THE WAR DEMOCRATS.

Our article upon the War Democrats and
the action of cur County Convention appear
to trouble the Editor of the Cleveland Herald.
So far as our opinion CT that non-descript an.
imal y'clept "war democrat" ia concerned, it
is not half SO rough as the kicking they got
from the Herald when the report went forth
that our members of Congress had jumped
Jim Grow and adopted swar" resolutions
The Herald was especially down on them

der, and they were met with terms of vitu-
peration and abuse, when it was thought they
we're going to ~out-Philips Philips and out.
Garrison Garrison, that were never equalled
in the billings gate of the most degraded and
obesce of fsh-women. You gave them, Mr.
Herald, just what they deserved, but don't
complain of us because we happen to despise
the curses a little more than you do.

Napoleon1s Recognition Proposf-
ton. -.

GFrom the London Post lofty articlel Feb. 24.]
Advices from Paris state IN more positive
terms than before that confidential negotia-
tions have been entered upon by the French
government With the Cabinet of st. James,
for the joint recognition of The southern Con
federate States of America. 1t is stated that
France has even expressed itself prepared to
recognize the States alone in the event of a
negative answer being returned by the British
government. Although this information reach.
es us from reliable quarters, we do not vouch
for its authenticity. Notwithstanding its has
received corroboration in influential quarters
here, and has for some days been currant in
the city.

sharp Practice.

Amember of the Ohio Legislature has
been neglectlirg his duty as a Legislator and
occupied his time in standing on the street
corners of Co lumbns and bartsring in volun-
teers-buying substitutes. He has made
$1,000 in this transaction. A committee has
been appointed to investigate the matter.
No doubt this member of the Legislature
who has been buying and selling white people
has a greatdeal to say about the tfpoor negroes
being sold at the-south, but can, with satis-
faction to himself, buy up white men and sell
them in the slaughter feld.-Erchange. ~.

Now observe this note. L. j. SpRENGLE
gets the use of this money for thirty days
Within the thirty days, HENRY HILDEBRAND
has to go back to his regiment. The note is
not made payable to him or bearer and this
way he is not only getting fifty dollars, clear
swindle from the soldier, but he is getting the
use of 500 for thirty days, to commence with,
but when HILDEBRAND is gone to his regi-
ment, the curse ~SpRENeLE, can refuse to pay
to anybody but HILDEBRAND himself. Again,
this note itself is evidence ofthe fraud. There
is a acritten lie on the face Of it. JEFF SpREN-
GLE did not pay the boys fifty dollars or any
other sum. He was, in plain terms, taking
this money, not from the people of the town
ship, but from the boys The committee will
pay the men $3.50 each, but they will not sub.
nit to an arrangement by which JET efrauds
them of so largo a sum
We may have q fuller exposition of this
matter in the future. There is enough to
damn to eternal disgrace and infamy the
name of L. JEFF SPRENaLE among his neigh.

The One Term Principle for Prcsi
Ann

The Westliche Post, the Radical Republi-
can German organ in st. Louis, has an excel
lent article upon the enormous patronage now
welded by the President 1t says
"The Republic was still young, and while
the President had only a few hundred Offices
and a few millions of money to distribute, the
danger was comparatively small but at pres
ent, when even in peace times the ofice-hoid-
ers number fifty thousand, and the current
expenses equal those of a middle-siz,d Europ-
can kingdom, the danger is
"It was with a view to this power that the
necessity of everlasting it was perceived long
before the war ; and various measures, such
as making the postmasters elective by the pee-
pie, were proposed. This would have been a
great reform, but it was not carried through,
partly, perhaps, because the number of office
holders was already too large.
nOur forty thousand Postmasters, are to-
day more or less pliable tools in the hands Of
the Government. IF they are net so, they are
displaced by others but fear of removal gen.
orally makes them obedient, or at least, keeps
them silent.
"This army of officials has been increased
by the war to at least hundreds of thousands
Amongst these there are undoubtedly many
who attend only to their official duties, but a
considerable portion of them will find it in
their interest to secure their place by jealous
exertiops for Lincoln, Amongst them are a
numbered politicians, who understanding wire
pulling Thoroughly, and who are generally fol
loved by many of their feilow-citizens in
whatever course they adopt. And this pub.
lie opinion is manufactured fer Mr.. Lincoln
Who does not see that the republic must suf
fer dsastrously under this monstrous burden
of dependent officials, and that tie indepen.
dent opinion of its free citizens is being total
ly destroyed. The only salvation lies in this
that the people arise with all their power
against so monstrous a guardianship system,
and, emancipate themselves from this control
of ofics-holders by rejecting the Office holders
candidate, and by declaring.in favor of the
one-term principle and a new President !! The
question at the next election is not merely
whether it is desirable or not that a certain
individual should lie retained in his office
but whether the people should subordinate
their will to that of the f6ce -holders' aristoc
racy which would be the first nail in thu
coffin of the republic ]"
