BE HONEST.

The Copperhead papers Of Ohio,
since the nomination of Gen. Cox as
the Union candidate for Governor,
have been filed with charges against
him-that he was in favor of "negro
equality" and "negro voting"--and
the only evidence they produced to
sustain their charges was that he had
been educated at Obcrlin College, an
institution controlled by anti Slavery
sentiment. r....
Gen. Cox has been questioned by
some OF his Oberlin friends upon these
subjects, and, with candor and clear
ness unusual to politicians, has given
his views upon them; and we venture
the prediction that his answer to the
Oberlin Committee will never be pub
lished entire in a single CopperheaG
paper In the State. We shall see, nc
doubt, plenty of garbled extracts from
it, with comments and assertions with
out number, bat in no case will it b'
published entire. .,tr s..
We ask the editor of each Copper
head paper in this Congressional Dis
trict to print the following extract from
Gen. Cox's letter, which clearly give
his views upon the subject Of "negr'
voting" and "negro equality; or, |

GEN. COX's LETTER.

We publish on the first page Of this
weeks paper the clear, able, candid
letter of Gen. j. ID. Cox, Union can
didate for Governor of Ohio, giving
Ills views upon the questions of recon
struction and "what will you do with
the negro. ...... re-.
The Cleveland Herald, speaking Of
this letter, says: ,....
We can almost pardon Mcssrs. Fairchild
and Plumb tor their mischieyous letter to
Gen Cox, inas,nuch as it has called from
as to the proper disposition to be made of
the freedmen of the south. Gen. Cox, as
we in Northern Ohio particularly have long
known, is u gentleman of high order o.
ability, man of sound Judgment, OF wide
observation and ofirreproachable character
| For his years he has not his superior IN thu
State, and few are his peers. That gentle
man has proved one of the most accomplish
ed soldiers in this war. Appointed from
civil life, no took rank at once with officers
of his grade, and has constantly advuncet
until no has been placed by the highest mil
| itary minds, and by the most thorough j
educated soldiers in the front rank Of ou
Major Generals. l ,11i -yus
o Such being facts the words of Gen. Coz
should have great weight. He has no
only fought this war, but he has studied it
its causes and Its effects. His eye haspeer
ed into the future, for he well knew that
the end OF the military power Of the REBEL
ion was but the threshold of great question
that in their solution were 10 try tho states
manship ofthe country. And General Go!
has had peculiar advantages Tor forming
sound opinion; his military life has bee
spent in the feid,and much oft in the hear
Of s,a,eholding district. We shall not el
pi ess any opinion as TO the solution of tn
perplexing question given by General Cox
| but We do say that no man is better able L
give sensible solution, nor can any on
bring to bear upon the vexed point oleare
head or more honest heart. 4
There is no man who will CAREFUL
and candidly read this letter but vii
admit the ability and honesty .of 1t
author; and, in order that it may b
read by every man in the County VIII
is willing to read and know the opir
ions of others, we have published tw
thousand extca copies of it for gratui,
Gus distribution, and ask the friends G
truth and justice to see that they AZ
thoroughly circulated in every tow
and Township In the County.

Things to be Remembered

The soldiers Of Belmont County, and
all who have loved the country in the
late terrible struggle through which it,
has passed, should remember that the
Copperhead party of Ohio was unit
in refusing them the right to vote while
in the army. I'D ID b..
They should remember that the Cop
perheads took the sides of the desert
ers from the draft and the skulkcrs and
towards who ran off to Canada when
the country needed them to help its
soldiers on the banks Of the Chatta-
hooclie and the James.
They should remember that the
Peace o. Copperheads organized soci-
cites to resist the draft, and armed
themselves to murder the officers of tho
Government WHO undertook to enforc,
it. ..
They should remember that this
party opposed every war measure o
the Government; and if they ever ge
into power in the nation will repu
diatc the pensions the Government i
paying to their MANNED comrades an'
to the widows of the dead heroes 0
the Republic. ..... ..l .r

The ResuItOfIndecent Haste.

When the ID .mocracy appropriated Pres
ident Johnson TO themselves, it was with
the understanding that they were at liberty,
while appropriating the President, to abuse
bis Constitutional advisers. Ofcourse, after
bera,ing Slant IN and Seward SO thorough
ly as has been their custom for years, 1t was
not expected that they could be brought to
eat their humble pie" and find any COED
in those sterling patriots. But Andy john
son was a different man altogether Had
they not opposed his election and said
naughty things OF him, and had they not a
right to suppose that by iawnpg on him
they could induce him to turn his expert
euced counset,rs out in the cold. and replace
them by Vallandigham, Long Il Co. 2
Certainly; but they had no right to think
so, and so have they discovered. They are

they are committed to his support, and it is
difficult to see how they can avoid support

Guilty. The World has at length sounded
the keynote, and il will net be long before
the lesser journals will square around, and
resume their natural position against the

Don't M AentiOu 10! ,

The rebels Of the South aid the Cop
perheads of the North are very urgent
in their appeals to the loyal people who
have saved the republic, to refrain
from all allusion to the past, in order
that reconciliation may be made easy.
For example the New York News
very much disliIles the preservation Of
the trophies of victory at Washington,
"for as long rs they arc preserved they
will serve as tokens of the humiliation,
conquest and subjugation Of the South.
Every person from the South, h,who
comes to Warrington, will see in the
trophies an expression Of triumph, of q
victory over the vanquished. The
Southern people feel and acknowledge
that they have been conquered, They
are willing, they desire to submit to
the nth ority of the Government
They admit the power of the Govern
ment to impose upon them any terms
which the latter chooses to adopt =
But IL the Government would gain once
more the love and regard Of the South
ern people, the latter must be treated
as fellow citizens, and as equal and
honored members of the national con
stituency. The preservation Of the
trophies of the war would serve to re,
mind them continually of their abor,
tive attempt to achieve their indepen
dence, and of the disastrous result tc
them of the war" b..
1t follows from this reasoning that
we must destroy all the sacred relies
of the war, and do everything possible
to cause the people to forget that any
of this generation were traitors. W.
should, in order to conciliate thos,
late rebels who confess that the only
reason they are not such now, is because
they are helpless, cease all mention O
the late war, its battles and its horrors
We must even level the graves of oul
buried soldiers, and drive over then
the plowshare, in order that the mem
ory of the brave may DO forgotten, o
else Union will be impossible, an'
further war may be apprehendod. o
course the Copperheads would be gla'
to see such general PROCLAMATION o
everything sacred, because their owl
infamy is even greater than that of th'
open traitors themselves. Gaz

WE publish elsewhere letter from
loyal planter of Georgia to the N. Y.
Evening Post, in relation to the treat
ment of Union prisoners in the prison
pen at tAndersonville, which must cause
a shudder Of renewed horror and grief
throughout the entire loyal community
and to the remotest confines of eivili-
zation. If the half of this fearful cat
aloguc be true, the bones of the thirty
thousand martyrs who perishod in that
terrible charnal house can never rest
quietly in the pits and holes into which
they were ruthlessly tumbled until the
last extremity Of outraged law shall be
visited upon the perpetrators of these
terrible crimes.
The people should remember, too
that the leaders in the cause in whicl
these awful outrages were committed
are equally guilty with the more hum

and the party in the North who winke'
at their crimes are by no means guilt
