Holmes County farmer. [volume] (Millersburg, Ohio) 1857-1926, 1862-06-12
The young Democracy ct.nI.

cral and the FARMER in particular. The
Republican said.
"Thc Farmer-the mouth piece of this dark
political spot of creation-favorod with no
tice of about one column, in its usual complimcn
tary style, we suppose"
Ozark political spot of CREATION" is
it? Why, neighbor, you are getting Sc
we're. You, we suppose, imagine your
self missionary-if SO, you should be
meek. Don't be too brash about the
darkness of this locality-there arc other
rays of light beside what come from the
magnificent and classic city of Cincin-
natl. Although you "wear store clothes
and chaw botten tobacker" now, you may
become acclimated SO that you will eat
potatoes, beef and cabbage and drink a
little Lager. There are hundreds of com.
mon "cusscs" round here who imagine
they know about MS much rs Cincinnati
gentlemen. "Darn it, be moderate till
youget acquainted and live on common
GRUB" while, and your optics may
then discover little sunshine in this
"darll spot of creation"
The RepuJiican further says
"The Farmer eulogizcs Vallandghan's address
and yet proclaims that his party does not fellow.
ship with traitors. Davis is much the best Of the
two men,"
The address referred to is that Of the
Democratic Members of Congress. Our
neighbor should publish the address be-
fore he finds so much fault with it. lie
has readers who are capable of judging
Of it's merits and demerits. If those who
read his paper do their own thinking and
come to their own conclusions, he should
publish the address so that they can at
tack it, if they think proper but if his
head contains all the brains of the party,
and he does all the thinking and forms
all thc conclusions for his party friends,
then, we admit, he can decline its publi-
cation without doing injustice to his
friends He calls it NALLANpIGHAN' ;
address. There is not very much in n
name. The address was written by Col.
RIcHEsoN, Of Illinois, the bosom com
panion of SrErHES a. DouGLAs. On
the first page of to-day's paper is one
Of Col. RIcnEsoN's speeches how does
our neighbor like it? Our neighborpre-
fers JEFF DAVIS to VALLANplGHAM We
do not wonder at this, for while Aboli.
tionism has helped DAVIS, he has helped
Abolitionism. DAVIS has helped your
cause, Mr.. RepuJiican, and we do not
wonder that you feel grateful to him for
it. BY the way, if NALLANplGuAM is dis
loyal, Why don't your Congress cXpel
him
Our neighbor handsomely defends his
party against the charge Of public plum
der, as follows:
sour neighbor charges the Republican party
with rohbiug the treasury etc, aud says the De
mocracy should be restored to power in order to
protect the pockets of the people. This certain
ly designed as n Joke. Rob the treasury of the
leayings of the late Democratic administration !"
Why, neighbor, amt you ovcrrating
the virtue and honesty of the Republican
party? We have before us q little book
which contains LOO closely printed
pages, the report of Republican lnves-
tigating Committee, issued during the
first year Of this Republican administra,
ton, which is filled from end to end with
the evidence OF corruptionS of Rcpubli.
can holders, appointees and army
contractors. Then, Mr.. DAWES, Re.
publican Member of Congress from Mas
sachusetts, said in Congress, a short
time ago:
"The gentlemen must remember that IN h'
first gear of Il Republican Administration, whicl
came into power upon pl otessions Of reform ana
TetreRohment there is iRdubitaJie epideRce dbrOac
IA The land that somebody has piundcred he Pub
lie Treasury reH nigh in that single gear as mncl
as the entire current gedriy CrpeRses Of The Gop
trnnieHt during The Administration rhch The peo
pie hurled from pooer because Of lis corrupiions "
We might fill this paper with otho
evidence Of corruptions, peculatons an,
public plunder but we do not want to b,
hard on our new neighbor.
Our ncighbor is coming round on th,
condsealion question. In the RepaJlicm
OF May 22d he said
LET Congress pass a oonfscation law. and Tia,
civil authorities can thcn ret the slaves of rcbe
masters at liberty and appropriate the effects o
Al! rebels to deiraying the expenses of the war
The above confscates the property Of
oil rebels, and points out the manner Of
setting the slaves at liberty.
The Republican of June 9th says:
"We are In favor Of confscatng all propert
Of all leading and wealthy rebels-not those VIII
have ignorantly and unwillingy gone into IA
ranks TO Gght against the Government"
The reader will discover quite diff
ference in the two propositions. Neigh
Dor you are getting roundabout wear
in welr' doing.
