AN INFAMOUS coPPBRHBAD
PAPER.
Allegiance to the Government, and
Jesus Christ Denounced.--- Unpar-
alleled Blasphemy.

What klnU OF peOple llFe up III NIa"-
ford county, Ohio, may be learned
from the following dslectablo 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 a civil war broke out and the
insurgents raised tho robel flag. At
the late election they are for Vallsndi-
CHAM and Pugh. We are indebted to
the Cleveland Leader for the selection
comments:
We have before US "Volume 4, No. 81
of The DIVINITY Physician" publish
ed at Benton, Crawford county, by
David Tuttlo, D. d. He announces
his paper "independent Of Gods cres-
ton or mans invention" a character
which the sheet seems to warrant
From this exponent of the Copperhead
principles of this Copporhead leader,
we propose to make few extracts,
that the utter monstrosity to which
those doctrines inevitably lead, may
be shown in all their hdeous enormity.
No sheet could be filled with more vile,
loathsome, blasphemous, rebellious Ian
guage than this, and yet, We hazard
the assertion that the proprietor is
among the K. G. C's., that the expense
of his paper is betrayed by money con-
tributed by the supporters Of Vallandi-
CHAM in this State, and Dr. Tuttle is
never robuk1d by a Copperhaad for one
of his assertions or delcar atoms, but
that. on the contrary, he is hailed as
one of the "strong men," of the Demo
cratic Vallandigham party.
The extracts We give are taken di-
rectly from tho paper, which is itself
the strongest proof that the very larg.
est liberty is given to "free speech" by
our too leniont Government.
And first, as to the declaration in
stanced above Under tho head of
personal" the editor says ''the whole
ohalaux of Abolition presses" has
bcen greatly troubled about certain
speech of his. lie then elegantly adds:
"Now | will hereby inform these
pukes of Abe Lincoln, that they have
rot by all their threats and anathemas,
moved me one iota from my oil politi-
cal or religious landmarks, neither can
they 90 so as long as | have ny senses.
| have been arrested and imprisoned
by tho inCerual whelps, bat they have
not silencoa my tongue nor my press,
neither will they do it while l live. i
Inow repeat my wicked
speech again;
lowe no allegiance to Abe Lincoln,
or his scavengor, Gov. David Tod, or
Jesus Christ, and will add further, l
owe no allegiance to any king or theo-
logical God, orto any other God in
the universe; now ye,political, religious,
or hypOcritiraI saints, whoever you
are, you may chaw over it, you may
smoke it, or you may growl and grunt,
or wng your head over what l have
said"
These sentences, so choice in their
illusions, are natural to q supporter of
the man who advocated the abolition
of schools and churches, and to a 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 tho Christian
teachings of this man, who publishes
paper which finds readers in Copper
head families, We quote further from
the same article:
"Rosistance to tyrants ia patriotism,
But do not believe it is obedience to
God, for never heard Of God who
was not a tyrAHt, Tue God of the BIZ
BILE is an absolute tyran', brt [ do not
consider Him such perjured supper,
or such tyrant as Abe Lincoln"
In another article tho Doctor, allud-
ing to having published the divinity
Physician" for twelve years, "a dis
graceful fact for his supporters) says
that he had not intended to dabble in
politics, but
"Everythiug is mixed up now in
such a manner, praying and stealing,
lying and thanksgiving, patriotism
and treason, godlincss and deviltry,
holiness and robbery, Jesus and re
bellion, negro freedom and the Saints,
fasting and swindling, home guards
