Jlajor Tlioiiius M'l.iiugliliii.
In our paper of la-t week, in a short j
article, wo critic sod the consistency of ;
Major McLaughlin, for lending the inflii- |
cnceof his presence and name to what
we believe to be, a disloyal organization. ;
Immediately on the appearance of our
piper, the .Major ami his tpccml friends t
(our Copperhead .neighbors) became very
m leh excited. «hd. bkc a hive of 1 ces .
when their seap had been rashly distur
bed, might be seen buzzing iu every di- |
wet ion. Physicians, with a full know- J
ledge of the character of both the uiedi
iciae and disease, may still be disappoin-|
(ed as to the results of their treatment ol'j
jiutients, on account of want of knowledge !
as to the strength of the consti.ution to '
Le operate ! upon. A dose of Epaeec for !
instance, that wool 1 only slightly disturb j
■the stomach of oiic patient, would prove ]
a severe emetic for another. It was in I
this respect that wo were soiuewhot dis- j
appointed in the effect produced by the ;
above, upon the Major and his friends. —
We only intended to slightly disturb the
fcilcon their stomachs, but. to our surprise. !
it proved to be strong enough to lot tliem j
throw up -liuely—in laet aim-st throwing
them into spasms!
The Jl-nihl of Saturday last, re-produ- i
icoa our article, with commeuts. and grafts ,
into its article a letter written by Lt. Ly- j
nil—so far us that article refers to us per
sonally, we care n .thing about it its ill- !
siun itiou has been denied before, every ;
time it rojieats it, it utters an unqualified
falsehood. We do not mean to say tint j
the editor of the // mlt is not a gentle- !
man, but we do say that three
fourthr of all that-is sai i in that paper,
editorially, iu refereU'C to the Republican
party,or those who are laboring for its.
domination, is unadulterated falsehood ! •
As to Lieutenant Lion's letter, it has
no bcariug whatever on the matter in
question, save that it shows that wc were
right in presuming that the Major was a
private citizen, and not homo on a "short
visit" from his Regiment, as the Ji raUl
would have us believe, in leed it is quite
natural that, if desired, he should write
such a letter us he has written. Had it
becu written to us, we would have pub
lished it with pleasure.
The only controversy that wc will have
.with the Major or hia friends, is las rela
tions to a disloyal organization—and it
must be remembered, that, when he took
leave of his llegiment, as also wheu Lt.
Lyon wrote his letter, the Major had not
foiuially joined bis fortunes with the
Copperhead party, by jcccpting a scat
among the uffieors of the meeting on
Court week. Now how doos tho matter
stand ? Three yearn ugo last harvest,
Capt. M'Laughlin went out with oue of
tho best companies that went into the ser
vice that year; moc-t of otjr yoqqg i)cigh
bors were in it, wc encouraged them to
go in this company, because wc had con
fidence that with the Captain at its head,
it would give a good account of itself.—
As we have no controversy as to the Cap
tains military career, wc pass over two
years, and come to the canvass between
Curtin and Woodward. The captain had
in the meantime become Major, and was
absent from his llegiment (either on dc
tatchcd duty or sick furlaugh wc believe)
we saw him in Pittsburgh the day of Cur
tin's nomination. We will not refer to
anything that ever passed between him
and us, but will say that from several sour
ces, wc were informed that he had decla
red in favor of the Union ticket. Later
iu the crmpaign (perhaps when old party
affinities began to revive) lie wrote, as
we were informed, to his old company,
that he would vote for neither candidate!
Later in the canvas he made up his uiind
to vote for Woodward. Thus settingatide
his former declarations, as also disregar
ding the united voire of his old company,
not more thau threcof whom would touch.
Woodward. The Democratic party oc
cupied a very doubtful position in this
state at that time, while in Connects n,
Ohio and elsewhere it stood squarely op
posed to the war. It has made great ad-
I \ance, however since then on its road
! to a peace platform, which amounts to
i disunion. Now it is much more pleasant
i to eulogise than condemn ; but when du
ty requires we will not on that account
withoid criticism.
We certainly have no personal feelings
iu this matter, wc have always res pee ed
the Major prrsunttUy, have known him
twenty-four years, and have uo knowledge
of anything t!>it should inspire us with
other feelings towards him than respect, j
Politically it is otherwise. Put wc are
told that our attack upon him was uncalled i
for and will create quite a feeling in liis j
old llegiment! From our general know
ledge ol' the matter we incline to the im
pression that he ha? not been very much j
with the regiment sines becoming Major,
sickness and detached duty we think, have
[ both prevented liiui; certainly his most j
| ardent and exhausting labors were, when j
I ('apt. of Co. 11. his old company ; in it !
wo have no doubt are found, his warmest |
j friends—of that Co. its feelings and sym- j
pathies we claim to have some knowledge;
and we feel safe in saying that no act of |
ours, however extreme,could be so distast- [
ful to members of that Co. as was the
Major's votinu' for Woodward last fall ;
. I
and in *his matter we know whereof we j
affirm; and distastful as we know that was, ;
his recent associations will be eveu more I
si). For we venture the prediction that,
there will not be more than six or seven ;
votes for Little Mac iu the whole com- ;
pany. _
And now in conclusion, we would ask !
the Major to firimtah/ r? fleet upon his po- j
sit ion. He has quit the service, as he j
says, because of his ••advanced age," we j
think therefore that he is not so excusa
ble as those in the full cnjoymcDtof youth, j
fur a tenacious adhcranco to party. . Par- i
ti ■-! , 'ia\o undergone some chi ng >s since
h" hist mingled with tliem. The I' nioti ;
party has perhaps moved forward, while 1
the Democratic has moved backward.— |
The Major has, as we believe, been on- I
gaged in an honorable warfare, for the j
preservation of th s Union, and in that
has doubtless done his while duty; the J
men in whoso cquipany ho was recently j
found say it was not such a warfare, that j
it was murder. We believe that the
Union army is as bravo and patriotic as |
any army ever organized, an 1 much more j
intelligent. The President of the meet-1
ing of which the Major was ice Presi
dent. has said, that one rebel is equal to j
three Union-soldiers, in point of courage
ami daring—and that Gen. Me lellan
knew this fact so well that lie would nn'
ri-k a buttla unless when outnumbering .
his adversary three 11 one. The daugh- j
ters of Homo of the leaders here, have in- !
suited Union soldiers by hutrahiug for '
.Jefferson Davis, nn 1 by declaring that the •
Union army was a mere label. ■ The
Chicago convention declared that four
years of War was a fuiluic! Does the.
Major think so?
All over the north-west, the leaders of
the Democratic party have goue into the j
disloyal organization called the sons of I
liberty—perhaps two-thirds of the party i
in the west is iu tlii-: oath-bouud organi
tion. They have been procuring arms for j
the purpose of opposing the Government 1
and assisting the invasion, which the reb
el armies were to undertake. A few
weeks since a friend wrote us from Ohio,
that where he was,-they were openly or- ,
ganiziugund drilling preparitory for open i
resistance to the draft! At the head of !
ail this is C. L. Yuluudighum, and other
known leaders of the Democracy.
After Mr Lincoln issued his call for
the 500.000 men, last called out, we in the
course of a conversation with one of the
Democrats of this towo, said to him "why !
cau we not goto work as heretofore, united
ly encourage volunteering." Ilis answer
was*' it cannot be done. No Democrat !
will hence forth go into the army ! "well
but" said I, "you know the Government
must have the ineu —we don't wish to j
see those gallant Union armies struggle
along without reinfoireuients, and if we
did the Government will have thcui if it j
has oven to draft them." His reply was,
that "within thirty days we will have a
secret organisation in every district in the I
) 1 Union to resist every Federal mandate;
and then we would like to see any of the
minions of the government attempt to
dralt us," at another time the same gen
tleman said that the streets of oui towu
should run in blood before they would be
i drafted. Wheu the gallant veteran ar
my under Mead wus entering Pennsylva
nia for the pur]>ose of driving back the
rebel army under Lee, on the eve of the
! | battle of Ueltcysburg, one of the same
I persuasion (a member of a profession)
said that we had about as much to fear
from Mead's army as from Lee's.
But space fails us to produce half the
facts which are capable of being produced
I to prove the utter faithfullnsess of that
party to the cause of their country, even
; in the meeting which honored ( I) the
i Major with—say four cheers and a hall
(they first gave three for the Major and
then tlwce for liim and another.) We
were told that we could never conquer
1 the south. The Major, we believe, is an
oflicial member of one of the most popular,
.1 as it is one of the most patriotic churches
! in tins section—lie heard the entire luiii-
J istry assailed, their motives questioned)
, and without reserve. Looking at the
Major's calling I'orthe three years past and
reflecting upon all these things, we were
indeed somewhat vexed to see him min
i gle so freely wirh the party now known
as Copperhead, in Pennsylvania, and
I Butternut, in Ohio and elsewhere. It is
i not the Democratic party of 180>, by any
! means. Knox, llcister, Ccs*na, Shannon
;! and scores of others who were acknowl
• leaders then, are for Lincoln now.
! We submit these facts dispassionately, and
iu al kindness we u-k the Major to re
flect upon thum and imagine whether his
| regiment will have more right, or be more
likely to reflect upon us for the manner
i in which we saw fit to treat this matter,
or at him for the formation of these
strange and unnatural associations with
| the political enemies of his country? It
1 is true he has connections by affinity with
that regiment, but we claim relations by
consanguinity. e know that every pul
sation that springs from the heart ol that
: veteran regiment beats impatiently for the
i triumph of the union arms—so does ours
i We know that the Major's solicitude never
j exceeded ours for its safety and honor ;
! filled as it is in part by our neighbors and
I friends. Since this matter has comnlenc
! cd wc have been informed on goo J au
thority that the Major, while in Wash
ington declared that ho would vote for
Mr. Lincoln, if such should bo his inten
tion". all he has to do is to say so above
his signature, it shall have a place in our
columns, and all that wc have said, based,
; as it is, upon a contrary presumption,
| shall be taken back. Till then, however,
j the record shall stand as already made up.

U. S. 7-30 Loan.
Tim Secretary of tbe Treasury gives notice that sub
scriptions will be rccelvod for Coupon Treasury Notes,
payable three years from Aug. 15th, 1864, with semi an
nual interest at a rato' of seven and three-tonths per
cent, per annum—principal and interest both to be paid
in lawftil money.
Tiituo notes will be convertible at the option of the
bolder at maturity, Into six per cent, gold bearing bonds,
payable not less than five nor more than twenty years
from their date, as the Government may elect. They
will be issued In denominations of SOO,IIOO, SSOO, SI,OOU
and $5,000, and all subscriptions must be for fifty dollars
or some multiple of fifty dollars.
Tbe notes will bo transmitted to tho owners free of
transportation charges, ns soon after the receipt of the
original Certificate of Deposit as they can be prepared.
As ihe notes draw interest from Angust 15, persons
making deposits subsequent to that date must pay tho
interest accrued from date of note to date of deposit.
Parties depositing twenty-fire thousand dollars and
upwards for these notes at any one lime will bo allowed
a commission of ono-quarter of one per ceut., whtch will
bo paid by the Treasury Department upon the receipt of
a bill fjr the amount, certified by the officer wilh whom
tho deposit was made. No deductions fjr commissions
must be made from the d-.'posits.
Special Advantages of This Loan.
it is a National S aviso 4 Band, offering a higher rute
of interest than any other, and the best security. Any
savings bank which pays its depositors In V. 8. Notes,
considers that It Is paying in the best circnlating medium
of the country, and it cannot pay in anything better, for
its own a«sets aro either in government securities or iu
notes or bond* payable iu gevernment paper.
It i-i equally couvcniet us a tempoi ary or permanont
iave-tment. The notes can always bo sold for within u
I fraction of their faco and accumulated interest, and aro
the test security with banks as cuUatoruN for dhsounts.
' Convertible into a Six per cent. 5-20 Gold Bond.
J In addltiau to the very liberal Interest on the notes for
throe years, this privilege of conversion I* now worth
about three per cent, per annum, for the current rate for
fr-20 Hoi id* is not less than nine cent, premium , and
j-before the war tho premium in six per cent. U. 8. stocks
! was over twenty per cent. It will be seen that tho ac-
J tual profit "ii this loan, at the present market rate, Is not
less than ten per cent, por annum. *
■ Its Exemption from Sinte or Municipal Taxation.
But aside from all tho advantages we ha"® enumera
ted, a special A<'t of Congress exempts all bonds und
Treasury not'* from lacal taxation. On the avernge,
this exemption is worth about two por ceut. per annum,
J oceording to tborato of taxation iu various parts of tho
J country.
I It is believed that no securities offer so grout induce
ments to lenders as those Issued by the government.—
In all other forms of indebtedness, tho faith or ability
of private parties, or stock companies or separate coin*
munlties, ouly, is pledged payment, while the whole
pr perfy of the country is held to secure the discharge
of all the obligations of the United States.
| While tho government offers tho most liberal terms
f»t its loans, It believes that the very strongest appeal
will be the loyalty and patriotism of the people.
Duplicate certificates will bt Issued for all deposits.—
The party depositing must endorse upon tho original
certificate tho denomination of notos required, und
whether they aro to bo issued in blank or payablo to or
der. Wh&n so endorsed it must bo left with the officer
receiving the deposit, to bo forwarded to tho Troamry
Department.
