The Ashland union. [volume] (Ashland, Ashland County, Ohio) 1854-1868, 1864-10-05

evitable result. Then we were termed
Uniol-Sayers, slave sympathizers, and
Locofocos, by such hypocritical abolition
scoundrels like JEFF. and Miss Nancy
Now that our words lave become verified,
thsy>change front and change their names,
the better to cover their guilt and still
more to deceive the people. They as
same the name of unconditional Union
men. They are now the Union Savers.
But they are very careful, as a general
thing, to keep out of harms way, whilst
hundreds of good, patriotic Democrats
are perliing property, life and all to bring
this Government back to its original pur-
ity and grandeur froms the anarchy and
chaos into which these stay.at home un-
conditional Union men nave brought it.
Where is the promise you have made as
a party, or the principles you advocated
in your platforms of 1856 or 1860 that
you have carried out? Tell me in this
dirty, lying sheet of yours one single in
stance, or tell me where there is one pre-
diction made within that period by the
Democratic party, that is not more than
verified. Don't talk about Breckenridge
men, for you advocated their cause and
published their proceedings, calling Doug
Jas and Douglas men all the vile epithets
you and your vile partizans could find
language to express. Don't profane the
name of Douglas or Douglas men in
claiming any af1liatieh or sympathy with
so vile and damnabie a party as you rep.
resent. The secessionists in open rebel.
lion manifest more honesty than such
white negroes as JEFF. y Co., for the rea-
son that nearly every leading secessionist
is at the head of the army risking our
bullets and the halter finally, while nearly
all the leading abolitionists are filling
some fat Office, army contract, or staying
at home, away from danger, talking about
*. T. q. and secret organizations, an in
stitutlon that does not exist in any
Northern State outside of the Republi-
can party. You arrested men in Marion
county and carried them to Cleveland,
the hot-bed of Abolitionism, where the
thief and traitor, John Brown, was wor.
shipped as a second Jesus Christ, and
yet, with all the ingenuity of your party,
backed up by an assumed despotic power.
you failed to convict a single man. And
now, just about the time another election
is to come off, you two dirty pimps of the
devil reproduce this old WORKOUT cry of
Knights of the Golden Circle in your
midst and in the army for electioneering
purposes, and the better 20 cover up your
own reasonable works and de<igns.-
With those at home that you have cou-
pied with secret organizations, l have
nothing to do, as they are there and able
to answer for themselves. But when you
refer to me in connection with your com
ments upon a certain Doctor Hopkins
letter, no doubt TO sell all such damned
fools like you Chat the Fool-Killer fail
ed to do his duty on,)'I feel called upon
to veRtilate your patriotism. Any man
or men that would be guilty of such foul
and villainous insinuations would be gull
ty of stealing into heaven on a streak Of
lightning 4or1 stealing gold from the
streets of the. New Jerusalem to purchase
penny stump cigars with, and if the De-
vii, your father, had found any place
mean enough within the precincts of hell
for you, he would have called you home
long since. You talk about the people
marking me for calling such men as you
are traitors, aud claiming that you should
be shot or hung. [ want you and your
Abolition crew, white negroes as you are,
to understand that l am at your defiance.
Go on with your Spanish inquisition.-
Mark as many as you see proper. The
day Of retribution is coming. and when
this cursed rebellion and its big leaders
are disposed of, you will nave to break
for Canada, where all negroes and others
go. Individually, you may find me at
home as soon as 1 can obtain a furlough,
or, be spared from my Comnany, and then
1 shall be happy to accommodate either
of you or your cowardly cohorts at any
time and place you may select. You don't
like the result of recent elections in the
North. They are the handwriting on
the wall. They simply signify to you
that your career as q party is run, and
that the great Democratic party, based
en- principles as eternal as free govern
ment itself, still lives, and that when the
people shall have had time for second re-
f~ectien, your party leaders are damned
for ali time to come. The time is at hand
when the tax ,gatherer will come around,
and the people will ask themselves what
all this means, and who caused all this
trouble and expense. And the impartial
response will be, Ab~olitionists and Seces-
sionists. The army will sweep from ex
~istence the latter, and the ballot. box will
-
dispose of the former at the next fall
elections. Then will conservatism, rea-
son, and patriotism once more rule in the
councils of our nation, and our glorious
old flag and Union be enshrined in the
bhearts of the American people. COM
handing respect and obedience at home
and abroad. You two scabs OF Adolf
tionism, pitch in ; arouse the people with
an article hitting at me and mine, and
sign the name of "Old Folks" to it, and
be sure to refer to taxes, and then call it
K. G.. G. ; then revamp Doctor Hopkins
Michigan letter, and quote a part of my
letter to the Union from this place when
I speak of this war, its causes, effects,
and the necessary remedy, Ga letter you
were too cowardly to attack openly,) and
then tell the taxpayers of Ashland coun-
ty that a certain Captain talks like DIR.
