Jerome Leonard was a sergeant IN the company TO
which he belonged and had earned an enyiable rep

Of the Regimena His comrades always spoke of
him in terms ofhighest commendation, and his snpe

MAKE CLEAN SWEEPS!

. Two States have spoken since the Cop
perhcads at Chicago voted to surrender to
the Rebellion by the delusive dodge Of an
arnliaice! Those two States, in former
times, we're opposed in rolitics-Vermont
was iufexibly Wing, aud Maine strongly
Democratic. Now, they speak in thunder
tones against the sacrifice proposed. Both
Sta,es-eoery County in cnh State-are

is fighting the Rebels! Every Governor
and State Officer-every Congressman
every State Senator-every County officer
elected, thus far, is friendly to Abraham
Lincoln. The contest opens fairly.
Let every County in every loyal State
follow these good examples, aud elevate
to office no man who, in this momeutous
crisis, is not clearly on the right, safe side.
Let us make complete, clean sUeep!

Mcclellan and Slavery.

Having, q few days ago, given Gen.
M'Clsl'an's record on arbitrary arrests
and the draft, We s1ru now to bis record
on tho slavery question. II is maiuly
contained in that celebrated Harrison b
Landing letter, written on the sth day of
July, 1862, Immediately after the CON-
ple,iou Of the disastrous "chango Of base"
movement. The tone Of the whole letter
is impertiuent in the extreme, as in 1t
Gen. Mcclellan assumes to lecture the
President upon his duty iu regard to the
civil as we'll as military aspects OF the
crisis--a crisis which Gen. Mcclellan had
himself largely assisted to produce. But
curses (for the letter continued curses,
albeit they were sugar-coated, } like chick
ems, come home to roost, and the words
which Gen. Mcclellan wrote 10 1862, in
a fs Of anger arising from disappointed
ambition, will serve to weaken him now
in the house of bis friends. We quote
only SO much of the letter IS contains the
Generals opinion Of the mode necessary
to be observed in dealing With the trou-
blesoms slavery question.

The Tories of l776 and the Copper
heads of 1861.

Lorenzo Sabine has issued work upon
the principles aud acts of those who sided
with the British auG Indians in the long,
bloody war for Liberty and Union. The
book is timely in showing that our fathers
suffered far greater wrongs, privations,
dangers, heart burnings, dlscouragements
and sore trials, than we have yet done.
Do our own people now plot in score,
against the government? Thirty thousand
Roy took up arms against Washing
ton, aided by many more in various ways.
New York city was ruled by Tories The
same class, in South Carolina, compelled
Gov. Ben. Lincoln to surrender Charleston
to the enemy, in 1850.
Are there men to be found who sell to
the enemies of their country? Washing
ton, while his army was in rags and star
wing atV alley Forge, writes to Col Stewart,
81 am amazed at the report you make of
the quantity of provisions that goes daily
into Philadelphia (then occupied by the
British army from the county of Bucks" "
Do officers, through personal jealousies
or desire to shirk, now throw up their
commissioner John Adams, in l777,
writes: 81 am worried to death with the
wrapgles between military officers, high
and low. They quarrel like cats and dogs.
They worry one another like mastif1s,
scrambliDg for rank and pay like apes
after nuts"
Are surgeons now dismissed Cor iucom-
potency or speculation "Many of the
surgeons" says Washington, "are very
great rsscals, coun,enancing the men to
sham complaints to exempt them from duty,
and often receiving bribes to certify indispo-
sitions, with view to procure discharges
or furlougbs." They also draw "medicines
and stores in the most profuse and extrav.
sgant manner for private purposes"
Have we "bounty jumpers" So had
our fathers. Men enlisted only to get
their thousand dollars, and then desert.
A thousand men after they had voluntari-
ly enlisted, perjured themselves, in order
to escape the service. Many deserters re-
enlisted under new recruiting officers. 1t
was no uncommon thing for them to desert
by the twenty aud thirty at a time.
Have we now shoddy contractors who
fatten on fraud, and demagogues who fo-
ment strife? Read Washington's picture
of his time. 81 should in one word say
that idleness, dissipation, and extrav-
sgance, seem to have laid fast hold of
most; that speculation, peculatioD, and an
Unsuitable thirst for riches, seem to have
got the better of every order of men, and
that party disputes aud personal quarrels
are the great business of the day."
There is, in fact, no possible discourage.
meut now encountered by American patri-
oss' but existed in greater degree during
tne Revolution, and yet our fathers trium-
Pied over all Of them.
We DO not press this subject on our
readers to excuse any rascality or treaso,
but to show that our fathers had to deal
with the same difficulties which confrop,
rs. And We would warn those men who
nov plot against the government, that
their names, in company with their com.
p'o'ons of the Revolution, will 60 down
