Ilished at Belefountaine, Ohio, "a /
spirited paper full Oil and SATIRE
We take the following from ilH col
nmns:
Having become entirely convinced
that "the Administration IS the Gov
ernment," we propose to express SOM
truly loyal views, in truly loyal words
We hold that Abraham Lincoln is
the greatest statesman OF the age
That he is thoroughly informed on all
matters Of Government policy, and
especially convGraant with tho intri
cacies OF the tariff; that he is q very
handsome man, and has had all the
tr, ining requisite for successor OF
Washington and Madison 10 the Ex.
ecutive chair.
We hold, also, that the afor,.men
toned LiEcoln ia "honest," aud that
his Administration is distinguished,
for tho integrity OF al its members,
and their appointecs; that Wellos newt
er gave fat contracts to Morgan; that
Cameron never dabbled in frauds;
that Tucker neVer made money out OF
transports; that Fremont never spec
ulated in Austrian muskets; thar
Seward and Stanton violated no law
in making arrests: thns the Cunstitu
ton required Blair 70 cXa'uie Demo
cratic papers from the mals, and that
Chase is sincere, frank aui manly in
his conduct, wearing his heart on
his sleeve" never saying one thing
and meaning another, and withal, a
pure national patriot, holding himself
above all sectional prcjndices.
We hold, moreover, that the con.
duct Of the war has been marked by u
brilliant series OF the most wonderful
victories, except a few instances OF
disaster, caused by such oplerhealS
as Mcclellan and DIel.
We stilI believe that this wicked
teLu'iion will be 'QreIched in the o:ig
IinsI ninety lays, aud the ooly reason
why q tow Old women did not whip
the rebels bciora breakfast, wa5 ba.
cause Father Abraham, in tho kind
ness of heart, (see lod on desorters
failed to conscript them out OF tender
regard for age aud sex.
We don't believe any bndy's hurt,
the crisis being purely artificial. It
Is our belief that large sum is more
easily paid than larger one, ard We
are suro, from personal experience,
that it IL ca,ier to pay when We have
the means OF paying, than when we
have not.
The national debt we consider o
mere triho, as we have been convn
ced, by an arithmctical calculation,
that Uur women can churn it out in
ton years. "Com. batter, come.W
We believe in tho Union Party:"
that is, we don't believe it's u party at
all; but devised for tho pure an1 holy
purpose of putting down this wicked
rebellion, and saving the best Gov.
ernment in the world. Its leaders
are all honest patriots, caring nothing
for Office, except when it is forced up
on them. Their motto lie: "To the
devil with your Offices! We are for
our couutry-our whole country
and our home is in tho bright Settin
sunl"
We arc very mUrh in favor Of cal
ing Democrats "Uopperheads,' anc
"enemies in our midst" We think
they all ough. to be killed. Bnrning
ut the stake would DO enilcntly
proper. Sharp pine spIinters ought
to be stuck into their flesh, and sct
on fire. No Union man should dea
with them, except to take their mon
cy-neVer neglecting to call then
traitors rs soon as they leave the
store or shop.
