4 Beautiful Specimen Of COWs Is
teBcy.
The editor of the Republican, in
his paper of last week, in speaking Of
the resolutions passed by the Democ-
racy of this couRty, thus alludes to
the sixth resolution:
The 9th resolution deno,nces the
Emancipation Proclamation Of the
President "as'' ''anact of Executive usur-
patton and measure of great injustice
10 the nation To deprive the rebels
of the means Of carrying on this war
is, in the estimation Of the ButterASts
of Harrison county, "a HaessRrc Of
great injustice" and they declare that
such acts should be promptly con-
dymned.
In the estimation of Mr.. Hatton it
is all wrong for the Democracy OF
Harrison county to say anything
against President Lincoln's Emanci-
patton Proclamation. lie says;-"To
deprive the rebels Of the means of
carrying on the war, is, in the estima-
lion of the Butternuts Of Harrison
eoNnty, "a measure of great injustice. "
That sounds very patriotic, coming
from such "puroly loyal man" as Mr..
Hatton. He can't find language Sc
we're enough to use against the Demo-
Gratis of Harrison county for passing
such resolution. In his destination
by saying anything against the Proc
lamation, they commit an unpardona,
ble sin. But is this Mr.. Hatton con-
sistent? Does he find fault with Re
publicans who speak against the Proc
lamation? Let us see. In the same
number of his paper, in which he
uses the abeye language, we find the
following:
We have received a copy of the cx'
cellent speech recently delivered ii
the Senate, by Mr.. Welch of this Dis
trict, in support of the patriotic reso
lutions previously submitted by HIN

next issue of this paper.

'cxcellent" one, and he intends to la,
