- The Copperherds' love of the soldiers
was again demonstrated ut Nation the
other day. Their mode Of doing it is orig
inal just a. their regard for the Constitu-
ton, their obedience to the law and their
peaceable and quiet disposition have very
original manifestations. They shoot sol.
diers down in the streets, without provo
cation; their love IL 20 great. They sup.
port the Constitution by giving aid TO reb-
els who seek TO destroy it. They obey the
laws BY resisting their enforcement and
BY violently seeking to suppress them
They evince quiet and peaceable disposi-
ton BY instigating mobs and engaging in
them. 1t il . queer way they have Of
doing things, to be sure. But then they
must be honest and sincere. Don't they
tell Us every day and every hour in the
day, that they love the volunteers, revere
the Constitution, obey the laws and always
keep the peacef And are they not honest,
patriotic and most veracious citizens 2
Must We not conclude that all the world
has been through all the past entirely mis-
taken in its ideas Of these virtues? It must
be 50. The Copperheads have had q new
revelation. They have the true idea. The
"New Civilization has brought forth it's
ripe and tempting fruits, and the Cop
perheads exemplify them. Is it not a
most charming spectacle of intelligence
and public and private virtues they pre-
sent to us? How fascinating it is
