THURSDAY A PHIL 30.
The ieiocrtIc Club" Ilcdtv-irna---4ailgyer,,---leace.
That' ""'organization, the "Demo
erotic -Club,' met at the Town llafl on
Saturday, cveoing laitv with ye "talented
lurcher," M. Ilissox, Eq , in the chair.
Tbe attendance was about as usual very
fmall but veryselect.
Dr. R. S.Bcnn was the first speaker.
After stating that the assertion that he
"wasn't much of ' na orator could not be
successfully gainaayed, He forthwith pro
ceeded to favor the audience with an
elaborate phjBioIogical, moral and politi
cal analysis of--the niyyer, lie handled
his fragrant Bubject both with and without
gloves.'. He surveyed its features and
personal proportions, and voted them
beastlike and- brutish ; he weighed it3
.brain, and fouud it wanting; he dissected
its constituent parts, and discovered them
id bo . an abortion ; he kicked its sHins,
uLe they even they were malforma
tions.; With a skillful hand, "he turned
the nigger'f rom side to side, and unflinch
ingly laid bare his every failing and de
formity, lie even almoat quarreled with
the Most High that 6uch a monster of
blackncsi and darkness had been created
to mrse our fair earth. In brief, his
entire speech c6t its weight toward
damning1 eternally, socially and morally,
here and hereafter, the poor, unfortunate,
defenceless nigger. That the Doctor's
remsrkf;' were hot altogether unanswera-
ble, lnav tue were neuner misacies oi
argument nor gems of logic, but, rather,
that they were mere ratiocinations of a
niiud bouad up in one, diminutive idea,
was tbe prevaleut impression of unbiassed
lookers-on. AVtiat his purpose was in thus
lugging in the nigger to disturb the even
tenor of th Club we can hrdly imagine.
Mr. President I" said a member in eu
out-West legislature, when some bill rela
tive to swine was before the honorable
toajf "jir. i resilient, wnen you come to
talk about, hogs I am perfectly at home,
for, you see, the fact , I havo been
brought up among hogs I" Now, the
Doctor is not a scion of the ''suuuy
South," but a-native Pennsylvania, we
l. ! i.. .1 .
r;ciicve, so ii were uiuair to presume mat
ho has beu brought up among niggers.
The only hypothesis, therefore, upon
fbich He caii account for this upseomly
"ijjging up and draggiug in of the jravory.
and despised nigger before an intelligent
audience is the one that it was, perhaps,
a topic vpon which the Doctor's knowl
edge .of the scieuce of surgery would lcst
tend to the .enlightenment of those other
than the sons of Ham. The nigger has
for a number of years been derisively
branded as the sole stock in trade of the
Republican party; henceforth this must
be different, for the Democrats have seen
fit deliberately to appropriate him. Stating
after a fifteen minutes' rodomontade that
it couldn't possibly bo expected of him to
talk further : without descending U pro
ianity, the Doctor resumed the pine
bench.
P. S. Noon, Eq,, next took the floor,
lie spoke 'for the ""duration of about an
hour, in sentiment exactly coinciding with
his address delivered at Johnstown a few
nights siere, as we find it reported in the
,ohnttotcn Democrat, lid had a great
deal to say about the . DemoeAts beiug
patriots and the Opposition - traitors, and
about tle hypocrisy of those in power,
but these were mere oratorical flourishes,
"full of sound and fury, signifying noth
ing.' About the only proposition in his
tpeeeh worthy of remark was that where
in he came out fairly and squarely for
ptace.
lie said he was n peace man, anQ
h cidn t care who knew it. The time
had arrived when peace should be de
manded in trumpet tones from every hill
top and valley in the North. This war
kos already been carried ou for two years,
tod cui bono T . What advantage have we
pained over the Traitors I We now occu
py precisalj the relative positions we did
wheu.war was declared we are asbadly
oh and ne enemy as wen on as. ever.
om thu which it woald appear that Mr.
X. h forgotten that the Union armies j
fcT recovered aud uovr hold a Lire per- i
tion of Louisiana nearly the whole of
Virginia a. large portion of Tennessee,
nearly the wliole of Kentucky, alVe-f 'Mis
souri and disloyal Maryland, attained firm,
footholds'" upon the soil of N;orth and
South Carolina, .Georgia, Florida, Texas
and Arkauas, to say nothing' of preserv
ing a most stringent, blockade, of the
enemy's' ports for two years. Taking
into consideration the extent of territory
the rebellion coders, or did cover, these
advantages must certainly strike the dul
lest apprehension .as being extremely
flattering. Furthermore Mr. Nook said
we sued for peace in 1812. So iu the
war Jh Mexico: Mr. Triste was sent
to that country with General Scott, em,
powered to ratify terms of peace with the
enemy. Why should we now refuse to
treat our "erriug brethren" as we treated
foreign enemies ? The fact seems to have
escaped- Mr. X.'s recollection 'that this
war has been on our part a war of singu
lar moderation that the President has
time after time extended tbe olive-bianch
to the South. In his first call for troops,
in April, 1861, he allowed. the insurgents
twenty days in which to throw down their
arms and disperse; so again, in Septem
ber last, he gave them three months more
grace. Uut did they embrace the oppor
tunity to stop hostilities ? Did they meet
us. half way in eur endeavor to still the
raging torrent of civil war? No ! They
spurned as well the olfve-branch as the
hand that extended it. They would have
none of it. They had cast their fortune
on the hazard of a die, and were content
to abide the result. The issue by them
had been fully made up It was "Disu
nion or death '" "the .Southern Confed
eracy or destruction !" They wauted no
peace then ; " if they desire it now, they
have only to throw down their arms and
say so, and they can be cheerfully accom
modated. Mr. Noon was unable to dem
onstrate very clearly the terms upon
which tbe much wished for consummation,
peace, was to be arrived at. lie didn't
want the Union dissolved. Oh! no; he
just wanted peace. He desired the Trai
tors to be coaxed back into the Union by
the sugar-plum of Concession and Com
promise, and the,n they were to be kept
there by the precious promise to be guar
anteed them of constitutional authority to
do pretty much as they please hereafter.
This is the, veriest doughiacery. Men
that want peace' should certainly, possess
better grounds as the basis of their claims
than tlucse. Thej know as well as we are
able to tell thorn that peace founded upon
the principle of y've on the part of the
North and take on the part of the South
will not go down with the great masses.
They havo too much respect fir them
selves, and too much love for their coun
try aud its traditions, for all that. The
South has very often declared she will
have no peace on the basis of ; construc
tion. Rut even if she did, would it not
be well to allow her the wicked design
er of all the evil which has befallen us
as a nation wmild it not be well to allow
the South to iudicate her readiness ; to
enter iuto negotiations looking toward the
restoration of harmony ? Just here it
may not be amiss to reproduce the senti
ments of the Richmond Enquirer as applied
to those doughfaces in the North who see
St to abandon their Government and turn
their attention to shrieking peace :
'The movement v ill suit us exactlj ; -nnd,
Kltlioiigh wc shall not exactly respect the
actors in tbo attuir, jet We shall not be un
willing to trade with them holding our
noses a little not to show them all suitable
civilities but at a proper distance."
Mr. Noox also said that mif this war
.wt're to bo prosecuted, it should be prose
cuted constitutionally hedidn't want a
single ri'jlit of the Traitors tampered with.
This idea of a Traitor's haviug such a
thing as a riyht under the Constitution
the right of protcctiou of self or property,
for iu-tancc strikes us as being- a; libel
' upon common senpe. Ry their own sins
and' iniquities they have practically out
flowed themselves, and about the only
equitable right accruing to the most of
them is the right to be hung. Mr. N.
declared that the South was forced into
into it by the nd ministration of James
Rl'cnA'AN, inasmuch as the inccming of
the present Administration found its peo
ple in arms and engaged in perfecting
their gecnies of disunion. He paid that
the Southerners had demonstrated 1 that
they were as brave as we which noURdy
will dny. 1'cfore the wor, however, it
was a pet phrse of the Oligarchies that
"one Southern man was as "good as five
Northern men. That fallacy ha3'been
pretty effectually removed. The speaker
j touched upou several other poiuts, whieh
l we do not uow recall. . The foregoing,
however, will Miffice to show their general
tenor and bearing".
So Mr. Noon: is a peace maa. Ye
are also a peace man, but located. upon -p
somewhat "different platform frohv the gen
tleman. Wo are. for peace, but .only with
honor and the .preservation of the countryrJ
We have fought too long, and paid too
J dearly-for what we have already -j;ained
to giyeuplin'dispaif at this early day, ,
when scarcely the one-twentictVpart. of .
our energies have been put' forth. Wtv
have fought only two-years the struggjet
lor American Independence lasted -seven
years
The foe is without doubt as tired
'W.f .!. a 1.,. - ..br.,,1,1 too
show ourselves to be his inferior in point
of endurance and devotion ?. The South
is undeniably a grent nation, , but we are-
her superior in -everything looking toward
the carrying on of a iong campaign of
hostilities, rfid- she must sooner or later
succumb. Thjs is merely a cjucstion of
time.- At the very least, we. can. fight for
Godand the Right as long as they cau
oppose us ,
The Administration, notwithstanding
the averments of corrupt demagogues of
what.-ocver creed, is undeniably honest in
its endeavors tu restore our country to its
former state of unityand greatuess. . On
mere points of policy, our Democratic
neighbors have indisputably the right to
differ from the Administration and its
adherents touching the conduct of the
war, but the' have no right to stand in
the way of that Administration in its
efforts to preserve the. life of tl o. nation. -Such
an act were suicidAl-and opposed to
the innate promptings of every . honest
heart. . It i3 every good man's plain duty
to give the war; his cordial countenance
and support. The Democrats may not
like the Administration, but, so long as
that Administration stands by the Consti
tution and the Laws, so long is it their duty
to support it. President Lincoln is the
legally-elected ruler of these United States,
and every citizen thereof owes him alle
giance. The best proof that the acts of
the present Administration have been and
are strictly confined to constitutional lim
its is to be found in the fact that the
Constitution provides a manner for decap
itating direlict and corrupt public servants
bv impeachment, and this measure has
oevcreven been broached in connection with
the name of President LincounI A man
may rightfully oppose the principles of
the Administration; but it docs not follow
therefrom that he is at liberty to oppose a
war such as we are nt present engaged in.
If he does not like the principle or plat
form of the Administration, it is a mis
fortune, and he may say so at the ballot
box by otiug to change it; buthe is
still iu duty bound to sustain the Ad
ministration so long as it is in power.
Mr. Noon is a Democrat, and in favor
of peace on almost any terms. John Van
Run en is alsca Democrat in the late
GubcrpatoriaLcampaigu in New Yoik, he
was their particular big gun aud here is

no way except you defend yourself by asitiU
ing him, ami assailing him in his most, Vul
nerable parts.
The fact is, "Democracy" as at present
constituted-is a humbug and a cheat.
Especially is this the caso in Cambria
county. Daniel S. Dickinson, in an
address delivered in New York on the
cccasiou of the holding of a grand Union
Mass Meeting, whereof General Scqtt
was president, -distinctly determines what
constitutes true Democracy. ' His remarks
are so applicable iu the present instance
that . we assume them as our own. Let
every Democrat read and profit: , -
Democracy is a principle and not a mere
name, to be tnouthe,d by fraudulent pretend

uniform, nor is everything an aprle that

truth, justice, and equality. It has its true
and its con ntertVit, nnd as in the case of
coin or p;iper, great ciforts is made by those
who hold the spurious to put it into circula

Democracy wars' not -upon Us country's

A Card.
Subjoined we publish a card from I'.
IK. .Noon, Esq., wherein that gentleman
corrects a misstatement made by one ot
our correspondents regarding a speech
delivered by .him at St. Augustiue a short
time-since. "Whenever we, or any of our
correspondents, do any one injustice, our
columns are: open for the purpose of
emendation. " .
' - EnsSoBCIHJ, April 23. 18G3.
To the Editor of The Alleyhanian :
DiarSir: In the issue of vour paper
to-day, it is stated, that, at a Democratic
meeting held at 5Stv Augustine on th 13th
ini-t.t .iu speaking of the Conscription act, I
usted the following language : ''It is uncon
stitutional and he wasrea ly to stand up with
ooe and all at home to oppose it to the bitter
raid." .
I have become 6omewhat accustomed to
th mean misrepresentations of ignorant or
.prejudiced newspaper . correspondents, , aud.
,h;tvc learned, as a general rule, to treat them
with indifference, but trom that "rule in
this instance I feel myself constrained to
depart. Upon-that occasio in referring to
the Conscription, act, 1 spoke as follows: "I
sincerely believe that act" to be unconstitu
tional, but it is the solemn duty of every
"man'to obey it until his so pronouLced by
the Supremo CourJ. If that tribunal decides
it to be constitutional, it is not only the dutv
of every man to obey it when fairly . drafted,
but it becomes Ins duty, when required-by
the proper officer, to assist in its enforce
ment; if the Court decides it to be unconsti
tutional, it then'becomes the right of every
man to resist it, and to resist it to tho bitter
end." " '
; I have never believed in 4ii higher law'"
doctrine, never thought and never aid that
a citizen possessed the right to. forcibly resist
the executiou of a law, enacted by legitimate
authority, until the same bus been repealed,
orpronounccd unconstitutional by the proper
judicial tribunal.
Vour scne of justice will induce you to
publish the foregoing statement.

far as to ask. its subscribers : to put their
tables on a war footing, whatever that may
mean. It is admitted that the war may
last at least two years longer, and all the
sums expended for smuggled articles are
bribes to the Yankees to continue the
struggle. "As for the moneys given in

the recent conversion of greenback iotes
into the popular Five-Twenty six pet cent.
Government loan at par. is the universal!
ty of the call. We happened in, yesterday,
a, the office of Jay Cooke, who is the
agent for the. side of these loans, and the
conversions of the greenbacks-, and fonud
his table literally covered with orders
and accompanying, drafts for - almost all
amounts, from five thousand to ahuodrcd
thousand uollars'cch, and from all parts
of the.Union: The little States of Dela
ware and New Jersey are free takers, as
are also Pcunsvlvunia, New York and the
New England States. Rut the West is
most especially an active tiker, .as -well
through her Iauks as' by individuals.
The amount of orders lying before us, all
received during the day, amounted to
over- fifteen hundred llcousund dollars.;
With this spontaneous proffer of money',
Secretary Cha must feel himself entirely
at case, and will tirke care to put himself
beyond those money sharpers, whose chief
tmK' is how to rrofit themselves most
from the troubles of the country and the
necesities of the treasury. There are
millions of dollars lying idle all over the j
country, aud while the nncertainty existed j
as to what Conaress would do, and the
oftbulliou brokers were successful in running
np gold to the discredit ot the Ooveru
mcnt issues, this capital was clutched
close. Rut as the policy rnd mea.-uresof
the Secretary of the Treasury are gradu
ally developed, confidence in the Govern
ment and iu the future is strengthened,
and holders are iiowanxiousto make their
lonir unemployed means prvductive
hence the ready and liberal investment iu j
the lMve-T-.ventv loans at par. Almo.-t ,

couutry has individual holders of money,

takers cannot be foend. Mauy of tho.-e
aie now investors in these loans, ; and the
number of such is likely to increase, until j
the deniaud shall put all the Government '
loans on a par with, at least, the loans of
thc-various incorporated'eompanies. The
country banks are also free takers lor
themselves aud their customers. Ou the
1st of July this Five-Twenty Year loan
will, under the law, be withdrawn. -

Dear SVr: I see by our papois that you

Loau called "Five-Twenties." I expect
to have shortly a few thousand; dollars to

that the Government Loans are sale and
good, and that it is my duty aud interest,
at thistime, to put my money iuto' thcni
in preference over any other loans or
stocks, I write to get information of you
as follows :
1st. Whv are thev called "Five-Twenties

only Leal Tender Notes, or will a check j
on Philadelphia, or New 1'ork, answer-
for Subsciiptions :
3d. Do you Bell the Ronds at Par?
4th. As I cannot comedo Philadelphia,
how am I to get the Ronds ?
5th. What iutcrcst do they pay, and
how and when and where is it paid, nnd
is it paid iu Gold or Legal Tenders? -
ia""Cth. How docs : Secretary Chase, get
enough Gold to pay this Interest ?
7th. WHl the face of the Ronds be paid
in Gold when due ?
8th. Can I have th Ronds-payable to
Dearer with Coupons, or registered and

l)th. Whut sizes are tho bonds ?
10th. Will I have to pay the same tax j
on them as I uow pay ou my Railroau,or
other Ronds ?

year or two longer ?
12th. Will Secretary Chascget enough
from Custom House duties aud Internal
Revenue, Income Taxes, &c , &c.t make
it certain that he can p;ty the Interest

pear Sir: Your letter of the "0th
init., is received, and I will cheerfully
give 30U the information desired by
auswering your questions in due order.-
1st. These Reads are called "Five
Twenties" because, Vhile they arc Ucr.nty
year bonds, they way be redeemed by the
Government in GOLD at any time after
five years. Many people suppose that the
Interest is only 5.20 per cent. This is a'
mistake; they pay SIX per cent. Interest, j
..2d.. Leiral Tender notes or nhopt noun ;
Philadelphia or New York that willbrin 'l
Lcjial

The Ronds pay Six per cent. ID.

months, on the first day of May Rn4
November at tbe Mint in Philadelphia

elsewhere. If you have Coupon lVjnds
all you have to do is to cut- the proper
Coupon off each six months, and collet!
it yourself or give it to "Rank for collec
tion. If you have Registered Ronds, you
can give your -Rank-a power of attorne?
to collect tho interest for you.
0th. The duties on imports of all arti.
cles' fmni abroad ronst be paid-in Golu,
and this is the way Secretary Chase gcu
