patriots that adorn the annals Of British
history, suggested and defended measures
OF Cancellation to rebels in arms against
"the government" of Great Britain. 1t

THE IMPORTANCE OF COUNTY NEwSrA-
rERs.-Among the many imperative du'
ties devolving upon Democrats, we regard
a united and cordial support of County
newspapers MS the most important. y
consistent and ably conducted Democrat
ic newspaper always exercises a great in
tluencc in its county and State. All other
influences combined are not to be COM
pared with it. Hnw much more this in
huence is increased when each Democrat
feels personally interested in its success
when each Democrat makes its cause
his own. Democrats, your duty is not
discharged when you simply take copy;
you should labor to increase lis subscri,
bers and thus increase its usefulness. In
this way you can assist and strengthen
the Democratic party more, than five
times the amount of labor and money
spent in any other manner. We have
entered upon an important and exciting
campaign,in which are involved questions
Of greater magnitude than ever before az.
itated the public mind. The opposition
are circulating documents extensively,
filed with the basest Misrepresentation
and foulcst lbels against Democratic
measures and men. To counteract their
wicked influence, to correct their misrep.
reservations, to warn the people against
the mischievous tendency of their doc
trines, Democratic newspapers must be
circulated, the antidote must accompany
the bane, to preserve healthy atmos-
phere. We therefore earnestly appeal to
the Democracy everywhere to subscribe
! for and circulate Democratic NEWSPAPERS.

WoRKING.-The Abolition doctrine of
amalgamation is working beautifully. 1t
is disgusting the respectable and better
portion of the Abolition party. The New
York Times says:
we shrink from putting on paper the stories
which reach Us as 10 the ptev Sirtt,e of yn,,nr
white ladies of refinement for eolored men
pure blacks having the precedence in all cases
where there is room for choice
Is this the "superior civilization and
refinement which the Puritans boast so
much OF and which they desire to intro
duce in the South?

CoPPERHEADIsM.-Jetferson, the father
of the Democratic party, said: "Those
to whom power is delegated should be
held to strict accountability to their
constitutional oaths of Office" a man
who says that now is called disloyal and
copperhead. In the Abolition creed
constitutional oaths Of Office" is stricken
out and devotion to the negro substituted.

DEMOCRATIC HARMoNY.-There never
was q period in the experience Of the
Democratic party Of this State, when ii
was more thoroughly q unit than it IL
now; in all essential particulars. The
men who created dissensicns In its ranks
and ''bolted" " nominations when made in
opposition to their wishes, have all affili-
Sted With the AbOlitiOnists, and are stir
ring up strife in that deleotable party
Purified by their apostacy, the Democrat
ic party is unit in its devotion to the
Union and the Constitution it is a unit
in its judgment as to the proper means
Va eaSe Ahsin it is a unit in its opposition
to niscegenation it is a unit in believing
that this Government was founded by
white men, on q white basis, for the ben
eft of white men and their posterity for
ever ~; it is unit in contending for con-
stitutional liberty in defiance Of bayonets
and bastiles; and it is unit in its con-
demnatiOn Of the purpose and policy OF
the Administration. None Of US have any
faith or confidence in the honesty, wisdom
or patriotism Of the men in power; none
of US believe that they have the inclina-
ton or ability to restore the Union; and
all of us believe that change Of men and
a change Of policy will lead to speedy
cessation of hostlities, and the restoration
of peace and Union upon honorable con.
ditions, at no very distant day. II we
differ at ALL, is as to the means by which
this change may be effected. United and
harmonious as the Democratic party Is,
its triumph next November is no Longer
doubtful, and ali that is necessary to carry
the State By an overwhelming majority
is thorough and efficient organization
Organize in every precinct in the county
fellow Democrats, and next November
old FL Dorado will again occupy her
proud position IN the Democratic party.

TIE DIFFERENCE.-The Administratio
party wage the war for the destruction OF
slavery, as its principal object. The Dem
ocratic party wage it for the restoration OF
the Union, and for permanent and endu-
ring peace. The time has now come
when all thoughtful and practical men
must decide between the two systems Of
policy, and choose which they will sus-
tain. Upon the decision Of this question
hangs the very existence Of our country,
the fate of republican institutions and the
liberties Of the people. The Abolitionists
boast that the war is not waged for the
restoration Of the Union and the suprcm-
acy of the Constitution, but for the con-
quest and suhjugation Of the revoIted
States and the cxtirpation of the institu-
ton Of slavery. That the Democratic and
Abolition parties occupy the positions
with respect to the war which We have
indicated, the following resolution lately
offered in Congress by Mr.. Dawson, a
Democratic Representative from Pennsyl
vania, clearly proves:
Resolved. That the President be required
by proclamation or otherwise, To declare, that
whenever any State now in inSurrection shall
submit herself to the Government as defined
in the Constitution, all hostiliries against her
shall cease, and such State shall BE- protected
from internal interference with her local laws
and the people fully guaranteed in all the
rights which The Federal Constitution gives
them"
How was this resolution rccciy(d?-
Every Democratic member Of the House
of Representatives voted for it, every Alb
clifton member against it. Submission
to the Government by the rcvol,cd States
is not sutIicien:, they must abolish slave
~ and embrace the Abolition creed b.forc
they will be allowed to return to the
Union This is the condition Abolition,
lists would impose upon the people of the
Southern States! 1t is insulting and re.
voting.
The mountain Democrat., 1864-05-21

CrAsr STrL a CANDipG7E.-We learn
from our Eastern exchanges that the
friends of Mr.. Lincoln are unreSeved in
denouncing the pretended withdrawal Of
Secretary Chase from the Presidential
contest. They say it is a shallow pre-.
tense, sham, poorly and ungraciously
made. They aver that the Chase pro-
gramme now is to make great fuss about
Fremont, and carry the fight into the
Baltimore Convention on that issue
Then when the fight grows hot and fl,
rious and irrcconcilable, they are to pro,
pose, for the sake Of harmony, that new
man be taken up; and that new man is
TO be General GreenbackS." Mr.. Lin.
coin friends insist upon his turning Chase
out Of the Cabinet, but the President,
unwilling to make martyr OF his Secrc-
tary and anxious to conci,iate the New
York Tribune, Chase organ, refuses to
accedc to their wishes In the Cabinet
he can do no harm, and his greenback
experiment promises to prove disastrous
failure, and by Iretanins him Lincoln
makes him shoulder the responsibility Of
failure. Ohio has repudiated Chase, and
to get even, it is whispered Chase has
numerous emissaries in Illinois, armed
with grecnbackS, to bribe the Illinois
Convention to repudiatc Lincoln. 1t is
doubtful whether the loyalistS Of Illinois
can resist such powerful argument. The
Germans are for Fremont, the radicals for
Chase, and the shoddyi:es and ofiice.hol.
ders for Lincoln, and as the latter control,
by their money and position, the party,
Lincoln's prospect Of defeating both Fre-
mont and Chase is decidedly bright. 1t
is not improbable, from the Jealousy and
dissension in the Abolition ranks and the
refusal Of the friends of Lincoln to post.
pone the Baltimore Convention till Sep
tember, that it will break up in row.
The mountain Democrat., 1864-05-21

MlsCEGESATIoN.-Som Of the Abolition
papers are disposed to revolt against the
new doctrine of misceGcnaton, which is
so popular among the radicals. The New
Haven Courier takes the New York Tri.
bune to task, as paper that has of late
been growing rapidly fanatical on every
subject relating to the negro, and is now
opening a discussion of the miscegenation
question, assuming the position that the, e
is no apparent natural reason why ne
groes and whites should not mingle in
marriage" The Courier may as well
bottle its indignation" 1t will be forced
eat its own words. The "postion as.
sumed" by the Tribune, that "negroes
and whites should mingle in marriage" "
will be indorsed by the Abolition party.
The leaders Of the party have SO decided
and from their decision there is no ap-
peal. Approval of 'misccgenation will
soon be another test of loyalty.

DoN'T FORGET IT.--The Hartford Times
wishes the people to remember that early
in 1850, John P. Hale, Of New Hampshire,
presented two petitions in the United
States Senate praying "that some plan
might be devised for the dissolution of the
American Union" Mr.. Webster, of Mas.
sachusetts, suggested as a preamble to
these resolutions
THAT as the members had sworn before
God to support the Constitution, they should
now take immediate steps to break those obll-
cations"
Upon vote being taken, the petitions
were rejected by the vote of the entire
Senate, with the exceptions of John P.
Hale, VIM. H. Seward and Salmon p.
Chase, who voted in favor of them
Seward and Chase are in Lincoln's Cab
met and Hale is one of the leaders of the
Administration party.
