Kentucky and Mnryiand-Coppcrhead
and Niggcrhcad Complaints.
The political reader will lind in another part
OF this paper two very curious and suggestive
letters-.he one on the late Kentucky elec-
tion, the other on the approaching Maryland
election-the first from coppcrhead corres-
pondent of the Ne,os, and the second from a nig-
gerieGd correspondent Of the Tribune. The cop
pcrhead shows how the late Kentucky election
was engineered by the federal administration
against the copperheads, and the niggerhead
shows how part Of the administration is engi-
neering to defeat the niggerheads in Maryland
The copperhead roars Justify over the accom-
plished defeat of his party in the West
but tile niggerhead blubbers quite as noisily
over the anticipated thrashing Of his faction in
the East. Such a pair of unru'y oxen deserve
well to be yoked together. a
Ben Woods copperhead correspondent ad-
mits that the Issue in Kentucky was between
the conservative Union war party and the cop
perhead peace party, the platform of which was
"No more men and no more money to wage an
abolition unconstitutional war; or, in other
words, the election was between the "men and
money" party and the "no more men and no
more money party" But he says that, as the
day of election approached. the men aud money
party became alarmed; that "bayonets had to
be invoked again." that the pretence Of guc-
rlla invasion was siezed upon; that General
Burnside thus stepped forward as master of
ceremonies; but, continues the indignant cop
perhead commentator, ~ will not sicken you
with the details of this sad, this melancholy
transaction, styled an election. You know the
result, and, in Gods name, that is enough"
''Anl yet, would you believe it," says this dis
gusted copperhead, "the men who rejoice over
this disgraceful transaction, who instigated it,
who boast Of it, claim to be democrats, mud
commend themselves to the Northern democracy
as co.workers against federal tyranny"
1t is evident that this Kentucky copperhead
is considerably muddled and befogged with tile
results Of the Kentucky election; but very
few words, we think, will serve to explain the
mystery. The successful party in the election
was Union conservative party, emphatically
| opposed to the policy of the emancipation pro-
| .camation and to all the, extreme ncgro war
measures of the abolition faction, but still in
favor ofmen and money for the suppression of
the rebellion, as the only way in which we can
restore the "integrity Of the Union" In short,
the war policy Of this party was that embraced
in the almost unanimous resolution Of Congress
passed at the extra war session Of 1861. Upon
this broad Union platform there was no diff
Guilty in bringing about fusion of all the old
conservative wings and democrats of Kentucky.
AS for the abolition faction of the State, it
amounts practically to nothing. But, in oppo-
sition to the Union war party, there was this
copperhead peace party, or the secession and
Southern confedcracy wing of the old demo
cratic party. This mere fragment of the old
democracy had already suffered loss Of per-
haps not less than forty thousand men, drawn
of into the rebel armies, q whole brigade of
them, for instance, under Breckinridge, hav-
ing joined the army of Bragg. The Union vote,
therefore, In Kentucky, being fusion Of con-
servative men of all parties, was comparatively
heavy in the late election; while the copper
head vote, being only that Of a reduced rem
nant Of the secesh democracy, was exceedingly
! light and feeble. Burnside, we know, issued
his proclamation against all dsloyalists; but
we dare say that II he had issued forty procla-
nations, or no proclamation at all, the result
would have been substantially the same.
So much for the late Kentucky election and
the copperheads Now for the approaching Ma
ryland election and the niggerheads. According
to the Tribune correspondent, Mr.. Postmaster
General Blair and Mr.. Secretary Seward are
working in Maryland with the coppcrheads
| against the niggerheads The Tribune man
says "it is darkly limited and generally under
stood that the member Of the Cabinet from
Maryland (Mr. Blair) is not so entirely satisfied
with the firm array Of the emancipationists of
the State, and would prefer less decided
policy. II would have been better, it is in
sisted, to have gone into the coppsrhead con-
vention, and, If outvoted, to have acquiesced."
Worst Of al, General Schenck, being q radical
Of the Burnside class, it is charged by this Tri-
bwne man that there has been in the Blair cor
ner Of the Cabinet, and Is, can organized effort
to remove General Schenck, and great fears
are expressed that he will be 80 pertinacieusly
persecuted BY still curtailing his command as
to compel him to retire In disgust" To make
sure work upon this point It seems that Mr..
Seward has been hobnobbing with Stanton at
| the War Once and that Stanton haa bean Msof.
