 It would be amusing, If it were not quite so sad to look upon the proceedings of the copper heads assembled at New Haven last week, when they imagined they were creating a national if not world wide sensation. s5.t .ss, -.. .s.sl
 Poor deluded old men. Can they not realize that the issues about which they talk, have been con- sidered by the people and decided in the final ver- dict given last October and November2 Whats the use of talking to the same people about issues they have decided, and have now passed on to the consideration of others more important
 We have had . desolating war, oountenanced at least, not encouraged bythese same copperheads. The people have suppressed it, and now they de- mand that those who inaugurated the war, shall give security for their future good behavior, and they do not intend that their sympathizers at the North. shall be the commissioners to settle the tsrms of restoration. Those commissioners are now acting in this matter at Washington, and lest they should fail in completing the work, their sue eessors have already been appointed. Bide your time gentlemen The work will be accomplished in due Eme, and the Congress of the Nation will be sustained by the people who placed it in power. If the eopperhsada of Connecticut desire to aid in controlling the destnes of the State or Nation let them make common cause with the great party of freedom.
 Such men as Seymour, Toucy, Gallagher, and Eaton, must have very poor opinion of the intel Egenee of the people of Connecticut, if they imag- nc that personal violence to the members of Con- gress is to be spprehended from the dead bodies of gentlemen who were passed over, some years ago, by the brave sons of Massachusetts their way to Washington tolsastain. this glorious free govern msnt, that permits such braggarts to get together and threaten anew its overthrow.

A Democratic View OF the Eight Hour

We have heretofore referred to the
position assumed by some of the lead
ing Democratic newspapers of the
country. in their bitter opposition to
the eight hour movement. Among
these. the most prominent are the
Chicago Times and the New York
World, the two ablest Democratic
papers published in the United
States. 1t is rather amusing to read
them and compare their utterances
with the professions of some of the
political tricksters of the same party
in this locality, where they have as
sumed to be par ercelleace the friends
and champions Of the eight hour ad-
herents. The Wer,d, of Saturday,
publishes a carefully written and

Rejecting, as it does, the genuine
sentiments of the leading spirits of
the party, tits worthy of more than a
passing notice.
The World asserts that the Eight
Hour movement is utterly hopeless of
success, because Of the interests which
are combined against it. These in
terests, it says, are incalculable in
amount. for they include the entire
community, except the Eight Hour

minded that several States have
passed Eight Hour laws, and that the
political conventions of both parties
compete for the Workingmen's favor
by pledging their. efforts for such
legislation, the World replies that it
is very well aware :" that the pusil-
lanimity of hand to- mouth politicians
ia both the great political parties has
given to this Eight Hour movement a
seeming start and promise of sue
cess !" but presuming upon the boast
ed devotion of the Democratic party
to the Workingmen, it proceeds to
"tell the plain truth aboutethe bust
ness" and exposes sthe groundless-
iness of the hopes which interested
rdemagogues have nursed and taught
them to cherish" 80 sz'- - e
1t says, that. again and again it
has reported that the eight hour
movement could at no time have been

it claims to make plain to the dullest
comprehension that it is :. absurd
and impossible - in the present con-
dition of our finances and our large
national indebtedness " The gigan-
tie debt which they have createdis not
