THE UNION RECORD.
ORovILLE, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 8.

THEIR True SESTMESIs.-Governor Hunt
a delegate to the Copperhead National Con
yention from New Y ork. offered the following
resolution. which much more clearly EXPRESSES
the sentiments of that party than does the
platform they have published. This Union
loving Democrats resolution reads thus:
Resolred That We Democrats are 10 favor
Of an armistice TO enable US by earnest aud
honorable efforts to adjust terms of settlement
and Union, 90 the basis of the Constitution
Of the Confederate States.
Under the Constitution Of the Confederate
States" JEFF Davis is President, slavery is
universal, and the "mudsills" of the North are
an inferior race. Are Union men desirous Of
establishing peace on such terms? Would not
war protracted forever, the expenditure Of
every dollar 10 the country, and the sacrifice
of its best and noblest blood, be preferable?
Despite the Jesultical evasions of their plat
form, which may be read as favoring both
peace and war, the saving of the Union and lis
destruction, Gov. Hunts resolution expresses
the true sentiments of the Copperbead party.

SEVERAL boat-loads of uniforms picked up
on various battle fields, arrived at New Y ork
the other day, from Fortress Monroe. Que
cargo comprised nearly fifteen hundred complete
suits, stripped from the fostering corpses of
those who have fallen in battle or pershed in

will wear second hand garments, aud don't

TRE PEACE CASDIDATE-The Shasta
Courier thus speaks Of him:
Little Mac-ltte General, too; little poll
ticieh little loyalty little consistency little
honesty; represents a little party with little
principle, aud only becomes grand-big-
the magnificent humbug that blinded the
American people when he commanded their
armies. Now he is a little humbug-great
ouly in itteness. Imagine Mcclellan utierng
these words Shall it be said in after ages
that We lacked the vigor to complete the work
thus begun? Forbid it heaven, and give US
irmer, truer hearts than that" We opine
that heaven will not forbid it being said in
after times that in ten short weeks after the
words were uttered, be who spoke lacked the
vigor and became candidate for the Pres-
dency on a platform that urges an armisiice,
and demands OF the Government humiliating
compromise,

ON the line of the Atlantic and Great West
ern Railway, near Wooster, Ohio, the embank-
ment and track lately disappeared in a most
mysterious manner. Upon examination ii was
found that about one hundred feet of the road
had sunk and was continuing to sink, while in
the cavity formed black mud and heavy streams
OF water gushed from below. With the water
there were thrown up number of eyeless fish,
still living. The sink is one of great depth,
and considerable difficulty will be experienced
in filing it.

The PEoFLE ARE SoUND.-Last year, the
Copperheads of Iowa thought it would be
extra smart to run an officer in the Union army
for Governor; SO, to oppose Colonel Stone, the
Union candidate, they put up General Tuttle !;
but the people took him down by about 25, 900
majority for Stone, who polled the entire army
vote. The people are not half so greeu as
cunning politicians are apt to imagine.

GENERAL. ScoTTs MorHER-ln the opening
paragraph of his autobiography, General Scott
pays the following beautiful tribute to bis
mother:
According to the family Bible, was born
June l3, l76G, on the farm which inherited
seme fourteen miles from Petersburg, Virginia
My parents, William Scott and Ann Mason
both natives of the same neighborhood, inter
married in $50. Ia my sixth year lost my
father, gallant lieutenant, captain iu the
Revolutionary army, and successful farmer.
Happily, my dear mother was spared to ne
eleven years longer, and it. in my now protractcd
career, have achieved anything worthy Of
being written, anything that my countrymen
are likely to honor in The next century, 1t is
from the lessons of that admirable parent that
| derived the inspiration.

GuTHEiy AND PENDLEroN.-J ameS Guthrie
was eleven votes ahead Of George II. Pendleton
on tie first ballot at Chicago for Vice Presi
dent and would undoubtedly have been nonli-
nated on the next by great majority. But
he had once professed to be in favor Of the war
for the Union, and that killed him. pcndeton
who never lifted finger against the rebels
was unanimously nominated on the next ballot.
We think Nallandlgham should have been
satisfied With the platform. but he must have
the Vice President also.

BRITIsH IGNORANCE or AmEEI,

BRITISH IGNORANCE OF AMERICA.
Since the beginning Of our civil war we
have had but little sympathy from France and
England. This might be considered strange,
were it not apparent TO the dullost compre-
hension that it is the interest of both the
powers named to have the United States
broken up This great Western Republic has
long been a thorn in the side Of the leading
monarchies ofEurope. II has been regarded
by the principal European States with jeal-
ousy that has grown in intensity from year to
year.
There has been, and is now on the other side
of the Atlantic a political policy quite different
from the ideas of national prosperity aud
security entertained in this hemisphere. The
European States, in their relations and inter-
course, talk about what is known as the
"balance ofpOwer" That means no more than
that one State in the European system shall
not acquire an influence and power, so prepon-
derant, as to be preiudicill 10 the peace and
safety of the whole community of States. This
Government Of ours has not hitherto been
taken into the account in settling the equi-
poise Of power among the nations Of the conti-
nent Of Europe, or in restoring harmony when
evor their relations OF amity have been dis
turbed.
But our transatlantic neighbjrs begin to
foresee the near approach Of a time when we
shall have a word to say in their affairs, and
may exert a controlling influence in the deci-
sion OF all great international questions. This
prospect is, OF course, not very agreeable
one to contemplate; and nothing would more
delight British and French statesmen than
some accident which would effectually pre-
vent its realization altogether, OF defeat it for

my Authority, or JEFF. DAVIS.

by Authority or JEFF. DAVIS.
The "storn statesman who presides over the
"sC-callCd Confederate States" is not pleased
with the arrest of BENNETT G.. BuRLEY in
Canada, under the Extraditon Treaty exist
ing between the United States and Great
Britain. This BURLEY fellow is the man who
tempted to seize the United States steamer
Michigan on the northern lakes in September
last, for the purpose OF releasing the Rebel
prisoners on Johnsons Island. Being thwarted
in his object, he, together with his cut throat
associates, sought refuge on British soil A
demand was made by the United States Gov
eminent for his arrest and delivery to our
authorities, and Burnley was arrested by
orders from the Canadian Government
JEFF. DAVIS has heard OF the proceeding,
and comes out with a pronunciamento OF
"Whereases" and "Now thereforss" aclnow-
Lodging that said BURLEY was duly en-
powered by himself to capture the Michigan
and release the prisoners on Johnson's Island.
lie says it was "a proper, legitimate belliger-
ent operation" and having satisfied his mind
on this point, he has determined to notify
Canada the United States, and mankind in
general, that the Confederate States of Ame-
rica assume the responsibility of answering
FOR the conduct and acts of any of their
officers engaged in the expedition"
Now this is an assumption" with a ven
| gcance. A. England and the United States
! have never acknowledged these same " Con-
! iederate States Of America" as a lawful mem
! Der Of the family OF nations, how are they to
recognize the responsibility Of an irrespon-
sible person like DAVIS, or an irresponsible
| body of States like that of the Confederacy ?
Nations, as well as individual men, always
prefer to deal with responsible parties; and
JEFFEBsON DAVIS will find that neither the
| United States nor Great Britain will pay any
more attention to his batch Of "whereases," ;"
other than to glance over il and smile at his
assumption Of responsibility"
Ii he hopes to cause apprehension in the
minds OF Uncle Sam" and "John Bull" that
he will do something terrible, provided they
! harm this man BURLEY, he will again dis
cover that he is mistaken. DAVIS is in an
| awkward position just at this moment to effect
! anything either worth his prOclamatons or
/ his sword; and he only makes the greater fool
| OF himself and the Coniederacy by assuming
| to do what everybody knows he cannot do.
When bis beleaguered little empire establishes
its right to place among the powers Of the
earth, he VIII be better entitled to issue his inn
! perial ukases to the world. Until then we
advise Mr.. DAVIS, OF JEFF. DAVIS, or II,
JETFEEsoN DAVIS" to save his breath bot
tie up his indignation, and save his pens, ink,
and paper for Fast Proclamations.

The expedition was not withoutits incidents
worth preserving as campfire traditions. and
tnged with the stirring romance Of war.
The incidents referred TO in the report are
merely mentioned, but they are very sug-
gestive. The Admiral rcmarks:-

The report of Admiral PORTER gives clear
idea Of the gigantic woik 20 be performed in
the capture Of Wilmington. No more brilliant
engagement has taken place during the entire
war; and the Instances OF valor which the
Admiral euumeratos are only fresh specimens
of the spirit which animates all our soldiers
everywhere, on land aud sea.

In fact, the perverted views OF most Of the
British politicians with respect to the civil war
going on here, arc not entirely attributable to
jealousy Of the growing power of this Repub-
lie, but to a degree of ignorance touching the
merits Of tho contest and its possible issues
thst is positively amazing. There are, how

but they frequently improve occasions to re-
buke the shameful want Of sense and know
ledge on the part of those ministers and mem
bers of Parliament who presume to utter,
dogmatically, opinions prejudicial to our own
Government, when they really may be said not
10 know what they are saying.
II was Mr.. Golden who, in a recent speech
TO bis constituents, sharply ridiculed the igno-
rance Of the best educated classe, of his coun-
trymen regarding American affairs. lie said
that he could take a map Of the United States,
lay it before any graduate Of the English uni
yersities, and ask him to put his finger on Chi
cagO, and that the chances were he would not
come within a thousand miles ofthe place. The
inference was that people who are so totally
uniformed about geography can hardly DO
better posted as to our political conditions and
interests and that, therefore, they should, for
their own sakes at least abstain from Flip
PANTY passing judgment respecting events
now transpiring in this country, and as to the
real Importance and bearing Of which they
knew less than any American schoolboy.
