consistent Advocates OF Free Speech.

Consistent Advocates OF Free Speech.
The Coperheads are great sticklers for free
speech, that is, the free right to preach trea-
son, to discourage enlistments, and to express
openly their admiration for JEFF Davis and his
Confederacy.
For denying this right to be thus exercised
by Mr.. Valandigham, the Government is de-
nounced, and we are told that our liberties
are in danger. Valandigham has been nom
mated for Governor and Geo. E. Pugh for
Lieut.. Governor of Ohio, in order to admins
ter proper rebuke to the Government for
this denial, and TO vindicate the right of free
speech.
Now to show the consistency of these fel-
lows we would ask attention to the following
fact. By the aid of Missouri border ruff
fans" in 1855, code of laws" as it was IA
cetiously called, was adopted for the govern
ment of Kansas, and Franklin Pierce sent an
army to that territory to enforce it. One Sec
tion of that code was in these words
"If any free person, by speaking or byl uriting
assert maintain that persons have not the right to
hold slaves in this territory print, publish, wrte
circulate, to be introduced into this terrific
ry, written printed, published circulated in this
tefiiloiy ahy uooh, paper, HdrdLlne, palnphlet OF
circular containing any denial of the right to hold
slaves in this territory, such person shall be guilty
of felony, and punished by Imprisonment at hard
labor for a term of not less than two years"
Gearge Z. Pugh, fellow candidate and CO.
laborer with Valandigham, was then a men,
Der of the United States Senate, and made
speech in defense Of this uery code Sir"
he said, (" regret the necessity for such legis-
lation; but wherever slavery exists as an in
stitution, laws of that character must be adop-
ted"
This, then, is the sort of" free speech" these
charming friends of liberty advocate; the sort
that confers the right to malign the Govern
inent and aid treason, in a time of national
peril, and which, at the same instant, makes
it felony, to lie punished with Imprisonment
for a term of years, by speaking or writing
that persons have no right to hold slaves in
Kansas!

Letter from a Maine Soldier.


The following letter is from young man
wen knownin Portland, who has been through
the entire campaign of the army of the Poto-
mac, and understands as well as it can be un-
derstood, the feelings and sentiments of that
army at the present time.
HEADQUARTERS 1sT BRIGADE, 1sr
DIv.,2D CORPS, Quartermaster,s OfIiee,
Sept. /, 1868.
have received the Press and independent
twice from you in a short time, which am
thankful for. There is only one good, rela-
bic paper which we get here regularly-the
Washington Chronicle. The New York Her
aid is circulated TO a considerable extent. but
i is not so much sought after as formerly.
Ihe sentiment of the whole army has chang
ed. While there has been from the start a
strong Republican feeling, there has also been
clique here who have tried to oppose every
meaure the Administration has seen fit to
adopt. But that time has gone by. Persons
OF al parties formerly, have now Joined hands
30 put rebellion down. They do not care how
radical the means--they are bound to give
their hearty support TO the President and his
advisers in all things. 1t will not do for the
Copperheads to quote the soldiers as saving
such and such things. 1t is amusing to
hear them when they are reading over the
lists OF drafted from their respective homes.
glnats good; another Copperhead" "You
couldn't hit better" "IIe, III have to fork over
or come out hope he can't raise the tin and
will have to come" and all such expressions.
wish the soldiers might have an opportunity
TO vote at the coming state elections-you as
wen as every one would be surprised al the
nnanimity which prevails. 1t has many times
been said Of the Army Of the Potomac that it
was the only one where the pro-slayery feel
lng mas existed. II cannot be said so now.
Inc conscripts are arriving fast and we
snail again nave as good an army as ever was
raised in the world. The Generals in com
mand, with few exceptions. have been in
competent. They have been Jealous of each
other and have wrangled among themselves
What one wanted to do, another was hound
To oppose. They are now pretty well weeded
OFT; and oil the soldiers want is TO be well load
and they will follow.
Deserters now being arrested have to suffer
the full penalty of the law. Four have been
shot IN the I'd division of this corps within a
week, and five in the 5th corps. There must
nave nave oeen others shot in the different corps.
Inere are twenty more in the I'd division.
Where TINS Is to end cannot tell. Some of
these men have been deserters for two years.
