sautary lesson in the nations progress.
The widest extravaganza abounds among
those thieves, mixed up with folly and
crime, until the nations of the earth are
looking upon us with utter amazement,
and are predicting disastrous closing up
of this mad career. 1t then seems PLAIN
TO US that we must sink into barharism,
or escape that by a military despotism-
Neither the one nor the other is very flat
tering. There must come day of reckon
ing. That it will be a sad one no sane
man can doubt. Let us therefore take
warning by the teachings of history, and
let the Democratic party he found where
they always have been found, on the side
OF their country, and if chance occurs
of redeeming the country from these ca
lamities, it must be done by that party

may throw up our cap at tile success Oh
Sherman's march, we may hang our hp

no bearing on the close OF the war
While the war goes on we may look Tor
victories and defeats. But il would take
many victories and defeats TO annihilate
the South or exhaust the North, and until
that is done the war progresses
Now let every Democrat, for it is TO
them we speak, who is liable to the draft,
and does not wish to go into the army.
and who cannot ea>ily leave his country,
provide himself if possible with substi-
tute, for we believe no man will be safe
from tic claws Of Lincoln until this Is
done And when this is done let them
finish up the business in their own plan,
and YOU and we can thank God we had
no hand in the destruction of our country.
We did all we could honestly to prevent
it. Mr.. Lincoln thinks, Or prctends 10
think that this county is inexhaustible,
He says there are more men in it than
before the war. He judges from the
amount of votes polled at the Presidential
election. He must know certainly that :,
vast amount of his votes were bogus. We

saying that lie was acquainted with a

, tion, nc counts this boy as sixteen men.
The party now in power never could 60
vern the country, whenever they got a
chance at il, the Democratic party had to
hurl them out and build up what they
tore down, but we fear they have had ii
too long now ever to be repaired BE
that as it may, many Of them will regret
when too late their hostility TO the Demo-
cratic party, the only party that could

How Long VIII ThIs War Last!

Tbs is question no doubt many
have been asking themselves, but very
few have given themselves a satisfactory
solution to that enquiry. Mr. Lin
coin saws it will last until these that be-
IN it will lay down their arms and sue
for peace When will the Southern peo-
pie do this q? When will they submit to
have their most eminent citizens hanged
and the rest disfrancllised! They know
well the fate that awaits them if they
submit. They may have had little or no
cause for commencing the war, but our
worthy President has given them cause
enough for continuing it They know
that if they are subdued, their property
will be confiscated and divided among
their masters. That their towns will be
all either burned OF garrisoned by their
slaves who will be put over them as their
masters That their liberties would be
that Of the Poles or the Irish, and their
social condition that Of Hayti or Liberia
Such being the fate that they know awaits
them, they will never lay down their
arms, no, never! They will lay down
their lives first They are not "A craven
but magnanimous people. We as
people would do the same thing were we
situated as they are, we would avert the
fate that awaits them, or die trying to
avert it. Had we carried on this war
un Ter tie Constitution, instead of outside
of it, had we carried it on according to
the Crittcnlcn resolutions, we might
a glorious peace and a restored Union, in
stead Of being the objects OF the scorn
and contempt of the nations of the earth.
Lincoln di-regarded his oath Of Office and
yielded to the pressure from New Eng
lanl, AMI we must sufer the pressure of
conScription, war, and taxation, until we
finally have TO yield also. This war will
then last while there is any resources iii
the North to carry it on. The favorites

The negroes must all be placed in Il politi-

When all this is done, and the resources
of the North completely exhausted, when
the last man and the last dollar that can
be grabbed by this administration are
gone, then indeed, it may not be treason
to talk of peace. Previous 10 that time,
let no man lay the flittering JUNCTION TO
his soul, that there will be any cessation
of hostilties. When this time may ar
rive hes hidden in the dim vista of futu-
rity, and we cannot yet get glimpse at
it The war may not last over four years
or 1t may last for forty, it depends on the
determination of the SouIh or the exhaus-
tion o. the resources of the North. Ii is
hard for US TO say which might hold out
the longest. But before it is finished. #
both sections are not in the predicament
of the Kilkenny cats, they will be badly,
crippled. The North must stand the ex-
penses OF four millions day, and the
sacrifice of the lives of three hundred
thousand of the flower of their popula-
ton annually. The South must withstand

The Governors Message.

The Governors message docs not seem
IeaoIers III the Stale That abomlnabiv
mendacious sheet, the Philadelphia lnqm
rer thinks the message is too tame and
not rabld enough; ii says, " the Cover
nor has got a twingc OF the States Rights
disorder, and is not wilIin. to forward
General Hancock's PLAN unless the Ma
tional Government Is brought to terms,
and the authority Of Governor Curtin 10
commission his own tavorites to he Off
GERS over picked troops is acknowledged"
1t adds that it is not likely that the
war department viii humble itself to
Governor Curtin, and therefore that
Pennsylvania will have no troops in Han
cocks corpse, unless the legislature should
intel lere." We trust that the Legislature
will not interfere in the matter. We all
know how Governor Curtin was used be-
fore, when Pennsylvania was invaded,
and when the genera! government had
gobbIed up all the men that could be
raked out Of The State, when he applied
iOr some Of his OWE men 10 protect theli
own soil from the invader. No, they
could not spare him man. He was
compelled to apply TO the copperhead
Governors of New York and New Jer-
scy, for assistance, who gave ii TO him
timely and checrfuIly 7hy had a small
twinging of tie States Rights disorder
too, and had nc; sold out their entire
States to the general government, they
were therefore able to help themselves and
help Governor Curtin too.
Ii he is to do nothing but at the beck
of the general government, he had better
resign and let that immaculate governments
appoint :. man for Pennsylvania who viii
do their bid,Iin.. That Is what they art
drifting to, to ignore state Rights and
treat the States as if they were conquered
provinces, appoint the Governors and il
they don't please them dismiss them and
appoint others,
We are glad to see that Curtin has
shown some spirit in his message, and
will not suffer himself to be tramp!e,i
on by the war department.
