gress-The next 600. 900. 2

Tho Thirty Seventh Congress is at an
end. For this thirty millions of pee
/. pie have most f ,ently hoped for and
prayed. One of the last acts Of this bo3y
was to confer on the President the power
to compel all the poor men in tie country
to go into the army, and exempting from
: the service all that arc rich enough to pay
into the treasury the sum of three hun
dred dollars What they. propose to do
With the money thus raised we do not
know. but suppose large portion, Of it is
to be appropriated for the purpose Of buy
Ing negroes. Tie injustice of compelling
poor men to go into the army, and ex-
empting an army contractor who makes
$4,000 per day, upon the payment of
$500, is sufficiently obvious to almost any
person. We therefore have great cause
for congratulation that such Congress
has ceased to exist

is complete history of the doings of this,
now, happily defnnct Congress. But it is
ended. Let all the people re;eice!

The Conscripfion Bill and
it's fither-What is his OBJ
iccfS 2

The author of these provisions shall
himself furnish the key to the proper in
terpretation of those features of his Con-
scription Bill, and disclose for himself the
aniu,us which dictated the obnoxious.
In recent speech on the subject, Senator
Wilson said:
They tell us that the land is filed with
the graves of our murdered countrymen,
they tell us that we have thousands OF
widows and orphans. But WHO FILLED
THOSE GRAVES?
Every bullet fired in this war at the
hearts of our loyal men has been fired By
Deuocrat-for man has to be a Demo
crat in America before he can be a trai-
tor.
Every brave man who stood by the flag
of his country, who has followed that flag
with unswerving fidelity through sunshine
and storm, through diseases of the camp
and dangers of the battlefield, every one
of those men who sleep to-day in their
bloody graves, went down by balls FIRED
BY DEMOCRATS.
Every soldiers widow in America made
by this war, by disease or by the bullet,
has been made By Democrats.
Every soldiers orphan child in loyal
America was made an orphan by Demo
crat bullets.
Every flag of the republic riddled and
torn by shot and shell was riddled and
torn by Democratic shot and shell.
We submit to the candid and unbiased
Judgment of any and every man, be he
Democrat or Republican, whether it it is
not perfectly clear that the Senator who
made the speech here quoted, and who
provided in his Conscription Bill for sin
euiring into reasonable practices, and for
detecting, seizing and imprisoning spies
by partisan subordinate, was not intent
on overawing and crushing out the De-
mocracy of the North by irresponsible
military power. A man has to be a
Democrat before he can be Traitor,
SAYS this Senator in speech advocating
his pet measure. Religiously" enter
tanning this opinion, it was perhaps his
duty u to frame Bill which should
erterminate Democrats; since en- his theo
ry, having succeeded in this "patriotic y
undertaking, there could not by any pos
sibility be ssTraitor' thenceforward, in
all this broad land of oursl

A Desperate Attempt to Com.
NIT Political SacriIege.

| The Administration party hereabouts
are terribly in earnest in trying to get
under the mantle Of Old Hickory. The
one they have been wearing has become so
offensive, on account of its nastiness, that
the people began to hold their noses, and
get out of the way Of those whom it COW
cred. They never had one, from the days
of the alien and seaition laws to the close
ofthe present Congress, that didn't, become
disgusting on account of the corruption it
covered. They are now, therefore, trying
to appropriate to their own backs what
they had alwsvs before. denounced and
ridiculed. They have discovered merits
in it they never before saw or acknowledge
| ed. They used to declare that General
Jackson's mother was a mulatto is it for
that they now snatch at his mantle to
cover them? They would profanely de-
clare that General jackson was tyrant
and usurper: is it on that account they
desire to be considered his followers? Be
that as it may, they are resolved to be
under his mantle. It is necessary to their
publication in the public eye. If they
get it on, the same corruption they seek
to hide by it will still remain. But their
case is desperate, and they must put on q
hard face and go through the operation.
You will find them, in short time, wear
ing hickory-nuts for breastpins, watch
chains and shawl-pins. With them will
be found some who once were Democrats,
and who are under the delusion they are
still Democrats, and that the party has
left them, and not they the party. They
are the genuine, smon-pure Hickoryites.

Army Resolutions.

& We stated last week that we had re-
ceived a series Of resolutions from the
.116th Regiment. They will be, found in
this weeks paper entire.
We most heartily approve of the senti-
lments contained in portion Of the Reso-
buttons, and if they are intended as an
attack on the Abolitionists we do not know
that We have any objection, to any portion
of them. Who it is that is attempting
to, or has deprecated the currency, ex-
cept it be Salmon P. Chase the father Of
it, we can not imagine. If he has done
SO, and we believe that he has, the SOL
diers are justly indignant for their thir-
teen dollars month is now about eight
dollars.
The resolutions further most justly de-
nounce those who write 's reasonable
letters to the soldiers in the field, >, and if
they had not attempted to make it appear
that no one was guilty of what they call
treason, but Democrats we would take nc
exceptions,
We beg leave to say that the resolution
which sets forth that the administration
(including of course the nigger procla
nation and the nigger regiments is the
only medium through which the rebellion
can be put down, and..that as a conse
quence we must not in any manner oppose
it, is nothing but pure and unadulteratet
Abolitionism, and which is not endorsed
either by the 10th Regiment or by ma
jority of the soldiers in any other loya
Regiment now in the United States ser
vice. We know this assertion to be true
and we prove it by an article in this pape
entitled 1.-THE New Policy" The Presi
dent admits in that article that the soldier
are opposed to his negro policy of con
Quoting the war.

Inc opponents OF the democracy nave
always delighted to apply to them a nick
name, supposing that thereby weakened
persons, though preferring the political
principles of the Democracy, would, new
ertheless, be deferred by the nickname
from party association with them. The
class to be operated on are those generally
who are .dreadfully afraid of their respect
ability, and who would prefer going with
out their dinner than miss nod of recog-
milton from some wealthy member of the
other party. Without any independence
of character of their own, they must get
under the shadow of what they call re-
spcctability, to give themselves a little Of
its odor. This is the class of persons
whom party nicknames are expected to af-
feet.
The Federalists nicknamed their oppo-
nents, Democrats, because at that time the
glasses in France, who were committing so
many atrocities, were there called Demo
Gratis. The Federalists supposed the nick
name would do the work of death on their
opponents, who were then called Republi-
cans. The Republicans, however, aban-
doned their party name and took that of
the Democracy, and have worn it to this
day proudly, defantly, honorably From
the bestowment Of that first nickname, the
opposition to the Democracy have contin-
ued the practice, forgetting every thing
and learning nothing, as to it's fruits.
The latest nickname bestowed upon the
Democracy by their opponents is that of
RTrv, ID ~ 70 IL
Butternuts. The Abolitionists, who are
the lineal political descendants of the Fed
eralists, have bestowed this nickname upon
the Democrats of the present day. They,
doubtless, thought the Democracy could
notsurvive it. As the Confederates, at the
commencement of the war, were generally
dressedin homcspuns, colored in dye made
of the bu.'ernut tree, they were called Rut-
ternuts; and the Abolitionists supposed,
that by bestowing that name upon the
Dem ocracy, they would so associate them
with Secessionists as to make them odious.
But the plan hasn't worked to charm.
The Democracy accepted, in good humor,
Tic new n;.nc, examined by sections the
butternut, and found its whole structure
to be an admirable representation of the
Democratic sentiment They accordingly
began to wear them as breast-pius, and
charms on their watch chains and shawl :
pins. They became, all at once, very
popular with the Democracy, and just as
gre t an eye-sore to the Abolitionists.
The sight of a butternut has about the
! same effect ON an Abolitionist as water
has on rabid dog--producing convuls-
ions. So annoying and irritating has the
butternut emblem already become to them
that they are ready to assault, pugnis ct
calcidus, any body whom they see wearing
one. We pity their sensitivencss, but as
they are themselves the cause of the but
ternut being worn, we suppose they will
have to ''grin and bear it, until their in
genuity can produce another nickname for
the Democracy.
