The Ashland county Democracy, at

the Ashland Union by the Abolitionists,
the old enemies of the Constitution and
the Union, are evidences that that paper
is on the right track, and worthy the

The Despotism in the North.

SiEce the order for draft, the despot-
ism in the North has became more gal
ling than ever. Every one who is sus-
pected of the least sympathy with the
South is hunted down like wild bessts.-
The following extract froma New York
paper shows the temper of the North:
We have among US large number of
traitors-.men who would gladly assist
the rebels now in arms against the gov
eminent, if they could do so with safety
to themselves. The time has come when
it becomes the duty of loyal men to look
after these miscreants. No man has a
right to live among us who is rot of us
and for us in this trying hour of our ma
tional existence--not so, however, with
the sneaking and skulking vagabonds
who roam among us enjoying the advan-
tages Of government for whose down
fall they labor in secret. Let every one
of these rascals be locked up or expelled
at once.
