Abolition Meeting in Monroe.

hDoiltiOu ueettHs III MouTocs
The Abolitionists under the cloak of the Sol
dier's Aid Society, got up good sized meeting
on Friday last in Monroe township. 1t was rep
resented pic mic for the benefit of the SOL
diers, and many Democrats supposing that the
object went with their contributions. 1t, howev-
err turned out to be nothing more nor less than
the meanest kind of an abolition meeting The
orators were such pharisaical hypocrites an po.
litoal quacks as Rev. Jones, Foote Rowe, and
Matlock; each of whom Wed with the other IN
personal abuse, filthy bilingsgstc and downright
falsehood.
Foote is crazy creature from Wooster
Among other things he urged the Methodist
Church to expel all members who voted the Dem.
ocratic ticket. His whole speech was iargon Of
slang, vulgarty and blasphemy. If, as he would
make people believe, Heaven is peoplcd with
such fellows as him, no decent man need ever
want to 60 there. He is small bundle of dirt
nastily tied up.
Harrison Jones is Chaplain Of the 4ad Regi-
ment, o. V. |. 1t is his duty to be with his Re,
giment giving good counsel and spiritual nour-
ishment to the soldiers, ministering to the sick
and fixing their hopes upon the Redeemer of the
world, and soothing the dying and commencing
their spirits to the God from whence they came.
Instead of filling these noble and holy offices, he
is plundering the Government by drawing $lls
a month without rendering any service IN return.
Thus he becomes double robber-robbing the
soldiers of their accustomed prayers and the con.
solations of the Gospel, which are so much need
ed in the trials. hardships apd dangers to which
they are exposed, and robbing the government OF
money extracted from the toll and sweat OF the
laborng tax payers In addition to this he COW
ers himself with infamy and brands himself as a
false teacher in the violation of the lst Com.
mandment. by making God of the negro and
worshpping him he violates the Sd by taking
the name of the Lord in vain; he violates the 9th
by advising mobbing and hanging Democrats for
opinion sake he violates the Sth by taking pay
from the government without rendering labor in
return; he violates The 9th by bearing false wit
JONES' the man selected by abolitionists to slandel
the fathers, brothers, mothers and sisters of the
brave soldiers who are bearing the flag of theil
cou ntry through inhospitable climates and over
sangunary battle fields.
Rowe is fanatical hypocritc who has sowr
seeds of discord among his brethren, divided hi'
church at Iiolmosville. aud brought disgrace up
on the holy aIling of Minister OF the Gospe
by becoming one of the most contemplate polit
ical haranguers
Mr. Matlook, though not so low aud vulgar Al
the others. was enough 30 to disgust many of hi
friends. He was Chaplain of the 9th Regimen
for over year, and in tnat time preached 6v
sermons. The greenbacks in his pocket nervec
him to abuse his betters.
Several other preachers were mixed in along
but none of them said anything, nor do we kno'
that they approved of what was said.
These. reader. are the men selected by th
abolitionists ostensibly to ask assistance for ou
brave soldiers but really to abuse Democrats.
The game of deception has been played too strong
Such old abolitionists as Bigham, Whittem, an
Finneys were delighted, but the more moderat
and ho nest portion Of the party were thorough
