The rSnaikp in Watertown.

Our city is infested with nest of as We
ritable and black traitors as can be found
any where in Secessiendom In addition to
often repeated and open declarations, and
other equally unmistakabla signs such as
gadness at the rebel triumphs. the article
we publish to-day from the Heltbauyer, the
German Secession paper in this city, if it
were still in doubt, removes the fact be-
yond controversy. By responding to our
illusions to traitors. the writer has not on
ly acknowledged himself such person as
sha term imports, but also by the lively
sympathy which he manifesto in their be-
half, shows that he is no mere novitiate,
but one dyed in tho wool" Our bare
mention of Governments dealing with reb-
els in Wisconsin and Watertown, as they
are dealt with elsewhere, has not only
greatly disturbed his equanimity, but calls
forth STERN of fury which would be char
scteristic of the Arch Apostate, Jeff. Davis
himself. Every muscle of his body is evil
IDENTIFY in violent tremor, 1t is not usual
for men to answer in such a way, unless
they know and feel that they themselves
have been alluded to neither do men de-
fsrd classes of persons fer whom they have
no affinity; therefore the article in ques-
ton leaves no reasonable doubt that the
author is a rank secessionist.
Sensible men need not be informed that
the men whom the Government is sending
to the penal forts every day. the most ar
rant of all the rebels in the North, deny,
in words, that they are traitors; while at
th4 same time, Just like the author alluded
o,ltheir conversation and acts abundantly
prove the fact. When the Great Enemy
tempted our first parents this first and
best Symbol of the rebel cause, profsssed
ardent solicitude for growth in knowledge
and welfare of those whom he sought to
ruin. Such has been the trick of every
traitor since, including Judas, who betray-
ed the Lord with kiss of all whom the
Wettbwyer and its coadjutors are servile
imitators, equally malignant and hypocrit-
zeal, without equal cunning. We venture
the affirmation that theFederal Government
has no more depraved, malignant, and in
reterate hater in the insurgent army, nor
can man be found North or South, who
more habitually or vituperously inveighs
against the Constitutional Government, or
more ardently desires and indefatigably la
bors for its downfall, Not sensible man
in this city doubts, that full record of the
written or spoken words of the editor would
abundantly sustain our position. And yet.
the impudent demagogue has the insuffera-
impudence and effrontery to deny that be
is rebel IN leage with the traitors If SO
bold and unprinci pied denial of the petit
isal and moral leprosy would vindicate the
men, not traitor could be convicted in
all the North. So depraved denial of
truth so apparent, shows that these men
actually Guido the Evil One himself, who
bad as he is. undoubtedly bushes at the
unimagined meannesss of these offspring of
his, to whom, since the publication of said
article, he has unhesitatingly yielded the
palmetto. On the other hand, while not
a word, in all probability has been uttered
OF written in favor of The Government or
the war, a continuous diarrhoea Of caum-
ny. misrepresentation and low abuse has
been gurgling out against the loyal cause
and all loyalists We affirm this on the
ground first The we'll known character
of the man and that secondly: 4 paper
scores of miles distant, which fully under
stood tho matter, has published tho sheet
an out and out secessiouist. We might
add the taking Of the n. Y. Day Book,
so vile rebel sheet that the Government
suppressed it, which no one but o seccs-
sionist would superior the general is
sue of the obvious character of certain
persons amongst US. Were these men uni
versally as well known as is the case here,
from Rothe downwards, (if there can be
any grade where all are in the superlative
degree) true likeness of any one of them
would serve as better symbol of the class
and character of the rebels, than the kin
dred and certainly well chosen emblem up
on their banner, the poisonous and malig-
nant nsassasaog,tS, of whom no good was
ever known, but much evil
