Meeting Of the Club.


At the REGULAR meeting OF the Demo-
cratic Club, Of this place, ON Saturday
evening, several new members signed its
Constitution. After some business, con-
corning the CInb, was transacted, Geo.
W. Oatman, Esq. was called upon, who
addressed the meeting very elaborately.
He said he had listened to gentlemen
in the Union League. who endorsed The
Administration ana asked that fine be
given it that it might demonstrate its
policy. He thought the Administration
had had time sufficient, long since, 10
have ended this rebellion That time
was only n,ahing things worse. That
two wears of defeat and disaster was time
sufficient. 10 show to ,he world that they
were incompetent 10 the task they had
assumed. That the time they asked
meant only continuation of the war, in
order that they might glut and fat
ten on their idolized greenbacks- That
they asked for themselves, that which
they were unwilling to grant TO the army !;
that when Gen. Mcclellan asked FOR fine
1t was not given him: but thai they dives
ted him of authority and placed the army
in the hands of man who stood not
upon question of time-a man who, TO
sstre time. blinderingly rushed our brave
army into fruitiess and useless engage
nent and instead of taking FreiIicks-
burr, came very near being taken himself,
together with the entire Potomac army.
He clearly showed and very substar-
tally proved, not by a system Of sophis-
try, but by the record. that the Abolition
isiS-!he party in power, were the dlSa-
aliont>ts. and that the Democrats were thc
only truly Union men. lie traced the
/ Abolition party back to lis earliest iusig.
nilicance. and showed that, although
their doctrines were as pcrnicious anC
reasonable thirty years ago, as they arr
| to-day. that nevertheless, they were al
lowed, by an unsuspecting and over-in-
dulgent people, step by step, 10 gain pow

Drafted Men i'm Chains.

1t is enough to make the blood boil in

ing, which is taken from the Detroit Free
Press:
"DErARTURE OF DRAFTED MENIN CHAINS.
Another departure of drafted men took
place on Wednesday morning, some Of
them in chains. The tendency of these
men to skedaddle. has compelled the au-
thoritcs to be very strict with regard to
them. Hence we noticed that some of them
with wild eyes, and dishevelled locks and
scedy arments, also wore iron bracelets
upon their wrists"
Are we living under Constitution, de-
signed, as it founders declared, "to secure
the blessings of liberty to ourselves and
our posterity" The Constitution has
been slaughtered by those who were sworn
to support it and we are in the midst of a
war, carried on by cheating contractors and
political swindlcrs. The war. under its
present mismanagcment. is SO obnoxious

ducton of President Lincolu, is a sham too
palpablc to deceive. SO far arc Demo Gratis
from wishing 10 abduct him, they would not
accept him as gilt II offered. There might
have been somo value attached to him before
his seduction by tho Aboliionists, but since
then, his abduction is tho last suggestion
likely to present itself to Democrats, 1t is
much moro probable that tho libortncs who
"wiShcd to God ho would resign before
they accomplished his seduction should no "
be fearful of the consequences of their gull,

Abolition DcspOtism. .

A correspondent Of tho Boston Courier,
writing from Manchester, N. II 4, relates sew
cral instances of workmen having been dis
charged from the mills there for having voteu
the Democratic Ticket, and whose families
are now dependent upon public charity to
save them from destitution. One of them an
Old man named Foley, had sent three sons,
the support of his old age, into the army, and
all of them had died in the service. This
was his reward for apatriotism that had made
desolatc his own hcarthstonc TO defend the
Government.
The Hartford Times has published co lumn
containing instances of similar tyranny in
Connecticut. In one instance, an inhrm old
man, not employed in tho mills voted white
ticket, (he Administration tickets were yeI'
low,) and the magnanmous owners oil Inc
mills wreaked their vengeance upon his daugh'
ter by discharging her from work, and turn
ing him and his family out of the little house
in which they lived. In Plymouth man
having refused to vote the Abolition ticket
his family, in his absence were turned out o
the house, the furniture was thrown into tn
street, and family of negroes were install
ed.
We might quote hundreds of similar in
staices if we had the space, but these vii
serve to show the spirit Of Now England Pur
itan patriots who are now so boiSterous II
protesting their love for the Union. The case
of Foley here relate is test of their sicer
ity, and II reflects not whit more OF inlam!
upon tho oversecr who ordered his discharge
than does the dismissal OF Lieutenant Edgcr
ly reflect upon the Administration. Edgerl!
was Lieutenant in the New Hampshir
Fourth Infantry, aregiment whose ranks hav
been decimated by disease and battle, an
which was sent home to recruit, as was avel
red, but in reality to vote. He voted til
Democratic ticket, and was dismissed irol
the service, the ordcr for his dismissal assigi
ing that as the reason.

On Thursday night OF last week. Bern
hardt Koch, proprietor of the German
paper. published in this place, took the
evening train for Cincinnati, At DAYTON
he got off the cars for the purpose Of tax
ing a cup of coffee, and while drinking it,
the train began to move. He had on a
heavy shawl, and carried bundle under
his arm, and while attempting to gain the
foremost platform of the last car, he
swung around between the platforms, and
loosing his hold fell between the cars, the
wheels of the last car running over and
crushing his legs in dreadful manner
lie died almost instantly.
An inquest was held over his body by
Coroner Stoppelman. of Montgomery
County, and tho above facts were enlicit
ed. His body was placed in neat coffin
and forwarded to his family. He was
buried in this place ON Sunday last, the
funeral being attended by large concourst

Soldiers voting.

One year ago last winter the Abolition ma

. law allowing Soldiers to vote. The niger
worshippers nearly all voted against it, This
last winter, after depriying the Soldiers from

1t safe to pass the law. They oi jocted to III,

came constitutional SO soon as they were en-
abled to impose upon tho Soldiers the false

A New crime New Dnngc,

The following dispatch to the Asso-
ciatod Press passed over the wires the
other day:
CMRo. April 16.
"Nino persons were arrested here this
evening, for wearing the Copperhead
badge"
The inference from this announcement
is, that the "nino persons" spoken of were
arrested for wearing upon their breast the
old liberty head cut from copper cent
1t was this, it would seem, that constitut-
ed their only oliense; this emblem Of free.
dom was not to be tolerated. Perhaps, as
a cotempcrary suggests, tho next move
will be to prohibi the circulation Of all coin
bearing the impress Of the American God
dess of liberty, and to make arrest for
singing Hail Columbia or the "Star-
Spanglcd Banner"
The rsbid Abolitionis.s. in their mad
fanaticism, seem to be capable of any fol-.
ly or any exercise of tyranny. Upon the
receipt of the above dispatch by telegraph
an Abolition Journal in Chicago made
an editorial announcement and a threat as
| follows:
"At Cairo, several wearers of copper
head badges have been arrested, to be
dealt with. 1t has passed bey pleas
antry, and those who so mark themse sel YES
,CW find that Mey are marked for ertermi.
nation"
If those who have the audacity to wear
the cpper cent badge are to be exterminat
ed. it may be dangerous for others to carry
copper cents or offer them in change. -
Fortunatel y, the coins with the oifensiv,
emblem upon them are becoming to,
scarce to expose the mass of the peopl
to the threatened determination. Still i
might not be amiss in the fortunate OF
unfortunate possessors of few Amer ical
coins with the offensive en- blem'upon then
to use caution in offering them in pay
rnent Or change to rapid Abolitionists.- -
1t might be taken and used as a proof o
} some lingering attachment to the old Con
stitution and the old Union, which is, i
