A Soldiers Opinion Of Copper
heads.

The following extract ofa letter from .
soldier in the 1st Ohio regiment furnishes
an excellent description of the politicians
referred to:
"You havs asked me what thought OF
Of the copperheads. will give you not
my sentiments alone, but those Of tho army
at large. -
We consider the copperhead as 0 traitor,
q liar, a robber and coward.
A traitor, We cafl him, because he is ex-
erting every effort to destroy the lawful and
legitimate government of the country.
We call him liar, because he is falsify-
ing the motives Of the government, tho ar
my, and every true patriot.
Shall we not call him robber, when he is
attempting to rob the soldier Of his hard
earned laurels, s,-laurels won at the price Of
blood in the noble cause Of liberty and their
country. s@'
We Justly brand them as dasterds and
coisards. because, in the hour of their coun-
try's need, they feared to 60 forth to battle
for the right. They chose to stay at home
to see their country ruined, rather than ex.
po&e themselves to danger and now, like =

source to cover their shame

cleaning house, to receive company
or cook dinner, We give the following
receipts for making whitewash, taken
from the late number of the Rurai

used.
White chalk is the best substitute

and in the morning is carifdlly heated
without scorching, until desolved.
The Paris White is stirred in with
hot water enough to give il the milky
consistency for applying to the walls.
and the disolsed glue is then added
and thoroughly mixed. It is then
applied with a brush like the common

"Again, look at another item, and one,
be assured, in which we have great and
vital interest; it is that of revenue, or
means Of supporting government. From
official documents, we learn that q fraction
over three-fourths of the revenue collected
for the support of government has uniform

"Pause DOW while you can, gentlemen,
and contemplate and carefully and candid
ly these importan:: items. Look at an other
necessary branch of government, anG learn
from stern statistical facts how matters
stand in that department. I mean the mail
and postofice privileges that we now enjoy
under the general government sit has
been for years past. The expense for the
transportation of mail in the free States
was, by the report of the Postmaster Gener-
al for the year 1860, a little over $4,000,

But in the slave States the transportation Of

deficit Of $6,115,735, to be supplied by the
North for eur accommodation, and without
it we must have been entirely cut off from
this most essential branch of government.
"Leaving out OF view, for the present,
the countless millions of dollars you must
expend in war with the North with tens
of thousands Of your sons and brothers
slain in battle, and offered up as sacrifices
upon the alter of your ambition, and for
what, we ask again Is it for the over
throw of the American government, estab-
lished by our common ancestry, cemented
and built up by their sweat and blood, and
founded on the broad principles of Right,
Justice, and Humanity And, as such,
must declare here, as have done before,
and which has been repeated by the great
est and wisest of statesmen and patriots in
this and other lands, that it is the best and
freest goyernment-the most equal in its

Degeneracy of the Democratic

repeat, that the elements that
consummated the great victory in
Rhode Island. New Hampshire, and
Connecticut, are at work in every
other quarter, and can no more be
resisted or avoided than the air we
breathe and the light that shines
from heaven. I assert, also, that there
is not now one acknowledged living
principle of the old Democracy hon.
esty maintained by its present leads
ers. Not one. Who ever heard of
the apostles Of the Democracy going
down upon their knees before the
British minister, and asking him to
interfere in favor Of the separation of
these States Think of Geo. M. Dal-
las, old Henry Horn, Silas Wright,
William Allen, Thomas H. Benton,
seeking midnight interviews with a
British, plenipotentiary, while the
Southern stakeholder cut-throats, with
daggers drawn, were assailing the
very life ofthe Republic, aud implor,.
ing that hanghty nobleman to induce
his monarch to send troops to aid
these cut throats, and TO- overpower
their own neighbors and friends,
fighting for the flag of their country |
The whole theory of Democracy, in
their day was the strongest measures
should be used to save the Union.
It would be monstrous if the over
whelming logic contained in these
plain facts did not dispel the prejudi'
ces even Of the most obdurate parti.
san and it is extraordinary that they
have not produced a more general
conversion of patriotic men. Yet let
us be satisfied. Truth operates some
times slowly, but always surely and
permanently. It cures, when it does
cire forever. Let us congratulate our
selves that we hear Of no Republicans
joining the present Democratic party,
while we know, daily, that thousands
and tens of thousands Of Democrats
are leaving an organization foully per-
verted from its original purposes and
principles. If we can not induce all
the people to prefer country TO party,
we can at least hold enough to the
old flag to save the Republic, even for
those who are ready to consent to its
annihilation.-J w Eorney, Up Phi.
