THE MULLIGAN SURRENDER
A BRAVB MAN AND A GOOD GAUSS lIIMITUATED
Under our telegraphic head we publish a full
account of the surrender of Col. Mulligan, who,
witha small force,had been contending with vast
ly superior numbers for the defense of Lexington,
Mo. The details of this news are truly sicken
ing as well as most humiliating, and involve
a responsibility which the nation will sooner or
later call to a strict account. The loss of Lex
ington is not of so much importance as the ices
of a large number of brave men, and the moral
influence it will wield against the cause of, the
government among those who are confided in to
support and sustain it in power. If men are to
be surrendered thus, after bravely battling for
many long , and weary hours, hungry and
thif sty, with our large armies almost within hear
ing of their guns, and a still larger force within
a few hours rallying asssistance, we may need
strong armies hereafter, and lack the force nec
essary to maintain the honor of our flags, be
cause men are not dumb brutes, to be driven
into the jaws of death unconscious of danger, or
left to contend, with a superior force, unassisted
and unrefreshed. For four days, the brave men
under the gallant Mulligan fought like lions
For four days and nights, they withstood the
iron hail from thirty-thousand muskets and
rifles in the hands of as many traitors. For
four days they raffled around their, flag --
and then they surrendered, but ,not to these
numbers, not to the messengers, of death
that were sped to their bosoms, but to the ex
haustion of their , worn out bodies, hungry, and
thimty, and thus physically unable, longer to
contend, The result is a disgrace too black
and deep to be nnrebuked, and until it, is ex
plained officially, will continue to stir the peo
ple with indignation against those responsible..
We direct. the attention of the reader to the
full accotmt of this humiliating result in another
column.

cheerfully welcome him back to his post in their
name.

PENNSYLVANIA DEMOCRACY.
We have positively and frequently declared
through these columns, that the masses of what
once composed the Democratic party, were as
loyally devoted to the vindication of the Con
stitution and the enforcementof the laws, as any
other class of men composing any other politi
cal organization in the country. And while we
haie asserted and maintained these truths, we
have also proven that this loyalty was not the
result of any lesson inculcated by the creeds of
that party, or the effect of the teaching of the
leaders thereof. On the contrary, the position
of almost every Democratic leader and organ in
this state, directly connected with the Buchanan
administration, which was claimed as the embodi
ment of the Democracy, has been one of an
tagonism with the government while engaged
in a struggle with rebellion. The policy of the
men Who hold the organization of the Demo
cratic party of Pennsylvania in their hands, has
been to tinhorn:lathe administration of Abraham
Lincoln, for the purpose first of increasing their
local strength, and next once more to win a
national existence by regaining the favor of
their old allies, the traitors in the south, who
are now in rebellion against the federal au
thority. There can be no mistaking these posi
tions of the old leading hacks of what remains
of the Democracy of the state, nor must there
be any further mistaking their plans in the ap
proaching election. These men are determined
if possible to carry a majority of the. Rouse of
Representatives, and thus assure their friends in
the south that the first steps were taken in
another of those disgraceful compromises by
which the south heretofore maintained:power at
the expense of the majority of the people of the
Union.
The Pittsburg Gazette of Saturday last, refers to
this:subject, and asks its friends to look calmly
at the effect which the "Union" movement is
likely to have, upon the political aspect of the
Legislature. -Ourfriends have, in nominating
their tickets, conceded to Democrats one mem
ber of the House in Chester, one in Lancaster,
one in Schuylkill, one in Luzerne, one in
Adams,.one in Northumberland, one in Frank
lin, one in. Huntingdon, and one in Jefferson,
and two are claimed in Allegheny county.
The ones we have here noted will be chosen,
beyond a doubt ; Jet us , admit, for the
argument's sake, that the two claimed from
Allegheny county will also be chosen.—
Then look at the effect upon the House, the
probable result in the other counties being ta
ken into account;

THE QUESTION OF ENLISTMENT.
While the people of Pennsylvania are willing
to contribute all of the means in their Owe&
sion, both in men and money, for the suppres
sion of the slaveholders' rebellion at the south,
they have a just regard for the laws and regu
lations of their own government as a sovereign
state, which they will not allow to to infringed
or violated. During the entire period of prepa
ration, and the time taken up by other states
for the enlistment and organization of the quota
of troops required from such states by the general
government, the authorities or this state have
been harrassed with a systematic attempt to
bring them into discredit, and if possible im
pede the progress of the military organization
in their charge. These harrassing embarrass
ments, emanating from disappointed office
hunters, both civil and military, and which
were used by a band of gambling speculators
who have been infesting the state capital,
hanging on the flanks of our departing
troops, or howling around the Executive,
Commissariat and Quarter Master's . Depart
went, have been utterly defeated and silenced,
and the Government and military organizations
of the state of Pennsylvania allowed fur a time
to move on both harmonious and,successfullY•
The result of that harmony and success is seen
in the division of the grand army of the Re
public now on the banks of the Potomac, com
manded by Gen. McCall; and had it not been
fin 'an interference of a different and more por
erful character, in the shape of indepenclinit
regiments, and incursions into the state of re
cruiting officers from other commonwealths,
pennsylvania would to-day have had another
division of like character and strength compar
ed with that under Gen. McCall. The material
is here—the ardor and zeal have been manifest
ed, but these have .been almost porrapted or
completely disgusted by a system of degrading
rivalry, which had sprung np.in our, idst, and
a still more dangerouspractice, (in the face of
statute law forbiding it,) of ,permitting the en
listment of men within the bounds of this to
fill up regiments ordered by other oommon
wealths. .
The attention of the courts has at length been
directed to this subject, in a case which occur
red in Philadelphia yesterday. It came.up be
fore Judge Ludlow, au.d was involved in thefact
that two Philadelphians had enlisted in the Lin
coln cavalry of New York, and subsequently
enrolled themselves in a company attached to
one of our own state regiments. The effort
made was to treat these men as deserters, and
on this assumption they, had a • hearing on a
writ of habeas corpus. = The learned Judge has
postponed the decision, on account of the fact
that the men were actually in, the service of the
Milted States,, and therefore a hasty • interfer
ence might look like an angry conflict be
tween the state and national' government,
which, so far as the state is concerned, has
never to any degree existed. This case
will end this harressing interference, and put
a stop to'a system which has so long been car
.. , .
ried on to the Injury and disgrace of Pennsyl
vania. It will rally around our state authori
ties the full strength , of the commonwealth,.
and give to the Old Keystone the degree and
the share of honor , which of
,right belongEi
her for the immense contribution of . f men . and
money she has made to the government in this
crisis, and it will, also impart that systematic
harmony which has characterized our military
organization before these interferences from
other statescommenced. In the meantithe, and
while we are looking for the decision of. Judge
Ludlow on this subject, we may also look for a
proclamation from the Governor, announcing the
policy and determination of the state in reference
to thisbusiness.. And our readers may also rest
assured that no steps will be taken not in con
formity-with the law and thepreservation of the
interests. involved.-

Middle Paxton has been nominated for Assem

sok the suffrages of their fellow-citizens for offices
of trust and profit; and it is the high preroga
tive of the elector to pause, reason and reflect
before he (lets his ballot. Let the intelligent
"kr ask the question what claim has Dr. Heck
for his vote or influence at the approaching
election. On the 9th of April, 1861, Governor
Curtin's message to the Legislature dished an
appropriation embraced in House bill, Ile. 1099,
entitled "an act for the better organisation of
the militia of the Commonwealth." This bill
appropriated $500,000. For wtutt.purpose? It
came up for consideration on Friday, April 12,
1861—the very day the
