tallandigham and ii. L. Palmer---CaR Loyal
Men Endorse Such Sentiments

II the people would know precisely the po-
sition of c. L. YALLANDIGHAN, the great lead
er OF the Copperhead Democracy, who was
endorsed by the recent Democratic State
Convention, let them study attentively the
following extracts from his writings and
speeches.:

DAYTON, April 80, 1861.
Rer. .SaJia Hoagh, Cincinnati, Ohio:
DEAR SIR: l have Just received yours, and
concur with YOU heartily The storm is pass
ing, and hope reason may return and peace,
for the present. with it. Beyond that I sec
nothing tat separation, first Of the free States and
slave, and then of tie Vest from the East, and
Hee-I kno'c not ghat.
Very truly, Z. l.. NALLANDIGHAM
Il have not voted for any army or nary
6M, or any army or may appropriation, since
the meeting of Congress on the 4h Of JoAly
1661."-C L. VaNandighans at Dayton, Ohio,
4ugaest ., 1862.
Now read what HENRY L. PALMER, the Cop
perhead candidate for Governor of Wisconsin,
says:
q hope to see the disgraceful assault upon
American rights in the person OF Nallandig-
ham, eliminate IN his election to tie office Of
Governor Of Ohio"
Mr. PALMER hopes to see the man who is in
favor of peaceful separation and who boasts
that, while member of Congress, he voted
against all appropriations for the army and
navy-thus doing all in his power to paralyze
the arm of the Federal Government in its
death grapple with treason-Mr. PALMER
hopes to see this man elected Governor of
the third State of the Union.
Then, ndeed,-in quite different sense,
however, from that which was intended to be
conveyed by the resolution Of the Democrat
ic State Convention, but by construction of
which its language is fairly susceptible
would "He di$graeJM assault on american
rights cULMINATE!" Mr.. H. L. PALMER will
not witness any such " elimination" of the as
sault upon the American people-much as he
desires to see it. Ohio, with potential
voice, will shortly utter her condemnation of
the traitor, EALLANDIGHAM, and in November
Wisconsin will bury beneath the mountain
weight of such a majority as she has never
given before, his sympathizers and abettors
here in the effort to undermine the loyalty of
the Northern States.

SETTLEMENT OF FARM MoRTGAGEs.--We
learn that large numbers of farm mortgages
have been settled in the past three weeks,
along the line of the Milwaukee & Prairie du
Chen Railway Not less than 100000 of
mortgages have been paid. Most of this has
been paid b the surrender d OF h the stock re- e
ten per cent. additional Thus, by the excel
lent management of the road, the farmers
have been enabled to pay their mortgages at
ninety per cent. discount. Ten per cent. of
the subscriptions of these farmers is q small
sum to pay for the great benefits arising to
them from the construction Of the road So
it would seem that the management of this
road, so much denounced by the farmers and
interested politicians, has actually saved the
people from loss.-Nauaukee Wisconsin.

The Hope of Traitors-More Testimony.

Almost the only hope of success that re-
mains to the traitors who are seeking to de-
stroy the Union, lies in the cooperation of
the Copperheads in the North, With few
more Northern States in the hands of Gov
errors like SEYMOUR of New York, they think
there would vet be chance for ''the Con
federacy."
1t is but a short time since i Richmond
paper announced that there were but two
things on which the rebellion could now de
pend for success: foreign intervention, or
the uprising of the conservative masses of
the Northern States against the Federal Ad
ministration.
On the same point, and with yet more di
rectness and significance, the traitor MAUEY
one of JEFF. DAVIS agents in England, has
published letter in the London Times to
show that g the prospects of the south were
never brighter" than now. In it, he makes
a remark of which we had mention by tele-
graph, but which is so much more striking as
given in full by himself, that we think it
worth while to repeat it. He is speaking Of
the plans of the plans of the rebels and their
mode of operotiag in the North to g Offset the
tide of military reverses which in the first
weeks of July ran so strong against the
South :" and his words are: " Otil" agents
have to be called into play. What are
they? Let US inquire. They are divisions
g IN the camp of the enemy, disseasions among
al u. i Al =, oI,-a
peace party there. All the embarrassments
with which that party can surround Mr..
LINCOLN, and all the difficulties that it can
g throw in the way of the war party in the
North, operate directly as so much aid and
g comfort to the South"
According to the confession of their own
agent, then, it is the rebels of the South who
are intriguing here in the North to bring
about "dissensions among the people and
divisions in the camp" Nothing could be
more important than that it should be under
stood by the people of the North that the
Copperheads-th "other agents called into
play" after the military failure of the rebels
are really and truly the tools-undoubtedly
some of the leaders are the hired tools-of
JEFF. DAVIS, and, as MAURY says, cooperate
directly" in favor Of the rebels. Let it be
understood that all the violent ranting about
State rights" "peace" and the " conscripss
tion," are but pretensions and shams gotten
up by agents and organs of JEFF. DAVIS, en-
ployed by him to do his work in the North.
Let everybody, when be reads or hears this
rant, bear in mind its origin. The simple re-
membrance of this fact will act as an effective
foil to these efforts of JEFF. DAVIS
Vermont and California have given the
rebels foretaste of what they may expect
from the " conservative masses Of the North"
The efforts of e the agents whom JEFF DA-
Wis has called into play" in the free States
are beginning to be understood by the people.
It's bad year for Copperheads.

GREEN CLAY SMITH, member elect of Con-
gress from Kentucky, is a nephew of CAssIUs
NJ. CLAY. Though now but 81 years of age,
he distinguished himself at the battle of Bue-
ma Vista. At the age of fourteen he enlisted
as private in the first Kentucky cavalry,
and was soon after promoted to lieutenant
cy. After the close of the war with Mexico
he studied law, and entered upon its practice
in his native State. In 1860 he was the dis
trict elector on the DOUGLAS ticket. At
Balls Bluff he served as volunteer aid on
the staff of Gen. BAKER, narrowly escaping
with his life. In February, 1862, he was ap-
pointed Colonel of the 4th Kentucky Cavalry.
and in numerous cavalry engagements in the
army Of the Cumberland has since distinguish
ed himself In fight at Lebanon in Nav,
last year, with Morgan, he was severely
wounded in the leg, and for many months
was incapacitated for public service. He is
a Shareholder, but an unconditional Unionist.
When nominated for Congress, last June. the
Louisville Journal denounced him as an Abo-
litionist. He was elected, however, by near
ly 5000 majority.
He is now engaged in stumping Ohio for
the Union ticket, and to aid in swelling the
majority against the traitorous VALLANDIG-
HAN.

The DUty of the Hour,

Hon. DANIEL s. DICKINSON declined Il re-
nomination to the office of Attorney General
of New York in letter which contains some
remarks eminently patriotic and pertinent to
the hour. He entertains the same opinion Of
the rebellion to-day that he did on the day of
its outbreak-that it must be put down abso-
lutely and Internationally By forcc-and for
this purpose the union of all true men, ire
spective of political organization, is essen
tial. He says that he twill oppose ALL what
ever they may have been in other times or
may be called now, who are giving aid and
comfort to the rebellion, whether boldly with
arms in their hands, or through the cowardly
and more mischievous process Of fomenting
partisan strife, and encouraging resistance to
the Administration" and this he thinks he
can do with greater efficiency ifleft free from
the weight of official obligation. He adds
that the only hope of the rebellion now is
from its friends in the North, and cit is
wholesale murder to minister to the unholy
ambition of some of the most fiendish mon
sters who have ever desecrated the earth
With reference to the Copperhead wing of
JEFF. DAVIS servitors, he says: " As for
the mole-eyed politicians amongst US, whose
poverty of intellect has not enabled them to
comprehend the magnitude of the crisis, when
they shall cease to encourage the murderers
of our sons and brothers, let US endure their
exhibitions of depravity and the ebullitions
of their spite without a murmur, and in sheer
pity measure out to them, as an antidote to
their Intellectual virus, that scorn which is
made most emphatic by expressive silence"
SB@ The name Democracy was once hon
orable and honored. Now it is rapidly be-
coming the synonym of Disloyalty. 1t was
under the protecting wing of Democratic
Administration that the rebellion was Matched.
The Secession party in the late canvass
in the State of Kentucky called itself
Democratic :" but the name couldn't save
it from being beaten by fifty thousand. The
Government party in California dubs it.
self democratic :" but the people of that
gallant State have just pronounced sentence
against it with an emphasis of twenty thou
sand majority. Those who oppose the 'wick-
ed war" against the rebels in Ohio assume
to call themselves democrats but the
people there, as elsewhere, will rebuke them
for Decorating a once respected name.

" California, Of Course. ="

Two or three days before the California
election, the New York World, in an article
on the probable strength of parties in the
next House of Representatives, incidentally
remarked: " California wiU 90 Democratic of
" course. The State always had a Democratic
"majority, and the party which was divided
" at the last two elections is now heartily
united"
How strong the probabilities were in favor
of the assumption of the World, may be in
ferred by looking at the returns of previous
elections n that State. Never before has it
given clear majorities against the Democratic
ticket Her aggregate votes for President in
80 and for Governor in '61 were as follows:
go, Prest-Lin coin. So ,734 Douglas IS 02O
Bell....... 9,136 Breckenridge .33 915
'61. Gor'r--Stanford (Union Republican, }. Sc 036
CONFESS, douglas, )........... sc, 944
Mcconnell, breckenridge, )..... 81 $50
This year the Democratic party Of that
State united on a copperhead platform.
When the previous strength of the party then
was taken into account the prospect did look
squally. "California of course" said the
Democrats. But they did not reckon upon
the strength of the sentiment which binds
that far outlying part of the Union to her
sister States. Her people went to the polls
and buried Copperhead Democracy under a
majority of twenty homsand'
It's an awful bad year for Copperheads.
If California gives 10000 majority what
will Ohio and Pennsylvania do?
