for the great crime they committed.
Had the so-called democratic party
only succeeded in this great State, in
the late election, what, would have
been the consequences'to the national
governorent? Why, simply this, that
George W. Woodward would have
been able, as lie was certainly willing,
to withdraw, onr armies,' North i of
Mason and: ; Oixorra line, and re called
our blockading fle|ta.
It is true be could not do this hints

this great commonwealth, he bad it
ingis power.to have paralysed tho'ef
-forts of the Government, by withhold
ing men and means to carry on the
war, and of throwing such obstacles
in,the way of the President.as do en j
tirSly cripple him. Not Content with j
' the verdict of itjie people, this Geo |
W. Woodward and his two copper j
head associates who hatfe control on I
the bench of, the Supreme Court of-|
rhis Slate, have-given their opinion;
that the Conscription Act -was a vip-}
lalion of the' Constitution,, and
that no armies except to repel itiva

/the nature of things, such.men cannot
be in favor of the war. if they oppose

E We claim thkt it is ardehmipii, and in*

/Copperhead Democracy is ’ based oil

In view of all these things, it is
clearly the part of wisdom tor those

heavy loss.' .

drawal of Ewing from tbe south side
of Knoxville, is decisive of a rcpnlse.

under instructions from Grant, it
is not to bo supposed, therefore, that
the forces under Thomah, Hooker and
Sberinan are wasting their time dur
ing these momentous days. We'arc
in hourly expectation of receiving
the most important
character.
