degree OF vehemence that the Union cause was
right and the rebel cause was wrong during the

shirt paper

AUBURN Dispatch: The trouble is all with
sckly sentimentaity, the name of Davis to
position among the martyrs and heroes of the

than man of keen intellect, great cowardico

the impressions in false and foolish lights. Da.
Wis is no martyr He is traitor who has escaped
death through Northern generosity.

how would Northern Democrats help them,
