272 - L Nov. 9; ed: 2/1 - The New York NEWS has undertaken the defense
of the recent movement in the Scuth of arming the slaves. With hypo-
critical anxiety for the welfare of our armies, it asks in feigned
horror: "Unable now to do much more than hold our own against the white
troops of the South, how can we expect to do so when they shall be re-
enforced by four or five hundred thousand able-bodied Negroes."
"The truth is, there has never been a lou er wail of despair than
this new movement to arm the slaves, recommended by the Rebel Governors
and advocated by the Rebel press. It is an a mission that having ex-
hausted all white soldiers, there is no hope for them unless they can
manage to compel the slaves into their support.
"Let this last movement in the hideous catalogue of crimes, perpe-
trated by the Rebellion only, be carried out, slavery will cease, and
the strength and motive of the Rebellion be gone." (14)

642 - L. Sept. 6; ed: 2/1 - It is astonishing to see how the New York
NEWS, Cincinnati ENQUIRER, and the CRISIS, organs of Jeff Davis, have
accepted McClellan.
Indeed, the whole wretched litter of sniveling peace sneaks every-
where, have already made their bow to their new but hated leader, and
their policy will be to say as little about the war as possible, leav-
ing the more belligerent Democracy to laud the military course of Mc-
Clellan, while they devote themselves to Pendleton and the platform.
To all men possessing a spark of American pride, the spectacle is dis-
gusting. (8)

1350 - L. Mar. 18; ed: 2/3 - Jeff Davis' organ in New York city starts
with "Now's the day, and now's the hour" in their daily quota of non-
sense and treason. - -
"It is a signal proof of the strength and forbearance of our Govern-
ment, that it tolerates the existence of such a nuisance as the New
York NEWS." (3)

1526 - L June 1; ed:2/2 - The New York NEWS says: "The Democrats are
those who believe in the sacred and iral ienable right of sovereign states
to rule themselves. War Democrats are men who utterly repudiate the sov-
ereignty of states.
"If War Democracy has nothing better to propose than this, the people of
the states will very shortly see the difference between such pitiful
hypocrisy and the good old Democracy of Jefferson and Jackson. We prefer
the Constitution as it was, with the Union as it is." (5)

1574 - L Nov. 21; ed: 2/1 - Since the Democratic party was defeated,
things have quieted down a great deal, but in some quarters a feeble
attempt is being made to put new life into dead issues, which can never
be resurrected. "No public effort of the New York NEWS and others can
vivify them again." It is rumored that some wily leaders, seeing ruin
unless they retrace their steps, have decided to take radical and ad-
vanced ground on the subject of slavery and the war. They propose to
take the lead in abolishing slavery by an amendment to the constitution,
thus snatching salvation from the confusion of their overthrow.
"This is their only hope. Had they nominated Grant or Dix, and
planted themselves on the side of Freedom, today they might have been
masters of the hour." (6)

1590 - L June 16; ed: 2/1 - Fremont, in his letter of acceptance, says
nothing of continuing the war and is very guarded on the subject of
confiscation. He has already attracted the drowning Democracy. The
New York NEWS contains a letter signed "Peace Democrat," favoring the
nomination of Fremont. "It would not be at all surprising if this
should be done at Chicago." (2)

1981 - L Dec. 26; ed: 2/1 - The New York NEWS published a letter signed
Abolitionist saying that if the South abolisles slavery. Wendell Phillips
and other abolitionists would favor recognition of Southern independence.
"This is a grave mistake. There may be a few hot-headed abolitionists
who would favor such a policy, but that species is not found in these
parts." - - (2)

2296 - L Oct. 27; ed:2/2 - "Copperheads" are anxiously waiting for some
military disaster to befall our arms and are anxious to make out that
Sherman is in a bad way. The New York NEWS has been trying for a veek
to prove that disaster awaits our army in Georgia, and knows there is
no chance of success at the coming election unless it can make an im-
pression that disasters have befallen our army. "But victory perches on
all our banners and the Copperheads are doomed to disappointment." (3)

the Rebellion have sent petitions from England asking the United States
government to make peace with the South. Over 300,000 names are
attached to it, covering over 700 yards of canvas.
"The tons and language of the petitions are familiar to the WORLD,
the NEWS, the Chicago TIMES, the Cincinnati ENQUIRER, and the PLAIN
DEALER. . . . . . . -- " " . . . .” -
"It was entirely unnecessary for 300,000 Englishmen and Irishmen, , , --
women and children, to send this petition to Governor Seymour. We have
plenty of such talk at home." - - - - . . . . . (13)
