!" Our Hero ''-Demoerats, Attention!

regardless Of past party affiliations
at the Court House, tonight, to up
hold the President in his efforts t,
defend and protect Constitutions
liberty" l is folly to suppose tina
any Republican will unite in AM
:" efforts to uphold the President " il
his usurpation Ii any such meeting
is held it will be under the auspice;
of the Democracy, and particularly
the peace wing Of that party.
We desire 10 refresh the memories
of the enraged patriots, who propose
to vent their Indignation to-ni ght, as
to the Democratic view Of this man 5
character aud notions. We repeat
what we pa9iishei short time since
on the su j;cr. We referred to the
occurrence at the Burnett House in
Cincinnati, when Gen. D. c. BUELL.
IAN officer held in high regard by the
Democracy publicly denounced
JOHNSON as q liar and poltroOn,
and this now valient hero qlietly
pocketed the compliment We have
before US the letter which Gen BUELL.
published in order to correct the falsi-
fication which ANDREW JOHNSON
had made under oath, regarding Gen.
BUELL's conduct at Nashville. After
showing wherein JOHNSON had viii
fully committed perjury, the General
concludes as follows: Fl
Mr.. johnson has neUer responded to
this, and it IS the general optRjoR that
1t laid out has Uerdcity Indeed, Mr..
JOhnson,s character for Veracity has
been too bad at any time to permit him
to RAISE q question l0ith any body on
that head
The Evansville Courier, which, this
will make its appearance
with flaming notice for the johnson
Indignation Meeting, in which it will
make pathetic appeals to citizens,
regardless of past party affiliations"
TO turn out IN force " to defend the
champion of the principles of our
Fathers" has quite recently expressed
its opinion of the moral turpitude of
this champion. The Courier, a few
weeks ago, in commenting upon the
development made by Mr. RAYMOND
of the Presidents connection with !
the Philadelphia Convention Of
1866, thus expressed itself
His Exeellency:
We cannot but believe that man
who would deliberately bring himself
to win the confidence of party only
to betray it into the hands of its enc
mics, WOULD BE GUILTY OF
ALMOST ANY ACT sohich he fit
certain 1oould adUance has Oloa inter
ssts and satisfy his ambition.
After this recent sweeping con-
lemnation of ANDREW JoHNsoN's
.reacherous character, the Courier
low has the efrontery to call upon
'ur citizens to unite in unfolding his
violation of the laws and /
lefance of Congress, in language as
follows:
RALLY IN FoRCEl RALLY FOR
FOUR CoUNTRYl RALLY FOR THE
EREEN GRAVES OF OUR BRAVES
IN DEFENSE OF THE
Union! RALLY FOR YOUR HOMES
ND FRIENDS RALLY FOR THE
AUsE OF RIGHT. p"
There is not an honest Democrat in
Evansville who in the sincerity Of his
ecret heart has the least respect for
his bold, bad man. All heartily re-
pond to the sentiment of the Courier
hat he would be guilty Of almost
ny act which he felt would advance
is own interests and satisfy his am
ition." Then, why encourage him
/ his present resolution to precipi-
lte the country into civil WARP
We will again ask our Democratic
lends to look upon picture which,
ntil recently, they have seen drawn
/ many a Democratic newspaper.
