best to revive the old, or worse issues, and
to draw party lines. They may as well re-
lioquish their efforts. The great political
tempest which is the direct outgrowth of the
rebellion, is separating the wheat and the
chaff. Between the patriotic masses and
the demagogues great gulf is widening.
On the one side is arrayed those "uncon-
ditioDal Uuion men," who love their gov.
ernment because it is free one, and pro-.
tects its people in the enjoyment and exer.
else of their God given rights-because it
promotes good order and good citizenship,
and the best and highest interests of the
race-because it encourages the growth Of
the better, phases of humanity, and per-
forms it's part in bringing on that political
millennium when the poorest man shall be
the peer Of king. sa1 Hef
On the other side we have class of men
who, it must be from purely personal and
partisan motives, exert all their influence to
embarrass the Government and loyal men
in their efforts to put down the rebellion.-
What they intend TO do is known only to
themselves and to their creator. What they
do do is known to oil observing people
They 10 accomplish vast deal Of mischief.
They encourage, indirectly, the rebels to
persist in their rebellion, and such o T them
as Vallandingham, encourages them direct
ly and openly, by suggestions of compro-
misses and amnesty. The Influence Of the
Cincinnati Enquirer. and papers of that
class, is more hurtful and pernicieus in
Kentucky and Tennessee, than the most bold
faced and undisguised emmisaries OF JEFF.

J The men at the North Who compose this
class are the meanest and most despisable
Of ,secessionists. They have not the con-
sideraticn of personal interest to excuse
them. They sympathis and cooperate
with JEFF. Davis out Of sspure cussedness, !"
out of their innate and contemplate mean
ness of disposition and impulse. They de.
serve to be Stunned BY all decent people,
They are moral lepors, and their contact
should bs deemed corrupsing.
Therei is 40 infalllble test by which these
claim that the Abolitionists caused the war,
and to divert the hemp from their own un-
godly necks, declare that all the Republi-
cans should be hung. They are tremen-
dously patriotic. Thev are as good Union
men as anybody, BUT! Indeed, their
ssbuts'' are much the most important part
Of them. They are huge and NM ieldly,
like that Of the hippotamus-orli like that Of
Humphrey Marshall. They wish to sustain
the government, BUT! They want to put
down the rebels, BUT! They want to be
patriots and good citizens, BUT-thsy are
not, and will not be! When one sees or
hears one Of the ssbuts" he may be sure OF
his man-of . traitor, q coward, . mean
spirited whelp, un6t to associate with .

Into these two classes is society being d.
vidsd by the war, and it becomes every cit
izen to array himself on one side or the oth-
er-with whole-soaled, unconditional, ,uuion
loving patfiots, or with halting, cowardly,
half -hearted, or no hearted partisans, a.
most completely disguised BY their "buts."
The patriots and decent men will always be
10 the majority. No good man need fear
for the failure. There are always scoun.
drels in the community, but it may be re-
lied upon that the decent men Will outyots
them. A
