Embarrassing the Administra'
tion.

The present administration is more ca
silly "embarrassed" than any that ever ex-
listed before. Every one who votes in op-
position to the abolition ticket, or dissents
in the slightest degree from the general
policy or any given measure Of the admin
istration, according to the abolition theory,
"embarrasses' the administration, and
consequently is rebel sympathizer. To
doubt the infalibility Of Mr.. Lincoln, or TO
intimate that any mistakes or rascalities
have been committed during his official
sa.eer or to speak lightly of the negro
is conclusive evidence of ar Intention to
embarrass the Government. The political
Generals, the Shoddy contractors, the
abscondiug agents with thousands OF dol
lars belonging to the soldiers, do not in the
least embarrass the administration. In
fact, it is impossible for any Abolitionist
to "embarrass, - no matter what he may
do.
If at any time Democrat happens to
suggest that the President takes good care
Of his own interests, or is using bis power
for political purposes, be is secuted and
pronounced "dsloyal." Ii is possible that
Democrats have as much at stake in this
contest, and have as much interest in the
success of their country, as has even Mr.
Lincoln or any of his paid agents. They
have patiently made sacrifices, and are
willing to do so to any extent necessary tc
put down this rebellion, but rather obiec
to the unfair and mean disposition mani
tested against them solely on account o
their political opinions. What a ricket,
administration this must be that is embar
assed as easily as its best friends make i
out to bs.

to preside at mass meeting Of the people

day last, at Cooper Institute, New York,
replied as follows:
II will be in New York, God willing, on
the evening of the meeting. If the friends
of Nc Jlellan and the country, in New
York, think that it would best further the
cause for me to preside, you are at liberty
TO make the the announcement / am
losing my patience in reading Gen. Nc
Clellan's report The injustice done him,
aud the attrocious wrong to his noble army
and the country, are enough to make the
blood Of honest and patriotic men boil

Show 'en Up.

The Syracuse journal relates . little
incident that occurred in that town few
days since, when deserved rebuko was
given by couple Of ladies to one of the
black.topguad Union Ledguers, that are
sternally and upon all occasions annoying
and insulting peaceable and loyal demo-
Gratis. He states "that upon entering
store young man noted for his intense
Leoguism was sitting near the counter
reading news journal. He hi: upon
.irade of abuse against the "copperheads,"
and at once supposed he had good thing
on hand. Near the counter purchasing
groceries, were two ladies, one Of them
dressed in deep mourning. Hearing some
sausal remark dropped about the shinplas
ter currency, the young man threw down
the newspaper, and in loud voice COM
menced anathematsing all Demoeratsw who
did not sympathso with the administra-
tion, stigmati'ing them as brutes, cow
ards, copperheads, traitors, &c, &C. Fer
a time no one noticed the gallant Union
Lenguer's remarks, and he grew more vi
Imperative and vehement in his denunci-
alton of "Copperheads." At last one of
the ladies turned halfround upon him, and
remarked that that was pretty language
for gentleman to usein public store.
The gallant young man sneeringly an
swersd that bis language was good enough
for Copperheads and all who sympathize
with them" This was too much to be
endured, and the other lsdy-the one
dressed in notwithstanding upon her
heel, swept up with q sort of indignant
movement towards her insulter, and look
iug the young man full in the eye, said,
sarca.tically: Sir my husband is De-
inocras-a 'COpperhead, as you term them
and he is now on the battle field with
musket in his hand. My only brother
was Democrat, aud be laid down his life
at Anietam, fighting under General Nc.
Clellan for his country-while you, poor
pisful wretch and disgraced coward, are
here sitting by the stove cursing at men
whose shoe latches you are unworthy to
tie up. Why don't you, young, able bod
led and vigorous as you are, take up .
mxsket and 60 and fight for the cause you
pretend to have SO much at heart, instead
of sitting here insulting brave mon through
their wives. I, sir, lost brother at An
tietam, and I regret it the more now, that
he is not here to chastise your insolence
upon the spot The League wited-he
did not see things in that Highland after
stammering, "hemming" and having"
and scratching his head in vain for re.
ply, he turned sickly pale, picked up biz
hat and left. We vouch for the truth o.
the above, and it is only one incident ou
d many.
