BURLINGTON WE
@-Mr. Salisbury declared the othel
day that the Democratic party would
stand by the right Of trial by jury and
liberty of speech, peaceably if possible
but, by the ,etermGl gods, forcibly if w
mustv' We always thought Salisbury wa.
one Of the heather. It seems to us that tn,
above demonstrates the tact. It also show,
that Salisbury is a great liar. The "Dem
ocratic party deliberately denied negroes
the right Of trial by jury, and Judge fancy
says they cannot appear in Court of thu
United States. The Democratic party
always suppressed liberty of speech in thu
South and would do it in the North if i,
could. It wants to talk treason. That's
what ails Salisbury and the rest.
Nc Munger 4 Armour's extensive grain
elevator, at Chicago, caught fire on last
Monday afternoon, but fortunately was
saved from destruction by the well-directed
exertions of the fremen. 1t contained
several hundred thousand bushels of grain.
of which one hundred thousand were more
or less injured by water. We hope people
will keep good watch over these large el-
evators. This is not a good time to con-
sumo grain by fire. Its loss Just now is
not to be measured by dollars aud cents
Look out for the great storehouses. twill
pay to guard them vigilantly.
~ The rebels refuse to exchange negro
soldiers taken prisoners by them for White
rebels taken prisoners by us! They won
give black man, who they say can't fight,
for white one, capable Of whipping five
yankees!' If that isn't putting the negro
abope the white, what is?
But the truth is, they are exactly con-
sistent in their conduct. They don't care
anything about the white man who does
not belong to their aristocracy. It is of no
importance to them what becomes of the
"poer white trash" as they call them, and
they do care for the "nigger." Niger
is the base of their own nobility. Without
Niger white man is but "trash," So
they naturally hold on to what they deem
most valuable. John c. Breckenridge sheds
tears over the loss of his horse. He sheds
none over the death Of white men. But
what an ocean would deluge the South,
were the miserable cuss'' to lose his
slave!
ED- The Copperheads are very earnestly
"laboring" with those who are disposed to
have faith in Fremont. The Copperheads.
just now, have nothing but praises for the
Pathfinder. They don't ask the radicals
to turn traitors. But they are very solic-
itous to pursuade them that there is pos-
sibility if not probability that all the
Copperheads are, out Of mere spite against
Lincoln, going to support Fremont! We
should imagine that genuine radical
would feel delighted at these assurances
Of the rascals 1t must make loyal man
elated to learn that his conduct meets with
the decided approval Of those who he
k'aoacs co-conspiratorswi with rebels and trait
ors! What happiness it must be, indeed

10 The friends and supporters of JEFF. |
Davis, in Kentucky, had a Convention the |
other day. They adopted number of res
olutions which show, partially, at least,
where the rascals stand. One of them en-
dorses the resolutions of 1898 and l7oo.-i
Another declares coercion of the rebel
lious States unconstitutional. A number
Of others are in denunciation of the Admin
stration, President Lincoln, and all Union
men, and declares that their primary object
IS TO defeat Lincoln and johnson, and that
hey will support the nominee Of the Chi
,ago Convention. And there is not one
Oord against the rebels or the rebellion, on
n faUor Of the Unton, Yet these fellows
all themselves "Democrats" That is the
sort OF men who propose going to Chicago.

A-Tom. Hyer, the pugilist, for many
years the champion Of the prize ring in this
died at his residence in New
York, on the 18th of June. His death
seems to have been somewhat sudden,
hough his health had been failing for sew
sral years past. He went home late on the
hight Of the Goth, complained of being un-
we'll, grew rapidly worse, and died about
'ix o'clock next morning.
