The Abolitionlsts and the Copper
heads and the Rebels are not so far
apart as some people think. 1t has

the Copperheads that this war was
brought on by 1.-THE extremist, North
and the extremists South" The ex-
tremists South" were led by jeff Da-
Wis & Co., and the extremists North"
were under the leadership of Fremont,
Pillsbury, Phillips & Co. The former
were the leading spirits in the Demo

great anxiety for ITS success, says:
But why should Democrats have any
choice in the action of the Republican party
