A RISING STORM.
C0PPERHEAD PREPARATION FOR
A FIRE IN THE REAR.
Gracious Buds Of Promise to Bloom
and Blossom into Bloody Fruit
of Revolution.

From the Chicago Post, (war DENY 10Th inst ]
We have repeatedly pointed out the evil
Infamous measures resorted TO by the few
unprincipIed men who have seized the d.
rection of the Democratic party and have
rushed it from one calamity to another
These Democratic leaders, having pushed
their desperate fortunes to the worst ex-
tremity, now propose the last measure
in fact, they propose to rise or fall at the
last ditch, and that ditch is the organiza-
ton in armed hostility to the Federal Gov
eminent. We invite careful perusal of
the following extracts: s -
The Cincinnati Commercial says, edito-
rally: - aeT t8la
Governor Seymour will not follow the coun.c els
of the ultras of his party, and seek opportunity
to make war wit tle General Government He
has been vigorously pressed to resist the DRAFT and
utations Of copperheads from the West have visit
cd Governor Seymour, at Albany, and brought a
pressure upon him, to take the lead in Northern
Instruction. Ii is proper to say, that Mr.. Daniel
w. Voorhees,, of INDIANA, member Of Congress
from the Terre Hautc district, ca led TO see Gov
erlor Seymour on this business, and was exceed
ingly disguised because he did not End the Cover
nor ripe for rebellion.
The Washington correspondent Of the
same paper, who is we'll known at Wash
ington, under date of March Sd, says:
Very little has been heard Of this organization
(Knig hts Of the Golden Circle) Of late, but they
deceive themselves who think 1t IL not still In ex
stcne, that il will not put forth efforts more Wig
oroas than ever during the approaching summer
and fall to accomplish It's mission, which is directly
the war and the restitution ofthe Union, and ndi-
rectly the establishment Of the Southern Csnfeder-
acy and the anne xation to il OF the States Of In
diana Ohio and Illinois. William r. Morrison
Democratic Representative from the Twelfth Con-
gressonai District Of Illinois, stated this fact to
friend yesterday. Mr.. Morrison was for TIVE years
Colonel in the army, and though now peace
man, refuses to join the "Knights.' though he has
been importuncd to do so. He is wcllacqua:ntcd
with the leaders and principal members Of the
traitorous cabal, and knows whereof he efirms
when he says they will try 10 get control Of the
elections in the Northwestern States next FALL ~
A large number Of Copperhead members from
Indiana and Illinois have gone home within the
past two weeks. and for no other purpose than TO
organize the "Knights" Among those who have
gone Is WIN. J. Allen, Representative from one Of
the s0ntsern districts of ulinos-the successor Of
| Gen. Logan. This gentleman. il is well known,
wanted 10 organize the men Of Southern Illinois
and put them in the rebel army. He rendered the
command Of them to 1ogan-so Logan charges
him, at any rateand il IS not secret that in his
district he did raise several companies, which he
sent south, via Paducah, and which were mustered
into the rebel service in Union City. Duing Gen.
Grants campaign in Mississippi met rebel sol
der who told me that he was from Southern ILL
lpois, aud that he belonged 70 q company raised by
Mr. Allen. - ~
Senator Hendricks though, perhaps, not mem
/ Der of the Organization. il pledged 70 the estab
Ilishwent of Northy cstern Confedcracy, and the
samc may be said of every Indiana Coppcrheadin
Congress, aud Of all the leading members Of that
