cn1hnIIci.m and sIarer,.

The UisiUerSe the Catholic organ of Philadel-
phia, now powerfully edited by Mr.. J. NJ. Spell
Issy, is not disposed to be silent upon facts
which no one can deny. From It's editorial col
smns is quoted the following very sensible and
frank admission:
In a recent edition of the UpiUerSe the facts
by which slavery is at present surrounded were
examined, and those facts were fairly shown to
illustrate that the institution of slavery is vir-
tually destroyed by the war; that its overthrow
IS Just punishment on the South for the crime
Of rebellion; and that the future peace of the
empire demands its subversion. But we now
see that the Boston POSt-which is the most
spectacle Democratic journal in the country,
the New York World, which has been most
formidable enemy TO the Administration, and
the New York Herald, which has upheld slave
nv with the most signal ability and pertinacious-
hess for twenty years, now view things in pre-
eisely the same light. We Irish Democrats may
not like this complexion of things, and we may
abuse till we burst the Aboltionists as princi-
pal instigators of the Southern revolt; but facts
whether Just or unjust, are against us. The Abb
olitionists have actually carried the day, and it
is utterly out of our power to drive them back
to night again. AbolitiOnism of the most per-
petual and sweeping kind is seizing the entire
nation. And we may as well not attempt to re-
sist the national current. The tide is rising; let
us not permit it to leave us in the solitary sand.
As there is Christian philosophy in emancipat-
ing the blacks, let us have that philanthropy;
as it is justice to the nation 10 destroy slavery,
let us do justice to the nation; and the future
peace of the country demands the ruin of slave
ry, let us secure the peace of the country
Away with partizanshipl Away with the nom
sense of resisting the national current. Let us
at all events accept with grace what we cannot
undo"

Democratic Conspiracy.

The statement has been made that, out of
ninety Colonels appointed by Gov. Sey-
mour, all but one are Democrats Facts of this
nature gave rise to rather an acrimonious de-
bate in the New York Legislature last Tuesday
evening Several Democratic speakers having
complained of the charges of dislOyalty thrown
out against their party, Gen. Crooke, of Brook
lyn, an old Democrat is sketched as respond
ing:
Everybody knew that Democrats, as par
ty, were not all secessiOnists, but it was a la
mentable fact that when man. was found whose
sylnpathies were with the rebels he naturally
sagged over to the Democratic party. For this
he did not blame the Democratic party-it was
their misfortune. This brought down the
house He said that on his return from Get
tysburg with the Brooklyn troops last July, he
was informed that organizations were forming
for secret purposes. He made investigations in
relation to this mater, and ascertained that there
were in Kings county two such, with over fif-
teen hundred members each, sworn TO oppose
any draft by the General Government, and to
stand by the State, and further, that every man
of these was either a so-called Democrat or an
alien. He did not state this on heresay, but as
an actual fact
Fremont journal. [volume] (Fremont, Sandusky County [Ohio]) 1853-1866, 1864-03-11

The same tale is told by all who escape from
rebeldom. 1t is destitution and tyranny. The
Akron Beacon gives letter just received by a
gentleman who escaped from Georgia two years
since, from another refugee who has very lately
arrived at New York. The letter writer left his
home in Georgia on the Doth of January. He
says:
l had furnished substitute and had a dis
charge from service in the armies of the Confed-
eracy, but the Confederate Congress passed an
act few days before / left home to put those
in the army who had furnished substitutes, and
gave them until the LIST of February to volunteer
or be conscripted. l considered the act to put
me in the army, in bad faith, so mounted on
horseback and rode out.
The South is now under the severesl and
most cruel despotism. Some months before l
left home | saw 1cl,de men pursued with dogs,
by direction of Conscript Officers and forced
into the army at the point of the bayonet. o,
how revolving to our feelings, to see boys of
sixteen years of age, carried from their homes in
chains, to fight in cause which they had no
agency in bringing about.
The cOnscript act is now being vigorously en-
forced from I6 to 55 years of age, and with
scarcely any exemptions. When left there was
a great deal of suffering and the sentiment of
the people at home was that the war could not
possibly last six months longer. A good many
leading men have quit the field. Toombs has
quit and gone home, says the South is whipped.
Howell Cobb commands the Georgia State
troops, and is staying at home.
The present Administration at Richmond is
becoming very unpopular. was in Richmond
the lst Of January, and at any moment would
not have been surprised to hear of Davis assas-
sination. 'Tis true, the statements we see in
the papers here of the many desertions from the
Southern army. / crossed the Tennessee above
Guntersville, and remained at the front two
days, after passing within the Federal lines, and

The Plan Of the False democrats.

General CAN'T, of Arkansas, in his recent
speech at Harrisburg, made a startling
revelation concerning some of the Demo
cratic leaders in this State. He said that
after his capture by the Union forces, Che
was General in the rebel SERVICE at Is
land No. 10, he was brought North to this
State as a prisoner of war, and declared
that prominent Democrats of Pennsylvan-
la then conferred with him and assured MIN
M0t If tile rebels would hold ont q little long
er they ,oo,ld be successful, for the DEM
OCRATS OF THE NORTH acouId arrest
he eoar By defeating the conscriptiOn and
Dther,Cise rendering the administration poa0-
erIess to prosecute Il. And he added with
withering emphasis, II CAN GIVE you THE
NAMES IF WHAT | SAY IS DISPUTED A
humber of Democratic members of the
Legislature were present, but they did not
dare to question the statement or call for
the names. He said the Democrats of the
North advised them to war, promised to
come to their assistance, and then left them
alone in the struggle and confined them
selves to cowardly, perfdious, stealthy as
saults upon their own government. He
said that instead of Northern Democrats
coming to their assistance, the soldiers of
the Union came in overwhelming force
and conquered them - but, said he, they
brought government with them and res
cued us from tyranny more terrible than
death
Fremont journal. [volume] (Fremont, Sandusky County [Ohio]) 1853-1866, 1864-03-11


Gen. Garfield, of Ohio in a speech delivered
sentatives, ON the con6scation question, gave
this account of the progress of opinion in the
army of the United States, (which he was late
ly an officer:
Il remember to have said to a friend when l
entered the army, You hate slavery; SO do l;
but hate disuniOn more. Let us drop the sla-
very question and fight to sustain the Union
When the supremacy of the government has
been established, we will attend to the other
question:
q started out with that position taken in
good faith as did thousands of others of all par
ties. But the army soon found that, do what it
would, the black phantom met it everywhere, in
the camp, in the bivouac, on the battlefield,
and at all times. 1twas a ghost that would not
be laid. Slavery was both the strength and
weakness of the enemy. His strengthen it
titled his fields and fed his legions; his weak
ness-for in the hearts of slaves dwelt dim
prophecies that their deliverance from bondage
would be the outcome of the war.
'sThe negroes came from the cotton fields;
they swan rivers; they climbed mountains;
they came through jungles, in the darkness of
storms of night, to tell us that the enemy was
coming here or coming there. They were our
friends in every case. There has hardly been a
battle march, or any important event of the
war, where the friend of our cause, the black
man, has not been found truthful and hopeful
and always devotedly loyal. The conviction
forced itself upon the mind of every soldier that
behind the rebel army of soldiers, the black ar
my of laborers was feeding and sustaining the
rebellion, and there could be no victory till its
main support be taken away.
@Men on the other side, you tell me this is an
abolifi0n war If Won DleaSp to saw | grant
it. The rapid current of events has made the
army of the republic an abolition army. l can
find in the ranks thousand men who are in
favor of sweeping away slavery to a dozen who
desire to preserve it. They have been where
they have seen its maleyolence, its baleful ef-
feet upon the country and the Union, and they
demand that it shall be swept away"

The TrIbunc on Mr. LincoIn.
"llEr Lincoln has loeA discharged the reSpon
biities 0 fhis erolted station"

aNr. Lincoln has 1ceA discharged the reSponsi-
bilities Q. .fIliS erdIted station"
This is true. We are among these who work
ed hard to elect Mr.. Lincoln, and we are satis-
fed with the manner in which his public duties
have been discharged. He has been patriotic,
honest, and faithful. He has done his utmost
to serve and save the country. True, he has
sometimes erred in judgement and made mis-
takes: who has not? He is not infallible-not
a genius-not one of those rare great men who
mold their age into the similitude of their own
high character massive abilities and lofty aims.
But, considering his antecedents and his expe-
rience of public affairs-considering that few or
none of us anticipated the terrible war which
be has been compelled to wage, and the treason
able factiousness which has confronted and re-
sisted him even in the loyal States, we are sure
the verdict of History in his case will be, "Well
done. good and faithful servant" The luster of
his many good deeds will outlive the memory
of his mistakes and faults. To this extent, then,
we agree with the Legislature and Conventions
that have presented him as their favorite for re-
election.-N 7. Tribune.

A correspondent of the Newark Daily Jour
nal, writing on board the United States bark
Ethan Allen, off Charleston, February l3 says:
During the evening of the 9th instant, seven
deserters belonging to the Confederate navy
landed at Fort Gregg. They were from the
large three-masted vessel lying behind Castle
Pinckney, which is being iron-plated but is
used at present for receiving ship.
They say our shells are creating sad havoc
in the city. Nine persons were killed a few
nights since, and large number wounded, in
Guiding men, women and children, and twelve
houses burned to the ground. We could plain
ly see the fire from our ship and it is needless
to disguise the fact that Parrott shells are not
entirely harmless. The smouldering ruins OF
the city speak for themselves that Charleston
will soon lie a mass of ruins.
San expedition fitted out at Port Royal left
that place on Tuesday, under command of Ad-
miral Dahlgren. 1t is rumored here that they
are to attack fort up at Warsaw Sound. Moth
ing has been heard of the expedition since their
departure"
