~ A Copperhesd of this city who occu-
pies rather q prominent position in the
party-to be frank, we refer to the "Mag-
ficent''-declares it a his opinion that
the ELECTION frauds at Baltimore, have
been greatly exaggerated by the Abolition
lists, and Ferry and Donohue are undoubt-
edly victims of Republican malignity and
persecution ~ Thus does this man
seek to excuse the villainous crime in
question. To what depths OF degradation
will not . Copperhead stoop? This &C.
cursed fraud upon the soldiers' vote 10 con-
demned by no Copperhead Journal, nor by
any Of the prominent flights, Of the party.
In fact they endorse and uphold 1t, and
only regret it did not succeed! Voters,
will you make friends with such villains,
Or act with them in any manner! They
are beneath the notice OF honest men,
Therefore show your hatred of their ras-
cality by voting agsin4t their tickle. next
Tuesday.
