"Times have Changed"

in the North made the welkin ring with
their argument, that the Administration
is the GoverRment.-Union Sept I3.
That "large party said that Con
gress, the President, and the Supreme
Court were the Government, under the
Constitution, and another large party
called them Monarchists, Tyrants and
Usurpers.
A short period ago the same contended
that the party was the Government
Union, Sept. 13.
That "same party" said that the
President was the executive department
only, and another party called him q
cruel Tyrant-a Caligula-an Usurper,
and declared that, 'tif ballots could
not dethrone him bullets could and
they did.
"a brief spell in the past they said, that
to denounce the President was as great
crime as treason."-Ib.
Denouncing Abraham Lincoln for
his efforts in behalf of the Union, and
against traitors who were boldly as
sailing the Union, acos, to all intents
and purposes, Treason! and another
party was guilty of that very act!
proclaimed by these men one of the purest
patriots and greatest statesmen that ever
lived."-U.
Not so. We admired his Patriotism
when another party called him Trai-
tor and vile, drunken wretch-s' a
beauty for Vice President" And now,
when he has made treason honorable,
pardoned those whom he said ssshould
be hung!' and kicked OUT wounded
Union soldiers from official positions,
another party bow at his feet, and beg
for the crumbs that fall from his table
Another party now, with all the trai
tors Of the South, indorse him.
"a short period ago, the Republican
party denied that its object was to force
negro suffrage upon the people."-B.
1t is untrue now. Another party
wants the traitors of the South, men
who tried to destroy this government,
to gain twenty members Of Congress
on negro representation, SO that they,
with those traitors, may again control
the government in the base interests
Of Human Slavery and Treason com
bined, This the great Union party
oppose.
GA few years in the past we had no
enormous debt; the people were compara-
lively free from taxation, and everybody
was prosperous.-Ib.
Why whine now over your own
child? We are not the daddy Of that
debt! You were the groom at that
wedding we mean the Democratic
party); we only put you to bed after
ou~commenced the fracas, and now
be men and don't whine at the deliv-
cry! We are the ones who should
complain, if anybody.
GA few years ago our rulers were honest
men and patriots."-Ib.
That was when OLD ABE was chief
magistrate, but treason took his life,
and another man-one whom Vallan-
digham says told him &C he never was
Republican in sentiment" yet accepted
office at their hands-then turned trai-
tor to his friends, and joined hands
with the enemies Of the old flag! No
wonder you say our rulers were honest
a few years ago!
"a few years ago, statesmen like Clay
and Webster on the Whig side, and Ben
ton, Cass, Douglass and Wright on the
Democratic, were in Congress."--D.
And now you want Lee, Beauregard,
Semmes, Wigfall, jeff. Davis, and a
score Of others, whose hands are reek-
ing with the blood of slain Union he
roes, who fell on a thousand battle
fields for this Union and the nation S
salvation, in their stead! And score
of them you want sent, too, by negro
representation alone! Who is the mig
ger party now? Who is the friend of
traitors :? Who seeks to put the bloody
monsters in the places of Clay and
Webster, Of Douglass and Wright
1t is that other party!
A few years ago Andy Jackson was
going to hang one man (Calhoun) be-
fore he had committed the overt act
Now his (Jackson's) prefessed follow
ers grasp to their bosom, and walk
"arm-i in ARM with traitors Of the
blackest dye! To them traitors ex-
tend hand and it is grasped with q
will, though red with the blood Of the
nations life How recreant!
A few years ago that other party
called the nations defenders-'s the
boys in blue''-" Lincoln hirelings,' .
=" Lincoln dogs" Now they say, " act
