w hat to do With a Green Back.

There is just now, way of using ono OF
Uncle Samuol's paper Dollars so as to get
back the worth of many gold dollars in
single year. Everybody has heard of Seth
Boyden's wonderful new Strawberry

that the Agatcuh3riSt is large Journal,
of 80 pages in every number, is beautifully
got up and is illustrated with many pleas

coin through his mouth piece edited by
Forney, says, "the question of enforcing
the Presidents Emancipation Proclama-

which it will become the test of popular

bound by it. 1t would appear better il

True as GOSPEL.

The Democratic party has ruled the
country for over fifty years and has given
it all its glory and greatness, The few
years Of opposition rule has brought upon
US all the calamities we have ever been
afflicted with as a nation and all the op-
pressions and tyranies we have suffered as
as individuals. The Democratic party is
the only covering over capable of proser-
wing our republican institutions.

PRospECTs OF AN INDIAN WHR AS
had been feared, Gen. Siblcy's late expe-
ditiou seems to have had little effect in
bringing the Indians OF the Northwest in
to subcction A letter dated st. Pau ,
9Th ult., says:
1.-THE Indian war is not at an end by
any means. On the contrary, it promises
TO be much more extensive, and to cover u
series Of years. There appears to be a
general feeling of hostility to the whites
among all the tribes between Lake Supc-
ror and Fort Benton. Not only the whole
Sioux nation is now aroused, but those
more treacherous devils, who are styled
the Ossinibcines, are leaguing together fol
a war movement upon all the whites who
shall venture within their borders. And
nearer by, the Chippcwas are only await
ing fitting occasion to raise up in rebel
lion and massacre the settlers along theil
frontier. Their cnmity is vastly more tc
be dreaded than that of the Sioux, as they
are better fighters, especially in the woods
On the prairie, too, they are not much in
ferior to the Sioux but for sneaking ant
prowling about they have few equals
The Government will be vexed exceeding
ly by these outbreaks, as an Indian wal
generally absorbs much more time thar
any other"

The Age.

We have at different times recommend
ed, in the highest terms, this excellent
Democratic paper 10 the friends of popu-
lar rights and free institu. ions. 1t is one
of the best political and literary journa ais
in the country, and the more we read it
the more highly we appreciate it. Like
the glorious party whose principles it es-
pouses and SO ably advocates, it stands
the test Of time, and grows in power and
influence, through Abolition SANDER and
persecution. Those of our Democratic @
friends who reside where the Daily Age
can be obtained should read it regularly,
and those who are not on the line of rail =
road connection should take the Weekly
edition. 1t affords US the greatest pleas
ure to learn that the circulation of the
AGE throughout the State is already very
large and constantly increasing. Demo
Gratis can in no way do greater service to
the good cause, than by supporting and
extending the circulation of The AGE.

The Great Abolition FiZZleS.

Last Saturday, after much drumming
up for recruits, by DR.. Pee John, with the
announcement that the Union Convention,
would meet to nominate County Ticket
&C., meeting took place in the Court
House when Capt. Clark deemed it inexpe
dent 10 select County Ticket, and the
thing went overheard. With the aid of
an imported speaker, and other promised
attractions, the abolitionists of Columbia
county can't make show Of opposition
and expect to simply look on and see us
elect our Ticket. Hopeless and helpless
indeed is their rotten cause.
Another .4JOIition E22le, took place in
Market Street on Tuesday evening. When
the Democrats announced that they would
hold a Meeting, in the evening, at the Court
House, the aboltionsts sent out runners
and called upon Charles M'iner, rene
gade democrat, to get up an opposition to
swamp the proposed democratic Meeting.
They collected their dismayed forces -
burned tar-barrels and Wue-HgAts (as did
their forefathers during the Revolutionary
War;, beat the drum and blowed the fife,
but the thing wouldent 60. 1t utterly
failed-6zzed out.

A True Spirit.

WILLIAM NJ. ANDERSON, Of Ohio, has
brother upon the Abolition ticket now
before the people of that State. In re-
Gently defining his position as Democrat

The closing sentiment in the above par
agraph is worthy of the best days of the
Republic. 1t shows the stuff that the
sterling Democracy of Ohio are made Of
and its spirit should be emulated by every
Democrat in the country. The men who
in all ages resisted the encroachments oI
tyranny, and, if called upon to make
sacrifice, were willing to die for the cause

TIE Editor of the ",Sn1m Machinc," is
constantly harping at Judge WOODWARD,

outside of the State was unconstitutional.
But in looking among the advertisements

" A Joint Resolution Proposing Certain
Amendments to the Constitution" 10
publish this advertisement, Pee John is
paid out of the State Treasury. Now,
what are these amendments, we ask =! The
first one is to allow soldiers to vote. II
then, it be necessary to have a constitu-
tional amendment to allow them 10 vote
how can Judge Woodward be blamed foi
deciding as he did, for is he not sworn tc
decide according to the Constitution ?
Yet the very fact that these amendment!
are proposed is the clcareSt evidence thai
without these amendments a military vote
is unconstitutional. 1t is fact, then ,tha
these men charge Judge Woodward, ant
accuse him, because he acted up to tn,
letter OF the Constitution. This show
their inconsistency and rascality, for the,
all know better.

Colorado Territory.

Governor John Evans, of Colorado, now
in this city, makes some interesting state
ments respecting the affairs Of that Terri
tory. He has made an important treaty
with the Ute Indians, by which they cede
ali the mineral lands in their possession.
Governor Evans is endeavoring to procure
a ratification Of that treaty.
Colorado contains population equal TO
that Of California when she was admitted
as Stste--ffty thousand. The immigrs-
ton this gear was over fifteen thousand
and is increasing, The capital, Denver
City, has over six thousand population,
and great improvements have been made
within the last year. The gold quartz
mines in the Territory are the richest yet
discovered, and capital for developing the
precious metal is flowing freely into Colo
rado. We may look for a wonderful in
crease in the product of gold from that
region. The Legislature has tEo-thirds
majority Of unconditional Union members.
at its last session the United States
Senate passed an enabling act for the sd-
mission Of Colorado, but It failed in the
House for want Of time. The present Con-
gress win undoubtedly pass similar act
promptly, and the new State will thus take
part in the next Presidential election.
Governor Evans was formerly Of Chi
esgo, and still has large property there.
