himself in his TRADE of low bilGngsgate against
/ the " little Reu" in his last issue, and the way
s he fumed and raved reminded us very much Of
I. the antics of that stump.teiled bovine gentle
man of whom our delicate neighbor made men.
ton fortnight or SO ago His eScitability and
consequent display of himself, in the columns
4 ofhis dis Union, over the TRUTHS we dealt out
y to him, has evidently hurt him, and instead OF
meeting the questions at issue between us. he
! rails like one possessed of the spirit of fish
woman, and sputtels forth the most vile and
. filthy sleng--a simple echo Of past efforts.
: Now we PROPOSE in this article, to deal
calmly with the gentleman, and, if we can in
dace him to & toe the trigg, bling him up to a
! line of argument upon the matters in question
| between us. Whea our ticket was nominated,
he, in his very next issue, in striking charac-
tiers, drew general comparison between the
!. nominees ON the SO called " White Mans Demo
Party, and then with great flourish of trum-
pets, in order, as he supposed, to Influence the
minds of the private soldiers, and to disparage
the claims of such men as Col. Wilson, General
Kirby and Capt. Robbins TO their confidence,
he says in the Union of Aug. 8.
In the selection of the above ticket they
have ignored the idea that private soldier has
rights that they are bound to fespect--that he
has any right Ur claims to the benefits OF their
party, so far as offices are concerned. They
(the Leaders are high hmnded-they can t look
at private soldier. They must feast the officers
the men in shoulder, straps, who have had the
easiest part in the war, and all the pay. The
above selection of candidates clearly Indicates
that the private soldier csn expect no favors at
the hands of the Republicans. All they have
for the privatc-s fulsomc tlattery which is
intended to decoy him into the support of their
party. Topreiudce him against the Democracy
and BY SO doing obtain his vote. is lhe height
of their ambition. They never think the pr-
vate entitled to official position, as long they
can scare up Captain, Colonel or General,
They think that the private's position ought to
be at the front, where the bullets fly fiercest
and the danger is greatest at the small pittance
lof $l6 per month, If there are any official po-
stions to bestow give them to the officers
hon't look at private. II private presents
himself for nomination, though a crippled and
scared hero, choke him off-call a caucus and
request big stay at home patriot to induce
hiu to give way for Captain, a Colonel, or a
General or Qua,tcrmaster in the home guards
or if This don't do, have him scratched of to
order
To this we replied in our numbers of the 9th
and 10th of August, In which we took occasion
to show up some of the political anteeedents of
this man Dumm-so that the voters of Wvan-
dot might not dwell in ignorance of the jewel
they possessed-~in regard to the vigorous pro
secutioh of the war, and the manner in which
he treated the private soldlerI and quoted some
of the Polly Snallry language which he in his
opn delicate way made use of in reference to
tho private soldiers rotes--to which he replied
in the Unions issue of the 18th August, IN
very chaSte and nrgusRentdtiGe Article, headed
I" Abom Piayed Om," which is almost wholly
made up of silly filings at our personal charac-
ter, of course expressed in the vulgar style which
is his won't and indeed the only one Of which
he is capable; and when in Our last W, gently
totched him up trife for his derelctions, he
again voinits forth, and bespotters our innocent
self with another thud of the meanest epithets
he could scare up in the English language, and
in which he boasts himself proficient. Well,
we yet survived
! As to horse-rate sweating we are q little III
the dark; not having patronized the institution
since We believe our ninth year, we trust to his
humanity to excuse OUR ignorance of the man
ner in which things are done up ON a modern
face course--=we confess to more intimate
acquaintance with the gentlemati's o#n de-
>ious courses" With reference to the literature
of the baWdy house, never having even ly ac-
cident had the miss fortune to fall into one, we
shall be under the necessity of leaning entirely
on the known proficiency of the moral Editor
of the Union for that species Of scholastic lore
we think that by careful study of the weekly
utterances of the individual, we may in time
obtain a sufficient smatterng, without resort
! ing to the fountain head--with whose inner
circle no one can deny bur cotemporary prac
tcal acquaintance. But we won't handy words
with him, we humbly acknowledge our infe.
rority, and confess that his personal gradua-
tion in the brothel and on the race course, has
made him in this respect our superior, and an
adept in the vulgarisms current in such locali-
ties Robert, without further patey, we freely
acknowledge you to be the biggest blackguard
living.
| But now TO test the sincerity of this would be
high toned gentleman, we will attempt an an
swer to a few questions he propounds to us.
He says the election this fall decides;
l. Whether or not the Negro shall hare the
right TO rote?
The Constitution of the State of Ohio in art
5, sec l, defining who shall have the right to
the elective franchise, says: " Every white male
citizen of the United States, who shall have
been resident of the State one year next pre-
ceding the election, etc, shall have the qualf-
cations of an elector, and be entitled to vote at
all elections"
This proviso in the organic law of the State
