The Democracy of the 'country, if tem
porarily discomfitted by the use of impro
per and unjust means, is by no means
destroyed or broken down. It is the
same rind and' noble party which for
more than seventy years has upheld the
Constitution and carried aloft the banner
of liberty—the same glorious and reliable
party which throughout our country's
history has ever proved true to history
and the rights of the citizen. Although
overborne for the time being, by usurped
and ill-gotten power, it stiil lives in aU its .
integrity and vigor, prepared to maintain
the Constitution against every tiesault,
and to restore the Union at the earliest
period, by any honorable means within
its reach.
Let not our friends be disheartened or
discouraged' by temporary (!efeat.: Much
as this is to be regietted, it may prove
tither useful than prejudicial to the cause
of the Union. With all the powers of
the general and State., governments at
their disposal, the Republicans assume
the entire administration of the war and
of public ' affairs. Upon them rests the
responsibility of concluding the war, ei
ther by sugeradding the. power of concili
ation or by the power of force alone. Let
them not evade or shirk this respon.
tibility ; let them not hereafter charge
their failure, whether in the military or
financial departments of the government,
to the hostility of the Democrats and con
krvatives, whose warnings.they have des
pried, and whale experience and aid they
have scornfully rejected.
While the responsibility of adminis
tration thus rests upon - their opponents,
the Democracy of the country hays 3 no
lesesolemn and important duty to per
form. They are to labor-steadily and Per
..-veringly for the sound doctrines upon
which our government rests—to educate
the
,public - mind to a knowledge of the
nature of our institutions, and a necessity
of returning to the great principles of
public and individual liberty which alone
~ , in save the nation from utter and irre
trievable ruin. Let no man, therefore,
r.it in his labors. but from this hour de
.: este him4lf anew to thecouutry. There
i... , . there can be. no escape from this
solemn obligation until the Union is res
tored, the Constitution re-established, and
th e ' great principles of liberty again se
(-ired to every citizen. ,

Lent of a point prominent for a long time

"The Washington floverninent having
refused to continue the exchange or pri
soners of war under the cartel, sent the
4oittliern officers accustomed to a tropical
climate to .Tohnson's Island, where 2,000,
of them were confined in wretched guar-
ters, absolutely unfit to house cattle.
There is no reason to doubt that the ofil- 1
oars selected for. this prison were those
upon whom the cold, damp -climate, and
exposure would act most • prejudicially.
It was in fact an attempt to commit mur
der, without publicly incurring the odium
of slaughter.
" In these circumstances the Confede
rate Government determined to make an
attempt to rescue the doomed officers,
and for this purpose an expedition was
fitted out consisting of thirty-six officers,
under the command of one who had dis
tinguished himself in similar dashing en
terprises, and three hundred men. - The
officers embarked at Wilmington, in the
Confederate steamer R., E Lee, -and land
ed at, Halifax. The cotton and tobacco
brought by that steamer as freight were
sold to furnish the funds required, amount
ing to $llO,OOO. - The - men came overland
through the States, in small parties to the
general rendezvous:
.
- "The intention was to surprise the Fed
eral garrison on Johnson's - Island, libefate
the prisoners, convey them'to Canada in
vessels provided for that purpose; and
forward them by Halifax for Nassau or
Bermuda; the greater part of the funds
being specially devoted_ to paying their'
.passage to one of these points..
"Any further operations on the Lakes
were left to, the discretion of the officer in
a i
cowman—, 'whose orders were Stringent
and perem tory to 'avoid a breach of Bri
tish neatri ity, and to take care that even
the semb nee of international wrong
shoed" b 4 prevented. Had Johnson's
Island bee taken, it might have formed
a basis for other operations against Fed
eral commerce on the Lakes ; but the
real object of the expedition was to res
cue two thousand valuable lives from the
cruelty which had devoted them to slow
but certain death in a climate an situ
ation in the last degree inimical to them."

The Detroit "note gives the following :
"The existence of this plot was origi
nally discovered in the following manner :
About two weeks since some of our mili
tary authorities here learned that certain
rebel agents at Montreal were seeking to
purchase two vessehi at that city, to be
fitted for rebel war service in the lakes.
Last week it was ascertained that certifi
cates of specie deposits, to the amount of
at least ''.200,1100, on certain Confederate
banks, signed by Memminger, the rebel
Secretary of the Treasury, and counter
signed by Benjamin, the rebel Secretary
of State, had passed through our Post
office here to rebel agents in , Canada.
These facts, taken together, had a sinister
aspect, and after a consultation with a
number of our prominent citizens, the
facts were communicated to the American
Consul-General of Canada, which led to
the revelations made through Lord Lyons
to our own Government. It will be seen
that the first clue was obtained in Detroit."
Any number -of foolish rumors have
reached us within the week; soine,saying
that suspicious vessels had been seen. near
Johnson's Island, some that the prisoners
had revolted there , and others that large
supplies of arms 'had been found hid upon
the Island. Al! the.se turn out unfounded,
and after much silly conduct,,.we expect
that the - authorities will come to the con
clusion that the public have, that- the
whole thing was a, grand hoax.
The steamer Michigan now Jies off the
Island, and keeps a vigilant watch for all
suspicious characters. On TuesdayOf last
week Capt. Tarter received a dispatch
from Secretary Welles, "directing him to
guard against' a, night surprise, and to
prepare for the defense of the harbor of
Sandusky by the planting of torpedoei in
the channel: This was done. The crew
'of the Michigan
. spect Tuesday night in
planting the torpedoes. Three, tugs were
chartered as picket-boats and sent out,
for the double purpose of watching for
the enemy and minting vessels bound in
against thi4 torpedoes in the harbor: The
Island was also placed in a state of de
fense."
The S!,andusky Registet, published near
to Johnson's Island, makes light of the
panic as follows : . .
" By the Clevelawa papers of last even
ing, and by the telegraphic report subse
quently received, we learn that chi-, devil
is to pay generally about Johnson's Island
and the prisoners there confined !, We had
no idea before what extensive devilment
there was on foot ! The Cleveland papers
have it that a gunboat had left the Canada
shore, was to capture the Island, release
the prisoners, :sack Sandusky and there
after play smash on the lake. The simple
truth is, the alarm originated elsewhere
than here and resulted in the subsequent
Betio% which is, perhaps, all well enough.
There have been no signs here of any ap
proaching enemy, and no suspicious craft
seen about the entrance to the harbor, as.
the Philadelphia dispatchftom Cincinnati
has it.
All the Lake cities have been stirred
up more or less, and troops have been`
sent to each. Major-General Dix is in
Buffalo, and has taken steps -to defend
that city in case it phall be attacked. We
conversed with a number of BElMlonians,
on Monday, and they all looked upon it
as a useless scare. The preparations
made at our own city are noticed in any-
ther place.

The Uleosiugo of Emancipation to the Ne—
133:5
Many fair•miuded . peopl e who perceive
clearly that the President's emancipation
policy inevitably tends to protract the
war and entail incalculable suffering to
the country, are still constrained to sup
port it as a means of bedelitting the long
oppressed negro. We commend to such,
the following view of the situation of the
colored race under the blissful influence
of emancipation. The picture is a min
iature of what is true all through the "em•
ancipated" South. It is communicated
in a letter to the Cincinnati Gazette, writ
ten by Y. U. Thorn, the agent of the Mi
ami Quarterly Meeting of. Friends,' and of
the Western Freedmen's Aid Commission.
'We copy that portion of the_ letter which
relates to the conditiou . of the contrabands:
hismrnts, Aug. 11, 1863.
DRAR FRIENDS- I have just arrived from
Vicksburg, and concluded to return before
going home. I have a lot of supplies on
board the - Luminary, which leaves this
evening. There is the greatest destitution
and suffering among 'the colored people
there that I have heard of. It far exceeds
what I witnessed here last winter. Their
number is estimated at 30,000, though no
accurate estimate can be made in their
present condition; and their number will
probably exceed that: They ire under no
organization yet. The men assigned to
that duty are nearly all siek,and theblacks
are dying and rotting on top of the ground.
-I found them lying on the sidewalks, in
streets, and on the ground around town
exposed to the scorching noonday sun,toi;
sick to get up. They had nothing to eat
for days. Some were surrounded by the
bodies of .others that, from appearance,
had been dead two orthrie day; and were
in an advanced state of decomPesition.
One compatiy of 1,200 had been without
anything to eat for over four days: I ap
proached individuals that were unable' to
raise their heads from the pound, with
the dead bodies' of theit'frierids . close by
them, while they world cast such an itn
plering look intomy face, with "please,
masse, can't you moveme from this place?
I have had nothing to eat for two, three
or ve . days"—whatever the time may have
been 1 wish I might never see again
such scenes. The suffering can't be told.
• Ir ROUND numbers, in 1860, the vote
resulted : for Governor, Foster, 232,000 ;
Curtin, 284,000; making a total of 490,-
000, and a majority in favor of Curtin of
32,0 00 . In 1803 the vote stood in round
numbers : for Woodward,2s3,ooo : for Cur-
tin 209,000 ; total 522,000 ; majority for
Curtin, 15,000. From these figures, it will
be seen that the entire vote of the state,
in the past three years, has been increased
26,000 votes ; of which increase the Dem
ocrats have received 21,000 and Abolition
ists 5,000. These figures show a consider
able dropping of the Curtin.
Tic EMANCIPATION PROCLANATION.—The
highest bid which' has yet been given for
the original manuscript of this document
is three thousand dollars. Strange to say,
this offer comes from that wicked "cop
perhead" paper, the Chicago Time; which
says that the money is ready and the bid
madein all earnestness. Previous to the
Times' oiler, only two thousand dollars had
been bid, that sum being offered by par
ties in 'Maine. '
It is significant that no steps are taken
by the Republican presses, or orators, or
Leagues, to hold public meetings to in
crease and strengthen the army. The
negro, as ever, turns up topmost in public
addresses, and in public excitements—
while dead, dead, dead as yet in public, is
all reference to .the President's call for
2,00,000 more volunteers. .

The Gazette vauntingly quotes 'the following
from a speech of Stephen A. Dongletr; made
in the Senate in 1516, in condemnation of the,
factious course of tne political friends of itiel
thrz'en, to the Mexican wit.:
Patriotism emanates from the,treart, fills
the soul, infuses itself inti; the'irhole man,

and act.for his country, revere his country's;

lfe BUMS up the result of the com ba t as
follows : 'The enemy were defeated, com-
palled to evacuate Pennsylvania and
Maryland, and to withdraw from the up
pqr Shenandoah Valley; we captured 3
guns, 41 - stand of colors, 13,621 prisoners,
and 24,978 Small arms. We lost 2,834
killed, 13,700, wounded, and 6,643 missing.
Gen,. Lee very carefully refrained from
saying anything about his losses ; but
that they were very much larger than
ours, cannot be doubted.
--LOur latest news from the Army of the
Potomac does not indicate any further im
portant movement. 4. Meade is between
tbe Rappahannock and the Rapidan, and
offeiv battle to Lee- There is so far no .
probability that the Rebelti will fight north
of the Rapidan. •
--10rders .havo been received at the
Charlestowli (Mass.) Navy' Yard to con
struct threcilnew war vessels. One, to be
called the "Quinsigsmund," will be iron
clad, with two turrets, and will be 332
feet long, 62 feet wide. 184 feet depth.
and measure 3 200 tons. The others will
be sloops-of-war. of about 2,000 tons each.
They will all be built as soon as passible.
The mat . Ericsson gun is being. put
aboardour gunboats.
—•There have recently been no public
developments relative to Gen. Lee's army,
excepting that the ruin body, of it lies
between the Rapidan and Orange Court
House. 'The Rapidan is strongly guarded
by the rebels. We have rumors of an ex
pected battle, but, like most telegraphic
atatemints, there is no tolling how much
reliance to put in them.
