In 1853, when the Democratic party
stood solidly for peace, and were pre-
pairing to pronounced the war for the
maintenance of the Government fail
ure, Gen. Rosecrans, from the tented
field. wrote thus:
Wherever they (the rebels) have the
power they drive before them into their
ranks the Southern people, and they
would also drive us. Trust them not
Were they able, they would invade and
destroy us without mercy. Absolutely
assured OF these things, am amazed
that any one could think OF peace on
any terms He who entertains the SEN
timent is fit only to be a slave; he who
utters il at this time is moreover traitor
to his country, who deserves the scorD
and contempt of all honorable men,"
The author of these stirring words
drew down upon his head the wrath of
the Democracy, and his letter was de-
nOunced with will and wickedness by
the press of that party. After the lapse
of several years, however, it has pur-
posely been forgotten and Rosecrans has
been honored with the nomination for
Governor by the Ohio Democracy, who
exactly cOrresponded during the war
with those who deserved 1.-The scorn and
contempt of all honorable men" and
who were Traitors to their country"
and .'only fit to be slaves" Perhaps the
Democratic party has changed since then
i'm its ideas. but has Pitts

RosECRANs IN 1859.

In the political campaign of1s63, Gem
eral Roseclans, then in command of the
Army of the Cumberland, took deep
interest. His anxiety for the defeat of
Vallsndigham manifested itself when
ever the subject of the Ohio campaign
was introduced, and when the election
was over and the glorious result was re-
reived by telegraph, he issued general
order of congratulation which was read
to the troops on dress parade. This or
der was read to the 9sth Ohio Regiment
on Sabbath, October Is, and was about
as follows: $500 ge
"Ohio sends greeting to her soldiers in
the field-seventy five Thousand majori-
ty for Brough.n aa. :. .l5--
The widest cheering followed the
reading of this order of "Old Rosey,n
and the Boys in Blue" little thought
then that the Democratic party would
so soon take for candidate the man
who congratulated them on the defeat
of that party. JS

The national flag was unfurled at
White Sulpher Springs, Va, on the 4th
of July, for the first time since it was
taken down in 1851. The place selected
was the fav"rite hotel, the resort o; those
who were in the habit of frequenting
th 1t famous watering place during the
war, and who have since supposed that
the rebellion WAS only passing through
season of suspended animation. The
proprietors having given their consent
the old flag was brought from its long
hiding place, and the band played the
unfa .niiiar airs, 1.-THE Star Spangled
Banner" Hail Columbia" and Yam

such rejoicing as the frequenters of the
Springs had not known for many day.
or the four or five hundred guests at the
house, much the greater number were
from the South, and, with the exception
of a few representatives of Baltimore
blood, they accepted the situation with
good grace.

II he Viee.Presfden ON Grants Admin.
fstration.
In his admirable address at Providence,
Mr.. Colfax made the following refer-
ence to President Gram tand his admin
istration: rtes"
Although / shall not transgress the
bounds, and speak in regard to any mere
partisan issue of the day, L rejoice with
you that you have an administration in
power at Washington, and I allude now
TO your President, which is faithful to
this great country. l pass by those
petty chickering's about the distribution
of patronage, with the single remark
that If he had been inspired he could
not have satisfied the one-tenth of those
whs desired to serve the public in its
offices of honor and profit. That is but
a slight ripple upon the wave for when
you look at the administration that is
given to you, you find already shining
out upon it in letters of glittering light
that word which you have longed to
see in high places at Washington-that
word that goes TO your heart-and that
word is honesty, which is the corner
stone upon which the policy of the ad-
ministration is securely grounded
[Applause.] You know that whether
the President has made this man post
M aster or that man collector, or whether
he has distributed his vast patronage
just exactly as you or or anybody else
would have desired to have it distributed,
you know that in that heart which beats
in his bosom there is no thought except
for the country. [Applause.
And yeu know besides that you can
see. written upon the portals
of the White House that other
word which you have longed for in years
past to see, and that is economy in the
public service. [Applause.l You know
that every expenditure is being cut down
which can be consistently in the public
service; that in every possible way the
burdens upon the public are being re-
duced as far as can be consistently with
our publis credit in the payment of our
public debt, as the party that governs
this country intends it shall be paid to
the utmost dollar. [Applause. And
you know, besides, that hereafter it shall
not be, as in recent years of the past,
that the honest taxpayer shall be COM
PEELED to bear his own burdens and the
burdens of dishonest parties.
Nor is this all. Standing as we do
among the nations of the world, emerg-
ing from our recent crisis, in which we
had to fight not only the rebellion with
its power, but to endure the frown OF
almost the entire civilized world beside
for the monarchical nations looked at
this republic as "a standing protest
against their form of Government and
would rejoice to see it crumble to ruin
you know to-day that your President, in
speaking to you and in your behalf to
the other nations of the world, speaks
with no uncertain voice, but with an
emphasis that demands and receives re-
spect. [Applause.] -t .r.f

Rosecrans for favors received under
trying circumstances. Old Rosey's other

friends, when the latter was travelling as

Being of q philanthropic turn of mind,
1t is painful for US to contemplate the
expenditure of, three Thousand dollars
and more for such q purpose, when there
are SO many poor heathens suffering for
the lack of Bibles and Gospel teaching.
Just think of the number of pennies it
will require to replace this from
the poor Sabbath-school boys who
will be asked to contribute something
for missionary purposes every Sunday.
Here we have a very mean effort made
to convince the Democracy that the ex
penses of these clergymen, even down
to washing their shirts and backing
their boots, was paid out of the mission
ry fund, when the editor of that infidel
sheet knows no such thing was done.
We ask honest Democrats who believe
that the christian church is of Divine
origin, and that it is doing good work
in the world, to carefully read this fiend-
inspired TRADE and see the malice con-
tanned in it. 1t derisively styles the
clergy E" long-faeed, sanctimonious,
humble followers of the Lord" 1t
creates ficticious expenditures and as
signs their payment to the missionary
fund. 1t attempts to leave the impress
sion that the pennies contributed by
Sabbath-school children for the support
of foreign missions are thus diverted
from their proper channel and used in
violation of the pledges made to the
children. Why are these persistent,
constantly recurring attacks made Upon
the clergy, the Bible Society, the mis-
sionary society and the christian church
by Democratic newspapers? Is the
Democratic party a party of infidels,
that its organs are constantly required
to cater to, in the publication of these
mean and false attacks upon christianity
and its organized instrumentalities? oil
is the christian church, with all its ad-
juncts, by the creation of a higher and
nobler moral and religious sentiment
and the elevation of the human family
quietly and surely undermining the
power of modern Democracy? 1t would
be well for the thinking, rejecting por.
tion of the Democratic party to examine
this subject. There is an evident hos
tility between the leaders of your party
and the christian church. That hostiIi.
ty is constantly manifesting itself in
such falsely malicious attacks as the one
we give above, by which the power and
influence of the church is sought to be
paralyzed. 1T is apparent that you must
sooner or later, choose between thest
conflicting powers. The church mus
defend herself, and if the interest of the
Democratic party requires her leaders t.
wage an unfair and unholy warfare
against the church, then it is the duty
ofthe entire membership Of the church
to array themselves against this attack
ing party. The country can far bette
do without the influence of such Democ
racy than it can do without the benifi
cent influence of the christian church.

General Rosecrans has never done
anything of note but his grievi0us parts
in the war, for which he will be effect
ually remembered by thousands of DEM
ocrats at the polls. He is an everlasting
talker and correspondent. but knows
very little of constitutional law or polit-
ical economy. He has with his sword
violated all the defenses of liberty for all
the States. 1t is true he il inimical to-
General Grant, which i'll opinion Is re-
ciprocated, but that is very slender
ground for his selection. He was not
the candidate for the Enquirer, which is
besotted with Cary, and got him so bad
ly beaten that he will not reappear as a
Democratic politician. The indiffer-
ence of the Enquirer to General Rose
Grams is not good ground for supporting
him. In short, he is not any true rep
resentative of Democracy, snd our lead
ers who never had an idea. nor the
slightest estimate OF one, will be sur
prIsed to find how many will refuse to
vote fol- the nominee for Governor If he
runs. 1t is true that the Statesman, AS
usual after nominations. is very extrav-
agant, but that is chronic and signifies
nothing. Itcalls itself the central organ |
of the party. Judge Gilmore will make |
a gssd member of the Supreme Court,
ana he has considerable acquaintance |
with sound political principles. There |
is great pleasure in supporting such a !
candidate. The Attorney General, Mr. !
Connel, is an inconsiderable person, who
might well represent the party, if we
had had no war, and if we had not been
in it, and Illuminated back home bis
aversion to Cepperheads. OF the rest We
ay speak hereafter. e- r.
We do not, by any means, consider the
ticket settled SO far as the head of it |
stands. Genersl Rosecrans may choose
to make the canvass as candidate for
Governor, but we are at a loss to know
what he can say, or how answer the
honest objection TO his public character |
and his military anteeedents. We shall
possess ourselves in patience till the
General has spoken, and the voters take
serious view > of the prospects before
them. -tE

INFIDELITY,

Covert infidelity does far more evil to
the cause Of Christianity and the moral
advancement of the community than
open,ayowedi infidelity. The man who,
under the garb Of respect for religion and
in association with the christian church,
is constantly stabbing both, in the furth-
erance of q hellish political purpose, is
infinitely verse than an avowed ifidel
or and open enemy to the cause of
christianity.
A short time ago the st. Clairsville
Gazette, for the sole purpose, evidently,
ofpreventing Democrats from eontribu-
ting money for the spread of the Bible,
made contemplate sattack upon the
American Bible Society, because that
Society, according to its usual custom,
had presented the President of the Uni
ted States with copy of the Bible
That attack, base and malicious as it
was, had the effect of preventing scores
or Democrats in this county from max
ing theirusual contributions tothe Bible
cause zGi4s SW -iAl 49, t-
Thesame paper In its last issue makes
an infidel attack upon the Missionary
Society, by copying the following low,
scurrilous article, meanly misrepresent-
ing call made upon the President by a
number Of clergyman 20
"A DEAD Loss TO THE MISSIONARY
FuND.-Three hundred iong-faeed, sane
timonious, humble +" followers of the
LoRp,n lately called upon President
Grant to congratulate him. Grant said,
Thank you.n The conversation then
turned en- shaking hands. Grant said (:
to shake hands with all the parsons in
the United States would be tiresome.- -
All the ciergymen then smiled, and the
interview ended. gi.s5 iEtHi btta
1t is interesting to make an estimate
of how much less this has been to the
missionary fund, for instance:
