Robbing soldIsrs.

There appears TO be regular gang OF
scoundreis hanging about Harrisburg of late
who play the nefarious trade of robbing SOL
diefs and new recruits by forcing them
selves upon their acquainiancs and by in
viting them 10 drink, take the opportunity
/ 10 put drugs in their liquor, which, when
the soldier parakes of, tenders him ob.iv-
ious and insensible 10 what is going on
around him, when he falls an easy prey 10
these sharpers. Scarcely day passes hat
the Harrisburg papers do cot chronicle some
one or more vases of soldiers being victimi :
zed to villains. The same evil exists in
New York and Philadelphia. One of the
daily papers published in the latter city
says: SIT is irightful 10 think of the num-
Der of careless soldiers who are thus vic
iomized In many cases, death, results
from the Vaccinations of these villains
and in hundreds of other instances sickness
and disgrace are the concomian,s." No
| soldier should carry about him large sums
OF money, and especially should none OF
them be too willing to pick chance &C.

ment or in the streets. As many young

ceiving large bounIies, who will be subject

advance, and urge them in advance,
TO take a note oil the above and be
discreet, and above all things avoid those
strangers with their 'fiash" cir and plau-
sible speech with whom they will be thrown
in contact. By doing so they will not only
save their sreenbacks, but likewise their
health and reputation which is OF much

4 FIash Of Trath.

1t . retreshing IN these days Of cfimina
lion, dslrsciion, ialsshood and viliicasion
by the whole hoafds Of Abolition orators,
slang and editors, 10 find an occa-
sional truthful assertion sparkling like 9
beautiful bfIIlian. among huge pile OF
unseemiy filth. When We do see an exam
pie Of The kind, a thing most rare, it is
worthy OF note, for seldom do the "support-
ers" OF Abolitionism allow a just word to
fall 10 the credit OF their political opponents.
The most rem arkabie acknowledgment of
the kind which we have noticed comes
from the New York Tribune, source from
which we nigh: least expect i,,and is in the
following language:
"The northern Democracy is not really
pro-siaverY, but anti. i.Eiervention: maintain
| ing, not that slavery is right, but that we oi
The free States should mind our own busi-
| ness and lei alone other peoples"
| This is no more than the plain and snvar.
nished truth, and however much it varies
from The hue aud cry of 'pro>slaveiy rais-
ed By the ours of ias Tribune's party at the
heels of the Democracy, no man will pre-
tend 10 gainsar il. Coming from source
which no aloyaln man will say is not orlh-
dox in Abobtionism, it is entitled al leasl
10 respect from The unreienting ioes Of De.
mocracy.
"The northern Democracy is no, pro-
slavery" and because il vas in earnest and
honest in hs support Of the government and
its primary principles, which left to the
States all rights not delegated to the Fed.
eral Government, and consequently conld
/ no, consent TO the iuiermeddline of Con-
gress iGto the domestic affairs OF The States,
il was denounced by the Tribune and pa
pers of iha. ilk a. pro-slavery. The non.
Intervention principle, which the Tribune
| scsords 20 the Democracy, is the very cor
nersione of the national goyernmenial fab.
ric, and for The reason that the party op
posed TO il, advocated the righ. OF Congress
TO legisiate for The States as such, is the
very reason that The Democracy and con
servaiives of the north lay at the door of Re-
! publican Abolitionism the crime of having
brought upon the country the dreadful
scourge OF the present civil war Nor can
they escape it. They may fippanlly praie
about slave.y being the cause of the war
and TO cover up their own criminaliiy in
the matter advocate lie extinction az neces-
sary 10 The preservation OF the Union of the
! States, but every man of sense knows full
well that it was their interference with the
institution of slavery, their meddIing with
other peoples business and not minding
their own that produced the disiutegraiion
OF the Federal Union and eniailed upon rs
and alter generations the tremendous bur-
den OF taxation necessary 10 carry out III eli
