press hdstiya Conrehtt6n Of the Stdtes."
He proposes to wait twenty or thirty
years for passion to cool, during which
time, the rebels will establish their
government permanently, and secure
the recognition Of The European States.
Remember that he has substantially
repeated these propositions in his last
two letters written from Canada. 4

has been organized in Ohio and Indi.
ana, to transfer a heavy copperhead
vote from the latter TO the former State
This organization exists principally il
the border counties of both States, along
! theline from the Ohio River to the north
line of the State, and large sums O
money have already been raised to ex
ecutc the damnable scheme. Funds
too, have been contributed in large
amounts, we are informed, in New Yorl
and elsewhere in the East, and men are
now actually employed in arranging
and putting the nttTnel ma line ii
working order; and some voters have
already been brought over and scatter
ed around. The plan is, to contrac
with and pay coppcrheads in Indiana
who have no families, to come to Ohio
ostensibly for the purpose OF laboring
who are to receive part payment in ad
vance, and take an oath that they vii
vote for Fallandigham. They are t
be forwarded by committees there t.
committees in Ohio, wEo will quietl,
distribute and locate them. They ar
chiefly to be left in large cities, ant
towns most subject to floating popula
tions, thereby to avoid suspicion. Tin
