The Two classes OF Men.
We have the curious fact before us that
nearly every prominent man from the South,
who has feashe tyranny and oppression of
Secession is now. openly advocating the
election of unconditional supporters of the
Government ia the loyal States ParSon
Brownlow in his rough but brilliant way is
doing all he cam Congressman Hamilton,
from Texas, in bis. polished and states
man-like way, is doing all be cam Rev.
Mr.. Carter. of East Tennessee, ia his grave
and plaintiff way is doing all becau: Hon.
Joseph Holt, of. Ky, writes even to MASS
aehusetts deprecatine any division there.
The late editor of che yieksburE, Mississippi
Wig, has arrived at Chicago, and makes
a powerful appeal to the people of the
West from that city. The Rev. Mr.. Aughey,
from the same State, who spoke at the
great mass meeting IN New York, the
other night, conjured the people of the
North TO stand by theeforts ofthe Govern
mept tolput down this rebellion, as these
efforts were the only hope. Emerson Bthe-
ridge, ofTennessee, one of the most hon.
ored and most trusted of Southern men,
writes in similar strain to his friends.
The Nashville Union, the organ of Gov
eynor Andrew Johusoni appealsito the peo-
pie Of the North TO knowsno divisiou-to
see, to,it that the head Of faction does, not
rearitstts hesd-that no pretended friend Of
the Government. but real sympathiser
with secession, is elected. -sTs- -
These men are not all. But they are
enough. What would the voice ofJohn NJ.
Bolts say to-day to us here in Western vir-
ginia, could it reach us from his cell in pris-
ONT What would the voice ofthousauds of
gallant men who wander in the mountains
of East Tennessee, say to us, could we
hear them. Would they not unite with the
voices of Brownlow, and Carter and Ethe-
ridge aud Others from that couutry2 We
know. they would. These menrhave suit
fsted. They know what secession means.
They know ail'its hopes aud how it longs
for division among the people of the loyal
States. No wonder that these loyal South
erners are alarmed at the symptoms of de
vision. They see the danger with the eyes
ofprophets, aud they cry aloud in the ears
of loyal people, conjuring them to frown
down at once such seditious efforts.
Are these men Abolitiouistsf Can loyal
men be hoodwinked by this epithet while
tee sound of these appeals from the men of
the South are in their ears? Can they for
get that these men are nearly all slayehold-
ers-that they were born aad reared among
slaYsry-that they have no prsjudices
against the institution farther than it is
used by the rebels as an element of strength
Shalt the odious epitbet, in the mouths of
designing men, be fatal for destruction, and
the appeals Of these patriotic Southerners
be of no avail for our salvation? Strange
if this should come to passl Strange that
voices like Dickinson and Dix, Bancroft
and Tod, .oass and Mcolerpaud, Logan and
wallace, Rosecrans and Sigel, Meagher aud
Cochran, every one Democrats, We believe,
and most of them conspicuous leaders
should be united in vain to.the appeals of
the men from the South whom We have
named. Compare them for moment With
such men as Seymour aud Fernando Wood,
of New York, vallandigham and Cox, of
Ohio, Voorhees, and Petit, of Indiana, Car
lille, of Western Virginia, and Hughes, Of
Pa. Gan d loyal man doubt to where duty
calls him when he compares this array r.

We should think not. It will not do TO cry
abolition as means of putting down this
comparison. Every man who reads knows
thattbs most unmeaniug word of Indian
gibberisR might just as appropriately
be employed against the patriotic men,
whose names we have mentioned, as the
word abolition. What misfortune then
tits that men whose loyalty is unquestion-
ed, whose intentions are honest and
patriotic should not always keep before
their minds q Comparison of the kind of
msnswho are enIistedf might apd main on
the side ofthe Government, with the set Of
men who are endeayoring to supplant the
loyalty of the people by destroying their
confidence in the Government. There is
tbsRhole bteadthof theskies between the
charaetersy private and public, of the two
classes of men. e . ai'ss eas
