rant sworn out BY q woman of low character,
was acquitted at La Fayctte on the 18th ofthis

The following is the closing paragraph
Of the speech Of Judge Richardson, VI Indi-
una. He is q so-called Conservative
ave do not intend to call on any Of the
Democratic party to assist IN the solution Of
any of the present diAiculties-such as they
are-for, I believe that the Uniou party IS
high enough, big enough and long enough
to settle these things within ourselves with
out calling upon the copperhcads to help us.
We are a party whose attachment to the
Constitution creates an inveterate antago-
nism to COpperheadiSm, and we say to our
friends at Washington, especially TO those
who would form a new party, If you are
determined that we should choose between
RadicaliSm and Copperheadism, we will serve
under Radicalism bat not under Copper
headism. If our men at Washington will
look to the people, there viii be no dill
Guilty upon these questions at All, There
will be no Congress party and no President
party. ! am for Congress whenever Con-
gress is right, and am for the President
whenever he ia right; but ! will not e.
one step with either c ,ngress or President
toward the embraces of Copperheadism.
That is how we feel abOat it here, IN that
the Union party will stand side by side with
the Radicals or any body else rendy to
make common cause against the secession
lists Of the South or their allies Of the
North"
