proper order. lst-His brother Butternuts
" no, many II time and oft, have been cheer
ed by his eloquent diatribes against the
Lincoln Turrenny." M-His wife who
does not mourn as those who have no hope,
for has loss is her eternal gain! 3d-A GER
tain husband whose wife disappeared in
company with CLANCY. This was the un-
kindest cut OF all; for the same blow which
left wife husbandless, cruelty left hus-
band wifeless. 1t furthermore left the
children of one family mOtherless, and the
children of another family fatherless. This
we take TO be the refinement of Butternut
scoundrelism. 4th-The other mourners
are respectable citizens who are scattered
here and there over the township, and who
hold in their possession certain little evil
dences- of Indebtedness given by the said
CLANCY previous to his atfectiOnate depar-
ture from his wife.

foundation is wife-stealing and adultery!
Clancy, like all other Copperheads, is a
practical secessionist He has seeded from
his wife. He has started q bogus COnfed-
eracy on his own hook, and will probably
turn up hereafter in some dark corner as a
Copperhead candidate for Office.
