Another Old Democrat Bolts.

Another old and well known Democrat re-
fuses TO act with the cessationists. The name
of SIDNEY L. RooD of Milwaukee, was pub
lished as one of the Vice Presidents of the
recent MCCLELLAN mass meeting there, in the
Neacs' account of the demonstration. Where
upon Mr. Room writes the following letter:
Ed NEWS 1t appears from the published
proceedings of the so called democratic gath
erng of last Saturday evening, that / was
announced as one of the Vice Presidents. As
/ had no previous warning that such prefer
ment was in store for me, l had no opportu-
ity to decline. 1t is now in my power to re-
gulidte it.
If democracy means what it used to-de-
votion to the whole country, and an inhexi-
BILE purpose to crush out all resistance to the
laws and uphold the national unity and hon
or, by force and blood, if necessary, am q
democrat; but if such be the character of de-
mocracy,-what party do they belong to, who
surrounded 10y rebels in arms, sue for peace,
an armistice, or a convention to secure to
rebels what they have been unable to con-
quer by force. When the rebels sue for peace
il will be time for the Government to consid-
er it; but during the continuance of the re-
bellion by force, or actual war, for the Gov
eminent to entreat them to let us alone,
would be degree of abasement and coward
ice, that would disgrace us forever; and for
that reason, | cannot believe such policy to
be democratic. At all events, do not wish
to be the Vice President, or President, of
any Convention, called to sympathize or CO.
operate with treason.

ONE OF LANES BEsT.-Lamb once convuls-
ed a company with an anecdote of Coleridge,
which, without doubt, he Matched in his hoax
loving brain. :" was" he said, "going from
my house at Enfield to the East India House
one morning, when met. Coleridge on his
way to pay me visit. He was brimful of
some new idea, and in spite of my assuring
him that time was precious, he drew me with
in the gate of an unoccupied garden by tfe
roadside, and there, sheltered from observa-
ton by hedge of esergreens, he took me
by the button of my coat, and closing his
eyes commenced an eloquent discourse, wav-
ing his right hand gently as the musical words
flowed in an unbroken stream from his lips
/ listened entraneed; but the striking clock
recalled me to a sense of duty. / saw it was
of no use to attempt to break away; so, tax
ing advantage Of his absorption in his subject,
and, with my penknife, quietly seyering the
button of my coat, decamped. Five hours
afterwards, in passing the same garden, on
my way home, heard Coleridge's voice, and
on looking in, there he was with closed eyes,
the button in his fingers, and the right hand
gracefully waving, just as when left him.
He had never missed me-"

HoT-MTTTON-PE DEMOcRAcY.-GeOrge
Sennott, of Boston, illustrated a speech at
Roxbury, Massachusetts,, day or two ago, by
this little parable:
Gone freezing February morning a negro
hawked mutton pies in basket round Fan
neuil Hall Square, roaring out, Hot mutton
pies Hot mutton pies!' A teamster bought
and tried to bite one, but found it frozen as
solid as the curb-stone. what do you call
them hot for you black and blue swindler,'
yelled the teamster to the shivering pieman.
'Wy-wy-a white man guy 'em to me hot
this morning-dey was hot wen got 'em dis
morning. We'll, you fool, it didn't take ten
minutes TO freeze them in that old basket.
Why call them hot now?' ivy, God Dress
you, dat's de name OBJ dem-de name OBJ dem
If l didn't hOlier de right name nobody
wouldn't fetch 'em !. You want me to holler
froze pies, 'spose No, sa! You can't fool
me dat wayi'
"Thus it is with the Democratic party.
They received from Jefferson and jackson, as
free gift, their principles. Those gifts they
meanly put up for sale and hawk round in
their deadly market of slavery, to freeze up
in their shabby old party basket. They roar
out, Democratic principles Democratic
principles for sale being understood. And
when you pay the price of your vote for them,
you find slavery benumbing your fingers, par
alyzing your tongue, contracting your heart,
and turning your stomach. Ask the swindlers
why they call such stuff Democracy, and
they tell you blandIy that Mr.. Jefferson gave
them the original article; that they have
kept it ever since; that it is just as
good as new, only not quite so warm,
perhaps; and that you really mustn't quarrel
with the pieman, for what he calls it is its
name. If you want it more Democratic, you
may take it home to your own State and wdIna
it; but, in the mean time, do not interrupt
the salesl ~ = - EEs

Artillery Duel on the James.
The Tiribuae's correspondent with the army
of the James, writing on the 22d, says:

The IIibuses correspondent with the army
of the James, writing on the 22d, says:
At dawn this morning one of our land bat.
teries in charge of Capt Ashby, company L,
Sd n. Y. artillery, opened on the rebel feet
in James river, about a mile above Coa's land
ing, with 20 and 30-pound shells, and quickly
sent their wooden gunboats to the protecting
wings of Fort Darling and their other shore
batteries. The three ironclad rams, howev-
err, stood fire and returned the compliment
for an hour or more, until one of the smoke
stacks was nearly shot away and one of our
shells having exploded in the afterpart of the
Richmond. killing a gunner and wounding
three seamen, when, having had a vigor-
Gus pounding from our shells, they one
by one steamed out of range to place of
security, leaving an earthwork, which the re-
bells have lately constructed on the west side
of the James, 10 continue the duel with Capt
Ashby's battery and another of our forts low
err down the river. This rebel work sent
100 Founders in return of Capt. Ashby's 20
and 80 pound shells, but received those Of
like calibre from our lower battery, and final
ly discontinued the duel.
The result of the mornings work was to
drive the whole rebel fleet upwards of a
mile from the point in the river where they
had recently been stationed. One wooden
gunboat was seriously and one iron clad am
considerably injured. Our casualties are
summed up in the loss of leg by Michael
Lynch, orderly to Captain Ashby, from a
fragment of shell, which at the same time
killed horse on which he was mounted.
Till this evening there has been no firing at
Dutch Gap since yesterday noon.

What Douglas Said.

ITO be compared with the Chicago Platform.
"The slave question is a mere excuse The
election of Lincoln a mere pretext. The
present secession movement is the result of
an enormous conspiracy, formed more than a
year since--formed by leaders in the south
ern confederacy more than twelve months
ago. The conspiracy is known; armies have
been raised, war is levied to accomplish it.
There are only two sides to the question.
Every man must be for the United States or
against it. There can be no neutraIs in this
war only patriots and traitors"

SYMPATHY FROM SwEDEN.--I canne out be-
lieve, with you, that this war is providential,
and, after its worst is done, its woes are past,
will serve as baptism for new and high
er life. A baptism of blood, it is true, and
terrible it is; but the grace of God will turn
the very wounds, to eyes which see His will,
to fountains of sympathy and charity. God
bless America Ny heart is there now more
than ever; and were younger / would be
there soul and body, and mix among those
who take care of the sick and wounded. But
am old, and shall hardly ever more cross the
Atlantic except with my warm wishes
