THE yANDALs AT WORK.

We are informed by a gentleman just
arrived from Columbus that Lincoln des-
potism of the most odious character was
practiced at the polls at Tod Barracks on
Tuesday. It appears that there were
aboat 1900 Democratic voters in the Bar
racks, and the shoddy buzzards exercised
their power to deter them from voting By
requiring every man to show the heading
to his ticket, and if it were "Democratic,"
he was barred of his right to vote. Hon.
s. s.. Cox, candidate for Congress in
that district, was refused admittance to
the barracks to circulate his tickets, while
his opponent WAS free to go and come
when he pleased. Yet these lousy thieves
and masqued Williams are ready to howl
free ballot and free negro, while they are
wickedly engaged in d~isfranchising white
men who are out fighting for their coun-
try. These vandals who deceitfully claim
to be the friend of the soldier, and are
SO much interested in parrading the term
+ e.
"Copperhead" before the public to hide
their own enmity and perfidy to the citi-
zen and soldier Has it come to this, fell
low citizens, that the elective franchise is
to be limited and abused by a set Of felo-
NOUS scoundrels and villainous jay-hawk.

the men engaged in this laudable work Of
deceivipg their fellow,men and neighbors
at home, is not of that kind, it il. true,
thstis calculated to insure success to their
efforts. REepeople understand, or at least
should, after living through four years of
unparalleled fraud, thievery and deeep-

1T is not snpposable that Democrats are
to.be>efected by any such peddIing efforts;
but the idea is to hold those who are wa
hveringin their faith In LINceLv. To ali
such we would say, 5s.care There is no

power and influence, will not bring it to
bear to deceive you, and retain that pow
erswhich they SO recklessly desire to ex-

of this kind that ABRAHAM 1 ever got to
be I, and it would be well for the people
to consider before giving heed to those

Abolitionists of Ashland county by the
result Of the election on last Tuesday. F
The result having been learned, Beer, the
Abolition candidate for Auditor, could.
have been seen parting with Bounty Jef,
and leaving town on a one horse sled,
while at the same time the Bounty Buzz
gard, with a clean shirt collar and a large
pair of spurs on, could have been seen
making tracks for his hole with a coun-
tenance that was as agonizing as it is ugly.

The bright prospects and hard labor of
Tuesday all went for naught, and the

sympathy could avail anything We would
be ready to comfort them, but the people
have spoken and we leave the suckers to
reap the reward of their felonious and
criminal conduct in trying to deceive their
fellow men.
