Col. Davis the Democratic Candidate for
Auditor Ghneral.


The record Of the democratic candidate
for Auditor General is not an enyiable one.
The following from the TJoga 1gitaior is
worth reading. Mr. COBB was a clerk in
the War Department.
Col. W. H. H. Davis, the Copperhead
candidate for Auditor General, during the
war, and still is, the editor and proprietor of
the D0y'estOCR Democrat, one of the most
poisonous copperhcad sheets published in
the State. While he was drawing 81, 500 d
year from the Government his paper was
engaged in the work of denouncing the war as
cruel and unjust toward the South, Abra-
ham Lincoln as a tyrant and a usurper and
every effort of the Government 10 maintain
its existence as an infraction of the Consti-
tuition and blow to civil liberty. 1t was
prominent, too, among the Journals which
sought to undermine the public credit. upon
which national integrity depended. 1t scofr-
ell at the currency glorified the Chicago
platform which declared the war against trea-
son 'atallure, and consequently pronounced
the rebellion success, Yet all this time
Davis, its editor and proprietor, was accep-
ting from the Government his sheet reviled.
the pay of Colonel! and doing his utmost
at the War office to get Brigadier's com
mission
But in playing this double game Col. Da-
Wis, only exhibited the animus of his party
during the nations trial. We affirm from
positive knowledge that the most shameless
ly- persistent Office seekers who groyeled in
Washington during Lincoln term were
copperheads and most bitter revilers of the
Government, Still, they did not disdain to
ask and receive their bread from the s:ty-
rant who occupied the Executive Chair.
And Col. Davis is neither better, nor worse.
than the balance of that faction which re-
pays, kindness with black >ingratitude.
