under the flag Of their country. and
howled out for the rebels ? Where will
they fnd hole dark enough and dirty
enough to hide their guilty heads :?
What shame it will be for the chill
dren Of these traitorous wretches to have
it said 10 them: "Your father was a
tory" All the waters Of Lethe cannot
wash out the dismal stain. To all time
their memory must 60 down until their

The independent. [volume] (Oskaloosa, Kan.) 1860-1874, 1863-07-11
should find a grave within it. The
great wheel keeps turbing.
The Invasion of the North.

The rebel invasion Of Pennsylvanis
has had q wonderful effect to stop the
croaking of the copperheads. 1t shows
that they who oppose the admlnlstra'
ton in the prosecution Of the war are
enemies of the country and friends ol
the rebels. 1t is passing strange that any
one should fail to see this before; bat the
thickness Of some peoples heads is won
derful: and It takes a knock down argu-
ment to make any impression upon
them.
But the inyas..o on of the North opens
the eyes of all who are not willfully
blind to the fact. that the rebels are for
wal: for destruction; and that no peace
will satisfy them. except it be the recog-
milton Of their bastard Confederscy. 1t
shows, too, that they desire the destruc-
ton of the property and the prosperity
of the North and will endeavor TO carry
out this desire as far as possible.
These things being true, it is mani
fest that every one who opposes the
most vigorous prosecution Of the war,
is a foe to his own household and fire
side. and an enemy to bis neighbors and
society.
True, this has been the case from the
beginning as much as it is now; but
some ever shut their orbs to the light,
and it required rough blow to strike
the scales from their eyes. This inva-
sion has acted something in the same
manner as did the firing upon Sumter
to unite the people. But as soon as
the pressure ceases. the Shiny head oil
treason will again show itself.
The independent. [volume] (Oskaloosa, Kan.) 1860-1874, 1863-07-11
What Now I?

Suppose the defeat of the rebels
proves as disastrous as reports and our
hopes make it appear. what then? Shall
the administration recede one step from
it's position on the subject of Emanci-
patton +? No, never! Sooner may Mr..
Lincoln's hand be palsied than he sho'd
ever write one word to fasten the chains
of Slavery upon one Of the millions
who were made free by his Proclama-
lion Of January.
There is no such thing as progress
backwards" The cry Of Freedom has
rang out upon the free air of America.
and blasted be the arm that would fas-
ten broken chain; palsied the tongue
that would speak for oppression. No;
let the watchword be LIBERTY; and he
who calls for Slavery. let him 60 in the
shanbles and be sold. God save US
from the ruin of backsliding into the
slough of bondage.
The word has gone out. proclaim
liberty to the captive" and that worl
shall never be recalled. 1t must stand
while the pillars Of State remain.s And
perish every one who shall stand in the
way of its fulfillment.
