Who are the Loyal Representative
from the SOIIfh2


There are not five men elected from the
ten unrepresented States who can take the
oath of office without committing perjury.
1t is time enough to think of admitting
the rebel States to q participat lion in the
Government when they send up the loyal
men to Washington to represent them
We advise our republican friends, as often
as the Copperheads ask them the question,
why don't you admit good loyal repre-
sentatives from the South ?'' to reply 1--WE
will wait until the rebels send good loyal
men to represent them.-They have not
done so yet.
Look at the kind of ''loyal men" the re-
constructed repels have elected to repre-
sent them in Congress. From

men, whom johnson and the Copperheads

Congress! The country is threatened with
renewal of civil war unless the doors of
the Capitol are opened for the admission
of those whitewashed traitors and rebels,
including the Fice-Iresideht of the late
Corfederacy. 1t was for the purpose of
forcing this beautiful gang into the Ma
tional Legislature that the Philadelphia
Convention was sconvened.-L Marion Inde=g

THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY.
The evening Argus. [volume] (Rock Island, Ill.) 1861-1871, 1866-01-12
ARE THEY AFRAID!

The position of the two republican news
papers in this county is pitabls one. They
seem to be afraid to either support or oppose
the administration. Our opinion is. from
what we have seen in their columns, that
they are opposed to the policy of the presi-
dent, but have not the courage to avow any
distinct opinions. They do not even eplight-
en- their readers as to the great question at
issue. We have published Thad. Stevens g
speech against the presidents policy, and
Senator Cowan's speech in favor of the presi.
dents policy. Both these gentlemen are re-
publicans both are from the same state ;
and both are talented leaders and very influ
entail men in their party. We have thus
given our readers chance to see both sides
of this question, as viewed by the two wings
of the republican party. The republican pa
pers in this county have done nothing of the
sort. They pay very poor mpliment to
the intelligence of their readers.
Are they afraid to avow their opinions.
Or are they destitute of opinions?
The evening Argus. [volume] (Rock Island, Ill.) 1861-1871, 1866-01-12

Though we can see no practical Importance
in the questions of the Moline Republican,
we have no sort of objections to answering
them:

I'd. We are opposed. also, to attempting to

Is the Republican answered? 1t so. Will
it please answer tho following ;quesuonE-
Are you iu favor of or opposed to the re-
construction policy of Andrew johnson?
The question admits of straight forward
answer, without lodging or equivocation.
