The Democratic pioneer. [volume] (Upper Sandusky, Ohio) 1845-1853, 1847-01-08

Democrats seemed to be off their guard and
are beaten for the present; and using CON-
mon pharse in Ohio, were caught knappng,
There was great hue and cry raised about
the Tariff, and the unjust an unhoy war;
That part is not to be wondered at by many
of the Federal party in America; for there
are hundreds and thousands that would glory
in the enemy from any foreign land coming
in and cutting the throats of such of the
Americans as would stand up and defend
their country. ] do not condem all that call
themselves Wings, there are some honorable
exceptions. There are some young Wings
Of Ohio at present IN Gen. Taylor's army, who
! fought manfu!ly at Monterey. Since the ap.
pearance of the Presidents Message, the
Wings are pretty mum in relation to the war
question. They are waiting for the news
from head quarters to come IN the National
Intelligencer, in which every thing that looks
like Democracy will be condemned. 1t is SO
evident that the rascalt;y of the Mexicans
deserved drubbing, at least as early as Mr.
Van Duren's administration, since the appear
ance of the Presidents Message, you will
hear many say that, q did not know the Mex
leans had been robbng and plundering the
American seamen, &C., and after agreeing
by solemn treaty to pay for the damages and
depreciation committed, then farfeiting all
agreements and bidding defiance to every

nations, they think the war is not so wrong
after all, and it is right to make Mexico toe
the mark. Ohio went Wing this fall. Tire

caused the defeat of the Democracy. This
little county is true blue, all Democratic.-

and Maj. John Caldwell, of Bucyrus, Com
missary. Many of your Columbus acquain-
tances have volunteered and acquitted them
selves nobly in the war;
The crops in Ohio this season are as good as
they have ever been to my recollection; it was
on the whole beautiful and bountiful season.
This new year seems to set in with some of the
old fashioned rainy winters; it has been rain
ing almost incesanty for the last three or four
days, and the waters are unusually high, do
inc much damage TO the low land farms, roads
and brid ges. We had a similar wet time and
high water in this country dnring the winters
of 1928. To-day the 4h, the sun shines
in its beautiful golden yellow like in an April
morning. and all is again in its former beauty.
Congress is doing little or nothing. They
have been (for beginnlng) fighting over the
Mexican battles Indeed the Ohio Lcgisls-
ture have been making some buncom in re-
latlon to the Mexican war. have requested
Mr., Giles to Send You number of his paper
containing Gov Bebbs Message; such doc
ument TO eminate from the Governor OF SO
important state as Ohio, presume the next
generation will not see, and | am sure the last
has not seen. 1t shows that he is brainless
goose.
Write me long letter hen this reaches
you. Give my respects to Mrs. Crosby.
