OLD LINE Wings FLocKING TO THE
STANDARD OF THE DEMocRAcY.-N MI
merous instances have come to our knowl-
edge recently from different portions of
the State, of large numbers of Wings
who have become thoroughly disguised
with republican treason and corruption,
and who have for some years stood aloof
from party politics, coming out openly
avowing their purpose to unite with and
support Democratic principles and DEM
ocratic candidates. We welcome all such
TO our standard, because we are assured
that they come not 10 us for spoils but
from principle-they come because they
are convinced that the Republican organi-
cation is banded together for corrupt pur-
poses; and its tendency is to weaken the
institutions of the country, and that its
only support is gained by a false and hyp-
ocritical pretence of regard for human
freedom, while its practices lead to every
species of thralldom of both body and
mind, Albany Argus.

HELPER's BOOK ENDORSED BY
MIR. SEWARD.

1t appears that Mr.. Seward, too, has
recommended Helpers book. The follow
ing is his certificate:
:" l have read the Impending Crisis
of the South with deep attention. 1t
seems to be work of great merit, rich,
yet accurate, in statistical information,
and logical in analysis"
1t has been denied that Mr.. Seward
meant, by the ''irroprcssible conflict" doc
trine of his Rochester speech, any thing
moro than a moral crusade against slave
ry If that be all he meant by it, what
does he mean by this Recommendation
Of Helpers bookY
Mr.. Seward will not be able to allege,
rs two or three Of the black republican
members of Congress have done with ref
erence to their recommendations of il,
that he recommended the book upon the
representations of Others and without
himself knowing what it contained. He
certifies that he has 'redd" it "wiM deep
attention." and that it seems TO him a
'oork Of great merit, rich, get accurate
tn statistical Information and logical an
analysis" What will good men say of
Mr.. Seward now The truth is that the
book is just what contemporary describes
il to be:
"The volume here spoken of is full of
intentional falsehoods, misstatements of
figures and facts, and shameless invective
instead of logic.
alt aims at the abolition of slavery by
force.
at recommends the civil, social, bust
ness and religious prescription of the
Shareholders of the South. If that is too
slow-invasion and Instruction"
"Will any one deny this 2"
The book is an elaboration Of the Z" ir-
repressble conflict" doctrine; and it points
the way in which this doctrine shall be
enforced.
Let us have no more attempts TO ex-
plain away this doctrine.
1t means that Shareholders " deserve
to DO at once reduced to a parallel with
the basest criminals that lie fottered with
in the cells Of our public prisons"
Itmeans that If it were possible that
the whole number of shareholders could
be gathered together and transferred into
four equal gangs Of licensed ROBBERS,
RUFFIANs, THIEVES AND MuRDERERs, so
ciety would suffer less from their atroci-
ties than it does now"
IL means that the negroes would, il
nine cases out of ten, be delighted with
an opportunity TO cut their masters
threats
ItnIeans That the shareholders must
decide whether slavery shall be abolished
"Peaceably or by VIOLENCE"
1t means that" no man can be true
patriot without first becoming an aboli
tionisi.p
1t means that "thc Internal question
of slavery must be disposed Of" by 90
speedy and absolute adjustment Of th,
whole system" and, in the language 0
Mr.. Seward, that "YoU AND 1 MUST DC
IT."
All this is what the irrepressible con
fict" doctrine means--expounded b,
Helper and endorsed by Seward.
What, we ask again, will good me-
say of Mr.. Seward now?

ANOTHER JOIN BRowN.-An unfortu-
nate youth in Quincy, Mass, aged about
fourteen years, who bears tho name of
John Brown, was lately tried by his com
panions for treason and sentenced to be
hung. He was placed upon barrel, and
rope, suspended from the limb Of tree,
was passed under his arms. At the APP
pointed timo the barrel was kicked from
under him, and the rope slipped and
caught him by the neck. Had not a
woman rushed out and cut the rope with
carving knife, tho boy would doubtless
have met with as tragical an end as his
prototype, with far loss of notoriety.

Perhaps the English who, as the Philadelphia B,nIefil
says, are hard to please whenever an American policy Is
adopted differing from a European policy, will at least
acknowledge that forbearance and c%iviity are better than
fleets aud g%unpowder in dealing with the Chinese. They
have gained for Mr.. Ward, the American Minister. a
courteous reception in Pekin, while the other machinery.
employed by the British, failed utterly and lost them
hundreds Of men and several vessels. Mr.. Ward was
not taken TO Pekin shut up in a box, as reported by the
French cauard-maker; but 80 far as may be Judged irum

RICH HIG.
TO CoRREsPoNDENTs
The Invasion.

The instruction at Harper's Ferry was, as the Charles
ton Mercury saws, simply no instruction at all. Not a
slave joined the reckless fanatics who sought to promote
their nefarous policy Of emancipation by blood and trea-
bon. IL was IA silly invasion OF Virginia by some eighteen
men. -Four or FIVE men were killed, and a few more will
be hung, and there will be the end of the enterprise in
its mere physical aspects. The presses of the North,
looking no further than these results, are pretty harmo-
nious in representing it as a very light and trihing affair;
and the parade OF Governors, Senators, and of the mill
tary of States, and of the General Government to sup
press il, as very absurd aud ridiculous.
Events are often important, not on account of their
immediate magnitude, but ON account OF their signif.
cancy. A pimple on the cheek may be a very trifiug
disorder, but if il betokens erysipelas, il is the indication
Of disease which may be fatal. Aud so il is in the 20.
ltieal world. The importance of any event, however
insignificant in itself, must be measured by the principle
IL involves, or the policy it indicates. For twenty-five
years the northern people have been keeping up
n continual agitation in the Union concerning the
institution Of slavery. They have broken up our
churches; they have run Off our slaves; they
have excluded Us from our territory. on the ground that
the institution OF slavery is too ubiquitous to expand
and they have now organized a vast controlling party in
the Northern States, looking to the possession Of the
General Government, to further their purposes Of emauci,
patioa. All along. however, We have heard put forth
