the Powers OF the President,

The cup of the Copperheads is full They

for the carrying on of the war for the Union
The CONSUMPTION act enables him to summon
to the national standard every abie-bodie
man in the loyal states, and to compel him to
come iftreachery or cowardice shall cause him
to hesitate. The financial measure provided
by Congress makes availabl, the last dollar in
the country, if the President shall need that
dollar to save the country. The authority
given him to suspend, when he shall find il es-
sential to the public well-being, the writ of
Habeas Corpus, empowers him to deal sum-
marty with Rebel spies and sympathizers, I'm
interfered with by judicial traitors. These are
vast and extraordinary powers, and We rejoice
the President at last has them. Nothing less
can save the Nation. NJ one of undoubted
loyalty deprecates their delegation to the head
of the Nation. No :nan true to his country,
first and last, will withhold from the country
his own or the services OF any of his friends
No man is sincere patriot who will not give
