The people of this STAT and ldoubt not Of other States
need TO be admonshed Of the extraordinary efforts be-
ing put forth BIZ the managers of the conservative or
'Copper.Johnson organization az such conglomera-
ion eau be sad be organizel to fost upon strong Re-
publican districts Of their stripe for Congress 1t
woull hardly possible that any danger existed in
thisst.onsly Radical district, whore very large majority
are in hearty sympathy with the action Of the late Con-
gcss and whore the supporters of Andrew johnson out
sdo Of the Democratic party not numerous enough for
milestone, through the c1Iary Nevertheless, there is
danger uLic,, the people iuroWarned against il.
For two wears past this district has been honestly and
fithfCy up-cScnedby ihc Hon Sidney 4. Holmes Of
M0ri-yo, Madison County whose life, acts aud words
have ever been n sympathy with the Republican Masses
Unfortunately th principle OF rotation which has never
yet been deplre from gives The nomination this year 20

ton and inGsni ch rs lie possesses local strength at
home on accouu, of his hiding the Niagara Ship Canal
project as an especial hobby there is danger that for the
next two years This district VIII be mi,rtrescrte1 DO
not need 20 tell those fmillar with4 the political
history O. Ills State that Mr. Iiule'ohn POLITICALLY
il and always has been loyal instrument Of Ihurlow
Weed that 20 the later boz owes whatever position he
has attained on side Of h' own city. Last Winter Mr
LtciohD was ~ the State Legislature the " COnseTv
alive leader When the resolutions in favor Of the Civil
ri hts bill came up for final action, he deliberately took
his hat and walked ont of the chamber attracting no little
notice at the time. The following day he took the floor
and in elaborate speech justified his action rather
want Of action, an very strongly Endorsed President
johnson. His speech published at the time and with
especial laudaton, in Tie Ncr- York Times. Mr. Little
John has rccedcd from that speech, but,
on the contrary continues 10 he an indorser of MIR
Johnson's Administration. Ii is susceptible Of proof
that very recently he hats been in cordial conmunica
tOn with the movers Of the Saratoga CopperJohnson
Convention and assisted Of the delegates 70 Phila
delpha from this county in arranging the programme OF
course he much too nice to let his appear
publicly Just this time when seeking the Congressional
nomination; but some friends of the Philadelphia Con-
ventOn movement discreet himself openly boast
that Radical like Holmes will vote IN Congress from
this district for the next two years. The Copperiacks,
believe, without exception all for Littleohu, and will
hesitate participate IN the Republican caucues, al
though they have sympathy whatever with the party
Under these circumstances there is likely TO be lively
canvass in this district II the whole facts are known,
"wever the Republican masses will turn out IN their
