The eopperheads have pretended to have q
liking Tor Grants politics. This is not
strange considering that the very ignorant
are apt to admire what they don't under
stand. Grant, like most really great militia
~ men, is not q politician. We believe he

any liking, for political affairs. His Views

ongh-going War Democrat in the land Bat
they would as truly be fire and brimstone'
to the Copperheads as those OF Nj. Lincoln
or 8. 2. Chase. This the Copperheads dis
covered long ago, and having become well
satisfied that Grant had no timber In him for
a tool of coppesheadfsm, they silently elided
back to their first love, "the basswopd Cen
cral." The following is authentica1ly stated
