the truth. It appears that, among the
many who went to the election on last
Tuesday morning was a young man who
wore a "badge of Liberty," a very res
pectable and inoffensive man who went
with other Democrats lo cast his vote in
Favor of Woodward, peace. States' Rights,
and the Constitution and Union not lo
quarrel with niggerheads. And among
the followers of C'urtin, and advocates of
war and despotism, was a man, (or demon
in man's form,) who is noted only for his
quarrelsome, turbulent and contumelious
propensities. He is the hero of tho "Slide
town" battle, of which you were informed
nme time ago. He is a man that mindt,
other peoples' business a great deal more
thau he does his own, and in carrying out
his poculiar personal qualities, stepped up
to the yonng man who wore the ''copper
Lend," when he was not facing him, and
made a grab for the "jewel." This attempt
kt robbery corngod the young man, whe
immediately gave fight, aud handled the
robber very severely for a little while,
when Sneiih'it (the robber's) friends in
terfered and Hived him from a sound drub
bing. The consequence was, the robber
had lo ''quit" and "skedaddle" on a dou
ble quick Bull run home a.-jaia like a
cheep-dog with his tail between li s legs.
Wonder ifho'il ever again attempt to icare
"copperheads "
li: oontequenceof Snsatb having to leave
so abruptly, and without stealing thesym-
hoi ol Liberty, which he swore so vaunt
inirlv to "csrrv oil' in Iriitmnh" wi'hout
rommitting the robbery he had meditated, I
raised the "bile" or the 'ntggerlieads,'' ;
who immediately despuched a messenger
("yow lie, I was no messenger," my con-j
science tells me. What was it men:
'Why, fool, 'twas a monkey an old mon
key, with one shoulder up, and one shoul
der dixcn - a uvmkey, not of a high emU.
but a very low easte, one wilh his tail crop

science, vou are wrong, he can't be a mon
key, for he Utki." "He don't talk, he
screeches, and when he screech)! his

No, uo, conscience, 'tw a messenger

hnperonjcic'iiv will not int errupt me again.
Yes, Mensrs. Editors, a messenger wis dis
patched to Janesville, with the news of
the failure of Sneath's enterprise, and
alnui a dozan men, (n not men. idiots,)
who had more 'Mersey lightning" than
good seme, came Iretting. foaming and
sweating up lo tho Crcss-ltoad. sweating
vengeance on "copperhead," and vow
ine at the samo lime that they would
return to Janesville bearing Ihc "rdie of
olden times" that the young man wore on
his breast, and recover the renown that
rMieath hail so ignominious!)' lost, and
achieve a victory that the world would
certainly le nroud of. Yes 1 they would
win back all that glory that our armies lost
at Bull Bun. Bull's Bluff, Uichmond and
Fredericksburg ; indeed, they weri deter
mined to gain a victory that would out
shine that won by McClellan n Anlietam
After praying fervently for Mars to lead
them safely through the gathering storm,
they fixed their hopes firmly on glory's
bright career, nnd marched forth to the
nXd of theii labor in the holy came of
whipping "ooppet heads." 1
Everything, at they passed, aeemed to
gi70 them homage. The trees reverently
tofsed thoir tops, as if they were striving
to stoop to embrace and bles them ; tlie
birds chanted thei' lively lyric strains,
whinh the heroesin their heated imagin
ation, construed into "Bony o'er the A Ips,"
and " Washington's March ;" the little aquirls
came hopping to the roadside to salute
them, and then scampered away into the
woo 1 again ; the ephyr, sighing through
the treo-tops. they thought, waa the spir
its of Generals Lyon and Keno, whispering
couraee in their ears, and urg'ng them on
to victory; the gently rippling water of
lludiy bun sounded like the magic voice
of an invisible hero animating them to
energy and hope ; their uniforms (for they
were mostly discharged soldiers) assumed
a deeper hue than even the azure arched
firmament above them; even theun it
elf bowed, and smiled upon them. By
the time that this long train of thought
had rolled through their tninds, and all
had passAcl their opinion about affairs in
general, and particularly the "Outrre a

posed the Mexican war, we must give

UIKIIOP HOPKINS AM) POTTF.lt.
In 18G1 liisliup Hopkins, of tlio
Diocese of Vermont, wrote a letter
containing n " I i i I 1 View of Slavery,"
which sustained the institution as one
sanctioned ly t he Hiblo. More re
cently the letter was extensively re
published, and the attention which
it attracted aroused the Church party
hostile to Hiwhop Hopkins' views
to
the pitch of controversy. JVisliop
Potter, of the Diocese of IYnnsyl
riia, and a number of clergymen and
laymen, published m heptemiicr, a
protest against the "Diblo View of
Slavery" in the following words:
PROTEST.

This attempt lo apologize not only
for slnvery in the abstract, lint to advocate
it as it exists in the cotton State, nnd in
States which sell men and women in the

in their judgment, unworthy of any ser

wicked attempt to establinh by forc of
