ADVANCE ALONG THE LIN


The enemies of the Republican party are
persistent in their endeavOrs to create a pan
ic among its followers. We have onOne side
the President of the United States and his
Cabinet, using all the resources of the more
than imperial power with which we clothe
the Executive Office On the other we have
the vast Copperhead Notwithstanding
the war powerful minority in every North
ern State-occasionally having the majority,
rs in New York when llOratiO Seymour was
made Governor. Then in alliance we find
the majority Of the Southern Rebels mot the
Southern people, for four millions of these
people have been condemned by Presiden-
tial policy TO electoral silence) who, defeated
in their armed attempts to destroy the Gov
ernment, now propose to destroy the party
which made the Government VICTORIOUS. II
is natural that the COpperheAds and Rebels
should compose this alliance. They are our
antagonists by that law of their nature which
led one clement 10 become towards and
bounty-jumpers, and the other traitors to
the flag. But it isnot natural that the Presi-
dent and his Cabinet should he in sympathy
with this alliance. The Republican party
gave them their power and ii was not too
much to expect certain degree OF respect
and sympathy, il not allegiance. That is
past, however. The President has gone his
way, and is as much our enemy as though
he had been elected by the friends of Nc
Clullan and not by those of Lincoln.
The Albany E0ening J0araal suggests an
carly convention, and seems to dread the
effect of the Philadelphia affair, fearing that
the position of the Administration, as ii will
be developed during the progress of the
campaign, will in some way effect the can
vass. We see no cause for dread. The Union
party was never more earnest and sincere.
| 1t has hut one course. Let it stand upon the
sentiment of impartial suffrage, and advance
along the line. Nor can we compromise
with the question without danger. We have
had year of President johnson, and TWEEN
ty attempts at compromise. What goodg--
/ Every concession we have made has only
weakened us and strengthed the Pesidenl' s
party. The Republicans, who believed in
the Presidential policy, have received moth.
ing but contumely from his followers and
distrust from the Union party. Take the
case OF Mr.. Stanton. No Copperhead likes
him, no Union man trusts him, lie has
stood by the President warmly-executing
his wishes-yielding his opinions to "ad-
verse arguments on the question of suf
irage-and now permits himself to be drag
ged by Randall and Niblack TO a Copperhead
Convention. But Secretary Stanton has
not indorsed the Conventional That is why
the Copperheads dislike him-and it is he

lieRn can hold with any regard to his self

sourmERN Loyalty.

The National IntelAgencer, an organ of
the Copper-j johnson party, in speaking of
the Southern Loyalists' Convention, says
at is called TO assemble in Philadelphia
because there as no place in dRg Southern State
'ohere such COneentioR aoOald be tolerated. -
Here is an evidence of the spirit that ami
mates the people whom Andy johnson
would restore TO all the rights of citizen
ship. The loyal men dare not hold Con-
gentiOn in The South to capress their dcro-
tioa 10 tie cause Of the Union, This testi-
mony comes from paper which is the mouth
piece of the Executive, and we have no
doubt, speaks by authority on the subject.
President johnson and his followers are re-
sponsible for this condition of things The
Southern traitors have taken courage by his
leniency towards them and his apostacy from
the principles upon which he was elected,
and although subdued by our arms are as
defiant and reasonable as they ever were.
The loyal people have cause to be thankful
that we have Congress, composed of men
who appreciate the inestimable blessings of
liberty, else the blood and treasure which
has been expended TO preserve the Union of
the States, would have been worse than
wasted. We trust that the peoples repre-
sentatives will remain firm, us it is our
only hope for the life and honor of the
nation.

THE KIND OF MEN HE nnmovEs

The President has removed Col W. b.
Thomas, Collector of Philadelphia, and ap-
pointed in his place William f. Johnston,
trading politician, who has been hunting
office all his life. Col. w. b. Thomas was
one of the founders of the Republican party
in the State and City OF Penn, and has al
ways been an ardent anti.Slavery man.
While Collector he raised several regiments
for the United States service, one of which
he commanded. His latest distinguishing
act was making good loss by deialcaton of
$4,000, committed by relative, while he
was serving his eouptry in the army. His
integrity is tried and unquestioned. johnson
declared on assuming the office of President,
that in making appointments preference
should be given to soldiers, but he has
proved as false to this promise, as he is
recreant to the principles of the party that
elected him to official station.

GENERAL SHERMAN's VoTE.--It will be
remembered that Governor Oglesby, of Hi
nois, at the meeting at Salem, in Egypt, !"
on the 4th instant, called General Sherman
n Democrat; to which the general replied
promptly: 81 never was II Democrat; never
voted hut once in my liie" The Zanesyille
(Ohio) Courier tells this story of the general
While on the grand march to the sea, a fel-
low-oilicer one evening asked him for whom
he was going to vote. The general replied
that he should not vote; he had voted but
once, and then he dsfranchiscl himself
Such looks of wonder and incredulity as this
produced may be imagined, but the general,
paying no attention thereto, proceeded: "
never voted for IL President but once in my
life, and that was ior Buchanan; and am
since satisfied that any person who was -
fool enough to do that has not sense enough

THE CHILD MURDER.-SOme time since
we published an account of preacher at
Medina, N. Y, who whipped his child to
death, in the attempt to "break its will. :"
lady, writing from Medina to her sou in
Goshen, draws the following graphic picture
OF the horrible airocty:
'Nou know Joel Lindsey, | believe; well,
Il week ago last Monday night he whipped
his little boy to death, because he would not
say his prayers. lie was little child be-
tween three and four years old; his mother
died near three years ago, and Joel married
Frank Mobiles last spring. l think you
know her folks, they lived out west of Fer
bys. She went up stairs to put the little
fellow 10 bed and he refused to say his
prayers, so she whipped him some, and
went down and Joel went up, and whipped
him two hours and half, then carried him
down and told his wife he wished she would
get up, for johnny acted very strange,
and he didn't know what was the matter
with him; WELL he died right away. Gil.
bert's wife went over and laid the little one
out, Gilbert went TO Millville next forenoon,
and told that JOel's child was dead and he
did not know what killed the child, but that
Joel had been correcting it, The neighbors
went in, and thought they acted strange
Wednesday morning he was to be buried
lnthe morning, when they were all ready,
TO their great surprise the coroner made his
appearance, to hold an inquest over the body.
lie had a jury of fifteen men They were
six hours making the examination. They
say they never saw such sight before, and
asked Joel what he whipped the child with.
lie said shingle, sometimes with the fiat
side and then with the edge; but, oh, such
sghtl his little fingers were all in strings,
the nails gone, and the bones broken, his
his legs all a Jelly and the bottom of his
feet blislered and pieces of flesh gone out
of them, his shoulders and neck, and sides
OF his head all black They looked around
and found tub full of bloody clothes
to soak; and the verdict was murder"

Hon. c. L. Valandigham Hon. ]. d.
Bright and Hon. C. j. Faulkner passed
through this city last evening, en- route to
Washington for an interview with the Presi-

says that one of the objects Of their mission
is to recommend the appointment OF Hon. J +.
b. Weller, formerly Governor of Ohio, now
Of California, as Secretary of War, in view
of the anticipated retirement of Secretary
Stanton.
We should think that Recommendation
would be very potent. The first two OF this
trio were branded as favoring treason-the
first by exile and the second by expulsion
from the Senate-and the last one was a
Virginia rebel. If Secretary Stanton has 10
leave the cabinet. it would certainly be very
appropriate for such men to name his sue
