How stands the FightIng Men

Generals Grant, Sherman and all
other gallant Major Generals and other
officers of the army, and all officers Of
the navy, with a few exceptions only,
now support tho Administration of
Andrew johnson.
They are bold and above board In
their declarations of support and sym
pathy.
General Grant was present at the
White House, on the presentation of
the address and resolutions of the
National Union Convention of Phila
dolphin, by Hon. Roverdy Johnson, of
Maryland, to the President, and en-
dorsed the same, as the movement to
make the Union of these States com
plete. General Grant, and other dis
tinguished officers of the army and
navy, accompanied the President in
his late tour to Chicago and back to
Washington. At all cities, towns,
stations and places, appearing to the
great masses, as the friends, supporters
and sympathizors of the President and
his patriotic efforts to restore the
Union. These men fought for the
Union of these States, and they seem
determined to do all in their power TO
make their work good and everlasting.
Andrew Johnson seems to be the in
strument in the hands of Divine Provi-
dence to accomplish the great good of
this nation, the bowls, the mobs, the
riots, the of Radicalism dis
played at Cleveland, indianapolis and
other places, to tho contrary, notwith-
standing.
Burnside, Butler aud Banks, are
the only distinguished Major Generals
of the late war, that are now opposing
the Administrator of President John
son.
Burnside distinguished himself on
drum-head court martials; Butte" on
spoons and other silverware, and Banks
IN cotton in the Red river country.
If any Radical is ignorant in regard to
these points, court martialS, spoons and
cotton, let him consult public documents
and the soldiers who know all about
it.

have an opportunity to hear his voice
once more. Thus we go, scarcely an
officer of distinction, who rendered the
country great and important service in
the tented field but who Is doing bat
tie for the principles governing the
Administration of President Johnson.
Coils. Pond, Ieggett and. Lane are the
only commanding officers Of regiments,
in which Morgan county volunteers
were incorporated, who are now wrong
on the Union question. These Colonies
are clever enough in their way, and
have done the State some service, but
they think after the fight is over for
the whole Union, that il ought to be
composed of twenty-six instead of
thirty-six States. And they further
think hat the Constitution as it camo
from the hands of the illustrious Wash
and his co~-laborers needs tink-
The Conservative. (M'connelsville, Ohio) 1866-1871, 1866-09-21

I. Resolved, That the Democracy Of Ohio will
adhere IN the present and in the future asin the
past, with unfaltering fidelity and 6rmness TO
the organization Of the Democratic party, and
TO its ancient and we'll settled principles as
enunciateS by Thomas eJeaeraon, the great
Apostle Of American Democracy, and as ac-
knowledged and accepted by the party from the
foundation Of the Government; and especially
Of equal taxation, and Of represention Of all the
States subject to taxation.
2. Resolved, That the one great question Of
the day is immediate and unconditional restora-
ton of all all the States 10 the exercise Of their
rights within the Federal Union under the Con-
s%titution and that we will cordially and ac-
lively support Andrew johnson, as President Of
tho United States; in ell necessary and proper
means TO carry out his policy as directed 70
that end and especially In securing immediate
representation in the Senate and House Of Rep
resentatiyos, 10 the eleven States from which
IL is now enthusiastically and arbitrarily
withheld, unless on the degrading condition OF
inferiority in the Union, and Of negro political
ang civil equality enforced by the Federal Gov
8. ResOtped, That for the purposes above set
forth, we win cordially cooperate in public
meetings, conventions and at the polls, with all
mon, without reference 10 past party positions,
who honesty and by their professions, support
the President In his policyo Of restoration as now
developed.

Hon. +. A. Plants an Honest Man.

"He (Plants) is an honest man, and
does not wish to deceive the people in
any possible way whatever. He
(Plants) would much rather be dedicated
than to obtain an election by any un-
fair means, We repeat it, he is an
honest man absolutely, and does not So
licit votes on any doubtful vote what
ver ."-[Morgan Herald, Aug. 81.
Now if Mr.. Plants is the honest man
he is represented to be, why did he in
dorse the law and the principles thereof
that exempts over $500, OOO, 900 of Gov
eminent bonds from paying taxes for
all National, State, County and corpo-
ration purposes? We think an honest
man should be in favor of equal and
exact justice to all.
If Mr.. Plants is an honest man, why
did he vote in favor Of the negroes in
the District of Columbia and in the
fine Territories of the United States
exercising the right of suffrage, when
it was a notorious fact, and brought to
the knowledge of all, that the whites
were unanimous against the PROPOSE
tion2
We think the majority. should rule,
and the Representative, if he Is an
homes: man, will obey his constituents
when clearly expressed as in this case
Mr., Plants is an honest man, he
must be in favor of negro suffrage, not
only in the District of Columbia and
the Territories, but also here in Ohio
for no honest a would vote to faster
negro suffrage and equality upon an
unwilling people and at the same time
refuse the same blessing to his white
constituents here in Ohio.
i Mr.. Plants is an honest man, why
did he vote in Congress to establish {
National Poor House in every State
and County in the South, "Sendinl
thither swarms of officers to harass thu
people and eat out their substance
and collect annually from the over
burthened Taxpayers of the North

The Ape, The Onion and the

In the politest ages of Egyptian
civilization, one of the sects of that
country ~worshiped an ape, and another
an onion, while here in this country,

DO You Hear That Boysi

General Durbin Ward, late Colonel
of the old 18th Regiment, is the Demo-
cratic candidate for Congress in the
Montgomery District, and 1t is believed
that he will be elected.
His opponent is one Bob. Schenck,
who in the early part Of the war went.
out to reconnoiter and skirmish with
the rebels ON board Of a train of rail
road car full of soldiers. He run into
a slaughter pen, and was badly used
up. He was green. Schenck after
wards commanded at Baltimore--look-
ing after old men, women and children,
after the fashion of Butler at New Or
leans. Col. Wards military record is
much better than that Of Schenck's,
and'the "boys in blue" will vote for
him.
Colonel Connell, another Colonel of
the old 18th, is out and stumping in
favor Of the Administration of Andrew
Johnson.
Colonel Richardson, Colonel of the
old bloody 25th Ohio, is a Johnson man.
Colonel W, H. Ball, another valiant
officer, (the boys Of the l22d Ohio will
remember their old Colonel is an out
and out Conservative Democrat, and
is doing good service in old Muskingum
for the Constitution and Union. We
expect a visit from our old Colonel be-
fore the election then the boys will

s13,0OO,0OO to pay their numerous
officers high fees and salaries, to feed,
clothe, school, house, take care of and
transport from placeto place thousands
of idle, worthless negroes9
IfMr. Plants is an honest nan, how
can he, after taking an oath TO support
the Constitution of the United States,
vote for a law called the Freedmen's
Bureau, which in its provisions supcr-
sedes all civil authority in the States
over the black population, and trans
fers all power and authority over that
class to military tribunals? ~ off
IL Mr.. Plants is IN honest man, why
is it that he advocated and voted for
the law called the Civil Rights bill,
which, in its provisions, over-rides all
constitutions, laws, customs, usages,
&c, Of every State and community
making distinctions on account Of color2
1t forcesthe whites, under severe pains
and heavy penalties, to make them
selves the equals of negroes. Not only
all this, but by the same law all negroes
are made citizens Of the United States
and Of the State in which they reside.
II makes them eligible to be elected to,
and hold office under the Constitution
Of the United States, and it provides to
punish, by fine and Imprisonment, all
State Judges, Magistrates and officers
Of every kind who shall obey State
laws that are contrary to the provisions
of this law. Then, to cap the climax
Of honesty, knowing hat the law was
unconstitutional, and that he voted
contrary to the obligations Of his oath,
he turns round after the passage Of the
law and votes for an amendment to the
Constitution making the law constitu-
We, for the present, a only
notice a few of the honest acts of this
honest man T. A. Plants.

ON This Picture, Then on
er That,

The Radical Congress voted the ne
gro soldier $500 for extra bounty, and
carly in the session appropriated the
money to pay it. I
1t also-to SWeetea its own extra pay
of 81, OO0-voted the white soldier 500
extra bounty, but made no appropria-
ton.
The blacks are now drawing their
$500 extra bounty. The white soldier
must wait until Congress can DO In
duced to mako an appropriation for
them. b
Who're the negro was concerned, the
Radical Congress made no mistake, they
were prompt and up TO time. 1t was
only when the white needed and called
for its attention, that it was careless,
indifferent, or had no time. What

Negro NIorhus.

lfthere is any people who may be
said to be thoroughly n~egro-ridden,
we are that people. 1t will not do to
say, as was saidin the times Of slavery,
that the negro is the pivot point of our
politics; he is all of our politics. Like
the frogs that came up, upon the
couches and into the kneading-troughs
of Egypt, he is every where. He
reigns at the Capital in full and heap
ed up measure, as a friend and brother,
a fellow-citizen and a politician. In
Montana and the regions of far of
Washington he is new born into the
State by the force of Congressional de-
cree. He is fed from the National
Treasury, and protected by the Nation
al arms, he dozes IN the sun shine, or
smokes his pip in dignifed laziness in
the shade Of the domes of Senate
Houses. He is elegantly clothed in
blue. He is furnished transportation
at public expense. He in fact is the
comming man of the Boston philoso-
pher. His daughter, having enjoyed
the advantage Of awhile mother, is
"the type of tho future American wo-
man, introduced by Hon. T. A. Plants
upon the platform, as what we have
got and what we may expect from
Radical rule.

say that it is all right. But we think
it would look better If the Secretary of

many white soldiers. Certainly the

like to know something about the mis-.

A white Mans government.

We cannot soc how our Radical
friends a W up and excuse the
course and conduct Of Hon. T. A. Plants
in Congress.
He admitted in his speech at this
place on the 18th inst, that he voted
in Congress for negro suffrage in the
District of Columbia, and would do the
thing over again nj the next session.
And says Plants, eff you do not like
that vote all you have to do is to vote
against me-" I'll be elected any how,
by an overwhelming majority.
Here it is then, all in a nutshell.
Plants voted, and no mistake;to confer
upon the negro Of the District of Col
umbia all the political rights and priv
ileges enjoyed blythe white man---vote,
hold office, &c. &c. If it is right then to
grant these rights and privileges to the
negro of the District, why should not
the same principles be imposed upon
the communities of allth States2 OH
says Plants and his Radicalsupporters,
let this thing be done by degrees.
The people cannot stand too much at
one time. We will attend to the States
in due time. This is what Plants is
in favor of. REMEMBER then every
VOTER, ifyou vote for 7. A. Plants
for Congress, you vote to make the me-
gro your equal, politically aud socially.
Is this q white mans Government, or
is it to be made a mixed, mulatto Gov.

How Goes the Fight

We have good and cheering news
from all parts Of the country. In the
approaching elections the true friends
ofthe Union and the Constitution must
gain largely. We constantly hear of
changes of substantial men, heretofore
against us, comming over to the sup
port of correct principles. Nearly
every army officer of any distinction is
with us in this fight against the dis
u%nionIsts. The soldiers, the boys IN blue,
who valiantly fought for the Union,
and not to make the negro his equal,
is every where rallying to the rescue.
The RAIDS are not making any friends
just now, out are loosing by the tens,
hundreds audthousands. Measure our
readers that tho skies look bright. All
we have got to do is for every friend
Of the Union and good Government to
be on the ebert, and see that every
Democratic and Conservative voter is
well posted as to bis rights and his du.
ties in this important contest.
We must not be discouraged and
mako ourselves indifferent because of
past defeats. Past reverses should
nerve us up to increased vigilence and
activity. Did we falter in our determi-
nation to crush out the rebellion because
Of u defeats at Fort Sumpter, Bull
Run, &C., in the commencement of the
WARP No never. We rallied and final
ly succeeded. Our cause is just. We
have the argument, and we have the
strength to carry our cause forward to
a lasting triumph and success if we
would only mako tho proper efforts.
Friends let rs try.
1t seems to us that political change
like that of 1862 awaits us for our
labor and exertions. Arouse, then TO
the work that is before us. Let the
townships be Thoroughly canvassed and
organized, 80 that every voter may be
Induced TO turn out to the election.
The approaching elections is by no
means an ordinary affair. There is
much at stake. The Constitution and
the Union, as they came down to us
from our fathers, are threatened by q
desperate faction, that holds partial
control of the Government.
They seek a perpetual disunion Of
these States. All the blood shed, and
money expended to preventive disrup.
ton oil this glorious Union win be in
yain If this Radical party, headed by
such spirits as Thad, Stevens, Senator
Sumner, Fred. Douglass and others, il
longer permitted to rule. The people
the white people, still have the power
and they should see to it, that the Con,
stitution and the Union shall remain
unimpaired, and not shorn of q single
State. We march and keep time tc
the music of tie Union, we carry, float.
ing high over all, that flag with itt
thirty-six stars and corresponding
stripes, with no blot nor blur upon It's
azure face. Away with that miserable
rag with only twenty-six stars. The
former represents the whole Union
the latter only a part.
The skies look bright. Rally boys
Rallyl Rally once more, and shout in

ent, that the old Ship of State is in
danger, and that q part Of the crew
