ehall fight for the Constitution and the Union, and we vrill never give any aid, or assistance to the continuing of this unwhoUy and unconstitutional war." E. C. Hibben, a Copperhead, wrote to Dan. Voorhees, in 1864, that " the Democracy are fast stiffening up when the war is to be openly declared aa being waged for the purpose of freeing the negro," " which will arouse another section of the country to arms," and declaring " that Lincoln bayonets are shcnddcred for coldblooded murder."

To come near home, we give the following: A COPPERHEAD RESPONSE TO A CALL FOR TROOPS. The Princeton (Gibson County) Democrat, in its issue of the 24th of October, 1864, made the following response to President Lincoln's call for troops : " ' Father Abraham ' has called for 300,000 more men, to fight for the freedom of the negro. In the language of the poet, we exclaim : ' We are coming, Abraham Lincoln, From mountain, wood and glen, We are coming, Abraham Lincoln, With the ghosts of murdered men. Yes! we're coming, Abraham Lincoln, With curses loud and deep, That will haunt yon In your waking, And disturb you in your sleep. There's blood upon your garments, There's uuilt upon your soul. For the lust of ruthless soldiers Let loose without control. a M No ! by the memory of our sires, By their unnumbered graves, We 11 perish on ten thousand fields Ere we become your slaves. ' " The above appeared in the Democrat together with the call of the President for 300,000 volunteers. It was intended by the editor, we suppose, as his reply to the call. Was it not strange ' greetings" to you, soldiers? Y MARTIN COUNTY. At a ra:ss meeting of the Democrats of this county, at Dover Hill, January 31. it was resolved : " That we regard the lives of white men u of more value than the freedom of I lie negro, and we have given the last man and the last money we are willing to gioe for the prosecution of this aboii (im ica. ." At the Democratic State Convention at Indianapolis in 1864, D. H. Colerick, a prominent member of the Convention from Allen County, said: "Nine hundred and ninety-nine men of very thousand who I represent breathe no other prayer than to nave an end to this hellish war. When j news of Hur victoria coMes there k T&otc&n; when hi tcs OJ ur m come there is no sorrow. There is a feeling which tells of an intense desire for peace, and we ask that some resolution be passed that is in unison with the prayers of the heart of the Democracy of the country, that this horrible and bloody war muot cease." W Voornees, in a speech to his constituents, at Greencastle, Bays: " I say to you, my constituents, that, as your representative I will never vote one dollar, one man or one gun to the Administration of Abraham Lincoln to make war on the South:' The Crawford County Forum, referring to our soldiers, says; "It (the Administration) has put arms in the hands of outlaws, thieves, murderers and traitors. " The Ashland Union, a Democratic organ, speaking of our soldiers, calls them "hired Hessians, going to the sunny Southern soil to butcher by wholesale, not foreigners, but good men, as exemplary christians as any of our own men. " SOLDIERS DENOUNCED AS BLOODHOUNDS. j On the 18th day of May, 1864, the Franklin Democrat, published at Brookville, Indiana, made use of the following language in reference to our soldiers : "We advise the bloodhounds to finish up the job they have already begun of slaying their fellow-countrymen in the Southern States before they inaugurate a like crusade on their more immediate neighbors. We expect to take our turn then ; but it will be an easier matter for you to annihilate one of us at a time. " The Democratic Press, speaking of the Republican party and the army, said: " In power less than a year, it has spent millions of the people's money. and five hundred thousand men are employed to steal negroes from their Southern masters." Geo. W. Peck, of Ohio, in a speech before the Lansing Democratic Association, March, 1863, said: "You Black Republicans began this war. You have carried it on for two years. You have sent your hell hounds down South to devastate the country and what have you done? You never can conquer them. And why? Because they are our brethren. The Democracy of the First District in 1864, occupied a different position in regard to the war and the soldiers than the one they have assumed in 1866. FRINCETON CONGRESSIONAL TION. CONVENAt the Congressional Convention of the Democracy held at Princeton, Gibson County, in July, 1864, the following resolutions were passed:

" That the new call of Abraham Lincoln for five hundred thousand more of the laboring men of this country is unreasonable, and if en forced must result in serious injury to our productive resources. 6. "That we are in favor of the Union of the States, as it existed prior to the beginning of the war, and in favor of an immediate resort to peaceful measures, believing that our national difficulties can be compromised, but that the Union can not be preserved by the arbitrament of the sword." POSEY COUNTY. The Democratic Convention of Posey passed the following: " Resolved, That the Democracy of Posey County, here in convention assembled, agree with Mr. Lircoln in the sentiments and opinio as thus uttered by him, and as there is confessedly no Union sentiment now existing at the South, we believo it is "beyond the power" of the North to restore the Union by force alone, and we call on the Administration at once t" slop a useless slaughter of our people, to proclaim an armistice, call a national convention, and honestly seek a restoration of the Union of our fathers, to the integruy and prosperity of which we are devoutly and unalterably attached"

CORRESPONDENCE. Spencer County. Rockport, Ind.. I Aug. 11, 188ft j Editors Journal: We are just now in the midst of our annual political strife. Street-corner discussions, political sparring, public speeches, club meetings, &c., &c, almost entirely engross the attention of a majority of the people. There is just such a general waking up of the masses as we saw in the Fall of 1864, when treason, beaten at the polls and in the field, slunk away to a temporary hiding place. Again the infamous hosts, under the same leadership, are being marshalled for defeat. The faces of loyal men are brightening, and the ranks are closing up steady and strong for the coming struggle at the ballot-box. The triumph of Duvall in Kentucky over the gallant Hobsou, and the rejoicing of the Indiana Democrats, from the lowest and meanest street corner politician, to Voorhees the leader, over the result, shows what they purpose in their hearts. Honest men I who a month ago blasted of their Democracy, are today ashamed of the treasonable concern, and ire consequently joining the great Union party, which carried us through the late war against armed treason. The canvass is going on vigorously, and the people are beginning to comprehend the plain issue, loyalty or treason must triumph. The masses are not for trusting the rebs who fought us. and throwing away the Yankees who shared our every battlefield. The darkies here had a Sunday School pic nie to-day, at which three or four hundred were present. By special invitation Dr. Sabin made them a brief speech, which was well-timed and appropriate. Teach the blacks their duty to God and their fellow beings and we have nothing to fear from them, is the lesson that the Nation is now learning. Everything passed off very quietly, and all seemed pleased and happy. In the procession they carried the "starry banner," under which many of them had marched to " the music of the Union" during the war. We neither need nor want colored voters, nor do they ask for suffrage, being content with liberty. Dr. Houghland has gone "Johnsonized," to " parts unknown." Saxton. Election Notice.

Greene's Patent Cylinder CIDEU MILL, For Crushing and Expressing the Juice from Apples, Grapes, and other Fruit, trf one and the same operation. THE SUBSCRIBER HAS INVENTed and patented a Machine for crushing and expressing the juice from Apples and other fruit at a single operation, thereby dispensing with screws, levers, presses, and other cumbersome machinery, and saving all fhe time and labor necessary to separate the juices from the fruit by "the old process. This important result is attained by a novel arrangement of crushing and pressing cylinders together in one frame, entirely unlike any Machine ever heretofore constructed for such a purpose, and which must eventually supersede and do away with all known processes for extracting juices from fruit. The subscriber claims, and is ready to demonstrate, that the following advantages are gained over all other Machines: 1st. With l lie same amount of power, three times ffte quantity of Cider or Wine can be made in a day than can be made by any other Machine. 2d. That trom 25 to 40 per cent, more Cider or Wine can be extracted from the same amount of fruit. 3d. Thar it is more compact and simple in its operation, stronger and less liable to get out of order; is adapted to hand or other powers ; is portable, and can be transported readily from place to place; can be driven by any kind of power, and can be attached to any machinery. 4th. It is cheaper in proportion to its capacity. 5th. It is stronger, being constructed entirely of iron. 6th. In being adapted for expressing juices from all kinds of fruit, including Apples, Grapes, Rhubarb, or Wine Plant, Currants, and Berries of all kinds. 7th. That it is superior to any Root Cutler known for the purpose ofrushing roots of all kinds, for feeding stock, quicker, easier, and better than any other Machine. 8th. That it expresses the juice from Apples or other fruit the moment they are crushed, wherein lies the great secret of making good Cider or Wine. 9th. That it does not grind or break the seed of any kind of fruit; thereby doing away with a great objection which is urged against all other Machines. Enclose stamp for Descriptive Circular. Address G.

THE EVANSVILLE JOURNAL

FOR THS CAMPAIGN OF 1866. Daily, Tri-Weekly & Weekly MAKE UP YOUR CLUBS! The next campaign will be one of the most important which the people of Indiana have ever fought against proscription, and error, and wrong. Now, it ever, must the fruits of the terrible war which we have suffered, be secured beyond a peradventure. The grave responsibilities growing out of the situation are feit and appreciated by all the people. In order that they may be prepared to act understandingly, there is a necessity for cheap and rapid means of informing themselves of the rapid events transpiring from day to day in the political world.

It is to the Journal as a leading paper, working in the interests of the principles ot the Union party for the State, that we would call attention. The conduct of the paper, politically, is too well known to need any publication of its manner or the principle's whieh have governed it. It will continue as before, without change. In addition to the careful attention to the Political Department of the paper, special effort will be made each department being placed in competent hands to make the Journal a complete compendium of news, a pleasant fire-side companion, a faithful market guide, and in short a complete summary of events in the political, social, religious, literary, scientific and commercial world. With this end in view, it will contain a full record of current news, market reports, (foreign and domestic), the latest telegraphic dispatches, political intelligence, literary and domestic gossip, choice poetry, editorials on current topics, the most beautiful stories and sketches, correspondence, State and local intelligence, etc., etc. Due attention will also be giveu to educational, art and agricultural matters.
