There never has been time when the Dem
ocratic party was so earnestly called upon to
work increasingly for succcss--to work for
success that it may preserve the Government.
This they must make their first, last and only
consideration w orlS not to secure party
triumph, or the honors or emolumcnts of
office, but to redeem the Government from
the rule OF a Congress that has proven itself
TO be corrupt, malignant, and imbecie.--
Either the President must yield, if the next
Congress bc Of the same complexion as the
last o. the Union must be divided. Let this
be burno In mind, ana the Democrats BE en- =
couaged from the signs of the times to be-
licyc that, although fanalicsm is now strug-
Cling with desperate energy, it is the struggle
Of death, If We but perform our duty. That
duty is a plain onc--to walk straghtly in the
path marked Tor US by our leaders from JEF-

What could be better calculated to dis

The appointment of General McClel-
Ian to the command Of all the troops is
received with the most hearty satisfaction
by the vast majority Of the people
There are some who are so bitter in their
ancient prcjudiccS, that they continue to
utter the most Questionable language to
him, in the public streets and in news
papers. But these are in general ebul i
tions Of temper, rather the result of dis
appointed partizanship, than the deliber-
ate opinion o. the mind, and there are
very few men who do not feel at heart Il
great sensation of relief since the APP
pointment became known. We cannot
explain the course taken by the New
York Aadependem It's surely in griev'
Gus error of conduct. The announce
ment of General McClcilan's appoint
mcnt is greeted by that paper with two
columns Of the most disloyal and dis
couraging abuse of the general and his
past course, declaring that President Lin
coin has fer months beer in the habit Of
speaking in terms Of severe condemna-
ton of General Nee Clellan, and large
amount of similar gossip, part OF which
we know and all of which we suspect to
be false. This attack on the commander
of the armies before ashington, in the
paper which contains the announcement
of his appointment to the responsible po-
sition, is most certainly great wrong to
the country and deserves sharp reproba-
ton. Aboltionsm destroys the com
mon sense of some men, and the loyalty
of others. 1t leads to bitter amin Osity,
and in gratifying that, reckless editors,
have no concern for the interests of the
country.-N Y. Journal Of Commerce.

The Sqnirrci-HunrcTs Leave for

The backward movement Of the rebels
who made such near app oach to this
CITY, is known to have commenced on
Thusday night last, and ere this they are
far away from danger at the hands OF our
troops, who are now in sufficient force to
repulse, and even to attack them with
success. On account of the immense
force that so rapidly gathered here from
the interio, counties, producing safety
us, in connection with the retreat of the
enemy, General Wallace, as we are In
formed, intimated that the contingent
forces could be drawn off, and. Governor
Tod yesterday gave the order that the

In view of that ord r, the Squirrel hunt
ers, who come over the river yesterday,
will this morning start for their homes.
The cars on the Cincinnati, Hamilton and
DAYTON Railroad, which will commence
running at an early hour this morning, as
well as the cals on the Little Miami Rail-
road the first train of which will leave
at 6 O'Clock, will be devoted to their serv.

whence they came. In bidding them a

her Indebtedness to those same Squirrel

our city, armed with the best they had,
for the defense of the city. 1t was no.

What Shall We Say!

We were about to ask the Abolition
lists, what shall we say to escape being ar
rested? But it is useless to ask them,
for if we dare to repeat their precise Ian
guage we would be into limbo in less
than twenty.four hours. Base villains
who have denounced Gen. Scot: as ira
tor; Gen. Mcclellan as coward and
scoundrel; Major Anderson of Fort Sum.
ter, as selling our men to the enemy, and
charge all manner Of crime upon the
President, are trying to find some man
whom they can lire 10 Swear .taisely against
Democrats for the purpose of getting
them arrested. These are facts. These
scoundrels have been heard to discuss
their plans in the streets of Frceport.-
We may give come of their names ere
long. They shall not always 60 free from
people.
! The traitors and villains who would
! form clubs to hire men to swear falsely
against their neighbors, would do the
JaiSe swearing themselves il they had the
courage. They have the brutal DISPOSE
tion to do what they have not the courage
to carry out. Thieves have some honor
about them, but the vile traitor who seeks
! in secret manner the destruction OF his
neighbor, is at heart worse than the thief.
Democrats who have always been 10y
al to their country, should not allow any
vile Abolition Wendell Philips traitor to
aggravate them to express one disloyal
word. Stand by your country as in all
times past, and resent insults coming from
the mean wretchcs who have "laborcd for
nineteen years to dissolve the American
union," but sustain your country. Stick
to Gen Mcclellan and the other brave
men, who arc battling for the 'Constitu-
ton and the restoration of the Union
If the Democracy do not stand up for the
country it is gone. They must and will
save it from the vile devils North and
South who are laboring to destroy it
The Democracy will always be found raj
lying under the old American banner,
battling man(ully for the proud old time
honored principles that have so long bless
ed this once happy land.-Freepon { (W)
