COpperhead Tndecency---Dis-

SFaceHuA Assault on Gen. Grant.
From the SprtsQt5e1d(IzD Journal.
The british, devilish spirit which
possesses the so called Democrats.

OF the passage of Gen. Grant through
Carlinville, the other evening. That
party, under the auspices of that
prince of low fellows, Bill O'Brien.
had been holding political meeting
III the town during the day, and,
filled with bad whisky, when they
heard that Gen. Grant was upon the
train, they started for the depot, sew
eral hundred strong, and taking pos
session of the platform, and surround
ing the Generals car, they set upon
him with the most unearthly wells
and screechings, insulting him and
his family in the most dastardIy and
shameful manner. The fellow O'Brien,
whose manners as filthy as he is him.
self personally, was lOudest and fore
most in urging on the drunken mob.
Gen. Grant had raised the window of
the car for the purpose of shaking
hands with some friends whom he
recognized, when one of the dirty
hounds, more impudent than the rest,
rushed to the window, and shouting
"hurrah for Seymour and Blair
violently struck Gen. Grant in the
face with his hat. Mr.. Mcconnell.
who was conversing with the General
at the time, resented the indignity by
giving the fellow blow on the side of
the smeller which sent him sprawling
and Lieutenant Mckee and others
at once kicked him off the platform.
This, however, only the more incens-
ed the COpperhead mob, and, though
it was intended by the decent citizens
of the place to extend to the General
who had successfully led our armies
through the war some indication of
their personal, not to say political,
appreciation of his services, it was
found to be utterly impossible to do so,
and the train passed on. The hyenas
with O'Brien at their head who per-
petrated the insult, were highly de-
lighted with their disgraceful perfOr-
mances, but the respectable citizens of
Carl;nyille, without regard to party,
were exceedingly indignant that such
a reproach should be cast upon the
good name of their town and we are
not astonished. 1t is certain that the
Democracy have gained nothing by
their bad manners.

There are some men that blow and

big things they are going to do, and
how they are going to serve the peO-

and they turn out just as big rascals

nothing about it, but goes to work

be done, and the first thing we know
it is all over with; and what he does

The Rev. DIR. Huntington, of Massachusetts, desired

Mr. Strongleow hoped the motion to indefinitely

look as though the Convention was afraid to meet the
questions of ritualism. He offered, amend

Convention to take sny action in the premises.
No action was taken, the hour of adjournment
