Lay aside all other business and attend the
polls and see that all Union men who are
entitled to vote turn out; and the Cop

never thrust themselves before the PEG

Since Mrs. Nallandigham has made
such signal failure in her attempt to 90
crazy on account of the arrest of her
husband, the copperheads have lost a
theme upon which they had expected to

critical oratory. Notwithstanding the
great amount of suffering on the part of

and South, the cops display all their
sympathy for Nalland CHAM and Others

tlnues to avow his loyalty to the United
States. But he has shown himself an
enemy to the enemies Of the South. He
has denounced the war waged against rs.
and tho usurpa'ions Of the ,yrant at
Washington. He has defended the broad
principles Of Constitutional liberty for
which We are 6ghtin,, ard for doing
that, he has been exied. We therefore
