Snakes in the Grass.

- SAA
The copperhcad press is becoming
more venomous as the days pass. The
snake-in-the-grass policy of certain
newspapers that weakened the admin
istratiOn of President Lincoln is the
policy of certain Democratic newspa-
rers now. The people are told that 'if
the Washington authorities We're to
disclose as much vigor in the prosecu-
ton of war as in ealing for troops some
progress would be made;'' that the
Washington authorities show a marvel.
Gus disinclination to prosecute the
war;" that ''as nearly half the Sena-
tors were in the military service in ev-
cry position from private to Major
General the body ought to be we'll ill.,
formed upon military matters and
have very little sympathy with the pro-
crastinating conduct Of the war under
the constitutional cOmmander-in-chief,
who has for his principal assistant Ma
Jor General Miles, under whom not a
blow has yet been struck by Our mill
tary forces"
These paragraphs are echoes, OF the
copperhead u%tterances that We're meant
to destroy the government in 1861 and
1850. They rank with the inexcrSable
attacks OF Lincoln, having for their
purpose the securing of n partisan adj
vantage ut the expense of the country.
They are not quite so reasonable as
We're the declarations put forward thir.
ty-flve years ago to eXasperate the PEG.
pie with those who were conducting
the war, but they are just as nreason
able and inexcusable.

many eN-soldlers in the Senate. well in
formed on military matters, that body
is in sympathy with the war policy Of
the administration. Happily. their eff
forts to foment public discomfort have
begun too early. In view of what is to.
be done in the next few weeks, they
are likely to be engaged soon in spill-.
ing their w guns. They may be anx-
ious to have the government hurry
matters with the idea thatrashnessand
misfortune would help the Democratic
party in the November elections; but

the surface is blown ashore when the.
