/ For the Dslawars GAzstts-
| FDrroR GAzETTE:-By your permission, WI
would occupy a few lines iD your paper il
noticing some remarks made by the STANDARD
Of last week, in introducing some resolutions
10 its readers
These resolutions we're passed by the Dem
ocrats of the o. w. o.; about thirty out Oi
ore hundred and ninety six students.
Some Of these thirty have been, the Stand
ard says, represented as being disloyal, and ap
pears to take exceptions TO the term
We do not know who represented some as
being disloyaI. to the Standard. Whoever he
may be, we fear he has represented nothing
more than the fact. At least. some of
them talk as some men do who are not students
Of the o. W. o.
We propose asking the Standard a few
| questions, and supposing answers, until he has
| an opportunity Of answering himself, if we do
not answer agreeably to his views.
Ist. Whether Secessionists are loyal or dis
loyal?
Disloyal, certainly.
I'd. Who are Secessionists?
We think we Lear him answer, those who
think, believe, say or agree State has right
TO secede.
Sd. Does it make any difference whers he
lives; North or South?
No.
Now, Mr.. Standard, if you viii admit these
three answers, we think we can convince you
that some of those students and others, are,
at least, rebel sympathizers Within two
weeks a certain man-we will call him Mr.. A.
Al.
that "a State has right TO seoede lahsn her
rights are infringed upon" and in answer to
question that "ths rights of South Carolina
and the Southern States gCere infringsd upon
before they seeded"
What is this but virtually declaring that the
Southern States did right in seeding from
these, until they did seeede, prosperous and
happy United States. and bringing about this
war and carnage, which bss-filled nearly every
dwelling with sorrow? How can A aUofd
sympaihizing with the South in their suffer-
iugs for doing right? He, and all such men
known by that expressive title. Copperheads,
can not. They do not. This is why they go
about seeking, under the protection of free
speech, free press, and the Constitution. which
signifies according to their Interpretation, dOni
hinder US in aiding the Rebs., to stir up
division in the North by their evil counsel
And when an attempt is made By the author
ities to check them, howl is set up about
free speech, free press, and eonsIitutionality,
that would cause bronchitis in any but brazea
throats Would we not be justi6abe in ap-
plying to students or any persons who advo-
cate the doctrine that A does not only the
terms Butternuls and Copperheads, which
seem to tickle the ears of Vallandigham Dem
ocSats so, but Rebel sympathizers and Disloy-
alists? For, where is the Government if the
doctrine of secession is admitted? DESTROYED
Then, why are not they who preach the thing
with so much enthusiasm and eaFnestness that
would destroy the Government, disloyal to that
Government?
The opinion is fast growing on as that all
these "loyll Democrats" students or not stu
dents. who worship. as A does the second
Christ, (:aking a hint from the Standard 5
reference to the 23d chapter Of Luke) Val
landigham, believe Old Jgff's theory, and
would shout with joy to see him succeed in his
heish attempt to cut the nations throat
For, say they, !" God speed the right"
Such men passed those resolutions in which
the Standard can find nothing but what every
true Union can subscribe to
Who can tell that man has not the con-
sumption by the coat he wears? Does the
Standard suppose they would dare TO publish
to the world their sentiments, their whole sen
timen's, and nothing but their sentiments?
Beware of false prophets, which come to you
in sleeps clothing"
The Standard assuredly makes its wisdom
manifest when it declares that 1.-THE vengeance
Of God Wal, we suppose) will fall upon all
those, both North and South, who violate the
Constitution. Why didn't it say, as it no
doubt meant, upon all who refuse to heed the
words of that Blessed Savior who has been
crucified upon Mount Democracy? Henceforth
Republicans and A bolitionists, stand from un
der. Repent and believe on him, that ye may
be saved through his redeeming blood, accord
ing to the words spoken by the Cincinnati
Enquirer together with the sacred writings of
SAMUEL. IRREGULAR, o. w. U.
