EWe copy the above from the
Gallipolis Journal Of the 18th inst
We are glad to see SO favorable and
fiatterIDg a notice Of our friend Haw.
ley from such reliable source. With
the utmost Difference and respect we
would request our cotemporary OF the
Jour nal or Mr. Hawley to define "Loy-
atty" and its application in this "reve-
nue" business. For instance, is a man
who in the 6Tst Of the rebellion favored
secession, but after General Cox took
possession of the Valley, and issued his
proclamation, promising the projections
of the Government of the United
States to all who would give up their
open opposition to the U. S. Govern
ment. and pursue their occupations as
peaceful law-abiding citizens, and have
complied with the conditions of that
proclamation and of all others of a
similar character from other comman-
ders and OF the President, esteemed as
loyal and entitled to the benefits Of the
Revenue laws. though be may not act
as a Union man or as seeesh?
Another question the people up here
would like to have answered. Are
these revenue restrictions Mr.. Hawley
is required to enforce applicable to
Ohio, and does be enforce them against
the male and female copperhesds of
that State?-Kanawha Republican.
Loyalty with us means unwavering
support Of the Government, without
any "ifs" or shuts" We have no con-
fdence in any man who, in the tremen-
dous contest now going on, does mot
act as Union man or as a secesh,"
any more than we have in the religion
of man. whose practice and principles
are so carefully guarded as to give the
Devil no real ground Of offence. An
open enemy deserves more respect, than
pretended friend, whose neutrality
amounts 10 nothing. ,af
Mr.. HAwEEY, SO far as practicable,
enlorces the revenue restrictions against
eopperheads of Ohio, as well as rattle-
snakes Of Virginia. The former resi-.
ding where whiskey, and other neces-
saries are plenty, are not required to
call on him for permits. which is the
only advantage they have over the lat
ter reptiles. though We know of cases
wherein the efforts of both combined
failed to procure the desired Object
One great difficulty Mr.. Hawley has
to overcome, is the permits granted by
commanding Generals on Kanawha, to
men they must know. are neither loyal
nor well calculated to deal in whiskey.
Until this evil is remedied it is idle to
talk Of restricting shipments to loyal
men only.
