lie made rousng speech at a recent meet

expressed the following views in regard to

The speaker was not revengeful or win,
dctive man. The hanging Of one or two
hundred of the leaders of this rebellion, was
about all he would ask. Laughter. That
done the difficulty would be over. Get rid of
the leaders, break the armed power Of the
rebellion. and there would be found as much
loyalty in the South as in the North. That
accomplished we will then attend to these
fellows who want office, the FallandiS ShamS

Honesty and Candor.

Nearly three weeks ago the Democratic or
gan Of this county announced the election in
Wisconsin of the Copperhead candidate for
Supreme Judge, by 10000 majority. As we
said some days since, not county had been
heard from at that time. The returns have
since shown that the election of the Union
Republican candidate was a fixed fact. and
that by several thousand majority. Not
withstanding which, that organ has re-
maincd silent as the grave upon the subject.
There are people in this county who only read
the Courier, who think its statement true-
Isn't that organ a re lie able paper for fami-
~, a merchant, farmer, or mechanic p
Isn't its editor man Of veracitys And yet
Democrats recognize and accept it as their
mouth-piece.

W We make the following extract from
the recent speech delivered by that patriar-
chal Democrat and patriot, Daniel S. Dickin-
son, at the recent Union demonstration at
Madison Square, New York:
HOW THE WAR SHOULD BE PROSECUTED.
This war against Rebellion should be brief
and terrible. We have all the elements for
success, and should hurl them upon it in a
single blow. We want no Generals who
would conquer peace first and Rebellion efter-
ward, but those who in conquering Rebellion
would conquer peace. We want united
people to encourage and stay up the hands
of the Administration, and cheer it onward.
Our fair countrywomen already in the spirit
of Jephtha's daughter are ready to offer their
lives for their bleeding country, and man,
stern man, should meet the emergency with
out faltering. The failure of expeditions,
temporary repulses and partial reverses are
among the casualties of war. Vicksburg is
on its winding way, Richmond is trembling
under the menace Of the gallant Hooker, and
Charleston, though not taken, is doomed
As was to have been expected in the late as
sault, they got the "devil," an old and init
mate acquaintance, into their hands but as
they are to be in his hands hereafter forever,
he can well afford to remain with them, dis
reputable as is the association, for brief sea-
son. Let all be Of good cheer, close up the
ranks, and press on the column, and our dear
land will be rescued from the Vaccinations of
conspirators in council and rebellion in arms.
