tons, they held ratification meeting
on the Wednesday night following, at
which. the copperheads poured out
their abuse of the Government in the
most shameless manner.
Sanderson, of Chicago, said:

{ A bloody war has been waged to
elevate the negro to an equality with

dog.
Mr.. Rollins, of Missouri, said:

Dean Richmond, of New York, put
his sentiments into the following plain,
vigorous, and constitutional, language:

Mr.. McMasters, of New York, thus
speaks of the tyrant, Mr. Lincoln,
and insists upon the war being stopped

Never till that day when. the usurper
