A Mr. Jerome advanced the money for the occasion, and the "Ti ibune' eaIle(ftipon the Leaguer to reimburse him, but' the call met with no response, from the fact as will hereafter aff ear, that the Leaguers found tf.cy had uhwitingly drawn a very huge elephant in the returned soldiers.

Profession vs. Practice.
lhe Abolition leaders, who manage and
control the misnamed "Union Party," profess great love for the country and assert their
readiness to sacrifice everything in its defense. : Tbey also assume to be the only true and genuine friends of the gallant men in the army; and they continually declare and affirm that Democrats are disloyal; that they sympathize with traitors and are the soldier's enemies. Such are their professions. Now for their practice. The President of the United States, on the 15th of June, called for 20,000 men rom the militia of New York and 30,000 men from the militia of Ohio to go forth at once to repel the rebel invasion. Governor Seymour (a "Copperhead") immediately put 7000 men on the road to Pennsylvania, and by this time
most of the balance of his quota arc on their way.' Governor Tod (Uniou ') at once issued his proclamation urging the people of Ohio to respond, and at the "great and overwhelming meeting" of. "Loyalists" which met in Columbus on the 17th," he made a personal appeal to the largo crowd, but he did not get oue volunteer not one 1 , In Illinois, at the time that Gov. Yates, for partisan purposes, attempted to prorogue the Legislature-, and did succed in getting the Abolition members to run aiva'y, thus de
stroying the quorum, a bill was before that
body appropriating $100,000 for the relief of
the sick and wounded soldiers from that
State" riovr in the Army, and by this revolu tionary proceeding, that bill was defeated
At the Democratic btate Convention at
Springfield, 11L, on the ISth int, the matter
was discussed, and to supply the needs of
the soldiers which the $100,000 contemplated legislative appropriation was designed to do,
a voluntary contribution w as made by the Democratic, delegates, aud $17,000 actually raised on the spot; but the Abolition Union
Lengners of Illinois hav1! not ventured to
contribute one cent for the relief of the brave
men in the field from that State.
Such incidents as these are the best evi
dence in the4 world as towho are the real
ITninn men and tttA frlenda nf th rnaa nf
constitutional liberty, and also the friends of
the soldiers in the army. It is easy to make
loud professions, since it does not cost any
thing, and the Abolition leaders are adept in
mat tonnes, out meir peniormances are not worth onrush. They are mere pretend
ers and nothing more, and if the defense. of
the country depended on them its fate would
be sealed in an hour.

New York, May 110, 1863.. The report goes that when the soldiers got to Utica they were treated to a sumptious re past they eat and were happy but as soon as the speaking commenced, they began to exhibit signs of displeasure, and at last, at one of the stands, when LymanTremaine was speaking, they raised a shout of "Down with the Washington political conspirators," which was followed by ''three cheers for McClellan" and a dash for the stand, which they . took possession of, and set up one of their number to address them, which be ''did, denouncing in bitter terms the politicians in Washington, and lauding McClellan to the skies." At another of the stands, (there were three,) while Mr. Bruce wAs speaking, the 10th Kegiuient came u'p in' ' solid front, and one of their officers mounted a barrel, and declared th meeting an,, Abolition, sell. t They then took possession of the stand amid cheers for McClellan, And groans 4 for the Washington politicians!

ThePrecsure. It is well known that a powerful outside pressure was brought to bear upon Mr. Lincoln by the radical members of his party.
The following extract from the Washington

This waj loyality then it is loyality and devotion to the Union, as these scoundrels would endeavor to make us believe now:
"As soon as the result of the election was definitely known, a meeting of the Cabinet was held, at which, it is understood, President Lincoln announced to the assembled members that in his opinion the result was a verdict against the radical policy, and especialby against the Emancipation Proclama
tion, and that to r. Reward, Mr. Mair, and Mr. Smith echoed his words and his arguments. It is said that after the Conservatives in the Cabinet i had expressed their views, Mr. Chase calmly and deliberately told Mr.
Lincoln that there were two courses open for

ready to make a proposition lor peace with
the Southern Confederacy ; that not another life should be lost, nor another dollar spent, if this war was to be a war for the restoration of slavery; that as these gentlemen controlled a majority iu the Congress whh?h is to govern the country, so far as the appropriations go, for another year, they were in a position to dictate the course of the Administration. Not only must he adhere to the proclamation issued, and to all its radical features, but he must, moreover, give it too the benefit of the Generals in the field who believe in it The story goes on to relate that letters were received from Senators Sumner. Wade, Wilson, Fessenden, and the other radical
leaders in the Senate, nnd from Stevens,

in the House, stating that if the Emancipa

It will be recollected that Capt Earleywine was oppointed by Gov. Morton moral instructor of the Northern State Prison, and proba bly while endeavoring to inculcate the prin-. ciples of morality and christian faith into the minds ofothrs he himself eame under conviction and of course discarded the infidel
heresies of abolitionism, and as a partial
atonement for the evil he had committed by advocating those doctrines, he entered th

Frauds on Freedom If the welcome task had been laid on Mephistopheles of annihilating the liberties of a free people he might have chosen the American nation for the victim of his achievement To hoodwink intelligence instead of deluding ignorace ; to inflame the proud for their own destruction rather than to crush the spiritless ; to plot through ambition and not against dull content, would have inspired his malignant genius, and crowned even failure with the praise of daring. The grandeur of that ruin, involving the liopos of the world, might have matched the corruption of Eden.
Tocched its Feelings. A few doys since a negro in Newburg, N. Y., by force violated
the person of a respectable white girl in that
place. He was arrested and placed in jail, but subsequently taken out by the infuriated populace nnd hanged, whereupon the Xew York Tribune goes into the following indignant spasm : A negro, accused, but not convicted, of violating the person of a white girl, was taken on Sunday from the jail in Xewburg, by a mob of white ruffians, horribly beaten and tortured, and then hanged. Why ? Because he had been,, or was supposed to be. guilty of a horrible crime? By no means. White men have repeatedly committed the same outrage in worse circumstances, and the
law has been suuercd to take its course. In
this casa the presumed criminal was thus
treated because he was a negro, and the insane hatred of his race which has been in
stilled into the brutal mob who mnrdered him was lashed into malignant fury in order to make the crime of one negro another occasion for insulting nnd oppressing his race. Was there any thing in his crime to move the sensibilities of such men as incited, and led, and composed the mob? On the contrary, such men would be the readiest to commit the very crime which they made thepretext for putting him to cruel death. Of that crime he may or may not hare been guilty,
but every scoundrel who shared in that cowardly outrage is beyond question guilty of murder, and, if there is any law in New burg which cannot be violated with impunity, will surely hang for it If the color of the outrage perpetrator and the victim had been reversed, the Tribune no doubt would have pronounced the doings of the mob a righteous act The Rush County Shooting Affair.
