We desire to keep few facts relative tc
the status of the Gopperhead party in thi.
county, before the people. We would have
the people
\ REMEMBER, that the leaders, one anG
ALL ardently sympathized with the traitor
GUS rebels, and that they now plead fol
those in the custody of the United States
with all the earnestness of their souls.
REMEMBER, that the stars and stripes,
the emblara Of r.atien~litsrs aenfFad al
by them, torn from appropriate places, and
supplanted by the ''red white and red, y the
emblems of organized treason.
REMEMBER, that the ''Star Spangled
Banner" ''Red, White and Blue, &c,
were forced TO give way to the fayorite airs
of the rebels Yes, who does not remember
how night was made hideous by the
singing of Maryland, my Maryland, I" '"The
Bonny Blue Flag, &c?
REMEMBER, that hundreds of pistols
| and other deadly weapons were imported
into Bedford county, and carried by the
members of this same party, to shoot Union
men for no other reason than that they were
in favor of suppressing armed treason.
REMEMBER, that the barns Of Union
men were burned, their lives threatened,
and their families intimidated because they
asked the Government to assert the suprem-
acy of the laws, and were willing to give
to it their assistance.
REMEMBER, that Churches and school
houses were burned because men who loved
their country, met their to worship God.
REMEMBER, that enrolling officers were
shot at, and narrowly escaped with their
lives because they undertook to enferce a
national edict.
REMEMBER, that not less than 600 of
this party refused to report when drafted,
and skedaddled to the mountains, skulked
away in caves or fed to Canada.
REMEMBER, that every barn burner
who, in the deep darkness of the night,
stole up to and applied the torch to the
property of Union men, is rapid Copper
head.
REMEMBER, that the heathenish in
cendiary, who under cover of darkness,
prompted by the spirit of the devil, stealth
lily kindled the fire which consumed the
house of God, if living to-day, is a traitor
and Copperhead.
IhI5r111AfBI1Ie, thss+ oT'ory deserter VINO
fed to Canada to enjoy the protection of
foreign Government, is and ought to a
Copperhead.
REMEMBER, that every skedaddler
who secreted himself for months in the
''pine clad hills of the DID, keystone State
is to-day a living, breathing, blathering
Copperhead.
REMEMBER, that every skulker who
found his way to the caves of our rugged
mountains, with loads of weapons, who
threatened death and destruction on all
hands, and then ran away from his shadow,
is blatant Copperhead.
REMEMBER, that ministers of the gos-
pei were reviled, condemned and prosecuted
because they prayed for the preservation of
the institutions of our fathers.
REMEMBER, that the Copperhead
party in body voted to exclude the soldier
from the right of suffrage, and that they
kicked men out of the party, who had the
rnanliness to disobey the order of the lead
ers and vote the soldiers this privilege.
REMEMBER, that every man who has
desired the success of the rebellion, who
aided, abetted and countenaneed them in
any manner, shape or form is Cop
perhead leader to the extent of his intelli-
gence
SOLDIERS WILL REMEMBER, that if
they vote the Copperhead ticket, they viii
stand side by side, with the distinguished
parties above enumerated. Oh soldiers,
can you mix with such an array Of treachery
and traitors.
