The New Copperhead Plan.

The Cleveland Herald gives the & flowing
wc hear that the leaders Of the democratic
party OF Ohio have, within q very few days,
had q heightened night session.-.pcrtaps reach,
ing into the morning at Cincinnati. Mr..
Pendleton was ut this caucus-so we hear.-s0
was Vallandigham. The latter gentleman was
the controlling spirit, and he evidently came to
the consultation with the programme, we'll d.
gcsted, which he presented In speech to the
conclave.
The spirit and burden of his address was to
this effect: There are eleven States which,
with slavery or without slavery. are firmly
planted ON the doctrine of State Rights. That
issue has not been settled by this war; II Is yet
to be fought for, and on that line the deIn0c-
racy must rally and must fight. Vnllandig-
ham counseled extreme tenderness on the part
of tho democracy towards Mr.. johnson, and
cited his proclamation re organizing North
Carolina under a military Governor, leaving
the question of negro suffrage to the voters OF
that State, rs a step in the right direction upon
the doctrine which is proposed to be the basis
Of the party. Vallandigham said that demo
sympathy to Mr.. johnson, for 1t was probable,
by 50 doing, the President would prove rs rad.
ical upon State Rights rs they could wish.
Vallandigham also advised that the war upon
Stanton be rs bitter and persistent rs possible,
to the widening of the breach between Gen.
Sherman and the Secretary Of War, for, rs mp.
pearsnccs now indicated, Gen. Sherman would
be the available candidate In the next Prcsiden
tial CANVASS.
The caucus accc opted the views of Vallan.
dgham, and endorsed his sentiments heartily.
So IL may be considered settled rs to the future
policy Of tn, Ohio democracy.

Harmony.

Tho /" Democratic" party arc waiting for
something to turn up. Like Mr.. Oldbuck
they are very busy calculating chances.
They would like 10 ''turn over now leaf, !"
IL anything can be made by is; but, rs Mr..
Oldbuck says, "thcrc's no principle involved
in wearing dirty shirt, and the old 'un
seems moro like friend, kinder" Since the
administration Of Mr.. johnson commenced
they have changed the outside, leaving the
whited sepulchre within. They pretend u
support for the administration. provided al
ways that the President shall repudiato the
principles upon which he was elected, and
receive the enemies of the Republic back to
favor, but they have certainly mistaken
their man." Their press is very busy in
trying to make it appear that there is d.
vision in the Union Party, relative to the
suffrage question, and that the reconstruction
policy of the President is not endorsed by
his party. They are very like the man who
kicks against the pricks.
The Union party unequivocally endorses
that reconstruction policy just so far rs the
President himself endorses it. The one Oh.
ject before the loyal people is to provide
against any possible re-establishment ofslav-
cry in any form, or Of restoring topower any
of its influences. The President has wisely
chosen to give the people of tho rebel states
an opportunity to prove their loyalty by
themselves adopting such measures Of suff-
rage rs shall secure that end but if they
fail to make that proof and give that secur-
ity. they must remember, as President John
son said to the South Carolinian, that there
is Congress with whom the matter of res.
toration rests, and who have the power to
admit or reject their representatives.
The party is q unit in demanding that
those states which shall make no provision
whatever for universal suffrage not based on
color or condition, shall be denied admission
to Congress. and those views are the views
of the President. The Union party do not
demand that the negro shall be Immediately
allowed to vote; but they do ask that the
principle of common law, shall here be up
piled which interprets that whenever grant
is made, facilities for the enjoyment of that
grant are always inferred; that freedom hav.
ing been given to those heretofore slaves, cv.
erything necessary to the enjoyment of their
freedom is included in the grant; that the
government having been preserved by untold
sacrifices of blood and treasure shall have
every security for the future necessary for its
quiet and stability, and decentralization and
the party which gave it power are in perfect
harmony.

GES. SHERMAN on THE PRESIDENCY. Our
metallic brethren have been wistfully look
ing forward for some available man to " trrn
up" out Of thi, war, behind whose coat-tails
they could ride into power. Sherman faur
pas with Johnston seemed god-send to these
Micawbe,s, and they eagerly caught ut the
idea that no was their Pharaoh who was to
reverse the old Red Sa doctrine, and re en-
slave the lsrp,ites. But Sherman has man
ifestcd no particular leaning towards these
wooings, but in recent speech TINS breaks
the slate:
1t had been surmised he had political as.
.piratious That was great mistake. He
would not accept the Office Of President were
il offered to him to day. He could do better.
Twenty Eve thousand dollars n year was no
induce.ncnt for him to assume the duties and
responsibilities of the Presidency He would
prefer to retain the military position he now
holds. He was quite satisfied with the rep.
utation no had gained in it, and he intended
10 take care Off. The Presidency had well
nigh killed every military man that had med
died with it, and he had no purpose or desire
to have anything to do with it. And 1t had
been said he could not favor his friend Cox
here for the civil Office for which he Is now
a candidate. Here, again, he had been mis-.
understood. What he did say was, that he
wondered that the General would exchange
a Major. Generalship for the place Of Gov.
nor Of Ohio. But hc supposed that possibly
Gen. Cox considered it was giving up an
uncertainty fur certainty. For himself he
would not have the Office IL he could, for two
wears or FIVE thousand years.
