No Reader, Il is the copperbead Cor
vention, which is to disgrace the free
city of the North, Chicago, by its pres
ence, and desecrate the Fourth Of July
By meeting on that hallowed day, that
Prentice and his co-conspirators are pat
ronizingl "George D. Prentice, the
friend Of Henry Clay, turned Copper
head Impossiblel'' Yet il is even so.
And it is just here that we see the
ferceuess and desperation Of the strug-
gle between Freedom and Slavery which
the year 1864 Is destined 10 witness.
Il will shake the Nation from centre to
circumference, and stir society to its
lowest depths bat the Union will
emerge from the ordeal more glorious
and powerful than ever, and its enemies
and the enemies Of Liberty win meet
the doom of the fallen angels, as the re-
suit Of the conflict which they have pro-
voked.
In the FINAL struggle Of the Slave
Power, during the coming simmer and
fall, all the auxiliaries which it can call
70 its aid will be made use Of to Perpetu-
ate its existence TICS the friends Of
Human Rights can depend on. McMas-
ter, the Jesuit, with his Trsensans 3 Jour
nal (the instigator Of the New York
riots), win form the right wing of the
Pro-sIayery army Prentice, the Know
Nothing chief, with his Louisville Jour
nal (the paper that brought on the hor-
rors Of .bloodY Monday J, will form
the left wing; and the Vallandigham-
Wood. .Voorhees.P s.Pisrce-Seymoar- Nc CleI-
Ian Democracy will form tie center.
All the msligu Influences Of the country,
hostile TO Freedom, Progress, and Ma.
Etionality, are getting ready for a charge
along the whole line Of the army Of the
Union, hoping % break The compaetness
Of its ranks, destroy its unity. and beat
it in detail Il remains with Union men
to say whether we shall be thus defeated
aud our cause ruined; or whether, by
keeping our organization intact and
our ranks unbroken we shall have it in
our power 10 win an easy and decisive
victory in November.
