aANOTHER WARP

The La Crosse Democrat, "Brick Pomeroy' s.
paper, puts at the head of its columns this
threatening motto: Equality of States in the
Union, OR ANOTHER WAR;" By which he
means, unless the loyal North consents to the
immediate and unconditional admission Of
Rebels to Congress, said rebels, assisted by the
democratic party North, viii inaugurate anoth-
errebellion. This is the spirit of the party
which is now trying to- get control of the Gov
ernment. T. P. FINEFRocK is one of Brick
Pomeroy's disciples and reader of his infa-
nous sheet. He asks the electors of the Ninth
District to vote for him and thus assist in carry
ing out the traitorous schemes of his dark Lam
tern clique!

The aspect of the canvass in Pennsylvania
is most encouraging. Recent events have pow
erfully contributed TO unite Republicans of va
rious shades of opinion, in a common purpose.
No reasonable doubt remains of the election OF
Gen. Geary by majority of thirty thousand.
1t is reduced almost to an absolute certainty
that the Republicans will lose none of the Con-
gressional districts they carried two years ago;
and fair prospects exist for their carrying one
or two districts that they lost then. A msjor-
ity in each branch of the Legislature may con-
fidently be depended on; SO that the political
complexion of the United States Senator to be
chosen as Mr.. Cowan's successor, would seem
not to admit of debate. The omeus are decid-
ly good. Republicans close up your ranks
and march forward to the grand consumation
Similar accounts come TO US from Illinois, In
diana, and all over Ohio. The copperhcad de-
mocracy will be very much astonished and
chagrined by the result this Fall. The peo-
pie are awakening in their might, to speak
peace to the mad elements that would again
plunge the country into bloodshed and anarchy.

coppERHEADs s NEGRO VOTES.

We have always held that the moment there
was the slightest chance to secure negro suff-
rage and negro votes, the COpperheads
| would forswear their past record and their past
| hostility to them-drink and caucus with them,
| run them on their tickets as constables, kiss
their babies, or do anything the African may
REQUIRE in order 10 secure his vote. And 1t
seems that the mere mention of the granting
negro suffrage in the South, causes favotable
leaning that way by Northern Copperhead
newspapers.
The latest case of the kind we have noticed is
| the Ashland Union. That we may not be ac-
cused of msrepresenting it as pure and uu-
adulterated democratic" Organ-and at the
same remind our readers what pure and unadul-
terated Democracy" was during the rebel
lion-we quote few extracts from its editorials
during that period
In 1861, in response to the call for 15OOO
men, it said
Eight your own battles! We have only to
say to yol, gentlemen, this is not our fight; you
have followed your own councils, and you must
do your own fighting"
Subsequently it denounced Union Soldiers
"Hired Hessians going to the sunny South
ern soil, to butcher by the wholesale, not for
eieners, but good men, as exemplary christians
as any of our men, who believe they are fight
ing for their God-giyen rights.
And again it spoke Of the Union soldiers
saying:
"They are pack of hired scoundrels who
have never been anght to the country but
nuisance"
This is enough 10 establish the character of
the Union. 1t is essentially Democratic. Now,
what does this organ say of negro Suffrage?
Here it is:
'IE when the South is back in Congress, her
representatives shall advocate, and her people
adopt plan of elevating her negro population
to the exercise of the elective franchise when
found capable to vote intelligently, indicated
TO by the Yankee Abolitionists, we are sure
nobody will object in the Democratic party"
That is to say: Just so soon as the Southern
owners of the Democratic party think it best
to extend the right of suffrage to the negroes,
we will not object. All our bluste- against it
now is merely to scare few poor creatures into
voting our ticket. Votes are what we are after
and If we can secure them by shreking NEGRO
suffrage" it will be sharp trick, and when
ever we can get more votes by making negroes
voters, we are going 10 do it, just as we did in
New York and Massachusetts,.
We won't go in for itthough, until our South
ern masters say we may. That is about the
logic and position of the Democratic party on
negro suffrage"

Wherever the cops had any hope at all Of
carrying Congressional District with such a
man, they have made nominations of men
whose anti-war record was clear and unmista-
kable. Is this not sufficient evidence of the
general spirit and animus ofthe party? Louis
Shaffer, the copperhead candidate for Congress
in the 7th District, (who certainly was not
nominated for his ability,) rivals Mr.. Finefrock
in the bitterness of his opposition to the Gov
ernment during the war. Not long ago he gave
out the following:
81 have never voluntarily contributed far
thing, nor even spoke one encouraging word,
mar ever entertained one favorable thought in
favor of either of our two late Abolition rebel
lions, one headed by John Brown and the other
by Abraham Lincoln"

GENERAL WILLICH ON THETwO BOMB
SHELLS.

In his speech, at Evansville, Indiana a few
days ago. the brave old German, General Which,
of Cincinnati said
During 1861, found myself in your midst,
when that direful bombshell, directed by re-
bellious slave aristocracy, exploded in Fort
Sumter. This shell was loaded with four
years war, bloody, as seldom the world has
seem Now another bombshell has been thrown
in the nidst-a bombshell not cast of iron-a
mere word, but word which proves that our
victory has not been conclusive; and which, if
followed up, will lead to a more disastrous ca
tastrophe than the bombshell ofFort Sumter.
This word has been inspired by the evil genius
of our nation, William Seward. 1t is promul-
gated by the embodiment of faithlessness, the
Blairs. 1t is legally justified by that petrifact,
Ewing. Conceived by that serf of Southern
aristocracy, Andrew johnson. This word is,
that our Congress has been an illegal, uncon-
stitutional body that its laws are not binding
for the nation. What means this word if it is
acted upon, as to all appearance it will be? 1t
means the overthrow of the only legal legisla-
tive power of this Republic, by a revolutionary
act of the Executive, united with the armed
traitors and enemies ofour Commonwealth.

THE MESSENGERS ABUSE OF MIR.
LYNCH.

1t is hardly necessary to say, that the insinua-
tion in the Messenger of ingratitude to his Irish
fellow citizens for their support at the spring
election a year ago last April, is SANDER on
Mr.. LYNCH. He has never ignored his country
men; but on the contrary has always found
amongst them his warmest friends, and still
continues to do so. This is right and proper.
No one honors a man for despising his birth
place. Mr.. LYNCH is too well known among
his fellow countrymen to make it possible for
the Messengers slang to prejudice them. They
will scorn with contempt that papers malignant
abuse of a true Irishman as well as loyal
American,

Gibson made good soldier, but he should
not boast of finances just now. Mr.. Breslin

been crying "stop thiefP' When will they
have done with that old slanderi So true a
patriot and honorable man tho copper democ-
racy cannot boast; but because Col. Gibson is

temptible filings of the Satanic press.

SKULKING.

The cops advertise democratic and johnson
meeting at Clyde. They mean Johnson as be
is, not as he aoaS. There not being a johnson
man of this SOFT there, except among the origi-
nal cops, they might about as well have omit
ted that exephoneous name from their bandbills
But the fact is, they are really ashamed of their
own name, and are willing to hide their true
character under almost any assumed cognomen.
But that game wont work. Come of that, old
cop We know you're there!

We asserted that the bill to increase the sal
aries OF Congressman was introduced by Cop
perhead. The Congressional Globe shows the
fact The author of it was Senator Riddle of
Delaware. We also said that the proposition of
Copperbead members of the House who voted
for it. was greater than the proportion of Union
incorporation according to the numerical
strength. The yeas and nays show that ma
iority of the Union members uoted against IL,
while majority of the Democratic members
voting Uotcd for ii. Sixteen Copperheads voted
for, and only seven against. Westate this fact
not because we think the passage Of the act
needs defence, but because the Oopperheads are
misrepresenting the facts for the purpose of
making capital out of it.-DaytOn Journal.

The Bucyrus Journal says that the Crawford
County Delegation at the Copper Congression-

Finefrock was an original Calhoun secessionist

'sMELLING THE BATTLE AFFAIR OFF,,
1t will be recollected that General Chalmers,

thrown aside; let us prepare for the struggle
Soon l expect to hear the struggling shots OF the
skirmishers breaking into the roar of musketry;
and, finally, the deafening boom of the cannon.
Then, where shall Tennessee be 2"
In answer TO this important question, the
Cincinnati Commercial says:
ave have the private opinion that Tennessee
will be Just where she is now-in the Union;
and that if any of her people go into second
rebellion, and draw the sword and shoulder the
musket, because they are promised aid at the
North, as General Chalmers intimates, they will
be deceived in the hour of trial and whipped in
the hour of battle and the second coming of the
"hordes of the North" will be worse than the
first -
