The Courier Of This City

nos itsclf par excellent a " loyal" jou nial, aud its editor and a litrge corpa of assistauta, exhausting the alphabet and the numeráis for sigaatures, are of the true scribe and pharisee tpyo, the selfrighteous and only patriota ot the vicinage. So confideut are they of their own poaition, and so terribíe are their deuuuciations of those who darc to believe in a different political creed, that we have ermsidered it cruel to disturb them, and have rather eujoyed reading their frequent laudiitions of themselves and iheir condemnation of their neighborslint an articlu in the issue ot the 15th iusl. cau uot bo passed without notice, even al the risk of disturbing the equanimity of thia nest of patent and exclusive patriota. In that issue one of the orps, terribly indig'-ant that Demócrata ehould rejoice over the fall of Richmond, the eurrender of Lek, and the approaching end of the war, gave vent to his all-consuming wrath as follows : Assukancb. - " When thesona of God came to present themselves before tbe Lord, Satan carne also with them." I was forcibly reminded of this scripture when the friends of' the Union came together to rejoice in the recent viotories ihat God haa given us, there were a number of those vvho last fall made j opeeches grossly abusing the Government, but had not ono word to utter in condeuiuation of the traitors and rebels who plunged us into this cruel war. ; Novv they are jubilant over what they 1 cali " our" victories, when they have not I lifïed a Jinger to secure those victories, nor said a kind word in favor of our soldiere. Indeed they have said nothing about them but to cali them Linj ooïn's hirclinga. Yes, and some of them are now fattening on offices obi tained by disfranchising those who are i Sghtiug for our liberties. The proper 1 places for thoae men is somewhere else j than in shouting Union victories. If they have a conscience, they will fee I the incongruity of their present and former position. Let them repent anc confess their wrong doing, then they I may speak. I have heard of brazenfuced people, but seldom have met witb sui:L an exhibitiou of this .s in the case to which I have alluded. But brass and coppcr are kindred metáis, as the j instüiiee before us fully shows. S. Now, we have no design to count up the Dutiiocrats who have gone into the ariny frora' this city, and who have fallen in defeuse of the country; no de sign to figure up the moneys subscribec and paid by Dvmocrats to bounty funds ; no boastings to make of donatious to nid er other societies. All this is of the past, and loyalty that needs such bolstering is not worth a red. Bul we have to advise the corps oi editors and conti ibutors of the Courier, that before they prato any more about any body cot having " lifted a finger," or before they prohibit Demócrata rejoicing over " the recent victories," they hac better clear iheir own skirts. Wordy patriotiHin will not fill - our quotas, and until the editor-in-chief pays his Bubscription made to help clear the subdistrict he honors by living in from the last draft, the sub-editors of the Courier or regular contributora would do well to let the Di-mocrata who have aided in "saving his bacon" rejoice over " the recent victories" when and as they mny see fit. - , ..,.-_ - , EF Just before Mr. Lincoln's aesasainition he received a dispatch from Portland, saying : " Beverly Tucker and Jacob Thompson will be hcre to morrow in disguiso, to leavo on the steamer for Ëurope. What shall we do 1 " Declariog it to be his intention to give the leading confederates an opportunity to leave tho country, he replied, let them go. This permission it is said was revoked by a cabinet officer while by the side of Li.vcoln's death-bed. The aseassin of Lincoln did not reuder the rebel leaders good service. 'm - ii L2jL" The radical journals are bitterly denouncing Gen. Siieuman for the terina agreed to by him as a basis of peace. All his good works and gallant deedscount for nought, and for a single mistake - and that subject to the ap proval or rejection of the Government - ho is to bc doprived of his eommand, court martialed, disgraced, and consigned to infamy. Siikioian, the " peacemaker" of the hist political campnign, is now the " traitor." It is to be hoped the Governmeut will not yield to such pafsion. L3L rpg remajns of President Lincoln- left Washington on Friday last, and will arrive at Springfield on Wedneaday next. The demonstrations of respect pnid them in Pliiladelphia, New York, Albany, and other citiefl, in transit, have been imposing and impressivo. Mrs. LiNroLN does not accompany the funeral train. 3? Junius Bkutus IJootii, the oldest of the Iiooth brothers, was arrested in Philadelphia on Wednesday, and taken to Washington.
