Oopperhead Know Nothingism

If one thing is meaner than another in
the way fhe Democrats oppose Judge Will
Hams, it is the fling that he was born in
Connecticut If he were native of the
bogs of Ireland, or some unproneuncabe
place of the Continent of Europe, and knew
as little of our system of government as
thousands of the Democratic party; or,
better yet, were he fresh from the South and
still wore the rebel gray, we presume there
would be no objection to Judge Williams
This new phase of Know Nothingism is
noticeable in all the Copperhead papers
VIII they tell us what there is in Judge
Williams, resulting from his birth place, that
constitutes valid reason why he should not
be elected? Is he not good citizen-an
upright Judge-a lover of his country-a
friend of his species-and is there among us
another, wherever born, of whom this can
be said with more emphasis than of Judge
Williams? 1t is an insult to the intelligence
of the people to ply them with stuff like
that which the papers of that party are con-
tinually printing about his birth place. 1t
is discreditable to it self. and worthy only
of the contempts which, with men of the
least intelligence, it will be received.

A Handsome Commitment.

The Washington Chronicle, in the course
of an article upon the approaching election

Williams Happily for our cause, our
friends in Pennsylvania have noble stan
dard- bearer in the conflict. Hon. Henry
W. Williams has been long an ornament to
the bar and bench of the city of Pittsburg,
and the county of which it is the centre.
For more than quarter of century he
has in that moral, industrious and patriotic
community, which is the pride of Pennsyl-
vania, and which also gave Edwin NJ.
Stanton to the nation, illustrated in his life
all the virtues of the Christian and the pa
triot There was never doubt as to his
