The Ashland union. [volume] (Ashland, Ashland County, Ohio) 1854-1868, 1863-09-16

gclical friend voted for one of the Committee
on Resolutions, Mr.. Blake, and made him
| Congressman. Chase approved by speech,
and Dennison by letter, of the meeting and its
objects. Giddiags was President Perhaps
you have heard of him.
DR.. B.-A nobler man does not breathe.
Mr. Cox.-No doubt you approved of his
conrse. He told Mr.. Ewing, in his letter of
the 7th Of November, 1869, that when he
SHIELD up to the Republicans, the humbug of
dissolution, that he was coward, and a SER
| vile minion ofsthe slave power you thought
him prophet. When. he advised you to
shoot down United States officers, with war
rants for fugitive slaves, pirates, you thought
him loyal patriot. When he glorifed the
State ha6eas corpus, and the guarantees for
tbs liberty of negroes, you thought him
wise man. But now, when your party de-
spises Aabeas corpus, outrages personal free
dom for white men, and, by the perjury Of an
Ohio Governor, permits white man to be
banished, not for crime, but for prevention.-
You think you are so high in your loyalty that
all Democrats are "Copperhead traitors" So
much for Giddines and the incivism he taught
and you followed
| Who else were at this revolutionary mee-
ting of traitors, to revolutionize portion of
the people again1 the Federal Government?
Here is the Committee on Resolutions
B. F. Wade, Republican United States
Senator; James Monroe, now Counsel at Per-
nambuco, an Abolitionists and gentleman
Congressman Blake, Ashley, Edgerton, Phil
emon, Bliss, BascOm, Republican editor at
Xenia Peter Hitchcock, Republican Senator;
Lieutenant Governor r. G. Kirk, and long
list. [ will not name all here. The whole
Republican party were there represented. D.
K. Garter, one Of Lincoln's adpointees to a
Judgeship at Washington, and loud Union
man now Root, of Sandusky Delano,i of Mt.
Vernon, who pretends to be shocked at trai-
tors now: Judge Spaulding, the Cleveland
Congressman President Asa Mahan, of Ober-
lin, and others, including the inevitable ne
gro Langston-1od's orator for black troops
and Governor Clase. These were the trum-
pets of sedition, whose voice inspired the rev.
olutionists. And said "Ohio shall not, in |
Gods name she shall not become the hunting |
ground of slave catchers." You applauded
that
DIR. B. assent,d
Mr.. he said "Stand steady, trust /
in God and keep your powder dry, and look
for the things that shall be-" You had pow
der too. GLaughter.l Chase made ball car
tridses at Columbus. The things that should
be, have since been-John Brown, revolution,
and bloody war for the negro.
Another said
"Let the Federal authority make the issue
and test the fact whether We will execute our
laws. They know not how soon the shoulder
ing volcano may burst under their rotten car
cases." And you applauded that, and now
have the frigid GOODNESS and -brazen effron-
terry. to appear among us aud talk, as yon did
to Mr.. Pendleton, about disloyal Democrats.
rCheers7 You do not deserve the attention
bestow, only that you are a type of a class
IF slanderers. You approved of the resolu-
ions, or "Declaration of Independence" as it
was called. You confessed that. Do you re-
member them Here is one
"That the enforcement of such laws Gas the
Fugitive Slave Law against an unwilling peo-
Die, is productive only of evils threatenia-
he public order and the stability of govern
ner tai institutions" You hurrahed for that I

very unpleasant, disorderly e
