him in its folds. We have seen the eman.
cipation proclamation Of Gen. Phelps un.
officially disavowed by his senior officer,
Butler, but by no higher authority. And
we now have the proclamation of Gen.
Hunter declaring freedom to the black
population Of what were three of the SOW
ereign States Of this Union, numbering
about 100000 Put that proclamation
and the proclamation of the President to-
gether, and tell US what they mean. Let
honest and patriotic men speak their opin.
ions freely, bravely and determinately.-
Aye, and act upon them like citizens of a
Republic whose limbs are not yet mana.
ced by the fetters OF an iron despotism.
How iearfully the present condition of
things is exaggerated when We reflect that
the influence Of the President and thu
prOmnent SeputhieNms x,pSS,EA ss,rA, ~asn
I.>rS' I,s - a.! 49, - - : IRs:ss>sNeNts
would have secured the adoption Of Mr..
Crittenden's proposition, which was really
below the Constitutional rights Of the
South; would have saved the country and
have presented the nation to- day united,
prosperous and contented people. If the
same thing had been done pending the
Peace Congress, the same result might
then have been secured. But the Consti-
tuition was lost sight OF in the worship of
an idol installed at that i'll omened Sec
tional Chicago Convention. What we
have already passed through, we scarcely
realize; what is before US, God alone
knows. Oh, shame of shames! Oh, sad
dest, direst calamity that ever beSeI ma
ton! Oh, the blindness that looked for
restored Union and reanimatad fraternity
through the instrumentality Of arms -
Where was reason, patriotism, humanity,
on both sides
If the paragraphs we have quoted be
true, they eau only mean that the express
sion in the Presidents late proclamation,
that he reserves to himself the question
whether it shall become necessary to de-
clare the slaves Of any State free, is
threat that the butchery of the white race
in the Southern States, by our army aided
by the liberated blacks, is n settled pur-
pose, depending merely upon the queS-
tions Of time and resistance. This, gather
blackness as the tempest may, sweep away
all foundations society, North and South,
as it must, thirty thousand true, patriotic,
Union-loving Democrats Of New Hamp-
shire will never cease to dcnounce and to
resist by all the m ans which the Consti-
tuition and manly courage may warrant
and supply.

Tel me the truth, Fanny, my dear
Fanny. Are you playing trick to tease
me? Remember, if cannot produce
these papers, l am ruined man! 1t
would be worse than the loss of money {;
that might replace. these cannot. Tell
me at once where they are"
"Indced, Mark, know no more about
them than you do yourself They must
be here--perhaps they have slipped be-
hind the drawer" -...
Although this is next to impossible, the
chance is not overlooked. Hammer and
chisel are soon fetched, and the back of
the escritoire is soon knocked out, leaving
no nook or Granny where the smallest
paper could remain unperceived.
Almost beside himself, Mark leads his
wife down stairs, and commences ques-
tioning her. Where is the key? on the
ring-it has not been out Of her possess
ion. Has she been out2 No. Is she
quite sure of that? Quite. Besides, as
she ventures to remind him, the locks
have not been forced, nor is aught else
missing, as would have been the case il
thieves had entered the house. In Iun-
controllable agitation, the bewildered
young man PAGES the room, while Fanny,
unable to proffer advice, or assist him
with any reasonable conjecture, watches
him in trembling silence. -----.. --.--

LEcTUREs.-Mr. Fitch's lectures, for the ben
eft Of the NJ. E. Church, drew out an apprecia-
tive crowd, Notwithstanding the disagreeable-
ness Of the weather. OF course they were en-
tertaning, well delivered and we'll received.
Fitch is certainly on attractive speaker, and
generally does justice to his subject. His next
lecture will come off when the weather settles
rather an indefinite time.
CIGARs.-Henry Radjesky, at the. Cary House,
who. it's said, plays tOlerable game of whist,
has lately received some fine cigars and tobac-

something they can appreciate will give the

CoNTENPT.-A. P. Dudley, Esq, of Cal
averas county. was arrested on the 4th
instant, by the Sergeant-at-Arms Of the
Assembly, on motion OF some silly mem
Der, on the charge of contempt. The
Sergeant alarms would have his hands
full if he arrested every man who enter
tains and has expressed the utmost con-
tempt for the Assembly. Men of all par
ties in this county think it would be a
difficult matter to get more contemplate
body of men together than those compo-
sing the present Assembly of California.
We admit there are n few respectable
men in the House, but not enough to
make that body respectable in the eyes of
the people. They have made themselves
the laughing stock Of the State, and &C.
CURED an unenviable reputation as weak,
vain and worthless Legislators. The peO.
pie will get rid of terrible curse when
they adjourn sine die.

THERE was class Of politicians in this
county not long ago. says the Chillicothe
(Ohio) Adrertiser, that ridiculed the men,
bers of the Democratic party as Union
Savers and Peace Men," and who pro-
fessed to believe that the Union was Of
very small account The effort to restore
the Union to what it was in the days Of
Jackson is costing the Government only
about So, 100000 day! People never
fully appreciate the blessings of health
until they are Frustrated on bed of sick
ness. Had the Administration needed the
warnings and adopted the policy of the
peace men, instead Of following the advice
of the fanatical Abolitionists, war would
have been avoided, and our nation would
be the same as it was in the days of
Observation-Disclosures, prosperous and
happy.

New RECEIPT.-We find the following
receipt for making an Abolitioni>t," in
the Alba (IOwa) Gdzcttt. IL it docs not
accomplish the object for which it is in
tended, if taken according to directions,
why, there is no nse in trying further.
The author should receive patent and
proftSsorship Immediately. Here is the
receipt:
Take the herbs Of hypocrisy and the
roots of ambition two handSfull, Of pride
two, two ounces Of vain glory, brui>e
them in a mortar Of contention with a
pestle Of discorl, thcn'boi! it over the fire
Of scditon, and strain it through a cloth
Of rebellion into bottle Of envy, and stop
it close with cork of malice, seal it over
with cloth Of sclf-righteousneSs; then
let il stand until you STE scum Of false
hood rise to the top. Then take two
Spoonsfull every night on going to bed.
Work it off with lengthy lecture and
pitiful sigh, with hypocritical prayer
and deceptive groan. 1t will produce
sdch an effect that you viii think of moth
ing but defrauding and undermining your
neighbors and set tories and fools to rule
the nation. 1t is thought that this re-
ceipt, well attended to, will make a lead
ing character among the AbolitionistS.

Correspondence Of the DcmOcri
Indiana Democrats.
GAINESVILLE. April s. lS6:

GAINESVILLE, April 8, 1862.
EDITORS DEMOCRAT: Accept the thanks
Of eleven Indiana Democrats Of this pre-.
cinct for the stand you have taken on the
side of Jesse D. Bright, who was driven
from the United States Senate by Sum
ner, Wilson, Trumbull and other Adolf
ton traitors because he would not sing
hosanna to the Black Republican party.
What right had the Abolitionists to dis
franchise our native State? We voted
for Douglas for President and CONFESS for
Governor, but we object to being classed
with those Union Democrats who say it
was right to rob Indiana of her Senator.
Douglas would have stood up for the
rights of the Democracy of Indiana, and
would have castigated Sumner for his
abuse of power. Don't call the papers
and men who say il was right to expeI
Jesse D. Bright from the U. s. Senate,
Democrats. Rest assured of one thing,
every Indiana Democrat in California,
who is not seeking Office. will vote against
the men and party that approved the ex-
pulsion of Jesse D. Bright from the U.
s. Senate. have cOnversed with a num-
Der Of Indiana Democrats, and they all
agree with me that it was an outrage to
expel Jesse d. Bright. He is an old and
TRUE Democrat, and has worked for the
Democratic party in season and out of
season, was one of General Jackson'S
warmest supporters, and when such a
man is turned out of the U. S. Senate on
party grounds alone, it becomes national
affair, and it is the duty of every Demo-
crat of every State to stand up for the
rights of the Democratic party, which are
endangered by Abolition fanaticism. An
injury done to representative of the par
ty, is an injury to the whole party. as |
view it and the Democrats of Indiana in
this State are determined to make it
party issue.
The question with US and what we want
to find out is, do the leading Union Dem.
Ocrats indorse the course of their papers
on the expulsion of Jesse D. Bright9 II
they do, let the facts by published broad
cast, and my word for it, no Indiana Dem
ocrat will vote with them.
Yours in Democracy,
INDIANA DEMOCRAT.
