Gov. BRAMLETTR ON THE CoPPERHEADs.-
Gov, BRAMLETTE, of Kentucky, in his recent
message, says:
ITO ~sympathize with rebellion is wrong, if
rebellionis wrong. But as mere sympathy
can not endanger the life of the Government,
it may be tolerated, though wrong. Yet,
when that sympathy assumes the form of aid
or encouragement to treason, and tends to
promote it either by acts or 11ords, the duty of
those who would perpetuate our political free
dom, as secured only by our Government, is
to stay the work of treason by inaicting up
on its workers such restraints and penalties
as will enforce obedience and respect to the
Government of our fathers"
The Governor adds that expressed sympa-
thy or advocacy Of rebellion is giving moral
force to rebellion, and that those who are too
injuriously affected by treason have the right
to Danish its sbadots, as well as its substance.
He therefore concludes:
Il therefore recommend that our penal code
be amended so as to provide proper prevent
~atlves, as well as punitive remedies, for eUerp
form Of reasonable action, q0hether 1t consists
in acts or Words which tend to promote or en-
courage rebellion"
What will the Copperheads say to this doc
trine? No Republican or Union Democrat
has taken a moresradical position in the right
of the Government to suppress sedition.
