THE ANTI-PoLfTfcAtl
CHURCH. ~ Hiii

DIR. olds, Sam Medary, and q fe
others, ssys the Ssndusky Register,
| are industrously at work to organ
ize new Methodist Church in Ohic
on the ground that the old one is in
Tested with "politica1 preachers"
all being Democrats of the Vallan
digham pattern. It's creed may b
supposed to run in this wise:
1. No political preaching tolerated
except for 'tPeace Democracy"
2 No agitation of the slavery
question-except in favor of it.
8. No church action in favor oi
war-except war against the Gov
ernment. ...i . o.
4. No politicians admitted. to the
church-except peace democrats.
5. "The Gospel only to be
preached-that is, the divinity of
slavery, the innocence of the rebels,
and the exceeding wickedness of
"abolitionists."
6. The salvation of the world"
through faith IN Christ-except the
''niggers."
Z. "Peace and good will to men,"
especially rebels and traitors, but
slavery for ''niggers," and damnation
here and hereafter to Black Republi.
cans and War Democrats.
We put it to the intelligent reader,
if we have not daguerreotyped the
essential articles of the creed of the
new church about being organized in
Ohio. Inasmueh as Medary is inter
ested in the movement, and one of
its heaviest hackers, we may not
have put it In STRONG enough Lam
guage for the "Old Wheel-horse"
used to be slightly profsne, but other
wise we think it is but little out of
the way.
But.really we see no necessity for
its organization. They have an NJ, |
E. church SOUTH already-indeed
there is a society belonging to it we
believe yet in existence in Cincinnati. |
All these malcontents had to do was
to join that, and they would be at
HOME. ....
We hope they will reconsider the
matter and let their movement take |
that direction. 1t would then have
the appearance of HONESTY at least,
which cannot be said of it now
We haze no doubt the "doors of the
church. would. be opened wide
enough to take In such sinners even
as Sam Medary-espectally as rebels
are admitted to its communion all
the rebel States.

| The PgRFBcTIoNIsTs AND GENERAL
BUrLER.-In Norfolk there is a so
ciety called ''Perfectionists,'' and il
their behalf some ten or twelve ot
their number have lately addressed a
letter to the Commanding General OF
that Department, setting forth their
objections to swearing allegiance to
any earthly Government. The SUBJ
ject was disposed fby Gen. Butler
in the following characteristic man
ner: -.i
HEAD'qRs OF 18TH ARMY CoRps,l
FoRT MONROE Va, Jan. 13.
j. r. Dozier, e. H. BeaseLey, and
Others:
GENTLEMEN: have read your pc
titioD to General Barnes, setting
forth your objection to swearing al
legiance to any earthly govern
ment.
The first reason which you set
forth is, that ''all human govern
ments are necessary evil, and are
continued in existence only by the
permission of ] Jehovah, until the time
arrives for the establishment of
His kingdom, and in the establish
ment of which all others will be sub |
dued unto it, thus fulfilling that dec
laration in the 9Th of Daniel and 18th
DC.
You therein establish to your own
satisfaction three points:
First. The Government. although
an evil, is a necessary one. Second. !
That for a time it Is permi tied to ex-
ist by the wisdom of jehovah
Third. That the time at which
period is tobe put to its existence is !
not yet come.
Therefore you ought to swear al
legiance to the Government of the
United StatesI
First-Because, though an evil,
you admit it to be necessary.
Second-Although an evil, you adj
NIT that tits permitted by the wis
dom of Jehovah, and it is not for his
creatures to question the wisdom of
His acts.
Third-You only claim to be
excused when Jehovah's government
is substituted, which period, you adj
NIT, has notyet arrived.
Your obedient servant, I

A REBEL OPINION OF A COP.
PERHEAD.

The Richmond Enquirer don't
like "Copperhead" quite as well as
a Yankee, and we mnst admit as in
disposed as we are usually to be con-
vine ed by rebels reasoning, that pre-
sents very sufficient arguments for
its antipathy. A more accurate per-
ception of the nature of the reptile,
and of its motives, would hardly be
desirable even ifit were possible, than
the Enquirer EXHIBITS in the follow
ing
Such is now the position of some of
those who were but lately "Peace
Democrats" Others there are still
we understa nd of this singular po-
litical sect, who believe, even to
this day, that we are not fighting for
independence and eternal separation,
bnt for a Democratic Administra-
ton in the next Yankee Presiden-
tial term. As the New York News
says, they have been keeping their
finger on the Southern pulse all
this while, they know every beat of
the Southern heart and they know
that it pants only for-say Fernan-
do Wood as President, with his
crowd of Democratic, instead of Re
publican, Office holders and thieves.
When we talk of independence and
separation, they wink their eye,
hint that this is very good sort oi
talk to be used against the Repub.
licans, approve even Of our fighting
a few battles, and pouring out the
richest blood that flows in southern
veins, in such sacred cause-a:
the securing of the next four years
plunder, four years! eight, twelve
one hundred years-for Republican
ism would then be crushed out, anC
| Democrats would keep both hands
in the public pocket eeuto seeuiorun,
These peace Democrats feel tina
they and we understand one ano
ther. Absolutely this last sort o
Yankee is more offensive to us thai
the other sort; they seem to us NOR
intensely Yankee than the abolition
lists themselves. Abolitionists ant
. "War Democrats" would kill tn
! body and ,plunder the goods; bu
these creatures do worse-they in

ter pleased the sooner they shal

WOMANs FRIENDSHfP

1t is wonderous advantage to :
man, in every pursuit Of fvocation, 10
secure an adviser in d sensible
woman IN women there is at once
a suitable delicacy Of tact and plain
soundness of Judgment which are
rarely combined to an equal degree
in man. A woman, If she really is
friend, will have a sensitive regard
for your character, honor and re-
pute. She will seldom counsel you
to do a shabby thing, for q woman
friend always desires to be proud
Of you. At the same time her con-
stitutional timidity makes her more
cautious than your male friend
She, therefore, seldom counsels you
to do an imprudens thing.
A mans best female friend is a
wife of good sense and good heart,
whom he loves and who loves him
he have not that, be need not seek
elsewhere. But supposing the man
to be without such helpmate, fe-
male friendship he must still have, or
his intellect viii be without q gar
den and there win be many an un-
needed gap in even the strongest
fence! Better and safer, of course,
such friendships where disparities Of
years or circumstance but the idea of

Did ape have.
We may have female friendships
With those much older and those
much younger than ourselves. No
ier's old h0usekeeper was a great
lelp to his genius; and Montaigus's
takes both q gentler and
OTTER character of wisdom from the
late in which he finds in Marie de
3ournay, an adopted daughter, "cer-
aihly beloved by me-" he says,
with more than paternal love, and
involved in my solicitude and re-
as one or the best parts of

When the chariots that bring us bles-

to see it four mills The patriotic
people of the State will cheerfully
pay it, and justify you for imposing

He thinks do not love him,
With taunt and word severe;
He breaks my fond and bleeding heart,
And starts the bitter tear.
And then l weep in silence,
And pray the Great unknown
To bind my broken spirit up,
And leave me quite alone.
He thinks I do not love himl
I'll seal the secret up,
And drink. when by him profered.
The dregs of every cup.
What though pine in sadness,
A smile shall light my eye;
And nought but joy and gladness
Shall meet the passer by.
He shall not see me languish,
'Twould feed his envious pride;
He shall not know my anguish,
To spurn me from his side.
He shall not, by oppression,
Fer make my spirit cover;
Though like worm it eateth
The heart bud, and the flower.
And when my weary spirit
Shall bid the earth good night"
And waken in the morning
Where all is pure and bright.

A message bear from me,
And tell him that love him;
How long? Eternslly.

OLD BOYS.

Fine old fellows, it seems are
sGarcer than they used to be. Now
and then one meets with a genial
sexagenarian, who laughs in the face
of Time, and pulls the ancient NOW
er playfully by the scalp lock as he
vaults lightly over his scythe; but
such delightful "old boys" are rare:
Hood would have been one of them
had he lived long enough, and as it
was, his cheerful spirit triumphed
over irfrmity; pain and death
Even when he saws.
