Democratic Address.
We call attention to the address of the
Democratic members of Congress which
we print on the first page 01" the Star. It
pc-iats out the only means 'under Heaven
by which the country can be fared from
its present troubles and prospective ruin.
It is clearly, tersely and strongly written,
without any effort of rhetoric, but with an
evident design to present the troth In its
plainest garb. Every man of every party
should be particular to read every sentence
in t- .
The ultra Republican Press, with char
acteristic untruthfulness and desire to horn
bog when they can not meet facta and ar
guments, denounce the address as emina
tinj from "Breckinridge" members of Con
gress. I; was written by the gallant Rich
ardson of Illinois, who more than once
proved his patriotism on the battle field,
and who was for a life time the devoted
friend and companion of Judge Douglas,
and was the distinguished leader of that
statesman's friends in the Convention at
Charleston and Baltimore Nearly all the
other signers of the address were also sup
porter of Judge Douglas.
Employ Nkuroes. We bear that qnite a
number of contrabands have been sent to
Alexandria to be hired out. It is iaid that
most of the women that have come here
have gone out to work upon wages, and
some of the men also. It would seem to i
be the interest of small farmers, gardeners,
&c, to avail themselves of the cheap labor
of this class of people. A considerable
number are employed by the government
upon railroad work. Qiite a number cme

Chronicle. - ' .
Employ negroes in place of white men
and women, eh ? That is abolition advice.
"Avail ) ourselves of cheap labor." What
does the laboring while man of llie North
think of this doctrine ! Is he read)' to have
himself placed on a level with the negro 1
Employ the negroes, says the Abolitionists,
because they work cheap. What does it
matter to them that vkile men are out of em
ployment, out of money, and their families
desti'.ue they are of no consequence with
these fanatics, compared with the negro
it matters cot to them how much the white
man is enslaved and degraded so that the
negro is free. " The above extract gives as
an idea of what is contemplated by the
Abolitionists in the emancipation of slave
ike reduction of the price of labcr. How
does the white man cf the North like the
picture ?
The wickedness of Abolitionism is illus
trated in the extravagant expenditure of the
people's money to buy the negroes of the
District of Columbia, instead of appropria.
ting that money to the reliel of sick and
wounded soldiers and the destitute fami
lies of soldiers who have been killed in
the rebellion. Congress has not appropri
ated one dotlaf for the conveyance of disa
bled soldiers to their homes and families,
but 100,000 to pay the expenses of such
niggers a may wi.h to go to Hayti, Liberia
or elsewhere ! Such cursed folly under the
circumstances, is enough to make the gall
of white men overflow with bitterness.
The Aboliiion traitors in Congress who role
that body, can see nothing, hear nothing
but that which appertains to the interest of
the negro. They had better do their do
while they have the opportunity, as the
people will see that the next Congress is
composed of patriots, not abolition traitors ;
their infamous gerrymanders in re-districting
Stales for Congressional purposes, in
urder to perpetuate their power, will not
avail them, as the people have become
fully aroused to the true intentions of the
Abolitionists and their allies who sail under
the banner of political unionism. The tax
es to be collected to pay for niggers at $300
a head, will serve as eye-openers to the
most blind and infatuated devotees of Re
publicanism, end make even northern Abo
liiionists howl, while extracting thi?r hard
earned dollars to carry out the legitimate
results of their political principles, and the
good times promised, when the policy of
the Chicago Platform should prevait through
out the land.
Governor Curtin, on the pressing requi
sition of the President of the United States,
and hearing of the defeat of. Gen. Banks,
issued a proclamation, ordering the Majoi
Generals, Brigadier Generals, and Colonels
of regiinents,throughout the Commonwealth
to mus'.er, Without delay, all the military
organizations, within their respective Di
visions, and proceed, forthwith to the city
of Washington. This order, we have the
satisfaction of knowing, is being respond
ed to, and that most patriotically. The
cities of Philadelphia and HarrisCorg are
forming Companies and Regiments in good
earnest. We are pleased to ootice that the
Brigadier General of the 9ih Dirisiuri, Penn
sylvania Militia, s making efforts to gath
er up his commands, in order to proceed to
the scene of action. This is right; imme
diate action is necessary ; Washington may
properly be understood to be as much me
naced at present as she was last year this
l;r:ie.
Jons Pskw, the celebrated comedian died
in Philadelphia, -.on Wednesday afternoon
cf congestion of the brain. He was a na
tive ct Ireland, and came to this country
te.ora he had attained manhood. He mar
ried.about fourteen years ago, Mrs H. Hunt

Korl&cra Coriscrratism.
The Richmond Whig, which wasopposed
to secession until the State of Virginia join
ed the Sonthren Confederacy, thus discour
ses on Northern conservatism r
"The people of the North are divided
into two parties, in the present war, as in
the peace preceded it the conservatives
and destructives. The latter are our old en
emies. the Abolitionist, who are crazy peo
pie honest, perhaps., in their fanaticism,
butfitonjy for a uraight jacket. The for
merourold friends, who used to declare
that they loved us bet'er than themselves,
and that, before an army of invasion should
march against the South, it should march
over their dead bodies. It seems to be sup
posed that they have changed their charac
ter, and been merged by the war ip.to one
seething cauldren of Abolitionism This,
however, i t a great mistake. The war has
not changed their character but only dis
covered it to the world. It ha shown them
to be the faUest, the most treacherous, and
the most hypocritical of mankind. But for
conservative money and conservative men,
it could not be carried on a single day
Conservative cities have proviJed the cash
and the soldiers, conservative generals have
led their armies, conservatism has, in fine,
proved the most formidable of our enemies.
We are not aware of a single Abolitionist
general who occupies a conspicuous posi
tion in the Federal hosts M'Clellan, Ros
encrans and others are somewhat ultra in
their conservatism, and M'Cook who said
that if he had an Abolitionist in his army
he would cut off his ears, is the same who
proclaims, 'The South must be subdued or
exterminated.' The conservatism of these
men is still, however, conservatism, only it
does not mean, as we formerly supposed
the preservation of the Constitution and the
rights ot the Slates, but the conservatism of
Northern commerce and manufactures, at
any cost whatever to the South at the cost
of every lile and hearthstone in its limits
at the cost nf converting its whole territory
into one vast scene of blood and tears.
That is what Northern conservatism means'
and ccthing else. It is, in a word, the
most detestable avarice a love of money so
passionate and absorbing that it would mur
der a whole people to fill its pockets. That
is Northern conservatism ! In what is it
belter than Abolitionism?"
We publish the above choice bit of abuse
because it demonstrates that while the
Northern radicals are charging the conser
valives with giving aid and comfort to the
enemy, the Secessionists, on the other hand
denounce these same conservatives as the
most formidable of their enemies.
The Northern conservatives are hated by
both the Abolitionists and the Secession
ists because they stand as a wall of fire
around the Constitution to protect it from
the treasonable assaults of either of these
revolutionary factions. The Secessionists
cordially hate the conservatives because
their loyalty, to the Government remains
unshaken, and because they are the "most
potent and active enemies of treason. The
hatred of the Abolitionists for conservatism
is equally intense, and for very much the
same reason, because it resists every at
tempt to convert a war for the maintnance
of constitutional government into an engine
for its destruction.
When this rebellion was inaugurated by
the Davises, the Toombses, the Benjamins
and the Whigfalls of (he Sooth, they had
not the most remote reason to apprehend
the slightest infringement upon their Con
stitutional rights. The Republican party
although in a minority of tfie popular vote
had obtained control of but one branch of
the Government the executive branch.
The Congress elected with Mr. Lincoln was
a Conservative Congress. The Senate was
largely against the Republican parly. The
Cabinet and foreign appointments of the
jiew President were subject to the approval
of the Senate. His was the very cypher
of a function. The victory of the Republi
can party wonld have proved a barren vic
tory, and its fruits limited to the patronage
under the exclusive control of the President
and the Departments. Moreover, the Con
gress which expired with the incoming
President, though it defeated the Crittenden
Compromise by the joint efforts of the Re
publicans and the secession conspirators,
adopted an amendment to the Constitution
protecting each Slate in the right to, regu
late its domestic institutions, and also rec
ommended to the Northern States the re
peal of their unconstitutional personal lib
erty bills The South bad nothing to fear
from the New administration. Had the
Sonthren Senators remained faithfully at
their posts, and Southren representatives
returned to Congress, the Republican party
would have been powerless to carry out any
of its offensive doctrines, and at the end of
four years it would have been succeeded
by a Democratic Administration. But in
stead of confining their opposition to the
limits prescribtd by the Constitution, the
Sonthren Senators went home to inaugurate
rebellion and put their cause to the arbi
trament of the sword. They became trai
tors to the Government and traitors to the
Northern conservatives who stood by them
so long as they claimed nothing more
than their constitutional rights. They ap
pealed to arms without the slightest justifi
cationthey deserted their Northern friends
to bumble themselves at the feet of Euro
pean despots they sought the indiscrimi
nate abasement ot the Northern people
and they inaugarated the most causeless
and wicked revolt with which the pages of
history have ever been stained. And now
when they are paying the penalty of their
treachery when their military power is
broken when their pride is humbled
when their rebel congress is a fugitive from
their rebel Capital when their soldiers are
scampering over the plains of the sacred
soil of Virginia and when the ruins of their
proud fabric of rebellion threaten to crush
the leaders who were instrumental in rear
ing it, they find no cause for self abasement,
but fail to abusing the Northern conserva
tives for not imitating their bad faith and
treachery to the best form of Government
ever devised by human sagacity.
Tne. Northern conservatives will outlive
the enmity of rebels, and enjoy the satisfac
tion of compelling -them to "render 'obedi
ence to the Government and thelaws. They
will also outlive the enmity of tfie Aboli-i
tionists and protect the Constitution front
their treasonable schemes. They will live
to see the Union restored, the Constitutor
maintained and treason in every shape an
nihilated, or rendered impotant for futum
evil.
A Hero Wanted by the Republican Party.
The Republican party is badly in watt
of a Hero. It has made the most strenuous
efforts, ever since the war commenced, to
manufacture a Hero but, sad to relate, all
its attempts in that line of business have
proved woful failures. It started out with
Cameron and to him posterity was to awaid
all the honors for having conceived and ex
ecuted all the plans for putting down tl e
rebellion. Uufortunately for Simon befo e
posterity got a chance to stamp him a He o
he was banished from the country for mil
feasance in office and the Idol for Repub'i
can Hero-worship was left with none toilo
it reverence, notwithstanding
"A true patriot he be it understood
He left his country for hit country1 good."
The next aspiraut for Heroic fame was t!te
redoubtable mule-eater, John C. Fremont!
John, however, proved so mulish in his na
ture that a sort of drum-head court martial
summarily disposed of bis claims by d s
missing him from the service ! So anotber
Republican military chieftain was set asiJe
as bad material for a Hero.
Generalissimo Lincoln was next tro'ted
out as the Hero this time, and no mis;al:e,
who was to lead our forces "OntoRiih
mond,'' but no sooner had his foot touched
the "sacred soil" of Willooghby's Point
than he all of a sudden recollected that he
was warned at Washington to look after the
"contrabands," and the army was allow ed
to move ' On to Richmond" without .he
guidance of his superior generalship! his
true the newspaper correspondents acord
to General Lincoln the credit of taking Nor
folk and all it batteries. The risk attach sd,
however, to taking batteries which had no
longer any guns in them, and entering a
city already evacuated by the enemy, is
hardly a sufficient military achievement to
make a Hero, but may answer for the Re
publican party who are hard op for some
thing ef the sort and willing to be put off
with a mock article when the gtnuinais
not to be had.
But our Republican friends should not
despair they have two chances yet. C en.
Fremont is reinstated to coram and the
mountains, and Gen. Hunter is in the field
with his nigger brigade, and who knws
but the Republican party may yet succeed
in manufacturing a Hero out of one or oiber
of these redoubtable Generals We vait
further developments.

Abolition is Secession.
Testimony of Andrew Johnston.--" I
would not be personal, but an abolitionist
is as much a Secessionist as any to be found
in South Carolina. Now, as much as t iese
Disunionists of both classes abuse ;ach
oiher, they nevertheless both unie in lay
ing violent bands upon the Government that
never harmed either. If I were an Aboli
tionist, 1 would break up the Union, for the
disruption of the Union must inevitably de
stroy and obliterate slavery. Hence w j are
for '-he prosecution of this war to save the
Government as founded by our faihers, for
restoring the Constitution as we received
it without regard to the peculiar institu
tions ot any State. That a secessionist and
an abolitionist are on par, I can prove by
a simple syllogism an abolitionist is a
disunionist, a disunionist is a secessionist;
therefore a secessionist is an abolitionist."
Hon Antly Johnston's Speesh at Cohmbus,
OcU 1861.
Testimony oe Honest "Joe Holt. We
make no apology for this wicked effort in
the Sottth to destroy the Government. We
grant the necessity of suppressing it. But
Abolitionism that has produced it, must al
so be suppressed. Abolitionism anl Se
cessionism must be buried in the sane po
litical grave."
A Prediction.
At the late meeting of Democrali: and
conservative members of Congreis, at
Washington, the Hon. Wm. A Richardson,
of Illinois, said :
" I suppose 1 am regarded as a party
man. It is known to the gentlemer who
are present that within a few days past
I have signed an address which has for its
object the reorganization of a party. I did
so because I saw a disposition on ths part
ol the people for that very thing, a ad be
cause I saw it would meet the acceptance
of the American people."
After a reference to the Democratic par
ty Mr. Richardson said:
"I do not despair of the people of the
Northern Stales coming up to the ful. mea
sure of this occasion. For the State of Illi
nois I can especially say this. 1 an satis
fied that when we again assemble be re in
a future Congress, the extreme Abolition
party will not have enough members on
this Moor to make a roll call. I agree in
what has been said about the country and
its good. We are to preserve the Consti
tution as it is, and to restore the Union as
it was. It is not to be tampered with or
impaired by any mere political partr."
THE SUPREME COURT DECLARES IT
UNCONSTITUTIONAL.
Judge Woodward, of the Supreme Court,
rendered an important decision, this morn
ing, in declaring the entire army vote, cast
at the last election, unconstitutional The
following cases were before the court, on
which decisions were rendered, viz :
The Commonwealth vs. Joseph Kunzman.
Error to Philadelphia. Opinion by Wood
ward, concurring opinion by Reed. Judg
ment affirmed.
In re-contested election of Distnct Attorney
for Luzerne tounty. Certiorari to Quarter
Sessions of said county. Opinion by Wood
ward, Thompson dissenting.
In the first case, a person was prosecuted
in Philadelphia city for illegal voting at the
late election, while he was in the service
of the country as a private soldier. The
defendant's counsel srgued before the trial
was had, that the indictment should be
quashed for reason that the whole army
vote was unconstitutional. This view of
the case was sustained by the Judges of the
Court, and the indictment quashed. The
Supreme court sustains this decision.
The second case came before them from
Luzerne coaoiy, in which county, the can
didate for District Attorney, Mr. Chase, who
had a majority in the county, but was de
feated by the army vote, took au appeal.
His opponent was declared eleced by the
return judges, and the court of Luzerne co.,
sustained that decision. The Supreme
court, however, decides the army vote un
consliltional,and declares Mr. Chase elect
ed. This decision will make some important
changes in several officers elected at the
last election. Harristurg Telegraph, May

A Cpeiositt. The following is the 6th
of the series of resolutions composing the
platform of the Republican party, & adopt
ed at the Chicago Convention in I860:
"Resolved, That the people just y view
with alarm the reckless extravagance which
pervades every department of the Federal
Government; that a return to rigic econo
my and accountability is indispensable to
arrest the systematic plunder of thr public
treasury by favored partizans, wiiiie the
recent startling developments of frauds and
corruptions at the Federal metropois show
that an entire change of administration is
imperatively demanded.'

THE WAR NEWS.
No Surrender bt Democrats We ad
mire the tone of the following which we
take from the Albany Argus, addressed to
the Democracy of New York. We would
apply it to the Democracy of Columbia co :
"Fellow Democrats, have patience; 6tand
fast by your principles, calmly endure the
flippant reproaches and misrepresentations
with which partizan demagogues, or it may
be, honest but weak and unstable political
friends awsail you. When the storm of vi
tuperation shall have passed, and the noisy
and pretentious patriots of the day shall
have shrunk away from the dangers which
now impend over us, the last hope of the
nation will rast upon you and upon your
courage and firmness, gronnded upon an
intelligent political faith, will be equal to
the terrible ordeal, and the salvation of
your country will be wrought out by your
political principles, preserve your organi
zation, patiently struggle for the right, and
prepare for the hour, when the work of re
establishing the Constitution and restoring
the Union will, by common consent, be
committed to your hands."
Tiik. deep and dark game says the Bos
ton Countermand we echo its language which
has been going on at Washington, amoLg
a set of infamous politicians, must before
long become folly developed. When the
details of the whole plot are thundered into
the ears of the people, it will be impossible
for the moat stolid to fail of apprehending
the design in its full enormity. Be it now
enough to say, what has indeed been ap
parent to those who have observed the pro
gress of events and have had the mean of
information, that the set and deliberate pur
pose has been pursued to prevent McClel
lan from gaining victories for the country,
which would rebound to his glory, as it
would re-establish the fortunes of the Re
public as an essential part of the scheme
which, in overthrowing the constitution,
would have established a despotism on the
ruins of the Union.

The Harrisburg Patriot and Uni-m says
that a secret meeting of leaders of the late
Republican party was held in that place
last week, and that Hosea Carpenter was
in attendance with them. It was supposed
that the meeting bad reference to the Loyal
League business. Hosea has been missing
some time. Where is he? The public be

the Gazette tell us? He is wanted at home
badly now. Candidates are declining, and

joke occurred about Congressmen not long
since. A Michigan Colonel was in com

that they were congressmen. The corporal
stated the case to the colonel- "They are
congressmen 1" asked the colonel. " So
they say. "Well let them pass and go
where the please,' said they colonel. "Let
them tramp on torpedoes, 50 into the maga

that is the quickest way to end the war."

Official Despatch from Gen. Banks.
HeadQuarters, Maitinsburg, May 25
To the Hon. E. M. Stanton, Sec'y ot War.
The rebels attacked us this morning at
day break, in great lorce. Their number
was estimated at 15,000, consisting ot Ew
ell's and Jackson's Divisions. The fire of
the picke'a began with day-light and was
followed by artillery until the lines were
fully under fire on both sides.
The left wing stood . firmly, holding its
ground well, and the right did the same for
a time, when two regiments broke the lines
under the fire of the enemy. The right
wing fell back and was ordered to with
draw, and the troops passed through the
town in considerable confusior.. They were
quickly reformed on the other side and con
tinned their march in good order to Martins
burg, where they arrived at 2:40 P. M , a
distance of 22 miles.
Our trains are in advance, and will cross
the river in safety.
Our entire force engaged was less than
four thousand, consisting of Gordon's and
Oonr.eIy's Brigades, with two regiments of
cavalry under General Hutch, and two bat
teries of artillery.
Our loss is considerable, as was that of
the enemy, but cannot now be stated.
VVe were reinforced by the 10th Maine,
which did good service, and a regiment of

The White Flag used by the Rebels.
Baltimore, May 25th. Two members of
Colonel Kbnley's regiment have arrived in
this city and report that they were attacked
by a large cavalry force under Col. Ashby
atd several regiments of Infantry, and twice
repulsed theai with creal loss. Kenley's
force consisted of the First Maryland Regi
ment, three companies of the twenty ninth
Pennsylvania, and while the fight was pro
gressing two companies of New York cav
alry came to their assistance
The fight commenced at twelve o'clock
and continued up to night, when the infant
ry force succeeded in surrounding them.
The first flight and repulse took place east
of the Shenandoah, and finding th force
too great, he retreated to the west side, de
stroying one of the bridges, but was too
holly pursued to succeed in destroying the
principal bridge. He made another stand
on the west side of il.e- river, and Knapp's
battery mowed the enemy down with shell
and grape.
They fired in all nearly two hundred
rounds. Col Kenley received a muket
shot in the neck during the first attack, but
continued on horseback until the close of
the day, when he was placed on an ambu
lance perfectly exhausted.
The last fiht took place four miles thi
tide of Pront Rojal, his efforts being to fail
back in order, expecting reinforcements
momentarily from Gen. Banks.
A member of Knapp's Battery, who es
caped, says that the Maryland Regiment
fought with indomitable bravery, and that
Col. Kenley led them on frequently to bay
onet charges. He sl-o says that on the
third approach of Ashby he displayed a
while flag until within pistol range, when
Col Kenley ordered to cease firing. The
while flag was then thrown down, and the
enemy rushed on our troops, cutting and
slashing and refusing all quarter. Lieut.
Col. Du Shane and Major Millar are both
reporled wounded and prisoners.

that had he never entertained the thought ol

abandoning the State, that if, in the course
