Why Not Shoulder Your Musket

When conperheai is cornered in sn
srgum ent by a Union man, and when ne
has nothing more TO advance in favor of
the Rebels, \ favorite mode of ending
the dispute is 70 assert that every man
who believes i'll MAR should shoulder his
musket and go 10 the front, This sounds
. eoayinGinG. and the Copperhead always
looks aroun for the approving smiles OF
his audience, when he has succeeded in
making this ..point." But let us Sc.
how much there Is in it. Suppose il
were possible that every man who be
heved that the war should be waged
should enter the ranks and assist in the
effort to crush the rebellion, thus leav.
ing noaie oiny t.suSe y o think the
war wrong, how long would the soldiers
in c field be supported? If their pay
dep nded upon men NJ home and il every
ms at home believed that the cause in
Which they were engaged an unholy
cause. how long would the army be
maintained? We have George II. Pen
dieton as AN example of what these stay
! at home peace men would do, if they bad
the entire control.
While it is desirable that the army
should draw into its ranks rs many men
as possible. it is not desirable that all
the Union men should go. Some arc
needed at home to prevent the Copper
heads from stabbing the soldiers in the
back. We never heard that BENJAMIN
Franklin, or John Hancock. or Patrick
Henry, or Robert Morris. ever shoulder
ed musket during the Revolution, and
yet history awards them as much credit
for the successful issue of the war, as il
does the Generals and soldiers. The
financial abilities of Robert Morris, alone,
did as much toward the success Of our
| efforts to secure independence rs the
battles fought during the seven years,
struggle.
The truth is, that the Copperhesd.
desire every Union man to go into the
army, and thus leave to them the Civil
Departments. them rest in peace
The army will be kept up without weak
ening the force at home; and "thats
what the matter"

The rebs have tramped down our fields,
DESTROYED our walls AMI ditcleS,
But Al, can build the fence again,
Ani AMI mend the breaches.
Lincoln is the man we need;
johnson, too, Is handy;
Yankee Doodle, boys hurrah
For Uncle Abc and Andy
We've got Grant from Abraham,
To beat tine rebels hollow
Aud when we have man to lead,
Why, we're the boys to follow.
Old Butler thinks the way to fight
l. with the gun and sabre
And sioesn't see that "Conirabands'
Are "iugitves from labor"
The copperheads begin TO squirm,
The rebs are looking surly,
Since Sheridan has made them run,
BY fighting late and Early
And of our gallant Sherman now
We feel a little prouier,
Because he's made a lively Hood,
BY stirring rebs with powder.
Our country in the Navy, too,
Has many a brave defender;
There's Farragut knows how To shoot,
And make the Toe surrender.
Poor little Mac has taught this fact,
For which we owe him one vote,
"Napoleonc strategy
In hiding gunboat!
Wen have a man for President
Whose courage never fails him,
That common sense which built the fence
Is just the thing that ails him!
