we're about to disturb the equilibrium OF the
Government, and assail u portion OF the Union
which would not submit to the cncroachment
of a dominant hostility to their institutions
1t was n warming to the constitutional people
of the Union, and it babe them beware how
they battered down or overcapt the barriers
of the govcrnmcst. 1t was warning to the
fanatic also, who perverted the sacred desk to
political engine and prostituted the gospels
of peace to the purposes of malignant war.
But it was triumph, aso-a triumph OF rca-
sou and patriotism over the sudden uphcaval
of political elements, whose rage came but too
nigh ovcrthrowing the most magnificent pc.
litica fabric hitherto known to the world--a
triumph of the ideas of regular government
over the impulsivc zeal and inordinatc fury OF
fanaicsm and utopan speculation. We went
into the contest upon a question OF life aud
DEATH and when we came out with life, when
we have beaten back the foe and taken the
reins Of govcrnmet into our hands, it rather
becomes us, as the triumphant party to avail
ourselves Of the victory byn wise an1 judiclons
use Of the means afforded by success, to fortify
our position rather than to reinquish the pres
tige Of the triumph by fighting our hatles oy'
en- our efforts to bind the broken forces of oul
cause together after the strife, that our enc
mics achieved more than they expected that
they do not look upon the result as defeat
or that they claim their rout as q victory
We should the rather brace ourselves against
them and put ourselves to work upon tllt
wscSt and most united counscls to defeat them
in tsrategy and policy by serricd will upon
a common purpose. These are arguments 10
increase our watchfulncss, extend the love OF
our cause even into the encmy's territory,
awaken the sense of justice, truth and patriot
ism in minds dormant or mislcd, and to lead
the dclulcd followers of reckless and spccua
tive politician, back TO the safe and peaceful
doctrines Of the Constitution. We should
keep our eye to the windward and prevent all
surprise. We should join hands in the work
of sefprcServation We should nerve our
selves against the events Of coming years W.
should yitalZc our confidence in the Democrat
ic party, and by n cordial support Of the lead
cr OF its principles, assist with all our might
the strongest and most prudent measures whicl
can be proposed To sustain the South aud L
van1lSh the malignant policy Of the North
which wond reduce us TO humiliating snbiec
ton. This, il seems TO us, is the import o
the warning we have had, and this is the uSt
we should make Of the victory the Democrat,
have won. When We have done this and faile'
we shall be acquitted in the face of the worl1
for any course which the necessity Of our for
tunes shall compel us to adopt.

The Three Jadases.

The feeling OF modification and Indignation exct-
ed by the treachcry of the three individuals in the
Pennsylvania legislature, who, elected by their con-
stitucncy as democrats, had the lack of shame and
honor to vote for Simon Cameron, the republican
candidate for United States senator, is growing deep
err and deeper, both in the Keystone State and N
the country at large, every day as III, cnormity of
the treason is deliberately comprehenlrd. TIL first
impulse everywhere. the receipt of the humiiat.
ing tidings was to vent upon the three Judases nr,-
edctions Every mocratc exchange that had in
season received the news came to US dwelling their
curses upon them Every republican exchange that
came to MS came to Us eXuting over the election Of
Cameron, but ominiously silent rs to those Whose
treachpry was procured TO secure it, The feeling of
modification was not concealed by the democracy
and with slight exception or two, was manifested
in the silence of the opposition. A feeling of nd Z.
nation mt the defeat Of Colonel Forncy. under the
peculiar circumstances ran through the veins of the
democracy, and through the veins Of the republicans
everywhere ran tngng burning blush Of shame at
the by which General Cameron succeed d. that
in their very efforts to conceal it, has been but the
more openly revealed.
II Is natural that it should be so Treason is alb.
horrcd by all nations and all parties, and oay be-
comes more degrading than in itself it is when, A.
in this instance, II is suspected Of being purchased
with money.
1t is said that these three Pennsylvania Judases
will now be rewarded with place and power by the
opposition. We will speak for the republicans once
and vouch that it will not be so. The old illustra
ton is not yet trtc but that it may be called into
service again. The American colonies pointed thu
finger Of scorn at Benedict Arnold The English
glored in the treason, but they ever despised the
traitor. So the American democracy to man point
the finger of scorn at Lebo, Wagonsell 7. and Ma
near. The republican party may rejoice in the
fruits OF the treason, but they will ever despise the
traitors. There is no longer place and power for
them; there is no longer respect towards them;
there is no longer peace of m nd for them.
The cruel injury they have done the party that
conldng in them, has warmed them into political
life is irreparable but the injury they have in thus
doing, inflicted upon themselves is what will carry
with it, punishment terrible enough for each to bear
1t is over. Let them go! Let them 90 where
they can! The republicans will not receive them
and population from her ranks and sneer of con-
tempt are all that the democracy will see fit to be-
stow upon the three Judascs.

No New Tests-The Duty of the De-
nocracy

The Richmond Enquirer commcnds to the earnest
attention of lovers of their country every where the
timely. iudicous and able letter of II. V. Johnson
Esq. Governor of Georgia. Coming from one of
the foremost statesmen of the South, and the boldest,
pnre. aud most sagacous champions of our rights
his words Of counsel ar" entitled to the most drlibar-
ate and serious consideration. Both in the Senate
Chamber and in the Executive chair of one of the
most nourshing States of the South Hcrschell v
johnson has always commanded the respect and adj
mration of the Southern people. At the present
moment he feels called upon to renew his coniidan ce
in the National Democracy the only party that is
conservative and powerful enough TO maintain nj
the rights and equality of the States and con
sttuonal Union. We are pleased to see that this
admirable letter has been fully endorsed by the
whole Democratic press Of Georgia--a gallant State
that has never falterrd in devotion to States Rights
and the just rights of the South. The letter is char
acerzPd by good sense and sound prime pies. 1t
lncdly eypounds the requirements of a sound South
ern pocy-points ont the necessity of cnltivat'ng a
strong and cordial alliance with the faithful consti-
tuition abiding Democrats of the North Exposes our
true political position in vivid colors-warns rs
against coming dangers and teaches us how to avoid
them. The only hope for the South and the Union
is in The harmonious sectional co ration of the
Democratic party In the language of the Macon
(Ga) Telegraph "Uness would invite disruption
and chaos, the party must be maintained in vgor
and strength. 1t must be maintained first of all.
in tbs South, because in the nature of the questions
now agitatcd the united South must furnish the
broad and firm base for the Democratic superstruc-
ure, The Northern Democracy cannot sustain
themselves against an all prevalent and popular ia

power of IN ted South. 1t was united south on

constitutional party of the Union"
In confirmation of our own views and Of the sound
sentiments of Gov Joensons letter, we repubsh the
following excellent remarks of the Mobile Register

Free States was most certainly warning--a

~ The process Of manufacturing Ia
ger beer-an institution now pretty
thoroughly naturalized, although it did not
emigrate to this country until as late as
ls47-differs very much from that EN-.
ployed in making common beer or ale.
In brewing for lager beer, the only mate
rails used are malt, hops and water. 1t is
a curious fact that while ale and common
beer ferment upwards, lager beer fer
ments downwards. Common beer can be
made fit for use in five or six days, accor-
ding to the heat Of the weather; but it
requires nearly as many months to perfect
lager beer; and if, instead of months.
years Of probation were given to it, it
would be all the better. Brewers of lager
beer are generally very healthy, and re-
gard the free use Of the beer as q pre-.
ventive Of many diseases, including cho-
lera. They drink on IN average from
thirty to forty glasses daily, and enjoy good
health. Latterly it is thought that dishon-
est men, to meet the demand upon them,
resort to deleterious substances, and that
pernicious drugs are substituted for hops.
Should this impression become general,
the trade will be ruined, as people do not
care to be poisoned, even under the dis.
guise Of lager beer.
