OPthe rebel Government, nor would he

thi'AQllthern people letting loose among
them three millions of debased and mis
erable slaves. But even - if our efforts
tiPiednie peace are fruitless, and the in
- auprigible rebels are still for tight, let us
see ,that there is a man at the head of
the Government who will use our pen
plOsiies with the care of a Christian,
ati*nol,like a savage butcher. Let us
have no more experimenting with "my
route to Richmond" even if it does re
giMemall summer" and "a hundred
thousand" men to accomplish it.
Just now the effort of the Administra
tipn and ; its lying organs, is to convince
the peciide that it is impossible to make
peace, and they are inventing all
sorts of extravagant stories to this
endl ; But we all, know the object
dt{t if is to justify the Administra
tion in its remorseles conscriptions for
the army. If the Administration is
sure there is no posaibility of securing
peace, why has it three times slaped the
dtidtin, the faces of those whose business
it was to offer it ? Why were they not
at least allowed to make known their
terms 4'' - 'l'he' region is plain, the Ad
ministration desires no peace, and it is
now relying upon further slaughter to
maintain itself in power. There is away
to peace, to honorable, lasting peace, if
the parties will but stop fighting and
commence talking ; if they blit cease
conscriptions and begin negotiations,
even mediocrity will realize that "the
pen is mightier than the sword."
The Richmond Sentinel, the organ of
JEFF. 'DAVIS, in a recent number
-remarks "we of the South consider in
dependence as the great and first object
of the war, and that separation is essen
tial to independence; yet we shall be
willing to listen to what you have to say
and propose on the other side. The
Sentinel says further : You may offer us
something that will secure our equal
rights within the Union. We don't say
it would satisfy us, but the subject is
worthy of consideration."
We put this declaration of the
"ppositiap to all the faneyero
mance of JacquEs & Co., to the effect
Da.yis said to them "inde
pendence or annihilation." Whether
l ilbeAlue 'or false, that there is a possi
bility of peace, every reasonable effort
should be made to ascertain it. In the
language of another : "If one solitary

INbiGN ANT PAtRIOTIAM
A furious patriot appears in the Wash
qgtOn ~.Chron icle as fellows:
"Patriotism,b3ve of liberty,the memory of our
glorious past, all seem to be swallowed up in
this race for gain and spoils. Armies may be
defeated, the cause may be in danger, invading
hordes may cross the Potomac, invest the capi
tal, lay waste the country, turn out women and
children houseless and homeless to wander and
die, and light up their pathway with the glare
of burning homes; yet the peo,Nle seem to sleep
as tranquilly as if war's clangors never shoo -
the land. More men are called for, and in
stead of men we get commutations."
The chap is mistaken, the days of
commutation are gone by. Gen. MOOR
HEAD our representative "with others of
his way of thinking repealed the com
mutation, so that the man now who is
able to avoid military service by the
payment of money, must secure a sub
stitute at from $l2OO to $l.BOO. Poor
fellows unable to raise these sums must
go to fight for rich Abolitionists
whether they like it or not.
For the Poet.
The Board of Enrollment.
The Dispatch, the other. day, had a
curious and lengthy article in defence of
the strange proceedings, daily taking
place at the Provost Marshal's office.
The defence was principally that adopt
ed by all old offenders; especially when
they think their tracks are pretty well
covered, viz: a demand for the proofs.
For the rest it is said the Board of En
rollment is not responsible for the want
of system and justice, but are merely
tools in the hands of a higher blundering
power. Now it is the duty of every
high minded man, not to allow himself
to be made a fool of in the eyes of every
one, by any employer whatever, and we
should judge from the Dispatch's article
that the members of the Board owed it
to themselves, to resign at once and
leave a position that makes them ridic
ulous. One singular rule they work by
i., that it is "not the disease itself which
exempts, but the consequences, or ef
fects of the disease which disqualifies."
Now, if a man could carry a disase in
his pocket, or keep it about him without
suffering from it, this would do, but we
submit that this is a distinction without
a difference." We cannot understand
why a disease that would reject a volun
teer, would not exelhpt a drafted man,
unless it is that a drafted man costs
nothing, and they can better afford to
let him die, than a volunteer who re
ceives a bounty. If they only get a few
months service out of a drafted man it
is so much gained—let him die—but the
volunteer costs tocanuch. There is an
other cause which one would suppose
from its singularity would exempt a
man, viz: if he "has an eye tooth i s each,
jaw," but it seems it does not. This
probably, accounts for their stripping, a
man tv hi. tooth, Afx n c cow
fess we never heard of one that had
"an eye tooth in each jaw" in his head.
Why do these men [sang on so tena
ciously to their miserab:e offl.-cs' It is
very hard work—they are getting thin
ner every day; they are making life
long enemies and are abused by both
friend and foe; it cannot make them
popular in the future; it commands no
respect. It cannot surely he the. pow
pittance of pay allowed theta, and it
they are caught speculating, the pun
ishment is very severe. It must be that
old instinct in office-holders that made
Jefferson say "few die, and none resign.
CITIZEN..
For the Fo,t
Dogs! Dogs!!
We are rejoiced to know that a fel
low feeling hak indnced Mr. Bigharn to
insert one dollar per capita tax in does
in the forthcoming revenue bill. Why
not? This city contains some twelve
thousand dogs, mean mangy curs, likely
to go mad, never probable they will
ever do any good. The Mayor is un
willing or unable to enforce the ordi
nance, and protect the lives of our loyal
citizens by demanding 'ife or muzzle.
Llfsays he has no money to build a
"pound" or capture or bury dogs. The
ordinances of the city are stringent and
most particular in relation to male and
female dogs running at large. The con.
tingent fund must stand the draft and
the Mayor should see to it at once.
Several things should be done on this
dog question. First tax the owner—
then oblige him to buy a muzzle—then
shoot the brute, or if lead has become
expensive try strychnine sausages. We
are not only for a war of subjugation
but extermination. If the Controller
will not cash the warrants of the Mayor
it is a sign dogs wont bite him, but we
have "toothful" evidence they will bite
other people who are just as good as
he is,and as saving of their money as be
is of other peoples'. Let the Mayor
pass round the hat and collect postal
currency ( which still goes •at drug
stores) enough to buy poison and scat
ter it in attractive pieces of fresh meat,
they havn't been getting much lately,
and dogs will become scarce. I don't
recommend this for the purpose of de
creasing the revenue, but to save valua
ble lives. I wish dogs could he drafted
and sent to the front under Grant, they
would never come back, and thereby
render a great service to the community.
I give you due notice Mr. Mayor that I
carry a revolver, a handy bill, and a
poisoned sausage so "how are you"
newfoundland or black and tan. 1 will
rally round that flag until I have made
myself square on the the last bite.

It is K aMed 'An classic page; that
Xerxes, a --Abe time .ghat his enormous i

%baked over the 7iiiighty hosts, at tie
lth4llll:ght that in hundred years the
*hare must pass away. In this Etth
, c_untarastmwei.--1, be found the only
ppj of 'maikail discrepancy between
digeharacters of a great man of ancient
and another great one of modern times.
In other respects there are very striking
similarities in the respective natures of
Xerxes and Old Abe.
Xerxes was a believer in large armies
l and a good many of them which -is ex
actly the case with this modern couu
terpart. The Persian was everlastingly
I raising enormous armies of invasion, at
a most fearful. ost to his much taxed,
long suffering'snbjeett and this may he
said with equal truthfulness of the great
Illinoisian. The former scarcely ever
had any success in his efforts, being in
/Variably soundly threshed, with enor
`Mous losses; which is likewise the case
with the latter. Xerxes was persevering
for no sooner had he used up one army
of a million of men than he immediate
ly posted back to Asia and raised anoth
er army of another million, in order to
continue his efforts at invasion. In pre.
cisely the same way is Old Abe perse
vering, for the instant he sacrifices an
army of half a million, instead of being
discouraged, he hurriedly issues a ukase
for the conscripting of three or five ben
Bred thousand more.
In fact, the only difference discover
ab:e in these two great men is, that while
Xerxes stood at Abydos and wept to
think that his vast hosts would all dis
appear in a hundred years, Old Abe
lounges at Washington, and Jokes'as he
contemplates his innumerable legions,
and foresees that in six or nine months
all will have disappeared, and that a new
draft will lie necessary. It is said how
ever that tears and laughter are closely
allied; if so, it follows that noon this one
point Xerxes and Old Abe do not, after
all differ so vet y widely; and here ;it may
tie front the posessiun of the same pre
cise qualities that induces Old Abe to
joke over what was to Xerxes a source
of tears. If this be true, then it is a fact
that in every feature of these men's char
acters, and in the developements of am
bitious projects, and their successes,
there is a similarity of a remarkable fi
delity.
At short intervals, Xerxes, with an ar
my of a million, was pushing forward
upon a movement of invasion, and at
equally short intervals he was tieeint ,
homewards to raise a new army of ano
ther million. Substitute five hundred
. -
thousand for a million, and the name of
Lincoln for that of Xerxes, and the fore
going statement is as applicable to tlld
Abe as it is to his Asiatic• prototype
Storms Were constantly sinking the fleet
of the Persian, which would be the case
with the iron-dads of Lincoln did they
ever venture into waters where oho niq
abound. What old Neptune did for Xer

improve its behavior, which example
should he folldwed by Lincoln toward
old Welles, if for no other reason, that
he may render perlect the resemblance
between himself and the other great in

which i 9 largely what i_ the matter with

A Warning to Chicago
Thurlow 'd'eed has written a letter to
the Albany EDeuin9 Joarna: in which
hi , declares without reset ve that he may
he compelled to abandon Mr. Lincoln as
his candidate and vote for the noniim , e
the Chicago Convention .
I apprised Mr. Lincoln, in November
last, that "the man who could g(, o n ,
step farther and taster in ending the re
hellion and preserving the Government
and Union than any tither, would be my
candidate l i ft I'n-sident." Such is still
my purpose. It Mr. Lincoln's opponent
be, in the unpatriotic sense of the term,
a "peace man, - or of "copperhead" pro
clivities, I shall zealously and heartdv
support Mr. Lincoln; but it I can see a
reasinahle probability of electing a Pres.
ident who would prosecute the war for
objects declared to the world in the res
olution offered by Mr. Crittenden, and
adopted by congress, I should give my
voice and vote tor such a candidate
Messrs. Chase, \\ Sumner,
and Chandler, with the "Tritunem" and
"Post 4," compelled Mr. Lincoln so to
pervert and narrow the:condiet AP to
leave us to day with a tiLited South and
a divided North.
The Times, Mr. Lincoln's own organ,
quoting the above, says frankly;
"We believe this to he substantially
the position of the great body 01 the
Union men through the country,"
The Chicago Convention delegates
can infer by this, without difficulty,
what course will get for its candidate
the vote of three fourths of the voting
population of the North, and what
course will alleniate from our ranks all
the outside assistance, without some of
which we shall be beaten.
Mr. Weed and the Timex practically
admit that a war for the Union prostitu
ted into an abolition crusade can never
command the votes of the North; they
admit practically that the hope of Union
will never he surrendeaed by the bulk of
the northern people, whether successful
war or the negotiation or an honorable
peace be necessary to secure it. Theis
sagacity is unimpeachable, and the Chi
cago Convention may learn from the en.
emy.

In every seldiOrilintriet there, should be
formed a Democratic; Association, and
the school houses are good places to

To facilitate this important and vitally
necessary step, we have drawn up and
given below a form of a Constitution,
which may be varied according to the
circumstances of the case.
The Chairman ed the Democratic
State Central Committee has desired us
to ask of every Democratic paper in the
State to publish this Constitution, and
urge the formation of Democratic Asso

at any time, on being informed of the
post•ofltce address of the Chairman or
Secretary.
This A.ssociation is formed with a view
to the strict and conscientious perform

living under a wise and well•ordained
Government which has deseended to us
from our Revolutionary sires; and we
seek, by free discussion and a frequent
interchange of views, to become imbued
with the true spirit of the Constitution
Pennsylvania and of the United States,
and our rights and duties . under them, as
also those of our rulers.

The Plantation Bitten make the weak strong,

Roots, Herbs, ac., all preserved In perfectly pure

Persons of sedentary habits, troubled with
weakness, lassitude, palpitation of thz heart,
lack of appetite, distress alter eating, tdtpld liv

will not try them.
They are recommended by the highest medl

vintectincf beneficial effect. They are exceeding
ly agreeable, perfectly pure and harmless.
Novioe..—Any person pretending to sell Plan
tation Bitters in bulk or by the gallon is a swind
ler and imposter. It is put up only In our log
cabin bottle. Beware of botttles refilled with
imitation deleterious stuff', for which several per
sons are already in prison. See that every bot
tle has our United States stamp over the cork
unmulilaled, and our signature on steel-plate side
label. Sold by respectable dealers throughout
