.rce ~ its presidential candidate by
means of rec. Sless assaults upon the adj
ministration, bys tender demonstration
of McClellan's want o. availability, and
by utterly preposterous apu ioolnaruy
attempts to write down 1t. Ge.h Grant
As A stupendous humbug and failure
n seems from the following further eX-
tracts from the same paper that it is
also striving to curry favor with the
copper democracy by exerting itself to
undermine public confidence in the ma
tional funds and credit, and so contrl-
butte, by one of the most effective meth
DDS possible, to the rational overthrow.
1t even goes so far as to initiate the des-
plcable course pursued by the most ma
ngnant coppcrhead journals prior to the
riots of last year, in suggesting and in
viting northern revolution. 1t says
Federal bonds may be good enough
investment for federal currency; but for
q safe deposit of real value they can no
longer be recommended. The limited
subscriptions OF the ten forty loan show
that these views have become wide
spread"
And further that
"Even non-dividend- paying railroad
shares bring more thar the six per cent.
government securities. Discredit has
scarcely Il lower depth, and the tendency
in government securities is downward"
And it INDUCES in the following
threat,
I'm order to rid themselves of a ty-
rant, the people may be driven to strike at the
foundations Of Government, and in the
struggle public credit can hardly fail to
suffer. In view of this danger, many
people are exchanging their 'greenbacks'
for notes of sound state banks, which,
it is believed would not be wholly in
volved in the ruin which seems insepa-
rable from continuance of Mr.. Lin
coins administration"
The ultra peace-and-surrender demo-
cratic national committee, of which
Tom Florence is chairman, in their
meeting at Washington, acquiesced in
the postponement of the Chicago con-
vention. OF course they did, forif there
is one thing which above all Others the
wilkins Micawber democracy know how
to do, 1t is to wait for something to
turn up" and they are still waiting
The committee it is also said, were
unanimous for an armistice.
The Albany Evening Journal, abiding
to the hopeful coquetting going on be-
tween the democrats and the Fremont
ers, suggests that the announcements
for their campaign meetings may be ex-
pected to show an amusing mixture
with Vallandigham and Phillips, Gov.
Seymour and Parker Pillsbury, Fernan-
do Wood and abby Kelly, for speakers
The Detroit Advertiser enquiries If the
aristocratic copperheads who denounce
Lincoln and Johnson as "boors and buff
foons," because the one was "a rail-split-
ter" and the other "a tailor" will not
also turn up their noses at Gen. Grant
because he was a tannerl Undoubt-
eddy.
J. L. NJ. Curry, Of the confederate
senate, lately made a speech at Tallade-
ga, Alabama, in which he confessed that
the chief hope of the rebels is in cop
perhead success at the north, and said
plainly: "Should Lincoln be reelected,
our fond hopes will be dashed to the
ground; our independence but a thing
dreamed of; for we have exhausted our
resources, and could not possibly hope
to be able to continue the war four
years longer" A rebel speaks truth for
once.
The sensible portion OF the Germans
are discovering the drift Of the Fremont
movement, and are abandoning it. The
Germans of Philadelphia have adopted
the Baltimore nominations, and aine o.
German papers of the west, which i'm
mediately after the Cleveland Conven
ton, put the name of Fremont at thu
head of their editorial columns, have
dropped the same, and are now strongly
supporting Lincoln and Johnson.
While the democrats and Fremonter
are waiting" the people are rallying t.
the standard of the only party which
has any vital principle, and which is TO
the preservation of the Union, at al
hazards, under all circumstances, first
last and all the time.
