lst. The "Coppefheadsv have opposed
the Government in this war. To his we
answer that The Dem ocratic partv have
Euot been antagonistic to the Government-
they have merely opposed the policy of
changing the war for The Union into a
crusade for the uncertain experiment OF
negro emancipation. II is the Abolition
party who have "prelonged the war by
Ilcrealng division in the Northn So long
a. the war was Tor the Union. and the

when stswas aseensined that the obiecl
of the war was 10 obtain the balance of
power through negro suffrage, The Demo-
Gratis did protest against any further waste
OF blood and treasure than was sufficient

3D.. II is the Abolition party who have
'.caused the unnecessary sacrifice Of thou
sands of lives aadthe expenditure pf hun-
dreds OF millions Of dolfafs,' by retaining
in command, after repeated failures, men
without either military experience or good
chaIacter-.men whose sole end and aim
was TO prove that the negro was equal as

" hite man; whose efforts were only fer
the good OF the, negro and the filling of
their own pockets with the money wrung
from onr almost bankrupt people.
Sd. The ''Copperheads" have abused
and viIIIfied Union men In our public
thoroug ghfares. Very truly. Why should
they not abuse cowardly, blood thirsty
fanatics who always made war speeches
and savage threats, but who could never
be induced 10 go and fgkt for The cause

sidered that when they had made Trip or

4lh "Copperb eadsn have left churches
because ministers prayed for the Union. -
This we deny. Democrats have deem driv
Ell from their accustomed places OF wor-
ship by so called ministers of The gospel, [
who, forgetting the sacred injunction of
the meek and lowly SaViour-''Judge not,

of biieTesI invectiVe all those who dared /
10 say that the Union as it was, without
bioodsbed, is better than The Union as lhe
AboIilionisis intend to make it, with the
slaughter of our best and bravest.
5lb. ''Coppefheads" have talked, acted !
and voted against our brave soldiers and
sailors. Some members of the Democrat
ic party voted against the policy OF allow 7
iEg the soldiers to vote, because they
