Two Pictures.

DR.. Johns masters have forced him to
admit that he made and published a most
Infamous and malicious libel, when he ut
tered through his paper the following:
1G- "We attended the Democratic
"pow-wow" in the Court House, on Mon
day. Before going, however, we locked
up our pocket bo ok, as we felt that things
of that sort might not be Sqfe among a
crowd who endorsed such men as Cobb,
Floyd, and other PLUDERERs of treasures,
custom houses, arsenals and forts, and re-.
pudiators of debts"
For in the issue of the following week
he takes the water in the most amusing
possible fashion. Just hear this wholesale
vilifer, and pity the man for once. He
says:-
"We had no fears from the mass of the
delegates, for we know them to be HON
EST and WELL-MEANING men,"
This is of piece with his foolish de-
nanciation of the democrats last June at
the Congressional election, and which his
owners forced him to take back the fol-
lowing week. We should think they had
almost got tired keeping the DR.. straight.
As it is he is doing the democratic party
yeoman service. He handles the sealpel
most vigorously and most blindly-evcry
cut is in tbe bowels of bis party.

No. Party Contest Now.

The fitness, the competency, honest
and respectability ofthe Democratic nomi

sincerity by voting for these nominees an.
thereby escape that which they profess +
dread so much |! If they sincerely belio,
party contests to be injurious to the Ma

selves in getting ups ticket that is su,'

But there is no sincerity in what the

proposition only because they knew ,h-
both their name and principles were di

people at the first opportunity, and th'

What is Martial Law P

Martial Law, says Chancellor Kent, is
founded on paramount necessity by mill
tary despotism. 1t is an arbitrary law,
originating in emergencies In times of
extreme peril to the State, either from
without or from within, the public welfare
demands extraordinary legal delay. JUS
tice is suspended by the military powers,
which for the time become supreme. 1t
suspends the operation of habeas corpus /:
enables persons charged with treason to
be summarily tried by court martial in.
stead of grand jury; justifes searches aud
seizures of private property, and the taking
possession of public highways and other
means of communication. Involving the
highest exercises of sovereignty, it is, of
course, capable of great abuse, and is only
to be justified on emergencies of the most
imperative and perilous nature.

pointment, see what he said in St. Louis
in 1860 "may the God in human nature

Mr.. Editor, there is no use in multiply
ing words. The Abolition element ap.
pears to have been the ruling element in
the Republican party and this clement Of
the party being in deadly hostility 70 tho
South, the conclusion of sectionalism is
inevitable. and this principle being in pow
er in the North has caused irritation in tho
South which has resulted in secession
which is equally as bad as Abolitionism.-
Those two dangerous dogmas will havc to
be put down before tranquility will bo re.
stored. How this desirable state is to bo
brought about is the concern of all good
men. May it speedily como.

A New Daniel.

Since, upon certain occasion, and for
local purpose, the Democratic party
nominated and elected John Staley of
Greenwood, to a equity Office, the idea
seems to have entered his head, that their
action was due to his merit and abilities,
rather than to the question and its impor-
tance and since then, upon every occa-
sion, he has assumed the duties of a censor,
and has more than once endeavored to
usurp that position in the county, which
was his by sufferance only.
His venom, hatred and ma alice against
the democratic party for the several de-
feats they have given him, have at last
eliminated in that remarkable letter to the
Neac York Tribune, to which corrospon-
dent, in another column, calls our atten-
ton. Read it Its mendacity and impu.
dence are unequalled. 1t exceeds in eff.
frontery the most malicious ISLANDERS of the
republican press, and it is easily seen that
the ten years reading Mr.. Staley has given
to the Ne,o Fork Tribune have made him
most accomplished -. How unblush-
ingly he refers to the almost murder COM
mtted by his friends on two peaceable
citizens, members of his own partyl He
forgot to add that the villains fed the
country, lest the hand of justice should
reach them.
Mr.. Staley is in no personal danger
from any emocrats-they love the Union,
they respect the laws, they revere the
Constitution. And while Mr.. Staley ad-
mits his own friends to be rowdies, the
charges and insinuations which he makes
in his letter, against the democrats, not
proven and false, constitute the payment
and manifest the generosity of the man,
who is indebted solely to the democratic
party for what little position he has. He
not only desires to prolong the war, but
to spread and intensity it. He seeks oc,
casion for abuse and misrepresentation !;
he strengthens the hands of the Southern
traitors, and gives aid and comfort to those
who are carrying on this wicked rebellion.
He has earned the contempt of his neigh
bors, and they will leave him to wallow
in the mire of his degradation.
We repeat TO him what our Correspon.
dent has SO ably demonstrated-THE
DEMOCRATIC PARTY is THE
UNION PARTY. We appeal to the
past-not battle field from Quebec to
Mexico has not been bathed with demo.
cratic blood-nowhere have the glorious
" Stars and Stripes" been unfurled, but
strong armed and stout hearted Demo
Gratis have been there to fling them to the
breeze. We appeal to the present. Se-
ven tenths Of the soldiers are democrats
and they are led by such democrats as
Butler, and Mcclellan, and Patterson, and
Wool and Dix; while on the stump ring
the clarion voices Of Dickinson and Holt
and Seward himself has said
know the Democracy of the North
know them now in their waning strength
| do not know possible disunionist among
them all. believe they will be as faithful
to the Union now as they were in the by.
gone days when their ranks were full and
their challenge to the contest was always
the war cry of victory"

Republican Convention.

The Republican Convention met in
Bloomsbury and parted, We confidently
believe, never to assemble again. The
time has come for a change of programme
and a change of name, and very soon re.
publicanism will be as dead as whigism,
and know nothngism are now.
Isaac S. Munroe Of Cattawissa, having
been made president, and vice presidents
and secretaries appointed, the play began.
DR.. John moved this, and DR.. John moved
that, and DR.. John moved the other thing /;
the meeting dancing as he pulled the
strings. Finally Mr., Martz of Lightstreet,
an ambitious gentleman, fearing DR.. John
would usurp all the honors, and that his
own name would not get into print at all, /,
moved for Committee of ONE to hunt
up Mr.. Clark, and extort speech from
him, as Judge Maynard was too sharp to
be caught in this trap. Mr.. Martz has
thus immortalized himself.
The Committee on resolutions reported
the Committee of ONE reported-Mr.
Clark reportcd-and finally the Commit.
tee appointed to report candidates to the
meeting reported. They got along very
we'll, as nobody was ambitious of the honor
of being beaten for the sake of the rcpub.
licans, until the name of Stephen Baldy
was proposed for Judge-Then came a
storm. Badly was incontinently voted
out The leaders grew pale and trembled.
The no party Convention to defeat man
on party grounds-most monstrous. And
then came speeches, begging and pray.
ing.
DR.. Lott protested he had always been
republican, which nobody was disposed
to deny but he was now for Baldy.
Mr.. Munroo was very much distressed
that Judge Badly should be so shabbily
treated, admitted that he felt himself q
little out of place, something like cat in
strange garret, but he could endorse
Baldy as a " Union man"
DR.. John averred that he had always
been opposed to Baldy, that it would be a
bitter pill for him to vote for Badly, but
it would have to be taken.
We were very much surprised at this,
for we supposed it could not be very
"bitter pill' for man who protessed TO
be for the Union to vote for o man who
really was for the Union; but as DR.. John
asserts that it is SO, We have no doubt of
the fact. And it fully accounts, to our
mind, for the venom and rancor with
which DR.. John assails all the Democratic
nominees. They being all "good Union
men, of course they are very bitter
pill to the DR.. Judge Baldy doubtless
will feel very much complimcntcd, and
very much amused at the ugly faces the
DR.. is making at the dose one "good Union
man makes for him.
The whole thing was capital joke for
the boys, and the trick was so transparent
that everybody saw through it. No demo.
crat will be caught by it, and such dres-
sing as those gentlemen will get at the
October election, will be caution to them
the balance of their natural lives.

UNIoS,-Tho Douglas wing ofthe Dem
ocratic party in New York State having
refused to coalesce with the Republicans
upon single ticket, and called State
Convention to meet at Syracuse, on the
4th of September, the Breckenridge Com.
mittce met last week and resolved not to
call State Convention this fall, but to
unite with the Douglas Democrats in the
election of delegates to the Syracuse Con
vention. Thus has the Democracy of a
noble State risen above the petty divisions
of the past, and nobly joined hands for the
purpose of rescuing the Constitution and
their country. All hail to New York
Democracy Let their example inspire
others to like acts of patriotism, until the
true sons of human freedom shall have
