority of the people.
—Knowing these facts, it is often wondered
bow the Democratic leaders can reconcile their
conduct in relation to the rebellion, consistent
ly with that of the profession of devotion to
Democratic principle. If Democracy means
anything, it is
A...F. yr..' VitrliTdt era of modern Democracy,
while claiming for their organization all that
belongs to pure and lofty principle, still main
tain that society organized on the basis of
slavery, is the safest and most happy. The
Democratic leaders now oppose the administra
tion of Abraham Lincoln, simply because he is
engaged in a struggle to put down rebellion—to
crush out slavery—because without the total ex
tinction of slavery there can be no, future pro
tection from rebellion. And yet the people
sometimes swallow such doses as are prepared
by the Democratic leaders, and imagine that
they are assisting in the progress and develop
ment of a government under whose control
they will be enabled to prosper and become
happy. The people must unlearn their attach
ment to Democracy by experience. Argument
or persuasion will never accomplish the reform
of those who are blindly attached to these
dogmas. As they behold Europe turning with
disgust from the slaveocracy of the south—and
as slavery is laid open in all its corruptions,
the charm of Democracy will lose its sway.
That Is, the charm of false Democracy will give
way to true Democratic feeling, and era long a
lofty principle of Democracy will prevail where
a false and malicious devotion to the power
which is created by slavery, exists.
And thus, from degradation in politics—from
contests in which men are made of more impor
tance than measures of public good and social
vitality, and as the people begin fully to under
stand the tricks by which this degradation is
produced, we can only expect reform and pro
gress. The Democratic leaders never swayed
the minds of the masses by argument. They
never elected a high official on a clear issue of
principle. But always descending to degrada
tion, they have achieved their success by tricks
and lies— by just such plans as those with
which they now assail tha efforts of loyal men
to rescue the govelnment from rebellion.
When in power, Democracy shrinks from noth
ing tbat is monstrous or mean. When out of
power, its adherents will stoop to any degrada
tion for its possession. Vide, the past and
present course of the Democratic leaders.
EMANCIPATION CONSTITUTIONAL. —The great
Virginia orator, Patrick Henry, whose democra.
cy uone will question, predicted that a period
would come when Congress would attempt the
manumission cf the slaves as a Constitutional
act. And, continues he, have they not the
power? "Have they not the power to provide
for the general defence and welfare? May
they not think that these call for the abolition
of slavery ? May they not pronounce all
slaves free, and will they not be warranted by that
power ? This is no ambiguous implication, or
logical deduction. The Constitution speaks to
the point: TREY HAVE Vile POWER, in clear, un
equivocal terms, and will, clearly and cerfai
exercise Debates of Va., Vol. •
p. 591/ But this was in the good old da
when Democracy meant something and stood
on the broad platform of the Declaration of
Independence that "all men are created equal,"
and when Democrats (like Jefferson, Madison,
Patrick Henry) had heads to think and hearts
to feel for the "rights of. all mankind." Then
the Constitution was understood to be framed
for the advancement of liberty—mow "sham
Democrats" can see in it nothing but a con
servator of "Southern rights and Interests"
and especially of slavery ?
SUPPLYING THEIR OWN MIME.
Some of our cotemporaries are very severe on
the manner in which the military courts of
inquiry are conducted in Washington, and
among these the Cincinnati Daily Times, be
comes scathingly sarcastic, when it declares
that the proceeding]] of these courts are pro
ducing some rich morsels for European satire
and rebel merriment. Certainly the gentlemen
bound in gold lace, who have gained promo
tion, and are now in the enjoyment of the
highest military honors, without ever having
won a battle or successfully condicted a cam
paign, are demonstrating how dangerous it
is for &nation to distribute its militrry favors
upon any other principle than that of a reward
for professional merit and personal virtue. The
prevailing rule, so far as the Army of the Po
tomac is concerned, has been to shower honors
and pay upon those most capable and most
willing to do nothing towards the accomplish
ment for which the army was organised. Look
at McDowell. The war found him in an ordi
nary military position. He was honored with
the command of the Army of the Potomac, and
managed it so as to bring disgrace to the army
and shame to the country. For this he was
promoted to a Major-Generalship. In the new
position he continued to repeat his early career,
and was undisturbed, though complaints grew
loud, thick and fast, until'a gallant officer,
while his life blood was rapidly ebbing out on
a disastrous battle field, wrote that he was the
victim of McDowell's treason, and then died.
Upon this McDowell ordered a Court of Inquiry,
and when the Court met the Government had
no charges to present against him! The rule
of trial was then transposed, as the rule of pro
motion had been, and McDowell was allowed
to prove himself not guilty I
McDowell proceeded, among other things, to
prove that he was never drunk. Up steps a
Colonel Goodwin, and swore that he had seen
the General drunk in the city of Washington.
McDowell immediately offers to prove that this
Colonel Goodwin—the commander of a regi
ment, remember—bad served a term in a peni-:
tentiary ! And in that manner is high military
evidence to be discredited. Goodwin has
challenged McDowell, and so they go. •
So also in the case of Fitz John Porter. Fits
John, who never did anything in his life
entitling him to a higher position than lienten
ant, a position in which the breaking out of the
rebellion found him, rapidly gained the highest
military honors, through some unknown influ
ences.
Pope charges Porter with purposely withhold
ing his corps from action to secure his defeat.
Pope makes out a clear case, demonstrating
that Porter could have saved the day and would
not do it. What does Fits John do? By a
rigid cross-examination be endeavors to con
vince the court that Pope is such a great liar he
cannot be believed under oath ! That is the
plain English of the proceedings in the Porter
court-martial.
Official publications developed that when
Pope was in command of the Army of Virginia,
he reported Sigel as entirely "unreliable."
That report has just come to light, and Sigel,
and all the Tentonism of the Army of thr
Potomac immediatel-m-....0 - 4 ,-- ".
- z eer, have demanded
Court of Inquiry. When those who "fight mit
Sigel" get after Pope what splendid develop
ments will come forth.
These Courts of laquiry.demonstrate one
broad fact—the best place in the world toatecure
unworthy promotion, and to unmake a good
General, is the Army of the Potomac.

The total vote of 1860 was 2,648,209, that of
1862 2,291,248, showing a total decrease of
366,961. After deducting the increase to both
parties in four states, as shown by the above
table, this decrease is seen to be divided as
follows : Administration 281,612, Opposition
74,749 ; an excess in the Administration de
crease of 206,763 votes I And yet...the vote this
year has been an exceedingly full one as com
pared with last year, and also with 1860, when
we consider the large number of voters gone to
the war.
The total Opposition majority is but 13,870
this year against 297,693 for Mr. Lincoln in
1860. Who can doubt the result if the volun
teers had been at home ? The whole mass of
them would need to be converted in order to
insure a Democratic victory.
PENNSYLVANIANS IN RHODE ISLAND
We have lately been in communication,
through the mail, with several of the sick and
wounded men belonging to Pennsylvania regi
ments, who are now in the hospitals located
at Portsmouth Grove, R. L The story which
these men write, is as melancholy as it is
pitiful, developing a system of unmerciful con
duct towards the sick soldier, which would
disgrace a cannibal, were be to treat with simi 7
lar severity the captive he contemplates to
devour. We have refrained from alluding to
ese communications, simply because we have
Aired our share of the resentment engender-
by such statements. But justice to the sick
and wounded men belonging to Pennsylvania,
who are in the hospitals of Rhode Island, com
pels us at least to call attention to the simple
fact that these men are bitterly complaining—
complaining of wrongs which demand redress—
of injuries and insults alike insufferable and
disgraceful.
—lt seems somewhat .inexplicable that the
people of Pennsylvania, who. are' serving the
pennopluanta IDA) telegraph_ taOpt tinitin!, Member 9, 1862,
federal government In the army, should be
transported past their own doors, and through
their own ports, to be placed in hospitals among
strangers. The sick and wounded Pennsylva
nians who are in the hospitals of Rhode Island,
were compelled to suffer the hardships of a
voyage of seven hundred miles, before they
reached their destination, when, in one seventh
of the number of miles, they would have been
able to cross the borders of the ICeystone state,
and at once found themselves among friends
and relatives, instead of strangers and pefty
hospital tyrant'. Another fact in this connec
tion is, that It would have east the goVernment
only $4 00 per man to send the patients home
to Pennsylvania, while it cost $3O 00 per man
to send the same soldiers to the hospitals of
Rhode Island.
These facto admit of no comment.
We notice of late, that our cotemporaries in
the larger cities, are indulging in strong ap
peals for the suffering and starving operatives
of Lancashire, Hem This Wall very well asa dis
play—but it should befirst carefully ascertained
whether we have those at home who need arid
demand our assistance, before we go abroad,
to contribute &share of our abundance to revive
the starving mobs of -Great Britain, and send
sweet morsels td tickle throati which will thrill
with cheers'for the first " secession" agent who
may appeal to them for applause for the Davis
Confederacy. We have had enough of feeding
starving Britisher& Wo have beheld their
neutrality end high regard for the progress
of civilisation, and it is about time that
the struggling people of this country leave
the Britishers to starve or to help thew
selves as best they can. If the mons+
which has been need in fitting out• rebel pirati
cal steamers, by the Christian people and
capitalists of England, had hien devoted to the
poor of that country, gaunt famine would not
now stalk through the streets of Lanotshire.
If the wealth which his been lost in running
the blockade, or sacrificed to southern credit,
had been disposed of in fair and legitimate
trade, want would not now.phich the stomac
of starving John Bull These aYti roush truths;
and It is time that the English people learn the
lesson which they inculcate.
If the people of New York or Philadelphik

should be anxious first to contribute lavishly to
the suffering poor at home. Let us 'remember

ORDERS NO. 12.
Ist. It having been made the duty of all
military commanders to correct, as far as it may
be in their power,the evils and irregularities
arising from the eculiar state of the service at
this time, by collecting all stragglers, and for
warding them to their commands or stations,
it will hereafter be required that all officers in
this city.make known to the Acting Provost
Marshal, by what authority they are here, and
if it is not found sufficient they will be arrested
and sent to their commands. If the authority
is sufficient, they will be given a pass.
2d. It is expected that officers arriving In the
city will report at the Acting Provost Marshal's
Office and register their names ' stating rank
and regiment, and the hotel, boarding or pri
vate house at which they are staying, by what
authority they are here, and how long they
expect to remain.
. Bd. The Provost Guard will arrest all soldiers
found in the city without proper authority, and
send them to Camp Curtin, where they will be
closely guarded and forwarded to their regi
ments as heretofore.
4th. It will be the duty of the Acting Provost
Marshal to see that all officers entitled to them,
be supplied with passes, and those who are not,
will be reported to these Headquarters for
arrest.
sth. By General Orders from the War De
partment, every Mayor, Chief of Police, Justice
of the Peace, and Postmaster, is authorized to
act as special Provost Marshal, with authority
to arrest any officer or soldier absent without
jast cause from. his command, and convey him
. to the nearest military post, where he is enti
tled to receive the transportation, reasonable
expenses, and five dollars, for each officer or
pritate so arrested and delivered. In come
,quence of this it is hoped that all officers at
least, will avoid the disgrace of being reported
to the. War Department as deserters.
