A MOVING SPECTACLE.

The most amusing spectacle to be
Witnessed at this time is the affection
displayed by the Copperhead fugle-
men for returned soldiers. They
embrace them, caress them and t2!ll
to them of sour army" and the vic
tories achieved by the va,or of sour
men,"
We have n distinct recollec OF
hearing these very men, not two
years ago dcnounce these very sol
diers as "pimps," and "rufllans," and
"hirelings." We remember distinct
ly, hearing these same men d-n
those sa12 soldiers in as good, round
terms as the English language affords.
We rcmemember further, their oppo-
sition to drafting men TO aid thcss
soldiers in tho work they were accom-,
plishing, and moreover, we Yemem.
ber that they opposed with all the
power they had, all laws to raise mon
ey to pay them. One bright and
shining light of the Copperhead
persuasion of this county opposed
bitterly the law making greesbaeks
legal tender, knowing that Treasury
notes we're the only currency the
Iiovcrament possessed with which &c
pay the soldiers, a6d that without
such cnsctnents as he Was opposing
they would deprcciate in value, anc
leave the soldier end his family a
the Gercy Of the wopey shark.
AL these things we remember anC
more. We remember when ever,

Iperhead localities in Hancocll--whel

PRESIDENT JoIINsoN.

The Copperheads have fallen in
love with President johnson. We
rejoice thereat. Generally speaking,
it is safe for Union man to oppose
on sight anything or anybody that q
Copperhead approves, without exam
ination or inquiry. Their course fol-
the last four years has been so VII
lainous, so perfectly treacherous, &C
cowardly mean--they have so shufiied
and twisted---false to both sides and
true to nciteer, that an honest man
naturally takes the shape of opposi-
tion the moment he meets one. But
we waive all that, aud agree with
them in commencing President John
son. He is doing his duty-and do
ing it well. In hanging the conspir-
ators he displayed wisdom and firm
ness, and he will undoubtedly do tue
same as to the hangirg of JEFF. Davis.
He hates slavery, he hates arristoc
racy, particularly the kind they have
soutbward; he is doing all in his
power to destroy both.
We rejoice at the cvideaees of i'm
provement our coppery brethren are
oLo-inS. Let tuem continue titus TO
progress for year or two and the
ssell they came out of the war With
will be modified muchly.
The Hancock Jeffersonian. [volume] (Findlay, Ohio) 1857-1870, 1865-07-28

The Tribune's special says We
arc able TO state by authority that
the families Of JEFF. Davis and c. c..
Clay retained eminent legal advisers
rs early as the middle Of May last, to
appear whenever the G0verlment
shall think it proper to order the tri-
al of those state prisoners. Their
counsel is agenueman OF whose prom
inenee at the bar there will no ques-
tion when it is thought proper to an
nounce bis name. Any reports,
therefore, which appear from time to
time in different newspapers, as to
efforts made in behalf OF the prisoners
by persons representing themselves
as their counsel, or engaged in theiI
legal service, may be safely regarded
as unauthorized by the parties chief
| ly concerned.

LOOK AT IT.

A party that can show only broker
promises and false prophecies in tn
past, must have cheek of brass Il
ask the people to intrust the afiairs o
Government in its hands. The Cop
peaheads stand exactly in this posi-
ton. What have been the prophe
cies Look at the record.
1. That the South could never ib'
conquered.
The South is conquered.
2. That the Emancipation Procla
nation would prolong the war, and
make the triumph of the South Cor
tain.
Without il the war would not Bow
be ended, and Southern men &C.

blow their Cause received.
8. That the arming OF negroes
would be fatal TO our success.
The addition of 1000 negroes to
the military power of the Govern
ment turned the scale in our favor,
and allowed 100000 white men to
stay at home.

copperhead owns, and is sought after

5. That the re- election of Abral. am

years.
1t closed it in six months.
6. That the high toned Southern
Chiyalry would meyer submit to Fed

They are crawling like whipped
dogs at the feet of Federal authori
ties, begging for pardon.
And 80 forth. The only prophecy
they eyer made that was fulfilled was
that Abraham Lincoln would not 1--we

The satensity Of feeling manifested
by the rebels in the United States
and Canada over the execution OF
Mrs. SaEratt is notion account of her
being a woman, but on account Of her
being one OF the "Southern aEsSo-
cracy." For such poor devils as
Payne, Atzeroit and Harold, who
were mere tools and hired assassins,
they have nothing to say, but Mrs,
Surratt was one of the female "esiy-
airy" and the rope by which she
was hung raised buster on the neck
