Tho Objects of tha Xntehta of the
(Joldcn Circle, or rcaco Democrats.
Vo hnvo before had occasion to say
that tlio Seymour democracy owed their
triumph Inst full, in a few localitioi Ka.it,
to their success iu deceiving tho peoplo
Ai to their objects nnd purposes, Tho
rtol object of the Copperhead leaders,
aside from petting the offices, was to play
Jnto tho hands of Jiff's confederacy to
stop the war, nnd let tho rebels break up
tho Union. This they expected to effect
by Inviting foreign intervention after they
obtained possession of tho Government.
These purposes were carefully hidden
"' from tho peoplo, and, during tho rnnvass

want slavery molested, ns tluit would, look
like bringing tho war to a close before tho
North was exhausted and foreign powers
could intervene. Such is tho hypocrisy
and dccoitfolnoss of tho leaders o( the dem
ocratic party, w ho are now trying to hood
wink Northern fools iato ft support of Jetf
Davis' rebellion by votinir a democratic
ticket, Hy reading tiio extract from Ly
ons' letter, every man can soo that the
rebel organs hero have all been acting iu
perfect concert. They nil seem to have
been instructed by Vallatidigham and the
leaders of tho party Fast.
Wo have uot before seen a printed ac
knowledgment of tho objects and aims of
tho traitors North, but wo have gathered
tho outlines of tho programme from tho
C:t cure-tan. Those w ho have rend that
sheet will remember that it has been reit
erating tho falsehood, over and over again,
that prominent Republicans were in favor
of " mediation." Its ofjett was to prepare
the way for nioiin og tho intervention
p'.vik in the democratic platform (now
v.tii) whenever Sammedary should

iinsty of Jcfi, of courso knew all about
tho programme, and laughed in their
alcoves to see Union men voting the dem
ocratic ticket in order to liavo " the war
prosecuted with a greater vigor"!!
Tho leaders of tho Copperhead fra
ternity, known as tho democratio party,
have now been discovered to have been
in close correspondence with Jetf Davis
and tho agents of the British government,
all working together to engineer their
scheme of breaking up the Union, to a
successful issue. The development of
these plans by the publication of Sey
mour's intercepted letter to a bosom rebel
friend, and the premature publication on
the part of the British government of
Lord Lyons' correspondence with Russell,
has had something to do probably with
the late stampede of Jeff's tools from t'te
camp of treason East the absence of
whom ecn?s to have prevented the trai
tors from carrying Connecticut, New
Hampshire, and other localities where the
seed of tho woman put his heel on the
head of the serpent this spring. In the
44 Blue Book" just ordered published by
the British Parliament, is a letter from
Lord Lyons to Earl Russell, dated Wash
ingtonCity, Nov. lTth, lSGi In that
letter, Lyons, in speaking of his visit to
New York, Not. Sth, w here he found the
democrats rejoicing over Seymour's elec
tion, says :
It has also dilute.) nit iW
pm y KjiTJ at upholding slavery, so as to
prolong tho war, wear out the North, and
here is another part or tho "coir

Why Don't tho War Stop?
It is now several months giuec the Jell'
hand-organs in this Slate were predicting
thnt tho successes of tho Uivo Points do
tuocrney In New Ytrk, and elsewhere,
would end tho war or so cripple the Con
federate strength, that tho war would be
soon wound up. Thoy said that the tri
umph ef tho "pence democracy" iu New
l oik would cause tho rank nnd file iu the
rebel army to throw down their arms,
while President Lincoln's emancipation
proclamation would so disgust our own
soldiers, a vast proportion of whom were
democrats, that they would throw down
their nrms nlso then lo ! and behold ! no
army iu the field on either side ! profound
peace' everywhere! Lincoln forsaken by
his nrmy all gone home and gone to
work, tho General nil gone to drinking
lager and playing cards! while Jeff's ar

mies to fight no arailes to fight, because.
tho mouth piece of democracy, tha oracle
of the party, the Five Points, had elected
Seymour, nnd Seymour had said "jcmtt

Abo" and " Undo Jeff," who being " let
clone' by their armies, nil the world, and
tho rest of the human race, had poked
their heads with nightcaps on, each
through a broken w indow pane, the one
at Washington, and tlio other at Rich

other.

Tho Cr.y fwrc tan has slightly modified
its tone, it has taken the hint we gave it
a few weeks ago, that it was decidedly too
rampant for a judicious Copperhead organ.
It went too stern on tho start. It dived too
1 k
deep and ran Its nose too fur down into
the juico of treason for a paper that wish
ed to draw tho wool over tho ryes of Union
men, nnd lead them into the Copperhead
camp of tho Five Points conservatives.
Tho curses it got from Union men every
where, nnd its great fulling off in subscri
hers, served ns a kick that went with our
hint, and brought tho thing down a peg or
two. The lato news from tlio Fitstern

the prospects of the Copperheads ns a par
