Copperhead viii cling to a nigger's coat tail,
as long as he thinks be will profit thereby.
There were two factions in the Union party
in Virginia: the Conservative and the Radi
cal. There were not enough rebels soho lrere
eiigi5te roters to constitute party, and think
ing Conservative mild term, voted that
ticket, worked for that cause, stunRed the
State with Negro speakers, consumed great
deal Of rot-gut whiskey, glass for glass with
niggers, tSambo always payin' the bills, OF
course, walked to the polls with niggers and
/ deposited their ballots with the niger, and
for all this Conservatism the Democracy Of
Bedford County are highly elated. Surely
they know not what they do. Ignorance is
bliss where it is folly &c be WISE" but Oh

speech made by Walker, at Richmond, after
the election, on which occasion he appeared

value Of The great boon of the franchise that
has been conferred upon them, and the true
value Of being citizens We must not forget
that the opportunity Of winning this victory

from these bones, they are welcome to il,
and they can see the ghost of the fifteenth
amendment in Walkers speech they are
sharp psighied indeed.
CuuRCu DEDICATION NEAR ST. CLARsyuIE.
The beautiful church edifce erected by the
Evangelical Lutheran and German Reformed
congregations at the crossroads about three
miles from St. CIairsvile, was dedicated on
Sabbath, July 4th, 1869
a very large aud attentive congregation
participated in the exercises. Rev. II. Baker,
pastor of the Evangelical Lutheran Church
at Altoona. who has gained quite a reputa
ton as successful solicitor, preached the
Dedication sermon, which was able and e,o
qaeut, and did much to accomplish our end.
His text was, Ps. 1877: q.
1t was found on the day Of dedication that
debt Of over 500 rested on The church,
which must be provided for before the dedi-
cation could consistently take place An ef.
fort was made to secure the amount, which
proved successful. About $500 were raised,
sufficient to meet the debt, and leaving
surplus for some outside improvements.
May tbe Lord continue to bless aud pros
per our people, ard richly reward all who
gave Of their substance to free the house of
God from debt. J. PETER.
