WHAT IT MEANS.
To those. who are cot 'versed in and
have not reflected deeply on the facts
and philosophy o( our political history,
the hypothesis ‘ that of all parties" the Demo
cralic parly only, can restore the Union, is. as
the riddle of the Sphyni, and marvelous as ‘he
Lanyrioth of Crete with its ever beginning
aod never ending perplexities. Ask of them
their mode of operation ; and ne get only this,
“we will offer the rebels terms upon which a
peace alike honorable to both parties can be"
made." Ah! But in such case will it be
made? How do they kuow it will? Are they cer
tain that any terms they might propose would
be accepted ? Are they assured that any
would be accepted short of recognition ?
Can they give any reason lor their faith ? and
if they can give none, with what kind of grace
can they go oat into the highways and byways
and ask men to support them ? Are we to
make a change upon a mere guess ? To guess
is by common consent a Yankee prerogative,
and although prerogative like loyal, is open to
the hypercriticism of the Benah Brown anom
alies, we guess, a President cannot be elected
on the platform of a guess. Can they give a
reason, for the laith that is in them, as they
pretend ? That they do not give it is certain.
Now in ail candor, when a party asks the
people to intrust them with the Government,
they ought to give reasons, at least clear and
definite, if not solid and practicable, unless, all
the time harping on “Shoddy” they intend to
play “Shoddy " themselves. Or do they sup
pose the people fools, to believe them, not only
without reason, but against reason. Or indeed,
are they omniscient ? Wo kuow they claim
that Lincoln, and each and every Union roan
is an ass— that every army contractor etc., is a
Shoddyite—that ibe vita! principle of the
Union party is fanaticism—that their bond is
the spoils of office, and that the Union is only
Ibe trnmp card in the game, and of course that
they are just the reverse of this, especially, the
last item. But the question is are they omnis
cient ? The Titans, it is said, warred against
Jove. Are they Titans or not ? If not or if
they are, let them beware of the fate of the
Titans. If they are not omniscient, do they
stand on Terra Fii ma, or are they cn rapport
with those who control the rebellion, that they
know so much ? If en rapport, beware of the
Trojan horse. The woolly horse is a myth to
that. Often do they say, had the Grit
leaden Compromise prevailed, there would
have been no rebellion. And icstauter, they
say they want “the Constitution us it is. and
the Union as it was.” The Crittenden com
promise was an amendment to the Constitution,
therefore they want “the Constitution as it is,
and the Union as it was 111" I'nese Demo
crals, as they persist in calling themselves,
like a degenerate scapegrace of an illlustrious
sire inheriting nothing but his name, (and this
is an extravagant comparison as to the scape
grace), are alike. Satan, when expeiled
from the Celestial abode, would have no
donbt compromised the fuss by being reinsta
ted according to the "Constitution as it is, and
the Union as it was," but God would do no
such contemptible thing, and in ibis, he assert
ed his proper authority in accordance with his
sovereign attributes. These so called Demo
crats are not doing as God did. Let the rebel
leaders go to Satan's abode, and the rest wo
will care for, and these are better terms than
Satan ever got. If the Democrats will still
pray for Satan, why let them pray.
Now all the philosophy of this rebellion is,
that slavery has been a controlling element in
our politics. The sagacious politicians, iu the
interests of slavery, long since foresaw that as
the natural ultimate result of existing causes,
the power of the free States would preponder
ate over the slave States. For this reason, if
reason it may be called, they originated and
nursed the scheme of rebellion. This was the
grand fact and cause of the rebellion and not
the acts of the tree Statss or the people there
of. South Carolina, in her ordinance of seces
sion. mentions bat one act of the States, that,
tn respect to the execution of the Fugitive
Slave law, The justice of this is seen, when it
ts considered, that a less number . f slaves es
raped, according to Bucbat an's census taker,
for the ten years ending with IS6O. than was
ever known to have escaped in any period of
ten years preceding. For thirty years at least,
they had only watched their opportunity of
rebellion. They judged it bad arrived, when
Lincon was elected, which they helped all they
could, with any show of consistency.
They were aware ibat language, relig oa.
general ideas, aud above all the configuration
of the continent, and its natural highways and
outlets, rendered it aimoet an impossibility to
make the North and South two separate aa
tioos. But, true to previous tactics, it was in
their programme to demand new terms and
conditions in favor of slavery, as the p ice of
UD'on. and act merely threaten, but do violence
in case their demands were not complied w ith.
The Constitution and the Union as it was. they
bad. They wanted more than that. Will
they make peace with less than they demand, d
then? Yc who oppose the Administration,
answer that it you know. Do you guess only ?
If you know, let all know ; if you do not. it is
simply ridiculous to charge Administrations
on a guess.
■‘Better bear the ills we know.
Than fly to those we know not of."
Fs'ling to make Karsa? a slave State a !
tbe other Territory was lest. The case pre
sented to them, was this; Tbe inevitable pre
ponderance of tbe free States, the moral cer
tainty of no more slave States from tbe Terri
tories, and yet tbe physical impossibilities of
two nations. North and Sooth. To part with
power so long enjoyed, was worse than death.
The men of the Sooth have been eminent in
politics only, bat pre eminent in that. What
ever may be said as to their political ethics,
their political sagacity stands unrivalled. If
they blandered at all, it was only as to the
facts of the case. They resolved upon this ;
to reconstruct tbe Union. The number of the
slave and free States being nearly equal, they
could always hold the control. They had lost
Kansas, and with it the remaining Territory
of tbe United States. Now if the six New
England States could be thrown off, twelve
voles in the Senate of the United States could
be got rid of. and they would be masters of the
situation. The programme was. for a!! the
slave States to secede and frame a constitution,
“the corner stone of which should be slavery."
With the control of the Mississippi, tbe acces
sion of the Northwestern Stales was deemed
certain. And of course ail the Territories
west would fallow. The Middle States would
inevitably follow next. New York must
come or cease to be the emporium of commerce.
New England being oof, would not be let in.
and a Union with twelve Senators less from
free Slates, would give tbe control of the gov
ernment to tbe inleres's of slavery forever.
And right here is the key of the whole matter.
Probably a peace could be made any day.
with the New England Slates left out.
Hence, tbe talk with opponents of the Admin
istration, of the separation of the Northwestern
States from the Eastern States : and all the
diatribes, falsehoods, sophistries, tirades, ridi
cule, and constant attacks on New England,
from a squib to a cannonade. And what,
with truth, is to to said of New England?
Does not history, and all statistics show, that
as moral, industrious, intelligent, well gov
erned communities, they have never been ex
celled ? Certainly, this will not be controvert
ed. But, it is said that ail the isms originate
and flourish there. This is a downright lie.
What are called isms, no more originate and
flourish there, than elsewhere. If so, name
the ism. Abolitionism no more originated or
flourishes there, than in other free States on tbe
average, and never did. They are charged
with seeking protection for their manufactures,
at the expense of others. This is substantial
ly a lie, as every well read politician knows.
In the first instance, New England fought and
protested against tbe protective system, which
was forced upon her by the other States, and
particularly the South and West, aud with a
view, probably, to injure her ; her interests at
that time being chiefly commercial. And up
to the passage of the Tariff bill of 1842, a
majority of her Senators and Representatives
bad voted against every protective Tariff
passed. Pennslyvar.ia was pre eminent always
as a protective State, why not calumniate her ?
Besides, a very large proportion ol the votes
of New England, both popular and electoral,
have been given to Democratic candidates in
the olden time. John Adams even, was on
tbe electoral ticket of Massachusetts, and cast
his electoral vote for Democratic James Mon
roe for President, and died tbe strong personal
friend of Thomas Jefferson. Taken in the
main, the charges and calumnies so prevalent
at this time with Democrats against New
England, are nothing more nor less tbau tbe
vilest and basest of fabrications, intended to
produce a certain political effect. As to the
pack of imbeciles that follow in the wake, like
Amicus po/fu/t ; correspondents of the Marys
ville Express, who swell with stolid self con
ceit, which appears ridiculous to any native ol
New England who his nut sold himself like Ju
das Iscariot, let them lie and slander to their
heart's content. If formidable at all, it is only like
loathsome insects from their numbers. It may
all be summed up in this. Sew England has
twelve votes in the Senate of the Untied States,
and they aie free States. This :s what is the
matter.
Sagacious as Southern politicians were,
they have failed in their (acts. They estima
ted the population of the free States as a sor
did. mercenary sot of poltroons and cowards,
who could not face the valiant chivalry of the
South. They also supposed they were desti
tute of all honorable, manly and patriotic mo
tives. Particularly, did they despise the
masses of the Democratic party, and supposed,
they were so, under the control of the leaders,
whom they knew to be true to slavery, that
the free Slates would be stultified, and from
that cause, unable to wage war. They have
found the people ol the free States, not the
cowards they supposed, and that, is worth the
cost of this war.
They were mistaken in their facts, but thete
will be no mistake in their own failure. The
question is here put ; Is it the intention of the
so called Democra’:c party to exclude in any
event, the New England States from the
Union? Taken in connection with the cur
ree.t denunciations of the day against New
England, it his its - gniticance.
DruorKmc Akgcment.—The San Fran
cisco Call asks—Arc you a Peace Democrat?
Then vote for the Candida'? of the Peace Plat
form. That, you know, decides the course of
the party which adopts it as their character
and programme. The views of the candidate
amount to but little. He will he obliged to
follow the bill of fa*o his party has decided
upon. Are you a War Democrat? Then vote
for McClellan, who. in his last speech avow t d
himself in favor of suppressing the rebellion by
earnest, deternreed war. The Platform, yen
know, amounts to nothing in deciding the
course of the Party that wins upon it. It is
merely a trap to catch votes and win the elec
tion. And so, wherever McClellan is popnlar.
tbe argument wili be McClellan. Wherever
the Peace sentiment is stronger than tbe per
sonal. or military, or party admiration for him.
the argument will be, tbe Peace Platform.
This is a sorry and beggarly p isition to be
held by a once great, bold and war party,
which went for annexing all creation.
An effort is being made in Marysville to
raise one thousand dollars by private subscrip
tion, for the purpose of defraying a part of the
expenses incident anon a military encampment

Loyalty Venus Treason.
When a wise man begins to build a house,
he first sits down and coants the cost, to see
if be is able.
Our "Southern brethren" are believed to
have made a small error in their calculations,
when they "fired tbe Southern heart," and set
up their little Confederacy. Having disposed
of the Army and Navy and the munitions of
war, in such a manner that it would require
many months to make them of any service.and
secured most of the forts, arsenals, and war
material in their borders, they felt that in a
system of defensive war they were real y im
pregnable. They supposed.—and the subse
quect action of that loyal Democracy witch has
treasonable prodirities shows they had reason to
expect —that their accessories in the X’orth
would create such a diversion of sentiment in
public opinion against a war of coercion, that
though they might not be able to defeat it al
together, they would at least be able to defer
it for a time, or render it less vigorous than it
otherwise would be.
They also expected tbe demand for cotton
would cause France and England to interfere,
recognize their independence, and render them
such other material aid, as would enable them
to advance to a speedy triumph, and dictate
their own terms, of settlement for peace and
amity between tbe anandoned remnant of the
old Republic and tbe new.
Having a cowardly dotard in the presiden
tial chair, and most of his cabinet being in
league with them, they ruse suddenly to the
dignity of a cation, on paper.
They had carried Stales into rebellion, pro
claimed i heir independence, organized a na
tional Confederacy, and added the last link to
the chain of treason, by firing upon the Fede
ral Flag as it waved over the battlements of
Sumter. Ail this time the loyal mass ot the
people had looked upon the scents transpiring,
aroused them—as they beheld with wonder and
amazement and were utterly unable to com
prebend the audacious folly and wickedness ot
base, wicked and ungrateful men. But the
booming of cannon, as its thunder tones peal
ed along the Atlantic, from the gulf to the
lakes, and their echoes rolled and reverberaUd
among the Alleghenies, across the Mississippi,
over the Rocky Mountains and across the con
tinent to the shores of tbe Pacific, then gath
ering new force froln the surging billows rolled
back like a giant thunderbolt upon the brow
of the snow capped Sierras, aroused the cation
from its lethargy, and opened‘.he eyes of the
people to the real nature of tbe contest, the
interests at stake, and the principles to be de
cided by the arbitrament of war. From every
quarter of the land there arose from loyal lips
the stern language of determination to oppose
force by force for the suppression of rebellion,
the punishment of treason, and the preserva
tion of the Union. Then was made the issue
upon which there could be no cavil. Every
man must be for * for his country or against it.
Neutrality was out of the question. There
could be but two parties, and ‘‘only patriots
ok traitors.'’ Xo argument is necessary to
prove that those, who during the progress of
the rebellion were saying—-wayward sisters,
depart in peace," were guiliy of treason as ac
cessories before tbe fact. Now to show that
those, opposing a war of coercion, were guiliy
as accessories after the lact. These arc plain
truths by the common rules of law. Yet.
there were these, who said wayward sisters had
a right to depart, and tbe Government had no
right to coerce a State. Those persons were
then, and now are, adherents to the so called
Democratic party —trai ors to that Democracy
that makes all men equal before the law —
traitors to the constitution that makvS the
Government of the United States supreme over
ail the States—traitors to the Union which is
the basis of our liberties, and was formed for
the security and happiness of the people —trai-
tors to tbe Government which they are bound
by oath, (either actual or implied) to protect
and defend—traitors to the trust committed to
their care by bauds sacred by the conflict of a
seven years's war—traitors to that Flag which
is wafted over every sea, and to every land, the
emblem of liberty, the hope of the oppressed,
tbe pride of the free.
Had the object of tbe rebels bcec—not the
destruction of the Union—not tbe alienation
and severance of any part of tbe national do
main from the jurisdiction of the constitution
—not the subversion of the principles of hu
man liberty—not the humiliation of cur na
tional emblem—not to build up a principle,
despotic in its nature, and barbarous in its or
igin—not to fasten upon the people and per
petuate a practice wnicli meets the condemna
tion of ihe civilized world, but simply to obtain
a redress of grievances—tbe security of rights
guaranteed by the constitution, and denied by
the Government, even then the first act of war
against the legal and constitutional authority
of the Government would have been treason.
Under our form of Government, the n il! of tbe
majority is the rule, and that will, being ex
pressed every four years, it is little lc.-s than
the gibberish of an idiot to say, force is neces
sary to obtain from the Government any right
guaranteed by tbe constitution to the States
or people. In the case before us, if the act of
reb* lion and resist nee t tbe law are wr ug
then the act of coercion by the military power
of the nation is right.
That ti.e rebellion has anv Icjal or ccr.stitu
t. ual justification, no man of intelligence can
seriously pretend.
To say it has any moral justification, is
placing the morality of tbe nineteenth century
in a very ludicrous light. The rebellion being
wrong, and a war of coercion being right, all
loyal men wili be united in the prosecution ot
the war, and in suppressing all those dissen
sions and “political differences,” that endanger
the peace and safety of the nation.
It will not satisfy tbe demand of loyally, to
say -we are in lavor of a cessation of hostilities
and offering terms of peace.' while an armed
rebellion is arrayed in hostility against the
constitutional authority. The only terms of
peace, which can ever be accepted have long
since been offtied. Nor is ibat demand satis
fied by saying, we are in favor of prosecuting
the war to final success, but are opposed to the
unconstitutional means adopted by this admin
istration." The administration is the consti
tutionally created authority to execute the law.
and as Commander in Chief of the Army and
N tbe President is c I confined :' the
exercise o i civil power alone, when the affairs
of State are shaken to their very centre by an
organized military despotism, which has its
adherents in every State cf the Union, and
seeks the destruction of our national life. The
Democratic party admirers are but poorly
schooled in the art and laws of war. if they
suppose the President is to sit down, fold his
bands, and lament the destruction of our na
tional fabric, because the constitution does net
in all cases point out the exact way in which
the national power shall be used for its preser
vatioe. Much is left to bis judgment; not only
in regard to the c nstitutionality of his acts,
bat also tbe necessity for their exercise, and
the man who has tbe welfare of his whole
country at heart, and is true to the principles
of sc.'government, can find a brighter field,
for the exercise of reason and intelligence.than
is to be found in advocating those ••political
differences" which would consent to disunion,
rather than wage a war of coercion—which
would affiliate with traitors under the false
guise of Democracy, rather than abandon tbe
name of the Democratic party —which style
the President an usurper, tyrant, and despot,
because, being responsible to the people for
the conduct of the war, he conducts it in obe
dience to their will according to the dictates
of bis own judgment.
•■Political differences'' which would use (and
thereby abase) the freedom of speech and the
press, to encourage traitors in arms, and trea
son sympathisers who desire to so embarrass
the Government as to enable the rebels to
succeed in the disintegration of the Bepublic,
• Political differences” which rejoice over
Federal defeats, magnify the reverses of the
Federal arms, and declare the war thus far a
failure, because their advocates desire it to be sc.
But the rebellion has not succeeded—the war
on the part of the Government has not been a
failure, and the task of showing what has been
accomplished will be reserved for auolh.r chap
ter, contenting ourselves with having shown in
this, how to discern between tbe truly loyal
and disloyal citizens, who enjoy the protection
of oar common country.
Glorious News from Sherman—Atlanta
Captured—Rebels Defeated—the raider
Morgan Killed.
The confirmation of the news of the capture
of Atlanta is glorious for Uoiou men. Its fall
is a death blow to the Confederacy. It gives
to the possession of the Federal army the con
trol of the great Umpire State of the South,
which contains over half a million of whites,
and a million of slaves. It was the principal
Slate for supplies, and Atlanta the great depot
for the mauulacturing of arms, amnnition, etc.
for the Rebel Conthievcracy I
Sherman sends his official report to the War
Department, at Washington, as follow-: It
was delayed on account of the breaking of the
telegraph lines :
" Twenty six miles South of Atlanta. Sept.
Third. Our army withdtew from about At
lanta. and on August tbirtietb made a break
on tbe Hast I’oiut Road, reaching a good po
sition from which tostrike the Macon K diroad.
Howard was on the right, near Jonesboro,
eighteen miles South of Atlanta. Schofield
was on the left, near Rough and Ready, nine
miles South of Atlanta. Howard found the
enemy in force at Jonesboro, and intrenched
his troops within a half mile of the railroad.
The enemy attacked him at three o'clock in
the afternoon, and was easily repulsed, leaving
bis dead ai d wounded. Finding a strong op
position on tbe road. 1 advanced the left and
centre rapidly to the rear, and nude a good
lodgment, and broke the railroad all the way
from Rough and Heady down to Howard's
lelt, near Juuesboro. Ry the same movement
1 interposed my whole army between Atlanta
and that part of tbe enemy intrenched in and
around Jonesboro. On the first of September
we made a genera! attack on the enemy at
Jmesboro, the Fourteenth Corps, General Jeff
C. Davis, carrying the works and capturing
ten guns and about 1.000 prisoners. Tbe en
emy retreated South. We have followed him
to ids hastily constructed lines near Lovejoy's
station, twenty six miles sooth of Atlanta.
Hood, finding me on the only road that could
supply him. a d between him and a considvra
ble part of bis army, blew up his magazine iu
Atlanta and left m the night. The Twentieth
Corps [Slocum's] took possession of the city.
So Atlanta is ours and fairly won. Since the
fifth of May we have been in one constant bat
tle, or skirmish, and we need rest. Our lass
will rot exceed 12,000 [?]. We have over
3.000 rebel dead -nd wounded and over 1.500
prisoners." SHERMAN.
A later dispatch from Slocum, dated night
of September third, at Atlanta says:
The enemy destroyed seven locomotives and
e’ghtv one cars loaded with amuuition, small
arms'and stores, and left fourteen pieces of ar
tillery. m istly uninjured, and a large number
of sinai! arms Deserters are constantly com
ing into our lints STANTON.
On the thiid and fourth considerable skir
mi-bing was going on ;o the Shenandoah va.
lev, between Berryvihe and Winchester. Crook
and Ave.ili reposed the attacks of the enemy,
who were being gradually pressed up the val
lev hv the cautious advance of Sheridan's
army.
Further news from Atlanta confirms the
killing of the three Rebel Generals, Anderson,
Patten and Hardee.
A Washington dispatch, dated September
fifih, says everything was quiet in front of
Petersburg up to yesterday morning. The
rebels were erecting strong works opposite our
position on tbe left. The work on the Dutch
Gap canal approaches completion.
Adtic s from Panama s:a r c that tbe Chile
an Chamber of Deputies has resolved that the
Mexican Empire ought not to be recognized.
The coast traffic of Chile is open to all Daticns.
According to an official statement, the
amount of fractional currency in circulation is
twenty tour millions of debars. It has increa
sed one million dollars within tbe past month.
The subscriptions to the seven thirty loan re
ported at the Treasury Department today
amount to 81.472.000.
General Granger has issued an order of ac
knowledgment to the army for the part taken
by it in tbe reduction of Fort Morgan. M e
learn that there was not a single man lost by
our forces in the last attack on tbe Fort.
The following official telegram was received
from Knoxville, Tennessee, dated Buns Gap.

Steamboat Catastrophe—Explosion of a
Boiler of the Steamer Washoe.
A terrible disaster occurred at half past nice
o'clock, on Monday evening, September sixth,
at the mouth of the slough. about thirty Eve
njt.es below Sacramento, acd tec miles abcye
Rio Vista. by which seventy five people, in
cluding four ladies were killed outright, and a
large cumber badly wounded, besides o»:ir
that sustained trifling damage. The list of
killed and wounded cannot be said to be com-'
plete as vet. as the passenger list was lost, and
the exact number ah ard at the time, remains
unascertained. The scene on board, after the
catastrophe, is described as harrowing in the
extreme. The floor of the cabin and portions
of the deck, were covered with the dead and
wounded. The bedding of the boat was brought
into requisition, and Seme forty sufferers were
stretched out. some of them enduring great
agony, and ethers being 100 badly injured to
be conscious of their condition. Many subse
quently d;ed on being removed. To the best
recollection of the cletfc of the boat there were
one hundred and fifty three passengers on
board, on leaving can Franc'sco, and several
others came aboard at Benicia and Rio Vista
With officers and crew, the total number on
board, at the lime, could not Lave beer less
than ore hundred and seventy five persons.
Passengers who escaped uninjured, describe
the scene, at the time of the catastrophe, ss
beart-rd dirg. The lights were, of course, ex
tinguished by the shock. The report of the
boiler was followed by the crashing of the
fragments of the boat, and the groans and
cries of the wounded. Assistance was prompt
ly dispatched from Sacramento. A sanitary
commission was extemporized, acd everything
which humanity could suggest, done to relieve
the sufferers. Taken altogether this is the
most appalling disaster that has occurred since
the introduction of steamboats on the Sacra
mento. Two other explosions are within the
recollection of our citizens. That of the t’carl
in January '53. which exploded a boiler near
the mouth of the American river, and by which
fifty five persons were killed or fatally injured.
Tittle more than a year afterwards, in Feb
ruary of '56, the steamer Belle, bound for Bed
Bluff, and having about forty passengers on
board, exploded her boiler nearly opposite
Russian Ford. The boat was blown to pieces
and two thirds of the number of passengers
were killed or wounded. Among the wounded
was Gen. John Bidwell of Bulle. our present
candidate for Congress.
The explosion of the Washoe should be the
subject of resolute and intelligent investiga
tion. While the dead and dying victims are
around us, *he general voice demands that the
responsibility shall be fixed.
