There was a TRADE OF some importance
pronounced against the United States by
Lord Brougham, in June last, which is
worth mentioning in this connection. He
said, in an address before the Social Sci
ence Association, Of which he is President,
that "in all ages the tendency of demo-
cratic rule has been to promote war; while
aristOcratic States, from Sparta downward,
have been fond of peace" He denounced
what we call the free institutions and de-
mocratic principles of this government as
the causes Of this, to him, deplorable civil
war, declaring that we would never have
peace and stable governments until aris-
tocratic or monarchicaI forms are adopted.
-Phi6a. North Ameyyca.
Lord BRoUGHAM is not an ignorant man,
and consequently, his absurd declaration,
which is unsupported by facts, must be
set down as a deliberate Islander against
democratic government. History does
not sustain his sweeping declaration,
which must involve the principle, that a
government, in which all the citizens have
a common interest and power, is more
prone to leopard its prosperity and hap
piness, than a government controlled by
one or a few irresponsible men, who can
hazard their country in war, as often as
ambition, or ayarice, may prompt them,
without any personal detriment Com
mon sense instinctigely rejects an asser-
ton so foolish Self-intcrest may fire.
quently urge a monarch to go TO war,
while it always restraints a democracy,
and prompts them TO cultivate peace. So
far as ancient, and, indeed, modern his
tory, up TO the time Of our Revolutionary
war; testifes, we learn that monarchies
have always been warlike. History may
be called the chronicle of the wars of
Kings. In regard TO foreign or external
wars let us compare the history of Great
Britain with our own, from 1888 to 1862;
and we shall find that while we have had
but tro wars, during a period of some
eighty years, England has spent but
few peaceful years. She has waged war
with Spain, with France, with China, with
India, and with the United States, in eve
ry instance being the aggressor. Nor has
her internal administration been any more
peaceful; for although she has her terri
tories garrisoned by a vast army, not a
year passes without bloody uprising Of
the people The testimony of history is
decidedly against Lord BEoUGHAM. De-
mocracies are naturally more peaceable
than monarchies, from the powerful mo-
tive of sey-interest Monarchies are a
violation of nature, and consequently are
standing incentives to war.

The New York Herald says

"Onr European advices informs us that
Madame GefTrard, the wife of the negro
President Of Hayti, has recently been
presented to the Emperor and Empress OF
the French at st. Cloud, and that she
was received with distinguished honors. -
Now what upon earth will our seces-
sionists say to this startling news? How
would the Ministers of the great Butter
nut Skedadderacy feel, when standing
in the French Court by the side of a real
woolky-head? That would be worse
than fighting beside negro soldiers.

paragraph:


The \. Y. Post contains the following
paragraph
The London Tines publishes a letter
from one II. G. Crittenden, of Nashville.
Tennessee, who says he has been driven
from all he holds dear on earth" by the
war, and puts forth this programme for
a compromise:
Mr.. Lincoln, Independent of his utter
unfitness for the position he occupies, is
only minority President; and we of
the South are willing to say to the
North We will meet you halfway;
VIII agree to a suspension of hostilities
that convention Of all the States NAV
be called, and a settlement come to by
its decision, by which we engage our
selves TO abide, provided said Convention
be LETT TO deliberate in absolute discon
nection from and independence of govern
ment control or influence"
We know Of no such person as II. c.
CRITTENDEN, of this place, and neither
do the oldest Inhabitants He is a
non-entity, we guess, and the loyal
men of this State would see every rebel
soused in the Gulf of Mexico, before
they will listen to any such propositions
for compromise as he offers. The rebel
lion must first be conquered by the de-
struction Of the rebel armies. The ma.
ton has been poisoned, almost fatally,
by compromises, which surrendered
principle and justice to its foes, rather
than incur their wrath by manful and
timely resistance. No more such COM
promise for us

Revelation From Castle Thunder.

Revelation From Castle Thunder. "
Aleran3er Young, an aged man. sent
from Tennessee died IN the Castle on Sqt,r-
day."
Such is the curt announcement that
comes TO us in the Richmond Examiner
of last Monday as a fit commentary on the
Rebel rule at Richmond. Could the walls
of Castle Thunder" AS they seem to
delight in terming it-reveal their dread
secrets, they wonld doubtless tell stories
of the horrors witnessed there such as to
drive the American people almost beside
themselves with fearful regrets that any
portion of this continent could have wit
messed wrongs like this as the fruits of an
accursed rebellion.
AT glance, the whole story of the
wrongs of gallant Tennessee seem con- .
pressed in these two lines Not a convict
not disgraced by crime, because for such
his own State and every State provides a
place; but patriot, an "aged" man
transported all the distance from Tennes-
see TO Virginia TO perish beneath the
| shadow of the tribunal set up by JeiIer-
son Davis, because his crime was a stead
fast love for the Union to which he had
been devoted through long life.
And yet these prison-keepers are the
men loud in favor of the writ of hQJeas cor-
pus, tender of the rights of the citizen,
tolerant of opinion, the ones in whose
behalf and in whose name the Rebel Gem
eral Lee came TO offer relief 10 clown
trodden Maryland" Only when the
"sink Of iniquity" is cleared out at Rich
mond by the entrance of the Federal ar
mics, will the world learn of the horrors
that have been enacted under the rule Of
Jefferson Davis and Benjamin; only then
will Maryland learn what she has really
escaped by remaining in the Union.

70 the Planters Of Gc@gia:
Since my late appeal to some Of you l
am informed by Bugadier General Mer-
Ger, commanding at Savannah, that but
few hauds have been rendered. When
the impressments made by General Mer-
Ger, some weeks since, were loudly COM
planned Of it was generally said that
while the planters objected to the princi-
pie of impressment, they would prompt
ly furnish all the labor needed, if an ap-
peal were made TO them. | am informed
that General Mercer now has ample au-
thOrity TO make impressments. IT, then,
sufficient supply of labor is not tender
ed within ten days from this date, he
will resort Immediately to that means of
procuring it with my full sanction, and
doubt not with the sanction of the Gem
eral Assembly.
After you have been repeatedly mott
fed of the absolute necessity for more
labor to complete the Notifications ad-
judged by the military authorities in
command to be indispensable to the de-
fence of the key to the State, will you
delay action till you are compelled to
contribute means for the protection not
only of all your slaves, but of your homes,
your iiresides, and your altras
l will not believe that there was a
want of sincerity in your professions of
liberality and patriotism when many OF
you threatened resistance to Impress
ment upon principle, and not because
you were unwilling to aid the cause with
your means.
l renew the call for negroes to COM
plete the Qualifications around Savannah.
and trust that every planter in Georgia
will respond by prompt tender of one
fifth of all his working men,
AS stated in my former appeal, the
General in command will only accept the
number actually needed.

The Newbern Progress says that the
rebels raised only about 10000 men by
the last CONSUMPTION, and that more than
three fourths of these were declared by
the surgeons to be unfit for duty, So the
CONSUMPTION, vigorous and relentless as it
was, carrying utter desolation wherever
il went, furnished less than 10000 cliec.

We take the following from the Column

The Georgia State DeFences.
The refusal of planters to respond to
the recent appeal of the Governor for
hands to work on the Notifications, shows
the real motive at the bottom of a former
refusal when they pleaded a regard for
principle as an excuse for their conduct.
We publish below, not another appeal,
but a notification from the Governor,
which all would do well to heed and save
themselves some trouble, if nothing
worse.

EXECUTIVE MANSION.
WAsHnGToS, ID. G., Nov. 1G, 1925
The President, Commander-in-C Chief of
the army and navy, desires and enioins
the orderly observance of the Sabbath by
the officers and men in the military and
naval service. The importance for man
and beast of the prescribed weekly rest !;
the sacred rights of Christian soldiers
and sailors; becoming Difference to the
best sentiment of a Christian people, and
a due regard for the Divine will, demand
that Sunday labor in the army and navy
be reduced TO the measure of strict ne =
cessity. The discipline and character of
the National forces should not suffer, nor
the cause they defend be imperiled by
the PROCLAMATION Of the day or name of
the Most High. At this time of public
distress, adopting the words of Wash
ington, in 1916, "Men may find enough
to do in the service of God and their
country, without abandoning themselves
TO vice. and immortality" The first order
issued by the Father of his country after
the Declaration of Independence, indi-
Gates the spirit in which our institutions
were founded, and should ever be de-
