head fraternity, has now made itself unfortu-
rate oy an ''iuadvertent" endorsement of the
views Of a democrat who denounces copper
heads. We have noticed that the Posts head
has been little turned for several weeks the
result, probably, of its severe practice of
"ground and lofty tumbling,' in preparation
for the democratic convention that meets here
Tomorrow. The "inadvertence" of whichwe
speak gave rise to the following briet para
graph which appeared A, the head Of It's cd
torial column Monday morning.

We agree with the Pos; that this is the po-
sition Of ~ihe sound democracy" But it is
not the position OF the democracy" any
where. who have formally expressed their
views in a regular convention OF "the party"
II is not the position of the Iowa "democra-
cy," whe refuse to publish Mr. Tutte's letter.
Moreover the Post omits to state that he was
not nominated by democratic eoaUeHttoN,
andthat he gets nothing but curses from the
Iowa copperheads. The Post convenient
ly conceals all this, being intent on persuad-
ing certain loyal men to join the Massachu-
sets democracy" and being also little de-
lirous with dreams of its past Joys as a well
paid attorney and hack of the slave power.
The Post appears to see something brilliant
in the policy of that delcctabe sheet, the New
FORK World, which hopes to organize an OPP
position party row aud postpone agreement
on principles until after the presidential cleo
ton,
But the Post has a dangerous rival. There
is very bilious and sickly newspaper in Bos-
ton, which intends to restore the slave power
without allowing the Post to be restored to its
old place al the public crib. The Boston Cou-
rier means 70 hold, hereafter, the position of
''next friend" in Boston, of slavery and the
fire eaters. Like the Post, the Courier is
stupid enough to believe the Richmond trai-
tors will soon be allowed to resume control
of the federal government, and have
supreme dominion in or national pol
itics; and it has long been in training to
suppant the Post and become their favored
spokesman and lacquey in this part of the
blunder of the Posi- to pass unnotitced; and It
will, undoubtedly, take special pains to have
its ready zeal reported in the proper quarter.
The Courier of Tuesday morning fell upon the
paragraph we quote, and criticised it with be-
coming vehemence. Allowing that it may
have been an "nadrertence," it processes,
nevertheless, to be startled and shocked, and
says -
''The Post, it will be observed, declares TIE
sort of UaiontSm professed by Mr.. futile to
be the true grounG-the ground of the sound
democracy all over the country Sach an
unqualified statement this, from such
source, we must own, startled US not little,
and that for two reasons, in the Iirst place,
if the sound democracy hold to this opinion,
it does not differ at all from the views OF the
main body Of TIE republican party; and sec
ondly, upon any such ground the idea of
union with people who hold slaves under the
constitution, and are fighting to maintain the
rights guaranteed te them by it, and which
they conceived to be in danger by a violation
of it, is simply rrepesteroNs."
1t was Gov. Seymour Of New York who said
IN speech, that if the Union could not be
saved witholt destroying slavery, then the
Union ought TO be destroyed. The Courier is
OF the same opinion; and partzan ''democra-
cy," generally, seems much more intent on
saving slavery than on saving the Union. But
the Boston Post, just now, is busy with ma
heuvers to compel the regular Massachusetts
democracy" to stand back and allow consery-
alive outsiders to be placed at the head
OF the table. Last year, it will be re-
membered, the editor of the Post, assum
ing to be chSet fugeman of the sscitizens'
party, TOOK foremost place in their
convention and did them the honor to select
their c ndidate for governor. This year, his
method is different but his purpose the same.
and 9lis present plot requires the Irregular de-
mocracy' Of the state to assume false colors
use deceptive words, whistle strange tunes.
and keep as much as possible out of sight in
the state convention, In his view, ''the par
ty, by taking this course, may do nearly as
wei as It did last year The Courier should
understand the game and use less criticism
The Post is deeply engrossed in the great
business Of ''tacdcs." Its vagaries sbould
have friendly federation. Fault-fndinp Ish-
maelites should consider what an honor it will
be to ''the party" to have all its chief seats
occupied by outside conservatives of eminent
dignity and pretensions. And the Posts re.
cruiting maneuvers might fail, if the clover
foot should be exhibited too soon, or if toe
much attention should be called to the
spirit and aim of the copperhead fra
ternity to which ''the party" belongs. As
the Post and its friends may find it difficult tc
frame resolve to be adopted by their state
convention, whichwill suitably express what
they do not mean, we feel it our duty TO re-
mind them Of the following, which was adopt
ed by their party in lS49 =
Resolved, that we are opposed to slavery.
