INDIANA. COPP a ItHEADIS.
We have read a great deal about the
treesonable copperheads Of the Indiana
Legislature, bbt in to day's Post will be
found an address to their constituents,
which we commend to to the careful pert
sal of our readers. It contains their true

_'T APPRECIATED.
The gentleman who has been of late
making luminous the editorial columns of
the Pittsburgh Dispatch, is thiowing away
his valuable time by remaining in such a
one-horse place as this is. A genius like
his should seek souse field of operation
commensurate with its rare resources ;
Pittsburgh is entirely too small for it.
Beta short time since that ingenious,
but unappreciated, writer discovered that
the, framers of the Declaration of hide
pendenee, when they declared that all men
were "born equal" meant negroes and
slaves, as well as whites, although at the
time the declaration was made all the
States held slaves, the signers of that in
strument being largely interested in that
e
species of property. We directed atten
,
tion• to the Dispatch's argument upon
1 this point when it appeared and in appro
priate terms lauded its ingenuity. Again
/we have teen attracted and • charmed
li by the ingenuity of our neighbor as exem
'
Iplified in its editorials of yesterday. That
Il
paper discovers and exposes the fact,
, that the Post, in its remarks of Monday,
upon the War Department's report of
here being " one hundred and thirty
housand" deserters from the army, ac-
I ; taally made a " plea for desertion" and
on apology for those who had abandoned 1
3heir posts. Bat tho Dispatch's exposing 1
;ur copperhead. proclivities, yesterday,
iwas not by any means its cleverest per.
Alarmance. In the satne , column in which
so severely rebuked us, it had an edito•
I.
onal upon the late Union State Convention
f Kentucky which, for research and ori
quality, surpasses the" combined talent
or ; those who constituted ifs members.--
aAlluding to it, our talented neighbor re
steries that, '"
The convention adopted a
ries of resolutions approving the prin.
ples asserted by the Gentral Assembly
of the State," presenting, remarks
tlf:e _Dispatch " a platform er tirely
unobjectionable to every Kentuckian
arid true lover of the Union." This an
njuncenoent coming from so important a
q arter iadaced us to look up the 'principle'

UKiettucky, and endorsed, not only by the
nion Convention of that State, but by a

Thfso principles, to which "all true lovers

attiOzaus MISCHIEF.
The malice of the Gazette of this city
is positively shocking . Yesterday, tinder
the caption of "Cur next Governor," it
came out in an article favorable to the
nomination of Hon. Thomas M. Howe, of
this county, bat in the'same connection
it spoke of John Covode, of Westmore
laulltria one whose whole life is "a certifi-
Leate'ef purity; uprightness and loyalty."
Without desiring to be considered imper
=tinent we are burning witli desire to know
what Mr7Efowe has done to induce the
Gazette to mention him in connection with
John Covode 7 In Westmoreland county,
it is notorious that no one who knows
Covode believes anything he states, with
out corroborating evidence of its truth ;
and in WashiOgton the Abolitionists use
him on smellirig committees, whose busi
near it is to dodge about in masks
to find out bits of scandal which
may be damaging to some obnoxious
opponent. He! would do well enough as
the head of a detective police.; he is
"senseless and fit" enough to be "con
stable of the watch," but the idea of
naming him in Connection with the exalt
ed position of! Chief Magistrate of our
commonwealth is entirely too broad and
heavy at the haUdle.
We love PerMsylvania with all the ar
dor of a patriot; and expect, after being
"broken with the cares of state," to lay
our weary bones in its beloved bosom, but
our age would be rendered unhappy if such
a miserable scratcher as John Covode
should, in our time, reach the most ex
alted post of honer the State has to bestow.
We can stand partizan persecution, the
conscription act; unlimited taxation and
the rise in tobaccb aiid brown muslin, but.
John Covode for Governor shocks our
sense of propriety, the unalterable rule
of right, and the eternal fitness of things.
If we are to have a Republican for our
next Governor (et which we have not the
slightest idea) give us a gentleman, at
least. We could rest securely under the
administration of! such a Governor as
Mr. Howe would make, but the elevation
of John Covode to the chief magiitracy
of our noble old Commonwealth would
certainly send us lb a premature grave.—
We, therefore, beseech the Gazette, with
broken voice and choking utterance, not to
again allude to him in the gubernatorial
convention. A joke's a joke, but Covode
for Governor is a; matter too heavy for
our debilitated system to long- endure.
We implore for mercy.
COPPERHEADS IN PRUSSIA.
The King of Priasia is supposed to
stand third in the order of absolute sover
eigns now ruling in Christendom. The
Czar of Russia is the first, the Emperor
of Austria comes u .xt, and the third in
order of absolutism, stands the Prussian
King and :iovernment. fist, wonderful
to relate, there are ` ( . 7 opperliead s " even
in Prussia—i n other ixords, there are met'
in the Chamber of Deputies of the Prus
sian realm who speak and are permitted
to speak against the rt'ling po war, an d their
remarks are greeted with "storms of ap
plause."
The Pittsburgh GOette publishes the
report of an "exciting scene in the Cham
ber of Deputies" at Berlin, in which Mr.
Deputy Twesten, 'mating other conturna
st, ermine, Lulea the following, to which
we would invite the close attention of the
readers of that paper:
But Ire are unfortunately obliged to declare
that the honor of the present Governrent is no
longer the honor of the Nation."
This was greeted, as the repoit in the
Gazette informs us, with "storro of ap
plause from all sides of the house."
Ah ! Mr. Deputy Tweeter', you are
"fortunate" yourself in living in the King
dom of Prussia and not in the Republic of
the United Slates of; North America.
Why, sir, you would be !called a "Copper
head"—rt poisonous reptile. You would
be threatened in your household, in your
person and your purse, You +id be
the object of open attack by 1` loyal
presses," the object of suspiciPn by
"loyal" Provost Marshals 7T and even the
object of severe (though ambiguous) char
ges of a "loyal" judiciary. Happy, thrice
happy, Deputy Twesten !: You - are in the
Kingdom of Prussia and not in our Re
public of the - United Stares!
[For the Post.
"C OPPERHEADS" ONCE MORE.
To the Editor of the Chronicle :
Ste: I am again compelled to obtrude
myself upon the readers of the Post in
reply to your article of Monday. I dis
sent trom your idea that "fairness" would
require me to sign my propername to these
,
articles. Yott:, arepublic journaliithnd
you had adopted,,hr seemed to adopt, in
.•
your columns, front' the partisan press the
habit of designating Democrats as "Cop
perheads"—poisotions reptiles. And I
am one of the ten thousand Democrats of
I Allegheny county, any • one of whom has
a right to repel the insult, if he sees fit,
and to appeal to your sense of justice and
propriety not to pervert Your journal
a paper which so many of us delight to
read and to pay for, into a mere vehicle of
party defamation. You solemnly declare
that you "ignore all thoughts of party in
the present struggle," and while I give
full credenpe to this, I have a right to ask
that you will not, through inadvertence,
lend your pen and press to those who are
endeavoring to degrade and disfranchise
me and my political associates.
But we are getting along slowly with
our discussion, and I tear the fault is with
you—for I do not think you are concise
enough in your repines and. explanations.
You do not answer my questions at all, or
your answers are a title too diffuse. Let
us recapitulate a moment:
I asked you to define a "copperhead,"
as you employed the term—to tell who
were copperheads and what they were, and
what theiropinions are—to say if there
were any of that sort of reptiles in this
county, &c. You say that you do not ap
ply the term to Democrats, but that "cop
perhetids" are chronic assailants of the
administration and defenders of the rebels
—that they are "fomenting discontent and
counseling disobedience to the laws of the
land." You say there are plenty of this
kind of people in Allegheny county, and
that they bold "secret meetings." lam
very certain that no memberot any sort of
secret or sworn political organization can
be a Democrat—for whenever a man be
coines a conspirator he ceases to be a vern
ocrat—m idnight associations,day-dreading
"leagues 'are not to the taste of Democrats
—they repudiate all such means of com
passing political ends. They have no pur
poses that will not bear the lull light of,
the noon-day sun—and as you seem to
hi Mthat those "secret meetings" are com
posed of persons drawn chiefly from the
Democracy, I earnestly insist that you
shall furnish to the, public or to the legal
authorities prompt information of those
th
venomous assemblies. Ido assure you
at all Democrats and all loyal men will
thank you—we especially wish to know
rho it is claiming any sort of connection
with us that have degraded themselves on
any pretense, into secret and midnight
plotters. May you net discover that
the • "black and midnight" gather
ings yon heard about, are not made
up wholly or in part of Democrats, bat.of
men who are seeking to destroy demo•
cratic liberty ? What, for instance, can
you tell ot the secret business of the
"Union Leagues" we hear so much about?
Where do they meet? Where are the pub
lished notices ot their assemblings What
are their pledger, and what their:purposes
not publicly declared ?
In order to test your impartiality to its
fullest extent, I submitted to you the
question whetter you would adopt in your
paper any epithet that might be given by
the Democrats to those who call them
"Copperheads ?" Whether you would
take up the name of "Thugs," or "Black •
Snakes," or "Banditti," it Democrats
should employ either to retort upon their
enemies? To this question there is no
word of reply. lam sorry for this --and
I would once more press fur a distinct
answer. For my own part, while I am
very sure that an appessissiass pLeo.c.
might be found, I would rather that its
invention and use might not be further
provoked.
I do not persist in the belief that
"Copperheads" aro synonymous with
DSmocrats, as you are pleased to charge.
I am not one ot those unfortunates who
love to be despised. I know that the
abolition press applies the name "Cop
perhead" to all Democrats, and I have
sought diligently but not very successf u;ly
to find out whether you applied it just as
they do. Ido not think the Democrats
or any of them are poisonous reptiles,
and I do know that no Democrat can ever
belong to, a secret political lodge, sworn
or unsworn, and be a Democrat at the
same time.
Very many of the Democrats that I as
sociate with have sons and brothers in the
army—all the Democrats hereabouts have
contributed according to their means to
the needs of the war—to the bounty, sani
tary, soldiers' widow, and all the other
funds made necessary by the contest.—
Not one of them has resisted the con
scription, or the taxation, or has hin
dered enlistments in any way, or means to
do any of these things. They are not
charged with any of these misdemeanors—
, eir only sin is that they cannot think on ab
stract questions with those who are manag
ing the Government, theyare not contuma
cious nor factional,they do not censure the
administration because it isla pleasant duty,
but they cannot accord to any mere man
unconditional submission. and agree to
approve his political acts before he performs
them—though this would be much the
smoother way to get along.
Let me insist, my dear sir, on an an
swer to the question about the giving and
using of an epithet for our Republican tel
low citizens. If you are truly impartial, I
am certain you would as soon apply a hard
name to one party as to the other. If you
would not, I am to conclude that an im
partial, "independent" papei:inearis a pa
per that is independent of the minority—a
paper going upon the principle that it is
always best and safest to "shout with the
largest crowd." But I will not prejudge
;you—that would be unfair, and all that
Democrats seek is equal rights and fair
play.
