The Wyandot pioneer. (Upper Sandusky, Ohio) 1853-1868, 1865-10-25
Wandering at Will.

Our principal and military head GALL laud be
to Davy Todd for chat same) or as his Loco
Foco opponent Is wont to style him, the e.
/" Reu," being abroad on his travels for the
past fortnight, our local columns. owing to his
absence, present rather metger bill of fare,
lacking their usual spice and variety. We had
some thought Of calling in the aid Of scissors
and paste-pot, and committing raid on the
sarce-g gardens OF our neighboring villages but
not having had the honor Of riding with Sher
mains bnihmefs, we were conscientious and
avoided the geographical mix and, as if to
add to our perplexity and keep our talent IN
the shade, everything about our village is pro-
vokingly dull and unintercsting-not cat
sneezes nor dog howls--our sleek ahd lazy
burgers staidly 60 about their business as calm
" and coolly as though we were not in the very
midst of the desolation and woe which our
woolly stricken friends saw looniing in the dis.
tance, ready to precpitate itself on our devoted
heads in the event of Cot's election--well, his
election is a fixed fact, and yet his Honor the
Mayors pigs thrive and fatten astonishingiy--
our friend B. Meershatim, Esq, schmokes his
bipe" as placidly and supcrintends the putting
up of his winter4quefters as contentedly as
though he had never shook with dread, as
he dolorously contemplated the oneoming OF
that terrible train which was to kite ts oil 10
perdition at the sound Of the gohg Of Abolition
success--nay. even the woolly prophets them
selves stand up nianfully to the cribs of which
they have dbtaned new lease, ihuhching,
"batoning and fattening" as hneohcerncdly os
thpugh the dire ealamities they had predicted,
had not descended upon lis in delugc multi
piled 10y 10000; Of surety there must be some'
thing soothing in the fodder dealt but ff'oit the
public rack, thus suddenly to tranquillize the
convulsed nerves whose vibrations shook the
whole county of Wyandot, and combined with
the awful betlowings of Mig" Bohds," etc.
made we poor Unionsts shake in our boots, and
think a moral earthquake was upon us; it is
hnted that some of our defeated candidates
in their fright offered to Z" commute" with Old
Squarctocs even at the exorbitant terms of 81.
The inglorious quiet which has succeeded
has been q sad damper to our ambitious self.
The oproftunc absence of our chief we fondly
hoped would furnish the opportunity for
grand display of our ability in describing the
advent of the accumulated horrors about to be
launched at us-reader, you can imagine our
chagrn and disappointment when in lieu OF
the promised ouiporing Of great things, we were
put off with gentle rain Of vagabondizing
comicalitlcs, which has so nchtralized the par
tsan acidity of both old and young, and left
"nary' visible scowl on their cheek, that there
is seriotis apprehensions in our mind that the
Sanduskahs may become vapid and silly
enough to forget their political chickering's and
live in concord and amity. The thought is in
tolerable, and we pray the erratic lieutenant
should this meet his eye, to at once cease ex-
hibting his airs and graces to the Eastern folks,
and HE him home to the relief Of his fainting
locum tcnens, who may else die another victim
to a lost opportunity. Yorke, you're wanted"
