the battle, turned aud routed our eighteen
thousand at Bull Run. But u year has

General Hancock was equal to the
crisis. Forming his infantry in minute

them in magnificent order, while rebel
foot and horse came on, Cheering, firing
and charging in gallant and imposing
style.
Our artillery wheeled and poured hot
volloys into them as they came, and over
five thousand muskets riddled through and

closing up, and cheering, and sure oftheii

Thus, swifter than can write it, u nti

why the Democracy supports
the Overameut.

In his address before the sham. De-
mocracy at Greenwood Hall, the Hon.
Geo. Z. Pugh was candid enough to utter
the following sentiments:
The reason why Democrats had sup
ported the Government was because they
intended to have II in their hands again
in the next Administration; the Democ-
racy had foreseen this trouble for years
past, and had used every effort TO prevent
it, but now that il had come they would
stand by the Government to the last
He thought there was no binding our
eyes to the fact that if the South could
sustain itself, there was an end to the
Union.
The relations between England and
ireland, Austria and Hungary and France
and Italy, only established the fact tina,
holding an unwilling people in subjec-
ton, only weakened nation. The on.
ly way to establish peace was by con.
yincing the South that this war was moi
a raid of Abolitionists, but the result of a
determination on our part to establish the
Constitution on its old basis. He thought
the Government would soon be again in
the hands of the Democracy, aud then,
and not till then, would the old flag, will
its thirty-four stars, represent perfect
Union.
That is to say, whilst the Democracy
does not regard the Union as bona fde
thing under its constitutionally-electet
Republican President, and would regart
it dissouble as soon as it is certain that
il is not to be under their own control
yet they are disposed to lengthen til,
Unions day of grace. The whole toni
of MIR. Pugh's remarks is that the UnioI
is subsidiary to "the party. - Cincinnat

devotion TO the Constitution and the
Country, squnts not q little to the con-

face and traitor, has not single word OF
condemnation for the present rebellion,
and the rebels who are keeping it up
Fault is found that the Crttcnden Com
promise was not accepted by the North
and, upon the whole, the address clearly
indicates that its authors look upon the
South no being "more sinncd against than
SHINING"
The address will no doubt meet with
favor by the Democratic presses and
small party leaders of the Vallandigham
school, but honest and right-thinking
Democrats will look with coldncss and
suspicion on the attempt to aguin resur-
rect that party, particularly SO when Of
