solved that, in the event of their success,
the soldiers should receive their sympa-

In Washington, ID. c., is published
the Constitutional Union. 1t is the organ
of Geo. B. Mcclellan. It's editor is no
less a parsonage than Thomas g. Flor
ence, Chairman of the Democratic EX-
ecutive Committee ut Washington. One
Charles Mason, of Iowa, also has a
finger in the pie. On the Goth of Sep
tember, when the whole country was
ablaze with enthusiasm over Sheridan s
great victory, this Thomas B. Florence
& Co. refused to recognize any pent up
Utica that would contine the sympathy
of the Mcclellan Democrats for our
soldiers. That sympathy had been bot
tied for nearly four years, and the
Mcclellan men had determined to out
cork and free it. Here it is, as it came
from the office of the Constitutional
| Union, Mcclellan organ at Washington:
BRUTALITY AT ATLANTA.
What means this piteOuS wall from Atlanta :?
Have the hounds "brOle cover there among
the unfortunate women and children: Has
another "Butler' appeared in that theatre
der the name OF ''Sherman,' to contend for the
palm of brutality: 1t must be so, or else why
does our heroic enemy, Hood, "rroteSt in the
name of God and humanity, against the unnre-
cedented measure yOn propose which trains
cends III studied ana ingenious cruelty all acts
ever before Witnessed in the dark history of
war?' "Hie on, good dogs p bark away =
"Hi-e-e-er' "Tally-hor fIa ha! ha!
OH! but ii is glorious sport; and the game
why, It's prize for the Gods Of War-and when
IA h.. tltril nj
run" at Atlanta will be our theme at many a
drinking boz bout should after ages discuss rs lhe
can but say, I'VE followed like good hounds and
earthed our ganE.'
Pray God that the history of this horrible war
may never be written: The world will shudder
at ii, and whenever the word "Intamy'' is SpO-
ken, it will surely be coupled with the names of
Butler and Sherman.
SHERMAN bears the palm for brutal
ity. His men are dogs and hounds. y
This is the sympathy which the Demo-
cratic party at Chicago so unanimously
voted our soldiers. What do you think
Of it? Free speech is suppressed, is it?
:: Hot MuftOu.Pie e.' Democracy.
George Sennott, of Boston, illustrated
speech at RoXbury, Mass, q day or
two ago, by little parable:
One freezing February morning a ne
gro hawked mutton pies in a basket
round Faneuil Hall Square, roaring out
" Hot mutton pies. Hot mutton pies!"
A teamster bought and tried to bite one,
but found it frozen rs solid as the curb
stone. 'What do you call them hot
for you black and blue swindler," yell
ed the teamster to the shivering pieman.
" Wy-wy-a white man guv 'em to me
hot dis mornin'!" Gwen, you fool, it
didn't take ten minutes to freeze them
in that old basket. Why call them hot
now ?" "Why, God bless you, 1ot's de
name OBJ 'em-de name oh 'em! If
didn't holler de right name nobody
wouldn't tech 'em! You want ME to
holler troze pies, 1 SUPPOSE? No, sa II
You can't fool me dat Way!h
Thus it is with the Democratic party.
They received from jefferson and Jack
son, as free gift, their principles
Those gifts they meanly put up for sale
and hawk round in the deadly market
of slavery to freeze up in their shabby
old party basket. They roar out Dem

when you pay the price of your vote for
them, you find slavery beknumbing
your fingers, paralyzing your tongue,

Ask the sWindlers why they
call such stuff Democracy, and they tell |
you blandly that Mr.. Jefferson gave
them the original article=that it is just
as good as new, only not quite as warm,

quarrel with the pieman, for what he
calls it is its name. If you want it more |
you may take il home to
your own State ana t1tt,na it; but in the
mean time do not interrupt the sales.
