The Coppcrheads proclaim that their
constitutional right Of free speech is abridg- |
cd by tile "Lincoln despotism-" They held
q meeting the other day in Now York to
protest against the loss Of freedom ofspeech,
which they had suffered. Here are some
specimens Of it: Mc1lastcrs, for instance,
appealed to physical force and arms to re-
sist tic Administration. Judge McCunn
said that there was but one course for them
-" Liberty or DEATH A1r. Blankman
said that Julius Caesar had his Brutus, and
Charles !. his Cromwell, and counscllcd
resistance 10 tho draft on the ground of the
war being unconstitutional Alr. Rankin
warned the people that they might never
zee another Presidential election; for the
Government wanted to make rebels OF the
ffeemen of the. North, that they might have
chance to subjugate them by the strong
arm Of military power. Mr. Bergman
said the United States Government was,
like some Of the European despotisms, be-
coming absolute and tyrannical, and the
people were not prepared to submit to the
sacrifice Of their liberties. Mfr. Birdsall
declared Abe Lincoln TO be miserable
apology for President, and his Govern
ment vile dcspo,ism. 1fr. Van Loon ap-
pealcd to their strong arms to protect their
rights in the last extremity. Mr. Caldwell
1citcEatcd the same sentiment. Dir. l1ul-
lally denounced the war as an Abolition
war, and if it was continued We would
have king at Washington. He asked
would they fight for an abolition admins
tration? The speaker took occasion tt
eulogise the dead rebel Stoncwan jackson
as 9 hero, and commended that there wa
no authority in the constitution OF laws t
brino backd disoJedient State into the Unio
1y furee Of arms. hlr. R. S. Thafin, c

National Canal Convention.

The Canal Convention to be held st Chicago

UFER4TIUNS On THE CENTRE.
Visited the centre this afternoon, and found
Gen. Mcpherson well up to the Notifications
before him. He was placing in position, less
his front, two immense siege guns, with
which he expected soon to open upon the en-
envy. His eharpshoote1s, too, were busy
picking off the rebels as they showed their
heads above the paEapets. They managed to
elude their vigilance, however, and several
stood near the heavy ordnance. After had
