We don't know any class Of men who pro-

rebel maa-l ltealera II prcfsssions made
patxiots, the CopperAeads would lead the
van, jotss thieves and blackguards talk
and profess most Of honesty and decency.
II bea patEicta . man must act like one.
He Who hates TREASON viii oppose it. He
who rsalIywands to put down the rebellion
will assist all who think likewise, in put
ting 4 down. He who defeats traitors will
act against them, not with them. He who
nnds himself associattng with traitors, and
opposing the acts and measures OF the gov
ernmsnt, finds himself pith them, because
he b Of them. No matter what he says, he
convtnces no one, not even himself that he

aasist in the utter ruin Of his country. He
decsives no one. He u . mere walking
specimen Of faulty and absurdity. II .
man wants to save the tree that shelters his
hearthstone, he dent apply his axe to its
trunk himself nor permit others to do so.-
II others attempt To-, apply Il, he stops
them. r he can't stop them alone he calls
as1istance. And he don't believe any one
Udnss to save the tree, who stands by and
sees the axe struck at its root, and does
nothing ts prevent It. Profession, then,
don't satissy him. He knows, It u false.-

So With the really patriotic. They know
that there can be no patriotism in the man
who stands quietly BY while traitors are
striking the AXE of rebellion to the roots Of
the Republic. Much less do they believe in
his professions when he attempts to re-
strain thosp who strive to stay the hands Of
the destroyer. That = ths poeition Of the
Democracy Thsy won't try
to save tho country. They won't let 9TH
ers rave It II they can prevent them.
