If they cannot pay all, Icttliem ot least glvo ue a iarf of that to which we arc Justly entitled, In order to relieve us from our embarrassments. We think wc have been very indul gent, and therefore hope to meet w itli a ready response to what we conceive to be n reasonable request. We shall to prepared to receive our Iricnds at tho office, and fur rtlsli them promptly with receipts for wlntever amounts they may desire. Tenons at a distance, ami those re. siding out of the county, can remit by mail nt our risk. Come, frlcnfls, give us a lift without longer delay, as wo must have money to keep the old CoLumdu DkMuclUT in ruction. jgy The government is ono thing tho administration of Lincoln is another. Tho government can prosecute tho war tho administration can repeal Tariffs, suspend tho Habeas Corpus, appoint corrupt officials, and decapitate Democrats. Interesting to Desehteks. Here after all deserters from tho army arc to bo arrested by tho police or citizens, taken to Governor's Island and tried by court martial. In case n citizen captures a de serter ho will recoivo the sum of thirty dollars, which will bo deducted from tho pay of tho soldier. Every soldier who looses his gun, whether in throwing it a way on tho field of buttle, or through neg lect, is to have SIS, tho price of tho gun, deducted from his pay. BSrEsrEciAL Attention. Wc in vite tho attention of our readers to the advertisement of Messrs, Bauoii & Sons, which will bo found in another column. The farming portion of this county will do well to give their fertilizer a trial. Tho Raw Bone Super Phosphate of .Lime, is a far more valuablo manure than the ordina ry Phosphates of the day, and the Messrs. Bauoii & Sons arc tho solo manufactures. Thoo who have experimented with it pro nounce it far superior to any other ferti lizers. It improves the soil without ex hausting it, as is the caso with most other manures. From the many commendations it has received, it is undoubtedly a valu able manure. Let oar farmers try it and test iu virtues. Would not Endouse His Acts. In the closing up of Congress on the Oth inst. we find that tho Senate refused to endorse 'the action of Prosidant Lincoln in his vi olations of the Constitution. The proceed ings aro worded as follows : Washington, Aug. 0. The debate in the Senate this afternoon, upon tho reso lution endorsing all tho acts of tho Presi dent in the present war, was very anima ted and spicy. A number of the Republican Senators were willing to endorse the acts verbally, but they did not wish to appear on tho records as endorsing them ; the resolution was finally rejected. And yet Democrats are called upon, not only to sanction what Black Republi can Senators refused to do, but to throw asido patriotism, principle and self respect, and go it blind for the administration that sets aside tho Constitution whenever it suits its conveniouco. HoNisr" Abe Lincoln. President Lincoln has found himself in a great deal of trouble ever sinco ho crawled upon tho Chicago Platform. Gen. Scott says ho is a good man, if let alone intimating that ha is being used by others. Mr. Rrcck inridge said tho same thing of him the other day in the Senate, adding that ho believed him to be " honest ;'' and tho lato Senator Douglas has frequently expressed similar language. All these expressions go to show that if Mr. Lincoln is wrong it is owing either to mistaken judgement, or it is because he is not'"let alouc.'' However correct theso gentlemen may be in their opinions, Mr, Lincoln has cer tainly maintained his consistency as an ad vocate of Abolitionism and negro equality, to say nothing of secession aud disuniouisin. In his inaugural address, tho following remarkable passago occurs, which, if our system of government is as it was under stood by Alexander Hamilton, and others who assisted in framing our Constitution, is a conipleto vindication of the right of secession as claimed by tho Southern people : " This country with its instituions be long to the people who inhabit it; tMtH ever they thall groxo weary of the txhting govtmmem thoy cau exercise their con stitutional rightof amending it.OR THEIR REVOLUTIONARY ItlGIlT TO DIS MEMBER OR OVERTHROW IT." If a Democrat would use such language bo, would be called a rank secessionist, and Jeff. Davis may Bcarch all the writings of eccesEiondom aud nowhero will ho Gnd language bo useful to his present purpose.

Scott's division, nnd was breveted in 1817 for callant and meritorious conduct in tho batiks of Con trcras ami Churubusco. Ho was wounded at tho Helen Gato of tho city of Mexico, September 13,1817.

Tho latest advico from Washington indi cato that tho National capitol is not yet frco from attack by tho rebel forces ; tho state ment that thoy aro slowly moving to the line of the Potomac, with a view of enter ing Maryland, encouraging and supporting the revolutionary spirit in that State, with ultimato designs on Washington, is now repeated with increased assurance of the truth, and with such evidences as cannot be disregarded.

That "a3 t10011 trica cllcctually, and lias always had just tho contrary effect. Wo see efforts all over the country to ' day j even tho Conwiercial Advti User of j this city, now a fierce war journal, was , then a strong sympathizer with tho Rritish. Iu their efforts to put down all opposition, ' tho war party scruple at nothing, llero j '3 somo tall lying, for instance, about Tub Day-Rook from a .Michigan journal : I It, (The Day-Rook,) with a largo por- tiou ot" !ts followers, openly declared that Tr n ClC,etI" T t0 l";.Prcfl!rrcd ovcr that of Douglas, and used tho vcrv mcaus that they know would accomplish that obicct. and ns soon as it was ascertained I that Lincoln was elected, set un a howl ovcr tho election of an Abolition President, and advised tho Southern States not to submit to his administration -, and when war was inaugurated by tho attack on Fort Sumter, it camo out openly in sup port of tho rebellion, and L;i3 contiuued so to do. Now, it seems to us fairly impossible to crowd more falsehood into an equal space. Instead of declaring tho election of Lin coln prcfcruble to that of Mr. Douglas, wo supported and voted the Uuion ticket in this Stato with all our influence. We never advised tho southern States uot to so' submit to Lincoln's administration," nor have wo cvor como out "in support of tho neither authorizo nor permit any intcrfcr robellion," our position from tho first being eneo by the troops under your command against fighting on nil tides, Rut this Is . with the servants of peaceful citizons in a only a samplo of tho falsehoods told in tho house or field, nor will you in ony way North to prcjudico tho publio against this . i . I paper, como openiy nuvijo its empprcso ion by tho Postmasters, and endeavor to intimidato people who want it from taking 1 it. In one caso u postmaster appeals to ' tho Editor of a Milwaukio paper for adnco about its suppression, nnd though tho cdl tor has a very great abhorrence of The Day-Book, yet he gives the following well-digested ndvico s "It was tha opluion of Thomas Jeffer son that error might bo safely tolerated where reason was left free to combat it. Wo havo great faith in his view. Tho cir culation of this paper might bo surprosscd by forco or by law, nnd wo can think of circumstanced which would mako such supprosion necessary. But such suppres sion could accomplish no permanent good, but serve only temporary ends. If tho paper is circulated some person must want it, and permanent good can be accomplish ed only by destroying that uant. This can bo done best by circulating the anti dote for such poison, lleason nnd light only can permanently dissipate error Let oitr friend thin be active tlissemiiuUina sound dotfiins tit meet the heresies of this shut, and he will be doing all ho may do and perhaps nil he ought to do to suppress us circulation. ' Wo wonder this view of the case docs not sungest itself with forco to many oth ers. Have the Republicans lost nil faith in tho cause? Surely, what is right can never bo permanently surpressed by forco, while that which is wrou" will soon como tu naught. Men's opiuions cannot be changed by coercion, and tho attempt only usually drives them still farther the other way. Socictary Cameron to Gen Uut lor. Washington, August 11, 1801.
