The Hancock Jeffersonian. [volume] (Findlay, Ohio) 1857-1870, 1864-05-06
sfIeiiish.


The crisis Of the warts near at
hand. General Grant, to. end the
war---to destroy the rebel armies
to make sure of decisive victories
called for more men. Gov. Brouel
called upon the militia OF Ohio to re.
spond to this call---to take up their
arms and serve their country in the
field for one hundred days.
To such q call as this IL would
seem that every citizen of Ohio wo' d
say Amen, but it is not the casc.--
The Hancock Comrier of last week
contained nine items on this subject,
of which the following are the mild
est. Read them:
WANT TO EXCHANGE. Some of the
National Guard, WHO were so fond of
wearing "regimentals" that the Com.
'pany had 10 pass bye law, lining all
who wore their uniforms except when
on drill, have become suddenly dis
.gusted with "suits of blue" and wish
to exchange them for suits of a more
sombre hue.
A SoLnoQUY Passing along the
street last Monday, we overheard the
following soliloquy of a disconsolatel
looking individual dressed in blue:

DRAFTING One ofthe ravorite ar.
guments of the "loyalsts," last Fall

would be no more drafts. Well, they

ice,s, upon the receipt of "the call"
last Monday, were in the same fix as
one of Byron's heroes:
Jack was emharrasscd-never hero more |
And. as lie knew not what to say, he sSOrc. |
MAD. D.-Some of the National
Guards were inclined to he slightly
wrathy on the receipt Of the news
that they were ordered out. One of
them expressed it as his opinion that
"Brough was n id scoundrel,"
while another was going to "give
George one of the cussedest lickings
he ever had'' for inducing him to en-
list in the Independents. Don't let
your angry passions RISE" most gal
liant Volunteers !
Wonder if the VOLUNTEER Militia
will keep step to the tune of "Bully
for Brough," rs they did at Toledo ?
We guess they will substitute some |
other tune.
The men at whom these sncers and
jeers are directed, are now standing
between the Editor of the Courier
and destruction. They are part of
that living wall that is keeping the
hosts Of the enemy out of our own
peaceful State--that ensures to us
peace and prosperity. They arc now
q part of the glorious army fighting to
that Government under
which the Editor of that paper has
grown old and rich--to which he
owes all he has, and all he is. The
rebels south could not have display
ed more opposition to the movement
than he has, and we doubt not that
the opposition of both proceeds from
the same motives. The National
Guard is an important part of the
company that is to crush the REBEL |
ion, therefore neither the rebels or
the Courier like them.
We ask tee Soldiers in the field to
read these snecrs at the brave men
who are coming to their help. We.
ask the fathers OF the soldiers to no.
tlce this treatment of those who are
going to the aid of their sons. We
ask all who love their Government
to mark the things who are throwing
filth upon the men who give up bust
ne"s and home to go to its rescue.
There is day of reckoning com.
ing for these northern snakes.
