Correspondence of tie Pittsburgh pcst,I
Loyal League Traitor.

I see by the New York papers of yester-
day that ''loyalist'' of the latest and
most approved pattern has;permitted his
over Jealous patriotism to get him into
Fort Lafayette. The name of the unfor
tunate Patriot is A. NJ. Palmer, and he
is said to be the relative as we'll as the
Private Secretary OF the Collector of the
Port Of New York, Mr.. Hiram Barney.
He is also said to be Secretary of the
Union Committee" and it appears he
was in the habit of attending Republi-
can meetings, as a speech maker, in which
capacity it was his custom to dcnounce
severely those disloyal scamps "the cop
perheads. He was heavy on all who
give aid and comfort to the rebels by
voting the Democratic ticket. But he
had an eye to business as well as patriot
ism, and seeing a chance to make money
by assisting to get goods intended for the
rebels through the New York Custom
House, he went in strong for putting
down the rebellion by shipping goods to
the rebels in Nassau. The thing worked
splendidly for long time, and money
rolled into the pockets of Palmer as fast
as ever it did into a shoddy contractors S.
AS his pocket expanded, his loyalty and
patriotism were strengthened and stimu-
lated, and he would cheerfully have con-
tributed to the purchase of a rope to hang
such traitors as Governor Seymour But
the mask fell off at last. and another was
added to the long list of Lincoln's abo-
litionists who have preached patriotism
and practised treason, And now Palmer
the Union Lacquer and Government off
cial, has gone to morttfy his flesh and af-
fict his spirit in that grand receptacle Of
traitors in Fort Lafayette. A poor pri-
uate in the army is shot for deserting and
going home to see his wife and children
or his father and mother. Should any
better fate be reserved for this sLoyal
League scoundIel, who, while drawing a
salary from the Government of the U. S.
was engaged in furnishing supplies to
the enemy? It's altogether likely that
Palmer's distinguished "loyalty' will ycl
bring him out of this scrape unharmed
but if it does, some onehigher in author
ity ought to be hung in his stead.

The Time for Halting Be
twecn Two Opinions has
Passed.

at is much to be regretted that the
President should have been so far led
from the high constitutional position that
he took at the commencement of the strug-
gle, and that he should have been induc-
ed to break the pledges he then SO solemn
y made that the war should be waged sole
ly for the preservation of the Government
aud the enforcement Of the laws of the
land.-Bosfon Post
Says the Louisville Journal to this:
"Every trnc and enlightened lover of
the country shares in the regret expressed
by the Post, but regret alone is unaval-
ing. WHAT SHALL BE DOME
The answer is plain. Since President
Lincoln has been thus terribly mislead
into the quagmire of radicalism, and has
resolved in his blindness and infatuation
not to bring back the administration to
the solid ground of the Constitution from
which ho departed, the people must elect IN
his place President pho ,oiH. This is
the thing to be done, and it behooves ev-
cry patriot at once to put his shoulder
to the wheel at the part best suited to the
present stage of the work.
THE CONSERVATIVE WHO is

DEGREE TO SWELL THE DARK
TIDE OF PASSION AND OF FA-
! tNATICISM ON WHICH THE RADI-

good faith to act with the conservatives in
this great civil contest should uneq~ivocnl-
~ manifest his conservatism FORTH.

to hold the National Convention at Chicu-

Organize !!


What the Democracy need, and needed
in the last campaign, is not enthusiasm,
for they have abundance of that; nor de.
termination, for they are resolved to vim
dicate their cause by success; nor forti-
tude, for they have borne, for the sake
of law and ordor, insult and outrage
enough to stira fever in the blood of age"
What they need is ORGANIZATION.
The State at large, every county, every
township, every school district, ought to
be promptly and efficiently organized,
for the Spring election, and for the greater
election to follow. Opposed to the De-
mocracy is a league, sworn and secret,
dangerous and devilish, working by bribes
and threats, by burnings, by mobs, by
spies and eayes-droppers, and backed by
power which imprisons and in sconfor-
nifty solely with the inspiration of dos
pctic will. To meet and battle this engi-
merry, let us unite in Democratic clubs,
enroll our voters, circulate documents,
charge home upon the party in power, its
cruel expressions, its perjured violation
of law; its prodigal waste of public mon
ey, and all crimes Of which a full cata-
logue would fill very large, volume,
which it has committed since its direful
and fatal concession to power. At the
ballot box, through the means and in the
modes appointed by the law, the people
people will some day sweep, away the
present abominable rule, with the ferse
and fury Of tornado.-Dayton Empire.

RESOLUTIONS Pa';scd by the

vatEve Members OF Cong


WASHINGTON. Jan I0.-The Democrt-
ic and Con >ervative members of Congress
net on Saturday evening IN the Capitol
with the Hon .Ino H. Dawson of Penn
sylvania in the chair. anl- unanimously
adopted the following important resolu-
ton offered by the Hon. James Brooks
OF New York:
WHEREAS, Gold or silver is paid TO our
Ministers. Consuls and Commissioners re-
presenting the nation IN foreign countries
and gold AMI silver are rccciye,l fro II tha

stand by the Democratic
Press.

We appropriate or the benefit of our
noadors the following very sensible re-
marks from an exchange, and commend
them to the careful persual Of every in
telligent Democrat:
A..solcmn duty, but one impcrfectly dis
cha aged. devolves ON Democrats, stand by
their. papers. In the general wreck OF
personal and political rights, about all the
liberty citizen retains is the privilege
OF reading Democratic papers aud pay
ing Abolition taxes. How long he will
enjoy the 6rst is uncertain. His lease Of
the last will never be disturbed, But
while he retains the privilege oil reading
the paper et has choice, he owes it to him :
self, to the publisher, his party, and his
country to give such papers living sup
port.
Without Government or State, and, in
many instances, county patronage; pro-
scribed by an intolelant party; confronted
BY secret organization, whose only pur-
pose is to pull down the Democratic party;
and hunted by the paid minions of power,
Democratic publishers have nothing to
fely upon but their own energy and the
flelity aud hberality of their political
friends
Without newspapers, the Democracy
would bo without an organization and at
tho mercy OF their enemies. With naws-
papers, they can preserve their orguniza-
tion ard regain both their political as
csndency and their lii tics.
II is fact which can not be success
fully controvcrted, that Republicans give
