Iss-Two years ago the Union men of
New York, in the abundance of their lib
crafty, ran Mr.. William B. Lewis, DEM
ocrat who protested to be loyal and true,
for State Treasurer. He was elected by a
majority of 1O7,9S5. Last year Mr.. Lewis,
thinking that Seymour's faction was
bound to win, got rid of all his loyalty,
Joined the Butternuts, played second fiddle
to Seymour and his clique, was made their
candidate for the same Office, and is now
defeated by thirty odd thousand! We
think that fellow played the fool for as
small prize as our Iowa Brigadler Cen
eral, who "went to bed with Copperheads,' .
and is now blessed with the hearty curses
of the very men whose candidate he be-
came.

THE HAWK-EYE
"wednesday, .V;0rcss,ber IL.

NE~ A large number of the really patri-
otto Democrats of the land seem to have
found out, at last, that the leaders of the
party are in league with the rebels, and
have been perfdiously endeavoring to-
make traitors of the whole party. They
are also discovering the true character of
the secret organization which binds these
copperheads together, what is intended by
the secret gathering of arms, and the per-
sistent effort to induce desertion from the
army, and to prevent the recruiting of our
depleted regiments. Since our election
people have cooled down, have examined
into these matters, and have very generally
become satisfied that the treason we charg-
ed against the copperhead leaders before,
was not merely truein itself, but that it did
not fully come up to the whole extent OF the
infamy contemplated. A great many men
throughout the country who We're induced
to become members af the lowest branch Of
the conspiracy, under the impression that
it was loyal and democratic, are tindingout
that they We're controlled by an inner circle
of scoundrels, who adjusted and dictated
platforms and nominations to suit them
selves, and only awaited a suitable oppor-
tunity to break out into actual rebellion,
counting On the support OF all those who
had, unfortunately, been seduced into seem
ing completely with them.
Here and there one of the honest and 10y
al has become acquainted with the secrets
of the chiefs. He has been startled by the
boldness oftheir infamy. He is making
haste to get out of their clutches. He is
telling his democratic friends of the abyss
of hideous ruin and disaster which they
have escaped. He is warning them to avoid
association with those who are already
stepped to the crown Of the head with the
most terrible of criminal intents. He sees
the delusion under which he has acted. He
is awake, at last, and he is doing good SER
vice to the country in awakening others
who have likewise been deluded. These
things are producing good fruit. They
stimulate the loyalty and fidelity of the
people, and are rapidly placing them in
their true position. 1t does us good to see
this. We rejoice when those who have
honestly erred forsake the path which leads
to ruin, and strike hands with those who are
determined to save the Republic from utter
destruction. We know that the work is
going ON in the right direction. The folly
of the disloyal press throughout the land
its persistent display Of reasonable intent,
ensures that it will continue with still in
creasing power, until all the patriotic are
arrayed Oh oneside like band of brothers,
as they ought to be, and all the wilful and
determined traitors on the other. When
that is fully accomplished all the world
will be astonished at the smallness of the
number, and the baseness of the character
of those who are left to be counted malig-
nant Copperheads, Now is the time to do
the work. Now is the time in which to
cut loose from the ranks Of treason. The
sooner it is done the happier it will make
those feel who do it.

BURLINGTON WEEKLY HAWK-EYE.

@-The London Times, in its comments
upon the speech of Henry Ward Beecher
at Exeter Hall, says, ''there is no people
less influenced by considerations of mate
rial gain or loss than our own" That, we
think, is the hugest joke we ever heard of.
England uninfuenced by consideration Of
material gain or loss! That is about as bad
as it would be to assert that the Times it.
self is always actuated by the highest mo-
tives and is utterly careless CT base pecu-
mary influences! England, if history tells
truth of her, is influenced by nothing
higher than material results. These haye
ruled and still rule her public acts-are the
impulse..ofher wars, and the inducements to
peace. Her public men are almost as pro-
tor in Dixie. But then in their case, as in
that of the traitor, it is all talk. VS. be-
lieve there is no case on record in which
England has not proved that it's motives,
and all its motives, were as sordid and
contemplate and illiberal as they possibly
could be. Yet the Times wants us to be-
lieve that English statesmen act upon
purely honorable and moral incentives!-
If it could induce the world to believe it
what happy thing it would be!
ly~ The insanity of the genuine Butter
nut is of the most astounding sort. 1t is
not only astounding but it seems also in
durable. Even utter rout and irreparable
defeat and disaster teaches nothing to the
H.. ~, l. ~ To- no
organ of Dubuque. It has learned nothing
by the recent popular rebukes administer
ed by the people of the great States of
the North to the vile faction of which it is
the Iowa mouth piece. 1t persists in its
madness. It asserts that this rebuke is
simply the consequence of timidity, cow
ardice, evasion on the part of its confed-
crates in folly. According to that delecta-
BILE paper the defeat it has suffered was
simply because the opposition to the war,
and the love of rebels and treason were
not generally bold and defiant as they
ought to have been!
This is the reason it is able to find for its
defeat, its condemnation and infamy. And
it is well that it should do so. That is
what we ask of those who oppose the war.
Let them tell the people just what they
mean. Let the people understand them
thoroughly. A partial apprehension of
their infamous designs has brought upon
them present and practical rebuff. Let
them come out boldly and profess without
disguise just what they propose, and nine
tenths of those who lately voted the fraud
ulert "Democratic' ticket, would trample
upon it with rage. That is all that is re-
CURED to separate the chaff of treason from
the sound grain of fidelity and patriotism.

In our New Orleans files extracts from the late
message OF the rebel Governor Lubbock. OF

legislature. The Governor takes pains to ex-
press his hostility to " reconstruction The
safety OF the State and Of the insti lltion Of
slavery. be says depend upon the rigid ex-
clusiOn of all YANKEES and abolitionists" He
earnestly opposes the admission of any State
into the Contederacy whose laws do not recog
nlze aud protect negro slavery and il any one
OF the present rebel States should hereafter
abolish that Divine institution, they are to be
deemed no longer members of the hapy family

posltion to throw oil the power OF the Federal
