Next to the rebels we know of no class
whose dilcmmas are more numerous OF de.
plorable than those Of the Copperheads -
We give a sample:
/ l. Unless they can pass for Democrats
they have no party, but
?. If they try to pass for Democrats the
party won't have them.
3. Unless they can combine with the rebels
neither can succeed, but
+ i. II the rebels succeed they can no longer
com Oinc with them.
). So lchg as the Union cause triumphs,
they can never rule the country, but
q. When the Union cause fails there will
be no country to rule.
7; Before lighting they would seek dis
union peace, but
8. But before getting disunion peace
they must fight the Unioni>ts.
.. Peace to them means peace with those
who are fighting against the Uuion, and
war with those who are fighting for it,
but
10. They tiud it costs more "knocks" to
fight the country's friends than il would to

, lion, especially the rebellion of the Federal
! Government against the supremacy Of the
slave States.
/ II. They sympathize with the conserva-
. tive effects of Jefferson Davis to preserve

/ do, to maintain the Union, are unconstitu-
tional and revolutionary usurpations.

to the war, or they woulG not nominate him,

~. To require rebels 10 swear to support
the Constitution and laws, before voting,
