George Francis Train, the great spe
maker for the Union in England and
Gently delegate to the ts-..gD-.~-.--' -
ton, would speak for Lincoln and the
Union while the Mail Train Eastward
stopped in Patterson. Accordingly a
large lot of people gathered at the depot.
Everybody was anxious to hea. man who
had world wide reputation. In the
crowd there were quite number Of our
leading copperheads. We heard it whis-
percd beforehand that a certain person
was raising crowd TO go over and disturb
the meeting, but We read in the Chicago
Platform that the suppression of freedom
of peech was calculated 10 prevent res
toration of the Union, and We then felt
sure these i"ioa n,en( q would not thus
destroy the cause they love. However,
as the crowd returned we learned to our as.
constituent that the copperheads beloved
blowed, snorted, cheered, rarcd, and bawl-
ed in such demoniaeal style as to prevent
the speaker from talking to the crowd. A
person can hardly realize that these men
would have engaged in such a thing
Yet it is so--and they we're our leading
copPerheads. Prominent among whom
was seen the man who fathercd the lies
against Mr.. Lyons, who also wants the
Post Office, who kept bawiiug "bah bah
bah bah - until his mouth was stretched
open as wide as the ears Of jackass are
long. And there was the smooth-tongued
lawyer. differing from the above only be-
cause if possible he is more arrant and
consumate hypocrite, whose snortlng
: showed that he is as much opposed to Re-
publicans using freedom of speech as he
. is to that Of the press. The internal,
da,nuing nalisnity and hypocracy of this
wretch 10 pen can depict Or words de-
, scribe. And there was the old spluttering
doctor blowing and yelling until the slob.
bers ran down from both corners of his
mouth. Aud there was the man who
Travelled Sc miles during the battle of
Cross Keys, who OF course proposed the
repeated cheers for Mcclellan, aud who
was only dried up when Mr.. Train asked
him if he had not been dishonorably dis
charged from the army. The ran who
specalatsd on the funds of the county
wss there, the man who perjured his soul
| to criminate man was thcre,-the man
who is going to march on Washinton to
hurl old Abe from bis seat was there with
bis big mouth stretched from car to ear
the shave shop was present, also, and had
his mouth slapt ESQ it is rcported) by a
loyal lady for following Mcclellan in her
| face and scattering his spittle on her per-
son-the monkeys and bed bugs were there
in short every dirty loud moutbed cop
pcrhcad that could be raked up was there
and hey were all engaged IN the same
ongentemony business Of bellowiry
m order TO preUent the speaker from
being heard. Now talk to us about
freedom Of speech, will you? You dis.
turbers Of good order and common decen-
cy, will you have the iInpudence again to
charge US with your crimes. Oh you,
dirty, hypocritical, hollow, canting, phar-
isaical, unfair, dishonest, uncandid, unhal-
owed, bigoted, unsanctifed, ill.begotten,
ill-natured, unreientipg, old-hsarted, trea-
sonable, malignant, cheating, diabolical,
Internal, devilish. mob-and-riot, soldier
defrauding, traitor-sympathizing, hell-born
hell-bouud copperhead party, with the cor
ruption, perjury, murder, destruction and
blood Of this war on your backs, with
heads full Of evil and hearts black as Tar
tarus, what language can portray your
scandalous damning record, or what good
or noble emotion ever warn such genera
ton Of vipcrs and coppcrheads to fee from
the wrath to come. What a humiliatiny
spectacle Here we're the Ministry -four
town who with commendable curiosity had
gone to hear and see the renowned orator
Of two hemispheres, compelled to see
church members to whom they had BEEN
preaching religion, good manners, urbani-
ty and common decency for years, behave
more like mad men and drunkards than
followers Of Jesus Christ. Is it any wonsI
der that when men behave in this way and
then attempt to Justify it, that gentlemen
can not respect them more than if they
were dogs. Oh shame, shame-is this
Democracy May God in mercy ever
deliver Us from its power lie. our peo-
pie remember "free speech" in Patterson
on the 7th of November.
