MORGAN COUNTY corpERuEAD NoA1sAr1ons.
The Morgan county Copperhcads made
their nominations last Saturday. Tho whole
thing was in the hands Of the K. @. C.'s, rho
presented the following ticket, which bad
been previously nominated In their secret
lodges: For Circnit Clerk, BENZ. F. Bristow;
for Assessor ana Treasurer, Jas. Il. LurteA !;
for School Commissioner, Samuel II: Martin:
To show the material Of which this ticket
ts composed, It is merely necessary to say
mencement Of the war, that he waa
ready and willing to be one Of
10000 Illinois men, over whose dead
bodies the Union soldiers would have
to Iass before they could subjugate the State
Of South Carolina. He has also two sons in
the senthern army, one Of whom WAS at Mall
sern Hil. The Convention did not pass any
resolutions No need OF 1t. Nearly every
man In it had long previously subscribed to
the doctrine Of the X. G. C.'s-that all men
arc not created equal, and that they will OPP
pose any attempt, by any power or potentate,
to coerce people or peoples into staying in
Union which opposes this principle.
After the regular Convention Ind adjourn

Mr. McCounell's motion may have been a
good one, but question It's policy or utility.
The Democracy hsve in their Convention,
and in t~o other Conventions since 1860,

their papers and orators constantly uphold
