una;nching patriotism. These men do not
.buse democrats. They are generally demo-
or.to themselves. They abuse no man who is
heartily for crushing the foul conspiracy Of
southern traitors against the Union but they
do denounce those northern men whose efforts
are solely directed, in this time of national
neril and calamity to embarrassing the gov
