Assassination rs a Democratic Prln-
CiDIe.

The Copperhead press affects great
concern lest some. bloody radical may
assassinate President johnson. Our
ueichbor of the Herald 10 particularly |
uneasy on that point. We are glad to |
see him and his c0ntTeTes taking ground
against the assassination of public of
.Ssf 49, su and xeeafty, a66Ef Town own
State, might not have been slain for the
simple performance OF duty, and the
noble martyr, ABRAHAM LINCOLN,
might yet have been alive. But the
Herald's horror of assassination is of
toe late a growth to give much conf
dence Of Rsi1incerity. Lesstha0 tree
weeks ago prominent politician Of its
party stood up in the Capitol, aud be-
fore large assembly of Democrats ex-
pressed his delight that Mr.. Lincoln bad
been murdered, bat the Herald has ut
tered no word of rebuke Of this glorifier
