n the great West, where the Natlon is
paramount to the State, and where po-
itical heresies grow slowly. The fol-
owing is from the NeW Albany (India-
Ia) Ledger:
Mr.. John H. Shrum, for some time
in the Ledger Office, has re- !
emily, by the death Of relative in
california, come into possession Of a
handsome income; and what 10 also
,ratifying in these days Of greenbacks
Ind paper currency, he receives the
whole amount in gold. We rejoice at
he good fortune of Mr.. Shrum, as will
Ill others Of the craft with whom he is
Such good luck being a
rare occurrence, our brethren Of the
press will, Of course, pass him round.
A Coppcrhead Infldel.
We have before intimated that par
ty which favors slavery and opposes
all efforts towards emancipation; which
sympathizes with treason and opposes
every effort of the Government to sup
press it; which arrays itself against
the church Of Christ and the ministers
of the gospel; which mobs loyal prin-
ting offices, resists the execution ofthe
laws, and incites such bloody and in
human riots as the late one in New
York; and which nominatos traitor
for Governor of Ohio-that such par.
ty would naturally draw to it all the
rougbs, thieves, traitors and infidels in
the country. One of these infdels pub.
fishes a campaign paper at Benton,
Crawford county, Ohio, called the "Di.
vinity's Physician" the expenses of
which publication are betrayed by con-
tributions from Vallandigham and his
friends In a late article this infdel,
atheist, land Vallandighammer says that
his paper is independent Of all Gods
creation or mans invention" and that
he is "a Democrat" of the Va allandig-
ham persuasion as will be seen by the
following:
almost year ago I published the
name Of this patriot and moral hero
(Vallandigham) as candidate for the
next Governor Of Ohio, One hundred
thousand of the freemen of the State,
on the 18th day of June last ratified my
nomjp alton. X X This
coming man is destined to be not only
Governor of Ohio, but also President
OF the United States Put that in your
pipe and smoke it, you damned min
ions Of hell. "
He is in favor Of "free speech y and q
free press, and general promiscuous
license, and thus declares it;
Il owe no allegiance to Abe Lincoln
or his scapenger, Governor David Tod, or
Jesus Christ. And | will add further
l owe no allegiance to any King or the
illogical God, or any other God in the
universe, Now, We political, religious
or hypocritical saints, whoever you are
you may chew over it, you may smok,
| it, you may snuff it, or you may grow
and grunt or wag your head over wha
| have said.
He believes Abe Lincoln to be tn,
Prince Of Tyrants; ne
"Resistence to tyrants is patriotism
But | do not believe it is obedience Il
God, for | never heard of q God wht
was not tyrant. The God ofthe bibl
is an absolute tyrant, but do not con
slider him such purjured usurper, O
such a tyrant as Abe Lincoln"
He makes some terrible charges q
gainst Lincoln, and hangs him up b,
the meek and heels" as follows.
VI said publicly, eight months age
that l owed no allegiance to Abe Lin
coin. My God would as soon pa,
homage, respect or allegiance to oil
Luciter, or to all the devils while hold
ing mass meetings in hell, as to Alb
Lincoln, President Of the Unite
States. "
Does the old fool, though he Is
law -giver and a law maker for the free
men of Ohio, does he think because h
is knave, that all other men ar
fools? X Il Inow charg
old Abe with being guilty of all tn
crimes known in the catalogue, as pei
jury, stealing, murder, mapping
house breaking, burglary, fraud, false
hood, and other acts, which would fl
the measure heaping full and runnin
over, of one mans villalnies.'
II therefore sentence old Abe Lii
coin to be hung by the neck and hee
until no is dead, DEAD, DEAD, an
if there is any God who has a di
, position to have mercy on his inferni
black soul, then there is no need Of
; devil or theological hell"
/, He calls ministers ofthe gospel ire
erend hcll,whelps of their so-called 2
on" and says they are the only h
! man blood hounds in this country al
!. throughout the world" and that IF
: the peace of the country, and for Il
. happiness Of the whole worlds all kin
( of religion should be banished from
mong men,"
