Both Democrats and their political
opponents enlisted as soldiers and ma
rines, says the Statesman, to fight ! Tor +
the preservation of the Union, the Con-
stitution and the States. This was
the ayogod object of the war. They
%, were not asked togointo the army or Or
navy to fight for negro freedom. But
the Abolitionists, as if on purpose TO
SOW dissension among the soldiers IN
- the army and the people at home, c"u-
sed an Executive proclamation to be
issued, declaring oil 1.-THE negroes IN IN
the so-callcd seeded States free, and
announcing that the army and navy
3 of the United States would be used. used to
maintain them in their freedom
This proclamation and similar man nan
ifestoes have been more fatal to the
III Union army than the bombshells OF
the rebels. They have causedlt to be
D., q mooted question among the soldiers
as with the people at home, whether
our land and naval forces are to be
useain rclceming the Executive pledge
.. to the Southern negroes, instead oi
being solely employed in maintaining
the Constitution and preserving the
Union with all the rights of the States,
both slave and free, unimpaired.
This Abolition partisan pollcy'
while it has consolidated and strength
ened the rebels, has divided and as
matter of course weakened US at home
and in the field, and has sacrificed,
and is now sacrificing ncedlessiy
hundreds and thousands Of our brave
OF soldiers. The Abolition leaders have
thrown fivebrands of discord into the
ranks Of the army and among the pee

and thus afford the most substantial

the decentralization and destruction qf
80 our army in the field, after the people
inOhio, Indiana and Illinois and other
aj Northern States, have reputlated their
negro>emancipation war policy, are
spreading among the soldiers such
false and malicious statements as that
{. . majority of the people in the North
west, whom they designate as ''oop-
porheals,' are opposed to a var ". for r.
the Union, to paying the soldiers for
their services in the field, and are up
holding JEFF Davis and the rebel Con

B make peace by an ignominious and
qowardly surrender to the rebel ohlefs. $.
d What more discouraglng, what more
absolutely despairing news could be
dent to the soldiers than the promulga-
tion Of such falsehoods, such libels

)" Allthis arises from the spirit OF di-
q VISION ahate and mIignity, which is
the motive power Of Abolitionism as
it is of Secessionism. He only is a
i'd true friend to our soldiers who frees
+, !. himself wholly and Internationally
from the influence Of either. Our
soldiers are beginning to see and unS lnS
q derstand what will soon be made Yas
clear to them as tho Light Of heaven,
that their only reliance for support in
struggling and fighting for the sn saliva va

men Of the country, whom the Aboli'
tionists in thoir partisan blindness
rage and madness, denominate "Cop

as Of the people at home, belong this
day to the same. "Copperheads," anfl
the number in the army and at homt
il rapidly multiplying. This fact is
well known to the Abolition leaders
and hence their rage at Cooper
