A PERTINENT QUESTION
A friend lately enquireed of ns to know, why
the Germans who seeklthis country and become
citizens, at once attach themselves to the Re
publican party? The qutsticn is pertinent,
notwithstanding it is easily answered. The
Germans of Europe have ever been the friends
of freedom. All the progress that hart been
attained for liberty in the old world was achiev
ed beneath banners born aloft by German
hands The German pen and the German
tongue have never tired in wilting and speak
ing for the defence of liberty. Both have _al
ways been the bold foes of tyranny. Both
have undauntedly opposed slavery. Both hate
oppression. Both love liberty. Hence, when
the Germans of the old seek the new world, it
is only in quest of opportunities and friends to
aid and enable them to carry out the ideas
conceived when in the Fatherland. That he
may improve his condition, the German leaves
his home. That he may escape the tyrant
whom he cannot crush, he giveS up ra land that
i s still dear to hint, seeking another country
which he make even dearer by the ?glorious
triumph and realization of his love of liberty.
'thus imbued, thus inspired, when the German
reaches the shores of America, his first attrac
tion is naturally, rationally and logically found
in the Republican party. He is a pilgrim in
gut st of the defenders of liberty, and he finds
them in the Republican reeks_ Hoseeksiuflu
enaes calculated to elevate, equalize and im
prove all men, and tin se lie discovers in the
principles of the Republican party. And for
these reasons we find the great mass of
our intelligent German fellow citizens in the
ranks of the Republican 'tarty. They are the
natural antagonists of slavery. Whatever
other nations have learned of liberty, it. was
from lessons inculcated by German example,
Even England 11103 derived what little
she can boast of in this particular,
from the influence of Germany on her people
and institutions, her writers and statesmen.
From the,,hour that Martin Luther struck for
religious liberty, the hearts and the heads and
the hands of all true Germans have been en
gaged in the promulgation of the same princi
ple liberty and equality are as essential to a
Gerritan's existence as light and air.
—For these rea.sous all true Germans become
Republicans when they also become citizens of
the Unlted‘States. To become anything else,
by attachment to party, would be to forswear
all their convictions of what is right and just.
To become Democrats, would be to renounce
their love of liberty. Democracy is a false pro
fession in these days, which means anything
but what the term implies. None understand
this better than the intelligent German. To
become a Democrat, in hie opinion, would be
to become the advocate and defender of tyrants
—of wrong; of civil and religions bondage.
In preference to this, the German would court
death, and woo it as ho woed his bride in his
far-oft fatherland.
Gr.s. CAMERON, during his present visit to
Washington city, addressed the Pennsylvania
Soldiers' Relief Association, and in the course
of his speech is reported by the Washington
Republican to have made a strong appeal in fa
vor of the removal of the sick and wounded
Pennsylvanians to such localities within the
omits of the Commonwealth, or even to their
immediate homes, where they could secure the
attention of their friends, and thus render
their immediate recovery more certain than it
is while subject to the uncertain care and ques
tionable professional skill of the hospitals. In
the comae of the Republican's sketch of this
speech, it says that—
Gen. Cameron spoke of the importance of
looking to the welfare of soldiers, and said it
was far better for our soldiers to be sent home, I
to be cared for by their relatives and friends, I
thatilo be kept here, at Government expense,
away from those home influences which are
very much calculated to restore men to health.
He denounced the policy of keeping these men
here, mind claimed that the same patriosism
which brought them here would, when they
ieei.mvereti, bring them hack again.
Speaking of the proposed Christmas dinner,
he said: "My God, better send them home and
let them eat a crust of bread by their own fire
sides, than entertain them sumptuously where
affection and the light of love wore not present
to cheer their otherwise comparatively desolate .
condition. The _relatives of the sick and
wounded soldier were yearning for their return
—nut a return from before a rebel foe, but a
return for restoration, for the repossession of the
health and strength with which they first went
forth valiantly to tight the battles of the coun
try. If the GoVernment neglects much longer
to respond to public opinion and solicitude on
this subject, it will incur a frightful responsi
bility, one involving the lives of its bravest
defenders, and therefore of course imperilling
its own success and perpetuity."
In reference to the war, he said we must fight
it through, hciwever great the sacrifice. There
could- be no compromise, and as to reconstruc•
Hon, there could .be no reconstruction of a
house with rotten and sound timber.
WHAT'S IN A NAME f--There IS not probably a
word in the English language more absurd than
ABOLITIONIST. Time was when it was regarded
as opprobious as the term "Christian" in the
last days of the Roman Empire. The rebels call
the army of the Union "Abolitionists." The
"Conservatives," par excellence, call the oppo
bents of bogus Democracy and treason "Aboli
tionists." 'fine, and "an energetic prosecution
of the war," will change all this. Until then,
the true friends of progress can afford to shoul
der the odium. It the friends of the Union
• the villainous slang of such &cesh
as the New York Herald and Patriot, they
have some doubt in the sacredness of
cause. Abuse from traitors is a certificate
riveter.
TEE PEOPLE IN THE RURAL DLSTRIOTS :
We see by our exchanges that the people in
the rural districts are moving once more in
support of the war, and in appliuse of the acts
of the national administration to bring the war
to a final conclusion. While this in not done in
any demonstration to swell the armies of the
Republic, the movement is equally the proof of
the patriotism and loyaity of the people. Were it
necessary, the men who compose the meetings
thus convened, would rally to the cause of the
country, and the necessity, if ever it is increas
ed in a manner to test the people alluded to,
will as surely find them responding in the right
manner, as it now finds their brothers and sons
in the front ranks of battle. • _•
The latest demonstration of thelio dlo which
we allude, was one held in Bellefonte, some
days since. It was a meeting of the people,
without distinction of party. It was a meeting
convened solely to give expression to loyalty,
and the sentiments put forth in the resolutions
then passed, aro worthy of being repeated by
the people in mass meeting, in every county in
the Commonwealth.
We append one or two of the resolutions, to
show the temp6r of the people in that portion
of the state :
Resolved, That we will cordially and heartily
sustain the national administration, in all the
measures it may find necessary to resist or put
down this stupendous rebellion, and that as our
ancestors pledged their lives, their fortunes,
and. their sacred honor to the support of our
national existence and national indepdndence,
so we, to whom have descended. the national
blessings which they sought, will also in s his
struggle for the perpetuation of our nations!
institutions, pledge our all in. support of the
government.
Resolved, That whilst we consider all men
fallible and liable to err in judgment, yet we
will uphold the hand of the Chief Magistrate of
this nation, and sustain and encourage him in
all the measures honestly put forth and adopted
by him for destroying the powee and crippling
the physical energies of our enemies ; that we
deprecate anything like a factious, faultfinding .
spirit, and that we envy not the man whose
patriotism is only large enough to fill the mea
sure of his party preferences.
Resolved, that in a pressing , emergency like
the present it becomes the duty of the Govern
ment to destroy as far as possible every element
of strength possessed by those arrayed in rebel
lion against it, so far as may be necessary for
the restoration of peace, and the assertion of
civil authority ; and if shivery be an important
element of success belonging to the rebels,
without the existence of which the rebellion
must speedily be made to yield to lawful au
thority, and by the continuation whereof the
rebellion may be greatly prolonged, it is the
bounden duty of the Govertunent to remove by
the most effective means within its reach so
troublesome an enemy of military power. And
whilst as a measure of civil policy emancipation
could not be regarded other than as unwise,
unjust and unconstitutional, yet as a military
necessity these having the interests of the na
tion in charge ought not to hesitate to resort
to such policy if deemerrby them necessary to
preserve our national existence.
The same meeting adopted the annexed reso
lution amid great enthusiasm :
Resolved, That with feelings of honest pride
we welcome back to our midst our respected
neighbor and honored felloW citizen, Andrew
G. Curtin, Governor of Pennsylvania, now tem
porarily sojourning amongst us. ; , We esteem
him not only for 'his ivies rintrptudeattriadiibut
for his warm and loyal heart. Long , Irtay. be
live to•enjoy:the confidence and the smiles of
the thousands who delightto honor him as our
Chief Magistrate;
THE J7IDICIARY t RE73S7IING THE DE-
M MACY.
We stated some time since, the fact that by
means of a conspiracy in the Councils of Phila
delphia, the Democratic members of that body
effected the expulsion of a' Republican,' Mr.
Duffield, for no other reason Under Heaven,
than that of securing the election of certain
Heads of Department in the local government
of Philadelphia. On joint ballot, the Repub
licans have a majority of one vote. In order
to overcome this vote, this ejectment of Mr.
Duffield was• agreed upon and carried into
effect —but'on an appeal to the Conrt 'of' Com
mon Pleas, the action of the conspirators was
exposed and reversed, and Mr. Duffield re•
instated as a n ember of Councils.
This whole business is in keeping with • the
,
plans of the Democracy to get power. Power,
is now their dream and their object. They
want it in the local goternment of cities, in
State Administrations, in Legislatures and in
the nation. Hortor, truth, justice and right
are all to be sacrificed to this purpose: But we
trust that as they were thwarted' in their base
designs in the Philadelphia Couneils,.they will
also be defeated in all their other plans. The
rebuke of a high Court of Justice, is the illus
tration of the corruption of Democniny.
LET US IL4VE OUR WOUNDED
We can solemnly assure the War Department
or the Surgeon General of the United States,
whichever has the matter in charge,' that. un
lees the return of the sick and Nounded soldiers
to the states in which they enlisted, be at once
or speedily ordered, it will be an uphill busi
ness to recruit or draft men to bring up our
armies to their original strength. The longer
this matter is disguised to the War Department,'
the worse it becomes for the country, for tlie
army, for our,ultiruate success ! Communities and
commonwealths are willing to send men' to
fight the battles of the natiton—but they have
a right to ask and they do demand that, When'
such as these are wounded or become sick, they
be returned to them, for succor and comfort,
for relief and restoration. In fact this whole
business of refusing the removal of the akk
and wounded, is nothing more than a mean
display of personal power. It Is &disgrace to the
humanity of the nation, and an insult to the
sensibilities and the affections of the . people.
Thousands of men would have been restored to,
the service,'iong since, had they been permitted
to return home when first wounded or attacked
with sickness. Now, however, thousands have
been lost to that service—lost to their friends
and their country, by the neglect of the hospi
tals and the inhiamanity of the War Depart
ment.
We are glad to see that the people are moving
in this matter. To be silent longer would seem
like endorsing the injustice of refusing the sick
Or wounded soldiers permission to return to
their homes, at least such as can be, removed
with safety. Let the demand be thundered in
the eats of the-'War Department from iivety
county and state in the Union.

Our Dead ' all Buried.
HEADQUARTERS Or ARMY Or THE POTONAO,
Thurtslay Evening, Dtc. 18, 10 r. x.
Yesterday the rebels sent, under a flag of
truce, a request that we would bury our dead.
A burying party accordingly went over and
continued their labors to-day. •
During the truce, Col. Walton, chief of
Longstreet's artillery, - informed some of our
officers that the rebel infantry force engaged
on liitannees front on Saturday was only two
brigades; but that they had a large reserve
force near by.
Be said our men exhibited the greatest bra
very, but he considered the rebel position im
pregnable, and that a force of five hundred
thousand would find it impossible to carry the
heights in the face of their batteries.
The rebel loss was small, compared with ours,
from the• fact that they were protected by a
stone wall and rifle pits.
Our losses, as heretofore reported, have been
considerably decreased by arrivals of stragglers
in camp.
The enemy took nearly eight hundred prison
,rs from us, a considerable number of which
were absent from their camps when wo evacua
ted the south side of the river.
The prisoners taken on both sides have been
paroled.
It is stated that Generals Lee and Longstreet
came down to-day and held conversation with
some of our officers.
The flag of truce was withdrawn to-day after
all our dead were buried.

HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
On motion of Mr. KELLY, (Pa.,) it was
Resolved, That the Secretary of the Interior be
requested to communicate to Congress any com
munication received from John Sem agent to
Liberia for the recapture of Africans ' and others,
as to the course taken with regard to such por
tions as were landed in that Republic in 1860-61,
agreeably to the orders of the Government.
Mr. Low, (Ind.,) ogered a resolution instruct
ing the Committee on Military Affairs , to in
quire and report a bill by which the soldiers
who have been rendered unfit for service, by
wounds or other disabilities, be at once dis
charged from the service, and that all soldiers
at the military hospitals, who are fit for duty,
be returned to their respective regiments ; also,
establishing a board of medical officers to ex
amine into such cases, by visiting the hospitals
and examining into the physical condition of
the . men, with Tower to return the, rem.' Lb of
such. examinatidn to be reported to the Surgeon
General' tad tb:Coitgiess.
Mr. Low caused a letter to be read froma sol
dier at the convalescent camp near Alexandria,
dated Dec. 15th, in which the writer says the
soldiers there are in a deplorable condition; the
camp is dirty and the associations unpleasant
and degrading to them. They cannot remain
there and enjoy health; it is not unhandy to ob
tain water,but would have to be brought several
miles, while constant fires have to be kept np
keep them warm. They do not complain of to
the soldiers; they desire to return to their regi
meuts, wishing to share the dangers and honors
of their comrades. They would willingly share
the perils of another Antietam rather than re
main there. They remain cooped in there,
while their minds suffer as much as their bodies.
Some of the regiments have not been paid for
six months. The writer asks leave of Mr. Low
to use his influence to have them sent else
where. Men are lying on the ground, and
some who came there comparatively well are
now sick. Will you, be asks, give us some
all. We are far from home, friends and State
protection. We feel deeply the degradation of
,the company and associations at this place.
Mi. RICHARDSON, {DLO said this subject bad
been deliberated upon by the Committee on
Military Affairs. They were anxious to do
whatever was necessary to be done in the
premises to facilitate the discharge of soldiers
incapable of service. They had supposed that
the existing laws were necessary for that pur
pose, but he was desirous that the Senate bill
having that .object in view, should now be
considered.
Mr BLAKE, (Ohio.) suggested that the reso
lution be amended so that the committee shall
be further instructed to inquire info the pro
priety of placing the convalescent camp
under the charge of the Burgeon General.
He had been- informed by that officer that
it is not new under his control. He had
been there and knew from actual observation
that the camp was not fit to keep hogs in. The
soldiers were dying from neglect. The only
remedy is to place the camp under the control
of the Burgeon. General.
Mr. Low accepted the amendment, and the
resolution was adopted.
