them that copy Of Mr.. OGorman's GRAFTON
TO be delivered from camp TO camp by some
sonorous and graceful declaimer, would prove
immensely servceable to their cause. Mr.
O'Gorman himself, we presume, can serve
them better on this side of the Potomac, and
would decline an invitation TO Q series OF per-
sonal repetitions Of bis barangue on the other.
We are proud of the fact that such public
demonstrations of hearty sympathy with the
Slaveholders Rebellion may be made in the
loyal States with perfect impunity, while there
is no spot under the dominion Of JEFF. DAVIS
where q corresponding appeal on behalf OF
Free Labor and the Union would not cost the
utterer bis life. Nay: there are very few
places in Dixie where the author Of an
equally insidious and Thoroughbred argument
against the wisdom and justice of the Rebel
lion would not be pulled from the stand and
torn limb from limb before he bad uttered the
half of it, We trust this marked contrast will
be maintained, and that Messrs. Seward and
Stanton are thoroughly convinced of the inn
policy of arresting sympathizers with the Re-
belon for any publicly spoken words, however
unjust and unpatriotic. Let the Copperheads
hiss as venomously as they will or can, unless
they incite their dupes to actual and forcible
resistance to the authorities and laws of the
land. Since the result Of the Connecticut
election, the danger Of an outbreak on their
part has become far less serious aud imminent
than formerly. They will be less deadly
after free and frequent discharges of their
venom, and they will disgust and repel more
than they will mislead aud inAame. The cause
which 10 identified with the hopes of Universal
Freedom, and which has therefore won the
instructive sympathy of such men as Mazzini,
Garibaldi, Victor Hugo, and John Bright, along
with tho deadly hatred of the aristocrats and
reactionists, the despots and liberticdes of the
Old World, must lose more than it can gain
by any arbitrary restriction Of the Freedom Of
Speech.
The more significant feature of this demon
stration was the eager and enthusiastic
response of tho large bsdy Of Irish Democrats
present to every point made by Mr. OGor-
man in favor Of Slavery and its Rebellion.
The great mass Of them lay in wait for every
adroit parallel, every subtle alluson, tending
to establish q similarity between our fathers
struggle for Liberty aud the JEFF. Davis con-
spiracy to difiuse and perpetuate Slavery at
the expense Of our National existence, aud
hailed it with rapturous and prolonged &C.
CARNATIONS.
We do not complain Of this. Let opinion be
free, even though it be the opinion OF those
who would crush out the freedom of others,
consignng whole races to everlasting bondage.
The slaves of yesterday are known to make
harsh, tyrannical Shareholders; and it 10 a sad
fact that 4" Mans inhumanity to man" is apt to
be communicated 10 its victims. The time will
CONCEIVE trust within the lifetime Of men
now living-whon the Irish-Amercans will
deplore and even deny that the great body Of
their race were instructive and thoroughgoiDg
upholders OF Slavery aud Negotiate so long as
Slavery had an existence in our country.
Patience
But what we do complain of-and we think
with eminent reasons the insincerity and
double. dealing wherewith the War for the
Union is treated by those who fairly claim to
speak in behalf Of this class Of our fellow citi-
zens. To prove that they do speak with
forked tongues, We call attention once moro to
that remarkable portion Of the late Democratic
Legislative Address on which we have already
commented. 1t is as follows
