How They Oppose Secession.

A correspondent of the Canton Register
gives the following as a specimen of the pat
riotic manner in which certain democratic
paper in Fulton county used to encourage the
soldiers in the work Of putting down the re-
bellion:
On Tuesday last the great consumption act
passed the United States Senate
How signally these black heart ed traitors will
| fail they shall soon see This infamous act
| of tyranny will be resisted and repelled by a
million and a half of as good men as ever
trod the soil of freedom. Can
the imbecile ,urang- -outang at Washington CO.
cree fifteen hundred thousand free Northern
| men to trample their consciences in the dust
| by fighting people who are day thousand
times nearer the right than the blood hounds
of despotism who are pursuing them.
The first attempt to carry out its provisions
viii be the signal for the united upri sing of a
| determined aud desperate milt. .tude of free
| men who will court annihiiation rather than
submit for one moment to the tyrannies of
the Lincoln Despotisn
There are million and half of men in
the North to-day waiting impatiently to hear
the magic battle cry: "DOWN With THE
USURPERl TO ARMS! TO ARMSl TO
ARMSt''
| We remember to have seen in the same
sheet ali enquiry something like, show long
will we have to wait before the strong arm
and steady aim of the backwoodsman will rid
the nation of tyrant!" These are fine fell
lows to give reception dinners and hearty
welcomes to returned soldiers Wirz might
| assist with equal propriety.

THIsry-oyE Soldiers in Ottumws, Wapello
county, publish in the Courier card to which
their signatures and the names of their Regi
ments are attached, saying that in their belief
the so-called 8 Soldiers movement, as de-
veloped in the State Convention on the 23d oi
August, was a shabby trick of Copperhead
politicians TO inveigle new recruits into the
Copperhead party under false pretences, and
they concluded as follows
:. These beng our views, we spurn and spit
upon the Possum attempts TO defeat the Union
party by a so-called 'anu-negro suffrage tick
ct, or so-called soldiers ticket, that is to
be taken into the yearning bosom of the Cop
perhead party of this County, and warmed
by its infective breath and embraced in its pu.
trid arms and we spurn with contempt the
men engaged in LAYING this scheme of fraud
and deception.
/ The above is good for this County, and the
soldier who pretends that a ticket with Hol.
man, Hedges, Lowden, and such notorious
Copperheads, is Soldiers ticket, simply
stuitifes himself, and shows that he is ready
to sacrifice everything in his greed for Office.
