Shaw of Ohio, both, approved Copperhcad,
and friends Of the South, held convention
the other day In that State "of all lovers O.
freedom,'' to establish q new church 10,
Democrats who wanted the Union as it Wal
and the Constitution as 1t is-" A strollins
Methodist minister who had been relieved O.
his charge, offered his services to otf1clate fol
the brethren and several elderly Copperheadf
put in their claims for deaconships Resolu.
tions were passed, and much dls1oyalty and
more blasphclny characterized the harangues
SO that now VIC suppose 1t is definitely cstab.
1fshcd tlat Messrs. Olds and Shaw and thei.
brethren are to have Copperhead church and
after death will demand to occupy some
sphere in the other world where there nre
neither Abo1itionists nor negroes. We have
no intimations what pa1t1cnlar branch of
theology The brethren will adopt Copper
headism seems to be the beginning, middle
and end Of their creed, and In this light It is
easy to sec the character Of the new church
It's foundation will rest upon the divine insti-
tuition Of slavery, with its concomitants of
the misery and deflement Of woman and the
. ownership and degradation Of man. LIST main
floor Will be disloYalty to the Government
Its windows viii bear the emblazoned pic
tnres Of those who have suffered for the
canse Of s1avery-st. Olds, St. Va1landig-
ham, St Mahony, and few female saints
like Belle Boyd and Mrs. Onderdonk might
give effect to the altar piece. The pulpit
shall be bnilt Of the bones of ,nen and
women scourged to death by the brutal
drivers lash and torn By savage bloodhounds.
No baptisma1 font can be had as the brethren
will object to pay the revenue ta1 on WHISKY.
The strolIng Methodist clergyman shall
preach from the Chicago Times and McClel-
1an's Report and the choir sing tho 4tBonn,e
Blue Fling, :" while brothersM and Comis-
Ky Of the congregation pass round the hat
for Southern ehinplasters. The roof of this
church might be the Rebel Constitution
shingled with the publications Of the South
Carolfnn Tract Society, aud the spire must be
tipped with the Southern Cross. The stroll
ing clergyman shall never preach upon llber-
ty, religion, progress, honesty or temperance,
as there must be no disturbing elements in
troduced which shall threaten the concord of
the brethren.
We arc in favor Of this church, and we ad-
vocatc the establishment Of branch In Chi
cage. 1t would be eminently successful
here, and We euggestto brothers Story, Little
Fuller, Wabash Goudy, Magof1n, Merrick,
Comisky, Buck Morris and Hayes, TINT IN
eligible site might be procured on Kinkic or
Wells streets, and the Chicago Coppcrhead
Church ut once start off with flying colors.
