A New Definition

The indomitable editor of the Whining.
ton Independent gives new aud original
definition Of the term "patriot." In an
article on the subject of "coppe.heads" and
traitors" he gives US the following YER.

about the streets, either publicly or pri-
vately. that the south will eventually suc>

that the rebels can't 6e whipped, and that

such nonsense, we set him down as a trail

If the editor woUld hang 20 the nearest

our country would be nearly depopulated.
Indeed few would remain beside niggers

ana. That is all right. These Abolition
lists are better calculated to be associated
with negroes than with white folks. The
Vice President, as well as the President,
has a severe attack of negro on the brain,
and if he chooses to associate his son with
negroes, white people should not concern
themselves.
By the way. we are inclined to the opin-
ion that this is not q bad plan after ALL
The Abolitionists made the war on account
of the negro, and if the negroes are to take
part in 1t, it is proper that they should be
led by those who believe them capable of
rendering such efficient service. We know
few Abolition officers in our army who
should be transferred at once to the negro
regiments, as they have roved themselves
totally incompetent to command white SOL

Equality Of Citizenship.

The constitution of the United States guar
rantees to every American citizen equality
of citizenship. But how can this right be
attained if the conscript law lie enforced
That law virtually nullifes the sacred boon
of freedom and equality. 1t places the
life of the poor man on the sIme scale as
$500 dollars of the rich. If strictly ems
forced, the effect will be that all our uble-
bodied men between 90 and As years of
age, who cannot raise $500 to purchase
their exemption, will be forced to go to the
war. The burden and dangers of the war
will rest upon this class alone. We ven>
ture to say that not single Abolitionist,
who can rsise the price of his exemption,
will be found in the range of secession bull
lets.
1t has been proposed in different sections
of the country to raise money by taxation,
| in order that poor men may be placed on
the same footing with the rich, under the
conscript law. Heretofore we have COM
United ourselves to this plan and tho
more we reflect upon the subject the more
strongly are we impressed with its jus
tice.
We are aware that some difficulty would
attend the levying and collection of such a
tax, but no one can deny but that it is the
only equitable mode by which the conscript
law can be enforced. By that law the
money Of the rich man is to be held as an
offset to the blood of the poorxpun. This
infamous Abolition provision can only be
got rid of by the adoption of the PROPOSE
tiOn recommended. Let every man ip a
certain distrist or county be taxed in pro-
portion TO his means, to raise The gros.
amount necessary to pay for the quota o
said district or county. This would provide
bounty fund to be used by the Govern
