DEMOCRATIC LOYALTY.

SINCE the eopperhead papers praise heir
candidate for Governor because of his
loyalty in the rebellion. We are constrained
to examine into his record and that of some
Of his supporters, to see what kind OF ii
soldier he was, and what kind of men
his supporters are who now boast OF his
loyalty
In 1861, in the height of the war fever,
Mr. Roberts. stimulated by the excitement
and commission as Lieutenant Colonel
of the Second Maine Regiment, took the
commission and entered the army He
went through the Mcclellan campaign
to Richmond, and i'm the fall of 1862,
when the army was beaten and reduced in
numbers and the government was strain
ing erery nerve TO recruit it, he rendered
bis resignation. That was not time when
the government could afford to let even a
private 60, especially one who had seen
service, but finally the resignation was ac-
eepted and Col. Roberts discharged. The
extent of his military service was his par
ticjpation in the disastrous Mcclellan cam
paign. That having failed, he failed. and
came our of the war sick, and has been
sick ever since of the war and antagOnis-
tic TO the party that carried it on. McClel-
lanism took possession OF him, and held and
keeps him in its clutches. lie wanted the
government to fight the rebels tenderly,
with one hand and hold down the
slaves with the other so that they might
raise corn and bacon and build earihworks
for the rebel armies. Herein consists his
loyalty" as defined in the copperhead die
tionary. His pulse never rose once TO the
genuine glow of true patriotism. When he
found that the government meant war in
earnest, even to the freeing and arming OF
the negroes. his political prejudlces were
stronger than his patriotism and he re-
signed. Somuch for the loyalty" of Gen
eral Roberts, the democratic candidate for
gesernor.
in tbs year 1868, when the draft was
prevailing in this State as means to fill
Sp the sxa@g. and truly loyal men every
where were active in promoting enlist

po,1ers of General Roberts to-day. The
editor of tn. democratic paper which ex-
listed in Franklin county at the time OF the
Kinafield riots was President of the demo-
cratic convention at Bangor the other day
which nominated General Roberts. Prob
ably he is ''loyal." At any rate he says
General Roberts is. aud of course his past
record is sufficient to make him good au-
thority.
At the time our little garrison in Fort
Sumpter, commanded by Anderson. was
fired upon by the rebels and forced to sue
cumb and see the Union flag trampled I'M
der the feet of rebels, there was sheet in
this State called the Bangor Democrat,
which exulted over the insult to our flag.
and glored in the achievement of Beaure-
gard That sheet declared that the rebels
were fighting for their liberty against OPP
preston, as our fathers fou Int against
England, and the editor advised democrats
when asked to enlist in defence of the
Government to give Il stern refusal. lie
pronounced the war on our part an ''un-
holy war; and the men Who went into it
"Lincoln's hirelings,' and prayed that all
of them might lind bloody graves in the
South. His course became so outrageous
that the exasperated people of Ban
gor took instant remedy into their hands
and destroyed his press and silenced his
paper. That man now stands on the same
ticket with General Roberts, as the demo-
cratic candidate for Congress from the
Fourth District. They are yoke-fellows in
the same cause. No doubt Emery will
vouch for the .'lotalty' of Roberts, and
Roberts will do the same for Emery. But
what kind of "loyalty" is it ?
VIII some of the democratic papers that
have mentioned the ''loyalty' Of their can
didatc for governor, tell us what they
mean by the word as applied to him. and
also what they think of the kingiield riot
ers and associates when judged by the same
standard, and the democratic candidate
for Congress in the Fourth District? We
should like to know what is what and who
is who.
