COpperhedd Loyalty.

1t is decidedly amusing to witness the
fcrvid loyalty of the copperhead press in
these latter days. After doing their ut
most, during a four years war, to destroy
the government and reinstate slave OIL
igarthy, they come round now and soft
soap the President and slobbcr over the
soldiers, pretending to be the Union party
of the country. Well, we are glad to see
repentance even at the eleventh hour, for
"-Uhie the lamp holds out to burn,
The tileSt sinner may return
But il The copperhead leaders suppose the
creluity of tie people equal to their AFRO
gance III this matter, we think they will
b. Greatly mistaken. The conversion of
the coppcrhead party was too sudden; the
people mistrust the sincerity of those men
who only one short year ago, ip National
Convention assembled, resolved the war
for the Union a failure" and "demand-
ed immediate efforts for a cessation of hos
tilitics that declared that "the Con-
stitution itselfhad been disregardedi in every
part, and public liberty and private right
alike trodden down" No, the people
want to see works meet for repentance
first, for by their fruits shall ye know
them.

" The WHitc Mans COuntrN.'

There has been anv amount of twaddle
by the democracy of late about this being
"a white mans government etc. i'm
plying what one OF their infamous champi-
ons once avowed, "that the black race
ha, no rights that the white man is bound
to respect" This same party has also
lately discovered that President johnson is
an exponent of their ideas; and in one
breath they praise his sagacity and con-
ciliatory conduct towards traitors, and in
the next they curse the abOlitiOnists and
republicans. All right but what will
the coppers say to the Presidents last
speech? a regiment of colored soldiers
called on him the other day and he spoke
kindly to them; and among other things
he said: "This is your country as well
as any body else's country" If the Pres
ident sticks to that sentiment there is an
impossible gulf fixed between him and the
modern democracy, and they must throw
him overheard; for if there is any impla-
cable hatred in this world, it is that of a
white copperhead or traitor towards a
colored loyal man; and the more igno-
rant and degraded the white, the more
intense the hate of the " Niger"

The Societies.

We noticed the meeting of the HiStori-
cal Society in our last paper. We find
in the Montpelier papers brief accounts of
the meetings of the other societies.
The Bible society held an interesting
meeting at the Brick church, on Wednes-
day; the audience was large, and ably
presided over by Gov. Dillingham; The
Trcasurcr's Report showed that the amount
collected during the year was S4,9S3.74,
to which may be added money since col
lected, making the entire amount over five
thousand dollars, of which amount So
900 has been given to the American Bible
Society, while the legacies, &C., sent from
this State to the Parent Society increases
the amount credited to the Vermont Soci-
ETY. to -, 2G175. The address was de-
livered by Rev. DIR. Tuttle, Secretary of
the American Bible Society.
The Colonization Society had an ami
versary meeting, on Thursday evening,
and an able address was pronounced by
Rev. VIM. II. Lord The Freeman thinks,
from the little favor the anniversary SEEM
ed to meet with, that the community gen.
orally considered the thing about played
out"
The Vermont Medical Society held its
fifty-fifth anniversary at Montpelier, on
Wednesday and Thursday of last week.
The meeting was one of great interest to
the medical profession, and several most
instructive papers were read.

THE MILITIA LAw.-It is quite appa-
rent that our present militia law will he
repealed in toto. or very essentially modi
fled in its details and practical workings
In the Senate. Mr. Hobart. of Chittenden
county, has introduced a bill repeating the
law, and providing for the sale of the I'M
necessary militia property belonging to the
State In the House, Mr. Nicholson, of
Walingford. has thrown in a bill to very
essentially modify the law, without ab>o-
lutelv repeating it. Mr.. Nicholson will.
doubtless. claim for his bill that it Is adapt
ed to relieve the State from the burden
which has so generally inspired opposition
to the law and it looks like consider
ate plan to obviatc the evils complained
of without resort to radical measures
leaving the principles of the law undisturb-
ed. so that all its valuable features are
within reach for Use upon emergency. and
at the same time the burIenSome features
are suspended. No doubt, much discus
sion will be had upon this bill. and we
shall be greatly disappointed if the talent
ed and witty author fails to take good care
of it, and TO see that his bantling is prop
erly dressed up" and made presentable
to the wisdom and virtue of the State.

Defense of the Preside,at.--His PO-
sitiOn on the Suffrage Question.

While some good men think they have
occasion to mistrust the judgment, at least,
of President johnson, in his plans for the
reconstruction of the Rebellious States,
others Of his own party and politics en-
dorse him fully Rev. Henry Ward Beech
er took occasion, last Sabbath evening,
to define his views as corresponding with
those OF President johnson. This was
doubtless done on account of the slashing
articles that have appeared in the indie
dcndent of late-a paper that some peO-
pie persist in believing Mr.. Beecher edits.
One George l.. Stearns, of Boston, has
published what he terms a recent CONVEX
sation between the President and himself
The document is important especially as
it relates to the subject Of universal sut-
tra"c. The President makes the import
ant admission that, as citizen of Tennes-
see, he should - try to introduce negro
suffrage gradually" He would first give
it to those who had served in the army.
Next he would accord it to those who
could read and write. And finally, he
would give it to all, whether they had the
two first qualifications or not, provided
they owned $500 to $3.50 worth of prop
erty. His objection, then, is not to ne
gro suffrage, but the giving to all negroes
the right to vote now His fear is that
they would breed war of races: but he,
nevertheless, is in favor of making be-
ginning, and one which would gradually
be>tow the franchise upon all the colored
frcemcn who should earn it by the acqui-
sition of knowledge or property.
As President Johnson knew this con-
verSation between himself and Mr.. Stearns
was to be made public, and has certified
to its correctness by letter in his own
hand, it is quite important; and not only
gives new hope 10 the Union party at the
North, but will thoroughly test the sim
ccrity Of the Democracy in their newborn
enthusiasm for the administration. We
shall soon see if they are honest in their
protestations of loyalty.

Letter from MONTPELIER.
MONTPELIER. Oct. "a 1865.

MONTPELIER, Oct. "a, 1865.
Mr.. EDITOR The two Houses have
had their usual adjournment, and ten o'clock
this morning found the majority of the
members in their seats, ready for business.
But, as it takes them one day to get over
going home and get settled here, very little
has been done by way of making laws
Some bills have been introduced, but
mostly incorporative and tax bills which
were referred to their various committees.
Two bills, amending the general statutes,
were introduced. l pen the titles of the
bills as they were introduced:
Mr. Thomas, Of Arlington-An act to
incorporate the Red Mountain manufacture
ing company.
Mr.. Webster, of Charleston act
amendatory Section of chapter one of
the General Statutes.
Mr.. Wheaton, of Pittsfor1-An act to
incorporate the Pittsford Marble Compa-
ny.
Mr.. Hebard, of Chelsea-An act law
ing tax on Orange county.
Mr. Hebard, of Chelsea-An act in ad-
dition to, and ameding of, chapter 80 of
General Statutes in relation to process.
The famous dog bill, which was intro
duced, last week, in the House, died this
afternoon, through the hands of the COM
mittee, who reported unfavorahly in its
behalf SO once more the dogs are easy
until some other dog member shall again
summon courage to bring them to justice.
A few bills have passed the House, and
only need the concurrence of the Senate
to make them laws. but as you will receive
them as soon as the Senate concurs i'm their
passage, it is unnecessary for me to give
them here, excepting, perhaps, one con-
corning Vermont Asylum for Insane.
On Friday last, the committee, who
were appointed on so much of the Gov
ernor's Message rs related to an Asylum
for Deaf, Dumb and Blind, reported bill
entitled " An act to amend chapter 20,
section So, Of the General Statutes, relat-
ing to compensation to be allowed Yer
mont Asylum for Insane and the same
passed the House, to-day. and will. I'M
doubleday, pass the Senate without amend
ment

of St. Johnsbury. on Monday of last week.
authorizing the Governor to appoint two
commissioners to consider the subject of
restoration of sea fish to the Connecticut
river and its tributaries. &c. passed both
Senate and House. to-day
In the Senate, much the same has been
done as in the HouSc-ntroducinr and
passing few bills of little Importance.
The business of the session does not vet
seem to he commenced in earnest. but pre-
sumo this week will find us somewhat in
the midst of work AT the rate we have
dispatched business thus far, predict q

G. The New-York Tribune says that
in his forthcoming message the President
fully recognizes the manhood Of the ne
gro; but would qualify and limit his right
of suffrage by education or property :;
when proved to be possessed of either of
these, Mr.. johnson thinks he ought to be
allowed to vote. We think large ma
jority of the party that elected the Presi-
dent will agree with him if these are his
sentiments. We believe Secretary Welles
was not far from right when he telegraph
ed the Hartford Press Gin answer to a scan
dial issued against him) that he favored in
telligence, not color, as qualification of
suffrage.
