COpperhead DoctrlnesOn Negro Suf-
fFage.

lfd%Ds
The Copperheads have accepted
President JOHNSON as their leader,
They are prone to charge the Repub-
licans with advocating negro suffrage.
The Union party presents no such
issue. But ANDREW JOHNSON, the
Copperhead leader, in an official dis
patch to his, PROVISIONAL Governor,
William L. SHARKEY, Of Migsissip-
pi, on the. 18th of August, 1865,
months after the close of the war; re-
commended the following, WIS iH B

Such are ANDREW JoHNsoN's sem

as expressed again and again. : The
Democracy must adopt them. It is a
bitter pill to swallow, but there is no

The New surveyor of Customs.

1t is now pretty certain that our well
known townsman, DIR. CasseIberry, Ma
tional Republican, has received the APP
pointment of Surveyor of Customs in this
city. This adherence of DR.. Casselberry to
principle, and bold stand for Andrew
Johnson and the imm ediate restoration of
all the States of the Union to their right
full privileges, is a fattering omen of the
times. One by one, hundred after hum
dred, are the sober, calm, thinking, reason
ing men of the opposition breasting off
the passion in their own party, and
standing like beacon lights in the midst of
the troubled sea around them. DR.. Cassel-
berry has long been known to have disap-
proved of the secession of the bulk of the
Republican party from their former prin-
ciples and creed, and their violent opposi-
ton to the restoration of the Union for
which they early assumed to be the only
champions Once the unconditional
Union party, they have lately found many
important conditions to be applied before
the unconditional Union can be restored.
We congratulate the Doctor upon his pat
riotism and sense of right, the friends of
the Restoration upon this valuable acqui-
sition to their numbers, and the business
public upon the accomplished and well
qualified officer they will have to deal
with.-EvoTlSvHte Courier, Sept. 20.
Nothing could be more unjust to
DIR. CAssELBERRY than the above. 1t is
well known that he has been unquali-
fed in his opposition to the Copper
heads and the President; and since
his appointment he has declared his
adhesion to the Union Republican or
ganization, and his dissent from AN
DREW JoHNsoN's views and conduct.
IF the enemy can get any consolation
out of his appointment, with his
known and declared views since his
appointment, they are easily satisfied.

The Presidents COup d'Etat.

We called attention yesterday to
the publicly declared threat of the
President to bring on another civil
war if the Union party did not yield
toahis imperious will. The Chicago
Times is confessedly the most infuen-
tial Copperhead paper in the West.
A few weeks ago it said:
"And if the rump Congress shall not
speedily abandon its seditious, revolu-
tionary, and lawless practices-if il shall
persist in excluding the representatives of
eleven states from their rightful seats, and
in exercising the powers of the Congress
of the United States-we do not hesitate
to declare that it s0iu become The solemn duty

The Working Men and POmerOy.

Z p T ~
The Courier is annoyed at our 81 gar
bled extracts" from the infamous
PoMERoY's own paper, and abuses
us for coupling Mr., NIBLAcKs name
with the blasphemer's, And we ex--
pect' NIBnAcK feels hurt about it, too,
We wouldn't blame any body for OBJ
jecting to the association of his name
withlsuch. vile outcast sgi0i III Z
But the greatest insult which is
attempted, is that of making him the
exponent and representative of the
working men-such an infamous
blasphemer, and instigator, and APP
plaudera Of Presidential assassination,
and maligher of the soldiers, We
have made no attacks upon him, ex-
cept such as were based upon, and
substantiated by, his own words,
which we have invariably quoted in
connection. We submit that no hone
est working man will be fattered by
the Couriers association Of them with
"BRICK t'oMERoY. The admirers
of that individual need not worry
themselves, as our neighber is en-
deavoring to do, with a fear that
Union men will seek to interrupt his
meeting. IF. the Democracy think
such a man can do any good to their
cause in this community, he can
speak in peace, and the enemy is well
come to the good he can do them.
We extract the following: -
+ Mr.. Pomeroy is made to appear in the
columns of the journal as one of the most
vindfctive and radical men of the times /;
when on the contrary, he is,known to be
one of the most conservative orators in the
West. A gentleman of generous impulses !;
as a speaker, clear, bold and salient-just
such an one as the people desire to hear
and always honor with applause.
The .Workingmenl of Evansville will not
only hear, but indorse and applaud, their
champion on the night of the I'd ultimo

press its opposition too far, nor to resort to
its customary incend iarispS for it is haz-
ardous against powerful nerves and strong
arms. q q

The Courier on the Meth odist Church

especially exuberant, in its express

traction. 1t was really refreshing

its denunciationl of the Methodist
Church. 1t has at last. discovered

itself to the Revolutionary party,

from the resolutions of the Vineennes

from them, our neighbor assumes the
priestly role, and utters the following
exhortation, which we doubt not all
good Christians will instinctively
heed, recognizing as they will the

lash, itself into a fury about that
nightmare of both its sleeping
and waking hours - the Grand
Army of the Republic. It's senseless
harangues only excite the laughter
and derision of all thoughtful citizens
of all parties. Yesterday after setting
up man of straw and arming it with
bristling bayonets, and throwing
around it the horrors of Know moth

Rebel Hostility to Common schools.

Rebel Hostility to Common Schools.
b That jealous champion of ANDREW
JOHNSON AID Of the action of the
Wigwam, Convention, the Richmond
Examiner, deyotes portion of the
space usually given up to bitter de-
nuneiations of the Radicals, to the
following diatribe against Common
Schools. Nothing is so much feared
by the rebel leaders as the education
of the people they lured. into seces-
sion: o'4l1 -" N
Common schools are part and in keep
ing with the agrarian sentiment of the
North, a desire on the part of the dull
and indolent to drag down to common
level the industrious and the intelligent,
and that is perhaps the strongest dwelling
element that has been introduced into the
polity of the country. 1t has had pow
erful effect. Those who are able to give
their offspring higher order of education
have been cramped by a tax, and the force
of public sentiment to limit the education
of their children to the imperfect and arti-
fetal course adapted by the common
schools. = 90 ~
This is literally and in fact an imprison-
ment of the mind. The channel is the
same, and any aspiration to leave it is
punished by the sneer of the ignorant lew
eler. The result is, that the people sub
ected to the system can read and write,
but they always read like a school boy,
and write in the same round hand without
any idea of the beauty of thought, or the
elegance of expression; in other words,
they are taught the mechanical part of
education the mind itself is not moved,
and never shows its power. They are taught
that the great end and aim of education is
to draw up an account without blot and
to add up the result without mistake.
They do not know that the mechanical
part is secondary to that training of the
mind into the power of analysis and crea-
ton to which more ample scope of edu-
cation naturally directs the intellect.
