mei and molli6ed bis indig gna.ioa against
Northern Copperhcads. what msy We not
lear from the effects Of his "lying down 10
the same bed with them" to use his own
graphic expression IS he passed through
our place = week ago.
The General, in his address, ignores
the fact that be had already accepted the
nomination rendered to him by the Cop
perhead Committee, which had be en- her
sided 10 oil the Copperhead sheets Of the
State, and under which bis name had
been placed at the head Of their columns.
He even pretends to be unconscious of The
fact that he, by his own set In the accept
anee Of the nomination of that Commit
tee, had already substantially settled the
1sisustion' OF the whole Copperhead force
Ut the State under his lead and support.
But having thus in the first place, by
word and act, become the sccredited nom.
inee Of the Byingtou Copperhsad Com
mittse, be undertakes to crawl on 70 the
ticket under plausible professions of 10y
atty. This was "weak invention" .
shallow subterfnge, unworthy the gallant
leader of the brave men at Donelson. He
knew before be penned word of his ad-
dress to the people OF Iowa, that he al
ready occupied. With his own free consent,
the head of the Copperhead ticket. upon
shich Duncsmbe and Mason were his as
sociates. He knew, too, that the ticket
stood upon the Democratic platform of
opposition to "this Abolition war, and thai
II was to be engineered by the Bsington
Committee, which had officially proclaim
ed that Democrats dstested this Aboh-
ton war" He knew, also, that his only
chance of success was TO secure the sup
port Of leading Copperheads whom he
had denounced as deserving imprison-
ment and hanging. A nd moreover he de-
sires aud expects the votes of the Msho-
mites OF lows and Carpefheads. peace
men, sympsthisers and seceshers, and he
expects to ataIiate with them himself and
10 vote for their other nominees. and to
coex all hi, friends 10 do The same.
The Truth is Gen. Tuule has had bad
advisers 10 the broken down politicians
who have sought To use him and the pop

influence. Judge Johnssou Of our coun
ty, whose weakness and cowardice has
sept him 10 the ranks of county poit-
clans. opened correspondence with him
md induced him to consent to run for
Governor for the sake Of party" as was
developed in the letter read by Johnston
the State Convention. And Johnston, 10
the most unfortuna.e of politicians, was
backed up by Giilaspie. Love and Clsgett.
The mos. unprinoipled Of the Cepperhead
fraternity.
"Thsrs are but two parties--patriots
and traitors" The party which detests
this Abolition war; and which numbers
Geo. w. Jones, Mahony, Byingtoo r. Co.
- iss leaders and engineers, and has Ma
son and Duncombe for its candidates 10
the party which has placed Gen. Tutlle's
name on the head Of its ticket. in order
that its leaders may have the benefit Of
his popularity, and he has weakly or
wiukedly consented to or connived 10 the
plot, thus to draw in loyal citizens and
patriotic soldiers, to endorse and render
aid and comfort to these party leaders in
this political campaign. If this be the
patriot party. then let loyal citizens and
soldiers support il; il not, let them enter
their verdict against it. let who will. head
the ticket for Governor.
