accused Lincoln, his Cabinet, the Re-

The immortal Olds completed tho
afternoon exercises by distributing the
pamphlets containing the history of
his prison life; he also had the salts,
faction of knowing at the close of the
exercises, that the number present
had increased to forty-tour Sixteen
of said number. to our certain knowl-
edge, were sound, substantial Union
men, not "Johnsontcs," but firm sup
porters of our present Congress.
Mr.. Editor, with your consent, /
will add n few moro remarks, which /
hope may be read by those Democrats
that were present at the "Grand Ral-
ly."
1st. That DR.. Olds was truthful and
honest in saying he possessed more
brass than brains; also, being blessed
wit larger amount of the former
article than any of his opponents.
End. That his assertion "that this
war originated from a reign of a Re.
publican Administration" is false
We all know the cause of the war,
but tho question is, when did it com
merce? Ans. Under a Democratic
Administration. Did not South Car
olina seccde in December, 1860, and
assert that she was an independent
State, no longer a subject of the Uni
ted States2 Did not other States soon
follow in the same foot steps? They
did. Who was our President? James
Buchanan. Who were the members
of his Cabinet? They were birds of
the same flock, all Democrats; most of
them base traitors, but few were left
unlanted with treason. President Lin
coin, the Republican representative
took charge of the ship of State,
March 4th, 1861. Civil war was upon
us, the clash of arms was sounded
through our land, all seemed dark and
gloomy, the ship of State was rotten
aud sailing madly on to destruction,
when Abraham Lincoln clasped the
pilot wheel, rugged her anew, cleared
the decks of the rotten mast, and with
the assistance of tho true patriots of
our land brought her safely through
a four years storm of bloodshed and
mortal combat.
II is diShonOrdJle in DIR. Olds TO CEN
sure our late President for not prose-
cutting the war more vigorously. De-
mocrdtS, remember that this was q gi-
gantic rebellion that we had traitors
at home as well as in the land of cot
ton 10 battle remember too, that the
returned soldiers nave not forg 'tten
that DR.. 0lds, Eshelman and their col
leagues Numbered forth not man nor
a dollar for the prosecution of this war.
3rd. If DR.. Olds was an honest man,
he would readily admit that the Gov.
ernment bonds are fully as beneficial
to the laboring class as to the more
wealthy. Also if he possessed less brass
and more brains, he would not under
take reputation for fear Of coming out
ot ,ho .little end of the horn.n If his
