Il was well known that large and short

therefore. held back for large advance.

Every Copperhesd in the House of
Representatives but three voted against
the bill allowing the people of the seve-
raj States to decide for themselves whether
the Constitution shall be amended so a.
to prohibit slavery. This fact not only
shows that the Copperheads are favor Of
slavery in the abstract. and on principle,
as well as in fact, but that they are so
much in favor of ii that they oppose let
ting the people even have . chance to ex-
press their views on the question in
accordance with the provisions of the
Constitution itself.
Let us hear no more CANNON about
the Copperhead party being opposed to
slavery, after their Representatives in
Congress have taken this bold stand in
its favor, and against even allowing the
people of the United States to express
their opinions on the subject.

At this juneture several other deck

shoot the 6ss man who approsched. The
Irishman who had begun the affray raised
club 70 strike him. and the cook in
stantly fired, shooting him dead in bic

crowd and ran 70 the upper deck. Ons
Of the lady passengers Who usderstood tho

while the entire crew were searching for

urged them to smoke him out and shoot
him. Tho bartender loaded . double
barrel shotgun and handed it to one OF
the crew for this purpose.
The fugitive wss soon found hy pas

The greatest excitement prevailed, and
but for the cries of the women and chill
arsa. he would have been murdered upon
the spot. He was t.ies toward the for.

T A Copperhead organ in New York
boasts that the Catholic Archbishoprics
of New York were filed with Copperhead
opponents of the Government and SYM
patzers with the rebellion. McClosky
and Spaulding, in spite Of the request Of
our Government that loyal men should
be appointed.
We do not know whether there is any
truth in this matter, but it is notorious
that The Catholic Hierarchy in the South
are all active rebels, and that . majority
of them in the North are Of the same per-
suasion. And it is equally notorious that
the Pope exerted all his influence in favor
of placing Macmillan on the throne of
Mexico. and it is shrewdly suspected he
would like to perform the Office Of conse-
Grating some devout son of the Church
Emperor of the other Republic of North
America. At all events his pet Empire
of Mexico depends for its permanence on
the disruption of our Union and the de.
siruction of our Government, and he ia
not likely to exert any influence in favor
Of our Government in view of that fact.
There are loyal Arch bishops, such as
Rose Grams. Purcell and Timon, in the
North, and there was no reason which
patriot can approve why they were not
appointed instead of such sympathisers
as McCasky and Spaulding. It would
be utterly preposterous to suppose tha.
the Pope would appoint good loyal
Union man to vacant Archbishopric IN
rebeldom, why then but IRON mere hos.
tility to our Government and cause should
he appoint disloyal men to the Archiepis.
copal Sees of New York and BaltimoreY
And Why, moreover. but to discourage
enlistments in our armies does be refuse
to allow loyal priests of the North to serve
ss Chaplains to our soldiers in Dixie?
