Honest and Just.

Samuel Medary, editor Of the Crisis, has,
in his old age, one superior trait as Dem
ocratic Editor-asa Watchman on the But
ternH towers. He isn't afraid. He has a
mind. and he speaks it. He eoinprehends
the Democratic situation, and he does not
hesitate to describe 1t in inequiyocal terms.
In his paper. published on the 9th OF Feb
ruary 1854, MIR. Medary, in an article on
the Presidential Election" says:
'''The mass of the Democratic voters are
opposed to being placed ona war platform,
who is the best General, or on what princi-
pies the war is in future to be conducted
They believe that the Union cannot be re-
stored by tCdr-they never did as a party
believe it-they opposed a resort to arms
from the first, and they are more cOHviDced
to day of the calamitous blunder, than be-
fore the first regiment was raised. They
resolve to day to stand on that ground, and
will not willingly gbe driven from it. From
the first the strength OF the Democratic par
ty has been opposed to the war, a. they
were convinced that it was ruin, now and
hereafter. S'H Att.~
This is plain and direct, if not elegant lam
guave 1t is, moreover, true to history
In the last canvass, declarations similar p
these, from Union platforms, were indig-
nautly resented by some Democrats Lot
all such take heed of what is written by a
leader who knows whereof he doth affirm,

Speech from Yice-President
IEamlin

At the organization Of a politial club in
PhiIadelphia, last Friday, Vice-President
Hamin said: ... s.-
There is class of men in every communi-
ty who tell us we must have "the Consti-
tuition as it is aud the Union as it was"
That idea carries with it the idea that we
must receive back the men whose hands
are 'reeking with the blood of our fathers
and sons-that we must restore the status OF
slavery where it has been broken and urturn-
ed. The man who argues thus would roll
back the tide of freedom flowing over
ransomed territory, and bring back to power
traitors who have sought to destroy us. -
Man is everywhere to stand erect in the
dignity of freedom. The tide of emancipa
ton is not to be rolled back, but to he rolled
on. We are not to close this war until the
cause of it is removed Long applause. We
are to stand upon higher civilization even
than that given to us by our fathers. We
are going to plant this government upon q
basis of freedom that shall render it stable
for all coming time. The progress toward
that result is fast and rapid. No man car
tell the precise time when this rebellion il
to be broken, but the signs of the times
already show MS the beginning of the end. L
is now narrowing. Its limits are circumscrib
ed. The hope Of a division in the NORTH
has been one of the great and paramount
causes that have buoyed them up. The
North is united. from the pine. forests o.
Maine to the old Keystone State, for rconsti
tutional liberty over the Union.
The rebels see it and feel its effect. An
other hope that stimulates them was, tina
the resources of the North would not b.
contributed TO the Government They wer,
again mistaken They have failed in every
thing When they see this fully, the rebel
lion must and will come to m end.
