'®|e democrat. HARVEY SICKEER, Editor. TUNKHANNOCK, PA Wednesday, Feb, 24, 1864. 8. M. Pettenglil & Co.—No. 37 PARK ROW NEW YORK, A 6 STATE ST. BOSTOS, are our Agents for the N. B.

Y. are our Authorized Agents to take Advertisements or this paper, at out published rates. Dignified Silence, We have waited with much patience for an explanation ,apology or excuse by the parties implicated in the rascally enrollment of Nich olson Township ; a part of the pa: ticuiars of which, we published afew weeks since. We did not expect the parties to excu'pate thera selves from this bare faced outrage. The truth of our charge, they could not deny. Indeed they well knew there were facts in relation to it, still more damuing, which we bad not yet made public. But judging from the past, we expected the Beet-nosed, Bogus Editor to get up some such tigiuarole as he got up to excuse and befog the manner in which he slipped oft'the tie strap in the first draft. Among ail dog fanciers, we be lieve, the dog that stands square up and gnaws off the rope is regarded as far more h nest, than the whelp, which by cringing back, slips the noose from his neck. The latter style seems to be most natural for the aforesaid ruby nosed animal. We charged him with having knowingly, deliberately, and wilfully printed a bogus and false enrollment list whereby certain of his political fi lends might save themselves harmless and f. rce others to take their places in the great " Lottery of death" about to c me off We made this charge, with a full knowledge of ouj* accountability, civil criminal or other wise. We knew too that Democratic presses had been destroyed, and editors imprisoned for exposing abolition iniquities. We were not forgetful of the high official positions of the parties implicated nor were we unmind ful of tho fact that " Loyalty," a word that covers a multitude of sins, was their shibo leth. Billy it it true, charges us with being a rebel Ac; but this does not at all explain this bogus enrollment business. Nobody, we hope, will be 6illy enough to assert that even rebels do not sometimes tell the truth Many people, indeed believe them to be ... quite as honest and veracious as abolition editors, and some Marshals they know of. Not a word can we get from hun about the bogus enrollment list. It is probable that , the perpetrators of this rascally outrage ; think their professions of " Loyalty" a suffi cient excuse for any wrongs they m-iy choose to perpetrate on tho honest people ; who, will only have the barren satisfaction of knowing that they are wronged ; with the galling reflection that the guilty perpetrators, are so much above them in official position, and professed " loyalty" that they can ccin tuit wrongs with impunity. Perhaps Billy may think, that as he is nothing but a poor, pusillanimous, contempti ble half starved printer, no blame should be attached to hitn for meiely printing thise bogus lists. We will admit that he was nothing but a tool in tho hands of operators who had more brains than he ; so too, might be the possessor of the dies and the press upon which forged bank notes were priuted with the knowledge and consent, and for profit. Under tho law, the oilterers and passers of such notes would be suit to the Slate Prison; and the poor printer would be sent to the Penitentiary. Both thei-e estab lisbments are under the same and the terms synonymous, at least in Pennsylvania. Having indicated the place where these ra&culs belong we leave them for the present ; hoprng shortly to hear from them through their abo lition organ —or the fralei. The Exodus. The prospect of the draft on the 10ib of next tnonth and the liberal bounties offered in New York and New Jersey for volun'eer*, has drawn away hundreds of young men, from the northern part of this state. More than enough to havo filled the quota of our Borough, have gone from it within the past two weeks. They will doubtless be accredit ed to the districts in which they enlist and receive bounties. If (as under the laie con scription act it seems probable) ever}' dis trict will bo obliged to fill its quota, without regard to exemptions from disability, absence, or otherwise ; there should be a new enroll ment, in order to arrive at the just number to be drawn. It would certainly be unjust to draft from a district on the supposition that there wire fifty sound men in it, when j ail but twenty-five bad enlisted and eone ! sway since the enrollment; and then by i subsequent drafts to exact the full number fixed on by that supposition. There seems to be much difficulty and doubt as to many points in relation to this ' whole business of the draft—where men will ! be credited—what men be credited. &c., are ' matters as rooch unknown to the people as ! if they lived in a government whpre written 1 laws were unheard of, and tne incoherent ! babble of a capricious derpot was the law, Others may be able to look" in to this Jagger nautal mill-stone ; but for ourselves we are f rve to confess our utter Ignorance of its ratfc.'*( j j action* We have not the leat doubt, that if the people had been informed on these points as they might have been ; a majority of the dis trict# in this county would hare filled their quotas, and saved scores of men for the ser vice of tkeir native state. To keep the masses as much in doubt and ignorance as possible, as to the transactions and requirements of the par'y in power, seems te be its settled policy. Woo to a people who have a joking buf foon ard thimble rigging juggler for a ruler. "Au Eye for au Eye and a Tooth for , a Tooth.'' We have already noticed the destruction of the Northumberland Democrat printing office by a mob, hounded on by disunion Loyal Leaguers. Since then two or three other newspaper establishmen s have been more or less injured by nubs of similar char acter. Among the number the Ohio Eagle, published at Lancaster, in the south eastern part of the State. In this instance, however. Democrats retaliated by attacking and de stroying the dwellings of the leadings fanat ics of the town. This in accordance with the Mosaic law. As the Abolitionists—preachers and iav men—have repudiated the Christian dispen tion, they will have no cause ef complaint if Democrats fall back upon tho old Testa ment doctrine and demand an " eye for au ! eye Rtid a tooth fur a tooth." The people of Lancaster were wise in their selection of vic tims for retaliation. We might point to instances where mobs have been hounded on by printers and editors, but as a general thing the responsibility belongs to sneaking, cowardly Abolition Leaders, who may think themselves 6afe, but who may n 115.00( 153 23 ! 1861.
