One of Them,

1t has been repeatedly proved. remarks
the Indiana Journal. that there were men
in the North in collusion with the Eouth-
ern conspirators. without whose promise
Of Democratic help the war would never
have been begun. The rebels have assert
ed it time and sgain. and complained bit
terly Of the failure Of their allies to fulfill
their engage ment. and the discovery oil
s'private" letters every few days brings ont
fresh proof Of the excellent reason the
rebels had for their complaint. Sowe Of
these conspirators have teen known from
the beginning. A few rebels remained in
Congress to damage the Government all
they could before taking mp arms against
it. among them the reader will remember

hees, Wood and others, who voted with
them, spoke after them. and accompanied
them in triumphal receptions by rebel
crowds have given the world an almost
boastfnl assurance that they are Of that
number. That they promised the rebel,
Northern Democratic help. is just as csr-
tain as they hal tongues to talk. 1t is too
plain to be disputed. All that they have
all done from tho beginning of the war is
directly in the line Of fulfllment OF such
promise. There is no mistake about their
share in the conspiracy. Others, however.
have only recently been detected. or the

Thurlow Weed has written an article
on "Current Politics and the War;" which
Copperheads ard disloyal men all over the
country will do we'll to read. for though

the bogus Conservatives many wholesome
truths, which the War Democrats who

tration do not hurt il. bnt rebound upor
themselves with fearful energy Of des
truction. whilst for all other purposes they
are. as he says. so much "was:e thunder. y
He reminds the Democrats of Maine thai
when they nominated Mr.. Bradbury, the
Co lperhead. for their Governor. he told
them they were cutting their own throats
shrewdly insisting for their guidance. that
the atrocious principles Of this man and
those who supported him, must inevitably
run the Democratic party under; because
NO psrty, be its antecedents what they
might, could during war, be unfaithful
to the country with impunity;" adding
"that the people unerringly find. and take
the patriotic side. and that If the Admin
istration err, fall short of its duty. or even
exceed its authority. the people. in and
through all such trials. would stand by the
Government"
The electors Of Maine justified this semi
prophecy and warning. Mr. Bradbury
asked them if they would support the Ma
tionai Administration in the exercise o
what he called "despotic power" If "they
would sacrifice their dearest rights and
most sacred privileges and finally
whether they would "yiela the noble guar.
an ees affecting life, liberty and property
He got his answer through the ballot box
es. says Mr.. Weed. 1t was the same an
swer which patriotism returned to similar
inqniries submitted to the electors of Con
necticut. Kentucky. Vermont and Califor.
mia; and it is the answer which Ohio will
return to the disloyal teachings of Vallan-
digham-the answer which all loyal States
will return to "Copperhead" interroga-
tions.
This /. good plain talk at the right
time. and although we do not expect that
the eloquence Of an angel. backed by the
highest considerations Of country and Of
honor. would change the course of that ia
famous party. whose aim from the first to
the last. dnring this war. has been to de-
stroy both the Republic and The Admins
tration, yet it may have its influence with
the wavering. and half-inclined- to bc-trai-
