INToLEnABLY MnAN.

In the eyes of honorable men, the efforts
of the treason-sympathising Copperhead
party to break down the Government and
destroy the Union which has done so much
for civilization and the rights of man, ap-
pear indescribably mean and contemplate.
This attempt Of the saveocracy to ruin the
nation, to blast the hopes. the progress, the
prosperity OF thirty millions of people, be-
cause they will not tamcly bow down and
worship the sable iniquity-negro slavery
is the elimination of conspiracy that
will live in all future history as the
most atrocious and diaboical act Of
wickedness ever perpetrated by man since
the world began.
To have conceived the idea of overthrow
ing the Government was considered by dis
tinguished American staicsmen-now nc
mOre-to be the height of political crimi-
nality and folly but to combine, and by
force of arms actually to engage in its de.
struction in bloody conflict on the field, was
to them, so cruelty heiuous even in the ina
gination, that the mind turned from the
thought with a shudder, as one Of the i'm
possible things OF the time. And yet it has
come to pass
To-day can be found, men who owe al
their success in life to the great prosperit,
and equal laws of the Union, banded to
gether, in one section of the country in opel
battle array, and in another in secret bu
not less hostile opposition to the constitute,
authorities of the land, determined to crusl
out the last vestge of human liberty an,
progress in the destruction of the Union.-
How mean How basely vile aud contempt
ible !! Could the spirit of Andrew Jackso
come from its place of halowed rest, an
pass over the little State of Delaware
State whose patriotism and fidelity to tn
Constitution he recognized and esteemed
as one of the truest of the old thirteen-O
who could depict the withering scorn an
reproach it would hurl upon the head Of Mi
Charles Brown, the Representative oppc
nent Of his countrys unity, as it bade hii
depart from the presence of honest an
honorable men, and seek speedy shelter
the black perdition prepared for traitors an
'hair allies Pat ,Ls rresance of the spir
of the old Hero is not necessary. His lon.
eveutful life wholly devoted to the ser
vice of his country is standing rebuke t
traitors, whether they be Brown or Coppe
color. May they all sink together, beueat
the power of that illustrious mans example
made still more potential by decided victor
to the Union cause through the ballot bo
and the cartridge box.

TIE REPUTATION Of Hon. y. b. Smithers
stands so far above attack or reproach, that
even that vile Copperhead sheet, the Della
warean, edited and owned by Salisbury can
say nothing harder against him than that he
is an Abolitionist. This is the song Of the
rebels. The tune has long ago been played
OUT. The armies Of the Union are also
called AbolitioDistsi and SO indeed is every
defender of the national cause. But the
term has lost its power to scare people,
Every honest, loyal man is now an Aboli.
zionist, or anything else that will save the
country. Such an Abolitionst is Mr..
smithers. lie will abolish Brown on elec.
tion day.

If THE RECORD of old Mr.. Brown of New
Jersey were clear of all other political mis-
takes, the fact of his having his whole
heart" in the Southern secession cause.
through Copperheadism, would be enough
to sink him in the eyes of loyal men. lie
distinctly avows that 4" his whole heart" is
with the party which to-day is giving aid
and comfort to the enemy and upholdug
Vallandigham treason, to the great delight
of the leaders of the rebellion. such a man
cannot be our Congressman.

al AN NOW in my sixty-seyenth year," said
Mr.. Brown, to the Copperhead Convention
that nominated him to be beaten for Con
gress. Only think of it An old man OF
nearly three score years and ten declaring
his acquiescenee in the resolves of the party
opposed to the country and the government
of our fathers! We pity MIR, BroMo. Born
in New Jersey pampered and fed at the
public crib in Pennsylvania, it has been left
to Delaware to give public expression and
force to the popular indignation that sur
rounds him in his dotage And it will be
done.

excellent selection. Charles was entirely

and could not have been nominated here

Tue FRIENDS Of Charles Brown, of New
Jersey who aspires to represent Delaware
IN Congress, give as one of the virtues of
their candidate that he has mot allowed his
brain to be cracked They seem to look
upon it as an important point in his favor
that he has a thick skull To the niger
party which he represents, it is doubtless a
very distinguished consideration. But with
nelawareans, we take it that thick-headed.
ness is not a sufficient inducement for them
to 80 to Jersey for an old man of nearly
seventy years to misrepresent them in Con-

AN ANONYMOUS WRITER IN the Gazette saws
that Mr.. Tinder-box Brown is a true Chris
tian, and obeys the behests Of his Creator,
1t this be so, we would like to know who
created Mr.. Brown. The Bible tells US that
" the powers that be are ordained of God =
and that "whosoever resisteth the power
resisteth the ordinance Of God, and tbey
that resist shall receive unto themselves
damnation.' Here we have one of the abe
hests' of the great Creator Of the universe
recorded in his inspired Word. 1t oppose,
treason, secession, rebellion; and forbid.
resistance to the constituted authorities ol
the land MIR. Brown sets his face against
this divine command, and endorses. or SYM
pathises with treason and traitors. and We,
he is calleda Christian. Bible Christianit,
denounces MIR. Brown and his co-workers il
rebellion, and tells them plainly that the,
are working unto themselves damnation.-
Mr.. Browns Christianity being Of the Con
perhead sort, is like his loyalty-weak ant
spurious.
