What Copperheads Propose to Do.

The Washington correspondent Of the
Chicago Times makes some bold threats
in regard to the policy which the cop
Perheads propose to pursue in case they
succeed in getting into power. Among
other things which will then come to pass
the writer mentions the following:
''And then, too, the doom Of the I'M
fotunate negro race will be fixed They
will not be exterminated. individual
acts of atrOcity on their part will be swift
tly and terrible punished. But the race
of American negroes will be once more
consigned to that condition the Almighty
has designated as their proper sphere, in
which and in which alone, they can be
both comfortable and happy themselves,
and be, at the 50 me time, useful members
of society"
The copperheads are thus gradually
developing their designs. Slavery is to
be re established and the l00, 900 col
lorcd soldiers, who have periled their
lives on behalf of the Union and who
have far more bravery than their cop
perhead slanderers, are To be re-enslave
providing these beautiful peace men get
into power Don't bother yourselves

see to it that you never get the power

statements from other sources in that

by the Copperhead "style of men" as
proof that their efforts to divide the
North are duly appreciated. The writer
says:

what was the opinion of his army. He
said, as near As l can remember, as fol

One Of the Dirt Eaters.

At the celebration of Washington
birth day in 1861, at Washington City,
few Federal soldiers joined ir the pro
cession. This gave great ofense to old
John Tyler, who was then in the city,
and who demanded an apology from
President Buchanan. The old copper
/ head Immediately got down in the dirt
and responded as follows:
WASHINGTON, FEBRUARY %, 1861
Ny Dear Sir: j found it impossible 10
prevent two or three companies of the
Federal trops from joining in the process
sion to-day with the volunteers of the
District without giving serious offence to
the tens of thousands of people who have
assembled to witness the parade
The day is the anniversary Of Wash
ingtcn's birth, a festive occasion through
out the land, and it has been particularly
marked by the House of Representatives..
The troops everywhere else join such
professions in honor of the birth day of
the Father of our Country, and it would
be hard to assign good reason why
they should be excluded from the priv
lege in the capital which he founded
himself
Ihey are here simply as posse conf
tatus, to aid the civil authorities in case
Of need. Besides, the programme was
published in the National Intellgencer
of this morning without my personal
knowledge--the War Department having
considered the celebration of the national
anniversary by the military arm of the
Government as n matter Of course
From your friend very respectfully.
