More Proof Of tile COppcrhcad
Design TO Import voters.

Under the above head, tho Toledo Coa,.
merciM has the following facts, which are
based upon undoubted authority:
In one of the towns of ncighhoring
county reside two men of exactly the same
name-one Il thorough Union man, the other
an inveterato Coppcrhead. Within the
past three days, the Union man took from
the Postofcc and opened letter intended
for the Coppcrhead. written in place in
Indiana, nearly adjoining the Ohio line
This letter, among other matters, contained
tho following sentence We arc coming
Orer 10 help yoU r0te ~
This conforms precisely to information
previously received from various sources.
as to the design of the Ohio and Indiana
Copperheads, and with the statement of a
correspondent Of the Bi0cic, who, writing
from Central Indiana says several men in
that locality had been hoard to swear that
they were going to Ohio TO vote. lie adds
that large amounts are being raised for the
purpose.
In further confirmation of this fraudulent
scheme, the friends of Nallaudigham say
that he will have Il ma jority of three to one
in the border counties.
In view of these facts, it becomes import
ant to know whether our friends in those
counties are fully apprised of the scheme,
and, il so, what measures they arc taking to
defeat it, They need, first, an organization
50 complete as to furnish perfect list of
every man entitled to vote next, a sufficient
number of competent and fearless challeng-
crs, to challenge the vote of every man
they may have reason to believe is not II
legal voter. Efficient means, also, should
be taken to protect the challcngcrs in the
exercise of this right, and, where assistance
may he required, let the fact be commun-
Gated at the earliest possible day 10 the
authorities at Columbus. Let the Union
men stcrnly resolve that this wicked scheme
shall be defeated at whatever hazard, and
that every man who shall attempt TO vote
illegally, whether from Indiana or elsewhere
shall be prosecuted and punished to the
full extent of the law, which is imprison-
ment in the Pcnitcntiary for long term of
years.
Let the desperate and thOughtlcss men
who, at the bidding of the more criminal
leaders, intend to practice upon the people
of Ohio the old game Of the Missouri Bor-
der Rullians in Kansas, be assured that
they can not succeed, Our people and au-
thoritics are now thoroughly forewarncd,
and those engaged in this scheme can
neither consummatc their purpose nor cs-
cape the penalty imposed by law.

that needs rcvamping it is "Thc Patience

bravely but ended, as most of them do
under annoyance, by cursiuS and swearing.
