TwRNTY-F1vR YEARs-GOOD BYE.

\
On the 18th of Sept 1910, we came to this
town and commenced our apprenticeship at the
Printing business. The greater part of the
time since we have been resident of the town
and connected with the printing Office. The
interests of the Wing, the Republican and the
Union papers we have during this whole period
of TWENTY-FIVE years, supported to the best of
our ability. The Republican and Union par
ties have both been inaugurated since we be-
came the editor of the JOURNAL, and it can not
be saving too much to assert the JOURNAL has
taken no backward steps on these platforms
the cause of Humanity and the Country. Ev-
en- in our own brief period as editor, papers
have been established, fourished for time, and
then gone down. But by pursuing straight
forward consistent course, We believe the JoURN-
AL has been established upon basis firm and
secure, and that it is now one of the permanent
institutions of Sandusky county we do not
for moment doubt. We never demanded for
the JOURNAL a support from its partizans, unless
it pleased them to bestow it. 1t has, however,
been our aim to make it such a paper as they
could support and not feel that their patronage
was bestowed upon an unworthy newspaper
Our job work we have always done and deliv-
cred when promised, and in regard to advertis-
ing our customers have had their wishes COM
piled with. While the county was Democratic
and we had no patronage whatever from the
county we had a larger circulation than any
other paper in the county, and we can only ac-
count fsr it, that the JOURNAL was the best pa
per. -
With this number of the JoURNAL our con-
nsction with the Office as editor and proprietor
c cases. We have sold the establishments RED
WAY brothers, from Medina county, o. They
are both practical printers, and also editors of
some years experience. That they will con-
duct the JoURNAL to the satisfaction of the
Union men of the county, we cannot doubt; and
we bespeak for them hearty support. One
of the gentlemen, GEO. REDwAY, has served in
the Union Army nearly three years-and being
az active helper in putting down the rebellion
he can speak of these things of his own person
alexperience
In taking leave of our subscribers and friends,
with whom we have had such pleasant and am
icable relations for so many years, words fail us
to express the feelings of our mind. These as
sociations now to be severed can never be for
gotten. Our intention is to remain in Fremont
aud seek by out door employment and more
bodily exercise, to regain the health and
strength we have in measure lost by SO many
wears confinement to Office work. ra
With the kindest feelings of friendship and

The rebels often liken themselves to the
Prodigal Son, and think that they should
be received, like him, OH the first signs of
repentance. Parson BRowNLow, for he is
none the less the parson now that he has
become Governor, shows up the points of
difference very effectively. He says:
'First-The Prodigal Son did not Sc
cede; he went with his fathers consent,
and, as the Scriptures indicate, with his
blessing. Next, he went; he did not stay
and villify the old man in his own house.
He asked for something to start him in the
world; he did not present pistol to the
old mans breast and demand his green
backs or watch. He received the portion
his father gave him; he did not press it
a modern Southern name for Stealing
And, receiving it, he started out ''to seek
his fortune" He did not retire to the
south side of the old mans farm, and Join
band of robbers who were plundering the
old man and his law-abiding neighbors.-
Receiving his portion, he quietly took his
journey into a far country. Finally, he
repented of his folly, not because the old
man whipped him into repentance, but be-
cause he ''came to himself" and saw that
he had wasted his substance in riotous
living. He went back home, not with
murder in his heart, boasting how many
he had killed, and threatening what he
would do but he bowed down in honest
cOntrition, and asked all sorts of PARDON
He didn't return saying, 81 have fought
you four years, and until was overpow-
ered," but he went back crying, 'Father,
| have sinned against heaven and in thy
sight, and am no more worthy to be called
thy son, !" and imploringly said, "Make me
as one of thy hired servants" He went
home because, throughout his entire course
of riotous living, his heart was there. He
did not return demanding his ''rights,"
his property and back rents. He did not
ask instant pardon upon the faith of an
oath of amnesty, but proposed to prove his
repentance genuine by his works. The
story of the Prodigal Son is one of sincere,
deep, heartfelt and voluntary repentance
for great wrong. Do our returning reb-
els come repenting of their unparalleled
crimes? AS long as rebellion showed any
signs of success, did they show any signs
of repentance? Are they coming back
because they love the Union, or were about
to 'perish with hunger" All who return
peaceably to their homes, cultivate friend
ly relations, and abstain from hostile acts,
discountenancing every attempt at disor-
der, should be met with the same spirit
and treated with leniency. When they
manifest hostile spirit, make them bite
the dust"

oUR CaNDIDATE FOR AUDITOR.

Four years ago, when Mr.. McCord was the
Democratic candidate for Auditor, the MesSen-
ger spoke of him as follows:
'sNo man who knows II. ]. McCord can be
found to say word against him. He has al
ways pursued an upright honest course.
Mr.. McCord has ALWAYS been consistent
Democrat and an honest man.
We have no doubt but the above is literally
true. No man can bring the least charge, with
any truth, against the integrity and honor of
Mr.. McOord. His private character is above
reproach. But in his political associations he
has always been, up to the time, and even for
sometime after he went into the army, a strenu-
GUS and consistent Democrat. He believed in
Democracy as taught by jefferson and Douglas
land, and traitors on the right hand and on the
left he determined to vindicate his right to the
name by taking up arms in defense of his
country. For this purpose he obtained COM
mission as Captain, and principally by his own
exertions raised full company of men, and
bravely and gallantly fought for the Union for
nearly three years until the close of the war;
And when he saw that the leaders of his party
had placed it on the side of the rebels he con-
sistently and heroicly refused to follow it into
treason 1t is for these services that the Un-
ion party seek to in some measure reward him
by electing him Auditor. 1t is for like servi-
ces that the Union party nominated every sol
dier that was candidate for office. II appre-
ciates the sacrifices they made, and the hard
ships they endured in the field But these
very virtues bring down upon the soldiers the
wrath of the COpperheads. 1t was bad enough
for them to fight the rebels in the field, but to
vote against the rebel allies in the North was to
commit the objectionable sin. This is why
Mr.. McCord is traduced and his private char
acter aspersed and vilified. 1t is for the SOL
diers and all other loyal and honest men to say
whether Mr.. McCord shall be defeated at the
coming election because he had the patriotism
and the will TO fight the enemies of our common

The editor of the Springfield News and
Republic writes from Oberlin:
81 have found one bolter in Oberlin; and
butone. / refer to John Mercer Langston,
the celebrated colored lawyer and orator,
who refuses to support MIR. Cox, and who
proposes to stump the State. Mr.. Lang
ston demands suffrage, and equal privileges

were so well qualified as he for its use and
for positions of public trust, the day of his
deiverance would not be far off"

HOW THEY TALKED.

As sample of how the adhereants of the
''White Mems Ticket" talked during the war.
we reproduce the following from speech made
by Joseph Oberlin, of Tuscarawas county, two
years ago when he was candidate for Repre-
sentative:
MAY my tongue eleave TO the roof of my
mouth and may my right arm be paralysed If
ever voluntarily support the war policy of
Abe Lincoln. / Am FOR PEACE ON ANY
TERMS"
This was the position of every prominent
member of that party in this county during the
last two years of the war.

though the Copperheads claimed to be the
'White Mems party the voters couldn't see
it. The Union party carried both States by
from $4,000 to 90 600 majority each, and both
Legislatures nearly unanimously. And the
city of Wilmington, in Delaware, has elected
the entire Union ticket by about 500 majority.

The Louisville Journal avows the opinion
that the admission of Southern delegates
to Congress must be preceded by the rati-
fication, on the part ofthe late Rebel States,
of the Constitutional Amendment, and by
an exhibition of undoubted loyalty. 1t says: !:
To eounteract the effects of the election
in this State and of those of the Richmond
election, In respect to the admission of
Southern delegates, the utmost circum-
spection will be requisite. To secure such
admission four things at least will, in our
view of the subject, be indispensable:
L. The ratification ofthe Constitutional
Amendment by the respective States late
ly in revolt.
II. The election of men to Congress by
the people of these States who were orig
inally opposed to Secession, as evinced by
deeds and words.
Ill The election of such men as, in ad-
dition to the foregoing, accept in good faith
the inexorable fact that Slavery has been
annihilated, as an unchallenged and an
interchangeable truth never again to be
called in question.
~. Undoubted, outspoken, present 10y
atty, without equivocation or mental eva
sion on the part of the persons elected, be-
side what are embraced under the other
three heads
We believe if all these conditions are
found to have been complied with by the
respective Southern States and people when
their Senators and Representatives shall
present themselves for admission to Con-
gress, that majority will be found ready
to admit them in both houses, especially
as the claims of the delegates will, under
such circumstances, undoubtedly be back
ed by the powerful personal and political
influence of the President and other import
ant official personages, and the entire con-
servative press of the country. If these
conditions are not substantially fulfilled,
we fear that the Southern Representatives
elect will in vain present their credentials
to the National Congress.

THE WHITE MEMS Party.

The Oopperheads claim to be the ''White
men party" Weknow that they are terribly
exercised at the sight of a black man. but the
presence of black woman creates the most
Measurable emotions in their traitorous breasts.
Let any man take up the astcensus report and
look over the statistics of that great Democrat
ic section--the Southland he will see at a
glance the difference in the estimation In which
a Democrat views the two sexes.

As the Fall Election is coming on, it should
be born in mind that by virtue of a proclama-
nation of the President of March 10, issued in
conformity toa law of Congress, dated March 3,
1863, all persons duly enrolled, or who went
beyond the limits of the United States to avoid
the draft, are prohibited from exercising the
elective franchise. 1t will be the duty of the
authorities to enforce this penalty in all cases
at the coming election.

The news from all parts Of the State is most
cheering. Many estimate that Cox's majority
will be from rs, 900 to 100000 majority, while
none place it at less than $4,000. Large and
imposing Union meetings are being held in ev-

HEAR GOV. WISE.


astOnished. Gov. Henry A. Wise, of Virginia,
the man who hung John Brown, has declared
himself to be an Abolitionist. Hear Henry:
ssThe chief consolation have in the result OF
the war is that slavery is forever abolished that
not only the slaves in fact at last freed from
bondage, but that L am freed from them. We
guess they reciprocate, Governor. Long be-
fore the war, indeed, had definitely made up
my mind actively to advocate emancipation
throughout the South.
Now here is case for the Messenger. A lamb
has strayed from the fold, and rushed into the
clutches of the AbOlitionists. The white
Mems Party has evidently lost one of the
most prominent of its flock
COPPERHEAD COUNTY NOMINATIONS.
The oopperhead Convention for the nomina-
ton of candidates for County offices was held
at the Court House last Saturday. Nothing
took place worthy of particular notice. 1t was
a very quiet concern, and everything seemed
to be fully cut and tried before the Convention
met The following is the beautiful ticket set
up by it, to be badly beaten by the Union party:
Representative Parks of Riley.
Aoditor-Edwin Half, of York.
7reGsurer-John p. Elderkin, of WOodville.
Sheyif-S H. Russell, of Fremont.
Pros. AHy-A B. Lindsay, of Green Greek.
Cornnaissio,er-B Inman, of Scott.
IntrnGry DlrectOr'-C. Clspp, of Green Greek.
Edwin Half, the nominee for Auditor, is the
only soldier on the ticket He served near two
years in the gallant 49th Regiment with credit,
and was wounded in the knee, from the effects
of which we believe he has entirely recovered.
Two years ago he voted for Brough for Govern
or, for Oscar Ball for Auditor, for NJ W. st.
Clair for County Clerk, for H. w. Winslow for
Prosecutor, and for jeremiah Evens for Sur
veyor. The other men he voted for were Dem
ocrats. So that the reader will see that at that
time he was almost persuaded to be a Union
man. Mr.. Haff is entirely unfit, in business
point of view, for the place, and the people OF
the county viii do themselves great injustice
and lasting injury should they elect him to
the office of Auditor.
Benjamin Inman, the candidate for Com
missioner, is the present incumbent He is a
good officer, and an estimable citizen, but a
most inveterate Vallandighammer
Of the balance of the ticket We say nothing
or at least not much. The old adage is, "if
you cannot say anything good of man, say
nothing" And we know of nothing good to
say in favor of any of them, especially Politi-
cally or as to their qualifications. Parks, Rus
sell and Lindsay, are old broken down party
hacks whom no one supposed could ever rise to
the surface again. We cannot account for their
nomination on any other ground than for their
utter subserviency to the South and their hos
tility to the war and the soldiers We should
as soon think of voting for jeff, Davis, as Ell
ther of them
