the winds, hoping thereby to secure tempo
rary success We should welcome gladly,
enthusiastically, allies no matter what their
former political ideas or opinions, but let Us
welcome them within the temple of Democ-
racy, not in the huts and shahties ofpolicy !
Democrats supported President johnson
from the moment he dared to do right, not
from any hope of controlling or influencing
him, not for Offices or honors within his gift,
but simply from sincere love of country
and the most patriotic impulses. They do
so still, with thorough unanimity and hearth
ness. As long as he battles for the Consti-
tuition and the Union, and stands as bull
wark against Radical despotism and usurpa-
tion, the Democratic party will give him a
cordial support.
But there is feeling now prevailing in
the party which demands return to the old
landmarks-an infexible adherence to Dem
ocratic principles-and the sooner the lead
ers learn this fact the better it will be for the
party the more speedily shall we regain
our lost ground, and wipe out the stains of
dishonor and shame gainedi in the last policy
campaign under Bread and Butter au-
spices.
We must reorganize as DEMOCRATS, With
out delay LA Crosse Democrat.

What Is Loyalty I?

The term loyalty has been so fippantly
used by our Republican friends during the
last FIVE or six years, that it may be profta-
bic to inquire into its meaning In monarch
ical governments the term loyalty is used
to indicate fidelity or attachment to the per-
son of the Kingor reigning sovereign. Dur
ing our late war it was used by Republican
politicians and demagogues to denote support
of the President of the United States, and
an unqualified acquiescence in all his minis
terial acts. Te doubt the wisdom of his policy
was at once pronounced disloyalty, if not
rank treason No one was considered loyal
who failed to give his assent and support to
all the acts of the President. This was the
theory advanced by the leaders of the Re
publican party during the war, and acqui-
esced in by the rank and file of the party
over the whole country
But how is it now2 A change seems to
have come over the spirit of the dreams of
these gentlemen. They still prate about
loyalty as loudly as ever, but what was 10y
atty then is treason now, and what was trea-
son then, through some mysterious process
of transformation, has become the most sub
lime loyalty Support of the President
then was proof sufficient of man s patriot
ism; support of the President no1o is all the
evidence needed to prove him traitor.
The term loyalty, if its use be allowed
at all in this country must mean fidelity to
the Government of the United States, or in
other words to the Constitution of the Unit
ed States, the instrument upon which the
Government is founded, and without which
it could not exist. As before observed, dur
ing the war our Republican friends contended
that the President being the representative
of the Government, support of his policy
and acts was the true test of loyalty, whilst
the Democratic party adhered to the old fogy
notion that the Constitution was higher than
the President, and that faithful observance
of its provisions was the only rule by which
mans patriotism could be judged. Tried
by either of these tests the Republican party
viii be found wanting. Iffdelity to the Pres
ident be the test, then it is the most disloyal
party that ever existed in this country, for
no party ever displayed so much bitter and
malignant hostility towards Chief Magis-
trate of. the nation as it to-day displays to-
wards President johnson. IF fidelity to the
Constitution be the true test, as contended
by the Democrats, then it is equally disloyal,
because it is the declared purpose of its
leaders to subvert and change that instru-
ment by means of amendments, and because
they have fagrantly violated one of its plain
est provisions by denying representation in
Congress to ten States of the American Un-
ion. If the Republican party is a loyal party,
as it claims to be, we would like to know in
what its loyalty consists VALLEY Spirit.

United States Senator.

The dominant party in Pennsylvania is hav-
ing quite lively time, in its ranks, in re-
gard to the successor of Hon. Edgar Cowan,
in the United States Senate. There is quite
a number of aspirants for that position, and
every week produces more. The leaders of
the Disunionists only seek for two qualities
in the man whom they wish to elect The
first is, who can exert the strongest force to-
wards keeping the States discovered, the 9TH
er who will lay the most violent hands on the
Constitution and the soonest destroy it
They have three prominent candidates, whom
they believe possess these two necessary
qualifications They are found In the per-
sons of A G. Curtin, Simon Cameron and
Thad. Stevens The last named, being in a
position where he can greatly assist to carry

ernnent, will most likely be allowed to re-
main where heis until the ''gatherer" comes,

TRADE AT MEMPHIS Memphis Post
says that trade is very dull at present, and
adds an explanation: ''The alarming short
ness of the cotton crop, the receipts denim
ishing instead of increasing at the height Of
the season, and the heavy indebtedness with
which the South will close the year, is Gre
ating a little uneasiness in commercial cir
cles. A well informed Mississippi planter
says that in the country counties of that
State not an average of halfa-dozen plan
ters can pay their debts"

E@ " The Camp, the Battlefield, and
the Hospital, or Lights and iShado,cS ofthe
Great Rebellion, is the title Of handsome
volume, just issued by the National Publish
ing Company, 507 Minor Street, Philadel-
phia, Pa The Author, DIR. l.. p. Brockett,
has delved most industriously amongst the
masses of curious incidents which have mark
ed the late war, and has grouped and classi
fled them under appropriate heads, and in an
attractive form.
There is a certain portion Of the war that
will never go into the regular histories, nor
be embodied in romance or poetry, which is
very real part of it, and will, if preserved,
convey to succeeding generations better
idea of the spirit of the conflict than many
dry reports or careful narratives of events,
and this part may be called the gof ZIP, the
fun, the pathos Of the war. This illustrates
the character of the leaders, the humor of
the soldiers, the devotion of women, the
bravery of men, the pluck of our heroes,
the romance and hardships of the service
From the beginning of the war the author
has been engaged in collecting all the anecz'
dotes connected with or illustrative of it.
The volume is profusely illustrated with
over 100 engravings by the first artists, which
are really beautiful i; worthy of examination
as specimens of the art. The book S con-
tents include "reminiscences of camp, picket,
spy, scout, bivouac, siege and battlefield ad-
ventures; thrilling feats of bravery, wit,
drollery, comical and ludicTous adventures,
ETC., etc.
Amusement as well as instruction may be
found in every page, as graphic detail bril-
liant wit, and authentic history, are skillful-
ly interviewer in this work of literary art.
1t is just such volume as will find nu-
merous purchasers, and just such one as
persons seeking to act as book-agents should
add to their list.
