very sensible man. He discerns the
rue state of things as regards the 10y
Atty Of refugees
Certain gentlemen who have come
amongst rs from the Siaxe States, in or
Ter 10 escape from the tyranny and dan
ger Of the JEFF Davis dsspotisu, and
from the malign influence Of slavery
ire known By Union men on this side O.
he river % Union men Of the right kind
Aud how are tbeJ 80 knoWn7 Because
they talk ike Union men, act ike Unisn
men, and conduct themselves as Union
men. There is no possibility of rnistak
ing their position. They are 1neondi
tionaI Union men, and all their words
and acts show them to be so. They
carry the Union eolors-they place
themselves under the Union flag. We
could name several Of these gentlemen,
bus- it is not necessary, for they are
known, by Uuion men.
These Union men, Who are so in spite
Of ths contumelT and persecution and
danger which have surrounded them for
several years, deserve great honor for
their adherence TO principle. And they
are honored-highly honored by UuiOn
men on this side, and they are warmly
welcomed amongst US They will make

Mr. Holbrook draws his picture to the
life, and thsre we see portrayed in vivid
colors the characteristics Of the halfand-
hall, seessh-sympathiziug, bogus Union
refugees, Of whom We have many
amongst %.
They come here for safety under the
hated flag Of Lincoln, actually fleeing
from their friends; yet they have ten
| good words for John Morgan, Adam
Johnson, and even JEFF Davis, to one fol
any Of our Union officers or the Presi
dent Of the United States. They cal
Union men on this side Of the river Alto
liiionisis and Black Republicans, wher
they are the men who are saving th,
Government from traitors, for the bens6
OF the very men who maIign them. They
| (the bogus Union rsfugees) distrust th'
Government currency aud seem anxious
TO get rid of il hy paying immoderats
prices for real estate and rsntG The,
oppose negro enlistmsnss and the draft
and every other means deemed necessa
ry to fill up the Federal armies il
short, willis enjoying protection an'
safety under the Federal Government

they wish i'll to our armies, denounc

State, and fraterniEe and associate an,

ors, who only lack the courage and th
opportunity 10 raise rebellion here q
, the North, in aid OF the Southern Rebel
lion, similar to that which their allie
and political associates have raised a
the South.
. Do these so-called Union refugees de
are to see the same state OF society her
in the North As that from which the

transfer ell that is dear TO them from on

On the contrary, do they wish 10 se
