The Democratic citizen.

We are greatly reioiced to receive again a
copy of "Flannigan's paper tho Democratic
Citizen, published al Mason, Warren county,
Ohio. After his arrest it was suspended for
three weeks, but now resumes, under the con
troll of jeremiah Flynn, Success to it Let
the Democrats of Warren sustain IT, We are
glad that it refuses to give mp Thia 10 the
true spirit. ' l...''
The following sound doctrine is from Mr..
Flynn's "Salntatory:"
In discussing the political issnes Of the day,
we shall fearlessly criticize the acts OF those
in authority, and condemn that which we may
think unconstitutional and injurious 20 the
country believing that il such acts are con
stitutonal an honest criticism will not affect
them; but, if unconstitutional. they should be
ventilated, that The people may see their de-
formity. \ While we shall yield hearty sup
port to the General Government in preserving
lis constitutional vigor we at the same time,
shall defend the State Governments IN ali
their rights, believing them to be competent
administrators OF our domestic concerns, and
the only bulwarks against despotism which
inevitably follows consolidated or central
lied government
In the present crises Of our Governmenl
we shall advocate that policy which We think
will, in the shortest time, bring about an Am
icable adjustment OF the troubles of the war
rings sections, and restore the Union to III
once prosperous condition, that our nRtioT
may again take its proud stand among th'
powers Of the earth. n z
Believing that the mass Of the American
people desire peace, and that already to'
much Of the best blood Of the country hA
been sacrificed we shall favor a thorough
trial of peaceabls negotiations, and counse
a spirit Of honorable concession that this en'
NAV be brought about; that statesmanshiI
may triumph, aod that the noble heroes wh'
are now in the tented field may return L
their homes, their wives aud children anl
hereafter live in peace and happiness.

cept the statement Of the Wilmington cor
respondent Of TIE New York Herald, that
on the nth, (this day week, Sherman
marched from Fayetteville in the direction
of GOIdsboro. Raleigh is nearly due
north of Fayetteville, and Goldsboro some
sixty to eighty miles east Of Raleigh, on a
line almost east and west. Ii the state-
ment be true. the Confederate eoncentra-
tion would probably take place south Of
this line, between the two points. kins-
ton is some thirty miles ,lne east of Colds
boro, aud it is doubtful whether, up To
the lIth. It was occupied by the Re,lstsl
forces. A letter to the New York Post,
dated opposite Kinston on that day, says
the Mayor was ready TO surrender. One
Of the numerous dispatches purporting to
come from "Newbern,' says it was occu-
pied on the 10th, and adds, with charm
ing originality, that '1he enemy were de-
morali2ed on leaving Kinston for Colds
boro" Another Especial" says they were
"panic stricken long continued panic,
truly as the last fighting there took place
on the 10Th. But whether Kinston were
evacuated or not, the forces Of Bragg and
Johnston conld easily prevent the junction
of SchoGeld and Sherman, unless the for
mcr should move south and west by a cir
cuitous route.
A Federal dispatch represents that Sher-
idan had been fighting at Ashland, just
north of Richmond, and had "falen back"
to the Pamunkey.

Yesterday afternoon, the New York
associate" telegraphed that the New
York Tribune had positive information"
that Lee had notified Davis that he could
not resist the accumulation Of forces
against Richmond, This stuff was from
an editorial in Greeley's paper, which no
Democratic paperlwouh grAtuitously have
published. And yet, being telegraphed,
every Democratic daily paid for the pre-
cious privilege Of giving it circulation. I 4
At the same time, Washington "spe-
cial'' announced that Stanton had Just re-
turned from the front, and said that Grant
said ''he knew exactly what Lee was
about !" The only wonder is that Stan
ton did not telegraph this most important
item tohis darling correspondent, the in
evitable Dix.
This morning we are saluted with the
"abdication" of jeff. Davis in favor OF
Lee, which "IoyAlists" will, of course,
eagerly believe. What the afternoon tel
egraphic diarlhea will bring out, we shall

JEFF. Davis has visited Johnston's army.

young Count Londy was Lieutenant in

terror and cruelty which even now is

of the French in 1912. Fifteen years
later, youth of unknown parentage
was apprenticed to Hamburg builder.
