Dayton daily empire. [volume] (Dayton [Ohio]) 1850-1865, 1864-02-04
The Spirit of the Times-wo clip The

ference between northern abolitionists and
southern secessionists, it is in favor of the
latter, who are brave, open foes, while the for
mer are sneaking assassins. The whole OBJ
ject and intent Of the following paragraph is
to justify o%utrages upon defenseless citizens,
and instigate the mobbing Of Democratic pres
SEES. The reader will bear in mind, that talk
like this, appearing in an abolition print, is
designed for circulation among the ignorant,
bisoted, ~blood-lappers, whe last fall disgraced
the American mama and character, by the de-
liberate murder of Democratic d~itizens, and
by firing upon uuarmed, and peaceful Demo
cratic processiohs-wounding and manning
women and childrenl Here is the dirty par
agraph:
Some returned veterans of the Seventy
First Ohio, destroyed several fonts Of type in
the office of the Ohio Eagle (Copperhead,) at
Lancaster, on the night of the 30th ult, in
consequence Of the disloyalty of that sheet
and capped the climax by compelling Saint
Edison Is. Odds to hang out the American flag
the first time it has been seen on his prem
ises since the breaking out of the rebellion"
We are inclined seriously to doubt whether
it will, in the end, prove profitable to abolition
communities to encourage their partisan
sheets in the inauguration of moblaw, and
the destruction of Democratic presses. We
are now upon the eve off Presidential cam
paign-one in which the very highest inter
ests Of the people are involved. The demoo-
racy will enter it with their candidates and
their platform of principles. To do this is
as indisputably their right, as it is imperatively
their duty They will enter the campaign
fully pledged to the Constitution of the Uni
ted States, and the rights of freemen-they
will enter it peacefully and intelIigently, with
facts, figures and arguments. In short, they
will endeavor in NIL things, to stand before
the world and history, as enlightened chris
tan men, capable of selEgovernment, worthy
OF its blessings, and struggling honestly to
perpetuate them. 1fthese privileges arc nc
corded them, there is yet hope for the coun.
try; but if they are denied, and met with in
timidation, threats, violence, and crime-then
let all prepare for anarchy and ruin-for ms
sure as God liveth they will fling their shad-
ows upon US like the night. Therefore WI
would warn the intolerant bigots who are
melting violence and justifying outrage, that
they may have occasion to regret it o la
