If the Copperheads had passed the copper
tariff bill, it would have been consistent
enough with their well known general princi-
pie OF doing whatever may be expected in any
way to affect uufavorably any branch OF ma

is direct blow at the already PROSTATE ship

with great satisfaction that the votes of all her
Representatives are recorded against it. 1t is
now before the Senate, where there is happy
possibility that it may find a grave.
