The weekly Ottumwa courier. [volume] (Ottumwa, Iowa) 1857-1872, 1860-08-16

Stylesvie, were a mighty throng, and Sell
man the healer of diseases, sto ID before them,
and said 81 am not democrat, am a
follower of Stephen Arnold, known to you
as Douglas the giant" and they shouted
with loud voices because of this.
z. Then, they all, every man i'm his own
way, did eat of an Old BULL that had been
prepared for this occasion, and the same was
not half cooked, for as much as the blood
of the bull was seen to run down the sides OF
their mouths.
s, Now this bull was as sacrifice offered
unto Stephen, and also to appease the fero-
cious appetites ofthese ignorant idolaters Of
Stephen, and like unto dog, they became
very cross, and snarled and bit at the Re-
publicans for many hours.
0. Then Henry the Trilnbalite. am CYRUS
the general of the forces, harrancued well
nigh unto dark, talking with great effort
about the life of their faction, the miner.
~. then every man went unto his own
home with much disgust at these savings.
knowing of a truth they had no good reason
for being the followers of this traitor to de-
mocracy, Stephen Arnola. @
CHAPTER 8.
|. Now, soon after these things happened,
the ''one horse sheet" called Clarion, came
out of press like unto a giant little giant
refreshed with new (whiskey) wine.
2. And it said, ''the country was all ablaze
for Stephen, and that the people were assem-
bling together in threatning masses favoring
Sqnatter SoD-er-eign-ty."
3. And how the traitor, Stephen Arnold
was gaining ground, throughout all the land.
t. Now these sayings quite amused the
people, for it shows how bad the faction feel
over their coming defect, and though this
land of Davis, has heretofore been strong for
democracy, day by day they are growing
weaker and beautifully less, by degrees.
.. And every place that this faction assem-
bic can be seen BLACK Republicans" writing
down the sayings of these aspirants, that
ttey NAV refute all they may say. Then do
they publish fright in their midst, a meet
Ing, and ask all the people of the faction Of
Stephen, and the democracy, to come and
harkcn unto their sayings.
g. Now these things cause much fear with
the leaders of this faction, and they look sad
and do council often amongst themselves,
saying, what shall we do to be saved"
q Because these men Of the Republican
camp do battle strongly against us, 'ol in
every place whore we assemble do they come
and we do hate to show our colors before
them, and they know we must lie unto the
people concerning our faction"
8. And they will publish orr sins, and
show OF what poor material we are made.
and we dare not answer them before the
people, for out Of our own mot tbs will
we be condemned"
>. Oh! ye priests, Amosand Allen. gather
from out the records Of the country as many
savings as will be favorable unto us, and pub
lish the same in yonr zone horse sheet"
10. And be careful we priests, that be-
tween all the say ngS you may gather, place
other words that will not look too brazen.
also, put in the word Abolition, whenever
you speak of these Republicans, that we
may charge upon them that which they do
hate, and which we know ourselves to be a
lie.
IL. And Amos, and Allen, did according
to these sayings, and are hunting even unto
tins day, for some sayings that may favor
their faction.
IL. Now this is the manner in which they
tempt to deceive the people of the land
acaiied Davis, but with all their deceipt, and
much hypocracy and smooth falsehoods, the
sound OF drums, and flourish Of trumpets,
the people see the leprosy is on them, and
are making ready to drive them from ont all
the land, even unto a river called Salt liver.
l3. And surely, this faction shall sllrnl,-
die there, for the transgresSions winch they
have committed against the country, even
against the word Of the land (the constitu.
tom which they kept not, and also for ask
ing counsel of one that had familiar spirit
to inquire of it,
ii And ina,liraI not .>r the word. thare-
fore, they and this leader Stephen, shall be
slain, and the kingdom turned unto Abra-
ham the leader of the Republican host.
