Ms~The Democratic Soldiers Convention, as
an adjunct to the Copperhead Convention late
ly held in New York city, was an entire sue
cess. Gen. Slocum and Wade Hampton, Gen.
McClernand and Butcher" Forest, "Col. Z"
Boyle and Internationally Surrender ed Buck
ner, affiliated nicely, and We should not be sur
prised to hear that the master piece of the con-
sentative show held in Philadelphia in Febru-
airy, 1866, had been acted over again, " for this
"occason only" in New York. In Philadel
phia, Gen. Slocum and Gov. Ord walked into
the audience hall in solemn procession, linked
arm in arm, which was supposed to typify the
fraternal and happy feelings existing between
the North and South. This might have been
repeated in New York, or improved upon by
"dirt- eating" Slocum carrying Butcher"
Forest into the convention hall, on his back
This spectacle would be eminently emblemat-
cal of the determination Of the democratic SOL
diers to support their late erri,ag comrades in
" arms"
We wonder if there was in all the demo
"cratic soldiers convention one who felt the
shock of a rebel bullet or the thrust of rebel
bayonet 1t cannot seem to US that there was
Certainly we recognize none such. Sickles, who
left leg at Gettysburg, was not there; nor
the armless Howard or Dennison; nor the
manned heroes many of whose names we so
well remember. They cannot SO soon forget
the late onpleasantness." While in all the
personal relations of life hold it to be the
duty Of every one to forget as far as possible
the events of the last six years, politics is en-
tirely another matter. We can fraternize with
rebels, socially, fully and freely; but cannot
trust them politically, nor can we see how any
one who ever wore the Blue " can do it.

"CARrET BAGGERs."-We hear great deal,
from democratic journals, of the "carpet bag
gers" of the Southern States, a name derisive-
ly applied to Northern men who have settled
in the lately seeded States, and who are aid
ing, by their industry, energy, enterprise and
wealth, in raising up that enervated region to
a state of prosperity which it never before en-
joyed. These men have gone South, perhaps
with no other baggage than "carpet bag :"
but they took with them brains and energy and
capital, and were welcomed by the people of
that section. If some of them have been sent
back North, as members of Congress, this fact
is only proof that their good qualities and
abilities are appreciated at their new found
homes.
But, while copperhead journals abuse Repub-
lican carpet. baggers," they studiously avoid
saying anything of their own "bundlers. -
Northern democrats have gone South, and the
only reason Vi c don't see them in Congress is
that they hav'n't the requisite brains, or that
the Sou hern people have had so much Of dem
ocratic misrre as to not be willing to trust
them gain. Occasionally one of them works
"his pa sage North, carrying all his worldly
goods on his b',ck, or in bundle" not being
able to rise to The dignity Of "carpet bag"

@s-The evidences are plenty, and thicken-

Ns~The evidences are plenty, and thicken-
ing on all sides that the democracy intend
making war of great bitterness in the ap
preaching Presidential contest, against the Re
publican candidates. Rebel cesspools are be-
ing carefully raked for calumnies against the
Republican leaders. The copperhead press in
ssts that" Grant used up more men than Lee"
Well, he won more victories than Lee. A good
machine is judged by its completed work.
Another line of assault is the attempt to array
the Jews against Grant on account of an army
order excluding from our lines certain parties,
among whom Jews were named. There are no
men in the country who, at the time, more
heartily Endorsed everything that the Union
commanders deemed necessary for the welfare
of the Union cause, than did the Republican
members of the Jewish faith throughout the
country. There are no better or more enter
prsing citizens in the country than are many
of the Israelites, and they are sure to be true
to the Republican cause in November.

A COMMERCIAL VIEW OF THE CRoPs.-The
Cincinnati Price Current, of the LIST instant thus
speaks Of the wheat harvest aud other crops:
Wheat has been harvested, pretty generally, in
all the States south OF the Ohio river, and also in
the southern portion of Illinois The yield is not
very heavy but the quality is pretty generally
highly spoken of. In portions of Indiana the
weevil has been doing considerable damage, but
this does not extend over large district. The
accounts from the entire Union, with an exccp-
ton here and there AZ regards the crops are
generally favorable more generally than bias
been the case for many years. The indications
Of an abundant corn crop are quite favorable,
and should this be the case, IL large increase in
the pork crop may oe looked for the coming
son, because the supply OF stock hogs will be
unusually large for not only was the supply
left over from last season large, farmers not hav
ing fatted them because of the high price of corn
and the comparative low price of pork, but the
increase since then has been liberal, SO that the
number now in the Western States, it will he
seen, must be unusually large.

BRwARR OF THEM.-A Pittsburg paper says a
new scheme for swindling farmers is on the lapis
The article now offered is wrought iron plow-
point fitting into hollow square of the econo-
my of which wonderful tales are told Those
that have got bitten find that wrought-ron points
cost more apiece than entire shares of cast iron.
AS these plow point swindlers are understood to
be making buried sweep up through the south
ern counties of the State, in order to get into
West Virginia, Pennsylvania and the Eastern
States farmers would do well to be on the alert
for them. Papers DESTROYS fsaving their patrons
pockets will direct attention to this swindling
scheme. 1t has cost the farmers OF the West about
$500, 900 the past year.

This is the title of a volume of poems which
we have Just completed at our office. They
were written by Michael A. McGirr, Esq, of
White Hall, in this county, who has been long
known to the readers of the county papers as
the Gunpowder Bard" Some of these poems
evince high order of poetieal talent, and we
think Mr.. McGirr has acted wisely in having
them published Their author is, as the title
indicates, la5dfing man, one who gains his
"bread by the sweat of his brow" and this lit
tie volume is but the result of his "hours of
"ideness." To show the diversified style of
these poems, we give extracts, taken atrandom,
from the three first pieces:

YOUTH.


Mans youth is like a summer day,
In golden glory breaks its dawn
The gorgeous flowers that throng the way
The dews Of hope lie thick upon;
But, as the noon of life comes on,
Those flowers fade-those dews are gone.
And yet old Night tfou'rt grander far,
Than when thy darkness was complete,
Without morn or evening star
To mark thy advent or retreat.
Thou had'st no rival awful Night,
Till the Eternars voice raised,
Amid the gloom Let there be Light -
And twice ten thousand planets blazed.
THE ARTILLERY CAMP.
IT'S noon the scorching August sun
Shines iercely thro' my leafy cover
The sullen boom of the distant gun,
Proclams that war is not yet over.
No sound within the camp is heard,
Nor busy throngs move to and fro;
None, save the sentinel can be seen,
Who walks with measured step and slow
His scabbard canking on the ground,
At every step of his beaten round
While his drawn sword CLEANS as he passes by,
Like half formed rainbow in the sky.

5ns-The Southern rebels were largely repre-
scented in the late Democratic National Conven-
ton, South Carolina, as usual, taking the lead.
In the list of her delegates may be found the
following
Wade Hampton, ex rebel general.
James Chestnut, seeding United States SEN
ator and member of the rebel Congress.
Judge Aldrich. last year removed by General
Candy from his Judgeship, for open hostility to
the Government
Ex-Governor John l.. Manning, rebel COM
missioner from South Carolina in 1851, and
member of the State Convention that declared
south Carolina out of the Union.
Nj. l.. Bonham, one of the seeding members
of the XXXVth Congress, representative in the
rebel Congress, rebel Governor of South Carroll
ma, and one of the rebel commissioners to Blu
chanan who demanded that the General Gov
eminent should not attempt to hold Fort Sump-
ter.
Robert Barnwell Rhett, the Calhoun of the
rebellion-the first man who in the United
States Congress, of which he was both Rep
resentative and Senator, openly advocated the
dissolution of the Union. OF course he was the
malignant advocate of the rebellion. and led in
demanding it in the convention of his State,
and supporting it in the Congress at Richmond.
From other parts of the South there are also
the same class of delegates.
These men went up to New York ready to
support any candidate, and to swear allegiance
to any platform; but they will use the candi-
date, if he is elected, to carry out the spirit of
their doctrines and their instructions, and, if
necessary. to carry out their designs. they will
repudiatc the platform precisely as they repu-
dated their oaths to the Government of their
fathers.
Can it be possible for party that ai1iliates
with these leading spirits of the rebellion to
have the slightest prospect of success?
