MORNING LEADER.
Political.

Z. John r. Eden, an intense copperhead,
has been renominated for Congress in the
| 7th Illinois district.
I The National Republican Congressional
Committee is hard at wooil in Washington
shaping matters for the coming Presiden-
tial campaign.
. The Democratic party has endeavored,
says the Philadelphia Press, and in some
States succeeded, 10 place our soldiers ona
level with convicts, by DISTINGUISHING
them.
The COpperhead Congressional Commit
tee has recently sent out TO the people of
that persuasion 10000 copics of ID W
VOORHEES, speech, and about 5000 copies Of
the speech Of the Hon. A. Long
Fourteen delegates to the Chicago con-
vention have arrived from Louisiana; 50
the Democrats viii have to meet the re-
construction question at the outset, cspec-
ially as the delegates are all War Demo
Gratis and go for Mcclellan.
I Ex-President James Buchanan is rusti-
eating at Bedford Springs, Pa, in company
with well kn Jwn secessionist named Col.
.Prime,-who swung his hat and hurrihed
when it was reported that Washington
had been captured by the rebels.
The New York Herald says that ex-
President Buchanan is writing letters urg-
ing the nomination of Judge Samuel Nell
son for President, and Mr.. Voorhees,, Of
Indiana, as Yice-President at the Chicago
Convention.
The Democratic party in New York
city, if we may rely upon the Herald, is
divided into four hostile cliques, viz. the
Tammany faction; the Mozart faction
the Young Coon faction, split from
Mozart against the Woods and the Me
Kean faction, represented by Mayor Gun
ther.
The Union nominee for Congress in the
9TH Congressional District Of Indiana
nominated at Greencastle, Wednesday, is
Colonel Henry d. Washburne, of the 18th
Indiana Regiment. He is brave and
slziIlf0l officer, popular speaker, and viii
give Dan. Voorhees, a close race.
According to the Cincinnati Times an
important political movement has. been
gong on for some time past to withdraw
Fremont from the canvass and replace him
by General Butler. The Times is of the
opinion that Butler would prove to be a
far stronger candidate than Fremont with
the radicals OF the Republican party, and
that his candidature would seriously en-
barrass Mr.. Lincoln.
The New York Journal Of Commerce,
quoting the oft-repeated commonplace,
that, 'the rebellion is on its last legs,
asks peevishly how many legs the rebell-
| ion has got. The Chicago Tribune ans
wers, that 'there is leg in Ohio called
Vallandigham, one in Chicago called the
Times, two in New York, the Journal of
Commerce and World, and one in Cincin-
matt, the Enquirer besides land it might
| have included one in Detroit the Free
Press, two very lame legs at Richmond
and Atlanta The Northern legs are the
/ most serviceable.
