In an article headed "a Slanderer" in
the last Democrat, it il denied that 81. A.

signed "Censcript" which appeared in

famous article. But we fear he does, and

compliment the Democrat pays the suthor
of "Conscript" when he calls us SANDER

If the attacks of tine Republican have

Model Peace Meetings,

Daniel S. Dickinson. whose rongh or

OF his patriotism, in the course Of a late
speech at Binghamton. described the re-
cent riots in New York, as a thee days

auspices. Mr.. Dickinson was unquestion-
ably correct in his classification, and not
less so in his proofs that the violence and
hioodshed to which these meetings gave
rise. were only foretaste of what was in
tended should be witnessed in all the larg-
err towns in the country. The evidences
of this latter fact are two strong to be re-
sisted: and quiet men even at this distance
from the scene of the late atrocities. who
go to bed at night, without fear that they
shall be murdered before morning, and
their families driven out by the flames OF
their burning houses can hardly realize
how much they owe to the stubborn re-
sistance which the constituted auth ,rities
of New York made against the Copper
heal and Peace" demonstrations by
which that city was di>graccl.

The Democrat sloses the article in re-
gard to Mr.. r. as follows:
"Assaulting a private citizen IN thi,

falsity of the charge is only equaled by the
mean unfairness. which now refuses to cor
rect the lie"

ent editor il would be "dcspicable" to

quently been guilty of the same kind Of

Friends of Rebels and Enemies of
Children. ~


The average cost of tuition in our free
schools is about Sc year per scholar. Ii
may be less. The $500. 900 of school
funds held by the Copperhead Sinking
Fund Board contrary to la,c, would, If dis
tributed, yield about 100000 year, OF
enough to pay the schooling of 5000 chill
dren. No less than ftfy children in every
county are thus robbed of years e,luca-
ton. What il would be worth to them
now, in after life. and when life is ended
in this world, God only knows, but we do

The Prospect of War with England

The extraordinary article from The
Washington Republican, anticipating a
war with England. to which we made
brief reference yesterday, appears to have
been based upon private letter from Lon
don. dated the 2lst Of July. The letter
in question states that "a preliminary no.
tice had been served upon the Government
of Great Britain. by the proper officers Of
the American Government" to the effect
that if England permits the two iron-clad
rams. now building there for the Rebels,
to be turned over to our enemies TO depro-
date on American commerce, the Govern
ment of the United States will accept the
act ss declaration of war. This is GER
tainly very important aud startling, if true,
and of the truth of the allegation tho edi-
tor of the Republican not only expresses
no doubt, but enforces it by stating that
the preliminary notice" has been follow
ed by peremptory notice. and further as
serts that the latter fact will be officially
promulgated at very early day. If the
Republican is accepted as authority our re-
lations with England are certainly threat
ening,
On the other hand. English "intervsn-
tion," which has been for long time a
subject of annoyance 20 us and of delusive
hope to the Rebels. seems to be indefinitely
p postponed since the reception of the news
Of our great victories. AT the propagation
OF the Parliament the Queens speech allu-
ded to our affairs in the following words:
Civil war continues in America. 1t in
9icts much evil not only ON the contending
parties. but on other nations. We see,
kowsver, no reason TO depart from our strict
neutrsiity."

How They Take It.

We have long prophesied that when
the DULLES and braggarts who are the au-
thors of Secession, and who yet give tone
to man-selling society in the South. are
thoroughly beaten. they will display a
degree of seryility and abjectness that
will both shame and shock all Northern
men. We are told by our private corr
respondence from Vicksburg. that the re-
suit that we have anticipated for the whole
South, already begins to manifest itself
there-that our commanders and their
subordiaates. down to the drummer boys.
are ashamed of their countrymen who a.
base themselves as these lately rampagenous
sons of the chivalry are doing whenever
they come into the presence Of our troops.
With hat in hand, with cringing bows
such as are exacted from their negroes,
with subdued voices and deprecstory
words, they ayow their readiness to do
anything that is asked. to save the little
that they have left. From semi-barba-
rians who can sell prisoners of war into
slavery, bayonet wounded captives, roast
negroes taken in arms. and dig up the
bodies of buried Unionists to make spurs
of their jaw-bones and drinking cups Of
their skulls, just this might have been ex-
pected. Slavery, as the sum of all the
villa;nies. is quick teacher Of all the
WEAKNESSES. True courage and real man.

that the President should proclaim an am
