.t&" Mean tfoTHE LAST ''Thomas'
Dwln," last week," most unexpectedly,:
found himself engulfed in a peculiar sit-1
uation with his own loyal friends. IDj
their efforts to raiso funds to fill the quota,
Thomas held back and refused to como to
time, until sorao twenty-fivo of his sub-
scribors threatened to discontinuo their
papers and hinted at gulting his ofiioo,
when Thomas said, Don't shoot, I'll como
down. Alas '. poor Shoddy,
JCf Wo aro not astonished, that at
about this tinio in the approaohing politi
cal campaign, tho whole batch of disloyal
abolition disunion smutty organs in tho
shoddy interest of tho war thieves and
robbors including tho vciitablo Smut
Macbino, Record of the Times, Sunbury
American, Danvillo Amorican, Munoy
Luminary, Dushore Union, &o., should
opon thoir batteries upon tho "Columbia
Dbmooiiat." Trees are always most
olubbod that bear tho toast Fruit. Lying
and misrepresentation of Democratic mon
and prinoiples is the legitimate business of
these ours and certain scroaohing pfesoh
era, but when any or all of them charge
us with cvor having counselled tha viola
tion of law or resistance to tho draft, wo
denounce thorn unqualifiedly as malicious
falsifiers of the truth.
To Whom it May Concern
Mr. Wickliffo, of Kontuoky, said thai
tUo delegates from tho West wora of tbo
opinion that oircumstanccs may oocur bo-
tween noon to day and tho 4th of March j
noxt, whioh will mako it proper for tho ,
Domooracy of tho country to moot In con-1
ventlon again. Ho thoroforo moved tho Susquehanna, dechued tho honor of ado
lollowiug resolution, which was unani-oat, by Mr. Dcnifon, and leaven Mr.
inoucly adopted :
Hcsolvcd, That this Convention shall
not bo dissolvod by adjournment at tho
close of its basiuoss, but shall remain or
ganized, subjeot to bo called at any titno
und plnco tliat iho Executive National
Committee shall designate.
This resolution of the Chicago Conven
tion, to hold itself en permanence, gives
some uaoasiuess to tho Liucoluitcs, Some
of thorn regard it as j'tho most revolution
ary step yet taken." Others aro at a loss
to know what it means, and anxiously on
quiro what occasion thero oan be for such a
resolution, tho candidates of tho Demo
cratic party being nominated and tho plat
form adopted, Perhaps a careful pcrsual
of the following resolution, adopted by the
Convention, will assist our "loyal' friends
iu solving the problem that seems to puz
zle them so distressingly :
ilcsolvcd, That tho direct interference
of tho military authority of tho United
States iu the recent elections held in Ken
tucky, Maryland, Missouri and Delaware
Was a shamclul violation of the Ootislitu
tion, and a rrpoiitiou of such aots in tha
approaching election will bo held an revolu
tionary, and resisted ivitli all the means
ana power under our control.

of the People of tho North, in putting in

CLELLAN.
Lot tho flags float merrily from tho

Let tho people exchangu congratulations.
It is a grand day for tho Republic. Even
handed justice has at last fulfilled its mis
sion. The bravo officer, the ohristian
gentleman, tho sound patriot, the wise
thinker, who has so long been recklessly
persecuted and villificd, has been taken up
by tho great masses, and will bo put in

who availed himself of his official station

In its panic at the prospect of bung de.
foatod, tho iidininisfr.ition has determined
to throw the poor uero overboard. As
an evidence of this eh tnije of basf.we nil
the nttoiitiou of our readers to the to
very remarkable letters from Forney and
Dawson which wo give herewith. Tboo
two office-holders wr'ne from Washington
after having been in consultation with tho
heads of the party and with Mr. Lincoln
hiuiidf, and they say that the ci-mcst
hereafter W not to bo for tbo abolition uni-
ty. lioth ol the-o worthies declare, in eo
many words, that tbo emancipation proe-
tarnation is a mere "glittering generality,"
and never meant anything in pinicular-
that they aie very willing to l derate Ma
very if thi'j can only get tho Union ba. k,
and Forney comus out llst-fodud for a con
ventioti of the States lo settle the ponding
difiicultj between the North uud tho
South.
All this is a woeful fa ling off from tlio
high-prc.-Siiro abolition programme of hut
a few week's past. " It is even claimed by
Forney that Mr. Gtcelcy is willing lo guu
up his ebony idol and acoopt a Union with
slave-holders He this as it may, it is ve"
ry clear that tho lvepuolican le iders, in
their desperation at tho course of the Pies-
idential canvass, aro will ng that thc conn-
try should boliovo that tbey oaro nothing

lor abolition and everything for thc Union.
Of course, this is all fudge.
