THE REFORMED AND THE IN
CORRIGIBLE.

There need be no confusion as to the
parties for legitimate political conversion
during this campaign. Our position last
Fall was tolerably well understood. We
believed and insisted that those who voted
for George B. Mcclellan substantially
acted for the encouragement Of the rebels.
But some did not know what they were
doing. These have a right to repent;
ought to be considered as of the deluded
of the past, the mistaken (gravely mis-
taken. indeed y, and entitled to the liberty
of political redemption to speak.
Now, no n supposes that Tod Robinson
or Tom Williams are within the pale OF
hope. But many a man who BY preju-
dice was kept from hearing or duly on
sidering the truth political at the last
campaign has been since instructed by
events. over the reporting OF which to the
entire public the copperhead leaders had
no control. A few months have elapsed,
during which there has been a lull Of
partizan passion while tremendous facts
of history lave shown up to the stars. 1t
can not-for instance-be now denied that
the great Conspiracy for Rebellion IN the
North, TO be led on by Confederate army
officers, was to have had its initiatory and
fearfully bloody beginning at Chicago
during the session of the so-called Demo-
cratic Convention. The Copperhead party
hen and there pronounced the war a
:. failure" Well, it is tolerably clear that
somebody has won the stakes, and as
nearly evident that the victors are none
other than the men Of the Union hosts.
These are great eye openers to the hitherto
uninstructed rank and file of the Copper.
head party. They who have an! sincerity
Of purpose whatsoever must by these dis
closures alone be melted to regret their
utilization with abettors Of Treason and
desire communion henceforth with the ap-
proved friends Of the Government and the
Institutions of Freedom. Let such as these
come forward boldly to the altar seats in
the Union ward Clubs. But the known
,f-all men traitors in Storey county, the
members of the Knights Of the Golden
Circle, the Marshals and subordinate
managers Of the Broom Rangers-be they
excluded as they are accursed. And let
them make up the Copperhead party Of
the canvas. That designation no longer
embraces over 1000 voters or citizens Of
Storey county. WI are convinced that
fully one-half the Cop. vote oflast Autumn
would now, if the true sentiment was got
at, be found arrayed for unqualified
loyalty and Unionism. Therefore, when
structures are now made on Cops" we
do not consider-nor need any one else
hat all the persons of last years delusion

fifty Democrats (call 'em by a compare

ing to conceal from general public notice
the fact Of wholesale defections from their
wretched cause. They pirate of the un-
broken integrity Of their party; and they
are the ones who are going about and
limiting of a big registration of their kind
at the last day. We agree with them on
his point. There will be a big registry roll
IF their party turn up on the last day
