The Democrat and Sentinel.

Our last issue of May the 9th, closed
up our year, and on account of sickness
of our hands it became inevitable for us
TO suspend the publication up to the pre-
cent time, that is three issues were want
ing of the paper Of course the subscri-
bers viii lose nothing by it, as they will
get their full time. The paper will be
vigorously carried on hereafter, as we hope
1t will not be SO difficult to get hands, and
material will get little lower. We know
1t is annoying to subscribers to be disap-
pointed of their paper, but it is still more
annoying to the publisher who has done
everything in his power to give them their
paper regularly and unable to accomplish
it. We need not tell our readers that hast
year was hard year TO get work done,
they know that as well as we can tell
them, whether they be farmers, merchants
or manufacturers. During these three
weeks Of suspension we have been often
asked is the 50 Democrat and .Seuti,aeI'
dead? We invariably answered no. They
might as well expect that the government
of the United States would die, because
Abraham Lincoln was assassinated, as
that the old Democratic organ of Cambria
county, composed of one thousand of a
majority of as true Democrats as ever
lived, would on account of missing a few
numbers of the paper at the end of year,
would die. Particularly when there is
"nobody hurt 1t Will rise like the
Phoenix from its ashes, the brighter from
this. impediment.
While human nature exists, the Demo
cratic doctrine will survive. 1t is like,
Truth crushed to earth shall rise again.
The eternal years Of God are hers,
While error wounded, wrjthes IN pain,
And dies amid her worshippers."
But the Democratic party must not be
careless nor apathetic. Thomas Jetfer-
son, the great apostle of the Democratic
party said eternal vigilance was the price
of liberty. The party must sustain the
paper that sustains them and their princi-
pies. They will be expected to pay US
last years subscription, advertising and
jobwork, and next week will afford them
fine opportunity.

EDITOR DEMOCRAT AND SENTOEL -
Some of the boys receive letters almost
daily inquiring as to the condition Of our
sick. Feeling that it would be an item
of interest to many, if not all of your
readers, | will drop few lines concerning
the sick of our company from Ebeusburg
and vicinity First on the list comes
our good natured friend George Gurley,
who has been in the hospital for the past
month, we are happy to say that George
is almost as well as ever, and will soon be
permitted TO return home or join his com
panv. Next comes Il. II. Singer, who
has been off duty since our review on the
10th instant, having ruptured himself on
the march he also is doing well, and
will soon join his friends at home. Phil
Dolan had been pulled down by dIarrhea,
but he is mending very fast and will soon
be right again. David H. Evans, has
also been troubled with the same com
plalnt,- but is much better. John Kane
was taken down very suddenly and sent
to the hospital, bnt am glad to chronicle
the fact that John is able to be about and
among US again. Thomas Parrish had
been poorly but is we'll again. These are
the names Of all from your vicinity and
they are doing well. Our present camp
is delightful situation for health and
recreation. Your friend s

VERY PETTY LARCENY.-The row of
offices occupied by Messrs- Kirtell, john
ston & Oatman, DR.. Gardner and Reede,
have been tastefully put in mourning since
death OF the President. About midnight
on the 9th inst, two very tall Abolition
boys" attempted to steal the drapery.
They succeeded in tearing it loose one
half the length of the building, and man
aged to cut off about three yards of the
mourning which was all they got for their
pains. The larceny would have been
complete in few moments, but the thieves
were surprised and toddled off in double
quick time.

The Aileghanian.

we nave no taste nor talent Tor news
paper controversy, and would much rath-
er plod along our own way; than to en-
gage in those idle chickering's with our
neighbors, which only foment bad blood,
and do not satisfy our subscribers, who
pay US for something more useful as IN
formation, and more fitting for the domes-
tic freside We trust, however, that
our readers will pardon US for once refer
ring to the AUegha'aon.
That paper, in its issue of the 4th inst,
has two articles to which we propose
giving a few moments attention. One OF
these articles is headed . Cheap Loyalty
the other is '' Rejoicings over the assas-
sination of President Lincoln" The gen
eral purpose of the former Of these articles
is to abuse Democrats for mourning the
assassination Of the President the latter
to abuse Democrats for rejoicing over the
same occurrence
The Aleghalan insists upon monopo-
ly of mourning for himself and bis Aboli-
ton frien ds; and is like the little boy at
his fathers funeral who quarreled with
another boy for crying about hiS father
We differed from President Lincoln Just
as much as he differed from Jefferson and
jackson and we expressed those differ
ences freely and fearlessIy. But when he
fell by the hands of an assassin-when
the President was no more--every Demo-
crat, every right thinking man, felt that
it was an awful visitation upon our coun-
try. Especially did Democrats feel the
blow for an addition to the personal
amiability of the deceased Chief Magis-
trate which should have arrested the hand
of the assassin, they, feel that his last
acts were all directed to speedy and
bloodless reconciliation and reunion of the
States and for which the radicals of his
own party had already commenced abu-
sing him.
But Democrats mourned more than
this in the death of the President. In
that sad event they saw another triumph
Of that s. Higher Law" principle which
has been preached by Aboltionists for
the last two years, which caused the nlur-
der of unoffending and loyal Virginians a
few years ago, and which eliminates in
tho hrI,ta1 ynnpJor nf
with every true Democrat, and every
good citizen the names of John Brown
and j. Wilkes Booth should have COM
mon Immortality Of ofinfamy.
But whatever opinions We had of the
political or personal character of Presi-
dent Lincoln we were willing they should
be buried with his remains, and we sin
cerely Joined with our fellow citizens in
the general mourning.
But the AHeghGuan has so little sense
of propriety,-so little regard fo1 the dis
tinguished dead that it goes to the
trouble to eThtaae from the grave of the
last political campaign the harshest things
we had ever said of the late President,
thus giving then renewed currency.
We pity the hyena-hearted man who
would thus parade to the world the ante
morten opinions of the opponents of the
late President-no paper IN the State has
done so, save the AHeghanian ;-and as it
claims monopoly of the mourning, so
let it have monopoly of this infamy p
