HThe Cowardly. lying william
C. L. yailandighams who waits and
watches over the border" has issued
q general order TO his minious to
commence civil war in Ohio. The
attack upon she Dayton Empire was
the OCCASION that called it forth, but
the spirit ofit, is to incite murder and
bloodshed in the North ss an effective
way of aiding the South.
The whole document is worthy Of
q a:Marat or Danton, and shows the
writer Of it. to be a blood thirsty
monster. Not daring to enter the
State himself, but safely slowed away
under the .'@gis" of the British lion,
he advises instant, summary and
ample reprisals upon the persons and
property of men at home, who by
language and conduct, are always in
citing to these outrages" and declares
that retaliation is the only and right
full remedy in times like these"
The atrocity of this infamous doc

fact thntit is addressed to a class. 8

who are exclusively controlled by
copperhead leaders and presses
The former will be careful to keep
out of harms way themselves, whilst
urging on the mob, and melting them
to riot and destruction. The latter,
by every means in their power, are
giving publicity to it, and stirring up
the passions of their readers by ap-
peals for protection against evils
they tring upon themselves.
We commend this infamous circu-
lar to the attention of every law abb

ten-fold forcsiupon the heads of those
who choose to act under its instruc-

savages like those who hold sway in
Richmond. 1t will be secuted by

only to incite murder. arson. and

Of SONS sort, but what they propose
to do, seems not to be understood. In
some quarters, it is supposed that a

to invading Maryland, or attacking

they have had enough of the invasion

that they should, at this juncture, try
