Character of u Notorious Copper.
head.

hc1Aus
Mr.. EDIroR:-I notice that there is short
article going the rounds Of the papers con-
cerning one David Tuttle, of Ohio. He nc
doubt is one of those sanctifed individuals
who are so severely prosecuted for opinions
sake-as some would say. But, Mr.. Editor,
if you were as well aware of the character OF
this fiend in human form as am, and have
been since was small boy, you would not
be at all surprised that he is copperhead.
The notice of him which is going the rounds
Of the public journals is scarcely an approx
innate to his true character. q
He makes the avowal that he does not owe
allegiance to "Abe Lincoln. David Tod nor
Jesus Christ" As to his not owing any al
legiance to the latter, it is correct; and had
he made, the announcement twenty years ago
it would never have been disputed by any
one who knew him. He is an avowed Infidel,
and, still worse, he is an Atheist. His sole
aim is to annoy protesting christians and it
is the great delight Of his heart to run
horses, or perform some kind of labor during
the hour Of worship in the immediate vicini-
ty Of the house devoted to that purpose. He
did at one time edit small monthly sheet,
devoted to nothing but the persecution of
christians and christian ministers. He is
considered, by all who know him, a danger
GUS man. His paper was one of the most de-
testable sheets ever known to be published in
a civilized community. In it he denounced
everything like morality and religion.
Such is the true character of Copperhead
David Tuttle, of Ohio, and yet the half is not
told of him. Yet men will cry he is loyal
man, even though he denies it himself. For
The above statement hold myself individu-
ally responsible. E. B. BUcxMAN.

The ssMartyred" Dean.
lFrom the Cincinnati Commercial

From the Cincinnati Commercial
The latest of the martyrs is Henry Clay
Dean, d. d., of Iowa, a reverend" who, be
ing meek and lowly disciple of jeff. Davis,
and preacher of the dirtiest possible trea.
son, is not, according to the interpreters of
Democracy, subject to reproach as "politi-
cal preacher" As he discourses treason, his
pulpitis not at all prostituted. The garments
of the sweet-scented individual are not de-
filed, as he has sympathies with the South
ern aristocracy that keep him unspotted from
the world. He has been in a Lincoln bastile
for while, and was terribly treated by the
miniona Of the abolition tyrant. In fact, he
is said, at one time, to have been reduced to
condition of nudity, and so exposed to the
gaze of the Abolitionists and thus he be-
came greatly demoralized. The following
letter from him appears in the Dubuque
Herald: usisI s-.

Keep 1t Before the People.

The Copperhead journals assert that the
Slave States seeded for fear of aggressions
upon their local institutions by the Repub-
lican Administration.
Now read what the three Southern Com
missioners stated in letter which was pub
lshed in the London newspapers, Novem-
ber, 1861:
tNacas from fear that the slare uonld be liberated that
Secession took place. The VERY PARTY IN POWER HAS
PROPOSED GUARANTEE SLAVERY FOREVER IN THE

Lncolss Messags proposes freedom to the slave but
subsection of the to the will Of tbs
Union-in other words, to the will of the North.
Even after the battle Of Bull Run, both branches of the
Congress at Warrington passed reolaons that the

ton, and to enforce the la,0s, (NAHY THEM Pro-

The very men who are now most clamor
Gus for free speech, opposed it eight years
ago in Kansas, as the following clause from
the Constitution, which the Pierce Democ.
racy attempted to force upon the people Of
the Territory with Federal bayonets, will
show:
"If any free persons, by speaking or by
scriting, assert or maintain that persons have
not the right to hold slaves in this territory
or print, publish, write, circulate or cause to
be introduced into this territory, written,
printed, published or circulated in this terri
tory any book, paper, magazine, pamphlet OF
circular containing any denial of the right to
hold slaves in this territory, such person shall
be deemed guilty of felony, and punished by
imprisonment at hard labor for a term of not
less than two years."
Geo. E. Pugh, the Vallandigham candidate
for Lieutenant Governor Of Ohio, was at that
time a member of the United States Senate,
and defended this very code, in a speech
printed in the Congressional Globe, page
6lo, May 26, 1856. In that speech he said: !:
''Sir, regret the necessity for such legis-
lation, but wherever slavery exists as an in
stitution, laws of that character must be
adopted"
That is, the danger Of slavery will justify
Mr.. Pugh in prohibiting free speech; but, if
the safety Of the Union calls for such meas.
ure he denounces it as an outrage. With
such men slavery is more sacred than the
Union.
Who ever heard those valiant champions
Of free speech, Wallace, Thayer & Co., d.
nouncing its suppression in the Slave States,
or condemning the illegal arrest of men at
the South charged with Abolitionism? No
one. So long as the right Of free speech was
denied to men who condemned slavery they
were satisfied, but when it is denied to
men who are plotting treason against the
Government for the interests of slavery they
can scarcely find words sufficient to express
their indignation. This simple test shows
how much more they are attached to slavery
than to Union or to free speech.

A Curious SET OF PATRIOTS. Penu-
sylvania Democratic State Convention, held
at Harrisburg, adopted resolutions violently
denouncing the war policy of the Govern
ment, but failed even by SO much as an I'M
plication to condemn the invasion Of Penn
sylvania by armed insurgents, leaving the
public in doubt whether, after all, the "De-

were practically illustrated in the Third Ward
of that city on Thursday last. Two enrolling
officers and Deputy Provost Marshal were
attacked with stones and clubs, BY mob Of
three hundred men, women and children, and
all of the officers severely hurt-one of them,
it is thought, fatally. Only one of the rioters
was arrested. The copperhead police are SO
little disposed to aid the Federal authorities
that there is talk of calling on the strong arm
Of military power by declaring martial law
over the city. ~

~ The Courier, in a recent issue, has
another terrible onslaught upon the Union
Leagues. The latest provocation of its ven
ON against these loyal organizations was the
promptitude with which the Loyal Leaguers
of Baltimore turned out for the defense of the
city from the invaders. Each League in the
city furnished three or four companies
of men to Gen. Schenck. Of course this was
unconstitutional, because it might have ten
dency to hurt some Of the C0urier's South
ern friends, if they undertook to vindicate
"their rights" by sacking the city of Balti-
more. ----- .--.- y

At his old Tricks.

The editor of the Courier, with that brazen
effrontery which characterizes one-half Of his
invented news, gives in his paper Of Friday
evening pretended quotation from the speech
of Col. Stone, made to the convention in ac-
cepting the nomination for Governor. Upon
the authority of those who were present and
were attentive listeners to that speech, we
pronounce the quotation Of the Courier de-
liberate falsehood. Col Stone made no such
expression, neither did he use the words ne
gro-slave or slavery, or refer to the subject Of
slavery during his speech. The Courier is
80 accustomed to falsehood that it knows not
what is truth.

The TEsr.-The Chicago Times, which

Democrat:
&C He who supports the war is against the
Union, because the war is the most terrible
engine for the destruction ofthe Union which
Beelzebub himself could have invented. The
professed Democrat, therefore, who has his
senses about him, and is deliberately for the
war, is not Democrat, in fact, but an Abo-
litionist of the most radical, violent and de-
structive kind" ...,-..-s
Democrats who stand by the Government,
and support the war as necessary to its pres
ervation, are thus placed under ban. How
long will they continue to lick the hand which
smites them?
