The remaining thirty thousand voters are case-hardened secessionists and latter-day war men, who glory in their efforts to destroy the Union—who have no regrets for the pa3t, save that they failed to establish the Confederacy—who hate the flag, and the government, and the Northern people, and who are looking anxiously for some convulsion at Washington and 'in the Northern States which will crush the real friends of the Union, and place their friends and allies, the copperheads, in power. These are the followers of Gov. Worth, once a Union man, but now a tool in the hands of secessionists and bloody war men.
