TINS great State, involving its destiny and that
OF the nation, was to be shaped by the councils
OF these sympathizers with treason; for Il vas

mass of diplomatic verbiage in which thew have
chosen to bury it, aud Democrats here who stand
high In the councils of the party admit that the
Copperhead game is up. Some credit is claimed
Tor the Executive on the ground that he has de-
c'ded not to resist the Conscrption act, as il the
very thought OF such thing was not in itself a
crime OF the deepest dye. But whatever the
means may be which have brought it about It ia
to know that these party leaders

. mere Is no reason to question the general re-
LIABILITY OF these statements, and it would be
1iincuit to over-estimate their Importance. The
dangerous form OF opposition to the vital policy
d the Government into which the Democratic
party mas been drifting, is to be essentially medi
led. The Democrats are to take the ground
hat it is necessary to press the war to a yicto-
ious termination, and to call National Con-
'ention for the settlement of sectional Difficult.
les They will of course oppose the Adminis-
ration's mode OF warmaking, and indulge in
hostile and unfair criticisms of the party and
'ersons in power. But nothing of that kind
iced be alarming The country has aourished
'nder such opposition in peace, and can be suc-
essful under it in war. If the Democratic party
will come up to the work of standing by the
government in essentials, exerting its power to
ring the war to successful issue, and looking
o the future of an united country for its reward
ne rebellion will presently be crushed out -
here is no doubt about it. To abandon the

lost sagacious leaders and patriotic masses of
