an extract from speech of that eloquent son Of
the 'Emsrald Isle," James T. Brady, made at
Brooklyn, N. Y, on Monday Of last week. Do
the Copperheads wish to see the idea it presents

dividuals. But they will fail in their attempt to
plunge the Nation into the same abyss of ruin.
The true men of the land will save the country,
despite the efforts of traitors to destroy it. But
