AudacI0us Assumption.

One of the most brazen -faced,rsesumq
tions that ever emanated from imItpdence
ITSELF is the pretence set up by certain
Democratic leaders, that the seltstyled
Democratic party must be restored to
power to make a successful end Of the
war They have issued Il new edition OF
the old, stale story that the Republicans
ara not competent to govern the country,
and that the only remedy is return OF
hunkerism to power This assumption
comes with exceeding bad grace from
class of politicians who were mainly in
strumental in inaugUrating this rebellion.
These demagogues seem to have forgotten
that their votes and their influence made
BUCHANAN President, and put that old
traitor and thief, JOHN 3. FLOYD, with
other traitors, CoBB, THOMPSON and
TCuCEY, into the Cabinet, to lie aud steal
and plot TREASON and rebellion in the
White House. They seem to have forgot
ten that their party organization for years
has been entirely under the control Of the
blackcst hearted set of traitors that ever
disgraccd the earth.
The Democrats who talk so fippantly
about the superiority of Democrats to rule,
seem to have forgotten the fact that only
few years ago, they secured the services
of that jesuitical traitor, JUDAH 2. BEN
JknIN, to travel from Louisiana to Maine,
to Instruct the people how to vote, and
how they eheered him in Philadelphia
and New York, and pronounced him Sir
Oracle; and how they went away to GeoT-
sia to hunt Up that tory, HOWELL COBB,
to assist the jewish thief in expounding
Democracy to the people Of the Free
States. We wonder if they remember
their fulsome iaudations Of one JEFF
DAvfs-how they recommended him to
the notice of the people as wonderful
specimen of genuine Democracy, when he
travelled Il few years ago through the Free
States 10 instruct the people in their polit-
ical duties.
In what kind of condition are these
Democratic leaders, to talk about the inn
portance of restoring the country to Dem
ocratic rule, with their garments still
covered with the lcprous spots Of treason,
BIZ their association with the yilainous
rebels of Louisiana, Mississippi and Geor
eia?
What was the arou,a.nt rcsorted TO by
The Alleghanian. [volume] (Ebensburg, Pa.) 1859-1865, 1862-11-27

Semi official advices from the city of
Mexico; by the last steamer from Havana,
have been received here. They are regard
ed as extremity favorable to the prospects
Of Mexican success. The general impress
sion conveyed by letters, both from the
capital and other towns, coming from
various persons, upon whose statements
reliance is placed, indicate that the Mexi-
can people are determined to fight TO the
last, and that they have good hopes OF
final success.
The fortfcations at Puebla have been
completed, and the garrison is deemed
strong enough to hold it against any
attacking force, but should it be lost, the
Capital the Notifications Of which are
almost finished, will be defended TO the
last extremity, and the people are deter
mined that, even if the French should
succeed in occupying the city of Mexico,
they will discover that they are merely at
the beginning of the war.
The different States are promptly send
ing in their contingent troops. General
Comonfort alone had led FIVE thousand men
from a single frontier State to the defence
of the Capital. Gen. Roias brought two
lIbuSaiu ICiC llcIii AStaNC Va - diicCO
All the reactionary chiefs except one have
sent in their adhesion to Juarez, and
their services have been issued for the
fortifications of every deiensb bic town.
The Congress is not behind the Execu-
tive branch of the Government in devo-
ton to the country. At its meeting on
the Goth of October all the Safes were
represented. On the 9th law was
passed giving President Juarez such ex-
traordinary powers to resist invasion as
makes him virtually dictator for six months
or during the war, being similar 70 those
which were conferred at the last session
on General Doblado, who has since re-
tired.
The Mexican government expects to have
month and a half more for preparation,
which they expect to improve by rallying
an army double tfat of the French, who
although thirty thousand strong, have nos
moved an inch, and will not make any
serious advance, as is believed, until the
end Of December, at which time their trans
portation, which is getting ready partly
in Cuba and partly in New York, will all
have arrived.
The French army is now absolutely
without any Mexican allies. Since Al
monte was abandoned, his followers, two
thousand strong, deserted and 1t was ex-
pected that ne would soon leave the coun.

slavery the Causc---DeEOcr
the Incentive 10 Treason.

The people of the whole world, and
more particularly the people of this country
who are really and ferveutly loyal, are
sincerely convinced that slavery was the
cause aud Democracy is now the encour-
agement of the shareholders rebellion
The proof of this is spread over the histo-
~ of the Union, III the wrongs which
slavery has inflicted on the government,
and the excesses of which Democracy has
been guilty in contributing to the exten-
sion and protection Of slavery. II slavery
had not existed, there never would have
been motive for destroying the Union =
and if there never had been an organza-
tion to take refuge in the noble name OF
Democracy, there never would have been
an encouragement afforded to arm FOR the
defence OF slavery by the destruction of Il
government founded on free principles
The Shareholders Of the south were the
fist 10 discover that either slavery or
freedom would have to give way TO the
progress and the settlement Of the states
and territories of the Union. The Demo
cratic leaders were the first to make a
clear issue on this subject, when they
used their power to advance the interests
of the institution Of slavery. History
proves this, if it proves anything. The
Democratic party wheE in power, never
had a policy but that was inlpregnated
with the Interests of slavery. Al It's
measures tended to the degradation, in a
national and political light, of the interests
Of free labor, or the elevation, in the same
light, Of the interests Of the institution Of
slavery. So persistent have been the
Democratic leaders on this subject, that,
regardless of their oaths, a Democratic
President and his Cabinet actually armed
and equipped the first traitor army, gave
ships and material to the first traitor navy
and secretly, if not openly, encouraged
the traitors to march to and sieze the fed
eral capital, as soon rs he term Of tie sad
administration had e5pired.
The Identification OF modern Democracy
with the slave holders conspiracy is as
clear as their present identity with the
open, bloody and revolving assaults OF the
rebels on the government. While history
preserves the record Of the outrages of
this rebellion, it will also contain the
proof of Democratic association with its
origin and precipitation. We might as
well attempt to separate the action and
excuse the ingratitude Of Brutus in con-
tlibuting to the death of Cesar, as essay
to DENY the influences. of the Democratic
leaders in the slave holders rebellion. All
the blood, ali the life, ali the waste of
treasure, all the desolation, all the present
and future suffering, the agony, the re-
morse, the sha;ne and The crimes Of this
rebellion must and will be Justly ascribed
to the leaders and the influences of the
Democratic party.
If there had been no Democratic
organization, with its attendant corrup-
tions, plunderings, tyranuies and abase
mcnts, slavery long since would have been
extinguished. If there had been no
slavery there would have been no rebell-
ion. Such viii be the verdict of posterity.

p@- The Government has made arrange
ments to redeem all postage stamps in
circulation, Notwithstanding its notices
forbiddiug their use as change. This re-
demption will be made in postage currency
and Treasury notes, soon as the postage
currency is sufficiently abundant to prevent
further purchases of stamps for change
If the redemption were commenced imme-
diately, stamps would be bought for the
sole purpose Of exchanging them for
currency and specializing Herewith But
this evil of speculation will soon be rene
died by the abundance of postage currency
and the public should take care that they
accept no kind of change but such as will
be redeemed by the government. Postage
stamps are money, and will be redeemed,
but the same cannot be said of any private
shinplasters.
The capacity of the government for issu
ing postal currency has from too day been
increased TO ninety thousand dollars per
diem One hundred and eighty thousand
dollars per week is distributed in the
States of New York, Connecticut, Vermont
and eastern New Jersey. Overseventy-fve

come SO abundant, that its circulation will

immobility of the armies in the field.
Again, our troops, especially those in the
East, have been very little accustomed to
marching, at least the kind of marching
Usually required by active operations in
the field.
Absenteeism is one of the most serious
evils in all our armies. Hundreds of OF
fcers and thousands of mel are almost
continually away from their commands
Many of these are really stragglers and
aeserters. In regard to officers, the evil
is being abated by summary dismissals,
and if the law could be stringently Gu.
forced against the men, it would soon put
an end to assertions. But struggling on
the march and in battle can be prevented
only by severe and summary punishment
Inflicted on the spot.
In this and many other important par
ticulars our military laws require revision
and amendment. They were mostly en-.
acted for small army, and for times OF
peace, and are unsuited to the government
of the army we now have and the way in
which we are now engaged.
Very respectfully,
Your obd't servant,
