~ The Democratic Club meeting on
Saturday evening was one Of the most in>
teres;ing and enthusiastic which has been
held, and in numbers was equal TO any.
Judge GEORGE REED made the bes. speecb
which the Cub has listened to. It wa,
full Of eloquence and history, and in rola-
ton to the despotic acts of BURNSIDE was
full of sarcasm.
w. NJ. Nichols, ESQ, also made few
eloquent remarks, which were warmly ap.
plauded.
The Club will meet again on Saturday
evening, and able speeches may BE- expect
ed from prominent Democrats. Ths.
there will be a full attendance we have no
doubt. Why don, some of our country
friends come in some Saturday evening /?

JAMES, when the war broke out, was res

zealcns and active of the Abolition persua'
zion. As lorg as the Union was supplied
with troops by volunteers, jim was most
zealou. in his denunciaton of the rebels,
ard strenuolsly urged all his acluain'ances
to 90 and defend the glorious old flag, that
he and GREELEY denounced as faunt-
ing lie;" and die, if need be, in support OF
that Constitution which GARRISON and
Pnl,l1ps, and others of his partisan lead
or. had publicly burned and stigmatized as
"league with death and covenant with
hell" But when drafting was talked ofin
Minnesota, JIM's zeal aba,ed, and he was
suddenly taken uuwell. TIE murky and
oleagenous atmosphere Of Northwestern
Pennsylvania be thought would agree with
him better than the dry and bracing air
Of Minnesota, SO jim HE'D himself to Oil
Creek, and wen. to boring into the bowels
Of mother earth for coal oil, instead OF en-
tering the army and boring bullets into the
vitals Of the rebels to restore ths govern
ment and establish 4" liberty for the slave"
In his devotion to the better part of val

their business to stay at home-criticise

out the country. Not one Aboltionist in

the brave hearted soldiery are partici-
