The Madmen.

r. Certain that all overtures TO the enemy
would be rejected, the Copperheads insist
that overtures shall be made without a
plan for peace, their clamor for peace is
Innceasing: insisting that the Union shall
not be divided. they are pursuing just that
policy to make disunion certain. Judged
by any standard Of patriotism, their action
is aimless and purposeless; but when we
see them in their character as partisans, it
is clear that hate and malignancy Of their
political enemies have overturned any love
of country that they may have once in
dulged. and that they are blind to the fact
that when they pull down the Government,
for the sake of furnishing those whom they
hate. they also will be crushed in the ruin
which will be indiscriminate. History
has no such example of furious and unreas-
enable madness.-C1i. 2ri5.

of Sterling Price, who recently hid lot
OF rebel powder in his cooking stove 'un-

Shortly after, she built a fire in the
stove aforesaid, for the purpose of pre-
