overwhelming response Of the Nation.

At the National Guard pouring out

There are 4S6 organized companies in

markable for boldness and ingenuity Of

which is gathering in the rear Of
Richmond. lees force is estimated at

notwithstanding tho late disasters
in Gen, Banks Department, he is said
to beagain saroute to Shreveport, with

(which was the principle cause Of his
return to Grand Ecore--and with his
army entirely recovered from the El.
tigues of its late marches and severe
fighting, ready 10 strike telling blow

elared that, if Mr.. Lincoln is nomina.

The friends Of Fremont are the most
impolitic and impracticable set of dis
organizers in tho country. With the
heart of tho people against them, de-
manding the reelection Of Mr.. Lin.
coln they are crying down the Pres
ident through their journals, demand
ing the postponement Of the National
Convention, and threatening schism
like the Fillmore schism in 1856 which
elected Buchanan. This is both un-
wise and unpatriotic, No man can
be truc patriot who at this time will
do anything to divide tho friends Of
the Union. They profess to oppose
4 Mr. Lincoln because he is not radical
enough on the slavery question, be-
cause they want the confscation of all
the property Of the rebels, and because
the Monroe Doctrine has been violated
during his administration The pco,
! PIC are unable to see how Fremont can
abolish slavery any more rapidly than
: Lincoln has, or how no can conGscate
: the property Of rebels before getting
! possession of it, or how he will prevent
the infringement of the Monroe Doc
t trine. Has Fremont several hundred
millions of dollars and an army Of SOW
D cral hundred thousand men to spare
. for war with France?
The fact is, that the friends of Ere
mont havc but one object, viz to de
n feat Mr.. Lincoln. And it seems tha
o Mr.. Fremont is not patriotic enough
J. to mako any personal sacrifice for tn
!. good Of tho country. Any man VIII
It will allow his name to be used at thi

ia patriot. The example of Mr., Chase i

AS n sample Of what caused Demo-
Gratis 10 arm, werefer to the statement
in another column of tho desperate,
bloody riot at Greenville, which oc-
curreda few days ago. Thousands of
simular cases mightbe cited. Not one
word of censure do We hear from the
Gazette against these frequent and ter
rible outrages of law aud order, and
violations Of civil rights. By its ST.
,lence, it gives tacit indorsement;---
Eagle,
We admit that it is just such affairs
as the Greenville affair for which Cop
perhcads arm themselves. They armed
themselves to Hclcan on" some soldiers
of the Goth Ohio, sent over the coun-
try for their bullies, gathered together
about 40 of them, rendezyouzed in the
office ofAllen s. Corbin, two Greenville
Coppcrheads, and about twelve or one
o'clock at night, as five of the soldiers
were escorting ladies home from par
| ty, began firing upon them from the
Office The soldiers saw the ladies
home, got their muskets, returned,
and drove out the Copperheads. This
is why the Copperheads arm them
selves, to hide in the dark and waylay
unarmed soldiers. No doubt there is
a paper in Darkc county, which, like
the Eagle, advises them to arm.
AS another Sample of what caused
Democrats to arm" we refer to The
Coles county affair, an account o
which we published several weeks
since, in whicha large number of Cop
Eperheads, armed to tho teeth, came tt
town with the avowcd purpose ofmur
doring soldiers, and began an indis
crimate and unprovoked slaughter O
