Organize, Democrats !

Democrats there never was q time
when there was greater necessity for or.
ganization and unity Of action. We are
soon to enter upon canvass, the results Of
which will be of vast Importance to the
nation. In view Of the calamitous condi.
ton Of the country, il is oil important that
the present party in power should bo de-
feated. There is much 10 encourage tho
Democracy and ihspife them to action
The very bitterness Of the opposition, the
abuse of their authority by prosecuting
Democrats, demands that no effort should
be spared to eradicate them from Office
As we value our liberties and the welware
of our families, we should do our whole
duty in the coming canvass. If we sue
coed, as we certainly will if we do our du.
ty, our reward will be ample. If we fail
we will have nothing with which to re-
proach ourselves. 1t is a time when every
freeman should guard we'll his liberty at
the ballot box They are organizing se-
cretly, and are pledged to support the Ad-
ministrasion in every act. We have al.
ready experienced the acts Of usurpation
done in the name of the Union, which have
all been sustained by that party. We may
rest assured that, if it can be done with
impunity, they will be increased a thou.

they value their liberty, as they prize the
comforts of their homes and fresides, in
the name of all that is dear to them, to
arouse themselves and prepare to defend

Lincoln, Stanton and Fry, as was

the bill. In the House it was defeated by

and wishes 1t to be heralded East and

each other, and conspired together to de-.

country to rally at the next election and

ARREST OF THE N. Y. NAVY ACT.
CHARGES OF GREAT FRAUD AND COR
RUPrIos.
United States Circuit Cowt-June 22-
Before Commissioner Bets
Mr.. Isaac Henderson, publisher ofthe
RUening Post, Navy Agent M this port,
was arrested to-day by Marshal Murry
and assistants, on warrant issued by
Commissioner Belts, on the spp!ication of
Mr.. Wilson, Special Counsel of the Navy
Department. The charges are very SO.
rious, embracing fraud, bribery the trans
mission of false vouchers, 60. We did not
learn the amount which the Government.
charges Mr.. Henderson with having lle-
gally received, but il is said to be large.
This arrest will take the public by sur.
prise, for the accused has heretofore borne
an irreproaohabl character, and has been
considered man Of large means for sever.
al years.
The Marshal called at the Navy Agents
in the Euening Post building, at about 8
o'clock, and found Mr.. henderson at his
desk in his private Office. He served his
warrant, and took the prisoner 10 the Dis
trict Attorney. Counsel appeared, and,
waving the right Of preliminary exam.
tnatiou, bail was given by E. g. e. y Stu.
art, attorneys, and Joseph Stuart & Co.,
bankers, in the sum of $4,000. The
hearing on the warrant is set down for this
morning at III o'clock.
A few minutes before the arrest was
made, Mr.. Bridge, of the Navy Depart
ment called upon Mr.. Henderson, with an
order from the President, removing him
from office and directing Mr.. Bridge to
take charge
In addition to the above, 1t occurs to us
that COL. Fish, late Provost Marshal of
was convicted of crimes which
should have sent him to Penitentiary for
half the term of his natural life, and for
which som light sentence was inflicted
upon him-we believe fine of FIVE thou..
and dollars and short imprisonment.-
This is the only instance we call to mind
and this is not available in behalf OF the
Administration, since, shortly after his
sentence, the President granted him full
pardon.

the great hopes of that Future which these sug-
gests, that armies now are being marshalled, and
campaigns now are being planned, and that
multitudes of those who fight for us are hereaf-

Is it possible to think of this as we ought and
not be stirred to our utmost endeavors, at least
sense of the incalculable debt we owe them? Do
not all exertions, all our gifts, poor and
mean, become the smallest dust of the bal
ance, the merest trifes of momentary impulse,
when we measure them rightly, against what we
have at stake in this contest whose deadly perils
they meet and front in our behalf? If they do
not, we ought to be coined ourselves, for we are
hard enough to bear it or be bored into cannon,
or split and fashioned into carriage and cassons,
Some one after describing wildly series of
most cruel and infamous outrages perpetrated on

there was for her no redress, broke into the sud-
den and just exclamation: 1t doesn't take a
Christian to hate slavery; decently tanned wild
beast could do thatp' So we may say: " 1t
