"Death to the foreigners" is the
motto ofthe Republican party. The
Germans they don't like because OF
their "intemperate" habits, and the
Irish on account of their Catholic
ism. This radical party is opposed
to the very principles upon which
this Government is founded. We
say, let every man "worship God &C
cording to the dictates of his own
conscience" while we are opposed
to legislating what a man shall eat
or drink.

The editor ofthe Register

The editor ofthe Register one year
ago was calling consistent Democrats
"butternuts"-a few years ago he
called them acknowledgements" "re-
bels," "tr%aitors,'' and other pet
names. Does he think he is fishing
for gudgeons now? 1t won't do, Col.
With the return of sober second
thought, as the people look at the
general wreck and ruin they will per
sist in demanding a change. You
can no more stay the tide, than you
could dam the Mississippi with a
straw. Soft solder will not win. The
people have not yet forgotten how q
few years ago you would have mob
bed these same consistent and hon
est Democrats. We know you need
help, but don't go too fast, discre,
ton is always the better part of valor,
The Eaton Democrat. (Eaton, Ohio) 1875-1903, 1875-07-29

The whole sum and substance of
the matter, or rather the conclusion
of the whole matter, is, that this Re
bellion will never be crushed or the
Union restored, under the existing
Abolition Administration.
There will have to be a change of
of rulers in this country before we
shall be rid of this devastating and
God-abhorring Abolition crusade a.
gainst one-half of this once happy
and prosperous people. 1t will be
waged by the blind, traitorous, fan
atical rulers who are ruling us with
an infamous military despotism,
their only object being the destruc-
ton of this Union, or of slavery, and
the satisfaction of their brutal pas
sions for vengeance upon the people
of tie South, until they are hurled
from power by the people. 1t is to
be regretted that the people cannot
reach the hero tyrarts Immediately.
They would be hurled from their n
hused places of trust with one voice
as it were. The fact is, that the
country will be utterly and irretriev-
ably ruined and lost. But it is yet
worth a rally on the part of the old
Democracy, who administered the
Government in peace and prospect
ty, like unto which no nation ever
flourished for eighty years. Let us
go to work, and first sweep the YAM
pires from their illgotten and dis
graceful official positions in Ohio.
We can do it, The determination is
all that is wanted"
WHAT THOMAS PRESENT REPUBLICAN
FRIENDS WERE GOING TO DO FOR HIM.
The General weat to the Conven-
ton, and there covered himself with
glory by serving as n oil the tempo
rary Secretaries and found himself
in such company as the good Amos
Layman. During his absence the
paper appeared, and with it the ed
%itorial, when the truly loyal scented
the treason in the article. They
paved the earth and foamed at the
mouth and groaned for Thomas tc
materialize. They had made VI
their minds to throw Thomas Young
their present candidate for Lieuten.
ant Governor, and his rebel printing
office into the canal.
When the convention adjourned in
stead of hurrying home, Tom wen
around by the way of Cincinnati
Time did not cool the fierce indigna
ton of the Republicans, and hear
ing that Thomas q coming Satur
day evening they assembled at thu
depot to give him a warm reception
The Democrats were alarmed ant
not a little apprehensive for the safe
ty of their editor, and a number o
them, and among them the late Col
onel Mathers, determined to stan,
by him in the hour of his need
They boarded the train before
stopped and proceeded to explain tn
situation to Thomas, who turned
pale and trembled as he heard tn
mob without shouting: "Hang tn,
bloody Irish Rebelr' "Where is tina

tremity the cowardice of Tom drov
him to make an admission that edit
ors seldom make. All agitation ant

ONE OF TON YoUNG's EDITORIALS.

ONE OF TOM YOUNG S EDITORIALS.
In June, 1862, General Thomas
Young, Esq, and candidate for
Lieutenant Governor, vas editor of a
Copperhead sheet published at Sid
ney, Shelby County, Ohio. A Dem
ocratic State Convention was to as
semble at Columbus on the 4th of
July, 1862. Thomas determined to
90 up with the unterrified and catch
new inspiration for his editorial Ia
bors. His paper was to appear on
Thursday, while he was gore, and
before leaving he left the following
able editorial to be inserted:
"No HOPE FOR THE COUNTRY EXCEPT
IN TEE SUCCESS OF THE DEMOCRACY"
"Some seem to think that the Fed
eral forces gained a victory and
great advantages in the evacuation
of Corinth by the rebels. The time
will come in cur opinion, when they
will think otherwise. There is
sharp practice and policy in all these
excavations by the rebels. Their
policy is to draw the Federal Army
into the very jaws of the yellow fever
and the diseases incident to the eli
mate of the extreme South. They
are boasting almost constantly-and
they have aus to do so-that dis
ease is killing more Yankees than
rebel balls and powder.
Every day convinces us more and
more that the battle on Chickahom-
my, below Richmond, last Saturday
evening a week ago, was a terrible
and most disastrous defeat of the
of the Federal forces. Many people
talk about Richmond. It will be
just precisely with the rebels, as with
JEFF Davis at their head, may choose
about that. Our opinion is that
there is just as much probability
of our forces taking the moon as
that we will take Richmond. When,
ever jeff Davis gets ready to let us
have Richmond he will let us know
by taking up his bed and walking a.
way. 1t will be just as he pleases
about it.

OBJECTS:
The primary object of this Socie-

based upon Patriotism, Education,
Charity and Fraternity, as taught
under the doctrines of Protestant
Christianity. 1t aims most particu-
larly to educate its members in q
knowledge of the principles and laws
Of our Country, to use all honorable
means to defend and perpetuate its

true spirit of fraternity within its

This is only the old Know-Noth-

of the last resorts of the Radical

that this is an institution directly
