NORTHERN AID TO RERELs.

letter 10 JfuEfSou OdFlS aa lAl u Ie&SVu 20
a man dared to write who preserved judi
cious honor Of being hung by the neck until
dead. In that letter he spoke words Of coua-
fort and encouragement to the arch-traitof,
by assuring him that Il the experiment Of
secession were to be tried, "the fighting
would not be along Mason g. Dl1on's line
merely.r SIT would be, " he added, within
our oan borders, and in our Own streets-"-
It was Kuch assurances Us these from Pierce,
and other sneaking traitors like him, that
secession Wonld find friends and fighting fol-
lowers in the North, who would resort to
violence and blpodehed IN our own borders
and streeta in its defence, that spurred onthe
rebels to cagrs forward their conspiracy, and
attack the Government. JEFF: Davis and his
associates relied on the pledges and promises
Of Frank Pierce and other Northern Demo
crafts to excite rebellion and rouse civil strife
In our midst, as one of their main grounds
Of hope and sources Of strength. These
Northern renegaaes and Democratic Pence
men have not up to this time redeemed their
pledges or fulfilled their PROMISES! )! and if
there be any Yankees especially cursed and
abhorred by the rebel leaders, it is, they say,
Frank Pierce and those who like him have
cheated and betrayed the South, and TINS
proved themselves the meanest, the most
treacberous, and most cursed Of all the vile,
sneaking, and detested Yankee race.
Still It is not quite inst to accuse them Of
rtter want of good faith. and Of no effort to
excite In behalf Of rebellion. outbreaks and
civil conflict Ia the North. There were some
deeply laid plots to do it IN the
course Of the struggle with Vallan-
dicharn In Ohio. The dark, malignant
and desperate efforts Of rebel sympathizers
TO get up resistance to law, riots, murders,
condagTatione, and blood-shed In Ohio, were
such as could not tai1 to be Of vast service to
the rebellion, and must have been regarded
with grim satisfaction and vindictire Of de-
light by JET. Davis. Another bold and most
energetic effort to carry the fighting away
from Mason and Dixon,s line into our own
streets and borders, was made by Horatio
Seymour and +this Giends," In getting up
the internal eutragee and bloody atrocities of
the New York riots. The sight Of q roaring
mob t1ampling ont life, firing buildings and
spreading havoc and dismay in the great city,
brought new joy md fresh hope to all the
traitor crew. There WAS then, 1t seemed at
last to the rebel leaders, some good in Yam
kee sneakE, some honor still left in Northern
Democrats.
The Indications are now stronger than ever
| TINT there Is to be during this summer more
united and earnest effort Of these Northern
repesades and abettors Of treason to fu1d1l
| their pledge made to the rebel leaders, to
make secession success by stirring up sedi-

midst. The Copperheads are urged By MI
their party leaders and organs to resist and

charged TO protect themselves at all events.
Men are assured that thsy have the right, and
are cowards il they do not resist the draft
Collisions between the military aud civil
power are c1aftils plotted, and peEseveringly

uouuced as high-handed. tyranny and usurpa-

despots proclaimed to be the right and duty
