THE SONG OF THE COPPEBHEAD.
Yes down with Abe Lincoln,
No peace let him know ;
Jeff, Davis esteems him
His bitterest foe,
And says butTor him,
He can easily show, '
This war would have ended
A long while ago.
Yes! the war would have ended,'
And'we should ha been
The Unitedcst States
As ever was seen.
We'd ha' paid the South's debts
Not to do so were menn
I3ut as for the North'fl,
We'd not been so green.
Had any resisted,
Odd bullets and triggers.
We'd a1 lent Vm a rope
To lengthen their figgers,
And sent 'em to Heaven.
Or elsewhere, by jiggers;
Whilst we'd been below
A wa Hopping niggers.
Yes, there are the beauties
The future will bring,
When McClellan 's dictator,
Or JefF. Davis king ;
Then down with Abe Lincoln,
Or high in air swing,
While "peace, peace,"' is the tune
OfthcEong we will sintr.

A SPEECH BY COLONEL ULcKZ&X.
A : tt:

held inside and outside of the Cooper In
stitute, in New York, on Tuesday even
ing, Col. James B. McKean, of the 77tli
New York Regiment, being introduced
by the chairman spoke as follows r ;
The speaker said that when he was a
boy he frequently wished that he had
been born about the middle of the last
century, so that he could at least have
witnessed, if not taken part, in the" great (
drama which led to the foundation of this"
republic. But now he was content to
have lived in times greater even than
those, by as much as the temple is great
er than its foundation. He thanked
God that he had so far recovered from

able now, for
ui. A n
the second time in two
years,
to stand up aud speak his mind
upou the subject. Just prior to the out
break ot the rebellion he was a member
of Conirress. One day in the summer of
18G0, some one said to Dr. Iliudman, of
y Arkausas, in the speaker's hearing,
"rTinrlimin. what is the matter: who has
satisfied that such was the purpose of cer-
ta;n mea 0f the South, but you are the
first X have ever heard to admit it." He

t crce every citizen who resisted the exe
cution of its laws- Applause J. Alter-
ward I deemed it my duty to do some
thing. Accordingly, I went with a regi
ment into the Army of the Potomac.
After being held in check for six months
under Geueral McClellan, by an enemy
one-quarter- our. uuuibers, and who van
ished as we advanced to meet them, we
made a flank movement and went down
to Yorktown. There we halted a month,
more than 100,000 strong, before an ene
my that numbered just 7511, upon the
authority of Pollard, the rebel historian.
Then, we moved slowly up the Peninsula,
and waited for the Chicahominy to rise.
At length, after a scries of reverses, the
Youu,r Napoleon had to change his base
to thcC James. Laughter. Ah, me! is
there in all history so melaucholy a fail
ure as that of Geu. McClellan 'i Voices.
"No, no, no." What is there of his ca
reer but this oue tradgedy of five acts ?
Act 1. Held iu check six months by
one quarter his force; advances and finds
wooden guns but no foe. Act 2. Halts
a whole month with more than 100,000
men before 7511 men at Yorktown. Acto.
After the battle of Williamsburg, allows
his army to remain five days on the battle-field
while the enemy retreat; then a
week on the Pamunkey at the White
House while the enemy fortify Kich

hominy, waiting for it to rise'. Act 4.

Clellan Dragoons," were, it will he remem
bered, merged, upon the retirement of Mc
Clelan, into the Twelfth Illinois Cavalry
Read the following extract from a letter re
ceived yesterday in this' city from an officer
in the Twelfth, who was a member ot tho
old "Dragoons;" Tribune.
I wish I wa6 home to enlist myself heart
and soul in the coming campaign. My be
lief is as strong as ever iii" the McClellan of
the old Arniy of the Potomac, but ie can ne
ver have our support with the backers he sur
rounds himself with ; or upon the platform
on which he stands. We are unanimous
here that peace can only be had at the point
of the bayonet and in the complete subjuga
tion of traitors.
0C? Strongly significant of the popular
judgement is fact that the so called Demo
cratic candidates for President and Vice
President have undergone the most emphatic
rebuke in the communities in which they
have lived. Philadelphia, the birthplace of
General McClellan, has pronounced against
him by a majority of nearly eight thousand.
Cincinnati, the birthplace and home ofPen
dleton, has recorded his defeat in a majority
of ever six thousand. These figures amount
to a verdict against the Democratic candi
dates. The jury which decided upon their
merits are the citizens among whom they
are best known who had the strongest
local and personal interest in their election;
What shall be said of candidates for the
Presidency who fail to receive any majority
whatever among their home friends and near
neighbors? This fact contains an important
lesson, which honest hut misguided men. who
have purposed to vote the Democratic ticket
from a mere sentiment or favoritism, should
lay to heart.
07" Long John Wentworth, of Chicago,
is making some telling campaign speeches
in Illinois. Here is a point of bison the sla
very qffeation :
"The friends of slavery contend it is ar
divine institution, arfd that a delegate to the
Chicago1 6onvention told him he beJived it
originated with God, who would protect it.
'Well,' said Long John, 'this enggfEted a
new idea, and 1 sid to him',- then let us
leave it to God. Fellow citizens, I go for
that. Let us leave this institution of God to
God. The Fugitive Slave law is repealed,
and now if a nigger runs away, lam for let
ting him run till God brings him back., "
