WHO ARE TIE TRAITORS Now -
During the whole period Of AIr Lincolu's
administration, the epithct ." You're q
Traitor was on the lips of a class Of
blackguaTd, low w-bred Republicans. They
applied it to every Democrat who did 10.

and dreamed, was entirely right and prop

particular He was - the government"
they said, and the man who didn't sup
port the government through thick and
thin was q traitor, according 10 their
way Of thinking. and deserved hanging d.
the first lamp-post.
Now then what was sauce for The goose
ought to be sauce for the gandcr. Il AIr
Lincoln was the Government then surely
Andraw Johnson Is the Government uyw
and Should be sustained by every iaE.
citizen. Nr. johnson Is trying to Restore
and reconstruct the Union on Cous...4-
tional basis, and it Is the duty Of every
man, who has at heart the interests OF tie
country, to stand by him and hold up lis
hands in the great worl, before him. II

C,Ns-sTENT IN DIsUNIoE.-In Congress
on the 81 day of March, 1862, Mr. Hol-
man, of Indiana, Ocmocrat,) offered the
following resolution:
Resolced, That in the Judgment of this
House, tie unfortunate civil War into
which the Government of the United
States has been forced by the reasonable
attempt of the Southern Secessionists to
destroy the Union, should not be prosecu-
ted for any other purpose than the resto-
ration Of the authority Of the Constitution
and that the welfare of the whole people
Of the United States is permanently in
volved in maintaining the present form Of
government under the Constitution with
out modification Or change.
The disunionists defeated this resolution
by vote of GO to 50. Every Democrat
voted for the resolution. Thaddeus Ste
vens and Mr.. Speaker Grow, by this bold
act avowed their deliberate intention as
early as 1862, to carry out their radical
and revolutionary programme of djsunion.
Did not President johnson speak truth
fully when he said they were disunionists
TIE GOOD Work Co5nIENCED.-The
Marshal of the Western District, the
Postmaster at Pittsburgh and Harrisburg,
being rank disunionist, have been removed
by President johnson, and patriotic
Union-loying citizens appointed to fill their
places, 1t is hoped and believed that the
President viii continue to WELD the axe
until every disunionist is removed from
Office.

AGAINsr TIE UNIoE AND FOR THE NJ
GRO. Tie dis Union majority in Con-
gress, are true to their antecedcnts
When we were united and happy peo
tie, blessed with peace, prosperity and
;.u;ty, they and their associates attacked
tie Union OF the States, and ihe Consti-
tution Of our fathers the one was de-
nounced, the other vilifed. Concord,
aiuity and forJearancc, the silver cords
that bound our people in a common dcs-
Tiny, were rudcly sundcred, and i'll their
stead came career OF hate, vituperation
and bIoodshed; love for the Negro prompt
ed It's inception, anxiety for his freedom
nerved them in their progress, and desire
for his social elevation reused them to re-
ucwed eXertion. As the peculiar friends
Of the Negro they nuliifed the plain pro-
visions Of the organic law, and violated
laws enacted under It's requirements As
his Jealous advocates, they now violate
the eieneutatry principles OF the Cousti-
tu,ion, aal refuse representation to peo-
pie who are tyge 10 the laws and faithful
to the government. They were against
the Union al the beginning, and they are
bu; consistent in opposing it now. They
are for the Negro and against the poor
white man, and their policy of to-day is
hut the reflex of their sentiments in the
past. Their true ralIying cry is " Up
with the Negro and down with the Union
They are dis-Unionists in thought, dis
t-nionis.s in word, and dis-Uniouists in

THE DIsuNoHIsrs REFUSE TO VOTE
HE GErrYsEuRG HEROES 4 MEDAL
In the Senate Of Pennsylvania, on the Sth
Of April 1864, Senator Lamberton, a
Democrat, offered the following resolu-

who wrought for this Commonwealth

the sanguinary and victorious field Of
Gettysburg"
Senator Johnson, disunionist, moved to
amend by directing the committee to IN
pure into the crpediency Of doing 50. The
Democrats voted against amending the
resolution and the disuuionists for it. The
committee did not coas,lei. 1t e15oeeleat and

A REVERSED RUFFIAN.-When cler-
@yman turns politician, he is like a Welsh
river after a flood the greatest eXempG-
fcation of this we know Of is that vile
rogue and ruflian Parson Brownlow, OF
Tennessee. And yet the shameless rene
gade and demagogue, has the audacity TO
speak Of President johnson as being ga
double dealer" But the Louisville JOiauGi
comes to the rescue and fairly takes the
rhinocerous skin, thick as it IS, from the
bones of the Tennessee rufIian. 1t says
truly that 10 other State was so afflicted
and disgraced and cursed with such an
unmtigated and unmitigable, such an un-
redeemed and irrcdeemable blackguard as
her Chief Magistrate. lie is q parody, a
caricature, a broad burlesque on all pos
sible governors. They say there is a fire
in him, but it is hell fire, every particle of
If. Though he is but q single swine,
there are as many devils in him as there
were in the whole herd that ''ran violently
down steep place into the sea" His
heart is nothing but a missing knot Of vi
pers, rattlesnukes, cobra and cotton
moths He never argued a question in his
life, approaching no subject but with
fierce, bitter, coarse, low and vulgar OBJ
iurgations His tongue should be bored
through and through with his own steel
pen, heated red hot.
This man, as we have said, calls him
self clergyman. He breaches, prays
and exhorts, draws down his face, drops
the corners of his mouth, and undertakes
to look sanctimonious. And yet he seems
always trying in his pulpit discourses to
see under how thin a disguise he can ven
turc TO curse, and swear, and blaspheme
He can't offer up prayer in the house of
God without telling the Lord what an in
fernal scoundrel, damned thief, or cursed
vagabond, this, that or the other neighbor
is. From his youth up TO his old age he
has had no personal controversies without
attacking the wives, fathers, mothers,
grandfathers, grandmothers, brothers, sis
ters, children, uncles, aunts and nephews
Of his opponents.

Yesterday, by invitation Of Messrs Creeyy

The company were shown through the vessel
and connoisseurs in naval architecture and gentle
men experienced in steam navigation, pronounced
the noble ship and her equipments to be models
for strength, speed, security and comfort. She is
new propeller, Of twelve hundred tons register,
and is owned by the Philadelphia and Southern
Mail Steamship Company, in which many Of our
resident merchants are stockholders She is the
pioneer of line of steamers, which will ply
regularly between this port and Philadelphia.
She has luxurious accommodations for sixty pas

On her trip hither she proved remarkably fast

The Following from DC RepubIlcan Banner IS aa

The following from the Republican Banner is as
applicable to New Orleans as it is to Nashville:
Adweler in Edgefeld or Nashville, who in some
unhappy moment gives up his present dwelIngy
in the expectation of finding another to suit him
better, is like the dog in the fable who dropped
the substance to grasp at the shadow. Once, in
Punch, appeared picture of a fat man and his
fat wife on hunt for houses, while all the houses
were on slender legs running away before the per-
spring couple. House hunting has become as
arduous as fox hunting. Fortunate is the con-
science of man who don't own houses for other
people to hire or buy; because he is under no
temptation to ruin his soul by asking three times
the value of a roof to shelter poor mans head.
In view Of existing facts, therefore, we hereby
announce that we are about to form a company
of respectable and healthy families in this city,
who will agree to camp out in the streets during
the coming winter-to defy landlords and conquer
high rents Ii Ifnobody else will build houses, sup
pose the corporate authorities constitute them
selves a.house building company raise the capital
by gentle tax on the owners of highrenting real
estate, ana supply the demands of our growing
population.

behaved well there, is sure to command respect
