The Wyandot pioneer. (Upper Sandusky, Ohio) 1853-1868, 1864-11-18
GESL, McCLELLAN,
Dear Sir.

Dear Sir.
u Election is over, and
Wyandot County have stuck to you like grim
death to nggAr" We thought last night after
the returns from Crane township were in, that We
had the Abolishenes. and there upon, in good
old Democratic style. we all got drunk drink
ing to the health Of president Mcclellan. ]
tell you, General, we all got "muchy" drunk
so drunk, am fearful we did not know which
end was up, and some Of US aint sober yet, nor
will we be for month to come, ifthe news con
tinues to com, N a. bad for our cause, as it has
this morning. General we voted every thing
we could get hold on for you, and we spoiled a
monstrous sight of whskey in the good cause
We voted early--we voted often-we voted late
and as a consequence we beat them, horse, hoff
dragoon, tail. eyes and all. tell you General
the pe5ky Abolish hunted their holes, 1t made
me feel good to see them absquatulate from the
Court House-all on em-save and except one
Pelcnius who was in tight place and could not
move being one of the clerks Of the election,
but he looked awful blue, and reminded me Of
an old rat knawing at file, l felt good, awful
! goo |. aud hollered-and hollered-and holler
ed-loud and long for the little abolish editor,
but he had smelt catfish, and had got into
his hole, and do verify believe, General, he
drew the end in after him, nor do Ibslieve salt
petre could have got him out Of it, for tell you,
my Democratic eyes never saw him for "a
hours after. May be General, you may think
was slightly under the influence ofthe "Oh be
joyful" but never bit of it, for know | was
not, because when get tight can always see
double and hardly ever get mixed in the
brain, without it comes from pouring the ardent
into my boots to keep my corns from hurting:
and declare, General upon the verasity of
Democratic gentleman, that never felt easier
in my corns than did last night, and aeeor-
dinghy, did not put anything in my boots, and
consequently, it would have been wholly i'm
possible for me to have been intoxifuncated.
understand, that like q true Democrat | was
81 chilly, singly and severely, shot in the neck,
just by way of carrying out, before the Abolish,
the true Democratic idea of free drinks Well
General, am informed this morning that we
are beat, beaten awfully bad, and that all our
devilment in your behalf was for no use, but,
General, we stuck to you--Gunboat or no Gun
boat, we voted for you, and like true Demo
Gratis, we, in the last ditch at one of the
Groceries in this city, died for you. We were
true to You, and to the principles of the Democ-
rscy; and you can't blame us for your defeat
We pity you, General deep down in the bottom
of our marrowfat bowels, we pity you, but that
don't help the cause, only it shows our com
misseration for you. Well General, it is too
bad, we were making big calculations on who
should be Post Master, and we held meeting
and appointed an Assessor and an Assistant As
sessor, and lawsa gracousl SO full ofjoy we felt,
that we had funeral dirge prepared to sing O.
yer the political grave of Quo Warranto Long
Tom, the deputy collector of this county. But
.he old cuss struts down here this morn
ng as big as ever, only little more so, streach-
es his neck yard longer, standing about
,wo feet and half higher in his boots than he
did OF the last election, and says:"Jeems-you
-quite-come-it." And then by way Of
antalizing of me said. v"How-are-you Little
Mack ohl'General my blood boiled in my J.
yeins. and felt like "driving him to the wall'
!, you did the Rebs at Antietam. but I choked
t back and asid; "never you mind, old Coon,
he people wont stand the usurpation Of old /;
Abe any longer than four years more. "apd then l
Ie saickered and said; they "wontj hal Jinimyi
vou-are-all- wrong,"and with that he turned a.
ound, and locking arms with that double, fist
d Abolish man -smasher, "Bdlly Brooks. walk
d away; and then who should pop inupon me
'ut that Little Editor crying out Jimmy! how
do-you do, are your bowels all lright t-haye you
card from the election" and all such kinds of
uestions, all oftkem put to excite me, but, Gen.
raj kept cool. for I knew it was no use to get :
,ad, for we were beat and lac day the Pos
ficers and all the other Officers were gone for. p
,ur years more.
Well General we are beat, but Wysndot
ounty stuck toyou, and we are indebted to tn
I'D constitution water" for the result. The
