1t is but little more than two months since the
first of January. A little more than two months
since the President declared forever free the slaves
of ali rebels, in arms against the liberties of the
Country, That was a glorious day in the history
of events in oursRspublic, and one that win be
remembered by all religious creeds, and by all po-
litical parties. The Copperhead JEFF Davis sym.
pathizers at the North, had long before predicted
that the carrying out Of that act, would turn loose
upon the States of the North, thousands of demi-
sAvages, who, lswless, would rob and burn, plum
der and steal, until our jails and prisons would
be filled to OVERLOOKING, with the subjects OF Lin
coins humanity. The e~venttul day arrived, Ev-
cry jeff Davis shrieking, bowling cur, ran ram~
pant through the streets, and covered the house,
tops, waiting foI the swsrm!ng host of wooiyheads
TO make their appearance, The sun reached the
meridian, and still they watched, Some thought
they could discern a dark cloud in the distance,
no larger TIM a mans hand.
Bnt evening approached, and still they did not
come. and the vorshipers iof Baal shrieked and
howled and cut Themselves. But the god W as
deaf, and darkness covered their shame, and they
skunk back to their holes discounted, The next
great discovery made by these disciples of King
JEFF, is, that there is a scarcity OF help III the
Northern States and labor as a consequence, com
mands a high price, and it i5 nearly encouraging
to ace these Copperheads h~urrying off to the cities
to hunt up black help, but truly mortifIng to be-
hold the chagrin on their return, as they say ma,
ry niger to be found. Thus, according to their
" acknowledgement, there are no more colored
people in the North, (here) than before the issuing

the negro to fight Cor his own liberty, and the I'm,
ion of the States. And at the same time these trails
tors. to whom Arnold is an angel compared with
their black infamy.l in open convention, and in
secret Onclaves, opposed every draft of white
men. or of men white outside, but within an open
sepulchre, full of all manner of corruption.
The same hostility to the government continues.
New schemes are being proposed daily by the Cop
perheads, and new strings tsken up on which to
harp their reasonable votes. / have no regard

L think but little Otthe man who says he = 'is will

purchase a dishOnorable peace. Copperheads ev-
e~rywhere are united. They act in unison. Repub
lcan Union Administratiopists are TOO CaSu. They
know their cause is a just one. and consequently
relax much of the efforts necessary to counterfeit
the workings Of the Secession element. No man
can occupy neutral ground. He ia either for or
against the Union-he Whole Union. am oppos.
ed to all compromises, to all patch work, or any
connection, or dealing with men, who are not an

smRcks oil the 6utternut stripe.
L do not think Union men should vote for a man
for path master, unless heis of the same senti-
ment.
And unless such vigilance is exercised, defeat
stares the Union cause in the face.
Our soldiers in the field, are true and patriotic
now but left subject tot secession influences there
and traitors at home to discourage them by CD
posing the war, and writing lies, and sending w.
ing papers, which misrepresent the loyal sentiment
of the North, they may become discouraged in
time, and no soldier will fight we'll, whose heart
is not in the cause. Let us awake to greater Wig
lance, and let the masses only v0te for such men
and buy of, and sell to such men as are known to
be true and loyal. And above ali, let us discoun>
tenHnce reasonable sayings and sentiments, aud
give Copperheads to understand that if they wish
to utter their reasonable spawn, they must leave
for Dixie, where they belong. Let US have auni>
ted people, who bear each others burdens, and all
will be well. G. |. S.
