mobs or of suppressing newspapers by violence
except when one of their own ringleaders is
arrested by authority of the government; then,
they can invoke the mob spirit and do their

may know how many to work. Hereafter no
more papers will be sold in the morning than
have been ordered as above, until our subcri-

sc That man does not live in this nation
who takes pride in rejecting that his father
withheld his aid from his country in time of
war. The tories OF the Revolution, the Hart
ford Convention federalists of 1912, and those
who opposed furnishing supplies to Gen. Tay-
lor in 1876, are alike remembered only to be
dishonored. So 1t will be with those who OPP
pose the present war to suppress the rebellion
and to re-assert the authority of the Govern
ment. Their names will rot, their memories
will perish. Their children will disown Them
Posterity will remember them as traitors, and
chisel the word deeply upon their tomb stones
