I was a good Christian, i. f., a believer
in Lhrist Jesus, the mecK, loving ana
lovable Saviour of sinners ? I wonder
what the Saviour meant when lie
opened His mouth to inspiration, and
taught
"Blessed are the poor in spirit : for theirs in the
kinedoin of iicavcu.
' ' Blessed are they that mourn : for they shull be
comforted.
"Blessed art the meek : for they shall inherit
the earth.
Biessud are the merciful : for they shall obtain
mercy.
' Blessed art the peace-Dmkcrs : for they shall
be called the chiMreu of tiod. '
'Leave there thy irift before the altar, and go tby
way ; first le reeutK ilcd to thy brother, and then
come and otTcr tby gift-
But I say unto you love your enemies.
' But if ye forgive not men their trespasses,
neither will your lutber forgive your trespasses."
Here we lave the germ of (salva
tion, but not any for nic ! I don't be
lieve in such stylo of religion. That
is the old fogy style. That is the for
eign style. 1 bo sure, we all profess
it, but that is a pleasant religious gag,
full of emptiness, and sign itying noth
ing. No church in the United States,
so-called, could gain a convert on the
platform of Jesus. That is in the play,
but not in the reality. The man who
lives tLjao the religion of the Bible is
a Cop5.-t head, and the truth is not in
him. Why, bless us if tho Saviour
should come airain on earth, nnd

You see all of us Christians have
improved on tho Xew Testament.
We attend church for effect ! There
arc a few who attend, and are honest
in their professions : bat they are
Copperheads, and we'd 6coner give
Christ the lie, ignoro his teachings,
play liyixicrite, and tramp, tramp,
tramp, through purgatory with John
Brown and others of the illustrious
Abolition dead, than go to Heaven
with Copperheads, Democrats, poor
people, and honest Christians
I joined the church because it was
fashionable. I wanted influence. I
put a false label over my forehead on
which was written "repcnltrucc," and
with a sneaking, solemn, canting, pu
ritanical, bean-eating visage, held out
my hand for tho comnitiLion, and
munchod the sacred bread with the
rravitv of an ano oatinjr crackers. I
did it for effect. The label "repent
ance," deceives all but God. Ho read,
stamped on my forehead graven on
my heart, seared ou my soul that 1
am a sinner, a hypocrite, a liar, a
mocker, a deceiver, a whited sepul
chre full of deceit and uncleanness
1 wanted popularity. People think
j diat because a man is a church mem
ber ho is a Christian 1 Pah ! 1 can
attend church can rant, bellow and
shout w ith the best. 1 hen 1 can go
home, sleep, eat, scold, fret, post books,
read political newspapers, lay plan;
to overreach my neidil-ors nr.d in
crease my riches. And 1 can lie about
my goods, can be hoggish, tu'ltifh, dis
honest, tricky and deceitful, all tho
letter because I am a church member,
and church members protect their
own. There are somo good men and
some good women in tho churches
of tho Lord, and I'll take refuse bo-
hind their characters, bring reproach
upon mem, weauen tneir in uuencc,
disgust sinners with Christianity, in -
suit my Redeemer and finally wind
up my career :n hell, whero I ought
to be.
If 1 was a Christian, a real, .true,
j honest, conscientious Christian, as the
! lesson of Christ teach mo to be, I'd

and States for a little difference of

I am a Christian so called. But I
don't believe in Christ when he says

tuij U8 to takecaro of the poor. So
w0 AVe.,i hold United States
bonds, and make poor people pay us
interest on them. We'll build marble
churches, have rosewood scats, velvet
cusions, gold tankards for lying lips to
drink the blood of Christ from em
ploy a band to do our music, nnd bend
poor people to bell for lack of means
to worship God in a 6tyle as we hypo
crites do. But if any one of these
poor people fall back on tbe Bible and
its teachings, auu i Jive np 10 waai i
profess to, how quick wo will burl tho
bolts of puritanical wrath upon tbcm,
and brand them &a hypocrites. That
is strategy.
1 have to Do a hypoemte. . Jur
minister has forsook Christ for nigger
ism and politics, and wo must follow
suit. We are all brothers in wicked
ness. With a Bible slrapticd to our
back a cup of wine in one Land a'
piece- ol holy bread in our raoutli, and
a John Brown pike in Lie other hand,
with our pockets lull ot (stolen articles,
our hearts full of hato aud our eye
full of watery cunning, wo emergo
from our churches and glorify God by
mobbing the delenceless, shouting lor "
some political gag, insulting our
lnends, and abusing those who are
blood of our blood and children with,
us. But who cares 7 Keligion pays.
It is politically popular. To bo euro
modern religion here in tho orth is
not the kind Christ taught, but it
pleases us Abolition Union haters, and
we make money by it. bomo vhcra
are who follow the spirit of the Bible,
but they are Copperheads, and deserve
death. -
All thinrrs have changed hypo
crites and dissemblers are in fashion,
and here goes for a front scat!
Prisoners of War. In reply to a
resolution of tho House of Represent
atives calling upon the Secretary of
War for the number of prisoners of
either side held and that died during
the war, ho makes the following re
port :
Number of Vnion prisoners (south, . . 260,940
Number of rebel prisoners North, . . . 2t'0,000
Number f Vnion prieoners disl, . . . 22,578
Number of rebel prisoners died, . . . 21,435
Wo find the above paragraph in tho
Washington I'nion of Tuesday even

editor speaks from tho record.
What a commentary these simple,
severe statistics present on tho loy:.l

sessed with all tho utterly infamous
character of Washington otlleial testi
mony where "rebels'' are concerned
with every motive for, with constant
practice of, and unllushiug notoriety
in, falsifying records to suit their case,
what are the facts ?
Out of 261,000 Union prisoners,
22,500 died. Out of 200,000 Confed
erate prisoners, 20,500 died. Tho
Union prisoners exceeded tho Confed
erate prisoners sixty-ono thousand ;
! yet the deaths of Union prisoners fell

Two "Yankee" prisoners died out
