The Democratic Party.

There never was, in the history of gov
ernments nor probably never will be, any
human institution equal to the Democratic
party that administered the affairs of the
United States. Its action was based on
n Constitution and creed formed for it,
by men of the most strict integrity and
most profound wisdom. 1t had admins
tered the Government for eighty years
with slight exceptions, (and these cxcep-
tions were universal failures,) in such Il
manner, that it was thought by the civil
lied world, that mankind had raised con-
siderably in the scale Of social existence.
The Constitution was the organic law of
the country, and this party continued it
strictly and lived up to it faithfully. All
its teachings and its regulations were sub
missively obeyed and cheerfully adhered
TO by this constitutional party. Its doc
trine was justice between man and man,
between nation and nation, between state
and state. 1t was giving to every man
his due. 1t was doing TO others as it
would have others do to them 1t advo-
Gated the banishment Of falsehood, lies,
fraud and violence from the affairs of men,
a fundamental doctrine of him who spoke
as never man spoke.
1t had no jealousy of the stranger. who
forsakes the graves and the hearths Of his
fathers, the land of his birth, the scenes
and associations of childhood, the at
fractions of home and the friends of his
youth, and sunders the dearest ties of
kindred to enjoy the liberty of this free
land. That party had no fear that the
stability of American Institutions would
he effected by the emigration of foreign
ers. 1t therefore could not sanction the
Native American party. 1t kept its hands |
clean and its heart pure from the contami-
nation of the Know Nothing party; be-
cause II eschewed bigotry, that hell-born |
principle, that has no head and cannot |
think, no heart and cannot feel, when it |
moves 1t is in wrath, when it pauses it is |
amidst ruin. Its prayers are curses, its
communion is death, its vengeance is
eternity. Its dccaloguc is written in the
blood of its victims. If it stoops for a
moment from its Internal flight it is on
some kindred rock TO whit lis FAM for
keener rapiDe, and replume its wing for
more sangulnary desperation"
Democracy teaches to respect the per-
'on and not the property of man, and
'ests Its support on public opinion; it is

Propositions OfPeaCe,

The following correspondence appeared
first in the Republican Journals of this
State, taken from the telegraphic despatch
es to New York. 1t purports to contain
a proposition from commissioner of the
Southern COnfederacy, and would, in our
mind, be as fair as the North ought to
ask. 1t will be seen from Lincoln's des-
patch, that the sole object of this war is
for the negro, and for nothing else, except
hls own aggrandizement and continuance
| III power He will not treat with them
without they ibcrate the negroes The
Democratic party knew this all the time.
but 1t was strenuously denied by the Black
Republicans; they never wanted to in
terfere with the domestic institutions of
the South, but if the abolition of slavery
would be an incident of the war, they
could not help it. All they wanted was
restoration of the Union, They care
about the Union as much as an Israelite
cares about Pork. They never did care
about it, and would not now, if it were
not seasoned with the negro. What
cares Abraham about the woe of the
widow or the orphans bereavement
what cares he about the groans of the dy-
ing, or the appalling picture of the living
manned? If man, in this negro war.
has been deprived of arms, legs or part of
his face, Abraham could console himself
by getting Picayuqe Butter sung to raise
his spirits, lest he could get time to reflect
on the evils he has brought on the country.
A Roman emperor once got his horse
made consul, and fed him in golden
manger on gilded oats, and the American
people, who held the reins of Government
and was the government themselves,
elected, not horse nor jackass, nor
baboon, but Abraham Lincoln, to preside
over their destinies for four years. And
this creature, who is neither horse, lack
ass or baboon, but man of infinite Jest,
an undistinguished lawyer in Springfield,
Illinois, who never was fit to try case
beyond assault and battery, or dogs and
sheep, is placed at the head of the govern
ment OF the American people He has
admirably sustained himself in imbecility.

The Draft.

1t was very humiliating spectacle to
observe the workings of this draft here
last week. The people don't seem to be
over anxious to get Abraham's harness on.
Any one who had the good fortune to be
toothless or blind of the right eye looked
on it as a providential blessing Many were
excused for infirmities, that did not seem
visable, while others that seemed very
unfit for hard service were elected. In
deed we have ourselves seen Il man who
had been excused, very anxious for a
home fight not long afterwards, and de-
claring she could whip any man in Eb-
ensburg." He was a stout athletic man
and a very loyal one, but he did not seem
to have a taste for whipping the accursed
rebels. The loyal men did not exhibit
more desire for the army than the copper
heads, who are said to be sympathisers
with this hell-born rebellion. This board
is succeeding very poorly in getting men.
If Grant fights on in the same line till he
takes Richmond, by being reinforced with
recruits sent him by this means, we fear he
may fight till Gabriel blows his trumpet
But this board is doing as well as they
can, and are attending to this business
well, through loyalty and patriotism, for
we conclude they are loosing money by
1t. We suppose they are looking out
anXiou5ly for peace, rs much so, as our
farmers are looking out for the refreshing
showers for their standing crnns

TIE GUERRILLA WAR,

St. Joseph's, July 2I.-The guerrillas
turned back from Livingston last night
and occupied Caldwell county. After
being joined by another band from the
west, the combined force, numbering some
five hundred men, marched ON Pittsburg.
IN Clinton county, where the surrender of
the garrison, consisting of two companies
of militia, was demanded in the name of
the Contederates States Army.
Captain Turner, commanding the party
refused to surrender, and told his men to
escape. A fight ensued, in which Turner
was killed. Most of his men have ar
riv ed here
General Fisk's appeal is being prompt
ly responded to, and the men are being
sent to the field at once. One thousand
men, under Gen Ben Loan, will soon be
here from Andrew county.

Fort Leavenworth, Kansas, July %.
"A despatch received this morning from
Col. Ford, at Liberty, Missouri, says the
people in the country north and east of
that plrce, are joining Thornton's band,
which is increasing rapidly. Col Ford
has his troops well in hand, but his force
is too small to effect much, and reinforce
ments are asked for. Arms have been
sent from here to St. Joseph's and Kan
sas city, for arming the loyal men called
out by Gen. Fisk.
A later despatch from Col. Ford states
that Thornton, with 1000 men, is move
ing north, probably with the intention of
striking the railroad. Plattsburg and
Marion were in their possession last night.
Col. Ford left Liberty at 4 p. m. to-day,
in pursuit.
General Childs has several armed boats
patrolling the Missouri river, to prevent
the rebels from crossing. Picker and
Banks are reported to have 10000 men
in northwest Missouri, and to be threat
ming Fort Scott and our Southern COM
munication. 1t is believed that 5 ZOO of
Prices men are now in Missouri. These
joined by ThorntOn's guerrillas and the
Paw-Paws, will make formidable force.
Our State militia will be called out, and
troops are being concentrated for cooper
alton. Gen. Blunt is here awaiting or
