Gen. Meagher on Copperheaas.

At reception of the officers of the
Irish Brigade, in New York, last week,
General MEAGHER, in rising to propose a
toast in favor of President LINCOLN, ex-
pressed himself in the following pointed
and eloquent terms:
Beware of what has grown to be the most
significant designation of Northern enemies of
this country; beware of the reptiles who are
known as Copperheads. Applause and some
Kisses. Have no parley with them; show
no mercy to them; squelch them. Applause
and Kisses For the enemies of this country
in the North, who have no excuse who bid
their friends go forth to do battle, and then
cut down the bridges behind them SO that they
may fall sacrifices to the enemy, as they did
when General Lee invaded Pennsylvania last
summer, raising q revolt when you were bat
tling for the stars and stripes upon the Susque-
hanna as for these men we have nothing but
detestation; and for the Irish portion of it, l
deprecate, 1 loathe, Irepudiate, execrate
them. Applause.

A Military Republic.

The following is an extract from WEB
STEERS grafton on the completion of the
Bunker Hill Monument, June II, 1864:
military republic. government founded
on mock elections, and supported only by the
sword, is movement, indeed, but retrogade
and disastrous movement, from the regular and
old-fashioned monarchical system. If men
would enjoy the blessings of republican gov
eminent, they must govern themselves by rea-
son, by mutual counsel and consultation, by
sense of feeling and general interest, and by
the acquiescence of the minority in the will of
the majority, properly expressed; al nd above
all. the military must be kept, according to the
language of our bill of rights, in strict subor-
dination to the civil authority. Wherever this
lesson is not both learned and practiced there
can be no political freedom. Absurd, prepos-
ferrous it is, a scott and satire upon free forms
of constitutional liberty, for forms of govern
lnent to be prescribed by military leaders, and
the right of suffrage to be exercised at the point
of the sword. Works, DOL. 1, p. SO.

ON THE NAYGUR.
By MILES O'REIILY

Some tellus It's . burning shame
TO make the nagurs fight;
An that the thrade of befn' kilt
Belongs but to the white;
But as Tor me- upon my sowl!
So liberal are we here,
I'll let Sambo be murdered In place of myself
On every day in the year!.
On every day in the year, boys,
And every hour in the day.
sn4 The right to be kilt I'll divide Wild him,
An diVil word III say. g7n9.
In battles wild commotion
1 shouldn't at all object
If Sambos body should stop ball
That was coming for me direct;
And the prod of southern bagnet,
So liberal are we here,
I'll resign and let Samb0 take it
On every day in the year!
On every day in the year, boys,
An wild none of your nasty pride,
All my right in southern bagnet prod
Wild Sambo I'll divide.
The men who object to Sambo
Should take his place and fight;
And it's better to have naygurs hue
Than liver that's wake and white;
Though Sambo's black as the ace of spades,
His finger Trigger can pull,
And his eye runs straight on the barrel sights
From under his thach of wool.
So hear me all, boys, darlings,
Don't think I'm tippin' you chaff:
The right to be kilt I'll divide wild him,
And give him the largest half!

In the course Of the debate upon this
memorial, Hon. II. s. Foote said:
He CHANGED to know that there were men
not far from where he stood-God forbid that
they should be found in this Hall-who were
the open advocates of military despotism.
Rumor says that this portentious symptom is
not altogether confined to this vicinage, but
that one or two servitors of pampered power
are to be found even in the ranks of our army.
Now, let him say, once for all, that he should
not willingly surrender up an atom of the
present. controlling power over the reserved
militia force of the States to the President. and
add to his present dangerous capacity for mis-
chief, especially as he was sure that he would
never willingly surrender power of any kind

apt to sieze all convenient opportunities of ex.

crease OF his military capacity. He had but
little relish for the notion of establishing 9
dictatorship. He had not yet so far desponded
as to our cause as to perceive the necessity o.
resorting to this ancient Roman expedient
but he would deliberately announce that wher
he should consider the time for dictatorship
to have arrived, he would not be willing tc
vest supreme power in the person who is now
the incumbent of the Presidential station; but
he should, in preference, join in selecting as
our dictatorial chief, the only man in the Con
federate States whom he believed it would be
safe to trust with such overwhelming author
ity, the present illustrious commander of oul
Army of Northern Virginia, who, in all the
attributes which are supposed to have belong
ed to Washington himself, is superior to any
other living being.

THE REBEL CONGRESS.
A Memorial from the Army of the
Tennessee.

On December 2Sth, the following me-
mortal signed by Generals Hardee, Ste
venson, Cheatham, Breckenridge, and
nearly all the other officers in command
of the Army of the Tennessee, was read
in the Confederate House of Represent
atives:
To the Congress of the Confederate States:
In the existing condition of affairs it is
hoped your honorable bodies will pardon the
variance from custom of addressing you from
the army. 1t is done in no spirit of dictation,
but in the conscientious conviction that the ne
cessites of the country demand the voice and
labor of all, and that delay, even for thirty
days, IN enacting proper measures may make
present disorders incurable, and the dangers of
the moment omnipOtent for our destruction.
In our opinion, it is essential to retain. for
the term OF during the war, without reorgani-
zatlon, the troops now in service to place in
service Immediately, for the same term, all
other white males between eighteen and fifty
years of age, able to D, rform any military duty:

ZION Oh the PRESIDENT Tor the same term, all

several States; to prohibit details excent fnr

essential to the army; to prohibit DISCHARGES

negroes and molatoes, bond and free
These measures, we think, if promptly en-
acted as laws, 50 as to give time for organizing
and disciplining the new material, would make
our armies invincible at the opening of the
campaign OF next year, and enable us to win
back our lost territory and conquer peace
before that campaign shall be ended.

BUTLER LITERATURE.
Gen. Butler to the Norfolk &c Perfec.
tfOnists.,,

In Norfolk there is society called
"Perfectionists, and in their behalf some
ten or twelve Of this number have lately
addressed a letter to the commanding
general of that department, setting forth
their objections to swearing allegiance to
any earthly government. The subject was
disposed of by Gen. Butler in the follow
characteristic manner:
HEADoU'Rs 18TH ARMY CoRps.
Fort Monroe, Va, Jan. 13, 1864.
j. +. DOsier, Z. II. Beaseley, and Others:
GENTLEMEN: 1 have read your petition to
Gen. Barnes, setting forth your objections to
swearing allegiance to any earthly government
The first reason which you set forth is that
" all human governments are necessary evil
and are continued in existence only by the per.
mission of Jehovah, until the time arrives fol-
the establishment of his kingdom. and in the
establishment of which all others will be sub
the 9Th of Daniel and 18th verse;" &c.
You therein establish to your own satisfac.
ton three points:
First-The government, although an evil. is
Il necessary one.
Second-That for time it is permitted to
cXlSC Dy Inc wisdom OF JEHOVAH.
7hird-That the time at which period is to
be put to its existence is not come.
Therefore you ought to swear allegiance to
the government of the United States:
Ftrst-Because, though an evil you admit
it to be necessary.
Second-AlthOugh an evil, you admit that il
is permitted by the wisdom of Jehovah. and
that it is not for His creatures to question the
wisdom of His acts.
Ihird-YOu only claim to be excused when
Jehovahs government is substituted. which
period, you admit, has not yet arrived.
Your Obedient servant
