An Abolition BIOckhead.


An Abolition BIOCkhead.
The fellow employed to dish up the
Shiny trash that burdens the columns of
the Cleveland Herald, in his eageness to
spit his venom at the EMPIRE, writes him
self down an ass. He says the "EMrIRE
of the 10th inst, has iesuitical article,
designed to discourage enlistments." The
article referred to is the one in which we
urged all such blatant warites, and lip
patriots as the editor of the Herald, to
volunteer and save the State from draft.
We appealed to them because they have
expressed themselves in favor of the war,
of the "last man and the last dollar
and we did not expect any of them ito
get angry at being asked to do what they
are continually urging upon others, oiz' to
volunteer. Bnt we were mistaken. The
HerdH man has taken it all to himself,
and wakes wrath because we esinvlted him
to enlist and put in practice what he Is so
fond Of preaching. Let it be recorded
that the lip-patriot who presides over the
Cleveland Herald, is in high dudgeon be-
oause we invited and appealed to him to
volunteer and share the hardships and pri-
vatons of the common soldier, But we
might have known better. Who ever
heard of Loyal Lacquer going into the
army as volunteer They take it as an
insult when asked to enlist.
But the Heraid man writes himself down
an ass when he assails the EMPIRE for
publishing, as a matter of news, JEFF.
DAVIS speech to the rebel troops at Mo
bile. The Herald quotes part of the
speech, and remarks;
Upon such coarse garbage as this does
the Empire regale its readers-and thus holds
itself out to the world at once as the organ OF
JEFF Davis and the gentleman in Canada.
ls il possible that such a sheet, with such a
spirit aud with such an object, undsguised in
its reasonable manifestations, can be sustain
ed or permitted in loyal State ?
Now this very same speech of JEFF.
DAVIS with which "the EMPIRE regaled
its readers" was published in the Cincin-
natl Commercial and gazette, in the New
York TriJane, and in almost every lead
ing Abolition sheet in the country. The
"copy" from which it was set mp for the
EMPIRE was taken from the Commercial.
Upon such coarse garbage" did these
Abolition sheets "regale their readers
and thus hold themselves out to the world
at once as the organs Of JEFF. DAVIS -
In the language of the Herald, sis it pos
sible such sheets can be sustained or per-
mitted in loyal State ?" What a con.
smnmate ass the fellow must be. But
what better can be expected of such a
blind fanatic In his narrow, contracted
view, anything an Abolitionist may do is
loyal, right ana proper, but a Democrat is
"traitor" for doing the very same thing
This puritanical spirit is what has brought
all the trouble and ruin upon the country
Mr. Lincoln has brought his family into
Washington for the winter. Mrs Lincoln
will keep house in hospitable style the com
ing season. Dinner-parties, leeves, &c, viii
abound after New Year Washington will bl

quarters that some kind of a check will b'

could not enter decent drawingroom in thu
country, have wiped their dirty boots on th'
carpet of the magnificent East Room at thei
pleasure. fit is proposed that in the futur,
only clean, wellbehaved men shall be le
