A Conservative Prayer.

Appointed to be used by the faithful upon all
important occasions, and recommended as the
established form Of prayer in the Conservative
church during the present campaign.
Lord we beseech thee, If thou art not Radi-
cal, to save our country, if Thou canst do it con-
stitutionally; and without enfranchising the
q niggers,S or givingCongress any of the glory
But. o, Lord, if Thou are "bloody Radical
and had any hand in freeing the Egyptian slaves,
and drowning their oppressors in the Red Sea,
thou art not our Lord, for be it known unto
Thee that we wish to establish new party, and
will also set up new Lord, rather than sub
nit to the dictum of any one who set all the
Egyptian 'niggers y (?) Free and killed their
masters just because they were Democrats or Re
bells as the Radicals call them.
p o. Lord, if thon art Radical, and in favor of
f" negro equality you will please make it
known through the Wheeliag Register, unto US,
that we may, at our next meeting at New Greek,
appoint new Lord, and take immediate action
in regard to a new Heaven, for we have resolved
not to serve Radical God, who favored the
Union armies during the war, neither viii we
occupy the same Heaven with Radicals and mig
gers.
We pray Thee to inform us if thou art in favor
OF the Constitutional Amendment or the Regis
tration act of the Bogus West Virginia Radicals
Legislature that we may consider that matter at
our next meeting, land then and there determine
whether it would not be prudent toeast Thee
aside and appoint in thy place our worthy broth
er and martyr, BOOTH, who has gone before us,
to prepare place for US, that where be is we
may be also.
We wish thee to understand distinctly and
emphatically that we will not have any God to
rule over us who is not in favor Of thrusting
sharp 'sthorn' into the flesh of every Radical in
the Union, and does not fully endorse the john
son convention to be held at Philadelphia, with
out lodging.
o, Lord, we desire pure party who have no
more regard for q niggers' than for brutes, for
we don't believe that " niggers'' have any souls
no how, and if they had, g nigger's'' soul is
not worth saving so long as the conservatives "
are entitled to the front Seats for distinguished
services in favor of the glorious, but unfortunate
ly miserably whipped confederacy.
0, Lord, we pray the to protect the !" Gonser-
vative I" party and grant that Andy Johnson
may furnish all with Offices that we may obtain
our g bread and butter at the expense of the
!" dear people, whom we delight to gull into
our support, and grant, by all means in thy
power that rebels may be permitted to vote, or
our cause is lost, and we will be totally defeated
this fall and deprived of the privilege of putting
| down the Radicals who thwart us in all our well
| laid plans to reconstruct the State upon rebel
| principles.
Finally, O, God, ,if there is a God, do try and
put the Radicals down, and save our new party
| from everything like niggars and abolitionists.
These faYors we demand at thy hands for the
success and benefit of the johnson, DAVIS
| Bell, ll,--Douglas, -Breckinridge, va Valandigham,

cofoco, State Rights, Unconditional Union, with

Amen.
Please sing the hymn commencing as follows
| Great God and yet alive,
And do we yet rebel
Tis Thine amazing mercy shown
That we out of He'll"
