ton. Otherwise all the laws of nature
as applied TO civil government will be
violated, and our people viii pay pen
atty that is terrible to contemplate.
81. That the proposition to allow less
than one-tenth of the inhabitants of some
Of the States to govern more than nine
tenths of the same State, deserves the
unqualified condemnation Of every
American either"
According to this resolution, if there
is a population of 100000 in State
Arkansas for instance-and but 10000
are loyal, the 10000 rebels should con
troll the destinies Of that State, even Is
thereby the State be hopelessly aIienated
and separated from the old Unisn and
all its precious privileges and associa-
.ions.
The Union party holds that rebel
has forfeited all his political rights under
the Constitution, and has no right what
ever. to exercise any control in civil az
fairs-not even to vote-untii pardoned
BY the Government and thereby restored
10 what was bis former status, before he
rebelled. On the contrary, the Copper
heads of the First District declare, in
effect, that the 10000 loyal people in the
State should be carried, nOlens rolens,
into rebellion against their Government
if the 1000 traitors so decree.
This doctrine, If carried out, would
render recontruction impossible, and
would make permanent disruption Of
the Union produced by the .doetrine set
forth in resolution /.
So it seems that while the motto Of
the Union men is The Union, the Con-
stitusion, and the Enforcement of the
Laws the Copporhead motto is, Re-
bellion, Anarchy, and Abrogation of all
Law" Which ia. the motto for Aneri-
cans who love liberty, yet respect the
Constitution and the Laws.
Resolutions third and fourth consist OF
indefinite charges against the Admins
tralion of violations Of the Constitution
usurpation Of power, designs against oul
free institutions, efforts to establish q
monarchy upon the remains of the Re
public, and condemnation for the sus
pension Of the writ of habeds corpus, and
imprisonment Of citizens contrary to the
forms OF law and the usages Of the Gov
eminent
The Cincinnati Enquirer comm emit,
on these pitiful charges, as made in the
State Copperhesd platform, effectually
disposes of Them. (See the Daily Jour
nal of the 2lst Of july
These charges are characterized by th'
Enquirer as consisting of "showy rheto
ric, empty generalities, or factious indig
nation upon minor points" The En-
quirer accuses the getters-up of the In
dianapolis resolutions-some Of WHOM
must have taken a hand at Princeton
Of carrying water on both shoulders,
and being "prestidigitators," which il
plain English means jugglers, sleight-Of
hand performers We leave the Sd and
4th resolutions between the Times and
Enquirer.
9Th, That we are in favor Of the RICH
Of asylum, the enforcement Of the Mon
roe doctrine, and the protection Of tht
working men Of this country against ~
rsnnical military orders, similar to tbos
recently issued by General Roseeran
and Bur6ridge in their respective militia
ry districts"
So are the UnIon men in favor of ID
right of asylum for honest men, but no
for scoundrels like Arguelles. D.
the Democrat" of this district wish t
see the outlaws of the world vomited o.
oar shores7 They must be, for ,hei
convention has declared doctrine whic
will lead to this result. Once let it b.
settled that thieves, murdsrers, and oths
dssperadoes caR come to the Unite
States and be safe from pursuit Of jui
tiee, and the land will be converted int
Botany Bay. Do oar people wish th
eoustry to be made a convict colony
They can have it so by establishing
doctrine which allows criminals to Gem
here, and reside with impu nifty.
As regards the enforcement of th
Monroe Doctrine, the Copperhsads hav
no monopoly in this article Of. faitl
They show great zeal in this beha
just now, because they wish (sonie {
them) to embroil the country in fol
eign war in the hope that Slavery an
Southern Aristocracy may be saved, an
the Democratic" party reunited Mort
and South. The Union men favor ii
vindication ofthe Monroe Doctrine q
the proper time-that is, when We &c
she Rebellion off our hands. "0ne we
at time" we say.
|. The third clause of the 9Th resolution
in regard to the protection of the work
ing men, lis frs,-class piece of dems
goguery, eminently worthy Of the clicqu
of heartless office-seekers from whom
emaaated. Intelligent working men
will appreciate it at its true value. Tn
nartx which seeks to DRAG down worLin,
men by advocating system which de
grades manual lator to a mental EN-
ployment-a system which has made Ia
Dor dishonorable in the Slave States an,
will do the same in the North if th,
Democratic" party can ever establish
+ it here-we say that such party is
beautiful one to talk about upholdinI
