An Inveterate COpperhead.

Mr.. Harris, of Maryland, made a
genuine copperhead speech in the
House Of Representatives the other
day, We take the following extract
from a condensed report of it:
"Ho declared himself an old Line
Democrat, believing in the doctrine Of
secession, believing that the several
States of the Union have the right to
separate from it, each acting for itself.
He declared his belief that abuses and
usurpations had been practiced and
threatened to so great an extent by
their associates and partners in this
government compact that the Southern
States were justified in going out; and
his further belief that by their ordi-
nances of secession they did 90 out,
and thereby became to this Union
foreign States. These convictions he
could 1 OF change, and he did not ex-
pect they would ever be removed.
He would most assuredly proclaim
them and stand by them as long as a
'hA'SoA NAtiANi1 VI Vic NOnlGAlClult lOl1leS
was in chains or subject to penalty for
asserting them. There was 10 politi-
cal or personal consideration which
could prompt him to such desertion.
What, sir, said he, 4, that believe
them right; /, that would have Joined
them if the sovereign State Of Mary
land had said SO, to desert them now,
III their utmost need, when l can legi-
timately give them such protection as
is in my power honestly to give
Never.
He denied that Andrew johnson,
coming from foreign State, could
legally be President of the United
States; he bewailed the fate of Mary
Surfatt; and he finally wound up with
reiterating that the right of secession
was a ruling principle of the Demo
cratic party-a statement which some
what nettlcd his friends in the House

Gen. Rousseau, member of the House
from Kentucky. made disgraceful as
sault on Mr. Grinnell, of Iowa, on the
18th inst, which is thus described by
the Washington correspondent of the
Boston Journal:
Thursday afternoon, when the
House adjourned, it was raining fast
with thunder and lightning, and the
members generally left the capitol 10y
the eastern portico to take the horse
cars. As Mr.. Grinnell was crossing
the portico he was overtakcn 10y Gen
oral Rousseau, much taller and very
athletic man. who carried in his right
hand a rattan cane, one-third of an
inch in diameter Placing his left
hand on Grinnell's shoulder, Rousseau
hurriedly asked him why he had not
retracted his remarks of Monday,
Grinnell, rather astonished, replied
that he had nothing to say.
Rousseau then declared that he
would make him retract, and gave
severe blows with his cane, right and
left, in the broadsword style in which
Brooks assaulted Sumner, except that
the blows fell lower, two on the shout
ders, two on the neck, and two on the
face. On the last blow the canc was
shivered into fragments and Rousseau
ceased his attack. Meanwhile, Grin
nell had cndeavored to arrest the
blows which were aimed at ms head
receiving portion of ore blow on his
hand As Rousseau ceased, Grinnell
said you haven't hurt me" Rous-
seau replied, 81 didn't want to hurt
you; | wanted to disgrace you" and
withdrew, followed by several Of his
friends who had acted as his escort.
While it must be admitted that
Grinnell gave Rousseau great provo
cation, by calling him, in the course
of debate, an "unmanly, incoherent,
brainless defender OF the President
and other shameful names, it does
not in the slightest degree Justify the
assault The House have appointed a
committee to investigate the matter

UNITY OF THE Party The Chicago
Journal has the following sensible
paragraph;
The only hope of safety for the
cause of national restoration and the
future welfare, rests within the great
Republican party as unit Divide it,
and you destroy its power and give
the reins of Government into the
hands of the country's worst enemies
We must look this fact squarely in the
face. In unity is continued success;
in division is sure defeat defeat at
many Congressional elections, at
State and Legislative elections, and
finally Mt the next Presidential cleo
ton. Let Republicans, then, stand
firmly by their party organizations; be
tolerant toward each other in matters
of opinion, and labor against the one
danger of copperhead ascendancy,
than which greater calamity could
not befall the country. under present
circumstances.

The County Convention Mr.. Nor
rill for Senator.

The fact that there are two new
Senators to be nominated, and n
change made in some of the other
offices, will undoubtedly call together
large number at the Republican
County Convention, which meets at
Sheldon on Wednesday of next week.
More importance attaches to the nom
insticn of State Senators this year
than there has for many years past.
As our readers are aware the next
legislature will be called on to elect
United States senator for SIX years
from March next, to fill The seat so
long and ably occupied by the late
Hon. jacob Coliamer. The two can
didatcs for that position are the Hon.
Justin s. Morrill, and the Hon l.. p.
Poland. We favor the election of the
former because we think he is the best
man for the place; and in saying this
we do not wish to be understood as
casting the least reflection upon the
ability of Judge Poland. Mr.. Morrills
long Congressional career, his ac-
knowledged ability, his untiring in
dustsy, his integrity, his sincerity his
answering fidelity to the great prin-
ciplos of the republican party, pre-
eininently fit him to be the successor
The lamented Collamer As chairman
of the committee of Ways and Means
he has earned national reputation
second to no member of the present
able House of Representatives. Can
Vermont afford to lose such man
from the national councils ? Do the
people Of the State desire Mr.. Morrill,
TO stay at home and have elected n
man who, to say the least, does not so
fully, fairly and unequivocally repre-
sent their political sentiments, as Mr..
Morrill,? We think not.
While we do not in this connection
wish to express any preferences for
the Senators to be nominated at Shell
don next week, we do wish to urge
upon our Republican friends, upon the
friends lof Mr.. Morrill,, to elect such
men for senators as will vote right in
this important senatorial contest.
