The Bounty Law.

There is no limit TO Copperhead mean
ness. 1t spares no effort to prevent men
from entering the army, and when it is
found that considerable effort IS required
TO fill our quotas, it abuses and insults
those who are loyal on the charge of not
doing their duty and when they do Ia
boz, it impugns the honesty of their mo
tiyes.
That miserable sheet, dubbed the War
rem Constitution. IS a fair sample OF double
distilled copperhead p~usillanimity. Now
that the bounty law has been passed ior
the benefit of soldiers, their families and
friends, it has the shameless ~effrontery to
misrepresent the law. In the last issue Of
that paper it il asserted that men are to
be taxed to make good the bounties that
we're subscribed TO keep men at homo in
1863 and 1864" Now, it's not true that
bounties were raised for that purpose, nor
were any paid to men who staid at home.
Bounties were raised and subscribed by
liberal men to hold out such pecuniary
reasons as would justify young men in en-.
terine the army in order TO fill our quotas
nth men. instead of paying commute
ton money. And when the editor OF
the Constitution says that bounties were
subscribed to keep men at home. or that
money was applied in that way, he will
fully snd deliberately falsifes. We can
not believe be is SO miserably stupid not
to know better. He has been so much oc.
cupied with the negro lately that he can
see only the dark side of a question. II
he is not careful he will anticipate the
eourae of nature and run blind before
August.
go Lol the poor Copperhead.
Whose fightful scare,
Sees the darkey in every cloud

How Shall DELEGATES to the
Union National Convention be
ChOsenf

The call for the Union State Conven-
ton to be holden at Columbus, May 25th,
has arranged that in case any District
Convention shall not have met prior to
that date, and selected two delegates and
two ~alternates, TO attend the 7th of June
National Convention, then the delegates
from that District. in attendance at the
State Convention, are to select delegates
to the National Convention. The State
Central Committee have in their call very
properly f~rst-requested the people to Sc
iect their delegates. 1t is therefore plain
" the duty of District Committees to give
the people an opportunity to assemble in
Convention for the specific purpose of Sc
iecting men for delegates who will truly
reflect and carry out their sentiments and
wishes on the prominently important
question of a Presidential nomination
So far as we are acquainted with the feel
ings of the Union men in this locality,
they are about unanimous in preferring
the denomination of President Lincoln,
and are equally unanimous in desiring a
Convention Of the people to select dele
gates with direct reference to the Presi-
aency, and wholly disconnected with any
other issue whatever. We hope for the
best interests of the party, that at least
in this District the imprescriptible right
of the people to say who shall be their
delegates, viii not be ignored. The 18th
District will, ifa free expression OF the
peoples sentiments is not smothered,
choose men of unequivocal standing on the
Presidential question, and inasmuch as
there is abundance of time for calling a
Convention, there is not any sufficient
reason why the people should not select
their delegates, instead of leaving it to
the few gentlemen who may attend the
25th-o of May State Convention. To sub
nit the question directly to the people,
80 that they can vote on it in their pri-
mary meetings, and send delegates TO a
District Convention, instructed to vote
for delegates to Baltimore, perfectly
sound on the Presidential question, is the
plan freest from objection, and the one
that places the responsibility with the
people themselves, where it properly be-
longs, and whom we are not afraid to
trust, mo- at all apprshensiFe that they
giT fail to do their duty nobly.
We observe hat u friends of the
Portage Democrat are decidedly in favor OF
a Convention. We think that is greatly
the pre-dominating sentiment in every
county in the District.

INCARCERATION.

The copperhead papers sre spotted all
over with this term-signifying the ming
ling of the races, a practice that has been
very prevalent in Democratic States. In
fact it has been the means of keeping sla-
very in lourishing condition in Virginia
and the border slave States for the last
twenty-five years. 1t has been the favor
lite institution of the Niger Democracy"
since the DAYS of Richard NJ. Johnston.
whom the Democrats supported for the
Vice Presidency in 1886 and 1910, because
he was so ultra on hat question as TO
have a negro woman for his wife. But
the -miscegenation doctrine had been
growing too popular in some of the DEM
ocratic free States-New Jersey, for in
stance, where the c~opperheads are in the
majority. Finding that their party was
was getting so yisibly mixed with the
darkies as to cause some difficulty in tel
ling ''tother from which" the Legislature
of hat State has passed q law prohibiting
the whites and blacks from intermarrying.
That is the only ray of light we have seen
dawn athwart the horizon of that State
for months. We now have hope of its
political salvation. Its people being here
after prohibited from indulging in their
amslgamation pr~oclivities, viii grow
whittier, less copperheadish and more like
the freer peopleiofthe more Norther States,
and of course will repudiate the a~pologists
OF the South, and vote against the cop
perheads, who in passing the m~iscegena-
ton law unwittingly erected the gai-

Eight OF nine regiments of slave blacks
over eight thousand men IN all-have
been raised for orr army in Maryland
Some of these regiments have been sent
down rs far as South CaaOlina, and others
will soon follow. These eight thousand
men were nearly all slaves, and were en-
listed voluntarily, mainly from the plant
atoms. Very few of the free negroes of
Maryland have entered the ranks. Our
enlistments already must comprise three
fourths of the able-bodied slaves of the
State. The remainder are enlisting as
rapidly as they can find opportunity.

Afflicted

The columns Of the Warrea Constitution
give the most unmistakable evidence that
its editor is sorely afflicted with that NAL
ady 50 peculiar to copperheads; to witt
"Nigger on the brain" That sheet is
nothing more than a weekly compendium
of maudlin rawlings. en=endered by pro-
traeted mental absorption of the African.
Taking a period of three months, thirteen
issues, as a criterian TO judge of the in
tensity OF the prevailing delirium, we
find that the Constitution presents the man
in ebony TO his readers a. an unvarying
weekly dish on which TO regale their
mental appetites. When such disgusting
things, such miserably perverted taste
exists in this enlightened region. is it to
be wondered at that cansbalism exists in
some of earth's darker spotsH 1.-THE cop
perhead Democrat will persist in feasting
on the darkey here, is it strange that the
subjects of his African majesty of Daho-
mey should indulge in roasted Democrat
when he ventures within that bloody do
main? That the copperhead and the
uncivilized African should thus have a
mutual hankering after and relish for
each other IS another evidence of the
compensatory character of natures laws.
The African fellah snd the American cop
perhead are blessed with reciprocal love
and c~ongeniality of taste, with the slight
difference that while the copperhead al
WAYS takes his raw, the felIah prefers a
fry or stew.
With our contemporary negro-phobis IS
a constitutional infirmity. He could no
more issue q number of his paper without
devoting a large share to the negro, than
he could sleep soundly with his eyes
open. The ~soulless cruelty of the man
who makes a T regular businessof persistent
emily pandering to the popular prejudice
against a class of human beings to secure
their deeper debasement and a tighter
welding of the letters of slavery on their
limbs, a helpless people who never injured
him, nor wish to hurt 8 hair of his head,
proves him 3 creature whom it were
base ~fisttery to cali a man"

The why.

The Warren Constitution gives vent 10 a
fash of intelligence, as follows:
There was very little interest felt in
the elections throughout the county-the
Democrats seemed to be reserYing their
strength for the fall campaign"
There's wisdom for youi Poor fellows,
how feeble and puny they must be, when
they did not dare to exert themselves SO
much as to vote at the spring elections,
for fear of exhausting their strength
"Reserving their strength for the fall
campaign Well, they have need to, for
they will require it all, together with all
the "dutch courage" they can manufac-
ture, to be able to hold their heads ur
before the people next fall.
