CONVENTION OF GOVERNMENT PACPERs
The Baltimore Convention which nom
mated Lincoln for the Presidency, may
justly be styled the convention of Gov
ernment paupers and sharks. 1t was
composed Of many persons under the di'
rect influence Of Government patronage,
and controlled by of1ce-holders and con-
tractors, who hocked to Baltimore in
droves from oil sections of the country
Delegates opposed to Lincoln's nomina
ton were promised Office or contracts il
they would vote for him, ard by this
means he was nominated without opposi
tion, says a correspondent of the Ohio
State Journal. There were present as
delegates 1856 offlce-holders 100 rela
tives and friends Of Office. holders; 80 con-
tractors and friends Of contractors; IA
Congressman; 20 editors Of party jour
nails ; and 10 negroes; the latter, howev'
er, were not admitted. A convention
thus composed and controlled, of course,
nominated for the highest Office in the
gift Of the people the friend and patron o.
shoddy contractors, and cordially indorsed
an Administration which is dripping with
corruption.
The mountain Democrat., 1864-08-06

CoMPLIMENTARY.-The Hartford Pres.
calls Thurlow Weed, the master spirit or
the Republican party in New York, "a
bilious intriguer." Mr.. Weed says ''tbera
is now more Of true, reliable, intelligent
loyalty to the Government, and affection
for the Union, in those ragged and suffer.
ing States, than Mr.. Lincoln has found in
the blind, fierce, fanatic Abolition repr..
sentAtives, journals and lecturers, who's.
malign influence has shaped the course Of
the Administration, and now becomes n,
uccuser and enemy" Weed, Greely and
+ - -. - sEs making rich family disclO.
sures, which prove their party to be con.
trOlled by set Of precious scamps, with.
out principle or honesty.
The mountain Democrat., 1864-08-06

STEALING.-John P. Hale said, some
time ago, that the stealing under the Lin.
coin Administration were more than the
entire Legitimate expenses of the Govern.
ment Shoddy remembered the saying,
anu when Hale's time expired elected a
more subservient tool to 6ll his place.
Hale cOuSdNa Do ponished for disloyalty,
but hO was defeated for the objectionable
crimo Of being honest.
The mountain Democrat., 1864-08-06

Signs OF THE TIMEs.-The New York
Evening Post, one Of the most able and
influential of the Abolition organs, admits
that there are many popular discontents
with the Administration, specifying its
arbitrary arrests, its suppression of Dem
ocratic journals, its encouragement OF
mob violence, its abandonment of the
Monroe Doctrine, etc. Wendell Phillips
declares Lincon's Administration to be q
civil and military failure. He says il
Lincoln is reelected, no man Of middle
age will live to see reconstruction Of the
Union. He predicts that the money
question will swamp the country in two
years. lie regards the policy Of the Ad.
ministration as ruinous to the North in
every point Of view. The New York H.
dependent says the Baltimore Conven-
ton was an assemblage Of holders,
and that the wishes of the people were
disregarded in the nomination OF Lincoln.
These are significant signs and prove that
tho leaders Of the Abolition party antici-
pate the defeat of their candidate, whose
Administration they are forced to confess
has been humiliating failure.

MALICIOUS LIE.-We take tho followin

MALICIOUS LIE.-We take tho following
from she- Sacramento Enior- Of yester'
day
At Folsom q volunteer guard of nearly one
hundred mounted men, from Placerville. were
in waiting, and escorted the officers and pris
oners the remainder Of the journey home
The attendance Of this guard was deemed ne.
ceSsary on account Of rumors having got afoat
that an attempt would be made to rescue the
prisoners.
The Union has either been sold, or it
has deliberately, maliciOusly lied. The
extract is false in every particular. We
have the authority Of Under Sheriff Hume
for stating that no "guard" whatever, ex.
cept himself and Van Eaton, escorted
the prisoners" to Placerville, nor was
any needed. Six Of the prisoners, in
charge Of Under Sheriff Hume, occupied
one stage, and the other four, in charge Of
Deputy Sheriff Van Eaton, another stage.
No "attempt was made to rescue the
pripDers," nor did they hear Of any "ru-
mors" of the kind or anticipated rescue.
The mountain Democrat., 1864-08-06

REBEL STRATEGY.-ThC rebels are great
on strategy, as the following, which we
extract from the New Orleans CORES
pondence of the Rochester Union, clearly
demonstrates
"It is rumored in town that United
States steam transport st. Mary, from
Brownsville to New Orleans, was captured
a few days ago by some persons who, up
on taking passage, represented themselves
as Texas refugees from the prosecutions
Of rebel barbarians. When the vessel
got to sea it was discovered that they
were rebel soldiers in disguise. They
captured the vessel and ran her into Gal
weston. No particulars received.
The rebel strategy in capturing this
vessel is equAled by their enlisting as
Union soldiers at Colcasien river and
capturing two tin'clads, a lieutenant and
twenty-five men, who went down there
on a recruiting service"
The mountain Democrat., 1864-08-06

CRusBING TAxATIoN.-The value of the
real and personal property in the United
States is estimated, by government off.
cials, at seventeen billions. Against the
Northern half of this stands debt of four
billions. Much Of this debt will be held
oy wealthy shoddyites, and is exempt
from taxation. This throws the burden
with crushing weight upon labor and, il
the debt is to be paid, the process will call
for every dollar the lAboring man can
earn, and will ultimately reduce US to the
condition Of England, where the masses
are virtually the slaves Of the moneyed
AristOcracy. LabOring men, what think
yOu Of Abolition legislation, which ex.
e~pts the wealthy from taxation, and
taxes your labor ruincuslyl Are you
willing to keep In power . party which
is pauperiziDg you in order to secure the
support Of IN ignorant, heartless and
worthless aristocracy?
The mountain Democrat., 1864-08-06

JUsT So.-The Springfield Mass Re,
publican, az able aat iisslaa,seHssiita44 A4beli-
tion organ, has just but contemplate
opinion Of the men who run the Govern.
ment. 1t admits that "even in Massa-
chusetts there are many who believe the
country is in the hands of mass of men
composed, as whole, of self.seeking
demagogues, ignorant Doors and shallow
enthusiasts" That's so, and the belief is
spreading; and next November the peo.
pie, will. drive into merited obscurity the
" "domagogues, Doors and enthusiastic"
who are lording it over them with such
insuferable insolence.
The mountain Democrat., 1864-08-06

FALSE REPORTS FROM TIE ARNY.-The
New York Times thinks great mischief
results from the habitual misrepresenta.
tions Of the press and telegraph in regard
to military matters. it adds, victory iss iiss
frequently claimed when we have met
with disastrous defeat, and when the
truth comes out the people are disap-
pointed and disgustsd, We regret to Say
that their expectatiOus,in many instances,
lave been disappointed.
The mountain Democrat., 1864-08-06

SCsPTcIoUs.--An immense amount of
counterfeit postal currency, especially Of
the denomination of fifty cents, also alter.
ed srccnbacks, were in circulation in
Baltimore during the sitting of the shOd.
dy convention which nominated Lincoln
1t is believed it was brought there by del.
cgates to the convention, and was used
in securing the nomination of the beDe.
factor Of shoddy.
The mountain Democrat., 1864-08-06

STRONGLY STATED.-The claims thai
Mr.. Lincoln ought to be reelected, says
the Boston Courier, because, though he
was chosen to preside over the whole I'm.
ion, be has yet only been acknowledged
in the North, carries with it tho inference
that if he fails to put down the rebellion
during second term, he must be re.elec.
ted for third, and so on. At that rate
is it very likely that he would let the
war end while he lives Z?

Or CouRsE.-Jim Lane, the loyal vaga-
bond who was cowhided in Washington
by the woman whom he seduced and de-
sorted, wants the war made permanent
institution" Parson Brownlow, the Sian.
derer Of the old hero Of the Hermitage,
wants to carry on the war tiii we whip
out all creation" Both these bIackguard
loyalists were leading spirits in the shod-
dy Convention which nominated Lincoln
for President; both have made money out
Of the war both are Office holders; both
are speculating on the misery and blood
of the people and both are benefited by
the continuance Of the war. Stop it, and
they would be stripped Of their power
and deprived Of the privilege of robbing
the Government OF course they want
the war to so on.

LASTING ENHIrY.-An exchange says,
"Civil war does not necessarily produce
lasting enmity. 1t has not in other coun.
tries, and it is not necessary that it should
in this. They mistake who say the Union
can never be restored to peace and affec-
ton after such bloody contest" That
is very true. If the Union could be re-
stored, with nothing but the recollection
Of this horrible strife to ALLEVIATE US here.
after, we should hope that both sections
would outlive that, and be friends again,
perhaps better than ever. But the plan
Of settlement proposed by the Abolition
fanatics who dictate the policy Of the Ad-
ministration is altogether impracticable,
in the first place; and, if it were not so,
it leaves . perpetual sting to annoy US
hereafter. Massachusetts, goes to the
South and tells the planters that they
shall fraternize with their negroes as po-
litical equals. They will not do it; they
will not accept peace on such considera.
tons; and there can be no peace until
the Abolitionists will consent not to inter.
fere with the domestic institutions of the
South. The South has not and does not
desire tc interfere with the domestic in
stitutions Of the North and il the North
would observe n similar forbearance we
should soon have peace and with it
friendly relations. The North would not
permit the South to dictate to her; she
would regard dictation as an insult; and
she should not demand from the South
what she would not yield herself.

the price of its own money so that it is
worth only fifty cents on the dollar-with
the promise Of still lower reduction.

CoRRUrr ADMINISTRATIONS Admin
istration must be frighttully corrupt when
its own friends are forced, by public
opinion, to denounce its corruption. The
leaders of the party and their satellites are
all enriching themselves at the expense Of
the people. The country is rapidly going
to ruin, and hopeless bankruptcy, brought
about by the reckless extravaganza and
systematic corruption of those in power,
stares the people in the face. Comment,
ing on the recent revelations Of Weed.
Opdyke and others, at the charges which
the two wings of the Abolition party are
hurting at each other, even the New York
Herald is forced to say
&" But these acts are nothing compared with
the important and decidedly interesting devel-
opments on the rottenness OF the administra-
ton. II the opposite party had made these
statements they would have had but little ef-
feet upon the rank and file of the republican
party. But now that they are brought out by
most blind partisans Of the so-called Honest
Old Abe's administration cannot but believe
them, and if he votes TO continue Mr.. Lincoln
in office he votes knowingly for the extension
Of corrupt administration.

in the United States Senate, on the 9th Of

man Of the Committee Of Military Affairs,
stated that since the 18th of October last
six hundred thousand white men and one
hundred thousand negroes have been add

that time. Seven hundred thousand men
