our Government has an enemy, and th<

the rights Of the people and the liberties
secured BY rspublican institutions ars
feared and contemned, there our Govern,
msnt is hsted, and good wishes and sarsss'
efforts are put forth to aid the rebels il
securing their independence.
The monarchists and aristocrab Of III
Europe are combined in an alliance oi
hatred against our free institations, aud,
with the leaders Of the Northern wing of
the slaveocracy Of our own country, are in
fellowship with the slave power Of the
South, which seeks the dissolasion of eur
Union and the destruction of or CIV
ment. And As far Is they dare. the Cpp-
Perhsads ofthe North and the monarch ii,s
and aristocrats of foreign countries jss
rendering aid and comfort to our Scusk-
ern enemies. The evidssses u keir
common sympatby and the virtual alliance
between the shrss parties are too nuner-
80 and sppsrsst to reqoirs rssapissla-
sion. 10 every snsressey shey sssfousd
acting 10 concert and their sentimes,s
are identical.
The traitors assure the world that they
cannot be conquered, that they will never
submit to the Government of the United
States. The aristocracy Of England and
the empires of France declare that it il
utterly preposterous for the United States
to think OF coercing the secessioaists to
submit to the authority Of the Union.
And the leading Copperheads in Congress
have now boldly taken up the strain and
de6antly declare that We eausot vhip the
south, and proudly proclaim their hopes
and wishes that the traitor Confsd eracy
may achieve its independence. And
while that movement was going on, on the
part Of the Copperhead politicians in Con-
gress. the Copperhead operations on Wall
street, assisted by the monisd agents Of
the aristocracies Of Europe, were making
. desperate effort 70 bring down our
finances and destroy the credit Of the
Government. Everything goss to show
that i. Was desperate and Systematic
effort for q political and not financial
purpose.
The simple fact that the Treasury De-
rartmsns was issuing certi6catss to a
amount exceeding any legitimate demand
for gold, worth their face in gold in New
York, or any place else in che United
States, on premium Of IS cents, demon.
stsates of itself that nothing short Of .
Systematic politieal conspiney could have
produced the spasm which run gold up
to 100, in New York, the other day. L.
was concert of action betweeu the Cop-
perhead leaders in Congress and the
svindIing agents Of European monarchists
snd aristocrats on Wall street to break
down the credit of our Government, em-
barrass ia finances, and render prepan-
ton for an early movement of our armies
against the enemy impossible.
And now all over the North the Cor.
perhead press have caught the idea. and
they are coming up with eager anxiety 10
render all the aid and comfort ia their
power, BY apologies for the srsitors in
Congress, and by venomous attacks on
the currency and credit of the country,
and nsguifying eaIoeies on specie cur
rency, which no people ever did have
during war times, and which it Is ont Of
de question:, = every man knews, for
= 70 have now.
The truth is. the traitors 81 the South,
the nonarehists and aristoorats Of Europe,
the Copperhssds Of the Nsrth, bosh psaos

their several spheres are al doing he

and tho consequent destruction Of our
