Be Firm !
It would have been stranse indeed if
" Abraham Lincoln could have taken the
reins of government at a time when the
couitry was substantially sold out to trai
tor?, and then engaged in a war the most
gigantic the world erer knew, and not
cenmit some mistakes. - Let it be borne
y mind that the President had no lights
if the past to illuminate his pathway.
. He was obliged to feel his way along to
travel slowly and laboriously over untrav
eled ground. Step by step he thus ad
vanced, with the Union and Constitution
' as his Hole guiding-star, until now he has
emerged from darkness into the sunshine.
Under Mr. Lincoln's administration wc
have recovered to the Union an area of
territory larger than that now held by the
rebels, and if there be any reliance in the
eins of the times, before the snows of
winter there will be scarcely enough of
the "Confederacy" left fur a decent-sized
grass-plot. The President has committed
mistakes, but they were mistake! of the
head and not of the heart. Thesecould
.not have been serious mistakes, otherwise
'the cause of the Union were now a failure,
instead of a grand success.
The only remaining hope of the rebels
consists in the defeat of Mr. Lincoln at
the approaching election. They know,
and feel, and acknowledge that his re
election will be the final blow to their
Lopes of "independence." Even the
Richmond papers admit this. Now, the
great question presents itself to the mind
of every loyal mm will you sustain the
President, or will , you join hands with
the enemies of your country ? You may
dislike some things the President has
done, and you may regret other things he
has not done, but you cannot make war
upon his administration without at the
came time making war upon the cause wc
all love. If you forsake him, you.neces
earily array yourself in hostile attitude to
the government. "We have been wisely
told there is and can be but two sides to
this question. The people, if divided at
all, must be divided into but two classes
patriots and traitors". You must either
work forr er against the goveVmnent.
On the obc hand are a Union restored,
and an; honorable peace which will last for
all time to come ; on the other hand, an
arcy, disruption, and unceasing strife and
bloodshed. Cnoose ye t
We all stand ia danger of allowing our
like3 and dislikes to warp our better judg
ment. ;It is an easy thing for the copper
heads to cry peace, when there is no peace,
and can be none except through stern and
unrelenting war j but because we may not
see things political in precisely the same
light in which they are viewed by Mr.
Lincoln ia no reason we should chime in
with the demand, knowing it to be sense
JkfB ' and, untimely , Peace cannot, ought
'pot, inust not be arrife.4 at except . thro'
V..'
the restoration of the Union, and the
Union will never be restored until the
rebels in aims shall have been humbled
to the dust.
If we fail to support Lincoln, we throw
our influence in favor of the standard
bearer of the very party which brought
this war upon us the Buclanan-Floyd
&-Co. party. Can we, as reasonable men
be expected to endorse, at this late day
the stupidity and the crimes of that par
ty ? Or is it to be for a moment believed
that an offshoot of that party is the agen
foreordained of God to vouchsafe to the
republic a new and better life ?
Be not deceived. . Turn a deaf ear to
the voice of treason. Banish the idea o
forsaking your government in this dark
hour of her necessity. Amid the radios:
elements of political strife, be firm and
decided. Stand like a rock against the
surging waves, for the storm will soon be
over, when the rainbow of promise and
prosperity will re-appear,And sweet and
gratifying will be your reward.

Dlutual Congratulation.
Ihe Dem. & Sent., in its last week's
issue, remarks : "We may thank Divine
Providence we (the Democracy) had not
to send to the State of Maine for a candi
date for Congress, as the Abolitionists
did." The Union nominee for Congress
in this district has been called upon to
undergo considerable personal abuse ow
ing to the circumstance of his birth in an
Eastevn State. If the foregoing extract
be intended as a slur upon the State o
Maine, he would beg to say that, seeing
the Eastern States were the cradie of lib
erty and the birth-place of American In
dependence, and that they now constitute
the wealthiest, most populous anil most
powerful section of the Union, ho is not
ashamed of his earliest home. If it b.e
meant as a denunciation of tho practice o
taking for candidates for office in one State
one-time residents of other States, he
would offer the parallel case of lion. Jas
G. Blaine, a Pennsylvaniau born lately
settled in Maine, who has just been re
elected to Congress from the latter State
for a second term. Saying and offering
thus much, he takes it upon himself to
go further and congratulate the Union par
ty of Cambria county that, through the
goodness of God, they have not been obli
ged to send off to Ballymuckinfilth, Ire
land, for an editor lor either of their party
organs. Their own men those to the
manor born those who, of all others,
must be allowed to possess the deepest
and most abiding interest in the welfare
of the country, are their monitors and in
structors. He docs not dispute the right
of any one fleeing from foreign oppression
to make this "laud of the free and home
of the brave" his abiding-place, neither
does he deny the privilege of a former
resident of Ballymuckiufilth, Ireland, to
become editor here, if he can, but, if
one Hasson, surnamed 3Iichacl, be an ac
cepted representative of these fleers-from-
opprcssion and these men cf Ballyrauckin
filth, Ireland, then he repeats the Union
men of Cambria county are happy in the
possesion of none such as editors, lie
furthermore deposes and says that if by
some mishap one of these Michael Has
sons were now or at any future period
.should chance to become the controlling
ageut in a Union paper in Cambria coun
ty, and in such capacity made it his busi
ness to reproach and malign a man in that
he was born outside of Cambria county, or
even outside of Pennsylvania, he would
1 1 T 1 1 " T
consider sucn jiicnaei nasson an unjusti
fiable, inconsistent, impertinent, and most
ungracious fool and fiat-head, and would
insist ou his immediate and unconditional
banishment to the shades of very private
life for the balance of his natural exis
tence. 'The campaign (for Congress ) is now fairly
opened all the inventive geni us of the Abo
lition editors and managers will-be called
into requisition to bolster up their sinking
cause misrepresentation, falsehood and fraud
will no doubt be resorted to in order to de
feat our nominee and secure the eleetiou of
their favorite, and it therefore behooves our
friends to be on Che alert and guard against
deception." lloll. Standard.
If the "Abolitionists" are indeed and
in truth the unscrupulous and dishonest
fellows hinted at above, would it not, on
the principle of "setting a rogue to catch
a rogue," be a happy idea to put the edi
tor of the Standard on their track, to
nose-out and counteract their .machina
tions t We commend the suggestion to
the consideration of the Democratic nom

Avery few days only remain between
now and election-day, when the people
will be called upon to decide great and
momentous issues. Not an hour should
be lost in organizing thoroughly for the
campaign. Our enemies are up and do

uting documents, and spending money
with lavish hand? Every known device
will be exhausted by them in their wild
effort to secure possession of. the "loaves

noblestcause ever entrusted to man, be
less enthusiastic than theso mercenaries?
Forbid 9, patriotism! We must to work.
Clubs cjpght to be organized at once in

meetings, and. let men of ability explain
to the people the importance of the con

and appeals. The Unio party has noth
ing to fear from a full discussion of the
issues of the day. It is only the men
who have been recreant to their God and
their country that' dare not refer to the
past and its record. Let us show these
men what we can do when engaged in
such a cause as the cause of the Union

We cannot too urgently impress upon
our friends the importance of attending
to the assessments in the different, elec
tion districts. The men who are now in
the field, giving their time and perillin
their lives in defence of the Government,
must not loee their votes by any neglect
of their friends at home to have them
assessed. Have your son, brother or
neighbor assessed without delay, pay his
county tax of tax cents, and send the evi
dence thereof at once to him by mail
together with the Union ticket, or a list
of the Union nominations. Careful atten
tion to this matter will give us hundreds
of votes in Cambria county that will oth
erwise be lost. Union men! do at least
this much for the brave men who are
tightfhg the battles of the Government.

Lincoln Johnson.
Abraham- Lincoln and Andrew Johnson
are both natives of Slave States. They
were born in the class of Poor Whites
which Slavery creates and preserves for
its own convenience. Their early educa
tion was such as it accords to the child
ren of this class. Hence, Lincoln obtain
ed most of his scanty schooling not only
long after his removal into a Free State,
but after he had reached the full stature
of manhood, and was enabled to earn and
plan for himself ; while Johnson never had
any schooling at all, and learned to read
froni his, wife after his removal from his
native North Carolina into almost free
East Tennessee.'
Neither of them could ever have. been
chosen" even to the Legislature in an es
sentially slaveholding community, no mat
ter how-thorough their subserviency . to
"the institution." The. brand of Poverty
and Labor on their brows would hav fixed
them forever . in the humble station of
their progenitors. They surmounted the
influence of Slavery by taking position
outside of its more palpable domain.
To maintain that such men lack ability
or force of character is to hold that repub
lics are ruled by idiots. Abraham Lincoln
entered Illiuois a portionless, illiterate boy,
earning the livelihood of his widowed
mother's family by the rudest and hardest
manual labor, and, within twenty years
thereafter, had become one of her foremost
lawyers and the acknowledged leader of
the more intellectual ot her two great po
litical parties conspicuous in her Legis
lature, her only Whig Member of Con
gress, Whig candidate for Senatorial
Elector, U. S. Senator, Yico President,
and ultimately for President. All these
positions were accorded to him without
contest or hesitation. Wrhen the greac
political struggles of 1840 and 1844 were
made, none other than he was suggested
to lead in the canvass. When, for the
first time, his political friends had a ma
jority in the Illinois Legislature, no other
was thought of by the mass of them for
U. b. oenator, though it was finally found
necessary, in order to secure the requisite
anti-Nebraska Democratic votes, to with
draw him and substitute another. At
Philadelphia, in 1836, his name, and only
his, was presented for Vice President by
thp delegation from Illinois ; and whtn a
candidate was to be pitted against Doug
las for the Senatorial canvas of 1858, no
other name was even suggested than that
of Abraham Lincoln. So in ISjOO, there
was abundant competition as to which
State should furnish the Republican nom
inee for President ; but no one ever sug
gested that among the eminent and hon
ored Republicans of Illinois there was an
other possible candidate than Lincoln.
Andrew Johnson entered Tennessee an
illiterate tailor youjh, poor as Lazarus in
all but hope-and ambition, without a rela
tive or friend who could help him to a
corporalship in the smallest company of
"noodwood mihfia. A few years later
he was a Member to Assembly ; next we
hear from him ic Congress; then Govern
or of his closely balanced State after a
spirited canvass ; for Tennessee was then
preponderently a A lug State, and her
Whigs always ran for Governor one of
their ablest and cleverest debaters. John
son had always been a very ardent acd ac
tive Democrat, and had made himself wide
ly obnoxious to his political adversaries.
11 is birth and breeding were matters of
common notoriety, and the cultivated ar
istocracy of Nashville and the surrounding
region were nt at all inclined to be ruled
by the ex-journeyman tailor of Jonesbor
ough. They could not help themselves,
however: aud . Johnson,- after serviusr
his term as Governor, was chosen to the
United States Senate, where he made
good his position against the ablest and
proudest iu the land. Probably no other
Senator had enjoyed so scant opportunities
for intellectual culture ; but the debates,
in which he freely mingled, give no sign
of this. In the absence of that education
of the schools, which he would gladly have
enjoyed and improved, he had his full
share of the rugged discipline ot poverty
and privation, and was thoroughly trained
m the keen encounters of an active, ardu-
ous public career. JJoubtiess, he leeis
and regrets the deficiencies of his early
eulture ; but who will say that he has nut
nobly supplied them ?
Mr. Johnson, as a leading Southern
Democrat, and a supporter of Breckin
ridge for the Presidency, saw the "Slaveholders'-
Rebellion take form and bodv
under his immediate observation. He
knows it "egg and bird" its impulses,
ideas and aspirations. Nearly every other
prominent Democrat of his State and sec
tion was driven into its toils; he never
countenanced it for a moment nor regard
ed it with the least allowance. He knew
it to be as hostile to the class from which
he sprung in the South as to the "mud
sills" at the North, and he "stood by his
order" like any British Peer. lie ex

Region, and our country would not now

It is a common pro-Slavery cavil that
"You Abolitionists talk of, what you do
not understand." This cannot be said of
Lincoln and Johnston, who wero bom in
Slave States, and have been familiar with
Slavery since they first opened their eyes.

till Slavery declared war on the Union ;
yet he says he never regarded Slavery
in itself otherwise than as he bow does.
"If Slavery is not wrong, then nothing is
wrong' ' says he in his letter to the
Hodges Mr. Johnson was a tacit sup
porter of Slavery until Slavery struck at
the life of his country ; but he now holds
with Lincoln that Union and Peace are
only possible through the final, complete
overthrow of their assailants.

Tlic Terms of Peace Proposed.
The following terms of peace were pro
posed by the rebels through the .Rich
mond Examiner, on the 18th of August,
more than ten days Lefore the Chicago
Convention met :
"Save on our own terms we can accept
no peace whatever, and must fight till
doomsday rather than yield an iota of
them, and our terms are:
"Recognition by the enemy of the
independence of the Confederate States.
"Withdrawal of the Yankee forces from
every foot of Confederate ground, inclu
ding Kentucky and Missouri.
: "Withdrawal of the Yankee soldiers
from Maryland until that State shall de
cide by a free vote whether she shall
remain in the old Union or ak admission
into the Confederacy.
"Consent on the part of the Federal
Government to give up to the Confederacy
its proportion of the Navy as it sto,od at
the time of secession, or to pay for the
same.
"Yieldinsr
up
all pretension on the
part of the Federal Government to that
portion of the old Territories which' lie
west of the Confederate States.
"An equitable settlement on the basis
of our absolute independence and equal
rights of all accounts of the public debt
and public lands, and the advantage ac
cruing from foreign treaties."
The Chicago Convention declared in
favgr of an "immediate cessation of hos
tilities'.' as a preliminary step to peaec.
The tmly logical presumption in the prem
ises is, that the Convention, when it did
this, had direct reference to the terms
here laid down, repeated, as they had been,
by Jeff. Davis' himself, and officially pro
claimed by Secretary Benjamin, as the
only basis of negotiation and settlement.
It would be doing violence to any fair
mode ot reasoning to draw any other con
clusion. The framcrs of the platform cer
tainly so understood it, -and this was the
temper of the Convention itself. Were
the party, with 31'Clellan as President,
in power o-day, separation would be the
ground on which they would open negoti
ations with the rebels.
In this connection we would draw at
tention to the fact that, in England, where
the plots and schemes of the rebels, North
and South, are better understood than
here, this is the view taken of the subject.
In the best informed circles abroad it is
not doubted that the success of the Dem
ocracy would be followed by peace, the
first condition of which would be separa
tion.' This belief is not denied by the
Yallandighams, the Woods, or the open
mouthed brawlers for peace, nor by the
Seymours, the Belmonts, and the Pierces
men who can speak as by authority.
So it comes down to this: whoever
thinks this Government a failure, and
believes it best to stop the war by divi
ding the country, will, as he ought to,
support M'Clellan aud Pendletou. But
whoever thinks the reverse, and is every
where and at all times opposed ato the
above term?, must, of necessity, support
Lincoln and Johnson. ' -
What M'Clkllan Says Privately.
Gen. M'Clellan privately ' asserts that
he is in favor of an immediate armistice,
while his letter publicly proclaims that he
is for t,he war and the Union. This has
been the theme of the New York Daily
Xews for a week past. Gen. M'Clellan
Iras pretended to repudiate the Chicago
platform. If he will now .make it appa
rent that he will repudiate his own letter
of acceptance, tho Daily Xcics, 31 r. Wood
and all the rest who mean what they say,
and say. disunion, will support him. 17-
dtlicel, the Daily Xetcs of Wednesday :
"There are those who would make the
Daily iYeirs responsible for division in the
Democratic ranks. We can briefly and
effectively disprove the charge, and fix the
responsibility where it belongs. Let Gen.
M'Clellan assert publicly, as he does pri
vately, that ho will favor an immediate
cessation of hostilities and a Convention
of all the States, and tho Daily Xsics, and
TFe believe the entire Peace party, will
admit that he stands upou the Chicago
platform, and will give him their earnest
support."
Private dispatches from reliable
parties in New York positively statethat
John C. Fremont has written a letter,
which will shortly bo published, with
drawing his name from the Presidential
contest. He gives as1 a reason for this
step the paramount importance of harmo
nizing all the loyal elements in order
to secure the success of the Gov
ernment in the coming Presidential con
testand appeahr-to his friends in the name
of Union, Liberty and Peace io support
the election of-Lincoln and Johnson.
