Such an article as the following, from the
Philada. Ledger, considering it has always
been a neutral Democratic paper is signif-
cant:
The Neat House.-The Erening Journal calls
for correction of the classification of the
next House, published yesterday in the led
ger, unless, it says, our intention is to iniure
the Democratic party. The only correction
to be made is in calling those we classified
as Republicans by the proper name, Union
lists, of whom there are so far IS elected. to
IS Democrats. The Democratic party suf-
fers more injury from its own newspapers
than it does from its principles: there never
was a party so materially damaged by the
indiscretions of its selfconstituted leaders.
aud if the latter are allowed to 90 uncheck
ed, they will very soon make the two terms
Republican and Union. synonymous.

Gen. Butler in concluding his remarks in
speech, recently delivered in New York,
makes use of the following startling sruths.
Let those who are opposing their country
in the present struggle, whether secretly or
openly. ponder these words as the hand wri-
ting on the wall pointed to their inevitable
doom:
"Let me say to you, my friends-to you.
young men, that no man who opposed his
country in time of war ever prospered-
The Tory of the Revolution, the Hartford
Conventionist of 1912, the immortal seven
who voted against the supplies for the Mex
lean War-all history is against these men.
Let no politician of our day put himself in
the way of the march of this country to glo-
ry and greatness, for whoever does so will
surely be crushed: the course of our nation
is onward, and let him who opposes it be-
ware: the mower moves on, though the
adder may writhe, and the copperhead curl
around the blade of the scythe."

A Secret Conspiracy to Overthrow the
Government.

The officers of the law have brought t.
hght conspiracy in the county of Berks
ia, the avowed object ofwhich is to caus
the overthrow of the United States. w,

meets In barns, with signs, passwords, anC
grips, evidently acting in communication
with higher power, protesting to have as
soclatlons in all parts of the country, and
having for its avowed object the abduction
OF the President, and armed resistance to
the Government.
Mr. Lyon, a detective officer, who brought
this conspiracy to light, describes a. a.meetinp
that took place on the 2lst of March, 1868,
LII barn OF Jacob Cellar, in Marion town
snip, Berks county. By those mysterious
agencies known to the profession, MIR. Lyon
had obtained knowledge ofthe meeting. and
secreted himself under the straw. In the
course of the evening a hundred men had
assembled. The barn was first searched.
and plckets thrown out to prevent discovery

IN custody, led the conversation. Accor-

that he administered the obligation, and that
elghtty-three members joined during that
evening.
After the meeting assembled pickets were
placed, passwords were used, and the MEM

By the atrOcious creed which binds them to-
gether, they declare themselves to be in IA
our of "the abduction of Abraham Lincoln
by force if necessary :" " of Northwestern
Contederacy; the resistance of the draft or
the COnscription Act" These are the fun
damental principles of the organization.
The main object seems to be the resistance
of the draft They would try the constitu-
tlonality of the conscription act, and, falling
in that, use force. This is the practical part
of the whole conspiracy. Philip Huber.

The PRESIDENT AND THE CHECK AT CHAR
LESION. = Washington, Monday April 18th.
The President regards the situation at
Charleston with confidence. He happily
corrected a visotor in the use of the word
"repulse" in speaking of the attack of the
Iron-clads. "A check, Sir-not a repulse. ="
The public feeling here is that we actually
are contending with Great Britain as well
as the rebels; and that British guns, of
the latest improvement and greatest pow
er, sent to South Carolina to maintain sla-
very and to break up the Republic, saved
Charleston on the 7th from her merited
destruction.
