The CoPPsrhesds take the recent Con
necticut election to heart very sadly. Thi
New York city organ Of JEFF Davis says
with evident pangs Of regret;
"The Union party will have sufieien
Prepondersnce, however, to amend the Con
stitution and permit soldiers to vote while
absent in army organizations"
Miss Emma Webb, the young Copper
head fedgeling, has again spoken her
piece in New York city. 1t Was an at
tack upon Miss Dickinson. She declared
the government was made for white men
alone, and then praised Mcclellan, at
which the audience cheered Justify. Her
efforts, the COpperhesds say, will snnihi-

The New York Herald still persists in its
wicked slandering Of the men and women
from New England who are ct Port Royal.
II the Herald had any influence with sem
sible people, its course would be shameful /;
but as it is the great buffoon Of the press,
with whom nothing is sacred, its articles
are read only with smiles of contempt.
Senator Grimes, of lows, opposes the
project to provide for enlistmsnts in rebel
States, on the plea, substantially, that rich
States like Massachusetts can 60 into the
rebel market and buy up slaves ct the rate
of from three hundred to one thousand
dollars piece, on the pretsnce Of liberia
ting them, and clap them into the ranks
of the army to fill up her quota Of troops,
while the younger or less wealthy States
cannot afford to enjoy similar luxury.
The New York Tribune indorses the idea
Of amending the Constitution so SIS to aboI-
ish slavery. It thinks, however, that the
Constitution does not recognize slavery,
but says:
:" For our own part, We have seen SO
many, and such serious evils resulting
from Constitution requiring continual
Judicial Interpretation, and we think we
are justified in saying legislative and sup
Elementary provision, that we shall not be
sorry to find hereafter an evil 80 great as
slavery guarded against expressly and in
80 many words"
Governor Hahn, Of louisiana in reply
to an article in the Tribune, has written 8
letter denying that he ever took the oath
Of allegiance to the rebel go7ernment.-
Governor Hahn has an opportunity now to
Tindieate his loyalty. ~.
The Hartford Daily Post says of the re.
cent election in Connecticut:
" Men Of the Opposition party the peO-
pie Of Connecticut, the people Of the uni
ted States, Have made up their minds in this
subject. They are going to see This var
through. Call them Abolitionists if You
please call them sbject slaves if you
choose. They proposeJto abolish this Re-
bellioni and they seek the servitude which
their country imposes upon them"
The lsboring men of New York city,
have protested against the recent levy Of
taxes in the Albany Assembly. They
have made q written statement Of their
grievances.

The New York papers state that the
supply Of cotton from the South is now
very considerably in excess of the home
demand, with continued liberal receipts
from the Southwest. The price has, how
ever, advanced four or I'VE cents pound
within few days, in consequence Of the
English market having so far improved
that it can be shipped to Liverpool at the
prices ruling in New York. The ship
ments from New York, last week, to for
eign ports were 1,758 bales, and the en-
gagenents this week promise to be even
larger. This has created large amount
Of exchange, which has OO-operatsd with
other causes to reduce the price Of gold
this week.

Last year the opposition in Connecticut
we're defeated by only $500. This year
they are defeated by about 5000. This is
the sixth time thst Governor Buckingham
has been reelected Governor. This IS not
only high compliment to Governor Buck
ingham, but very judicious plan. The
great bsne Of our public life in America is
that politics, not merit, too often decide
promotion to Office.

EncOurnGemeut Of EmigratiOn---DFaft OF
an Important Bill BY Mr. Seward.
Secretary Seward has addressed letter
to Mr.. Washburne, Chairman of the House
Select Committee on Emigration, recon.
mending the passage Of law to encour-
age emigration. He proposes to advance
to INDECENT emigrsnts sufficient money to
cover the expenses Of ocean transit, and
sends to the Committee the draft OF bill
to carry out the plan. The bill provides
for the appointment Of Commissioner Of
emigration, with three clerks, and pledges
the labor Of the emigrsnt FOR the repay
ment Of the loan. It also authorizes re-
ductiOn Of the tonnage duties upon emil
grant ships, and requires but one year for
the naturalization Of emigrants. The bill
will be reported to the House by Mr. Grin
nell, Of Iowa.

The Mexican Question In Congress.
The recent resolution Of Congress has
met the hearty appreciation Of the Press
generally. When the Senate shall have
acted upon this resolution we will know
more of what was meant by the London
Globe in saying that this Government has
promised to recognize the Msximilian dy-
nasty. If that promise means anything
more than simple neutrality during the
progress Of the civil war, it means more
than the country will endorse. Mr.. Sum-
ner, the Chairman, in the Senate, on For
eign Relations, in his famous Cooper In
stitute Speech, took even stronger ground
than is expressed in the resolution against
knuckling to Napoleon. We may expect
similar feeling to that of the House, to
be shortly manifested in the Senate.
Louis Napoleon viii now, probably, un-
derstand the temper of the people Of this
country; Mexico cannot be the colony Of c
European Monarch.

A.DemOcraticV Version of the Coles County
Massacre.
To the Editor Of tbs 11, cb;caao p Ppst psti

To the Editor Of the Chicago Post.
Most Of the dispatches concerning the
Charleston insurrection are grossly un.
true. There was not the slightest provo
cation. Three days now spent in taking
testimony, shoe plan to murder all the sol-
dieTs in Charleston. The leaders were John
q. 0'Hair. Nelson Wells, John Frazer and
others. About enc hundred implicated,
thirty-seven OF whom are now under az
rest. The ring-leaders escaped. Efforts
are being made in the surrounding coun-
ties to rally rebels, but have failed. They
are believed to have all disbanded and
fed. A body Of 200 was reported in Jas
per yesterday, going South. Eight deaths
have occurred, five Of which were soldiers
one other will die. The soldiers were un-
armed. All the rioters came armed, with
extra guns in wagons. Four additional
prisoners were brought in this morning.
A forsging party went to 0'Hairs this
morning, but could learn nothing Of his
whereabouts. Eden left for Washington
on Monday, on foot. The feeling in this
community is one Of deep and terrible in
dignstion against the Peace demagogues
who are not only believed but known to
be at the bottom Of the late outbreaks.

Bishops had Published a protest IN the
name of tho whole body of Mexican

elaring that the acquisition Of Church
property under the acts of the Liberal
Government, should be protected by the
courts.
In this protest the bishops say that
their condition is worse now than under
the Juartz Government. With other
grievances they mention the fact that
they have no liberty to express their
opinions, the Regency having established
q censorship of the press, thing not
known before. The protest concludes
by communicating the author of the
Regency decree, and all who may yield
il obedience.

Arkansas Is be ,he FirAt.

Arkansas is destined to be frst in the
great work Of recognizing the rebel
States; The first to setits local machinery
in motion, aad TO send members 10 the
National Congress; yet it was not freed
from rebel rule, till few montas silce !
The progress ma le is illustrative Of what
can be done, where there is q viii 70 do /;
and It is also evidence to prove that
the loyal people are not to blame, when
delay occurs.
Asin Tennessee, there was always
strong Union sentiment in Arkansas; the
two States were alike driven into an at
tilude Of hostility to The government, By
reckless politicians, in defiance Of the
well known wishes Of the people; there
fore the work Of reorganization is less
difficult in them, than il would be farther
south. We hail the progress Of our
neigbbors Of Arkansas, with pleasure /;
but feel 4 little chagrined that tboy
should have so far Ouisiripped Tennes-
scans.
The people of that State have now
settled down upon Dr.. Isaac Murphy, as
their candidate for Governor; and there
il no danger that their trust will ever be
betrayed. He did not become Union
man TO "ssve bis property;" but was
true TO bis country from the beginning.
BE represented his county (MOntgom-
eFy) in the Convention which took the
State out of The Union in 1861. lie, like

Yea, ! No--Dr. Murphy's-oast amid

that would have shaken any man who
could be shaken. ALI his best friends
surrounded and entrested him to make
the vote unanimous but he answered
'No--I am STAKEHOLDER, like most Of
you; and tell you that Secession s0iH be
0ls death Of slavery" BE now says seces-
sion has killed Slavery, and acts on that
conviction. The clearness with which,
despite Of prejudice and interest, be fore
Bsw The inevitable result of rebellion,
augurs well for his craftsmanship and
we believe he will prove the man for the
occasion; will be worthy chief Magis-
tFate for regenerated Arkansas.

u1ere EvIdence Of 9 Change.

more ElNkUEAA-S % -. = AAeAh . o
We have frequently had occasion re-
Gently 70 note the great change going on
in the tone of the Conservative" pa
pers Of the North, relative to slavery
and we are half inclined to believe
the party they represent is about to re-
model its tactics, and become anti-sls-
very; and if il does, it viii put TO shame
al original abolitionists, by its violent
denunciations of human bondage"
The shareholders have had foFetaste of
the course of new converts; they have
not forgotten Gen. Butler, who was the
great pillar of the pro-slsvery party in
the North at one time. He has done
them more injury than dozen original
sboTtionisis and the rebels, when they
see tho whole Conservative party as
suming q similar attitude, may well
tremble.
There are few copperheads who viii
not change; whose pride of consistency
will impel them to sacrifice themselves,
however distasteful shat process may
be, and however blighting to the ambi-
iious designs in which they once in
dulged; but, notwithstanding this, there
ere some, who, relying upon their ability
to gain notoriety, at least, will refuse to
become abolitionists. These men will
employ their time, their fortunes and
their arts, in revenging themselves upon
their less intractable associates; for re
venge is slnest IS sweet as gratified
ambition.
Among the late converts, we reckon
the New York Express. That paper, IS
appeared from evidence in court, on mo-
ton by one of the partners TO obtain an
order of sale, once circulated 10000 cop
les daily; but speedily, after having
sold itself to the traitors, it found its
circulation reduced to 1000; and hence
self preservation demanded a change
and in q late number, we have the pre-
liminaries, IS follows:
"All feel that slavery has gone by the
board. Politically, il was dead before
the war began. Physically, it is dead
now, and ghtDot, for one moment, enter
into any discussion relating to the war,
any more than anything else chat ia dead
beyond all hope Of resurrection. The
border state men all see this. Slave
holders in the cotton states are also be-
ginning IN soc and Acknowledge THIS
truth. Nobody needs to be convinced
that both the political and physical pow
er of slavery are over in the United States
We need no argument from Mr.. CAN'T to
assure Us of this fact, nor of the folly of
the south in making the slavery question
pretext for the war War fIom the
very start was more of an abolitionist
than any army of Garrisons and Philip
ses and Gerrit Smiths.
We welcome even such converts to the
cause Of the Union; thOugh,we do not |
put a very high estimate upon their
motives. They simply bow to the mag
esty Of the people; and do it from necea-
sity, rather than choice.
