Notwithstanding the loud-mouthed

ability to can) , the coming elections ,
the piles of money they can command
for electioneeing purposes, and their

the great prondlient fact they cannot

Acinalmstration agents, at Washington,

-
Piety Peiltheions.
In what are called , ,gie rt#Bpa)ges t„ l ,.. :
was common for leatifitg.ten
take part in the de,Mrs .2 . glories ,4
the tented fleld., f* . DWg ars of tti
Roses, when the houses o of# and
Lancaster contended for the mastery,
drenching the soil of Albion in fraternal
blood, some of the bravest of the lead
ers on both sides belonged to the church,
although not contending for "the faith."
That was before the reformation, and
when the contending parties were both
obedient to their "Mother at,Rome." .
Ate later period, in France, the great
Citrdinal Richelieu thought nothing of
co fronting the enemies of his country
and faitki end. nothing, in the military
edits- of his contemporaries was
more derisive and intrepid than his
siege of Rochelle.
We, been reminded of these
prominent instances of priestly pluck by
reading in the New York Tribune an en
thusiastic eulogium of a drafted priest in
Detroit., named Sather James Elentiesy,
who declined a substitute when offered
one by his congregation.• When spoken
to on the subject he is reported to have
said, "No, I can not permit this, my
conntry has called upon me for personal
seriice and,l will have no other man to
go . for,me. will take my own place in
the army."
In a bursting glow of admiration for
this speech, the Tribune says : "We
know nothing grander in the history of
the Draft than this patriotic conduct,
The determination of the conscientiow ,
and patriotic priest is fixed. Members
of his congregation have in vain offered
to go into the field for him. But hisfine
sense of duty to his country and to the
law, will not permit him to serve his
country by substitution."
We agree with the Tribune that the
conduct of Father Hennesy is rather
"grand," under the circumstances; but
why does not that influential Abolition
journal advise the Abolition priests, who
did so much to bring on the war, to imi
tate his example ? If the braining fan
atics who desecrate the pulpits of :New
England by constant appeals to the
partizan prejudices of their hearers,
would form a few regiments they could
far better serve the cause of the Union.
To such an organization this county
could afford a score or two of clerical
hubilings, whose voices are loud for
Llood, but who, unlike Mi. Hennesy,
entertain the usual and prevalent re
spect for whole skins.
112rhir. Charles Sumner,. who disgrs
ces the seat once occupied by Daniel
Webster, made the following statement
in Faneuil Hall on Wednesday last :
"Wherever you look now in the rebel.
lion, there you find the old Democracy,
into which is absorbed John Bell and
his followers, arrayed against their eoun.
try.
Look at Individuals ; you will find
that the larger half constituting the con
controlling power of the old - Demo
cratic party, is now In arms against
their country."
Mr. Charles
,Sumner when be made
this statement, knew that he was utter
ing a falsehood, and uttered it for the
purpose of stirring up the worst passions
of his hearers against their loyal fellow
citizens of the Democratic party, and
therefore for the putyose, in so far as in
him lay, of exciting civil strife and
bloodshed in the loyal , States. It is
known to all the world that the Demo
cratic popular vote in 1860, in the North
ern States alone, was larger than the
Republican vote in those States. In the
Presidential election of 1856, the popu
lar vote stood thus :
Fremont. Buelmuun.
1,1 ,1. 4 1n; 2 e 64 North. 1,416,346 North.
South. 422,6515 South.
So that without a single Southern sots
the -northern Democracy outnumbered
the Republicans in 1856.
In 1852 at the election of Pierce, the
Democratic vote was thus divided :
Northern votes. Southern votes
1,264,420 646854
In other words the northern Democra•
cy in 1852 outnumbered the Southern
Democracy a little mare than three to one,
and in 1856 a good deal more than three
to one.
' , And it is in the face of such facts as
these that a person holding a place in the
American Senate dares to say in Fan
euil Hall that the "larger half of the
old Democratic party is now in arms
against their country 1"
®'The friends of McClellan, Pen
dleton, and the Union, throughout the
State, must be on'their guard against
false andunfounded rumors, of all kinds,
that will be set afloat by the Abolition
managers, between this day and Tues
day next. The most incredible storie s
will be circulated, and the most shame
less reports will be manufactured. and
printed.by the Abolition press. They
are dow using every exertion to deceiVe
the people. They will employ every
means, no matter how base, to keep

andigiiidotic efforts.

Mr. Charles Sumner has a bad mem
ory. The country cannot forget that
Abraham Lincoln was Pres L ffient, suit'

the nqw-b4rn Confedeiate Government

Mr. Seward received informally the
commissioners of this C.)nfederate Gov
ernment; Mr. Lincoln sent authorized
messengers to confer with the Governor
of South Carolitni; while the conf9derate
Beaureard was preparing his batteries
to capture Fort Sditipter.
These are things which Mr. Charles
Sumner can very easily forget, but which
the country "cannot forget." Mr.
Charles Sronner, too. would like to for
get, we make no doubt, his public and
private talk in Washington while the
"rebellion was allowed to organize and
to gather strength." As, for example,
such passages of discourse as this com
memorated by "Russell of the Times,"
in his "Di try," March 31, 1861: 1
walkei home with Mr. Sumner to his
rooms, and heard some of his views,
which are not so, sanguine as those /10
Mr. Seward, and I thought I detected a
desire to let the Southern States go out
with their slavery if they so desired
Mr. Chase, by the way, expressed Mai
meats of the same kind more decidedly
the other day."
"Abolition at all hszards" was the
true Republican purpose in 1861, as it is
in 1864. The Republican leaders would
gladly have let the "South go with her
slavery" then, as, if re-elected, they
surely now will do. They were pre
vented from doing this then by the do.
teimined attitude of the Northern De
mocracy, devoted then, as now, to the
Union and the Constitution, and resol
ved to maintain the one in the spirit of
the other.
The very next day after this donver
3ition with Sumner, we find this entry
in the "Diary" of "Russell of the Times."

Democratic Meetings
There has never been manifested the
same amount of enthusiasm at Demo
cratic gatherings preceding an election
in our recollection as at the present, The
Democracy do not depend upon flaming
hand bills, hands of music nor paid or-
ators. It is simply the uprising of the
honest masses who have been oppressed
and are determined to be free. Take
courage Democrats, flinch not from the
performance of your duty in this
great struggle.

r...1r An immense hickory pole was
raised last evening by the Democracy of
the Fourth Ward, at the foot of Irwin
street, opposite the Scott House. It was
nearly one hundred and thirty feet long,
and emeiderable time wet spent in
raising it. A large crowd was in attend
ance at the time. A large and enthusi
astic meeting was afterwards held, and
the audience was highly entertained for
a considerable length of time with some
excellent speaking.
Ems - ' The citizens of the Eighth Ward
raised a splendid hickory pole last even

ton. A general meeting of the Demo
cratic citizens of the Ward was atter
wards held. Several popular speakers
were present at the time who entertain
ed the numerous audience till a late
hour. The meeting was quite enthusl.
astic, and manifested their approbation
of the speakers with frequent demon
strations of applause.
Speech of Senator V% noun.
The speech of Senator Wilson at
Wilkins Hall is regarded as a miserable
failure. His statements were not only
gross but inaccurate, whilst his abuse of

ungentlemanly but vulgar in the ex

republicans expressing the same opinion.
Democratic MassMeeting' at Indiana.
One of the largest democratic Mass
Meeting held in Western Penne, was

Messrs Large, Hopkins and Hancock.
COn Saturday afternoon, the Bth

at the house of Jacob Sheid, at 3 o'-
clock, the largest hickory pole ever seen
standing in this county. In the even
ing, at 4 o'clock there will be held a
meeting at the same place, at which a
fine brass band will be in attendance.

Attempted Escape of Rebel Pris
oners at Cainp Douglas
A thrilling incident took
,place at
Camp . Mougla9 on Tuesday:niglit, in
the desperate and daring attempted sor
tie of a squad of rebel prisoners, some
thirty or more in number, only defeated
by the vigilance and promptness in the
sentinels. The movement took place a
little after ten o'clock, towards the north
western angle of the enclosure, when a
sudden rush took place of the attacking
party, armed with mallets, axes, and
clubs. They rushed across the "dead
line," the leader throwing a blanket
over a light that illuminated that part of
the enclosure. With him it was em
phatically.
"Put out the light and then put out
the light," for quick as thought the bul
let of the sentry sped, striking the rebel
in the throat, inflicting a mortal wound.
Undeterred by his . tall, his equirades
made for the fence, and began a furious
battering process upon the boards with
their axes and weapons. The long roll
sent its echoes throughout the camp.
The excitement was intense. The guard
rallied and poured their fire indiscrimin
ately in upon the rebel squad furiously at
work in the darkness upon the fence,
their position under shelter of the para
pets, however, giving them undeserved
mmunity. The whole affair was short
lived; and from the reasons named,
though numerous shots were fired, only
two rebels were struck by the bullets.
These were Lewis H. Moore, of Compa
ny D, Alabama, and another
whose name we have not learned. The
first named WAS shot in the act ofextin
guishing the lamp. Ile will probaltly.
die. The other is only severely wousd

Colonel .1. B. Sweet, commandant of
the post, has issued a general order, in
which he Cautions them against such at.
tempts, reminding (hem of their position
as being a necessity of the war, and in

duty strictly. The arrangement at
Camp Douglas are so complete for th e
prevention f such attempts that even

which way the wind is blowing.

THE Secretary of the Treasury an
nounces that he will recelyd Proposals,
until October 14th, for forty millions of
5-20 s Bonds, The 5-20 s have always
been so popular that a liberal premium
is expected, and a considerable amount
will probably be taken on foreign ac
count. The 7.30 loan will,not be inter
fered with, and remains the most conve
nient investment at par that is now in
the market, while the "Proposals" may
be desirable for banks and capitalists.
The subscriptions to the 7.30 s have al
ready amounted to over forty-five mil
liens. Full particul.•us relation to
both these loans will be found in our ad
vertising columns.
AT New Bedford, Mass., the other
day, some aeronauts made an ascension.
After reaching something of an altitude
they came back to earth again in a very

dedly rough, but the party escaped with
only a few bruises.
THE silver from the Masonic jewels
found in the ruins of the Winthrop
House in Boston after the fire several
months ago, was sent to the United
States mint, and half-dollar pieces coin

members of the different lodges, en
campments, &c. These are the only
fiftycent pieces coined this year.
IT is stated in London that an active
trade with America in salted provisions
is expected for some months, owing to
the high prices of meat and dairy pro
duce, which are expected to prevail un
til next spring, in corlsequence of the
late drought.
THE herrings are plebtiful this year,
and so much fatter than usual that a lit
