recoils, while the balls tear up the earth

Letter from Coppock's Mother.
SPRINGDALE, Sd mo-, 4th, go.


FRIEND EDITOR: There is certaa class Of
people who seem to make doubling business.
Why that refined visitor of yours should
doubt the authenticity of my letter to Gov.
Letcher is unknown to thousands. 10 imagine
that such letter as that would be written,
and the name. date and place of residence
forged, is too palpable an absurdity to be
palmed on an enlightened Republic Perhaps
he thinks that the grievances, wrongs and
insults that have received from his country
have not been sufficient to call out my atten-
ton. Perhaps he thinks that the North mas
got so accustomed to taking abuse, hectoring
and domineerng from that quarter ever since
the days of '76. that she is expected to take
them Tor all coming time, without recoiing
under the iron rod. Or, rather, perhaps he
does not think at all. -.
10 In regard to the doubtful letter, some Of
my Springdale friends asked leave to send it
to the Chicago Press then copied it, and read
1t oyer to, me to See # correct, and then sent
it by Uncle Sam and this is hero it got there.

DOlNGS AT THE CAPITAL,
DEsMoINEs. March 9. 1860

EDITOR JouRNAL:--Thc Senate, yesterday,
reconsidered the vote by which, on the day
before, it had passed the resolution calling on
the Executive for information in regard to the
Coppock requisition matter, Drummond, of
Benton, voting with the Democrats on this
proposition, for the purpose of attaching to
Mr.. Wilson's resolution further one of his
own. The whole subject was finally ind I'll
nitely postponed. A good deal of time has
been squandered on this matter
The Senate, in Committee of the Whole,
has passed upon all of the Civil Practice Act
which will 60 through this body as amended
in few unimportant particulars by the
Judiciary Committee. In this shape, it is
believed it will become the law, and will be a
very great improvement on our present Code.
The House las been engaged good deal of
the time, for two days, in the discussion of
the liquor business. A good IN ny "big
speeches. have been made by the advocates
of free lager, tree whisky, and no liquor at all,
in favor of their respective schemes, the result
of all which will probably be to leave the
whole matter just as it stands upon the
statute books now.
A very animated little fight was had in the
House, to- day, on the matter of the requisition
for Coppock. \ Democratic Representative
INTRODUCED an offensive resolution on the
subject, for which Mr. Gurley, of Scott,
introduced substitute, which the Democrats,
by every means within their power, did their
utmost to defeat. The fight commenced at
10 o'clock, and was kept up, without inter-
mission, till nearly three. Motions tc adjourn
calls of the House, and all other parliamentary
tactics, were resorted to, but without avail
The Republicans "haxed 'em out good"
passed Mr.. Gurley's resolution, and refused
to reconsider. twas amusing enough to see
Representatives, with pies, cakes. dried beef,
and so on, on their desks, refusing to be
starved, and once in while member getting
up, and, in az. excited manner, letting out a
motion and a mouthful Of ''vittels." After
all this fight, the House adjourned till
tomorrow morning.

The great speech of VIM. II. Seward
on the admission of Kansas is now the all
absorbing topic of the land All conservative
men approve it, and even Mr.. Stewards
political enemies can find no fault with it.
The New York Commercial Advertiser. a
thoughtful and discriminating journal, finds
in it complete exposition and justification
of Republican principles. 1t says: .
"Not alone as Republicans, but as American
freemen, we thank Senator Seward for his
noble exposition of the great principles of
Republican freedom, and this triumphant
defense of the Republican party from the false
accusations that have been made against it.
As members of the party, constrained to
admit that the Senator from New York must
be acknowledged as its representative and the
expounder of its policy, we looked forward
with no little anxiety to speech which all
felt was to become a textbook with Republi-
cans, and had been carefully prepared with
that intent. AS such we cheerfully receive it,
and whether the speaker himself be the NOM
inee for the Office of President of this Republic,
or some other gentleman standing upon the
same platform, we feel sure that every one
will recognize in the dissemination and
supremacy of such doctrines the highest
security for the perpetuity and welfare of that
glorious Union which is the common Inherit
ance of North and South and East and West"
The Providence Journal, abiding to this
speech, says: ..:4.-at
"Mr. Seward traces with master hand the
bearings of the slavery question upon the
political history of our country. He points
out the steady downward course of the Dem
ocratic party in its subserviency to the inter-
ests of slavery, until it has reached its present
extreme position, so far removed from that
which the founders of our government occu-
pied. He sets forth the noble and peaceful
ends which the Republican party propose,
and vindicates them triumphantly from the
accusations which their opponents have
brought against them. A large portion-the
closing part-of his speech is devoted to
declaration of the mistaken belief of Mr..
Seward in the perpetuity of the Union, and
most eloquent exposition of the reasons for
this faith. The calm dignity, the quiet
strength, the exalted principle, the lofty
patriotism, of this speech, have rarely been
equaled, and never excelled by Mr. Seward.
There could be no more fitting rebuke to his
violent enemies, both in the North and the
South. 1t contains no word or syllable that
hints at an abandonment of his cherished
ideas; and yet it is so courteous, and kindly,
and manly in its tone, that not even his most
prejudiced foe can find in it cause of
complaint" ..'@ .'..

The New Democratic Platoon.

In defiance of the earnest protest of many
leading Democratic papers, certain Democrat
ic Senators at Washington have constructed
scafolding for the execution of Douglas at
Charleston. The resolutions they have
drawn up adopt the Buchanan theory as to
slavery in the Territories, specially denounce
the squatter sovereignty and unfriendly leg
islation of Douglas, substantially endorse the
slave code policy, and will. if adopted by the
Charleston Convention, as is intended, pre-
clude the nomination of the Little Rebel.
The New York Tribune's Washington
correspondent says:
1t is not improbable, ifthis platform should
be adopted at Charleston, which the South
will certainly demand if Northern man
should be nominated. that third candidate
may be run after the example Of Van Buren,.
Sagacious Democrats regard the party as
morally disrupted, and admit Republican
success with ordinary discretion.
