Committee. Wl . . L .. , - _1 i. TBE COPPERHEADS AND LORD LYONS. We called attention it* our issue of last week, to the dispatch of Lord LYONS, of the ITth of November last, and to the disclosures it contains affecting the loyalty ot the demo cratic party,and promised to continue tbe sub ject, calliDg attention to the, prime object of the conservative leaders in their interviews with the British embassador, and in making known to him their hostility to the war, and the means through which they hoped to hum ble the Government, and force it to yield to the Slave holder's rebellion. The quotation we theu gave from the dispatch, exhibits the democratic chiefs of New York, making known to the representative of a hostile Court, their desire that the war should end in our humilia tion, and at the cost of a disruption of the Republic ; but the time had not arrived when they conid prudently avow that desire. For the present they mast clsmor loudly for a more vigorous prosecution of the war, and Beek to shake public confidence in the administration by charging want of energy and success in its military operations. The grand purpose of the Copperheads iu their conference with Lord LYONS, as appears the whole tenor of his dispatch, was to ad rise the Eoglish Government through him, of tbe time when, and the circumstances under which, foreign powers could most successfully interveue, and compel the country to a dis honorable peace. It will be seen in the ex tract from his- Lordship's dispatch which we give below, that the democratic leaders feared intervention might come too soon ; and that England might be foremost in it, and thereby arouse anew the war spirit of the country, to more herculean and determined efforts against both the rebellion and the intervening powers, The Grst step in the treasonable programme i of the Copperhead Chief*, is to secure an ar- | mistice. The war, say they, should have for its aim and end, not the subjugation of the traitors in arms, but should be prosecuted with the view of placing the Government in a posi tion where it could honorably demand an ar mistice. " They were well aware," says Lord LYONS " that tin armistice would probably result in the establishment of Southern inde ! pendence, which they held preferable to a pros ecution of a cruel and hopeless war." Our readers will keep in mind, that the chiefs of the democratic party, in the chief and central city of the Uuion, songht interviews : with the accredited representative of a power- ' fnl and hostile nation, for the purpose of lay- I ing b2iC r e him, and through him the Govern ment from which he came, their treasonable plans and purposes iD relation to the life strug gle in which their country is engaged. They not only knew, but intended, that their views should be transmitted to the Cabinet at Lou don, for the purpose of influencing its action in harmony and in co-operation with their disloy al plans. They gave, through Lord LYONS, assarance to tho English Premier, that inter vention by foreign Powers was desirable, and would be accepted when their party should come into power, but they feared it might come too soon; it would be nnfortunate for England, hy reason of the hostile feeling of our people towards her, to be forward or prominent in the movement. If intervention should come dur ing the preseut Administration, and especially if it came from England, it would de'eat the plans of these traitors and strengthen the pa triotic feeling of the country. It would aronse afresh, and with augmented force, the war spirit of the nation, thereby defeating the schemes of these democratic traitors. We quote from his Lordship's dispatch : " Several of the leaders of the democratic party sought Interviews with me. hath before and after the arrival of the intelligence of General McC ellan's dismissal. The subject uppermost in their minds while they were speak ing was naturally that of mediation between the North and the South. Many of thetn seemed to think that this mediation must come at last; but they appeared to be very much afraid of its coming too soon. It was evident that they apprehended that a premature proposal of for eign intervention would afford the radical party means of reviving the violent war spirit, and ol thus defeating the peaceful plaus of the conservatives. They appeared to regard the present moment as peculiarly unfavorable for aucu an offer, and, indeed, to hold that it would be essential to the success of any proposal from abroad that It should be deferred until the control of the executive government should be iu the hands of the conservative party."' " It Is with reference to such an srm'stice as they de •irc to attain that the leaders of the conservative party regard the question of foreign mediation. They think that the offer of mediation, it made to a radical adminis tration, would be rejected ; that if made at an unpropi tious moment, it might increase the virulence with which the war is prosecuted. If their own party were in pow er, or virtually controlled the administration, tbey would rather, if possible, obtain an armistice, without the aid of foreign governments ; but they would" be disposed to ac cept an offer of mcdiatiuu if "it appeared to be the only means of putting a stop to hostilities. Thev would do stre that the offer should come from the great Powers of hurope conjointly, and .u paruc.-'- ,uat as little prom .nence as po;Ule should be given .0 Great Britain." Here indued, is a disgusiing dish of trea son and hypocrisy. Americans bom, plotting with the embassadors of our ancient and ever eoDstant enemy. Intriging against the country which has nourished tuem, aud under whose flag, they have growu to distinction, if not to honor. We wish we bad space to give the whole letter, that the reader might more fully see the ikame and guilt of the policy of the democra tic party. There is not, there cannot be, a true and loyal American, who would not resist t the last, the interference of the European Powers To "the waf forced open canse, by the slave holding Aristocracy of the Sooth. No faithful son of the Repablic, could view without indignation, the iraniftstioo of bis Country, in her honr of trial, by the armed despotism of the old World. Yet the Demo cratic leaders, encourage and invite such inter ference. They advise the British Minister as to the time when, and the mode in which such intervention can be most effective. They de sire it postponed until they shall have the Gov ernment in their own bands, and then advise that it come in the most fo'midable and imposing shape—tbe combined interference of all the European Powers of the first rank. They (the Democratic leaders), wonld desire, says Lord LYONS, " That it shonld come from tbe great Powers of Europe conjointly, and in par ticular, that as little promineuce as possible should be given to that of Great Britian." We have given the substance of the attempt of the " Democratic leaders to influence the policy of England, against our government, and in behalf of the rebels. Their desigo, as is fully apparent in this most extraordinary letter, was to persuade Great Britain to such a liue of action, as to encourage and sustain the rebellion, and weaken and embarrass ocr government. That their plottiDgs were treasonable in their motives, is clearly apparent. Tbey have not the technical requirements of that offence, but the criminal motive is fully exposed.— While these "Democratic leaders" could not be iudicted and convicted of treason, they are nevertheless guilty of a grave offence under an act passed in 1799, directed against those who "carry on intercourse with the agent of any foreign government," with a view " to defeat the measures of the government of the United States." It is the duty of the legal authori ties to God out these criminals, and briug them to punishment. Lord LYONS should be dis missed promptly, and with marked displeasure. Our Secretary of State forgets bis high duty to the Country, when he suffers near this gov ernment, in daily diplomatic intercourse, a minister who consorts with domestic traitors, and becomes the bearer of their treasonable schemes to his government at home. The Democracy of New York is in accord with that party in PenDyslvania, and in every other State. The chiefs there, are identical in feeling and sympathy with the leaders here.— The views they expressed to Lord LYONS, are the views of those everywhere who control that organization. We have those in our midst, not one whit better than the men who made the British Minister the conGdent of their treasonable plans. The recent arrest and prosecution of " Knights of the Goldeu Circle," in the County of Berks, proves beyond doubt, that every County in the State is in vested with traitors of the same kind. How is it possible to tolerate with any measure of allowance, the presence of such men ? They should be bold up to public scorn, and pointed at wherever they go, as enemies aud traitors. In times like those opon us, when cur very ex istance as a nation is in peril, our people can be divided into two classes only, the friends, and the enemies of the country. Those who are not for the war, are for a dishonorable peace, hich shall divide and destroy the couutry.— Those who are not in favor of supporting tho constituted authorities with the whole resources, military and Gnancial of the coun try, are in favor of the rebellion. They who assail and strive to break down the adminis tration of LINCOLN, are the friends and coad jutors of JEFFERSON DAVIS. There can be no middle ground, "Yo cannot serve GOD and Mammoa." MR. TRACY'S POSITION. The Argus asserts that Mr. TRACT is " as sailed—secretly and openly—and attempts are being made to hold him in a false light, and destroy his iufluence in advance." The readers of the Reporter will bear us witness that our columns have borne ample and cheer ful testimony to Mr. TRACT'S coarse as a con sistent Republican, up to the time he struck hands with the Democratic leaders, aud sought and obtained a nomination from the Demo cratic Congressional Conference. And even after he had surrendered to the seductions of the Democracy, aud became their willing tool to divide the Republicans, we were loth to be liere that Mr. TRACY had falsified all his pre vious public career, and apostatized from the Republican faith. But if Mr. TRACY stands now in an ambig aons or false position, it is his own fault. He has the power to set hiujaelf right before the public. He has sallied his good reputation by coalition with the Democrats, ne has been elected by their votes. We are loth to believe that he has renounced all his former opinions, and become a convert to Democratic fallacies. We are not willing to believe that he has basely betrayed the principles he once held, for the sake of Democratic votes. If such sospicions justly attach to him, it is his own fault. He has utterd no word, which could give offence to his new-found political friends and associates. The once bold, ont spekou man becomes suddenly dumb as to po litical affairs, —and is seemiDgly conscious of bat one question— The. Tonnage Tax. We trust that Mr. TRACT will be foond act ing in Congress, with the most zealous and cor dial supporters of the National administration. Judging him by his antecedents, we should be justified in such an expectation. But it is yet to be seen what he is to render for the Dem ocratic support he received last fall. If bis jcareer is a consistent one, we shall be pleased to do him full justice in the future, as we have jn the past. Mr. TRACT hatnljpadj destroyed his own repucatioc aad with the Republican* of the state and couoty by his coalition with the Democracy last fall. He is Dot " assail ed—secretly and openly"—because such as auks are not necessary. He has his political reputation to regain—his inflnence to boild up. If he pursues a course consistent with his previous career, the Republicans of Brad ford will at least award him credit for that, though he will unquestionably lose his t Demo cratic frieDds. Iu the meantime,if Mr. TRACY would not stand in a false position, the way is open and easy for hrm to dispell all the doubts and suspicions raised by the manner of his election last fall, and give assurance to the Republican* of the District that he still holds the great principles of Freedom. UNION VS. COALITION. "We have no expectation of making the Editor of the Argus, the scribblers for that paper, nor the leaders in the people's move ment, compreheud the difference between an honest union of men for the advancement of common political principles, and a base coali tion of disappointed office-seekers, soured pol iticians and ambitious men with their political opponents, for the sole purpo.-e ol nvvir-* out personal schemes of aggrandizmeik. Their instincts are too sordid and their motives too merceuary, to see the distinction, as broad as it is. Hence the Argus is continually harping upou the appeals we have made, (and shall continue to make) to unite the loyal voters everywhere, in oue political organization, and the support of the same principles and the same candidates. We reiterate every word we have ever written iu support of such a course. We believe there should be but one party —the party of the Country. But be cause we desire this, it does not blind us to the fact that the great body of the Democrat ic party of the North is arrayed against all the measures of the National Administrate n, misrepresenting the acts of the P" lent, de riding the conduct of the war, and in many sections committing treason ly counselling open opposition to the measures which have been adopted by 'he Government as Lest cal culated to put dowr this unholy reb< Hi'*".. That there are many members of the Dem ocratic party, who do not endorse all the acts of the leaders, we believe ; but hoic stands thr Party, as a Party ? We have a right to judge it, by the declarations of the leaders and the tone of its leading journals. It needs no proof to show the fact that there has b< en manifested from the first a persistent disposi tion to thwart and embarrass the Administra tion in its struggle with the armed traitors of the South That the leaders of fhe Democra cy are iu sympathy with the leaders of the re bellion cannot be denied. Witness Lord Ly ons' revelations—witness the abuse heaped npon Yaxßcrkn and Brady, by the Demo cratic journals, because they have riren above party and spoken for the Union. Witness the tone of the Democratic papers throughout the country, disparaging our successes, and our ef forts, and parading with avidity every para graph calculated to discourage the country, aud disgust the people with the war, and the plan of operations in the field. The Democratic leaders of this County, are noted for their subserviency to Party. No sane man expects them to give up their party or ganization or to revolt at any measures which the Party resolves upon. They are wary and vigilant, watching for an opportunity to deal a damaging blow to Republican principles.— Hence the readiness with which they embrace the leaders of tho People's party. They see in that movement an opportunity to effect what they have desired for years. But in lending their aid to carry out the scheme to divide the Republicans is there any indication that they intend to abate one iota of their love for the party, or give np their hatred for the principles for which we have contended for years ? If there was any evidence of 6uch a disposition, then there wonld bo some reason in the statements of the Argus and some pro. priety in the fusion made 'vi'h them. When we see the Democratic leacic.. V- up their adhesion to the Democratic organization, and cordially supporting the war, and the meas ures of the government to put down the re bellion, we shall be prepared to unite with them in that great party of the Country to which every patriot should belong. We ask oar Republican friends throughout the County, who may feel disposed to favor this People's movement. Do yoa" discover amongst the active Democrats any disposition to moet with you cordially, upon a common platform of support to the measures of the Administration, which you deem so necessary to a successful prosecution and early termina tioQ of the war ? Do you discover any mani festations that the Democratic organization is to be given up? Are you aware of any change la the sentiments of thc-se me.., which brings you naturally and properly i affiliation with them ? Do you believe that tney have so changed in opinion?, that yen can act with them, in p. "loting what you desire to see suc cessful ? TL -e are questions .. h every Republican ponder, it the P-r.- r c* •. 7 remains as virulently opposed to the National Administration as ever—if tbey are as ready to heap opprobrium and ridicule upon all its measures—if tbey have words of accusation for the North and are silent as southern trait ors—if they persist in keeping up an organiz ation which at best occupies a dubious posi tion—how can you act with them, without damaging all your professions and advancing principles and schemes hostile to those you Wv uld see triumphant ? The difference between the People's move ment and what we wonld bring aboat is this : We would unite the loyal men of the eoootry, in one organization, standing npon a common platform of onwavering, unqualified support of the war, and of all the measures adopted to successfully prosecute it. Wo would unite that party in the support of the same State and County Ticket. Ths programme of the People's party looks to a mere coalition with Democrats upon the County ticket. There is to be no meeting npon a common platform. — The Democrats are to remain as virulently hoi tile to the war—to the National Administra lion, and all its measures military, and finan cial, as ever. But impelled by a common ha tred of Republicanism they are asked to joic with the People's party in support of Couuty officers. They will do so if they can aid the Democratic State Ticket and forward the over throw of Republican principles. s The leaders of the People's party propose to coalesce aud fraternize with men, who are supporting the Democratic State Ticket, and laboring to give the State over to Democratic misrule. We do not propose to do any such thing. We shall be found acting witb the great Republi can or Union party of the State in support of a candidate for Governor who will lend all the energies of this great Commonwealth to the support of the General Government aud the restoration of the Union. The result of the election in this State, this fall is of the utmost consequence. If we elect a Republican Gov ernor, the resources of the State will continue to be devoted to the Union cause If a Dem ocratic Governor is elected, it will be consid ered as a yerdict of the people, against the war, a rebuke of the National Administration, and its measures, and will place the State in the bauds of the men who have already shown their purposes, in their communications with Lord LYONS. Can Republicans fraternize and act with Democrats without doing injustice to their State Ticket ? Can they meet at the polls in support of a Couuty ticket, and not damage their State Ticket ? If they can it will pre flcut an unusual aud anomuiou3 result. The Democrats kuow better. They, know that if a fight can be gotten ■ p in the Republican ranks, that they are to be the gainers. They know that a:i exusperated aud excited family f.ud will inevitably tend to strengthen their cause. And they will act, on election day, as best promotes their own interests. THE LATEST WAR NEWS. A rumor was current at Nashville that Gen. Bragg had been shot and instantly killed at Tullahoma, on Sunday, by Gen. Breckinridge. Hilton Head correspondence represents the monitors and the army there as ready for an other movement, and indeed there seems to be one actually in progress. He says that before the close of this [last] week ail the iron-clads will be again over the bar at Charles ton, and an attack must soon come off—this lime in co operation with the land forces. The Rebels are bard at work strengthening their land defenses islands south of Charles ton. From Nashville we have news of the cap tnre of a force of Rebel Cavalry known as the Texas Legion, numbering 128 men, including eight commissioned officers. The affair took place eight miles south of Franklin, Tenn., where the Legion was suddenly surrounded by 250 Union Cavalry, commanded bv Col. Wat kins of the 6th Kentucky. The Rebel Col. was taken, but managed to escape. Five Reb els were mortally wounded : no casualties on our side. Warm weather and the roads improving is all we hear from Hooker's army. The news from New Orleans is most impor tant and encouraging. Geu. Banks has done able service in that region. A severe battle was fought on Friday, the 17ih iust., at the Vermillion Bayou, in which, after a hard con test with the rebel batteries and a strong force of infantry, our troops gaiued a complete success, driving the enemy from his position, rupturing his guns, and taking fiftecu hundred prisoners. In addition to this the batteries i at Bute la Rose were silenced by our fleet, the valuable salt works of Petite Anse, which supplied the whole interior with this indispen sable article, were captured, and a number of the rebel boats were destroyed, during the ex pedition of Gen. Banks into the Bayou Teche region Thus the finest po. tion of Louisiana is at the command of the union forces, and rebel lion iu that quarter ir tottering. Meantime the attack upon Cape Girardeau. Mo., by the rebels, under Marmaduke, has not only proved a failure, but a severe defeat for the enemy. After a fight of three hours with General McNeill they were gloriously repulsed. Reinforcement? of men and gun boats reached McNeill during the fight, and he is now in a position to maintain himself against another attack. At last accouutsthe enemy was still rctreatiDg. Our loss iu killed and wounded was only twenty From Tennessee we learn that General Bragg is in occupy ion of Manchester with a large army. Some ueserters state that the Kentucky, Tennessee and Missouri troops ID Bragg's army have lately beea very mutinoos, and muah trouble has been experienced iu put ting it dowu. The Tennesseeans, it is said, laid down their armes, refusing to do duty. Our news from Key West is to the 13th inst. General Woodbory is in command at that post. An expedition to Bavport, on the west coast of Florida, with seveu of our gun boats, resulted in their withdrawal out of a narrow creek, where they could not operate, but not until they stood a heavy fire from the 'rebel batteries, and had the satisfaction of eeeiog a rebel schooner, laden with cotton, turpentine and rosin destroyed by the bands of the enemy. . • v - MR. EDITOR. —I notice a writer in the last Argus, who signs himself " Observer," makes a desperate attack on our late Congress for passing a resolution distributing certain books and documents which are now stored at Wash ington, and not belonging to any library, or for the use of any public iuStitotion. The correspondent of the Argus is not a close " observer," or be would know that our last Congress has done in oistribnting those documents just what every Congress before them had doue. The resolution itself shows this fact, by reserving all books and docu ments heretofore ordered for distribution by Congress. Not only Congress, but I believe every State Legislature make just such distri bution through the members. I suppose the " observer" of the Argus did not intend to say, that every member ever elected to any legislative body, had committed " one of the most astounding swindles ever perpetrated by public officers," because he had received pub lic bocks, documents, newspapers ; yet 6ucb is bis reasoning. Every intelligent observer knows that avast amount of useless and cumbersome documents collect iu the public 6tore rooms: at Washing ton, and that the practice has been to distrib. ute them through the Senators and members of Congress. Ido not say that this is the best plan that could be devised for their dis tribution, but it has been the practice ever since the formation of our government, and I see no propriety in making such an attack on our last Congress. No one loses by the remo val of those documents, and some may be ben efitted by the distribution. Mr. Editor : I think the article iu the Ar gus an insidious one ; written with design to traduce the last congress. Tho last congress, 1 or at least e majority of them,were active and l energetic in passing laws to sustain our be loved government. No congress before them I ever deserved more credit for good acts, and ' none were ever more bitterly assailed by the malignity of open and hidden traitors. Know. ! ing this to be the case, I do not feel disposed I to let the article in the Argus pass without a notice. At a time when every prominent ofii ! c-er and faithful agent of our government is re I eeiving unmeasured almse from traitors and sympathizers with rebellion, it is the duty of j every lover of his country to raise his voice, or use his peu, however feeble, iu their de fence. CANDID OBSERVER. MB. EDITOR : —The caucus of the Peoples' Party was held at Herrickville, April 25th, and it was astonishing to see what a turn out It was a fair representation of the People's j Party of this township. There were just four I persons in attendance, three former republicans i and 0"e Democrat. The large meeting was t comfortably accomodated in oue corner of a I school room, delegates were unauimously elect ' ed, and then adjourned I suppose Herrick will have the name of being represented in the Peoples' convention at Towanda, but I can assure you that her I Republicans are sound, and will not lend them | selves to the schemes of the disorganizers, nor will they help the Copperheads in anv way.
