DEMOCRACY OF THE RIGHT SoRT-Nathanef
B. Baker, formerly Democratic Governor of New
Hampshire, now Adiutant General of Iowa, has
written an eloquent letter upon the duty OF DEM
ocrats to sustain the Government. He puts the
case in a way to make the Copperhead Democ-
racy squirm:
propose no conditions to my loyalty. may
have differed from the administration IN some
points on the conduct of the war, but that should
make no difference with man II ne intends 10
give the Government his unwavering support
I shall not make public declarations IN nVor OF
a vigorous prosecution OF TINS war 70 suppress
the rebellion and then publicly or privately ut
ter traitorous and bitter denunciations OF the
President and the Government. have no faith
in the man who says he supports the Govern
ment and finds fault because there were calls Ior
volunteers do not credit the man who says he
is loyal, and opposes volunteering, taxation, Is
suing bills of credit, conscription, ana all the
methods to raise armies and means to sustain
the Nation. The man who finds fault with every
effort of the Government to sustain itself, and
then declares himself Union man, must be
either coa,pos or false-hearted, and falslner
of his own opinions Inever could distinguish
the difference between one of this class OF sup
porters " of Government and an avowed disuh-
ionist, except In this-that the latter nad the
most honesty, and the former the most impu-
dence,
