NotliwitLstandiu I ltaiut writ much for

On the coutry (,I still live," which words
was spoken by Daniel Webster, who was a
able man. Even tho old lino whigs of
Roston will admit that. Webster is ded
now, bowsovcr, and his mantle has piobly
fallen into the hands of some dealer iu -ml
hand close, who can't sell it. Leastways
nobody pears to bo goiu round wearin it
to any particlcr extent, now days. Tho
regiment of whom 1 was kurnol finerly
concluded thoy was better adapted as Homo
Cards, which accounts for you not hcarin
of me, ere this, where the hauls is tho
thickest and the canuou doth roar. Rut
as an American citizen I shall never cease
to admire tho masterly advance our troops
made on Washington from Hull Run, a
short tinioa"o. It was well dun. 1 spoke
lo my wife bout it at the time. 3Iy wife
scd it was well duu.
It bavin there l bin determined to por
ted Raldinsville at all hazzurds, and as
there was no apprehenshun of any immejit
danger, I thought I would go orf onto a
pleasure tower. Aceordiuly I put on a
clean Riled Shirt and started for Wash
ington, I went thero to sec tho Prints
Napoleon, and not to see tho placo which
I will hero take occasion to obsarvo is
about as uniutcrestin a locality as there is
this side of J. Davis s futuro homo, if hu
over docs die, and whero I rccon thoy 'II
make it so warm for him that he will si
for his .milliner close. It is easy cnuiY to
see why a man goes to tho poor houso or
the penitentiary. It's becaws ho can't
help it. Rut why ho should woluntarily
go and livo in Washington is iutirely be
yond my comprehension, and I can t say
no fairer nor that.
I put up to a leadin hotel. I saw tho
landlord aud sed, "how d yo do Squaro?"
"Pil'ty cents, sir," was his reply,
"Sir?"
"Half a-dollar. Wo charge twenty-fivo
cents for hokm ut tho landlord aud fifty
cents for fpcakin to him. If you want
supper, a boy will show you to tho dinin
room for twenty fivo cents. Vour room
bcin tho tenth story, it will cost you a dol
lar to bo shown up there."
"How much do you ax a man for
breathin iu this equinomical tavurnl"
sod t.
"Ten cents a breth," was tho reply.
Washincton hotels are very rcaoni
iu their oharges. N. U. This is Sar-kassum.
I sent up my kcord to tho Prints, and
was immcjitly ushered before him. Ho
received mo kindly and nxed mo to sit
down.
"I hav cum to pay my rospecks to you,
Mister Napoleon, hopin I see you halo and
harty."
"I am fpuito well," ho scd. "Air you

Lewis a good provider? did he cum home

Did he go to tho "Lodge" on nitcs when

He scd ho did t mean to aboosso tho

see that I was interested iu tho Ronypart

"Napoleon tho Grand. Tho Rritialicrs

Correspondence.
For the Columbia Democrat.
Reply to Mr. Republican.
Mr. Republican starts out in Lis last
issue with tho idea that Thomas Jefferson
held tho samo views in regard to emanci
pation that Helper docs, (excuso mo, Mr.
Editor, for mentioning their names in con
nection) for I consider it an insult to tho
memory of tho illustrious founder of tho
Democratic party, to bs spoken of in the
samo sentence with tho author of that sec-,
tional incendiary work, which tries to make
a white man out of an Jljrican Negro j
tho gentleman certainly cannot accuse mo
of quoting isolated cases, for nearly all of
tho leaders of his party endorsed and ro-
commended it, together with his own sane
tion. that there was nothing in the work
but what ho had a perfect rii-ht to publish.
in religion, no recognition of pro-slavery
men except as ruffians, outlaws, and crimi
nals." Now, is not this an outrage, a lie
of tho deepest die, to chargo such men as
Washington, Jefferson, Madison and oth
ers who were the founders of our Govern
ment, with such contcmptiblo epithets.
Now sec the position of Mr. Republican.
Ho says Helper had a perfect right to
publish this. In his last ho says the press
has no constitutional right to lie. Now
chose cither horn of the dilemma. His
reference to tho influence of Abolitionism
in separating religious bodies is extremely
smart ; bo wishes to know if tho people
were prevented from worshiping as they
pleased in any Stato where Republicans
made or executed tho laws ; why my dear
sir, I thought wo lived in a country whore
Church and Stato were separate. This
separation of our loading churches was
not the result of any Legislation, Stato or
National, but there is no doubt but it had
something to do in embittering the sections
and contributed largely to produce the
present awful calamity that is now upon
us. This religious enthusiasm assisted
largely to form and make up tho Republi
can party, for the institutions of tho South
wcro rediculcd from tho pulpit as well as
the stump. It was said by your orators
that tho South had always been a burden
to us, and that Massachusetts could not
mako boots enough to kiok them out of tho
Union. Such stuff, together with wide
awake demonstrations, &a., Sec, carried
your party into power. Your men said
all tho time thoy asked but ono year in
power to show that their principles were
right ; free homes for the homeless ; the
milleuium was now within our reach;
elect Republicans and all is well. We
must have a change, was tho cry ; well
wo have a change, that ehango I will not
undertake to dc-cribo. I doubt if my
friend, with all the superior knowledge ho
has reserved "from tho author of all
good,'- (which enabled him to know more
than the Supremo Court) can depict tho
horrors and miseries of our couutry from
Maine to Loui-ianna. How drowning men
will catch at straws. 11c refers to a few
scattering votes Lincoln received in the
South, to show he was not sectional. How
could they possibly vote for him when tho
party was built up upon the very principle
of no more Slave Territory, thus endeav
oring to force them from tho common
domain, which if left as tho democratio
party platform had it, wo could have vo
ted slavery out of tho Territories upon
tlicir admission as States, aud saved tho
country from blood and carnage, for upon
,(,! priuciplo of equality in tho Territories
, kinridgo, Virginia and Tennessee I thiuk
were for Bell, aud many of tho other
States were very close. Who are Me
Clcllan, Dix, Butler, aud other lcadiug
Generals but good souud Democrats ?
They do not fight for subjugation or Abo
litiouisui, or for carrying out tho principles

ment. Tho Administration begiug to ap
preciate this in restricting Frecmont's
Proclamation. I am glad to sco my
friend ignore knownotbingism, for ho says
ho has left it, but still holds on to his sec
tionalism. Ho is not awaro that his parly
aro not known by the name Republican.'
rv ni,,r nwn nanor. it states thero
was no Republican Convention this fall,
and what did your Fugiou parly do (as
General Fleming oalls it) in Columbia
fotint?? .Out -of the seven ofBcn to
filled you nominated ono Republican I !
and that for tho most unimportant office.
So, according to arithmetic that would
lcavo you about ono-scventh of a Republi
can party. That is falling off pretty fast.
Ho says thero are some things he with
holds, for fear, I suppose, of wounding tho
feelings of tho Democracy. Let it out,
wo arc not afraid of tho light. Tho De
mocratio party was not spawned in a cellar
or garret, whero the Irish ami German
catholics were considered as bad as So
ccssionists now arc. Tho gentleman speaks
about blushing; if ho -is not devoid of
shame, whon ho looks at our Army ho may
well hido himself under tho garb of union
ism. Look at tho sixty-ninth Regiment,
all Catholics. Tho men that had arms
concealed lo ruin our country according
to knownothiogisrn. But there is no uso
in speaking of dead carcasses, as Repub
licanism aud Knownothingisra have died
out according to their own showing. In
looking over tho whole field the signs aro
encouraging; their papers and leading
men begin to ignore mobs and tho sup.
iiiessiuu oi presses, it wouiu no well cnougu
for our fiicnd to read Jefferson on tho
freedom of the press. As wo are now
getting tho sectional party of tho North
around upou union ground, all wo want is
to encourage the Union men of the South,
aud then wo will be ablo to drive both
extremes to tho well, and our glorious old
flag with all the stars on will onco moro
float over a united and happy people.
This sudden transition of Sectionalism lo
Unionism in tho North, together with
Liucoln's abridgement of Frcemont's Proc
lamation, must produce tho most satulary
results in tho South. Our friend still
seems to cling to Sectionalism. Coino
along with us, we will do thee good ; it is
not tho Uhicago Platlorm but the Govern
ment wo must perpetuate.
RACK TOWNSHIP.
For the Columbia Dtmttrat,
Mn. Editor,
Sir ; In looking over and reflec
ting on the many misrepresentations that
have been thrown broad cast over tho
country, upon tho citizens of Fisbingcrcek
and tho other back townships of Columbia
county, I cannot forbear to notico how
grossly tho inhabitants of those Townships
have been insulted. Tho citizens, or a
majority of them have been put down as
traitors and secessionists. But as actions
speak loudor than words, I will present to
your readers tho position of a would bo
clergyman, the self constituted Captain of
tho Home Guards, whoso zeal and patriot
ism has never becu apparent to any ono
but himself. Ho paraded his company
day and night and sang union songs to a
dis-union chorus. When tho company
wa- fully formed thoy called themselves
tho " Anderson Guards," but they aro now
known as tho " John Brown Reserves,"
which should be their proper narao, " For
a noted writer has well said that whero
God sets up a houio of prayer tho devil
always builds a chapel thero!" This
brave clergyman took a vote of his com
pany at two or three several times to know
whether they wcro willing to go to tho war
or not, and they always voted, aye 1 but
never went. Rut tho bravo patriot of tho
north, this Noble Captain, determined that
if ho could fiot go to the army and fight,
ho would go aud pray, aud leave the com
pany, which have got ashamed of him,
with which ho had figured at pio-nicks and
donation parties at home. So on Sunday,
amid tears and expostulations, he said to
them that ho would go to tho army cither
ns chaplain or boot-blaok ; what a pity
they did not take him for tho latter 1 In
this latter capacity ho might have put
down rebellion by making their boots shino
so brightly that they could not fight. If
this Noble Captain was as much a patriot
as he is an abolitionist, ho might bo of
somo servico to his county, but as it is "ho
is one who is trying to steal the livery of
tho court of heaven to serve the devil in,"
and as in Ava none but priests dare trado
in that best marbles of whioh God's aro
made, so this man would forbid each and
every man from being a republican unless
ho subscribes to abolition doctrine.
