The Ashland union. [volume] (Ashland, Ashland County, Ohio) 1854-1868, 1858-04-20

Mr.. Editor:-I see an article in the
Ashland Times of the 18th, and it is
not often that 1 stoop to notice such
low falsehoods as that thing sets-forth
but it is a good enough Leavenworth
BABY story for the Republicans to con
sole themselves with. This low fling at
CIV" is like the man that wrote it
Then he says, /" instead of a victory it
was nearly a Defeat and makes a direct
charge at the Trustees of fraud which
he knew was false, and every man in the
township knows it to be such and Che
man that wrvte that article knew when
ne penned it that he was uttering a base
SANDER on the Trustees, to console him
Eer~thrd rfvat that he and Els partv got
at the hands of the rue Democrats Of
old jackson, 7 will cay this VIM. s:
Spencer got all. enc votes counted to him
tna.. had ais name on, and there was not
orc vote ruled out of any kind but
then it was necessary to publish this
base falsehood to fetch the wheel horse
of niggerism into notoriety. Well, he
feels bad, for he thought he could effect
a split IN the Democratic party through
local causes and was lifted up to the I'd
heavens of niggerism and the Democrats
let him down on the day of election,
and hence to console him it was neces-
sary to SANDER the Trustees. 1t is a
wonder to me that they had not denied
having any candidates but Assessor, as
they did last year. They know they
obeyed the instructions that they re-
ceived from the Ashland Times, and
dominated a full ticket, and done their
best he says the majority was only
thirty. Another lie, manufactured out
of whole cloth. The majority is as fol.
lows, as the editor of the Times may
see if he will call It tho Clerks Office in
Polk and see what confidence he can
place in the slanderous correspondent
that he has in jackson: Clerk SO; Trus-
tees so; Assessor "a; Treasurer go;
Corstables S.; which is an average of
so. As to the frauds, the Republicans
concentrated on three Supervisors. and
they received almost the entire Repub-
lican vote of the Township and succeed.
ed in electing two of them. Does the
Times father hat article, or did the
wheel horse of niggcrism give him the
field notes as he did the hell fire and
birthstone story about tho Perrysburg
meeting? It sounds much like that lie.
Whoever he may be, he is a william and
a slanderer of the deepest dye-one en-.
tirely void of honor or truth, and puts
on the cap sheaf of all lies that has
been told to keep their waning cause
from sinking. So far as his low filings
at w is concerned, he must have meant
the entire Democratic party of jackson;
for they are all leaders and workers in
the party, and can organize without any
dictation from any one. 1t is a pity that
the Republicans could not get one to act
for them as they say "W.n does, or that
the Editor of the Times lad as much
sense as they attribute to the Editor of
the Union, and vanished over the lies
of their correspondent, and try and give
it the appearance of truth. But it was
the last struggle of that ancient "col-
lored individual" for they layed down
the agricultural implements and let the
violin and bow be appended to the wall
for there's no more work for that CON
temptible ancient collored individual
as he is gone where all the disunonists
viii go. W.
