It has become practice among Re-
publican officers in the army, in. order
to facilitate their own promotion and
aggrandizement, to get up an address
I'd or resolutions abusing the Democratic
party or some one Of its leading men,
F. then get the muster rolls and copy off
the names of the privates, attach them
to the address and send tito aRepQb-
sican paper to print, and finally send
z a copy of the paper to the Governor or
the President, marked. Ina few
days after this the President or Gov
crnor receives an application wit h re-
concentrations for the promotion ex-
pected. ,s,rr ar sls-1ta tta.sh.u .
nd This dirty practice originatedamong
+, the abolition officers from New England
in the Potomac army, a year ago, and
has since been commenced in the Ten
nessee and Mississippi armies. Some
officers in the 51st recently tried the
d trick, but spoiled the job by putting
to the resolutions the names of some
soldiers who had died or been dischar-
ged, We forget which. ssa <a' ...
oe Last spring some Republican officers
in the s0th Ohio invited !Col. Bartil-
son and Capt. John J. Robinson to a
dinner, given to Capt. Goodrich
Regardless of all decency they con-
coctcd some slanderous resolutions
against the Democratic party, and pass
ed the same, Col. Bartilson and Capt.
4 Robinson not voting at all, but feeling
indignant at the insult offered. Yet
the concocters OF these SANDERS had
the impudence to falsely print the res
olution as being endorsed by Col. Bar
tilson and Capt. Robinson. Both
these gentlemen have since voluntarily
notified us that they never endorsed
one word of these ISLANDERS uttered
against their party, and had it not
been that they were invited guests at
this dinner, they would have denoun-
ced them and their authors on the spot
as calumniators. al+ .r
a Col. Bartilson and Capt. John J.
Robinson are now here at home, and
any person doubling what we say, can
soon satisfy himself by inquiring Of
them. Js.. nj --
. Well now if men are so lost to all
seLse of honor as to falsely put their
own brother officers in false position,
what wont theydo with the private
soldiers?
1t is we'll known that the last Dem
ocratic State Convention was the lar
gest ever held in Ohio, and represen-
ted in their platform and resolutions
the universal sentiment of TWO HUN
DRIED THOUSAND patriotic, Union-lov-
ing Democrats Of the State, an army
of. itself larger than those commanded
. 7 Generals Grant and Rosecrans
combined. Yet in the face of this a
" few tricky, unprincipled Republicans,
to further their own private ends, have
Just published an address containing
most infamous slanders on the whole
of these two hundred thousand Dem
ocrats Of Ohio. We give one extract
from it, thus: e...a. - u.H
"Their last hope is from Northern
sympathizers; without that their cause
is hopeless. And while we hurl back
with indignant contempt the false SYM
pathy expressed for soldiers in the
field, by resolution adopted in the
platform Of the copperhead party of
Ohio, at its late Convention in Colum-
bus, We can plainly see that the mask
,by which Satan deceived our first pa
rents may hide a devils face, but fails
for its damning purpose on q copper
heads. We DENoUNcE as foul traitors,
deserving our Kisses OF scoRN, those
who most shamefully, unblushingly
and heartlessly FALsIFIEp by express
ing such sentiment, and then commit
ted ,he objectionable insult of nomi-
mating for Governor for our State, and
for our suffrage as such, the Infamous,
the seditious and traitorous Vallan-
dighan."' ao,a, =.
And as they did with Col. Bartil-
son and Capt. Robinson, SO have they
done with the privates, for we find
they have copied the muster rolls of
the regiment, and all are put forth en-
dorsing their foul ISLANDERS and calum>
nies on the entire Democratic party,
inclusive Of the fathers, hrothers and
relatives and friends of these soldiers
themselves. s, a. ,.s -4.

Abolitionism, or charge of unconstitu-

Aributed nothing to the support of the
war, but who have steadily withheld
all voluntary aid to both government
and soldiers" /" s ...
It is known to every man in Carroll,
fTuscarawas and Coshocton counties,
that the above charge is false and
wicked in every particular. 1t is
within the remembrance of all that
Democrats and Republicans all cons
tributed alike in money, clothing,
blankets, stockings and everything
else to the 80th, Regiment while at
Camp Meigs, and when the regiment
was leaving, a small sum of the contri-
