What a Democrat e

A Democrat is one who believes thi,
Government could "endure permanently
half slave aud half free"-as our fathers
made it-except for AbolitiOnists. He
never calls Washington "a villain for own
ing slaves" He does not take ais oath to
support the Constitution and declare that
instrument to be in violation of higher
law" He never argued to show that the
North would be better off without the
South. He never believed that the "SOuth
could not be kicked cut of the Union" ~
He never voted against ell compromise, to
drive the South out. He believed that the
war" would be ''disunion, final and eter
nal separation He could not see how O
little blood letting" would do good-nor
can be see it necessary to drive every man
10 the South at bay for the sake of freeing
slaves. He believes that the Chicago plat
form, as remedy for slavery. is worse
than the disease-and that men who pro-
fsss to be the greatest lovers of Liberty
are proved to be the greatest tyrsnts. He
believes in coin as eurreH:y-in men Of
military genius for generals, instead Of
partiza1 sycophauts to pomp add power
lie believes, judging from history aud hu-
man nature, that "lODg train Of abuses
aud usuSpatfons" are very likely to create
discord aud war.

The telegraphic stories concerning peace
conferences at Niagara Falls have q sleu-

tails are very wide of the truth. The edi-
tor of this paper hos taken part in and
been priEy to no further or other negOtia-
tions than were fully authorized, and more
than authorized; but these related solely
to bringing the antagonists face to face 10
amicable rather than belligerent attitude
with view to the initiation Of an earnest
effort for peace, to be prosecuted at Wash.

date success.
Of course, all reports that the writer has
been engaged IN proposing, or receiving,
or discussing, Hypothetical terms OF bases

Of the cichmond authorities or ot5erS, are

The Cairo Democrat gives the following
detail Of an atrocious murder by negro
soldiers:
"The most atrocious assassination that.
we believe, has come to our notice was
committed about two weeks ago. For
cruelty aud hesrtlessness we believe that
but few cases IN the history of crime can
equal it.
1t seems tbst about the time stated, two
men named Forbes and KEieger, obtained
posses at Columbus to leave for the couu-
try. When the parties had gone six or
seven miles, they were informed that
guerrillas were iDfesting the neighborbood
aud both Forbes and Kreiger thought 1t
best to return, which they did. kreiger
Put up at one farm house, aOd Forbes stop
ped at Mrs Hinchee's, which is situated
some four miles from the town, Tor CID
ner.
While al the house, an old negro inform
ed some negro guards that were 10 the
vicinity, that white man had stopped at
the house. The negro soldiers went there
and asked MIR. Forbes for bis pass: as It
h,ppeued to be in the POSSESSION at Mr..
Kreiger, who bad gone en-, the negroes
teok Forbes a prisoner and brought him
back to Columbus, where, after an expla~
nation, the authorities there furnished him
another pass. Mr.. Forbes again started
on HE journey, and when he reached the
spot we have mentioned. he was again met
by rumber Of negroes and white cficer.
One # the negroes seeing that Forbes was
uraTned, turned round and SHOT him, and
report says that the white Cficer drew his
revolver at the some time, and also fired
at HIM.
At this laneiure the party, not deeminE
that atrOcious act was foul enough stopped
over the murdered man. aDd.to maks their

Black VS.. White Soldiers.

A wounded soldier told US last week
that in the long march from the Wilder
ness to Petersburg. many of the soldiers
were completely exhausted, and laid down
by the way side to recover their strength.
they were driven mp by the point Of the
bayOnot, and compelled to march en-, while
scores of negroes were allowed to ride in
the wagOns. He says the preference
shown % contrabands is t. source Of great
dissatisfaction among the soldiers.

remains Of a.dead negro were treated with
far greater respect than those Of Ii white

white one was brought to the grave and

were brought alons at the conclusion of
the scenee Just stated. His body was de-
posted on a matrassi and a white sheet
