foul abuse that is contained in these ex

nef OF tyranny ana oppression.
How does that sound to soldier The
banner under which you have been fight
ing so long, and in defence Of which yo,
have shed your blood so freely on the
battle field-that banner is s'the banner
of tyranny and oppression" That is one
specimen of their love for the old flag and
its defenders and here is another proof
The Ashland (Ohio) Democratic Union
says:
"This is damned abolition war. and we
believe Abe Lincoln is just as much of a
traitor as jeff Davis"
That sentiment was uttered by the same
Democracy who now asks the soldiers to
vote for them But read this one, from
the Posey County Qnd.) National Demo
crat
"Bob Lee is thrashing Lincoln's pimps
and bastardS all over the State of Penn.
sylvania, while the brave and gallant Joe
Johnson is cutting into Grants rear with
vengeance, and sending his towards and
poltroons to hell faster than they scratch
gravel from the hill-sides around the Glib
raltar Of the South"
How do you like that, veterans of Grant
and Meade? Can you vote for the Demo
crat who uttered that sentiment? or with
the party who supports him?
Here is another instance of their love
for you and reverance for the old flag:
'Ilood is making mince meat out of
Sherman and his army. Sherman has no
army, it is simply an unprncipled mob
composed Of the very dregs of our cities
pimps of the brothel houses, cut -throats,
thieves, and white-livered poltroons. y
Cairo Democrat
Comment is unnecessary. But here is
another proof Of their loyalty and love for
the soldier
eve will never give any aid or assist
ance to the continuance of this unholy and
unconstitutional war-NCT A MAN
NOT A DOLLAR Allen County Ind J
Copperhead Convention, august Is, 1864.
Here is another
"Any man who volunteers to go to fight
in this abolition crusade ought to be shot.
They are damned aholitonists and blood
suckers Kent ICounty delegate to the
Michigan Copperhead Conoention.
What do soldiers think Of that? That
proves the Democrats to be your friends,
doesn't it and deserving of your conf
dence? Here is another from D. w. Voor-
hees, Democratic member of Congress from
Indiana
II say to you, my constituents, that as
your representative [ will never vote one
dollar nor one gun to the administration Of
Abraham Lincoln, to make war against
the South"
The Democrats cannot say to you that
these are the utterances of only few in
dividuals, editors and speakers, for which
the party is not responsible these senti-
ments were the very life and spirit of the
party, and were reiterated by the great
Democratic party itself, assembled in Ma
tional Convention at Chicago.
The sentiment Of the army in regard to
this party, uttered while at 'the front, y
show the spirit should animate the soldier
now. Gen. John A. Logan, of Illinois, a
Democrat Of the strictcst kind wrote
''Tell them up North for me, that we
can whip the rebels, and are going to do
it and when we are done, we are to re-
turn home When we get there we shall
vet be strong nongh to- summa'.ily punish
any secession sympathizers or peace
preachers that we may be able to find in
our way"
The 1!9th Illinois Inf, at Fort Picker
ing said
"We here solemnly resolve that we viii
hold that man as traitor and an eterna
enemy to our country, who shall propose
or has proposed, any settlement by which
the rebellion shall be screened from JUS
punishment, and the country and her de-
tenders cheated of the fruits Of past vic
tories and present triumphs. Our iabors
blood, ard treasure shall not be spent ir
vain"
In an address from "The Soldiers O
Indiana to the Citizens of Indiana" they
uttered the following pledge:
"We expect to come home some day
We will either come triumphantly, rejoic-
ing over the accomplishment of the object
for which we have. already endured sc
much, or we will come humiliated ane
disheartened at our defeat, and the conse
quent desolation of our country and oul
homes. IN EITHER EVENT WE WILL
MEMBER and HONOR THOSE WHO
HAVE AIDED AND ENCOURAGED Us
BY THEIR INFLUENCE AT HOME
AND WILL VISIT THOSE WHO HAVE
SOUGHT TO DEFEAT US, WITH A
RETRIBUTION PROPORTIONATE TIC
THE EXTENT OF THE EVIL THEY
HAVE BROUGHT UPON US AND OUF
COUNTRY"
! The time has come for the brave mer
of the army and navy to stand by tn,
men who stood by them. Let the ballo
box show that the soldiers can vote fo
those who voted for them, and that tn
party who refused to let soldiers in tn
army vote, are not worthy Of their ballot
now.
