Copperhead War On the Method.
ISIS.

Isis.
Why ID it that the rebels rnd Copper
heads in bitterly hate the Methodist
Church The outbreak Of the rebellion
was characterized BY 8 wholesale murder
of Methodist preachers in the South:
and since the war, the abuse OF rebels
snd their Northern allies has been con-
tinuslly poured out upon the Me,hodists.
Is It because the Methodists are fore-
most iu carrying light into dark places.
and in humaniziug the low and degrs-
ded? II must be this. for as soon as
men have knowledge and humanity
drilled into them, they are not 6t sub
jects to belong to the Democratic party.
1t is the Northern Methodists that these
rebels hate-not the Southern Method
lists; for the latter have no religion that
is opposed to slavery and oppression.
and therefore are allies Of the rebel Dc.
mocracy.
The Methodist General Conference
lately held in Chicago. is admitted to
have been one of the most digni6ed and
taleuten body Of men ever assembled on
this Continent-men who are widely
known. and respected wherever known.

Rump Radical, politico-religious mob,
known as the Quadrennial Conference o.
the Methodist Church.
1t is convened nominslly in the inter.
ests of the Methodist denomination, bu.
really in the interests of the mongre
party, and with an eye to the interests o
Grant. who is the candidate of th.
Methoaists. It will remain in session
until after the Chicago Convention, and
will add its usual whine to the chorus O.
dsmnsble discords that will. hail the
nomination of the azure backed butcher.
1t is engineered BY the infsmou,
Simpson, Methodist Bishop of Philsdel
phia, who. in collision with Gen. How.
ard. the other reverend rufisns of th,
Freedmen's Bureau, took possession o
l 200 churches belonging to the Meth
odist Church South, and turned them
over to the uigger and convict preacher;
of the North.
The government of the Methodist
Chuich is that of a pure aristocrscy.-
The lay members have no voice in its
management or dicipline. The entire
organization is under the control of an
oligsrchy. And such an oligarehy
