The Democratic papers are 50 pleased with th'
fact that some Of our military heroes do no
refuse ciyilites when oficiously rendered then
BY aspiring Democrats, that they parade it dav

large capitals, and with an amusing amount 0
self complacency congratulate themselves upor
this astonishing fact And their delight is
alter all, not surprising. After their persisten
and bitter opposition to the war, eliminating nc

cowardce and desertion of country expressed
in he Chicago platform, which plainly declared
that the war conducted by Grant, Sherman
Meade, Hancock, Sheridan, and their heroic and
gallant soldiers was " failure, and ought TO
be abandoned, the men who framed that decla
ration Of poltroonery, and carried 1t inscribed
on their banners through the presidential cam
paign, cannot be expected to be less than jolly
at finding their past record 30 far forgotten by
these heroes as not to furnish the occasion for
treating these Democrats with sc0rniul and dis
tant dlsdain. But we beg our contemporaries
not to be too much" set up by this ciyllity, as
tits evidence rather Of the mercful and forgyng
disposition Of the Generals, than Of the merit Of
the partisans who are thus elevated into notice.
The bulk of the rebels are already pardoned by
the Presidents amnesty proclamation even
Gen Lee and bis entire army were substantially
forgiven by Gen. Grant and it would be IN
consistent, rs well as inconsiderate and ungen-
erous 10 this general oblivion, il our Generals
should curiously inquire, when Northern men
offer them carriages, speeches and champagne,
into the political antecedents Of each Of the
millions who hasten to do them honor.
We would suggest, however, that the men
who only lew months ago stood on the Chicago
platform and denounced the war as hopeless

campaign against Richmond most disastrous and
murderous, and who styled Sbermans march

The Pro-Slavery Democracy.

The Democratic party is determined TO learn
aothing and to make no advance in the progress
Of these revolutionary times. 1t pretends to be
exceedingly friendly to President johnson, and
many of its papers have taken much pains to
commend the wisdom OF bis discourse the other
day to the South Carolina delegation but they
are exceedingly choice in their selections OF the
portions Of his dIscourses which they deem es
peciaily worth, Of praise. They are enthusiastic
in their admiration of his perspicac.ty when he
expresses the opinion that the negroes are not fir
TO be entrusted with the ballot, but they are as
reclloent oysters in regard to his announcement
10 the Palmetto gentlemen that Slavery must be
abolished 10 that State, and the constitutional
amendment adopted by the Legislature. II they
discover the smallest indication that the President
holds the negro to be inferior to the whites they
are in ecstaoes Of delight, aud patronizngy slap
erat, and they are ready to sustain him; but they
lose no opportunity which is presented to them Of
flying in the face Of his whole policy of emauoi-
patton. Ony the other day, in the New Hamp-
shire legislature, nmety-six Democrats recorded
their votes against the ratification Of the oonst,u-
tional amendment abolshng slavery; while il
President Johnson has any one purpose which he
holds more earnestly to than another, il is that
slavery shall hencelorth be impossible in the
United States.
Yet this action Of the New Hampshire Democ-
racy is not a matter Of surprise. The party ha'
always resisted emancipation, opposing it by every
expedent aud trick known to politicians; and ia
opposition TO negro suffrage is only another way
of exhibiting its old devotion TO slavery. Til,
party is essentially, in il, principles and policy
the arstocaIic party Of the country. 1t is loud
10 its talk about the rights OF man, but its princ
pies and its legslAtiAn where i has had the power

.. SPENCER,
The above notice, for Convention of the free
men Of Washing on County, We clip from WA
Tons Daily Of last Tuesday, and presume it tC
have emanated from the Union County Commit
tee whose rames are appended to il, although ne
one of them has taken the trouble to send US
copy for publication. We also suppose, mas
much as the " call is to those who would sup
port the administration of Andrew Johnson, &c.
that it was intended to summon a Convention t
be held this present year "a. d. although
we are not yet quite certain that pont,and il may
be for convention to be held half-dozen years
ahead if not for one half-dozen back. Certai,
it is, the call is not dated, and has no sign, form
figure or show OF year in or about it, There is
another pint connected with it that creates sus
picion Of its legitimacy 1t has bsen the time.hon
ored custom of our County Committees to call the
Conventions on Saturdays, and the people have
been greatly accommodated and pleased with that
arrangement. This one is called for Tuesday
The reasons which induced the Committee to de-
part from the established precedent art doubles,
well known to themselves, and very probably quite
satisfactory to themj still the people might pos.
siby relish a little outward manifestation OF the
great good to be attained by the change, Then
again, the call is to those who would aid in re-
establishing the Federal authority and Govern
ment over all the States" &c. Now we had sup
posed, very iooIisby, perhaps, that the " Federal
authority had been re-established throughout
the length and breadth of our land and we find
the " boys in blue" who are now all at home, or
on their way home, bold to the same opinion, and
imagine they have done up the job OF re.estab-
fishing 80 thoroughly that the old Union will stay
" re-estabshed," till after next August, at least.
IT. however, the Committee do deem it necessary
to open " recruiting office, to mid in re-es-
tabllshung the Federal Government over all the
States, some Of the returned heroes who read
the FREEMAN would like to 90 in for the ser
vice. 1t would be quite as pleasant filling the
Provisional Governorship OF Florida -the only
State in which there is the ghost Of a chance to
"ad," and even there rumor has it that Judge
Marvin is already appointed Goyernor--as filing
the trenches in front Of Richmond and it might
not be quite so risky.
We shall make dilIigent search and inquiry the
coming week, aud il we get any light on this
"call, against which we have drawn about as
lengthy bill Of exceptions as lawyer does in a
chancery suit-our readers shall have the benefit
Of it. Several Of US have slight curiosity to
attend the County Convention. The problem Of
last year, drafting process is to be worked
out at the Convention this year and there is nat
urally some little interest felt III It's solution
Some changes of base" and even " flank move
ments," are rumored. SO, dear good Commit
tee, pray do NJ much longer leave US in doubt
about the gin-u-winen Of the above call
