THE COPPERmEAD CANDIDATE,

Charley Brown alas finder Box is pres
sing himself with all the vigor with which
.heis possessed on the people of the State,
and from his own words he would wish to
be elected, as he no doubt thinks he can
follow up the vices of his brothers Sauls-
bury and Bayard He says in the close Of
his address to the Rebel Convention "that
as they have made him their standard
bearer without solicitation or even ExPEc-
TATIoN on his part, it became their duty,
if they would be true to themselves and the
great and vital principles they advocated,
to use their best endeayors to follow up
differentiation by a triumphant election
We have no doubt that they will, with all
the trickery which that party have invaria-
bly, practised, do their best to elect him,
but by a united push and pull all togeth-
er, we will floor this gay deceiyer," and
send him to his peaceful retirement in
which he says he had hoped to end his
days. In his speech he openly denounces
all the acts of the Administration and OF
the Government, and advises their career
to be checked by electing Rebel Con-
gress. We should think, if we had many
such renegades in Congress, that the reins
of the Administration would be checked
to such an extent that another President
would aever be at the head of our Govern
ment; but we would then be ruled by the
despotic reins of Monarch. We hope
the voters will prefer free country with
a President at its head, rather than colo
ny bound down by the tyranny of a des
potic King. By voting for the Hon. N
B, Smithers you will have this peaceful
country with President, and by voting
for finder Box Brown you will have TIN
pleasure of being ruled by King. "Lool
before you leap" and we feel confden
that your choice will be in favor Of Smith
: ers and the grand old Union Of our fathers
To have an idea of his eminence abroad
we will quote the words of the 5Sludd.

Is it not time, then, War Democrats to
break loose from party which is using you
for purposes which you must abhor? What
practical difference does it make whether you
believe in coercion, or in the right of peaceful
secession, so long as you support a party
which is pledged to play into the hands of
the rebels and whose success would be hailed
in Richmond as the promise of speedy and
permanent dissolution of the Union Your
party has long since cast from its bosom all
Unconditional Union men-all who are labor
ing earnestly to vindicate our nationality by
forcing armed rebellion to submit to the Con-
stitution and the law. Already party favors
are sternly refused to those who have drawn
their swords in defence Of their country, and
it is understood that a soldier of the Republic
has no chance for nomination in Democratic
Convention. This is no party for honest men
who love their country, unless they wilfully
allow their intelligence to be blinded by pre-
ljudice, or suffer themselves to be deceived by
the demagogues who solicit their votes. Join,
then, with those who support the Admins
tration, not because it is Republican, not be-
cause it uses the merge to strike down the
son, but because il represents the country,
the Constitution, the law and because, in the
fearful perils which surround us, to it is con
fded the ark, which is our only salvation in
! the wilderness. ~ H
