he would be received from the Baltic to the

REID, DEWOCR4Ts, REID Il


a few days ago an old man was overheard
to say that he had voted the Democratic
ticket since the days of Jackson, and he
resolved while he lived never to vote any
other ticket he confessed that the resolve
was not the most wise and judieous but
excused himself on the ground that he had
become welded to the Democratic party in
his tender years he had learned to believe
that. the party could do no wrong, and
though the position of the party during the
war was altogether unpatriotic, yet he con-
sidered himself bound to follow it against
his better judgement, but the late l4th of
August Convention had entirely relieved
him from any further responsibility to that
Party. II he understood the matter, and
he thought he did, that Convention had
submerged the old Democratic party, and
men who never were in any way connected
with the Democratic party were put at the
head of the new organization. How true

THEY GIVE UP CLYMER-

We assertit without the fear of successful
contradiction, says the Ha7Y5sJugh 76Je-
gyoph, that the Copperhead State Central
Committee has secretly, but formally, given
up the election Of Hester Clvmer. Senator
Wallace decidedly the ablest and most saga
cious of all the Copperhcad leaders,, chair
man Of that Committee, has the positive In
formation in his possession, that Clymcr's
defeat is a certainty. No further effort VIII
be wasted cndeavoring to counteract this in
auonce. Wallace is clearly Of the opinion
that tho best thing which the faction he
leads has now any prospect of accomplishing
is the election Of Congressional Representa-
tiyes Clymer' withdraw has been sternly
urged, which he has as rcsolutely resisted
Ia this dilenurr, Wallace and his Commit
tee have determined to abandon Clymcr to
his own fate in TACT, have given him up to
defeat. Henceforth, the whole force Of the
Copperhcads viii be turned on particular
Congressional and Senatorial Districts, in
the hopeof making gains therein But
their prospects il that hope will prove as
barren as in the case Of Clymer.

Mr.. sHANNONs RECORD.
Let Loyal men Read and then conclude
whether they can support him!

1t is reported that Mr.. Shannon is en-
deayoring, and we have no objection to his
endeavoring, to secure the votes Of Repub-
licans to re elect him to the Prothonatory-
ship. Socially, Mr. Shannon is a very clev-
er fellow, but politically he is the veriest
demagogue alive, we have seen him do dirty
work on election days for the purpose of
securing, or rejecting vote that we would
shrink from as from the touch of a lepor.
He was as firm believer in the cause Of the
South as JEFF. Davis, and until the day that
Richmond fell beneath the ponderous blows
of Grant, he contended openly, and secretly,
that the North could not, and should not
overcome the South, and his influence was
directed in such a manner as to make the
national cause odious, and nthis respect he
was in great part responsible for the ill-feel-
ing and antagonistic spirit which prevailed
in this county
With these truths, which cannot be sue
cessfully contradicted, it cannot be possible
that any person whose sympathies were
with the Union cause can now turn in and
support Mr.. Shannon, who was as much a
sympathizer as Jake Thompson or George
n, Sanders, neither of whom took up arms.
But we desire to present Mr.. Shannon 5
record as mado by himsole Mr. Shannon
made speech in the Court House, before
the Bedford Lyceum some time in January
1861, in which he was reported by the IN
QUIRER to have said that he would 60 South
and point his gun at the people of the
North; in a card in the Gqzette, in reply to
this report, Mr. Shannon says
Every person who heard me, the Editor
included, Il don't know who the reporter
was) will bear me out in saying that | didn
say one word about going South, nor of
pointing my gun at the people of the North.

How AMERICANS WoRK.-In an English work
entitled "Three Years among the Working Class
es of the United States" occurs the following
not over aattering picture of Americans 80 ur-
ry up is a phrase in the mouth of every person
in the United States who requires expedition IN
business. This short expression ftly represents
the tumbling, go-ahead and spasmodic charac,
ter of all classes of the people. Work, work, and
work is the everlasting routine of everyday life
In those trades and professions in which men are
paid by the piece, the applications to labor by
numbers of the men, would almost seem to be a
matter of life and death To say that these peo-
pie are extremely industrious, would by no means
give a correct idea of their habits the fact Is,
they are selfish and savagely wild in devourlng
their work. Ifmy reader can imagine snip s
crew, almost famished by hunger, struggling
for the last biscuit, it would give no bad notion
of the continued craving desire manifested by
them to hurry their work and grasp all they can.
In the establishment where myself was employ
ed, there were men making from $50 to $50 per
week, and yet such is the selfshness engendered
by prosperity, they were never satisfied.

THE BRAssFIELD VERpIcr.-It is nearly
six weeks, says the Salt Lake Vedette, since
Squire N Brassfeld was assassinated on one OF
the most public streets of this city. The assas-
sin has not been arrested although the very
large sum of S4l50 was offered for bis arrest
and conviction. The newspapers Of this city
have stated their views of the affair, and the en-
tire country has read them, commented upon
them and rendered the verdict-what is it ?
With the exception of two newspapers, the
Placervile Mirror and Denver Gazette, which are
the only newspapers within the United States,
coming under our observation, that sustain the
Mormon Polygamists in the assassination of
Brassfeld the crime has been denounced in I'M
measured terms and the demand has been stern
" made that the assassin be delivered to law
and iustice We could have filled our journal
with editorials upon this subject written by our
exchanges We have not, however, chosen to
do so. contenting ourselves in publishing &C.
casionally the opinion of journal, located west
of the Missouri river The verdict of the nation
is, that Brassfeld was killed by church counsel,
aud the assassin is known to, and protected by,
the church leaders residing in this city.
Cannot our citizens remember the insulting
demand made that the names of those who
subscribed the reward offered for the assassin
should be published? Cannot thay remember
how that fearful crime was sustained in Taber-
nacle sermons, during the recent church con-
ference, and in the columns of the daily Mormon
organ Of this city? Cannot they remember how
exul,ant they were until few words from Sher-
man sent the whole pack of them bowling to
their dens of crime
There are many dark and fearful stains OF
crime resting upon the history of Utah. They
have been punished. The Mountain
Meadow massacre-the Potter, Parish. Forbes
murders, the assassinations of Pike, Neil and
Brassield on the streets of this city, all await
the investigation of retributive justice. 1t is
due to the fair name of the loyal men and women
OF Utah, that these crimes be investigated and
the guilty punished. The church leaders of
Utah are justly chargeable with the recent assas-
slrstion of Brass6ed. That crime was the re-
suit of their teachings as witnessed in the church
conference last April, and in the columns of tn cir
daily organ in this city If they wish to escape
the responsibility of this crime they will sur
render the assassin to justice and let the law
take its course with him. Until they do this
and in view of the record so plainly and onepiv
made. we charge, before God and the America n
Nation that the killing of Brassheld was the re-
suit of church counsel, and that the act is de-
Tended by the heads of the Mormon Church.
We charge this by the record which is now
familiar to every man, woman and child in Utah.
and to the entire press Of the nation

ode to stone~aal Jaek.on.

New York Copperhead paper prints high
toned rebel ode to Gen. Stonewall Jackson. II
breathes spirit of present defiance and lust for
revenge. Following are extracts from it,
jackson is deadi Bear softly his ashes
And lag them to rest Mount vernou's green
He hears not the cannon be needs not their flashes
For Washington greets him a happy "All Hail !"
Together they sleep, proud rivals In glory,
No longer they toll where the wild carnage raves
But history gilds the bright laurel Of story
To beam with new luster above the twin graves"
Jackson Is dead! Disturb not bis sumber
But smooth the soft pillow that raises his head;
While living he spurned the foul foe without number
Let not their pollution disturb him when dead!
linen, soldiers come and the oath word II
Let angels record with their pens from high,
swear by your swords, and God shall record 1t,
Swear to avenge him by him to die
