HORACE GREELEY lectured recently in
Chelsea. He prelaced his lecture with
the reply of Byron to the critics." If
you allow the devil to speak at all, you
must not expect him to speak as cler-
gyman, "-claiming to speak in his own
way. The Telegraph says: d" We don't
know how the devil would speak but if
he is no better speaker than Mr.. Greeley,
we pity him."

DEAD PARTY. The Abolition editor
of the Butte Record announces, with great
glee, that
"Out of the one hundred and twenty
members of the Legislature, there were
but eighteen who voted against the rcso
luton declaring polttical parties ertjnct.
Eight Of these were members of the late
secession peace party. This exhibition
n pntrtOtism should cause blush of
shame to Jingle the checks" &c.
Are political parties extinct? Is the
Democratic party dead? lie is fool
who says or believes anything of the kind.
Last September the Democratic party was
defeated, but not conquered. 1t still lives,
strong. pure, hopeful and undsmayed, and
fears not the opposition Of manly enemies
nor the shameless treachery of pretended
friends. 4 resolution declaring polti
cal parties extinct" this miserable apos.
tate, who is indebted to the Democratic
party for numerous favors, calls an "exhi
hilton of patriotism"! To show what lit
tie regard he has for his own assertion, in
the same article he calls upon the Repub-
licans to rally to the support Of the Union
Democratic party. Fearful that he had
gone too far and that he might offend his
Republican allies, he blunderingly ex'
claims
:" In the present crisis of the Govern
ment, the people only desire Constitu-
tional Union party"
\ queer bird is the editor Of the Record.
He first rejoices at the declaration that
political parties are extinct; then he
imploreS the Republicans to join the Dem
ocratic party; and then he hastens to re-
tract and apologize and assure his read
ers that the people only desire a Con-
stitutional Union party" 1t is evident,
by his own showing, that he is a political
HeSsian, ready to betray benefactor or
embrace principle for consideration,
and looking out for the strong party, it
matters not what platform it may promul-
gate

p.moerstIe Re.olut,on..

The Democrats in every State arc Ia
king strong grounds against the suspen-
sion Of the writ Of hGbeGs corpus and the
arbitrary suppression Of newspapers. In
this State none but Republicans and Ado.
litiOn Democrats apologize for and sane
ton the outrage. The Democrats Of Con
nccticut, at their recent State Convention,
unanimously adopted the following reso-
lutionS:
" ResOlrcd. That the present extraor-
binary condition of our national affairs, in
which we have been involved through the
perniciOuS counSels of fanatics, urgently
call upon every Democrat to again rally
under the time-hOnored banner of that
political organization which has, in war
as well as in peace, in prosperity and adj
versity, ever proved faithful to the Con.
! stitution, the Union, the government and
the laws, and which banner we will con
tinue to blend with the glorious stars and
stripes.
Res0lred, That in rejecting all PROPOSE
tons likely to result in satisfactory a6.
iuStment of the matter now in dispute
between the North and the South, and
especially such measures as would have
secured the border States to the Union,
and hearty cooperation on their part in
all constitutional and legal measures to
procure ,he return of the seeded States,
the Republican party assumed fearful
responsibility. acted in utter Disregard OF
the best interests of the whole country,
and stamped itself as wanting 10 p4triot-
Is, AID destitute Of that political priociple
which shDO|6 lsa5&I5fe~-G Pnrey- ndvfffS' in
its hands the drStinies of great people
ReSOlred. That the suspension Of the
writ Of hGbeas corpus, and the arrest Of
freemcn without due process of law, in
States where there is no prrtence of a
military necessity therefor, is inconsistent
with the principles Of free government
and is utterly condemned BY the Demo-
cratic party Of this State.
The preamble truly states that the
Union cannot be restored until the prin.
ciples and spirit of Democracy prevail
in the administration Of the Federal gov.
eminent, and that the triumph of the
Democratic party offers the only reaSora-
Bile hope Of awakening the dormant Union
sentiment Of Sr>" a.
DC aroused 10y the assurance If safety and
equality in the Union" For uttering
precisely such sentiments as these we
have been called, by knaveS and simple
tons, enemies of the Government and
traitors to our country! We rejoice that
the Democracy of Connecticut and Of
every other State in which Conventions
have recently been held, indorse by reso-
luton the principles we have advocated
in the DEMoCRAT since its establishment.
1t shows that we have not dcviated in the
slightest from the ancient landmarks Of
the party; and that neither threats nor
persecution can make loyal Democrats
renounce their principles

manifested any disposition to emancipate
the slaves? All who have read the pro-

atively. Congress has, in fragrant viola

in the District of Columbia. The Presi-
dent has approved the act. Pretty strong
evidence that the Rev. Mr.. Denison spoke
truly when he said that the President,
majority Of the Cabinet, and majority of
Congress were in favor of continuing the
war until every slave was set free.

Eg The war news, this week, is of an
encouraging character. On Saturday last
there was very bloody battle near Gull
pepper, Va, in which the rebels acknowl-
edge loss of 1000. Our loss was prob
ably not much less. Gen. Banks with
about 1000, was attacked with force of
about 10000. Both sides were to much
crippled to make an advance, and no
move was made till Monday, when Stone
wall Jackson, the rebel commander, re-
treated towards Richmond.
On the Potomac, our forces came very
near having a fight on Malvern Hill.
Our accommodating Division took possession on
Tuesday, and on that day all the Generals of the
army went up, and Gen. Mcclellan sent back for
the greater part of the army but the messengers
took the wrong road, and were thus delayed so
long that the troops did not reach Malvern Hill
until it was too late, and only portion of those
sent for arrived and those only in season to beat
a hasty retreat. This was on Wednesday noon,
and on that day great battle could have been
fought had our forces arrived in season.
But as some of them were approaching and in
sight of Malvern HILL there was very large force
of rebels seen coming from Richmond, numbering
at least TOO, 900 men, filling all the roads, passage
ways and vacant lots as far as the eye could reach
retreat was accordingly made to Harrison's
Landing.
Gen. Mcclellan had planned for a great battle,
but the enemy were not asleep, and have taken
possession of Malvern Hill with an immense a.
