ex President Buchanan, because he wise
ly refused to inaugurate civil war. 1t
was not the Administration of Buchanan
against which the people of the South re-
bclled, it was against the election of Abra-
ham Lincoln, whom they believed to be
an Abolitionist of the "highor law order,
and consequently President Buchanan was
in no wise responsible for either the acts
Of Abolitionists or Secessonists. If the
Abolitionists could have succeeded in for
cling the Administration of Buchanan into
war with the South, they would then
have endeavored to have made the Demo
Gratis responsible for all the consequences
of the war. 1t is useless for the fanatical
leaders of a fanatical party to endeavor tc
shirk the responsibility of their own con
duct. Every school boy knows that they
are justly chargeable with the present un
fortunate condition of the country.

TnE DEMoCRAT.--We feel inclined
this morning to say a word for ourselves.
Winter with It's long evenings is approach
ing when every one will want something
for pastime amusement, and instruction, IN
order that the time shall not hang heavily
upon their heads. IL is an old adage that
idlenes leads to discomfort and mischief
Every ono should avoid this, and to do so
We propose to them to take the DEMOCRAT.
They will find in its columns something
to amuse, instruct and entertain them.-
The sessions Of Congress and of the State
Legislature arc close at hand, and their
doings will be of interest to every one.--
We shall keep the reader posted on the
movements of tho army in the various de-
partments. And as many of our citizens
have left home in the ranks of the militia,
bnt who will be none the less members of
the great army of the Union, a still deeper
interest will BIZ felt to learn their move
mcnts and where abouts. We shall still
keep up the local news, and now that the
elections are over we hope TO be able to
devote more space to the literary depart,
mont. Every subscriber and Democrat
should consider himself an agent to urge
his neighbor to take the DEMOCRAT. Let
there be an energetic movement set on 70 o
at once to enlarge our list. We promise
them that they shall have the worth o
their money.

CoNvERsIoN-Presi Lincoln has
issued an order cnjoining strict observ-
ance Of the Sabbath on the part of the
volunteers, &C., in service, and reminding G
them that they may find enough to do in
the service of God and their country, with
out abandoning themselves to vice and i'm.
morality. Good. There is hope. At-
tcntion to the precepts of Christianity, at
least on the Lords day, ought to claim
some portion OF time. Would il not be
well for Father Abraham to incorporate
or add postscript to his proclamation,
from the ommandments--HTh shalt
not kill, "Thou shalt not covet thy neigh
bor's OK, nor his ass, nor his man servant
nor his maid servant" and "Thou shalt
love thy neighbor as thyself" These pre-.
cepts, it is true, have been repudatod by a
large portion of the christian clergy, but
they might be received with profit. Prea-
chers have been arrested for refusing to
pray for the President, why not make it a
Bastile offence for preacher to omit the
commandments in his prayers, also

savGooD TIMts,-The "good times"
promised by the AboIitionists are now be-
ing realized by the mechanics and working
men of this town, in the advanced prices
demanded for all articles of family consum.
ption. Coffee has increased four cents per
pound within few days, and now sells at
thirty.six cents, making it luxury in
which the poor cannot afford to indulge ---
The same may be said of sugar and mo-
lasses. Butter is up to twenty cents per
pound, eggs one shilling per dozen, and
other necessaries of life in the same pro-
portion. Cotton goods Of all kinds, which
used to sell at a shilling per yard, now
command trcbcl that price. Before the
advent of the present Abolition admins
tration poor women could obtain an OK
cellent calico dress for about twelve shil
lings now trebel that sum will not pur
chase even an ordinary print dress. In
short everything is going up to starvation
prices, while there is no advance Of TIL

IMPORTANT TO GRAIN DEALERs.-The

IMPORTANT TO GRAIN DEALERs.-The
Commissioner of Revenue decides that a
person who buys grain strictly on his own
account and sends it to another market,
there TO be sold on commission, is not
thereby made subject to any license tax
under the excise law. If he buys grain
solely for another person or firm, acting
as their agent, he is still exempt from Ii
cense. If he buys for more than one party
he comes within the provisions of section "a
article IA, and requires license as com.
mereal broker. This applies only to in
stances where grain is bought and
sent to another market for sale. When
the grain is sold by the purchaser he re-
quires dealers license, but whether
wholesale or retail, must be left entirely
to the assessor in each case.

WHAT THE CAUSE WAS. s.-The Abol.
itionists are stupid race--thicker
skulled than their brothers, the Africans.
They have not yet found out the cause Of
their late defeat. We can tell thom. 1t
was not the absence of their friends in the
army, for they have but few there now
1t was the incapacity, mismanagement
favoritism, corruption and tyranny of the
administration that did the business. The
people are not as great fools as the politi
clans take them to be---they can discern
truth from falschood, and they understand
tho philosophy of cause and effect. They
saw that the administration was running
the machine to the devil, and as they hat
no disposition to 60 there, even 10 company
with Honest Old Aoe,' they turned on tn,
breaks and let the steam off. That's the
whole secret.

How TO OBTAIN A PENsIoN.-rhcre
is no necessity for paying heavy per
centage of the pension to an agent, who
often dishonesty makes an intricate case
out of a simple one. In obtaining pension
the steps are simple. First, the declara,
ton with two witnesses is made before any
court of record, or an officer representing
it, second, the certificate of two surgeons
as to the injury received or disease con-
tracted third, the certificate of commits
stoned officer, having knowledge of the
facts, stating time, place and facts.

The Lancaster EapresS says that out
of eleven hundred men who left Lancas.

Howe are becoming very frequent, and
that there are now some five or six hun

men left camp in body and took the
