MEssRs. EDIToRs :--In peruslnS that
Abolition sheet, The Ashland Times of
Sept. 22nd, 1864, the editor of which in
our opinion believes a Congo superior to
a white man, we noticed an article from
which we make the following extracts,
viz:
"Those who vote against Mr.. LINCOLN,
Vote to recognize the Southern Confeder-
acy and the Independence of the rebel
lious States.
Vote to destroy and disnember the
great American Union Vote to haul
down the Stars aud Stripes and drag
them through the mire and filth.
Vote themselves oolcdrds. snedhs and
reneyades to liberty and to the cause of
the oppressed
Vote themselves not men, but traitors
and baseboIn coudc9s, unworthy of the
hname, American citizen"
Vote themselves as only worthy the
curses of all cool men, and patriots, of
their children, and their children's chill
dren ; and Vote themselves a permanent
situation in the place prepared Tor the
Devil"
Is the editor of the Times crazy? a
fool, a lunatic ? if so there is, a building
in Columbus called tho Lunatic Asylum,
intended especially for such persons, and
he sh Juld be sent there Immediately for
such persons should not be permit
ted to run at large. However, he is too
co,oardiy to be dangerous. yet he might
be dangerous in a sneaking way. He
may resort te such loao, degraded; dis
g2sting, detestn6le, Insignificant, mem
harrangues for Political capital to influence
weak minded men to support his ticket,
for no sound minded, intelligent or sensi
bic man will countenance or be Influenced
by such trash, and to simmer the thing
right down, we do not believe Old JEFF.
With his small amount of sound sense be-
ieves it himself. We think the editor
of the Times must be troubled with the
"Bounty" on tho brain, which transaction
was exposed through the columns of the
Union last spring. He uses vile epithets
in the above article against the brave SOL
diers who ARE MCCLELLAN supporters
who have barred their bosoms to the storm
Of leaden hail on many battle fields to
sustain our nationality and tho glorious
old Stars and Stripes, the pride of our
nation. We are doing all this, while he
the poor miserable, deluded dupe, is sit
ting at home in his cosy chair, writing
articles slandering the poor soldiers who
are enduring the hardships and privations
of camp life, and the battle field, afraid to
expose has rotten, 6loated carcass in the
land of Dixie.
We the unders gned members of the
roth Reg't. o. v. T., who are strong
MCCLELLAN supporters, deem him, and
his filthy sheet unworthy the conntenance
of honest people, and him. to mean and
degraded to occupy a remote corner in
tie pl2ce prepared for the devil and his
imps. %(Sign,d0
