THE PROGRAMME OF THE NORTH
ERN DiSUNIONISIS.

The New York correspondent Of the Lon
don, England, Standard, who associates with
the coppeiheads, and gets his news and in
spiration from them, makes known their plots
and calculations for the i8tare as follows
" A cessation of hostilities may occur
nay, is now certain to oecur-but the armis-
tioe will be simply for arranging terms Of
separation. Not only are the Souteerners
determined to have independence, but ma
jority of the northern people see that they
cannot subjugate the South, and they are not
willing TO live il close relations with men
who are, or would be. virtually their con-
querors. The anli-slavery fanaticism will
be employed t. prevent the northern people
ever desiring a union with their one-time po-
Ii,ical brethren OF the South-with the yioto-
lious slaveholders.' There is very inn
portant movement on foot, which may have
the effect o, still further disrupting the un-
fortunate North. After the indepe endence Of
the South is fully recognized, the boundary
lines of tie new republic being the Missouri,
Ohio aud Potomac rivers, with West Virginia
again united to the Old Dominion, it is pro-
posed that the great middle states, with
portion of the western states, New York,
New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana
and llinois, may come into the southern
confederacy under the Montgomery constitu-
ton. This would rid the New Republic
Of those pests, the New England Yankees,
an intolerant, medaiug, bigoted and aver
icious race, whose combined fanaticism and
meanness has disgusted the whole country

REBEL EMMISsARIEs IN THE NORTH

Qlantrell, the assassin who sacked Law
renee, Kansas. murdered its peaceful citizens
and burned their homes, was arrested at In,
diapapolis the o her day, disguised as a civil,
ian. He was recognized by refugee from
Kansas On what business was he there
Gen. Hovey, military commanlant in Indi-
ana, issued an order on the Sd in which be
stated that large numbers OF persons suspect
ed of dlsloy slty are entering that State, and
requiring the registry to be made of all such
strangers, aud the arrest of such as are guilty
of sedltious words or acts. There is doubt
less good reason Tor these precautions, An
English gentleman who has ust returned
from the South, informs the Providence z ress
that twenty thousand southern agents are
scattered throughous the North, whose mis-
sion il is 10 circulate in our bar rooms and
other public resorts, and work in the intel-
ests Of the rebellion. They are instructed to
be " all things to all men," 60 be despondent
republicans among repu ublicans, to be peace
democrats among the democrats, and to in
cite the ignorant and desperate classes to such
hostility to the government as will break out
in open insurrecton and boodshed at the
fitting OPT ortunity. These are the men who
organize the copperhead movement, who fur
liberty" and to turn the election into civil
strife. There is no doubt of the substantial
truth of these representations, and it is the
duty Of the State and city officials, as well as
those of the general government, throughout
West, where these desperate conspirators are
most active, to watch them viglantly and ar
est them promptly on the FIRST reasonable
demonstration, and especially to make full
provision for defending he polls against cop
perhead violence in November. The rebels
feel that their fate hangs on the reeult Of The
presidential election. They will spare neither
money nor effort to procure decision in their
favor. The defeat of Lincoln will be the
greatest OF their victories it may be decisive
IN their favor. There is no means so desper-
ate nor so wicked that they will not use it, II
they can, TO compass their ends. Let their
emlsssries be put where they can do no mis-
chief 49, Springfield Republican.

AN APPEAL TO THE PEOPLE


The national Union committee has pub.

moud. 1t presents the great issues clearly
and concludes as follows:
We call upon the Union committees ant
The Union leagues, and upon all loyal sssoei
ations in every State, county, and town, to
perfect their organizations to iniuse fresh
vigor and activity into thsir operations to
canvass promptly and carefully their respect
i've districts; to circulate documents and
newspapers containing just and forcible ex-
positions Of the merits Of our cause to COM
bat by sssemblages Of the people in public
meetings, by public speeches, by conversa-
ti0n, by letters and personal appeals, and in
all just aud proper modes, the deceptive and
perllous sophistries OF tue agents and politi-
cal allies Of the rebellion. Let them be on
their guard against the arts Of corruption and
Of intrigue which will be brought with un-
scrupulous desperation to bear upon them.
The rebel government, and those foreign
pawers most deeply interested in our destruc-
tion, could well expend millions in over
throwing this administration and placing in
power the nominees and representatives Of
the Chicago convention.
" The skies are bright and full Of promise.

The heart Of the people beats true to the

people Of the southern states from their en-
forced disloyslty, and give hem again the
blessings Of self government within the

aud fag u the United States. Il will enable
our own government TO exchange the weapons

stern control over public action and public
speech which a state OF war renders Inavuid-
