For Ponce md War.

Democrats who will engage in political
strifes with fellow Democrats at the present
time should bo obotod. We look with dis
gust upon the Democrat who urges fine spun
theories in opposition to tho ideas of other
Democrats. 1t is no timo for such things.
II matters not who wo elect President, or up.
on what platform the candidate is run, SO we
accomplish tho overthrow of abolitionism
and save the country. We can all unto in a
vigorous prosecution Of political warfare
against the dospotisms, wrongs and disup
ionlsm of tho abolition party, and 1t is ouI
duty to do 80. All good Democrats will fight
tho opposition, instead of creating ieuds il

If We do not often refer to Parson Brown
low in these columns, it is because he seldom
proves himself SO true prophet as when on
tn 18th OF April, 1861. he expressed himself
as fellows in his paper
awe have become satisfied that the weak
ness Of the President and infamy of his coun
sells will result in final and complete separa
tion Of all the slave States from the Union,
and bloody civil war;"
And now that majority of the people have
become similarly "satisfed," we look around
for Brownlow, and find that, like Esau, he
has sold his birthright.

The Happy Family.

The abolition press is claiming the result
Of the election In Missouri as an administra
tIon victory. The Missouri radical papers
distinctly announce that il is rebuke to the
Presidents triumph Of the party to which
he put himself in direct opposition in his re.
ply to its delegation TO Washington. The
radical leaders, indeed, do not hesitate to
declare that Mr., Lincoln is no better than a

A Good One.

a story is told of shrewd old Quaker,
who. upon being implored by Black
Republican to join the Loyal League"
responded
Friend, thou changest thy name too
often. have known thee as Wing,
as Freesoler, as a Native American, as
a Know Nothing, as Loyal Lacquer,
and thou recollectest how many more
titles--and | cannot trust thee. When
brother Obed fell from Grace and became
a rogue, he changed his name. And ]
have found whenever men design making
their living by dishonest means they are
always likely to do the same. If thou
dost ever adopt one name and set of prin-
ciples, and hold on to them for fifty
years as the Democrats have done, may
begin to trust thee.

Union Prisoners at Richn,o omd.

Every truo man shudders for the suffering
the Union prisoners at Richmond endure, but
many do not stop to inquire who is responsi-
bic for that suffering, yet it is right every
one should know. Tho rebels do not want
tho Union prisoners there. They find diff.
Guilty cnorgh in feeding their own soldiers,
and would gladly send ours home, But a
few weeks ago, the cartel Of exchange was
suspended by tho authorities at Washington
on some frivolous punctilio, and it remains
suspended. We hold in the various military
prisons In tho East and West; some $4,000
Southern soldiers as prisoners. The admin
stration will not allow these men to DO sont
home. 1t is for this reason alone that the
rebel authorities continue to hold the 10, 900
Union soldiers who have fallen into their
hands as prisoners.

A Candid Admission from an

A leading abolition sheet in Mass achusetts

"Secretary Stanton has from the begin.

people. Nobody complains of the conceal.
ment Of army movements, or the supp ession
of any facts that might be useful to tho enc

fully informed as to the results, admits of no
excuse"

Highly scnsibic Articie---Mis-
sion OF the Democratic Party.

From the Columbus Westbofe5
A few Democratic papers carry on
oon,roversv ALREADY concerning the pollcy
..,h;ah ,b,' Democratic party ought to
saaot mh,s at the next Presidential campaign.
These warlike gentlemen had better wait,
until, the fumes of powder Of the late
election are evsporated. The result OF
the last election with its sixty thou
sand majority against us, should give
to all, who wish to learn, full opportu-
nifty for instructive and useful meditation,
and it is not absolutely necessary, that
we should now cast firebrands."
1t will be at ast from seven to eight
months yet before the nomination OF a
Presidential candidate is made. Within
such space Of time, and particularly
in these war times, much may happen
of which we do not even now dream,
"since every day makes history" and new
and surprising questions may present
themse to the public. 1t will scarce
ly be necessary TO seek or select policy
now, for probably one will force itself
upon US.
If we comprehend the matters rightly,
the Democratic organization is Tor the
purpose of carrying out certain principles;
but in order to be able to carry out these
principles. it must be successful at the
polls. Political campaigns, carried on
merely for the purpose Of making exper-
iments, whether or not this man or that
man be elected. and none other, is for
naught and labor is lost.
In the last war between Austria and
France, the Autrians were beaten in ev
cry battle because their knapsacks were
so unreasonably burdened that at every
movement they were n hindrance to them.
If q party needlessly puts weighty
burden upon its back, and in addition,
fastenes a weight of lead to its feet, it
cannot expect to conquer. Examples are
at hand, but it is not necessary to emu.
merate them here.
We are to day after the lost battle, still
as truly convinced as we ever were thai
destructive and vindictive Abolitionism,
will never give peace to the country. ol
restore the glorious Union. The Demo
cratic party must do it, and it will do it
if it only remains true to itself. 1t can
t not do it if it permits faction to rule 1t
and assign to it new paths. The Demo
cratic party cannot do it with platform
upon which only extreme men can stand
1t can do it and will do it, with plat
form, which is broad enough, that all sin
cere and true Democrats can stand upon
who in former campaigns. remained tru
Q to our party; if it then places the oil
banner with the old principles and in
Q scriptions into the hands of prominen
Democrat, who possesses the confdenc
of the entire Democracy, and then onl
will the Democrats, like tempest
, gloriously drive everything befor
them. Fanaticism, Aboitionism ant
shoddyism, will lie at the feet OF thei
conquerers, the country once more free
and the Republic saved.
This is our opinion of the Mission q
, the Democratic Party.
