The Copperhead.

BY JOHN HOPELY.
Or all the factlOus men we've seen,
Existing now or long since dead,
No one was ever known 80 mean
As him we call q cOpperhead;
draft cvading cOpperheadS
rebel aiding c0pperhead;
A growing, slandering,
ScOwling, pandering
Vicious, State rights cOpperhead.
From him the decencies OF life
And all Its cOurteSies have fed;
He lives in fretful factiOus strlie.
A testy, tOuchy copperhead;
negrO-fearing cOpperhead;
A rebel-cheering cOpperhead;
An unlearned, unlocked,
Oft spurned, oft whipped,
DOughfaced, cringing cOpperhead.
When "save the Union" was the CRY.
And thousands for the Union bled,
The nations right he did deny
To save itself-this cOpperhead;
A Son OF Liberty cOpperhcad;
A Golden Circle cOpperhead;
A scheming, lying,
Screaming, flying,
Mean, Canadian copperhead.
When Southern miscreants designed
Their helpless prisoners blood to shed,
And Libby Prison undermined,
Who then approved? The c0pperhead;
The soldier shooting cOpperhead:
The patriot hOoting cOpperhead;
Inc war ABUSING,
Aid refusing,
Crime excusing copperhead.
Who scofYed at Pillows bloody fray
And Andersonville's murdered deadS
Who victory's hour did long delays
The trait0rous, treacherous cOpperhead;
The crime creating c0pperhead;
AssasSnatlng copperhead;
The strife exciting,
Wrath inviting. nI
Death delighting copperhead.
When widows mourn their lonely lot
And orphan children wept their dead,
Who said their just deserts they gOts
The Northern rebel copperhead
The widow libclling c0pperheady
The grief deriding copperhead;
The false, cOnspiring,
City firing
Booth admiring copperhead.
Nor woman's grief nor orphans tears.
Nor even nations honored dead,
Are sacred from the jibes and sneers
OF every brutal coppefhead;
Each church aspersing cOpperhead;
Each preacher cursing c0pperhead;
Each Union hating,
War creating,

They also had another rule

We always had The cash on hand

While democratic men did rule
Our income was SO great
We had q ''surplus revenue"

The people then were rich and gay,
With plenty were content,
And every patriot did say
God bless our government.
CHoRus-Then our--taxes, DC.

More than we can figure,
And they will make 1t bigger yet,
In bureaus for the niger;
For now one-half OF oil we make
With plow, or spade, or taxes,

CHoRUs-Now, hign--taXes--

When tn sulphurOus storm on Sumter broke
The people in their wrath awOke.
And, moved as by impulse divine.
The patriot hearts swung into lines

And all day long naught heard ne
But cannon, cun-nOn, cannon,

Unpleasant to the traitors ear.
The crimson war came surging on.
And death, his CHASTITY steed upon,
Rode to the iron to guide the light.

Then hid himself behind u tree,
And then, persplrng, naught heard no
But can-nOn CANNON cannon,

Unpleasant to the copper ear.
That man, before the fight began
General Neutrality-suspicious.
His war on melons then did cease,
And, putting on tie garb Of peace,
Over the border found tree
To watch and wait while heard he

o sound OF fear
Unpleasant to Val's quaking ear.
Then cunning Seymour basely bid
The rOgues in cells and cellars hid
TO riot wild the homes upon

Then, frightened by their deyiItry.
Behind Old Butler straight hid he.

Then voorhees,, In the dread midnight,
With lanterns dark did sOlS unite,
And swOre to Ope' the prison pen
Aid murder helpless wives and men.
But voorhees, lacked the nerve, you see,
To carry out his deviltry
Oh! cannon, cannon, cannon,

Then tender-hearted Thurman sought
The camp, when rebs In rags were brought
Their rags with PATRIOTS blood all red
And gave them garments, wine and bread.
When boys in blue the Judge ID see,
Behind the pettic0ats hid he.
Obi can non, cannon, cannon,

Unpleasant to the Judges car.
And all the while our boys In blue
In battles swung our eagles through
The sulphury clouds. Death on them rafned,
Till hard. learned victory peace proclaimed.
Then stole the traitor from the tree,
Bold as brass, for naught heard he

And now, from every swamp and hole,
They swarm in crowds to take control,
To WELD I'm peace the land they hate

To hide behind the towards tree
When.wild war held It's revelry

Hono1s to the,Dead.

"On to-day, there will be more OF
less general effort to decorate the
graves offederal toldiors.
This movement is not spontane-
GUS one, but it is tho result of an or.
der issued by Mr.. John A. Logan.
who occupies a position Of some prom
inence in secret political associa.
ton known as the Grand Army OF
the Republic. 1t is perhaps fortu-
nate for the graves of the federal
dead, that Mr.. Logan did not contin-
ue firm in the faith which he pro-
fessed in 186C-'61. Had he done SO,
the order, if he had issued one at all,
would have been for the decoration
Of the graves Of the confederate
dead"
We clip the above paragraph from
the Chicago Times of Saturday last,
and hasten to give it the credit for
ono more honest confession. 1t tru-
Iy says that had Gen. Logan remain
ed true to the principles Of Democra-
cy which he advocated in go, he
should never have issued such on or
der, or if he had, it would have been
for the decoration of the graves Of
the Confederate dead. This is true.
But Gen. Logan, when he discovered
that to remain longer in connection
with the Democratic party, was to
remain in the camp of treason and
disunion, Immediately evacuated,
shaking the dust of rebellion from
his feet, and marched straight into
the Union, along with Douglas and
thousands of other loyal Democrats,
and since that time, with them has
done valiant service in the field and
at home in the ranks Of the party of
freedom.
