POLITICAL ITEMS.


sE- The Hartford Copperheads added
to the enthusiasm" of pole raising, the
other evening, by stoning an adjacent At
rican church.
eS- The New York Sun wants to know
what will eventually become of Andrew
johnson, "who went in by actual murder,
and goes out by political suicide"
s8- Partisans may say what they please,
but the world will never believe that the
General who took Vicksburg, opened
Chattanooga and received Lees surrender,
is man of no executive ability.
UY- The largest political flag ever made
in this country was raised in New York a
few days ago. 1t is thirty by forty feet in
size, has portraits of Grant and ColfaX fif-
teen feet high, and the names of the can
didates in gold letters two feet high.
EBr The Augusta (Arkansas) Sentinel
has the following paragraph under the
head of "a Fair Warning" "If you
hate the tax gatherer you had better hate
the Radicals They will put you to death
If you don't put them to death. You had
better be the aggressors."
CE- The New York World is exasper-
ated because Gen. Dan. Sickles, of the
United States army, "is now stumping
about the country" We don't see how he
can help stumping about the country. The
Democracy at Gettysburg shot away one
of his legs, which compels him to "stump
it."-DdytOn journal.
ET- At Democratic meeting in Ho-
boken, the other evening, the name OF
Lee being mentioned, "the audience took
up the name of Lee, and loud, enthusias-
tic, and continued cheering was given for
n I Nd o11rN
plemented by cheers for General Beaure-
gard and Frank Blair"
CTy- General Steedman recently ad-
dressed Democratic meeting at New Or
leans, at which there were two significant
transparencies. On one was, "Go home,
you carpet bagger." On the other, "No
Internal revenue" The satire on loyalty
was complete, Steedman being carpet
Dagger and Collector of Internal Revenue.
CY- What vote shall we givo?-
What vote shall we give
That our country may live
And shine on In unfading gloryi
That her wounds may be healed,
And the fountain be scaled
The fountain of strife, red and gOryf
ULYSSES S. GRANT
Is the hero we want;
'Tis he to whom honors are due, man;
Then grant him bHt these
And " let us have peace"
Vote for GRANT and for CoLFAx, the true men.
sEy- The massacre at Camilla seems to
have whetted rather than satiated the
rebel appetite for blood. The Columbus
Sun hopes that cat the next collision
sure and speedy vengeance may seek and
find the white leaders rather than their
ignorant and deluded dupes." The
Charleston Mercury expresses desire, in
the event Of another such affair, to be able
"to chronicle that every white man has
been slain"
CB" 1t is said that the official report Of
the Camilla massacre, which has been for
wsrded by General Sibley, fully sustains
all that the Republicans have said of that
horrible affair. General Sibley says that
no action whatever has been taken by the
civil authorities of Georgia to bring the
murderers to justice, and no inquest has
been held upon the bodies of the dead
The civil authorities themselves, he says
were engaged in the massacre. The re-
ports of the officers engaged in the inves-
tigation show that the act was premedi-
tated, and encouraged and prepared for by
the Sheriff, and was begun blythe whites,
without provocation.
