tional Union Convention" to be held in PhiIa-
delphia, in August, presents sorry blunderers.
From men claiming to be Union down to dem

present a conglomeration of all that is corrupt,
time.serving, and traitorous. Unwashed and
unrepentant rebels hope by its doors to enter
Congress, repeal all test-oaths rePudiate the
national bonds, and punish-not the men who
sought to destroy the government but those
who bravely rescued it from their reasonable
attempt. For these men to raise banner on
whose face is inscribed "Union,'' is supremely
ludicrous. The people have been deceived too
often by the false notes of this party to join
very enthusiastically in the chorus of this last
song. The real metre is too palpabls. Intelli-
gence is past being frightened by the terms
Radical" IN Negro-Lovers," and "Rump Con-

Justice of much that frightened political babes
in davs gone by. The defeat of Lee at Gettys-
burg decided more than the question of his ad-
vance in the State. opened the minds,
strengthened the hearts, and quickened the un-
derstanding of a large mass who previously be-
lieved the Democratic party infallibie. Il gave
new force to the truth that Benedict Arnold
might be terminated and Judas take new

hands of Buchanan was too weak to protect it.

s.TFsE OLD DOG GRANT,

| The following article from the Springfield, III
Journal, needs no supplement, 1t is respect
fully referred to the gentlemen who are engaged
in the pleasant pastime of asking the Pennsyl-
vana soldiers to vote for Hester CIymer against
John W. Geary, for Governor of Pennsylvania
Even more amusing and astonishing than the
newborn approval of Andrew Johnson by his
recent slanderers and prosecutors, in this effort
to rally the support of the soldiers for Clymer
their chief assalant Ill the State. If the Copper
heads represented by C1ymer had one hatred
stronger, it is that which they bear to Lieuten-
ant General Grant and the La Crosse Democrat
that is so calumnious of him, deserves the more
credit than they, because it speaks precisely as
it feals. How curious it is to contrast the Cop
perhead dislike of Grant with the Copperhead
admiratino Of Lee While they execrate the
one as a butcher, they cauonize the other as a
saint, forgetting that, long before Grant finally
defeated Lee, the latter was fully conscious Of
his fate, yet kept his famishing and fainting
troops in the field as if for the purpose of offer
them up as victims to the bayonets Of the Union
heroes But read the article:
The La Crosse Democrat, one of the leading
papers of the Democratic party in Wisconsin,
makes furious onslaught upon Gen. Grant, of
whom it speaks as follows:
All, but old dog of Galena. your teeth are
gone,and as the age Ofmiracles has passed away
you are not likely to grow 4 new set right
away, What an aspiration for man by whose
orders the torch swept the fair land and beau
tiful Shenadoahl Nero fiiddling dancing, and
reyeling over the wreck of burning, did not ask
another Rome te satiate his passions; but Gen.
Grant who planned deeds, and caused by his
agents, horrors at which the civilized world
stood aghast, is dissa tisfed because the war did
not last year longer, that he might have used
the persuasive agencies of the torch rope ,pilage
and murder upon portions of the South still
unvisited.
This infamous attack upon the character OF
General Grant, also comprises all who served
under him, and is one of the foulest sIanders ever
uttered against American soldiers. Notwith-
standing this is the language of leading Demo-
cratic journals, and undoubtedly represents the
spirit of the party as manifested during and
since the war, there are persons in it who ex-
pect to hoodwink soldiers with professed friend.

cB"In 1860 Oregon elected Baker, ,Republi-
can and Nesmith, Union Democrat to the
Senate; But Nesmilh gradually relapsed into
the embrace of the old Democracy, and now
votes just as jeff Davis would vote ifhe were a
Senator. The recent electionin Oregon involved
the issue of Nesmith's reelection, and the Re-
publicans have carried both branches of the
Legislature, thus giving him notice to retire. A
true Union man will take his place on the 4th
of March next. Well done for Oregon. Penn
sylvania will render the same condemnation OF
the apostate Cowan in October next, and elect
a loyal man to succeed him.

GB-The most bitter opponents of an error arc
those who know the most about it. Before,du-
ring and since the rebellion Southern Unionists
have not for one momcnt been deceived by the
subterfugcs of the rebels at home or their allies
in the North. At recent meeting in Shelby
county Misso uri, it was resolved that any pol
icy that is warmly supported by every rebel,
Copperhead, and guerilla in the land, is not the
policy for Union men," That resolution ought
to be reafirmed by every Union convention in
the United States.

The GAINESVILLE (Ohio) Courier says it
once heard General W. T. Sherman explain
how it happened he never voted but once
for President:
~I'll tell you why" said the General, q
never voted but once, and then disfran-
chised myself"
Such looks of wonder and incredulity as
this produced may be imagined, but the
General paying no attention thereto, pro
ceeded.

in my life, and that was for Buchanan, and
] am since satisfied that any person who
was ID fool enough to do that, has not
sense enough to exercise the elective fran
chise diSfranchised myself, and conse-
quently shall not vote"

Col. Forney has published long edito-
rial letter to the President, giving him
leave to print all and any of his private
letters written to him since the assassina-
tion of Mr.. Lincoln. He speaks in very
sharp and sarcastic terms of the Presldent's 5
cousse in giving out such letters for pub
lication, and says it is consistent with his
betrayal of the party which placed him in
the Presidential chair. The letter closes
with word to the President in reference
to his personal affairs, and hints that It may
be necessary to tell full story of the dis
graceful scenes of Inauguration day.

fifty cents costs. The Judge, not being

to take it out in the same manner. Ac-
