A GREAT CONSPIRACY DIsCOvERED-AND NO
MrsrAKE.-Don't start reader, at this terrific
caption, it won't hurt you-that is, the Conspir-
acy won't The fussy little fedgling who pre-
sides over the editorial columns of the Oregoni-
an, must, from the ridiculous figure he cnts
in his balderdash ''leaders," daily doled out to
the patrons of that sheet, tremble in his dimin-
utive boots at the bare thought of COpperhead.
He seems to be afflicted with some dreadful hal
Iueination of the mind perhaps it is Cooper
head on the brain, as he writes about nothing
but Copperheads, their plans and desperate in
tentions against the 'best government on earth,
/ = the great Abolition Union-P Purity Party of
no-principles. Wonder if be don't see the ras
cally Copperheads stealing dead march on him
every night in some hideous dream? The very
latest from his pen about the Copperheads is
that they ate the ''unconqueted and nnconquer-
able Of the North what an admission from
terrified ,o-called Unionisu]-nnd that their
great design is to fuse with the ex-rebels of the
South and get possession qf the Government again!
Shades Of jefferson, and of all the great states
men that founded the republic! look down 1pch
~; nd
speed. Where is there Democrat in all this
broad laud that is not in favor, openly and
AboVe-boArd, ofjnst such a combination. Yes,
every true-hearted Democrat is anxious to hail
the advent of such grand old fusion as that
wouldbe. Then, we would have the old Union
AgaIn--the old government bf power and wealth
with all its countless blessings, instead of the
corrupt, dcspotc, half-made-up shoddy concern
we have lived under for the past four years
Inen, we wouIu nave law ana order all over the
country, North and South, instead of civil wars,
lawlessness, riots and confusion. With such a
combination, the Constitution of the United
States would be the guiding star. None of its
provisions would be disregarded and set at
naught; all its powers would be equitably en-
forced, and Its guarantees of liberty to the cit-
zen within the pale of the laws, would be cheer
fully youchsafed. The States would have all
:he rights, not delegated, again to themselves,
and that is nll they could desire. The general
government would have all its old Constitution
al powers-no more no less; the States would
have theirs, and all would move along so har-
moniously and with such little burtheu that the
people, as ID days cote by, would scarcely feel
that they had government. Every Democrat,
as we'll as every Republican who has the well
fare of the country at heart, and who cares any
thing for constitutional liberty, should sigh for
an fusion or combination that would build up
again the grand old republic erected nearly a
century ago by Madison, jefferson and their pa
triot co-laborers. Who would not fuse for such
n noble purpose? All would except those who
love dospotisms better than they do wise be-
ne6cent and free republics, and who would
rather be hereditary boudsmen at the footstCo
of kingly power, than freemen. Yesi let Che fu.
sion 90 on until the Union of the Constitution i,
firmly implanted in the hearts of the people
not Notification, not Secession, not people
pinioned together BY the power of the bayonet
but Union in the legitimate sense Of the term -
We might hope that the better portion Of ever
the radical abolition party would combine will
democrats to restore such government. Pres
ident Johnson says the people of the Soutl
"must be trusted with their State governments
And how is it possible ever to have Republic
unless-they ATE trasted7 There is no other wa,
everybody mast know. Then why not shak
hands with the late rebels, forgive and forge
what is passed, and set earnestly about restor
ing the Union. Let everybody fuse that viii
discard sectional animosites and lend helpin
hand in the work Of restoration. This is De
mocrocy-this is UDiouism.
But there is another cOmbination-a real Con
= spiracy, to overthrow the government OF ou
foIefathers and erect one in its stead with a.
Its powers vested in the hands of a few bond
holders and capitalists, who are notoriously hos
tile to our republican form of government. Ste
by step this combination with its covert, insd
Gus wiles has torn down the old republica
structure and sought to fasten upon the peopl
other principles and other theories wholly a va
rance with our system. These consprator
have had possession of the government for som
time past, and they are trying every earthly eI
pedient to keep it in their possession; but mo-
outstanding their persistent labors and treact
cry, the government is gradually slipping froI
their grasp into the hands Of its friends and pre-
tectors, the sturdy, invincible Democracy. Th
last bope Of the Abolition bond holding Cor
spirators Is that they may effect a fusion wit
the Negroes Of the South and with their aid kee
control Of the government. They hope by sc
curing the negro the right Of suffrage, to ever
tually so degrade our popular ballot system as
make their cherished theory Of forming a dei
Potic government, under the supreme control
privileged class, an easy triumph. They car
no more for the welfare Of the Negro than the
do for the beasts of the field, and only Assum
70 curry fAvor with him in order that they ma
uss him 10 their work Of overthrowing the gov
ernnent and erecting ore Of arbitrary powel
fashioned after their own hideons plan.
Il becomes The duty Of the Democrats of II
country, and all others Of whatever party, thu
will combine With them, TO work INCREASINGLY
frdstrate. the desfgns-'of these piratol
against, what should be dear to sysryyAnsr
