The Wyandot pioneer. (Upper Sandusky, Ohio) 1853-1868, 1862-08-08

should be fortunate enough to draw
prizes than Republicans, then this great
state of Ohio must be drenched in blood |
And we suppose vice Jersa. Some may
make light of the danger we see in the
bold declarations of this traitor, Olds,
but We aoarn you to be not deceived, for
this identical doctrine was also declared
in tbs town on Monday last by one whose
loyalty, except to party, is questioned,
and who was not smart enough, only in
his own estimation, to originate it.
But the political friends of this bold
traitor may say that these are abolition
lies, published for effect against this trait
or, therefore, let us give the treason over
his own name.
Fearing that he might suffer evil be-
cause of that speech, the traitor to his
State and Country addressed a letter to
the Lancaster Eagle, on the 3lst day of
J,l last, for the purpose softening his
language, in which he says.
Il further remarked that the govern
ment in all probability would make a
draft for soldiers, and that that drafting
would be in the hands of republicans;
that the party would want to keep Repub-
licans at home to vote, and want to send
democrats away so that they could not
vote, and that no fair draft would be made;
and that if any democrat believed that he
had been fraudulently drafted, he would
refuse to so, and that a file of soldiers
would he after him, and that under such
circumstances he would resist, even at
the point of the bayonet, and that in this
way civil war would be brought upon US
in Ohio. Not one word was said as ad
vising resistance, but all was told as a
aision Of aOhat Mould be future events.
Now, Mr.. Editor, let me repeat, as a
aoarning to the Republicans, that no un-
fair or fraudulent drafting will be submit
ted to. "a word to the wise should be
sufficient.
Yours Respectfully.

Now here is no fraud. Edison B. Olds,
tie man who counsels the use of the bay
onet, in anticipation Of an emergency that
cart arise or exist, wrote it with his own
hand and signed his own name to it
Like every thing else that emanates with
the s2mi-secession portion of that party,
it is intended to prepare the minds of its
advocates to resist, at all hazards the sab
mission Of any of its members to the sup
port of the country, and yet no word of
condemnation of it will you hear from the
Democratic press of the State.
There is more danger to our country
this day from such men than from the
armed rebels of the South, and if our
country, viii all her benign influences
and institutions, and with all her civil and
religious liberty, is now lost to US and the
world, on the heads of such traitorous dem
agogues as Pillsbury, Foster and Olds,
and their followers, when her pillars shall
lie in smoldering heaps, let the condem-
nation of a ruined people rest.
But we would yet say to that noble,
brave, and true portion of the Democrat
is party, rest no longer safe over the jaws
of that terrible volcano, whose distant
thunders are now to be heard, for the
hour of danger is at hand, and amidst all
this seeming security, you may, with all
you hold dear on earth, be surrounded by
h. fl ,mes of civil war. The picture is
a dark one, but it has been painted by a
traitors hand, who feared not the cost.
In this dark hour of our State and
national history, forget the words Demo
crat and Republican, and cling to that
dearest of all, my country.
Gen. Lew Wallace on the 'Nigger Ques-
ton"
An immense war meeting was held at
Cincinnati on Thursday evening, the pa
pers estimating $4,000 people to have
been present. Among the speakers was
Gen. Lew. Wallace, one of the fighting
Generals. General Wallace is not an alb
oltionist, in the POLITICAL sense of that
Term, but is in favor of hurting the re-
bells in every possible way. In speaking
on this topic, he prefaced his remarks by
saying that he 'Fdespised the negro race
and couldn't help it.' But he looks at
the question as military man, and thus
defines his position:
"We made mistake in supposing the
negro an element of weakness in the South
Now we find him an element of strength
.' 'How?' inquired a voice.
"Iow-how? I will tell you how, and
the General proceeded to illustrate it
You are called upon to enlist. You stoI
and think; you say that you are pool
man, mechanic, or farmer; that yor
have wife and family; and if you go
