I'll is said, and that truly, hat "poli-
tics makes strange bedfellows." Twelve
months ago the C%Opperheads in this Ter
ritory were denouncing every soldier of
the Union as a "Lincoln hireling,' and
such ether abusive epithets as they could
find in their vocabulary /; at the same
time n Lieut.. Seaton, a member of the
Nebraska First, was ~denouncing them
and that with a good deal of "vim," as
traitors, &c. At the Territorial Snake
Show, held in this city on the 2lst inst.
these same Copperheads placed this same
Lieut.. Seaton in nomination for the office
of Territorial Auditor. We could ex.
pect nothing else from the Cops, as their
only chance for success is to "hOney''
the soldiers, whose utter contempt they
have so we'll earned but we are at d
loss TO understand what has wrought
sufficient change in the views of Lieut..
Sealon toward this party as to enable
him to accept (Which he has not yet
done a nomination at their hands. =
PlattsmOuH Herald, Sept. 9th.
This is their style" everywhere. This
Lieut.. Seaton was not consulted in this
nomination, but put on, without his cOn-
sent, to catch Union votes. We have
information, beside the above, which
makes US almost certain that be will de-
cline this nomination.
The same game is attempted to be
played off, secret ly, in this County. Can
didates Welcome forth-urged by parties
who dare not show their hand-not with
the hope, on the part of the secret work
ers, for their election, but for the sake
of distracting the Union party; to create
confusion during which they will attempt
to steal Union principles enough to DIS.
guise themselves, and cover their copper
heads. How anyone, especially a SOL
der, can lend himself to such a scheme,
surpasses our conception. All such should
be spotted. The Union party is better
