The RESOLUTIONS TO which he refers, and
which II seems the Colonel told his men
he wanted adopted, " with n GOODNESS and
d%eliberalion such ~ TO create the suspis
cion that he was but acting in obedience
to official instructions from headquarters,
were published in the Harrisburg Teics
grdph Of the 24th ult., and will no doubt
go the rounds Of The niggerhead organs as
the "Voicc If the Soldiers" DEC. They are
oil the most highly partisan and infiama>
tory character-and calculated, more than
any thing else, to produce disalfection and
demoralization in the army, We make
room for a single one, as showing the char
acter Of the whole:
RESIDED, that we ~recongnize. the fearful
struggle the country is snow engaged in rs
astruggle offIeedom against slavery right
against wrong Of God against Satan and
we hold those who are against the Admins
istration as against the Government, a.
gainst right, against the Constitution and
the glorious liberties Of which it is the
guarantee and we brand them as traitors,
while we assure them of our unmitigated
hatred ard contempt.
Thus we are told that, all are TRAITORS"
who oppose the administration ~ Not
to cry amen" to its every act--whether
right or yrong-is treason This is more
than is required Of his subjects by any
other despot that now disgraces the earth.
Is it any wonder, then, that intelligent
and reflective men in the ranks-like Mr..
CARR-should feel alarmed for their couns
try when the army-or rather the Cabinet
at Washington-undertake to dictate to
the Northern people their politics?"
For the information OF and
10 shoy them that this is no 'copperhead"
production ~ we will here state that Mr.. c.
was one of the most ardent and efficient
supporters of Lincoln in 1860, and as far
rs our knowledge extends, has no affinity
whatever with the Democratic party.
BADLY HuRT.-The niggerhead organ OF
last week, through the medium of one of
its assistant editors, seems sorely e1orcis-
ed over our viudication of those Demos
cratic Senators who had the nerve to stand
up in their places in tho Senate Chamber
ct Harrisburg, and demand of the domi-
~neering majority of that body that the
same honor they proposed extending TO
Governor Johnson Of Tennessee, and ex.
Governor Wright of Indiana, shodld like
wise be extended TO that distinguished
Pennsylvania, Major General GEORGE B.
Mcclellan. Because that majority refus-
ed to do so, the Democratic Senators man.
fully opposed the resolution, and in doing
so, we fec! assured that each M Of them
hae won the hearty appreciation OF his con.
stituents. This is the whole story.
The ass istant writhcs and squirms,
twists and turns, as he alone can do in any
dirty scrape, forcibly reminding one Of the
very descriptive language of John Ran,
dolph, that The stinks and shines, and
shines and stinks like y rotten mackarel
by moonlight"
The niggerhead organ states that M,
Laurence Ia Republican offered an amend
ment," dc, that the use of the hall be
rendered to Gen. George B. Mcclellan
When the "ass" editor so deliberately at
temp,s to practice deception, he should
at least try to cover up his tracks, ltwa:
Mr.. Lamberton Of Clarion-a Democrat
that offered the resolution, and yet the
asses Of the Journal would eudeavor to inS
duce their readers to believe that there
was at least one Republic Senator who
could sink the partisan in the patriot
enough to extend to Gen. Mcclellan the
same honor they offered to men Of their
own party, (See Legislative Record, No.
