On Friday evening. the Goth nit, the Con.
perheads held a meeting in the Court House.
and Hiram McCullourh Esq. was chosen
to make the open;np speech for their cam.
naiyn in the Cd election district aqain ct tha
new Constitution, and in favor of an ignoble
surrender to the rebels.
Mr.. McCullouch's remarks were brief, di.
vested of all useless elaboration and so plain.
" expressed that they covered the whole spb
iect of grievance to the Copperheads. stating
so comprehensivelv their ground of com.
plant, and the drift and hone of the marty.
that no sensible man could wish for an ex.
position of the policv of that crowd more
clearly and fully.
