Then and Now.

A correspondent of the Springfield Repub-
lican resurrects the following resolutions adop-
ted by the Clarke County (Ohio) Democracy
in 1s47, and copied from the Ohio Statesman
OF November 3oth of that year:
RESOLVED, That we hold every man to be a traitor
to his country and her sacred institutions, who by
words or deeds attempts to embarrass the Govern
ment while engaged in war.
Resolved That Hon. John Brongh is the nrst
choice of this meeting as the Democratic candidate
Tor Governor at the next election
In 1S47 the Government was engaged in
war with Mexico, and not only the Democrats
of Ohio held "evcry man to be traitor to his
country and her sacred institutions, who by
words or deeds attempted to embarrass the
Government but Mr.. Polk, in his annual
message of the Dec. previous, most distinctly
intmated that those who withheld their sym
pathy from the Government in its contest with
Mexico, or intimated their belief that the Gov
eminent was in the wrong, or that the war
was not brought about "by act of Mexico"
were guilty of rendering said and comfort" to
the enemy. John Brough then stood by the
Government, and was upheld by the Ohio
democrats as a patriot. Now Vallandigham
the vest opponent Of the Government, and
one who seeks all opportunities, by words and
deeds to "embarrass the Government in time
of war;" is the so-called democratic standard
bearer of that state, while John Brough, now
as then, stands by his Government.
Can honest democrats be deceived, and
made to believe the so-called democracy of to-
day-whch is at war with the Government
~ ae--
SO unninchingly stood by it? In 1S47 the de-
mocracy held every man traitor who did not
support the Government. just now, accor-
ding to the new code of party ethics, they are
patriots.
The Portland daily press., 1863-10-03
An Old Democrats Opinion

Peter Cooper, of New York City, has writ
ten an able letter to Gen. Seymour on national
affairs, of his politics, says the Post, "Mr.
Cooper has always been Democrat, having
shared in the councils and participated in the
actions of the democratic party for nearly
half century; bnt when the question is raised
between his fidelity to his party and his attach
ment to his country such man does not
hesitate. He believes in crisis like this
all party actions should be suspended, and
the only division allowed among citizens be
division as to who should be foremost in his
devotion TO his country aud his labors in its
behalf. When the war shall have ceased,
when there is no longer amy danger of the
destruction of that precious fabric of govern
ment we have inherited from our fathers,
when the only duty before us shall be the re-
storation of the Union in all its integrity, it
will be time enough to separate into hostile
political organizations.
"The points which Mr.. Cooper tries to i'm
press upon the mind of the Government are
two: first, the question Of saving the Union is
paramount to that of the right of the States
important as these may be in their sphere,
and, second, that there can be no harnon-
Gus and vital restoration OF the national unity
until the great cause Of difference, which is
slavery, has been removed"

MINISTERIAL MEETING.-The Ministerial
Association Of Lewiston District of the Maine
Conference the Methodist Episcopal Church,
met at Brunswick, on Monday, Sept. 9th, and
continued until Wednesday evening. A very
good attendance OF the members of the asso-
citation were present, and a very pleasant and
profitable meeting held. The Presiding Elder
of the District, Rev. Joseph Colby, presided
at the meeting until called away on some spec
idl business. Rev. Bros. G. G. Mason, Of Bow
doinham, preached on Monday evening, and
c. w. Morse, Of Hallowell, on Tuesday even
ing. The exercises of the meeting consisted
mainly in the examination Of exegesis of sew
eral important passages of Scripture, essays
on topics OF interest to the church. sketches
of sermons, and the Sabbath School meeting
of Wednesday evening" the last mentioned of
which was very pleasant and profitable sea-
son, the speakers being Rev. Bros. Randall,
Wetherbee, Baldwin and Jaques, and the
Singers the children of the Sabbath School of
Brunswick. Upon the whole, the meeting
was al, excellent one, Several of the charges
on the district were reported as enjoying prec-
ious seasons of revival, and the prayer was
that the work be extended.

New YORK, Oct. 2.
The Worlds Washington dispatch says re-
turned prisoners, who reached here to day, de-
clare that A. p. Hill still commands the Rich
mond deienses with about 5000 men, and that
Longstreet reinforced Bragg about three weeks
since with $4,000 men.
The Cabinet is said TO be equally divided on
the Missouri question. Judge Bates, who is a
brother-in-law OF Governor Gamble, and Post
master Blair, are very active against the re-
moval of Gen. Schoheld Several members of
the delegation declare to-day that the latter
will be superseded, though it is quite certain
that the President has given no assurance to
that effect.
The Heralds Washington dispatch says there
is no foundation whatever for rumors said TO
be in circulation in New York, that there has
been any interruption OF the line of commune
cation between the army of Gen. Rosecrans
and its base of supplies. The latest official
information from that quarter indicates that
matters are progressing as iavorably as can be
expected, and no apprehension Of disaster of
any kind is entertained.

Important Indicative Straws.

In Louisiana there are several sugar planta-
tions owned and managed by free negroes,
who own and work slaves the same as their
lighter-complexioned neighbors. There are
also, in those portions of the state now within
our lines, more than fifty plantations-sone
of them among the largest in the state-now
being operated by hired negroes, recently
slaves. On some OF them the operatives work
for share of the net profits, and in nearly if
not quite all such cases the experiment is
found to work well, the negroes all being slim
ulated by the hopes of reward common TO the
human heart.
In New Orleans one-ffteenth of the entire
this class Of the population pays one-seven-
teenth of all the taxes of the city. There are
free negroes in that city whose property is
reckoned by hundreds of thousands of dollars.
In the face Of such facts as these we still find
men who will labor to demonstrate the great
natural nferiority of the negro, his entire lack
of Industrial habits, and his perfect oblivious-
ness to everything like spirit of enterprise
or those sentiments which may be stimulated
by hope Of reward or consciousness of free
dom and independence. With all the obloquy
and disadvantages of belonging to despised
race to contend with, we find the free negro
in New Orleans afiordug proofs, In the
amount Of his taxable property, of business
ability but little inferior to that of his white
brother Indeed, place the white man under
the same relative disadvantages, and for gen.
erations make him the abject slave of the ne
gro, aud it may well be doubted if he, when
accidentally freed, would develope capacity
for business, an aptitude for improvement or
material prosperity superior if indeed equal
to that shown by the free negroes of the
South. What is true of the free colored pop
ulation Of the Crescent City is also true of the
same class in Charleston and other large COM
mercial cities at the South. But notwithstan-
ding these great facts-so plain that the blind
may read them-copperheads will continue to
talk of the infinite inferiority Of the negro's
brain, naturally, to that of the white, and to
declare that If freed he viii not be able to
take care of himself.

THE "NEw GYMNASTICS OF Dr. LEWIS
We have not seen the book itself, whose title
we have taken for a heading; but we have in
our possession the same authors Weak
Lungs, and how to make them Strong" and
we know something of what he calls New
System;" and believe it worthy of general en-
couragement. Having had a somewhat large
experience of the original German system;
having labored with Voelker, Lutz and Leb-
err the celebrated DIR. Francis Lieber; having
in fact introduced the German system into
this country, by sending over both Lieber and
Lutz, and by establishing gymnastics in this
city, at Brunswick and Saco, and being, on
the whole, sufficiently acquainted with its ex-
cellencies and faults to speak understandingly
of both, perhaps the good people Of Portland
may be disposed to believe me when / say
that, by the new system" of DIR. Lewis, about
all the faults Of the old worth mentioning are
avoided, about all the deficiencies supplied,
and all the exercises made pleasant and profit
able, not only for the youthful and robust, but
for the middle-aged-up TO Mreescore and
ten-the weak and the wel-nigh discourage
ed, and for women and children. We hold
physical education to be duty, a moral and
religious duty; and believing in our heart,
that, but for the bodily exercise we entered
upon after the age of thirty, when we were
threatened with breaking up, and actually
tumbled out of our chair while writing we

FROM THE ARMY IN THE SoUTH.-One of

vate letter to a friend: Seems to me there
isn't much patriotism displayed at tue North

Are they going to let the Union slide, rather
than risk their carcases on the field of battle !?

SIGNS OF THE TIMEs.-In recent number
Of the London Times we find an interesting
article on wine and its consumption in past
years in England. We make the following
extract:
During all this time, too, the price was
most extravagant bearing on its general
use. 1t was at once too strong aud too dear
Nobody could use it in the ordinary way of
drink, and few people could afford it. 1t was
preserved and only brought out on holidays,
and measured into glasses, carefully sized.like
the salt-cellar of an old Indian dinner-service
You see at once by the sinallness of the arti-
Gle, how precious the contents were thought.
Even now the public can hardly be persuaded
that wine can ever be cheap.
In this, as i'll everything else, America is
ahead OF England. America now produces
wine excellent in quality and exquisite in
flavor, as all testify who have tasted the Sam
buci wine OF Mr.. A. Speer, of New Jersey, IT,.
5. A. In our perambuations through Spain,
France and Portugal, We acquired some expe-
rience in wine, and have tasted none to excel
the Sambuci vintage of America. Wines 6e-
pend for their excellence not merely on their
material, but on their preparation; not merely
on the cultivation of the vine, but on the
management of the lamentations. All this
Mr.. Speer thoroughly understands, il we may
Judge from the sample OF the Sambuci wine.
we tasted. In our opinion this wine cannot
fail of success. 1t is already attracting con-
siderable attention in London and Paris, and
with the ladies will become general favorite
on account of its notwithstanding properties"
