oan can never elevate itself above the
partisan Demagogue. Open and fair
discussion it cannot tolerate. Argu-
ment is thing not thought Of by it,
but contentsitself with therepetition of
n few stercotypcd expressions. No
difference what the subject, it will not
attempt argument, but, with the low
trickery of the Demagogue, seeks to
silence all opposition to the Abolition
party, by calling all who believe differ
emily secession sympathizers, cop
perheads," &c. Adopting the maxim
of the Helper book that "No man can
be patriot without first becoming an
Abolitionist," it breaches FROM the
text with all the fanaticiSm Of a reli-
gious bigot.
Last summer, last fall, and even up
to Il late date this spring, the Repub-
Hcan contained editorials insisting up
On the Republicans to keep up their
party organization; that because the
war was in progress there was no na>
ccssity Of dissolying parties, and in
long, labored articles, "pitched into
Davy Tod, and other ''Union' Demo
Gratis, and urged their example upon
Republicans as an argument for the
continuance Of their party organize
ton.
But now q "change has come Ger
the spirit of his Dream" and Mr..
Hatton is now as Jealous for the
Union" organization as he was be-
fore for the strict Republican. Be-
fore, he was ready to denounce all
who would not submit themselves to
the tender mercies of the Republican
organization as "traitors. " Now he
insists that all who will no t favor the
Aboljtionized "Union' party are in
sympathy with the rebels.
The leading article in last weeks
Republican is one of the instances of
this demagoguc> spirit. 1t is there
urged that because the Democratic
party is opposed to, the Illegal seizure,
mock trial, and the before unheard Of
sentence of BANIsuMEST Of distin-
guished statesman and patriot, they
are all sympathizors with the rebels.
Now, Mr.. Hatton, you must have a
very ignorant class Of readers, if you
can stuff them with such stories as
that. Why there is not leading Re-
publican paper in the country that en-
dorses this action Of the Administra-
tion. They all denounce it from the.
Tribune and Evening Post down to
the Anti-slavery Standard, with the
exception Of the n. Y. Times. Even
that staid old sheet, the National ln>
tcllengcr, felt compelled to thrust in
the face Of the Administration, the
"LAW in the CASE" and you cannot
make the people of Harrison coun~
ty believe that this is Unreasonable, "
or that their neghbors and friends
who act with the Democratic party
are "disloyal,' or that they are in
sympathy with the rebellion, for such
reason or any other. They know them
too we'll as some Of the best citizens
Of the county, and as gentlemen Of
high-toned patriotism. Such silly stuff
is filing them with disgust, and you
might as well spare yourself the i'm
mense labor you perform in writing
such articles. You call all Democrats
traitors, and byyour approval Of the
sentence of Vallandighan, you think
they ought to be sent South; at the
same time you talk of subauing the
rebellion Now, suppose all Demo-
Gratis were '.traitors, and suppose
you could send them all South, what
would the effect be? There are over
100000 Democratic voters in Ohio,
and "an immense multitude which no
man could number - and they are the
majority Of the North. If they ARE
rebels, and were sent South, where
would the army come from that would
r defeat them. But Mr.. Hatton believes
no such silly stuff. His sole object is
to work on ignorance to get votes for
the Abolition party.
The Republican says further that
the Democracy are opposed to the
Conscription act, and call that "trea-
SON. Was the Republican in favor
IF the Fugitive Slave law, even after
it had stood the tests of the highest
courts in the government? But the
Republican will say it is different in
war times than in time Of peace. Is
the Republican in favor of the Fugi-
tive Slave law, NOW? Does not the
