Those who realize that there is such a thisg as unselfih love of country will answer, no! but all cannot realize this fact.

In tho gloomy, hours after Manassas, and continually since, they have stood with hands ia their pockets crying " Abolitionists 1 " Abolitionists !" ringing in the ears of all patriots alike.

The causelessocss of their cry cannot be better shown than it is by their ablest brothor in the secession faith, W. L. YASCEr who, witb the other Southern Commission ers, Rost and Mann, appealed to Abolition England in behalf of the Confederacy, in the following terms: "The undersigned are also aware that tbe nti-slavery senUmeut so universally prevalent in England has shrunli from the de of forming fr.endly public relations with a Government recognizing; the slavery of a part of the human race. 'le question of tho morality of fcUvery it is cot tor the undersigned to discuss with any foreign power. The authors of tho American Declaration of Independence found the African race in the coloniea to be slaves, both by colonial and Knliah law, and by the law of nations. Those great and good men left that tact and the responsibility for iu existence where they found it. , The wisdom of that course is not a matter f for discussion with foreign nations. Suffice it to 6ay, that thus were the great American institutions framed, and thus have they remained unchanged to this day. It vat from no fear that the slaves tovuld be liberated that secession took place. The w party in power has proposed to guarantee star try tor ever tn the Mates f the South would but remain in the Union. Mr. Lincoln's message prepoacs fie freedom to the slave; but announces, the subjection of his owner to the wi l the Union in other words, to the will of tho North. ' Even after the battle of Bull Run both branches of the Congress at Washington passed resolutions that the war is only waged in order to uphold that (pro-Slavery) Constitution and to jen force the laws (many of them pro-Slavery) arid out of one huudredand seventy t aro votes in the lower House they received all but two and in the Senate all but one vote. As the army commenced its march tbe Commanding Gener al issued an order that no slaves should be received into, or allowed to follow the can. p. The great object of the war, therefore, as now officially announced, is not to free the slave but to keep him in subjection to his owner, and to control his labor through tbe legislative channels hio!i the Lincoln Government designs to force upon tbe master. The undersigned, theretore, submit with confidence that as far ai the ami Slavery sentiment of England is concerned, it can hare no sympathy with the North; nay, it will probably become disgusted .with a canting hypocrisy which would enlist these sympathies on false pretenses. . . . . While we believe tbe above statements were made in a demagogical spirit and for a purpose, yet they are in tbe main true, and should forever step any complaint if the necessities of the rebellion should cause the extinction of the curse of sla very; and especially should it eaase every man who does' not glory in the shame and crime of treason, to cease the foolish and causeless err of "Abolitionists! , ",..

B. L. Harris, proposed that the different Townships, hold meetings and instruct their member of tbe Ceutral Committee, as to their wishes. Both these suggestions were voted down. We did not learn whether the letter members, outriders and members proper,' all had a' voice ia determining thi3 matter or not. But Mr. Gorden withdraw from the Committee, and the minority of the Committee present and acting, passed the resolution,1; wbkh will be found in the proceedings, ! furbished us by the Secretary, D. M. Brad-j bury. :,.. . j We understand that an order wa3-. also passed, granting power to open pollswherever a Township Committee might deem it for the convenience of "the Republicans and Union men, anJ all who are in favor of a vigorous pro&ecution of tbe war" to cast their, votes for their candidates. , We have thus given all that was accomplished at this little Centervilie caoevs we' will not dignify it by tbe name of "Central County Committee," and the proceedings below give tbe balance, after undergoing a smoothing iron process, "from the Secretary outsider, who bad just as much business in that caucus, as Jim Elder, auJ who was the most active tut tnber of it! ITad the Committeee ail been present, or a majority, there would have been some plausibility cf dictating to the Republicans, when and in what manner they should choose their candidates; but even then its power, to so determine would be questiona ble, for the object for which the Committee was created Ziro years ago had been . accomplished, and its functions were dead. But this Uule-caaens, ignores Tbe party that created the Committee, under 1 whose cloak it acted, and throws open the j door to all parties, to help make a selection of candidates at the April election; the langftage of the resolution is: "the Republicans' and Union men, and all who are in fvor of a vigorous prosecution of the war." insisting that those who thus participate will 1 abide i by the selection thus made. Why, was this change made? Had tbe caucus ' become satisfied that tbe Repablican party. that two years ago created the Committee, ' was defunct, and could not select eaadi-! dates, withont Calling to their ' aid other ' "Union men and all who are in favor of a I

vigorous pmlecution orthe war?' If lhjt j were so.he more the necessity of calScg the j teople toeether, in order that they might

provide for thia new sta'e of political af fairs. . '"-. i. 'V.-" Viewing the action of the caucus, held at Centervilie on Saturday last, in every possible light, we arrive at no other conclusion than that its action is without binding force, and as completely and entirely farcical as any thing of so public a character that has ever before been tried to be palmed off on the people as official It purports to be tbe "Republican Committee," and yet ignores party action! The determination of the majjrity of that caucus including, cf course, those who were there bodily, by let.er, and by proxy. seems to have been to inaugurate a clear 'rack egain over the race-course of Oid Wayne, for George Washington Julian. With no other caudidatein the field, against him here, and before the balance of the District could possibly be consulted, or any one put upon the track in opposition, and who would have time to canvas the county, George's peculiar friends thought that the ides of April would be the day of his salvation and, if he could thus obtain the vote of Wayne County, it would give bim an advantage over any other man that could be brought out against him in other parts ct the District, and would go far to secure his re-nomination; hence their urgency of bringing on the Congressional nomination at (he same time with the selection of county candidates. We have neither lime nor room to enlarge further on the action of this caucus; suffice it for us to say, in the language of the ground-hog to the pole-cat, who visited the domicil of the former and claimed to be a ground hog too: It don't look like Republican action, and it don't smell like Republican action, but is clearly and emphatically in both looks and scent, Julianish! and we believe a large majority of voters of the Republican party, together with other "Union men, and all who are in favor of a vigoious prosecution of the war," will denounce it as an abortion and will repudiate it. We believe we know the feelings of the People of Old Wayne sufficiently to pre diet, if the programme of thi Julian clique is to be carried out, that any man, we care not who he is, who receives a nomination in pursuance of its dictation will be defeated, and he ought to be, if be has so little of the spirit of light and justice, as to place bis prospects at the disposal of a miserable clique, that is guided and controlled by the most arrant demagogue that ever cursed Wayne Ccunty, and who is again intriguing and pulling party wires, in order that he may continue mis-representing tho People of the now "Burnt District" in Congress. We opposed the inauguration of the fellspirit of party, in tbe Slh of January Convention of the Breckiniidge-Bright faction of the Democracy, and - for similar reasons shall oppose the behests of the Julian clique and its ukase. It seeks to ignore party in voting for the selection of candidates inviting all parties to participate therein; but was unwilling to call the People together, and let them determine thai matter for themselves; and we can see only one reason governing its action and that is the plans and specifications were laid and made out for the benefit of George Washington Julian and the election wttnf take place in April, before another candidate could have time to canvas the county against him, or the contract would be null and void. ? If the clique persist in its determination to forestall public opinion, our advice is to let those who have hitched themselves to the car of George Washington Julian, and ' are trying to galvanize his political corpse, -GO IT ALONE." The PEOPLE will have nothing to do with it. ' ( Here is the proceedings as furnished by the Secretary: ( , Meeting oftlie Kepnbllcan Central Conaiuiitee, Pursuant to a call by the Chairman, the Republican Central Committee met in Centervilie o Saturday, the 1st dty of March, IS62. for the purpose of consulting andt!e termining as to the time and manner ol nominating candidates for the October election. Communications were read from members cf the Committee not present, and, on motion, their votes were received and cast by proxy. Substitutes., who bad been sent by members unable to attend, were also received. After some discussion, in which all the members present participated, . the following resolution was adopted, - - , Resolved, That we call upon the Republican and Union ineoj and a'l who are .in favor of a vigorous prosecution of the war, and will abide the decision of the people on that day by supporting their nominees, to roectVou the first .Monday in April, at j the usual places of holding elections to the different precincts in the county, and. determine, by ballot. ho sha l be tbe candidates for County, Legislature and Congressional effices at tbe October election for 1E6jL ; Tho only difference of opinion among those present, seemed to be as to tbe propriety of nominating at so early a day; bat tn view of all the facts tie policy having been adopted heretofore, and having given each universal satisfaction, heretoiore, and that a great majm'.y of the people preferred that time, the Committee deemed it proper to put sue the course adopted and adhered to heretofore. The Chairmen of the several Township Committees are authorised and requested to act as Judges in the different precincts. ' O. T. J OSES. Pkm'U D ax. M. BaADBL av, Sec'j. ,(V 1 ST.Lorts, March 4.'

' 3 Hen rjr Count y. ' " We like the proceedings cf tbe Central Committee of our neighboring county of

Henry, and heartily endorse tbe sentiments of tbe Courier in relation thereto: 'Resolved, That our nominations for County and District officers be made by a popular vote.- ' ' Re solved. That we recommend the same method to the favorable consideration of (he other counties composing the Congressional and Judicial Districts. Resolctd, That the nomination of candidates be deferred until after the Sta'e organ iza'icn. On motion of Mr." We!born,the Commit tee adjourned, to meet again on Saturday of tbe week following the State Convention. The above action of the Committee may cot give universal satisfaction, but we are confident that it was right and proper, under the circumstances. To our mind, there would have been great impropriety in rushing at this early day into a greedy scramb'e for the spoils of office, while our very national existence is staked on the result of event lik-Iy to occur in the neit fev months. Tite time for holding the State Convention is not yet fixed, but the general impression seems to be that it will not be called until after harvest. By that time we may reasonably hope for a more settled s'a'c of the public mind, and perhaps a portion of our ciiizen soldiery, now in tbe field, may be with us once more, to assist ii electing onr officers. Under this arrangement our county nominations may still be made two months in advance of the election, and this we think, will give abundant lime for all the eacvasing necessary to be done. "" "Exobbitast Pricks," When connected with printing for the county, or corporation, becomes a fit subject for inquiry and remedy. We place it side by-side with Mr. Eldeb's sham "dicker" of his printing effice, in order to keep his hold upon tbe P. O. dimes a little longer, and we, therefore, make no objection, but invite a thorough investigation into all past transactions in the item of public printing, in order to find out whether there is any truth in the charge of "exorbitant prices," or if tho cry has not been - merely raised thro a malicious and covetous feeling by croakers for economy. For tbe past fourteen months our bill agaiust the county for printing blanks, &c, amount to about eighty dollart. If we ere obnox ious to the charge of exorbitance, it will surely appear iu some of these items that go to make up that sum, and we will be happy to afford the trio of self-constituted newspaper examiners into financial disbursements of old Wayne, every facility to get them. We have never charged the county one cent more than we would charge any of our enstomers for the same kitd of work. We labor at the printing business for the purpose of making a living, and if bard work and close atteniion to business deserve that reward, we can say without egotism that we can claim it, tho' it may be a meagre one that we may get. We challenge an investigation, so far as we are .concerned. The sneer of the Boad Axe editor at the 'little old man" in the Auditor's office, is every way worthy of the source. It is nothing more than an honorable, high-min ded man might expect from one who would attempt to defraud a woman out of two dollars! ''Thereby hangs a tale." We would feel just as bad, and pay just as much regard to tbe sneers of a malefactor, from behind the bars of a prison, as we would, were they peeping out at us from an editorial column of the Broad Axe! He talk to ins about "exorbitant prices" for printing. when he couldn't tell a S3 bill from a $5, until reminded of the difference by an officer! Foh! " A portion of the Democracy of Abington township feeling that the country was fast on the road to ruin aad that it would certainly "slile" if they remained longer si lent, met in convention, on Saturday last, and after parsing a resolution to sustain the "JtrfTersonian," passed several other resolutions, among which it was; Rtsolred, Tftat we have no confidence in the present Administration, its conduct hav ing been characterized by weakness, extrav agance and corruption. We presume thi resolution will bf the' means of saving the Uaioa. 3ut it strikes us as carious how the unchangeable democracy will differ. The democracy of Rhode Island at thiir Sta'.e Convention, held on Thursday of last week, among other resolutions passed the following: - Resolved, That the effort now being made to divert the war from its original purpose, as proclaimed by the President end Congress of the United States sev-n months ag the maintenance of the Constitution and the preservation of the Union's integrity and to turn it into a war fortbe emancipation of aLives and the subjaation of (he Southern States, 1 or their return to a territorial condition is aa effort against the Union, against tbe Conaiituriftn, against jatiee, and against human ity. aad should be prompUr irowaed upa by all the friends of Democratic institutions. ' It is unworthy the support of loyal citizens aad ean find support ooly witb sectional fanatics, who have no love f jr the Union, or 1 for its restoration, and whose highest patriotism is an unnatural and unrighteous hatred of the citizens of ais er States. Aad whereas, we perceive gratifying indications that President Lincoln is resisting and will continue to resUt this treasonable effort. ; it is farther resolved, that in such patriotic re aistance he is entitled to. and rioea aad shall continue to receive, our cordial sympathy aad unfaltering support." ' Amos Kendall, whose devotion to the democratic party, no one will doubt, in his first letter of a series addressed to Pretident Lineolo, says : . - "Be ass a red. sir, that tbe Democratic party of tbe North, with the exception of a few semi-traitors whom they repodjate, cordiailv hsppreve the objects of tbe war against rebel lion as declared bj you ia all your public avowals.- They rally around you with a devotion to the eaase not exceeded by aav kelsat ef yoar original supporters, and they win spare no saennoe to save toe Union and the ConstitntioTi.

Had he been the special correspondent of those papers, no discredit would have attached to him for it, be cause the correspondence gave deserved praise where praise was due; but Mr. Hotlow ar was not the author. At the timej .1 t . r. I the speeches were made, he was at EvansV,;. .... f , r'..:ville, lod., on his wsy to Cairo, in charge of hospital stores for the sick and wounded Indianiars. But what be'ter could be expected fiom an apologist of a convicted traitor, than sneers, slander, and downright lying on those who are engaged in relieving our sick and wounded soldiers, dorng everything in their power to crush the rebellion, and trying to bring to condign punishment all traitors, both open and covert?. The falsehood of the Jtffersonian editor has the less excuse, because, in the same dispatch, Mr. II.'s absence is mentioned 1 The doltish editor of tho Broad Axe siezes on this latter fact of the allusion to Hollowat's absence, and seeks to aaaistthe editor ot the Jtffersonian in making a better "thing" out of its bald lie. We are not at al! astonished at tbe assistance thus render' ed both Elder and Ham'an supported the traitor Breckinridge at the last Presidential election, and 'tis but a natural consequence for them both to be now engaged, "cheek-by-jowl," in just such dirty work as we have exposed.

Immediately af.er the war had commenced, both the State and the National Adminstratioos, by appointments to civil and military positions of those who were their political opponents, have shown to the world a determination to sink the partizan in the patriot 1 place devotion to country so far ahead of davotion to party, that sterling merit would receive its due reward whexever fouud.

There was great excitement here over the capture of Fort Douelson. but I presume the feeling ran no higher than it did "oat West." Western people are very excitants and enthmiastic, t ud I know tbu the news ol tbe great victory of Geu. Grant and Com. Fo-te, mast have set them almost wild. What few Indianiaos we had here (myself among the rest) just tamed themselves loose" for a little season over, the good news. It is my opinion thst the war is pretty near iu close in the. Western States, and I have often asksJ myself the question why it is that we are kept idling away our time here while our brothers are undergoing the toils and dangers and reaping the glories of successful war? , I have long wanted to be with them, bat it is my opinion now that the theatre of the war will soon be transferred to the "aacrvd soil", ot the Old Dominion; so I am oontent to renin iu a little longer "hoping and waiting." When the rebels can austaiu themselves no longer in the West, they w ill concentrate their forces around Manassas and Richmond, aid then will come the tug c( war. I firmly btliece that ire will be in possession of Ma nassas inside of fourio&is. It is the first time I have ever ventured that opinion mind it is only my opinion but tbe signs of the times indicate a speedy and earnest forward movement. When that movement is made it will be like an avalanche rolling down the sides of .the Alps nothing oan impede its progress. Manassas will fall and Richmond will follow, and the victorious hosts of McCIellao will sing peans to the Uuion on the plaios of Georgia and Alabama. I think it possible but scarcely probable that the rebels will lay down their .arms and sue for )eaoe before they are well jn(1 completely "licked." G. W.
