REBEL LITERATURE.
PerfdiOus Copperhead Doctrine u
EXTRACTS FROM THE GOLD GUARD.n
WHERE Mr.. FINEFRoCK GETS HIS
IDEAS.

The October number, 1866, of the intensely
disloyal magazine known as The Old Guard,
which Mr.. Finefrock subscribes for, reads reg
ularly, and believes in religiously, now lies on
our table. From the Editorial Department of
the thing we Gull few choice extracts and
present them to our readers as samples of the
doctrine advocated by Mr.. Finefrock and other
copperheads of that stripe Their perfdy will
bring blush of shame to the cheek of every
one not rebel at heart;
THE WAR WAS FORCED uPoN THE SOUTH.
1--WE notice occasionally what purports to be
a report of the speech of some Southern gen.
tlemon, to the effect that they submitted the
question to the decision of arms and lost This,
it strikes US, IS both a shallow and an untrue
statement of the case. The South did not sub
init the question to the decision of arms, but
that decision was forced upon it. The South
ern States undertook to resume the exercise of
their delegated powers. This was no act of war,
but an assertion of ight which was held sacred
by all the States at the adoption of the Consti-
tuition. The Federal Government, backed by
the Abolition States, rushed to war and forced
the southern people to fight for their lives aud
their homes. This is the simple truth of the
whole matter. They DO more submitted the is
sue to the decision of arms than than a man
submits his property to the decision of arms
when he defends himself from the assaults of
the midnight thief
WHAT WAS DECIDED BY THE WAR
Nothing has been decided by the war ex-
cept the damning fact that the southern people
have been inhumanely murdered and plundered
by the Abolitionists. We have no softer word
to apply to the bloody despotism than murder
and theft"
THE LOYAL CONGRESS TO BE sQUELcHED.
at will not take long to legally squelch the
Stevens and Summer insurgents if they attempt
to forcibly eject members from their seats In
our opinion this is the duty of the conserva-
tives. The southern and northern cOnserya-
tives are majority of even the present Con-
gress, if legally organized. We say let them
90 there, and together refuse to be put down
BY the radical reYolutionists. The scuffie would
be BRIEF and would end right. 1t will be the
Presidents duty and his pleasure, we doubt not
to recognize the legal majority as the Congress.
AS now organized, it is not legal BODY
The ASSASSINATION OF LINCOLN A HEROIC ACT.
because western editor speaks of Wilkes
Booth as a hero and patriot a Republican
editor flies into horrors of horrors, and declares

stupid the instructions of Jehovah to His peo-
pie in the Old Testament, and learn how tYrants
were to be treated How many years has the

the greatest, either in profane or sacred history
and none but an atheist will dou it."

NEGRO SUFFRAGE NOT AN ISSUE IN THE
CAMPAIGN,

The copperheads with unparalleled falsehood
assert that the Constitutional Amendment will
give the emaucipated blacks the right Of suf-
frage 1t will do no such thing. 1t will Sc
cure to the negroes of the South certain civil
rights but the right of suffrage is not one of
them. That is matter that must be settled
by the people of the several States. The
amendment abolishing slavery would be in
complete were it not supported by the proposed
amendment. The one simply abolished the
system of involuntary servitude; the other will
provide for the security of the negroes in their
new found freedom The one changed their
condition from that of brutes TO men; the other
will throw around these men the protecting
authority of the highest law of the land in the
enjoyment of the natural rights of men-the
right to eat the bread which their own hands
have earned.
Whatever may be the abstract truth in re-
gard to the question of suffrage as a natural
right of citizenship or an acquired qualification,
in reality we have even in this, the most Demo-
cratic form of Government in existence, prac-
ticed the theory of conferring citizenship con-
ditionally, even in the case of the native born
| inhabitants. For example, one Of the States
requires that its male inhabitants shall come up
to certain Standard of intelligence in order to
vote; and the State of Ohio can, at any time, by
amending its constitution, require a similar
qualification or a property qualification.
Hence it does not necessarily follow that men
are voters because they are citizens. The pro-
posed Constitutional Amendment may make
citizens of the negroes, but the States only can
make them voters. We presume the Copper
head antipathy 10 the despised race is SO much
stronger than that of the former Shareholders,
that they would howl tremendously should
| South Carolina Of her own accord confer the
right of suffrage upon her liberated slaves.
They presume too much upon the credulity OF
ignorance of even the most credulous or ignor.
ant of the Democracy, when they assert that
the Amendment to the Constitution proposed
by Congress will confer the right of suffrage
upon the blacks. Everybody knows that Con.
gress rejected ali the plans of reconstruction
which made the return of the rebel States
conditional upon granting that right of suffrage
SuxKEn, in the Senate, and STEv EMS in the
House were first, last and all the time the most
strenuous advocates of that plan; but The
Union majority objected, and referred the mat.
ter exclusively to the people of the States
The amendment however, if adopted, as it viii
be, makes it the interest of the Southern Ststei
to confer all the political rights enjoyed by the
whites upon their blacks. 1t offers thost
States premium on liberality; but exacts nc
forfeitures if they see tit 10 be ungenerous.

AND MODERATION THE BEST
POLICY.

Considering his character and record, no cam
didate was ever dealt with so lcniently as Mr..
Finefrock has been during the pending Politi-
cal campaign. While he has ranted and raved
on the stump in the most unseemly manner
against Gen. Buckland, and INDUCED in low
personal abuse and falsehood, the latter has
never alluded to his opponent except in cour-
teous terms, and spoken only against the Po-
litieal principles which he represents. Besides
his own personal abuse, Mr. Finefrock has pro-
cured the services of others with as little char
scter and less respectability than himself, to
circulate falsehoods against his opponent. That
these ISLANDERS have recoiled upon their authors
is no wonder; but they are none the less guilty
ard despicsble.
On the other hand, how have Union men
dealt with Mr.. Finefrock. We have not de-
nounced him in virulent language. We have
not told the whole truth respecting his infa-
nous war record. We have only given few
sample facts, enough to remind the people Of
the past. that they might be warned against
future peril. We have never detailed, for ex-
ample. the circumstance of certain leading cop
perheads being chased down by the boys in
blue in this place, aud made to carry the flag
and hurrah for the Union; nor mentioned how
Mr.. F. escaped on that occasion. We have
never alluded to his private character as man
or professional reputation as lawyer.
So with the rest Of their ticket Our readers
will bear us out in the assertion that we have
carefully abstained from alluding to their weak
points, ard have not done so, except in few
instances when We felt imperaiively called upon
to state facts We have alluded to Mr.. Gep-
hart incapacity, because the people had right
to understand it. BY way of warning, in this
connection, we have cited the results Of inca-
pacity in our present County Auditor. In re-
gard to others of their candidates, we have kept
silent where perhaps justice to voters demand
ed publicity. But we have preferred to err, il
at all, on the side of moderation. We have
trusted that the Importance of the issues, and
the finally evident character and purposes Of
the opposition would be sufficient to arouse the
people to efficient action. This faith will be
realized on Tuesday next. We believe tina,
elections are hereafter to be carried on princi.
pie, and the party which relies mainly on per.
sonal abuse Of candidates, and especially on
bare-faced lying, will meet with ignOminiOul
defeat. We trust to see cur hopes verified
next Tuesday in the discontinue Of the cop.
psrjohnson party in Ohio aud this district and
county.

west indulges in tho following talk to his sub
scribers and patrons. The famous speech of
Brutus on the death of Caesar, as rendered by
Shakespeare, is made to do new service in this
amusing travesty:
Z" Hear us for our debts, and get ready that
you may pay; trust Us, we have need, as you
have long been trusted acknowledge your in
dcbtedncss and dive into your pockets that
you may promptly fork over. If there be any
among you-one single patron-that don't
owe us something, then to him we say, step
aside, consider yourself gentleman. If the
rest wish to know why we dun them, this is
our answer: not that we care about ourselves,
but our creditors do Would you rather that
we went to jail, and you go free than you pay
your debts and keep us moving? AS we
agreed, we have worked for you; as we con
tracted, we have furnished you the paper; but
as you don't pay we dun you.
Here are agreements for job work. contracts
for subscriptions, promises for long credit, and
duns for deferred payment Who is there so
green that he don't take paper? If any,
he need not speak, for we don't mean him
Who is there so green he don advertise If
any, let him slide; he amt the chap either.
Who Is there so mean that he don't pay the
printers? If any let him speak, for he's the
man we're after"
A FARMER, whose son had been ostensibly
learning Latin in a popular academy, not be-
ing perfectly satisfied wita the CONDUCT Of
