Tbe war for the Union.

1t will soon be seen in @ clearer light thar
ever who are the real friends of the Union
Events are fast developing q crisis that vii
"try mems souls" as thoroughly as did th'
darkest hours of the American Revolution.
II will soon be known whether this war
which is now assuming q most fearfully san
culinary aspect, Is to be continued, on the par
of the Administration, for the sole object oi
maintaining the Union In its original integrity
or for other ulterior purposes which will fnd
their accomplishment only in the final disrup'
tion Of the Republic.
There is scarcely man, in the States whose
Executives responded to the call of the Presi-
dent for three months volunteers, who Ia not
honestly and zsalously in favor of prosecuting
the war, since II has been begun, to the full
extent necessary for the establishment of the
authority of the Constitution and the enforce
ment of the Federal laws. This is the ground
occapied by true Democrats and Union men.
All who do now, or may hereafter, urge the con-
tlnuance Of the war beyond the point and out.
side of the objects above indicated, are disun-
ionists, however loudly they may denounce
others who will not enter into their mad
schemes, as traitors.
10 the South, the men who set on foot treason
against the Government Of the United States,
for the purpose Of effecting final separation
of the States, will be frm and psrsevering in
their efforts to push on the rebellion TO the last
extremity; while those in the North who take
the ground that there should be no reconstruction
of the Union unless slavery Is drst exterminated
by the strong arm Of the Federal Government,
will urge the continuance Of the war until that
object is attained, or the slave States finally sep
arated from the free.
DisunionistS In all parts Of the Union, and
under every possible disguise, will attempt to
engineer this war, 90 as to accomplish their
cherished design. II will soon be made appa-
rent to the world, whether there;is yet enough
true loyalty to the Constitution, and genuine pat
riotism in this country to effectually put down
this great rebellion, and at the same time, In
the midst Of the frenzy and turbulence Of civil
W.T., and the animosities and factions IL epgen
d,rs, battle the Vaccinations Of these conspira
tors, who would convert a war for the mainte-
nance Of the Union into crusade against

The Washington correspondent Of the Phila

at is stated that intelligence has been re
ceived to-day from General Patterson, at
Charlestown, which is now his headquarters, in.

the idea Of holding Winchester, where, 1t was
known, he was strongly entrenched, and had
begun his retreat toward Strasburg. The lat
ter place is only fifteen miles from Winchester,
over good road. doubt the truth Of the re-
port, and am more inclined to believe that
Johnston will fight at Winchester.
"Whie the would be critics are sneering at
General Patterson, it would be well to remem-
Der what he has done. He has performed faith
fully and to the letter the part assigned to him
by the Commander in-CbIef and Is ready to CO.

army. He has performed all Of his nance uvres
in such manner as TO gain all of his results
with very trifing loss of life. He has moved
victoriously from Williamsport to Martinsburg,

suits to have been accomplished by IAN infrn

We put this upon record, as there appears tC

The Coffee, Tea and Sugar Tax.

The protectonists in Congress hang on to
their pound OF flesh with the tenacity of q
starving wolf. Wecopy the following from the
New York Posts Washington correspondent:
"TaE AMENDED TARIFF Mr.. Stevens, of the
Ways and Means Committee, struggled very
hard yesterday to carry his own bill Of amend
ments to the present tariff through the House.
He threatened that il the House persisted in
the amendments of the Committee of the
Whole, reducing the proposed tax on sugar and
coffee, the Committee of Ways and Means
would give up the attempt to provide the mon
ey necessary to carry on the war. Under these
circumstances the House gave the original Ste
vens bill a majority Of thirty votes 1t will
probably pass the Senate just as IL leaves the
House, though this is not absolutely certain.
An excise tax and a stamp duty, it is now al
most certain, will be agreed to by the Ways
and Means Committee, Mr.. Chase recon-
mends them"
Here Is direct threat to COngTess, that il
they do not pass the bill as they recommend it,
they will not attempt to provide money for the
war. If any Democrat had said this, every
Republican press would denounce him as @
traitor, but as THAD. STEVENS is bitter Re
publican, 1t Is all right and very patriotic.
On this subject, the New York Tribune says
"These indispensable elements of existence
for the million have been brought 80 prominent
ly into notice by the contemplated tax upon
them as to render the subject worthy of particu
lar examination. Although thirty millions Of
people, from the stalt1art adult to the infant in tht
cradle, are to be effected By The taz. yet no antas

remarkable from our being the greatest sugar.
consuming people in the world. In 1910, the
average consumption per individual was l6
pounds, but In 1855 it had risen to 40 pounds
thus far outrunping the increase of population
During most of this period the cost has been
steadily diminishing, especially to consumers
in the West, owing to the multiplication Of
steamboats, and railroads, and the consequent
reduction Of freights. In all that region the
increase OF consumption has been enormous.
From 1889 to 1874 it was SO per cent; from
l545 to l649 it was 80 per cent and from 1850
to 1854 It was 0per cent"
The people are submitting to much from ne.
cessity; but the moment Congress attempts a
of the duties on New England manu-
factures and Pennsylvania iron, go that 1t can
oe imported and produce o revenue, the Tribune
and its kind raise howl, and THAD. STEVENS

The Boston Pest OF the JOth ult., egys;
The Third aud Fourth Regiments Of the Mas
sachusetts Volunteer Militia, commanded re-
speotively by Coils. Wardrop and Packard, were
among the first TO leave here under the requi-
sition for three months volunteers, and thu cir
term OF service having expired they have now
returned home. Both regiments arrived in Bos-
ton harbor yesterday, but did not come up TO
the city, to the great disappointment Of their
friends who had contemplated giving them q
glorious reception,
With two exceptions, every man who went
away with the regiment has returned--not one
having been lost by death or desertion. Brig.
Gen Pierce did not come home in the Cambridge
as was expected, being detained at the Fortress
as witness in the official investigation into
Col. Bendix's conduct In the Great Bethel affair,
but il will be seen that he followed In the Spaud-
ing. Two of his staff, Brigade Major Pierce
and Capt. Richmond, came home, however,
with Col. Wardrop. hen
Yesterday forenoon, Col. Wardrop visited the
State House, for orders, but as his command had
not yet been discharged from the United States
service, it was not considered incumbent upon
the Governor or Adjutant General to make any
disposition of the troops until advice had been
received from Washington. The regiment
will accordingly remain under charge of Capt
Amory, U. s. army, who decided to put them
into camp at Long Island for day or two,
until they could be paid off and finally discharg.

At the present time We are not prepared TO
say there is any public necessity for the con.
tinuance of the Republican or any other organ

We agree with the Commercial that there is
no public necessity for the perpetuation of the
Republican party organization. There was no
necessity for its organization. But with the
Democratic party it is quite different. 1t had
its rise in the formation Of our Government
and Union, and as long as they exist there ia
need for the preservation of the Democratic
party.
There never was time when the Democratic
party was more needed than now. And as

How about Ohio Z

SUPERVISION OF NEwsPApERs.- The Louisville
Democrat, which is an unqualified Union paper,
and goes quite as far as the Journal In the sup
port of the Government, has the following
comments on the suppression Of the Missouri
State Journal:
The suppression of newspaper in st. Louis
is one of the last acts of despotism. The Con-
stitution not only grants no power to any au-
thority to do such an act, but absolutely forbids
It. The first amendment TO the Constitution
says: , ~
"Congress shall make no Law respecting an
establishment Of religion, or prohibiting the
free exercise thereof, or abridging the freedom
Of speech or the press" ~ ,,.,.. 4, .'..,;.
Congress did once make such q law, and men
were fined and imprisoned under it, but the Law
was universally condemned. It will hardly be
contended that the military can exercise a
power without law, when Congress Is forbidden
to make such q law. However, laws and con-
stitutions do not amount 70 much now. All we
want to accomplish now is, that after the final
settlement Of matters, this shall not be pre-
cedeDt In this government. . 1890, IA
