.sisWHY NOT TRusT THE lSeurHERN PEorLK?
10 the cry OF those who areauxious 10 renew
the chances Of makiug copperbead capisaI
by fresh alliance between The political
taristocracy Of the South and the political
aristocracy of the North. The answer 10
this cry is, nobody objects 10 trusting the
Southern YeePte, extept0 the trsil lorous
achivalrya and their friends, whoH bese.'
trusted them, m,-didn't dare to trust them
TO vote even on the question Of secession
The Southern people properly approached
and properly dealt with, firmly aud kindly
treated, cdn easily be reeoncied 10 time,
and 10 no long time ieither, 10 new slsd
truly democratic order Of, things, socially
aud polilicsly-brenght1 to, accept free
labor and honor it-the free school aud
support it-free 10 stitutions generally, and
confess their wort b alike to the white man
and the colored man. living under tqha
laws. aud enjoying equal rights as cifzens
But it is not these Southern peoble for
whom the copperheads ask confidence -
They want this for the old oppressors OF
these Southern people. s'-''''4
Now, In regard TO this class, at the feet

jim regard to this class, what has the
country done in the past, except u ust them
to its terrible cost They had almost q
monopoly of The Offices of The army and

Their boast was that they would rule
or ruin. They failed at last to rule, and
brought rnin upon themselves. Are we
to rescue them from the consequences OF
