Danger of Disunion. A lare portion of the people of the country re thoroughly misled lf a feir dennue3 andn few fanatics, who have been teaching them that slavery u the sole cause of disunion, and that if we destroy aUverv the Und will hive no oilier caue of disagreement. The idea i not only false in theory but proved lalse by history. The dan-er ot disunion cornea from radicalism. Radical viewa adopted in anT section of the country will inevitably result in difficulties between sections. Nor w slavery by any means the ouly sutject on which radical views are pos'ible. The history of our own time ought to prove the contrary. There are plenty of men among us. who remember the threats of dissolution from other parts of the country ttiau the South -threats carried almost into practical execution. lt is worth Ui'.e to recall some passages out or bistort. They may do good in the way of convincing people th t after we have destroyed slavery the milleiiium is not jet at hand, and if we wish to preserve the Union we must still watch the radical men of Massachusetts as well as those of South Carolina, to be sure of keeping the country from chronic attacks of threatened dissolution. For as lonz as we have among ns such men n the fire eaters of Massachusetts and of South Carolina, just so loti we shall have attempts at dissolution of Uie Union whenever their tender consciences or their pockets are afTected bv the national policy. Just as looe as sectional radicals refuse to adopt the doctrine of compromise for the unity of a great nation like this.just so long we hall have threats ot disunion and attempts at it - In the year 1H)9 the people of Boston, Mass.icV.usett. and New England general ly, were serl ously erera-ed on national questions. Slavery had nothing to do with it. On the contrary, up to the year 1808 an immense fleet of New England Tenets hnd been actively engaged in the slave trade, and the people of Rhode Island and Massachusetts;, In 1803, were dividing the enor v dious profiU thev had realized iu that business, which was started by their Puritan rathers in the 17th century, and stopped in the 19th century by : the votes of Virginia, and other States less interested in the traffic than the New Engländers.. The cause of the mental exercise to which we dow allude was the action of the General Government in esublishiiii the embargo. It is not necessary to discuss the reason lor this action. Enough that the United States ordered it, and the New England people did not like it. We give now some facta from history, without much comment. : '.t,' ;"4- , The inhabitant of Boston memorialized their Swa.-LewUtur, January ,iih.USU3They held a town meeting, and -there was as much treason then talked in Boston as there was in South Carolina when - Anderson was gallantly defending Sumter. The following is an extract from the memorial of the town ol Boston to the Legislature of Massachusetts, adopted In that town meeting: "That they are constrained to apply to jour honorable body as the immediate guardians of their rights ami liberties, for your interposition to procure lor them relief from tiie grievances which they now suffer, under the operntion-of the laws of the general government abolishing foreign commerce, ic. Our hope aud consolation re-t with the Legislature of our State, to whom it is competent to devise means of relief against the unconstitutional measures of the general government; that jour poaer is adequate to this object is evident from the organization of the Confederacy." The town of-Gloucester resolvealJanuary 12, 1Ü09: "That to our State government we look for counsel, protection and relief at this awful period of general calamity." In Newburvport, handbills were posted calling

on the people to be resolute, act like the sons of liberty, or God and your country, rxerveyour arms with vengeance against the despot (Jefferson.) kc." The Boston Centinel siid: "Every man will presume that he is not bound to regard it (the embargo;) but may send his produce or merchandise to a foreign market in the same manner as if the government had never undertaken to prohibit it." The Boston Oazette spoke for disunion.- It Baid: "It Is better to suffer the amputation of a limb than to lose the whole body. We must prepare lor the operation. Wherefore then is New England asleep? Where lore does she submit to the oppression of enemies in the South? llave we eo Moses who is inspired by the God of our fathers and will lead us out of Egypt?'' We cite these few specimens to show young men and new politicians of our day a page of history which perhaps they have never opened. If they will go back to the newspapers and pamphlet of that time they will Cud hundreds and thousands of such specimens as these extracts we have made. The hatred to the gorernment and the coming war continued and Increased in New England. We pass on to the time when the war became a fixet fact. So inten. wns the enmity that men were prevented from subscribing to loans for government purposes, and the agents had to advertise that they would receive private bids and keep the names of subscribers ?ecret! f Advertisement from tbe Bston Chronicle of April 14, 1814-1 ' "THE SIW LOAN. "From the advice of several respected friends we are induced to announce to the public that subscriptions to the new loan will be received by us as agents until the 25; h ir.ft , from individuals or incorporated bodies, in sums of $5tst) and upwards. Applications will be received from any persons who wish to receive their interest in Boston by letters post paid, or by written applications from individuals iu Boston, and the names of all subscribers shall be known only to the undersigned.

The amount, rate and name of any applicint shall at his rennest, be ko two only to the subscriber. Jesse Pctxam. The Boston Gazi-.te of April 14, iu which the last advertisement appeared, thus remarked on tbe war: ''How degraded must our govercment be, even id their own ;yes, when they resort to such tricks to obtain money which a comm m Jew broker would be ashamed of. - They know right well tiat the cause is so sneaking aud vile that nobody would be jeen in the broad day light to lend them money. Terhaps moneyed men may be bribed by the high interest that is offered, but if they withhold their aid and so force the government iuto a peace, will not their capital be better employed, if employed in trade? On the whole we think it no way to get cut of the war, to give money to government when the very thing that prevents them from carrying it on is the want of money. "It is very grateful to find thnt the universal sentiment is, that any man who lends his money to the government at the present time will forfeit all claim to common honesty and common course v among all true lrirnds of the country." - Sympathizer with these sentiments existed el-tewhere, of course. Thus we find that about that date the Mew York Evening Pot said one day: "We hive only room this evening to say that we trut no true friend to this country will he found among the subscribers to the Galla tin War." There were clergvmen, not a few, who lent pu!pit aid to the faction who opposed govern mem. Rev. Mr. Gardiner, rector of Trinity Church. Boston, preached, July 23, 1812, a sermon, in which he s id: "Let no considerations whatever, my brethren, -dr yo at all times aod in all places from eiewriting the present war. ' As Mr. Midiiou his declared war, let Mr. Madison . carry it on. , . The Uitiou has been long since virtually dissolved, and it is full kd that this part of the Dwooited 6utboald take care of itself."'- - - Rev. Dr. Opood preached, April 8, 1810, a sermon, iu which be taid:" Jf at the command of weak and wicked rulers they undertake an unjust war, each man who volunteers bis services in such a cause, or loans his money for its support, or by bis conversation, hU writings, or in any other mode of influence encourages iu prosecution, that roan is .an accomplice in rrs - wickeduess, loads his conscience w ill the blackest of crime, bring the guilt of blood upon his soul, and iu the si ,4 lit of God is a murderer. ' " ' One hop only remains, that this stroke of perfidy will open the eyes of a besotted people, that they may awake as a giant from his slumbers and wreak their vengeance on their betrayers br driving them from their stations, ami placing; at the helm A more skillful and faithful hands. If at the present moment no evmptoms of civil war afpear, they certainly will poon, unless tbe courage of the war party should fail them." .

Rev. Dr. Parish, at Btfifld, Ait 7th, 1814,

preached thus: "The Isruelites became weary or yielding the fruit of their labor to pamper their splendid tyrauU. Thev left iheir politicat woes. They separated. Where 1 our Moses? . here Is the rod of his miracles? Tyrant are the aame 011 the backs of the Nile and tbe Potomte, at Memphis and at Washington. Here we must trample upon the mandates of despotism, or here we must remain laves forever. Let every man wno sanctions this war by his suffrages or his influence remember th a he is laboring to cover himself and his country with brood The blood or the slain will cry from the ground against him. - How will the supporters 01 this anti Christian war endure their netttenee. -etdtr tbe fire that forever burns, the worm which nevt at TT a er dies the nosaDuans ot ueaven, wnue me moke of their torment ascends forever und ever!'" We might continue these extracts from history at great length, but these are enrich . It is not slavery which is the only cause or sectional disturbance, tending to disunion. .We are not sure of a permanent Union by removing that one cause. 2ay, more, we endanger the whole fabric bv adopting the doctrine that where one section differs from another on a subject of local or sec tional opiuion. the remedy is to remove the sub jectot difference. Such a doctrine will lead us nto future difficulty and danger of disunion ten times in every ceutury. Is Massachusetts ready to guarantee that she will never, for any cause, renew the scenes of 180U-14? Can any man tell us that a majority of the people nvay not, before long, attempt to compel New Eugjand to reform some of her habits and customs? Who will say that no apple of discord will ever fall Into the midst of this family? The cause of disunion is sectional feeling against sectional feeling. The safeguard against it is, teaching the people the necessity of compromise! as the only method of uniting States. If we understand and practice Ibis doctrine, if we return to it now, we shall have a Union stronger than ever. If we make a Union on anv other principle, it will not out last the lives of men who are now descending the hill of lue. N. Y- Journal of Commerce. From the Kew York Journal of Commerce. 1 The itleral foaliton Let us, u it be possible, nti-l a point ol new which is free from the mists aud clouds caused by party spirit, faction and fanaticism, aud endeavor to see the condition of our unhappy country with clear eyes. Is it not possible lor Americans to take such a stand? Ur are we so enveloped in the vena ot our own ana otner meti s passions that a view such as we propose is impossible? U e begau this war with a purpose, w e are prosecuting it with a turpose. If the present purpose be the same with which we begau it, it will not be diUK'uit to measure tue progress we hare made, but if it has been changed we shall nnd that measure more ditncuit. uur govern ment is one of moral as well as physical forces We began the war to preserve the government of the United but es as a unit, and to establish the power of the laws under the Constitution in each and every portion of the country 1 o this ef fect we placed a grand system in operation, neith er more nor less than the exertion of every con stitutional power which the nation possessed, for the purpose of suppressing the great rebellion which threatened the existence of the Constitu tion and defied tbe laws. That rebellion was greater and more extensive than anv but some l".tr-?ecing Democrats had believed it would be. It is impossible to deny to the leading members of that party a clear prophetic vision of the future, or tt doubt that the view of the opposite party was imperfect, aud, in fact, v. holly deceived. 1 he pioof of this statement n to be found m single glance at the speeches of Democratic statesmen and the articles of Democratic editors in the year 1860. They foretold not only secession, but the whole length amTbreadih o( the war which would ensue, and they warned the countrv to be prepared for it. Ou the other hand, the opposite party regarded these predictions as electioneennz incss, laugneu at tne mea 01 war or disunion, and many excellent aud patriotic men usually recognised as among the most careful and clear-sighted in the country, foretold pros perity, peace, success, and all the financial and political blessings attendant on peace and pros perity, as the result of the triumph ri the (then opposition party. We recall these facta now, not to justify or fiud fault with one or the other par ty, but in order to obtain a stand-point, or start ing point in our estimate. It is important that we look at the facts, and remember that up to tbe time of the war one party insisted ou using only moral means of preserving unity, and the otber party denied that there was anv danger o disunion. This truth is of great value in mea unng the progress the nation has made. The question is not alone whether we are conquering rebellion. It 1a whether we are preserving the American system of government a vs. tern of unitv sustained, at least in part, aa ail must ad mit, by moral forces which are vitally im porta n to its existence.. In examining our present condition it is not necessary to ask what parfj or party principle caused the war. V e must view it as one in whi'-h we are now engaged; not as the work of ooe party, not as the result of one set of meas ures, but as the deliberate choice of the nation n baterer may be the truth as to the real rcspou siouiiy 01 trie collision, wue.ner Uemocrats are right in charging it on Republicans, or Kepubli cans charging it on Democrats, we cannot forget mat wnen the war became a terrible fact, when the thunder of the guns of Sumter died away on that memorable morning, the winde country, 0 ad political- parties, sprang to the war rrr, and as one mii assumed the dread responsibility Democrats cannot escape thit responsibility llad they refused to unite with the new Administration in going to battle, had one half of the people of the North then refused to take part in the contest, there would have been no war, fney did not refuse. Both parties assumed all the responsibility." It is then useless to discuss who was responsible for the beginning until we see the way to an end. When that end is reach ed, it may and will be the duty of the people to determine the question what caused the war, so that a recurrence ot such a terrible calamity may L ' I 1 - . I r ...... - oe avoiopti in mt niiure. uut it is the wi-e course now to listen to both parties, and endeavor to save the Union by whatever of good either proposes. The people united on the principle that the war was one of justice, for the preservation of the Union. They had but oue thought, or if any men then looked forward to a change in the object of the contest, such persons were no less traitors than the man who fired on Fort Sumter The political duty of the citizen, ns-well as the moral duty of members of different parties to each other, was then a frank, hearty, open onion for the Union. That is duty now. No man had a right to plot the using of the uprising of the people for any change in the form or principle: of our government, or to plan a diversion of the war Irom its one simple ooject. It was a momen of danger not onlj from the enemy iu arms, but from the very nature of our gorernment; and so great was the dancer, that if any man in tha hour was forming plans for changing the funda mental principle of the Union, whether he was Northern or Southern, pro slavery or anti-sl.t very. Republican or Democrat, he was at heart a traitor, and deserved a traitor's punishment. We do not say that there were such men. I. may be time before Ion: to inquire whether there were any such. We can afford to let that inquiry res for the present. Btit when we compare the present condition o the North with the condition in the summer o lcbl, we cannot fail tobe impressed with th truth that a great and most important change has taiceu place. 1 he people are tio longer united a then. Nor is tbe dirisiou so small a thing a some would nave us think. -1 he truth is not to bt blinkol, that just about one half of the pcodI are totally, absolutely, at variance with the other hilf. And when we come to examine the points of amerence, the line winch is drawn between th two, we find that it is a difference arising out o new questions, which did not exist in 16G1. Re turning to the position occupied by men of all parties in the spring of 1Ö61, w find do such subjects of disunion raised.no questions agitating tne ptiuiic mina except the one great question shall the Loiistitutiun be sustained against armed opposition. To day we find the war substantially siipportei ny an men as then, but a division I in is drawn a mom the supporters, which is dail widening and becoming more straight and sharply defined, on each side of which we find arrayed hosts of men professing putiiotism, loveof Union hatred of rebellion, and determination (o sustain the Government of the United States against all its enemies, while bitterness nnd hatred toward each other also mark both parties. II who attempts to estimate the future pro: pects of tbe country aithout taking this division into acount, fails wholly In his view. Whatever be the present condition of military affairs, liowever successful lh arms of the Union may be over the arms f the rebellion, it is impossible to shut out of view the Important truth, which this Northern division makes manifest, that other qnestions than those of power and force, other considerations than thoae- of military success, are presented, in the immediate future of our country. The thoughtless or Impatient man may sweep out oi Lis view this great division vt the

people, the passionate man may close bis eyes to it or dispose of it with a threat to treat Northern traitors ou either side as we treat Souther traitors, but there stands the great fact, like a rock, that the people of the North are divided on questions which have arisen since the war began, questious which all concede to be of vital import, and that millions of men are on opposite U.'C. It used tobe acknowledged everywhere that, the moral fotces in this country were of the highest importance that moral union was vastly

I stronger than physical union, in oir government. t is as true to day aa ever. . It never was so . true. In hours like these, moral onion u of - astly more importance than 'ever before. In times of peace the nation is little shaken br the occurrence of elections resulting in the auccessof. one or another party by a small majority. In' times of war these differences become of vast imriort, big with national fate. Why close our ves to ttiis truth? The war alone U not to de terroine the fate of the Union. The results of the war are after all to be determined by the voice of the people, in the old way I f the South is conquered, the millions of the South will be come a voting power in the country. All plans to keep them out will inevitably fail before many years. lue American system may stand toe shock of war, but it could never stand the trial of n attempt to govern millions of men for any length of time unrepresented, as a conquered or as a condemned race. 1 hat truth ought to be in our constant view. It must be considered in esti mating the progress of the nation. To what are e progressing? How far do the moral forces of the American system begin to operate? In what direction are they operating? When shall we be again a people determining our great questions by peaceable votes, and what are i kely to be the constituent elements of parties, and the bids for votes which one and another party will make? s the theory of conquest, and forcible govern ment of a vast population, tenable in view of tbe tremendous truth that oue half of the people, of the North are opposed to that theory, and have refuzed to give assent to it by word or act? 1 he theory on which the war began was the simple enforcement of the laws. The fact that millions were in rebellion was recognized, and the plan was simply to convince those millions that rebellion was hopeless, that submission to aw was necessary, aud that the only proper American method of settling great questions was by, the billot, box. , If that theory had been steadily pursued, the result might have been ih;;t the millions in rebellion would have seen that their military experiment was hopeless, and that the other, the ancient and assured resort for real or fancied wrongs, was open to them. The new theory, that may be conquered and governed, their laws and institutions assigned them by the power against which they have repelled, is now under experiment, and in looking at the probable success of this theory we must take into our ac count the whole history of political parties in our Ucountry, the fact that there is an immense voting population in the rebel States, and (hat those votes will inevitably be sought by one or another party in the future. Let us then not fail to give consideration to these questions of moral force, as possessing the highest importance in consider uh our future. If we look at the war as the one bsorbing subject, military success as the sole necessity to uational success, we omit the very fundamental question in our whole system on h'ch our future rests. A Plea for Peace. Every one knows that the Springfield (Mass.) Republican is one of the ablest and most influ enttal supporters of the Administration of New England. As a sigri'ficant symptom of return ing reason the part of some of the Republicans, the following article is, we conceive, of sufficient importance to justify its publication in full. If our reader will make it a poiut of showing it to their friends who are, from mistaken but patri otic motives, sustaing tbe Administration, it may do much good. Says the Republican: Siuce wiuter suspends operations, why cannot this time be employed to mke peace! Virtually it is an armistice: though not ha vir g been so declare-!, the Government and the Deonla make no use of it. On our side we should at once commence the discussion of reconstruction; and on the rebel side the pent up feeling against the Richmond dynasty, that has been growing t .in er am rt rmiBAAii n ..a ri ( lim!, ilnf .1. - I k. f" oiiviif,.! iu ivu.-?iuc;iii.c vi fclicir lcicfcs ill 1CUO(m llf- l . . , . 1 . ... . wouiu uiiu vent; ami tney, too, would talk about their future condition. Reconstructionists like those of North Carolina and Georgia would speak, and a fuller announcement of loyal eenttmeuts would be made in three months than we have had in three years of war. It would be the death of rebellion; and it would produce a revolution in public seutiment here. When Charles II. returned to England to be received with gladness, he said he would have come back years before, had he understood tbe sentiment of the nation. As long as men stand with arms in their hands or in hostile attitude, they fear and hate each other; but when they speak, and look into each other's eyes, if reason is not overcome by madness, they may be friends. Ail that is needed fur the restoration of the Union since the people ou both sides are tired of war is that the parties should speak to each other. There would hare been do rebellion if we had known each other better and the war could not coutinue if now we could come to that knowledge. The South acted on its fears, which were groundless. If they could have seen the facts us the were, that three. in four at least Tjf all the people designed them no harm, but would Jiave shed their blood to defend the rights of South Carolina, Georgi t and Mississippi as quick as of Massachusetts, New York and' Michigan, they would never have lifted an arm in rebellion. They were deluded and cheated. They conjured up a phhtiusm a devil and gave therrselves to its direction; and like S'mdbad carrying the Old Man of the Sea, they will be slaves to that deception till they rid themselves of thebuiden aud lift themselves to the light. If we have not been as much deceived, it is very evident that many of our people are laboring under erroneous impressions. Hence comes the universal denunciation; the assumption that every man iu the South is an enemy to the North, the affirmation of Wendell Phillips" that there is no loyal man in the South who has not a black tkin; aud the resolutions and dispositions of the half insane radicals in Congress that the war should be lor conquest, subversion of all lormer institutions, the subjugation of the while race, the raising to an equality with ourselves the African population, the abolition of the States, aud forcing upon a million square miles of territory and six millions of people the ideas, opinions and modes of life that belong to New England, and which cau be done just as easy, and n more so, as England can implant her civilization and re ligion on Ireland. We give it as our opinion that we labor under a delusion; and if the people of the South can ever speak we shall fii.d that we have been fighting against a majority in those States who have been overcome and held in sub jection aud led to tbe battle-field by the armed traitors, wnue they desired more than the perpetuation of the Union .dnd the Constitution their fathers gave them. As long as this is an actual conflict of nrtna we must war uion all engaged in it We cannot inquire how they came to be in battle ngainsl the government; but we hsve the duty of destroying all who are so arrayod But victories over the rebels gaiued by the uprising of the Southern people would be of much more value in restoring the Union than victories in the field; ana thev would obviate the necessity ot more bloodshed To this we hope to see it come at last a party In rebellion against the re bei lion; and that we'shall see," whenever the people there dare to discuss the question. The reisoa why there can be no suspension of arms and no consideration with the people of measures looking to re union and peace, is im ply this that the Radicals will not permit it. Jeff Davis and bis friends are contending for Independence; they will not admit the idet of reunion. They would rather lose ten battles than have one State like North Carolina hold a convention lo consider that subject: for every word spoken would be more disastrous to them than a bullet from a loyal rifle They have staked all, and will die rather than submit. So on oursido we have a party that are fighting for eman cipation. It m all they care about. They have no desire to see a restoration of the Government more than Jeff Davis has. They do not hesitate to declare everywhere and in the moat open manner that they prefer disunion (0 the olu Uulon, with the Constitution as it now is. And this they term loyalty, and denounce restorationists as traitors. Strange enough they make a large part of the people believe that it is treason, and there are very few public men in the country who dare to discuss farther than the parties will permit them the question of restoring the Union as it was established by the Uthera of 177G, and understood by Jefferson, Madison, Andrew Jackson, and John Quincy Adams. , While, therefore, the Jeff Da via party rules the South, there can be no peace, 00 approach to peace, as there can be no cessation of war, and while the Garrison and l'hillips ineu control the popular cur rent of the North, there can b nothing but such measures n3 will be resisted at the South so long as a man can be bad; and in the end, if they rule in that end, they will Dot restore the Union, but give is conquered country to be held as1 Russia holds Poland, and Austria holds Hungary.

OF THE rrT vr 1 CT i rp"P CPTTTTT?T lMUAJN A MAIL lLiLlM DAILY AM D WEEKLY For lOQ-4. At no period ia tbe history of the nation has It been more Important tbat tbe peopl abauld b adrfated of tha principle upon which our Government Is based and tae bearing of passing events npoa our polical loiUtntions. We ara In the midst of a revolution, and the effort Is be- -Ing made to overthrow tie Government establiftaed by the wUdom, sagacity and patriotism of Washington, Jefferson, Madison and their aaaociates, and establish In Its stead a strong, OTenhadowing and centralized des potism. State rights, which have protected, th liberty of tb citizen, are to be struck down; State lines are to bo obliterated and the Federal Government is to usurp the control and direction of the domeUc 'policy and insti tution of th States. This is the policy of tbe Adminis- ' tration party. Its leading members boldly proclaim U, and the events which have transpired since tbe advent of tha present Administration into power clearly fore shadow that such is iu purpose. Such is th Issu presented to the American people. It is for them to illustrate th capacity of man for selfgovernment, by insisting on a government of the people. Jost aa oar forefathers did, in opposition to an aristo-: ratic, arbitrary and kingly power. S long hav we pros. pered and vnjoyed the blessings of civil and religions reedom, that we fail to appreciate their value and have almost forgotten the sacrifices by which they were achieved. Power is ever stealing from tbe many to the few, and unless the people boldly and manfully meet tha present crisis ere lung the government of the many will become the government ot the few, and instead of being tbe atylnm for the oppressed af all nations, onr own will become as oppressive with its orders and burdens as the most despotic. The Skntuiel will continue to advocate ol J fashioned Democratic doctrines, believing firmly that tbwoolr hope of preserving Republican institutions rests on their su premacy in the administration of the government. These doctrines are clearly and comprehensively set forth in the following platform prepared by Thomaa Jefferson, the founder of the Democratic party: Equal an t exact lustice to all men, of whatever state or persuasion religioua or political ; - . Peace, commerce, and honest friendship with all nations, entangling alliance with none ; The support or the State uovernments in an toetr rights, as th moot competent administration for onr do mestic concerns and the surest bulwark against anti-re publican tendencies. Tne preservation . ot tne general government m its wool constitutional Vor. a tbe sheet anchor of our peace at home and safety abroad ; A jealous care 01 tue right 01 election ry tu people ; A mild and safe corrective of abuses which are lopped by the sworuof revolution, where peaceful remedies are unprovided. Absolute acquiescence in tbe will ot toe majority, ID vital principle of republic, from which there is no appeal but to force tue vital principle ana immediate parent or depoti.-Tn : A well disciplined militia, our best reliance in peace, aud for the firot moments f war, till regulars may re lievo them. Tbe supremacy of tbe civil over tbe military author ity. Economy In the public expent-es, tbat labor may be lightly burdeneo; Tbe honest payments ol our debts, and sacred preservation of the public faitb; Encouragement 01 agriculture, ami or commerce as lis haiidniaid. Ihe diffusion of Information, and arraignment of all abuses at the bar or publie reason; r reedom or relieion; FREEDOM OF THE PRESS : ANO FREEDOM OF PERSON UXDER THE PROTEC TION OF THK HABEAS CORPUS; This is a platform upon which every Democrat and every citizen can stand, and if a free government the Constitution and Union as framed by the founders of the Republic U preserved, it will only be by the successful ascendency of tbo-e principles ia its administration. If they are maintained the voice of tbe people will control iu public affairs, and da blessings of civil liberty will be preserved and perpetuated. It is a time the people bould read. The whole world is in commotion, aud revolutions threaten ether nations as well a our own Toe Sbxtiskl will give a snmmay of all general news, and it will be the aim of the publishers to make it a valuable and interesting newspaper in every department. It will pay special attention to State affairs, and, as the central organ of tbe Democratic psrty of Indiana, will use every effort te sustain its prin ciples, its policy and Its representative men. It will not be an instrument to advance the selfish interests of cliques, factions or Individual. In no way can sound principles be better disseminated than through the agency of Democratic newspapers and Democratic docu ments. AndDetnocraU cannot better serve their cause than by placing a Democratic newspaper in the hands of every family in tbe State. The prejudices ot our political opponents would soon give way If they were enlightened as to tbe doctrines and purposes of the Democratic party. Notwithstanding the large increase of the expenses attending tbe publication of newspapeis, the terms of the Skktixbl will be the time as heretofore, and as we have no paid agcuts, we hall re!y upon friends t' aid in ex tending it circulation.

I also recommend the Powder as being a fine thing for the urine, and also to improve the coat, a it gives it a fine, silky appearance. .

Ia the lists, published almost daily in the new-aprs, oa tbe arrival of the sick, it will be noticed tbst a very large proportion are suffering from debility. Every case of that kind ran be readily cured by Hoofland's German Bitters. lHseases resulting from disorder of the digestive organs are spce lily removed.- We have no hesitation in stating that, if these Piters were freely med among oar soldiers, hndred of lives might be saved tbat otherwise will be lost. W call particular attention to tbe following remarkable and well authenticated e-rt of one of the nation's heroes, whose-lite, te ase bis cwa language, "ha been saved by th Bitters." l'muwmiu, August 23, 1863.

It is vouched for by awmbera of any cowadrs, some of whose names ere appended, and who were fully cognizant of all the circumstance of aiy case. I am, and have been for tbe last four ears, a member of Sherman's celebrated battery, and ander th Immediate command of CapL IL B. Ayre. Through theexpowra attendant upon my arduous dut, I was attacked ia November last with iiiliammalionevf the lung, and was fur 72 days in the hospital. This was followed by great debility. Lightened by an attack of dysentery. I waa the removed from the White House, and sent to this city ea board the steamer State of AUine, front wLtch I landed on the 2sth of June. Since that time I have been about a low as any one could be and still retain a spark of vitality. For a week'or more I was scarce'y able te swallow B" thin p, and if I did force a morsel down, it was Immediately thrown up again. I could not even keep a class of water on my stomach. Life could not last under these circumstances; and ac f ordinjrly th physiciau w ho hai been working faithfully, though unsuccessfully, to rescue mefrom th grasp of th dread archer, ftwnkly told an they could do more for me, aud advised me to see a clergyman, and te make such disposition of my limited funds as best suited An acquaintance who vti.d me at tbe hospital, Mr. Frederick Slephenbron, of Sixth below Arch street, advised me, aa a forlorn hope, te- try your Bitter, and kindly procund a bottle. Fit-m the time I commenced taking them the gloomy thadow of death receded. nd I am now. thank God for it. setting betler. Tboork I kav taken but two bottles, 1 have gained ten Bu4a, and I feel sanguine of being permitted to rejoin my wife and daughter, from whoir I have heard noihinr for eighteen months; for, gentlemen, I am a loyal Virginian, from the vicinity of Front Royal.
