How Trailor is to be made Sound better than Loyalist. The Review saj's that in the coming years, "loyalty" will stink in tho nostrils of the people, while "rebel will outshine the sun." Tho Louisville Courier, tho organ of the Democratic party in the vicinity of Louisville, has already found a traitor, who, it seems, outshines all the suns in tho universe. It urges the election of JOHN C. BRECKINRIDGE to tho U. S. Senate from Kentucky, and says of him: "Could a better, an abler, or a more gallant man be sent there? Would he not honor that body more than it could honor him? Would ho not stand there without a peer in everything that constitutes true greatness, and reflect dignity and credit by his association, upon a set of men who arc fast bringing reproach, by the mediocrity and fanaticism-, upon tho timehonored reputation of tho American Sonate, made illustrious by the names of Webster and Clay."

Such arc tho sentiments and feelings of the Democratic party throughout the country, and it is by writing such articles as this in praise of traitors and constantly denouncing union men, that traitor is to be made respectable and loyalty odious. The gallant Union men of Kentucky who Stood by tho Union, shed thoir blood, and periled their lives in its defense, are all to be thrust aside and John C. Brockinridge, formerly a Democratic leader, is to be honored with tho position of Senator. It matters not that he was onco expelled from tho Senate, on account of his treason—for Treason is to be made to outRhine the sun. It matters not that he served four years in the rebel army, doing his utmost to destroy the country—for he was fighting in behalf of the Democratic principle of State Rights. IIow long beforo the Democracy of Indiana will recall Harry Dodd from his mission to Canada, and send him to tho United Stales Senate? Dodd's "troason must be made to outshine the sun," some way, and we don't know any better method of doinff it.

The State Convention. We publish to-day tho proceedings of the Union Stato Convention of tho 22(1 ult. The old State officers, with the exception of Treasurer, were renominated—in his stead, tho gallant Gen. Kimball was placed on the ticket. The resolutions were adopted with great unanimity, and both ticket and platform' give general satisfaction to

1'resident Johnson and |he Copperheads. The present flurry in political circles, we think may very proporly bo denominated "much ado about

:nothing."

President Johnson has vetoed

tho Frcedmen's Bureau Bill, and time, in all probability will demonstrate that ho did right.— So far as wo are concerned, we can see no present necessity for any new act on the subject of freedmen. The present law, which now fully protects the freedmen wherever it is enforced, seoms to us to be amply sufficient, and, as stated by Secretary Seward, is to remain in force one full year after the final termination of the rebellion, the administration not regarding the rebellion as yet at nn end. If the President should, by Proclamation declare the rovolt now at an end, the present law would remain in forco one year from this time, and we think by the expiration of the year tho freedmen would be in a condition to take enre of themselves. If not, we have every faith that Congress and the President would provide some means for protecting them in their rights. The people have full faith in President Johnson's oftrepeated declarations of friendship for the negroes and his solemn promises to sec that their rights are protected. lie has more than onco said he would be their Moses to lead them out of tho clutches of the Copperhead party whoso hearts yearn for their perpetual enslavement. He has said that if he were in Tennessee and a private citizen, acting only for himsolf, he would vote to enfranchise those among the negroes who could read and write and all who had served in tho army. He has repeatedly declared that the negro is an American citizen, and that when ho shall prepare himself to discharge with intelligence the duties of a citizen, should be admitted to all the rights of that high and honorable position. We submit, therefore, that on this question, ho is as radical as any one, in our judgment, ought to be.

From tho beginning of the war to this hour ho has denounced the secessionists of the South and their copperhead allies of the North. No man in the government has been more bittor in his denunciations of Northern Copperheads and Knights of the Golden Circle than Andrew Johnson, and we bel'cve that no man detests their memory more sincerely to-day, than he does. Upon these two points then, there is no difference between President Johnson and tho Republican or Union party. He is as much anti-slavery as the Republican party is now, or ever was. But it is said he is too lenient towards traitors and is in favor of admitting rebels into Congress from the South. If gentlemen who so assert will carefully examine his declarations and record they will see otherwise. Did lie not hang the infamous Wirz and receive therefor tho maledictions of every Copperhead press in the Union? Did he not hang the murderers of the President? and was he not, for this act, denounced by every Copperhead paper in the country as having "barbarously murdered an innocent woman?" Did he not, against the earnest importunities, threats, and everything else the copperheads could bring to bear on him, consign to tho penitentiary, Indiana's infamous Democratic treason-plotters, Bowles, Milligan and Horsey? and has he not refused to tho present time to pardon them? And by this course does lie not indicate his belief that two-thirds of the copperheads of our State richly deserve tho portion of Bowles, Milligan and Horsey, who were iimply unfortunate in being detected in their foul foot while the balance of the party were sharp enough to cscapo detection and conviction? We ask Union men to pause and reflect over Mr. Johnson's acts and declarations. Has he not gone further to protect the negro in his freedom, hung more infamous, traitorous scoundrels, and pardoned fewer prominent rebels than Mr. Lincoln himself would have done, if he had survived?— We believe he has. But it is said the Democrats are indorsing him. Well, if the Democrats want to come over to the Republican party, wo shall not denounce the President because they have seen the error of their way and wish to repent of their acts and doings in behalf of treason. We cannot find it in our hearts to censure the poor fellows for wishing to fly away from the memory of their record during the war. Eighteen months ngo they were indorsing Jeff. Davis, and denouncing Andy Johnson. If they choose now to turn round and indorse ths President and denounce Jeff. Davis, everybody it seems to us, ought to bo glad of it. But, it is said they are not sinccro in their indorsement of the President. We grant it but what harm will it do, if they are not? As to the supposition that ho favors the admission of rcoei jrj"il'fscnlatives into Congress, it is not true. Upon this point Mr. Johnson has been, and is yet much misunderstood. He said most positively, in his interview with tho Virginians, that nono but loyal men should bo represented, and not men in whose nostrils tho word loyalty "created a stench." Ho distinctly took tho ground that if there were but five hundred loyal men in a State, they had tho right to control it. In his speech on tho 22d ult., he repeats tho samo idea in stronger language. He said: "I am for admitting into tho councils of tha nation all their Representatives who arc unmis tahably and unquestionably loyal. A man who acknowledges allegiance to the Government, and who swoars to support the Constitution, [in good faith] uiust necessarily bo loyal. A man can not take that in good faith unless ho is loyal. A mere infliction of the oath makes no difference, as to the principle whatever tost is thought proper as evidence and as proof of loyalty, is a more matter of detail about which I care nothing but let a man bo unmistakably and unquestionably loyal, let him acknowledge allegianco to tho Constitution of the United States and be willing to support tho Government in its hour of poril and its hour of need, and I am willing to trust him."

Applauso.] So are we. The very difficulty now is, that tho South has sent men to Congress who arc not loyal —who were not "willing to support tho government in its hour of peril and itii hour of need." It is a fact known to all who read the papers, that almost every Stato in the South has sent men to represent it in Congress who are rebels—tho very leaders in tho rebellion—and it is furthermore known that tbey havo done it as an insult to the nation. They could not whip tho nation, and they are now trying to insult it by spitting in its face as it ivcro, or making mouths at it.— The reason Congress docs not admit theso men is that they arc not loyal, and in this action, President Johnson in the above extract indorses Congress fully and unequivocally. On tho whole, we sec no occasion for Union men to fall out with Mr. Johnson. Wo don't know what ho may do in the future. But what ho has done and omitted to do in'fhe past as a general thing, commonds itself to us as being prudent and proper. If Democrats chooso to indorse him, so much tho better. always believed they would some day seo tho'crror of their way and turn from it.

Meeting of the Democracy ofllalhincli. Pursuant to notice the DSffiocfficy of Balhinch met in Masa ConVetitio« oh Tuesday last at tho residence of John Lewellen, Esq.

On motioti, Captain Daniel Keller tfrt3 elected President, and William Gillia chosen Secretary. A committee wits appointed to draft resolutions) which reported the following!

Resolved, 1st, That the time hns come in which tho word loyalty creatcs a stench in the nostrils of every honest man. 2d. (In proof of the foregoing.) That no man is honest in whose nostrils the word loyalty does not create a stench. 3d. That ns crimcs have been committed by traitors in the name of loyalty, therefore tho word traitor outshines the noon-day sun. 4th. That we cordially indorse all the past acts of President Johnson so far as the same are in accordance with the foregoing sentiments and that we will-support him in all measures which have .a tendency to restore the unhappy Democracy to power again. 5th. That we are opposed to all internal improvements except tho underground railroad to Canada, which, ill time of drafts was, to us, an indispensible facility for supporting "the Constitution as it is and the Union as it was."

Cth. That as we have no bureaus, we are utterly opposed to free niggers being allowed such aristocratic furniture—we therefore cordially indorse the veto of the frecdinan's Bureau Bill. [When this resolution was read Mr. Thomas Phillips arose and said "it would be an utter shame to take money from the treasury to buy a bureau for every free nigger in the country, and upon this resolution he hoped the Democracy of Balhinch would speak a united voice in tones of thunder which was greeted with tremendous and inthusiastic applause.] 7tli. That the Southern States have a right to be represented in Congress, and that we ."re opposed to all tests of fitness'except applying to the nose of each member the word loyalty. If the word creates a "stench in his nostrils," it ought to be accepted as conclusive proof of his honesty and fitness for a seat in the councils of the nation. 8th. That so long as Democrats and niggers are permitted to live together in adultery, marriage between tho two races ought to be strictly prohibited.

Most of the Committeemen made short speeches in favor of the resolutions, after which the President put the question on their adoption and they were adopted as a whole amid great enthusiasm and deafening cheers.

In the absence of the Committee, Gen. Manson being called, responded in his usual eloquent and happy style. [No reporter being present, we are unable to give the General's speech, which is much regretted.]—ED.

Mr. John Lewcllen offered the following, which was adopted: Resolved, That as wo arc anxious that the sentiments of the Democracy of Balhinch shall be known to the Convention on Saturday next, and that as the Review will not be issued till that day, we request the Journal to publish these resolutions on Thursday so they may be fully considered before the meeting of the Convention.

Aii Indorsement of the President. The Copperheads of llipley township met in Convention, on the 17th ult., at Alamo. Ainoug other resolutions they adopted the following: "Resolved, That we indorse the past acts of President Johnson which we consider justifiable under the circumstances," Ac.

Good platform,gentlemeni

daeaetisiseasstis tiBaSSHSSte r1'TMPBmflgMwmy

We suppose Bowles,

Milligan and Horsey can stand on that. But we doubt very much whether they will consider their consignment to the penitentiary, for life, by President Johnson., as "justifiable under the circumstances."

A Query.

As the Copperheads exult so much over Prosident Johnson's veto message, maybe they would not object to telling us what they think of his sending Bowles, Milligan and Horsey, three of Indiana's prominent Copperhead leaders, to the Ohio penitentiary and keeping them thereto this day. Do they indorse this act of the President? Will the Ret it answer? What will the Convention noxt Saturday say about it? Come gentlemen, speak out.

JSST*Tho lieview wants to know if we indorse the veto Message of President Johnson, in order that it may determine whether wc are loyul or not. It will perhaps bo sufficient for all practical purposes, for us to inform our anxious neighbor, that tho word loyalty does not create a "stench in our nostrils" yet and that treason does not, as seen by us, "out-shine tho noon-day sun.',' Is this satisfactory
