mon Pure" patriots, and the responsible
ty Of this wicked war rests upon Mr.. LIN
COLIN and his friends. A man that is ghill
ty Of all kind and manner Of political
trickery, in his feeble efforts to hombug
the people, we arc not all astonished in
the course he has taken. There is ono
consolation, that the intelligent masses
OF the people are as we'll informed in re-
gard TO the origin Of the rebellion, and
where the responsibility belongs, as the
editor Of tho Advertiser. 1t is all folly
for you to attempt to try to make the
people believe that the sun rises and sets
in your editorial sanctum. II won't do
in the present crisis. That day has gone
by, and you can depend that fearful
retribution awaits you and all the Val
landigham symp athiscrs. The people
will allow such traitors as V allandigham
and his friends TO remain at home--they
will keep them in such position where
they cannot accomplish mischief--whero
they cannot throw impediments in the
way Of the Government, in its present
struggle to put down this wicked rebel.

But as regards the abandonment OF the
Democratic party, the would-be-Secreta-
ry of State and office-hunter, occupies
nearly one column aud half, to prove
that il is necessary to maintain the or
ganization Of the Locofoco party, to save
our Government from destruction, which
the leaders of said party, when they had
control of our national affairs, done all
that was in their power to ruin il, aud
place the government in the hands Of
traitors. We publish the following ex-
tract from his long windy attempt to
hood.wink the pcoplc-it being the only
item in the article worth noticing. Hear
him--hc is a devil of a man, and could
not expect different response from an
Office bcggar:
care YOU" asks the Tifiin Tribune Of
us ,"willing to abandon all party ties for
the sake of preserving the Union!" We
answer emphatically that if we thought
the dlsbandment of the Democratic par-
ty was essential to the preservation of
the Union, we would work zeulously and
steadily for its abandonment.
Very well. 1t is high lime you should
60 to work, and discard your political Or
ganization. The leading traitors in your
party have almost succeeded in sending
our country to the devil. You know Just
as well Us any man in Seneca ccunly,
that, that arch old scoundrcl, JAMys
BUCHANAN, and portion Of his cabinet,
that the responsibility Of this cursed re-
bcllion rests upon their shoulders. The
crime does not rest upon the main body
of the Democratic party, but upon the
leaders who were seeking Office and turn
ed traitors to cur Government. Are not
these stubborn factsl Dare you deny
them! We don't mean to bc misunder-
stood and will maintain what we assert
by true facts. We have lnevcr said or
thought for moment that the whole
Democratic psrty were all TRAIToRs!-
Not at all. We have always believed
and believe now, that the main body, at
least threc.fourths Of the party, who
never expect any special advancement or
promotion, by keeping up the organiza-
ton of the party, arc as TRUE PATRIOTS
as ever lived, and thousands OF them arc
now proving itwith their muskets in their
hands on the battlefield. These Demo-
Gratis have no sympathy with you or Val
landigham, but have love, devotion to
the Constitution and the Government,by
taking Up arms in its defense. They are
not lying around home with the cxpecta-
ton of feeding at the public crib as you
and VALLANDIGHAM are doing. Their mot
to is, preserve cur Government first, and
attend TO party and politics when this
rebellion is put down. These patriotic
Democrats now in the army are not howl
ing around, the "Constitution as il is, and
the Union as il was" but are fighting for
the preservation Of the Constitution and
the Union. Here are few facts for the
little oilice-huntcr and Vallandigham
sympathiscr to digest
Did not the Democratic party elect
PIERCE and BUCHANAN Presidents! Was
not jeff Davis Pierce's Secretary OF
War! and were not Cobb, Floyd, Thomp-
son and Yancey all traitors in Buchan-
aus Cabinctl And where is there one
Of the whole infamous crow of traitors,
that are now leading and heading this re-
bellion, that did not support tho election
of PIERCE and BUCHANAN, and sustained
every corrupt aud reasonable measure of
their administrations! Perhaps the edi-
tor Of the A dperiiser can enlighten his
) readers on this important matter, II ia
necessary that he should do so, and let
them know that the sympathisers in the
North with these scoundrels and traitors
are trying to shuttle of the Responsible
ty of creating this rebellion. There is
where the responsibility rests, and when
the history of this war /, written, the re-
sponslblity will be laid where 1t properly
belongs---on the shoulders Of these lead
ing Democratic traitors
There is no doubt, that the war againsi
the Government is waged for the purpos,
OF compelling radical change in the
. Constitution, which shall nationaiize sla
: very and extend il for all practical pur
