General sherman.

The Washington (Pa.) Jet.
fersonian, an old standby Of
the Democracy, opposes the
nomination of Gen. Sherman
for President by its party. The
editor of.the JeGersOnian is
hard on his party as well rs on
the General. Hear him: .
"For six years the Democ-
racy has felt humniatea and
ashamed of itself, becaGse
forced into wrong POSITION
1t has been a hypocrite and a
liar throughout the war. The
war is Black Republican prop
erty. What is General Sher-
man but a murderer, an inva.
der Of private rights, and a cot
ton thief II the Democrats
are fools enough to putin nomi.
nation any man for President
who has wore shouider-straps
during the abolition crusade,
we hope he will be defeated,
and we will do all in our pow
er to accomplish that end"
How do you like his,soldiers,
you who fought your way to
the sea with the noble Sher-
man? Can you read this and
then act with a party that still
persists in calling you thieves
and murderers2

His Latter End.

1t is an old bat true adage
which says, ''let envy alone
and it will spite itself" In the
case of Andrev' Johnson this
axiom is about to be fully dem
oEstrated. His Excellency has
been using the powerful pat.
ronage and influence of his Of
fetal position ever since he has
been President, for which he
is alone indebted to a black.
hearted assassin and murderer
to elevate into office the John
Wilkes Booth Democracy, and
place under their control the
whole of the civil and military
affairs of the nation. He may
feel that he owes it as a debt
of gratitude to the Rebel or
Democratic party (Which are
notOriously but one and the
same, distinction without a
difference, to pursue the treas,
enable course he has against
the party who made him Vice
President, and against his own
denpnciations of
rebels and traitors in by-gone
days. We repeat that he may
feel 1t as a debt of gratitude he
owes the so.called Democracy,
insomuch as one Of the most
brave and devoted Democrats
Of the rebellion made him
President outright.

Serseant Bates.

The Columbus Journal says:
Since the hummer Bates star
ted on his tour with the peace
ful flag he never carried into
battle, much has been said by
the Copperhead papers of the
dove-like disposition of the
population he has passe d
through in the South. 1t is ev.
identity considered a most
praiseworthy tLing that even
this hummer, who never saw a
battle should be allowed to
proceed on his humbug jour
ney with his flag, and has not
actually been outraged or
murdered. This so-called "Ser-
geant" Bates Che never was a
Sergeant any more than he
was a Soldier) is not the sort OF
men they murder down South
He never harmed them. If
The whole Union army had
been composed Of such men,
.tlie South would to-day be an
independent Confederacy.. His
.journey is without significance
so far as the disposition of the
Southern people to tie Gov.
ernment is concerned. Another
fact, however, has ghastly sig,
nilicance: There has been a
Union man murdered in the
South for every mile this so.

decline in the market, Of " hich
