after another, are squarely giving the lie
to their pretensions. Hear the vile
traitor, the self styled editor of the Dem.
& Sent. prate.
"The great human lottery,
under the late conscription act,
is about to take place. The
st in itself is revolutionary.
Having discarded the Constitu-
ton, where is the political policy
of the Administration to end !?
The BOND Of this Union being
broken and consigned to the
shades of oblivion, the argument
against secession falls to the
ground, and we become equally
culpabfe with the rebels them
selves. If we would have peace,
we must throw down the sword
and restore the Union as our
fathers built it, not by coercion,
but by concession and compro-
mise. Dem. G Sent.
We want no better evidence of the
reasonable feeling of any man, whether
he Eve in the North or the South, than
that expressed by our secession sympathi-
zing friend Of the tory organ in our midst.
1t is most deplorable and humiliating
fact, that armed treason of the South
which seeks TO ruin and destroy our
nationality, is daily receiving encourage
ment and support from persons in the
North. While the South is In armed
treason against tae North, striking deadly
blows against our very life, doing all
in its power to overthrow the best gov
crnment that ever existed upon the earth.
these old political hacks and fag.erds Of
Democracy, an unannointed pack whose
motto is ''rule or ruin," whose patriotism
consists only in their desire to have their
country subserve their party, and their
party in turn subserve their pockets,
finding that they cannot bask in the suE-
shine of government patronage, and glut
themselves with the spoils Of Office,
must needs resort to the despicable scheme
of open and avowed hostility to the
Administration and the war. Their rally
ing cry is: Incompetency, Extravagance,
T. n All, ID
forsooth, Abolitionism. With misrepre-
sentations of this character, they hope to
gull the people, to bring together the
shattered remnants of their party, and 20
regain the power which they SO shame
fully abused, and which they so righteously
lost
When FITz JOHN PORTER was convict
ed Of treason by i court martial composed
OF the most distinguished officers in the
army, one of the first acts of the New
York Democracy was to tender him
public dinner. The same party in New
Jersey elected man to the United States
Senate, when his traitorous acts and words
had sent him to Fort Warren. So, too,
all over the country, men covered with
treason have been deliberately selected as
the standard bearers Of the party falsely
called Democratic. Following out this
idea, the Copperheads of Ohio have NOM
mated CLEMENT L. VALLANDfGHAM for
Governor. In this the country, We pre-
sumo to say, is not disappointed. That
arch traitor was convicted by a court
martial of disloyalty and treason, and by
the President sent down South among his
friends. True to their instincts, the
Copperheads all over the country set up
cry of distress, ard began to deplore his
arrest an d condemnation. Being desirous
in Ohio of bringing out for standard
bearer the most venomous, as well as the
most disloyal tory in the Ccpperhead
ranks, the conviction of yALLANDIoHAM
settles the question, and he, convicted
traitor that he is, is elevated to the posi-
ton. That the Copperheads should go
down into JEFF DAVIS copfederacy to
pick up candidate 10 represent them and
their principles, is perfectly natural. If,
instead of taking that twaddling dema-
gogue, GEORGE Z. PuGH, for Lieutenant
Governor, they had taken JEFF DAVIS or,
