WHAT Does Il Mean ?

The disunion coppcrhead press is in
ecstacieS over the result OF the Cleve-
land Convention, in the nomination of
Fremont for the Presidency, and Coch-
ran for the Vice Presidency From the
iubilant manner in which they announce
these nominations, We regard it as more
than probable that the party will yet re
pudiate Vallandigham and the Grave
Digger Of the Chickhominy," AMI adopt
the Cleveland ticket rs their own Reader

coming suddenly enamored of him when
he is placed in a position to divide and
distract the great Union party
With his former opponents he now be-
comes the champion of right, and is the
recipient of their fondest caresses. The
vices they once attributed to him are
forgotten. and they now regard him as
the virtuous embodiment of all that is
good. If indeed they do not intend TO
make him the child of their political
adoption, they certainly are DESTROYS of
furthering his claims to the extent that
such a division of the loyal forces shall
take place, as shall enable the copper
head nominee to succeed. and thus bring
ruin to the country. We regret that
Gen. Fremont has allowed himself TO

ambition feeling as wedo that if this
course Ia persisted in, his fame is tarnish-

A Revolutionary Suggestion.

The Albany, \. Y. Argus, Governor
Seymour's organ, advises the Democratic
members of congress TO withdraw from
that body. This suggestion, which reads
exactly like that the Charleston Mur,.urv
used TO give the Secessionists. creates no
alarm in New \ DIRK. II is very stron Civ
intimated That the citizens would like FOR
some Of the New Y ork City delegation 20
withdraw. for they would then have an
opportunity OF sending others OF differ
ent stamp to fill their places-mcmbers
who would have Il little more affection
for the Union and not quite so much sym
pathv for the rebels. The Argus advice
will not he taken, for the few members
who might be supposed to be ready from
inclination for revolutionary projects
have a shrewed suspicion of what the
results would be. But how does this
advice agree with Governor Sevmour's
declaration that ''all must bow to the
Law" and that '.any action outside of
legal procedures is criminal = 1t is
within the law to advise such a revolu-
tionary proceeding as the withdrawal of
Congress sional delegations"
