ernment in danger of burning down,
why not when the property Of only a
few loyal men is on fire?
The Eagle, for the nine hundred and
ninety ninth time warns and threatens
the Union men, and continues its new
hing and puking over the wrongs and
insults of its party. Wrongs and in
suits When in the very same breath
it had uttered and published against
the Union men what it knew to be lie
and slander. This is precisely the
course of the rebels. They insulted the
people of the North by calling them
"mudsills," "greasy mechanics" and
small listed farmers" they questioned
the virtue of Northern women; they
usurped the profits and honors of Of
fee and dominated the nation and in
the same breath charged the North
with wronging the South. So these
men, deliberately slandering the Union
men, usurping the Offices and ruling the
county and the city, turn about, and
with the insolenco and efIrontery Of
the rebels, charge the Union men with
wronging and insulting them. awe
are men," they say, OF some of the
leaders in this county, this is true, but
with the majority, their manhood is as
questionable as their loyalty.
The Union men will pay little atten-
ton to these threats, but will be ready
for emergencies. They arc calm, and
waiting, like a lion couchant, and who
darcs to rouse them? Let them stand
firm and do their duty. The people
are sick Of these wicked men, and are
ready to spew them out. There is ter
ror and despair in the ranks Of the Cop
perheads as there is terror and despair
in the dominions olrebellion As JEFF
ferson Davis invcnts the vilest ISLANDERS
and falschoods to excite the passions
of the people Of the South against the
North, so do these men to excite the
preludices and passions Of their party
against the friends of the Union. As
Jefferson Davis in his impotcnt rage
makes the most terrible threats, so
these men in their impotcnt rage threat,
en- the friends ofthe Union AS Jcffcr'
son Davis makes the most frantic ap'
peaIs to the people Of the South to stand
by him, so these men make frantic ap'
peals to the members of their party
not to desert them But all TO no pur
pose, for the two causes are joined to
gethor like the Siamcsc twins and they
must die together.
We conclude, like the Eagle, with
solemn warning. Remember that Il
lie cannot live forever, and that liar
shall have their portion in the LAKE
that burns with fire and birthstone.
