Of our brave men who wore rnshing to defend the
Capital Of our Union, was shed by tho hands Of the
vile traitors. They bad no tears for those bcreaved
by tho murder Of our patriots but they hercely
howled when the dastardly assassins were hurried
without "due process Of law" 10 forts and pris-
Their morbid sensitivaness on behalf OF ar
rested culprits, indicates consciousness Of their
own disloyalty, for II is not within our knowledge
that any loyal man Of Ohio has any distressing
apprehensons that his body may be taken for ireach
cry 10 freedom.
Again; They prctendcdly frightou themselves
and attempt 10 alarm others, with the enormous
expenditures Of the war, the depreciation Of money
aud the heavy taxes which must opbress the p9o-
pie. The blood Of your comrades shed by the reb-
els at Stone River, and all the other battle fields
whore brave have fallen docs not so stir their
souls as the great fall Of the currency. The moth
and sisters Of Ohio, who have lost the props Of
their homes and hearts, have unmurmuringly
given IN their country the dearest idols Of their
love; while these croakers hav0 made the air vo-
cal with the bereavemcnts Of their pockets. With
such mercenaries, 1t must be immateral whether
freedom or tyranny prevails.
The last act in those false performances is the
unpatri0tc attempt to inciit le prejudices of our
soldiers, by representing the conflict as war, not
for the Constitution and the Union, but for the
emancipation Of the negro. II is an unfortunate
coincidence that these professed Union men and no.
torious rebels should so fully concur in sentiment.
But for the proclamation, say they, we would have
cordially cOoperated in the vigorous prosecution of
the war. Ohio knows that this is a base pretense.
The same men who howl about emancipation, be
walled in equally strong tones atthe arrest Of Kane
and his compeers in perdfy; the disbanding of
the conspirators at Frankfort and every vigorous
act and policy Of the Administration which has ten
dcd to crush the rebellion when these suspected
patriots she'll show the same enthusiasm in speak
ing of the victories Of our arms Of your bravery and
achievements OF the triumph of the Union over
the rebellion and Of the perpetAation of those
great principles which constitute our national glory
that they now exhibit for the negro and the mis-
fortunes Of the rebels, their Clalnors against the
Government and the Administration will at least
have the appearance of being the utterances Of
honest hearts.
We say to you, our brave eountrymen, that our
wishes, our prayers, our purses, and IL need be
our blood, shall be given to sustain yon in your
places ofperil Wehnve no politics and no party,
but the Union and the Constitution. IL there are
those with who will attempt to pollue our great
mission with any peculiar or parlizan views, we
will repudiate their dssecrdtion of our high and
holy purposes. Il there are money changers in
our ranks who will speculate upon the wants and
gains Of the brave soldiery, we will scourge them
from our communion. We unitedly pledge to you
and the great cause to which you have dedicated
your all, our ly.s our fortunes, and our sacred
honor. While you guard us from the hands
Of the rebels, we will guard YOU from the treach-
cry of domestic traitors You have aroused us to
proper contemplation of the enemy in our midst
That enemy must and will be conquered by appeal
by argument, and by all the motives which can be
summoned to move the heart of patriotism. We
dread civil strife but not so much as we dread
the rebellion. We are ready to meet any issue
however fearful, that we may save the Constitu-
ton and the Union. -
Soldiers of Ohio BE of good cheer The dawn
of brighter day for our country is breaking. A
healthiul reaction Is now in progress among the
masses of our people, and they are detecting and
exposing the false pretensions and hypocrisies of
dccicvers. They are beginning to realize the true
and great issuetho Constitution and the Union
against the rebellion and they are preparing for
any and all sacrifices which may be needed to Sc
cure victory. Tho liberal, the enlightened, and
the patriotic of other lands, are arousing to full
view of the nature Of our contest and they are
now sending their welcome greetings to the friends
Of Constitutional Liberty. Wait, and watch and
tighta little longer and the great triumph for YOU
for us, and for the world, win come. Justice, truth
humanity, and tho svmpathcs Of the good and lrNe
in all lands, are with us. And He who guided or
fathers through the perils Of the Revelation, will
60 before us and be our rerc,,ward rs va ndyant
to the overthrow OF the rebellion ~
