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

worse (as we have declared it) than slave

Ii justice were meeted out to such men,
for such remarks as the above, in times
hko these, they would be banished from
the shores of the country which long
protected them from naerited punishment.
The denunciation Of such creatures, by
any loyal press, we do not condemn, but
justify; but when men so far forget duty
to their country, and the regard they
should have for truth, as to couple them
with, and declare them to be the ruling
spirits over the great Republican and I'm
ion hosts, spread over the wide expanse
Of our country, we must then be permit
ted to declare boldly, that he who does it,
is but spreading the seeds of disunion,
and is no better than Piilsbury and Fost-
er.
But as these names and declarations
are powerless for evil, unless hen cou
pied with the Republican party. as heart
less editors for party purposes SO often do,
with the intention of deceiving the SIM
pie and uninformed of their party, still
their crimes are none the less for pro-
mitigating such doctrines.
But while we condemn the weak and
powerless, let US not forget the mighty
and strong. For while those contempti-
BILE Abolitionists are denouncing the Ad-
minstrators of our Government, SO, also
are some of the leaders of a mightier par
ty than they. And, strange as it may
seem, while the great Union party of the
North and South are upholding the con-
vulsive arms of the Government, and at
the same time are basely charged by
Democratic speakers and writers, as be-
ing A5oliionists, and many of the leaders
of the Democratic party socalled, are
both seemingly determined to destroy our
once fair fabric Of Government, by justi-
flying rebellion and denouncing the prose
cution of the war.
But let the words of an Ohio Democrat
(s) speak for themselves. Edison B.
Olds, an acknowledged head member Of
their church, of Fairfield county, Ohio,
in speeUh ON Che s1th of July last, spoke
boldly rs follows. After first declaring
this to be an Abolition war, brough.
on by their opponents, and that Mr., Lin
coin had trampled the Constitution and
the laws under his feet, &c, he said, 81
tell you fellow democrats, there is no
honor, no gain, NO glory in this war; i,
is all loss. 1t is my brother you strike
down." His brother ? Yes. When a
traitor falls Edison finds brother less, and
if he and his brothers all would fall it
would oar country bless.
But hear him again. "Now l want to
advise my Democratic friends about vol
unteering. Before 1 enlist, or before l
entice a single Democrat to enlist, l would
first know, Mr.. Lincoln, what you are
fighting for. If you are fighting for the
Constitution and the Union, say so-pro-
claim your policy This traitorou<
demagogue asks for Mr. Linceln's 'poli
cy." He gave that in his inaugural Ad-
dress, months ago.
But again. ''No Democrat will enlist
in this war, until the Administration
changes its policy and war cry"
Union men of Wyandot, do you hear
tlmt? You must cease striking down
this traitors brethren, or Democrats will
not volunteer.
But again. 81 deaounce Lincoln as a
tyrant. He has fe5ured his soul. lie
may im1orisoz me, but 1 wW still .epy ty-
rant" How much akin is this declara-
ton to that Of Pillsbury and Foster. and
just the doctrine of Southern rebels =
"And now, fellow Democrats" he says,
Il am going to have vision, which, if
it were not vision, might he tresaox.
but what now say, say in sleep, and
am not therefore, responsible" And
here is the vision. Et lays open the de-
signs Of such men as rebels, South, long
since expected to come to their relief, and
we pray God, that Wyandot county may
not reveal a traitor SO black-hearted as to
assist fn this reasonable and bloody work
for the purpose of destroying the econ
stitution as it Isl" and the "fUnion as il
was" Who, we ask, can be so deeply
sunk in the crime of treason as to endore
such bloody course. If there is such a
man in our midst, may shafts from the
Almighty's batteries in the skies find Ii
aecursed and fendish heart, and rend il
into shreds. Our once glorious Union
