The Wyandot pioneer. (Upper Sandusky, Ohio) 1853-1868, 1865-05-24
The Union and Roberts vagaries.

who has been so busily engaged during the
past four years inspooning out reasonable pap
to the leges of that petteoated monarch in
the regions hereabouts. has exccllod himself in
the low billingsgate in which he indulgei in
his issue of last Thursday. 1t was a severe
attack of the Secesh cholera with which he is
periodically afflicted, and the gentleman vom
tied forth such hool of kennel vulgarity,
couched in such soul tortrring English, as to
seriously offend the good taste of all respect
able and educated citizens. If the spasms re-
cur often our worthy townsmen will have to
bestir themselves, and provide q Sanitary
Board or other barrier, otherwise the burg will
be swamped in this sea of defloment. We al
ways knew, from his antecedents, that he was
composed Of the very best material out of which
to fashion gentlemanly blackguard, but we
really never supposed that he had half the
talent for gutter vulgarity and meanness, that
he gives evidence OF in his article devoted to
our especial benefit in his last weeks paper
For loose lying, and want of principle we
think he eXccls or at least can favorably com.
pare with, any man outside of the lowest
brothel in our cities; he certainly is an adept
at doing up such dirty work, and, with the as
sistauce of two or three Of his elbow friends, we
doubt whether his, or their, match could be
found on this or any other continent outside Of
- itself For, if premium were offered for
a mean mana man destitute of all the refine
ments Of lfe--a man who can coolly override
all the barriers of cultivated society and triAe
with those feelings mort sacred to man-we
know of no one in this broad land Of ours,
more likely to win the badge of victory, or bet
ter fitted by nature and education to wear it,
than our contemporary of the Union; for there
is nothing too low for him to seize upon, in or
der to crafty his ambition to reach the highest
niche of honor, in that temple whose fame is
devoted to treason, stratagem and spoil"
Had he had our services as g net nurse" we
fatter ourselves that his tastes would have been
a little better cultivated and his general habits
in every respect superior to what they are at
present-as it is, we can not eradicate what is
hereditary that can be done only by virtue Of
" second Girt9;" which in his clse we fear is
hopeless.
But to the main question at issue in his
abored article of last week. He claims to be
the true friend of the soldiers, and then shines
us over for asking him for the fruits of his pro
fesson He denounces US as "hypocrite," liar
etc and with his old war.cry Of Rev."-a
prefix which by the by he seems fond of quot
ing--pitches into us generally. As an evidence
of what he claims to be our hypocritcal char
acter he narrates our connection with the ap.
pointment of Post Master at this place, and
says young Gibson was soldier, who lost q
limb in nobly defending the old flag in the
battle of Winchester, aud that we knew this
knew him to be soldier--a wounded soldier
and then proceeds, d-Ld-mode de Dunn, to de-
scribe a scene in dark office--a little editor
with pen in hand, writing to United States
Senator, asking the appointment of Lovett, the
present incumbent, over young Gibson. IL was
beautifully done, Bob, in the style of the best
efforts of Sylvanus Cobb, and the whole thing
q fgment of the Imagination, having its con
ception in the added brain (or that of some
kindred cranium) of the mighty Robert, he of
the Union. Now the editor knew when he|
penned that article, that when signed the Pc
tition for Mr. Lovett, did not know that young
Gibson was, or would be, candidate for the
Office and he knew that through the influence
of this office, Gibson had procured clerkship,
at $75 per month, in the Provost Marshals
office at Lima position which he held but a
short tima-and which was better take"
than that of P NJ. of Upper sandusky. Again,
this beautiful specimen of humanity-a model
of truth ard paragon Of all virtues (only we
can't quite see the truth and cirtue)-knew that
VIM. H. Lovett, the present incumbent, had
been in THE ARMY. That he served his country
faithfully for the term of his enlistment, that
he was wounded for the offenses Of such scamps
as the editor of the Union, and that to this day,
in consequence of his having felt the rebellion,
in leaden way, is disqualified for hard labor.
This he knew, and yet, whilst charging us
with Hypocrisy" he himself like whited
sepulehre was assembling, for the purpose OF
gaining political notoriety. Now, in order to
show up his meanuess, we will state that W. A.
Lovett was an original Republican and war
man; he was on visit TO some of his friends
in New York when the tocsin of war first
sounded, and he Immediately volunteered in
the 28th Regiment N. Y Infantry, this regi'
ment was attached to General Pattersons, after
ward Cen Banks division of the army--,oas
in the battle Of Winchester, fought in May, 1862
WAS SEVERELY WOUNDED THROUGH BOTH
THIGHS, on the 9th day of August at the
battle of Cedar Mountain, Va, was confined in
the hospital three months acih his ,coundS, and
was mustered out of service on the expiration Of
his time, in 1853. He served for ii dollars per
month, and received no bounty of any kind
for his devotion to his country's cause. And
yet the lying Editor of the Union says, because
we recommended a man and soldier like this
to Senator Sherman, man whose character is
unimpeachable, man of integrity, gentle
man, and one euery ocay competent to perform
the duties of the office, and failed to do as much
for young Gibson, that we were no friend to
