The rebels fired on Fort Sutherland
this the abolitionists offer as IN excuse why
they wage Il war of subjugation and ex-
termination, to do away with State rights
and to free the negroes. If the abolition
lists had never fired upon the Constitution
the rebels, we presume, would never have
fired on Sumter, The abolitionists have
been firing upon the Constitution of our
fathers for the past twenty years, and they
have got it well nigh battered down

a Novel "oId whign Principle.

In a recent speech at Norwich, Conn, Rob-
ert {. Winthrop said:
"Mr Lincoln has quite forgotten that one
term principle to which he and were com
mitted as members OF the old Wing party"
The old Wing party committed to the one
term principle! Mr. Winthrop must mean
that his old party was committed to the plin
ciple of preventing the Democrats from hold
ing the Government more than one term, or
TO the principle Of trying to secure 1t one
term for themselves. Perhaps it embraced
both. gsbsfgi
The Wing party was born about the year
1884, of the National Republican" party.
10 1s4O, for the first time they succeeded in
electing Harrison and Tyler. Harrison died
in one month after his Inauguration, so that
no second term was, very easy of success in
his case. In 1s4s the same party succeeded
in electing Taylor and Fillmore. Taylor died
when his term was one-third accomplished
and his mantle fell upon that middle aged old
lady Of Buffalo, who is now shrieking for Nc
ClelAn. OF course second term was as
much impossible In his case as in the former
one. Before success again crowned the eff
forts OF the "old Wing party it gave up the
ghost, and didn't leave friends enough to bury
1t. The great bulk of its old members proved
themselves men; the minority turned out to
be only "evil spirits" which entered into the
Democratic party, so that Its last end bids
fair to be worse than the first.

Our army swore terribly 10 Flanders" has
been quoted, time and again, but such tall
swearing as have repeatedly heard from the
soldiers in the Indiana and Illinois regiments,
would put to blush all the Flanders swearing
in creation. 1t is almost fearful to hear the
denunciations piled upon the Copperhead
Legislatures of thesetw States, for depriving
their soldiers in the field, the right of suffrage.

How hypocritical was that Resolve in the

made to represent circular race course, some

ne Raid at 81 Albans,


When Gen. Dix heard of this raid into
village in Vermont for the purpose of robbery,
he sent the following despatch to the COM
handing officer at Burlington d. sssEIg
Send all the efficient force you have to st.
Adams, and try to find the marauders who
came from Canada this morning. Put dis
Greet officer in command, and in case they are
found on our side of the line, pursue them in
to Canada If necessary, and destroy them.
The organization of bands Of rebel maraud-
ers in Cauada, for the purpose of committing
depredations on our property and shooting
our citizens, demands the serious attention of
our government. The. Canadian authorities
should be called upon to send these rebel rob-
bers out Of their country, but II that is not
done, We ought to have armed forces on the
frontier prepared to pounce upon these ma
rauders whenever they attempt to invade our
territory. ba a7 aai e 91e aoa -.1i4aH
We have a right to follow them into Cana
da if the pursuit is instant; and when the ras-
Gals are found, let Gen. Dix's order be carried
out and shoot them down on the spot. Cam
ada has no right to furnish an asylum for such
cut-throats and robbers. 1t is clear viola
ton Of the duties of neutrality. Yes, we say,
"destroy Them" Such an example of stern
retribution would have good effect, and tend
to break up these piratical expeditions. We

pennsuluania Ilaotion..

The record shows that In Pennsylvania the
Democrats have. never done so well at the
Presidential election as at the State election
Immediately preceding. The following facts
and 6gures tell the whole story: - Ok
In 1910, the Democrats had $500 at the
State election, but were beaten Ia November
by 343 majority. La 1874, the Democrats
elecied their governor by 1870 majority, and
IN November Polk had a clear majority of
Sl94. 10 1913, the majority against the Dem
ocrats in October was but 302, yet in Novem-
Der Gen. Taylor carried the State by 13547.
In 1852, the Democratic majority at the State
election Was 10 948; in November Pierce's
plurality was l9,446. and his majority 1892.
In 1856, the Democratic Canal Commissioner
was elected by 2775 majority, while ia Noyem-
per Buchanan had clear majority of only
1Oz5. In October, 1850, Curtin's majority for
governor was 80 ,l64, and Ia November Lin
coin had o9,6lS maj ,rity over everything.
It will be seen BY the above that without
the soldiers vote Pennsylvania viii give her
voice Tor Lincoln and johnson next Novem-
Der.
we predict that the Democrats will not
cast 80 large vote next November as thew
did at the recent election for members of Con-
gress, while the Republicans will throw a
much larger vote. Such is our prediction,
and we put it on record. And when the sol
oier's vote is added to the home vote In No
xemoer' Lipcoln's msjolity will be scorcher
ana caution to all Southern traitors and
Northern copperheads. 80 kA .@A
We venture to put DOWN Lincoln's MAORI

The Democrats in favor Of Slavery.

The d mocratic party, till recently, has re-
garded it as islander when charged with be-
ing In favor of slavery. They have always
been ready TO deny it. They have insisted that
slavery had certain guarantees which they
were bound in good faith to stand by, but
this, they asserted, was only proof Of the
good faith and devotion to the compact enter
ed into By the fathers, and not Of any sympa-
Thy for the institution of negro slavery itself.
And over and over again have they asserted,
that when the people of any State should, OF
their own accord, wipe the plague-spot of sla-
very from their State constitution, none would
more truly and sincerely rejoice than the
members Of the DemocIati party. aAAA
So much for theory and professions; now
for facts. Maryland has formed a free consti-
tuition. Every step taken was lawful, orderly,
and in harmony with constitutional prescrip-
ton. The people have voted upon it. When
its success was supposed to have been defeat
ed, leading Democrats openly exulted over II.
In a neighboring city, a leading Democrat--a
State Committee man reading the bulle-
tins upon the blackboard, and after reading
that Pennsylvania had gone Democratic, and
then that Maryland had rejected the free con-
stitution, he exclaimed, shat Is the best Of
itGuw Another leading Democrat, candidate
for Presidential EIector, reading the same dis
patches, said of Pennsylvania, shat is just
right" and then reading about the rejection
Of the free constitution in Maryland, added
gleefully," and that is right, too n 90 lsg
In the Argus yesterday the editor does not
conceal his satisfaction with the statement
that the constitution is rejected by the home
= - - LIZ h A.aia in narfact alee at the
suggestion that the Governor may refuse to
recognize the soldiers vote.
WHAT do such things prove, If not that the
Democrats are In favor of slavery per Sc p
They show that Democracy, as at present held
by the party leaders. is In sympathy with hui
man slavery; that 1t is opposed TO emancipa-
tlon even when brought about by the people
Immediately interested. They show that De-
mocracy is the ally Of slavery; that it the
antagonist Of freedom, and thatit will not al
low the people of State to throw off a cure
and build up around them institutions breatl
ing only the spirit of Liberty. The truth is,
the exclusion of slavery from State excludes
Democracy-as now held-with it, and Tor
this reason Democrats hang on to slavery as q
drowning man grasps at an anchor.

A Trnth and 4 cam.

In thelast Independent Henry Ward Beech
er utters the following, which will find ready
response 10 many heart:
sour Lord was obliged again and again to
caution those who sought him as one that
should bring them temporal rest, that they
misunderstood the nature and operation of
that dispensation which he came to establish
In His Kingdom they should have neither
temporal nor moral rest. He declared that
the Gospel should provoke opposition. There
should be d!scord IN every man who embrace
ed it. The old man and the new should be
forever In conflict. There should be variance
in the household, in business, aud in society.
He declared that its disciples must prepare
for strife when they came to Him, and that
no one was fitted to be His disciple until he
had reached willingness TO suffer, and TO suf-
fer unselfishly, nay, heroically, for The cause
OF invisible principles-tor truths. Or, as it
would be expressed by scoffers in our day, he
must be willing to suffer for isms. Fur men
believe in suffering for that which you can
measure, and weigh, and buy, and sell. The
things which address themselves to your
physical senses, aud work for your corporeal
good-for these men viii suffer: but for SEN
timent, which is the SOUPS coin and treasure
for truths, which are the vernacular of Heav-
en-; for eternal principles, which are the chan
nels through which Gods soul moves upon
this world-for these men are counted enthust-
Gstio if they are willing to bear, and to suffer,
and to contend."- 49,

An Emphatic Union Simmer.

Gen. Sheridan is stumping Virginia in op-
position to the Mcclellan interest with telling
effect. He breaks up Democratic meetings
without the slightest regard to formality.
Hisargumsnts have tremendous weight, and
there is a solidity to them equal to that of a
twelve pound solid shot. The Boston Court
er, an INSCRIPTIONS Mcclellan organ, refer
ing to his operations, says:
Intelligent readers will doubtless analyze
for themselves the series of ante-election vic.

ter the kid.glove Mcclellan pattern, we sup

him. But Sheridan's victories hurt-and it
is difficult to say whether the rebels South or
the rebels North feel them the worse.
