tG~ The New York Eoenin9 Posi-, ono


Of the ablest and most ultra of the Repub-
lican press of the country, alluding to the
fact of the Southern leaders, in the begin
ming Of their revolt, relying upon sympa.
thy from the Democracy Of the North, re.
marks -
"The seceders have not divided the
North; but, on the other hand, with every
step that they have made, they have only
aroused and concentrated the uanimity OF
he North. All political parties vie with
each other in their expressions of fidelity
to the Union. Four hundred thousand
troops are in the field, with ample muni-
tions and supplies, and five hundred mil.
lions of money are ready to be pledged to
the prosecution of the war"
We do not copy this paragrap, says the
Pittsburgh Post, because of its containing
anything new or remarkable, but simply
to contrast its sentiments with those ofsome
of our Republican organs nearer home
the Pittsburgh Gazette, for instance. A
few days since that paper announced that
the Democratic party were not to be trus'
ted; that they were not sincere in the sup
port of the war and the government. This,
to be sure, was said prior to our late cleo
ton, but even political and partizan neces-
ity does not Justify such infamous allega-
tions. Such papers as the EOsn'ng Post
do sink themselves to such base uses.
The stupid charge of in6delity against
the Democracy of the North proceeds gen"
orally from those who have always been
opposed to the government themselves
Were it not that this class of politicians
are now luxuriating in the spoils to very
considerable extent they would be arrayed
against their government now. These ex'
tremists are in fact opposed to the princi
pies upon which our government is loun.
ded, and are necessarily in opposition tc
any Administration conducted upon the
theory of those who framed it. In theil
vehement crusade against the South they
have defed the teachings and warnings o.
our ablest statesmen, and it avowedly tc
bring about the very state Of things VIZ
now so much deplore. Even now many
/ of these agtators dcnounce the presen
Administration because it will not hee(
their tanatical suggestions. On the Othel
hand, the Democracy, true to its faith ant
practice, steps in to the support of tn
government, and assures those in poBe
that it is with them until rebellion is en-
, trely put down.
= If party has any right 30 claim tina
| which was intended for all, the Democra
. cy of the United States could make out
) strong case for the possession of our govern
ment. Democratic teachings and states
= men raised it to what it was before the re
j.. belion broke out, aud will be the means {
= elevating it still higher after treason is py
q down Had the warnings of Democrat
y statesmen, and others, not belonging
h our organization, been needed in time W

/. dal wor, the legitimate consequence of

Is THIS TREAsoN.-The Rev. Mr.. Con-
way, in his humiliation sermon, on Thurs
day, held up his right arm and exclaimed:
MAY the lightning of heaven shiver this
arm before l would fight to restore this
Union with slavery in it !" The sentiment
was applauded by the clapping of hands
and the stamping of feet by the audience.
Is that treason or not?-Ctn, Eng.
Yes, this is treason, rank, unadultera-
ted treason, and the uplifted hand should
have been palsied, the tongue cloven to the
roof of the mouth of him who gave utter,
ance to the he'll engendered sentiment 1t
is such men as this Mr.. Conway that are
using their position in society, under sa-
cred garb to demoralize the public mind
and attempt to strangle the better feelings
of men by sowing broadcast over the land
the seeds Of fanatical opposition to that
government which protects them in the
right of free speech. by impairing It's mor
al power and aiding in its overthrow
"ohi for tongue to curse the siave,
Whose treason like a with ring blight,
Comes DER the counsels of the brave,
And blast. them in then hour of might"

Col. l.. L. TATE.-This veteran editor
of the CoiumJsa Democrat, has been cleo
ted to the Legislature in connection with
Col. Tuition of Wyoming, in the district
composed of the counties of Columbia,
Montour, Sullivan and Wyoming, by an
old fashioned emocratc majority. Some
20 years ago Col. Tate, in connection with
VIM. L. Moore, published the Pioneer T.
Banner, of which the hearfsM RepuNi-
can is the legitimate successor. He was
then a Democrat, and has continued a
faithful and devoted advocate of the prin-
ciples of the National Democracy from
that day to this, through sunshine and
storm. Like most other editors of Demo-
cratic papers in Pennsylvania, who had
the independence to maintain the indivisi-
bility of the Democratic party last spring,
Col. Tate and his office were threatened
with the vemgeance Of Tie mob. His Dem
ocratic fellow citizens, whose devotion to
the Union, the Laws and the Constitution
cannot be doubted, forthwith selected him
as Me man to represent them at Harris
burg, and he has been triumphaptly elec..
sed.-C9sarf ID (Demo.) Republican.

FLORIDA AND MISSISSIPPI BoNDs.-Before
Florida entered the Union, she issued a mil
lion or twoo dollars of bonds, which were
taken by English bankers. They were new
er paid, nor was payment of them ever as
sumed by the General Government. A COM
mission was appointed to examine the mat
ter few years since, which sat in London,
but finally concluced that nothing could be
done for the creditors, as Florida, while a
member of the Union, could not be coerced
to pay. But if Florida goes out and becomes
an independent nation, the bondholders
will probably ask the British Government to
compel payment of these claims by armed
force. Mississippi has similar prospect
before her in regard to her repudiated bonds.
Here are two wars laid out for the new
Southern Confederacy, in addition to its
dangers of civil and servile ones.

100 Bolts of Lawrence Duck,
From 0000 to 000000000000, and that he sell it at
about Is cents per yard-cheaper than it has be-
fore been sold on this Ridge. As to the durability of
his work, the following recommendation from Mr.
Sam Howe, President and Foreman of the Eureka
Mining Company, on this II speaks for itself:
''After having tried the Hose of different Makers
and of different kinds, in the Eureka Claims have
hesitation in pronouncing that made by Mr.. Frank
Soue, from Lawrence Duck, SUPERIOR in every respect
to any other. it with presstfe of at least It's
feet and say that it answers admirably, the
lasting longer than any other part of the hose.''

SLE1oHING ExcURsIoN.-A party of some
twenty or more gentlemen, among whom were
Messrs. c. Schardin, T. G. Smith, w. ]. Wester-
field, I. Culver, S. Southwick, J. B. Henry, o.
P. Stidger, D. Furth and others, whose names
are not now recolected, left this place on Thurs
day last on sleighing excursion to Forest City
and All eghanytown. The party proceeded to
Bope's Ranch by stage and on horseback, from
which point they were transported in one of the
California Stage Co.'s sleighs to Forest City
arriving at the latter place about4 o'clock, P. NJ
Members of the party have reported to us that
they had delightful time, and that the sleighing
from Bope's Ranch to Forest City was excellent
the snow on the road being from twelve inches to
-FOUR and five feet deep.
OF the party was gentleman who is familiarly
known as ''Beau Hickman" How he obtained
this name we shall not stop to inquire; but pre-
sumo it must have been from his close resem-
abIance to the original "Beau," who SO long fgur-
ed at Washington City, Baltimore, Philadelphia
s1id New York. Our "Beau" is also an original
character, full Of all sorts of fun, and play
ing practical jokes upon his acquaintance. He
IS an excellent "ringer-in" upon the Boys, and
although not in the habit of getting tipsy, never
refuses to drink when invited.
'tBeau" was the observed Of all observers at
Forest City, and as the champagne flowed freely
among the party and ''Beau" drank deep of the
sparkling beverage, he soon fell, to rise no more
that night. This incident occurred in one of the
saloons. When he rose next morning, he was
minus one boot, and upon his back was found a
card containing this epitaph-
"There was man that died of late,
Whom angels did impatient wait;
Up jumped the devil, like quick man,
And down to-h he kicked Beau Hickman"
At'the laying out of "Beau," large funeral
crowd assembled, and one of the "devil-iners' of
Forest City delivered funeral discourse. Want
of room prevents us from giving synopsis of it.
Suffice it to say, "Beau" Jared badly with the
Boys, and probably learned lesson that viii
serve him for years.
On Friday morning the sleighing party took
an early start, went to Alleghanytown, where
they ''liquored," and returned to Bope's Ranch,
where they breakfasted. They got back to North
San Juan about 5 o'clock that afternoon, in a
jolly humor-highly pleased with the excursion
and it's incidents.
