NINTH JUDICIAL DISTRICT.
WANTED-A NAME,

They have several appointments in Maine,
and are TO speak in the fremont Temple, Bos-
ton. ....... .#r' ..'.
1t is indeed difficult to decide, what
we are to call the new party got up at
Philadelphia. TO call it the johnson
Party is well enough; but that looks
little too much like the one-man pow
er, and is sighting the great Democrat
ic names engaged in its behalf. We
might say democratic Party" for
that's what it is in fact, the old pro-
slavery loco-foco-ism revived; but the
Republican Doolittle renegades are
loath to own up to that title just yet. If
VIC say Conservatives" we include
but one Of the great elements in the
conglomeration; and If we say "Cop-
perheads," neither does that exactly
fit the Southern or rattlesnake element.
The present Johnson movement is at
the North a combination of Copper
heads and Conservatives $50 called y
and it is best designated by combine
ton of the terms. CoP-sERvATIvE,
that Is the word. When our jacka-
nape spelled the word Conservative by
mistake with the II heightened down
into Il p, he hit the thing completely
he was more witty and wise than he
meant to be. Conservative means
more than Conservative and less than
Coppcrhead; it is union of the two
ideas.
A Conservative is one, who though
not perhaps a full blooded Copperhead
in the time of it himself, yet is n seru-
or of Copperheads: and no one thus
scrciAg the purposes of Copperheadism
can complain at being called Cop&crv-
alive. Surely, all the Conservatism so
rampant now, devoted to serving and
conserving the late rebellion and its
coppery friends, is nothing but pure Cop
scrvatism.
Our compliments, therefore, to john
sons CONSERVATIVE PARTY!

drunken downfall and like the filial
Shem, at the similar fall of Noah, We
walked backward to cover as with q
mantle his shame. Likewise, the
later exhibitions of his vulgarity, and
egotism, and self-will, and stupidity,
we handled gently, hoping for reform.

But in despite of all forbearance, he
has broken fully away from all good in
flucnces, that might have kept him
still tolerable if not q superior Presi-
dent; rendering all further attempt to
smooth over or conceal his follies USE
less If not wrongful work. His final
remuneration of all Republican sympa-
thy, by his Philadelphia movement, as
the self-assuming leader of the whole
Conservative host, this has cut the cord,
and exhonerated us from all political
allegiance. We feel now fully at liber-
ty, and in duty bound, to show up An
dy johnson in his true light, as one of
the smallest, meanest, most incompe-
tent, and least reputable men, that ever,
by accidental Providence, assumed the
government over a great people. This
is great deal to say, we know; and we
would not say it, were we not fully sure,
that the facts in superabundance are
before AS, wherewith to demonstrate it
at our leisure, to the conviction of all.
BE this the work Of these weeks to come.
For such a leader, shall the glorious
cause be forsaken, and the
work of our soldier heroes be trodden
under-foot? Not by decent Americans,
not by intelligent patriots no, NOT BY
Us. NEVER!

,Sarc your .Stock.-We wish to call
the attention of our readers to the
necessity of keeping stock in good
condition, as the best preventive
Of disease. And we wish to speak
more particularly about Sloan's I'm
proved Condition Powders, the
great standard Horse and Cattle medi-
cine of this country. We feel perfect
ly safe in saying, that if Sloan's Con-
ditiOn Powders had been known and
used in England where the cattle
plague has recently held it's carnival
there would not have been One-tenth
part the fatality that there has already
been. 1t is we'll known fact that
Sloan's Condition Powders have always
given entire satisfaction to farmers and
stock raisers, which no other poepara-
ton can do or claims to do. No farm
or should be put off with a substitute,
but insist on getting the genuine
Sloan's Powders, which are known and
reliable. We say to all, buy and use
Sloan's Condition Powders, and you
will always have sound and healthy
stock.-,Sparta Eagle, WIS, June 9th,

TIE ISSUES MET,

Among the loyal millions who have
been united in the Republican ranks
If any one is tempted now to leave ant
join the new Conservative Confedera
cy, the question naturally arises, wha
can be the inducement for such ,
change? What new and better thing
do Messrs. Johnson, Stephens, & Co
offer, as an improvement on the goot
old Republican way, that you or
should deem it best to forsake the par
ty we have acted with, and go Will
them?
If there is any great gain or advan
tage in Johnson Democracy over Re
publican Unionism, it must be either
in regard to its principles or its leader.
Is the new Conservative Platform bet
ter than the Republican? and is tho
new Conservative Leader, Andy john
son, great and q good man, entitled to
universal support? These are the two
Fundamental questions of the present
campaign. Let us discuss them fully,
We will try from week to week to
present these points in their different
lights, without passion, but with fair
ness and sound sense. And we invite
any who may differ with us, to express
their views briefly and kindly through
our columns. We believe in free dis.
cussioR and we are willing to argue
the great political questions now at is.
sue, in Il gentlemanly way, with any
who may choose to offer their views
Gentlemen, the door is wide open; lei
us look things in the face; let US can
didly examine the facts, and each one
yield to the Right. "
This week we offer only few words,
to indicate the line of argument suita-
BILE to the case. What are the merits OF
our enemies Platform? what the mer-
its of their leader, Johnson?
]. As to the Conservative Platform,
that has had its latest development
Development is whispered by our imp
at the Philadelphia Convention. Con-
corning this We propose to show, that
ais there is good in it was already more
fully set forth in the Republican Plat
form, and in much more practical and
efficient form, the only form for actual
ly securing the good results. So that,
rather than put up with the borrowed
capital of Johnsonism, we would better
stay on our old Union basis, where we
have the whole truth original and UNI
Diluted. But while much in the Phil
adelphia Platform is thus harmless, be-
ing eur own doctrine, only weakened
down, there is part which under q
specisls euise is deceptive and ruinous,
as we propose to show.
9. AS to the Cooperative leader,
Johnson, it is time for the truth to be
fully told, concerning his weakness.
his want of ability, his vanity, his un-
reliability, his inconsistency, his utter
