KING GEORGE AND KING ABRAHAM
To show how closely our government has
copied the act of tho British kins towards
our Revolutionary fathers, we quote the
charges they made against King George
as follows "He caused the stamp act to
be passed. He made the military above
civil power. He sent men into banishment
and exile without authority of law. He
excited the negroes 10 insurrection. Hc
discarded the constitution and laws of the
colonies Has not Abraha Lincoln done
all this, and even more and worse 7 No
truthful man will deny is."

Mi. Denison's Speech,

We publish to day, on our first page,
and to which we call special attention, the
able and independent Speech of Hon
CHARLES DENIsoN, of Luzcrnc, delivered
on the I'd of May, in the National Con-
gress. 1t is brief, bold and truthful--sucb
as an honest man and fearless Democrat
alone would make,-and reflects the high.
est credit upon its patriotic author, who
vas triumphantly elected to Congress over
Speaker Gro,c, is an honor to the Lu.
zerne District and a blessing to the Nation.
The unconquerablO Democracy of Luzerue
and Susquehanna, will Of course, re.nomi
nate and re-elect CHARLES DENrsoN TO the
Thirty Eighth Congress.

be deserters from tho srmy, were chained
together by iron claps around their wrists
In this condition they were marched thro
the public streets Of Easton, on their way
to the depot. This is carrying out the

European Interference.
The eleventh resolution of tho AboIitio,
Convention is as follows

The eleventh resolution of tho Abolition
Convention is as follows
Resolued, That we approve the position
taken by the Government that .he peoele
of the United States can never regard with
Indifference the attempt of any European
power to overthrow by force or to supplapt
by fraud the institutions of any republican
government on the Western Continent, and
that they will view with extreme jealousy,
as menacing to the peace and independ
enee of this our country, the efforts Of any
such power to obtain new footholds for
monarchial governments sustained by q
foreign military force in near proximity to
the United States.
Bravo Now what is "the position Ia
ken by the Government" that is thus ap.
provedi A few weeks ago the House pass
ed joint resolution declaring that this
country "can never regard with indiffer.
ence' foreign Intervention. The Senate
not only neglected to reafIirm and vitalixt
that resolution, but Mr.. Seward sent ar
obsoquious apology to France for the ac
ton of the House Under such eireum
stances, and while the thing condemned i
actually transpiring in the most open man
ner at our very door, what mookery it il
TO talk such twadde as this Louis Napo
leon has by force and fraud erected thron,
in Mexico, and sent a foreign prince to fl
it and "extreme jealousy is the only
barrier this Abolition Convention intends e
inierpOse.

WHAT Is DEMOCRAT IA Democrat
is one who believes in the sacred and in.
alienable right Of sovereign States to rule
themselves who holds to the doctrine that
governments derive their just powers from
the consent of the governed: who gloried
in the Union because its authority was
based only on the free consent of sovereign
and coequal sister States; and who hopes
for universal happiness throughout the
world, because be saw and folt she posi-
bility of government established by con-
sent, and resting not on force, but on tho
unconstrained affection Of the people.

THE outrages done TO American liberty
In the person of Vallandigham and othors
cost the Republican party split, and the
total and final loss of the Fremont wing,
or the radical Democracy, who do not be-
lieve in the slavery of white men by of.
flee holding tyrants. The remaining fac.
ton of the Republican party, the Office
holders and contractors, cling to Lincoln
still, the author and responsible cause Of
all these crimes and of the imbecile aud
corrupt mismanagement Of the war. The
cost of that political blundcr will be the
tisintegration of the Lincoln party, the
division of the honest from the dishonest,
and the election of good Democrat.

WAN DEPARTMENT,

WAR DEPAErMENT,
WASHINGTON CITY June 7th, 1884.
To the President,
SIR tt beg leave to submit to you q
report made to me by the Provost Mar
shal General, showing the result Of tho
draft now going on TO il the defcien cy
10 quotas Of certain States, and recommen-
dation repeal Of the clause in the En-
rollment Act commonly known as "tho
three hundred dollars clause" The REQ
ommendation Of tho Provost Marshall Gen.
eral is approved by this Department, and
/ trust that il will be recon mended by
you to Congress
The recent successes that have attended
our arms lead TO the hope that, by main
taing our military strength and giving it
such increase as the extended field Of op-
erations may require, an oerly termination
of the war may be attained, But to 90.
complish this it is absolutely necessary
that efficient means be taken with vigor
and promptness to keep the army up to its
strength, and supply deficiencies occasioned
by the losses il the field.
To that end resort must bo had to O
draft. But ample experience has now
shown that the pecuniary exemption from
service illustrates the object of the enroll
ment law by furnishing money instead Of
men.
An additional reason for repeating the
exemption clause Is that II is coutem D lated
to make the draft for comparatively q
short term. The burden Of military SER
vico will therefore be lightened. But its
certainty Of furnishing troops is an sbso
lutte essential to success.

, To Hon. EDWIN NJ STANTON, SEQ. Of War.
Su--In accordance with the amended.
enrolment act, approved February oath,
1864, and your orders on tho subject,
am now conducting draft 10 various sub
disticts for their respective deficiencies ou
quotas OF troops heretofore assigned. The
results Of this draft, so far as shown BY
the reports to this date, are worthy Of at.
tention. They briefly aro as follows:
Number Of drafted men examined H,7aI
Number exempted for phyeca disability. a. 37l
Number exempted for ohor CAUSES, aG32
Total number exempted. 7OIG
Number paid commutaton money, b05O
Number who have furnished substitutes. Lar,
Number hold for service lo5o
This last includes somo who NAV vet
pay Communication money.
Total not exempted, 1925
These reports come from sub.dhrict. in
| eight different States.
invite your attention to the small FRO
portion of soldiers being obtained under the
existing law. l see no reason to believe
that the army can be materially strengthen
ed by the draft so long as the $500 clause
is in force : nor do l think it safe to as.
sumo that the communication paid by draf-
ted man will enable the governments tc
procrre volunteer or substitute in his
place.
do not think that large bounties by the
United States should be again resorted &c
for raising troops.
