Copperhead Scheming

Summary

Editorial discussing attempts by the "Conservatives" to foment dissatisfaction among voters with the candidates selected by the Unconditional Union Party for various offices. The paper maintains that the candidates are the best nominated in a long time and were legally chosen and agreed upon in the Convention, but that the "Conservatives" are now trying to "throw our ranks into confusion." The paper urges voters to stand by the nominees and be "steadfast to the principles they avow," and the "political intriguers will be foiled."
