Go back to The summer aud fal! Of ga
neu the Copperheads were trying their
best to create u disturbance -crganizlng,
ar!ning, conspiring against the Govern
ment. Had the assassination OF the P-esi-
dent, the Cabinet and General Grant &C.
CURED st that time and given lnomen-
tsry advantage to the Ccn.ederates, would
there not have been laughter in Richmond
and sinister twinkle in the eye Of every
Northern Copperhead! Would there not
have been joy in Golden Circlee2
No man was ever more abused CT hated
than Mr.. Lincoln. The key note came
from Richmond. But the rebels we.o most
seconded by their Northern allies.
And tad his murder been Of the smallest
to the rebellion or the remnant
OF the old Democratic party. it would have
given great satisfaction and probably been
openly applauded.
Bearing this il lniEd remembering that
this is the spirit Of the Copperhea1s-and
they do 20. change much-c4rts;niy not
for the better-:t will be- well for ts now to
notice that they are lahoring with their
us'sal craft, under false garb Of loyalty.

Having failed to destroy the government
by war-hnving failed to accomplish any

But it cannot win. The cloven foot appears

lie to all their crafty talk. The friends of
the Union have but one course to pursue,
aud we feel confident they will follow it
to the end. They will adhere to
the Adm;nietration-they will stand by
President johnson as they stood by Presi-
dent Lincoln-lift up his hands aud make
him strong. They will not be divided by
the negro or any other question, if wise.
Tho important and exciting questions
which are to be decided during the next
year or two. are not likely tn receive eny
very valuable calculation from the Cop

The great puccess Of the 7-30 Loan must

powerful evidencesof tho strength OF the
United States Government, and Of Its

the Secretary Of the Treasury might have
negotiated the remainder Of his loans at
six per cent. interest instead OF 7-3o, but
20 much valuable time would necessarily
have been lost In popular:zing a new loaa
