Some Righteous Men Left.
We have read with much satisfaction the
manly and high toned sentiments of that able
Democratic journal, the Concord On. H.
Standard. In its issue Of May 4th, it thus
raises its courageous voice against the war of
invasion:
1--WE are for peace. The South, which, In
this scandalous civil war, will include every
siavehoiding State ,eannot be recouquered. Her
cons may be defeated on the field OF battle
her titles destr 0 yed hsr fields laid waste (; bu.
they will not then be conquered If defea TED,
they will fee to their noun tain Businesses and
their morassss, and still carry on the war,
until ultimately their invaders will be driven
from their soil. They never will be- cong uered
Then, why make war upon them Why sac
riiics thousands of precious lives ana nun
creds Of millions OF money, when, in the end,
1t will avail n0thiEgf
We are for the defence OF the North. If our
brethren of the Sodth invade The North, we
are for repelling them. We are for defending
the city of Washington until Maryland shall
secede. AS hong as that State shall remain in
the Northern Union, we are for defending the
integrity of her coil, and that embraces the
city of Washington. Ii she secedes, it Will be
useless even to defend Washing TOM
In reply to threats of violence by the Re-
publicans, the Standard says:
ono. Beware of attempting Reign NJ
Terror, among the other calamities which
your policy has brought upon your country.
DO that, and you initiate Il civil war at your
own doors. You will transfer 1t from tir-
ginia and Carolina 10 New Hampshire, Maine,
Connecticut, New York, Iliinois-the entire
North. No Democrat at the North, with the
heart Of "A freeman beating in his bosom, Will
submit TO your threatened despotism"
In an article on "Democrats in arms for the
defence of Washington" it speaks as follows
$50 far As We can learn, large majority OF
the soldiers enlisted In this State for the de-
fence Of Washington, are Democrats. And
they understand well what they are going to
Washington for. 1t Is not TO wage war of
revenge or conquest against the South, but to
defend the Government and Capital of the
Union.
"Of the regiment 1.-THE 25th) raised In Alba
ny, N. :, the Albany Argus says:
''Of that regiment of soldiers Thus march
ing TO the service of their country nine te tbs
are Democrats
"And the New York Day Book remarks of
the troops going from that city:
"sMany of the troop. that have gone from
New York said that they would defend oe
Capital, but never engage in an aggressive
war on the South"
The Boston Journal having threatened the
editor with an assault on person and property,
he thus replies:
"And we now say to the editor OF the Boa
ton Journal, that If the mob, at his i1stga-
ton, shall assail our person or property, If we
snrvive, TOE to,H hold him responstbIe for the
outrage in PRoPgsTT, PRISON ASD LIPB.
I'VE tell that malignant and blood thirsty
miscreant that the blood Of the flrst Dem ocrit
OF the Granite State that shall be shed by q
Black Republican mob in this contest, will
be avenged by all the Democrats OF the Gran
tie State. Beware OF the entertainment to
which you arc inviting your countrymen at
home, by your barbarous and bloody coun-
ssis. 1t is enough TO have a sectional civil
war. Beware how you instigate war of
factions ut home"
Tho N. II. Patriot says that in Saco, Maine,
. large mob surrounded the Office of the Demo
srat, and demanded that>a flag should be
raised on peril of tho destruction Of the office !
Tho editor was absent, but few reselule
friond, successfully resisted all their attempts
Ia enter the office. and after much Disgrace
ful rioting, they left without accomplishing
their purpose. The Democrat SAYS:
We advise all Democrats of York county
while they stand by the country and its laws
to put their fire. arms of all descrpt in the
best order Immediately and keep them loaded
for immediate and effective service. They
may be needed at any moment to protect their
families and their dwellings. The rowdy part

70 be well satisfied that ths diabolisIn has
been sat on foot and extends through the
county"
The Patriot protests Indignantly against
an internal proposition of the Boston Atlas
and Bee, edited by. the Adjutant General of
Massachusetts, who calls upon the Federal
Government 10 arm the servile population OF
Eastern Virginia. 1t has also an article
headed "a Patriotic Family" in which three
rendered their services TO the Government,
Us Clerk, Postmaster, and Mail Agent!
One Republican paper comes out for Peace.
The Hartford Courans, which is the leading
Republican Journal Of Connecticut, is con-
strained to admit that the only way to obtain
peace is to recognize the Government of the
Confederate States. 1t says:
"Public opinion In the North seems to be
gradually settling down in favor Of the recoo-
Rition Of the asU Con/sderocy by the Federal
Government. The thought OF bloody and
