The following article from the Ne,o
York. Herald should be read by every pat
rlotic man in the land, as it truly indicates
the intentions and the objects Of the cop
perhead faction in the coming political
contest. The Herald, perhaps more than
any other journal in the country, is
familiar with the workings of the copper
head organization, aud may fairly be re-
garded as its central organ. There is no
doubt that the magnitude Of the schemes
being concocted by the copperheads to or
ganize rebellion in the free States begins to
appal even the jesuitical controllers Of
the Herald hence they "wash their
hands" Of them and their consequences.

George n. Sanders, with some twenty
or thirty rebel politicians ard officers, is
now at Niagara Falls, plotting and sche-
ming in behalf Of JEFF Davis and his vii
famous cause. Remaining, as they do, on
the Canada side, they are in favorable
position to operate upon the politicians
who visit that locality during the hot sea-
son. From all accounts they are making
the most of this advantage. They have
concocted grand scheme for the control
Of the Chicago Convention. Their pro-
ject contemplates forcing rupture and
division of the Convention, after the man.
ner of the split at Charleston i'll 1860
This is to be brought about in way that
will embitter the copperhead and peace
factions, and, with them thus mad ddened,
inaugurate system ofriot and insurrection,
not only in the West, but also In this and
other Eastern cities. The splitin Charles
ton in 1860 was accomplished by the
scheming OF Yancy, Slidell, Davis, and
other leaders in the Southern States, for
the very purpose of bringing about state
of affairs that would give them plea to
inaugurate rebellion.
A break up in that Convention was
necessary, or rather preliminary step in
preparing the public mind of the South
for the revolution which was already
planned by the leaders. In accomplishing
this result they Were assisted by the AL
bany Regency and other unscrupulous
politicians of the North. The events Of
four years have since rolled around the
rebellion, with all its evils and suffering
in the South, has been inaugurated and
kept up but they are at length driven to
desperation, and are in straitened circum-
stances. They are compelled to resort to
some scheme 20 secure diversion In
the North, or 20 under A plot for
split and break up at Chicago is resolved
upon, to be followed by revolution in the
North, as the last hope for their sinking
cause.
To accomplish this the rebel agents,
rebel blowers and rebel plotters have been
rushing back from Europe, and have made
Canada their base of operations The
country from Montreal to Niagara Falls and
Windsor, opposite Detroit, is filled with
them, all directing their efforts pom the
Chicago Convention. Vallandig ham was
sent back to Ohio to play his part Of the
game there. But in order to accomplish
their end, time was needed. Accordingly
the postponement of the Chicago Conyen-
tion was essential. The peace faction and
their organs boldly came out for an ad-
journment Dean Richmond and the
Regency became willing agents in their
hands, and the time asked for by the rebel
conspirators in Canada was obtained
Thus the first step towards bringing about
Northern revolution has been accom-
plishcd by the aid of the Regency, aud
the same class of Northern politicians who
played into the hands of the Southern
conspirators at Charleston. What now do
we see +!
Sanders and his rebel plotters are act
lively at works perfsctiug their scheme
Already the Democratic Convention of
Kentucky has adopted peace resolutions,
and done all it could to assist Sanders in
laying his wires for The Chicago Conven-
ton. Fernando Woods seedy peace COM
mittee assembled in this city to add its
voice and support to the plot of the rebels.
The Chicago Times, Cincinnati Inquirer,
and other peace papers of the West, haze
enlisted in Sanders cause as far as they
dare. Such twaddling Journals as the
Ne,es and World, of this city, and the
Atlas and 4ryus, at Albany, have been
gradually working themselves into the
same scheme, and under the influence of
the conspirators. Some forty or fifty
rebel politicians, with Sanders at their
head, and few Copperheads Of the North,
met at Windsor, about the 5th of this
month, and perfected their arrangements
for operations at Chicago.
A split in the Convention is the first
move; then insurrection, riot and rebel
