WHAT THE PEOPLE ARE TO Ex-
PECT.

The burdens that the people have felt
under Mr.. Lincoln have been almost in
telerably grievous, but they are light in
comparison with what they will become.
in case he and his party are successful.
Then, look out for sweeping censcrip-
ton, that will appal the world in nagni-
tude and horror, and that will literally
deplete its hearts blood. 1t will bs .
statute that will be as insxorable 80 the
laws of the Msdes and Persians, and its
execution will be as bloody as the laws oi
Draco. We shall have system Of taxa
ton that will rival that Of the worst king
of Egypt, and take from wealth more
than half of it's profits, and from labor
nearly all of its earnings. It will tsks
from US the ''last dollar" to be sacrificed
upon the altar of the shoddy contracter,
and the "last man." to be murdered by
some incapable political general.

COpperheads and Adders.

The Lincoln abolition party and the
Loyal Leaguers delight in giving the
name of "Copperhead" to all who differ
from them, to all who do net bow dowl
before their shrine of Lincoln and the
ncgro-to all who are opposed to tyranny
and who are lovers of the Constitution
and the Union; in 6ne to all who are truly
for liberty. (Hencs the term from the
head of LIBERTY on the old copper cent. }
Now what has this self-called loyal and
patriotic party done for our country p
Let US see.
1st. 1t has been the adder sfinaginary
clauses to the Constitution.
Cd. 1t has been the adder of the i'm.
aginary State Of Western Virginia to the
Union.
Sd. It has been the adder Of 81, ,0oo,.
0OO. 900 to our national debt.
4th. 1t has been the adder Of hundreds
of thousands of slaughtered soldiers ts
our bills of mortality.
5th. 1t has been the adder eta coua.
tless hest of shoddy contractors to the
governmental patronage.
9th. 1t is constantly the adder Of in

ties, and greater even; and still triumph
in the end
At present, however, do net see, a. /
stated in the outset, that you or I, or any
number of persons in our position, can do
anything toward inaugurating aay new
movement locking to peaceful seluties
Of the present strife. The war On our
part is fairly and entirely defensive in its
character. How long it will continue to
be thus wicksdly and mercilsssly waged
against US depends upon the people Of the
North.
Georgia, eur own State, to when we
owe allegiance, has, with great unanimity,
proclaimed the principles upon which .
just and permanent peace ought to be
sought and obtained. The Congress sf
the Coniederats States has followed With
an Endorsement of these principles. All
you and /, and others in our position,
therefore, can do on that line at this time,
is to sustain the movement already in
augurated, akd to the utmost of our abili-
ty to hold up these principles as the sur
est hope of restoring soundness to the
public mind of the North, as the brazen
serpent was held up, for the healing Of
Israel in the wilderness.
Inc chief AID and encouragement We
can give the Peace party at the North is to
keep before them these great fundamental
principles and truths, which alone will
lead them and US to permanent and lasting
peace, with possession and enjoyment Of
constitutional liberty. With these prin-
ciples once recognized, the future would
take, care of itself, and there would be no
more warse long as they should be adher.
ed to.
Allquestions of boundaries, Confsdsra-
cies and Union or Unions would naturally
and easily adjust themselves, according to
the interests ofparties and the exigeneies
of the times. Herein lies the true law of
the balance of power and the harmony Of
States.
Yours respectfully,
