The La Cro..e, Democrat, the leading
expounder of Copperlwadism, and the
favorite of the elite of "I)emocracy " in
Lancaster, is heavy on the Blairs in its
issue of July Gth. We give a few speci
men bricks :
" To have one of thin. pestilent Blair fitmily
talking thus oracularly ahout the atiitirs of the
Democratic lofty is the most impudent thing
of the (lay. What haNTthe iihdis in common
with the , Democratic patty ( ill Blair has
been virulently working against it, and doingit
all the harm in his power, fit'• more than twenty
years, and dining all this time—embracing the
whole of their political lives—the young Bialys
have been ready and active co-workers with
their fhther in I , e(ling his lade and ministering
to his thirst of vengeance against the Demo
cratic party." * • * • • •
"The military member of the Blair family made
his first demonstration ia the field by leading
his regiment of brutal ruffians against the un
armed populace of St. Louis, indiscriminately
shooting down, in the crowded streets, men,
women and children. murdering by wholesale
an unolfending population, and committing a
deed of cruelty blacker and more unpardonable
than any of which the infitmous Suwarrow was
ever guilty, and, in contrast with which, the
acts of woman-whipping Haynau, whom the
sturdy and indignant brewers of London so
mercilessly hooted and pelted, appear decent
and humane." • • * • • •
"The elder Blair, like a spirit of evil, thrusting
himself into the dark conclaves of the con
spirators against public liberty, and instigating
the wasting and destroying of the South for
grudges of well-nigh forty years - standing, con
ceived and cherished because her leading men
—Calhoun, McDuff°, Bowan, Bibb, Tazewell,
Troup, Davis and others—always scorned him
as a mercenary adventurer, and refused to re
cognize him in society." *
" itis this Blair family, whose history is thus
truthfully sketched, which now claims position
and a vote in the Democratic party, and even
assumes to dictate its nomination. In fact, it
has the modesty to claim the nomination for
one of its own members—the butcher of St.
Louis—the nice young gentleman who so
adroitly balanced between the Speakership and
a Brigadier Generalship, and to whom Lincoln
so kindly tossed the latter when the former was
not to be caught.
"Has the. Democratic party fallen so low as
to be used by such creatures? Is it so craven
as to allow such fellows to say what it shall do
or what it shall not do? Think of it! Look
it over ! 0, the sublimity of this fellow's con
ceit!" * 4 , *
And thus Brick " pitches in" ganerally.
This is the picture presented to the Ku-
Klux, Copperhead, rebel "Democracy,"
of its candidate for Vice-President, by its
loading organ, so much admired and pa
tronized by the party all over the coun
try. The party has "fallen so low" as to
nominate Frank Blair, and Brick Pome
roy is low enough to swallow the dose, for
nothing is too nasty for a Copperhead
rebel " Democratic" stomach.
One night reeently, as Mrs. Esther
Stansbury was about to bring a bucket of
water from the hydrant, she found a bas
ket suspended from the knob of the front
door. Putting her hand into the basket,
she felt something alive and kicking, but
so enveloped in rags that no ihrther dis-

A COPPERHEAD OPINION OF THEIR CAN

An Astonished Husband.
ER, PA., FRIDAY, JULY IS6B.
MME
covert/ could be made vithout unwrap
ping the object. A piece of paper folded
like a letter lay by the side of the ani
mated bundle. Mrs. Stansbury immedi
ately turned into the house, and by the
light of the lamp she examined the billet.
It - was addressed to her husband. She
tremulously broke the seal In,il read as
To Jot:. ST.A.xsin - ur : 1 ,ond you ti e

P. S.—Don't let that sharp nes,2,l
yours seo this letter. Gammon her wail some
kind of a story about the baby. N.
Alr. Stansbury was in the kitchen,
quietly eating his supper, and little im
agining what a storm was hrewiia over
his head. The door was violently thrown
open, and Mrs. S.'s voice yelled :
" Stansbury, you villain, mite here;
here's a mess for you!"
The astonished Stansbury hastily
washed his mouth and obeyed the sum
mons.
Don't you want to see Nancy, the
heart-broken Nancy?" cried Mrs. titans
bury.
" Nancy ! what Nancy's that`:" said
the sly old rogue, in well-feigned perplex
ity.
Why, Nancy, the mother of the baby
that's been hung at your door, Mr. Stans
bury. Oh, ou look mighty innocent ;
but
. just read that letter and then look in
that basket. Don't be afraid, it won't
bite—it's got no teeth, poor thing! you'll
know it; as your hussy says it's just
like you all over. Please goodness, I'll
expose you 'before everybody."
In lc than five initiates' 'sirs. Stans
bury had collected a room full of specta
tors to witness the unwrapping of the
baby. Anxious expectations sat on every
countenance as the jealous lady tore away
rag after rag from the body of the found
ling, the vigorous movements of which
astonished everybody.
It is full of the devil already," said
Mrs. S., " that shows it is his ; you'll see
that it is like him in every thing."
At last the swaddling clothes being re
moved, out jumped the baby and made
its escape through the open door. It was
a large torn cat. The Stansbury's had
been victimized by a practical joke.
The following stirring address has
been issued by the Soldiers' Republican
organization of this State, which has al_
ready commenced its labors, and will be
heard from in due time:
HEADQUARTERS SOLDIERS' AND SAILORS' STATE
CENTRAL COMMITTEE, 105 CHESTNUT STREET,
PHILADELPHIA, July 6, 1868.
COMBA.DES : When the rebel armies were
overthrown and the rebel leaders forgiven by
our magnanimous Chief, the whole world
wondered at the generosity which pardoned
men guilty of so great a crime. The least
we expected was that the Government for
which we had fought, and for which so many
had given up their lives, was secured against
the possibility of another conspiracy. But,
warned by history and taught by our own
experiencethe misguided people of
tlieboamong
South, wemaintained our organizations,
and now, in the forefront of the wisdom of
that decision. So thoroughly have our mili
tary brothers re-united themselves, that only
a few who wore the Union blue can be indu
ced to join the ranks of the rebel Demccracy.
Our camps extend east and west, from the
Atlantic to the Pacific ; and there is not a
veteran who does not realize that the public
danger may once more call him to the field.
The alarming spectacle of a formal combina
tion between the two great columns of trea
son—the rebel army of the South and the
rebel sympathizers of the North—is the living
proof of great impending calamities. These
desperate men—the one side still vaunting
their treason against the country, and the
other still boasting of the aid and comfort ex
tended to them—profess to be confident of
success in the approaching election. The
animosity they bore to our beloved Command
er-in-Chief—now the candidate of the great
Republican party—survives the hollow grati
tude with which they hailed his liberal terms
of peace ; and now, rembering only that he
struck them in the field, and coldly forgetting
how he forgave their great offence, they are
toiling with superhuman energy to defeat
him for the Presidency, and to place in that
high office a fit successor of its present guilty
occupant. Their hatred of Grant extends to
all of our heroic leaders, with one or two ex
ceptions. The only offence of these accom
plished soldiers is their fidelity to the country
for which they fought. Gen. George U.
Thomas in Tennessee, Gen. Irwin McDowell
in Mississippi, Gen. George G. Meade in Geor
gia, General Canby in South Carolina, and
Gen. Reynolds in Texas, with their predeces
sors, Sheridan, Sickles, Pope, Swayne and
Mower, are prescribed and slandered like
common felons, while every Union man in
the South, black and white, is subjected to
inconceivable cruelty and oppression. This
wholesale malevolence, looking directly to I
the restoration of the rebel government,
teaches us not only the wisdom and justice of
our organization, but invokes us to renewed

So we go. Republicans! Os TO VICTORY!
The Howe of General Grant
The home of General Grant is an agree
able one to the visitor, and plainly shows
the nature and taste of the occupant.
Tall walnut book cases surround three
sides of the library. Everything relating
to the business of war is there, and his
tories in abundance. The usual display
of fiction, essays, biography, philosophy,
and works of general information and re
ference line the shelves. On the mantle
is a cigar stand, a bronzed statue of a
drummer, and another of a bugler. En
gravings of Washington, Lincoln, Sher
nmn and Sheridan, and several photo
graphs of Rogers' statuettes are the only
pictures in the room. Easy chairs and
lounges are placed carelessly about the
room, and the library is without doubt
the most cheerful and inviting apartment
in the house. A miniature - saddle and
trappings, in bronze and silver, is fasten
ed to cross sabres of the same metal. A
bronze drum rests' beside a stack of six
inch muskets ; a cigar case from the home
of Burns ; a half dozen curiously formed
and elaborately decorated pipes and
cigar-holders ; powder-horns mounted in
gold and silver, each having its separate
history, and a hundred rare little articles
of vertu adorn the tables and mantles.
On a side table, in tin boxes, are the five
military commissions of colonel, briga
dier general, major general, lieutenant '
ener - al, and general, with the parch
ments of brevet ranks which Grant has
received. Some very costly albums,
prayer books and bibles are also upon
the table. An oil painting of Sheridan
and one of McPherson are prominently
hung in the parlors, and a marble bust
and engraving of President Lincoln are
also conspicuous.

In the very hest of the short bicTra
phies of Grant printed since his nomina
tion for President. (that of Gen. James
G. 1 ,Vi1,,,0n) we Mid the following : "As
whatever appertains to the illustrious
soldier is of universal interest, we must
pause fora moment, and devote a para
graph to his family. His eldest son,
Frederick, a youth of eighteen, is now a
cadet at West Point, where Admiral
Farrafrut's son is also being educated,
and is the hold little fellow who accom
panied his father throughout the Vicks
bur!r campaign. Another son, some
tifteoto years ef age, is named Ulysses,
and his only daughter, called Nellie, is a
sunny dispositioncd and merry young
lady, whom everybody loves ; w hil e th e
youngest son, known as Jesse, and we
esume named after his worthy grand
-,
father, is a bright lad, who sometimes
appears dressed in Highland costume, the
garb of his Gtelic ancestors. The family
therefore consists of the General and
Mrs. Grant, three sons, and their only
daughter, Miss Nellie.

ANDEIIONVILLE PnisoN.—The stock
ade is standing, as at the close of the
war, except here and there a log rotted
or and fallen to the ground. :Decay is
doing its rapid work, and in a few years
not a log will be standing to mark the
spot where so many noble men starved
and died. Time and the negroes too,are
rapidly changing the inside of the pen.
The cabins have been torn in pieces for
the sake of the wood which they contain
ed, and the excavations in the side bill,
on the north, have mostly fallen in, soft
ened by the rain and the frosts. The
wells alone, forty of them, which our
boys dug in search of water, remain as
they were, and only too forcibly remind
one of the terrible battle they fought for
life. lint though they went down into
the earth eighty feet in some instances,
yet they seldom found the treasure which
they sought.
--T
WHEN ell'. Davis denounced Abraham
Lincoln as a tyrant and despot, the Dem
ocrats echoing his words said : "Abra
ham Lincoln is a tyrant and a despot."
Jeff. Davis ridiculed the greenbacks. So
did the Democrats. At last, Jeff. Davis
said: "You can never conquer the South."
And then the Democrats met in Conven
tion at Chicago, at the very crisis (.4 our
national agony, when we had 600,000
men in the field or dying in the hospitals,
who were calling to us, "Give us aid,
send down more men ; we will die here,
so that the nation shall live." And the
answer came down from the Chicago
Convention, "You cannot put down the
Rebellion ; we declare that the war is a
failure ; and we demand a cessation of
hostilities.''
.111.
ALL that is ncces , ary to make us vie
torious, North and South, is to show that
the movement of the rebel Democracy
simply to restore the rebel governine
to overthrow the acts of reconstruct:
and to encourage repudiation.
