COPPERHEAD LOGIC.

Our enemies persistently clamor about
the magnitude of the national debt, says
the North american, as proof of Re-
publican iucapacity to govern, and there
fore argue that We ought to sustain Cop
perhead candidates for office. But will
they pay off the debt or repudiate it If
they propose to pay it off, in what way
can they do so without increasing already
enormous taxation Yet these same Cop
perheads keep up the same clamor about
the taxation as being a vast incubus
How can they reduce both the debt and
the taxes? They already have the whole
national administration in their hands, in-
cluding the President and Secretary of
the Treasury. We can give them no
power to reduce either debt or taxes If
they had a majority in both houses of
Congress, they could not reduce expenses
without embarrassing their own admins
tration, unless they were to stop all pay
ment of bounties and pensions to soldiers.
Still they appeal to the soldiers as being
their especial friends, and represent the
Republicans as their enemies Would
they pay seven and half millions of dol
lars Cor Alaska aud five millions for Sa-
mana, or would they repudiate these en-
gagcments, which are not Republican, but
made by Seward and Johnson?
They magnify the burden Of the debt
aud endeavor to render i. Odious to the
people, at the same time that they pre-
tend to accept the lessons of the civil war
and the splendid results achieved by it.
If the war and its results are to be con-
sidered thus as beyond question, why dis
pute the debt without which it could not
have been carried on? If they do not
desire to repudiate that debt, why seek to
render it odious If they SO ardently
wish to reduce the debt, why increase its
load of interest by funding greenbacks
bearing no interest in securities that pay
six per cent in gold !? If as a matter of
economy they are opposed to paying boun-
ties to the soldiers, why go on paying out
millions for more territory If they are
SC we'll satisfied with the greenbacks, why
reiterate the old State cries about an ex-
cessive and worthless currency? If they
prefer guaranteed bank currency, why
seek to undermine the credit Of the na-
tional banks ? If they are in favor of a
reduction Of taxation, why oppose the
abolition of the Onerous taxes on domestic
industry? They have constantly repre-
sented that there existed SO great and
pressing need for revenue as to leave
no room for lowering of taxes, and yet
they keep up clamor at the same time
against this very taxation as unjust.
They seek to make the Union soldiers
regard them as their friends, while they
continually depreciate their glorious deeds,
and award more credit to rebel troops than
to our own. They pretend to abhor the
assassination Of Abraham Lincoln while

CALIFORNIA ELECTION.

There seems to be no doubt that the
Copperheads of California were allowed
to elect their candidates for Governor and
other State Offices, by the silly pickering
and unreasonable differences which pre-
vailed in the Republican ranks of tina;
State. This result, barren as it is in every
particular, for national effect has never
theless excited the most ridiculous rejoic.

Another such victory would certainly
produce hts in every Copperhead in the
country.

One of the principal points at issue liz
the campaign in Ohio is the tariff, the
Democrats strongly favoring free trade
and bitterly denouncing protection. The
people of this State have vital interest
in this question, and they should remenl-
Der in the coming elections the attitude
assumed by the Democracy of other States
and the free-trade principles secretly cher
ished by the Democratic leaders and can
didates i'll Pennsylvania.

NOTE.-Tho above article was written,
and at the request of a number of Repuj-
icans handed to II Ii. Wilson, Editor of
the JUNIATA SENTINEL, for publication
in that paper about three weeks prior to
the time of holding the delegate election.
He refused to publish it in the SENTINEL,
giving as the reason for his refusal that
he was candidate. john j. Patterson
was present at the time, and after reading
the article positively declared that no such
communication should be printed IN the
SENTINEL, and told Wilson not to pub
lish it. My object in publishing it now
is to let the people see that it contained
nothing in conflict with the principles Of
the Republican party. J. l..

this public manner to charge that the

that he knew when he wrote it; he knows

Depression in New England.

Accounts from New England repre-
sent business to be in an unusually
depressed condition. The demand fer
nearly all kinds of manufactured
goods is diminishing, while there is
an increasing difficulty in obtaining a
market for supplies on hand. En-
ployment Is consequently becoming
scarce, and great many mechanics
are out of work, and at the present
time. it is probable that the majority
of the factories in the New England
States are not working more than
three quarters time The ship build
ing interests are particularly depress-
ed. The Maine ship yards are nearly
all idle. In Newburyport, Mass, the
ship. building trade, which formerly
constituted the chief business of that
fourishing town, is now next to
nothing. The few vessels that were
launched during the last year were
built at loss. 1t is the same in near
ly all the formerly busy hives of New
England. The manufacturers have
generally done a losing business, and
sales have been light. Mechanics earn
poor wages, and while labor and prop
erty are less productive, the cost of
living has not fallen to a correspond
ing degree. ~ Boston Journal

and they propose to extend the area
of assessment over the whole city be-
low Fourteenth Street, by which to
raise it. Every house and lot be-
low 18th Street was to be assessed to
open narrow street 1; 500 feet.
There are over $4,000 owners of prop
erty within this area who were to be
thus taxed for the benefit of City Hall
ring. tits known large awards were
made for old and almost vaiueless
buildings, the title of which had but
recently changed hands, before said
awards were made. This swindle was
so palpa BILE an outrage that one of
the commissioners refused to sign the
report, and public sentiment was so
strongly excited against it that even
the Common Council was compelled
original resolution authorizing the
extension. [Cheersl !. Now, what did
the virtuous and honest Mr.. Hoffman
do? Were his sensibilities shocked
as in the Ann Street case? Did he
hasten TO approve the resolution
adopted by both Boards of Common
Council, and thus show his desire to
protect the public interests and four
teen Uh0uSanG taxpayers from an I'M
just imposition? He did not But
he vetoed this resolution, thus refusing
his sanction, letting the swindle go on.
All the influences which the aggriev-
ed tax payers could bring to bear
upon him were insufficient to over
come his objections. A burly repre-
sentive of the Street Department had
sufficient power to counteract and
overcome the remonstrance Of four
teen thousand citizens. Now, there
fore the differences to be drawn from
these facts are that Mr.. Hoffman is as
great pretender. as a proper custo-
dian of the interests of the people, as
he is unable to resist the malignant
influences which surround him. His
good intentions, admitting them to ex-
ist, are of no avail, as against those
who use him for their own purposes.

The delegates are one hundred in

freedmen. As [ looked at them
could not utsreflect that : beheld a
magnificent exhibition of poetic and
retributive justice for these men now
occupy the place where sat but seven
years ago the proud, defiant Confed-
crate Congress that made slavery the
Keystone of their arch Of Government.

of these men, my first impression was
also my last. A more .earest. serious,
and orderly deliberative body [ have
never seen, and this impression is con
frmed by the general admissi0n,in
Montgomery, that they ,are a much
beUtcr-looking set of mer than the
Alabama Legislature.

bama Legislatures, eight present or
former Judges of various Courts of
the State, twelve lawyers, seven Off
GERS and sixteen commissioned
officers and privates Of the rebel army,
six physicians and a number Of plan

The President of the Convention is
the Hon. E. W. Peck, for forty years
resident of Tuscaloosa, formerly
Chancellor of the State, recognized as
possessing one of the first legal minds
in the country, and man of unblem-
ished purity of character. Among the
rebel officers is Major Semple, law
yer by profession, and graduate of
Cambridge Law School, who for some
time commanded the artillery in Gle
burne''s division, and distinguished
himself at Chickamauga.
If this Convention is a fair index
and exponent of the conventions to
be held IN nine other Southern States,
it is risking but little to say that their
intelligence, honesty and ability, will
soon silence misrepresentation and
abuse"
