TurDie,s Record.

Turpie says WE have crushed the REBEL
ion; WE have saved the nation; such utter
ances from lips polluted with the utterance
OF the most savage denunciations of the
war, as unconstitutional, unholy useless
unsuccessful; from lips that said at Calu-
met two years ago, speaking of the draft
law, by which men were put into the field
to crnsh the rebellion: 'Iwould have had
my arm torn from my shoulder, before !
would have voted for such law" Such
differences, from such lips, are decidedly
cool and exhibit fine development OF
what a celebrated author calls CHEEK
Does Mr.. Turpie suppose that the peo-
pie have forgotten that he endorsed and
defended the Chicago platform that declar-
ed the war a failure: Does he think that
they have forgotten that he affirmed that
after four years of war nothing had been
accomplished towards putting down the
rebellion? No, Mr.. Turpie, they do not
forget that in opposing Mr.. Lincoln, in his
efforts to crush the rebellion, you commit
ted crime that win send your dishonored
name down to future generations festooned
with infamy and blackened with shame.
You committed no overt act. but your
sympathy with the enemies of your coun-
try in the dark days of 1868 anil Gf. had
all the elements Of treason in il, save the
courage to peril your precious carcass in
their behalf You staid in Monticello to
shave the poor, to grind the needy to the
earth, to add to your bloated wealth: but
as years increase you will feel the scorn
of a nation saved in spite of you, in
spite of your appeals in 1864 to the
avarice Of the people against the tax, to
their cOwardice against the draft, to their
prejudice against the negro. Aye, the peo-
pie were more noble than you dreamed:
they heard the voice of their country ask
ing their aid and they voted that the war
go on, until treason was crushed and trait
Ois put down.
Then you failed in your camor for a ces-
sation OF hostilities. Lincoln and Colfax,
those noble patriots, were reelected, and
treason crushed. Now you come again.
Your cO-labOrer and fellow Democrat. ].
Wilkes Booth, sent bullet through the
brain of good Lincoln and made Andrew
johnson President; doubtless you and your
rebel allies of the South knew your man.
when that assassination was planned. The
rebels who had been crushed by Lincoln
were galvanized into life again by the
Policy of Johnson, which you now sup
port; policy" in the interest of rebels
And as you sympathized with rebels thro'
the war, we are not surprised to find you
acting as their advocate now; then it was
unconstitutional to make war upon them,
now it is unconstitutional to keep them
from taking the government of the nation
into their hands as joint partners with you
and your fellow Copperheads of the North.
We are prepared to hear you appeal to our
love of money, to our pride of race, to our
prejudice against the negro, to induce us
to favor rebels; but, sir, much as we of the
Ninth Congressional District love money,
we love justice more; much as we hate ne
gro equality, we hate rebel equality more:

Changed His Tune.

Two years ago, when the storm-cloud of
war overspread the land, Turpie, better
known as dirty Dave" in his incendiary
harangues throughout this District, was
loud in his denunciations of the 'boys in
blue" and of his determination, if elected,
of not voting another imam or another dol
lar for the prosecution of the war. Hap
PLY for the country. however, he was not
elected. Now. when the storm is past.
and those of our brave defenders who
survived the showers of lcaden hail have
returned TO their homes, he suddenly
changes his tactics for the purpose of secu-
ring a portion of the soldiers vote, and
shouts Justify for the equalization of boun-
ties, and he now. if elected. proposes to
give Ibis last dollar and his last COW" to
secure that end.
We will not insult the soldiers of Lake
by warning them not to be deceived by this
kind of talk the deception is too transpar-
parent not TO he seen at a glance.-Cropn
