THE XniTH V0MJ3IE.
- We take pfeasure ia 'announcing to our
patrons that the present Dumber of this pa
per commences the Seventeenth. Yolurae of
the Star or tub North. . Fur sixteen years
this paper has been published without in
' tarruption or suspension, save nine moniht,
which was caused by order of President
Lincoln's draft, in the Fall of 1862. This
- paper was established io 1818, by Bkj. S
Gilmobk and Reubkn W. Wcavca, Eqrs.,
and published by these gentlemen until the
commencement of the second volume, in
1 1349, after which the senior editor retired.
'Mr. Yf avkr continued the paper op to the
' time of his demise, in December, 1857. lit
- January," 1858, we became the proprietor of
the establishment, and from that time op
to the present, nearly eight years, we hare
been the constant editor of this paper. And,
as the editor of -a political newspaper, our
opinions have been conscientiously enter
tained, and boldly and frankly avowed ;
' and that, too, at times when it was consid
ered disloyal y ea treason by those high in
authority, to criticise the public acts of the
administration. To publish fatts as they ex-
. 1 t .i I i ... -r. t.
isiec, ano ion oniy so rate as mi fan a
year, was to endanger your life. Thank
God, that lime has passed ; and all honest,
law-abiding people may hope it never to
'return. VVe enjoy once more a free and
" ontrammeled press ; no longer to be sub
jected to the will of tyrants and usurpers
endangered by bayonets or menaced by
mobs. The people are fast returning to rea
son and common sense and are no longer
allowing their better judgment to be carried
away through fear and excitement. A won
derfal change haa come over the minds of
the people, both North and South, in the
past six months. They can now lock back
la their calmer moments' and see where
they have erred ; and then endeavor to im
prove by their sad experience.
'' This if a desirable time for all who do not
receive the Star to become subscribers. It
. is highly important that every Democrat,
during the coming jear, should take his
party paper. 'Mny matters of interest will
be disco ised and decided in the next twelve
"tnonthf; and in order that the people may
ta conversant with and nndentand what is
4 going oa at the bead of our governmental
affairs, they ahould be th? recipients of all
the Democratic journals they can conveni
ently read and pay for. The probabilities
are that, the approaching session of Con
' gress will be the most interesting and excU
ing one that has. ever been held. There are
-subject of very great importance to be
disposed of by that body the coming win
tar; and it is our intention, from time to
time, daring the sitting of Congress, to pub
Itch as much of its deliberations as our col
cans will admit.
.Before another year shall have passed,
the Democratic party will have a warm
campaign to pass through. It will be to
decide by their votes, which they most as
suredly can do if every Democrat does his
duty, whs shall be Governor of Pennsylva
nia the next three years, and who shall be
uui ucjLt AByitjaaniBiivea in congress, for
this contest it is highly proper that every
Democrat should make Ibe necessary prep
aration; that be should have the welfare of
bi country nppermoat in bis mind, and be
ever ready to carry out the well-established,
long-cherished, time-honored principles of
the Democratic party. We will Tiot engage
il this contest simply for success and the
spoils of oQce ; but for a higher and more
worthy purpose to stay this almost inevitable
national bankruptcy and alleviate the suffering
of the people. The honest masses should be
ready to meet the issues, which will be
forced opon the country by the New Enc-
land fanatics, openly and boldly. They will
rhent of the Negro, and when that ft attemp
ted all wbo are friendly to a While Alan's
Government shoal j stoutly oppose the ini
qaitons measure. The Democratic party is
not dead, nor near its demise. Once more
its great voice will be beard in every town
and city bo.U North and South. The history
cf this party ie right, and the' party stands
now, as it fever has stood, the Party of the
tlatica. ' Y " , " '

Thc Republican party rejoice over the re
sult of the late election in tbia State to no
very great extent. So far, there haa been
no oxen roasted, no speechifying, no noth
ing. The small local politicians cackle to
keep op the courage of their party; but
really do not know what they are rejoicing
ovet. The Democracy never calculated on
beating the Republican party at the polls
thisFall; they did not desire a victory,
however easy they might have gained it.
The Democrat io party made sufficient dem
onstration to make every Republican be
lieve and feel that bis ticket was doomed to
debit. There was not a Republican in the
State who felt sure of success. They wore
morally certain of defeat. At the same
time the Democrats were laughing at the
lukewarm and dispirited set, knowing thai
I the S'ate wonld go Republican this Fall.
Fvery person most admit that it is better for
the Democratic party to lose the State this
Fall than carry it. Defeat does not dispirit
the Democracy, tbey have gotten used to it,
after some six years' experience. The Re
publican party having carried the Stute,
must bear all the responaibilities and gam
bling ol hard times and high taxes; and by
one yesr from this the people will be ready
and willing to make one grand change by
placing Hon. Hikster Cltmcr io the Gu
bernatorial Chair and electing a Democratic
Congress.
The Abolition editor of this place tries to
snpport Akprew Johoson bo: it seems like
a very hard job for him to do so. Io his last
issue he grasps at the President's speech to
a Negro Regiment, and imagines that he
sees a li'tle consolation for the Abolitionists
in it. Why does not Ibis same editor ap
plaud the President's address to the Missis
sippi delegation ? We believe be did not
print a line of that speech. The President
is entitled to and has the right to expect a
full support from those at least who placed him
in the position he occupies. He does not re
ceive it. . ' r
The President in addressing that colored
regiment, together with their white officers,
called them bis "countrymen," and for mak
ing this expression some of the Abolitionists
are read and willing to endorse him. Mr.
Johnson understands pretty well how to
manage the great mass of these AboWtiou
fanatics, and the more wide-awake ones,
soch as Wendell Phillips, are beginning to
find it out, and have already opened their
batteries against him. Tbaddeas Sievens is
no way mealy-mouthed in bis opposition to
the President's restoration policy. We may
look for a pretty warm fight in Congress this
winter between the supporters of the ad
ministration and the New England fanatics
and allies.
Col. W. W. H Davis. Like a true
soldier Col. Davis, one of our standard
bearers in the the late political passage at
arms, resigns himself to defeat with dignity
and philosophic stoicism. He says, in the
last issue of the Doylestown Democrat:
Oca DcriAT We were defeated last
Tuesday for Auditor General of the State,
and by the verdict of the peopU oar com
pel) or. General Hnr ranft, of Mon'gomery
coontv, has been chosen to administer the
duties of that office for the next three years
Had the Democratic party turned out as
they should have done, the reoh would
bar been different. Bot we have-no fiolt
In find wi-h any one. We bow with great
cheerfulness to the verdict of the people,
and personally, we have neither heart
burning nor regret to disturb os in our re
tirement as a private ci.izen. VVe did not
seek the nomination, nor did we set our
heart opon success. We were willing to
carry the banner of our jany info the con
teat, and defeat is 4 fate that has met good
and true men ''-every where since the world
began. There is nothing to repine. at. In
the future as io the past, we will be found
fighting in the ranks of the party endeavor
ing to give supremacy to those great and
conservative principles that will yet save
the-country. VVe return our thanks to ihe
party for the confidence reposed in ns and
to our political friends for the' support they
gave us at the polls."
The Pittsburg Chronicle, Republican, siys:
"The decided gains of the Democratic party
in such places as Cleveland and Cincinnati,
Ohio, and in many counties of our own
State, show the oft repeated assertion that
the party is dW.is simply romantic " Yes,
Mr. Chronicle, a Munchausen romance, that
had a wide circulation before the election,
among the fools and knaves who are
always 00 the lookout for the strongest party
to tie to.

A Methodist Minister was recently aires
ted by military authority out West. Gen.
Grant, being informed of the fact, dire: led
the minister to be released from military
arreus. He says ''it is time that military
arrests and military commissions were at an
end. We are now at peace, and if any
citizen commits any political oflenie, be
should be taken before the civil courts, and
there be tried for bis crime."
PasMbcrr Johwson is exercising the par
doning power to considerable extent. H
seems to be more merciful to the Southern
people than many of the more prominent
Abolitionist declared he would be. His
predecessor, Abraham Lincoln, was not so
lenient. Among the men of the highest
standing and character in the Sooth, lately
pardoaed, is the Hon. Alex. H. Stephens,
Yice President of the defunct Confederate
States of America.

Secretary EeCallotVi Fort Wajne Speech ;
- We print on our first psge of this week's
Star the Interesting speech delivered by
Secretary McColloch to bis fellow towns
men at Fort Waynes Indiana. The finan
cial part as well as the political part of it
is of particular interest- His observations
on the genera! policy of President Johnson
are of no little account, and coming as they
do, from a Cabinet officer, should command
considerable attention and respect. While
the politicians are disputing with each other
as to what the President doe, or does not
intend, nothing could be more opportune
than the statement of a cool, fair-minded,
well-informed witness, who is under eo par
tisan bias and has no by-ends to serve in
the exposition be makes to his neighbors.
When Mr. McColloch states his impres
sions of the character and policy ot the
President, we expect to learn the precise
truth from an artless, unbiased, and most
competent witness.
On the negro suffrage question Mr. Mc
Colloch leaves no ground of hope for the
Radicals. He tells ns that the President, af
ter insisting on a recognition of the irrever
sible feci that slavery is dead, "has not con
sidered it within the scope of bis authority
to go further and enfranchise the negro."
The Secretary has no doubt that the policy
of the President on thix subjeot will suc
ceed and be indorsed by all wise and can
did men.
The sentiments and policy of the Presi
dent having, pf late, been so mnch in dis
pute, we have been led to remark rather
opon the political than the financial part of
Mr. McCulloch's speech. The latter is
equally satisfactory with the former. The
administration favors a speedy return to
specie payments, and the withdrawal and
funding ol the greenbacks as a maans of
reaching this result. Secretary McColloch
regards aj inflated paper currency as both
wasteful and demoralizing, and hopes, if
supported by Congress, to remedy the en
healthy state of business, of which he says
the present high prices are a strong evi
dence. Read the speech. .
Thumb Screws,
Dr.MccD attempted to make his escape
from the Dry Tortogas a few days ago.
Without being noticed by the uegro military
guard, he secreted himself in the coal bank
of the steamer ''Thomas A. Scott," a vessel
that had landed a cargo of prisoners, and
was about to return 10 the States. About an
boar before the steamer was ready to leave
the Island, Mdod was missed. Search was
made and be was found. In order to com
pel him to divulge the name of ibe peron
wbo assisted him in his attempted escape,
thumb screws were applied, and under this
refined method of extracting evidence, he
confessed that he had been assisted by one
pf the screw of the vessel. Had his guard
been white instead of black troops, the pun
ishment would have been visited upon them
for their want of .vigilance, and not opon
Mood. They were the guilty parties, for it
was their duty to guard the prisoner, wbo
is not to blame it he attempts to escape. It
was well for them that their skins are black,
or they might bs:ve felt the thumb-screws.
Thomb-screws! . This is the latest refined
Abolition mode of torture. We have read
eomewhere in ancient history that thumb
screws had teen need by brutal men to tor
tore their onfonunate victims. VVe belisve
this mode of punishment was resorted to
during the Spanish Inquisition, when men
fed opon blood, and, by their wickedness,
caused devils to blush. And now, under
the guidance cf our New England philan
thropists .thumb screws have become Amer
icanized, and are resorted to by officers
commanding negro troops to torture a fallow-creature.
Where is Harriet BucHta
Stows! Why don't her teers flow now as
tbey formerly did, when she was told that
an insolent black bsd received a thrashiug 1
Thumb-screws i.1 America I Where did
they come from ? Wbo imported there in
to our country 1 Let the people have the
importer's name, and also the name of the
beanies and blood thirsty brute who osed
them opon Mcdd. If the lower regions con
tain one corner hotter than another, the un
mitigated scoundrels who import and use
thumb-screws in America, will occupy that
corner after tbey have finished serving their
master, the devil, on this earth'. Thumb
screws in America ! used upon a prisoner
because of the negligence of his black
keepers! How long, oh,, bow long most
we be disgraced by Abolition rule ? Amen

Rev. Robt. Breckinridge: "That this Synod
adjudges that the action of the majority of
the Louisville Presbyterians, by endorsing
and adopting a paper styled "Declaration
and Testimony," assumed such a state of
open rebellion against the Church, and
open contempt and defiance of her scriptur

der arid acts, as to render each and every
one of them unqualified, unfit and incompe

Brooklyn, N. Y., Moy ZSlh, I8F3.
Messrs. Hostetiek & Smith : Gentleman
I bare need your Bitters during the last six
weeks, and feel it due to yon and to the
public to express my beany approval of
their effect upon me. I never wrote a
"puff" for any one, and I abhor every thing
that savors of quackery. But your Bitter
are entirely removed from the level of the
mere nostrums of the day, being patent a
Iike to all, and exactly what they profess
to be They are not advertised to core ev
ery thing, but they are recommended to as
sist nature in the alleviation and u In mate
healing of many of the most common in
firmities of the body, and this they will ac-
compliah. I had been onwell for two
mouths, as i nsual with me during the
Spring. I was bilious, and ecfiiring from
indigestion, and a general disease of the

Ad Independent Drmncrailo Dully,
M eekly and seml-VV eekly Mewpnper.
After four years of civil war. forced opon
the people of these United States by the
violence of sectional parties, we now ea
ter npon a new era of unity and of prog
ress. North and South, a oordial co-operation
of all honest men is needed to re
pair the waste of war, to establish our
Peace through the triumph of sound con
stitutional principles in the administration
of the government, and our Unity bv guard
in? all that makes Union desirable.
The great Democratic party, whose h in
to ry In tbe past is the history of private
prosperity, of territorial extension, and of
public order in America, stands now, as it
has ever stood, the Party of th Nation,
superior to all sectional passions in iis loy
alty to the rights of co-equal States and to
the liberties of tbe individual citizen. Once
more its voice .will be heard, once more
its adherents will be rallied to its time
honored standards in every city and town
of the Northern and Souibern States.
To the principles of the great Democra'io
Party of the Nation, The World has borne
firm witness throughout the ordeal of civil
war. It trill now be devoted to the not
less arduous lak of applying those prin
ciples to the solution of Ihe many and
weighty questions financial, social, polit
icalwhich corns npon ns with the return
of peace. Faithful to the real interests of
all sections, it will be enclave J by the prj
udices and blinded by the prepossession b
of none.
That the principles of American Democ
racy should thus be uttered, with no weak
or uncertain voice, hera in the great metro
politan center of American enterprise and
commerce, is a matter of such importance
to every ctlizsn as must recommend Ti e
World to the co-operation and mppoit of
good men in all sections of the Union.
Whatever skill can devise or enterprise
accomplish will contribute 'o make T.ie
World what it is our resolve that it shall
continue to be ibe B-m Newspaper of ihe
Day.
. Competeut correspondents at every com
mercial and political center of both hemis
pberes, who are always instructed to make
the freest and promptest use of the tele
graph, will keep our readers full informed
of the doings and the progress of mankind
in all parts of the globe.
