The Ashland, Ohio, '.,, a jtapcr

find words too bitter to describe our ar
mies: "Hired Hessians going to the sunny South
ern soil to butsber by wholesale not foreign
ers, bat (3;Vt r.irn, as exemplary Christians
as any of onr own men This is a
damned abolition war. We believe Abe
Lincoln is as much of a traitor as Jefferson

In a speech before the Lansing (Mich-

1?03, .Mr. George W. Peck declared,' '

A tract, extensively' circulated b the
Democratic Committee of I ennsylvanta,
in the canvass of 1864, thus addressed
the citizens of the State ; - r
FiRMSEs, m'H of the rnlui rrMu .' This
abolition business has .ibtoackh your farms

At the Chicago Convention, of conn,
this feeling found full and free expression.
The Rev,C. Chauneey Burr exolaimed,
"We had no right to burn their wheat flolds,
steal their pianos, spoons or jewelry. Mr.
Lincoln had stolen a good many thousand ne

would appear, however, as though tbeir
only influence was to excito . regret at
their prompt suppression, for, they were
immediately followed by a systematic
process) of again stimulating opposition
to the point of resistance. Scarcely was
the month ont, when the "New York
States' Riatkta : Association'-' jabliahed a
"Declaration" in which it tck the
ground that,
The cf flofliaoaty called fbc Couscrift Acf
does invade the sovereignty and jurisdiction
of this State, and unsurp rights essencial to

Gorernor Seymour af quite ready

Tte hi letter of August f, 1S53.
MtLincoln, he says : '

Mr. William B. R4y tf course, was
ao( Vtfcind head in the endeavor to Ten
der the h edioi. In his Meadville
speech, September 17, 1863, he remarked :
."Sow what shall I say of He luer Feder

forced on the fcecks of those wbd not uh

No time was lost In gutting a decUiou j
adverse to the Act, and on November 10,
the Democratic Judge! of th? Si'preme
Court of Pennsylvania, Lowrie, Wood
rarJ, "d Thompsoc, pronouncod it un

judgment waa promptly shown by the

the neonle under its pressure should en-

deavrjr to avert it by volunteering, the
Age proceeded to argue that no danger of
ot a collission with the authorities was
, - ; -
, however, to be feared, for
' "War there na better reaaw-). it wwnW be

It is not possible that such collisions will be
provoked, and we eonelude, therefore, that for
the preseut the penplff Penntyh-ania are re
lieved from the frrori of the conTy.ffon."
And Conjscrase) wst :aft:ely orgaoiaed
before Mr. rfcllif Johnson, a Demo'JMlh
representative from 1'eniBylvinia, mtro
duced a resolution requiring the Presi
dent either to aqniesce ia the decision of
the State tribunal or to submit the ques
tion to the U. S. Supreme Court, then
under Chief Tustice Taney. For this
ohslruCliTe tnsasure the !emocratic mem
bers, with the exception of four, voted ia
a solid body. - What ia known fea the
Columbia Cottnty Conspiracy, an armed
and organized resistance to the law, ' was
the fcatwe! esWyU rs these teachings.
The privilege t?f commutation had been
the chief point of attack bv the Ienio
ctats, but ita rcBtoval only intensified
their bittercoe. At the Chicago Conven
tion the draft wa? the subject of th most
itiflsffiCiatory appeals to the people-
Thus, the Hon. James II. Reed, of In
dianna, eaid : -
He advianl open and aqt-board I'eais
tance to the draft. If Linccln and his satraps
attempted to enforce it. bbrd Would flow in
our streets, and it woald be right it should
Sow. Lincoln wa already damned to all
eternity, atxi he did not know if even this in
iauitions nieir Would materially affect the
estimation in which the people held hi in
lie alvised his bearers to shoot down those
wh3 wSuld enforce the draft ; to resist 13 the
