How Democrats Aid Treason,

The Chicago Times is the chief newspaper
OF the Democracy in the Northwestern
States. 1t speaks for, and is largely patron
lied by its party, so that it's expressions of
opinion and its aims and wishes may be fairly
deemed to be those of the Democratic party,
as it now exists in that part of the country
recent number contains an article in regard
to the Presidents Proclamation of Amnesty
on certain terms, which is 80 full of unmitiga-
ted treason. that we quote, for the purpose of
showing how utterly lost to all sentiments Of
patriotism Northern paper can become, az
well as to give proof of the falsity Of the state
ment often made by Democrats, that their
party does not sympathize or encourage the
rebellion. The Times says:
Perhaps the South will consent to those
terms. If she does, the ocgredation they offer
will not be half as severe as should BE- inhict.
ed upon people who could accept that deg.
radiation. If she does, she is not fit to be in
the Union upon terms of equality with other
States, or to exercise any political privilege
of any name or nature. If she does, her peo-
pie should BE- compelled to change situations
with their slaves, and governed only by the
overscers lash. No true American could pro-
the fact that they have been made is proof
that their author is either insane with fanat-
icism or traitor who glories in his country's
shame. If the Confederates are not dogs,
they will free, arm, and marshal their slaves
for conflict by offering still greater bribes than
are offered them by abolitionists, ere they will
think of submission to the Presidents terms
Can anything be more reasonable than
such words? They will be used of course to
hinder rebels from accepting the terms pro-
posed. They will be claimed, and not un-
reasonably. as tho statements of Northern
Democrats, who advise rebels in arms to make
their slaves fight against the Government, and
to resist to the last all efforts on the part of
the North to subdue and crush the rebellion.
They will to some extent encourage continued
bloodshed and warfare, and the hope that the
allies of secession in the loyal States may ac-
quire after time sufficient influence to stop
the war and TO recognize the independence of
the rebel States. Such is the real mission of
Democracy. openly avowed in the above ex.
tract and covertly intended by all its unprin-
ciplcd adherents. 1t is a shame, however,
that the Times or any other organ Of that
party should be permitted thus to furnish fuel
for the fires ofconspiracy and anarchy. What
better or more encouraging aid and comfort
could be given to the almost distracted jeff
Davis. than just such advice to his rebcllious
minions as this. which coming as it does from
Northern paper, representing the Democra-
cy, will have ten-fold more power and inAu-
ence than if it originated in their own jour-
nails Yet we are told that Democracy has
no sympathy with treason What lie -
Orcg0nian.

THE HAZARDS OF WAR.-A tabular state:
ment has been published from official records
in the Office Of the Adjutant General Of Mas:
sachusetts, Of the lDsses in the nine months
regiments in service from that State, during
their term. From these it appears, that ia
the fifteen regiments and one battery from
which the returns have been made, the loss
by the causalties of battle was less than four
fifths Of one per cent. that is, sevcnty-seven
to a regiment. or between seyen and eight to
company. The deaths by sickness amount
to four and three -tenths Of one pet cent; that
is, forty,three 10 a regiment or four and
fraction to company. Of these deaths, .
portion, say one quarter would have occurred
if the subjects had been at home and nearly
all of them were the result of cn,ses entirely
within the control Of the men themselves. .
These figures will strike most people with
surprise: Wa have heard SO often of regi;
ments "cut to pieces" Of whole companies
swept away by the terrible FIRE Of the enemy;
thar we have come to think Of many Of uaf
brave regiments al practically annihAatsds
We sec how mistaken we were, and We Ser;
too; that the hazards Of the service are, very
much less than We were accustomed to sup:
pose.

DEMOCRACY IN INDIANA.-A convention
was lately held in this State, so long
owned by Bright and his partners. and its
proceedings very fairly illustrate the true po-
sition of the Democratic party. SO far as We
under stand it..
There is nothing in the whole range of na-
t;onal affairs that they di6 not denounce. ex-
cent the rebels and the Democratic party.
The leaders who figured in the meeting, while
they talked about the Union and the Consti
tuition did not have word to say against the
rehcls who, in their efforts to destroy the
Union and overthrow the Constitution, arc
deluging tho country with the blood of our
citizens while for tho National Government
they had nothing but words indicating the
bitterrst hatred. No loyal man who reads
tho proceedings, will be at any less to deter
mine where the sympathies Of the leaders Of
the 30 called Democratic party are, neither
can any one fail to discover that the talk about
military despostism and the violation Of the
Constitution, are mere words intended to COW
er the deep sympathy which such men as
Voorhees, and Hendricks entertain for the
rebels who arc numbering our soldiers and
seeking to destroy the nation. To make this
fact as plain as tho sun at noon day, it is only
necessary to refer 10 the fruits Of the teach
ings of these local traitors. Their ignorant
or wick ed followers have for some time been
conspiring to break down the government.
In various instances they have organized and
armed, and thus resisted the authority Of the
Government, in arrcsting dcserters. At In
dianapolis this same spirit was manifested.
The excursionists who attended the conven-
tion on leaving in the cars. fired into the
Soldiers Home, and private residences.
While iu the city they were restrained by
fear; but as soon as they got under way be-
hind the locomotives they loosened their evil
passions, supposing that they could not beover-
taken. But the cars were stopped $500 re-
al arrests were made.

A SUDDEN CHANGE.-We notice that
some of our contemporaries, which not long ago
were avowing that they could not give their
support to this war, aud clamoring that it was
about time for it to stop, are now, since the re-
cent elections, asserting with all tho emphasis
due to newly discovered, important fact,
that the war must be vigorously prosecuted.
We are happy to remark the change. and can
not avoid noticing the similar spirit manifested
by the Ohio Democracy" according to Ger.

The INEVITABLE PENALTY OF CRIME
There is wholesome truth in the following
passage from Emerson, which all would do
we'll to lay at heart. 1t may help to ward of
temptation, when purer and better motives
grow weak in the contest. "There is" he
says, "no den in the world to hide rogue.
There is no such thing as concealment Com
nit a crime, and the earth is made of glass.
Commit crime, and it seems as if coat Of
snow fell on the ground, such as reveals in the
woods the track of every parridg" and fox
and squirrel and mole. You cannot recall the
spoken word, you cannot wipe out the foot
track, you cannot draw up the ladder, so as to
leave no outlet or clue. Always some damn
ing circumstance transpires. The laws and
substance of nature, water, snow, wind, grav-
ttation. become penalties to the thief"
