AT THEIR OLD TRIcKs-For several
years before the rebellion, many northern
democratic editors used to amuse them
selves, disgust sensible rneu and frighten the
ignorant people Of the south by telling, week
after week cock andbul' stories of the
bloody intentions of the Republican party.
They insisted that the Republican party was
bent upon deprivipg their southern hreth-
rem of their rights and property-of robbing
them of their most cherished institution
to wit--slavery- with all its numberless
joys and blessings. They constantly assured
the south, that in case the republican party
should get majority in Congress and elect
a President they would have nothing left,
persistently was this y ing policy persevered
in that the southern people came to believe
it, and it was finally the most potent cause
of the rebellion, with its five years of war,
bIoodshed and all the concomitant horrors
of internecine strife.
Still, northern democracy is not satisfied
Nothing would give it more joy than to see
the war renewed, and so northern democracy
is not satisfied. Nothing would give it more
! Joy than to see the war renewed, and Sc
northern democratic editors have com
menced on the old strain. They would fair
'cry havoc, and let loose the dogs of War;
| We regret to see the eminently christian
editor of the Kenosha Union enter upon thi
reprehensibe course.
| In his last weeks paper, speaking of the
doings Of Con gress he says:
| ''Gen. Paine moved to suspend the rules, that h
might introduce resolution of thanks to Sheridan
! for the able manner in which he overturned stat
govern ments and constitutions, and trampled upol
| the rights OF the people-granted and resolution
| passed.
The christian editor of the Union when h
wrote that, knew he was penuing an un
mitigated falsehood-knew he was-bearins
false witness against his neighbor-and t,
what end Simply that he might add hi
| little dribet to the combined influence Of
the northern democratic press towards keep
ing alive the uneasiness, the doubt, the dreat
of something underlined, in the southern
mind that may perchauce in time culminat
III another ebelion-another civil war
Fortunately the people of the southern state
have taken some lessons in the school O
experience, that will serve them a gooc
turn in the future. They have learned tina
a party founded upon the principle of justice
to all-equality to all before the law-can
not be the ''raw head and bloody bones
that they have been made to believe. Ant
more than all, they have learned that how
ever valiant and determined their northern
democratic friends may be in urging then
into scrape, they are nowhere, when i
comes to helping them out of that scrape
All the Leading rebels who have writer
or spoken upon the question lately, say tina
they went into the rebellion under false i'm
pressions, that if they had known then VIVA
they have since learned, they could never
have been coaxed or driven into rebellion

A FaIEyDLY GAME Of base ball was played
last evening, on the grounds near the Arsenal,
between the Athletics and picked nine from
the Sycamore, Portland, and other defunct
clubs which went out of existence before the
revival of the national game. The veterans
went to the bat and were handsomely choked
on their first inning. By great exertions they
succeeded in getting the Athletics out with
only one run. On the second inning the vet
Grams scored four; but the Athletics followed
with 8, which so far discouraged their oppo-
nents that they added only one to their score
in the third inning, and went to the field en-
tirely demoralized. The playing after this was
exceedingly amusing The short stop and first
base invented new method of stopping fly
ball, to wit, by turning round and receiving it
in the rear. The captain incessantly urged
the fielders to catch the ball in their hats; but
these gentlemen preferred to wait until the
ball had passed them, and then follow it up
quietly from behind. The best play, however,
was made by Anderson, on the third base,
where, after an awful over throw, he seized the
Athletic runner and held him till the ball was
recovered! Only three innings were played
The following is the score:

called to preside.
Mr.. Shurtleff, from the Committee upon an
excursion over the Portland & Rochester Rail-

the present. Report accepted.
Two gentlemen were proposed for member
ship.
Hon. S. E. Spring mentioned the contem-
plated visit, next week, of gentlemen from
Northern New York, Vermont and New
Hampshire. and remarked that they should be
received in the most generous manner. For
this purpose he would move the appointment

a committee, who should make all the arrange
merts necessary for proper reception of our
expected guests. The motion was adopted,
and Messrs. s. E. Spring, Israel Washourn,
Jr., and II. b. Kurdish were appointed said
committee to report Committee of Arrange

Subsequently Mr.. Spring, from the commit.

Collector Washburn made some remarks
upon the importance of the proposed route to
Ogdensburg, and stated that the gentlemen
who intend visiting Portland would, probably
arrive by Wednesday next.
Hon. j. B. Brown spoke of the enthusiasm

the kindness and enthusiasm manifested by
the Board of Trade, city authorities and peo'
pie of Oswego to the delegation from this city
that visited that locality short time since.
Open that route said Mr.. Brown, and the
wholesale business of this city will be largely
increased. If our citizens can see the vast i'm

zeal than they did of the Atlantic & st. Law.

ADAMS AND DIsRAELI-The London CORE s.
pondent of the New York Times, referring to a
speech recently made by Mr.. Disraeli at the
Merchant Tailors' School, relates the follow
ing: -
An incident took place on that occasion very
interesting to Americans, but which did not
appear, as far as could see, in any of the Eng
fish papers. Mr.. Disraeli in that extraordina-
~ speech said, among other things, almost in
the words Of his great speech on Reform in
1859, that American politics were no guide to
English politics. America" he said, was q
colony, and had no great national traditions to
keep her straight as we have; and then, of
course, she had boundless lands, &c., &c."-
What he said in 1859 did not matter much, but
on this occasion Mr.. Adams, your Minister,
was sitting opposite to him. Mr.. Disraeli de-
clares in private that he never saw him. Be
this as it may, Mr.. Adams got up and with
much dignity but evident annoyance said, that
''if America was colony, then she had the
traditions of the mother country. But if she
was not colony, but great nation, she had
the traditions Of her founders, and her found
ers were Englishmen who left England be-
cause they were dissatisfied with English in
situations" Mr.. Disraali suddenly got a rap
he did not expect, and it must be confessed
that Mr.. Adams upholds the dignity of the
United States with singular moderation and
hrmness.
