COpperhead Tactics.

The relations between the Copperheads
and the WENDELL PHILLIPS school of radicals
have recently become of an extremely sac
charine character. Perhaps, however, this
assertion does injustice to the radicals. The
sweetness may be all confined to the Copper
heads. The latter have manifested as much
interest in the Cleveland Convention as if il
were an affair of their own. They allude to
it in the most fattering terms. The New
York World of last Saturday observed that
3" all the signs go to show that the coming
Cleveland Convention will be most formid-
able gathering" The Albany Arga@
went so far as to state in ad-
vance the substance of the platform
to be adopted at Cleveland, and very gener-
ally approved of it. The Chicago Times has
a special at the convention, who is unctious
and enthusiastic in his account of the pro-
ceedings, and its editorials upon the affair are
sweet and patronizing.
Every intelligent person must understand
the meaning of this Copperhead encourage
ment to the radicals Nobody with a thimble-
full of brains is foolish enough to suppose
that at heart the Copperheads are more
friendly to FREMONT than to LINCOLN, or that
thep would prefer his election to the Presi-
dency. Their policy is simply to cultivate
divisions and dissensions among anti-slavery
and Union men. If the positions of Mr.. LIN
coin and Gen. Fremont were reversed, and
the latter had received such an endorsement
from the Union men of the whole country as
to render It apparent that he was the first
choice of the great majority, we should find
the Copperheads just as assiduous in encour-
aging Mr.. LINCOLN and denouncing Gen. FIRE.
MONT as they are in pursuing their present
policy.
We have, however, no fears of the conse-
quences. The Union men of this nation are
going to vote together next November
WENDELL PHILLIPS and PARKER PILLsBURY
may vote for JOHN C. FREMONT. Hitherto
they have not voted at all. Consequently,
there viii be no diminution of the Union
vote resulting from their eccentricities. A
considerable number of Germans who voted
for Mr.. LINCOLN in 1860, may also support
Gen. FREMONT, but not by any means the
whole mass of the German Republicans The
detection in this direction will be .compensa-
ted in the proportion of more than ten to one
by the War Democracy who form large
and growing element in the Union organiza-
ton Thus if 10000 German Republicans
throw away their votes upon Fremont, hun
dreds of thousands of men who, four years
ago voted for Mr.. DOUGLAS, will this year
rpport the Union National Ticket, and carry
the loyal states by majority hitherto UMPIRE
cedented in the history of the country.

MR. g. HEMANS.

oh queen of song! Sweet poetess thy heart,
Which gave thy pen the power loves tale to tell,
In all loves sweetest joys had little part;
Its bitterness, alas 1t knew too well.
How must that heart have priced Thy one bright
hour,
To tell its bliss with such harmonious power.
For love to thee was like a wounded oiro,
That weary, bears the cruel weapon yet,
Nesting within thy bosom which is stirred
By Wild sweet thoughts it never can forget
Fleeing ali, soon refreshed by its calm rest,
Leaving the arrow ranking in thy breast.
Though fame filed high for thee her dazzling bowl,
Till crystal drops jeweled the golden orim,
She gave no rest to thy rld-weary soul,
No answer to thy spirits ceaseless hymn
Love hath a sweeter nectar though he gave
To thee but spray thrown from the ruby wave.
Thy life, which seemed so long to the, was brief
To those thy glorious gift richly blessed,
And as the sun CLEANS out in bright relief
Behind some sunset cloud within the west
Even SO thy genius but the brighter seemed,
That all its light through clouds of sorrow streamed

The Cleveland Convention.

We publish, upon the next page, full re-
port of the proceedings of the Cleveland Con-
vention.
The ticket presented is: For President,
JOHN C. Fremont for Vice President, JOHN
CocHRANE. EF EFM
1t was the most motley political gathering
that has ever assembled In this country, com
prising eccentric and disaffected individuals
of nearly all parties and factions. While we
think its proceedings will be harmless, so far
as any serious division of the Union masses
of the country is concerned, it may operate
benefcially as a sort of safety valve, or es-
cape pipe, for the effervescent spirit of the
times.
If we are not considerably mistaken, 1t will
turn out that all who participated in the Con-
vention, with the possible exception of the
German radicals, will be dissatisfied with the
result of it. WENDELL PHILLIPS and his set
will be disguised that the principle of negro
suffrage was lodged ia the PLATFORM Inc
few War Democrats will be disguised With
the nomination of FREMONT, and the obviously
hopeless prospect of his endorsement by the
people Even the honor of seeing his name
published as candidate for Vice President,
will not reconcile JOHN CoCHRANE to the re-
GRANT nominated, and to win the substantial
fruits of victory. They hoped to forestall
eitker the action of the Baltimore or the
Chicago Convention and to use Gen. GRANT
as an instrument for elevating themselves to
the honors and emoluments of power. They
will not be content with empty honors.
The circumstance that by no possible con-
catenation of circumstances likely to arise
can the Fremont ticket carry a single State,
or even a respectable minority of the voters
of any State, will go far to reconcile WEN
DELL PHILLIPS and his followers to what they
will esteem the great defect of the platform.
They cannot bear success, and are unhappy
except when in a hopeless minority. They
are men who love to fight against odds. They
can only thrive under adverse circumstances,
like those plants that grow only where they
are trodden down The weakness of the
ticket will be its strength so far as they are
concerned.
We have heard it suggested that Fremont
will not accept such a nomination; that he
will not permit himself to be used for the
purpose of creating divisions among the
Union men of the country. Such expecta-
tions groundless, however Nothing in
his past history warrants them. If we do not
greatly mistake the character of the man, the
notoriety of running as candidate for the
prospect of success, is to him its own exceed
ing great reward.
