A False Claim.


his friends that he is following tie
policy of Abraham Lincoln. It will
be remembered that when Vallandig-
ham had been arrested, a Committee
of the Ohio Democracy went to Wash
ington for the purpose of inducing
President Lincoln, to release him. Mr.
Lincoln submitted to that Committee
several propositions, including the ac-
acknowledgements of the existence of a
terrible rebellion, and demanding OF
said Committee, as condition preceG-
ent to the release of Val, that they
pledge themselves to do all in their
power to put down that rebellion, and
if that would be done, he told them
that he would release said Val
Mr.. L. Schafer, of Canton, was a
member of that Committee, and in a
letter, last May, he pronounced the
late war for the Union, ga rebellion
lead by Lincoln This gentleman re-
Gently visited Washington, and those
men, of Stark county, who held their
commissions from Mr.. Lincoln, were
removed and such men as Schafer di-
rected were appointed to fill the differ
ent offices of the county.
Reader, do you suppose that Presi-
dent Lincoln would, for moment,
have allowed man of such precedents
to dictate to him in the matter ofmak-
ing important appointments Never
Again, Louis V. Bogy, of St. Louis,
has recently been appointed to the i'm
portant and lucrative position Of In
dian Commissioner. The same Louis
v. Bogey is the author Of the follow
ing letter which we supposed had some
influence with the President in making
the appointment. Here it is:
Sr LOUIS, May IA, 1864.
Editors Missouri Democrat
Some william has taken the liberty of
applying my name to call for De-
mocratic meeting in this city on the
18th of June next. Although I am
not opposed to a meeting of the real
Democracy of the State at the time and
place mentioned, yet l must say that
l find among the names there publish
ed along with mine the names of many
persons whom did not believe were
Democrats. have no doubt that most
of these names, like nine, were put to
that call without authority. This is
nothing more or less than forgery, and
that of the basest kind, as base
as the fellow who forged Mr. Mailory's
report, because it is done to obtain q
sinister end.
belong to the class Of Democrats
scho deny the right Of Federal Govern
neent to rage par against a sovereign
State. This I believe to be the true
position of the real Democracy of this
country. Many of the persons whose
names are attached to the call, took up
arms to subdue the States. This. in
my opinion, is violation of the rights
and sovereignty Of States.
Here is an account of another ap-
pointment taken from the Cincinnati
Commercial of recent date:
POSTMASTER General Randall has re-
moved from the post-office at Benton,
Lafayette county, Ill, the widow OF
Mark Richards, who was killed by Cop
perheads in the discharge of his duties
as enrolling officer, aud appointed in
her place Tom Duffey, deserter-a
man who was drafted and ran away
Mrs. Richards, worthy and capable
lady, secured the position of Postmis-
tress through the influence of Colonel
Cobb and others, to aid her in the sup
port of herself and children, who have
been deprived of father by the bullet
of cowardly deserter, who refused to
serve his adopted country in time Of
need"
We might produce more incidents,tc ,tc
show the utter disregard Of the Presi
dent and his subordinates, for the feel
ings of the Union people of the land
or the memory of the murdered Lin
coin, but we forbear.
If President johnson is following
the policy of Abraham Lincoln, thel
the devil is following the teachings o
the New Testament to the letter.
That's all.
