sociation, he issues to the reunited Demo
cratic party. is very careful to proclaim that
the Democracy of the North was opposed to
the majority Of the people. And he at the
same time takes pains to declare that said

overthrow of slavery, which he pronounces "a
great wrong" against the South.
We freely acquit the Copperhead party of
any sympathy for the war, or any aid and
comfort rendered to any of the war measures.

The Benefits Of the w ar.

TIE Washington Chronicle, LIncoln's Off
cal organ, in speaking Of the war, uses tie
FLOWING language
''Insead o: imp"verishi0g the North, as
was So confidently predicted by our Southern
irieudS, the war has tended TO the rapid in
ctrase of our wealth. aud is adding enormous.
" to The fortunes of many individuals. MAu-
ufacturers and con tractors have anaSScd i'm
mense fnrtuncs."
The conclusion arrived at in the above ex-
tract Will illustrate the dninluS of the abolI-
tion party. Because manufacturers aud con-
tractors have "ana>sed immense fortunes,
the war is pronounced blessing, which
should be fosered by the people, This is
queer logic but is characteristic of the core
ruplion ana blood thirstiness Of the abolition
leaders.
Whist manufacturers and dealers in sbod
dy have amassed immense fortunes and are
IlvIng in splendor and eXtravagance by rea-
son of war, how many families, bereft of their
natural protectors, have been reduced TO the
must ahjrct poverty and misery, by the same
reason ? Where the war has produced une
hundred m,lllonaires, it las caused ten thou
sand widows and orphans to "beg for the
crumbs that fall irIm their masters table" J."
Where once there was happiness, plenty and
content, it has brought misery, squalor and
hollow eyed hunger. 1t exalts the rich and
degradcs the poor it is enriching the, few,
and irnpovcrshng the many, 1t brings sor-
row where there was eladness, and mourning
where there was rej j'cns, 1t has changed
friendship into ennity, and love into hate
And yet in all this the official organ sees
naught but blessings !-MOntroSe Dem.

The New Draft.

The Wilkesbarre Record Of the Timer, the
chief Lincoln organ in LuZerne County, says:
The new draft Is engaging the attention Of
the people in various parts of Luzerne. a
meeting was held in Plains twp. on Saturday,
and committee appointed to g to Scranton,
to see if information on the subject can be
mined out of the Provost Marshal's office
there. With half civil officials, the iuforrna-
ton would lie gwen TO save trouble, bat no
better can be expected now than the same
system OF punder and mismanagtment thai
characterized the former draft, and so DISCUS
ted ALL classes Of people. Giving early in
formation on the subject of the draft would
benefit the service by filling the ranks of the
army more promptly, and it would show that
officials have little respect for the people"
Come; come Mr.. Record, You ought to
be too loyal to indulge in such second-h hand
copperhead abuse Of those who are working
to put down this rebellion Do you know
that such talk ombarrasses the government,
and comforts the Rebels? If not, you lied
awfully before election. Keepa stiff upper
lip, and don't begin to whine now, for you've
got four years more of Lincoln, etc, &c, to
endure, and the fun Of it is, you voted for
him.-DdnriHe Intelligencer.
