A Democrat in Principle not in

~ have been a life long democrat revelinr
in the sublime theories of jefferson. and
rejoicing in the memorable illustrations of
jackson. These eminent Democrats taught
their yotarics that all men were created
equal, and that the Union must be preserved.
But while their true followers are proving
their adherence to early teachings and are
illustrating their faith bv their works. a
spurious edition has been issued, stealing
the hOnored Democratic name for the pur-
pose of giving aid and comfort to rebellion.
as the hypocritc "stcals the livery of the
Court OF Heaven to serve the devil in"
They issue bulls of accommodation with
m assurance which would command pre-
MUM On brass, and while there are some
Democrats who defy their Importance and
scorn their fulminatons. there are vet many
who fear they shall be lost if they scperate
from the Democratic organization, however
spurious or artificial. But let all Democrats
from principle be strong in their cherished
faith. When Judas passes for a true disc;-
pie, and Arnold for patriot when rats
take the rank Of lions, and mousing owls, o.
eagles, then those who turn the cranks for
the hand organs of party and grind out
political music during the lite-struggcs of
the only free Government on earth, will be
esteemed, in the popular judgment, worthy
descendants of jefferson and jackson and
representatives of their principles

ksebeI EabOrs Ina Ilic North.

The rebel agent in England, Maurv, in
his letter to the London T'imts, showing
that the prospects of the South were never
brighter than now, makes Il remark of
which we had Il mention by telegraph, bu.
which is so much more striking as given in
full by himself that We think it worth
while to repeat it. He is speaking of the
plans OF the rebels, and their mode of opera
ting in the North to offset the tide of mill
tary reverses which in the first weeks of
July ran so strong against the South :" and

that party can surround Mr.. Lincoln, and all
the difficulties that il can throw in the way

South"
According To he confession of their own
agent, then, il is the rebels OF the South who
are intriguing here in the North 10 bring
about "dissensions among the people and
