why DON'T They go To Wari

also, extended to speakers from abroad
sShy Don't They go TO war;
why don't those ''loyal" Abolitionists,
nho cry "no compromise with traitors"
buckle on their armour and march against
the foe themselves? Why don't they
Voluntarily join the Union army, instead
of skulking-about home, reriiing and ira
ducing their betters! If they were as spa
trio:ic" in action as they are in sentiment,
they would at once step forward and re-
iieve their master Of the necessity Of
trying to enforce an unlawful and unccr-

"copperheads "---honest Democrats,
who have already lent their sons and
;heir money to the cause. Democrats
have long since enlisted and now largely
predominate in the Union army; and
why don't the Abolitionists do likewise
Because they arc towards and care not

fathers bcqueathed it. They prefer stay
ing at home to enjoy the petty appoint
Inents of tax-coliector, provost marshal,
bumbailitf, etc.--They prefer robbing
and stealing from tho Public treasury,
10 lighting armed rebels and this is why
they secretly exult over every defeat OF
our arms, because they wish TO see this
war continue rs long as there are any
"green backs" 10 be made--to continue
till liberty IS blottcd from our history
II Is this devilish wickedncss, of these
decorators of law and liberty, that has
aroused the honest masses, and which
will stimulate them to fight with alacri-
ty and determination, these diabolical
slaves of Abolitionism, with frceman's
true weapon, the ballot and the ba'lot-box.
Il is these sickering realities that have
caused, OF are causing the Democracy,
everywhere, to organize in vigilance and
defence of their assaiIed liberties.

And there is JOY, rcvelry and feastins in
the White House now: but their liccn-
tiousness will soon be turned TO bitterness
and " "gnashing of teeth" The DAYS OF
their iniquitous and terrible reign are
numbered. An indignant and outraged
people viii hurl them from power, into
she everlasting depths of iniamy and OBJ
Evion. And until the people, who are
the legitimate sovcreicns, take this matter
IL their OWN hands, there will be TYRANNY

LET the people, therefor, continue in
the Democratic organizations, and stand
firm, until the elections-the day Of re-
