Of our country to restore the Union and
preserve the integrity Of The Constitution

and to endure all the privations and hard-
ships that soldier must endure at this

1t is represented TO US through Admin

that the Democratic party are all Copper

schooled to believe that to be q fact, ard

North are to!d that the soldiers despise the
Northern Copperheads ten times more
han they DO the Southern traitors, and
that when we 60 home, the Copperheads
will have to lag low That is as sure as
YOU live. Now, the question arises, Who
are The Northern Copperheads2 Is this
Comprehension confined to the Democrat

The worst Copperheads that our country
is cursed With, and the only ones who in

A SICK MAN INCITEs THE MOB.

SICK MAN INCHES THE MOB.
As the crow! started down Fifth avenue

longed to the higher class of life, came out
and addressed the front of the procession.
His speech ives family spoken aud maud.

he sympathIzed heartily with the object Of
the mob, and wished he was we'll enough
TO lead them down Broadway. lie said
they should organize before proceeding a
mile further, so that they might be prepa-
red to meet any opposition from the police
or military, as they were very likely to do
before proceeding mile further. Those
who heard him gave a round of wells and
cheers and proceeded onward, conscript-
ing bystanders as they went forcing them
to fali In" and march. Some carried
rough clubs, some gaspipes. some pieces Of
telegraph wire, some legs of pianos. tables
or chairs, and some were apparently arm
ed. Our reporter at this spot saw no pis-
tolls or other deadly weapons of that kind.
bat lie was Informed that :hey were plenty
in the crowd. Paving stones were occa-
sionally thrown at houses AZ they passed
by. Some women cheered them, flourish
ing papers and handkerchefs. and others
were very much frightened and escaped

Unaware of the trouble that was brew

from his house in Nineteenth street as usu

which prevailed, and instead of proceed
ing to the Tribune Office stopped in Win
dust's restaurant, corner Of Park Row and
Ann street. Safely inside he sent word to
his friends in the Tribune office, but it W as
not deemed prudent for him to 90 ,hro'

associates in the Tribune office. and shortly
before dusk a carriage, closely crrtained
drew up before the entrance in 4 On street.
Four policemen were in the carriage, and
they stepped ont and sent word IL to Mr.
Greeley, Who shortly after issued from the
door, closely buttoned mp and disguised,
as well as could be in his ordinary dress,
and got into the carriage, attended by two
friends, who we're understood to be well
armed with revoivers. The door was clo-
sel, the curtains closely rnioned down,
and the carriage was driven up Broad way
