The Democrat & Seiillvel is evidently
drunken with madness. Week after week
its columns groan with curses loud and
deep- against the "Illinois rnil-splitter"
and the "Tennessee tailor." We are sorry
that it deals in such unlicensed assertions
as it eo frequently gives vent to. Wo are
sorry the Democracy of Cambria county
have no better craclc to expound their
doctrines. We do not willingly seek con
troversy, and yet sometimes silence ceases
to be a virtue. Neither do we desire to
itirup angry debate, or add fuel to heated
passion, bit rather to appeal to the better
judgnient and the understanding of the
pccp!t
- Ia the course of its illy-advised remarks,
the Dem ds Sent, is profuse in historical
allusions and classical quotations, but it
seems io be very unfortunate in some cfli
its comparisons. In a recent number, it
labors hard to show the exact resemblance
between Xerxes and Lincoln, b ut we are
afraid the comparison only exists in its
own heated brain, and not on the page-of
history. For instance, we think it would
be difficult to prove Xerxes a "usurper."
But as we have no desire to retrieve the
character cf a bad man, let us admit he
was a "usurper;" yet where is the com
parison between a kingly government a,nd
a kingly accession and a Republican gov
ernment? "Was not Abraham Lincoln
fairly elected by the suffrages of a. free
people? The Dem. & Sent, slyly hints
that he 'disregarded the rights of his
elder brother, who was lawfully entitled to
the accession." Who was this "elder
brother," neighbor? "Wc. suppose you
will answer the Democratic party. Ex
cctly so ! "That's what's the matter."
This is the Artabazanes whiclj has so long
fed at the public crib this is the "elder
brother" who ought to have lad the lat
offiees; and, just because one little cir
cumstance was in the way, to wit, a lack
cf votes, why Lincoln i3 aXerxian "usur
per!' Oh, logic incontrovertible !
.Then, one Pj'thius is paraded up, to
expose the "cruelty of conscription."
Will tho Dem. Sent, produce the "law
and the testimony" that tho sons of Pyth
ius were drafted? But suppose they
were, where has ever such a cruel deed as
tii is been perpetrated under this Admin
istration, that you have to "go back far
behind the birth of Christ and of John
the Baptist in historical record" for a
parallel? Ihero is also an indirect allu
eion to our army's "ravaging and burning
cities and towns and villages," but not a
word of disapprobation against the sack
ing and destroying of Chambcrsburg ! At
length, Xerxes comes to the "Straits of
Thermopylse," and this, according to our
astute historian, is "Ball Run or Ball's
Bluff." Do you hear that, yc brave
iearted Northern soldier I You are com
pared to the barbarous hordes led on by a
"Ruffian" to "carry on a war of aggression' j
ca neighboring countries, for blood-thirsty
cruelty." But the unkindest cut of all
is, the "Southern chivalry" are compared
to the"Spartars!" Aye, these cut-throats,
guerillas, and traitors are toasted by the
Dem. & Sent, as "Spartans," while the
Unioa soldiers "have not the cause of the
war at heart." Oh, the foul imputation
is enough to make tho heroes dead at
Bull Run and Ball's Bluff turn in their
bloody graves ! We are forced to the con
clusion, after this startling array of mis
representation, that tha caption of the
article in question ought to have been
"History contradicting itself," instead cf
"History repeating itself."
But the heaviest artillery of the Dem.
& Strtt. is levelled against the Draft, and
tho English language is ransacked for
adjectives to denounce it iu bitter terms.
This must have but the tendency to blind
the minds of the people to the object of
the war, to foment civil discord, and "play
into" the bauds of tho rebels. We do
not deuy but the Draft is a eevcre measure,
and, perhaps, one of the most trying
ordeals the Government has been called
upon to pass through since its organiza
tion, but it is a terrible necessity. . We
must subdue the Rebellion, or the Rebel
lion will subdue us. We must cither say,
"Wayward sisters, go in pe'ice," or force
them back into the Union. In order to
do this latter, it is obligatory upon us to
have an adequate army, and if that army
cannot be reinforced by volunteering, it
must be done by drafting. No doubt it
is owing to just such teachings as the
Dem. & Sent, gives that enlistments have
been discouraged, and that now our deci
mated ranks must be filled by the Draft
as the only alternative. . The measure is
hard, but fair, and no puie-miuded patri
ot will object. Our soldiers in the field
approve cf it, and Liberty and Justice
give it their sanction. This Government
belongs to the people, and the people are
under obligations to maintain it in every
emergency. If the national life be en
dangered, the people' must rally to the
rescue. There is eo fairness at all in
requiring the roldiers to do the fighting,
while we stand idly, by and refuse to lend
a helping hand." Neither should one par
ty be asked to furnish all the men. Let
each party go equally into the wheel, and
whoever is drawn, let him respond to the
call like a man. Surely if Jeff. Davis'
tottering Confederacy can support a uni
versal conscription of the male population
from sixteen, to sixty, we can stand the
drafting of one iu five of the male popu
lation between the ages of twenty and
forty-five.' Besides all this, it has been no
new thing to resort to draft in this nation
when we were in peril, and why not cow
when we arc assailed by foes within and
without ?
The Dem. & Sent, is professedly one of
those "peace" journals which advise our
armies to lay down their arms and retire
from the contest. It persistently cries
"War can never conquer a peace;" as if
war 7iad never conquered a peace ? We
beg leave to differ with our worthy cotem
porary. We believe there is no way to
an honorable peace but through the arbi
trament of the sword. Should wc pur
chase peace at the price of the nation's
integrity, and even of our national exis
tence? Must we Fend in the white flag
and acknowledge we are beaten, and ask
for "peace on any terms ?" We cannot
even begin to "treat" with the rebels with
out virtually acknowledging their nation
ality and independence. Teacc, then,
according to this interpretation, means
the complete success of the rebellion
the independence of the South, pocscssion
of the lower Mississippi, and a hostile
nation entrenched upon the same territory
with ourselves. , Are we prepared for all
this? No. You insult., the American
people by offering them such a peace as
this. We have the ultimatum of the
South, which is "independence or exter
mination," and, if we are driven to this
fearful alternative, it is our duty, in the
sight of God and humanity, to give them
the latter.
The Dem. & Sent, has pretended to be
very much in favor of a "peace" candi
date for President, and gave certain sig
nificant warnings that if the "coming man"
was not according to its hking, it would
throw its powerful influence against him,
which, no doubt, would bo a precursor of
sure defeat! It is bitterly opposed to a
"Constitutional war." What will it do
now with "little Mac," the author of a
certain West Point oration brimming full
of ''suppression" and "personally pledged in
all honor and fidelity" "? complete the
tcorh thus begun " We wish our neigh
bor to tell us whether he ranks M'Clellan
as "a political gorilla, called a Democratic
war candidate," or not? And we wish
all good Democrats everywhere, who are
in favor of the pro?ecutionof the war, to
remember that the Dem. & Sent, calls them
"rolitical gorillas."
But enough. The people have ordained
that the Union shall live, and it will come
out ot this fiery ordeal unscathed, in spite
of tho machinatious of the Dem. & Sent.
and similarly disposed politicians. Trea
son must be crushed law and order main
tained, and the integrity of our free in
stitutions vindicated. "" '

This Is What Came of It.
The Democratic National Convention
met at Chicago on the 29th ult. Tho at-
attendance was large, and they had a gay
time of it for three days. Barring a tew
rough-and-tumble fights in the body of
the Convention, between men of one bias
of mind and men of another, no serious
disturbance occurred. " As Gen. Hunter
was in, the city cay on tho 26th, perhaps
he declared martial law and shut up all
tho shops wherein "suthin-to-take" was
wont to be sold, prior to the assembling
of the - Convention. If so, this wiliac
count for the unusual quietude reigning
in the wigwam. The "set-to" between
3Ir. Delegate Iarris and somebody else,
however, wheiein the somebody else cal
led Harris a traitor -Harris had just tnade
a speech denouncing General M'Clellan
as a tyrant and a rascally fellow, and
wherein Harris retorted by knocking the
somebody else down, was worthy of the
palmiest days of boomerang and border ruf
fianism. Harris is evidently a hunky boy,
and competent to travel by himself where
muscle is required to make the journey.
We hurrah for him ! But for the man
who suffered himself to be knocked down,
and that, too, by one who dared denounce
the immaculate, trie dear, the lovely
Micklennan as a tyrant, and so forth, wc
entertain only feelings of the loftcst con
tempt! .
Well, the Convention met on the 29th,
when Hon. William Biglcr, of Pennsyl
vania, ("who commenced life as a prin
ter,") was elected temporary chairman.
He was afterwards unceremoniously kicked
out, and Hon. Horatio Seymour put in as
permanent chairman. A string of Vice
Presidents and Secretaries as long as a
Connecticut pumpkin-vine was also ap
pointed. On the SOth, the Platform of
Resolutions was read and adopted. Those
who have curiosity in that direction will
find this production elsewhere in to day's
paper. It will not ail to be noticed that
it utters not one single word in condem
nation of the slaveholders' rebellion. On
the 31st, Gen. George B. M'Clellan, who
is a warrior without a laurel and-a politi
cian without a name, was nominated for
the Presidency. The first ballot stood
M'Clellan, 1G2 ; scattering, G4. On the
second ballot, M'Clellan had 202 to
Seymour 23 J. At this juncture, Seymour
magnanimously went under, and tho nom
ination of George B. wa3 maie unani
mous. Eight candidates. were nominated for
Vice President, who received on the first
ballot the following vote:
James Guthrie. CjJ
G. II. Penaieton. 54
I). W. Voorhees,' 13
George W. Cass, 2G
Augustus Dodge, 9
J. D. Caton, 13
Governor Powell, 32
John S. Philips, 8
Blank, 1
On the second ballot, New York cast
her entire vote for Pendleton ; whereupon
the other candidates were withdrawn, and
he unanimously nominated.
This is a very brief but a very cor
rect summary of the doings of the Con
vention. We will not just now enlarge
thereupon further than to say that George
B. M'Clellan is a man holding avowedly the
same political opinions embodied in the
person of George W. Woodward, who was
beater, for Governor of this State last fall
by a trifle of fifteen thousand votes, while
George II. Pendleton is the prototype in
deed of Vallandighanir They will both
be elected this fall to stay at home !

Atlanta.
This great stronghold of the enemy
this backdoor of the Southern Confedera
cy 13 ours ! By an official dispatch from
GeD. Sherman, we have the glorious in
telligence that on the 1st inst. he attacked
the enemy at Jonesboro and signally de
feated him, 'carrying his works, with ten
guns- and 1,500 prisoners. The rebel
Hood, finding his case worse than hope
less, blew up his magazine, destroyed a
large amount of munitions of war and
other property, and retreated. Gen.
Slocura immediately occupied the city
with the 20th Corps, so that Atlanta is
now ours, and "fairly won." The rebel
loss in the affair is placed at 2,500 ours
at 1,200.
Daylight begins to. shine through !
The rebels played a deep game for a high
stake and have lost. The fall of Rich
mond to them would be no greater calami
ty than the fail of Atlanta is. Thesaying
is worn threadbare, but the back-bono of
the rebellion is now indeed, broken.
Courage, Union men ! the end is not far
off!

SrIn view of the recent signal victo

TIic Emancipation Proclama
tion Saved us from a. Foreign
War.
The special correspondent of the Chi
eago Tribune at Nashville, communicates
the following valuable intelligence on the
; influence of the Emancipation Proclama
tion :
In the fall of 18G2, Rev. Jessie Fer
guson, a man of p.easing address, and with
exceedingly seductive power of speech,
and who had left this city when it was
i occupied by the Union troops, left on a
mission to Luropc, (which, thougu not
'official,' at least received the sanction of
Jeff. Davis,) for the purpose of aiding in
securing a recognition from England and
France. - On arriving he had several com
munications with leading rebel sympathi
zers in England, and finally asked an in
terview with Palraerston. He refused all
communication with him, nut authorized
his private secretary to confer with Mr. Fer
guson, and learn the nature of his mission.
. rMr. Ferguson was accordingly sent for,
and laid his desires before the Secretary,
who, without committing his master, ap
pointed a second interview, at which he
stated he would communicate Lord Pal
merston's answer. The time came, and
and with it the decision of the British
Cabinet. They told Mr. F. that Mr.
Lincoln had just issued a preliminary
emancipation proclamation ; that the war
on the part of the North was for anti
slavery; on the part of the South for
slavery; and therefore England could not
interfere for the Confederates, as it would
place England in a false attitude, and
would create such dissatisfaction among the
people that the ministry could not retain
power for a day. He staled that the
English people were essentially anti-slavery;
that they, had been taunting the
Americans with the crime of slaveholdinir
these many years; that they had emanci
pated their own slaves; and bow to inter
fere for a people confessedly fighting for
slavery, and against freedom, would be u
act which no English Ministry dare- at
tempt, however great their sympathies
were with the Confederates, and however
great their desires for a severauce of the
Union. .
Mr. Ferguson then stated that the South
had determined on independence, and
were prepared to sacrifice anything to
secure that object; but it had commercial
grievances enough to justify the existing
revolution.
"Prove that fact," said the Secretary,
"by abolishing slavery, and that moment
we will interfere in your behalf."
Mr. Ferguson then explained that his
visit was not official, but that he under
stood tho sentiments of the Southern
leaders pretty well, and he would return
and bring the matter before the Rich
mond authorities, and this he accordingly
did.
Mr. Davis, on hearing the statement,
seemed chagrined at the nature of the
demands - of the En:lish Cabinet, and
complained of its. duplicity, and finally
refused to do anything ia the matter, as
the institution of slavery was uuder the
control of the States, and he could not
bind them by treaty. -
Having become satisfied that there vras
no hope from outside assistance, and con
scious that the Confcdera?y could not
maintain itself, Mr. 1 erguson last winter
returned to Nashville, and "took the
oath." but made no revelations, except
Confidential ones, relative to his European
mission. Some of his friends, however,
betrayed him, and I am now in possession
of the leading facts, which are precisely
as giveu above. .
From this we can perceive how narrow
ly we escaped war with England and France
the Emancipation Proclamation alone
saving us.
A Humiliating Letter.
The Lockport (N. Y.) Journal publish
es a letter written by James Buchanan to
John Tyler,' President of the "Peace Con
vention, on the 22d day of February,
1SG1. The original was taken by Capt.
W. II. Long, Assistant Adjutant General,
from the house of John Tyler, near Charles
City Court House. It seems impossible
to conceive that a President of the United
States would so humiliate himself and his
country by apologizing to one of his coun
tryman for allowing one or two companies
of regular troops to participate in the ccl
bration of Washington's birth day. But
so it is. The letter is as follows :
"Washington, February 22, 1SG1.
"My Dear Sir : I found it impossible to
prevent two or three companies of the
Federal troops from joining in the pro
cession to-day with the volunteers of the
district without giving serious offense to
the tens of thousands of people who have
assembled to witness the parade.
"fheday is the anniversary of Washing
ton's birth, a festive occasion throughput
the . land,' and it has been particularly
marked by the House of Representatives.
"Xho troops everywhere else join in
such processions in honor of the birthday
of the Father of our Country, and it would
be hard to assign a good reason why they
should be excluded from the privilege
in the Capital founded by himself. They
are here siniply as a posse cornitatus, to aid
the civil authorities in case of need.
Besides, the programme was published in
the National Intelligencer of this morning
without my personal knowledge, the War
Department having cousidered the cele
bration of the National anniversary by
the military arm of the government as a
matter of course.
"From your friend, very respectfully,
, ' . "JAMES BUCHANAN.
"President Tyibb."
TViicrc Tlaey Stand.
The Democratic National Convention
which gathered at Chicago on the 29th of
August, and presented the names of Geo.
B. M'Clellan for President, and George
H. Pendleton for Vice-President, agreed ot
and adopted the following -
PtATFOEST.
Resolved, That inthe future, as in the
past, we will adhere with., unswerving fi
delity to the Union under the Constitu
tion as the only solid foundation of our
strength, security, and happiness as a peo
ple, and as a framework of government
equally conducive to the welfare and pros
perity of all the States both Northern and
Southern.
Resolved, .That this Convention does
explicitly declare, as. the sense of. the
American people, that, after four years of
failure to restore the Union by .the expe
riment of war, during which, uuder the
pretense of a military necessity or war
power higher than . tho Constitution, the
Constitution itself has been disregarded in
every part, and public liberty and private
right alike trodden down, and the material
prosperity ot the country essentially im
paired, justice, humanity, liberty, and the
public welfare, demand that immediate
efforts be made for a cessation of hostili
ties, with a view to an ultimate Conven
tion of all the States, or other peaceable
means, to the end that at the earliest prac
ticable moment peace may be retored on
the basis of the Federal Union of the
States.
Ri.aolccd, That the direct interference
of the military authority of the United
States in the recent elections held in
Kentucky, Maryland, Missouri and Dela
ware, was a shameful violation of the Con
stitution, and the repetition of such acts
in the approaching election will be held
as revolutionary, and resisted with all the
means and cower under our control.
' Resulced, That the aim and object of
the Democratic party i to preserve, the
Federal Uniuii aud the rights of'theStates
unimpaired; and they hereby declare that
they consider the Administration usurpa
tion ot extraordinary and dangerous pow
er not granted by the Constitution, the
subversion of the civil by military law in
States not ia iusurrcctiou, the arbitrary
military arrest, imprisonment, trial at:d
sentence ot American citizens in Suites
where civil law exists in full force, the
suppression of freedom of speech and of
the press, the Genial of the right ot asylum,
the open and avowed disregard of State
rights, the employment of uuusual test
oatli3,aud the interference with aud denial
xf the riht cf the people to bear arms,
as calculated to prevent a restoration of
the Union and the perpetuation of a gov
ernment deriving its just powers from the
consent of the governed.
Resolved, Thut the shameful disregard
of the Administration to its duty in re
spect to our fellow-citizens who now and
long have been prisoners ol war in a suf
fering condition, deserves the severest re
probation, on the score alike of public in
terest and common humanity.
Resolved, That the svmpathy of the
Democratic party is heartily and earnest
ly extended to the soldiery cf our armv,
who are and have been in the field uuder
the flag of our country ; jind :n the event of
our attaining power, they will receive all
the care and protection, regard and kind
ness, that the brave soldiera of the Repub
lic have so nobly earned. .

The Richmond Dispatch, in June, 1SG2,
had the following editorial statement:
"A MILITAET ADVEXTCREn.
"In the early part of this war, Gen.
M'Clellan wrote to a distinguished officer
in the South erprtssliHj his desire to serve
in the. Confederate army. It he dare deny
the fact and his receut reports prove that
in mendacity he istherepresentatirc man of
the Y'aukee nation it can be demonstra
ted by such evidence as will closti his lips
in eternal silence. When he was at West
Point, he affected to fraternize especially
with those from tho South, and to have
little sympathy with thpse from his own
section. We dare say this was genuine,
and that he really was anxious to serve
under Jeff. Davis in this war, but the hich
bribe offered by Lincoln "was too much
for his easy virtue. lie was not tho man
to sacrifice interest to sentiment, and of
late has shown a disposition to become as
extreme in his antagonism as iu his friend
ship tor the South."
The above was opied into the Tribune
of June 25th, 18G2, as iuto many other
journals of the loyal States. Did Gen.
M'Clellan ever authorize a denial of its
main allegation Y We never saw any.
The challenge and threat of the Dltpatch
certainly required some sort of notice. If
any was ever taken, the fact has escaped
our observation.
The Richmond Whig copied the above,
and added :
"Alter the battle of Rich Mountain,
both M'Clellan and Rosecrans declared to
Confederate officers, who were prisoners ol
war, that thry icould much rather be leading
an army ngainst Massachusetts titan 17r
ginia: This oan be proved by unimpeach
able authority if denied. This boasted
soldier aud "gentleman" of the North is
as much a hireliug and adventurer as any
Hessian in his ranks. If he has any con
science, it rebukes him daily for the base
work in which he U employed. When to
the pangs of remorse is added tho sharao
of defeat, hi3 condition will bo such as
even an enemy may pity."
Of course we receive these, statements
with considerable allowance. What was
said to tho captive Rebel officers was prob
ably to this effect that, being Democrats,
and hostile to Abolition, they would hare
preferred to put down ' any anti-Slavery
rebellion in the East rather than a pro
Slavery one at the South. It was, though
not treasonable, an improper remark under
the circumstances, for it intended to ais.
lead the rebeh into a belief that oar
army officers were at heart on their side
We presume likewise that the Z?tWj(
makes the most of M'CIellan's letter ta
distinguished officer in the South," bst
that he wrote one, and that it was impel,
led by sympathy for the slave-holders, evea
though in rebellion, we have no manner cf
doubt. Nor can we doubt that it tended
to encourage and strengthen the Rebels
bv convincincr them that, in the fi.ri,.u-'
were rushing into, they Fould have tht
effective tympathy, if not the active co
operation, of, our ..West Point graduates
with few exceptions. '

made its story out of whole cloth r--V
