now seeks to divide and destroy the Republic.
THE SITUATION.
The Washington Carronicle of this morning
says: Gen. grant Is progressing well In the siege
of Vicksburg. A dispatch was received from him
at headquarters yesterday that he was getting
on very satisfactorily,and he felt himself amply
competent to take care of any force that might
come in his rear. libe reports of his death,
which have been maliciously circulated by se
cession sympathizirs -in Washington, have no
foundation. Repeated assaults have been made
upon the rebel . works, and at every trial some
thing has been gained. The rebels are losing
heart every day. They have lost all their field
artillery, and what is more, we have gained it.
We do not think we hazard anything in proph
esying that Vicksburg is now occupied by our
forces, and that a vast quantity of,. stores end
ammunition and a large number of prisoners
have been taken. We hope that a very few
days will announce to us the complete capture
of the "Gibraltar of the West."
Ifhe Dilemma of the Copperheads.
The copperhead leaders of Pennsylvania,
when they made issue with the National Ad
ministration, on the policy of suppressing armed
rebellion with armed force, fell into the same
mistake which first induced the slave drivers
to revolt. The slave drivers of.the south have
always asserted the cowardice; the unwilling
ness to fight of the masses of the north or free
States. Th 43 faith in the cowardice of the peo
ple of the free States, was derived from the
cringing manner in which, for . years, the rep
resentatives of northern States and districts_in_
Conzress.„ _auhreit+ 4+..-urclatron - fif the
southern, element. That representation was for
years composed largely of the locofoco species.
The delegation from this State, from Ohio,
New York and the- other powerfurDommon
wealtiur of the east and the west, was imbued
so strongly with locofoco dough-faceism, that
the crack of the slave driver's 'whip was all
that was necessary to control the "yeas and
nays" as it suited the slave driver's interest
The representatives of the South - infused the
opinion which was thus forced-upon them, of
the abject cowardice of the northern people,
into the minds of their constituents ; while the
miserable dough-faces who thus degraded them
selves to the uses of their political masters, ac
tuaLly flattered themselves with the notion that
they really reflected north, eastern and western
manliness as well as politics, and that as they
had been accustomed to licking the dust from
the slave driver's feet, their constituents too.
forsooth, would cast themselves upon their
bellies and crawl before the seine audacious
masters. It was this faith which prompted the
slave drivere to organize their conspiracy. It
was attachment to the same belief, which in
duced their Democratic allies to oppose the war
policy of the National Administration. The
first believed that the offer of armed resistance
would at once awe the North into acceding to
any terms. The latter hoped;that the opposi
tion to the Administration would' cause those
in authority to shrink from appealing to the
masses for support, and that the result of the
rebellion would be, first, the triumph of slavery,
then the vindication of Democracy, and last,
the overthrow and humiliation of the party in
power. It was calculated to do all this, without
disturbing the Government. The slave driving
conspirators and the Democracy had soarrang
ed their theories and proclaimed tlieir dcctrines
that eulministration and government were made to
assume different aspects and mean different
thingt The world was to be hood-winked
with the idea that the slave drivers, with the
assistance of the Democracy, could trample on
an administration after it was inaugurated,
could defy its authority and spit upon its rule,
and still the Government would be uninjured,
unimpaired in its majesty and force. This
monstrous doctrine was the life giving force of
the rebellion, was the justification of Demo
cratic refusal to aid the Admlnistratiori in crush
ing the conspiracy.
—lt is now hard to tell which of the two
pirties have been most disappointed in their
estimate of the Northern people. The slave
holders were misled by the bemocracy, while
the Democracy deceived themselveS. The esti
mate of Northern valor, courage and capacity
to carry on the war, has proyen to be a fatal
error to those who had calculated on its defi
ciency or incapacity. The rebels stand appalled
before a unanimity which, thpy ,were taught to
b3lieve could never be produced among the
Northern people. The poltroon politicians of
the North, the miserable lick-spittles who have
so often betrayed Northern interests in labor and
commerce, to satisfy Southern demands for the
protection, development and extension of
slavery, are amazed' at the force which they
so often depreciated, and stand shivering in
terror before the majesty and power of a people
whom they have so often betrayed. Hence the
effort or 020 leading Democratic loliticians to
counterac the epirit which pervades the largest
number of the returning soldiers, who came back
lutes ified in their abhorence of treason,resolved
in their determination not only to crush out that
which is arrayed in arms in the South, but also
that which secrets itself in the North in sym
pathy for the same treason. The leaders of tl e
Democracy have nothing more to do, but to
continue to support the rebellion and op
pose the Government by denouncing the Ad
ministration. There is no middle ground left
for them to occupy. Hence their dilemma. They
have deceived themselves and the foes of the
country of which they are the natural
allies, by depreciating the capacity of the
Government and the devotion of the MEWS(*)
Thus Left, the dilemma in which these tories
find themselves is indeed awful. It has
but one parallel in history, that of the betrayal
of the Son of God by Judas ; and to preserve
Abe identity, the betrayers in this instance must
either bang themselves or they shonabe speedi
ly hung by the fair judgment of the law. Truly,
a horrible dilemma for-the leaders of copper
head Democracy!
Who Are Against the Government)
When we look seriously at the men of the South
engaged in the effort to destroy the Union, we
are impressed with the similarity which exists
between those conspiratots and certain parties
In the North, who are assuming such novel po
sitions in the conflict now raging. The traitors
of the South declared, when they began to se
cede from the Union, that they were tired of
the Government. Just about that time, power
and patronage had departed from the control of
the Democratic party, and with that departure
the prestige and influence.of Southern institu
tions showed their fiat signs of decay. Hence
the people of the South,.or rather the few thou
sand slave owners who represent all that there
is of interest in that section, resolved to destroy
the Government. They went to work deliber
ately. They had prepared themselves for the
attempt. The issue was made thus: If Lin
coln is elected, then is the assurance plain that
the energy of, the nation is to be devoted to
freedom, and slavery can have no fellowship In
such a Government. It was the wrong which
the election of Lincoln was supposed to have
inflicted on slavery that induced the slave
States to strike against the Government ; and
at this point we are brought to the similarity
between the Southern armed traitors and the
Northern sympathizers with treason. The one
antagonizes the Government, because in the
mighty progress and development of that Gov
ernment slavery is threatened with destruc
tion. The others oppose, not, as they protege,
the Government, but the Administration, be
cause that Administration, by its defence of- a
Government whose free principles are opposed
to slavery„"interferee seriously with partisan
Democraoy. Whatever affects slavery iinpaire
Democracy! A war for the defence of the
`rongg of the one could not fail, sooner or later,
to involve the other, because where the wrongs
of the one Ignnid 'mere the
corruption of the other.might reasonably hourly
anticipate annihilation. Hence, while the
Democratic slave drivers are striking at the
Government, the natural allies of those traitors,
the Democratic leaders of the North, are strik
ing at the Administration. The object sought
after is one and the same, notwithstanding the
points assailed are -different and separate. If
the slave drivers destroy the Government, the
.Administration goes to pieces hi the general,
wreck, and of course the sympathizers with sla
very treason in the North would have nothing
left to fight. Thus, on the other hand, if
the treason sympathizers destroy the Adminis
tration, there could be no Government left—
no force, no power with life and ability in it to
contend with traitors, and therefore the slave
drivers would have nothing to do butannounce
to the world the triumph of their schemes, ea
lablish their government on the ruins of the
Republic, exile or outlaw all who battled for
freedom, and invite thtit allies to sit down
with them at a feast in honor of the burial of
all the symbols of the only free Government on
the face of the globe.
Hereafter, whenever a man is heard opposing
the Administration, be certain to put him dowri
es a traitor, not a traitor is disguise, because
his action is open and deliberate to destroy the
Government. He opposes the Administration
'to aid the traitors of the South. He does not
oppose it to aid those who are fighting these
traitors, but simply and plainly and practically
to aid the success of the rebellion. Here is the
point to which all loyal men must hold the
hypocrites who thus assert the right and insist on
the use ti the power to oppose the Administra
tion. It is treason, because it gives encourage
ment to traitors. It is meant to huiry the de
struction of the Government, because it seeks
the embarrassment of those engaged in efforts for
the defence. There is no more difference be.
tween the men who fight In arms against the '
Government and those who bluster in words
against the Administration, than there is be
tween the villain who secures the victim while
the assassin cuts the throat of the podr wretch.
Let loyal men not be deceived by the claim which
seeks to establish any difference in this partial
lar. Let them, too, oppose the Northern foe
of the Administration as strongly and as boldly
as the Southern enema of the Government is
opposed. Both are the enemies of the Union.
Both are engaged for its complete destruction
and until both are overthrown,there will be no
peace in the land. _
Joint VAN BIIBIN t at the late Madison square .
meeting in New York, told his abolition hearers
that he "believed the next President will . be a
Democrat," andjilso stated that he thought be
would vote 'for a Democrat at the .next Presi
dential election. It wss predicted when Prince
John got off the.petnocmtic stage', that it would
not be long untiPhe would be running after it
to get on again. NoW, the question is, will the
passengers allow him to get on. We say to the
driver 4.‘ent bebind."—Copperhead Organ.
There is no necessity for your giving this ad
vice to your driver to "cut behind." It lispot
your stage that John Van Buren. will, be after
trying to get on. It was not your pirty of
Copperhead Democracy that he alluded to.—
Nothing of the sort.. We say too, as did Mr.
Tan Buren, that we are inclined to think the
next President will be a Demot:. but he won't
be of the Val land ighamer- Wow - . -Seymour- and-
Cessna kidney. And we expect too to vote for a
Democrat for the next President, should one to
nominated—such o. man, for instance, as Gen
Butler, Andy Johuson,Daniel S. Dickinson, Gen.
Dix, or Jos. A. Wright. It was this kind of Dem
ocrat John Van Buren meant, and very likely he
had one of these men in his mind when he spoke.
There is no difference between these men and
such Republicans as Cameron, Chase, Banks,
Seward, Blair, or any of those prominently
identified with the Rimblican party, on the
great question of suppressing the rebellion and
maintaining the Government—and this is the
only question of importance that can divide men
into two parties—those of patsfota and traitors,
friends and enemies of the country. We expect
that one of the men we have named will be "the
next President," and we expect to vote for him,
along with John Van Buren and every other
true friend of the Republic.' .
A SHORT Soar.—The State Teachers' Asso
ciation of Indiana, numbering 170 teachers, at
their late meeting summed up the political
situation.in a very few words by unanimously
adopting the following platform:
Reeolved, 1. That - the Union -Government is
right and the rebellion wrong.
Resolved, 2. That we will sustain lige right
sand oppose the wrong by all the l egitimate
means God has placed in our power.

WASHINGTON, May so.
The Medical inspector, •Dr. G. I. Johnson,
has recently inspected the corps hospitals at
Acquia and Potomac creeks, and will soon sub
mit to the Department a detailed report.
Then hospitals exhibit a remarkable exemp
tion from mortality in the surgical operations.
This is attributable to the excellent physical
condition of the men previous to the battle, as
well as to the completeness of the arrangements
and skillful medical attendance in the hospital.
Scarcely a Case . of amputation has terminated
fatally.
An amputation of the hip joint was performed
in the second division, first corps hospital, an
operation which is almost invariably followed by
death, and consequently has, it is said, been
discarded in European and American surgery.
The patient Is now in a fair way of recovery.
The non commissioned officers and privates of
the New York 9th State Militia to-day presented
Dr. Charles J. NOrdguist, Chief Surgeon, Sec
and Diirision, First Corps, with a superb Amerl:
can chronometer and massive chain, valued at

WASHINGTON, May $9.
Dispatches from Gen, Grant, dated near Vicki
burg, May 28, have been received at the War
Department. to-day.
They represent the siege of Vicksburg as pro
gressing satisfactorily, and that Gen. Grant is
abundantly able to maintain his investment of
the town and repel any attack upon his rear.
Forty-five hundred rebel prisoners, captured
by Gen. Grant, arrived at Memphis io-day.
MuRFRUSBOIto, Tenn., May 28, 1883.—Be
ports from highly respectable sources represent
that General Grant, since Sunday, had made
something like a general attack upon the rebel
works at Vicksburg, and failed to carry them;
that he had thereupon concluded that the•place
was too strong to be taken by assault, and had
opened a terrible and sustained fire upon it
with his artillery.
General Johnston had not yet attacked Gen.
Grant, but was still collecting forces in his rear.
He had managed to send word to the garrison
that if they should hold out fifteen days he
would raise the siege with au army of one
hundred thousand men. He also said he
would do this if he abandoned every other
point in - his department.
It was not supposed the city could possibly
hold out longer than to-day. .
Parties who entered our lines today from the
South report that Breckinridge and. Crother's
divisions of Bragg's army were on their way
South.
All is quiet at this point. The runqrs of a
formidable rebel demonstration on our right are
hardly confirmed. Some portion of the enemy's
vidette line has been retired.
