POLITICAL ITEMS.

GTS0 The Hartford COpperheads added
to the enthusiasm" of pole raising, the
other evening, by stoning an adjacent Af-
rican church.
CB 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"
gY 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.
C "The Mcclellan Guards" were or
ganized in Detroit on the 18th. Unlike
their namesake, the members are princi-
pally distinguished for their ability to
"take" something without perpetually
hesitating. So says the Post of that place.
Us 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.
gY- The Augusta (Arkansas) Sentinel
has the following paragraph under the
head of "a Fair Warming: eff 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."
ag- 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 stataoping about the country. The
Democracy at Gettysburg shot away one
of his legs, which compels him to "stump
it."-Dayton Journal.
WB 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
| Gen. Lee and Horatio Seymour, and sup
plemented by cheers for General Beaure-
gard and Frank Blair"
w~ General Steedman recently ad-
| dressed Democratic meeting at New Or
leans, at which there were two significant
transparencies. On one was, $50 home,
you carpet bagger." On the other, "No
internal revenue" The satire on loyalty
was complete, Steedman being a carpet.
bagger and Collector of Internal Revenue
w What vote shall we give?-
| What vote shall we give
| That our country may live
| And shine on in unfadiDg gloryg
| That her wounds may be healed,
| And the fountain be sealed
| The fountain of strife, red and CORY?
| ULYSSES S. GRANT
| Is the hero we want;
'Tis he to whom honors are due, man;
| Then Grdnt him but these
And . let us have peace
| Vote for GRANT and for CoLFAx, the true men.
~ The massacre at Camilla seems tc
have whetted rather than satiated the
rebel appetite for blood. The Columbus
| Sun hopes that "at the next collision
sure and speedy vengeance may seek ant
| find the white leaders rather than theil
ignorant and deluded dupes." The
Charleston Mercury expresses desire, il
the event of another such affair, to be able
"to chronicle that every white man ha!
been slain" agi3 ~ 9s4E
GY- 1t is said that the official report o
the Camilla massacre, which has been for
warded by General Sibley, fully sustain
all that the Republicans have said of tina
horrible affair. General Sibley says tina
no action whatever has been taken by th'
civil authorities of Georgia to bring th
murderers to justice, and no Inquest ha
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 b.
! the Sheriff, and was begun blythe white:
without proYocation.
