44 The Government" wants more Wages.
Jibe Ngw York Independent, in a recent num
ber start* the proposition for an increase of
salary for Mr. Lincoln. By all means—
When the financial department of the GOT
emmeut can print money by the cart load
* evcrv day, why should Old Abe" be re
j stricted to $25,000 a year ? Why, that is a
mere bagatelle—a beggars pittance—a com
i tractor coold gain such a sum in a day's
i operations ! To be sure men who have filled
the Presidential office heretofore have not
sought it for its perquisites—but when a
great war is raging—when debt is piled
mountain high upon the nation, it is a " mili
tary necessity" that " the Government"
! should have hia share of the public plunder.
TVon't be modest, gentlemen shoddyites.
llow Will SIOO,OOO do for his immediate and
! personal wants? then create a yearly stipend
for " Mrs. Govfcfnment"—say of $30,000 a
year to keep her in scarlet cloaks, " loves of
j bonnets," Ac., that sue may not, like Miss
! Flora MoFlitnsey, have " nothing to wear."
; Then we must not forget Bob and Thod , let
j them noi want for spending money—we can
j not be too generous to this inestimable fami
ly. Why not get up a scale of salaries and
' incomes for them all, taking for a pattern the
! royal house of England ? Why 6*nould not
jour ''shoddy" conrt vie with that of St.
James 1 Our debt is almost as large—we
have a tax on everything—we are better
than the old dynasties of Europe, for they are
fettered with the " habeas corpus" and such
relics of old fogyisin—they cannot conscript
and drag from their homes, to fight for an
idea, their poor and laboring classes, as can
our " strong" Government—men do not
grovr (at and rich in a day there, fattening
and profiting by the people's misery. Oh
yes: all means incrtase ' the Government's
t
by salary-it would be a fitting and prelimi
nary step to declaring him dictator while the
I war lasted, and then making war perpetual.
Is there anything else " Honest Abe" would
like that Uncle Sam can procure for him ?
Tobe sure, the spltre change of that benev dent
old uncle of ours could be profitably laid out
in relieving the wants of soldiers' families and
making the soldiers themselves more com
fortable this coming winter; but then it
would not show near so well.— Bridgton
Farmer.
M isnamlng their parly.
The abolitionists, who have done their best
to pervert the war for the Union into a war
for abolition, are now doing their best to
shuttle off the name " Republican" and to
figure as members of the "Union" party.—
They call'themselves the " Union party."—
We don't know wV.y, They have no claim
to the name. The Democratic party is the
only Union party. The Democratic party
took upon themselves reproach, to avoid dis
union for the saka of the Union. They were
derisiwl ai'd "Union Savers." The abo
litionists <• not true Union men. They
have change J their name but not their nature.
Any man who sustains the Emancipation proc
lamation—goes for the emancipation of the
blacks in defiance of state laws—that man is
an abolitionist. Ife cannot get over it. It
does not follow that a man who changes his
name changes his nature, and so it is with
politics. It reminds us ot the story of a
married couple out West who had a baby
whom they named Moses. But he had not
been baptized. So some years after when
they had determined to baptize him not lik
ing the name of Moses, they concluded to
re name him Robert. But there was no
preacher in that section of the country, and
they finally thought they would go down to
the river and baptize the boy themselves.
In ducking him into the water they sang out,
"Go in Moses, and come out Bob." But he
was the same old boy after all. So with the
Republican party. Though the name is
changed, they are the same, from Lincoln
down to the meanest provost marshal.—Eds
ton Argus.
Army operations seem to"have dome
to a dead stop in Virginia. Our troops are
once more encamped on the south bank of
of the Rapahannock, and General MEADE, in
stead of being on the front examining the po
sit'on of the enemy, is hobnobbing in Wash
ington With the President, General HAM.ELK
and other dignitaries. It is also announced
that in all probability he will attend the Get
tysburg celebration next Thursday, on which
occasion he will be accompanied by detach
ments from all tho divisions of the army. If
this in true the campaign in Virginia is over
for this year. The recent heavy rains also,
which have muddled the roads and swollen
the streams, will probably compel a suspension
of hostilities for a time, if" not for ihe season.
It may be that these semi-official outgivings
respecting General MEADE'S probable move-
meats are merely to deceive the enemy, and
that he really lutends to cross the Itaf>idan
and Gompel LCF. to give hitn battle ; but stiil
all the probabilities point to the cessation of
hostilities in Virginia.— World.
The Conscription Act Unconstitutional.

Vallandigham.
Some of the opposition are still abusing
Vallandigham. Some few of the basest sort
still harp about that " forged letter," but ev
ery honorable man among the opposition
either backs out from saying anything about
it, or offers an apology for having given it
circulation. The truth is, vallandigham is
head and shoulders above any man now in
the opposition ranks, so far as the attribute
of manliness. The mere fact that he was
most unjustly exiled by a secret Star Cham
ber Court, presided over by a low set of Lin
coln's creatures one of whom once kept a
house of ill repute and is now a fugitive from
justice from the State of New Jersey, while
the principal, the Judge advocate of that
commission, Captain Cutts, has been dis
missed from the anny for lying stealing and
springing upon ? lady EN DISHABILLE at the
Burnett house, Cincinnati, for which he was
sentenced to five years imprisonment, work*
no disgrace to Vallandigham. Nearly 200,-
000 votes cast for him in Ohio proves be is
yet a power in the State. The fact of being
endorsed by such a number of his fellow citi
zens, is gall and wormwood to his foes and
that they feel sore anu enraged over, it is at
tested by the manner in which they abuse
him.
Mrs. liincon's Grand Ball,
The first ball ever given in the white house.
Over eight hundred invitations were issued.
Mr. and Mrs. Lincoln stationed themselves
in the centre of the F.ast Boom, and received
the guests. For one hour the throng moved
in a current: and when the rooms were full,
the Marine Band, stationed in their usual po
sition, began playing operatic airs of the fin
est description at eleven. A large apartment
was thrown open at twelve o'clock, with an
immence punch-bowl in the centre ; and sand
witches, &.C., around it. The supper was set
in the dining room, and was considered one
of the finest displays of gastronomic art ever
seen in this country. It cost thousands of
dollars. The bill of fare was: (Here up
wards of thirty dishes are described.) The
tables fairly bent under expensive luxuries
heaped one upon another. At twelve the
dining room was thrown open for inspection,
and guests passed in and viewed it, prepara
tory to the demolition of the artistic pile.—
Nearly all the Generate in this army were
there* The ladies were dressed in the high
est of fashionable extravagance."—Wash. Cor
Cm. Gazette, (Hep.)
Nero fiddled while Rome was burning.—
Mr. and Mrs. Lincoln give gay and expensive
entertainments while the country is in the
last throes of dissolution, and while the peo
ple are taxed to the utmost to sustain the
policy which is destroying it. " Nearly all
the Generals in tho army were there !" "It

Treason lathe New York Custom Hoime.
j Kxtraordiuary developments have recently ;
• been made in the city of New York. Henry
' I?. Stanton, the Deputy Collector of the Port,
and other prominent Black Republican offi
i eials, have been detected in the act of send
'
i ing merchandize and supplies, in violation of,
the law, to the Rebel authorities at Rich- j
mond, of course receiving large pav and pro- j
! fits from Jeff. Davis's government. Some
' rich exposures are expected. Here we have |
another evidence of the " honesty" and "loy
alty" of some of the Lincoln office holders.— j
: Nothing is too dishonorable for them to do '
:if tlicy can Gil their pockets with money.— \
j Our readers must not expect to find out much ,
| about this real treasonable plot from the Ad 1
, ministration papers. They are too busy in
• hunting up imaginary traitors among the
; Democrats, to give any attention to the hein- j
' ons wrongs that are going on amongst their j
own intense'}- "loyal" Iriervds, and " support
: ers of the government."
What They Me ail.
! This miserable whine that Republicans set
up at party opposition, when they themselves
: are the most intolerant partisans, ever known, 1
is both cowardly and contemptible. If they
| ask U6 not to be partisans, let them cease to
| be partisans themselves for they are in the ;
j administration. They may cry " the country
j and the Union" as long and as loudly as they
please. They mean consolidation, paper money
i tariffs and meddling with other peoples bust-'
I ness. Democracy means strict Construction,
t State rights, gold and not paper money, free
j trade and minding your own business. That '
j such a policy will ultimately prevail wt, have
j no more doubt than we have in the truth of#
the Christian religion. As to the anti slavery I
branch of the Republican faith, the Democra- 1
cy holds it unjust, unconstitutional, unwise,
I unnecessary and unchristian. The Detnocra- !
cy holds that Christianity means self-sacrifice, '
j not insisting ou others making sacrifices.

COMMUNICATIONS.
♦ For The Democrat.
NICHOLSON, NOV. 10, 1865;
MR. EDITOR This morning several wag
on loads of conscripts started from this place
to have their fortunes tested in the grand
lottery now being drawn at Towanda. I do
not envy them their ride over the bleak hills
of Susquehanna and Bradford, for tho air is
filled with flakes of snow, and " old Boreas''
blows his gusty blasts with almost the rude
majesty of mid-winter. It is cold and blus
tering and dreary enough out of doors, and
those who can, huddle around the glowing an
thrancite and feel thankful for the comfort
thus enjoyed.
Winter, with ,! frozen mantle bound," is
stalking into our midst, and soon the winds
will have piped the refiain of the dying year.
The frost is creeping, creeping over the lower
panes, one alter another*. Now it finishes
feathers ; now it completes a plume ; now it
tries its hand at a specimen of silver graining.
Up, up it goes, pane after pane, clouds and
feathers and grams. Ilcre a joint, there a
nail cracks liky a craft in a lacking storm,
but all is calm and cold as death. Clink goes
a forgotten glass in the pantry. The door-
latch is plated ; half hidden nail heads here
and there in the corners, are silvered over
with frost. But what care we for frost or
cold or wind "or storm, as wo gather around
our ugly, heal <h destroying stoves, or si' by
the healihful, cheerful old-fashioned firesides,
—now, alas ! so strangely out of use that they
are mere myths to the present generation ;
but to many of us they are a reality linked
with the fondest, dearest memories of home
and early youth. Cog, back stick, fore stick
top stick and superstructure, all in their
places. The coals are turned from their glow
ing bed between the sentinel andirons—the
old time irons, with hnge rings in the top.—
One of them has rested for many a day, on a
broken brick, but what of that ? Many a
beautiful tree, nay, a whole grove may be, has
turned to glory and to ashes thereon, and
may again, winters and winters to come.
A haniful of" kindlings" is placed beneath
this future temple of flame ; here and there a
c'sup, a splinter, a dry twig, is skillfully
chinked into the interstices of the structure;
a wave or two of the housewife's wand of
power, and the hearth is " swept up." The
old bricks in that altar place of home begin
to grow hi ight, and "as good as new." A
little spring flame, amhitiou6 to be something
and somebody, creeps stealthily up, and peeps
up through the crevices, over this stick, un
der that one, looking like a little half-furled
banner of crimson. There comes auother and
another, and down they go again, the timid
flames that they are ! By-and by they grow
bolder, and half a dozen altogether, curl
bravely roun d " the fore-stick," and up to
" the top-stick," and over tire whole, like the
turrets of a tower at sunrise, one, two, three,
four, five spires. Then they blend together,
a cone of flame. Then they turn into billows
and breakers ol red, and roll up the blacken
ed wall of the chimoey, above the jamb, above
the mantle-tree, away up the chimney it
roves, while the huge " back-stick" below all,
lies like a great bar, and withstsnds the fiery
aurf that beat c agavust it.
The circle of chairs is enlarged : the " old
arm-chair" in the corner, is drawn back ; one
is reading, another is knitting; a third, a wee
bit of a boy, is asleep in the corner; they
look into each other's faces, look beatiful to
each other, and and take courage and are con
tent. There is uot a shadow in the spacious
room ; the frost creeps down from' the win
dows ; the ice in the pail in the corner gives
a half lurch, iike the miniature ice-berg it is 5
and over it goes with a splash. The fire is
gaining on it. The latch and the nails lose,
the bravery of their silvering; the circle
around the fire grows larger and larger ;
the old fashioned fire has triumphed. It
is Summer there, it is light there. The
flowers of hope spring up around it; the
music of memory fills up the pauses ; the
clock ticks softly from its niche above the
mantle-piece, as if fearful of letting them
know how fast it is stealing away with the
hours—hours the happiest, alas ! we sel
d'>m live but once—hours whose gentle light
so often shines from out the years of the
long gone morning, on into the twilight of
life's latest close.
Ah ! necromancers swept the macic circle in
times of old, hut t here are none so beautiful,
none with charms so potent, as the circle of
light and love around the old fashioned fire
I am losing sight of the conscripts, though
Of the thirty-three men, drafted from this
town, it 16 not probable that one will be pro
cured for the service of" Father Abraham."
All have gone forth to their examination well
provided with pleas for exemption, or with
the " green backs" in their pockets where
with to purchase freedom from the perils and
liabilities incumbent upon those who eat the
" hard tack" and wear the raiment of the
aforesaid " Father Abraham." If another
draft should be resorted to, as undoubtedly it
will be, after the sth. of January, some altera
tion or modification ol the present law must
be made, ifit i< the intention to procure men
instead rf money.
There were six car loads of freight shipped
fi'o.u this Depot one day last week, and the
general average has been for a month or more
past, about four cars per day, including those
loaded with lutnber. The shipments of grain
have not, as yet, amounted to any considers
ble quantity ; but the surplus will find its
way into the hands of buyers here. When
prices become somewhat less fluctuating, aud
through them to market.
Mr. Taylor is driving fh? work upon his
mill as rapidly as possible; and, I am inform
ed, hopes to have it in full operation before
tho close of the present month. It will sup
ply a much needed want and be a great con
venience to the entire neighborhoods
Tho bridge at Bacon's is now in a fine way
for completion, at an early day. The false
works are up, and workmen are busily en
gaged upon tho structure itself. The con
tractor, P. B. Baldwiu, Esq., is &n experienced
bridge builder, and will undoubtedly, turn
out a good job, notwithstanding the discour
agements he has had to contend with, from
high water and other causes.
In passing over the road from Factory ville
to Tunkhannock," recently, I noticed that it
was in a most wretched condition, and was
informci that it had been permitted to re
main so since the high water in September.
The bridge across the South Branch was ut
terly impassible, and irr many places the road
itself was dangerous in the extreme. Ido
not know who is responsible for this neglect
to provide for the safety and convenience ol
travelers over a thoroughfare so much used ;
but wherever the responsibility rests, public
notice should be taken of it, and prompt
measures instituted to remedy the evil com
plained of.
The roads in Nicholson are not the best in
the world, but then they are passably good,
and, in the upper part of the township, at least
have been worked beyond assessment made
for that purpose. The Supervisor. Mr. Win.
Stephens has made it his business to look af
ter the good repair of his portion of the roads,
and has in every, particular proved himself
a most worthy and efficient officer.
If you have any wood-choppers to spare
from your neighborhood, good pay and wages
are awaiting thein here, if tliey choose to
avail themselves. Labor of every kind is
scarce and in good demand, except mechanic
a! employments uot common to new places.
A good manufacturing tailor could not tind a
location where a small capital would be more
certain of an adequate reward. A cabinet
maker is also much needed and would find
ready sale for his wares.
Items of interest are scarce as Summer
birds. I promised in my last to date from
another locality, but circumstances still make
me a denizen of Nicholson, and lam thus
compelled to draw from the already nea.ly
exhausted stock on hand.
Truly Yours, CLINT.

High Lite in Washington
A Washington correspondent of the Inde
pendent says : 41 There was a sight to bo seen
in broad daylight a few days ago, in front of
the Presidential mansion, which gave those
who witnessed it a shocking idea of the on
ward strides which the vice of intemperance
has made in good society daring the last few
years. A woman clad in the richest and
most fashionable garments, with diamonds
flashing from her slender fingers in the !ant
western sunshine, sat upon the stone balus
trade, unable to proceed on her homeward
walk without betraying herself. At last
she rose and started on, swaying to and fro,
and yet soon rested again utterly unable to
proceed. The carriage of a foreign minister
passed by—the poor woman was noticed—
and it turned, stopped, took in the lady and
carried her to her luxurious home. For the
lady is wealthy and occupies a high social
position; but she was drunk iif the streets of

The greatest filly of my life was
the issuing of the Emancipation Proclama
tion." Such were the words of President
Lincoln to Wendell Phillip9 last January,
according to the testimony of the latter in a
speech he made last week at the Music Ilall
in New Haven. Before the issuing of that
document, President Lincoln gave it as- his
opinion that it would be of no more effect
than the 44 pope's bull against the comet
and after he had given it to the world he rs
gards it as 44 the greatest folly of his life,"
and did not scruple to so inform one of the
most influential leaders of the fanilical fac
tien who had forced him into the objectiona
ble measure. President Line In has made
many notable femarks since he has been in
office, but none that is likely t<> attract so
much Attention as the above.— World.
