We LAST week published . programme Of
the copperheads in this State in regard TO
voting aid from Indiana, to assist their
brethren in Ohio, at the coming election this
fall. They are now holding meetings thro'-
out this State. and are passing such firm
reliarce' resolutions as the following:
THAT we. the democracy Of Allen county.
Ohio. that they will be able TO preserve the
integrity efMe Jallot-b boz. and cleo, their
noble and prosecuted exile, G. L. Vallan-
digham. to the gubernatorial chair"
Such preservation as the wolf affords to
the lamb. will the integrity of the ballot
box receive at the hands of men who "re.

a meeting been held Immediately alter the

the revolutionary war, aud the men of that
day had characterized him the noble and

mers have in the resolution above quoted.
Under the cloak Of "Gemocracy," the
integrity OF the ballottbox' was PRESCRIBED
in Kansas, by the democracy" of Missouri,
by the same mode of stufing that is now
in contemplation by the X G. c. of this
State. an intimation of which We published
from the Cincinnati Commercial of last
week. We notice that the last JY organ,
tries to throw cloud of dust around the
Commercials timely exposure of tits con-
templated copperhead rascality, by saying
that the "Repubicans in SO" colonized vo.
tiers in different counties in Indiana. We
recollect that a certain democrat" the first
letters OF whose name is Levi Druley, had
quite a number of laborers employed on his

so anxious was he to have a sufficiency of
colonized voters in the "close'' county of
Union. to elect him to the State Senate,
