exceeding the latter estimate.

A Lie-with a Clinsher put on it.


To the Editor Of the Press.
The numerous falsiacations Of historical
facts uttered BY MIR. Norlhend, at the Cop
perhead meeting on Wednesday evening, do
not intend to enumerate. Your paper would
require enlargement for that. But there was
one, brought out By him, which met with so
square hit in the face, that it should be wide
ly known, for the benefit of all such unscru-
pulous speakers hereafter.
This vilifler of our brave soldiers and their
heroic exploits, in his two hours TRADE as
serted that, in no case where the rebels had
met our troops in battle, ,cith equal numbers,
bad our army ever won a victory! This was
so traitorous and false that it could MOI be en-
dured in silence; and soldier present ex-
claimed, "that's d--nd lie!' and others ex-
claimed "that's so. and "we'll not stay here
to hear such slanders.'
Contemplate in the supremest degree, must
that party be, land the tool also,) who will
bring slanderer over the rail road, ostensi-
bly, to enlighten the citizens Of Portland, and
who really thus insult their intelligence and
patriotism, and Willy as heroic service of our
brave soldiers as the world ever saw. The
reproof was well merited and came from the
right quarter-even from the mouth of the
men who were being traduced. Thank Hea-
ven, Monday next will show this calumniator
Of deeds his soul was never large enough to
campass, that he came ninety miles for
naught except to help, against his wishes, the
great cause which will not stop until the hon.
or and dignity and power of the country are
gloriously indicated. CRY HALL.

The Peaceful O Democracy.

Quite discovery was made in Portsmouth
few days since. The Chronicle saws that
community was thrown into an excitement "by
"the discovery OF a large number of rifles con-
"cealed in different parts of the city, evidently
"for the repetition of scenes-of greater mag
"nitude-but similar to those which occurred
sin our midst at the time of the last draft, in
switch two or three men were shot and others
severely wounded"
1t seems that an examination and search
was being made for the discovery of copper
stolen from the Navy Yard, by officers of the
| law, and it was while this business was going
on, that the rifles were discovered; sixteen
of them being found concealed, carefully done
up, and each directed to the party who appar-
emily was to use it.
A. NJ. Russell, of that city, was arrested for
! purchasing stolen copper, aud while the Mar
shall was searching his premises under q
search warrant, they found two musket boxes
partially empty and marked George B. French
OF this Provost Marshal Hall was at once in
formed, and he despatched Officer Kent te
Frenchs place of business. Search being
made two empty musket boxes and four mus
kets were found.
The discovery of these concealed weapon S
says the Chronicle, will perhaps open the eye
of some to the real intentions of our pretend
ed peacc-loving friends. None are SO blind
however, as those who won't see. 1t is stated
that 1900 or 10000 of the Enaeid's have beer
distributed about New Hampshire, for tn
use of these precious peace makers.

Mr.. Sweat and the Soldiers Paw.


In the Press of yesterday, Mr.. Sweat was
represented as voting against resolution to
increase the pay of the soldiers SO as to cor
respond with their increased EXPENSE. Mr..
Sweat has called our attention TO the record OF
that matter in the Congressional Globe, and
as we have not the slightest disposition in the
world to misrepresent him, or to paint the
Devil blacker than he is" we cheerfully make
the needful correction so as to put him right
'@in this matter.
The question on which Mr.. Sweat voted
NO. in connection with that resolution, was
on referring it to the Military Committee; the
Union men voting for such reference, and the
Democrats voting against it, as Mr.. Sweat
says, because they wanted immediate action
The final vote of the House, when the Milit-
airy committee reported, was perfectly unani-
nous.
Having made this correction, there is one
fact to which justice demands we should refer.
We find that in all action upon the resolution
in question, Mr.. Sweat voted with Pendleton.
Jas. Brooks, Ben. and Fernando Wood. and
all that class OF men who necessarily denounce
the war, and omit no means by which to Grip
pie 1t and those carrying it on. Mr.. Sweat
and his friends must not expect he can mix
with such company and retain credit for great
devotion to the interests of the soldier The
true friend of the soldier should never be
found in close communion with the soldiers
worst enemies. Mr.. Sweat asserts his friend
ship for the soldier, but if he is all right, like
little Billy" in the anecdote, he is in infa-
m0usly scaly company.

The War Power of the President

al lay this down as the law of nations. /
say that military authority takes, for the time,
the place of all municipal institutions, and
SLAVERY AMONG THE REST; and that,
under the state of things, so far from its being
true that The States where slavery exists have
the exclusive management of the subject, not
only the PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED
STATES, but the COMMANDER OF THE AR
MY, HAS POWER TO ORDER THE UNI
vERSAL EMANCIPATION OF THE
SLAVES. :. From the instant that the
siaveholding States become the theatre of
war, CIVIL, servile, or foreign, from that in
slant the war powers of CONGRESS extend to
interference with the institution of slavery,
IN EVERY WAY IN WHICH 1T CAN BE IN
TERFERED WITH, from a claim Of indemnity
for slaves taken or destroyed, to the cession of
States, burdened with slavery, to foreign
power. 1t is a war power. say 1t is a
war power; and when your countryis actual
ly in war, whether it be war of invasion or
war of instruction, Congress has power to
carry on the war, and MUST CARRY IT ON,
ACCORDING TO THE LAWS OF WAR; and by
the laws of war, an invaded country has all
its laws and municipal institutions swept by
the board, and MARTIAL POWER TAKES THE
PLACE OF THEM. When two hostile armies
are set in martial array, the commanders OF
both armies have power to emancipate all the
slaves in the invaded territory."-lJ. Q. AD-

" Gap in Hand

Two months after the firing on Fort Sumter
the Richmond Wing said OF the Northern
people:
"We must bring these enfranchisei slaves
back to their true condition. They have long
very properly looked upon themselves as our
social inieriors-as our serfs; their mean, mig
gardly lives, their low, vulgar aud sordid &C.
equations, have ground this conviction into
them"
But the Editor of this journal, feeling In
better spirits then than he does now, and not
having let off all his bile, wrote that the sup
rising of the North had all the character of a
ferocius servile Instruction. and he conclud-
ed his internal article in the following words
"This war will enable US 10 restore them to
their moral rassalage, aud teach them that
CAP IN HAND is the proper attitude of the
servant before his master"
The Copperheads have now assumed the
attitude this Richmond editor has assigned
them, and "cap in hand,' now stand before
their masters ready TO do their bidding
What say the war democrats aud the working
men of the free states TO such remarks Of the
Southern traitors? Are they ready thus TO
hold their caps and assume the attitude as
signed them? Thus stood Mr.. Sweat when
he voted for Mr.. Cox, and thus will stand Nc
Clellan when he accepts the Chicago nomina-
ton and mounts the peace platform. Yes,
soap In hand" is the attitude of the copper
heads of this country.
The Portland daily press., 1864-09-09
The Voice of the Soldiers.

Yesterday morning certain Copperheads
were busy among the soldiers near the Old
City Hall, trying to prejudice them against
the Government, telling of their hard usage,
and how like cattle they were treated. The
fellows deserved comfortable lodgment In
Libby Prison, on bread and water, for about
six months. Such prescription might do
them good,
Encouraged by the fact that the soldiers
did not lay violent hands on them, and that
the lame ones did not break their crutches
over their miserable heads, they went up
stairs, and from an open window in the Dem
ocratic Headquarters, ran out a Mcclellan
flag.
Surprising, probably, that 1t was Union
Campaign flag, one of the "braves" called for
three cheers for Lincoln, and they were given
with will; then looking up, and seeing what
was on the flag, he was evidently not satisfied
with its reception, for he called for three
groans for Mcclellan, and the soldier boys
gave them with will. They then suggested
to the Copperheads, in order to be consistent.
that they should substitute the Stars and
Bars for the Stars and Stripes.
Will the Argus please copy?

To tAs Editor Of the Press;

~ WS EuHoF " tHc fFeSS
There are some honest and wel-meanina
men not well posted in political matters. who
are doubtful which party they should 90 with.
In reading the political papers they think they
find so much contradiction that they cannot
arrive at the truth. 1 wish 10 ask them il
they cannot find some sign to look at. which
speaks louder than words. / want to ask
sober moral and religious Democrats n few
questions, and l want them candidly to con-
slider these questions. How does il happen
that most of the ignorant, corrupt and dissi-
pated portions of society belong to the Demo-
cratic party? Why is it that ninety-n nine hun
dredths of all the rumsellers are Democrats p
Why is it that nine-tenths OF all the drink
ards, criminals and rowdies, such as are
brought before the Municipal Court, are DEM
ocrats? These are facts, as | know, and as
every one may see who will open his eyes.
Why is it, if the Republican party is SO dis
honest, unjust and corrupt, as the Democrats
endeayor TO make 1t appear, that nine-tenths
of the clergy, three-iourths at least. of the
church-going people and two-thirds of ali the
intelligent and business class OF men in every
community are Republicans? II any one has
any doubts about the facts in these cases. he
has only to open his eyes and look about him
self TO see that we have not overstated the
facts. | have inquired in relation to one
church in this city, and find that every mem
Der, both of the church and society. is a Re-
publican. These facts and queries | present

No better Democrat was found 10 that day
than Howell Cobb. He had hosts OF friends
In this State. he went into the Treasury I'M
der Buchanan. He remembered those irlends.
He made them tide walters, and inspectors OF
customs, and all sorts of officials in the rev.
enue service. They swore By and for him.
They were of one heart Nth him, and most
of them REMAIN so TODAY!
The point we make is this: Messrs. How
ard and Sweat, and the candidates OF the
Democratic party generally, give the same
kind of eyidence-no other-of devotion to
the country, to the Union and the Constitu.
ton, that Howell Cobb gave in 1856. They
say but do not. They talk but do not act
They know the way but walk not in it. They
point it out but discourage, and hold back
and embarrass all who attempt to enter it
Such proof will not answer. 1t is the kline
that traitors have furnished before them.
higher, more substantial, more earnes
type is demanded. Not every one who saiu

that doeth something. Acts must corrobor

fail, and serve only to remind loyal men o

The Tables effectuallY Turned.

For few weeks past the democratic papers
have had lovely time of it in backing up their
pretended regard for the Union and the Gov
eminent, and the integrity Of the former and
the horror of the latter, by abusing and mis-
representing every act of the administration,
in all the modes that internal ingenuity could
suggest throwing embarrassments in the way
of those entrusted with the responsible duty
of upholding the national authority against
the assaults OF rebels and traitors.
Mr.. Lincoln has come in for all the contume-
ly, reproach, SANDER and malignant falsehoods
that hearts stepped in venom and filed with
treason could possibly suggest.
Now the tables are turned, and they have
got to take the defensive; mode OF warfare
for which their candidate has shown more ap-
titude than for offensive operations. They
have been for months, says the Providence
Journal, denouncing the arbitrary arrests y

their candidate arrested arbitrarily, and with
out other process than his own military order
the members ofthe Legislature of sovereign
State" They have complained of the pro-
longation Of the war. They will have an op.
portunity to explain how the long delay o.
Mcclellan enabled feeble enemy to recrui,
and discipline his forces, which one we'll di.
rected blow might have overthrow, how with
10000 men and dozen Quaker guns, at Ma
nassas, the rebels kept Mcclellan with 245 ,00t
men at bay. Had Grant or Sherman thel
been in command, the war would have beer
ended in one campaign. But Mcclellan, beside
his natural hesitating temper, was filed witt
the idea of the Presidency, and had been ad
vised by Vallaadigham, and men of that
stamp, that If he conducted the war ION con
sentative principles" that IS, conducted it sc
as not to hurt anybody, he would receive the
democratic nomination, on the demand of the
grateful South. So he waited; and now the
promise of the weird sisters has been kept to
the ear. The people shall decide if 1t is to be
broken to the hope.

Mexico.

The Bandera Ndcional of Matamoras has
the following news which has not been re-
ceived from any other source:
"A signal defeat of the French and their
Algerine allies is said to have taken place at
the hacienda of Brea, in the state OF Guer-
rero. The Mexican forces, under Genera
Diego Alvarez, son of the old lion, had de-
feated the imperial forces in four pitched bat
ties, killing many in the fights and taking a
large number of prisoners. These were at
once pnt to death, the invitation to war
without quarter being accepted. The French
forces came from Acapulco, which Is in French
possession"
There are accounts also OF other victories
gained over the French in other sections Of
Mexico The new emperor is not yet fairly
seated on his throne, and his French master
may be compelled to send over more troops
to insure the crown an easy position on the
head of Macmillan.

Secretary Seward and the Rebellion

Mr.. Seward made a speech at a Union
Meeting in Auburn, N. Y, few days since,
in which he said
"The chief complaint against the President
Is that he will not accept peace on the basis of
the integrity Of the Union, without having
also the abandonment of slavery. When and
where have the insurgents offered him peace
on the basis of the integrity of the Union ?
Nobody has offered it. The rebels never will
offer it. Nobody on their behalf can offer if.
They are determined and pledged to rule this
Republic or ruin 1t. told you here a year
ago that practically slavery was no longer In
question-thst 1t was perishing under the op-
Grafton of the war. That assertion has been
confirmed.
