Wednesday, Nov. 12, 1 862 Oca SUBSCRIBERS are reminded thart next week is court week, and as Jurors, Consta bles, and Justices of the Peace, from all {farts of the county, will be in attendance; a good opportunity will be afforded them to send the amount of their subscription along. Our friends afe also requested t6 bring iu the dames of all the responsible, paying subscri bers that may be induced to take our paper. A little effort by each man in his own neigh borhood, wouid soon siim up our list to what it ought to be. The time for argument with mfen as to the necessity of sustaining the Democratic local press, and thereby Demo cratic principles, has passed. Every man tOOfft abw know that to be a necessity. That wc Cantfot piibhsh a paper without pay, also needs no argument. We have beeu publish ed to as poor, by Mr. Tiffauy, who " pays tax" (over the left,) on property worth at least " fifteen hundred dollars."— In this charge he came nearer the truth than he has for months before, except where he, in the same article, gravely charges us with paying our debts. To all of which we plead guilty.. We wish these wild Babes, who throw such heavy bomb shells, didn't live in a thinner " glass house" than ours. THE ELECTIONS in New York, New Jer sey, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois have gone demo cratic—with ladgt* gains in Michigan, Minne sota, lowa and even Massachusetts. The next congress will have a majority of what the abolitionists call " Breckenridge Demo crats," Breckenridge, it seems is far more popular in these parts than he was in l®fi9. Then, old Abe beat him by hundreds of thous aid's. Hut-tut-tut-tut Tiffany ! Don't for Heaven's and your own soul's sake tell any more lies about that tax. Hav ing told one big black one on the day of elec fidtr, f trti have considered it necessary in or der to e£sfain that SWsy, to tell half a -Core riiore of little while ones. Yon know or, ought to hate kr.oWi before doing ss you did that that worth at feast fifteen han ded dollars in Luzerne County," was ntver assessed to you ; and that you never paid one cent tax on it. We know from the records in that county which have been examined, that it was never assessed to you. J. W. Tiffany, it is true, has for a year or two past paid tax on a property valued at about S2OO ; but the payment of a small tax by him does not enti tle you nor any of the rest of tne family to a vote. You voted therefore without having the legal right to do so. Now my dear little " babe in the woods," don't further endanger your little soul by adding to its guilt any in >relies about this tax question. Go into an explanation of that venison matter. Own right up. Don't tell any lies, little Babie! That's naughty for a Utile babe in the woods. The High Price Of Paper. The price of paper has risen very fast and very high within a short time past, and is reaching a figure that will revolutionize the prices of newspapers, periodicals and books throughout the country. Already newspa per publishers, in various parts of the dodn try, are putting up the prices ofttheirr r jour nals, and soon all the papers in the country tnust advance in price. Publishers will be compelled to do this to sustain themselves".— The price of paper, which has already advan ed about 40 per cent, must continue to ad ▼ance while the war lasts, unless some other material than cotten be discovered front which to make it. Publishers having the necessary capital are buying up large quanti ties of paper and thus adding another rea son why the article will soon be much High er than at presefrt. Weekly papers that have been and are now p-Jbltshed at $1,50 per an num, will soon be much higher than at present. Weekly papers that have been and are now published at $1,50 per annum, will soon be advanced to two dollars, and papers at other prices iu the same proportion Easlon Sentinel. —' Served llim Right. Tiffany, we mean the one that " hankers" after venison, not the one that is laboring un der the hallucination that he has paid a ax in Luzerne County, when none has never been assessed to him. Tiffany, " Junior" we mean, got a snuff of wild meat on Friday last, and it made the fellow so crazy thai he r.v ed around until a gentlemen, whom lie i suited, took the shortest cut to bring fiim t • his senses, and slapped his ears, whereuj. Tiffany, junior, the venison lover, slunk away like any other whipped puppy. T ■ verdict of all present on the occasi- n Wax " served him right." We remember of T fany " Seignior," as he calls hiiu-ell, brought to his senses on a former occ>t •• " a smart application of judicial boo' ■ his lateral extremity. These are the -nl kind of arguments that reach these pivci little babes. The people have found <>u' .h - fact, and will mako use of them hereafter on all proper occasions. PRESENTSTIO*.— The Democrats of Schuyl kill county have resolved to purchase, by contribution of a dollar to each person, a sil ver service, to be presented to l!k>n. F. W. Hughes for political services as chairman of tU> Democratic State Committee. GRAND TURN OUT OF THE DEMOCRACY, —AT— the Demdcrrtlc Jubilee and Buck Roast. The Democratic Jubilee and Buck Roast, held at tlifs place On Friday, Sept. the 7th, is au event fit fhe history of the Democratic party of this cbunty that will long be reuTem ered. The old ship of Democracy had been' driven from her moorings by the whirlwind of fauaticism. For two long years fihe has been drifting almost without chart, compass or rudder—tempest tossed and racked by the waves of tyrany and corruption, her safe ty had been threatened, and her very exist ence had been denied. This occasion was the gathering together of the crew and passengers after the long and stormy voyage; aud safe arrival in the haven of security, upon the rock of the Constitution, to congratulate themselves aud each other upon their deliv fcrenCe from the dangers with which they had been threatened. Some had been cast away for a season upon the lone Islands of doubt, some had laid hold upon the reefs of distrust. Some had stuck iu the quicksauds of despair. All but the miserable renegade who, through fear, bad plunged head and heels into the dark waves of niggerism, never to rise again had sought the good old ship again, and found her equal to the emergency. What a glad roeetihg was this. None but suob as have felt the crushing weight of tyranny and op pression, removed, can appreciate the feelings of the faithful who met on this occasion.— But to a narration of the events of the day. It is well known that P. W. Redlieid. the ehief of the hunters, had by Proclamation, called the democratic hunters to participate iu the chase, and like loyal men they responded.— Tne Buck was captured. A doe was also caught to keep him company. Three coons, cme of which was supposed to be " that same old coon," was addeal to the trophies of the campaign of commander Redficld and his faithful comrades. These animals were served up at Mr. Wall's Hotel, in the best style of the culinary art—the Coon, of course for the new converts —the Doe, for those who had served a pro bationary season—and the Buck for the faith ful—those who stick to the ship. " sink or swim." About two o'clock a meeting was organiz ized at the court heuce by the appointment of R. R. LITTLE, Esq , President. CJI. A. Gordineer, Nathan Keim. Wni. Mc- Kune, 11. Armstrong, Forbes Lee, Col. Thos. Iloadly. Ilenry W. Fassett, Hiram Ilitchc ck, Z.ba Billing' s , Ahira Gay, and a large number of other gentlemen were appointed Vice Pres idents. John Day and Harvey Srekler were chosen as secretaries. After a few appropiate intro ductory remarks by the President, Ifop. E. B. Chase of \\ ilkesbarre was called, and upon entering the stand was greeted With roundi of applause. He delivered a short and elc-" gant speech in which he adverted to the try ing time?" through which the Democracy had passed ; the gloom that overshadowed our once fair land and of the ray of light and hope that i? now penetrating it. Mr. Chase spoke as one Who feels deeply, as lie must ; having himself been made a victim of the unbridled lawless..?- 1 " anil contempt of constitutional r'ghts ot the powers that now contrail the destinies <>i his eouutrv. Ira M ichel E-q. of Wilkesbarre was next called. lie sai the hardly knew how to ad dress hini-elf to the faithful, he could preach to the unconverted, but to those who were safe in the fold he could see no necessity for a sermon. He did it seems, know how to speak however and Was listened to with great attention aaid satisfaction. Tne close of his sermon was the " Song of the Democracy,'* addressed to Father Abraham which he read amid deafening cheers, at the close of each stanua. This song was written as will be seen, sometime after the elections in this state, In diana and Ohio, but previous to that in New York" At the close of the meeting it was sung by an impronitU choir. E; Wright was called, and addressed the meeting in his peculiarly hippy style, blimlmg w>l, anecdote, argument, and poetry, in such rich and- varied profusion as to en rapture and Chain the audience.. An attempt to furnish anything like adstract of hts ad dress, by us, would be futile. At the conclusion of Mr. Wrights remarks j the President announced that Mr. Mitchell bad s proposition to make to the Meeting, Mr. j Mitchell said that in the present age of civi lization he did not" think it would be proper to dispose of the dead body of Black Repub ; licani.-m without complying with the usual custom of holding an inquest upon it. He ' therefore proposed that the meeting should resolve itself into a Jury of Inquest add he had prepared a Verdict to which he thought they w..uld all agree. He said in looking for prc ! cedents only one ocCufred' fo him that was at all approrriate, and that was the verdict ! of Inquest held on the body of a poor sailor | found lying upon a Wharf bed ly mutillatedj the verdict in that case was, thai he had fall on from the mast of the ship on to the Deck and killed himself, that he then rolled off in to the Sea and was drowned, that he was ta ken up and laid on the Wharf where he froze t v death, and the rats ate him up alive. He ' b- thought the Republican party had as . icauses for it> death as this poor sailor, ami accordingly the following would be an ap propi late VERDICT. - We. 'he undersigned, being sulamoned t>> P W Redfield, Commanaer-in-Chief, to -it a- a Jury of Inquest on the dead body of 'be Black Republican party, after due inves do dud, that .be deceased came to u- death by contact with Abolitionism, that II fell from the Constitution of the United Stale* onto a pile of niggers, that it was then suspended wiih a Habeas Corpus, died ofa disease called Uo.r Populi, and the Democra cy at • it up alive." Dr. Hakes was the next and last speaker. He spoke at considerable length and reviewed ;iomewbat the Jjietory of the past. Head verted to the famous " Falls Resolutions" and of Daniel Dickinsons attempt to set the peo ple of this county fight at the last fall's cam. gaign. lie compared scripture Dick to Dan iel in the lions den as exhibited by the picture show-man, who told the audience that Daniel was not afraid of the lions and " Damn me,) says he "if f believe the lionsVe afraid of Dan iel." The Dr. made one of the best speeches of the occasion and was listened to with deep attention by the audience which filled the Court House to overflowing. Alter whichj the song of the Democracy was sung three cheers for the Union were given and the meeting adjourned. Our report would be very imperfect did tffe not mention the fact that a very large num ber of Ladies were present to grace the occa sion, And participate in the festivities from the eating of the buck, dotfn fo the dance which came ofi at Wall's Union Hall in the evening. The following letter received from Col. Y. E. Piollet o.ie of the speakers invited, was read by the President. from Col. r. E. I*iolle{.

SOXG OF TIfE DEMOCRACY* Addressed to Father Abraham. BY DOI'GLAR A. LEVItS. We arc coming, Father Abraham, Three Hundred Thousand strong, To save you from the clutches of the Aboli tion throng. You've heard from Pennsylvania, and from Indiantia too/ And Ohio has been speaking though' htr ballot-box to you ! The sturdy men of iron, from the furnace and the Mine, With the lloosiers and the Buckeye boys, are wheeling into line r They are marchiDg to the music of the Union, as of yore, And New York is cfiggers should be free ?- But you need not mic& their ravings now, or tremble at their roar— For we'er coming, Father Abraham.- Three Hundred Thousand more ! We are coining. Fatter Abraham, so east away your fear 6: It's the Democratic " slogan" that is'ringing in your ears ! They pretend to call us Traitors ! But we point you" to the bkod That soaks into Virginia's soil—that dyes Potomac's flood— That stains the bills of Maryland, the plaits of Tennessee: Such "Traitors," Father Abraham, this Un ion loves to see ! It's a growing " Traitor" army that is thun dering at your door, And New York will swell its columns with Three Hundred Thousand more ! We are coming, Pather Abraham, tcr.ynidi cate the laws, To hold the Starry banner up—to guard the Nation's cause ! Our Motto is, " The White Man's Right— for this we've battled long— For this we'll fight with sinewy arms, with earnest hearts and strong— For this burst Fort Warren's bar 9 and crumble Lafayette— For this we'll crdsh the Nation's foes, and save the Union yet ! Thus speaks the North! Oh! Abraham, you'll heed its mighty roar,- When New York shall swell the chorus with Three Hundred Thousand ffcorfe ! fecmoial of Gen. McCleilan. Gen. McCleilan, who has so long befell an eye sore to the Abolitionists, has been re moved from the convmatid of thfe Army of the Poto'ma'C. This brave your?g leader ha 3 been taken fr6ra the head of his advancing col umns, and ordered to report himself at the tjuiet peaceful town of Trenton, in New Jer sey. Gen. Burnside being next in rank, takef> command of the army for the present. It rumored that Gen. Hooker will soon succeed him. This removal of McCleilan prodiiCcS inttnsi! excitement in the army, which, almost to a man, is devotedly attach ed to him. It is said that this change has for some time boeff in contemplation, but was delayed for political reasons ; the President fearing that if made before the elections, it tnight prove unfavorable to the Republican party. This objection now being removed, the Hero of Antietam has beert banished to the only northern State, we believe, that cast her electoral vote against the chief magistrate of the nation, and Comii'ander-ic-chief of thfe army. !n so doih'g, rf old Abe," n6 doubt thinks life has banfisbed " Little Mack" ffcm the United States. He will find the removal of the confidence irl the army, in their bri.to young chief, is a work of far greater difficul ty ; and that to supply his place in the affec tions of the thousands whose wants aud wel fare was his care by day and his study by night, is a task that will never be accomplish ed. Of the effects of this change in a milita ry pbsnt of View, Wc can only hope and pray for the best, while we dread and fear that the worst results will flow from if. io remove him at this time, just when his plans were all matured, when his advancing columns were pressing hard upon the enemy, just on the eve of an impending battle, to remove him whose very presence excited deeds of endu rance, daring and valor in his men, that are vvithjut an example in the history of wars— a man whose whole military life has been without a mistake or blunder, and whose ca r'eer has bailed the ingenuity and malice of his detractors, to find in It a flaw, to remove him, we repeat, seems, to say the least of it. bad policy. We shall see. .t Significant Sign ot the Times ■the New York Times [Abo.] in a late nu'nV ber says, feditur'utlly 4; Martial IsvV over thfe entire North is a na tional necessity. if the Governors of the Northern States manifest a factious spirit, the Provost Marshalls. it is presumed, will have the power to keep them in order. If State Legislatures should undertake to interfere with the action of the General Government, necessary to the prosecution of the war, they wll come under the ac'ion of martial law,and if the action of any political party shall threaten to change or paralyze the movements of %be Government, it will doubtless be com petent tor the Provost Marshall in any State to suspend political meetings and postpone elections. If the Constitution of the United States is to be construed according to the ne cessities of a civil war of vast proportions, the constitutions of individual States cannot be allowed to stand in the waj* of its vigorous prosecution. '* Englishmen are in' g*£at frsttole ait the illegality and unconstitutionality of the acts of President Lincoln. Ti>ey have a great tenderness for the Constitution and the laws, and feel very badly that the Northern people while conquering the South, should lose their owh liberties. They tell us that the Presi dent cannot do this and that—that his proc lamation? are only waste paper. They ap pear to hare very little idea ot what the com mander-in-chief of the array arrd of the j l niied States can do'. A mars of firm and j resolute will, with a million of men in arms , to support hiuy, can do pretty Kirch vthat he | pleases. They have to learn that paper eon- j stilutious, however convenient they may be, can be amended when necessary, suspended altogether, and it is no lunger a question in America what this oY that Constitution au thoiizcs, but what is necessary to be done to make of thirty-four States and a vast territo ry one nation." 11ns is so plain as to reuder comment ut terly unnecessary. Let the reader ponder it as a significant "sign of the Times" Democratic Rejoicing in Philadelphia. The conservative people of Philadelphia as sembled in Independence Square, on Friday evening, to celebrate the result of the late elections in Ohio, Indlanna and Pennsylvania. That the result was the triumph of popular constitutional liberty over Executive arro gance and usurpation. The meeting was, in all respects, wurty of the occasion. A dense mass of persons filled the Square, and the ag gregate number of those who were in, and those who were pressing on all sides to get in, must have been twenty-five or thirty thousand 1 . "The vast conconrse was animated by the mosf enthusiastic spirit. iVe Way Some Atroliribbists Talk.
