We copy the above article entire to show
the means resorted to by the copperhead press
to create dissatisfaction, hard and Ill feelings,
not only against the Administration, but
against sections. If there is one type Of hui
manity, more despicable or more abhorrent
to the true patriot and good citizen, than
another, it is that fault finding, querulous,
demagogue who employs
his time and his talents in fomenting dissen-
lions, and fostering sectional hate. This
deplorable civil war that is now devastating
our country, and filling the late peaceful and
happy homes Of the land with anguish and
mourning is the indirect result Of just such
appeals to the passions, prajudices and pock-
cts Of the ignorant and uniformed. And
this same editor of the Milwaukee NeaoS did
his full share of that dirty work The APP
peals used to be to the passions and preju-
dices of slave holders against abolitioDists
and Republicans and when Republicans car
ried every Northern State it was against the
North. The twaddle about the usurpations
of the North npon the rights and interests of
the South that he has written would fill vol
umes And hundreds of co laborers have
done the same. The bitter bread cast upon
the waters is now being gathered, in war, in
bloodshed, in rapine,in pestience and famine
to those who have needed the wicked teach
inga.
The same course has now been adopted to
create enmity and i'll feeling between the
East and the West. More than year ago
the editor Of the NeWS and his brother cop
perheads commenced their TRADES against
New England, with the hope that such a
feeling of bitterness might be created, that
some of the Western and Northwestern States
might be induced to join their fortunes to
the bogus Confederacy of jeff Davis for the
sake of getting rid of New England. This
incendiary appeal that we have given above,
to western business men, and to western toll
and enterprise. is of the same kind and for
the same purpose 1t is all false-all gam
mon If New England manufacturers are
unusually prosperous it is because there is
an unusual demand for their products The
same prosperity that the New England man
ufacturers enjoy, extends to western farmers
though it may be in lesser degree. Far
mers get enhanced prices for their grain, Tor
their beef, their pork, and for their wool, and
the manufacturers of New England might
with the same justice and the same common
sense, sit down and inveigh against the add
ministration and the West for the increased
prices they have to pay for corn, flour, wool,
&c.
AS the NeoS says, it is apparent to every
body that natue has been partial to the west
ern States. 1t is true that 'our supplies are
found at our doors"-that 'iron lead, copper.
wheat-all of wealth that nature i'll its boun-
ty can bestow upon man." are found here
in profusion" And it may be that because
nature has done so much for us, we are dis
posed to do less for ourselves. We have adj
vocated the establishment of manufactures
III the west, almost constantly, for the past
ten or fifteen years. 1t needed no great amount
Of penetration or common sense, or knoWl-
edge of the law of political economy to I'M
derstand that the nearer together you bring
the producer and the consumer, the more
each will make, other things being equal.
So long as we have to transport all our
grain to an eastern market--all our wool to
eastern manufacturers there to be manutac-
tured and then bought back again in wear
ing materials-and our iron, lead and cop
per to eastern factories to be returned in
manufactured goods-so long will western
toll and enterprise meet with very moderate
reward. Don't the editor Of the Nelc& know
this? Cannot he see, that now, western toll
and enterprise not only enriches New Eng
land manufacturers, but also numerous trans
portation companies and grain buyers, wool
buyers, spectators, and host of wholesale
dealers and retail dealers Every busheI of
grain we raise every pound CT wool we shear
has to go through all those hands before
they get back to US in the shape of cloths
and the innumerable manufactured articles
that enter into the daily and hourly consump-
ton Of every man and every family through
out the agricultural districts. Comparative.
ly speaking we manufacture nothing. Even
our broom handles and whipstocks have to
be transported from New England manufac-
tories. Our coarsest as well as our finest
cloths, the thread to make them up the but
tons and the pins that hold them together
all come from New England Factories. and
it is no credit to our enterprise that the wool
we sell comes back to US double or quadru-
pied by the introduction of that proportion'of
shoddy. 1t is to these facts instead of the
tariff bills, tax bills OR appropriation bills,
that We are to look for the state of things the
