SOLDIERS AND SAILORS.

An address has been issued by
some persons at Washington, at the
instigation of the President, calling
upon the soldiers and sailors "who
approve the policy of restoration of
the. President and the principles an
nounced by the National Convention
at Philadelphia" to meet at Cleve.
land, on the 18th day of September
next. The address is signed by II
number of Generals, many OF whom
cannot show clear war record.
The argument advanced in the al
dress is simply rchash of all that
has been said by the Copper.rebel
element of our country, and is not
worth a review. They set forth that
in the Convention the South was rep.
resented by the foremost statesmen
of the South and cite q number OF
names. But they lose sight of the
fact that most OF these foremost
statesmen" were rebels and worked
to establish Confedcracy. .
They say that the Constitutional
amendment will never he adopted by
the South because they will not vote
to disfranchise their leaders. Says
the address:
"Wnuld Union soldiers, TO recover
political privileges, dislranchisc their
leaders whom they revere for their
heroic virtues? ? How then can VIC
cxpec. Southern soldiers to disfran.
chisc and degrade their old comman
durs p
Have the Union soldiers lost any
political prillcgcs ? Can they lose
item except by putting into power,
rebels and their coadjutors in the
North. The extract is mere non.
sense.
Gas there is no probability that
the amendment will he ratified by
three .rourths of the St"tes, the plan
of restoration which Congress ap.
pears to have determined upon is, Il,
best, impracticable." D."
Why is there no probability Of its
being ratified by three ,fourths Of The
States? Simply, at all, lecause the
rebels will vote against it. We sup
pose then, as rebels refuse our terms
liberal as they are we are to az
C 'pt terms from them.
The address is similar to the tx.
tracts, and we cannot spare the space
for more about it. The only wonder
is, that men Of sense will allow sucl
weak, contradictory, foolish article
to go before the country with theil
names to it.
Ii is long address to a very few
people-most Of them disgraced Off

against treason for years; il he does
he has the impudence to assume that
at his beck they would gather around

country. What do the soldiers think
OF it?

a grand ending of a grand farce

that has been accumulating on his
garments by wallowing in the mire.

A GOOD JOHNSON MAN.

A person named Finnefrock, resi-.
ding at Fremont, was recently nom
mated as candidate for Representa-
tive cn the Coppcrhcad ticket, from
the Ninth District. To assist in car
rying out his plans, he procured the
services of Geo. IL. pcndlcton, the
man who, with Vallandigham, did
such signal service for the rebels in
Kentucky few weeks since. Pen
dlcton spoke in Tinln yesterday, and
no doubt spoke as highly ofhis friends
Finre rock of the Ninth, and Mungen
OF the Fifth Districts, rs he did Of
his eqnlly beloved friend, the rebel
Duvall oil Kentucky.
To show that they are kindred
spirits, we give the following extract
from a speech purported to have
been made by Finneirock in 1868:
democrats, arm yourselves. Go
armed TO the polls. Resist the draft,
for il blood is to be shed it might as
well he shed in SandusKy county as
in ABE. Lincoln's slaughter pens.'
The Ottawa U,sion says of his rec.
ord:
"Finnerrock' record shows that du
ring the storm OF Indignation which
swept over the North at the time OF
the fall of Fort Sumter, he dare not
express his real sentiments, but sim
ulated loyalty. Later in the war
himself and friends, in their private
offices held high carnival over the re.
verses of the Union army. When
Mcclellan was defeated aud forced
to withdraw from before Richmond,
Finnelrock invited citizen of this
place to attend an oyster supper,
given 10y himself, in honor oi the de.
feat Of the 'nion army.
How will the soldiers whom the
democrats" hope TO lead off, like to
vote for q man who expressed sucil
sentiments and acted in such n man
ner as above shown? How can they
vote for man, who being more COW
ar lly,than Finneriock, concealed his
true sentiments during the short
time he served in the army, but as
soon Rs he again came in contact
with such characters as the man wht
uttered the words above given, wa'
as violent as has fellows We plac,
too much faith in the men who Tough
from principle, to believe that thcj
will cast their principles aside q:
naught, and vote the country into ,
worse condition than it was bcfor,

Convention and read amidst great
cheering; that Dixie received more

Massachusetts delegations entered

were adopted that considering the

THE FRO ,PECT.

From all parts Of the country, our
exchanges come to us full OF hope,
and confident of complete success at
the coming elections. At n number
of Congressional Conventions the
present incumbents, or others equally
rs good have been nominated for
Congress, showing conclusively that
thepower OF the old slaveocracy, with
johnson as their tool, has made no
impression on the minds of the peo-
pie, save an insignificant number of
those who sink all principle for the
sake of office, The people are as de.
termined at present, to fight for the
right, as they were when tn, rebels
were in arms. They feel that the
wrongs of our country have not yet
been righted and are now determined
to complete at the polls the work for
which they have sacrificed so much
blood and treasure.
