We shall not waste time in arguing with
the Oopperheads. Men who are capable of
justifying the rebels and espousing their cause
when the blood OF some member of almost
every loyal family rsdiens Southern soil, and
the bones Of the Republics Soldiers are worn
as ornaments by rebel women, are not likely
to be convinced by argument, or to be per-
vious to any thing short of bayonet thrust.
But one suggestion we will make. IF Mr..
Vallandingham. or any Of his felow-copper-
heads, will visit any large camp Of loyal
troops, either in the East, West, North or
South, and will, in the presence Of the SOL
diers, express the sentiments they have ut
tered at Newark, New Jersey, or New York,
and il, without the protection of the Generals
and Provost Marshals, who they so heartily
abuse, they succeed, after delivering their
speech, in making their escape with their
lives, and without coat of tar and feathers,
we shall agree that Democratic Copperheads
may bo fairly tolerated. Our soldiers are
anxious to have the challenge accepted.

EX-GOY. Hicks.

What a creature of circumstance is man
how differently no viii act, when acted upon
By one influence from what he will when an
other influence, is brought to bear upon him.
Senator Hicks, having received his appoint
ment from Governor Bradford, before he
reached Washington, and was at home among
his loyal fcllow-citizens, gave utterance to the
most decided sentiments of attachment to the
Administration, and of his purpose to sustain
it in all its leading measures. To us, I'M
asked and voluntarily, he declared his pur-
pose to support the emancipation policy of
the President, asserting that it was the only
true policy. We confess that we were little
surprised Mt the strength of his remarks, and
the apparent sincerity with which he made
them, and congratulated ourselves, in that we
would have Senator who would truly re-
feet the sentiments Of large majority Of the
decidedly loyal mon Of the State. What then
has been our surprise to find him arrayed
with the enemies of the Government against
every leading measure upon which he has
been called to vote-against Mr.. Chase's f.
nancial scheme-a scheme which the wealth.
lest Union Bankers Of Baltimore waited on
Our delegates in Congress and urged them to
support, against the bill compromising Mis-
souri, for the emancipation of her slaves, and
rumor says, even seeking the Presidential
presence to deuounce the scheme proposed to
rid Maryland of slavery, or more properly
to compensate loyal Shareholders for what is
now without value. =

member, that while the loyal men of the State
are disposed to overlook his weakness when
he suffered himself to fall into tho hands of
the traitors in Baltimore, and committed that
high bunder of addressing the rebels in Mon
ument Square under the State flag, that they
cannot forget his subsequent course Of at
tempting to prevent Gen. Butler from land
Ing his troops at Annapolis, and his protest
against government forces passing through
Maryland to the protection OF the capital
When these acts were being performed, he
was In no danger OF maltreatment from mob
of traitors but was under the sure and Ger
tain protection Of loyal bayonets in the hands
of patriots who would have used them sue
cessfully for his dcfonss. These things with
others that might be mentioned, are not for
gotten, if they have not been brought up in
review before him. He should therefore, not
raise hopes that be intends to blast. If he
docs not intend to stand by tho administra-
ton, let him say so, and we shall know what
to expect; but if no wishes to carry out bis
promises voluntarily made to his friends be-
fore and since his appointment. he will have
to change his course very materially, and he
had better do it forthwith. lie is on the
brink Of ruin, and another step will dash him
on the destruction that awaits him from the
deceived hopes of his betrayed countrymen.

The COpperhead Democracy.

That pink Of traitors, and audacious de-
nunciator Of the Government OF which he is
not fit to be subject, Clement Vallandins-
ham, member of Congress from Ohio, made
speech last week in which he avowed him
self "Copporhcad." number of the edi-
tors of Democratic Journals have also rcjoced
in the title. 1t may interest our readers to
learn what it means and how it came to be
applied to class Of politicians.
A contemporary gives us the following YER
sion:
a "copporhead," according to the Ameri-
can Cyclopedia, is "a venomous serpent-the
head is thick--the neck contracted, aud its
scales smooth, there are no rattles, the tail
being short--near tho TANKS are rounded
dark blotches--it prefers dark and moist pla-
ces--it gives no warning of its proximity
foeds on mice, email birds, etc., and seldom
attacks man--it is slow and clumsy in its
motions, and very slight blow suf1ices to
kill tit is also called "copperhead" and
'.deaf adder"
1t cannot DO denied that the analogy be-
tween this loathsome creature and tho mean,
sncaking politicians who are now distracting
the loyal mind with cries of peace, is quite
striking. Like the copperhesd, the peace
party are "vsnomous' in their attacks on the
nation, like It, their "head" is undoubtedly
thick" like it, their meek" and reach are
CONTRACTED" Their scales too, are smooth"
and they have no rattles to warn the honest
traveller Of their insdious approach. Like
the copperhead, their character is Sustained
by dark blotthes" and, like it, they "profer
dark places" to the light of day. Like that
sneaking reptile, their prey is "small, feeble
creatures" and they seldom venture to at
tack man." If we add that our political
Democratic Coppsrhsads, like their reptile
tyne are so "slow and clumsy in their mo-
tions" that they deserve the additional cogno-
man of "Chuuk heads" and "deaf-adders," and
that "a very slight blow" makes an end OF
them we shall have made the analogy COM
plete. 1t is crcditable to the discsrnment OF
Of our Western fellow citizens that they SO
