THE PLAN OF HECONsr srfsUCrIOy
1NVULNERAILE To COPPER
HEAD ATTACKS.

The plan Of Reconstruction which has passed
the House OF Representatives has Its strong
rs we'll as weak side. II it does mol elicit
much enthusiasm among Radical Ncpublt-
cans, II Is lnvulnerable TO the attacks Of tie
Copperheads. 1t is amusing pastimc to turn
over 1fty or hundred Copperhcad ex-
changes, and rea6 the sort Of arguments they
contain le1clled at the reconstruction schemc.
The burden OF their song is, that it must prove
unsatisfactory to the Radicals that they can
not consistly support It that 1t ought to be
dcicatcd-bccause wlys because the Radicals
advocate impartial suffrage, and the plan of
reconstruction does not sccarc that bv direct
constitutional amendment; therefore, the
Radicals must oppose It, and let Johnson's
Corperhesd plan be adopted, Of opening the
doors Of Congress and inviting in the rcbcls
without terms, conditions or guarantees.
But If the Radicals should conclude to accent
a half loaf as better than no bread, what are
the Coppcrhcads going 10 do about its
Suppose the Senate shall concur iu tho
HonEc amendment, mud It shall 20 10 the
States for ratification, what line Of arga-
ment will the Coppcsheads pursue In oppos~
ing IL? What reasons can they give showing
that The Johnson-C -Coppcrhead policy Is better
than the Congressional plan ofreconssruc.
tons How will they make a successful as-
sault on the first section, which provides that
''no State shall make or cnforce any law
(which shall abridge the privileges or immu-
entities Of citizens Of the United States, nor
"sllaH any Statc deprive any person Of life,
"1ibesty or property, without due process Of
"law, nor deny TO suy person within its jusis-
''diction the equal protection Of the law"
VIII the Copperheads risk a fight on this
clause, before the people, on the stump, OF at
the bai1ot-boS: We challenge them to do it
In Illinois. Republican stumpcrs would want
no better tun than taking of The hides of
Copperheads on that issue. II would be bet
ter sport than skinniug eels. We should like
to see them advocate the proposition that
local Legislatures shall have the authority to
abridge the rights OF the citizen. or to deprive
any person Of Lie, liberty or property with
out due process Of law.
