with birthstone, have generally applied it
with mixture Of hogs fat, or lard, worn for

ments which have either proved dangerou,
to health. or insufficient to effect cure
But this will as certainly cure the ITCH

age, habit or constitution, and attended with

Good Democratic Reading.

We invite til e attention of our democra-
tic readers to the description of Mcclellan as
given in the great Copperhead Convention
at Chicago.by some Of its delegates. We
have only space for few brief extracts,
Mr. Harris delegate from Maryland made
speech of which the followiog is speci-
men:
Mr. Harris continued / claim it as right
to state that one of the men you have NOM
mated is tyrant. Kisses and CHEERS.
Gen Mcclellan was the first man who in
augurated the system of usurping state
rights. [Uproar, This | can prove'and
pledge myself if you will hear met to prove
every charge in the indictment. And it is
the duty of a jury when a Echarge is made
which is proven, to convict and not reward
the offender.
After several Interruptions Mr.. Harris read
amidst great uproar and confusion, Gen.
McC lellan's order to Gen. Banks, directing
the arrest of the members of the Maryland
Legislature Said he
Sixteen months did Wallace, and Scott,
and their comrades and colleagu es, suffer
imprisonment withlnA the walls f,that prison,
deprived of the sympathy of their. friends
and tie comforts of home Sixteen long
months the prison doors were closed upon
them, and the man by whom they were
closed was George B. Mcclellan, whom you
vindicate as your favorite to-day. [Cheers
and disapprobation.l Well, sir, L look up
on the acts of General Mcclellan as not
striking at the free ballot Of the State of
Maryland, but as a tyranism over the State.
And all the charges you can make against
Abraham Lincoln and against Benjamin F.
Butler can make and sustain against this
man, George b. Mcclellan.
f1isses cheers, and great confusion.
Mr.. Harris then read the order of General
Mcclellan directing that troops be stationed
at the polls in Maryland to protect Union
voters. Interruptions, cries OF ''rhat's right"
| Good, good, etc, prevailed

Mcclellan on Arbitrary Arrests.

There is no subject on which the democra-
tic opposers of Mr.. Lincoln have made SOS
much noise about as that of arbitrary arrest
and the despotism of Military rule Every
copperhead at the street corner, has talked
loudly about free speech, constitutional rights
and how much there have been abused un-
der the Government of President Lincoln.
Now let it be understood that George B.
MCCLELLAN, the Copperhead candidate for the
Presidency, has gone further in whrt the,
enemies of Mr.. Lincoln call arbitrary arrests
than any other man in the public or militia
ny service of the country. Indeed Mr. Nc
Clelan was among the first in the history of
the war, to order the military arrest of c,i-
zehs.
On the 18th of September 1861 Mcclellan
issued on order to Gen. Bankst to arrest the
entire body of the Legislature of the state of
Maryland AS to the disposal Of the mem
bers of the Legislature after their arrest.
Gen. Mcclellan in his order says
! arrangements udFc DSGu Ill1buO w nave q
Government steamer at Annapolis to receive
the prisoners and carry them to their desti-
nation.
Some four or five of the chief men in the
affair are to be arrested to day. When they
meet on the 18th you will please have every
thing prepared to arrest the whole party,
aud be sure that noue escape.
This order of Gen Mcclellan was carried
out as fully as was practicable; some of the
members of the Legislature were imprisGa-
ed during period of fourteen months.
The Chicago Convention by the nornna
tion of Mcclellan of conrsc endorse his mil
tary career-therefore have endorsed militia
ry arrests on wholesale scale. After THU
ac ton Of the Chicago convention, will tn
copperheads have the efrontery and tn
knavery to complain about military arrests
by the administration of President Lincoln

Just out Of Jail

. Auy one who listened to the speakers who
held forth at the corners of the streets on
convention week i'll Chicago would have
readily inferred that large proportion of
them had just got out Of jail, and were now
enjoying their liberties after long conflne-
ment. The despotism of the administration
and its tyrannIcal imprlsonments for the OK
ercise of free speech, was the burden OF these
copperhead ortaors. Now what better proof
that these speech makers were traitors at
heart We challenge amy man III the CHI
cago convention or out Of it to lproduce all
instance, where any loyaL man Ill this coun-
try, has ever been nolested under the admin
stration of President Lincoln in his exerc ise
af free speech No loyal men can be produ-
ced, who has ever uttered any complaint IN
is own personal behalf, OF being restrained
in his word or action in matters relating to
the government 1t will be found III every
Instance that the men who complain Of their
liberties being abridged by the government,
are the men whose nearLS are 1u4l Vi ulSloy
atty and treason, and who are unhappy be-
cause they cannot without mourning the
penalties ofthe law, indulge i'll reasonable
words and acts, The old adage which says,
no rogue ever feels the halter draw with
good opinion Of the law, suits the case, of thess
whining northern traitors exactly. They
curse the law because it forbids their com
hitting the crime of treason. s.ta" -
One might suppose by the way copper
heads talk. that the law furnishing treason,
| came into existence nnder the adraiIiistra'
ton Of Mr.. Lincoln, The law of treason is
as old as the government; it has always
been defined to mean,. saidiug and abettine
the eneinie 50 fthe government"

War Democrats Suuelched..

Especial pains was taken by members of
the Chicago Convention, to heap odium and
contempt on that class Of our people, Who
call themselves war democrats" Among
the many expressions Of contempt for the
war democrats, that Of J. S. Crane,a leading
copperhead from Ohio, may be takenas a
sample. Mr.. Crane said,-"There is no
difference between war democrat and an
abolitionist. They are both links in the
same sausage, and both made Of the same
dog" There are many men in this section
of country who styled themselves war demo,
Gratis and who have beeu really what they
professed to be- We doubt whether these
war democrats, viii be much frightened by
the secession shriekers ofthe Chicago Con-
venion,

The Chicago Convention and the Soldiers.

The so called democratic platform winds
up by counting the vote Of the SOLDIER fol
Mcclellan. 1t tells the soldiers they evil
receive ali the care and attention, provided
the democrats get into power This is COO
impudeuce. What ''care and attention,
have the soldiers received thus far from the
democras as party? In the Legislature o.
every state, where provision has been made
allowing the soldiers the right to vote, the
the mersure has been opposed by the denl-
ocratic party.
Wherever the question of allowing soldiers
to vote, has been Submitted to the people, the
opposition has invariably come from the
democratic party.
1t is fact furthermore that four fifths of
of our soldiers now in the army are volun-
teers they have enlisted from q sense Of du-
ty to their country they feel that they are
engaged in righteous cause, and that they
are near the period when glorious triumph
for the Union will be achieved. But our
soldiers are virtually told by the Chicago
coperhead convention, that they are engaged
in a hopeless war; an unnatural and unrigh-
teous war that they have mistaken their
calling and had better stop fighting and 60
home. Can the soldiers regard such action
Of the Chicago convention, with any other
feelings than those of scorn and contempt
VIII they not justly regard it as gross in
suit to their patriotism ? All the soldiers
caught by such silly chaff as the Chicago
convention has thrown them, will not be
enough to elect constable in the smallest
country town in Wisconsin. s.a

Do Democrats Wish our Armies to b
Successful.

It is very generally admitted by the COP
perhead democracy of the north, that if vic
tories crown our Union armies for the next
two months, Mr.. Lincoln will be certain of
reelection to the Presidency.
Now asthe copperhead democracy are hav-
ing no effort unspared to defeat the election
of Lincoln, they of course dread the ida of
victory on the field Of battle by our armies
Every triumph of our brave soldiers dana.

defeat causes Mr.Ciellan's stock to rise. No
wonder then, our democratic neigiibors
look chopfaIlen when good news comes from
our army or navy.
