Have We an Enemy in.Onr Midst
When the Tories of the Itevolution secretly
labored to counteract the efforts of the fatri
ota of '76 to break loose from, the iron rule of
thenrother country, they-justified themselves
with the plea that the ColonieS" were incapable .
of self-government, and tliat the proposed ex
periment of a rule independent of that of .
Great Britain would resultin disaster. Those
who indulged in such a plea were of cause
promptedby hypoerisy, endeavoring by : their
cearamin' g to cone* the realinfamy of their
course:. English gitfidi . and British Promise=
of trcfmotion to placei of honor and profit in'
the:gift of the government of George FAL
were the persuasions which controlled the
sentiments and shaped the judgment of the
Toiies of the Revolution: ,But the Tories of
'64 have no such plea to offer as that put
forth by those of '76. Free government_
is no longer an experiment It is a suc
cess;- with the. Tories" ' of '64, • and its
very prosperity created the motives for .its
overthrow. The slave-holder 'never would
have revolted, had free government ex
hibited signs of decay. Its vigorous devel
opment and mighty progress—ihe celerity
with which free States ;were added to the
Union—the strength and intelligence of free
labor, combined to enrage and confound those
who clung to the institution . : of slavery, until
determined if possible to counteract the-influ
ences thus accumulating for the destruction
-of slavery, rebellion was resorted to as a means
of destroying freedom and preserving slavery.
Bat, .we have digressed from the qusstion with
which we started. Rave we an enemy in our
midst? We do not mean a mere political en
emy—one who while he differs broadly as to
the practicability or policy of certain mea
sures of the Administration, adopted with a
view to crush rebellion and restore peace to
the country, is still willing to uphold the Gov
ernment, and for the time being sustain the
authorities in all their acts. We do not mean
a mere peace man, who is opposed to the Ad
ministration because of its armed demonstra
tions and because he abhors war.,We mean
such an enemy as is in waiting for he oppor
tune moment to force those in authority
to change the entire policy of the Government,
au& declare those who now represent its
potVer and peril their lives in its defence,
usurpers and traitors. Is there such an enemy
hi OW midst? WE SERIOUSLY AND RELIGIOUSLY
RELIEVE THAT MERE IS—BELIEVE IT AS FIRMLY
As wr. HAVE RAITH IN THE BIBLE TRUTH THAT
THE DEVIL VISITS THE EARTH TO ENGAGE WHIR
,.
We are apprehensive that the loyal men of
the North, of the free States and particularly
of Pennsylvania, do not fully or fairly esti
mate the danger by which they are surround
ed. We are resting in false notions of se
curity on the thin surface covering a volcano.
We are , solicitously and anxiously awaiting the
result of the battle between our armies and
Those of treason, without making a single pre
paration* the contingency of defeat. All
our attention and hopes are in victory—while
we never for a moment offer. to raise a single
barrier, to organize, or to arm in order the
better-is meet . defeat , l The enemy that - lurks
in our midst is , chuckling over this apathy
sod indifference. The foe that is organized in
every free State, ready to take advantage of
the defeat of oar armies, bases his hopes of
success on the lazy thoughtlessness of loyal
men, who, unable either to coMprahend the
+awful magnitude of the crisis 'or appreciate
the vast interests at stake, depend on the ef
forts of those in the field for the entire success
of the straggle to restore the authority 011ie
Government. Perhaps zwhen it , too
those who now neglect their duty, 4ill4be: able
to appreciate the absolute criminality of their
condid.
Wo believe in plain words and therefore we
frankly and boldly declare thit there is an
organization in the free States ready to take
advantage of any disaster which may occur to
our arms, 'force' 'the retirement of the na
tional authorities, change the - rulers of every
free State now-supporting the effort to crush
the slave-holders' rebellion, and thus, by a re
volt in the North, strengthen rebellion in the
South. This organization depends for suc
cess on the - apathy alluded to, on the part of
loyal men. Those thus combiner: eg •,-eiaiect to
- wring success from the dismay of the peo
ple. Intending to throw off *their disguise
when the whole North becomes paralyzed by
the consternation of defeat; thei :anticipate
a i easy victory. And when they become vie
briortafree Institutions and free government '
will perish forever. 7 -
What is now needed jp the freee States
among loyal men, is a thorough, active and
permanent organization. We must watch the
enemy is otir midst. We - must watch those
who are outspoken in their_ treason. We must
be wary of those who refuse to recognize the
enormity of rebellion. We muse unite for the
enteiginCY of a defeat of our armies! Those
wha.iillY.....neglect_ _such a duty_put a hailer
about their' own necks, ready for some cop
perhead to tighten when'the opportnuityis of
laded, Thaw who retreat to the precincts of
their domestic privacy - or igtv,l themselves-UR
solely to the interests of their busineii766 - :
pending upon the authorities and the armies
to crush treason, contribute, :actually to.a
danger which daily threatens to overwhelm
the land. Every man is an authority, who acts
with the Government. Every community,
when organized in favor of the Government,
is a power for its defence and support. Let
us, then, we implore all good men, at once
organize to counteract the influence of the foe
in our midst. Let us at least be ready to
meet every danger like men—prepared to de
fend our homes and our country to the last
extremity and against all enemies.
What la Demogracti
- A Democrat is one who believes in the sa
cred andinalietiable right.of sovereign States
to rule themselves; who liolds to the doctrine
that governments derive their just powers
from the consent of the governed; who gloried
itc the Union because its authority was based
ONLY on the free consent of 'sovereign and co
equal - slater 'States; and who hoped 'for uni
versal happiness throughOtit • the world, be
cause he saw and felt the possibility of gov
ernment established by consent, and resting
not on force, but on the unconstrained Wee
tion of the people.—Tory Organ.
Wliefl Andrew Jackson lived and flourished,
he taught the true Demorcatic doetrine that,
the &etas were the creation of the - National
Government—that-'the original colinaies liko
the, territories, Were Made States by the aetion.
of a power Superior to their own, to which
,pOwer they owed allegience f .and from -which
allegianelliCie'iitgle Stare Itad , the right to ab-:
solve' itse Once a State in the UniMi, al
ways a State in that, connection, from *hich
there is no anthoilty, either in our -principle
or system of Government for a divorce. The
faith of a Government resting on the consent,
and the affections Of the peOPle. is What the
people who are now contending with rebellion
desire tlrthly to establish. But when this faith
is • professed by Democrats who believe in
slavery, it bicomes a shame in-the sight of God
and Man: The-slave-holder. in` rebellion in
ists „ that no , Government is safe, except it
rests on the law .6£ force as a .basis, not
of the consent of the many, - but of- the
will and eXecntion.'of the favored few. The
whole course of modern Democracy has been
to belie their profession& Instead of submit
ting to the will Of the people as represented
in a government constitutionally ohosen and
administered, the leaders of the Democratic
party, with the aid "of the slave power,-have
constantly organiSed opposition to Such 'a
government depending upon the law of force'
for their success, and resorting to arms as a
last effort to carry out their, plots. The attri
butes of treason and Slavery alone animate
modern Democracy—and when these are de
stroyed, the great pests of politics and society
will have been removed

to make the draft for one year was retained.
The bill was recommitted to the Military Com

to-morrow. _

,Owing , to the indisposition experienced by
Gen. Hancock, occasioned by his wound re=
calved at Gettysburg, having again 'optthed,
which is the result of constant riding in the
saddle of late, which for a day or two past`has
oonfined him to his - tent, 'Gen. Birney was ,

their defensive lities by the enemy this thorn

day. It was designed to change - the rebel Po.
sition early this Morning by a 'simultaneous
attack by the several corps, with Baldy Smith
on the right, Birney, with the Second corps;
on Smith's lett? Warren, with' a portion of
the Fifth Corps, next in line; and Burnside
on the left. At daylight however, it was dis
covered that the enemy had, during . the night,
quietly withdrawn his lines to a point within
a mile of city, where a new line of defdice
has been prepared. This was, doubtless,
made necessary by the frequent and threaten
ing•demonstrations made by. Birney, Barlow
and Burriaide during: Thursday and Friday,
which resulted in - • the =loss to the enemy of
what Hancock regards.as the key to the posi
tion they then occupied. • . • -
At 11 dolooklast night a furious Wait
made on:Burnside's front, at :the pOint where,
yesterday morning, he attacked the rebel po-'
- sition with--such effect,,capturing , a line of
`works, with' , several pieces of artillery, and
about 500 prisoners. After a, severe contest,
in which our men. behaved admirably, the
fort was re-occupied, by the enemy.
The change in the line has had - the effect to
concentrate the forces under Beauregard while
it enables our troops to Cover irnportent ap
