destinies of the nation. Never were men
more egregiouslys mistaken but that ID
their plan, aud 1t rests with the people OF

Here we have been plunged into cause
less war by the South; have struggled Tor
several years through sens of blood to put
an end 10 it; have sacrificed thousands OF
valuable lives to vin,icate the national au-
thority: and the Democratic party coolly
comes forward ana proposes that the war
shall be ended, not by the submission of
the rebels, but by the SUBMISSION OF the
! loyal North to the will of the rebels The
Democratic party of the North, as 1t now
stands, is the rebel party pure aud simple
| 1t has deserted the national standard
abandoned even its own precious cry IN
favor of the Constitution and the Union
and stakes all on the issue of peace, igno-
/ minious, bitter, disgraceful peace-the
peace OF submission to rebel despotism
| the peace of perpetual slavery 49,,
| If the peace they now seek could be
| inaupurated, the whole North would be
converted into one vast hunting GROUND
| for the fugitive slaves of rebel masters,
liberated by the events of the war. We
should have the insolent rebels, who have
slaughtered our kindred in every battle
I field of the war, boasting of their achieve
ments here at our own doors, and laug hing
at the credulity of Republican Admins
Itration which could trust the loyalty of the
northern Democrats. Weshould have oul

stupidity; and the worst is, that in suct
case we should undoubtedly deserve it all
Pennsylvania can prevent this. She cal
turn back the tide of rebelsympathy which
has been sweeping over the north. Sh'
can give an effectual death blow to thi!
despieable conspiracy against the psrpe
tuity and liberties of the republic.

In October next Governor is to be
elected in each of the great States of Penn
Sylvania and Ohio. In the latter Vallan-
digham is the Democratic candidate, and
in tue former the Democratic candidate
entertains the same views precisely. The
Democrats are making extraordinary efforts
to carry both, because the possession of
the gubernatorial office in three such
States as Pennsylvania, Ohio and New
York would enable them to harrass the
national Administration to their hearts
content. For time these men claimed to
be as much opposed to the rebels as the
Union men, and TO be as sincerely in favor
OF the war and it's prosecution. But all
that is changed now. The thin Disguise
they then attempted to assume is thrown
away. The war is uniformly denounced
by them, and the policy of the party. as
now ooth declared and put in practice, is
to oppose 1t by all practicable means
They oppose the CONSUMPTION unanim-

Rebel Papers:

We have lately been in the receipt of a
good many Southern papers from our
friends in the army and others. We are
greatly indebted for these favors and would
say to the boys that nothing is more accep-
table to us these times.
Among others we are specially indebted
to Capt W. H. Parker of the 9Th Virginia,
for quite an assortment, including some
specimens of rebel quartermaster accounts,
printed on the hardest looking paper we
ever saw in our lives.
We are also Indebted to Capt. Charley
Booth for copy of the Vicksburg Daily
Citizen, printed on very inferior article of
wall paper. When the half sheet is folded
up it looks like brick bat, being red and
grained just like one. 1t was copy of the
last issue previous to the surrender. No
doubt better work is now being done in the
same office by "Lincoln's hirelings."

yet been published. 1t is probable that
Major General Hitchcock will be the Pres
ident. It it rumored, however, that he will
decline 10 act as the President of another
court martial, feeling highly aggrieved at
Secretary Stanton's late order dissolving
the court of which he was President, and
commenting severely upon its findings in
the Casbell case. Major Genera Hitch
cock is considered one of the profouudest
military jurists in the country, and the
general officers associated with him in the
court recently dissolved are among the
oldest and most experienced in the service.
The finding made in the Casbell case then
was one strictly, no doubt, in accordance
with the regulations and the evidence.
