APATHY OF THE PEOPLE.

The leading Democratic papers are greatly ex-
erciseda at the popularapathy. The n. Y. World,
the Journal of Commerce, and the rest of them
are greatly troubled by the fact They can account
for it only upon thetheory that the nationis fore
doomed to hopeless ruin and that they have bro t
their lamentations and warnings to a poor market,
Like the children the parable speaks of they have
pipedto the people and they would not dance, and
now they mourn to them and they viii not lament.
There seems to be no courselef open to these un-
appreciated prophets but to hang their harps on
the willows and sit down and solace themselves by
weeping over the apathy of the people And now
theyaretryingt to get up lamentabe howlin cho-
rus, with poor success and no sincerity.
1t is not that the people are Indifferent about
the successes of the war, the salvation of the T.
nen the destruction of slavery any of the great
matters that engross men Of genuine patriotism,
that brings grief to these afflicted men, In point
ctthee are not matters that they concern them
selves much about. What troubles them is that
the people do not see, and cannot be made to see,
that they are losing their liberties that there
is already no freedom of speech or ofthepress left,
and that if things 90 on in this frightful way, in
year or two more, the white men on this continent
will all be slaves aud the negroes all masters, or
else the two races will mutually deyour each other
and the land viii be desolate. Daily and nightly,
in all possible form of horror has this terrible pic
ture of the future been drawn and set up before
the people, and still the people remain apath-
etic. They evinee no alarm at the croakings nor
are moved by the bodings Ill, so beseechingy
made by the ill-omened prophets of woe to their
country

THE NomINATroNs.


The Baltimore nominations Of Lincoln and
johnson are every where received with enthusiasm,
From Maine to California demonstrations Of salts
faction and reioicings are made. This was to have
been expected in regard the denomination Of Mr..
lincoln There could be no rnistaking The feelings
Of the great masses of the Union loving and Onion
maintaining people of this country. Their con
vietions are deep seated and strong, that Abraham
Lincoln is the man for the crisis There is most
significant Interpretation to be placed upon this re
markable preference for Mr. Lincoln at this time
It is this, that the people of this country have,
after full deliberaton, and more than three years
terrible experience of intestine war; made up their
minds to stand by the Government and fight out
the war to its legitimate issue They realize the
great fact that conspiracy of bad men has been
concocted to destroy the integrity of this country
and bring its liberties under heathenish bondage.
They understand the objects Of this war to be the
perpetuity of the Union and the preservation Of
our freedom as nation They know that if we
esade the issue forced upon us by our enemies,
and yield to the demands of traitors in arms, and
traitors not in arms that our peace and prosperi-
ty ami glory is departed forever. These senti-
nAents are deeply liked IN the hearts OF the people
of this country, and they offering all that they
have to uphold them Before the nominations
there were no decided indications of preference
for a. candidate for the Vice Presidency. Many
good and great men desired the denomination OF
Hannibal Hamlin, although that distinguished
gentleman himself was indifferent to it He had
no ambition to crafty that way, and hence his
friends, although disappointed, yielded an early
and hearty support to the gentleman selected as
his successor Thus with an unanimity almost
without parallel in the history of American poll
ties, the standard bearers of the Union party come
before the public. That they will be triumphant
B elected scarcely admits of doubt. The great
heart of the loyal people of the United States beats
in their favor and the glorious response given to
their nomination in every State in the Union is a
sure Indication of success

DEMoeRATIc INTERESTS.

A late Richmond Examiner has an article dis
cussing the Baltimore nominations The Erami-
neris notpleasedwith the e-nomination of Lincoln
Il. thinks the whole thing looks very much like
prosecuting the war with the same unrelenting
spirit that has been shown from the beginning
The Examiner manfests a warm sympathy for the
forlorn Democracy of the North. IN their hopeless
prospect ofregaining power. Hear the condolings
of the Examiner and note the suggestion it makes
to the Democrats in regard to their interests, .
@The Democrats Of the North who have waited four
years not patiently trusting regain the power and
profit which they but lately held to bs Democratic inner
tance naturally be provoked beyond endurance at
this audacious attempt of Lincoln and Seward TO ride
roughshod oFerthem four years
We learn that the Democrats universally turn
ing their thoughts Frankn Pierce and the Connecticut
Seymour their nominees for President and Vice Pres
dent To give them the least chance of eectng those two
advocates of peace, raut must be defeated the invasion
must collapse and die out and the very of war must
become word of horror uttered with loathng and exc
Grafton Therefore, is the interest Of the Democrats to
their very uttermest weaken the Federal army dis
credit Federal finance short, extnguish the al
together in order to guish the party which invented
the,war and governs 1t and lives by it,
Precisely so. Justwhat large part of the party

every day with all their might

TAKING POSITION.


The Joint resolution providing for the amend
ment Of the Constitution prohibiting slavery for
ever in the United States has failed to receive the
necessary two-third vote in the House of Repre-
sentatives. Every Democrat except four voted
against it. This is right and proper, for it will
place the more surely the Democratic party where
it belongs. namely, side by side with the rebels in
support of slavery They must accept all the con-
sequences of such position What falling off
in the once great and grand Democratic party
The Union men of the country have accepted in
advance the issue thus made. The National Con
vention at Baltimore resolved
Chat as Slavery was the cause and now constitutes the
strength of this rebellion, and it always and every
hostile TO thePrinciple Of republican government and just
ice the national safety demands its utter and complete
extrpation from the soil of the Republic and that while

which the Government its defense has aimed death
blow At the gigantic evil are in favor furthermore Of
Such amendnentio the Constitution to be made the
Pein conformity with its provisions shall terminate and
forever prohibit the existence of slavery within the limit

Is it difficult to predict which side free northern
votes will take in suce contest2 1t was an evil
day for the Copperheads when they determined to
make this last effort 10 save unllarmed the foul
system that is now smiteing our people 10 heavily
and has brought death in almost every home
The following is the amendment proposed
Neither slavery involuntary seryitude except for
the punishment OF crime OF Khek the party shall be daily
convicted, shall exist wiiha the United States any
place within their jurisdiction, and Congress shall
power by appropriate Legislation, to carry the foregoing

while the loyal men in that body were consid-

made speech, which so pleased his loyal auditors
that they at once nominated and elected him as
one of their representatives to the Chicago con-
