THEN AND NOW.

We cannot but be amused at the
sudden changes that have come over
the dreams Of the radical portions of the
Democratic party, with reference to
their feelings towards the soldiers Of the
federal army.
But few months since, the leaders
of that party we're engaged in the occu-
patton Of finding epithets Of the most
slanderous character, which were ap-
piled without mercy to the noble boys
in blue, and seeking every opportunity
10 defame and bring into disrepute,
those heroic defenders Of the dear old
stars and stripes, f.: the sole reason,
that they we're willing to risk every
thing dear to them, in order to save
the country from the disgrace of being
Inundated by an insolent aristocracy,
that had for its object, the subjugation
of the entire free and enterprising
North, in order to carry on their in
human practice Of human slavery, with
Ill its concomitant evils, such as mis-
cegenation and other crimes against the
law Of common dcccncy. at which the
intelligent mind revolts, and turns away
Disguised.
For warning against these objects SO
dear to the Southern aristocrats, and
their natural allics-tbe copperhcads Of
the North-the boys in blue were sub
icctcd to all kinds of insults, some Of
which were so deep and unbearable,
that they were disposed, on several &C.
casions, to wipe them out in most sum-
mary mauner,-at the hands Of men,
who, from their position and education,
should have been ashamed to think of,
to say nothing Of their uttering them
But this was Then. And what were
the peculiarities OF the Then = They
we're these. Then our army had just
been defeated by willy and desperate
foe, who in his exultation, had forgot
ten all the chivalry and humanity hi
admiring friends in the North hal
claimed tor him, and was thrusting tn
thousands upon thousands OF unfortu
nate prisoners into crowded pens, an,
had organized a regular system Of star
walton, numbering by slow and tortu,
ons process, many fair-faced youth
whose fond father and doting mothe
were perhaps looking with anxiou
heart the return Of their brave, believe
one, and received as are muneration f
St. Cloud Democrat. [volume] (Saint Cloud, Stearns County, Minn.) 1858-1866, 1865-10-05

their long and painful vigils, the heart
rending intelligence that he, their cher
lshed one, had died of cruelties, at the
hands Of his captors, whose chivalry,
humanity and christianity, was so much
applaudea by the copperhead denlocra-
cy Of the North. .
Then, foreign powers were agitatins
recognition Of the eo-called Southern
cortedcracy; were finding fault with
our system Of blockade, and seeking a
pretext for raising the same by COM
bined effort on the part Of several of the
most powerful nations of Europe; then
our army, not only defeated, but some
what discouraged, was requiring rein
forcements, and our noble Chief Exec
udve was using every eSertlon to REIN
force it largely, and the heavy drafts
upon the people for troops made every
one, even the most hopeful, feel gloomy.
Grief and gloom, we repeat, was felt
in every Union household; strong men
bowed themselves in sorrow, and then
renewed themsel. es to meet the dread
full shock !: and then it was, that copper
headism was most virulent, then it was
that the honest-,ninded brave soldiers
Of the army Of the North were attacked
by foe in the rear, more hateful 10
them than the desperate foe in front,
and more damaging to the cause of hui
manity, because of their .sneaking and
cowardly mode of warfare.
All this was then ; and what of ,,o,c ?
Now, affairs are somewhat changed
The Government has triumphcd ovel
Wrong and oppression; naughty, insc-
lent foe has been vanquished, and NOW
humbly Graves pardon from a people
whom he onco despised. Truth has
triumphcd over error, aud the nation
thanks to an Almighty God, and the
daring and perseverance, of the North
ern soldiers-has passed through a fe-
~ ordeal purified of its national dis
grace, and its people rejoice in the
prospect Of universal freedom.
The soldiers who so nobly barred their
breasts to the storm Of battle, and thus
secured this glorious boon, have return
ed to their homes, to their wives,
daughters, and sisters, whose fair fame
was maligned and traduced by the vile
slanderous tongue Of the infamous lead
ers Of party, who now flock around
tasf %stp5a &s!Ss5& he th ssS i Ger
bravery and herois,n, and respectfully
solicit, as reward for their condescend-
sion, the support and united vote Of
those, whom they once with brazen eff:
trontery. were pleased to demonstrate
as ''hirelings," "cut throats," "thieves'
and uniformed scoundrcls." Such be.
ing the facts, all We ask of the Union
soldiers everywhere, when going to the
ballot-box, is to bear in cherished re.
mcmbrancc the THEN and NOW; and
We will be satisfied with the result.

THAT LETTER OF EXPLANATION.

Our readers will doubtless remember
that in our last weeks issue we pub
ished, at the request of the writer,
letter from one whom we had censured
as being instrumental in procuring the
nomination Of certain candidates now
running on the Democratic ticket in
this District. The letter, of course, ex-
plains itself, and as our time aud space
were somewhat limited last week, we
inserted it, merely prefacing it with
few remarks, which we, of course trust
will not be considered personal. We
now proposed to speak of said letter &C.
knovledging its merits, and..also, some
Of the facts which its publication de-
velopcd. -:.-
In the first place, Mr.. -Zapp says We
accused him Of saying that certain b.
Overlook represented the resoectabilitys
and intelligence of the Germans of
Stes1ns county. Such, we acknowledge
10 have been the language we used, or
intended using; and all VIC have to
say in yindication of that course on our
part, is to repeat what we said. in the
preface to his letter: viz. Snthat orr in.
formation was derived from the dele
gates to that convention" and We may
now add, from Mr.. Zapp's own letter,
to which is attached. his own signature
Hear him in the close of his defense.
II did present the name of Mr.. Over
beck" he had given his reasons for SO
doing-fear Of Barney's inauence) "and
MIR. J. l.. Wilson objected &c." II re.
plying that MIR. Overlook was not
claimed as from St. Cloud, but to rep:
resent the Germans at large" Such
being the exact language of Mr.. ~
letter, we leave our readers to Judge
whether We misrepresented him, or did
him any great wrong in publishing
what he at first denies, and then in tn,
same communication acknowledges t
have done; and at the same time, ",
kindly thank him for sending us tina

notice by way Of confirming our asser
tons, as there are some among hi
J, friends, who might otherwise have re
garded our assertions, as certain can

We therefore leave Mr.. z. to tho
tender mercies Of those whom no sought
to honor, and will promise to publish all
communications intended to throw fur
Their light on the subject. The publ
cation of this letter has revealed the
fact thatrthe Old War Horse made one
Of the greatest flank movements ever
known in the great contestsin that par
ty, for nomination. We IRE informed
by delegate, that after the convention
was organized. with Ruben Richardson
chairman, that a motion was made and
carried. by which the convention agreed
to ballot informally for the nomination
of Senator. There We're thirty. four
ballots cast, Of which r. Richardson
received seventeen, and scattering sew
entcen; giving the War Horse plu-
rality, but not majority, but as the
chairman had presided over more dig
nitied bodies than said convention, and
was supposed to be versed in parliament
ary usages, and seeing that this was
the time to defeat all other aspirants for
said nomination, he arose from his seat
and without.awaiting a formal ballot
declared Ruben Richardson the nomi
nee for Senator on the Democratic tick.
ct, and through this little piece Of hon
est strategy ESQ delegate informed us,)
became the standard bearer of the Dem
ocratic party in this district. But few
Of the delegates seemed to realize the
manner in which the nom aation Was
effected, but willy Ruben did, AMI the
result up to the present, is sort Of
family jar in the happy circle Of aspi-
rants and justly 50 too and we hope
that the final rest will be verdict in
favor Of our little Nc. occupying the
place sought by Rulen. 49,:
Another fact developed by Mr.. KS
letter, though not brought out in his
communication: is, that although thy
might with all ::ropricty make the de-
mand, the Germans Of this district
have mcrcr asked to be especially rep
resented i'll our legislature. and that
this move in the late convention was
only to secure votes for certain candi-
dates for county officers, who are some-
what fearful of their not retaining their
present positions. What is more, had
The Germans desired to be represented,
as a people, they have sufficient intel
'''''', a''>a wIIaC Kind of
a man should ,.p.~~~.. &c.,,
,rould represent them with honor aud
credit. But finding in Overlook a
ready tool, certain political wire-pullcrs
in the said convention, placed him in
nomination for the avowcd purpose of
securing votes for themselves at the cx-
pcnse Of the dignity and fair fame of
the county, and to still tmthcr their
| interests, politically, attached two other
names to the District ticket, borne by
men no better qualified, and in some
respect inferior to Overlook, aud hope
not only to elect them, but also them
selves. Citizens OF Stcarns county,
will you tamely submit to such ou'ra-
scs upon your better feelings?

specifications are being prepared by
which to bring TO trial n Captain in the
army who has been on duty for several
months in the city of Alexandria. 1t
is generally understood that the accus-

and also for resOrting 10 manifold de-
vices for. impressing men into the ser

bounty therefor of $50 or $40 paid 10y

The government does not intend TO con
fine its prosecutions for abuse of sol
