This Is platform broad enough to afford
place for every loyal citizen. Those who can
not OCCUPY such position ought, logically,
to be with the Copperheade, or with tic reb.
els, which is indeed very much the came
thing. To maintain the Union, is In my
the tanc thing as TO sustain the Administra-
ton. To profess an attachment to the for
mer, while opposing the latter, II not insin-
cere Is certainly Illogical.
The undivided and earnest support of all
1oya1Ists. ougbt therefore, to be cordially aud
chcerfllly given to the existing Executive
During the earlier period Of the rebellion,
evidence OF weakness, and fmbecllity, or what
was worse, want of tat1estness on the part Of
the Administration, In the prosecution OF the
war.
If this WIS in any measure true, It is but
simple justice to credit that administration
with al the glorious victories and successes,
which bestird, and must forever make the
month Of July, 1868, memorable in the annals
Of American history. ...
The fact is worthy Of being recalled, that
Aaron Burr, Copperhead Of The o1den time,
used Substantially the same language in speak
ing Of George Washington, that the Copper
heads Of the present day employ in speak
ing Of Abraham Lincoln.
Parton says TINT "Burr thought Gaorge
Washington was bad General, and IN hon
est, weak man." Honest, but weak and im-
beetle, is the language which contemporary
opponents app1y to Lincoln.
History will correct the estimate Of the lat
ter very much, as 1t has already corrected
that Of The former. It has always seemed to
me. impo1itic, not to say cruel, to sharply
criticise eyen the mistakes of an executive
weighed down and surrounded with cares and
peTple1ities, such as have fallen to but few Of
those upon whom have been laid the affairs
Of Government
While, therefore, shouts Of acclaim are as
cending for the Union from the vast con
course which shall assemble on the Sd, I
hope, and know, that three hearty, deep
toned cheers will be given for Abraham Lin
coin, who is not only honestly, but ably, IN

rible wilderness Of this rebellion into the
Canaan Of Union. peace and immortal free.

The many friends of Junius H: Browne,
who hare beer pained By the circulation Of
d rumor Of his death, reported to hare taken
place about the 1st inst, will be relieved Of
Ill suspense, even that which mfghtress upon
a possibility, by the following letter, received
this morning. It will be seen that on Thurs
t1aJ last he was not disposed to gratify the
Richmond editor, who was anxious to send
him on an unpleasant journey:

euiug, Aug 20, 1863.-Frieud A1dfe We are here

men were negroes! Even to this extent has
slavery blasted the moral, and political
perceptions Of the nation, contounding the
national intellect. so that it sees no way to
cxticate itself from the bog Of this deep
and damning disgrace. 1t is true that
Philadelphia paper alluded to the fact Of
the seizure, and put it forward as are,son
why the negroes should be trusted with
arms to defend Themselves; but mo one
erer looked upon it as grave violation OF
the law Of nations, return to the worst
customs Of leathen barbarism, reducing
those who practice it, to say nothing OF
those who submit to it in. silence. to the
leTcl of The savagcs Of Dahomey.
Let it be remembered that these negroes
were peaceful citizens, who had nothing
whatever to do with the war as belliger-
ents, not one Of them was slave, and yet
they were seized and sold into slavery.
On what authority, according to what
usage Of civilized warfare was this horrible
crime committed? There is no. precedent
for it outside the history Of the Barbary
Corsairs, who were denounced as pirates,
for these very deeds, and spurned beyond
the pale Of humanity as yermin whom
any one might kill, at his pleasure and
opportunity. Do the people see where all
this leads-are they conscious Of tile tre-
mcndous wrong which has been done to
them, and to all the civilized world? II
they do not protest against it, and urge
the same course upon the Government, we
shall stand convicted Of suffering the
rebels to incorporate system Of barbarism
upon this continent, for which the world
will mt. and ought not. to hold us guilt
less. To seize and sell into slavery an
American citizen whether he be white or
black, is the crime Of a monster, for whom
there ought to be no mercy, and we hare
right to demand tkat every ono Of these
free negroes SO seized and sold shall be
returned to us to demand it in the name
Of civilization, and to call upon all the
civilized Powers, for all ofthcm hayc been
outraged by Ills rebellious deed, not to
help us to conquer the rebels, but to cx-
press their contempt and horror Of the
crime, and to unite with US in insisting
that the negroes shall be returned to Their
homes.
4 chance like this to unite the Euro
pean Governments with us, and band
them against the barbarian rebels may
never occur again during the war; and
although this is comparatively low ground
to take, in view Of the mighty issues in
yolycd, it would be better to adopt cycn
this platform for our remonstrance, than
to suffer the occasion to pass away with
out further notice.

WMAT OF TEE NIGHT I


What o1 the night? What are the signs
Of promise? Everywhere the watchmea
answer, it goes well. The hopes SO often
crushed, the expectations SO many times
disappointed in the Last two years, are now
rapidly reaching glorious trr1ition, and
each days sun brings US nearer the glad
time when the Republic shall have G1ndi-
Gated its integrity and its vital power !;
when order and peace shall reign again in
our borders, and the black stain Of slavery
washed out, give assurance Of future Sta
bility and prosperity. Our arms are
every where victorious; rebels at the
South fleeing from before our banners
and peace-craycns at tho North sinking
away from popular indignation; our cur
rency unimpaired and our credit main-
tanned; prosperity waiting upon our COM
merce and manufactures, and success in
all the yocations Of life; the honor Of the
Republic yindicatcd and its power recog-
nizcd at home and abroad. These are the
fruits Of war which has developed un-
known resources, and latent power, and
placed us upon basis Of permaneuce, COM
manding the respect if not the admiration
Of European monarchies and despotisms.
What Of the night at the South? A
country rent with faction and feud; dis
trust and jealousy pervading her councils;
her armies scattered and broken; her lead
ers dying aud fleeing; her estates wasted
and rayaged wretched and disappoint-
cd man in the very embrace Of death des-
peratclY endeaTo1ing, in the ecstacy Of his
wrath, to repair his fortunes, by throwing
arms into the hands Of his bondmen !;
Floyd, Yancey, Holmes and Pcmberton
dead; Pryor resigned; Toombs inyeigh-
ing against currency; Bragg fugitive;
Polk driving away trouble In the bot
tie; the army distracted and bro
ken, regiment fighting against resi-
ment, and thousands fleeing to the
mountains; commerce ruined, manufac-
tu1es stopped, fu1ms laid waste; foreign
and domestic aid cut of; the guns Of the
"Thunderer" even turned against them in
their last moments; poverty, defeat and
ruin staring them in the face. So stands
it at the South. Where is the Southern
c1liyal1y which flauntcd their banners in
ouz faces? Where the men who were to
call the rolls Of their slaves in Fanieul
Hnll1 Where the boosted aristocracy-one
Of whom was an equivalent for tiSe mud
sills-now calling upon 6a1nbo and Cuffey
for helpf
The night is over and peace shows on the
distant horizon. Bnt that peace must be
accepted only On the condition that it re.
main with us forever, giving guarantees oi
freedom at home and substantial comfort
to the millions Of the old world yet in the
thraldom Of bondage. Let it not be said
Of us: "We have scotched the snake, moi
killed it" Root out the cause and we
prevent its effects Stand by the Presi
dent and all will be right He is guiding
the old ship safely through the storm in
his own good way. Let him haye the sup
port and encouragement Of the people, and
the Republic is safe forever.

AMERICANS SOLD INTO SLAVERY.
It is an awkward, indisputable fact, that
Slavery is not only = curse to the slave,
but to every one else who Is brought within
the range its influence. White, or black,
it is a1l one to the Nemesis who presides
over this dreadful system Of wrong and
outrage. What does she care for the color
of the skin, or for mans social position !?
Her domain is the conscience; she is the
executive minister Of the moral law hold
ing the thunders and lighthings Of Sinai in
her right hand, and using them always
with terrible effect. It was impossible,
therefore, for this great crime and wrong
of Slavery to exist rs the basis Of Gov
eminent, without entailing retributions ot
the most appalling character. We find
accordingly, that in the South, and to a
dreadful extent, in the North also, Slavery
has SO distorted all the moral relations oi
humanity, all ideas Of truth and justice
that the cardinal distinctions between right
and wrong are we'll nigh, if not altogether
obliterated from the moral conscience
Of the nation; so that deeds o1
immense moment to the interests o1
liberty, Of righteousness, and Of civiliza'
ton, are perpetrated IN our very midst
with the poor negro for scapegoat-
which, II done against white American
would set the continent in blaze, from
one end Of it to the other.
Twill be remembered that Gen. Lee
during his invasion Of Pennsylvania, made
slaves Of all the free colored men upon
whom he could lay his hands, and this is
crime against the world for which all the
Governments Of the wor@d, as well as ou1
own Government, have right as deep q.
