MIR. F1NEFRoCK,s RECORD,

Every man, especially every public man,
made record of some kind during the war.
He was known either as decidedly for the GOU-
srnnent, or else his sympathieswer understood
TO be with our enemies.
1r. Finefrock was either one thing or the
other. he certainly was not jealous supporter
of the Government. Everybody understood
that He, therefore, was one of those who SYM
pGthised toiU rebels and traitors. However plain
this proposition may be, we do not stop here.
There is abundant positive testimony of Mr.'F e
open and aUosoed diSloyGlty, while it was yet
doubtful what the result would be.
From the volumes of testimony that might
be produced, wewill site few examples with
cut exaggeration or comment Let simple facts
suffice Facts are what the people want. Plain
and undeniable truths have far more weight
than bitter denunciations or unfounded asser-
tion. Upon thesew we rely.
In conversation in Mr.. Gusdorfs store, du-
ring the war, Mr.. Finefrock declared that the
war for the Union was tyrannical crusade
aeoinst the South and he HOPED EVERY
MAN WHO CARRIED A MUSKET IN THE
UNION ARMY WOULD BE SHOT ON
SOUTHERN SOIL" Mr.. Charles Baldwin,
a well known citizen of Fremont, who had
been for six years clerk in Mr.. g. s store, and
was lifelong democrat, was SO indign nant at
This diabolical language that he would have
then and there visited summary punishment
upon the offender, had not the by-standers in
terfered

GLAD OF 1T.

President johnson makes some remark
able slips in his of-hand speeches. At
Niagara Falls, for instance, he said, refer
ring to his gradual rise from a village Al
derman to the Presidency:
81 have always had an exalted idea of the po-
sition of Senator of great people, but, notwith-
standing was placed upon the ticket for the
Vice Presidency, l am free to say that here to-
day l did not seek the place. But friends of
the country, friends that were personal to me,
were anxious that l should be placed on the
ticket. 1 was placed there; accepted it; the
race was run, the victory was obtained, and
was made Vice-President of the United States.
Cant you see the graduation comes along regu-
larly &? And, then, by the Constitution of the
country, have been made President. I an,
glad Of H."
Considering the circumstances under
which Mr.. johnson came to be President
of the United States, he could not have
made use of more unfortunate expression.

TRAIN AND BLAIR.

George Francis Train and Montgomery Blair
have been stumping New England for johnson.
How they fare is related by a correspondent Of
the Cincinnati Gazette: =
Train gave up in disgust before his appoint
ments were filled. Upon abandoning the field
he met Blair, when the following language took
place:
Train-"We are played out, and 1 have stop
ped"
Blair-"I can't help that; shall make all
my speeches"
Train-'1 tell you, Blair, this thing is played
out, and I've quit"
Blair-"Go ahead, Train; but there is one
place where we are sure to meet again as the
cat and rabbit did-Ot the hdtter's. I'm about Of
your opinion, and think we are pretty sure to
be skinned"
When such egotists lose courage, the true
people of the land may take courage and rejoice.

HOLD THEM TO THEIR RECORD.

The copperheads try to distract the public at
tention from their Record and their real objects
by cries of ''nigger," radical" and other such
clap-trap nonsense. But let US hold up the
truth before them, until they cannot but hate
their own character. Let US remind them that
they are the party of oppression and slavery,
and of fawning sympathy with an arrogant
Southern aristocracy; that they are the party
Of sympathy with treason and traitors, the
sneaking followers of Tylerized president, the
promoters of discord and threateners of civil
war on our own hearthstones, the supporters of
Vallandigham, and the applauders of Henry
Clay Dean, and other democratic slanderers of
our soldiers and the cause in which they suf-
fered and died. These things give the party
character, and let us not allow them to lose the
character they have so richly earned.

SOLDIERS REMEMREn

Who opposed your right to vote while in the
army. In the States of Maine, New Hampshire,
Vermont, Wisconsin, Rhode Island, Connecticut,
New York, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Indiana,
Ohio, New Jersey and Delaware, the democrats
opposed soldiers voting. But the legislatures
of all but the two last were Union, and so passed
laws allowing the soldiers in the field to vote.
In those two States the Union members voted
for it, but the democrats having the majority,
soldiers of Delaware and New Jersey were not
allowed to vote. Democratic members of all
the State Legislatures opposed soldiers voting,
while the Republican Union party were unani-
mously in favor of it and voted for it. Nothing
shows more plainly than this how soldiers have
from the first been thought of by the two par
ties.
We have the documents to prove what we say
about this matter, and anybody who likes can
see them at any time by calling at our Office.

A BREWING REBELLION.

The following gentle suggestion is given
by the famous Mr.. Pollard, editor of the
Richmond Examiner, in his history of the
Confederacy:
"Civil wars, like private quarrels, are likely
to repeat themselves, where the unsuccessful
party has lost the contest only through acci-
dent or inadvertance. The Confederates have
gone out of this war with the proud, secret
deathless, dangerous consciousness that they
are the better men, and that there was nothing
wanted but change in set of circumstances
and fercer resolve to make them victors."
Of course the rebels are now watching
favorable opportunity to clutch the throat
of the Republic, and the signs of the times
indicate that they will soon make the eff
fort, if not rebuked by the North.

PRESIDENTIAL LOGIC.

"a. j." says Congress is "an unlawful body
hanging upon the verge of the Government and
assuming to be Congress, when, in fact, it is a
Congress of only part of the States. But ii
has been "a Congress of only part of the States, "
during the entire rebellion. lifts acts that
count are illegal, then they were illegal during
the war, and the country is left really where If
was at the beginning of the contest with slave
ry intact, but without either Congress, Presi-
dent, or in fact any government at all; for the
Southern States had no voice in its institution
as at present organized. Into such absurdities
does the Presidential reasoning lead US.

THE pHILADELpHIA CONVENTION.


The Convention of Southern loyalists which
met in Philadelphia, on the Sd inst, was in all
respects among the greatest and most impor-
tant political meetings that ever assembled in
the United States; in numbers, in talent, in
character and in love of country, has proba-
bly, never been excelled. Fifteen Governors
and ex-Governors were present, and four others
from the Pacific States sent their greetings
Ninety thousand people were in attendance
upon the Convention. There was free discuss
ion, and in this it differed from the late Con-
vention in that city, in which no debate was al
lowed.
The utmost harmony and enthusiasm pre-
vailed throughout
The meeting will do vast deal of good
The discussion and resolutions show TO the
world just what the real Union men of the
South want and how they feel.

His Excellency, Andrew johnson, President
by the grace of-Booth, in his recent speech at
Lockport, New York, astonished the people by
telling them that he had held call offices from
Alderman to President. Who could
do more?" He also assured them that he was
@the humble individual who addresses you. "
He likewise proposed to "leave the constitution
and the Union in the hands of the people" p
for which the Lord be praised. We call atten-
ton to these expressions not only because they
are strikingly fresh, but because they are thor
oughly original. We might add that he alluded
to his sacrifices for the Union" means
that he has constantly held fat Offices for which
he has been literally paid by the people.

TUE UNrIMELY END OF LIE.

.ls THE UNTIMELH END OF A LIE.
In late number of Finefrock's paper it was
charged that Gen. Buckland once said that "all
foreigners ought to be banished and gallows
erected at every seaport to hang them as fast as
they landed" The Messenger went on to de-
clare that it was authorized to name a witness,
if desired, TO testify to the truth of its assur-
ton. OF course its absurdity prevented any body
believing the stsry. STILL we denied it, and
called for the proof. Last week Mr.. Finefrock,
(or whoever it was originated the ie,) came
out with the name of Mr.. GEORGE GRKINER as
his witness. Mr.. G. has always been demo-
crat, but we didn't believe he was a man who
would allow his name to be used by Finefrock
in this way against an honorable man and a
brave soldier like Gen. Buckland We there
fore Investigated the matter, and the result is,
we are authorized to state for Mr.. Greiner that
he never gave any person authority for using
his name to prove the statement in question;
that he never told any person that he had heard
Gen. B. use such language and finally that he
NEVER HAD HEARD HIM SAY ANY
THING OFlTHE KIND of course Mr.. G,
feels Justly indignant that he, an honest and
peacable citizen who always minds his own
business should have his name thus dragged
before the public to prove falsehood.
This lie is pretty thoroughly nailed. But it
is only specimen of'th wholesale, outrageous,
absurd falshoods with which Mr.. Finefrock's
paper is filed, and which he and his friends are
circulating through the District. The paper
and the party which originated that lie will
not hesitate at anything. They depend on ly-
ing; they don't THINE of telling the truth; they
know, in fact, that they are not expected to-
They set on the principle that they must lie a
great deal to be 6elieUed very little But there
is a limit to all things-especially to the gen.
eral credibility of inveterate liars. These fell
lows Overdo the matter. They have lied till
their most stunning fabricstions has ceased to
be even interestingl

THE PLOT IA NUT SHELL.

Pollard, of the Richmond Erdminer,
is much given to impudent talking and
"telling tales out of school," He blabbed
what was meant to have been kept secret
when, writing from the Philadelphia Con
vention to his paper, he said:
Shoulder to shoulder with Northern Con-
servatism, let US first fight for position, and
when that is gained all other desirable things
will be added unto us. Let as get controlling
Uoics in the goaernme,d, and then zoe haze but to
Gst and rcceire.
There is the whole programme in a nut
shell.

From nearly every part of the county ard
district we have the most cheering accounts
from the Union army. Let our friends in the
weaker localities stand up for the right boldly,
and carry the war into the enemy's camp. This
is the way to ensure success. And in the de-
cidedly Union localities, thorough organisation
is the one great indispensable. This must be
attended to everywhere. The result will aston-
ish our most sanguine friends who are not post
ed as to the real condition of the canvass. But
we must haze every Union Voter out! You know
what is necessary to this end.

A contemporary recalls, in connection with
the question of the day, the following remark
able passage by Mr. Lincoln: "And there will
be some black men who can remember that,
with silent tongue and clenched teeth and
steady eye and well poised bayonet they have
helped mankind on to this great consumation;
while fear there will be some white ones un-
able to forget that with malignant heart and
deceitful speech they have striven to hinder it.
