SnowiSo rHnR HANDs.-The Copperheads
of Washington lave published the trea. ou-
able speeches recently delivered in the
House of Representatives by MIR. Long, Of
Ohio, as campaign documents. We regard
this as pretty conclusive evidence that his
traitorous sentiments meet the approval of
the party. In addition 10 this proof, how
ever, we have the statement Of the aeon
stitutional Union" their organ, published al
the seat of Government by Tom Florence,
that there "these thrilling efforts Of Mr. Long
are anxiously sought for" We do not know
by whom, unless it be by the Oopperheads
This effort TO disseminate peace doc
Irnes, at once stamps the party as uiders
and abetters OF the traitors of the South,
beyond the possibility OF successful contra
diction. Why not publish that of Mr..
Harris, of Maryland also They are both
OF the same character, and if Mr.. Longs is
calculated to do them good in the coming
contest. Mr.. Hans would be equally servi
ceable.

DEATH or REV. J. LEAsoN HOOD.


With deep sorrow we are called upon to-
day to announce the death of the Rev. j.
LEAsoN HooD, Assistant Minister of St.
Andrews Protestant Episcopal Church in
this city. He died in Philadelphia on Fri
day evening last, in the oath year of his age
Mr.. Hood has labored in this charge for
several years, during which time he has Off
ciated at Calvary Chapel with much success.
He was beloved and esteemed by all who
had the pleasure of his acquaintance, for his
many amiable qualities, and his frank, honest
and noble nature. He was truly an ardent
laborer. in the vineyard of his Saviour, and
seemed to make everything else secondary to
his duty as a Christian minister. He zeal
ously entered into the project OF building
up congregation at Calvary Chapel, and
lent all his energies to accomplish that OBJ
ject. By his demise the Sabbath School
has lost one ofits most devoted friends. He
was constant in attendance al the school,
and untiring in his efforts to render it in
teresting and attractive to the scholars, so
as to make it pleasure for them to be there.
The teachers and scholars have both lost
one whose place cannot be easily filled. The
Diocese has sustained the loss of young
man Of fine abilities, one who promised to
be au ornament to the Church, and safe ex-
ponent of its faith. His death has cast shade
Of sorrow over the large circle OF friends
with whom he mingled Thus has he
passed away in the very morning of his days
and labors, to that rest which awaits all who
place reliance on their Redeemer. He has
gone to reap the reward youehsaled 10 the
children of God.
The funeral ceremonies will take place at
the Church of the Advent, Philadelphia, at
twelve O'Clock to-day, when the sermon will
be preached by the Right Rev. Bishop Lee.
The remains will be Inferred at Bristol,
Pennsylvania.

TIE CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION. The
Constitutional Convention of Maryland,
assembled at Annapolis, on Wednesday. A
decided majority of the delegates are in
favor of Emancipation without compensa-
tion, and the hope is cherished that they
will, ere long present to the people for their
approval, a constitution which blots out that
"twin relic Of barbarism," human slavery.
Our sister State will then take her place
among the free States of the Union, and
commence her onward march to prosperity
and greatness. The true friends of freedom
in Delaware congratulate them on the bril-
liant prospect before them, and give them
an earnest of our determination in Novem-
ber next, to make an effort to strike off the
shackles which enthrall us, and form another
link in the chain of States, forming our
great, free Republic.
