UNION DEMOCRATS AND COPPER.
HEADS.

We have never denounced the whole
Democratic party as being disloyal; for
many VI them have volunteered, many of
them have accepted commands uuder the
Administration aud have wrought noble
deeds Of valor in defense of their coun-
. try; many of them have been able to
say with Douglas, 81 trust the time will
never come when l shall not be willing
to forsake soy personal feeling and party
feeling and party policy for tho honor
and integrity Of my country. X The
course Of Clay and Webster toward the
Administration Of Jackson in the days
Of uulli6catiou, presents noble an wor.

The Republican party has never shown
any party feeling toward these true Dem.
ocrats. 10 calling conventions, making
nominations, and in making appoint
ments to civil and military Offices, the
Administration party has thrust upon
them no psrty politics and have required

But there is another class Of persons
Who, previous to the commencement of
the war, were within the organization of
the Democratic party but are not now
entitled to the name Democrat. We
have called these "Copperhcads' They
have adopted the name and have worn
copperhead and butternu, pins, knowing
them to be badges Of sympathy with the
rebellion. When South Carolina seced
ed they advocated the right of secession
when the President called for $4,000
volunteers; they denounced coercion;
they opposed the tax bill; discouraged
volunteering; denounced the confscation

mobs about drafting; shricked about
using negroes to whip their rebel mas

Vicksburg.
TX Gov. Wright, of Indiana, has set
forth the difference between the trne
Democrats aud the Copperhcads, as fol-
lows:
"The assertion has been made that
none but the Democratic party could save
the country. But what class of Demo.

Democrat. [AppIause. He had Vice
President OF the name OF Aaron Burr
Mr. Burr Was inside of the Democratic

not both Democrats? Coming from JEFF

Jackson had Vice President by the
name Of John C. Calhoun. Was not
Calhoun inside of the Democratic organ

Stephen A. Douglas, and was he not a
representative of the old Jefferson Jack

Of John G, Breckinridge, who was a
Democrat too. Then we have Jefferson
and Burr, Jackson aud Calhoun, and
Douglas and Breck 'nridee, all inside of
the Democratic ring. [Laughter. Do
you follow Jefferson, Jackson and Done

Do you follow these last? TCries of no,
no.'l When you hear a man saying
that the only party that can save the
country i. the Democratic party, be sure
and ascertain what he means BY the De

There can be no such thing as a true
Democrat who does not stand 10 for the
war; [Loud applause
