UNPARALLELED BLASPHEMY.
What kind of people live up in
Crawford County, Ohio, may be
learned from the following delectsble
extracts from a newspaper published
at Bucyrus, the county seat. 1t will
be remembered that this County was
the first to protect deserters and to
! hold indignation meetings. to prejudice
the people against the administration.
Here it was, that civil war broke out
and the Insurgents raised the rebel flag.
AT present they are for Vallandigham
and Pugh. We are indebted to the
Cleveland Leader for the selection and
comments. e'lof st
We have before US "volume 1,
Number 81 Of "The Divinity Physi-
cisp," published at Benton, Crawford
county, by David Tuttle, d. D. He
announces his paper Independent OF
all Gods creation or mans invention" :"
q character which The sheet seems to
wasrsat. From this exponent Of the
Copperhead principles of this Copper
head leader, we propose TO make few
extracts, that the utter monstrosity TO
which those doctrines inevitably lead
may be shown in all their hideeus
enormity. No sheet could be filed
with more vile, loathsome, blasphemous.
rebellious language than this, and yet,
we bazard the assertion that the pro-
prietor is known among the K. G. C's,
that the expense of his paper is de-
frayed by money contributed BY the
supporters of Vallandigham in this
State, and that DR.. Tuttle is never re-
buked BY a Copperhead for one of his
assertions or declarations, but that, on
the contrary, be is hailed as one oI the
.stronr men," Of the Democratic Val
landigbam party.
The extracts we give are taken di-
rectly from the paper, which is itself
the strongest proof that the very
largest liberty is given TO "free
speech" by our TOO lenient Govern
ment.
At first, as to the declaration in
stanced above. Under the head of
personal" the editor says, the
"whoIe pbalanx of Abolition presses"
has been greatly troubled about acer-
tain speech of his. He then elegantly
adds:
"Now, will hereby inform these
pukes OF Abe Lincoln that they have
not by all their threats or anathemas
moved me one iota from my old politi-
cal or religious land marks, neither can
they do it so long as have my senses.
I have been arrested and imprisoned by
the internal whelps, but they have not
silenced my tongue nor my press,
neither will they do it while L
live.
now repeat my wicked
speech again:
"I owe no allegiance TO Abe Lincoln
or lis scavinger, Coz. D0v;d Tod, or
Jesus Christ. And 1 will add further,
owe no allegiance to any King or
theological God, or TO any other God
in the universe. Now, ye political,
religious, or hypocrItical saints, who
ever you are, you may chaw over it,
you may smoke it, you may snuff it, or
you may growl and grunt or wag your
head over what l have ssid."
These sentences, SO choice in their
allusions, are natural to a supporter of
the man who advocated the abolition Of
schools and churches, and to fellow
conspirator with those who sacked an
orphan asylum and proposed to burn
the Astor Library at the time of the
great New York riot.
To show still clearer the Christian
teachings of this man, who publishes a
paper which finds readers in Copper
head families, we quote further from
the same article:
Resistance 20 tyrsnts is patriotism.
But 7 do not believe it is obedience TO
God, for never heard of God who
was not tyrant. The God Of the
bible is an absolute tyrant, but l do
not consider him such a peuured
usurper or such tyrant as Abe Lin
coln."
In another article the Doctor, alu-
ding to having PUBLISHED the divinity
