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.

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.
