n TREASON SHRIEKER COMING.
The secessionist Fernando Wood is ad-
vertised to address the Copperhead meet
ing in Springfield on tie 18th inst The
character Of the man will suit the meeting.
The Pence meeting" which was held in
New York last Wednesday, be engineered
and run. The resolutions were plain
and outspokcn. in favor Of the right Of
secession. Estate rights" doctrine was
commended for BY the same arguments ad-
vanced By the rebels. It was declared
Tint secession is q constitutional right, and
That it is violation OF the Constitution to
coerce 6tate. The doctrines taught by
the leaders Of South Carolina were preach
ed by Fernando Wood. He insisted, also,
on an immediated cessation Of hostilities,
winch carries with it an acknowledg
mcnt Of rebel independence. he went
the whole Southern figure, including the
usual quantity Of blathersGte about an
'Abolition war;" and "Lincoln despo-
1ism." -
Wood is coming to Illinois to induce
the Coppethcads to throw off their hypo-
cratical mask and openly stand on his
platform. Their hearts are there and why
should not their feet be also? Each day the
Copperheads approach the position held
by the erebeIs when they yseceded. The pro-
Eramme is q dissolution Of the Union and
then reconstruction by annexation to the
Southern Confederacy, on the condition OF
adopting the Montgomery constitution and
establishing..slayery in the free States
But the blind and binding trammels Of
party prevent thousands from seeing
whither their leaders are taking them;
and for the sake Of bclng call
ed "Democrats they are helping to
assassinate Democracy and to destroy free
institutions. It is sad to contemplate the
density Of partisan ignorance and the folly
Of partisan prejudice. Who would
have conceived, three years ago,
that for the sake Of party organi-
zation Democrats Of Illinois would
1epudiute their time honored Union pr;n.
ciplcs and adopt secession and ANARCHY?
The Springfield meeting Will be controlled
by the ultra, destructive secessionists, ol
the Fernando Wood stripe, who will Spout
treason and denounce the Government fol
.abridging their free speech!

rest upon him He bad probably not

ing about that yillainous sheet except what
may be incident1y told him by visitors.
His impressions ot it are, perhaps, formed
npon his 1ecollections when Sheahan pub
lished it, when it was violent partizan
but still a loyal Union paper. The
President rarely reads any newspaper, and
knows rcry little Of what is said by the
public press. We think this is IN error on
his part, but TINT does not alter the fact.
The press may be called the talk Of the
people, and in no way can q public man
learn 50 much as readily Of the topics
about which the people are taiHng, as By
reading the editorial columns Of the lead
ing journals Of the country. But the
pressure upon the Presidents time ia so
great that he devotes it all to public bust
ness, and lets the newspapers on hls
table lie unopened. Hence, he has no just
conception Of the atrocious and reasonable
character Of the print Gen. Burnside sup
pressed. A few hours after the order went
into effect, he received long dispatch,
signed by gentlemen Of high official posi-
ton, advising him to revoke it. He
received no dispatch advising him to sus-
tain it. On the one side WAS a United
States Senator, Representative in Con-
Ercss, 6tate Senator, District judge, the
Chief Of Police, the Mayor Of the city, per-
haps other Judges and officials, and promi-
nent1citizens-all personal acquaintances

They were overwhelmed with astonish-
ment and modification when the news
came that the miserable reptile was turned

the facts, their censure Of the President
will materially abate. Our correspondent,
we are confident, will be willing also to
recall q 1nrge portion Of his censure. Such
1nust be the sober second thought Of all
