H The political standing of an
Ohio copperhead has been at last
historically established-never more
to be desputed, as it was fixed by its
friends. 1t was done st Philadel-
phia, in the expulsion of Vallandig-
ham. They are marked as too mean
and despicable to sit in Convention
with the motley crew that made up
that body rebels, abclitionists,
"bresd and butter men," or those
who barter manhood for office. An

voked, and say hard things in return,

theory and practice, that treason is
not odious but honorable, not de-
serving of punishment but Of reward,
and that traitor, taken with arms
in his hands, is the equal Of the most
loyal man in the country. A few
months since, and the South would
have been content to accept repre-
sentation in Congress upon the con-
dition that she should elect none but
loyal representatives. Now as the
legitimate fruits of ''my policy"
She demands that the halls of Con-
gress be thrown wide open to the ad-
mission OF the leading men of the
rebellion, that the entire legislation
of the country shall be entrusted to
the hands OF the men, who starved our
brave soldiers at Andersonville,
Salisbury and Libby. Grant these
demands, and what will be the char
acter of the future legislation of the
country? Our national debt will be
repudisted, the finances of the coun-
try ruined, the bond-holders and
creditors of the Government defraud-
ed, the claims of our wounded and
crippled soldiers for support from
the Government will be ignored, and
Union men every where throughout
the country prescribed and excluded
from all positions of power and trust.
Such is the future that is staring US
in the face. 1t can be averted only
in one way. The loyal men of the
country must stand firmly together,
and see to it that they return to Con-
gress none save men who have been
tried and can be trusted. We want
no ssbread and butter" men to rep
resent us in this crisis of our affairs.
If true to ourselves, we can and will
save the country st the ballot box,
as we have saved it on the battle
field.

The several bureaus which have
charge of the settlement of soldiers
claims are flooded daily by bushels
of letters from sol1iers, complaining
of the delay in the settlement of their
just claims against the Government
The men entitled to the bounties
granted by Congress are especially
indignant at the unnecessary and
cruel postponement of their pay
ment, and do not hesitate, in many
cases. to express their dissatisfac-
ton in terms more forcible than ele-
CANT The soldiers, almost to man,
blame the Treasurer for the non-e -ex-
ecution of the law of Congress re-
warding them for their services dur
ing the war. No action whatever
has been taken in regard to the mat
ter by the Treasury Department, and
it looks as if the question of boun
ties is destined to drag along until
Congress, next session, makes a
specific appropriation for their pay
ment The report of Gen. Csnby's
board of the subject is still locked
up in the Presidents private drawer
at the White House, and it is ques-
ton if it will ever see its way into
print.

E The President and his party
claim that the South have accepted
the situation in good faith, and are
willing to abide by the results of the
war. Gen. Forest, who presided at
the late ratification meeting at Mem
phis, more truly spoke the senti-
ments of the South, when he declar-
ed that the contest was not ended,
but only transferred from the battle
field to the ballot box. And the
tone of the Southern press, the true
exponent of Southern sentiment,
evinces anything but disposition
20 accept the situation in good faith.
The Richmond Wing, commenting
upon the address issued by the Phil
adelphia Convention, says:
''In so far as the address assumes
that the people of the South are re-
sponsible for the war, that the war
was a rebellion, that they are dis
posed to acknowledge culpability
and contrition, and that the Federal
Government acted in self-defense
and under the Constitutional as.
sumes what the people of'me South do
not 6eliepe or feel 10 be trae, and what
therefore they have not thought of
admitting"
Here we have the true sentiment of
the Southern people, and we doubt
very much the wisdom of turning
over the administration of the Gov
ernment to men holding such views
as these. They do not acknowledge
themselves to be guilty of treason
and rebellion, but. claim merely to
have a acted in self-defense against
the unjust Government. They justi-
fy the civil wrr which they precipi-
tated upon the country, and have no
regrets for the sacrifice Of blood and
treasure which it cost us. This is
accepting the situation with q
vengence--accepting the situation
as the horse-thief when he gets into
the States prison,-he doesn't mean
to steal any more until he gets out.
The Richmond Enquirer talks in the
same strain, to-wit:
''It is indeed impossible to read
many parts of the address of Mr..
Raymond and remember that it
claims to have Southern indorse-
ment, without deep Indignation
Whatever he may think, the South
ern people, at least, repd and spurn
tie charge that they are rebels and in
sUrgents. They deny, too, that the
Federal Government was on the de-
fenslve. and was not the assailant in
the war"
The Philadelphia Convention
seems to have represented nothing
save ITSELF Both North and South
repudiate it.

E The Presidents wearisome it.
Grafton of the assertion that he has
done his whole duty, suggests that
there may be possible doubs in his
own mind about it. Gen. Grant did
his whole duty, but does not go
round the country telling every
body that he has, as though begging
them to believe it. When men are
thoroughly conscious of having done
their whole duty, they are generally
satisfied to let their acts testify for
them. We suspect the President is
haunted by the ghosts of his old
speeches, in which he pledges him
self to put traitors on the back seats,
make treason odious, and confine the
work of reconstruction to loyal men
exclusively. He must be conscious
that his policy has not been in ac-
cordance with his pledges. Is this
what's the matter with him2

The Importance of the Fall
Election.

The Importance of the coming
election cannot be oYerrated. The
present is no ordinary political con-
test, and the issues involved in it are
of no ordinary Importance. If there
was ever a time when the full
strength and power of the Union
party should be brought out at the
ballot-box, it is the present The
South, defeated on the field of battle,
seeks to regain at the ballot-box the
political power which she lost by
rebellion. In this she is backed up
by the whole strength of the copper
head party of the North. At this
crisis, the President has abandoned
the principles and party by whom he
was elected, and cast the weight of
his influence and the vast patronage
of his official position in favour of
rebels and traitors. In word, the
spirit of treason still lives, and q
vast conspiracy is en- foot to pro-
scribe all loyal men from any parti-
cipation in the affairs of this Gov
ernment, and surrender it into the
hands of its enemies, iato the hands
of the very men who endeavored to
destroy it. Against this vast COM
bination of traitors, cepperheads
and apostates, Congress has been
manfully struggling for months
Brides and threats were freely used,
but still they steod firm. And it is
now the plain duty of the loyal men
of the country, by an overwhelming
victory at the polls this fall, to so
encourage and strengthen the hands
and hearts of the Union members of
Congress, that they will go back to
Washington next December with a
fixed determination to stand fast in
this contest between loyalty and
treason. 1t is not enough, that we
are successful at the ballot box
We want complete and overwhel-
ming triumph, we want large majori-
ties. If we have that, this election
will settle the contest forever, and
convince traitors that the day of
their rule in this country is past
And such triumph we can have, if
loyal men are vigilant and active
We are glad to see that the Union
party is working up and beginning
to appreciate the Importance of the
crisis. The campaign is opening
with vigor, all meetings are largely
attended, the enthusiasm of the
people was never surpassed, and
there seems to be a determination on
their part to give such a decided
expression of, their views at the
coming election as will settle this
contest once and forever. We re-
peat, we want large majorities, ma
jorities that will exert moral power
both at the South and throughout
the country, convincing traitors and
copperheads that it is the fixed SEN
timent of the vast majority of the
American people, that loyal men
shall henceforth control the desti-
nies of this Government. And let
every loyal man see to it, that his
whole influence within his neighbor-
hood is brought to bear to secure
this great end. Let every man help
on the great work.

R The johnson Democratic

~ The johnson Democratic
party have latterly taken a great
liking to "Know Nothings," whose
chief article of creed was that 8
foreign born man, no matter what
his nation, religion or talents,
should reside here twenty-one years
before being permitted to vote
Hon. o. F. Moore, their candidate
for Congress in this district, is OF
that character, while in the 18th
district they have nominated Judge
Van Trump, the last Know Nothing
candidate for Governor. Having
adopted these men as their candi-
dates, it is fair to infer that the party
endorse their creed.

great piece of impudence it was for
lot OF rebels, copperheads, and

Philadelphia and undertake to tell
the loyal people of this country what
their political rights and duties were,
and how they should settle this war;
A large majority of that convention
were rebels, who fought to destroy

class were of thst meaner set, called
"sympathisers," who renamed at

the army was received would reply,

murdered in the war to save the
Government. Who done it? The
men whom the johnson Democratic

Gallipolis journal. [volume] (Gallipolis, Ohio) 1837-1919, 1866-09-06

But in calling convention to re-
store the State, who shall restore
and re establish it? Shall the man
who gave his influence and his
means to destroy the Government
Is he to participate in the great
work of reorganization Shall he
who brought this misery upon the
State be permitted to control its des-
TIMES? II this be so, then all this
precious blood of our brave soldiers
and officers so freely poured out will
have been wantonly spilled. All
the glorious victories won by our
noble armies will go for naught, and
all the battle fields which have been
sown with dead heroes during the
rebellion will have been made men,
orable in vain.
Those are noble words, and true
as noble; and yet they were uttered

change occurred. Does he stand by

found in the fact of his present en-
