the firm of "Tippecanoe and Tyler too"
some unwashed Democrats in Rhode ISL
ond fomented grand instruction against
the sovereignty of that large and popu-
lous State. The army and Navy of the
United States, by hearty cooperation
with the "loyalists of that day, soon
overthrow the insurgents. Their provi-
sional governor-Thomas w. D0rr--was
captured, denied the right of a as.belliger-
ent," and sent to the penitentiary. j.
The Democratic party, the cause, was
abolished, as all subsequent elections have
shown, throughout she United States,
since when no speek of rebellion has been
known within the vast limits of that loyal
State. The rebellion in Utah, which oc-
CURED during the reign of the Old Public
Functionary, is too recent to be forgotten.
The cause is no doubt fresh in the memo.
ry Of every maiden lady in the loyal States.
The republican instincts of our people
would not tolerate monopoly in heavens
1last best gift to man." General Albert
Sidney Johnston was sent to Utah with
instructions to conquer the conjugal spirit
of Brigham. The Mormon war ended glo-
riosly to our arms. The cause was re-
moved. Harems are now unk own among
the latter day saints, and Brigham, like
some lone bird without mate, "refuses to
be comforted." In Europe, protracted
and sanguinary civil wars have cften re-
suited from differences of opinion in regard
to the true mode Of construiug the Bible,
and especially concerning the operations
of the Holy Ghost. They have failed to
abolish the one or deny the other; the
result is that a few countries in Europe
maintain the quiet which usually prevails
along the Rappahannock.
It should not be overlooked that our
people were very ignorant or they would
never have been deceived by the treasona-
Bile enemies, North and South, Of Four no.
BILE President.
It was falsely charged that he and his
party friends did not desire to suppress
the rebellion without first subverting the
rights Of the States: freeing all the slaves
and elevating them to political equality
with the whites. Our people, being of
course very ignorant, believed all these
false, scandalous, and malicious state
ments; and among the resolutions you will
adoptat your meeting, there should be one
thanking his excellency, our most approx
ed President, for the effectual means he
has adopted to give strength and moral
power to the Union men and women of
the South, while at the same time he has
shown how wickedly false and libelous
were the allegations Of southern traitors
and northern Copperheads that he inten-
ded to use the army and navy to abolish
slavery The Union men of the South
will ever gratefully cherish the name and
memory of one who, by q scrupuleus re-
gard of his official and other pledges, and
his manly adherence to the Chicago plat
form, has vindicated the truth Of all the
pledges which from time to time are made
on his behalf; and the traitors and Copper
heads who thus falsely charged our great
and good President with designing to sab:
vert the institutions ofthe Southern States
must henceforth hide their faces in shame
/ You should by no means fail to adopt
with wild acclamation, mingled witha few
'tbully hallelujahs," resolution severely
denunciatory of those who criticlse oul
