Hecce we shall not bandy epitheta with journnlists, stump speakers, or street corner politicians ; but shall confine ourself to a courteous discussion of the great principies and interests at stakc. This is our rulo for the campaign, and, therefore, while we incjulge in neither epitheta nor personal' abusoj neither shall we t&ke the troublo to protest that we ro nat a " copperhead,". a ." traitor," or any tbing else aome enthusiast, or fiinatic, or Seol may choose to oall us.
