This was but one of several slaps vt sey'
mour and Parker for their timidity in treason
which delighted the souls of these festive Cop
perheads. There will evidently be jar in the
machinery if Wood and Burr are not candid
ates for Governor next time. We esincerely hope
they may be.
We venture to say that not one of these allies
of JEFF. Davis who was old enough to read IN
1928 failed to approve most heartily the doe
trines and acts of Gen. Jackson with respect TO
South Carolina which were the exact oppositeS
of those they now PROFOUND. They were then
for maintaining the Union by force if necessary,
for the Democrats were in power; they are now
on the precisely opposite tack, because they see
that Slavery is the core Of the Rebellion, and
that they must stand or fall together. That is
the whole story
New-York daily tribune., 1863-11-26

The Copperhead papers are making dismal
howl over the Delaware election. Why J
Because open and unscrupulous traitors were
not allowed to vote All that was required for
voting was that the elector should swear loyalty
10 the United States. Out Of tho entire Demo-
cratic party in Delaware only about dozen voted
upon these terms. Having refused to stand by
the stars and stripes aud refused to vote at all,
they now cry out that they were prevented by
military Interference. That is false, and thoy
know it. Any man who compiled with even
the form of loyalty might have voted for Jef.
Davis if he pleased, and his vote would have 60
appeared on the return. The rccusant Democ'
racy will get little sympathy upon so eowardly
a dodge. The man who refuses to acknowledge
iealty to his Government has no right to its pro-
tecton and the Government that would allow
such man to vote is not days march from
