by parties not accustomed to handling

A Correct View.

The Richmond Republic of Tuesday says:
with faithful intentions towards the
United States Government there are some
who seem to think of the past contest as one
between the North and the South, and look
upon themselves as conquered by the North
"a view of the subject which keeps alive a
ranking wound of sectional bitterness and
prevents that cordial resumption of old rela-
tions which all admit to be desirable. IL
seems to us that this is false view of the
parties to the struggle, and that if we would
recognize the real parties to it, we should
be able to discharge our duties as citizens of
the United States, not alone with cold fdeh
ty, but the old sentiment Of ardent loyalty.
The two parties to the struggle were ma
jority of the Southern States on one side,
and the United Stetes Government, inclu-
ding all the Northern and Southern States
on the other. South Carolina, having led off
in the practical assertion of the State rights
doctrine of the South, and compelled other
Southern States to take sides either for or
against her, the debate of arms was opened
between the Federal and State Governments
and the sovereignty of the former has been
vindicated by the sword, as the Federal
school of politicians had always believed it
was by the Constitution. The south has bee,
rdnqoashed, not Iy the North, not byo section,
but by The Government of the United States.
That Government was the Government of
our fathers. II lcds the loork Of oar olca
hands
We have not been defeated by an enemy
or by jealous rival, but By alife-long friend.
Even during the war it was Southern born
man, and the descendant ofa Virginia ances-
try, who was President of the United States,
and at this moment it is Southern born
man and Southern citizen who is the head
of that Government which claims our SUI
preme allegiance; Away, then, with all sec,
United States Government, not section,
which seeks to rally us to the flag of our
fathers and we should return again to our
| old home, where the memorials of our grea-
test and our best are alone found, and per-
nit the patriotic blood we inherit from them
to warm our veins andanimate our hearts.
| That such will be the result, that Virginia
will become again bright and glowing star
in the American armament, we have no
more doubt than of our existence. But it
will facilitate this result if people will cease
| to think ofthe war as a trial of strength be-
tween two sections, and bear in mind thatit
is government, founded by themselves, ad-
ministered for their benefit, controlled for
their own men, which after struggle into
which we were dragged by a single Southern
| State, now claims that we shall return to our
old place, not in name only, but In hearty
| fidelity to the authority of the United States.

Tended as late as Jan. 1868, in the House Of
Representatives, by Geo. FL. Pendleton, the
Chicago candidate for Vice President. And
yet this party calling themselves Democrats
are continually crying out for the Constitu-
ton as it is, telling us how they opposed Sc
eession, stood by the Union, the Constitu-
ton and the laws.
But this is not ALL Geo. Fl. Pendleton,
on the 18th of Jan. 1861, in the House OF
Representatives, said

William B. Reed, Of Philadelphia, a
prominent Democrat, in his ''vindication,
published in August, 1862, says:
"If the choice be between continuance OF

demoralization, certain miseries and uncer-
tain results, and recognition of the South
ern Confederacy, AM IN FAVOR OF REC
oGNFTIoN, of course making the Abolition
party responsible Tor this dread necessity.
Edward Ingersol, of Philadelphia, in a
speech at Democratic celebration in New
York, April IS, 1865, said
II Weld to no man in sympathy for the
people of the South-a gallant people strug-
Cling nobly for their liberty against as sordid
and vile tyranny as ever proposed the deg

and with Jefferson, Madison, and Lying-
ston, I fully embrace the doctrine Of seces-
sion as an American doctrine, without the
element of which American institutions can
not permanently live.
Thus, in the beginning, the Democracy
invited secession, and, to the end it eneour-
aged rebellion with sympathy and prospects
of ultimate success. And yet the same par
ty with the brazen effrontery of those har-
dened in crime, attempts to palm off such
glaring falsehoods upon the people as those

The Population OF New York.

Some of the journals of New York are dis
cusslng the census returns, which do not
sustain the claim that the total population
amounts to one million or thereaDouts. The
Tribune insists that the returns made for
1860 by Marshal Rynders's deputies, who
we're paid by the head, and made the total
population Sl3,669, were enormously two
large and that the boast that the city has
million inhabitants, is a trick for securing a
larger political representation. The figures
of the Tribune are as follows:
"Our city was divided by the Secretary of
State into 439 Enumerators, Districts,
whereof final returns have already been re-
ceived from $40. These show an aggregate
population of fraction over six hundred
thousand (60l ,02I). Should the remain
der average the same as these, the popula-
ton of our city viii be 7l3, III.
1t Is highly probable, however, that the
districts last to be returned, or the returns
from which have been sent back forcorrec-
ton, will prove considerably more populous
than the others, though the aid of the polio
tai invoked to form the districts equal in
population as nearly as might be. But as
suming that the 60 districts yet to be return
ed will average twice as many inhabitants as
the $40 already returned, the total popula-
uon OF our cl0y VIII De SO, Zi3. We doubt
that it will be found much to exceed eight
hundred thousand "
The World, on the other hand, denounces
the present census as fraudulant in that it is
certain to give far less than the aggregate
population, with view of ret1uci,,0 the city
representation in the Legislature. and max
ing New York second rate city of the
Union. The enumerators, it saws, were Sc
lected for their politics, and it Is very well
understood that no one could be appointed
unless his party record was good one. The
WOrldchargesalso that systematic attempt
to swindle the democratic districts of the
State is making by the enumerators. These
however, appear to origi
nate in partisan feeling, and are not. SO far
as is known, sustained by the facts

COPPERHEAD LOGIC.

The Copperheads argue that because a por-
ton of the Republican party is in favor of
allowing the blacks to vote, therefore the
policy of the party is negro suffrage. The
Circleville Union, thus beautifully turns
their own logic against them
l. jeff. Davis is leading Democrat, who
rebelled against the Government, therefore,
the Democratic party is in favor of the re-
bellion and all the crimes committed by him
as President of the Southern Confederacy.
?. All the Generals in the Rebel Army
are Democrats; therefore, the Democratic
party endorses their warfare against the
Union.
3. j. Wilkes DUuun, ayErv, hehtv'le ona
Harold, were Democrats; therefore, the
Democratic party approves the assassina-
ton of President Lincoln and the attempted
assassination of the Stewards.
4. DIR. Blackburn, Jake Thompson, BeV-
erly Tucker, and others, all Democrats, at
tempted to introduce the small pox and yel-
low fever in the Northern cities; conspired
to poison the Croton Water Works; organi-
zed the st. Adams raid; caused Bennett to
fire the city of New York, advised and
counselIed Booth and Payne to murder the
President, therefore, the Democratic party
is in favor of all these atrocities.
