and how she might have been fortur
ate but for that ugly Mr.. Lincoln
e who was jealons of her, and mad
o people believe she was no bette
than she ought to be! But more in
teresting one we shall have from Mis-
Cochrane. The old lady is some
what garrulous, and rather eccentri,
of speech. like most old maids. anC
has been in more families than ont
since her earlier life. How she wen
to Buffalo after the Van Burens, an6
to Mr.. Pierce after certain loave:
and fishes, and TO. Richmond aftel
Jefferson Davis and to Mr.. Lincoln
after further loaves and fishes, and
down into the army, where that en-.
vious fellow Burnside worried her SO
that she got sick and had to come
] homei She has had her own time
tramping around, this poor Miss
Cochrane; and now there is hope that
she will have peace and comfort, and
cake and wine, and tea and snuff, at
Chicago.
This, of course, will be happy
union. Ill-natul ed people tell us that
there has been much ILL feeling be-
tween the families, and that great
scandal will ensue. But if they love
each other now, what difference will
it maker 81 am sure" says Mrs.
Malaprop, 81 hated your poor, dear
uncle, before marriage, as ifhe'd been
a blackamoor, and yet, Miss, you are
sensible what wife make "There
are two intimate friends of the fami-
ly, for instance, Mr.. Wendell Phil
lips and Mr.. Fernando Wood. We
all know that Phillips and Wood
have been as far apart as the anti
podes, as different in their TEN
p er as tn e cobra-di eapello
and the dove. They have been the
political Montagu and Capulet, never
meeting without brawl. Phillips
has been a high priest among the an
ti-slavery radicals, and for twenty
years has swung the censor in the
anti-slaverS temple Wool has been
prince among Secessionists, as
consistent but hardly as courageous
rebel as Davis or Toombs. All
these things will be forgotten at
Chicago-and when the benediction
is pronounced over the newly united
Copperhead Radicals, their glasses
will clink together in the joyous Ii
baton. We shall have Mcclellan
and McKinstry, Fitz John Porter and
the staff-majors with unpronouncea-
BILE names, William B. Reed and
Mrs. E. Cady Stanton, Charles In
gersoll and Mrs. Abby Forster,
Samuel S. Cox and Frederick Doug
lass, all surrounding the newly ymar-
ried pair and overwhelming them
with congratulations. Charles Mac
kay, with his Cockney Copperhesd
rhymes, will write the nuptial- song;
and the might clerk of the World,
with his German friends of the NeU
Nation, will sing the chorus.
1t is not for us to be too busy with
our neighbors' affairs, or to ask i'm
pertinent questions. The Nev Na-
tion tells US that the main cause of
this affectionate sympathy between
the Copperheads and Radicals is
"the hatred of Lincoln" This con-
trolling thought overrides and sur
passes all difference of principle, of
record, of former association. What
are freedom and union compar ed
with the "hatred of Lincoln ?" This
is the chain that links them all to-
gether. This "hatred of Lincoln is
SO engrossing, so intense, so all
pervadins-so general in its appli-
cation, from Wendell Phillips to JEFF
ferson Davis-that we venture to
make suggestion. Why not trans
fer the marriage ceremony from Chi
cago to Richmond1 If "hatred of
Lincoln" is to be the motto of the
new epithalamium, there will be more
singers in Richmond than in Cleve-
larfd, or Chicago, or the Five Points.
Let them all herd together, and 60 to
the place of all places where the 'ha-
tired of Lincoln" is virtue and a re-
ligion. They need not have any
hesitancy about getting through the
lines. Vallandingham found it easy
enough, and if these people are real
ly desirous of going General Butler
will be happy to meet them at City
Point, and escort them as far as the
guns of Fort Darlirg.--Press.
