C. M. GERE, Chairman
Is it a " Cappernead Lie I"
How often have we been told by a cer
tain class of persons, who have pretended
to believe what the Radical leaders told
them, that everything the Democrats said
was a "copperhead lie." This same class
have pretended to believe that the object
which the party, who are determined to
rule at all hazards; consider. as accomp
lished, namely—itegro suffrage—bas not
been the determined policy of the leaders
from the very first. Ten years ago it was
not safe to infer that the Republican par
ty even had any intentions to meddle with
the institution of slavery, if a man wished
to be is peace with his Radical neighbors.
for he would be met by this powerful ar
gument, "it is a copperhead lie—our
party is not an abolitionist party"—and
beln danger of a coat of tar and feathers
if he persisted. Yet every move that fol
lowed was as directly to bring about that
cad as could possibly be imagined, until
finally this class had no other plea than
"necessity."
Five years ago lets person have broach
ed the subject of negro suffrage to this
same class, and denounced the men who
were determined to override the funda
mental principle of our national freedom,
by ignorang State rights, and forcing ne
gro auffrage upon the citizens of this glo
rious old Commonwealth, without giving
them any voice in the matter, as did the
true and faithful advocates of Democracy,
and he would have heard just what they
did hear—" that's a copperhead lie—l will
leave the party the moment it advocates
negro suffrage."
Where are the falsehoods to-day ? The
predictions of those noble Democrats,
who, unwavering in duty, have fearlessly
warned the people against the artful
schemes of Radical fanatics, stand as burn
ing truths, verified by their last debasing
act which assumes to override the will of
God by attempting to annul one of His
fundamental laws—the distinction of ra
ces—and which places upon onr National
records an acknowledgment that the de
generate eons of those noble sires who en
dured pc,omucion; ana waaea through
rivers of blood, to establish a pure, free,
and intelligent government, are no more
competent to manage it than the sable
cannibals of the South Sea Islands, and
have placed us upon a political and social
equality with them.
We hear men on our streets to-day de
clare—men who have aided by their votes
to fasten this degradation upon us—that ;
"they are done ;" they will never vote
with the negro—they will die first.
Do ha mean what yon say ? Or will
you continue to ride around in the coat
tail pocket of some ranting office seeking
Radical, afraid to stand upon your own
feet and declare your manhood. If you
are sincere, and are in truth above the lev
el of.the negroes, then unite with the true
and faithful, and stand by the Constitu
tional rights of the Old Keystone State,
and hurl back the " flaunting lie" of ne
*gro equality into the teeth of the design
ing scoundrels who disgrace the National
Capitol, and stand by your rights at all
hazards.
Do you longer doubt that the Radical
leaders intend to place you and your sons
and daughters upon a political and social
basis with the negr, o ? Then read the fol
lowing, which you cannot call a " copper
head lie." Soldiers, read it, and tell us if
you are not proud of the conquest pro
cured by the hardship and privation of the
camp, and the life-blood of your noble
comrades on the battle-field ! Is not this
a proud day for America ?

Eln the Legislature during the last

But with all this, I hive not been ena

for - the simple reMmn that no one can see
the money coming back—or, iu other

will furnish the baTanCe,"'f will let yours

The Fir*t American Flag
At the last meeting of the Pennsyllanin
Historical Society. Mr. William J. Uanby
read a paper of " The First tar-Spangled
Banner Made in America, and Who Made
It." Ile discovered, in tracing the history
of this national emblem, that the first in
stanees when the star: , and stripes were
unfurled is ere :It the siege of Fort Schuyler,
August 17, 17 71, and upon an occasion
just about one year prior to that time, viz..
in J uly, 17^. G, on the brig Nancy, at Porto
Rico. The first American flag, however,
according to the design and approval of
Congress- was made by Mrs. Elizabeth
Ross. Three of her daughters btill live in
Peunsylvnia to confirm this fact. It isres
lated that wheu Congress had decided
upon the design, Colonel George Ross and
General Washington visited Mrs. Ross and
asked her to make it, which she did, and
for half a dozen years afterwards contin
ued to make all the national flags needed
by the government.

her gentle ways, he felt like going into
the shadowed gardens of imagination,and
gathering there the rarest roses of lan
guage—roses half asleep in their buds and
half awake as they swelled to bloom from
slumber—and adorning her wedding
wreath, already full with the blessings and
bridal offerings of loving friends."
