Let no man who mas shown
the fangs of the copperhead ever
be trusted where the interests or
honor OF the country are at stake.
BY all this we do not mean to
insinuate that there are not ma
ny honest Democrats in the coun-
try who are beginning to see the
fatal errors of their pro-slavery
leaders, and to what they are
tending, and who are finding no
choice before them but to sever
their connection with the organi.
cation. To the sincere action of
all such let all due honor be as
cribed.

boys say that if they have to come
back to settle the hash with them
they will give them hotter time

HOW TO DO IT.

Our Legislature having ad-
journed without making any ap-
preparation for the support of the
benevolent institutions of the
State, the Commissioners of Me-
rion county have made a verv
handsome appropriation to ena-
ole these institutions to be kept
in operation We hope other
counties, and our own among the
number, will follow the noble
example set them, and that the
institutions will not be permit
ted 10 anguish. While this
course will be proper and credit
able In every way, it will form
the most efiectuaI rebuke to that
spirit cf violence and anarchy
that characterized the speeches
and conduct of the copperhead
minority Of our legislature, and
VIII be the best vindication oil
the conduct of the minority in
retiring father than allow the
majority to perpetrate their dev.
ilish and reasonable designs.

suffered terribly at the hands Of the
soldiers. In many instances every eat,hle,

could use or eat, was taken and the house
buraed. In fact it seems to me the obi,ct
OF this army has been to consume South
