4 MISREPRESENTATION editors of
the Copperhead organ, with their usual au-
dacity, last week asserted that the President
offered in his Amnesty Proclamation, par
9 don only to those 6e9oto the rank of Colo
"nel. Now, the President says no such
thing But he does say, that the persons
excepted from the benefits of the foregoing
provisions, are, among others. ''all who
are or shall have been military or naval Off
GERS Of said so-called Confederate Govern
ment ADORE the rank of Colonel in the army,
or Lieutenant in the navy" Certainly, there
is some difference between the expression
ADORE the rank of Colonel and that of
''belov the rank of Colonel But, the ed
itors of the Copperhead organ are SO habit
uated to perverting and misrepresenting the
language of others, that we are inclined to
believe the above to be about as near the
truth as their conscience ~ will allow them
to approach,

The Contrast.
from The Chicago Times.l


Two military men are now running fol
the highest Office in the gift of the people
The Democracy have presented General
Mcclellan the Abolitionists have put forth
General Lincoln. The former cleaned out
Western Virginia reorganized the mob OF
soldiers; captured Yorktown; saved, by a
change of base in the face of a superior foe,
an army whose existence was in extreme
danger from Mr.. Stanton's interference ;
rescued the national capital from the grasp
of Lee; prevented the North from being
overrun at South Mountain and Antietam !;
and, in short, has, upon every occasion,
proved himself the first military genius of
the age. The latter devised the overland
route and sacrificed three armies and near
ly fourth in attempting to carry it out
he fought the battle of Olustee, and distin-
guished himself greatly by his masterly
campaign up Red river in search of electo-
raj votes and cotton. General Mcclellan
has on several occasions saved Federal ar
mics from annihilation; General Lincoln
has never commanded an army that did not
meet with overwhelming disaster. 1t is be-
tween these two Generals that the people are
called upon to choose during the next six
ty days.

The Georges.
JTOpS ONO STA TES1fAN.

EDITORS ONO STATESMAN:
The Republicans have been foundering
of late in perfect bankruptcy of argument,
and an embarrassing poverty of declamato-
ry topics. The nomination of Mcclellan
has robbed their bow Of its strength and
their arrow of its point. 1t has broken the
blade of their logic, and turned the edge of
their satire. But the brilliant philosopher,
who presides over the royal observatory of
The Journal, has, by an attentive observa-
tion, protracted through several sleepless
nights, succeeded in discovering new and
resplendant argument of the first magni-
tude. He has made the amazing discov-
cry that both the candidates of the DEM
ocratic party bear the Christian appellation
which was borne by George the Third. He
regards the fact las inauspicious for the nom-
inees. He goes on to say that the Georges"
were never favorite rulers with this coun-
try. Now, if this writer will take the trou-
BILE to look into the history of this country,
he will find that our first, most venerated,
and most illustrious ruler was George
Washington. If he will take the trouble to
refer to the Constitution, he will make the
discovery that that great title-deed of our
liberties is subscribed by three Georges
George Washington, President of the Con-
ventiOn, George Clymer, of Pennsylvania,
and George Reed, of Delaware. On the
other hand, if he refers to history, he will
ascertain that among the cruel and tyranni-
cal Sultans, Viziers and Pachas Of despotic
Turkey, Ibrahim (the Turkish name for
Abraham) has always been favorite ap-
pellation. And as to the Republican can
didate for Vice President the case is no
better. Three Of the kings of Hungary
bore the name of Andrew. But the cause
of the Republican hostility to the Christian
name of Washington is apparent. To his
great influence it was mainly due that the
Constitution was adopted by the Conven-
tion and ratified by the respective States
That instrument it is which secures the
liberties of the people and restricts the au-
thority of the rulers. And this is sufficient
to account for the hatred which the Repub-
hcans entertain against the names of Wash
ington and Mcclellan. And it was highly
fit and beautiful that the latter George
should have saved our National Capital
which the former George selected. We
know that the passage alluded to hard
ly deserved an answer; but even the ele-
phant sometimes swings round his trunk tc
brush off fly.
