Columbia Democratic Coureutiou. Tho proceedings of tho Columbia County Democratic Convention, held on last Mon- day at Bloomsburg, appear in full in this " Columbia Democrat."

May such ever be man'.,save' rerhaPs 1Iorac0 Qrccly, has tho record of the great Democratic Party i contnbuted so largely to hasten our Na of Columbia I t'ona' ru'n" 'iaa Deon fr tH0 last far m ' years, in close communion with tho Abo- Tho Democracy Firm. u.l, leader3' wLo ,hav0 bccynsascd in 'plotting treason, and heaping slander upon Wc had many opportunities, last week, head3 rf ouf safcst aD(1 beJt ofconvsrsing with Democrats from all , rf part3 of the county, and found but one de termination to exiit among them to stand by their old time-tried principles and or ganization. Thoy "see through" the "trap" tet by the Ilepullican leaders, and will not bo gulled into it. They know and feel that tho Democratic party has always been tho true Union party always "right on tho record"-always for the country and its sacred constitution. So convinced, they sec no reason why their party should bo abandoned, but havo every reason for adhering to and preserving it. If tho Op position, in their weakness, find it ncccsary to chango their name, they have tho right to do so, but that is no argument for Dem ocrats to follow them, Tho Dumocracy were, a few months ago, derisively styled "U.MON-savers." They aro willing to wear that name, now and hereafter. Their flag is and a. tho country. always have bcon tho flag of Atrocious Sentiment. Tho Philadelphia Inquirer a. Rcpubli can organ in its attempt to justify tlio attacks upon the Dcniocratio printing presses throughout tho country, lias tho following editorial sentiment in its issue of Wednesday last : " Heing in a stato of war, ire must adopt tho lloman maxim and set asulc the laics WHICH CONTEMPLATE ONLY THE CONDITIONS OF PEACE." Set asido tho laws, because they are not intended to have any binding effect in time of war. They wcro only enacted for a timo of peace. This is tho atrocious doc trino inculcated by a newspaper making somo pretentions to respectability ! It is enough to make every law-abiding citizen start back with horror from tho tcrriblo nbyss to which wo aro rapidly drifting.' What I No law, but mob law, in timo of war no person to bo safe in his person or property 1 Is this tho cntcrtainmoiit to which frco American citizens arc invited by the organs of tho party now in power ! Tho protection of all law to bo taken off. nnd the wildest anarchy and confusion and bloodshed to rulo supremo! May kind Heaven avert tho frightful catastropho which seems to bo rapidly approaching. The Democracy. The New York Timet, a Republican print, tells tho following truth : "It would havo been casy,pcrhaps,for the democratic masses of the frco States to haVO OYCrtbrOWU tliO COTCrDDlCDt and per ,, j ri it t .. - r. mancntlv dlSSOVCrcd tho Union, by TClUS j.hey iovcu tneir country moro man party and In Mr. Lincoln they .saw, not tho sue. ccisful partisan oandidatc, but the consti tutional President of tho United States. And, therefore, they supportcd-not grudg ingly, but heartily as earnestly and zeal ously, in fact, as if had been their own party leader in tho cauvasd that preceded his election." We commend this to our rabid partizan friends who insist npon reviving the wasted issues of the past, and in the very midst of a desultory war, clutching for the spoils of offico with as much avidity as if wc were in the midst of prosperity and peace. If President Lincoln believes the abovo ex tract let him practice upon it.

Bir.r.MEVEn- The Democratic Convention. j Every district was fully represented in tho Dcniocratio Convention on Monday, and although much personal prefcreno existed in regard to candidates, wo never know a political body to bo so entirely unanimous in its general purposes, nor ouo to pass off so entirely satisfactory to all interested. The candidates nomiuatcd are eminent ly worthy, whether as citizens, Dnmocrats, or business men, and will rcccivo tho en thusiastic support of every genuino Demo crat. The nominations, though conducted in several instances with much spirit, were all fairly an honornbly mado. Tho reso lutions speak tho sentiments of tho parly in this county, and are eminently national and patriotic. Indeed wo do not see how any fair man can find fault with any thing that was done. Assembly Co. L. L. Tati: received tho nomination of this county, over his op ponent, John A. Funston, for this impor tant and honcrablo position. Wo have no doubt that the other counties composing the District will concur in this nomination. This county is entitled to ono Member and Wyoming the other. Tho person presented by this county is known as a man of ago and experience, and if nomina ted by tho Representative Confercnco his election is a forcgono conclusion. Sheriff Vor this office the Democracy of Columbia saw proper to nominate Jo SIAH H. Fuiiman a very worthy gentle man, indeed : and withal a sound demo cratic Union man. Ho is satisfied with the Constitution as it is written, nnd is willing to sustain tho administration in all Constitutional mcasurs. Mr. F. docs not enjoy the acquaintauco of the pcoplo of Columbia county to as largo an extent as the balance of tho ticket, but wo will ven turc to say this much for him, that there is not a moro pleasing, honorahlo, worthy and honest man upon the tiokct than the person in question, and if clcctod, (we will vouoh tho assertion) will make a most cap ital officer.

Tho successful ones wcro John MeRKV.oLDS,of Hemlock, and Stephen Baldt, of Cattawissa. They were chosen on tho first ballot, over their opponents, Evans and Mack.

Since the elevation of Mr. Jkfi'kiison to the Presi dency sixty years ago, to the present time these rights havo never been assailed ; but now a second " Roign of Terror," more odious than tho first, has been inaugurated, and every man who presumes to speak or write or publish aniUnrig in opposition to tho " powers that be" is hunted down as a traitor, and' his life and property placed iu jeopardy.

Tho Democracy hero and every where I elso throughout the frco States havo op posed tlio heresy ot secession and stood by by tho Constitution and tho Union, and will do so to the end of this unnatural and suicidal war- Nay moro, thoy havo nobly volunteered by tens and hundreds of thousands to defend tho flag of our com mon country, and to save tho Union from tbo bands of tho spoiler; and they tcill continue to do so as long as the tear shall last. But they will no longer tamely sub mit to the threats and indignities of a viru lent and usprincipled political foo, whoso ill-gotten power has mado them insolent and overbearing in the highest degree. The Republican leaders aro evidently bent on inaugurating a civil war in our midst. They are not satisfied with tho war fur tho Union, now being waged by onr gallant troops, and which may tako years to bring to a successful issue ; bnt they must needs produce violence nnd bloodshed hero nt home, where all ought to bo union and harmony in defence of our time-honored institutions. It therefore becomes the De mocracy to bucklo on their armor and prepare to defend their rights at all haz ards, not as aggressors, but as defenders of Constitutional law, order nnd civil lib erty. In no instance should thoy com menco tho conflict ; but, if attacked, thoy should not merely defend themselves, their families and property from violence, but likowiso retaliate by " carrying tho war into Africa" and giving their black-hearted enemies their fill of it. Our motto is PEACF, LAW OIIDISB. ; but no in sultno personal or unprovoked attack no reign of terror should for ono moment be tolerated by any true-hoartcd Democrat and lover of his country. Wo repeat, let us ono and all bo determined that, knowing our rights, wo daro and will maintain thorn at any anU overy hazard. BQ-Tho Pottsvillo Standard says : "Wo utter what wo know to bo tho prevailing sentiment among tho Domocraoy of Penn sylvania when wo counsel them to stand by their organization in a spirit of patri otic devotion to the Constitution and Union. Show our rulers that whilst Democrats wiill sustain tho Government, thevwill not endorso Republican misdeeds. Let the' despised 'Union-savers' rally to tho do. fence of the Constitution, nominato can didates for tho Legislature, as well as for tho other offices, and tho pcoplo are ready to conio to their support." Shall wo havo Poaeo P Tho present deplorable situation of our country is truly alarming, and should ex cito every man to notion who is capablo of originating a single human reflection. Notwithstanding our boasted intclligenro as n pcoplo, says tho Cttarfitld liepubli' can, no man can fail to seo that our wit- ..-tl.t I l t'lil . - ... troubles, and that wo aro fast drifting into , , . , , , a tOUndlCSS SCft of confusion and anaf chy. Do our pCOplo forget that this boasted in tclligenco can do them no good as long at they refuse to excrciso this advantage, thsy possess by means of this intelligent I Do they forget that virtue is not hereditary, and that national folly often usurps tho placo of national wisdom T Wo assume that, setting asido n c:rtia class of mad-caps and fanatics both North and South, all tho rest of tho American psoplo havo or had but a fow months ago but ono national hopo and object, via tho preservation of tho Union, tho Consti tution, our present form of representative government, anil tho perfect equality of tho several States. That all theso bless ings nro now in most imminent danger of destruction, cannot bo denied. Havo our public rulers mado uso of tho proper efforts to avert this threatened ruin I Boforo s nation takes up tho sword it is bound to exert every effort to effect a peaceful set tlement of tho matters in di.iputr. If it fails to do so a just God will hold suoh nation responsible for all the horrors of tho war thus rashly commenced. Have wo ns a nation exhausted all tho means at our command to effect a peaceful settle ment with tho Southern States! Were thero not somo things left undone, that should have been dono, to effoct a recon ciliati on, before wo put on tho habiliment of war ? Are tve now doing that which u required of us as a God-fearing and God. adoring people, to stay Oujlow of fraternal Llo xl ! Wo aro aware that it will b answered, that the Confederates " struck tho first blow" that tho attack npon Fort Sumter made the Secessionists tho aggressors, and justiftcd ,1 roort to war on the part of the federal government. Grant all this. Still wo should remember that this blow, and this insult, came not from a foreign nation and government, but from mistaken and niiguided members of our own household children of the same parentage with us and that whilst the parental rod of cor rection may bo properly used, no feeling of vengeance should bo harbored. Na tions, like individual-!, should not disregard tho lessons given us by our Divine Teacher on this point. Tho first great ohjoct of our government should bo l'KACC. A government that cannot live in peace with its citizens, or which is unablo to give peace to them, U worse than no government at all. We aro thereforo for peace a peace that will be ' honorable and enduring. Or, hatisg no confidonco in tho efforts now making t conquer a peaco by the sword, wo aro iu J favor of at least trying to negotiate pcae. upon Miint terms it is poissiblo to ettcd a. reconciliation, we shall not attempt to paint out. It may bo impossible. Bnt beforo we go further in this work of wido-apread and universal destruction, lit m at Itatt ascertain tits fact that reconciliation it impossible. It has been said that peace presents it self in but two forms reconciliation, or, separation. Tho former is what every patriot mutt desiro. Wo doubt its possi bility oven now ; but most inevitably a continuance of tho war will render recon ciliation still-mora impossible. Thcrsfor every man who hopes for a reconciliation and a reconstruction of tho now dissevered Union should uso his influonco to effect a cessation of hostilities until proper efforts for reconciliation aro mado. Who can sco ought elso bnt separation inevitable and final in n further proso cution of tho war ? This is now candidly admitted by somo of tho leading journals in tho advocacy of tho war, tho Chicago homo organ of President Lincoln among tho number; and that tho war must bo further prosecuted in order to demonstrate to tho world that tho South, in case ot scparation, would be tho woakor party 1 Will tho pcoplo submit lo bo taxed, nnd to have their posterity burdened with 6 national debt that will eat out their sub stance for generations to come, for a pur pose so unbecoming a christian nation ! If separation 7iiust come if thero is no other escape for us in God's name let us havo it without tho shedding of any moro blood. We know that to raiso our voice in bo half of pcaco, is to incur tho denunciation of tho " On to Richmond " brood of politico-military quacks, and perhaps tho still severer denunciation of that other class whose watchword is "no compromiso with rebels in arms." But we love our oountry moro than wo hato thoso who seek to do spiso it. Blcsiod with poaeo, a fow years will euffico to rcstoro it ns tho greatest powci on earth henco denunciation is without any terrors. War is disunion i War is final, eternal separation," said th late Sonator Douglas. If so, why continuo tbo war I A stato of pea?e cannot b'j wors, and is not one-tenth part as ox pensive. Those who opposo all efforts fus poaeo should furnish the pooplo with some good reason why tho war should bo con-, tinued. Until this is dono thoso who nro ontrustcd with tho administration of public affairs must bo held responsible as well for what is, as for what is not dono.
