ocratic party, and passed the same, Col.
Bartilson aud Capt. Robinson not vot.
ing at all, but feeling indignant at the
insult offered. Yet the coucocters Of
these ISLANDERS had the impudenco to
falsely print the resolutions as being en-
dOrsed by Col BartilSon and Capt.
Robinson. Both these gentlemen have
since voluntarily notified us that they
never endorsed one word Of these slam
ders uttered against their party, and
had it not been that they were invited
guests at this dinner, they would have
denounced them aud their authors on
the spot as calumniators.
Col. Bartilson and Capt. John j.
Robinson are now here at home, and
any person donbting what we say, can
soon satisfy himself by irquiring of them.
Well now if men are so lost to all
sense Of honor as 10 falsely put their own
brother officers in false position, what
wont they do with the private soldiers! !
1t il well known that the last Demo.
cratic State Convention was the largest
ever held in Ohio, aud represented in
their platform and resolutions the uni.
versal sentiment Of TWO HUNDRED THOU
SAND patriotic, Uuion.lovi Democrats
Of the State, an army Of itself larger than
those commanded by Gen'Is Grant and
Rosecrans combined. Yet in the face
Of this few tricky, nnprincipled Re.
publcans, to further their own private
ends, haze just published an address con-
tanning most infamous ISLANDERS on the
whole Of these two hundred thousaLd d
Democrats of Ohio. We give one ex.
tract from it, thus:
"Their last hope Is from Northern
sympathi7ers; without that their cause
is hopeless. And while we hurl back
with indignant contempt the false sym
puthy expressed for soldiers in the field,
by resolution adopted in the platform
of the copperhead party Of Ohio, ut It's
late Convention in Columbus, we can
plunly see that the mask by which Sa.
tan deceived our first parents may hide
u DEVILS face, but fails for its damning
purpose on q copperhead's. We de.
nouace, as foul traitors, deserving our
hiSSes of scorn, those who most shame
fully, uublushingly and heartlessly talsi'
fed by expressing such n sentiment, aud
then committed the unpard enable insult
of nominating for Governor for oul
State, and for our sutferage as such, tn,
Infamous, the seditious aud traitorou:
VulIandigham."
And as they did with Col, BartilSor
and Capt. Robinson, so have they dom
with the privates, for we find they hav
copied the muster rolls of the regiment
and all are put forth endorsing thei
foul ISLANDERS and calumnies on the EN-
G tire Democratic party, inclusive OF tn
. fathers, brothers and relatives and friend
r of these soldiers themselves.
o But these slandering abolition officer
-. overdo the thing themselves. Read thi
+. extract from their foul address. The
say:
"Be not deceived with the cry ofAt

o acts, from those who have contribute
I nothing to the support of the war, br
!, who have steadily withheld all voluntaT

: 1t is known to every man In Carol

that the above charge is false and wicI
,, ed in every particular 1t is within u
remembrance Of all that Democrats on
