Audacious Assumption.
One of the most brazen -fac"njpsunip-tions
that ever enmnateJ from imtdence
itself is -the pretence set up by pertain
Democratic leaders, that the selstylcd
Democratic party must h$ restoved to
power to make a successful end of the
war. They have issue! a new edition of
the old, stale story that the Republicans
rj not competent to govern the country,
and that the only remedy is a return ot
hunkerism to power. This assumption
comes with exceeding bad gra'je from a
class of politicians tho Mere mainly in
strumental in inaugurating this rebellion.
These demagogues seem to have forgotten
that their votes and their influence made
Buchanan President, and put that old
traitor and thief, Jons 1. FLOYD, tvith
other traitor?, Conn, Thompson and
Tcvcey, into the Cabinet, to lie aud steal
and , plot . triason and rebellion in the
"White House. They seem to have forgot
ten that their parly organization for years
has been entirely under the control of the
blackest-hearted set of traitors that ever
disgraced the earth.
The Democrats who talk so flippantly
about the superiority of Demccrats to rule,
Kecni to have forgotten the fact that only
n few years ago, they secured the services
of that jesuilical traitor, JfDAii P. Ben
JA.tHN, to travel from Louisiana to Maine,
to instruct the people how to vote, and
how they r.hcered him in Philadelphia
and New York, and pronounced him Sir
Oracle ; and how they went away to Geor
gia to hunt up that tory, Howell Cobb,
to assist the Jewish thief in expounding
Democracy to the people of the Free
States. We wonder it they remember
v their fulsome laud ttions of one JEFF
Davi-j how they rommended him to
the notice uf the people as a wonderful
Fpfritiien of genuine Democracy, when he
traveled a few years ago through the Free
States to instruct the people in their polit
ical duties.
In what kind of a condition are these
Democratic leaders, to talk about the im
portance of restoring the country to Dem
ocratic rule,' with their garments still
covered with the leprous spots of treason,
by their association with the villainous
rebels of Louisiana, Mississippi aud Geor-
" 9
What w;:s the cr:;i;mvnt'rc?ortfd to by
j Ben Wood, John Van Buren, Jim
Broof.s. and Erastus Corning, to per
suade the people of New York to elect
Seymour Governor? Just the reasoning
everywhere reeorted to by secefh dema
gogues "that if the Democrats can only
hold the reins of government, they will
briug this war to an end." And how will
they do it '(. By "Compromise,' exclaim
the fools and traitors. And what kind of
a compromise, pray tell us ? and here
the wised among the Democratic sachems
are compelled to stop ior the waut of
something to say. To talk seriously
about a settlement of the issues involved
in this wai bv compromise, is rauk trea
son, and the man who proposes it loves
Jeff Davis and his infernal rebellion
better than he does hi country. Every
man possessed of common sense knows
that the government has but one alterna
tive left it must either conquer or be
conquered.
There is one of the most weighty reas
ons in the world why the Bepublican
party should be kept iu power, to wit : the
whole tribe of traitors and seeesh sympa
thizers are in the ranks of the Democratic
parti, and a Democratic triumph is every
where in rebeldom hailed as a victory for
Jeff Davis. The recent elections in
Ohio, Indiana, Pennsylvania and New
York arc claimed in all the rebel papers
as secession victories.
The 1 'resident has "inaugurated a new
policy," cry out the hundred and one
Democratic organs, and has "left the old
landmarks." What new policy, pray ? The
emancipation proclamation ! that is the
ghost which now so terribly frightens the
Democracy. What has been the policy of
the Democratic party since the commence
ment of the present war? We answer it
has been to save slavery first, and then
save the Union if you can. "What has
this policy done, and what has it accom
plished ? What has it accomplished in
Virginia, and on the Potomac? Nothing
but a succession of defeats and drawn
battles. How much nearer is the rebell
ion crushed out in Virginia than it was a
year ago? And yet a great hue and cry
is raised the moment a new, more vigorous
and energetic policy is suggested. What
da the fault-finding Democrats want? Do
they want to hold ou to a policy that will
prolong this war for years and years to
come ? If they suppose this policy is to
overthrow Mr. Lincoln's administration,
and bring them again into power, do they
count the success of the Democratic
party of more consequence than the sub
jugation of the rebels ? Is party with
them above country ? These are questions
which suggest themselves in reviewing
the course of the self-styled Democracy
upon the war, and they almost as naturally
furnish their own auswer9. But these
demagogue politicians tell us the Presi
dent's emancipation proclamation has
"divided the North." How? We answer
how : So long as the earnest, progressive
patriots of the country allowed the Dem
ocrats to dictate the whole movements of
the war, aud conduct it under the ban of
a pro-slavery policy, just so long they
would stand by their country, but after
their policy had failed, and the President
in obedience to the wishes of a large ma
jority of the loyal people, struck a blow
at the corner stone of the rebellion, then
they would turn traitors and play into the
hands of Jlff Davis and the rebels.
Disguise it as you will, that is the whole
truth of it. Many of those who oppose
the President's emancipation proclamation
are a set of jaid jiati tols, who are ready
to pitch into the Administration the mo
ment it departs one hair's breadth from
the policy they dictate. They know their
management of tho war has already
brought odium upou the Administration.
They know a continuation of the same
policy will in the eud defeat the party in
power, and this is, above all other consid
erations, what they desire. The reason
of a "divided North" is found in the dis
loyalty of the Democrats party. They
would rather "reign in perdition than
serve in Heaven." llu'e or ruin, i& their
motto ; and this is the reason why wc now
find a divided North.
Dhafted Men and their Substi
tutes. Gen. C. P. Buckingham, of the
War Department, has made the following
important decision :
"When a drafted man furnishes a sub
stitute that is accepted, the two changeOhc President ha3 declared that he wants
places. The principal is liable to another
draft, if made, just as he would be if he
had not been dratted at first, and the sub
stitute is bound by the first draft of tho"
principal, just as if he had been drafted
himself."

SSffm At a great Democratic meeting in New

The Dem. & Sent., in groaning over a
side-wipe we recently gave him, has some
thing to say concerning a "journeyman."
In view of the celerity with which it set
tled our neighbor's hash, our Devil is em
phatically of the opinion tint the "side-wipe"
in question has proreji itself to have been
"Nae jonrneywork,
John Anderson, my Joe!'' f
Z3T" The fanatical and ungrammatical
Dein.& Sent, calls President Lincoln's Eman
cipation Proclamation an, "assumptuous proc
lamation." Assuming such to be the case, the Procla
mation has still a clear advantage of three
syllables over our neighbor in this, that
whereas the former is ativijtuou, the latter
is admitted on all hands to be simply an ass.
E,The President's Message is said to be
nearly finished. In it, Mr. Lincoln will ar
gue at length his Emancipation policy, not
only in regard to the military Proclamation
of Emancipation in the disloyal States, but
in relation to his gradual Emancipation poli
cy in the Border Slave States. Tl message
will be unusually long, and will probably be
furnished to the afternoon papers . of the
country on next Monday, 1st proximo.
JtSajf The Dem. & Sent , in a spasmodic at
tempt at pun, says that, in case we take our
threatened "inside view" of that establish
ment, we will ultimately be obliged to cypher
the editorship of the paper down to a "ddot" ,
the letters composing which word to be
reversed iu order to allow the joke of tbe
thing to become apparent.
No, sir I That would be cyphering matters
to altogether too email a point.
KJfc, In the matter of Generals for the war,
only "augurs that will bore." How would
the editor of. the Dem. & Sent, suit him?
Although only an auger of comparatively
small calibre, he ia a rare old bore indeed.
Could he by any possibility succeed in boring
the rebels as e flee tu ally as he bores his read
ers, he would be exactly "the right man in
the right place." At present he is the right
man in tho wrong place. On these grounds
we would hail his appointment to a command
as an tiogur of good.
RurnsicXe's Change of Front.
The Philadelphia l'ress speaks as fol
low in relation to the recent change of
ba9e of operations of the Army of the
Potomac :
That Gen. Burnside has changed his
front iu the face of the enemy creates no
little surprise. Some weeks ago we ob
served in this column that the campaign
inaugurated by Gen. M'Clellan with the
intention of seizing the Blue Ridge gaps,
end marching upon the enemy's communi
cation and lines ofretreat between Gordons
vine and Charlottesville, wss ended, for
the hoped-for renlt was not obtained
General Lee and his army having reached
Gordonsville in safety before onr advance
cavalry had reached a poiit within twen
ty miles of it and it became optional with
.Lee to fight a battle with our superior
forces, at the foot of the mountain, or fall
back tlowly and securely to his fortified
base at Richmond. As it was mo&t im
politic in the rebel commander to ri.k a
heavj' engagement with little hope of suc
cess, he has retreated to his capital, leav
ing a force in the Shenandoah Valley as an
army of observation and occupation for
foraging and obtaining information. The
advantage of mrving to Predricksburg are
very evident. It may be no better or afer
point from which to operate against Rich
mond than Culpeper, bccauEe the former
position may be as easily turnei or flanked
as the latter. But Fredericksburg is an
excellent point for a supply depot, because j
wo can use the 1 otomacand KappahannoCK
livers for the transportation of supplies all
the winter through, assisted by the rail
road from Aecpiia Creek. Again, the
dirBcuity of waiug war iu Virginia ren
ders it necessary that a large army in
active operation fhonld be instantly con
nected with its supply depot by a railroad,
and 'this will be found leading from
Prederiiksburjr all the wav to Richmond.
Two days' march along this road will bring
our army to a point where it cau obtain
supplies from points cm the Ware, York,
James, and Rappahannock rivers. Three
or four days' march from Frederickbuig
will bring us iu front of Richmond again,
and give the Army of the Potomac a
reinlorcment of 50,000 men, besides wood
en and iron clad gunboats in abundance.
This route is the short one also, and by
taking it we force the rebels immediately
from the Shenandoah valley and open the
road to Staunton fur General Cox.
The same paper adds :
The advantages likely to result from this
predilection of General Burnside are many
and important. The army is now at least
sixty miles nearer its destination, its line
of communication is secured beyond the
possibility -f interference from the rebel
General .Jackson, it cannot possibly be de
layed for want of supplier, and it is no
longer crippled in its movements by the
necess'ty'of defending Washington. These
arc the more apparent advantages, and
highly significant as they are there are
others of much greater value, which may
be reasonably anticipated. Gen. Burnside
has flanked the rebel positiou at Gordons
ville, which may already be abandoned by
General Lee, or must be ppeeJi'y. Lee
can reach Richmond sooner than our army,
but Stonewall Jackson cannot. All his
movements are now bcinc closely watched
by General S'gcl, on whom the defeuce
of Washington immediatel v devolves ; and
it is not at. all improbable that the fate of
"the doomed city" will cow be decided,
without the wily rebel general who is now
penned up in the Shenandoah, miles away
being consulted ou the momentous subject.
After all the boasts which the rebels have
indulged in, that they could always avail
themselves of the policy of concentration,
by virtue of their interior lines, the pres
ent situation oi their armies i? as novel as
it is assuring tor ourselves. The only two
commands on which they cgjvrtly for the
defence of their capitol, are one hundred
and fifty miles apart, with the peaks of the
Rlue Ridge interposed between theui as a
barrier.
The policy of rapid concentration is
doubtless a very excellent one, but it is
slightly iuconvenient of execution when a
mountain range beautifies or embarrasses
the topography.
B?iThe Government has made arrange
ments to redeem all postage stamps in
circulation, notwithstanding its notices
forbidding their use as change. This re
demption will be made iu postage currency
and Treasury notes, as soon as the postage
currency is sufficiently abundant to prevent
further purchases of stamps for change.
If the redemption were commenced imme
diately, stamps would be bought for the
sole purpose of exchanging them for
currency and speculating therewith. But
this evil of speculation will soon be reme
died by the abundance of postage currency
and the public should take care that they
accept no kind of change but such as will
be redeemed bv the covernment. Postage
stamps are money, and will be redeemed,
but the same cannot be said ot any private
shinplastcrs.
The capacity of the government for issu
ing postal ctlrreney hs from to-day been
increased to ninety thousand dollars per
diem. Ope hundred and eighty thousand
dollars per week is distributed in the
States of New York, Connecticut, Vermout
and eastern New Jersey. Ovcrseventy-five
thousand dollars is distributed in New
York city. This currency nfust soon be
come so abundant, that its circulation will
drfve from use all the shinplaster trasb
which is now finding its way into the
market.
Desalt has been ascertained that there
are 411 Postmistresses in the United
State.
Slavery the Cause Democracy
Hie Incentive to Treason.
The people of tho whole world, and
more part icularly the people of this country
who are really aud fervently loyal, are
sincerely convinced that shivery was the
cause aud Democracy is now the encour
agement of the slaveholder's rebellion.
The proof of this is spread over the histo
ry of the Union, itj the wrongs which
slavery has inflicted on the government,
and the excesses of which Democracy has
been iruiltv in contributing to the exten
sion aud protection of slavery. If slaver
had not existed, there never would have
be-n a motive for destroying the Union
and if thre never had been an organiza-
tion to take refuge in the noble name of
Democracy, then'", never would have been
an encouragement aC'ordeJ to arm for the
defence of slavery by the destruction of a
government f .unded on free principles.
Tho slaveholders of the south were the
fitfct to discover that either fclavery or
freedom would have to give way to tha
progress and the settlement of the states
and territories of the Uuion. The Demo
cratic leaders were the first to make a
clear issue on this subject, when they
used their power to advance the interests
of the institution of slavery. History
proves this, if it proves anything. The
Democratic party when iu powtr, never
had a policy but that was impregnated
with the interests of slavery. All its
measures tended'to tbe degradation, in a
national and political light, of the interests
of free labor, or the elevation, in the same
light, of the interests of the institution cf
slavery. So persistent have been ti.e j
Democratic leuuers on this subject, that,
regardless of their oaths, a Democratic
President and his Cabinet actually armed
and equipped the first traitor army, gave
ships and material to the first traitor navy
and secretly, if not openly, eucourfged
the traitors to march to and siez- the fed
eral capital, j soon as the term vf tlt& said
a Jmlitist ration had expired.
The identification ol modern Democracy
with the tbivc-holders' conspiracy is as
clear as their present identity with the
open, bloody and revolting assault? of the
rebels on the government. While history
preserves the record of the outrages oi
, - , ,,. - .,, , - ,

proof of Democratic association with its
origin and precipitation. We might as
well attempt to separate the action and
excuse the ingratitude of Brutus in con
ttibuting to the death of Ctesa as essay
to deny the influences- of the Democratic
leaders in the slave-holders rebellion. All
the blood, all tbe life, all the waste of
treasure, all the desolation, all the present
and future suffering, the agony, the re
morse, the shame and the crimes of this
rebellion must and will be justly ascribed
to the leaders aud the influences of the
Democratic party.
If there had been no Democratic
organization, with its attendant corrup
tions, plnnderings, tyrannies and abase
ments, slavery long since would have been
extinguished. If there had been no
slaverj' there would have been no rebell
ion. Such will be the verdict of posterity.
Important from jIelco.
Semi-official advices from the citj of
Mexico,- by the last steamer from Havana,
have been recived here. They are regard
ed as extremly favorable tj the prospects
of Mexican success. The general impres
siou conveyed by letters, both from the
capital and other towns, coming from
various persous, upon whose statements
reliance is placed, indicate that tbe Mexi
can people are determined to fight to the
last, and that they have good hopes of
final success.
Tbe fortfications at Puebla have been
completed, and the garrisou is deemed
strong enough to hold it against any
attacking force, but should it be lo.-t, the
Capita! the fortifications of which are
almost finished, will be defended to the
last extremity, aud the people are deter
mined that, even if the French should
succeed iu occupying the city of Mexico,
they will discover that they are merely ..fit
the beginning of the war
The different States are promptly send
ing in their contingent troops. General
Comonfort alone had led five thousand meu
from a single frontier State to the defence
of the Capital. Geo. Bojas brought two
thousand more from the State of Jalisco.
All the reactionary chiefs except one have
sent in their adhesion to J uarez, and
their services have been issued for the
fortifications of every defensible town.
The Congress is not behind the Execu
tive branch of the .Government in devo
tion to the country. .At its meeting on
tho 20th of October all the Sates were
represented. On the 27th a law was
passed giviug President Juarez such ex
traordinary powers to resist invasion as
makes him virtually dictator for six months
or during the war, being bimilar to those
which were couferred ut the last session
on General Doblado, who has &ince re
tired. The Mexican government expects to have
a month and a half wore, for preparation,
which they expect to improve by rallying
an army double that of the French, who
although thirty thousand strong, have noi
moved an inch, aud will not make any
serious advance, as is believed, until the
end of December, at which time thcirtrafts
portation, which is getcing ready partly
in Cuba and partly in New York, will all
have arrived.
The French army is now absolutely
without any Mexican allies. Since Al
monte was abandoned, his followers, two
thousand strong, deserted and it was ex
pected that he would soou leave the coun
