Holmes County farmer. [volume] (Millersburg, Ohio) 1857-1926, 1864-06-30

Conscious Of having to bear the incubus
in the next political canvass, Of the most de-
servcdly unpopular man in the United
States, the 'ihoddy party is hugging to itself
the dclusivc hope that the Democratic party
will be divided at Chicago. This is the straw
to which the drowning faction of anarchy is |
conyuISiyely cIinging. d. It is gratifying to
observe that, conscious Of guilt, the revolu
tionary party has no hope save in the dream
of a schism in our ranks. That dream may
as well be broken. We have no idea off
quarreing with each other at Chicago. i
Good men and true will assemble in that
great Western city to aid and sustain each
other in one grand rally for the preservation
Of the | mon, and the perpetuation Of liberal
institutions in our country. We shall assem-
bic in spirit ofmutuaI cancellation and for
bearancc. There will be no hampcred dis
cussion and no packing Of committees. The
convention at Chicago will not be made up
of parasites, the human barnacles which
cling to place and power; greedy contrac-
tors, jesuitcal journalists, and men with
promises of fat Offices in their pockets, 1t
was fitting that such Il convention should be
held in the thoater of vienna Schenck
crusade against woman and newspapers II
WAS fitting that such a convention should
nominate the man who, upon the eve Of the
! bloodiest conflict of all time, should utter
the coarse sneer Nobody hurt" Let not
these people who have been rioting and rev
ellng during the season of national mourn
ing, these people who have invited Louis
Napoleon to destroy sister Republic, these
people who have kidnapped, by order of a
Spanish Captain General, refugee who had
sought our shores as sacred ayslum, these
people who have destroyed the sanctity of
judicial writs and the authority of courts OF
Justice, these people who have placed sol
dicrs in charge Of printing Offices for inno-
Gently publishing dispatches forged by one
of themselves, these people who have pro
yided that the tenth part Of a population
shall represent the other nine -tenths and
govern them, these people who persistently
traduce white soldiers to praise negroes
these people who have elevated President
above Congress, Courts, States, the masses
and above all written law, these people who
have leglslatcd all specie out Of circulation
and declared void contracts for its delivery
these people who have endeavored to pro
scribe, ostracise, and distranchise their pc
litical opponents in the North; in short
these people who for thirty years have work
Il cd necessarily to produce this war, and are
now working as zealously to prevent it,
successful conclusion, let not them .fmcy tia
the Democracy is going to diri,ie so that the,
mag be dG0W returned to pOWeF TO complete
the ruin Cfthe nGtioa.
There are too many vital interests at stake
for Us to fail in compact organization -
The defeat Of the Republican faction in
wolves the security Of every right cndearcC
to patriots. 1t involves a restored Union,
sound currency, a free press, untrammelleC
courts, an honest ballot, and social indie
pcndcnce. 1t involves besides, the rcspcc
Of the world which has been lost to US by
the contemplate and dastardly policy of tho
Washington clique I'VE cannot call then
! StatcSman), and it involves also hope for the
future of our country, which has well nigi
perishcd beneath the exccsses of bad mel
to which We have so long and so patiently
submitted.
With such interests hanging upon our pc
litical success, we shall come together il
solid column. with one battle cry, ''Dowi
with Lincoln's Administration. and whcI
that vast column sweeps over the field il
November, the Shoddics with their CAM
followers, treasury leeches, place men an,
trumpctcrs, their Camcrons and ForneyS
will go down before our serricd ranks llk
