What have we in America
We've wonders great and grand
Wo have the essence Of the earth,
The cream of every land.

Our rivers immense,
And each man has n kingly style,

Our ships are knewn to all the world
The farms cannot be beat;
Our cities, full of luxury
Are famous for the neat.
We've orators and authors, too

Democratic Unionisn.

The Cincinnati Eaqutrer, of Saturday
last, publishes what purports to be rese-
lutions Of q Onion meeting in Washing
ton County, Ky. We do not know, Of
course, whether the resolutions were
ever passed at meeting in Ky, or were
cotton up by the Enquires. But, in
either case, they could only have been
conceived ID the brain of traitor to his
country.
After denouncing the loyal members
Of the Senate and House Of Representa-
tives--those who support the Govern
ment against the traitors in rebellion
the resolution proceeds in these words:
/" We, therefore, denour,ce them as TRAI-
TORS, and their prey osed legislation, as
TIE vilest TREASON, and ace INDoRsE and
APPLAUD The patriotic efforts of our zen
cradle aud able Representative from this
District, the Hon. c. a. Hickl.69, directed
agaiast their malignant, and reasonable,
and repengeful legislation; and aoe also &C.
tepd our hearty approbation 10 the Hon.
Garrett Daufs, IL the Senate, and zoe here
aro1o, that thsy truly represent the seati-
m,ents of the Union men Of this State. .
So, then, according to this Union
meeting, indorsed by ,he Enquirer, the
Senate and House Of Representatives,
with the exception Of the little Fallan-
digham clique, are "the rilestcf traitors,
|--and none but such as follow in the
lead of WickliT aud Davis, are Union
men sf the Enquirer stripe.
We published, last week, from the
Nashville Union, the position occupied
by these men. Mr.. Davis announced IN
the Senate as his deliberate sentiments,
and proclaimed his purpose to appeal to
his constituents to sustain him in the
position, that it was the right of his
State, or his party, or any individual
member thereof, upon his own motion,
to pronounce any law of Congress un-
constitutional, and to resist its execu
tion by all the means in his power, and
that he would appeal to the people Of
KY. to so resist the laws passed by Con
gress, of which he and his little squad
of self-styled conservatives did moi
approve. Neither Mason, nsr Slidell
nor Breckinridge, nor any other of the
open nullifera, ever uttered sentiments
so distinctly reasonable, upon the fool
of the Senate, as this man Davis, who i!
so emphatically indorsed by this pre-
tended Union meeting, and the Cincin
rati Enquirer.

is curiosity, coming from the sourc
it does. Itesmreaess It thus:

For the Pomeroy Weekly Telegraph.
HARTFORD CITY, MASON Co, VA, I
June Sth, 1862.

Mr. Editor:--In a former communica-
tion written for the Telegraph, from this
place, we endeavored to show the i'm
portance and necessity of moral courage,
and especially at this time, with regard
to the great question now before the
American people. We mean the sla-
very question, which is, really, the great
problem now in the hands of this ma
ton for solution, and must shortly be
settled, either pro or con. In that com
munication we asserted that it was for
the want of moral courage that men
dreaded SO much the epithet Abolition
ist, and that the horrible specters that
seemed to haunt the term, were lot real,
but imaginary-and that an Aboli-
zionist was not that dreadful monster
with seven heads and ten horns that we
might suppose some thought him to be,
&c.
In the present communication we wish
to call the attention of your numerous
readers to the stand point taken by some
of the best and greatest men that our
country has ever boasted of, on this
qsases.ion. And, frst, we call the atten-
tion to the sayings of Geo. Washington,
the Father OF our country, greater,
Ipurer, and nobler patriot than whom
never adorned the councils of any ma
ton. And he has borne unmistakea BILE
testimony against this great curse and
crime, and we have but little doubt that
if he lived and wrote to day what he
did then, he would be denounced by
those vile traitors and their sympa-
thizers who are laboring to break mp the
Government, as an Abolitionist But let
us hear what he does say.
In letter to John T. Mercer, dated
Sept. 9th, 1856, General Washington
says:
81 never mean, unless compelled to
it by some particular circumstances, to
own another slave by purchase, it being
among my first wishes to see some plan
adopted by which slavery in this coun-
try may be abolished by law!"
Now, my friends, permit me to call
your attention, in particular, to the
above. Here we see man who is ad-
mitted, by all lovers of our country, to
be one Of the best and purest of patriots,
only ten years after the declaration OF
Indepe ndence, and about the closing up
of the revolutionary struggle, saying,
in the first place, that he would not pur-
chase any more slaves unless he was
compelled to it by the force of eircum
stance. Others might do it, and thus
incur the guilt of trading in the souls
and bodies of men; but, as for him, never!
And do you say that Geo. Washington

obliged to take up arms to avenge the
insult, cast upon them by the people,
and to take by force what they could
not get any other why. You refused
to aid them, and many of you sent yoar
sons to Fight them. This faotiouEness
Of yours, made it unsafe for Medary and

brethren" openly. Bat they could get

rem" were restored 60 power. They
could only be restored to power through
the instrumentality Of the Democratic
party. But how could they trust you,
WHO had sent your sons to fight these
same ''Sonthern brethren?" You might
play the same Douglas game over again,
if allowed TO participate in the Conven- :
tion. Your own sense Of propriety,
therefara, must show you that common
prudence russired that you should not
be allowed to take any part in the mat
ter. The party ruAst be "re-oonstructed
on such principles as to secure the OBJ
liect of those who manage it. This eb-
ljeet requires that the platform and can
Edidates be made, and selected by those
who are fully 'sinitiated," and have taken
all the adegrces. Any other policy
would defeat the object of"re-eoHstruct-
ing" the parity
We thiak, therefore, yoa will see the
propriety of keeping perfectly still, un-
til after the plans are matured. You
can then vote the ticket, and the candi
dates, if elected, will see that the ode
crees" are all carried out It would be
manifestly improper to let you know
what those "decrees" are, for all you
have to do in the premises, is to vote
the ticket, aud swear that whatever may
be done is "pure Democracy"
But, if you wont do this, and will in
sist upon having part in the choice of
your candidates, we warn you before-
hand that yon will be considered no
better than uncenditienal Union men,
who, in the coming campaign, are to be
denounced as Abol tioniste, without re-
gard to past or present party principles
or attachments. And besides, if you
can sacrifice your sons for the good Of
the country, can you not sacrifice sc
much of your manhood for the success
of a party? The country could not be
saved without the sacrifice of your sons
And your patriotism enabled you te
give them up joyfully for that end
The schemes Of Vallandigham and his
followers cannot be carried into success
without the sacrifice of your manhood
But they have baptised those schemes
ia the name Of Democracy. You have
been Democrats. Can't yeu, therefore,
sacrifice your manhood at the bidding
of these men. when they call upon you
in the name Of Democracy? No matter

purposes at which they aim, when they
cab them Democracy, they expect you
