4 The friends of the Union have
. great and noble work before them
worthy of their highest and broadest
energies The. Union party has
achieved its sliccess becauseits creed
was hased upon the intelligent moral
convictions and the largest and pro-
foundest interests Of the masses of
the people, upon their long-srffering
experience of the wrong committed
against the Union by the treason of
the South, and ubon their sympathy
with freedom and progress. Spite
of the infamous canse which pro-
dnced the war, the Opposition have
not advanced one step beyond the
cslamitous policy OF BucHANAN and
the delhsioH which nd tAsm to sup
port a covert traitor for the Presi-
dency. Their defeat will be the
victory of the national cause; for, in
such defeat, the South will be depri
we'd of that indulgence in the North
which first gave its treason success,
and which would encourage it again
to deceive.
In 1860 Mr.. LINCOLN, the candi-
date of the laboring, native, intelli
gent masses of the country, was ele-
waited into power with a popular en-
thusiasm sucn as our Presidential e.
lections have seldom or never known.
This simple and honest citizen ofthe
West, the competitor and the friend
of Douglas, became the representa-
tive man of the people, the type of
their aspirations, and the pledge of
their, faith. They had long wanted |
an honest aud a brave ruler, and they
found him. Years of unparaIeled
trial have tested Mr. LINcoLN's hon
esty and ability, and Convention of
his fellow citizens still more notable
for its high character than the body
which first presented him to the peo-
pie, have nominated him for -elec-
ton. This fact will stand nobly
against all opposition. ABRAHAM
LINCOLN is the undoubted choice of
the loyal and earnest masses of the
people. Though they have been

which has absorbed all other interests

~The National Guards have
been allowed to take their arms home
with them, at which Copperheads
writhe and wriggle as though they
were already under their fire. 1t is
undoubtedly a wise precaution on
part of the Government, In loeall-
ties where the draft was to be opposed
by force of arms, the individuals
urging it, may be saved from commit
ting great outrages. The arms ar e
given the Guards TO enforce the laws.
Those only who violate or oppose
the execution ofthese laws, need fear.
If none but Copperheads make up
that class. they have themselves to

DEMOCRATIC SUCCESS DE
SIRED BY THE BEBELS.

Mf. j Juuan L. benjamin, Cne reDel
Secretary of State makes official an.
rouncemeDt tha1 .''the separation OF
the States is an accomplished fact. =
and that Mr. Davis 'has no authority
to receive proposals for negotiations
except by virtue of his office as
President Of an independent Confed
eracy, and on this basis alone must
proposals be made to him." Com
pare this uncompromising declara
tion with the meaning and spirit of
the Chicago platform, its proposition
to ''restore peace on the basis of the
Federal Union, and the stipulation
Eoran immediate arnistice to treat
with the 'sindependent Confederacy"
OF Mr.. Benjamin. Who will, dispute
that this platform boldly risks dis
honor for the sake of an uncertain
gain? 's-r' ,-'' =, ,
1t has long been the argument of
the Opposition that the power at
once ,tosend, the war and maintain the
Union was in the hands of the Ad-
ministration. 1t has been repeated
lSasserted Il at the rebels are willing
to negotiate with the Government,
and are only prevented, by the stub
born refusal of the Administration to
agree TO an armistice or conven-
tom, The gentlemen at Chicago
made this charge directly, and
assume that their party, were it in
power, could easily meet the South
on. common grouud, and restore the
Union without further trouble or
bloodshed. These pretenses need
no other exposure than Mr. Benja-
min has made, and the opponents of
the Administration may say what
they will, the great facts remain that
the rebel leaders will receive no
offers Of. peace that.do not acknowl-
edge the Southern States 10 be an in
dependent nation. When the mana
gers of the present Democratic par
ty talk of peace as if it were some
thing they had only to ask for to OBJ,
tain, do they mean such a peace as
this? They must mean it; for, if
there is any sincerity in the declara-
ton of Jefferson DAVIS and his
Secretary of State, an honorable
peace is only possible when their
military power is destroyed.
1t must be remembered too, that
the rebel papers which have SO anx-
iously desired the success of the
Democratic party in the fall cleo
tions have invariably assigned as
their reason that the independence
of the Confederacy would be the GER
tain result They have never said
that under Democratic Administra-
tion the rebel leaders would be will
ing to submit to the Government -
General Mcclellan may have the
benefit of this startling fact, that
every rebel newspaper, and many
rebel leaders. have openly insisted
that Democratic triumph and disun
ion were inseparable. His party
may profess what love it pleases for
the Union, but cannot conceal that
the Disunionists, North and South,
are of all men the most anxious fol
its success.

HIt is amusing to see the .cras
fishing among the Copperhead lead
ers on the nomination of Mcclellan
! Judging by the fulsome aduIations
Inow poured forth upon him one would
suppose that they had never found
fault or slandered him in any wise
Sam Medaryef the Crisis befors
the Convention met, speaks of .Litu1-
max in the following style:
We know well what we say, and
therefore it should not be hid under
a bushel. If Mcclellan is nominated
no trumped up peace platform will
satisfy the people. They have too
often been fooled and humbugged
ly platforms looking one way and
candidates another, to trust any such
a maneuvre this time.
The idea of peace men being for
Mcclellan is too ridiculous to talk
about. 1t is q trick and deception,
intended as such, and nothing else.
Had Mr.. Lincoln given Mcclellan
more men on the Chickahominy, Nc
Clellan to- day would have been one
of Lincoln's most subservient instru-
ment This is true by his own re-
port, and if that is false, then Nc
Clellan, is unworthy of any party's
support.
Aleck Long, the great apostle of
peace, whose rising star was sudden
ly squelched by the sudden turning
up of Vallandigham, even in the
Convention, thus soundly rated the
grave digger of the. Chickahominy:
Mr.. Long of Ohio, took the stand
in opposition to Mcclellan. He said
that Lincoln had been guilty of iE-
terfering with freedom of speech,
the freedom of elections, and of ar
bltrary arrests; and in your resolu-
tions you have arraigned him before
the people of the country for tyran-
Gus usurpations, and yet you pro
pose to nominate a man for the sup
port of the Democracy who has gone
even further than Lincoln has gone
in the perpetration of similar tyran-
nical measures upon the sacred priv
ilegeS and right of the people
Mcclellan is guilty of the arrest of

! Capt. Hunter W Scotchman by
birth. Before emigrating to thi:
country he resided in England, and
during the Russian war was in the
English Commissary service in the
field. He came to this country in
1889, where portion of his family
had preceded him, and located al
tCfncinnati. While on a visit to his
brothers in this city in 1861, he vol.
unteered, under Capt. Matthew

That company not being required,
and Government having called for
three years men, Lieutenant Hunter
Joined the company called Cleveland

Regiment, and of this company he
was elected and commissioned 1st
Lieutenant Lieutenant II. for a
time was on the staff of Colonel, now
General-Scammon In the Spring
of 1862 he was promoted to the Cap
taincy of Company K, and was, in
September of that year, wounded in
the battle of South Mountain.
In the Summer of 1862, Captain
H. was post commandant at Gallipo-
Ii, and where, seconded by the Union
citizens and militia of that county,
he was enabled to save nearly two
millions of Government property
from Morgan and his band. and ma
terially aided in turning Morgan to
the point where he was captured. In
recognition of his services. the citi-
zens of Gallipolis presented Captain
Hunter with an elegant sword, of
which we some months since made
mention.
Captain H. was with his regiment
in the Kanawha Valley, last winter
and spring, and in April, the 23d
regiment formed part of General
Crooks expedition for the purpose
of cntting the Virginia and Ten1es-
see Railroad. On the 9th of MAY
the enemy was attacked in a forti-
fie,i position, at Clovd's Mountain,
about five miles from Dublin Station,
and after a short but desperate
struggle, the rebels were driven, but
Captain Hunter fell, and was bnried
on the field.
That he fell bravely in the dis
charge of his dnCy, and suffered but
a short time is the verdict of all -
