too late In the campaign for any independent

to etlace their record, and give up a peace plat

eulogy upon the life and course of President

"People may say what they will of the Pres.

represents to the people, north and south Of

and the real Democratic principle OF the coun.
try as Abraham Lincoln. He stands out from
all the men of his section and his time-and
not alone by reason Of his o1lce-as the repre-.
sentative Of the republcaulsm of the Republic,
the champion of Democratic principles, the
friend of the Union and the Constitution, aud
the foe of all class privilege and class DONNA.

political ambition. and Loose from the greed OF
power and the love of slavery, thinks we'll Of
Abraham Lincoln, and casts In his lot with
him. Thousands Of Democrats, converted tc

their conversion, become his friends. His

" Louisiana is free State forever. The con-

"The election on the ratification or rejection

earnUstness was displayed iu the early part OF
the day, and the friends of the respective cam

Call organized the Pennsylvania Reserve Corps,
a body OF men whose reputation gave honor

against the nominee Of the Chicago Conven,

1t is understood that Gen. Mcclellan has
been for long time an orangeman, and this
seems to be confirmed BY his choosing his resi-.
dence at the headquarters of the Orangemeu
in New Jersey. We hope this country wi
be spared the bitter feelings engendered by the
inauguration of the secret society style Of poll.
tics, but we fear we shall not, for the Demo
cratic party seems to be leaning that way, for
now we hear daily of "sons of Liberty"
"Knights of the Golden Circle" and of name
less (probably Orangemen) society organized
among the officers Of the Army of the Potomac.
These officers are nearly all Protestants and
consequently lean 70 that secret order.
