In the address of Gov. Brough to the
National Guards Of Ohio, which we publish

not in words, that the Democracy Of Ohio
were disloyal, and not to be trusted to go
and fight, and hence he called out the Guards
who were nearly all Republicans This is a
SANDER on the 2o0, 900 Democrats of Ohio,
which they will forgive, but not forget

in fine order. All working well and as fast
