Is General Tilton a Secessionist!
Subject

Copperheads
Description
An account of the resource
Besides the accusation of Tilton, p. 2 also has a statement in support of Arthur A. Denny for territorial representative: "The Union Platform Adopted by the People in Territorial Convention, April 14th, 1865," which declares slavery "dead and buried beyond all power of resurrection," supports the 13th Amendment and declares that "the allegiance to the United States is paramount to all other considerations."
The paper says, "We shall next week commence the campaign [to elect Denny] in earnest and hope to lend all our humble aid to clean out Copperheadism from this Territory..."
Other war-related content includes the stories, "Wilkes Booth Shot," "President Johnson's Remarks in Taking the Oath of Office," Johnson's remarks that "traitors must be punished," the proclamation of Gov. Elwood Evans declaring May 11 "a day of humiliation and prayer," a dispatch on Lee's surrender, a dispatch on Jefferson Davis fleeing with "gold plunder," a war poem and a short story about a Union soldier who climbs a tree, has a dialog with a Confederate in another tree, and shoots him.
Abstract
A summary of the resource.
Gen. Tilton, running for territorial representative to Congress, is described as "the candidate of the Copperhead party." The article quotes from the Washington Democrat of July 4, 1861, which calls Tilton a secessionist even though "Tilton says he is a patriot."

Subject
The topic of the resource
Copperheads
Description
An account of the resource
Two articles in this Unionist paper regard Asa Mercer, who had brought the "Mercer Girls" to Washington and who had asked the legislature "to endorse him as immigrant agent for the territory." "The Negro in the Fence" (p.2) says "the Copperhead party" in the legislature turned Mercer down, fearing he would bring Union men only - and now they accuse him of wanting to import blacks. "Immigration Again," (p.1) quotes Gov. Andrew of Massachusetts on the problem of surplus single women (presumably because of men who died in the war) and suggests that if aided by a fund, women could be enticed to Washington. "There are as many adventurous women as men."
"Religion and Patriotism" (p. 1) argues against ignoring patriotism.
"A Vicksburg Ghost" (p.1) an apocryphal tale of a war ghost.
"For Delegate to Congress, Arthur A. Denny" (p.2) A Unionist manifesto adopted in convention April 14.
"Murder of the President, Its Causes and Lessons" (p.2) Blames "the spirit of the Copperhead party" and calls on Democrats "to note where the party that claims you is drifting..."
"Booth the Assassin" (p. 2)
"How Changed" (p.2) Quotes SC governor's speech of 1861.
"The Speaking at Port Madison" (p.3) Strong audience support at Unionist speeches by Denny and Garfield in Kitsap County.
"South Carolina," a poem from Harper's Weekly
Abstract
A summary of the resource.
Unsigned article attacks Article 7 of "the Copperhead platform" accusing Republicans of wanting "to introduce negro contrabands into the Territory" as a lie, and Gen. Tilton, their candidate for territorial representative, for endorsing this.

Description
An account of the resource
This issue has several short articles denouncing Democratic editor Hicks for claiming that Mercer had offered to import blacks to work in Meigs' mill. "A Queer Way of Manufacturing Proof," (p. 3), accuses Hicks of "proving" this by quoting himself. Also "By Their Own Witnesses Are They Condemned" (p. 3)
"The Copperhead County Convention" (p.2) denounces the King County Democrats as nominating copperheads and asks Democrats to "touch not the slimy reptile."
"Mr. Pagley and the University" [means Bagley] (p. 2) attacks James Tilton, president of the UW, and defends Bagley (president of the university commissioners) and Arthur Denny against charges by editor Hicks.
"A Great Stretcher" (p. 2), is a sardonic blurb saying the editor of "the secession machine at Olympia" [Hicks] has stretched honor, decency, and truth but "not stretched hemp."
"To the Voters of Washington Territory and of King County in Particular" (p. 2) Argues for election of Arthur Denny and not Major Tilton in June 5 election. Says Tilton "has been intimate with Secession sympathizers and actors, both in the Territory and the Confederate army," and suggests that he took his oath of loyalty to the Union "to save his pension."
"Mr. Denny and the University Swindle" (p. 2) Statement by D. Bagley, president of the university commissioners, denying the charge in the Democrat of 20th inst. that Denny aided and abetted "the university swindle."
"Copperhead Logic" (p. 2) From The Pacific Tribune, attacking editor Hicks.
"Jefferson All Right" (p. 2) An upbeat report from a Unionist in Port Townsend.
"Mired in His Own Filth" (p. 2) Attacks Hicks for changing his political stripes since 1861 and now editing "a vile sheet."
"The Ass Brays and the Bull Bellows" (p. 2) Denounces "Ten Commandment Joe" and supports Rep. Clymer regarding a bill on stock raising.
"The Logic of the 'Fervent Hope' " (p. 2) Criticizes Major Tilton for saying he "fervently hopes" to endorse the policy of President Johnson while not supporting it.
Untitled story, p. 3, from Astoria Gazette: A rebel sympathizer was heard rejoicing over the assassination of Lincoln. A crowd "strung him up as long as was safe without utter strangulation." Editor comments that "There are about two dozen of the same sort in this vicinity who deserve the same treatment--except that they ought not to be taken down so soon."
"Frittering Away" (p. 3) Attack on Hicks.
"A Pecuniary View" (p. 3) Suggests a strong Unionist victory in elections will be worth $1 million in federal contracts.

Black race
Description
An account of the resource
The Van Bokkelen letter, printed in this Unionist paper (p. 2), admits much of what the Democratic paper was accusing them of: that there was a plan to bring out black workers in the mills. He reports Mercer being for it, and then saying he was never for it.
"Voters, on Monday Remember" (p. 2) exhorts readers to vote a straight Unionist ticket in the June 5 election.
"Don't Throw Away Your Votes?" Half the King County Copperhead [Democrat] ticket is ineligible for office.
"Take Notice" (p. 2) "The Copperheads are industriously circulating that Mr. Denny is in favor of negro suffrage and equality...This is one of the numerous wholesale falsehoods invented by the Copperhead organ at Olympia."
"Short of Timber" (p.2) D.T. Denny, on Democrat ticket as county treasurer, is not a candidate.
"A Nut for Joe Foster" (p. 2) Rep. Joe Foster, Democrat, is "not a legal citizen of the United States."
"A Word to Patriots" (p. 2) Joseph Foster was once a Republican, then joined the Democrats. "He has openly stated that he would prefer Jeff. Davis for President of the United States before Abraham Lincoln, whom he denounced as a tyrant, a food and a traitor," then claimed these "were only jokes."
"Radicalism of War" (p. 2) In war "every loyal heart is an extremist."
"A Supposition" (p. 2) If King County elects Copperheads "we have no right to ask any favors" from the Legislature, which is sure to be Unionist.
"Who Will Vote for Major Tilton" (p. 2) Disloyal people.
"Made Him Swallow the Oath" (p. 1) A man who exulted over the death of Lincoln was forced to swear allegiance to the U.S. flag.
"Late Eastern News" President Johnson agrees that jailers in infamous Confederate POW camps will not be given rights of POWs; Mexico rumored to have "a system of silent organization" to recruit secessionists; Government rumored to have letter implicating Jeff. Davis in Lincoln assassination; Johnson offers $25,000 award for arrest of conspirators.
Abstract
A summary of the resource.
Letter from J.J.H. Van Bokkelen of Port Townsend admitting to have discussed a visit of Freedmen's Bureau man to import black labor for mill workers, and that Mercer favored this, but that after a bill was introduced in the Legislature banning "importation of negroes," Mercer said "it was never his intention to touch the negroes."

Immigration Again
Subject
The topic of the resource
Women
Description
An account of the resource
This was printed a week or two after the paper published an article on the immigration plans of Mr. Mercer. This is from the Boston Advertiser. It argues that women are in surplus because of the war, that they have the same rights to emigrate as men, and are as adventurous as men, but that they require more money for safety and comfort. It notes that in Oregon, female domestics are said to earn a dollar a day in gold besides their board.
On p. 2 is "The Negro in the Fence," an article condemning the accusation by the Olympia editor, Hicks, that A.S. Mercer intends to "introduce negro contrabands into the territory."
Abstract
A summary of the resource.
Washington should encourage the immigration of single women from states such as Massachusetts, where the war has left a surplus of women.

Murder of the President--Its Causes and Lessons

Copperheads
Description
An account of the resource
"The spirit of the Copperhead party. This is what did the deed"--the assassination of Lincoln. The article is part of the paper's campaign for the election of Arthur A. Denny as territorial representative and a Unionist ticket. It appeals to loyal Democrats to "note where the party that claims you is drifting" i.e., toward copperheadism.
,
The paper also has seven planks of "The Union Platform" of April 4, 1865-- gladness that the war is about won, belief that the Union soldiers did not die in vain, "a warm and hearty support" of the national government, approval of the 13th Amendment, opposition to "the pernicious doctrine of State Sovereignty" and support of the Unionist ticket.
Also, on p. 2 is a news story, "The Speaking at Port Madison" reporting a warm reception to speeches by unionist candidates Denny and Garfield.

Argues that the Copperheads of the Democratic Party are collectively responsible for the assassination of President Lincoln.

The Nigger in the Fence Again
Subject
The topic of the resource
Black race
Description
An account of the resource
This follows "The Negro in the Fence" (May 11). There apparently was a rebuttal in Mr. Hicks' paper, and this article is a rebuttal to the rebuttal. It calls Hicks' statement "a base pandering to the base passions of baser men..." The writer (probably J.R. Watson) says, "We will find a man who will give Hicks one thousand dollars on Mr. Mercer's arrival if he bring any class of persons other than white."
Abstract
A summary of the resource.
Statement by "Copperhead" editor Hicks that A. Mercer and Meigs plan to import black laborers is false, and an attempt to influence voters to supporting Tilton in the June election.
