To the Democracy Oh Ashland
County. +

i. When my name was announced for re-nom-
ination to the Office of Clerk, several weeks
since, it was done under the impression, found
ed upon what I then supposed to be the gen.
eral feeling among the Democracy of the
County, that there would be very little oppo-
sition to my re -nomination. I never desired
a reelection secured By a contest such as now
appears evident would occur. To the end,
therefore, that the harmony and success of
the Democratic party, SO essential to the pub
lie interests in this Crisis, may be secured,
and ever grateful for the friendship manifes-
tedl heretofore, 1 respectfully withdraw my
name. h E

A BIG TIME.

There is every indication that the meeting
which is to assemble to-day, "wednesday at
Hayesville will be one Of the largest ever held
in Ashland County. Hon. Epson b. OLDs,
one of the ablcst speakers in the country, and
for some time a victim of Lincoln's tyranny
suffering in ore of Lis loathsome b~astiles, was
appointed by the State Central Committee to
address the meeting and will positively be
there. The Democracy will also be addressed
by Hon. GEo. Bliss, our member of Con-
gress, and by Hon T. J.. KENNY, our State
Senator. Turn out in delegations, float the
once honorcd old banner to the breeze, and
shout for the Constitution and Union of the
past and for the first POLITE exile of Ameri-
ca, CLEMENT LAIRD YALLANDiGHAM.

An incident.

We are advised of a bit of news from John
Norman that gives us a better opinion than we
ever entertained of a rebel. Just as he left
MEANWHILE, en- route for Dangerous Crossin gs,g
Oh the Little Miami railroad, he encountered
a 1uan with six fine horses, purchased for our
Government service. Morgan demanded at
once the six sleek chargers The owner, in q
good humor, said he thought he might divide
and take half. Morgan replied that he would,
and just as the horses were handed over the
oowner felt SO good over his luck with John
that he communicated to him some signs and
grips of the Golden Circle, of which he was
a member. eco .-s4. =
At this Morgan became enraged and sswore
be was a Confederate officer, but nevertheless
he hated "butternut , signs worse than HI,
and at once took all six of the poor, FOOLS
horses, and left him to grumble and swear.
I'VE find the above in the GAINESVILLE Courier
of July 18th. The Courier is the leading or
gan of the bogus Union party in the Muskin-
gum valley, and its statements in a matter of
this kind are presumed to be truc.0 A "but-
~ternut" is constitutional Democrat man
who is in favor of the Union and the Consti-
tution-and hence q man whom John Morgan
bitterly hates. Morgan is opposed to the
Union and SO is the bogus Union party
Hence he and they are friends. His taking
the horses of the 'tbutternut" (Democrat) is
! quite, natural, and his communicating. the fact
t9the Courier is just what might be expected.
