Tate, Dear iir : Up to tbo present time, I have Leon a tilent but nttculivo peruser of the passiug events, and nt preaeut qucs tions of great importance which agitate the publio mind. ''America" our native laud, over which the angel of peace has so long spread its wings, is now agitated hy the strife of brethren. Oh ! America, the iioblcit Government on earth ; must thy check be mantled with shame. Ua3 the horrors of "civil war"' darkened tho paged of American history. Oun part of our Government under armi against tho other, and without hesitation they meet in dead ly strife ! The eyes of all nations are now resting upon us. They stand amazed ut tho tremendous warliko preparations, of both north and eouth and with eagerness, they await tho result. The period has arrived, which was long predicted by our ancestors. The animosity which has been nurtured in tho bosom of Ecctioual men has broken forth iu all its fury, and it now remains to bo decided, by tho "Olho Branch or by tho sword,'' whether our con stitution) are to bo maintained or destroy ed, and the fairest government ever devis ed by man cease to cxKt. A separation is uuncecsary,ifdirectcd(likoaucieut Greece) other States may "feccdu" also, liut we have a better opinion of our men, and means. Our Government will yet bo saved from the hands of tho "assassin and pi rate '' The utmost confidence is reposed iu tho venerable chicftan whoio arm never waned iu battle and whoso .shoulder was never turned on a foe. Iiiko bravo men wo fchould lay all par ty spirit aside and with one consent meet the usurpers of our Government. Tho great men (irrespective of partyisui) oven now battling for our Nationality, and why should any man so deprave himself as to provo recreant to tho trust and privila ges of au amcrican citizen. The name it self will inspire our men to deeds of valor. Hundreds of our youth are now marching to battle. Nay victory, follow their foot steps from Stato to State, and plant the emblems of our nationality on every battlo ground front tho "llio Graude to the Miss issippi." MAINK TOWNSHIP Maine, July 27, 1601- KDirou of ('olvmm.v Demochat. Dear Col. Talc; Doctor John, sicms to bo very irritable when wo refer him to tho HepuLlican creed. Now when aboli tionism is at a discount, tho Doctor Hies iuto a pet if reference is made to it. He even ignores his brother Grecly, who is the soul and body of Republicanism. If tho Doctor makes a few more concessions I might get to see his paper without "bor rowing" it. Keep cool, dear Doctor, it is Dog Days. Some thiuk it affects "weak minds," and tho ''wilful natures" tho Doe tor thinks "some men are cursed with" may be nothing more than tho outburst of a distempered imagination, resulting in part from causes above described. Hut chiefly, I think,oauscd by tho ineflieioney of thoso at tho helm of affairs. In this respect, I can sympathiso with the Doctor,for there really appears to bo a dearth of great men. 15ut tho keen vision of tho doctor may sec somo bright spot iu tho future that we Hack Woodsmen cannot fathom. Do careful, dear Doctor, and keep your torapor. BACK TOWNSHIP BLOOMSBURG, COLUMBIA COUNTY, PA.; For IU Columlit Democrat. Coi.. Tate : Sir In tho last Columbia Demo crat, of tho 3d inst., I sco a reply to my stricture! on Dr. John's sneer at "the jij. noranec of the pcojrfi of the hack toton ships," tby a fellow who signs himself "Jeffersouian Hcpublioan.'' "Tho signa ture is certainly an anomaly. To connect the name of Jefferson tho apoatlo of De mocracy," with a modern republican, docs sound homogenous. Jefferson tho slavchol dcrin union with Anti-slavcry,for it needs but littlo argument to show, that tho lead ing clement in tho Republican Party is Abolitionism. In tho first place, look at tho two most prominent men at the helm, Sewirtl and Chase, (wo will leave Mr. Lincoln, out as Mr, Hichardson says ho is an honest man, if they would let him alone,) look over tho history of these men's lives for tho last twunty years. Seward's "Irrcprcssiblo Conflict," his saying when Lincoln was elected, wo (tho Hcpublioan Party) will inaugurate a policy lhat would do away with fclavry. Chase's negro equality speech in Ohio, when thpy presented him with a silver pitcher. Again, take the "Helper Hook," which says "no man can bo a true patriot until he becomes an abolitouist," Viith a thousand other saying contrary to the genius of our iurtitulious. iow, Mr. Hcpublioan, wo will leave Mr. Jcfi'erion off. Who endorsed and thus recommended this infamous sectional Hook. 03 of your leading Representatives in Congress. It was sold along with Lincoln's Debates and was considered orthodox Republicanism. Again, look at the Foreign appointments. Who is C. M.Clay. Who rendered himself so famous recently at Paris ! Hurlingame, who was oven too much of an abolitionist for Ronton lo scud to Congress, and who wanted an anti-slavery God, Rible, and Constitution, is just tha material for a Foreign Ambassador during tho present reign of terror. Wo might speak of Carl Shurlz, and others, but this will luflico to show any reasonable man that a party governed by this kind of mateiial, must iu tho very nature of things, bo sec tional, and com ' within the category spo ken of by tho Father of bis Country, as inimical to tho peretuatiou of our liberties. Will tho gentleman bo kind enough to tell us tho prominent statesmen that par ticipated iu tho Philadelphia Couveutiou from Kentucky and Maryland. Mr. Re publican sets himself up against tho Dred Scott decision. It is refreshing that iu these days of cuarehy and lawlessness to know that we have a man iu our midst superior to the Supremo Court,tho decision of thb august body, who are, (or were) the legal expounders of tho Constitution may in all future time beiguored,seeing thoy have been set aside by such profound abil ity. How quick theso small fish fall iu tho wake of their leaders as soon as "Grow (their present speaker) speaks of tho Judges as a set of old granules." Wo hear a perfect howl from all tho small fry, in regard to the ''Missoui Comuromise." Who introduced the bill for its repeal? Mr. Douglas a Norilum man. It was repealed by votes North and South. Was that sectionul I If this were sufficient ox cuso for tho formation of your sectional party, why in the name of common hones ty did not tho leaders of your patty go in for tho "Crit'cmlcn Omipiomhe," and have it engrafted in tho Constitution, and thus havo takon tho subject out of Con gress ? The reason I suppose is his party based upon tho idea of aboliUu.i in all tho common domaiu, equality of the North and South Jin tho territories would have been tho death knell to tho Chicago l'ht- form, that being paramount to the inter est of tho whole country, now bleeding at every pore. His referenco to Southern statesmen amounts to nothing, Look nttlwir whole lives. How sensitive they wero when the North interfered nith their domestic insti tutions. J hero is no doubt had it not been for the Abolitiou societies, underground railroad, and negro concealers, somo of tho Hordcr States, ere this, would havo freed their slaves. Hut the idea of ono section dictating to tho other what thoy may do, and what thoy may not do ; what kind of property thoy shall tako into tho Territor ies, is what has contributed a full share to our troubles. Theso aro tho men that corao in for their portion of the infamy tho gentleman speaks of in conclusion, as pirates, &o., ko. I havo littlo sympathy with radicals, North or South, but still believo amid all this unnatural strife thero is solid men North and South, if a Con tention wero called, who yet might bring order out of chaos, 1 BACK TOWNSHIPS Culumhin Dnimrnrf SATURDAY MORNING, AUGUST 17. 1861 Froo Speech. We commend tho following to thoso Re publicans who, just now, think it an awful , thing for a man to speak out his sentiments unless thoy happen to chitno in with the I entire policy of ''Old Abe." Tho extract , is from tho messago of Gov. Andrew of M.-.Machusctts, to tho Legislature a fow weeks sinco : "Let us never under any conceivable 1 circumstances of provocation or indigna j lion forgut tho right of frco discussion of all publio question: is guaranteed to every individual on tho Massachusetts soil, by tho settled couictiou of her people, by,thc habits of her successive generations, and by express provisions of her constitution. J And let us therefore never seek to repress the criticims of minority, however small, ' upon tho character and conduct of any uJininhiiation whether STATE or NA- 'HU.NAL." Tlio Right Talk. The Bcston Journal, a republican pa per, duly appreciates tho position of the Democracy at this time, and does justice to their motives. It says : Wo aro proud to acknowledge tho pa triotio iutrepudity of our Democratic breth ren iu this crisis, and we shall consciously do nothing to diminish o discourage it. We know well their position. They arc for tho country, for tho Union, and there fore for tho Government and in all prac tical duties they are ith u3 and of us. Hut when time renews the opportunity for indulgence of paity conflicts, thoy will still bo Democrats : and if on tli-ih nv,.n., they should tako up tho broken link of controversy, it would bo all right. We should expect Republicans to bo held to stikt aeeouutubility tor their u?a of power in tho meanwhile, and should join issuo thereon. Rut not now tho waiver is ! complete on all side?. One all prevailing i spirit mauea r.3 a unit iu tlio Ucteneo ot , the Governmoi.t and tho discomfiture of i iti assailants. Tho latter behold now . what perhaps thoy did not anticipate. , eighteen millions of people rising without la tllOUL'ht of liartv. :lld with tlin nnlw thought of their country." Tho Corvin Anionclmont. At tho last session of Congress, Mr. Corwin, of Ohio, proposed tho following amendment to the Constitution : Art. 13. No amendment shall bo made to the Constitution which will au thorize, or give to Coii"rcs3 the power to uuuiiau ur iu juiiTiure wituiu any otate with the domestic institutions, thereof, in cluding that of persons held to labor or service by tlio laws of said Stato. This was adopted hy both Houses, and ordered to be submitted to tho several State Legislatures for their approval. Mr. Lincoln, in his inaugural address, ex' pressed his approval of it and advised its ratification. It has been ratified by only one legislature in which the Republicans havo a majority, viz : Ohio. It was adop ted in Rhode Island, but thero Republican ism is in the minority. Hut in New York, Pennsylvania, Maine, Massachusetts, Con necticut, New Hampshire, Vermont, and other States whoso legislatures have been in session, it has failed. The Republicans ! are uuvilling to say that they not use their accidental power in Congress to abol ish slavery. m-r&t Doath of Hon. W. II. Dimmick. We regret to observe an account of tho Death of tho Hon. W. II. Dimmick, who died at his rcaideuco in Honcsdalo, Pa, on tho JMli ult. Mr. Dimmick was about dO ycnr3 of ago, and a man of irreproachable political and personal integrity. Ho represented his district in tho last and preceding Con gress. His health has been fceblo for somo timo past, and his death will bo deeply regretted. He was an earnest and sinocro Demo- i crat, one of the few who adhered to tha true principles of the party, cvon to the day of his death. Wo oan ill afford to spare him. A Question Settled. It is stated that a very knotty queetion has just been decided by military lawyers. Several vol nutecrcavalry meu having lost their hor ses in tho field, ono or two colonels thought thero was nothing to bo dono but to mount tho men anew on horses from tho Govern incnt stables. Thoy were wrong. Accor ding to tho original regulations, cvory vol unteer regiment of cavalry was formerly required not only to provido their own hor ses, but keep the slates always supplied A regiment of 1,000 mounted men chould havo 1,100 honej for tho saddle. SATURDAY, AUGUST 17, 186L Senator Poinoroy. Among tho Washington dispatches to tho New York Tribune of tho 17th, wo find tho following : "Senator Pomcroy's bill for the sup pression of the slaveholders' rebellion, on nets that Slavery bo immediately abolished by proclamation, and tho army officers di rected to protect, and authorized to use, tho emancipated Blaves." Wo aro proud lhat Kansas has taken tho initiative in a measure which is sure ultimately to triumph as it is certain that the day will conic when tho sun will not rise upon a master nor set upon a slave. Senator Pomcroy's bill strikes at the foundation of all our national difficulties, and he is the only man in Congress who has had the courngo to meet tho question openly and fairly. While tho people are laughing at this bill and cencuring its author, the irre3i.sti bio logic of events will sweep down jeers and sneers and proclaim Freedom Nation al. It will be enacted by tho Army and tho People beforo it has passed to its third reading iu the Senate. Leave niaoith Con servative. It is daily becoming moro and more palpable that the above expresses tho real object of this war so far a3 it is pushed on hy tho Republican party. Their cvory act and declaration proves it, and we may therefore understand why every effort on the part of tho Democrats to stop this ond less effusion of blood and untold millions of expenditure, is mot by shouts of con tempt and derision, There is no longer any disguise in this matter, as a Hill passed Congress on Saturday very similar to that' spoken of above, introduced by Pomcroy, the big medicant Senator from Kausas. I Choose ye therefore tho pait you will , boar in this new phase the war is to tako. When such orders issue, from W ashiugtou Con. McClellau will bo superceded by Gen. Hanks, tho "Union slider," and va rious other strange scenes will bo exhibi ted iu the Army. Hvcry step pursued seems to bo two steps back, as to any prospects of an ond to our eiil war. Sunday Battles. It is an astonishing historical fact (which we recently heard an eloquent minister im pressively dwell upon) that in almost every great battle fought on the Lord's Day, the attacking parly hai been liifculed! That of ManassasH, on Sunday lat, adds anoth er deplorable instanco to this li.'t of won derful and seemingly Providential facts. J'xclutvge, When Count Lomanoski, who had served with Napoleon iu all his wars, lact-1 tired in this placo, soveral yoar3 ago, wo remember him stating in his lecturo that Sunday Rattles always remlted to the dis comfiture of tho attacking party. He in stanced, wo think, somo twenty-six promi-1 nent battles, fought on suuday, in which tho attacking party wero defeated. If thoro is a timo in the history of a nation, j more than all other times, when its rulers , should "fear God and keep his Com-! mandments," it is during tho prcvalcneo of civil war tho most cruel, horrible and ; sinful of all wars. Tho desecration of tho Lord's Day, by our Army, we must not flatter ourselves will go unavenged, for an authority that wo dare not disputo hath' said, "the Lord hath sworn by his right hand, and by tho arm of his strength, that tho nation and the kingdom that will not. servo him shall pciUh, and be wasted with desolation.'' Thero is a needless desecra tion of tho Lord's Day by our Army, and for all such transgressions retribution will as surely follow as that night follows day. Valley Spint. A Fow Plain Questions. To which the Public arc wailing for an Answer. It is said that tho panio on Sunday or iginated in tho teamsters, who wero out of place. Tho Publio asks who placed them thero 1 That tho panio was aggravated by tho alarms of a gallery of civilians, present to sco tho show. Tho Publio asks Who gave thcra the passes ? That many of our officers wero appoint ed to commands with which they wero wholly unacquainted. Tho Publio asks who is responsible ? That ignorant civilians wore placed iu commands which thoy disgraced, Tho Publio asks who appointed them? That tho senseless objurgations of tho Ttilunt led to a prcmaturo attack. Tho Publio asks who ii so weak as to bo influoncod by Greolcy t In a word, evil does not do itself some one i3 to blamo for it i and tho American people demand to know whoso short com niings havo lad to their disgrace. Philadelphia In'juirtr. Has tho Frosidont Acted Law fully. To the Miter of lie .Yea York 7iiwie: Sin : Tho following question has late ly been asked in the hearing of tho writer, by men who aro Republicans, and daily readers of your paper : "If tho President has abided by tho Constitution, why it is necessary to legal ize his action ?" And I confess tho query has been raised in my own mind, if Mr. Lincoln has acted legally, how can his ao tion3 bo legalized ? Of what use is Sena tor Wilson's bill to "ratify and confirm" thoso actions? For the benefit of all doubting ones, you will please answer this question, and show us that your Presi dent has not "porjurcp himself," as somo affirm ? W. F. KoMElt. Ploasantvillo, July 0, 1801. It is not remarkable that even Republi cans should begin to ask questions. The Times very naturally suggosts a good many grave questions, and thoy must be satis factorily answo.cd. Mr. Greeley very coolly and rather curtly replies : "Ansicrr Wo did not suppose any ono doubted that, in calling out and arming Three Hundred Thousand militia, and ordering an increase of tho regular Army, tho President, anticipating tho nsscnt of Congress, has dono what has no legal va lidity if such absent bo withhold." If tho President "anticipated" Congres sional action why did he not call Congress together at au earlier day ? Ha violated the Constitution and his oath, and kept Congress away long enough to mako an excuso for tho necessity. On the sumo parity of reasoning ho could dispense with Cougrcss altogether, assumo Dictatoral Robes, and oooly answer us that tho ne cessities of the country require it. And is not thai emergency being prepared for us as fast as possible 1 Senator Haker of Oregon, in defending the Prcsidont, ex pressed his favorable opinions of a Dicta torship 1 How many moro Senators aro not ready to follow so sublime a Roman precedent ?

Such men will of courco rojoico at every assumption of unconstitutional power that Lincoln may perform, as well a3 all the barbaric accompaniments. CfiyThcro has been stirring times in Harrisburg for somo weeks, and much complaint of the modo in which the pay ing of the three months men has been con ducted. Many of the soldiers starving and naked wero kept waiting for days by reason of the dilatanness of tho Paymas ter. They aro yet getting along slowly. The sum required, to pay a regiment, officers included, for theco months' service is not far short of ? 10,000.

SnAMErui, Treatment. The neglect and bad treatment that onr three months' volunteers havo suffered from tho Govern ment sineo they left tho eoat of war, havo been so froelv commented nnnn An. ring tho last week, by tho bravo soldiers themselves, that no ono oan doubt tho ro ality of their complaints. Tho following Appeal to the President, from a returned v oiuntccr, winch appeared in tho Reading Times of Wednesday, tells tho nholnotnr in a few words, but very forcibly. As tho signature shows it to como from ono of tho i resident s own party, its publication can not bo ascribed to a desire for political of feet: TO THE ME9IDB.NTOI' THE UNITED STATE3 Sir : When thero o "b ment on tho part of your subordinates. vnn should find timo to attend to it, and apply the remedy. Aro you awaro how shamefnllv (tm troops from this Stato, recentlv mnslnri.fi out of scrvico from Harper's Ferry, havo been treated that most of them have boon lying about over sinco, without pay, and taat the pay many of them have received is shin-plasters that gallant soldievs aro beggars in tho streets without money to pay for a night's lodging, or a meal's vict ualsthat they cannot visit their families until paid that officers havo paid tho ex penses of their men home and back again that thoy may receive their nav ?

The Income Tax Hill. Tho new Income tax bill, latoly passed hy Congress, seems to bo imperfectly understood. Many people aro under tho impression that per sons whoso income is over 300 aro not to be taxed at all, while thoso over 300 aro to bo taxed the full amount. This U . mistake. It is only the surplus over 300 that is to bo taxed 3 per cent, In addi tion to tho deduction of 300 from tho in come, all the Stato, County, School and Borough or township taxes aro also to bo taken off and then the 3 per cent is put on tho balance. So that a man whoso in come ii S1000 a year, will havo to pay 3 per cent on 700, less tho amount of hia local taxes. This bill goes into effect Jan uary 1, 1602. Strumous or scrofulous affections aro tho curse, the blight, tho potato rot of man- kind. They aro vilo and filthy as well as fatal.
