Wo appeal proudly to the record. The first step towards a restoration of •he l'nion as it was is to maintain the con-stitution as it is. So long as it was main-tained in fact, and not threatened with in-fraction in spirit and in letter, actual or imminent, tho Union was unbroken. To restore the Union, it is essential first to give assurances to every Stato and to the people ot every section that their rights and liberties and property will bo secure within the Union under the constitution. What assurance so doubly suro to the re-storation to power ofthat ancient organ-ized consolidated democratic party which for sixty years did seen e the property, rights and liberties of the States and of tho people; and thus did maintain tbo consti-tution and preserve the Union, and with them the multiplied blessings which dis-tinguished us above all other nations? To restore tiie Union is to crush ntu sec-tionalism North and South. To begin the great work of rot-loraliou through ii.o bal-lot box is to kill abolition. Tho bitter wa-ters of Secession liowed first and are fed still from tho unclean fountain of aboli-tionism. That fountain must be dried up. aid and support to tho Federal Govern-ment in maintaining its safety, integrity, and constitutional supremacy, and in tavor of disbanding our armies and succumbing to tbe South. Tho charge is libelous and false. No man has advocated any such proposition. Democrats recognize it as their duty as patriots to supporc the gov-ernment in all constitutional, necessary and proper efforts to maintain its safety, integ-rity, and constitutional authority; but at tho same time they are inflexibly opposed to waging war against any of the States or people oi this Union in any spirit of op-pression. Or for tho purpose ot conquest or subjugation, or of overthrowing O'- iu terfering with the rights or established institutions of any State. Above all the democratic party will not support the administration in anything which looks or tends to the loss of our political or personal rights and liberties, or a change of our presentdemocratical form of Government. But no democrats, it is not the support of the government in restoring the Union which the party in power requires of you. You are asked to give up your principles, pour policy an I your party, and stand by the administration of tho party in power, in all its acts.

A friend of this illustrious warrior whose deeds are now resounding from one end of the Confederate States to the other, has enabled us to to give the following sketch ot his life previously to his acceptance ofa command in the Confederate army. Since that time it has become a part of tbe history of tho country. He was born in Clarksburg, in the coun-ty ol Lewis, in tho year 1825, of highly respectable parents", both of whom died during his infancy, leaving him without a cent in tho world. During his early child-hood ho resided with an uncle, whose narao we did not hear, and at the age ol sixteen ho had conducted himself so well, and pro-duced such a favorable impression of his energy and integrity that ho was chosen constable of tho county. In tho year 1»42 a cadet bad been appointed from his dis-trict to West Point, who declined to go.— Jackson immediately conceived the idea of tilling tho placebo had left vacant. Our informant says, that one day, whilst it was raining exceedingly hard, he burst sudden-ly into bis office, the rain streaming from bis clothes,and '.old him that he must give him a loiter to Mr. Hayes, at that time representative in Congress from the Lewis dislrict. Upon being asked what ho wanted with such a letter, he replied, he wished to go to West Point. His friend pointed out to him « hat be regarded as tbeabsurbity of_sach a Enemies. The Confederate States have four distinct classes of enemies : 1. The government and people of the United States aro our enemies. But thoy are open enemies. They meet us upon the field with aims in their hands, and make war upon us. Thoy shoot down our soldiers, burn our houses, they destroy our proper-ty, and steal our negroes. We know where to find, and how to deal with such an ene-my. 2. Tho second class of enemies aro the croakers—tbe long-faced men . of faint hearts and weak nerves, who/ go up and down tho country, seeking to impart their own despondency and cowaidice to all with whom they come in contact. Every thing goes wrong according to these Dismal Jemmies. The government is weak and negligent! our officers aro lacking in skill; and the army is destitute of con rage. If the government had done its doty, this or that thing would not have happened. Iftho ofliccrs had possessed a grain of foresight, they could have held this or tha . position against the enemy.

OfR LINFS IN FRONT OF K[<IIMOM>.—Hav-ing demonstrated our ability to drive the Yankees from their entrenchments, our troops occupy ground from which they can watch and counteract the apprraches of the foe. A view of tbe country around Rich-mond is highly encouraging for defence. Toe ground is broken by ravines and so covered with foliage, that the position and movement of troops is easily masked. procured immediately, an army would be . ., , iseBM to have improvised iu the twinkling of ar eye ; and the enemy—McClellan, Buell, Halleck, and all—would bo driven out of ;he coun-try the first pleasant day that came.
