Last Tuesday week, the 18th inst.
posters were circulated, announcing thai
'glorification meeting would be held al
Corbin's Hall. in the evening. All loyal
citizens were invited to be present and
participate in the general jubilee over the
victory at Fort Donelson.
Without intending to criticise the mo-
tiyes OF those who were instrumental in
getting up the call, and were the main
participants in the meeting. We must SLY
that such proceedings are Of doubtful
propriety, if not positively in bad taste.
The victory was great one. and one for
which every patriot is truly thankful but
to get up .glorifcotion meeting while our
bleeding. dying and dead soldiery lie ex-
posed on the battle field, may be very
patriotic. but certainly does not exhibit a
very humane. sympathetic feeling for
those who died to win the prize.
A correspondent of one of the city pa
pers. writing from the Fort. after the sur
render. says that not soldier--many Of
whom are supposed To be impervious to
the emotional feelings over the bat
tie field and returned with dry eyes yet,
soon after he news of the victory was re-
ceived here, glori6cation meeting was
called. to rejoice over it. Have We not as
much sympathy for orr fallen countrymen
as the soldiers, Injured to the hardships oil
camp life?
At the risk Of being called secession
list. we give it as our opinion that the
meeting was improperly named 'glorifi
cation meeting or. if rightly named. il
did not exhibit as much sympathy for Owl
fellow creatures. as patriots are generally
supposed 10 have.

"SENFE-E EEGEES1I."

The last RepuJl;can. in commenting on
40 item which appeared in the DEMOCRAT
two weeks ago. stating that the correspon.
dent Of the Philadelphia Press estimated
that the expenditures of the Government
were 100000 per day.-says it doubts
very much whether the correspondent Of
the Press ever made such statement.
The Republicans doubts amount to moth.
ing. /, says. If lie (the correspondent
did, he stated falsehood. as the expeu-
lures, thus far. have not exceeded. on an
average. Sl,5OO,0OO per day. What
does the editor mean by thus far? If he
means since the organization Of the gov
eminent, he is doubtless correct, as the
economical Democratic administrations
which have preceded the present profit
gate Republican administration. SO con-
we're only about ne-t~entieh what they
now are. But If he means within the past
six months. he is wolully mistaken. Ii
was stated by Republican member OF
Congress. (Mr. Van Wyck. Of New York
we belieye. that the expenses of the gov
eminent were nov. after the purchase Of
nearly all the necessary arms and accou-
irements, Orer two million dollars per
day.
But the most remarkable PORTION Of the
Republicans article is the following:
''What is the simple English Of the
above quotation? Is it no, that it was the
duty of the Republicans to cheerfuly yield
all their political principles and permit
slavery to 20 where it pleased. in order to
pacify the slavery prepagandis,s and pre-
vent them from attempting to destroy the
Union? Rather than submit to such un-
reasonable and anti REPUBLICAN demands
we would say let us welcome civil wal
with all irs horrors-let our rivers run
blood and let us pour out the treasure Of
the nation ike water"
The simple English OF the above quo
tation,' is just what Democrats have char
ged on the Republicans. that they consid
er the Chicago Platform. as an enunciatior
of their principles. paramount to the I'm
ion, the country. and all other consiJera
tons. . Let us welcome civil war with al
It's horrors-let our rivers run blood, anC
let US pour out tie treasure Of the na.ior

THE SENTIMENT OF THE
ssREPUBLICAN.''

"Let us welcome civil war with all its
horrors--let our rivers run blood. and let u
pour out the treasure Of tie nation like
water" says the NJ C. Republican. rather
than give up one principle Of the Chicago
Platform. And to that policy. which has
been steadily adhered to by the Republi.
cans since the organization of their party,
are our present troubles attributable. Nc
compromise with slaveholders,' was their
motto, and as compromise was essential to
eminent was founded.
We have already harvested some OF the
fruits of this policy. We have experien.
ced some of the horrors Of civil war our
rivers have run with blood and the treas
are of tie nation has been poured out like
,roter. None will deny the truth of the
statement relative to the pouring out OF
the treasure. The stream that has. with
in the last year. issued from that depart
ment. compared with tina, of former times,
is like the Falls Of Niagara compared to
the most Insignificant mountain rivulet.
1t makes no difference to the Republican
where treasure goes. or how it is expend-
ed its only desire is that it may continue
to pour. About ninety thousand dollars
have poured into the pockets of one G.. D.
Morgan, brother. in-law of Secretary
WelIes. Some millions have poured into
the pockets Of Fremont's friends in the
pockets of Pennsylvania horse contract.

the pouring process.

present at the inaugural of jeff. Davis.
and states that no enthusiasm was mani

that an official dispatch had just been re-
ceived of the fall OF Nashville.

EMANCIPATION A NECESSITY.

1--WE pity the man afflicted with mind
capable OF believing that there can be re-.
turn Of peace aud security before slavery
in Secessia be destroyed. The conviction
OF loyal men is that Slavery caused the war
this conviction daily gains ground; after
the war il will become still stronger; there
fore, the restoration Of the curse will pre-
vent the restoration of confidence.
"Our Government. even If it were SC
resolved. can no more resume its past rela
tons to slavery than full grown man ca
again become boy. 1t might destroy
the Republic in the attempt, but it could
not reverse the course of events. and re
store slavery to its former position. The
idea involves an absolute contradiction
and is both intolerable and impossible. II
is not for timorous and faithIess men Il
ask. how can slavery be abolished I? for its
abolition is become matter Of nccesSit,
and must be accomplished but the sien
cling ard unanswerable question is: VIVA
shall We do with slavery If it be not ab,l
ished?"
