FOR PRESIDENT IW 1864-
GEORGE. B. MtfM.ELLAN.
Subject to the Decision of the Demo,

We are sorry to be compelled again,
to offer an-appology to our patrons for
nonappearance of the Advocate, which
we promised should he a rccular visitor
to each of our patrons. Hut owing to
circumstanee over which we had no
controll, the paper has hen delayed,
and the principle caue we have to offer
is. sickness of "ii r family lor the last
three wcr Vs. Hoping that those of our
family who have hecn overtaken by d.
sease. mav sneedly be restored to health,
we will aga'n publish the paper regu

Mr.
Chase Supplying
the
Rebels.
If the western Republican press is to
be believed Mr. Chase 8 treasury agents
are quite as active in supplying the rcb
eli with what they need on the Missis
sippi as are his custom-house officers on
the Atlantic coast. The Cincinnati
Gazette proves conclusively hat the
whole system of trade permits on the
river is nothing less than an organized
swind'e npon honest commerce, and
that no one tjnins bv it but the personal
friend's of Mr. CttASK'n political friends,
who hold the offices. The Gazette in.
lishesa lone letter from nn asent of the
Sanifarv Commission, who writes of what
be actually saw in a trip up and down
the Miss;s--ippi. '
We quote an extract :
The oustom is, as T have been credi
Mr informed, for men of capital and i
professed lovalty. or I might say tin- i
doubted lovalty. to procure permits to
trade. These persons sent agents of
doubtful loyalf f. and these again sub
asents. more unscrupulous, and who are
loval to their interests. These men ate
paid ten dollars per bale on all the cotton
they can -purchase at fifteen cents per
pound. Thev proceed to different
points aloncr the river, and establish di
rect connection wi'b guerrilla chiefs
and hands, who. for a consideration, will
afford protection to the cotton which
they purchase. Supplies are furnished;
many articles contraband of war are
smuegled tn and the enemv in this way
are directly furn'shed with that they
most stand in need of. These specula
tors, if loval at home, must need assume
the earb of traitors and rebels when they
go beyond our lines, and, to show their
symnathy, communicate all the in forma,
tion they are in possession of. and abuse
and curse the Yankees to the perfect
satisfaction of their new friends.
The Gazette adds editorially :
It appears from all the information we
bare, that the 'rinss.' as some of the cot
ton speculators are eilled.enterin tnar
rangements with agents of the govern
ment to divide the proceeds of thoir op.
erations. Furnished with permits, they
pass throiish the lines, and arrange with
the guerrillas, paying the latter so much
a bale or pon ml for all the cotton ob
tained, and smn;ling goods through
for their use besides. Thus the mon
strous spectacle is presented to the gov
ernment officials being in partnership
with combinations of speculators, which
keep the guerrillas on the Mississippi
alive, and make it their interest to keep
. together. These outlaws and murder
ers, who are plundering the people, fir
ing on unarme I steamers, and destroy,
ing the property of the government, ob
tain ther principal means of support
from men who leceive permits to trade
from, and are under contracts to divide
the profits of their business with, officers
of the government. This is the most
monstrous aspect of the cae that has yet
been presented, and. but for the con
vincing character of the information be
fore us, we should be slow to believe
that any loyal man, especially a sworn
officer of the government, could be guil
ty of aiding bunds of outlaws who are
murdering our soldiers, destroying our
boats, and robbing private citizens.
This is indeed a monstrous state of af.
fairs ; but is :t not what nJght be expec
ted when men like Cali.icot are delib
erately appointed treasury agents by Mr.
Chase f Congress should look, into
this matter, and, aftei punishing the
guilty, instruct the Treasury Depart-I
meni 10 inrow-open me traae oi tne
Mississippi to all who choose to enter
upon it. TRei rebel would fare bo bet-'
tar than they do under ths present sys
tem, while loyal, -honest traders' would,
at least, have an even chance with the
guerrillas, and rogues. Every pound of
cottoo wt receive helps our financial
eonaition, endvery green. back which
Bods its way to the south in exchange
for it la an appeal to self interest against
tit rebellion. Mr. Chase's particular
friend would cot ' do" so" well, hut the

The Black Republican Can
didates for the Presidency.
The following list comprises all the
names thus fur started as abolition candi
date for the presidency. They are set
down in the order of their availability
and probable chaners :
A"iiaiiam Lincoln, Salmon P.
Chabk, John C. Fiikmont. Nathan
iel I'. BANKH, BkNJAMIN F.BUTI.KII.
I'tAi-A nm .l.rnA imiiiir einnrr-iTs in
! this list, but it lontains no mime that
has acquired distinction by signal mili
tary achievement. Ofthcse three nin
jor. generals two have never fought a
battle, and the military record of the
other is not brilliant. It is clear, there
fore, that, if military popularity is to
enter, as a potential element, into the
prexidcntial canvass, the advantage of
that element will not be on the side of
the Republicans. We proceed to in
quire into the availability of their sever
al candidates.
1. Lincoln. The extraordinary and
successful efforts now making to bring
Mr. Lincoln immediately into the field
as the candidate of the state legislatures
and loyal leagues, would react powerfully
against him if his Republican compcti
tors had any approach to equality of
strength as compared with each other,
n that case, their common interest in
his delcat would lead to a combination
to put a common stumbling h'ock out of
the wav. and sivean open field to the
other candidates. But a the case
stands, to defeat Lincoln would be
simply to nominate Chask; it is only
the adherents of Chase, therefore, that
have any interest in thwarting him. "The
impossibility of forming a combination
against him makes Mr. Lincoln a very
strong candidate ; but the present de
monstrations in his favor should not be
counted for more than they are worth
This concerted movement of the legisla
tures and loyal leagues does not render
him independent of the nomination of
the national convention ; they only in
crease his chances of ge'ting it. If the
convention were to be culled in March 1
or April, Mr. Lincoln would beirresi-'
tible ; if it is deferred till June, it may ,
turn out that he has deployed his forces
too soon, and put them upon so long a
march that thev will have spent their
strength before they reach the field of
battle. This is a mere fitrure of speech.
but a solid reasou is, that the Outs, being
always more numerous than the Ins,
even in the party of p.wcr, and twenty
Outs, on an average, coveting the
I n!ee of everv Tn. it is for the ireneral in-
terest of all the active, working politi
i . .7 ,. .
cians not in office that there should be a
change of administration and a new deal
With Mr. Lincoln as a candidate, the
office-holders would play the presidential
name with loaded dice, as against the
more numerous class of office seekers.
Here, then, is a powerful force which
can be organized against Mr. Lincoln.
and which will become stronger by the
lapse of time for these two reasons :
First. Mr. Lincoln's influence will di
minish as the value of his patronage
ebbs away toward the close of his term ;
and, second, the Outs will come to a bet
ter understanding with each other in
pioportion as casual vacancies, which
some of them mght wish to fill, become
less important. Strong as Mr Lincoln
is, he cannot run independently of a
convention, for should he attempt it he
would give the Outs and the radio ils a
capital reason for supporting another
candidate. The sooner the convention
is called the better are Mr. Lincoln's
chances.
2. Chase. The most formidable
competitor of the actual President has
no chance whatever, except as a con
vention candidate.. Being a member of
the cabinet, he could not, in honor, run ,
mrainfif hia nffininl pliu-f nprlninlv lint iV
"f" - , j
the rcgulat convention of the party had
put that chief in nomination. The ut
most that the proprietors of his position
allow him to do. i to try to carry the
conventiou. Failing in -that, he will
be compelled t support his successful
competitor. Mr. Chask wiM tro iuto the
convention with many drawbacks. The
Republicans count a great deal on the
army vote ; but Chask is notoriously
unpopular with the soldiers on account
of his vexatious tardiness in supplying
money to pay them. He has powerful
and indefatigable personal enemies in
his own party The most vigorous of
these is General Cameron, whose mo
tives in joining the present Lincoln
movement are well understood. Gener.
al Cameron has do real friendship for
a President who wavered all through
thfi winter of 1860 HI as to whether
he would keep the promise he had made
to give Cameron a place in the cabinet ;
who was forced against his will to ap
point him ; who compelled him to expur
gate his second report of its ubolitioiiism
on pain of dismissal ; who finally did re
move him into distatetul but honorable
banishment to Russia. Bur Camkims
harbors a more insatiable grudge againM
Chase than against Lincoln. It was
Chase and Chase's friends who, by
their industrious attempts to ruin
Cameron, kept Mr. Lincoln in indeci
sion throughout the winter after his elec
tion. Cameron has gone into lib
Lincoln movement to pay off old soores
againbt Chase. No man in the Repub
lican party has more energy of character
and there are in that party but one or
two n.ore skillful managers. Tlioe
one or two are not against him. but with
him. No man will goto greater lengths
than he to compass, his ends. With
so much opposition to breast, and with
little but his abolitionism to stand upon.
Chase is just now at a discount. But
still he ib almost the only hope of the
Republican Outs, as against the Repub
liean Ins. The thirst for publie plunder
' tray work wondrrs fot him yt
3. Fremont. The gentleman has
next to no strength as a convention can
didate, as all the other party chiefs have
long had a common interest in his polit
ical death and burial. But he has llie
natural elements of n strong and magnet
ic personal popularity, as is proved by
by bis brilliant presidential campaign in
'of), and by the fact that, despite all the
efforts nf Mr. Lincokn to dwarf him. he
has a devoted personal lollowing. He is
the only ore of the Republican candi
dates who would have the moral audaci
ty to run independent of a regular nom.
ination. Against Chase as the regular
iiomineo he would have no motive to
run ; but as agains-Lincoln lie would
have the advantage of some military
qualities, and the sincere and hearty en
thusiasm nf the ultraradicals. In gen
craroharacter Frcmont contrasts favor
ably with Lincoln in two respects ;
fearless promptitude of decision against
Lincoln's timid vacillation, and intel
lectual and social cultivation against
Lincoln's uncouthness the former
helging him with the multitude, who
always do homage to boldness ; the latter
helping him with the cultivated classes
who are scandalized by luck of dignity
in on exalted station. Fremont's ad.
hercnt s regard him as i. great popular
iuoi, wtio. Dccaiise he is a popular idol,
has been made the victim of jealously
unit .k . .i n . j
and injustice. As between the Outs and
Ins, the fitrmer would find their advao
tage in support'ng Frkmot if he were
elected, and they would hazzard little
beyond the doubtful chnnce of appoint
ment to occasional vacancies if he were
not.
4 and 5 Banks and Rutler.
Neither of these can run except as a
fonvintii.n itdntllit.it. l.A:. ml..
chance, even in that relation lies in the
remote possibility of the convention get-
ting into a dead lock between Chase &
Lincoln. In that contingency the

A Disgusting Incident.
A Washington correspondent of the
New York Esprr, gives the following
u(!.-ount of a recent scene in the House
of Representatives . .
'The House presented a pitiful specta'
cle to day, when the death of Senator ;
Bowden of Yirginia was announced.
After the customary eulogy from a Vir
ginia member, a Republican member
from the West got up, not sober, if not
drunk, and begon all sorts of gyrations
and gesticulations, which soon indicated
that if he hearing that the Republicans
claims all the religion and all the educa
tion, and all the learning, and that
hitherto not even fchveholding barbari
ans have even presented this sort of a
spectacle in Congress, we may doubt
whether Abolitionism is really refinement
and civilization. Another Republican
member shuffled him off, and relieved
the I!oue from speotacle."
It is curious to observe how careful
our telegraphic agents are. in keeping
all such bits of news as the above out of
their reporfstothe associate press. Had
this congressinal. swaggering devotee or
King Bacchus, been a Democrat, we
would have hud the whole scene eraphi.

A Dastardly Outrage.
The Northumberland County Democrat
Office Mobbed and Partially Destroyed.
A most dastardly outrage upon Con.
stitutional lights; the liberty of speech
and of the press, was committed at Sun.
bury, Northumberland county, on the
night of the 18th of January ; an out.
rage which would have bean sooner no
ticed but for the sickness and necessary
absence of the regular editor of this pa
per from the office.
Ott that night a band of lawless men, I
strangers in the place.
instigated by '
some uiuievnieni Aooniion citizens, en.
tered the office of the Northumberland
Couty Dimtxrat, in Sunhury, armed
with pistols and swords, and after mal
i . t I- ? . -..
treating and robbing Mr. Simpson, the'
proprietor ot the building, who under,
took to remonstrate with them, tore
down and broke the presses, upset the
imposing stones, tumbled tubles. cases
and stands around the room, scattered
and mixed the types, stole an American
flag and decamped.
This is but one of many similar outra
ges that have been conni itted upon the
property and persons of Democrats by
the "unquestioning" supporters and
myrmidons of the Federal Administra
tion, and it is high time either that they
shout I eease, or that Democrats should
arm theiiiSflv-es and. as a united bodv.
prepare to resist, if need be to death, all
future demonstrations of the kind.
The Northumberland County D'-mo.
ria' is one of the inrwt able. high. toned
and fearless papers in the State. It is
never scuirilous, but has a habit of tel
ling the truth in terse and bold Eng
lish, which is oftYnsive to those who are
conscious of their daily sins and the
grTO corruptions of their party. For
this offence for boldly advocating a
constitutional, and opposing a despotic
government, and for denouncing the
frauds and usurpations of those in pow
er, it has suffered.
We congratulate the talented and gen
tlemanly editor, Mr. Purdy, for the dis.
linguished mark of respect which has
been paid him. It shows that his artil.
lery has not been employed in vain
against the bushwackers and guerrillas
of Northumberland county and marks
Liui as a man of distinction.
We extract the following from an ex-1
tra issued and signed by Mr. Purdy, ana
commend its spirit as entirely proper to
occasion t
' The Northumberland County Demo
crat, though mobbed by strangers, at the
instigation of partizan scoundrels, is not
dead ; it will soon again appear to defend
the time. honored and constitutional
principles of the Dcmocratio party, and
if law among Loyal Leaguers is a thing
gone by. and if brute force and the
reign of mobs, at the instigation of
drunkards, is to be the order of the day,
the Democratic party are prepared for
the issue of self-defence to the destruc
tion of property for property, or even
life for life. We have ever been the
advocates of law and order, but the
Democratic party cannot be held re
sponsible for anarchy if forced upon
them."

Oh ! Ireland in my dreams of thee,
When far away
Resplendent as a summer day
beau sho.ne
And in my waking hours I wept
To think, dearland.Iwasnotnea the
To know that still thy freedom slept
And starr hope was slow to cheer
thee.
So dreamed I, many and many a time
Tn exile dark ;
And wept to think thy glory's bark
So long delayed
But now I see thee face to face,
Soul-smitten with thy graces tender,
And own not fancy's self could trace
A tithe of all thy native splendour.
Oh ! fair thou art above all climes
That I have seen
Full vested in thy glorious green
Thou hast no peer.
Yet mid thy beauty's sheen there looms,
From out thy visage, one deep
shadow ;
Solemn and sacred too it glooms
As twilight in an evening meadow.
Oh ! cursed be the alicu crew,
. And foreign brood,
Whose arts have dimmed thy won
ted mood
Of mirth and song !
Ever I'll pray at morn and noon
That God may send his swiftest
thunder
Forth from his Heaven of wrath, that
soon
Thy tyrant may be trampled under !
