ed Congress Saturday, and has Just
received Andrew JohLson's signature

ing the remainder Of the compound

LANCASTER WISCONSIN, TUESDAY, AUGUST l. 1863

spicious. The Democrats loved
"the treason" but as usual despised
the traitor. His success, in the cir,
cumstances, would have been bad
disaster TO the political morals Of the
country. AS the case now stands,
Mr.. Chase is warning to all after
corners. He has parted with his
principles, sold himselfto the enemy
and lost his price.
A defence of Mr. Chase is already
whispered. He merely ment TO pn>
rify the Democratic party He did
not mean to descend to its level, but
lift the party TO his.
He simply went in to reform it
On this theory folly is added to xmas
very. He attempts to deceive the
Democratic party to purify it of its
deception To defraud the party,
to make it more honest ! TO the
Democrats he says | am with you, l
stand on your platform. To his old
friends he says do no such thing,
but stand where | have stood thu rough
life. | am willing that the Demo-
cratic party shall come to me, but |
have no purpose to go to it. This
defence IS now worse than the crime
and is only the less hurtfnl because
its lying hypocrisy is open and
manifest to all.
Hereafter, let as here no more of
Mr.. Chase as the negro's candidate
or negroes friend. He is a deserter
from our ranks, in face ofthe euemy,
and is simply not in the enemy's
ranks because they despise and
spurned him. His degradation is
complete and he will have to live
longer than Chief Justice fancy if,
he outlives the memory Of this fla
grant transgression. In sorrow more
than anger, we part with him. His
crime, though great, has met an
equal punishment. Let us hope it
will prove salutary, if not to him, at
least to others who may be tempted
in like manner to betray their prin
ciplea.

AN ANALYSIS OF THE MODERN
DEMocRAT.-In recent address OF
Attorney General Ingersoll, of Hill
nois, before the Young Mems Re
publican Club, in Springfield, occurs
tho following sharp paragraph:
The Democratic party has declared
everything constitutional that he'll
ped the rebels, and everything un.
constitutional that hurt the Demo-
Gratis In thecommencement of the
war they said States have right 10
secede'-that the Southern States
were out of the Union. They said
this because they wanted to help the
rebels. No,o, they say that they had
no right to secede and that they are
in the Union, because they want the
rebels to help them. During the en-
tire war a Democrat with musk eft
was q rebel. and a rebel without a
musket was Democrat. The differ
ence was not in the mar but in the
mIsket

WYOMING TERRIroRY.-Congress
has passed the bill organizing the
Territory Of Wyoming, before mainly
forming part of Dacotah. Its
boundaries are as follows: Commenc.
at the intersection of the 9th merid.
iau of longitude west from Washing
ton, with the 10Th degree of north lat.
itude, and running thence west to tho
34th meridian of Longitude, then south
to the 41st degree of latitude, thence
east to the 9th meridian of longitude,
thence north to the place of begin
ming. This area includes corner from
Utah, SO that the southwest corner OF
the Territory is only sixty miles dis
tant from Salt Lake City. The west
ward progress of the Pacific Railroad
and the development of the rich
Sweetwater gold mines which lie
within the territory, now by reason OF
its remoteness from other settlements
virtually without any government,
should be organized in order that it's
population may have the protection
Of law.

were made at Stetson House, Long
Branch, on Tuesday last, that John
A. Grlswold would carry the State
of New York, and az contrajre.-
These bets were subsequently chang

the proposition that Grant would
carry the State of New York against
Seymour, and rice Uersa. We con-
slider the chances Of tie two proposi>

ave have no calls for the bets
which were proposed last week in
in these columns on Grant against
Seymour for the next Presidential
race, and we now offer the same
bets again, with the odds of three to
two on Grant. We do not offer
these bets as arguments, but simply
as speculation and we will simply
remark that several thousands Of dol

Frank Blair referred to in his letter as

their carpet>bags stuffed with COM

S@~A pettifogging lawyer and
manager in new settlement in
Wisconsin, gave a missionary of the
American Sunday School Union the
followingac account ola Sunday School,:
81 organized the first Sunday School
in this county, and run it myself
one season. We came in here early,
all Americans. We wanted to draw
ia decent. industrious families, and
keep out foreigners and rowdies.-
So | said "A Sunday School will
attract the people we want, and
keep out others. 1t will be the
cheapest way to blow for the settIe-
ment. There was not one of us
that pretended to have one grain OF
piety ; so they pitched upon me to
carry out the plan. | did so and
sent to your society and got libra
ry, and ran the school all summer
1t did the blowing for us splendidly
Before the Summer ended some chris
.tian families came in, and as they
had a better stock of piety, | gave
over the Sunday School in their
hands. It was grand thing for us.
There wasn't a foreigner Of any
sort ever stopped in the settlement
more than one night. We secur-
ed a good American and moral set
ment. In fact, it got to be so pious
that [ couldn't live there myself"

Spelling FOR A FIGHT.-From our
Southern exchanges we learn that
the campaign there is to be conduct
ed upon the Blair platform exclusive
ly. 'Let us have war;" says Blair
eve WILL" says the South 1--WE will, :"
says the Democracy. "Another war
will wipe out the national debt and
he Republican party. Therefore, lei
us have war" We think the country
will prefer Gen. Grant and his peace
platform.
WELL PUT-A shrewd Southern
editor says: "The popularity of
Seymour and Blair is something like
the fever and ague-it cannot be
found in any place where particular
inquiry is made for it. In the set
Elements, where the Shakes" are
supposed to have a Judgement, the
people inform inquirers that they do
not have them there, but the inhabit-
ants OF another place which they des
ignate have them lawfully"
