COPPERHEAD ELOQUENCE.
[Selected from speeches made in Chicago, by Copperhead
orators in attendance opon the “ National Democratic
Convention.”]
“ Hon.” Mr. Reed of Indiana said:
“He advised open and above-board resist
ance to the draft. If Lincoln ,-and his satraps
attempted to enforce it blqod would flow-in
our streets, and it wonld be right it should
flow. Lincoln was already damned to all eter
nity, and be did not know if even this iniq
uitous measure wonld materially affect the es
timation in which jthe people held him. He bad
taken considerable pains to inform himself of
the opinion of the' people in relation to this
draft, and be found it altogether condemned.—
There was bnfone opinion in this matter, and
that was, if the draft was not enforced, there*
would be., peace. Mr. Lincoln had tried war
for three - years; be bad qlain our people by
countless thousands,, and blood bad been shed,
to float the largest ship of war in the world,—
He said we might as' well make op our minds
to the fact that it was impossible to whip the
Sooth". He advised bis hearers to shoot down
those who would enforce the draft; to insist
npon the right of tho writ of habeas corpus;
to resist to the. bitter end the' attempt to make
the military power superior to the civil, and to
openly arm themselves, that they might be
prepared for terrible contingences.”
■ .Mr. C-Chauncey Burr said;
“ Yon cannot have the face to ask the South
to come back into the Union until -you with
draw your marauding army.'
•“is there a man in this audience that wants
to have one-half of the States conquered and
subjected ? (,Nq.') "When -this is done you
have' ended the government. After three years,
of "War, who are conqnerd, yon or' the South'?
I say you are conquered. You cannot conquer
the South, and f pray God you never may.”
James S,. Rollins of Missouri said:
“ I love our Southern friends; they are a
brave ,and a chivalrous people [[cheers], al
though they are trying to break up the gov
ernment;, and however much. 7 we-may bate
them, we. must remember that they are our
countrymen; and cannot be subdued so long as
w’e insist upon depriving them of their rights.”
' The Rev. J. A; MoMaster said:
: “ Show me a Wat Democrat ’to-day, and I
will show you a shoddy-Ab'olitioniet in disguise.
A man who is in favor of this unnatural war
insults the holy name of Democracy .when be
claims a place in its. organization. He is as
Judas,‘an'd should be oast out as an enemy to
humanity and to God; War, and - blood, and
rapine, and qiurder,.is the legitimate business
of the Lincoln, minions.- We wash our hands
clean of all participation in it.
“ But we are-told that we must,be' forced to
, carry arms in this unholy fight. Soon the net
Is to be drawn that will gather in its half-mil
lion more to feed the'insatiable thirst for blood
for tho negro God. Let us demand a cessation
of the sacrifice until the people shall pronounce
their great and emphatic verdict ■ for peace,
and let the tyrant understand that the demand
comes from earnest men and must be respected,
“We are often called the ‘ Ccterrlfied'.’ I
trust you are. I hope that-yoar nerves may be
of steel, for thei;e iaa day of trial coming, and
you must meet it. There will be Provost Mar
shals, who will sneak into your family circles,
and spy into your domestic relations, and per
haps cast you into an Abolition hostile. Then I
trust to find you ‘ unterrified’ indeed. Let not
the.threats of bayonets or greenbacks of this
Heaven-cursed Administration frighten,
but if you are to die, die as becomes men, in
a struggle for your rights; live not as becomes
slaves. In the platform of the Convention to
morrow we shall have embodied the glorious
end-sublime doctrine of peace."
“ Hon.” Mr. Curtis of New York said;
“ I trust the day will never come when the
scenes' witnessed in the Commonwealth of
Kentnoky (he means refusing to let rebels and
disunioniats swamp Union ballot-boxes with
their votes] will be enacted on this soil. But,
if that day should come, before God and in the
sight of Heaven, I would invoke the 'aid of
counter revolution (loud cheers). A people
who submit to that degree of outrage and tyr
anny which destroys the character of their lib
erties, are not fitted to live and stand up as
men, but should lie down'and die as slaves.”
*" “’Capt.” Koontz of Pittsburg said:
- •' Lincoln was now ployed Out, the: opposi
tion to him was going to bo bold and powerful,
COPPERHEAD SNEAKS. ’
there must be no underhand work, and if Dem
ocrats catch Lincoln’s b—y satrap spies among
them, they must cut their d—d throats, that’s,
all (applause). It is the duty of every Ameri
can to vote for a peace candidate. Shall more
’wives be made widows, and more children fath
erless, and greater hate be stirred up between
children of the same glorious Constitution? Jf
not, we must put our foot on the tyrant’s neck,
and destroy it. The Democratic government
most be raised to power,'and Lincoln, with his
Cabinet of rogues; thieves and spies’ he driven
to destruction! What shall we do- with him ?
(A voice—‘.Send him here, and -I’ll make a
coffin for him, d——n him.’) Yes, d——n him
and his.miserable followers. I should like to
see the noble .George B. McClellan as Presi
dent (cheers); and that great Democrat; Ho
ratio Seymour, should occupy the position of
Secretary of estate;" r
“ Hon." Mr. Trainor of Ohio said:
“ If you wish for peace, great, glorious peace,
vote for the nominee of the Democratic Conven
tion. Now the-President has called for 500,-
000 more. Shall be have them ? [‘No, No,’
from the audience.) The Democratic party
want peace ; for if we don’t get it we will have
to submit to a military despot.
“ He would urge the people to be freemen,
and hurl Abraham Lincoln and bis minions
from power. There is no difference between a
War Democrat and an Abolitionist. They are
both links in the same sausage made but of the.
same dog.' Should resistance be offered at the
polls to prevent oar suffrage, let that resistance
be met with resistance."
Mr. O. E. Perrins said :
“ Let us say to these States, come back with
all your rights, and not say to them as Abra
ham the first and Abraham the last [cheers]
has said, that you can ooin’a hack if yon will
give up yonr slaves [cheers]. We have been
told that the South bad no resources, that their
soldiers are naked and nnfed. If they fight
without anything to eat or wear, what in Clod’s
name will become of ns if they ever get any
thing to wear and eat [cheers.]
“ He said that Lincoln already felt insecure,
and that Mrs. Lincoln made him sleep on the
back aide.of the bed, against the wall, for fear
he would be gobbled up [cheers], hot. Mrs.
Pavis let Jeff, deep on the fore side and run
round loose [laughter and renewed cheers].
We ask that the people shall bow down to the
will of the people, and they have willed that
George B. McClellan shall be nominated and
elected [immense cheering]. Then we believe,.
one by ope, the stars wiU come back upon ear
banner, and believe that concern at'Washing
ton will be buried” [cheers].
iCaiah Bbynders said;
“He had denounced the unholy crusade
against oniu Southern brethren, oven, before
the first regiment was moved Southward. He
saw the inevitable result of war—the waste,
and blood, and tears it would entail, end to
this day he could say, and he said,it with pride
that he had never said' oneiword against the
brave, the noble, the generous, the, chivalrous
people of the South, and he trusted in God he
never wonld.
“ Nearly half a million of these noble men
had fallen in bloody graves, but they remain
nnconquered [cheers]. They can never be
subdued, as .they are a part of onr own flesh
and blood;[loud applause]. Millions more of
men may be. torn from their homes to fall in
the fight, but the task will fail, as it ought to
do. The war is carried on for the" nigger; and
in God’s name iet-the" Abolitionists fight it out.
We shall nominate our candidate on Monday,
and’plaoohim. squarely Upon a platform of
peace, and sweep the nation like a whirlwind.
Those who count upon a division of the Dem
ocratic party will be disappointed. We are.
one and all for peace, and with this magic
word upon our bauner we shall sweep over the
course, and roll into oblivion the black, negro
loving, negro-hugging worshippers of old Abe
Lincoln.”
Hon. Benjamin Allen of New York said .-
“The people.will soon rise, and.if-tbey can
not put Lincoln out of power ,by the ballot
they will by the bullet.” [loud cheers]. '
D. H. Mahoney of Dubuque, lowa, said-;
■- The aggression of the North, followed per
sistently for thirty years, compelled the South
to withdraw, much against their will. To get
[them back yon mnst repudiate the disgraceful
treatment they received, and tbrnstfrom power
the instruments of their attempted degreda-.
tion. We muatjeleot our candidate. and then'
-holding ont our—hands to the South, invite
them to come and sit again in our Union circle.•
[A voice—‘Suppose they won’t come?’]- If
they will not come to us, then I am in favor
of going to them [load cheers]. Our Consti
tution can be'made acceptable to them, and
7 then I have the assurance that they will re
turn and forget the past. You live in a day
when men and not pigmies are needed. These
are the times that try men’s souls, and I might
add, that they will try their nerves. I trust
that the Democracy, which has never yet failed
the country, will .not falter now ; but remem
bering the cause for which their fathers fought
and died, be ready to emulate their example.”
Hon. W. W. O’Brien of Illinois said:
“ Taking advaotage-of- an unholy war, they
ride rough-shod over the rights of all. .It has
snatched our sons from us to aid in forcing up
on us, these galling wrongs. Let us resolve
here to-night that he shall have no more white
blood to prosecute this damnable war.
“ Bnt we have men who call themselves War
Democrats ; men who for the sake of power
of pelf, went into the business of morder, and
soaking their bands in fraternal blood, they
hold them np to you, all dripping in gore, and

Letter from Daniel S. Dickinson.
Daniel S. Dickinson sends the following [ot
ter to a Union meeting at Erie, Pa;
Binghamton, N. Y., Sept. 13,1864.
"My Dear Sir ; —Your very kind’ Invita
tion to attend and address-a Union meeting in
your city on the 16th would induce me to ac-.
cept were it possibly consistent, bnt prior en
gagements willnot. permit, The Union forces
seem to lie quietly -massing for the contest, and
just now I am more amused over the exhibi
tions of our opponents, than I am concerned
for Union success. They held a peace conven
tion for, the peaceful, and signalized it by a
pitched battle on the floor, for the gratification
of the war element; they made a platform-for
the pacific, and placed npon it plumes, pistols,
and swords, and spears, epaulets and emblems
of bloodshed for the belligerents, and yet the
canee of peace, like that of its twin sister, true
love, does not run smooth. The platform does
not fit the candidate and he cannot wear it
without alterations. The alterations do not
salt the party and cannot be adopted, and just
now; the party, the platform, and the candi
date, are somewhat like .the hatchet, the staff,
and the kid, in the nursery rhyme, and the dis
appointed followers are crying, “ pray hatchet
back staff, staff won’t beat kid, kid won’t go.”
Thera seems to he hut one remedy. The peace
convention, by self creation, is, like original
sin, perpetual. Let it speedily reassemble its
party of peacemakers and select a cough suita
ble to its cold.
“ Sincerely yoors, D. S. Dickinson.”
Fqb and Against.— “ The Union must be
preserved at all hazards,” says General MoClel
an.' If these Southern States cannot be recon
ciled, says Mr. Pendleton, candidate on the
same ticket, “ I i could signalize their depar
ture. by tokens of love; I would hid them fare
well so tenderly that they would forever he touched
by the recollection of it.”
The Cleveland Herald neatly says that “ see
ing tha velocity with which the Chicago. Cop
perhead train is rnsbihg to destruction/Mc-
Clellan, the cautious railroad man, keeps his
eye on the warning—“ Don’t standion the plat
form.” I

From the 11th Pennsylvania Cavalry.
In the Field near Jones’s Landing, )
Va., September 30, 1864. )
Friend Cobb :—Tour correspondent rejoined
hia regiment for duty at Mt. Sinai Church, 17
August. We reported ta Gen.‘Warren, on the
Weldon railroad on the 19tfa, making the march
in the night. Our position was on Warren's
left, four miles above Beam’s station. At four
P. M., the rebels assaulted the sth corps with
some spirit, hut were repulsed with considera
ble lose. .The morning of the 21st they again
attempted to turn Warren’s left, bnt failed, be
ing‘evidently ignorant of onr position. Oar
brigade (Col. Spear) dismounted, and poured a
galling fire into their ranks, and sent them
back to their entrenchments in confusion, lea
ving their dead and wounded behind them, to
gether with a large number of prisoners.
- Next day the Ist and 2d divisions of the 2d
corps arrived by forced march from the ex
treme right at Deep Bottom, and went at tear
ing up the railroad. The 2d corps take great
prides in the title of “ Hancock’s Flying In
fantry.” Col. Spear took his brigade orf'a're
connoisance on the rebel right, driving the en
emy before- us two miles, with little loss to ei
ther party.
Next morning, Capt. B. B. Mitchell, with E,
F, and I companies, was detached and put at
the disposal of Gen. Miles of the 2d corps, a
gifted young *' star.” Capt. Mitchell moved
directly on Ream’s- station, Co. F in the ad
vance, driving the enemy before him, and hold
ing the position until Gen. Miles came up with
the infantry about noon, when Col. Spear uni
ted bis command with that of Gen. Gregg, who
also moved his cavalry to the Station, and the
whole body took position to protect the work
ing party. ‘ j.
Skirmishing commenced about S' o’clock, af
ternoon, and the cavalry became wfcmly en
gaged until dark, when the rebels withdraw.
About eigbt miles of the railroad trade was
destroyed. The rebel cavalry hang/ta our
Sank all day, but invariably refused battle. It
ia said that the reba were taking np the rails
in our advance, to save the iron. ' On the mjor
ning of the 26th, Wade Hampton, with two
divisions of dismounted; and all his mounted
cavalry, attacked Col. Spear’s' brigade of less
than 1000 men. The three companies under
Capt. Mitchell, being fully three, miles in ad
vance of supports, fell back to a position fav
orable for practical saber exercise if the enemy
should crowd os. But Hampton, ever cautious
where there ia danger of meeting on eqnal
terms, halted bis command and began to en
trench. Skirmishing commenced along the en
tire line. The rebel infantry tried to force onr
center, but were repeatedly repulsed with lose.
Sharpshooters bad a fair chance to operate all
day, and paid particular attention to artillery
horees %nd gunners. The 4th N. Y. Heavy
Artillery were-deployed in skirmish line on the
left flank, the cavalry moved to the rear, and
every man carrying a carbine was diamonnted
and set to throwing np a skeleton breastwork.
. The enemy, seeing what we were at, got a
battery in position to enfilade ns, and threw a
perfect shower of shell and shrapnel among us;
bat no one thought for a moment of leaving
his poet.
Ending he could not force our position by
any regular attack in line of battle,, the rebel -
Gen. Hill massed bia entire force, consisting of
his own corps and detachments from others,
and prepared to assault. At about SP. M., he
hurled his dense columns npon onr right. As
they came, yelling, on the doable-quick, every
musket and available piece of artillery was
brought to bear npon them, and all the engine*
ry of war answered in tones of thnnder the
, yells of the drunken savages. Ghastly chasms
ware tent in their ranks by the merciless fire
concentrated'npon~lbem, but they were closed
iup as the waves of the sea roll together. The
scene was awful beyond description. Every
nerve was strained to keep back the foe, bat in
vain. "We had to give way or go to Libby. 1
All onr artillery horses had been shot, and
so many of the gunners had fallen that details
from the heavy artillery were necessary to
work the guns, which were worked even while
a band to hand conflict was raging for the pos
session of them. *
Just before dark the rebs charged open oar
dismounted cavalry. Gen. Gregg had procured
brass Napoleons and placed them in po
sition to fake the advancing columns, fie or
dered uo lie low anji wait for the word to fire.
Whe.v the- rebels got within easy range the
word was given ; and in five minutes we had
driven every live rebel from the field. Und jr
cover flf the (flight both parties withdrew, tre
taking our wounded, the rebels leaving theirs
behind. Oar lose ivas-abont 2000, mainly pris
oners. The rebel loss in killed and wonnded
was equal to onr entire loss. My company
lost bat one man, William Roddy. I have no
list of casualties, or'l would send it to yon.
The only question in the army relating to
tfae election of a President of these United
States is, which of tfae candidates will make
himself snch in fact. We want no man for
President who will not cling to his entire au
thority over every foot of the national domain.
We want no man who has not the moral cour
age to assert his authority. Much less do we
want a man who fears to stand erect on his
platform. Why should not every soldier des
pise the man who, after leading an army thro*
the bloody campaigns of '62, says, by his plat
form, “ your experiment of war is hut a four
years of failure; come, let us sport the white
feather, and sell ourselves as faithful spaniels
to onr Southern masters!”
No 1 these times require true, earnest, and
determined men. So far as I can leartb Lin
coln grows in favor with the army every day.
If yon at the North will do as well at the bal
lot-box as we are doing with the cartridge-box,
the victory'Will be decisive and complete.
Yours, for peace at the point of the bayonet,
. SOLDIER.
All good men are in favor of peace; hot
.when peace comes, let it be in the shape of a
white-winged angel, and not in the form of a
white-faced slave, chained under the "bloody
feet of an aristocratic.- teEellion.
