The LOUISVILLE JoURNAL.-This
firm and consistent advocate of the
Union is now receiving the maledictions
of the abolition press of this State
Since their their triumph by decided
majority here, they have no further use
for Prentice. There is nothing further
to be gained by making the people be-
lieve that lie is wholly and entirely
with the Administration. All that he
has done against the rebellion therefore
amounts to nothing with them. His
Union shells have not the true African
ring. His fierce and cutting onslaughts
upon the rebels, that confoundS and ex-
terminates them, are not acceptable TO
the abolitionists, because they do not
apothcosizc the African. A failure to
do this, in their estimation, leaves a
man ''as likely to support Jeff. Davis as
anybody else" tits jeff. or Cuff with
them, and they can see nothing above
Cuff. In June, md prior to the August
election, Prentice gave correct view
Of the Republican party. de was
combating their heresies with ballot,
as we'll as the rebels with the bayonet,
as every true patriot ought to do. He
Subtitle Republican party is now
an out-and-out radical party-an abo-
lition party-a revolution party-a dis
union party. Upon its overthrow at the
ballot box depends the suppression of
the rebellion, the salvation of the nation,
and the cause of the country" The
Republicans treat this as having been
said since the Kentucky election, and
say that Prentice is 'letting himself
out" The ra>cals.
The weekly Butte record., 1863-10-17

UNANIMITY OF ARGUMEST.-The
argument Of the rebes and republicans
on the present phase of the war agree
exactly, and republican organs respond
that's proper view of the question:"
to rebel arguments. The Republican
policy suits the rebel leaders. 1t ena-
bles them to prove to their people that
the policy of the republicans is not for
arestoration of the Union, but for sub
iugation, the destruction of the labor
system of the South, and the total OBJ
liberation of States and civil rights 1t
pleases them to be able to do this, and
strengthens their determination and
their army. The people of the south
now see from the Administratio as well
as from the assurance of the rebel lead
ers, that they are to have no rights in
the Union under the constitution, and
are forced to fight for what they are
for what they would be-and what they
have, under the direction of the rebel
leaders. To incite them to this, the
Richmond Wing argues that, ''If it was
right that the United States should
make war upon US, it is right that it
should not only be waged until
We lay down our arms, but also
until we are brought to Il condition that
will render renewal cf the struggle
impossible" The republican argument
is that, it was right that the United
States should make war upon the rebels,
it is right not only that it should be
waged until they lay down their arms,
but also until they are brought to a
condition that will render a renewal of
the struggle impossible" 1t is to be
regretted that the Administration should
wage the war for anything more than a
restoration Of the Union, the supremacy
of the constitution, and the recovery of
the Federal property. But the issue
now is far beyond this. 1t is under
stood on both sides, and must be fought
o,t. The rebel leaders can ask nothing
farther of the republicans to enable
them to thoroughly unite the people of
the South. The republicans desired to
be released from the consideration that
there were Union citizens within the
territory claimed by the rebels, that
they might teat them all as enemies,
and they are likely to have their wish
by finding them so.
