Ccpperl'ead Tricks,

Misrepresentation and falsehood are the right
and LEFT bowers Of the Democratic party. Here
at the North they circulated stories of outragcs
committed by negroes at the South, Of their Inn
providence, and other evil qualities. At the
South they have to adopt different plan to ex-
cite and prolong III feeling between the different
sections Of the country. A gentleman Of Saco
recently received letter from an enterprising
firm In Southern city. requesting him to have
certain machine made for them, and eujoining
upon him strictly not to let It's destination be
known, as they had been informed that North
ern mschinists refused to do work for Southern
ers. The gentleman promptly replied that he
wonld execute their commission, but informed
them that Northern men did not care for the
opinions or the residences Of their customers,
provided they received their pay for their work.
This is . fair specimen Of the meanness and
falsehood by which the Democratic party arc
striving to delay reconstruction, and to ride into
power.
