A Rebel SANDER.

The Herald says that " in the strong
Democratic counties where defeat is
sure, the Union party puts up soldiers
for slaughter, while in the strong Re-
publican counties soldiers have to look
out for themselves" and refers to the
Fifth District to prove his assertion.
Wayne is the banner county" Of the
Fifth District, and out of the seven
candidates nominated for county off
ces five are wounded soldiers. What
is true of Wayne is doubtless true of
the other counties in the district. ~
This is only one Of the innumerable
lies resorted to by the Copperhead
press to misrepresent the Union party
and prejudice the minds of the sol
diers against their friends, in the
hope to direct their attention from the
reasonable Vaccinations and the re-
cord of their own party It will not
win. The Union soldiers know who
their friends are, and no considerable
number of them will ever be guilty of
acting with party who aided and as
sisted the men who were endeavoring
to take their lives and destroy their
government. -Indidndpois Journal.

A Contrast---Treason and LOYALTY.

| In order to show the great love and
profound regard entertained for the
soldiers of the Union army, the In
dianapolis Journal draws the follow
ing contrast between the public acts,
and the reception by their fellow citil
zens, of two distinguished Democrats.
We commend an attentive reading of
1 it by all sensible men: fi9t 17+a 4"
Previous to, and during the wear
1861, James r. Slack and i. p. Milf
gan, were both residents of the CITY of
Huntington. Each were prominent
members of the Democratic. party.
The war broke out. Col. Slack en-
tered the service, and for four long
years, at the head Of his regiment or
brigade, followed the flag of his
country. He played prominent part
IN many of the most desperate and
sanguinary struggles for the preserya-
ton of the government. He remained
IN n the 4 field with his men. and suffered
all the prlvatlons and hardships incl
dent to the life of soldier: His CON
duct was such as to attract the atten-
ton of the now Lieutenant General
OF the armies of the United
States, who wrote to President
Lincoln that " Colonel James r.
Slack, of the Forty-seventh Indiana
Volunteers, is one Of the most gallant
and efficient officers in the army now
under my command, and cordially
recommend him to you for a promo /
ton to a full Brigadier-GeneraI :"
General Slack remained in the field |
until the last armed traitor had snr-
rendered, and the flag of his country |
hOated triumphantly over every Dor
ton of the United States. when he re-
turned to his home after having earn
ed reputation second to none of the
many distinguished officers who had
entered the service from this State.
The Democratic party took no notice
of his distinguished services. and
made no arrangements to. give him a
reception upon his arrival at Hum
tington. The Mayor and Common
Council were as silent as if they had
been in their graves. Eight months
have elapsed since the General arrived
at his home, and no Democrat has
ever Congratulated him upon his safe
return, his heroic services in the field,
or attempted to get up a demonstra-
ton in his honor.
