The Wyandot pioneer. (Upper Sandusky, Ohio) 1853-1868, 1865-06-21

| MFSsRs, EDirORs.-ln the so-called democratic
: (?) Union, of December "a, 1863, appeared the
: following, viz: " We have report in the New
J York Herald's Washington special that the
/, Democratic members of Congresshad meeting
to discuss their future policy, and that there
was general feeling for voting men and mo-
+ ney to carry on the war vigorously. Tbs as,
doubtless, a lie made om Of ,chOle cisth. DEMO
GRATIS have made up their minds, if the odr
r.dchtns is to continue to run, that the RErupLI-
CANS should keep it in motion. 1t is their war
they started it, and they will be held respon-
sble for itss rcsuts."
(The italics in the above are the wr'ters)
This being !" Republican war;" it became
so dshonorable that DUNN and his party
wouldn't light for the Government then, but
would rather see /" Lincoln's minions" whip
ped, and the "Tyrant' Abe dethroned, and
the soldiers vote refused, # by doing SO Dumm's
party could, by fraud, remain in office in our
Court House. ....
Mr.. Allen, delegate to their Convention at
Chicago, in speech there said, If we can not
dethrone the tyTant Lincoln by ballots, we can
by bullets !" This was not denounced, but
applauded, by his Democratic (N hearers and,
like the dew from the morning grass, it was
lifted up and passed Onward and eastward un-
| til the fatal bullet, from the hand of one Aliens
servants, did PROSTATE in death our nations
chief! but not until tr"ason's shroud had been
well night wrapped around the Democratic
Southern kingdom, and until its borders flap |
ped full in the face of those Northern dema-
gcgues and rebel or sympathizing mid~'res
who had contracted, for price, to deIip~ Jeil
Davis and his murderous bands from Black Re
publican rule, or niSrule as they said.
But all the war is ended-Lincoln is dead !
The suffering monster failed to be delivered !
the midwives wear long faces Offices held
by fraud will soon expire and the brave sol
diers-yes those " Lincoln minions ARE re
turning to their homes, all covered with glory,
while their short time-ago reyiers again want
office
But again, on the sth day of June, 1865, un
der the caption of Returned Soldier" that
same Union (?) says, in referring to Lieutenant
Bowsher, as follows: CATER recruiting his |
health for few weeks, in view of the fact that
the country demanded the services of all her
sons" etc; and again at the close of the article
he says, May he long live to enjoy the Peace,
which he has 50 honorabIy and noJly helped to
conquer"
Yes, Mr. Union, it is a fact that the country |
did" demand" the " services Of every man, or
" all her sons" to crush treason and save the
country from ruin, but how and where did you
and your minons" respond to that demand.
The first quotation in this article tells Just how
Traitors were at the door of your national cap
ito, to destroy lt--they sought the destruction
of your country-they were starving to death
those who had responded to the first demands
of their country, and yOu kaec H!-they were
attempting to burn to ashes your northern cities,
and you knew it--and yet, in view of all this,
yoti cowardly declared that Democrats had
made up their minds to let " Black Republi-
cans save the country alone, by standing by
its glorious banner, the Stars and Stripes
Yes, Bro Dunn, and as necessity to save
those brave (?) Court House Do Dos from fall
ing short of feasting on the county's official
crumbs, while The brave Bowsher was breasting
the storm of 1eaden hail, you, with others, had
the eommendable bravery u to rsiect his rote,
given in accor dance with . constitutional law
of your State, although he was where his
" country demanded his services !"
lie sought not as did you, in your dark
of the Sons of Liberty" to deter his
Government from crushing TREASON in every
form! He went not armed, as did you, lest
his offended countrymen might charge him with !
dislogalty, mol when the proud waves of
treason, made prouder yet by the continuous
breezes of Northern sympathy, were dashing
against the brave Bowsher and his companions
in arms, where towering forts and deaths mes
sengeB met them at every step, in defense OF ,
our country which demanded the services of ,
all her sons, as you say~-you were adding fuel I
10 the Southern flame, and bidding defiance to
The Government of the loyal States You were |
building up the citadel of treason, and trying
70 crush to earth and subdue to treason not
,nly Lieut.. Bowsher, but your country! Whilst |
ne was fighting to save your country and your
lome from the torch cf traitors, invited onward

If Lieut.. Bowsher acted an honorable and
noble part in his country's cause, then what 9
hall We call the part you acted in the same
ause? Your part, sir, was that which Satan !
would play in the realms of bliss, could he but
,noy the same privileges that you enjoyed. If
3owsher's part was honorable (and it was),
hen was yours most dishonorablc. If his was
loble, then was yours most ignoble. If his was
,rave, then yours was cowardly. If his was
manly, then yours was mean. If his was for
lis countrys good, then was yours false to her c
demands upon you. t.
All, yes victory has percbed upon the ban !,
