How the Oopperhead Press Complimented
President johnson few Months a 20.

How the Copperhead Press Complimented
President Johnson a few Months a 20.
Now that the Copperhead papers are W.
ing with each other in complimenting Pres
ldent johnson on account of his Endorsement
of Gov. Sharkey's militia policy in Missis-
sippi, ii is curious to see what they had to
say about him few months ago. The New
York Ecening Post is hard hearted enough
TO reproduce the following extract from a
leader in the World on the Baltimore NOM
ination of Lincoln and johnson last year,
which might be duplicated from the files of
almost any Coppeihead paper in the land !:
The only merit we can discover in this
Baltimore ticket is the merit of consistency
it is all of piece the tail does not shame
the head nor the head, shame the tail. A
rail-splitting hufioon and boorish tailor,
both from the back woods, both growing up
in uncouth ignorance. They would afford
a grotesque subject for satiric poet, who
mic ht celebrate them in such strains as
Dean Swift bestowed on Winston and Dit
ton, Aristophanes on that servile dema-
gogue, Hyperbolus.

The State Department are in receipt
of voluminous dispatches from our Con-
suls at Constantinople, Smyrna, Port Mahon
and Barcelona, giving further information
on the ravages of the cholera in various parts
of Europe. The reports from Constantine
pie are most all giving the deaths from this
disease as having reached the number of
1000 per day At Smyrna the epidemic
was checked some time since, but it has
broke out afresh, and is now spreading to
frightful extent

G; NADIA is becoming depopulated This
in itself is a sure sign that the Union isrecev-
ing the mass of its emigration. The exodus
las been so serious as TO create call in some
quarters upon the attention of Government;
but young Canada continues fiocking to the
border Iiira Bishop of Toronto lately gave
as his reasons for NJ rebuilding his cathe-
dral, the great losses when bis diocese has
sustained in numbers. In 1861 tniss Catho-
lie diocese had congregation Of 42, 600; but
according to the census now given by the
Bishop 1t does not contain more than 80, 600.
Toronto City from having 5000 Catholics
has diminished to 1000 Not one, but
many Canadian journals, make the same
complaint, and the emigration though most
ly from among the Irish, seems to extend to
other sects and classes of working-men.
The people, says Montreal journal, ARE
leaving US by tens Of thousands" This
seems to be no phenomenon but only the
reasonable out working of that natural law
which seeks every good opening, and which,
some day, may influence Canada itself to
cone into the Union.

In 1868 the copperheads in our State
Legislature refused Andrew johnson per-
mission to speak in the Legislative Hall at
Harrisburg-a permission that they granted
we believe, to every other applicant. When
he was nominated to the Vice Presidency,
the whole Copperhead persuasion was great
ly outraged that a .boorish tailor" should be
elected for such an exalted position. They
are now willing to swallow all their old vom-
ii, if President johnson will condescend to
give them an occasional suck at the public

An Insult to the Heroes of gettysburg,

an insuIt TO the Heroes OF gettysburg.
1t Is admitted on all sides, that Mai Gen.
heade,s great victory at Gettysburg, saved
pennsylvania from utter devastation. and nc
doubt rescued the other Middle and Eastern
States from invasion by an infuriated horde
OF drunken rebels. The battle ofGettysburg
was one of the most brilliant achievements
OF the age, and the glory which Meade won
on that occasion was shared by every gallant
soldier who fought under his command.
fet, in the face of these facts-convinced
that Meade's victory had saved the homes
and tiresides ofPenDsylvaniaf from desolation,
blood stain and pollution was reserved for
the Copperheads in the Pennsylvania Sen
ate to oppose and defeat resolution render
ing thanks to Gen. Meade and his army, for
their great service on the battle field. The
following extract from the Legislative Rec
ORD tor 1864. page "a, places the Copper
heads IN their true position of lngratitude to
the soldier:
MAJOR GENERAL GEO. G. MEADE AND THE
ARMY OF THE POTOMAC.
Mr. NJ M'CANDLEss. l offer the following
resolution:
Resotred, That the people of Pennsylva-
MA through their representatives. tender
their profound and heartfelt thanks to Mai.
General George G. Meade and the Army of
the Potomac, for relieving our native State
from the tread of the rebel hordes, and hur-
ling them back from the immortal field of
Gettysburg, and while we thus tender our
thanks to the noble living. we revere the
memory OF theimmortal dead who sacrificed
their lives on the holy altar of their beloved
country.
On the question, Will the Senate pro-
coed to second reading of the resolution
The yeas and nays were required by Mr..
Donovan and Mr.. STARK, and were as
follow, viz:
Yeas-Messrs. Champneys, Connell, Dun
lap, Fleming, Graham, Hoge, Householder,
johnson. Lowry.M Candless, Nichols, Ridg-
way, Turreil, Wilson, Worthington, and Pen
ny. Speekcr-I6
Nays-Messrs Beardslee, Bucher, ely
mer, Donovan. Glatz, Hopkins, Kinsey,
Lamberton, Latta, NJ Sherry, Montgomery,
So the question was determined in the
negative.
Can any soldier support the candidates of
a party thus ungrateful for victories won by
the sccrifce of many hundreds of noble lives?
We believe there is no soldier in Pennsylya-
MIA, who can be seduced into the support of
the candidates ofsGch an organization, and
when William A. Wallace, Chairman of the
Copperhead StateCentralC Committee appeals
to the soldier for his vote, he will be answer
ed with Indignation, by every hero who
fought at Gettysburg: You refused to
render me a rote Of thanks ,yor ser
r5ces IN aohich my life ocas pat at peril, and
I nooc refuse to rote for candidates IN ml.ose
success your bosest political purposes are at
stake" Such will be the reply of all sol
diers to all Copperheads seeking their sup
port, because the Copperhead party through
out Pennsylvania endorsed the ae ton of the
Copperhead Senators during the session of

The New,Jersey Copperheads seem to be

who was lately invited by a Copperhead

For the Raftsman's Journal

Mr.. EDITOR Allow me through YOU to
make some inquiries. You are aware it is
alleged by those who wish to iniure the
credit of the Government, that the monied
mentor spectators )of our country are dispos-
ing of their property and converting the
proceeds into government bonds. or bonds
that are not taxed, in order to get rid of
their share OF responsibility in paying the
debt occasloned by the war virtually repu-
dating that debt as far as in them lies, and
throwing the weight upon labor Now
what L wish to inquire is, what has become
OF the contributors to, or writer's fJr the Re
publican who were lately so ready to assail
everything they conceived to be wrong, or
correct every error they discovered? Where
Is Alr. \. whose cdcOcth,.s scriJcn9i was so
great that he appeared in two long articles

ed under three stars (*** exposing the sup
posed secrets and doings of the Loyal League
OF karthaus and denouncing the drafted
men who got clear from deafness and stiff
fingers, aud 'skleeted his spiteful jokes" on
the man whom he immagined assisted them
by styling him "a good taiker?' Then an
article appears on the occasion of Jacob
Hertlein S death, charging it to the Repub-
cality, who mounted and rode J. d. Ms
mules all through Solomon's kingdom, dis
tributing the mails, &c. And lastly, where
is the DR.. who exposed the application of
the fat dog to the dislocation of the
shoulder, and blew up the French doctor for
his short comings and made him skedaddle? ?
These writers, as far as | can learn
are all Democrats, and ever ready and will
ing to appear in print, when they can write
anything that they think is little smart, or
that will make for their party Here is
fruitful subject, and why do not some of
these champions come out in favor of taxing
the bonds or advocate the passage of law |
ro that effect? Is it because their leaders
are interested. in the speculation and they |
are afraid to speak out for fear of thereby |
gaining their i'll will and lesson their own |
chances for preferment? We shall see.

President Lincoln On Universal Suffrage
and General Amnesty.

The Southern AdcOcate, of the 18th Sep
tember, says the following extract, which
has just been published, is from the late
President Lincoln letter to General Wads-
worth, who was killed in the battle of the
Wilderness. As Mr.. Lincoln views on all
subjects bearing on the reorganization of
the South, are regarded as worthy of the
most serious consideration, his sentiments
on universal suffrage especially will be read
with more than ordinary interest In the
extract referred to, Mr.. Lincoln says:
You desire to know, in the event of our
complete success in the field the same being
followed by loyal and cheerful submission
on the part of the South, if universal am
nesty should not be accompanied with uni
versal suffrage? Now since you know my
private lncllnationS as to what should be
granted to the South in the contingency
mentioned, [ will here add that if our sue
cess should thus be realized, followed by
such desired results, | cannot see, if univer-
sal amnesty is granted, how under the cir
cumstances | can avoid exacting in return,
universal suffrage, or at least suffrage on
the basis of intelligence and military service.
How TO better the condition of the colored
race has long been study which has at
tracted my serious and careful attention
Hence | think lam clear and decided as to
what course [ shall pursue in the premises,
regarding it a religious duty as the Nation
guardian of these people who have so hero
ically vindcated their manhood on the battle
field, where, In assisting to save the life of
the republic, they have demonstrated in
blood their right to the ballot, which is but
the human protection of the flag they have
so fearlessly defended

The Chicago papers give curious chap
ter of crime. Mr.. Felkner, an attorney of
that city.sshas been, as it appears, engaged
for some time in receiving stolen bonds eras-
ing their number and disposing Of them.
The detectives of that city have been on his
track for some time. Recently he had an
accomplice, as he supposed, but in reality a
detective, arrested, and the prisoner was on
Wednesday examined before justice The
upshot Of the affair was the disclosure of
Felkners guilt, and his arrest in the court
room, two or three free fights between the
police end the culprits friends, and the rendi-
ton of Felkner to the authorities of Ohio.
