A Card.
To the Voters of Lancaster District.

Having learned that certain reports are be.
ing circulated in some portions Of the District,
doubtless with the design of injurng me in the
approaching election, l desire to correct them
through this medium.
l am charged with having oppossd in the
Legislature, the sending of negro laborers to
the Coast, and With carrying out my principles
by refusing to send my own hands. Also that
introduced the Bill for making the boys be.
tween sixteen and seventeen. liable to do militia
duty There is no truth whatever in any of
these charges They haye no foundation in
fact. have never opposed the send,ug of
slaves to the Coast, and nave always sent ray
own hands when called upon to do so. And
there IS no c;tizenswho would more earnestly
dsPrecate the necessity ofmaking boys ofsiI-
teen do militia duty thaa mysslf

dation OF our strength, security and happ
u IS as people. and as framework Of Gov.
ernment equally conducive TO the welfare auc
prosperity OF all the States, both northern and
southern.
z That this convention does explicitly de
clare, as the sense of the American people
that after four years Of failure to restore th ;
Union by the experiment Of war, during
which, the pretense Of a military necessi.
ty or war power highe- than the Constitution
the Constitution itself has been disreearded
in every part, aud public liberty and private
right alike trodden down, and the material
prosperity OF the country essentially impaired
Justice, humanity, liberty and the public
welfare demand that immediate efforts be
made for cessation OF hostilities, with q
view to an ultimate Convention of the States
or other peaeeable MEANS TO the end that at
the earliest practicable moment peace may be
restored on the basis of the Federal Union
of the States.
g. That the direct interference of the mill
tary authorities Of the United States 10 the
recent elections held in Maryland, Missouri
Kentucky and Delaware, was shameful vic
latlon OF the Constitution, and a repetition oil
such acts in the approaching election will BE-
held as revolutionary, and resisted with all
the means and power under our control
4 That the aim and object Of the Demo.
cratic party are 10 preserve the Federal Union

they hereby declare that they consider the sd
ministrative usurpatioH of extraordinary and
DANGEROUS powers not granted hv tha Gonsti.
tution-the subversion of the civil by the mil
itary law In States not in insurrection the
arbitrary military arrest, Imprisonment, trial
and sentence OF American citizens in States
where civil law exists in full force; the sup
preston of the freedom OF speech and of tie
press; the denial Of the right of asylum
the open and avowed disregard OF State rights;
the employment of unusual test oaths; and
interference With and denial of the right OF
the people to bear arms in their defense, is
calculated TO prevent a restoration of the
Union and the perpetustion of government
deriving its just powers from the consent OF
the governed.
5 That the shameful disregard by the Ad
ministration of its duty, in respect 10 our fel-
low-eitzens who are now, and long have been,
prisoners of war in suffering condition, de-
serves the severest reprobation on the score
alike Of public policy and common humanity.
6 That the sympathy Of the Democratic
party is heartily and earnestly extended TO the
soldiery Of our army, who are, and have been
in the field under the flag of their country ;
and, in the event of its attaining power, they
will receive all the care, protection and re.
gard that the brave soldiers of the Republic
have so nobly earned.

Profanity OF Lincoln.

Lincoln has gained national reputa-

has now taken to hard swearing. He

free niggers to slavery" Judge Mills, Of
Wisconsin, has visited him lately, and
reports him as follows Says Lincoln
There have been men base enough to pro.

We observe that our old friend, Colonel
Medary, of the Columbus Crisis, hesitates in
giving his powerful support to the Chicago
nominees We have little doubt, however, as
the canvass progresses, that the Colonel will
see clearly that it is his duty to take his posi-
ton with the great mass of the friends Of
Peace, who will work hard to eject the Lin.

sster which could befall Mr.. Medary, and his
