The Mob.

On last Saturday, between the hours Of
one and two o'clock, p. NJ, a mob of SOL
diers, numbering twelve or fifteen, entered
this Office and attempted its destruction
They injured our property to the amount OF
about $400. In speaking of it we shall be
brief and to the point. AS to the soldiers
who took part in this act of lawlessness, we
are satisfied that they were instigated by
praying Republican citizens of Lancaster
hypocritical men, who do not practice what
they preach-men who have property here,
and who ought to know that the safety OF
themselves and property depend upon their
example and inculcation of morals, law
and order. If mob violence is to pre-
vail no one is safe; anarchy and a
total destruction will certainly follow. From
what we learn the attack upon the office
was preconcerted arrangement. The
streets were crowded with Republicans,
some of whom clapped their hands in exul-
tation. There has been constant and sys-
tematic effort upon the part of designing
Republicans ever since the war commenced,
topoison the minds of soldiers against Dem
ocrats. Various reports are abroad about
the matter. Several Democrats who pro-
tested were emaltreated. That our whole office
was not demolished is due to the exertions
of Marshal Lantz and several Republicans,
among whom we will specially name VIM.
p. Creed, Lieutenant Cornwell, Captains
Noles and Clarke. The soldiersn not engaged
in the riot condemned the conduct of their
comrades. The people of the North have
enough to do to fight secessiondom. The
man, that will by misrepresentation and
falsehood endeavor to incite civil war at
home, should be held in utter detestation
by the community; 81 Jssli i43,iQas

field Democracy to the Democracy of the

To the Democracy of Ohio

The Democracy of Ohio are referred to
the Call for Democratic State Convention,
just issued by the State Central Committee,
and printed elsewhere in THE STATESMAN.
The Convention will be held on the TWENTY
THIRD OF MARCH, being the FoURTHWEDNEs-
DAY of that month-the day agreed upon
by the Committee at its meeting on the 18th
of last November. Let the Democraticpeo-
pie of the several Counties of this great
State, respond to the Committees Call in q
prompt and effective manner; let wise, ju-
dicious, and reliable members of our
glorious Old Party be sent up as Dele
gates to this most important Conven-
tion; let the momentous work of 1864
begin Alright; let it be the aim of the
Democracy, everywhere, to make this in
deed the year of Democratic Restoration
thereby restoring the Union and maintain-
ing the Constitution, as our Fathers made
them; letharmony and good feeling per-
wade the entire party; letthere be no quar-
rels as to Candidates; let the Nominees of,
Democratic Conventions be heartily ratified
and cordially supported, by all the friends
of the Constitution and the Union: Do all
this, and you will overthrow the Destruc-
tive Radicalism that has well-nigh ruined
the Country, and you will place the Gov
ernment in the hands of Statesmen who will
rescue 1t from impending humiliation.
The Democratic State Central Committee
took no action as to the selection of District
Delegates to the Democratic National Con-
vention. That is left with the Democrats
of the several Congressional Districts, who
are abundantly able to make their own ar
rangements and see that they are carried
out. We suppose that District Conventions
will be held, at the proper time, to elect
District Delegates. This seems to be taken
for granted. -jFj1 F1 tff fh3S

BILE terms assured the country that the
Emancipaii,n IN proclamation struck death
blow to otherebellion, and that atanotherd DEATH
blow was struck by The proclamation Of
Amnesty, as 1t is called. Before Mr.. LIN
COINS election the leaders Of the same party
were certain there was no danger Of civil
war. After that election they were positive
there would be no war. When war actually
came, > the seventy-tiyes thousand militia
called for in Mr.. LINcoLN's proclamation
after the bombardment of Sumter, they said,
would end the strife In three months. In
about that time we had the first battle Of
Bull Run. Then the Administration leaders
said there must be put In the field at once
Half Million of men, to bring the war to
close Immediately, and not allow 1t to last
for two or three years. hp f
A stop was put to enlistments in the win
ter of 1s6l-62, because they said they had
troops enough to crush the rebellion. But
the next spring and summer campaign
opened, and call came for three hundred
thousandmore men, and then soon afterward
a draft was ordered for three hundred thou
sand more, but only for nine months, as In
that time the war would certainly end. But
before the nine months were up, drafting
was begun for three hundred thousand more
men, followed by a call in October last for
another three hundred thousand, which,
Senator WILSON said in January last would
be all the Government would want. This
October call has been increased by Mr.. LIN
COLIN to Half a Million, and Governor
BRoUGH, rehearsing the old story of his
party leaders, calls upon the people of Ohio
to come forward and 'mass an army suf-
ficient in single season to strike death
blow to this rebellion"
There may be anecessity for thenew levy
under the policy of the Administration. OF
this the men in power must be the judges.
But the record of the past shows an imbe-
cility, want of foresight, and -culpable
mismanagement in the conduct of the war,
which is likely 10 continue as long as the
p, esent leaders Of The Administration have
a lease Of ppwef. The pastfs pretty GER
tain guarantee of what the future win be,
Under their policy and management.
