Richardson Of Illinois, of the Vallan-
digham school of politicians, was the IN
ventor of the above sugar coated motto.
The traitor governor of Kentucky, Magof-
fin, who has taken refuge in Canada since
his resignation, adopted this rallying
watchword in his farewell address in which
he advised the conservatives Of the South
to cooperate with the democrats Of the
North for "tke Constitution as IL is and
tie Union as ii qoas" This ID the neu-
trail or half way house between traitors
and union men, and upon.the sign IS hung
out, "the ANTON as a. aoas." Here the ig-
norant man and the good man who don't
think may call in and be put in letters or
be lulIed with drugs and robbed of his
highest attributes. Here he may 60 on
trucking 10 the South and licking the
hands of negro catchers. True, be dares
not go among Fthe Shareholders whom he
worships, for they would STAY him and Of
his shin bones make ornaments for south
err democratic ladies; but he can vote his
love to them through the loyal ballot box
and say, "here, murderer of my country,
God bless you and help YOU to triumph
over the aboitionists." "The union as it
was" with its false constructions through
which negro slaves are made of infinitely
more account than white men, can new
er be restored but it can and will be re-
stored as it was meant to be by its franz
ers-a charter of freedom 10 all. "The
union as it was" in which treason got the
better in near one half the states, and in
which even pro-slavery democrats Of the
North could not travel South without be
ing insulted and murdered, is only dream :
ed Of by rebel sympathizers-for it never
can be restored as it was under Buchanan.
1t can be restored as it was under Jefer-
son, and shall be, unless northern traitors
triumph at the balot-box. They can only
triumph under false pretenses. The con-
stitution will also triumph as it is in truth
not as it has been interpreted by the
Taneys and Buchanans.

Anii-Ear Democracy IN Grant County.

In Wisconsin the anti-war democracy
met at Milwaukee some time ago and re-
solved to stand alone. The War section
of the party viii mainly unite with the Re-
oublicans for the Union Internationally,
slavery or no slavery, emancipation or no
emancipation, and without any respect to
"the rights Of our Southern brethren IN
der the Constitution" The main plank
Of the platform of northern union men is,
that ..irattors hare no rights aUhicA loyal
men are bound to respect" Union men
ought 10 60 just one step further, and say
that "loyal segroes are eutitled to more
respect than rebel white men," But, we
are not very particular; the country IS
coming AROUND right, not from choice per-
haps but from constraint, very much as
sinners are saved by grace-"not of them
selves but of God"
In Grant County, the rebel sympathi-
GERS hold the organization of the democrat
ic party, and they will run the entire ma
chine Just as far for the benefit Of sour
deeply wronged Southern bretheren" as
they deem prudent, and this they will do
under all shades and professions Of being
loyal, 'just as much for the union as any
body, Jut''-and too, they will even pro-
fess to support the President Every out
and out friend of jeff Davis in the county,
and there are many, will support this false
union pretending party at the ballot box
being told on the sly that these union pro-
fes,ione are but false-"we are all right
for our deeply wronged Southeru brsther-
en-"
Some old funky democrat will be run
for Congress in this district who has been
lying low and keeping dark on the war, and
who is unknown to the public. The war
democrats will be told he is all right for
tbs war, and the secesh will be told he is
all right against the war. True, here and
there will be boter but then his case can
be disposed Of BY calling him an abolition
ist-a negro-equalizing sympathiser; and
SO it will run with the democracy Of Grant
County. The war democrats will be de-
ceiyed y being led to vote for those who
preferred Breckinridge. and voted for Doug
las under protest.

Hsbeas Corpus Suspended.

The traitors of the country having de-
nounced the government in bitter terms
for sending men suspected of disloyaity
to Fl. Layfayetse, without trial, the Pres
ident has sent out proclamation which
must strike Them a blow that will SET
them at rest. Here is the order:
Whereas, 1t has become necessary to
call into service, not only volunteers but
also portions Of the militia Of tae States
by draft, in order to suppress instruction
existing in the United States, and disloyaI
persons are not adequately restrained by
the ordinary processes of law from hin,
deling this measure, and from giving aid
and comfort in various ways to tue
Instruction. Now therefore be it or
dered
First, That during the existing insur-
rectlon, and as necessary measure for
suppressing the same, all rebels and insur-
gents, their aiders and abettcrs within the
United States, and all persons discouraging
volunteer enlistments, resisting militia
drafts, or guilty of any disloyal practice
offering aid and comfort to the rebels
against the authority Of the United States,
shall be subject to martial law, and liable
to trial and punishment by court martial,
or military commission. =
Second, That the writ Of fiabeas corpus
is suspended, in respect to all persons ar
rested. or who are now, or hereafter dur
inc the rebellion, shall be imprisoned in
any fort, camp, arsenal, military prisons
or other place Of confinement, by any
military authority or by the sentence OF
any Court Martial or military Commls-
sion.
In witness whereof have hereunto set
nv hand and caused the seal Of the Uni-
ted States to be affixed. Done at the City
Of Washington, this oath day of Septem-
Der, 1862, and of the Independence of the
United States, the s7th.

To Republicans and Unconditional Union Democrats Of
Grant County

The call is to you, without any respect
to party, only so that you support the war
without any conditions, and SO Tor the
union without any IFS or bats, and support
the President in bis war measures, to as
semble at the ualplaces Of holding town
meetings in your respective towns,
On Saturday merit, IN the afternoon,
And there choose delegates to attend
the county convention-to meets Lancas.
ter on Tuesday Of the next week.
In going with us, you will be freed
from the company of southern sympathi-
sers; you will not have single traitor on
your ticket, and not have to cast your bal
lets along with the doubtful. The dems
cratic party is now recognizing, and il
you viii look around you will see here and
there man you know to be disloyal, and
he at the busy head Of the reorganization.
He has received his orders from some
head who is in turn managed by some
master agent of the rebel confederacy.
You know that the friends of the President
are loyal; you also know that a less loyal
party exists--a party whose members in
congress voted against every measure fol-
carrying on the war and that such anti
war party is the democratic party.

CoURr.-The fall term Of G rant Circuit
Court is to commence on Monday of next
week atILancaster, and will be held through
the week until suck business is disposed Of
as can be. A very large proportion of
the suits will be hindered by the absence
of persons on business of the country
And it is doubted whether a court can be
held at all after the first Of October and
until the lawyers get themselves licensed
to practice. As yet they have had no OPP
portunities TO take out licenses, there being
no U. S. Collector at hand or other per-
son authorized to grant licenses. The law
reads as follows: Every person whose
business is, for fee or reward, to prosecute
or defend causes in any court of record in
any state, or give advice in relation to
causes or matters pending therein, shall be
deemed to be a lawyer, aud must have a
license. The cost Of a license is $40. The
penalty we believe for neglecting to pro-
cure license is $500, with Imprisonment,
and for evading the revenue laws the free
dom of Fit. Lafayette is provided by the
Presidents Proclamation suspending ha-
5eas corpus. In several counties the courts
have adjourned because the lawyers were
not provided with licenses. It may be
that some of the lawyers have been able
to procure licences by calling on tie collec-
tor Of this district who resides we believe
at Monroe.

To Sugar Cane Growers.

EDS. PRAIRIE FARMER Please insert
the following advice to Sugar Cane Grow
ers, as there is great pressure Of inquiry
as to what shall be the nsodus operand
of securing the crop.
AS soon rs the seed is quite hard, Gu
up the cane either with or without top
ping, and shock it up the same al
m; if the weather, e dry, let. it lay
on the ground a day or two to dry, and
then shock.
l cut off three feet Of the TOP, before
grinding, and if the blade is dry i need
not be stripped. If the weather is cool il
may remain in shock COR weeks. This
cures the--ripe DISCRIMINATING point, as
veil as the time for grinding and boil
ing,
If the cane is green, but in tassel, cut
up the same as if ripe, always before a
heavy frost, which secures a greater
maturity than otherwise, Do you under
standl
l cleanse perfectly and boil quick to
waxy syrup and set it away to gran
ulate. When graduated put it in q
vessel with~small boles in the bottom to
drain.
Be absolutely careful 20 save only pure
seed. Mark thatl D. M. Cook.

greatest disorganizers. They voted while

The Year Of Jubilee is Coming"

Glory to God IN the highest, and
Peace and Good WI upon EARTH
Slavery and .AJolittonism to Be -A5OI-
ished Forever.
Three Rousing Cheers for tie
UuiontIi
"God Bless President Lincoln"
The World and all Iyrants upon
Earth must 5oao to Liberty.
The IFar to be Var Of Principle
and Righteousness.
Reader, on reading the Proclamation Of
the President, ordaining the abolition Of
Slavery in all the disIoyal States after the
first Of January, year of our Lord '63, the
above were some of the silent EXPLANATIONS
of orr soul-wo trust also of yours.
For over twenty years, more than to all
else, we have been devoted to the cause of
which this Proclamation is the consumma-
ton. It is to us some like the realization
of the Christian soul on entering the New
Jerusalem after long life Of service under
the sweet yoke of Jesus Christ. Early in
life we were a convert to tho cause of free
dom-not ms many we fear in latter days,
because Of ils popularity and profits; but
because Of its inherent, eternal, holy. con-
stitutional Righteousness. In all that time
We have not fallen from grace by acknowl
edging the legality or consttutionalty Of
slavery, except, perhaps in voting for
doughfaces, for which we scarcely feel able
to frame an apology suitable to carry be-
fore our God. This has been our weak
ness; but as we shall never have occasion
TO do the like again, there will be no more
temptation. Slavery will be ended before
another Presidential election to try mems
conscience. In our life we have been cal
ed fanatic, and on several occasions came
ne'r being the victim of mob violence for
advocating such sentiments as now rule
the land. Slavery, byits open treason at
last, has settled the question--just as in
all time oppression has proved its own des-
troyer We have long known this would
be the fnality, but of tie time or precise
manner, we were ignorant. There is yet
much work to do before the Constitution
shall perfectly triumph and justice prevail;
but this work is to be the mere product of
reason. We shall not have to meet brute
force under the blind guide of twenty hun
dred millions Of capital invested in human
flesh. We shall not have to meet a party
called democratic which is kept in being
with The products of the cotton, sugar and
rice fields and with the markets for negro
women, children and field hands, and ali
these run under the lash, pistol and bowie
knife. The Pickering hight of negro slave
democracy will soon go out and then par
ties be reformed upon tie basis Of free
dom-eaeh party struggling to Guido the
other for liberty. Read the Proclamation
in our paper this week.
