Briok Pomer0y gave tho ''dlstln-
gaishsd gentleman soldier who fig
ures on the copperhead ticket as Vice
President the following hard rub:
The Jsccobins have takon q new
line Of attack upon this distinguished
democrat (Voorhees) Failing to in
jure him by assaiiing, and at times
misrepresauting, his political opin.
ions, they have OF late been faisifying
his position upon the democratic
presidential nomination. Not long
since they stsrtsd the that he WAS in
favor Of the nomination Of one Of the
vipersus Blair family--Frank p
These Biairs wera faise-harted race
have been for more than twenty
long years plotting against the peace
of the country and rights of states

time when Did Blair got his mad up
because Presidens Polk would not
keep him Ia position ns the admins
tration organ grinder at Washington,
but turned him off for sounder dem.

sued tho democratic party with the
malignant and vengefal spirit Of 3
volt. Aud his two wolf cubs, Mont.
gomsry and FFank, hare been true to
their parensge. The former, - Lin
coins postmaster genera, arbitrarily,
and in violation Of the o0nstituti0n
and laWR excluded IRON the mails

and supported III Of Lincoln's usurl
pations and measures of tyranny
Frank signalised his real and brutah-
" By c0mmsncing his military career
under Lincoln in tho perpetzation Of
IN indiscriminate slanghter Of men,
women and children IN tho streets of
ST. L0uis. This was universally -
knowledged 60 b one Of the most
Aenish acts committed during The
/ war-not even surpassed by the infA-
NOUS Mcneil or Rev. Butcher Chiv-
ington.
Tn the estimation Of some worry

now good democrats.
