The Late Rebellion and It's Horrible De-
velopments-Complicit Therein OF tho
New York copperhcad Leaders.
The copperhead leaders of the New York de-
mocracy since the loss of their stock in trade,
with JEFF. Davis and his Southern confederacy,
have been and are industriously advertising
themselves in the market for the management
Of the administration of candy johnson"
They are hungry. They are ready to strike a
bargain on accommodating terms. They still
continue their antediluvian gibberish of State
rights and democratic principles; but they are
prepared to support any measures Of the ad-
ministration for q passport into the kitchen.
They claim, in fact, a sort of hereditary right
to manage the administration of Andrew John
son, inssmuch as, like Breckinridge, Howell
Cobb, Jake Thompson and jeff Davis, he be-
longed to the democratic party before the
war. A very brief statement of facts, how
ever, will serve to show that these copperhead
leaders of the Northern democracy should have
no more authority in the reorganization of our
political affairs than the rebel leaders in the
South.
With the outbreak Of the rebellion there was
grand uprising Of all parties in the loyal
States in support of the cause of the Union.
During the first year Of the war the masses of
the Northern democracy appeared to be alb
sorbed in the war party of the administration.
But in 1862, in consequence of the terrible dis
asters of General Mcclellan, the public mind
became unsettled, and the Northern democracy
boldly took the field against Mr.. Lincoln's ad-
ministratiOn, on the platform o." ga more vigor-
GUS prosecution of the war;" On this platform
they elected Horatio Seymour, Governor of New
these instructions President Lincoln removed
General Mcclellan and proceeded to "a more
vigorous prosecution of the war;" Thus by the
4th Of July, 1868, with the great and important
Union victories of Gettysburg and Vicksburg,
the tables were turned again in favor OF the
administration on the war platform. At this
point the rebel managers at Richmond became
satisfied that their cause was hopeless unless it
could be aided by some powerful diversions in
the North, in the way of revolutionary plots
and conspiracies, and they proceeded to act
accordingly. At this point too, the copper
head leaders of the Northern democracy boldly
took the field in favor of "peace at any price,"
In the loyal State elections which followed,
however, these traitorous peace factionists
were swept aside, as by tornado Of popular
wrath, from Maine to California
These suggestive rebukes from tho people of
for the Northern democracy; but they had
fallen into the hands Of their copperhead lead
ers, and those leaders looked to the restora-
lion, by fair means or by foul, and not to the
Of the old democratic balance of
political power held by slavery in the South.
Their plan was not the subjugation of, but
a capitulation to, JEFF Davis. To this end,
as the Presidential campaign of 1864 ap-
preached, the affiliations of Northern copper
head leaders with Davis and his confederate
rebel managers at Richmond, began to take the
shape of a systematic arrangement of treason
able plots and combinations, enveloping the
North in a terrible network of conspirators, in
cluding gangs of spies, democratic engineers,
election ruffians, land and water pirates, incen-
diaries and assassins. They were supported by
. secret Canadian service fund of some three
millions of dollars, more or less, placed by JefE
Davis in the hands of his confidential fellow
Mississippan, Jake Thompson, whose headquar-
ters, ss paymaster of all these conspirators,
were established at Montreal.
The work accomplished in behalf of JEFF.
Davis through these instrumentalities, will
never be fully known. The "Sons of Liberty"
in the West, the "Knights of the Golden
Circle" the ringlesders OF the New York
riots of July, 1868, the rebel pirates on
the lakes and on the Atlantic seaboard, the St.
Albans and other land robbers, the copperhead
managers of the Chicago Convention and the
managers of various copperhead journals
have doubtless had their payments from
Thompson's "detached service" fund, as we'll as
Sanders, Tucker and Company, and tho New
York phosphorus incendiarics, DR.. Blackburn
and his confederate yellow fever distributors,
and Booth and his horrible gang of hired mur-
derers. The developments made lead irresistibly
to this conclusion. We remember, too, that o
short time ago there was rabid ire-eating
rebel paper down South, known as the Rich
mond Enquirer, and that in view Of the Pro-
phet's Paradise of Southern confederacy, that
paper advocated any expedient, even to
the short cut of assassination. That paper
has collapsed with Jod. Davis; but its most
venomous rebel are-eating editor, we nnd, is ss
coolly transferred to the editorial work of q
New York rebel Journal as If since its first
number he had been the real manager of the
concern. From these facts We cannot avoid
