There are in this city thousands of Southern
refugees well as citizens OF loug standing
who do not affect 10 disguise their intense aud
uDqua flied sympathy with the Shareholders
Re- e ion. Many of them affect 10 regard the
triumph of the Republicans as the real revolt,
and esteem the Southern resistance thereto egit-
mate and proper. One Of the Roman Catholic
journals, for example, habitually speaks Of the
President OF the United States as cold Abe, "
while IL carefully styles the chief of the Rebels
"PreSid6nt Davis" Every one who thus re-
CARDS the Government and the Rebellion
through inverted glesses is Il Jealous supporter
. OF Mcclellan.
For instance, the name of Henry Grnnell has
repeatedly appeared IN the Richmond Journals as
that uf a thorough sympAthizer with ''the South"
in her struggle against Abolition despOtsm. /"
Mr.. Grinnell's name naturally appears on the list
OF Vice Piesidens of the Mcclellan ratification
meeting. Mr.. Richard Lathers wrote a letter,
late IN 1860, intmating that he was ready 10 fight
for bis native Sou n Carolina whenever she should
call him to the field. M. Lathers has since had
Genera Mcclellan as guest at his country resi-
deIce, and his name alsn appears on the list of
Vice Presidents of the Mcclellan ratifying meet

the wrongs perpetuated on her loyal people under
the Schoheld rule, which have driven thousands

we are likely to l,se the State. But by what
vote BY the votes of tens Of thousands who
have personally served In the Rebel armies-who
fought with Sterling Price when General Lyon
was killed at Wilson's creek-who helped be-
siege and capture Go onel Muligan at Lexington
who were chased almost out of Missouri by

three days fight az Pea Ridge-and who, skulk-
ing back TO their old homes along the Missouri,
have been "bushwhaCkipg" aud operating as
guerillas-that is, iobbers, raw ehers, and muir
dcrers-eVer since. One of these villains, who
used to lie in wait by the side of a road along
which furloughed Union soldiers travelled north
wvrd from our armies in Arkansas, boasted that
he had thus killed thirty of them, man by man,
without fiskiDg his own life. The votes of these,
cast in solid phalanx, elected the conservative"

Unionists of every State! we cannot afford
to let the country fall into the hands of these mis-
creaDts! Let us do all that men can do to defeat
them!
