aENT UMITED STATES ORFIoEAA

BE OONFLRMHD.

ton of one, were identified with the copper
heads Of this State.
Second They all, but one, opposed the /
war, favored secession and denounced inc
President, and Congress-
Third. All, except one, publicly siorleu
IN the success of the Rebels and were par,
ticularly jubilant after the battle OF Bull
Run.
Fourth. Not one can. on oath, say he re-

So much for the crowd, now for the indi-

For his record, VIC appeal to the loyal men
Of Dover, Del.
