publican. party.

this may be taken as a party decla-
ration on the Constitution of the
United States. The Sentinel says:
The Constitution of the United
States has been little besides a curse
and a hindrance;
1t Is to-day as much as it has been
at any time since it was framed.
1t is the barrier now in the path
way Of the nation;
1t is in league with treason, and
is the bulwark Of secession;
Toit the bafiled brigadiers appeal.
And by it they swear;
But the stalwarts do not care fig
forthe Constitution, and will tram
pie it under foot today as did Lin
coin and the patriot hosts from 81
to 'G5. 'g .','' VIZ
Weof to-day know what we need
better than did. the men of T6an rs.
We thank the Fathers for their
rich heritage of wisdom.
But we have no special use for
their Ignorance.
We are wiser than they were;
For we have all their wisdom and
more than century's experience be-
sides.
They had their Revolution in '76
we had ours incl.
They founded Confederacy, we
foundeda Nation.

You are right in your statement.
Major McCown was one of the first
men in the county of Mason, who
joined the Union army. 1t shows
the strait to which Republicans
are driven to defeat good man.
