Hon. Joseph Holt, in his late speech
at Boston, said;
"The dismemberment Of the Union in
wolves the abasement Of all that of which
as Americans we feel proud, which We
have received as an inheritance from our
fathers and which We are bound to trans
nit unimpaired to our posterity. When
the wise men Of old, sitting upon the rival
claims of two mothers to child, decreed
that the child should be cut in twain and
one portion given to each, 1t was the false
neither who exulted at the Judgment,
while the true mother turned away hor-
rur-struck, preferrinE to leave her offspring
in the hands of an enemy rather than have
it destroyed. The man who is willing
that his country should be divided by the
sword Of treason may have been born in
America, but he cannot have an Ameri-
can heart"
Where was Mahony born? 1t don't
matter where Mason was born, for he ID Z
chicken hearted creature at the best.

The recent "war meeting of the peo-
pie of Chicago adopted the following
amongst other patriotic resolutions:
Resolred, That all should distinctly
understand that peace can only be secured
BY success in the field. or BY dismem-
berment Of the country: The only alter
native is peace fraught with disgrace,
misfortune and ruin, or war, the last ar
gument Of kings. We cannot compro-
mise if We would. Though war is disas-
trious, yet there are worse evils to nations
than those inflicted by it, and this is war
which cannot be avoided by pusillanimous
counsels without bringing them upon Us.
A peace secured BY dishonor is not only
followed BY loss of territory and dishonor-
able consequences, but is succeeded by a
speedy renewal of hostilities to avenge
wounded pride, or to force the exaction Of
. naughty and impelious spirit rendered
doubly grosping and imperious by impu-
nifty. Therefore, let every citizen realize
that the suppression of this rebellion is :
necessity that it can only be crushed by
military power; that the conflict can only
be determined BY the memorable logic Of
events; that the quick way is the true way
and the undaunted spirit the true spirit
in which it should be waged, and At no
distant day, if waged in this spirit, as We
insist it shall be, peace will return unto
us all radiant with concord and union, and
: prosperous and glorious future.
There is nothing Masonic about that
resolution, aad it presents rather cold
comfort to the vallandigham -dam-tuden-
hammers Of the North

HWar is waged against the Govern
ment by rebels for the purpose Of securing
. separation. and the establishment of q
Southern Confederate Government. The
patriots Of the country, on the contrary,
resist the rebels and are rallying- for the
preservation of the Government and the
Union. But the Peace party, playing
into the hands Of secessionists, seeks to
obstruct the measures Of Government for
the maintenance of the Union, and de.
mands that the Governpent shall lay
down its arms and on Bonded knees i'm.
plore peace 1t the hands Of the armed le.
gions OF the South. And yet these das.
tards have the cheek to contend that they
are for the Union, Constitution the and Gov
eminent Of our fathers, while trailing tn,
Stars and Stripes, which they bore to vic
tory against foreign foe, ignominiousl,
In the dust before domestic traitors.

e. The red men Of the forest are gath

commissioner Of the Confederate States, is
forming alliances with the most noted
tribes Of the West. Even the wild Ca
manchcs, heretofore untameable, are about
to be brought under the protection and

and mustered into the service Of the Con-

to see a cavalry brigade of those Wild and

Bya gentleman who left Savannah, Ga,
last Wednesday, We learn that the most
deplorable state Of affairs exists in that
section. A reign Of terror, worse than
that of the French revolution, hangs over
the people. like sable pail Spies and

hate, and the secret clubs forthwith ostra-

A poor Gsrmsa, against whom one Of
the Golden Circle had . spite, was in.

in twelve hours. Not obeying, he was
seized and hung in front Of the Pulaski
House, in the presence Of two thousand
spectators, on Tuesday last.

Homage Aux oamss.

We are gratfied to find that 50 respect
able paper as the Evening Bulletin en-
dorses our idea Of the foolish toadyism Of
the wife Of our Chief Magistrate 1t Long
Branch. Issays:
DIT is lamentable thing that because
lady happens to be the wife Of Chief
Magistrate Of the nation, she should not
be safe from vulgar observation and pub
lie comment. The circumstance that she
Is the Presidents wife should not deprive
her of the right 20 gentlemanly treatment.
But the leading New York journals have
set all their pack Of puppies on her, and
from the moment of her arrival in tn t
city, she has not had the liberty. the secu-
rity, the privacy, and the respect that are
accorded, in most civilized places, TO the
humblest woman in the land. She could
net stir out Of her hotel in New York with
out having her movements, her looks, and
her dress described as infinitely as if she
were prize fighter, foreign danseuse, or
. condemned convict on the way to exc
cution. If she had committed the vilest
crimes, she could not have been treated
with greater contumely. Spies were sent
with her to tell how she behaved on the
journey to Long Branch, and other spies
were in waiting for her there when she
arrived From that moment she has been
subjected to the most cruel espionage, and
ahe must be excessively Disguised with
the treatment she is receiving at the hands
OF the merciless reporters of the papers
that presume to call themselves the lead
ing journals of America, and that are re-
ceived in Europe n fair illustrations Of
American civilization and refinement"

This is the stereotyped interrogatory Of
secessionists when speaking of the seeded
States and = restoration of peace They
are ''back" already. When the traitors
and precipitators have been subdued and
punished, the men they have deceived will
be quite willing to obey the laws and Con-
stitution. The majorities that we're over
awed by violence, will 60 on and elect their
civil officers, and administer the affairs of
State as they did before the failure Of
Breckenridge to be elected President
The JEFF Davis constitution and ordinan-
ces of secession are mere cobwebs which
the spiders Of secession have woven over
the Constitution. The Government will
sweep them away, and the Constitution
will remain in its original vigor and purity.
The great mass Of the people will become
tired of politicians and their ruinous
schemes and will return to their allegiance
with threefold alacrity and fidelity.

The announcement Of the death Of JEFF.

be confirmed. A telegram from Rich
mond to New Orleans on the 9th, states
that he was regarded as very low and dan.
gerous, and that Congress had adjourned
in consequence.

The Convention called BY the majority
of the Democratic State Central Commit
tee, in reputation Of the Mahony call,
met last Thursday The Mahonyites were
on hand in large force, and overruled and
bamboozled the war Democracy into the
support Of Peace Platform, and the en-
dorsement of Mason and his treason-abet-
ting letter of acceptance. The President
Of the Convention, Lincoln Clark Of Du-
buque, resigned his position and with
drew from the Convention on the rejec-
ton Of the resolutions presented BY Cool
baugh, the Chairman Of the Committee
on Resolutions. With the President, .
number Of other prominent members with
drew, and the Mahonyites had it al their
own way.
We make some extracts from the edi-
torial remarks Of the Mahony journal at
Des Moines, to show the spirit of the Con-
vention, and to prove that it was but an
slongation Of the Mahony Convention.
The editor says:
eve congratulate the Democracy Of
Iowa upon the suspicious termination Of
the Convention of the 29th inst.
"Ths Convention was called for the pur.
pose of disorganizing and dividing the
Democratic party. The attempt has sig
nally, and completely failed. The con
spirators and traitors have been met BY
the true Democrats of the State, their de
signs foilsd, and their action emphatically
condemned. The party stands agaiI
united and triumphant. Purified by tn,
ordeal, it can march on to victory.
"The denomination Of Hon Chas Ma
son for Governor, and j. M. Ellwood 70
Supreme Judge, was made by acclamma
ton, and with the unanimous vote Of tn
Convention. For Lieutenant Governo,
VIM. Fl. Merritt Of Linn county, was like
wise unanimously nominated.
.sThe resolutions are not materially dij
.frrent from those adopted at the Conner
tion Of the Gath That, in regard to til
unconstitutionality of the State loan, We
dropped, and the so-called Pollard reso,
tion was also omitted, its wording ben
liable to Misrepresentation. The fri
resolution Of the Ohio State Platform ",
substituted for the like number in tn
Convention of July From the Cd to IL
10th, inclusive, the resolutions correspon
with those adopted at that time"
Thus, according to the leading orgal
it seems this Convention was but .
elongaticn of the Mahony Convention
being the same in spirit and action, ar
not materially differing in the resolution
adopted. The men who were opposed
the Mahony call and platform, are d
nounced ~ disorganizers, and the par'
is congratulated that they have BET
sloughed Oh, and that the organization
now purified.

Freedom 81 the pvess In 1914 and q


The Vallandigham-dam -tuden- hammers
make great ado about the supervision Of
the Press and the suppression of news by
military authority. The freedom of the
Press, they assert, is destroyed, because
the military authorities will not allow the
treason-sympathizing sheets to give aid
and comfort to the enemy by advising them
of the movements ofour troops and aiding
them to obstruct the plans of our Govern
ment
But thereis nothing new under the sun
The sympathixers Of this day had their
prototypes in the Hartford Conventionists
of the war of 1912, as well as in the torier
of l776, and tho measures new taken by
the military authorities are based upon
the presidents established during the Ad-
ministration of President Madison.
Here is the copy of an order issued by
General Gaines in 1914, which for sub
stance and general intent and purport is
the precedent and model Of those of the
present time. Then, We were lighting =
foreign foe, and the newspapers obtained
their information from private sources |;
now, we are engaged with domestic enc
my, and tho newspapers employ their own
correspondents to ferret out the most Sc
cret plans and movements of the army,
and therefore the reasons for action by the
Government are much stronger than in
1914:
ADJuTANT-GENERAL's OrrcE,
Philadelphia, Nov. 10, 1914.
GENERAL ORDER.-The practice of off,
GERS and men in the service writing or
otherwise communicating in relation to
the strength, the movements or determine
sion Of their corps, or any part OF the
army, except to their commanding officers,
is unmilitary and oftentimes vitality inpri
GUS to the service-it is positively forbid
den. Such communications find their way
into the newspapers, and many newspaper
find their way to the enemy.
