What is the meaning of all this Copper
head grumbling at the North2 Tous, there
can be but one explanation; These men
donot S0aat to fg1t they have not theeour-
age. Most of them believe the war is Just,
and they we're, at one time, greatly in IA
vcr of it; but when they were called to
take the field in person, and show by their
acts the depth of their patriotism, their
unmanly hearts failed them. They could
see their neighbors and neighbors' sons en-
listing and marshaling for the contest, and
applaud the act. They could even contrib
ute few dollars bounty, as long as it was
thought the ranks could be filed by volun-
teering. But when the trying hour came,
and the Government needed all its able
bodied men todefend it against its enemies,
when the extent Of the rebellion, and the
desperate character of its leaders we're
developed. they shrank away like
whipped ours. To justify this mean
oowardice. and shield themselves from Just
reproach, they began to denounOe the
war, they abused their brothers and friends
in the field, because they had not the man
hood to shoulder musket and stand side
by side with them in the defence Of a
cause which God and humanity know is
just They tried to bring reproaeh upon
a.calling whose dangers they dare not
share and whose honors they could not
hope to gain. 'f l'mmo1 -as n.f
