The Spirit of Copperheadism.

That the Copperhead leaders have been
canvassing the subject of precipitating an
other civil war for revengeful purposes,
seems almost certain. In evidence of this,
we will state the declaration of not over
cautious member of that party, made in
this borough recently. He said
'The day is not far distant when the Re-
publicans will be paid up for arresting Dem
ocrats during the war and imprisoningt them. y
The individual who made this assertion,
no doubt, reflects the sentiments and utter
ances of more cautious minds, as his bump
of originality is rather too meagerly devel-
oped to enable him to come to such con-
clusion unprompted But, be this as it may,
this threatened revenge on the Republicans,
is in perfect accord with the threat of civil
war made by Montgomery Blair in his Read
ing speech, and the threat of the editor of
the Clearfeld Republican to RENEW the
irrepressible conflict by another ''revolu-
ton"
''To be fore armed is to be fore warned, -
is an old but true addage and we take this
opportunity to caution all true and loyal
men-the patriotic men of all parties who
stood by the Union during the late rebellion
to keep aloof from all entangling alliances
with these insiduous revolutionists and
then, should that party attempt to carry
their base declarations into effect. you will
be fully prepared to maintain the integrity
of the Union and the flag of your country,
untrammelled by party ties or the oaths of
secret political societies.

ATTEMPTED ASSASSINATION.

Dastardly Outrage on Soldiers at York, Pa.
RAILROAD Train Fired on by. Concealed
Rufins-Car containing Gov. Curtin. Gen.
Geary, and Ladies Fired into.
HARRISBURG, Pa, August l0.-The par
ticulars of the attack on the Geary soldiers, at
York, last night, are as follows The train
was moving off when the soldiers in the open
gondolas were attacked by party secreted
in cornield, whence came discharges from
6re-a arms, stones, and other missiles. Half
a dozen soldiers were badly bruised about
the head, and one was shot in the leg. Six
shots were fired at the closed car in which
were Gov Curtin. Gen. Geary and the la
dies and children of the party. One ball
entered and is still imbedded in the wood of
the car. OF course the ladies were much
frightened, and their screams were heard by
the boys on board, who caused the train to
stop, and went back after the attacking
party, who Immediately fled in all direc-
tions A special policeman appointed by
the Democratic authorities of the York is
said to have fired several shots

Try To SHIFT THE RESPONSIBILITY =
The Copperhead papers throughout the
country, fearful of the stigma of the New
Orleans massacre attaching to them, try to
shift the responsibility of that horrid affair
from the shoulders of the rebels, by styling
it negro riot Mayor Monroe's letter
to Gen. Baird, however, plainly indicates
its origin. The rebels are guilty of attack
ing and numbering peaceable assembly of
Union men in cold blood, and all the sophys-
try and perversion of facts, by the Copper
head leaders, will not shift the responsibility
from the guilty party

Governor of Louisiana.

During the year, ending August Ist, the
National debt was reduced over one hundred
anot teceatytour millions Of sZo5iars-a fact,
believed to be without a parallel in the an
mails of nations. At this rate, twenty years
will suffice to liquidate the entire national
debt

Questions for the DemooracY.

In a letter to the Philadelphia Press,
Occasional puts the questions at issue
before the country at this time, as follows
THE Representatives who, inrunning for
reelection, will have to meet the brunt of
the Copperhead batteries for supporting the
glorious Article of Pacification, need have
no fears. They have only to ask their adj
versaries five plain questions, each being
pertinent to the five leading sections of that
article:
l. Are you opposed to conferring civil
rights upon all the citizens of the American
Republic {?
2. Are you in favor of allowing South
Carolina rebel two votes and half, when
the Union Soldier throws but one?
8. Are you opposed to decree that pre-
vents the traitors from holding Office in the
United States?
4. Are you opposed to clause that rem
ders it impossible to repuliate our own ma
tienal debt, and makes it an inviolate cove
nant and an inviolable duty to pay the
bounties and pensions of the Union soldiers
5. Are you in favor of paying the rebel
war debt?
These questions no Union man would
hesitate to answer in the spirit that prompt
ed the preparation of the amendment of the
National Constitution. And | am glad to
add that | think the overwhelming majority
OF the Democratic party would respond with
equal promptitude and patriotism. He
must be double-dyed traitor, indeed, who
could answer otherwise.

The managers of the Harrisburg Clymer
Soldiers Convention, would have the peo-
pie believe that the boy in blue are very
enthusiastic in the support of their candi-
date for Governor especially in ''old Berks."
The last Reading Journal, however, puts a
slight damper on this, by publishing the
names of nearly 500 soldiers in the City of
Reading, who have enrolled their names to
train with the friends of Gen. Geary.
