SoU' br all WkolMt and S.til Irnjti.t In Ply v.o. Iff I II fi THh. RH.PTTRT.Tf! A IV PLYMOUTH, Thursday, July 28, 1864. I FROPI THE 29th INDIANA VETE- RAN VOLUNTEERS. A Soldier's Opinion of the Northern Friends of Southern Traitors.

Correapondence Mtrshall Countr Republican. CnATTANOOOA, Julj C. Editor Jitpublican: I take the liberty of writing a few lines, which, if you think proper to print, will gratify me, and perhaps prove interesting to those of yonr readers who have friends in the 20th. I would inform them that a remnant of the old 29th is still in the Und of the living. Oar eneures, the Copper heads in your vicinity, may alo make a note of this fact, if they wih.

Although wo aro in the enemies country, at least what they claim as their country, and par tially snrrounded by armed rebel, or more properly, roving bands of thieving gner-rilla, still, we consider our situation pref erable to your, for we are not compelled to aisociato with thera, as you an with those who are equally Talso and recreant to the old flag; and if we were, would prefer it, for of the two daises I think armed rebels who boldly risk their lifo in lefer.se of their cause by odds the most honorable. If this language should offend any of the snaky tribe in your region I cannot help it. I am in favor of plain language and of calling things by their proper names. They claim to be Democrats, but aro more properly traitors. You cannot find a man in the whole rebel army but claims to be a Democrat, and, in my opinion, they are just as ipod Democrats as Copperheads are.

They sympa thize with each other and pray for each others success. However, there is tbis difference. The Southerners entertain a feeling of contempt for their Northern allies, while the latter persist in advoca ting the rebel cause and rendering it all the service they can in their way, notwitstand- ing all the rebuffs they receive from that quarter. I am sometimes astonuhed, when I fleet upon the subject, at the delusion and folly of Northern Copperheads. They must be demented or they would re alize the fate that awaits them and flee from the wrath to come.

They are sporting upon the brink of a precipice, over which, the people will ere long hurl them headlong into the abyss of eternal infamy. and their names forever thereafter be coupled with the tories of the revolution, and the blue-light federalists of 1312. But I have wandere! from the subject about which I wished to 6ay a few words. I said in the outset that I wished to let our friends know that a remnant of ns were still in the land of the living. I say friends, because I know we still have fiien ls np North.

If we were disposed to donlt it, all that would be necossarr to dispel the delusion would be for us to go down to the Christian and Sanitary Commission rooms and behold the vast stores they have gratuitously Kent here for the comfort of tick and wounded soldiers. Yes, we have friends at home, and those who appreciate our services, and the reason is that they are patriots and friends of liberty, and understand the benefits of law and order. They are not aham Democrats, who pretend to bo in favor of these great principles, but expose their hypocrisy by sympathising with traitors who revolted against the authority of the Government because the majority of the people were not on their side. The idea that such men. Northern copperheads and Southern rebels, are, or can be true Democrats, is absurd and ridiculous in the extreme.

If one party has a right to revolt because the decision of the ballot box was not in their favor, the other has, and then what becomes of our frea institutions But to return to our friends, who have not ceased to remember us, though far away, baring our bosoms to the leaden storm, for the sake of maintaining the Union and the blessings of freo institutions. Their kindness and liberality is duly appreciated by every soldier and reconciles him somewhat to tho hardships and privations bo has to endure nay, more, ii makes him feel that he is net forgotten at home, and that he is not exposing his life entirely for the benefit of ungrateful, 6elfih partisans, who, if thny cannot always remain in office are willing to 6ee the Union dissevered and the country ruined. Mr. Editor, I would like in conclusion, to say a word to the copperhead editors in yoar section. Yon may for the present, gentlemen, cpont treason aad express sympathy lor those who have raised their parricidal arm against the best And freest Government earth, but the time will come when yon will try to deny the record yon have made.

Yon are now sowing the whirlwind, we will see whether or not you can ride the storm. R. II. Co. O.

Killed, near 300 Wounded and in hospital at Frederick, now in our possession 431 Total. r3i Some of the Beauties of the Constitutional Democracy." From the Indiana Journal. There is a raciness ia the amount of hypocrisy and inconsistency that can bo exhibited by a democratic Convention, which has no parallel outside of the history of Cant.

Simon Stifirsjs. No other party than that which prates so glibly about constitutional restrictions, strict construction of delegated powers, the resolutions of "93," and the impossibility that the Democratic party can do wrong, would havoha the effrontery to adopt the following resolution which forms a part of what is facetiously called tho Platform of the Democracy of Indiana, as manufactured July 12, 1SG4. 2. we disapprove of and condemn the action of Governor Morton in establishing a "financial bureau," an insitution unknown to the Constitution, the laws and the usages of the State of Indiana; in securing, disbursing and squandering the funds of the State; in borrowing money on the faith of the State and ple lging the property and the energies of the people to pay 6tich loans, and interest thereon, and in paying out such money in open and flagrant disregard of the Constitution and laws of tbe State, without any appropriation directing tbe payment thereof, and without any of the checks and safeguard that the wisdom and experience of the past have demonstrated were necossary for the safety, preservation and economical expenditure of the money of the people of the State. The party that had the cheek to pass that resolution claims to be the same Democratic party that once followed the leading of Jackson and his successors, and gave to the gaze of the world those eminent statesmen, James Buchanan, VIoyd, Thompson.

Yancey. Horace Hef-fren and Milligan. If they are ambitions to appropriate the namo and personality ofthat party, they must accept all its acts, for one of the fundamental doctrines of the party ia, that the Democracy can do no v.rog. Now let ns see what the Democratic officials of Indiana did in a like case. At the session of the General Assembly in 1837, the rival parties in the Senate got at loggerheads over a contested election.

The Committee on Elections reported tha. Mr. Miller, one of the Senators, was not duly elected, but that Mr. Shyrock, his competitor, was elected to the seat. Tho Democrats were in a minority in the Senate, but true to the instincts of the party, which holds that a Democrat in office is always rightfully there, and any one else in office is a usurper vi keeps a Demoerat out of his rights, det rmined that Miller should keep his seat.

He was handy when the party wanted votes, and, besides, he felt comfortable where he was. These seemed to be tho strongest titles he had to his scat, bnt these were potential with the Democracy. The Constitution of the State contained a provision which rads as follows: "Each Iloase, when assembled, shall choose its own officers, (the President of the Senate excepted,) judge the elections, qualifications and returns of its vien mem bers dc. This was a small matter, however, for a Constitutional Democrat. Tbe minority determined that they were the proper and only judges in the case, and prevented a vote on the question until the final adjournment.

The resnlt was that neither appropriation or tax bills were passed, because the majority Insisted on finishing, the business in hand before taking op those bills, and the minority protested that no appropriations should be made, or revenues provided, nnless the majority would abandon its constitutional rights in the case of Miller. It was then expected by the people with the exception of the managing Democrats that an extra session would be called to remedy 1.1 I 01 leT8 thought some capital could be made for the next election by letting the State go the inmates of the State benevolent Inllllnlinni la.r';!". .11 t.tm. ll. WW UUUUI ISIAW9 ww jvwavy IUI UlUg VUI vi.iuij wit lug State treasury unpaid.

The Democratic piess throughout the State took ground against an extra session; Democratic conventions all over tha State rsolved tha same way; and Governor Willard would not and did not call tho Legislature together until after Another election, nearly two years thereafter. In accor dance with this party edict, the benevolent institutions were closed and their inmates scattered abroad. Tho indications of public dissatisfaction became so manifest, however, that the hone of making party canital in that wit wa hnnplp n.l capita in mat way was hopelesss and ui ma iuuia were recalled. Tho Legislature was not i called together to make tho necessary appropriations and provide means to pay these or any other expenses, because the Democratic party claimed to be infallible, and to retrace its steps in so important a matter might imply a possibility that it Could some times err. There was another provision of our Constitution, Sectiou Article which reads thus.

"No money shall be drawn from the Treasury but in pursuane of appropriations made by law." This would have been thought by some people a very decided impediment in the way of paying out money not appropriated by law, but such trifles never were sufficient to itnpedo the stately march of a "Constitutional Democrat." Governor Williard, in his message delivered to the succeeding Legielature on tho 7th day of January, 1859, explained how this trifling obstruction was removed. After giving a history of the closing of the Institutions for the lack of appropriations, he said: "The Treasurer of State, upon more mature reflection, became satisfied that you would approve his conduct if he advanced tho means to sustain the Institutions. He accordingly 6iguified a willingness thus to act. Thereupon the officers of State, on the lGth or September, 1857, by a unanimous resolution, advised him to pay the money of the State, in his possession, to sustain these Institutions, and they jrere opened. He has paid from the Treasury the money for their support, and for this advance by him I recommend that an appropriation be made." The resolution referred to by Gov.

Williard, and tho officers of the State who adopted it, are as follows: At a meeting of the officers of State, held on the 16th day of September, 1857, the following resolution was unanimously adopted: dissolved, that we advise the Treasurer of State to advance out of any money in his possession, belonging to the State of Indiana, sufficient funds to support the Indiana Hospital for the insane, and the Institutions for educating the deaf and dumb, and blind.

Secretary of State. It will surprise men who have any rpgard for consistency or fair dealing, that the Joseph E. McDonald who Mgced this recommendation to the Treasurer of State in 1857, is tho samo Joseph E. McDonald who in his speech before the convention of the 12th so ungenerously assailed Gov. Morton for applying to the suppoit of those same institutions, money not drawn from the State Treasury, but placed in his hands for that especial purpose by citizens of this and other States.

Joseph thought it entirely right for Gov. Wiliard to refuse to call the Legislature of 1857 together in extra session, to pass appropriations; when the only matter which divided them was the comparatively petty question whether Miller or Shryock was the legally elected Senator; but thinks it a great outrage that Gov. Morton should decline to reconvoke a Legislature so utterly revolutionary in its purposes, thai to save tho State from the calamities of a military despotism, and probable civil war, the minority was compelled to end its career by withdrawing from the House and leaving it without a quorum thus destroying its power to do evil. Such conduct would be pitiful in any man but a "Constitutional Democrat," but we suppose wo shall have to consider it proper enough in his case, as so great a magnate in the Democratic party has a right to regard that as a flagrant offence when done by another, which is entirely "constitutional" and the proper- est thing in le world when done by himself, or byhis advice. There is another bit of history in the transactions of the Stato Treasury from 1857 to 1859.

The treasury was empty, or nearly so, of any money other than the trust funds, which were specially dedicated to the support of common schools by the Constitution. We call attention to Article VIII of the Constitution of Indiana, which declares what shall conbtitut the Common School fund the net proceeds of tho sales of the swamp lands were to be a part of that fund. Section 3 of that article of the Constitution provides that "the principal of the Common School fund shall remain a perpetual fund, which may bo increased, but shall not be dimiti ished; and thrt incomo thereof shall be inviolably appropriated to the support of common schools, and to no other pur' pose whatever." Not ouly were tho Benevolent Institutions sustained, by the advice of tho State officers as above quoted, but every other demand against the Treasury was paid officers' salaries, public printing, expenses of the Penitentiaries and various other items; all this without appropriations or revenue. It is not a supposable case that the Treasurer of State would have taken the responsibility of going so far beyond the recommendation of the State officers 01 ocptemoer loin, witnoui meaavice ana approval of the Attorney General, the There are many naval officers, however, aa responsible legal adviser of the other Slate 1 weu experienced sailors in the merchant officers; and that Attorney General was i8PTice. wbo have grave doubts of the sea-Joseph E.

Jnst how mach of these funds were paid out under tbis paculiar constrnctiou of the Constitution, we do not precisely know, but the Report of tho Auditor of State, for the vear ending October 3ht. 1859, shows that there had been drawn from tho ppecial and trust funds the aggregate sum of 929,075 80, distributed as follows: From the Swamp Land Fuud I From the College Fun i f.rom Valine rom lhe ink Tux 19,517 4i From the luj KevPnueF com me i iiree per Uent.

The principal of the School Fund, in defiance of the plain mandate of the Constitution, was reduced a half million of dollars, by the act of tho Treasurer of State, by and with the advice of tho Attorney General, and it has stayed reduced. Tho Legislature could not replace it wi.hout crowding three year's taxes iuto one, which it would not do. One of the Committee whiub reported tho resolution we first quoted, denunciatory of Governor Morton, was the same Aquilla Jones who, as Treasurer of State, illegally and unconstitutionally dissipated the school funds and State debt sinking fund to the enormous extent hcreshown.

No man not trained in the school of "stiict coustructiou constitutional Democrats" could have had the cheek to report or consent to such a resolution with a history as Mr. Jone had. He does not denounce Governor Morton for violating law as he had done the State Treasury is plethoric with money, now, the fruit of taxatiou, but Governor Morton does not use that that would not be constitutional, as ho is not a "fetiict construction, constitutional Democrat," but these constitutional Democrats arraign and abuso him for succoring the blind, the dumb and the insane with the money of tho charitable, which never belonged to tba State and never was in her ticasury. Their hatred of Governor Morton is so intense that it seem; to deprive them of common 1 it if they forget the past the people shall not, and if they assume that in this campaign, they can obliterate the past history of Democratic disregard of law, and contempt of constitutional restraints, by thameless and unjustifiable 8aults upon Governor Morton or ary other person, they will be apt to realize their mistake, and learn wisdom in tba school of experience. "When the present dominant party came into power, the country was united, prosperous and comparatively free from debt." Sentinel.

Tho man who could write and publish such a falsification of history as the above, must presume largely upon the gullibility of readers. There is not a man, even among the "Sous of Liberty," so ignoran; as to be deceived by it. Before Mr. Lincoln became the President, seven. States had seceded and formed a new government hostile to the United States, and had elected JelT Davis as President.

Nearly all our forts oa the Southern coasts had been seized by tho revolted States, United States vessels, mints and other property had been violently taken possession of by the insurgents our soldiers of th." Regular Army, stationed in the South, had been captured and imprisoned cir flag had been fired on by hostile cannon Fort Sumter was besieged and an army of not less, probably, than fifty thousand men had been organized by the rebel authoiities. Is this what the Sentinel means by unity and prosperity? If this was peace, is it the same article that Milligan, Develin and the Sentinel aro clamoring for now? If that was peace we are bettor off with war, as now we give, as well as take blows then we gave none and icceived all. Indiana Journal. "A Stitcfi ix Time Saves Nixe:" In buying a dewing Machine for Family use it is too often tho practice of purchasers to deceive themselves with the idea that id a family they need a machine for light work only; now a good machine will la.t gears, and there are very many occasions, each twelve month, when a machine doing coarse, heavy work, is exceedingly desirable in a household If the machine capable of light tcori only, has heen bought, and the heavy work is put upon it, the machine gives ont, trouble follows trouble, and the sewing machine gets into disrepute in the house and neighborhood. Where is the fault hut in the fact that a strong and durable enough machine was not bouglrt? The price in its purchase had more than its proper influence tho durability of tho machine was too little thought of.

And then should occasion or convenience require the sale of the machine, the one for general work will command the readiest sale. The Weed Sewing Machines are adapted to all kinds of work, and are really the best in market. They mike the stitch alik en both sides. y. V.
