chicago Convention.
The following article from the New
York Herald should be read by every pa
triotic man in the land, as it truly indi-
Gates the intention and the objects of the
/ copperhead faction in the coming politi-
cal contest. The Herald, perhaps, more
than any other journal in the country, is
familiar with the workings of the copper
head organization, and may fairly be re-
garded as its central organ. There is no
doubt, that the magnitude of the schemes
being concocted by the copperheads to or
ganize rebellion in the free States, begin
to appal even the jesuitical controllers of
the Herald. Hence the publication of
the following article
George n. Sanders, with some twenty
or thirty rebel politicians and officers, is
now at Niagara Falls, plotting and schem-
ing in behalf of Jeff. Davis and his villain
Gus cause Remaining, as they do, on
the Canada side, they are in a favorable
position to operate upon the politicians
who visit that locality during the hot sea-
son. From all accounts they are making
the most of this advantage. They have
concocted grand scheme for the control
of the Chicago Convention Their pro-
ject contemplates forcing a rupture and
division of the convention, after the man
ner of the split at Charleston in 1860 =
This is to be brought about in a way that
will embitter the copperhead and peace
factions, and, with them thus maddened,
inaugurate system of riot and insurrec-
ton, not only in the West, but also in this
and other Eastern cities. The split in
Charleston in 1860 was accomplished by
the scheming of Yancy, Slidell, Davis
and other leaders in the Southern States,
for the very purpose of bringing about
state of affairs that would give them a
plea to inaugurate rebellion.
y break up in that convention was ne
cessary, or rather preliminary step in
preparing the public mind of the South
for the revolution which was already
planned by the leaders. In accomplishing
this result they were assisted by the AL
bany Regency and other unscrupulous pol
iticians of the North The events of four
years have since rolled around the re-
! bellion, with all its evils and suffering in
the South, has been inaugurated and kept
up; but they are at length driven to des-
peration, and are in straitened circum-
stances. They are compelled to resort to
some scheme to secure diversion in the
North or 90 under A plot for split
and break up at Chicago is resolved upon,
to be followed by revolution in the North,
as the last hope for their sinking cause.
To accomplish this the rebel agents,
rebel blowers and rebel plotters have been
rushing back from Europe, and have
made Canada their base of operations.-
The country from Montreal to Niagara
Falls and Windsor, opposite Detroit, is
filled with them, all directing their efforts
upon the Chicago Convention. Valland-
igham was sent back to Ohio to play his
part of the game there. But in order to
accomplish their end, time was needed.
Accordingly the postponement of the Chi
cago Convention was essential. The peace
faction and their organs boldly came out
for an adjournment. Dean Richmond
and the Regency became willing agents
in their hands, and the time asked for by
the rebel couspirators in Canada was OBJ
tanned. Thus the first step towards bring
| inc about Northern revolution has been
accomplished by the aid of the Regency,
and the same class Of Northern politicians
who played into the hands of the Sothern
conspirators at Charleston. What now
do we see
Sanders and his rebel plotters are ac-
lively at work perfecting their scheme.
Already the Democratic Convention of
Kentucky has adopted peace resolutions,
and done all it could to assist Sanders in
laying his wires for the Chicago Conven-
ton. Fernando Woods seedy peace com
mittee assembled in this city to add its
voice and support to the plot of the reb-
els. The Chicago Times, Cincinnati In
guiirer aud other peace papers of the West
have enlisted in Sanders cause as far as
they dare Such twaddling journals as
the Neus and World, of this city, and the
Atlas and Argus, at Albany, have been
gradually working themselves INTO the
same scheme, and, under the influence Of
! the conspirators. Some forty orhtty reb-
~el politicians, with Sanders at their head,
and a few Copperheads OF the North, met
at Windsor, about the 9th of June, and
perfected their arrangements for opera
tions at Chicago.
A split in thc convention is the hrst
move; then insurrection, riot ard rebel
lion-thus using the same means that
were resorted to il 1860 90 force the South
to commence the rebellion TO inaugurate
q revolution at the North, in the hope of
by that means diverting attention and
bringing about division that will enable
them to delay their final overthrow and O.
nen a road for the success of the confed-
eracy. That JEFF Davis and The rebel
chiefs have been driven to this as last
resort is now apparent. 1t is their last
hope for the success of the bogus South
ern confederacy. 1t is revolution at tie
North or death to their cause. Hence
