The true object of Democratic institutions is to promotd the security, happiness,freedom and prosperity of the people, under a govern ment of their own framing, and under laws enacted by the representatives of their own ehoice.—The governn3eni of the United States is of this kind. • Politicians, ambitious of place and power, and who have for more than thirty years plot ted the overthrow of Democracy, have during all that time been guilty of a great fraud on the workingmen of the country. In the name of Democracy they secretly pledged themselves to overthrow the rights of the Democratic masses. In the name of Democracy they ruled the country for nearly thirty years, for the pur pose of building Up aristocracy who should maintain their power by virtue of their pecul- Jar property. • In the name of Democracy they attempted to matte property in Workingmen—which is the most anti-Democratic kind of property— the great object of legislaiion, to the neglect of the ether interests of the country. In the name of Democracy they endeavored to shut out free workingmen Vora the South, and from the territories by making slave labor profitable and free labor unprofitable and dis graceful- In the name of democracy they held high positions in the gift of the people, which they used only to betray and sacrifice those who trusted them. In the name of Democracy they broke up the Democratic Party, in order to prepare the way for carrying out their plans. And when traitors filled the laud with bloody craves and desolate homes, there are politic ians who called !themselves "Democrats" who are the enemies Of Workingmen under the pre tense of being their friends. In the name of Democracy they advocated a dissolutiOn of the Union. In tbe name of Democracy they declared that the AmeriCan Union was not a Uuiou but a Confederacy.! la the name of Democracy they advocated the interests of traitors who bated freedom, and who believed that Slavery wa:s the true condition of all Labor. In the name of Democrucy they , declared the government had no right-to (Wend itself against traitors. In the name of Democracy they declared the war a failure. In the name of Democracy they sonnlat to disfranchise the. soldiers. In the name of tile Democracy they repeal ed the Tariff of '42, and prostrated the work ingman's interes:s in the North. Iu the name of Democracy they adopted the Fugitive Slave Law and Made of thefree men of the North "hounds" to hinat down their runaway slaves. In the name of DeMocracy they stirred up the :laboring men and filled the streets of NOv . York with bloodshed, arson, and riots, and disgraced us in'the eyes of the world. In the name of Democracy they denounced the heroic. soldiers of the Union els "Bull Dogs and Hen Ifuttraz" who were engaged in murder and arson, and not in a noble effort to save our democratic institutions from dstruc- • tion.

John Van l3uren's nomination by the Cop. Convention in New York, taken in con nection with is frequent somersaults during the past twenty years, reminds us of a story which illustrates well the stability of his character. When his father was running for President the Prince was traveling through Ohio cat vassingthat State. He bad made a speech in the southern part and was going, in company with some political friends, to a large northern town, where it was expected ho woald be the chief speaker. While on the journey one of hio fricude . 6 aid to him that the speech he had jUst made would give offence in the northern I counties and asked him what course he intended to pursue. In a few words be mapped out to him the speech intended for ace northern people. .'But," says his friend, , :tthat is not like your other speech; that is ncit consistent." 4, D---n consistency!

Well, we felt somewhat diffident about discussing his - case for fear our remarks might ;be attributed to disap pointment in not having Hie nomination given to our friend residing,, , in Potter—however this need not trouble the Cops of the other counties. "We are always willing to spend our money where there is a hope of success, but where there is no hope and devilish little honor, ws prefer to be extused."—Our main reason for copying this item is to let our peo ple know that there is another candidate in the field for the Senate. 'Tis true, be is one of the kind called ''soggy," but then, he is not to blame, he is in the same condition with the little contraband who was being twitted about his color, "he was born so."—They had a "banquet"—in other words "a grand drunk' —at the Fallon Hohse, after the nomination. That.was well. We love consistency, and it is j so seldom it is found in the ranks of the Opposition that we cannot help being pleased with it no matter what form it assumes. WHO'ARE THE FRIENDS OF TUE SOLDIERS? The copperhead organs now claim to be the especial friends of the men whom they styled only six months since, Lin coin hirelings." In order to show who the real friends of the soldier are we pre sent a list of the copperhead Counties where nominations have been made, by which the reader can examine how many of the men who exposed their lives to. rebel bullets,haye been put in nomination in•sueb counties. We shall only take such counties where "nominations are considered equal to an election."

It is admitted, on all sides, that Maj.- Gen. - Meade's great victory at Gettysburg saved Pennsylvania from utter devastation and not doubt rescued the, other middle and Eastern States from invasion by an infuriated horde of drunken rebels. The battle of Gettysburg was one of the most brilliant achievements of the,.age, and the glory which Verde won on that occasion was shared by every gallant soldier who fought under his summand. Yet, in the face of these facts—convinced that nieade's • victory had saved the homes and firesides of Pennsylvania, from desolation, blood stain • and polution—it was reserved far the copperheads in tb4 Pennsylvania Sen ate to oppose and defeat a;resolution ren dering thanks to Gen. 'Meade and hie army, for their great service on the battle field. !Re following extract from the Legisbuive Record for 1864, page 24, places the Copperheads in :their true po sition of ingratitude to the soldier : MAJOR GENERAL GEO.
