EDITOR "SrAR OF THE NoRTH,"-Dedr Sir:
Il must congratulate you upon the position
you have ASST med in your las: issue in
reference 10 the quartering of soldiers in
our hitherto peaceful community. Your
editorials have the true ring, and receive
the unanimous endorsement of the %invinci
bic Democracy in our quiet though enter
prising Borough. You have struck the
chord which vibrates in every true patriots
heart, that resistance 10 tyrants is obedi-
ence 10 God" The Democracy were sorely
disappointed at the tame and spiritle6s
manner. in which the Democrat appeared TO
view this most outrageous attempt 10 incite
domestic strife and instruction in our midst.
They expected-and rightly, too-lha: it
should have given some attention to this
latest outrage against the fair fame and good
name OF the patriotic Democracy of Colum.
bla county. They felt that the stigma which
the black hearted abolitionists OF your town
have attempted 10 fasten upon her hitherto
proud escutcheon, should be thrown off aud
the fraud exposed in all its naked deformiiy,
and you may well imagine their chagrin 10
lind their cid organ give il the complete 60
by. This thing has zone far enough. Let
the people in the coming County Conven-
ton demand that these troops be removed
from our midst. Twas an act similar 10
this which caused our foreialhers 10 rebel
against King George, and we advise King
Lincoln 10 lake warning in time. How dis
tinclly do we recall the following indict-
ments found iD the Declaration of I~ndepen-
dence:
"For quarterins large bodies of armed
troops among us.n
"He has melted domestic insurrections
amongst u.s." &c &c.
What is Lincoln doing but this. Step by
step, are our liberties wrested from us, and
we seem TO become as it were passive
spectators ie the startling fact. To preserve
these to ourselves and posterity. We are I'M
der the greatest obligations. re, as is in
timated by the aholilionists all around US,
this despotism is 10 be continued, then is
the contest but just begun. If we are to
have no right to our thoughts, our hopes
and our political faith, then must the bait
tie rage until our manhood, and liberties
have been fully vindicsied. This talk OF
"crushing out the Copperheads'' of CO.
lumbia county, is nere silly gasconade,
and comes from men who should have bet
ter sense. While we can afford 10 let them
wriihe and squirm in their slime and filth
II is well enough to warn them that 'il is
a game two can play al" Hoping that
you may ever stand prepared TO viEdicaie

TOWN MEETING.
SAssYcUs,

In pursuance Of public notice, a meeting
OF The taxable inhabitants Of the Borough Of
New Columbus was held a. the School
House, In said Borough, on "Wednesday
Evening, August 9Th, 1864, for the pur-
pose OF ln;erchanging sentiments in relation
TO The taxes about TO be heaped upon them
by persons purporting TO be municipal Off
GERS OF said Borough:
Whereupon FLETCHER BOWMAN was
chosen President. A. ]. Brown and John
YaPle, Secretaries. George T. Miller, Geo.
Laurish, and Peter Emory, Vice Presidents.
The meeting being duly organized, OIL
motion, a Committee OF three were appoin-
TED 10 draft resolutions expressive Of the
sense OF :he meeting. The following nam
ed persons were appointed said Committee,
10 wIt:-John Rooms, Emry Ink, and G w.
Bowman.
The Committee after retiring a short time
presented the following preamble and res
olutions, which were adopted, without a
deceniing voice.
Whereas, our Boro. Council has seen
proper 10 burthen the taxable inhabitants
OF The Borough of New Columbus with an
additional Military tax against the wishes
OF a very large majority of the said laxables,
therefore be it
ResotUed, That we do not recognize the
Burgess and Town Council as our Masters
or Guardianship assess or TO lay the foun-
dalton for a tax every few months, almost
equal 10 a yearly rent Of our property.
RESOLVED, That when We deem such taxa
ton n ecessarv for The welfare and happiness
OF our committee, we will petition 10 such
authorities as may he legally authorized
tor that purpose to have it done.
ResotUed. Tha; We consider i, a base as
sumption OF power for any set of men 10
put their hands in the pockets of their
neighbors, when they are evidently actuat-
ed by self-inlerest, and then only by a bare
majority.
ResOtUed, That we protest against any tax
involuntary forced upon US for paying local
bonnties or buying the flesh, the bones and
sinews of our fellow men to save some fe "
individuals from doing their duty 10 their
country.
ResOlUed, That We will use all fair and le-
gal means 10 resist the collection of such
taxes, if such should be levied, because we
consider such a course unconstitutional,
and know il will be unjust.
ResoiUed, That we repudiate The proceed
ings OF The Boro. Council al a meeting held
in the School house on Monday, August
lst, 1854, especially that part of the pro-
ceedings which relate 10 the issuing bonds
which were 10 be paid by the taxable in
habitants OF said Borough.
ResolUed, That a Committee of three be
chosen by the President to take legal ad-
vice and to attend TO The interests of this
Borough in that respect, and report al the
next NEE ling.
ResolUed, That the proceedings of this
meeting be published in at least one of our
county newspapers.

IL THE war is a jus, one-for the restora-

lists claim it is, why do they busy them
selves so much about the drafta Why do
they moi go into the army and fill up the

the war, prepared for it, with their "Wide-
Awakes," and now are doing all in their
power TO have some one else fight il out,
in order that they may save their own ac-
cursed necks. They prated Justify for a
