New Hampshire COppeIheadism.

The kiud OF CrpperhcrdIsm which We
sqne!ched in New Hampshire last Tuesday,
may be inferred from the following speech,
delivered by one Of the leading Demo
cratic politicians, J. b. Murphy, at New
ington, y. H., Jan. 22d:
"The Democrats have submitted to the
de>potic sway Of Abe Liucolu for three
years, thinking il better 10 endure wrong
fo7 short tine than to risk all by a last
appeal to arms. But Iov the time is
coming wheo we can change cur rulers.
Rather than submit ionr years longer to
Abe Lincoln, and be JveTrun by the h0r3es
Of his hireiiGy soidiery let us ing out the
cry OF old, 40 yoHr tc"ts, q kraei."
Democrats shouid orD. n"d orylnise into
HW c}abs, compute, s5dnaHions, regiments
dItd Lriyu.fes, for those blood thirsty hto-
!lllonisls and sho9iyite thieves and trai-
tors are wind 5rokcU, spawned, dyspep-
TIC race, and one regiment Of Democrats
coud d wh;p three of them. Oar armies
have accomplished nothing; the Army
OF the Potomac is grand picnic excur-
sl1n, eating up the substance of The
nation, and coming home to vote down the
liberties Of the people and render our
elections a farce aud mockery to the
world"
Now, where can you find purer treason
than this Nothing more treasonable has
ever been uttered, North or South, for
"lo.tbc many years" The above ez-
tract are very nearly the words used by
the traitors South while inAlming the
people OF that section against the North,
and educating them to systematic hatred
Of everything pertaining to freedom and
the free States. 7hey said that one
SOuthernor could whip half dozen Yam
KEGS E; the above traitor thinks that one
Democrat (Copperhead) can handle three
Abolltlonists /; he is a little more mojer-
ate than his more honorable fellow traitors,
but his object is the same. The idea Of
the Potomac army continual picnic is a
new oue-Bull Run, the reuinsular cam
paign, Artietam, Frederick burg, Chan
celiorsville, Gettysburg-highly entertain
ing pic-nics indeed. II the Irish scoun.
drel believes his own words, why doesn't
he attend the picnic, aud epjoy its pleas
ures, rather thnn remain in the cold
regions Of New Hampshire aud "submit
four years longer" &c, &c, as above?

tianity,) thus hits some Of the Copperhead
professors in this vicinity severe dig for
their breach Of decoGum in house of
worship:
"During the meeting Of the Evangelical
Conference at Lewisburg, last week, after
a discourse in St Paul's Church in the
evening, when it was in order to propose
lie members to the Missionary Society, Il
certain .Aboli,ionist proposed that Old
Abe be made a life member. Fifty dollars
were required to do this. Some one then
proposed Gen. Mcclellan and his wife as
members. tbs created loud applause.
Such proceedings are out Of place, because
they only embitter the feelings of the
people and create discOrd.'
There is nothing wrong in making life
or honorary mem bers Of Mr. Lincoln or
Gen. M'Cie!lan; but such boiserous
demonstrations are certainly out of place

party NAV be the offel ders
