Columbus a Cunarder on two-masted
brigantine when he discovered Amer
lea? Just contemplate the road trav-
eled over and see what innovations
have been made upon 'the traditions
of our fathers" in thephysical and ideal
world. Alannerism is cast complete
ly in the shade. Nobody wishes to
do as others have done. Customs diff
fer and ambition "plumes itself for
loftier flights" than have yet been
reached by mortals. And yet there is
a class Of unf0rtpnatcs called Copper
heads who pine for "the traditions Of
our fathers" and tug and hitch at
the crowd which hurrics by on the
road of Progress, They see nothing
but danger ahead in every new stroke
that wipes ont an old idea.
Slavery was apet "tradition"o of Cop
perheads and they raised long, loud
howl when it was abolished forever in
these United States. State Rights,
too, is iostercd in their memories as a
treasure, partially obscured by the
result Of the war, The only way is to
push on and secure tie laurels, as the
Republican party has done, and let
them-the stragglers-come up after
wards. In the matter Of Finance
the position Of the Copperheads was
originally for hard money and against
State banks; then for State banks and
opposed to greenbacks; and now it is
for greenbacks and against the Nation
al banks, and should any improvement
be suggested in the National Banking
System it would be for the National
Banks and against Improvement. Thus
in a natural lifetime by voting the
Copperhead ticket a man votes every
Radical principle, except that he votes
them year or two later. Those who
wish to swing on the tail of Society
should continue to vote the Copper
head ticket. You will never get the
sand ont of your eyes until you mount

was quiet, peaceful man, of middle

except that the usual cavities under the

of his feats Of strength are well authen-

THE NEW CoNsULs AND TAXATION.

1t is understood that a bill, the re-
suit of careful preparation by leading
financial members of the two Houses,
may be introduced in Congress this
week, which authorizes the issue of
two thousand millions of dollars Id
"bonds of the consolidated debt of the
United States" to bear five per cent.

in gold, redeemable after twenty years
at the public option and maturing in
fifty years; and to be exempt from tax

semi-annually deducted from the inter-
est, to form sinking-fund for the
payment of the national debt. Exist

these bonds, which may also be used
for banking purposes. 1t is believed
that these long bonds, at the lower rate
of interest, but with all cavil as to the
mode of their redemption obviated,

FROM THE TRADITIONS
OF OUR FATHERS"

Copperheads are exercised for fear
the present generation shall "depart
from the traditions of our fathers"
Whether they should like to return to
the fashion of knee-breeches and small
swords; powdered wigs and long
waist-coats, or not, they don't say,
but as this is a free country no one has
any right to object if they wish to don
the costume Of George the iii, yet it
certainly would cause remark if they
should appear in the simple dress Of
Father Adam. Need they be told
that "old things have passed away ?"
Faust or Gutenberg, could they
be reused from their long sleep,
would wonder at and admire the per-
fection attained in the cart preserva-
tive" but would they ask us to return
to the old and clumsy method? Would
Benjamin Franklin prefer gig to a
palace-sleeping car in riding from New
York 70 Washington to-day? Had
