Jefferson, the greatiapostie and found

called the democratic party, set forth
principles which were the very life
blood of our national pn>perity; and
from the perusing of; that immortal
document, the Declaration of Inde
pendence, juitilrtbe present time, his
name has been immortalized by tbe
historian, and his praises sung by the
admiring bard. Strange, however, as
it'appears to ns, yet true it is, tbat a
•very consfdeifable proportion of the
professed followers of Jefferson and
the'worshipers of the name of De
mocracy, have allied themselveswith
traitors and are foandbattlingagainst
the true creed -of their, party, apd
seeking the .destruction of onr glori

yet some small copperheads ask you
to believe that only a .lew renegades
support the Administration in their
faithful prosecution of tihe war. But
let us name a few of those renegades.
Ohl whit a noble list,and bow lengthy!
It would.compnse nearly all the men
