But, in the four years Of war, these
slandcrers and liars failed toprevent
the formation Of immense union ar

mics BY encouraging assertions and
they failed therefore to see the rebel

not the small pleasure OF graspng

Welcome to our ranks, chief OF the

Good God, are there any now SO
short Of memory as to have forgot
ten these things-so stupid rs not to
understand these men OF late trea-
sonable thought, intent and practice
and their present harmony with

Look upon the nen in every town
that sneaked away to Canada and to
the golden hills OF Colorado, in view
Of serving their country according
to the notions Of Doolittle's new
partners in the Johnson policy of re
storing the rebel states
Some Of those Ascending ones
have not yet returned to meet the
Doolittle Brigade and who pcrsuad-

the hour Of its DANCER
These men OF treachery during a
bloody war, finding their party q
failure for breaking up the union and
constitution, nave now dissolved the
old democratic party and have gone
in with Doolittles' party, which they
suppose has the power under John
son to transfer the government and
constitution into the hands Of its en-
emie-, the rebels and copperneads.
That's the whole OF it.
There is short work at Madison
with the fifteen renegade union men
and army officers present at the
Doolittlc Bread and Butter Copvcn-
ton.
Coppcrheads and unionists alike
look upon them as Milton looksd up
on the fallen angels-with pity, sor-
row and contempt, and as sold to the
devil Il full value.

Satan appeared in Paradise in the
form Of a serpent, and had the be-

knowledge Of good and evil was re-
tailed By the yard, and at another
the apple Of discord by the bushcl.
And the bibo account Of Satan and
some mountain lands he held under

/ Savior as a condition of his prostitu-
ton to the satanic Johnson yoke, is
familiar to all who read the HERALD.
These sayings and doings are re

those who accept them.
