Full Text
A leading Republican office-holder at Mansfield on the day of the late monster Democratic meeting at that place, was overheard to remark to another abolitionist, "that the very devil had got into the heads of the people, and that we must spare neither time nor money in efforts to check this mighty popular torrent which was rushing towards copperheadism."
These abolition recn-bellies may as well quit first as last. The people are not for sale, and they had best save their "time and money."
