There are thousands, if not a majority, of
the adherents of the 8th-of-January party
ho are as resoluteiy opposed to the sur
surrender of the Government to the rebels,
or the recognition of their mushroom Con-
federacy, as eny of the professed Union
men, They do not wsnt tie Government
instituted by Washington, to be superctded
by that of jeff. Davis, or BUNDLED by the
defeat of its armies, or the prostration of its
credit They are as truly patriotic, and as
6smly fixed in the purpose to sustain the
Government in all that relates to the con-
duet Of the war, as any men in the country.
Bnt they believe that they can do this just
as well in the Democratic party and while
opposing the civil policy of the Admins
lration, as not. They don't like to give up
til name of Democrat, or abandon party

party organized in direct opposition to
the Administration during a war, will drift
into hostility to the war, and do not believe
it will. Hence they cling to the remnant
of the Democratic party. Why can't
they be Democrats aud patriots tooP is
their not unreasonable reply to the sugges-



present, ought to be abandoned.


To such men we desire to present few
facts to show them that while they mean to
be genuine patriots, and firm supporters of
the cause of the Government, those who
lead them, select their party positions, de-
clare its views, ard direct its course, mean
something very different. And adberiug
to the party, following the name of "Demo-

party with the same unthinking devotion
as in time Of peace, they will surely be
brought to any position their lsaders desire
to give them. We wish them TO stop and
think what the facts We present mean, to
what they lead, before resolving to go with
such an embodiment of "Democracy" to the
end. If they do not want to be made sup.
porters and instruments to carry out the
policy indicated by these facts, they had
better stop now.


The Ser tinel of this city was endorsed
by the 8th-of, January Convention as just
exponent of the views of the party. 1t was
again endorsed in the secret circuIar of the
State Central Committee dated June Is,
1862, and signed by George McOuat, chair
man, in the following terms;


"The State Central Committee urge upon
you the importance of circulatig sound
Democratic newspapers. Your own county
paper, if you have one, and the central organ
of the party, the Indiana State Sentinel"


- The convention of the Sth of January,
1862, endorsed the Sentinel's course up to
that time, and the State Central Committee
endorsed and adopted it up to June 18th
In the Sentinel, therefore, we shall find an
authoritative declaration of the views of the
party. Let US trace them from the begin

A prominent Kentucky Unionists has
arrived here from New York, where he
had an interview with Dean Richmond
and other leading Democrats. The Ken
lucky Unionists was much amused with
Dean Richmond's comments upon the re-
cent election in that State Said he !:
"The South need not run away with the
idea that the war is going to stop be-
cause we have elected our candidate for
Governor. Whatever individuals have
said during the canvass, we democrats
do not mean peace and separation. We
know well enough that the State of New
York is for the prosecution Of the war
by an immense majority, and if the rebels
think otherwise, they are terribly mis-
taken"


"But how about the election of such
men as the Woods" asked the Kentuck-
ian, Really they are for stopping the
war ~


"Oh, we had to use this small class of
men-the Woods and their sympaihisers
to succeed. We could not have cleo
ted Seymour without them, and as we
needed their help, we had to pay them
for it, But the Woods do not represent
the Democrats of New York State, and
cannot speak for them in the councils OF
the nation"


The Kentucky gentlemen was much
relieved by this explanation of New
Democrat, for he had seriously feared
that the result of the recent election in
that State would be that the Empire
State would range herself against the

to contribute to the Relief Fund. Messrs.


Van Orden and Coushey are circulating n
subscription for that purpose. 1t should be

patriotic purposes that appeals to every one,

real excuse for man to say Il did not
bring on the war, and will have nothing to do
with it." Neither did the wounded and suf

were wounded while patriotically fighting for
their country and their flag, and are guilty of
no crime. 1t is simply contributing to the
relief of suffering humanity. Let US give ac-
cording TO our means, and be thankful that we
are enabled to give for the benefit of those who
arc suffering in the discharge OF their duty to
our common Government. Let those who are
opposed to the Republican party remember

Blake, when Cromwell had usurped the throne
OF England, " No matter into whose hands the
Government may fall, our duty is still to our
