1562 - L. Sept. 12:4/4 - A grand rally was held in the National hall
Sept. 10 by the Democrats. A small crowd of "Copperheads" attended.
"Of its soundness on all Copperhead principles there could be no doubt,
from the cheering at every argument for peace, and every sneer for the
'n****r' soldiers." The "Temperance" band was there, and being more
loyal than the crowd, played "The Star Spangled Banner" and "The Red
White and Blue."
The meeting was opened by a series of resolutions which started with
a denunciation of the present administration, and declared that their
only hope lies in a change of administration. Another resolution de-
clared that the object of the war sluould be the "Union as it was and
the constitution as it is." The resolutions were unanimously adopted.
