The Democratic Party Four Tears Ago.
In the campaign of 1860 the Democratic
party predicted the condition of our coun
try to day, in case the sectional party elec
ted their candidate Abraham Lincoln.
The Democratic party told the people the
truth, yet those great truths were unheeded,
and the coun'.ry plunged into civil war, as
the natural consequence, when we reflect
upon the principles embodied in the Chi
cago platform and the measures advocated
by the leaders of the Abolition party for
the last thirty year. When our speakers
told the opposition party that they were
advocating doctrine dangerous to the Union,
and if successful in the election of their
sectional man, that the North and South
would coon become involved in a bloody,
civil and internecine war, the terms
'Union-savers' "Constitution-lovers," and
"dough-faces" were applied to them. We
were sneered at for avowing the truth, and
in every instance where Democratic teach
ing was likely to hoH the people firm, the
Abolition party did all in their power to de
ceive the people with their "glittering gen
eralities" and the promise of "good limes'
and no war. Through their continued
falsehoods and misrepresentations they sue
ceeded in electing their sectional candidate,
thus performing a piece of work which the
people have been, time and again, from
the days of Washington to the present, sol
emnly warned nt to do. Although they
"have gone and did it," the Democratic
party wish it distinctly understood that they
counseled the people not lo elect a section
al man, and had their advice been heeded,
the couutry to-day would be Ires, from all
this mourning that is visible in nearly every
dwelling in the land. All this loss- of life
would have been stayed ; this huge debt
r.ever have been made, and the country re
maining, as it was for the last half a cen
tury, la a prosperous and happy condition.
It is enough to make one shudder to think
of the loss of life so unnecessarily sacri
ficed in this wicked and unrighteous war,
commenced and baptised into a war for the
liberation of the negro, by Abraham Lin
coln. ; And for this, our white men are
made slaves; dragged from their homes
and families to. fight a war for negro eman
cipation and the subjogation of a white
raco. Mora than a million of men have
been thus cruelly and heedlessly rushed in
to the jaws of death, lo carry out the will
and design of that arch traitor and demoa,
tyrant and imbecile, Abraham Lincoln.
No one can, nor dare, deny that Ibis is not
Abraham Lincoln's war for" the freedom of
the negro and ibe subjogation of the South.
How long will the white men of Ihe North
allow themselves to be slaves to the will of
a Dictator, and submit to all his usurpations
and oppressions ? Will they continue to
live and die under bia gating yoks another
four years ! We much mistake the voice
of the people if they will not take advice
of the Democratic party this Fall and hurl
from power the fanatic and lool that dis
graces the Presidential chair to-day.
STAR OP THE NORTH
Democratic Delegate Election.
The Democracy of Colombia county will
meet in the several election districts, on the
:7th in st.,, for the purpose of choosing
delegates to frame a ticket for their support
at the approaching election. This is an im
portant duly, and hence the necessity of
choosing honest intelligent men to dif charge
it. It is the solemn and responsible duty
of the Democratic party at this time to pre
sent such men for public suffrage and sup
port as will command votes by the purity
oi their lives, and the uprightness and hon
esty of their actions. Let the proper par
sons be chosen as delegates to the county
f!nn veniinn. and thv will seek ont ''lha
right man for the right place," and fill all J
the offices with citizens to whom he com
munity can and will place implicit trasiand
confidence.
This view of the case must strike the
minds of all men who have the good of the
Democratic party and the country at heart,
in the fast approaching political struggle.
The party in power have squandered and
stolen the public money, butchered and
misused the brave men in the field. Imbe
cility and corruption mark every act of the
Lincoln administration. The people are
loudlf clamoring for a change of rulers
They ask that honest, competent men shall
be selected to fill the various offices, in or
der that the era of competent and faithful
public servants may commence. Wheu
this is done their votes are certain. But if
bad men are chosen by the Democratic
party, no appeal can be made to those who
are tired and disgusted with the present
state of public affairs, and .the whole van
tage ground will be lost. These are consid
erations which should influence the action
of every Democrat incaatiog his vote at
our. delegate elections. Select the right
men for delegates,, and you have such a
ticket as can be elected to a certainty at all
times, and in nearly all places. Democrats
of Columbia, see to this on the 27ih inst.
The Election.
The election on the Constitutional amend
ments, held in this county on Tuesday, the
2d inst.. resulted in a decided rejection by
the Democratic vote. There were twenty
five hundred and fifty-three votes cast
against the first amendment, and fifteen
hundred and thirty-three in favor of its
adoption, showing a clear majority of ten
hundred and twenty against it. Tbe major
ity against the second amendment is eight
hundred and forty-nine, and that against
the third, eight hundred and twenty-six.
This shows the Democracy of old Columbia
lo be firm, and always up and a doing.
Had the other counties throughout the State
done their part in this matter half as well
as this county, these amendments would
have been defeated. The towns and cities
did comparatively nothing. Where' the vo
ting was to be done, the whole matter
seems to have been grossly neglected. The
majority of some of our heavy Democratic
counties is not more than half what it was
last Fall. The first amendment seemed like
too delicate a matter for the Democratic
party to oppose, in some placed. The idea
of opposing the soldiers vote was too much
for them. But, had they looked at that
amendment in its proper light ; took into
consideration the many opportunities it af
forded tbe opposition to practice fraud upon
the election, thereby in many instances
abusing the right of suffrage this amend
ment grants the soldier, every Democrat,as
well as every right-thinking man, should
hae made op his mind to oppose the
amendment, and thus stop further fraud up
on the ballot-box.
7-30 Government Loan.
In another column of our paper will be
found an advertisement of "United States
730 Loan," to which we would direct the
attention of our readers. This loan seems
to us the most libera! of all yet offered . An
exchange in speaking of this loan, says,
the general rate of interest is six per cent..
payable annually. This is seven and three
tenths, payable semi-annually. If you lend
on a mortgage, there must be a searching
of titles, lawyers' fefersfamp duties, and
delays, and you will finally have returned
lo you only the same kind of money you
would receive from the government, and
less of it. If you invest in this loan, you
have no trouble. If there is no National
Bank at home, any broker will obtain it for
you without charge, and pay you the inter
est coupon at the end of six months as a
more convenient form of remittance to his
city correspondent. If you wish to borrow
ninety cen's on the dollar upon it, you have
the highest security in the market tj do it
with. If you wish to sell, it will bring
within a fraction of cost and interest at any
moment. It will be very handy to have in
the house. Upon the whole this seems to
be the most popular and desirable loan ye!
offered to tbe public. Read advertisement
for further information.
William Seward was really the candi
date for Pretidenl in the last campaign in
stead of Abraham Lincoln. But at the
meeting of their Convention at Chicago,lhe
Cameron and Sewardites could not make
any better compromise tjan allow Mr Lin
coln to be the nominee. As neither one of
them could be nominated, and doubts loo
existed as lo their election, they concluded
Lincoln the most fit subject lor thejr tool
Events have proved Lincoln to be nothing
more than Ihe mere cat's paw in the hands
of smarted knaves than himself. He bad
do qualifications for the office ol President.
No one'pretended to set op any for him.
He was brought forward as a rail-splitter.
A third-rate lawyer, with a very common
englisb education, and a "smutty joker," i
the best that can be said or Abraham Lin
coln. The people are abashed to think of
him as being the President of the United
States ! Il ia a disgrace to the American
people-:

been received for the month of August. It
is a good number ; has the true Democratic
ring. We need more such papers.

"To whom it mat concern !" Sach is the
language of Mr. Lincoln when he is about
to make a declaration that the old Union,
for which the blood of our fathers was made
to flow, shall never be restored.
Truly, Abraham thou art dignified !
Did the people of the United States ever
before this time have a servant that became
so exalted? Imagine, Abraham seated in
what formerly was called a chair, but now
is the throne of a military Dictator, with all
the grandeur that Greenbacks can purchase,
surrounded by an army, called into service
under the plea of restoring the Union, but
actually converted to the purpose of forever
annihilating all the rights of the people
And now, after a war of more than three
years duration, in which nothing has been
accomplished except the destruction of
thousands of human beings, milliDns of
property, and the Constitution with the
freedom, it guarantees, Abraham closes tbe
door lo peace, and refuses to hear any pro
positions trom the Southern Confederacy,
unlns iur.h propositions shall embrace the
"abandonment or plavsry." Tax payers,
think ol it; persons liable to conscription,
think of it ; women whose husbands are to
be dragged to the slaughter, ami children
who are to made orphans, think of it 1 You
are they uhom it concerns. And, voters, we
call upon you, for the sake of humanity and
freedom, to think ol it, and by your ballots
hurl from power the tyrants at Washington.
Then shall the Union be restored and only
then.
An Important Political Movement in Ohio.
We have received rtie circular appended
lo this- article from Middletown, Ohio, en
dorsed by a promiuent republican of that
locality, staling that it is being very gener
ally signed by the Union republicans of
that section. He also adds that "the prev
alent opinion among the substantial men of
the Union organization is that unless there
is a concentration upon soma new candi
date for the Presidency the democrats will
carry Ohio at the next election." Tbe very
wording of the circular speaks volumes of
itself as lo the condition of tbe republican
party. That here is a deepseated dissat
isfaction m the, partyjjver the renomination
of Old Abe at BaItimoreTia been apparent
ever since the adjournment of that Conven
tion. It could be seen on all sides ; but
we had not supposed that it had yet reach
ed to that stage wheu another convention
would be called. But it seems that this die
satisfaction has broken out iri Ohio into an
open movement for a State convention on
the 6th of August, and a national conven
tion on ihe 22d of September, at Buffalo, in
this State. That this means war upon Old
Abe is apparent from the assertion that ' no
candidate has yet been nominated lo suffi
ciently concentrate tbe loyal vote to secure
the success upon which the best destinies
of the republic depend." If this move
ment is meeting with any such success as
is reported in Ohio and we have every
reason to believe that it is then Oid Abe
is even at this early stage of tbe canvass
forced to take his choice between two alter
natives : to decline or snffer an ignomini
ous defeat. The circular speaks for itself,
in the following terms : N. Y Herald.
RALLY FOR THE UNION !
The undersigned are citizens and .voters
of Butler county, Ohio, who were formerly
attached to the various old political parlies,
but, since the rebellion, ignoring old issues,
have cordially supported President Lincoln
in his prosecution of the wr for the con
stitution and the Union.
The time for the election of a President
is near, and, painfully impressed with the
belief, founded on reasons deemed not ex
pedient to be specified herein, that no can
didate is yet presented who can sufficiently
concentrate the loyal vote to secure that
success upon which the bast destinies of
the republic depend ; and believing that,
especially io times of peril like these, it is
not only the privilege, but the duty, of the
people peaceably to assemble and consult
for the public welfare, do respectfully re
quest all the citizen of the county who are
for a vigorous prosecution of the war to put
down the wicked rebellion and to maintain
the supremacy of the constitution and laws
and an unbroken nationality, to assemble
in the city of Hamilton, on Saturday, the
6th day of August, 1864, at ten o'clock A.
M., to consider, amongst other things, the
following propositions
1. That Abraham Lincoln and John C.
Fremont be'severally respectfully invited to
withdraw their names as cand'dfles for the
Presidency. .
2. To recommend to the people of other
counties and States, who regard the unity
of ihe republic and the supremacy of the
constitution and laws as paramount to all
other political considerations, to hold a na
tional convention, to be composed of two
delegates for each Congressional district and
four lor each State at large, in the city of
Buffalo, N. Y., on Thursday, the 22d day of
Sep'ember next, to nominate candidatta for
President and Vice President.
THE WAR.
General Sherman, it will be remembered,
on July 27th, bean a movement which re
sulted in a complete change of bis posi
tion before. Atlanta. Gen. Howard, with
three corps was moved from the eastern
flank around to the western one. The con
federates attacked Howard's advance, and
until to day we were unable to describe the
contest. Howard's object wastoextena
Sherman's-western flank around Atlanta
until itcrossed the railroad running lo Mont
gomery. Hood determined to prevent this.
A detachnnent of his army was marched
out on the west side of Atlanta and took a
position protecting the Montgomery Rail
road. It was not until tbe morning of July
28th that Logan's Corps, which led How
ard's advance, came in tight of the Con
federates. At 11 o'clock a battle began.
Logarv's march was checked and he dug
earthworks. ' The contest continued until
three iu the afternoon, when seeing that
Logan made no further attempt to advance,
the Contederaies desisted. They still re
mained in line of battle however, in front
of the railroad. This contest- prevented
Howard from accomplishing the object of
his movement, the occupation of the rail
road. The Confederate Generals Loring and
Stephen D. Lee were slightly wounded.
General Sherman's line now confronts Hood
at Atlanta from a point four miles north of
the town, around to five miles west. At
one place Sherman's gnns are within two 1
miles of Atlanta, near enough to shell it A
consiant cannonade is kept op against the
town. It is' reported that General Stonenian
was captured by the enemy during his re
cent raid.
There is very little doing at Petersburs
The Confederates have mined a portion of
the-Federal works in front of General War
ren's Corps. This caused great consterna
tion in camp. On Friday the mine was
blown op, but the explosion did no dam
age. It was too slow, and the Confederates
aftarwards made a alight attack, but soon
desisted. There was, it is reported,
very little loss on either side. General
Sheridan has left the army, and General
Gregg now commands the cavalry. Gener
al Wetzel has also left the camp. Scarcely
a day passes now, that some general officer
does not throw up bis piace in Grant's ar
my. On Friday last General Granl paid a
visit to Washington. On Thursday there
was a cavalry skirmish on tbe Southern
Federal flank, but without much result.
The Federal loss was seventy five.
An attack, it is reported, has been made
against Mobile. On July 25th, Admiral
Farrasut sent a despatch to the Navy De
partment at Washington, staling thai he
was ready to begin as soon as the land for
ces should be in position. Gen. Granger
commands the Federal land forces. Far
ragut has six iron-dads and eighteen wood
en vessels. The Confederate iron clad fleet,
under Admiral Buchanan, nnrnbers four.
BeeiJes these he has three cotton-clad ves
sels. -This is all the reliable news. The
balance of our intelligence consists of a
number of rumorslrom New Orleans, which
some of the newspaper correspondents,
partly contradict. There is not even ai
ihenlic intelligence that the attack has be
gun. There is very little news of the Confed
erate expedition into Maryland. lingers
town has been evacuated by the Confeder
ates. A very strict censorship is kept upon
the telegraph both at Baltimore and Har
risburg. Tbis prevents any news from
reaching ps. Gen. Wright, with his forces,
is near Frederick, and musketry firing was
beard in that direction on Saturday, Irom a
town on th Pennsylvania border. There
may have been a contest, but no news of it
has been received. Everything about the
Confederate expedition is involved in as
great mystery as they could wish. General
Sheridan has superseded Gen. Hunter in
command of the Federal forces in Western
Maryland.
There is a great fright among the pilots
at the mouth of the Mississippi. The Con
federates in armed boats cruise about out- I
stde the Delta, and the pilots are afraid to
venture out The Confederates lately cap
tured the liaht home tender on that station,

On July 19th a Federal expediTiorMu

an armed Lontederate camp near Dy . cat

dition then withdrew and the enemy re-occupied
their lort.
The evacuation of Brownsville and the
Rio Grande River in Texas, by the Feder

Asotheb Smash Up. On Tuesday night
last, iwo coal Irains on the L. & H. Railroad
were thrown from the track, one ia the vi
cinity of Roaringcreek, and ihe other at
this place. A complete wreck was made
of eight or ten coal cars, and some slight
damage dene lo the track. The accidents
occurred from slides caused by the recent
heavy rains. One of the engines was run
ning wilhont a head light. These accidents
are becoming so common as to excite little
or no surprise. They may, very properly,
be attributed to loose management on the

Ina Terrible Wat The Republican or
gans are very much perplexed about the
efforts of the Democracy, and are hard at
work hatching up old 6tories and new, re
specting secret movements which have for
their object the overthrowing of the gov
ernment, i. e. the power of Abraham Lin
coln. We would inform these super loyalists
that the efforts of the Democracy are not
frustrated in the least by their abuse, but
rather benefitted. The cry of 'copperhead,'
'traitor,' aud 'rebel' have lost their force,
coming as they do- Irom men who seek the
destruction of our institutions.

U. S. 7-30 LOAN.
The Secretary of tbe Treasury gives no
tice that subscriptions will be received for 1
Coupon Treasury Notes, payable three
years from Aug. 15th, 1864, with semi
annual interest at the rate of seven and
three-tenths per cent, per annum, princi
pal and interest both lo be paid in lawful
money. -
These notes will be. convertible at the
option of the holder at maturity, into six
per cent, gold bearing bonds, payab'e not
less than five nor more than twenty years
from their date, as the Government may
elect. They will be issued in denomina
tions of $50, S100, 8500, $1,600 and S5.000,
and all subscriptions must be for fify dol
lars or some muliiple of fifty dollars.
Tbe notes will be Iransmitted to the
owners free of transportation charges as
soon after the receipt of the original Cer
tificates of Deposit as they can be prepared.
As the notes draw-interest from August
15th, persons making deposits subsequent
to that date must pay the interest accrued
from date of note lo date of deposit.
Parties depositing twenty five dollars
and upwards for these notes at any one
time will be allowed a commission of one
quarter of one per cent., which will be
paid by the Treasury " Department upon
the receipt of a bill for the amount, certi
fied to by the officer with whom the de-
poU was made. No deductions for com
missions mu?t be made from the deposits.
Special Advantages of this Loan.
It is a National Saving Bank, offering a
higher rate of interest than any other, and
ihe best security. Any savings bank which
pays its depositors in U. S. Notes, considers
that it is payin2 in ihe best circulating me
dium of tbe country, and it cannot pay in
anything better, for its own assets are eith
er in government securities or in
notes or bonds payable in government
paper. , .
It is equally convenient a a temporary
or permanent investment. The notes can
always be sold for within a fraction of their
face and accumulated interest, and are the
best security with banks as collaterals for
discounts. "r
Convertible into a Six per cent. 5-20
Gold Bond.
In addition to the vary liberal interest on
the notes for three yearp, this, privilege of
conversion is now worth about three per
cent, per annum, for the current rale for
5-20 Bonds is not less than nine per cent,
premium, and before the war the premium
on six per cent. United States Stocks was
over twemy per cent. It will be seen that
ihe actual profit on this loan, at the pre.ent
market rate, is not less than ten percent,
per annum.
Its Exemption from Stale or Municipal
Taxation.
But aside from all ihe advantages we
have enumerated, a sppcial act of Congress
exempt all Bonds and Treasury No'es from
local Taxation. On t'ie average, this ex
emption is worth about two per cent, per
annum, according to the rate of taxation in
various parts ol the countrj.
It is.befievsd that no securities offer so
gieat inducements to lenders as those is.-u-ed
by the government. In all other forms
of indeb'edness, the faith or ability of pri
vate paries, or stock companies, or sepa
rate communities, only, is pledge! for
payment, while the whole p'operty of the
country is held to secure the discharge of
1 nM I V. a ftkliifqtinnl nf Ka Tin i f o , 1 Cfhina
. a
rrrm itLE.overnment otters the most
liberal terms forTts loans." H-believcs that
the very strongest appeal will be the loyalty
and patriotism ol the people.
Duplicate certificates will be issued for
all deposits. The party depositing must
endorse upon the original certificate tr;e
denomination of notes required, and wheth
er they are to be issued in blank or paya
ble lo order. When so endorsed il must
be left with the officer receiving the depo
sit, to be forwarded to the Treasury depart
ment. Subscriptions will be received by the
Treasurer of ihe United States, at Washing
ton, the several Assistant Treasurers and
designated Depositaries, and by the
First National Rank
of BlooiiisliurSs I'a.
And all National Banks which are deposi
taries ol public money, and all respectable
Banks and Bankers throughout ihe country
will give further information and afford
every facility to subscribers.

Mesrs Selh W-. Fole & Co., Boston
Gentlemen About three years ago our
daughter, now twelve years ol age, was
severely afflicted with croup. A general
irritation oi the lungs followed, producing
a hectic cough, which became almost con
siant ; swelling of tbe temples and other
indications of Consumption were also ap
parent, and her life was despaired of by
her physician. At this critical moment we
were induced to give Dr. Wistar'a Balsam
of Wild Cherry a trial, and after she had
taken one bottle we found her so much re
lieved that it was thought unnecessary to
continue its use. feince that lime we hare
need the Balsam in our family in cases of
Coughs and Colds, end believe it to be a
superior remedy foi all diseases of the
Lungs.
Yours with respect JAMES GRIMES.
