The One Hundred DAYS Men.

ner of May 18th. 1t is a specimen arti-
Gle Of the Copperhead press since the call
for one hundred days men was made
The curiosity Of our readers will be excl
ted by the enormous and wholesale lying
done in such small space and with such
eflrontcry. These enormous lies, and 9th
ers OF similar character, have been pro :
mnlgated all over the State, varied and
spiced according to the tastes and capaci-
ties Of the dirty rascals engaged in their
dissemination. In many counties the
Knights Of the Golden Circle rode from
farmhouse TO farmhouse ,endeavoring to
alarm The Democracy and prevent them
from going into the service telling the
most absurd aud mons,rous falsehoods,
and affecting great alarm and indignation
over the wicked designs of the Governor.
The Sentinel has the distinguished mer-
it Of having chalked out this line Of poll
cy. and set the example, which has been
improved upon by the Copperhead Press
and scullios in other parts of the State:
teif ONE HUNDRED DAY MEN.
Gov. Brough, Of Ohio. has furloughed
ed the Ten raised under his last procla-
nation until their services are needed,
which will be Immediately after the as
sembl;ng of the Chicago Convention; then
they will be1called into the service and
paid by the General Government to pro.
tect Abolition meetings and mob Demo
Gratis. And for the same purpose Gov.
Morton is organizing 20. 600 in Indiana.
1t is even now being whispered here in
Abolition circles that Butternuts will not
be allowed to vote this fill, "none but
loyal men," II this is the programme
that Morton and his friends intend to
adopt. it is time that the democrats were
preparing to meet them. And the first
step to be, taken is to advise democrats
not to volunteer. Let us show to the
world by example that we intend to main
tain the purity Of the ballot box. though
we do it ut the risk OF our lives. Every
Democrat should now prepare for the CON-
ing contest, and resolve to meet force by
force Let no man take counsel of his
fears, think not of home or friends, when
the deasest rights known to Americans are
about to he wrcncied from you; the man
who will stand silently by and see his
rights torn from him, through fear for his
life or property. deserves to be slave
But we thank God we have but few such
in the Democratic patty. Democrats are
as they always have been, willing to sub-
NIT TO any and every law. it matters not
how obnoxious or oppressive it may be.
until it can be repealed. But they never
will agree that their dearest rights shall
be taken from them in violation Of law, or
to perpe.uate the power Of the traitors.
who now rnle the government; nor will
we be among the journals that advocate
submission to the outrages that are about
to be perpetuated on the people of the
Northwest; on the contrary. we will advo.
cate resistance to the last. ai aJ
Brlievingas as we DO. that resistance to
Lincoln's usurpatioHs is obedience to
God, we will do all in our powerto rouse
the people to resistance. If any attempt is
made to interfere with the elections either
by bayonets or test oaths. Morton may
make his threats and boast Of soldier; de-
stroying Democratic Offices, bu. ere the
spring Of 1865 has dawned. he will find
that he has kindlcd fire in the breast Of
the people. that never will be quenched
until he and kis brother traitors are ex-
PEELED from power. And instead Of in
timidating Democratic journals bv threats
of mob violence. he will find that they de-
fy his power. We hurl his threats back
with supreme contempt. We are opposed
to calling out 90, 900 men at this time to
secure the election, of 0. r. Morton. and
will advise our readers not to volunteer.
and if Democrats will stand back he will
never raise the number he wants. for the
Abolitionists have no stomach for fight
