ssTHE TUEKER CHURCH ON BLACK
AND WHITE EQUALITY.e

A story has gained currency that the an,
l,ars a. their last Annual Council, decided
that negro members of the church must be
salutei bv the white brethren and sisters with
"a bolv kiss. This tale was put in ciTcula-
ion by the Radical AbolItionists IN order to
influence the members of the church IN favor
of their equality doctrine. Thus, as IN a
hundred other instances, they seized upon
sacred things TO aid them in accomplishing
their profane ends. Il gives us pleasure,
however, to be able to refute this calrmnyi
and 10 expoge the trick to electioneer at the
expense of the, church. Nc such Secislon as
that referred to ever passed the Annual
Couneil of the Tunker Church. The charge
is false from beginning to end.-Sdzetfe, Jtttg
20, 1866.
The above extract is a fau specimen OF the
downright falsehooasawhieh are to be found
10 the columns of Copperhead papers. The
sympathy of the country for the unfortu-
mates who control these Journals is all that
saves them from being branded all over as
liars. The weakness of the cause which
they enaesvor. in this unhoIy manner, to
support makes them generalobiects of char
ity and coula1iseration Or they would not be
tolerated any longer than any other nui-
sance
The above 'casnmny' aud trick instead
of being put in circulation by the Radical
Abolitionists was manufactured outofwhole
cloth by the Hagerstown HAIL a miserable,
contemplate, secesh-rebel sheet of the Ga
zette stripe, which was suppressed several
times and its editor iuearcerated by the Gov
ernment. In this it has lhe advantage of
the Gazette; it has same warrant for it
falsiications.
Now, thcre is a strong presumption that
the Gazette k1ew whence this ealumny" or
iginate d, but it did not suit its purpose te
tell the truth and it manufactures this whole
sale lie for little political capital But the
idea of the Gozette becoming the especial
champion Of the Tunkers is enough to ex
cite to laughter even the editor Of the
Gazette himself We have faint idea of q
small article, something Ike the following
appearing in the Gazette several years ago
"Ought men who talked in favor of tht
war and urge others to enlist and then When
a draft comes swear themselves out of it on
account Of their conscientious scruple'

President Lincoln in bis annual message,
under date of December |, 1862 addressed
Congress in these memorable words
"Fellow citizens tce cannot escape history.
We of this Congress and this administration
will be remembered in spite of ourselves.
No personal significance, can spare one or
another of us. The fiery trial through which
we pass viii light us down, in honor or dis
honor, to the latest generation. We san we
are for the Union. The world viii not for

the Union. The world knows we do know
how to save it. We-even nee here-hold the
power and bear the responsibility. In giuing
freedom to the sLdUe, we assure freedom to
the .ffee-honorable alike in what we give,
and what we preserve. We shall nobly save
or meanly lose, the last best hope of earth.
Other means may succeed; this could not fail
The way is plain, peaceful, generous, iust-a
way which if followed the world will forever
applaud. and God must forever bless
If he had been addressing the present
Congress, he could not have used more APP
propriate language. No Congress will stand
out more conspicuously in history than the
Congress which is about to close its labors.

coPPERHEAD CONSISTENCY.

During the last five yeaIs one of the lead
ing gcfes Of the Copperhead party against the
abolition of slavery, even as a war measure,
was That it would bring the cheap labor Of
the blacks in competition with, and thereby
reduce the wages of the white laborer Of
the free States. They don't dare to openly
advocate the "ten cents day" theory Of
that defunct apostle OF Democracy, Jimmy
Buchanan, but they do the same thing COW
ertly, when as now their newspapers and
representatives in Congress, almost en- masse,
favor free trade for the purpose of bringing
the pdaper labor of Europe into competition
with our own free labor There is no use
Disgusting the object at which you aim.
Why not openly declare the true object of
your Free Trade notions, the reduction of
American laboring mems wages to the level
Of European paupers. Why not put the
issue fairly and honestly and let laboring
men choose whether they will have pro-
tective tariff and well remunerated labor, or
Free Trade and ten cents day. They win
have no difficulty IN deciding when the ques-
ton is plainly and honestly stated.
