oooylng tne loeh II is the only logical po-
s1Slou tor coppefhead to take. Pretending
to be IN 1nEor OF the Union and the prosecu-
tion OF Ing "af' anu NJ tne same time oppo-
sisg every var measure, and finding tault
WIN every step taken BY. the Government,
ls most contemplate attitude for party
10 assume. 10 90 conaistent man must be
tor one thing or the Other He must either
advocate the prosecution OF the war or OPP
pore It. The cops have been trying to ride
both horses, but Is they are moving In op-
posate darecuons It Is pretty difficult feat
In equestr1anlsm:
Decided opposition to the further prose-
cutiou Of the war;" Is posl4on that every
body can understand. It makes square,
sharp issue. When the COPS come out
openly on that ground, there VIII no longer
be any necessity for orked-tongued plat
forms, for suhterfuge, for hypocrisy, for
looking one way and rowing another. The
"Dcmocratic party" North will then be In
open sympathy md standing on the same
platform with the democratic purity" South.
Both Will be In favor Of a disunion peace
both In favor Of the acknowledgment Of
coniederate Independence both in favor Of
"letting the Union elide;;" both in favor of
erecting on the ruins OF the Union an oil
garcly, the chief corner stone Of which WILL
be human slavery.
The cops appear greatly puzzled about
whom to nominate for President and Vice
President But there need be no trouble on
that score. As they are decidedly opposed to
the further prosecution OF the war" they
should have representative men for candi.
dafef. FOR President, Val1andigham is their

dacy wonld suftnse the souls Of the disunion

THE COPPERBEAD CONVENTION.
Next to the Cleveland Convention, the
Springfield Copperhead Convention was the
