The Soldiers, Appeal.

In another column'will be found the Appeal of eur hoss in the Nineteenth Regiment c. V, ta tue men of Connecticut their fathers, broth ers, kindred and friends at home.
 In connection with t, we desire aimply to set at rest bare faced lie, that has already been set afoat, in anticipation of its appear ance. by the copperheads of this vicinity, to the effect that the appeal was drawn up by the cticers of the Regiment, and that the men were compelled, by various threats, to sign it. We have simply to say, upon the best authori- ty, that such story is . wholesale fabrication. The truth is, that this paper was drawn up by q private in the ranks, circulated by com mittee of priyates in each company, and et- tercards signed by such off cers as chose, or had the opportunity to afix their names to it. Not q single name scas siynsd. unauthorized by ktc signer or against Ais Jrcc rN aud 70. lition. Further, we are assured, that at least one hundred and fifty more names could have been obtained in the regiment, had the can vassers ill the different companies had more time, withou: neglect of their other duties, tp procure them and that full half the men in Companies E, I and K, as we'll as in many other Companies, for this reason, never had the paper presented to them at all 1; and again that there are not thirty men in the Regiment certainly not fifty-who are in favor of Thos. II. Seymour for Goverpos of this State. The rebel copperhcads hsreabouts, therefore, will have to invent so.ns new and better lie to counteract the influence of thi, appeal.
 Ne print such names as have already been signed, amounting to more than three hundred that there may be no more dispute as to the real sentiments of the, men. It will be seen that the list embraces pretty much all the in fuen.ial names in the Regiment names oi men of both parties before the war, but one now in sentiment. sympathy and feeling. To the stirring and burning words of the address, we need add no word of ours. Itcomes home to every one of us, trumpet-toned, and .swith thrilling emphasis. It is an appeal from oul brave sons aud brothers in the field, to save hscm from the humiliation and disgrace of g rebel victory at home, which they cannot ar rest. It is the voice of our dearest and truest and best. now in the field, pointing oUt to Us our danger, and begging us, for Mei' sakes, to meet it and conquer t. MEN OF CoSxEcTIcET FREEMEN PATRIOTS OF LlrcHFIELp CauxrY !-Fathers, Brothers Sons of these brave men l--Democrats and Republicapsl l-Will you disregard this ap
 peal :? ... Close on the receipt of the appeal of the men of the 18th Regiment, we have forwarded to us paper expressing the opinion of thf first three years Company from Litch6eld Co. Company I, lst Conn Artillery, upon the question of "peaco." We are assured that "i is almost the unanimous opinion of the Com pany, which now numbers only 65 man, seve ral of whom arc detailcd for cx!ra duty, ane are too far away ta sign"
 We give space also to this address, tosothe with its signatures, and leave bola to peiu their avn morals with our readars.

Another snow storm, which extended throughout the County. on Sunday. has given us a continuation of our March slsighing. It is excellent=now, and is appreciated.
 -Wo have an excellent chance of having our nsxt Congressman from this village. Mir. Woodruff, ,who has represented our district for the past two years, returned home on Tuesday, and gives place to Mir. John II. Hubbard. The legal and social fraternity will welcome MT. Woodruff back to his old home. ...
 Ut is said that recently converted peace man, about four miles west of us, wishes to be exempt frem draft on account of his religious principles; and what seems strange to his neighbors is, that they didn't know that he was troubled with any such, until Senator Wilson conscription bill was presen' ted to the Senate.

The New Haven Register de.irss to know who John II. Hubbard is. It would be super fuous to inform any man in this County, de- mocrat or republican, who Mr. Hubbard is, but let us inform this copperhead enquirer.
 Mr. Hubbard is native of Salisbury. in this County, practised law lhcre for about twenty years, twice represented his district in the State Senate fin io47 md ls50,) removed to this town some ten years ag,, and for the last five years, has stood, confessedly, at the head of the Litchfeld Bar. 5
 Further-At the very outbreak of tAe re- bellion, Mr. Hubbard took his stand firmly and squarely ty his Country. He didnt talk of a sword in one hand and an olive branch in the other, but believed that the accursed re- bellion could and should be put dswn and crushed out by the strong arm of the Govern ment and to strengthen and uphold that power, he devoted his time, energies and pri- vatc means, with an unstinted and unsurpassed ardor. On tic week following the fall of Sum- ter. he addressed Union meeting held in this village, in speech filled with patriotic fire and pluck. In the loriaation of the first Company that went from this town. (now Co. l., lst Conn. Artilery.) l.. Ii lcd, eacoura .rd and assisted, by every lna.ns in Ais powef In the formation of every o'hsr Company or parts of Companies that have gs.Re frnm thi. town or county, he has taken T greater Or less de gree of interest, and has freely contributed to iss aid when called ipon. In the recruiting of a single Company for the 18th Regiment, now in service in Louisiana, We are knowing to the
 fact that he contributed over one housand dollars out of his own pocket. in private bounties, &c..to aid and encourage enlistments. In the recruiting for the Litchfeld County
 Regiment, tthe 18th c. VI it is safe to say, no one q an in th,s County did more to procure enlistments, and urge on the work, than did Mr. Hubbard. 4sss @
 l It was while this latter Regiment was being formed, aud while recruiting tent was pitch ed upon our Green, that the grand rush was
 made upon the County Surgeon in this village, Iby the eorperheads of this County, to procure
 certificates of exemption from dratt.s Re.
 cruiting instantly came tea stand still -awho l would enlist, while the great, bravny, healthy men poured in from all par,s, of the County
 and procured certi6catcs? The sight awas

They creased the rail- road track and turned south towards the de- pot, against which they ran with great vio- lencc, breaking the, back of one of the horses, sending the carriage over on to the horses, with the occupants of it. Miss Hattie Pratt had an arm broken, besides some other slight injuries, and the young man was considerably bruised generally.

Wes the Nndersigned, members of tAe Nine= teenth Regiment of Connecticut Volunteers, havelbeen called from our homes to fight for the preservation of the liberties of our cop9- try, and are thus cut of from all llparticipations in political affairs. Nevertheless, we have as deep m interest in the welfare or our State as any of you who have remained at home. We have taken up arms for your protection, and Tn your stead, and being deprived, by reason of absence, of the privilege of voting. wesend you this appeal. as an expression of our sen timents in regard ts the issues involved in the coming State election.
 When the attack onF Fort Sumter inaugurateds the great rebellion, the traitors of the North hid themselves in alarm from before the resistless torrent of patriotic enthusiasm that threatened to overwhelm them; but they did not give over the hope of seeing the Govern ment destroyed, ,and of aiding in it's overthrow They knew that the aood-tide of patriotism would sbb, that taxation and distress and bereavement would cause many to care more for present than for enduring peace, that the hardships of . soldiers life would cause dis content in the army; and they counted on these resslls, and on everything that is selfish and sordid in human nature, as helps to their internal schemes. Whenever the cause of the country has seemed bright, these men have been silent, and have gsrksd against us in seeret; and when disaster has come upon our armies, they have crawled cut of their holes, like snakes in sunshine, to bask their spotted skins, and sxult over rebel successes! They have only beea biding their time, and now they think their time has come. IaConnecticut, they have recently given expression to their purposes by the nomination of Thomas H.. Seymour for Governor, and in resolatiop. adopted 6y tAeir recent State Convention, whieh gre nothing Jess than aid and comfort to tAe ene- my in front cf IS.
 In letter published in the Hartford Time. in July last, Thomas H. Seymour made use oi the following language:
 aI follow in no crusade for the subjugation and consequent humiliation and overthrow of the South, neither will contribute in any way, to the accomplishment of such bloody purposes. The monstrous fallacy of the present day that the Union can be restored by
 destroying any part of the South, is one
 which will burst with the shells that are
 thrown into its defenceless cities" @
 Men of Connecticut! Iid you bid us go
 forth to face danger and death only that the State which we call Our home might fall into the hands of such men as Thomas H.Seymour Did you encourage us, by your bounties, ysul
 banners, your words and deeds, te leav.

 foes not less malignant, and not less danger
 ous, assailing us f. om behind? We pray yor
 not to crush our resolution, and palsy ou1

Fremont journal. [volume] (Fremont, Sandusky County [Ohio]) 1853-1866, 1863-08-07
vailandlEham as a war Democrat.

During the war with Mexico it was common
for democrats to denounce bitterly all who ques-
toned the justice or necessity of that contest.
They demanded entire acquiescence aud unfalt-
ering support.
On the 18th of December, l847, democratic
meeting was held at Dayto Ohio, to send dele
gates to a state convention. The committee on
resolutions consisted of Clement l.. Vallandig-
ham, James Brooks, George w. Houck, w. J.
NJ Batchelder and Daniel Tucker. Mr.. Vallan-
digham reported series, of which was the fol.
lowing:
'Resolved, That whatever opinions might
have been entertained of the origin necessity OIL
Justice by the tories of the Revolutionary war
by the federalists of the late war with England
or by the wings and abolitiOnists of the present
war with Mexico, the fact of their countrys be-
ing engaged in such war ought to have been
sufficient for them and to have precluded debate
on that sub ubiect till successful termination Of the
war; and that in the meantime, the patriot could
have experienced no difficulty in recognizing his
place on the side of his country, and could never
have been induced to yield either physical or
moral aid to the enemy"
But l947 is not now, and its doctrines have
been fully unlearned. The same man who wrote
that resolution uttered, in 1861, the following
words:
"Then, sir, am not southern man either,
although in this most unholy and unconstitu-
tional crusade against the South, in the midst OF
the invasion, arson, insurrection and murder to
which she has been subject, and with which she
is still threatened the torch of the incend
iary and the dagger Of the assassin suspended
over her, my most cordial sympathies are wholly
with her"
