"Our sympathies are all confined at home; yet it is just

possible we may help those devoted Copperheads in the only

way we know how—also, that they, on their side, are now

about ripe to aid us in the only way we could accept their

aid. If our troops should this summer appear within their

borders anywhere between Cairo and Philadelphia, they would

be hailed as friends by a population pretty well cured now of

Pluribus Unum. Their cry would be, not Union, but deli-

verance. Wait then, and watch, and keep your lights burning,

ye Knights of the Golden Circle!"—Richmond Enquirer, 18th

May, 1863.
