day afternoon man named Nealy who
lives near Chilicothe in this Coun ~, passed
up Main ST. in mis- wagon hurrahing for JEFF

Co. where the Provost Marshal found him.
When the Marshal asked him he was the
ynan who had cheered for jeff Davis, he
straitened himself up and declared that he
pas that" and told the Marshal that che
would blow the first man through that laid
hands on him." but very fortunately he
didn't blow" 80 as to injure anybody
but was tied and taken to the Keokuk De-
bot, to await the arrival Of the train, where
with two exceptions notwithstanding his
fearful appeals, he received no sign If sym :
pathy from the crowd. that surrounded him.
This copperhead who had been so fierce and
defiant at first, begged and bawled like the
great cowardly calf that he was; and con
Quoted himselfin such . contemptibly ludi
crous manner that instead Of receiving sym-
patty from any one, even the ladies laugh

The Presidents Letter.

Some weeks ago the working men Of Man
chester. England, sent IN address to- Pre-
idcrt Lincoln, expressing their sympathy
with the cause of the L. :. Government, to
which the Precedent has made the following
reply
Executive MAYsIoS, Washington. Jan 70.
To ttc W0rgiHg men Of MaHchester
I have the honor % acknowledge the receipt
Of tie address and resolutions which YOU sent
to nc on the eve Of the new year
When l came, on the 18th day of March,
1861, through a free and constitutional elec-
tiou, 10 preside in the Government Of the
United States, the country was found az the
verge of civil war. Whatever might lave
been the cause, OF whosesOeyeT the fault, one
duty, paramount 10 all Others, was before
nc, namely, 20 maintain and preserve at once
the Constitution and the integrity of the Te-
deral Repdbkc \ conscientious purpose topsT-
form this duty is the key 10 all the measures
Of administration which have been, and to all
which viii hereafter be pursued.
Under our frame Of Government, and ny
Official oath, could not depart from this pur-
pose If 7 would. II is not always in TIE
power Of governments 10 enlarge or restrict
the scope OF moral results, which fJllow tie
policies that they may deem it necessary, for
the public safety, from time to time to adopt
! have understood we'll that the duty Of
selfpreservation rests solely with the Ameri-
can people. But have at the same time been
aware that the favor or disfavor Of foreign
nations might have material influence in
charging and prolonging the struggle with
disloyal men in which the country is engsg-
ed.-A fair examination Of history has seem
ed to authorize belief that the past action
and influence Of the United States were ge-
morally regarded as having been beneficial tow

some Of which YOU kindly allude, induced me
especially to expect that if justice and good
faith should be pTactised by the United States.
they would encounter no hostile influence on
the part of Great Britain.
Il is now pleasant duty % acknowledge
the demonstration YOU have given Of your
desir" that spirit Of peace and amity tow
ard this country may prevail in the councils
Of your Queen, who is respected and esteem
ed IN your own country only more than she is
by the kindred nation which has its home
on thi. side Of the Atlantic.
know, and deeply deplore, the suferings
which the working men at Manchester, and
in all Europe, are called to endure in this
crisis 70 has been often and sJudi0usly ro-
presented that the attempt to overthrow this
government, which WAS built upon the foun-
dsti1n cf human rights, and to substitute for
il one that should rest exclusively on the bs-
sis of human slavery, was likely 10 obtain
the favor Of Europe. Through the action Of
our disloysl citizens, the working men Of Eu-
rope have been subjected % a severe trial, fog
the purpo-e Of forcing their sanction to that
attempt
Under these circumstances I cannot but
regard YOUR decisive utterances upon the
question as an instance Of sublime Christian
heroism which has not heen surpassed in aDJ
age or IN any country. Il Is indeed an ener-
getic and reinspiring assurance Of the inher-
ent power Of truth, and Of the ultimate and
universal triumph of justice, humanity and
freedom DO not doubt that the sentiments
you have expressed will be sustained by
your great nation and, on the other hand I
have no hesitation in assuring you they viii
excite admiration, esteem and the most recip-
rocal feelings Of friendship among the
American people. hail this interchange Of
sentiment, therefore, ss en- sugury that,
whatever misfortune may befall your coun-
try or nly own, the peace and friendship
which now exist between the two nations
will be,as i. shall he my desire to make them,
perpetual.
