DEMOCRACY, NORTH AND SOUTH.

John W. Dana is the caudi date for Governor
Of that portion Of the Democracy Of Maine who
hold that we may have peace and the Union re-
stored by simply making proper and just conces-
sions TO our amiable friends of the JEFF. Davis
persuasion. We place his view Of the matter
parallel with that of an eminent Southern oracle
Of the same communion. viz;

whe are the secessioni.ts,

Not the Shareholders as is generally supposed.
-Four out of every FIVE of them are Union, con
servative men, as we have always contended.
The sentiments of an Alabama gentleman, for
warded from Harrisburg and published in yester-
days Herald, fully coincide with our views. The
following extract from the correspondence places
the matter in its true light:
''fhe course of some of the ultra and infucn-
tlal Northern Journals is very much lamented by
them. The National Administration should as

not mean a crusade against and the determination
of slavery. The most prominent Union men in
Virginia. as also in the Confederate States are
the largest SHAREHOLDERS. 1t is q mistaken idea
that the so-styled slaveocracy are the leading
traitors. The perpetui'y of the Federal Union
was their highest wish and boast, nor do they now
think that all is lost; they yet have faith IN the
reconstruction of the Union.
1t is so not only in Virginia and Alabama, but
in all the slavehOing States and the anti siy cry
journals of the North have done immense mis-
chief by alternating them from the cause Of the
Union. All they want il a chance to declare foi
the old flag: but if they are told that their liber

among military adventures from the North
what worse have they to expectg If they believe
it, will they not be nerved 70 desperation? 1t is
therefore, the duty of the Government to unde
ceve them by its procamatons, and to rebuk,
the fanaticism and the folly the journals whcl
arc doing their utmost to deprive the Gov ernmen
of its best support in the border States.
We know that in the eastern section Of Mary

The Cost of the Army.

The appropriations for the army of the United
State, for the year ending June 80, 1861, were
Sl4 966. .537 sc, or trihe less than fifteen mil
lion dollars. For the proceeding year, the ex
penditures for the army were Sl5,279, SIS rs
By the official returns il appears that the whole
number of officers and men in the United States
army last year, was only ~, ,93l though the num-
Der authorized by Law was about lS,000 yet but
enlisted.
If an army, say Of thirteen thousand, costs,
when not engaged in actual warfare, fifteen mil
lion dollars, an army of one hundred thousand,
to make no account Of the expense of placing il
on a footing and maintaining it in that con-
ditiOn, will cost one hundred and fifteen million
dollars, and an army of two hundred thousand
which may be deemed necessary shortly to raise
will cost the sum of two hundred and thirty mil
lions year.

Reduction OF Reuts-Necessfty of Re
trenc n ment.

Mr.. George Carlyle, the owner OF the splendid
block of buildings at the corner of Fourth and
Walnut streets. has voluntarily sgnfed his de
termination to reduce the rents charged to his
tenants-those Who hold upon long leases, hav-
ing several years TO run, as well rs mere tempo
rary occupants-at the rate Of twenty five per
cent for the current month, and fifty per cent
for the next, in case the war pressure shall con
tinue.
This movement is in the right direction: and
is as indicative of Mr.. Carlyle's sagac,y as %
his benevolence. He has the wisdom 20 see that
il Is not only wrong to hold men 10 contracts that
are ruinOus TO them, but il j. bad policy. Just
regard for the future teaches him that IL is advis
able. as far as Is in his power, 20 relieve and con
serve the present; and il is 20 be hoped that the
example Of a man of so much foresight and ez
perience viii be generally followed.
Rents must come down 10 the standard which
events have imperatiyely forced upon US. The
holders of property will. IL they look around

the means to pay. The practice is a bad one
and the trial, in almost every case, ends unfortu
nately.
The more entirely the difficulties Of the time,
are met by direct and firm retrenchment, the
more easy sill be the process Of recovery. We
have been doing business upon one standard. We
must now learn 70 do il upon another and they
who take practical cognizance OF this fact, and

crowds near Camp Jackson Hon. j. r. Barret,
Major Uriel Wright, and other speakers addressed
a large and intensely excited crowd in front of
the Planters House, and other well known citi-
zens were similarly engaged at various other
points in the city. Amid the noise and confusion
ii was impossible to obtain even the substance OF
the speeches delivered.
All the drinking saloons, restaurants and other
public resorts of similar character, were closed
by their prOprietors almost simultaneously at
dark: and the windows of private dwellings we're
fastened, in fear of general riot. Theaters and
other public places of amusement were entirely
out of the question, and nobody went near them.
Matters Of graver import were occupying the
minds Of our citizens, and everything but the
present excitement was banished from their
thoughts.
Crowds of men rushed through the principal
thoroughiares, bearing banners and devices suited
to their several fahcieS, and by turns cheering
and groaning. Some were armed and Others were
not armed, and all seemed anxious to be at work.
A cl age was made on the gun store of Ii. +.
Dimick on Main street, the door was broken
open, and the crowd secured fifteen or twenty
guns before sufficient number of police could
be collected to arrest the proceedings. Chief
McDonough marched down with about twenty
policemen, armed with muskets, and succeeded
in dispensing the mob and protecting the premises
from further molestation. Squads of armed po-
licemen we're stationed at several of the most
public corners, and the Offices of the Missouri
Democrat and AnSeiger des WeSteRs were placed
under guard for protection.

Il has been determined by our Congress
at Montgomery. The only exemption
