R,pHtiica, grows vfry patriotic, and, in \
very labored article in his .last week 5 issue,
attempts to prove that il was he and his
party thst done al the volunteering, kept
up the war, and were the only friends oi
the soldiers. Now we propose, very briefly
to examine these prepostercus claims which
are characterized by the ignorance and im-
cadence Of the baek-township country poll
Jician, Combined with the knaycry Of the
demagogre.
lst. lie says that al the volunteers came
from the Republican party. Every person
with ordinary intelligence knows this to be
uHtruc Men of all parties came forward
freely and volunteered More persons vol
unteercd than there were voters in the Re
publican party, which fact in itself is sufi-
cient proof against that assertion; beside,
every person knows that there were great
many Republicans L1 at home whom no one
suspected of having very anxious desire tc
enter the army.
ID. He says that the Republican party
favored" every draft ordered by the au,
;horities This is untrue. Drafts were
their special terror As soon as draft wa,
ordered there was such rushing to and
fro to avoid the draft as one seldom sees
Most Of them would almost have giver
their last dollar than gointo the army. They
would hire negroes, boys, or anybody they
could get to go into the army, no matter il
they knew that they would not survive the
hardships Of war for six weeks, while the
big, stout and able bodice men would al
most extort money flom men who were will.
ino to stand the draft, in order that they
might be relived. Five cents reward will
be paid.forssthe apprehension of any Repub-
lican who had any desire to be drafted.
Sd. He next declares that all opposed tc
the Republican party are Coppcrhsads, and
in the interest Of the Rebellion This is tee
contemplate to notice The great Demo
cratic party has always been, and still is the
safety Of the country. Numbering Eighteen
Lunded Thousand Men in the States that
adhered to the Union, is power that is
not to be despiscd. lie would be either a
khave or fool who would make such silly
charge. 1t proves entirely too much for the
good of the country. The Democratic par
ty, in accordance with the rights of Ameri-
can citizens, saw fit to differ from the policy
of the party in power, and at this time are
sustained in their past differences by some
of the best minds in the Republican party,
who now see some Of the evils Of the ex-
ercisc Of arbitrary power in attempting to
suppress freedom of the press, the exer-
else of free speech, confscation and exter-
mination, &c. Good men Of all parties now
see that unless the spirit of conciliation is
now manifested toward the crring people OF
the South, the war would be worse than a
''tailure" to restore the Union.
Sd. There is no evidence of even the ex-
istencc of trcasonabe" secret societies,
none were ever put on trial before any prop
cr court for any such offence. Military
Commissions and trunped-up stories by
Government detectives don't amount to any
thing. The Sons Of Liberty was no more
"trcasonablo' organization than the
Union League"
Mr.. Hatton forgets his own actions when
he boasts Of what he has done for the war.
The very last call made for troops Mr.. Hat
ton refused to give dollar for bounty to
volunteers, when at the same time he used
his Influence to have politicians promoted in
the army, to the great injustice to the gal
laut deserving soldiers
The editor of the Republican is for party
and not country, and the people will not
forget him as the enemy Of the great and
gallant SHERMAN, upon whom he has
vented so much hate; and when be lacked
ability to say bad enough thing, he would
