The Wyandot pioneer. (Upper Sandusky, Ohio) 1853-1868, 1865-08-23
Our Neighbor.

Our Neighbor.
Our cotem up town thinks we are about
played out" and can DO nothing but harp on
his, " Bob's," donkcyship. Now, we are averse
to bandying words, merely for the sake OF be
ing worly, but think that the points we make
on him he will do well to notice and remember.
When we hear a man with his antecedents, and
the record he has been so busiy engaged in
scribbling out for the past four years staring tvs
plumply in the face, singing the praises Of the
soldiers, now that wicked and an ungodly
rebellion (ior the primary principle Of which
he has fought toothand nail, and is still fight
ing) has been crushed, we are led to the opinion
that there is an extensive coored gentleman
somewhere in the wood pile. Now, the fact is,
that the entire ticket which is Haunting at the
head of chat deectable sheet, with perhaps one
or two exceptions, were members of that oath
bound, he'll born governmental opposing, Secesh-
helping organization, styled The Sons oil
Liberty" win you inform your rcaders-now
be candid for onee--whet not Capt Worth
was the leader Of that organization in Pitt
township? Tell us whether H, A, Hoyt, your
candidate for Auditor, was a cfoaker for
"xor ANOTHER DOLLAR OR ANOTHER MAN" and II
he is not now holding an Office which he kaoaos,
gou know, and every honest man kno,os, was
stolen, by a mere legal iechnica!lty, from the
popular will of the people, as expressed at the
ballot box? Will you tell the brape soldiers
whom you now so laudate-in the self same
sheet in which you directly charge them as
having fought for the equality of the negro the
enslaving of the white, and the saddling of the
poor with taxes for the benefit of the rich
whether Hoyt did not take that Office kno'cing
that he was not elected to it?
viii you tell the people whether Billy Good
bread of Nevada, was not member Of the
Sons of Liberty, ana d leader in Eden and
Antrim townships?
VIII you tell the people through your sheet,
whether one Robert DUNN, Justice of Peace,
was not one of the self same justices, sitting
with the chief Of sinners, Curt, Jr.-who now
appropriately heads the insurgent ticket, whose
members are all inoculated with the same vfcs,
and whose ris throughout the W hole contest
has been unitedly exercised to disrnember and
overthrow a government, the most precious
legacy ever left by any age to its successors-
when he, rs Clerk of the Court, refused to count
the soldiers vote, thereby DISTINGUISHING the
very men who were then standing as q wall Of
fire between bur homes and ruthless and
traitorous foe?
Will you, Robert, tell those brave men whom
you now profess SO much love and regard for,
whether gou were not member of the Sons Of
Liberty, and did not upon one occasion say
"DAMN THE SOLDIERS VorE ?"
Will you tell the people whether, in saloon
in this village, upon the arrival of the news
of the failure of the exploded mine in front of
Petersburg to effect the object designed by the
commander, you, and few of like sympathetic
Kidney for your dear southren brethren, did
not, over the flowing bowl, rejoice in the dis
comfture of our brave men2
Will you tell the people, whether you and
your candidates, who are now asking them for
their suffrage, did not do all in your power to
oppose volunteering, and made rallying cry
of "Rather die in your oson door-yards" than
submit to the demands of the Tyrant Lincoln?
Now we want answers to our interrogatories.
You blame us for nominating soldiers for office
--men who have been tried in d baptism Of
blood-fnen who have helped save the old flag
from disgrace and the country from ruin, and
who have claims upon the affections of the peo-
pie, and should be remembered by them at the
ballot-box, over and above men who did all in
their power to secure the triumph Of the rebel
government, and stayed at home to steal offices.
The intelligent and loyal voters of Wyandot
county will find no difficultyiu determining
which ticket is worthy of their outrage.
