patriots OF our country from its infancy, in de-
clining 81 invitation of the New York City
Joint League to unite with them at Utica,
says: Ia answer to the invitation, I beg
leave to remark that the necessity of the con-
templated assemblage al Utica, unless it be 3
political movement for partisan ends, is not
very apparent to ne; at no period of the re-
bellion has greater unauimity prevailed in the
Northern States than at the present time, TO
preserve the integrity of the Union and the
constitutional rights Of its citizens and equal
ly unanimous appears to be the conviction Of
the utter incompe,ency OF the National Ad-
ministration 10 conduct our civil and military
affairs, so as to bring the cruel war, which is
rending asunder our great Republic, TO sue
cessful termination. The devoted loyalty Of
the veterans requires the endorsement of no
man" And after reciiing the order issued to
the veterans of 1872. Immediately after the
John Brown raid into Virginia and warning
them that war was at hand. and to be ready
as of yore, TO battle for the old flag.


He again says: " The veterans, as far as
represent them, 90 for the entire Union, and
the suppression Of the rebellion by force Of
arms, if practicable, but they regard the Ad-
ministration of President Lincoln in reference
to these ends, patriotic though it be, as mis-
| calculating and inefficient aud to support it By
large majorities would be to confirm it in pal
pable error: and that a change in its disas-
trous policy may be made by throwing it into
minority at the elections, and thus showing
it that it had lost the confidence of tie nation"


This venerable patriot, now past his four
score years, and hero of the battles Of the
second war of our Independence, thus speaks
to tie people Of the country he SO much loves
and has done so much for. But be must be a
Copperhead" " and q traitor" under the
modern definition of Democrat, because he
advises change Of the Administration, aud
does not recognize the Government and the
temporary Executive thereof as one and the
same thing. In other words he does not think
that President Lincoln is the Constitution of
the United States.


The General is one of those who, from his
age and position, serves to connect the present
generation with our revolutionary fathers, and
by his sage counsels to warn the people of
their perilous situation in clinging TO the here
sizes and disorganizing ideas of policy of the
present party in power. He calls upon the
people to steer clear of this disastrous policy
by throwing that party into minority at the
elections, aud thus show that the Admlnistra.
ton has lost the confidence Of the nation II is
to the warnings and teachings of such men as
the venerable General that we should look for
guidance in these troublous times. He has
pointed the way, let the people follow.

" The proceedings were disgracelul to all the

kind Of figure do these individuals cut before
the public for positions they have disgra'ed ?
Is it not an insult to the Intelligence of the
people TO foist such men upon a ticket and
compacenty to ask them 20 support the
whole ticket? To say that these disgracetul

all Cannon.


How lar can the patience Of the people be
thus abused by the disgracelul acts OF their
servants? Is there no corrective to be ad-
mnistered to such men, but to put all decency
at defiance, and demand the outraged people
to carry them again to their befoued nests?
