For the Ashland Union.

Sirs-To redeem a promise that we would
occasionally write for your paper, we seize
that instrument mightier than the sword
to inform you how "things is workin" in
old Vermillion. ~.
A few days prior to the Chicago Con-
v%ention, the Abs here were perfectly ex-
tasted with the anticipation that there
would be division of the Democracy,
and, consequently, too candidates would
be put upon the Presidential track-onc
for war and the other for peace, Alas !
vain hope. When the news came that
LITTLE MAC was unanimously nominated,
it fell like a pail of darkest midnight up
on them; their lower jaws Immediately
dropped about six inches. Truly, they
were the most detected, God-forsaken
looking specimens of the genus homo, we
ever beheld. They received it as the
death-kDell of the Abolition party. 1t
was the handwriting on the wall, but un.
Liz that MhichLNaAWritten ON COR
geous walls of BELsHAZzAR's palace. it
did not require wise men to interpret ii,
as it was inscribed in glowing characters
that could not be misunderstood, that the
days of the reasonable, Abolition party
weie numbered that the present imbe--
Gle, tyrannical President would be hurled
from the place he has ~disgraced, by the
votes of a liberty-loving people, to merit
ed and eternal oblivion.
We Observed among these minions Of
the LINCOLN Despotism, one Rev. A.,
who has %"stolsn the livery of Heaven to
serve the devil in" who lounges around
the stores and stree: corners, talking pol
itics and abusing all who do not sing no.
sannas to King ABE. On the Sabbath,
this Rcveren1 (Heavcn save the mark )
goes to the sanctuary which he has des-
ecrated, and, instead of preaching the
GOSPEL of PEACE, he insults the Throne
of the Most High, by bclching forth from
the depths of his malicious heart, the
most malignant hatred and i'll will against
all who are not in favor of wading through
.eas of human gore to liberate the niger,
the God he worships. More moi in re-
gard to this political saint.
1t will be remembered that a little over
a year ago, a number of negroes were
stolen from the South BY q red-headed,
foul-mouthed, white-livered Aboiit:onisi,
of Hayesville, and sent into Vermil ion
township. JOHN SCoTT, ST., got one +
them ard the balance were distributed
among their Abolition brethren AT r
JOHN SooTT, Sr, left this mundane
sphere, the darkey was inherited by JOHN
SCorT, Jr. For a time, nothing occurred
to mar the happiness of john and his sa-
bel brother. But it is a long road that
has no turn. The darkey got into some
difficulty, and SCOTT advised hin 10 en-
list. This was about the time that Mr..
ABE issued his call for 100000 more
men, to be slaughtered upon tie bloody
altar of fanaticism, and SCOTT, smelling
the battle afar eff, gave the niger $50
to go as substitute, to save his putrid
carcass from rebel bullets, telling hun
q la JEFF the individual Of bounty mon
ey noforiety-that he couldn't get as
much from any one else. That his ras-
cality might not come to light, he attempt
ed 70 Jr.6e his substitute to keep mum.
''This," In the language of the thing who
sits upon the throne at Washington, ere
minds me of a little joke" which occur
red while Montgomery township was buy
ing recruits last fall as your readers are
familiar with it, We will not give the Joke
1t, perchance, any one has forgotten it. we
would refer them to the ass-tute editor of |
the ashland Times.
But We are not done with this loyaI,
m~iscegenist yet. The citizens of This
township were exerting themselves to the
to clear it from the odious draft
Mr.. SCoTT offered them his substitute for
S400. They were willing to take him but
the Committee appointed to solicit sub.
scriptions had not tEen reported, and thew |
asked this Spectator in negroes to wait
until the next evening when the Commit |
tee was to report. This he refused to do,
and took his substitute away from his own
township and sold him in Wayne County
s50Ol Horrible Only think of it I!
This bypocritical sycophant who has been
bowling loud and long against Southerns
for selling "human beings not only
this ignorant niger ont of. $3.50,
himLdoRn into dixie to be food
for Southern. bulletsi "Oh! consistency,
thou art q jewel" but not an Abolition
one.
After clearing $3.50 in '~traficking in
human fesb,p he refused to pay the s1GO
which he subscribed, Notwithstanding an
other member of his family is subj ect to
the draft.
There is no depth to the meanness and
to which this cra~ven-hearted, bio
lying, pettifogRing, horsejockey
will not descend for money, He has been
heard remark that he didn't care a curse
friends unless he could make money
of them.
MEssRs. EDIToRs, pardon US for oc-
so much space in noticing this
unprincipled scoundrel.
Very truly yours,
ANXIOUS.
