Mr.. CAsKEY-Dcar Sr:-From the OCCASION
al numbers of your paper that l get to see,
learn you are strong, firm and steadfast in your
Union position. Though in Southern State,
and county where about one-half are opposed
to the war, it does nay soul good to see the
strong Union sentiments rs expressed in the
"Hol,ncs County Republican" and other Union
papers. Jl ,
Our election passed off last Monday much
more quietly, and with much better result,
so far as heard from, than the Union men antic-
ipated. The next legislature will be very strong
Union. Much more SO than the last one was.
Our Senator, FIELDS, is elected by heavy ma
iority in each of the three counties composing
the District. Our Representative, DR.. B. K.

That "Pomeroy Bill" was circulated all over
the State, and through the misrepresentation
and false interpretations played the very devil
with many good Union men. The Manassas
fight had its unnatural influence too.
There scarcely ever has been such good wheat

Mr.. CAsKEY:I was informed that Judge SAUS-
DERs of your place was here to-day asking the
people to entrust the miss-called Democratic
party again with power in our own State and
National Governmentsl Are the leaders of that
party so lost to shame, as to 60 through the
county soliciciting public offices d stations at
the hands Of the people they have SO grossly
betrayed? 1lllem .zs hHla. 7sT oHt'
Do they suppose the people have SO soon for
got the ryrannical, imbecile and corrupt admin
istratiUn of FRANKLN PIERCE and JAMES BU-
oHANAS, and the throwings of their Breslin and
the iniquity of their county officers, and levy
ing heavy county taxes for the purpose of char
ging the increase to the "Whig tax laws and
Republ lean legislatures and State offices?
l understand that Judge SAUNDERS SAYS that
if the democracy had the power, they would
settle this difficulty in four weeks They had
so called Democratic executive Judiciary and
the control of the legislative branch of the gov
eminent, only for the secession of their south
ern allies for more than that time after the re-
bellion commenced. Why. did they not settle

Will Mr.. SAUNDERS please inform us who, but
the Democratic party Of the seeded States, is
waging war against the government and the
Union, and who but a portion Of the Democrats
Of the North are sympathizing with thom.
1t is true thata great many democrats both
South and North are netting with the Republi-
cans for the maintenance of the Union and the
Government in its constitutional rights But
fear there is little, patriotism among that class
of Democrats who are prowling about the coun-
try seeking the restoration Of that corrupt par
ty TO power.eisio s ot. ra.5.t.J ~ uoE
The Repu5l;cas party is emphatically the
party of tie Union, for having resolved in their
platform, that the "rights of The States and the
Uaioa ofthe States must and shall be preserved" "
they are as one man sustaining the Union and

Hear Hun.

The Editor of the Hamilton County
Telegraph won't support either the ticket
or the platform of the late Democratic
Convention. Heed what he says and hand
this paper TO your Democratic neighbor.
The Editor of the Telegraph is only one
of some thirteen Or fourteen Democratic
papers in Ohio that prefer country to par
ty, and won't support the ticket.
Sooner than subscribe to and work upon
this platform, and be thus sold out to the
interest of the band of conspirators and
traitors at the South and thus 60 against
their country, all genuine Democrats will
see the party go TO that political perdition
to which such platform will instantly and
eternally send it. The masses of the Dem
ocracy are not ready TO follow some of their
corrupt and dishonest leaders on this short
line rout to so deep and fathomess a pol
itical hell. .ssu 5s.
No, they are for their 'country right or
wrong" and against assailants from any
and every quarter whether from without or
within. They have no sympathy with
rebels and traitors. There is no party or
political resolutions or platforms strong
enough to sever their affection and support
from their country. We thank God that
this is not a Democratic platform, and that
the masses of the Democracy will not rally
under it for moment. They would as
soon if not sooner make their bed with the
abominable Abolition fanatics of the North
as thus to lie down with armed traitors Of
the South. - ,.---.fes .s .,as s.i, is.j /
But they do not intend TO do either of
these things. They intend to support
both the principles of Democracy and their
Government irrespective of Administra-
tions. They feel in the language of the
great and lamented Douglas, that ''no man
can be true Democrat without being at
the same time loyal patriot, and that
there are but two positions TO assume, we
must be either for or against cur Govern
ment, either patriots or traitors" :"
There is being held at Middletown to
night a meeting of the Democracy of that
place to denounce the proceedings Of this
'.bastard Phaeton" Convention, to be fol-
lowed by arousing one in this city to pass
such resolutions as will be both democratic
and patriotic, and will wash the hands of
the Democracy of the stigma and disgrace
they have put upon US. There is scarcely
a Democrat TO be found in this city who
will acknowledge that be endorses the pro-
ceedings of the Convention. There is q
general and irrepressible feeling of indig-
nation Mt this abomnable attempt to com.
nit the Democracy of old Butler to the
damnable hercsy of Secession, and to get
it TO assume hostile attitude to the Gov
ernmcnt in the vigorous prosecution ofthe
war sal SO dot JOHN p. P. PECK,

{ oursroKrs AND FRANk.-A prominent man
in the Democratic party Of this county, an ex-
member of Congress, few days since avowed
himself in favor of Withdrawing our army, and
acknowledging the independence of the South
s ern rebel government. One-ha1f Of the leaders
of that party, in this, Holmes county, are in ia
vor of the same thing, though they voeiferously
deny it, and pretend to be in favor of keeping
our government whole. This is mere pretense
however, and like the gentleman referred to,
they will "own up''t to being in favor of seces-
sion, before they are six months older. They
deceive nobody but themselves Ly their Union

The Democratic Greed,


rotice the following.
The Democratic Greed.
The following principles laid down by Mr..
JEFFERSON in his Inaugural address. now more
than sixty years ago, have always been and are
still, the doctrines held by the Democratic par
ty.
We don't know whether we shall be charged
with treason, and threatened with .'halter and
"gibbet" for publishing the creed, but shall
run the risk Of that anyhow; so here goes at
venture.
Then follows gross perversion and misrep-
rescntation of that creed. for which Mr.. EsrrLL
need not fear either the halter or the gibbet,
but should fear the result of the condemnation
of all his class as denounced in the scripture.
Below give you his version or perversion of
JEEfERsoss creed of political faith and then the
creed as laid down by Mr.. JEFFERSON himself,
in his Inaugural speech delivered on the 4ih of
March, 1901, 10 the extra session of the U. S.
Senate, which may be found on page l02 d l03
of the Presidents Messages or on pag. 25l OF
