4 miitee imported the notorious and infamous
| Brick POmerOy into this State TO Join in
the late canvass. for the purpose of arous-
J ing the Sons Of Liberty. who had become
somewhat lukewarm toward the Copper
head and Johnson fusion. the Union papers
generally republiShcd his atrociouS advo-
cacv of the assassination of President Lin
: coin. which appeared a. an editorial in the
! Lacrosse Democrat, of which he was edit
or. in August, 1864. At home. the braZen
villain never rctractcd or apologized for
his advocacy of assassination. but being
naturally coward. as well as scOundrcl.
he feared public Indignation against him
might lead to lynch applications to his ras-
caly skin. and in his fright he bascly de-
MED the publication on which had prided
himself until his advent among the people
of Indiana.
Knowing that it would he as difficult to
/ find file of his paper i'm this State as il
would he to draw drop of honest and pa
triotic blood from his corrupt veins. Brick
/ published card. in which he offered to
/ pay one thousand dollars To any person who
could find the obnoxious paragraph in the
/ LaCrOSse Democrat, first taking the pre-
caution TO cut il out of his own files. as we
stated few DAYS ago on the. authority of
llr. Seymour, editor of the Lacrosse Re
publican.
4 But our election Is over. the imported
/ Wisconsin blackguard and rebel advocate
has received the hire promised him by his
employers i'm this State, and has found his
way blck to his kennel in Lacrosse. Safe
/ ly there, his courage, such as il is, has re-
vivcd. and he brazenly republishes the Ian
guage he denied and disowned when in In
diana, and rejoices anew that Abraham
Lincoln fell by murderers hand:
A friend has handed us copy of the La
Crosse Democrat of the 18th ult.. i'm which
Pomeroy acknowledges all that was charged
against him by the Union press Ofthis State.
He says:
''While in Indiana, on the stump, doing
what we could for the cause of the Union,
the Constitution, and the La,rs. thousands of
handbillS were circulated over that State by
the radicals, charging us with saying on
the 10Th of August. 1864:
'''If Lincoln is elected for another four
years we trust some bold hand will pierce
his heart with a dagger point for the public
good
''The above item makes us the advocate
of ASSASSINATION without any ''ifs" or lands, -
and gives the paragraph we did not write
and publish, because we meant ii differ
ent meaning
Here is what We did say on that day:
"'The man who votes for Lincoln now is
a traitor. He who ,cars against the Consfitu-
ton is a traitor, and Lincoln has done all this.
He who calls and allures men to certain
bu,chery is murderer, and Lincoln has
done all this. Had any former DemocrItic
President parred upon The Constitution or tri-
fled with the nation as Lincoln has, he
would have been hurled TO perdition long
since And if he is FoRCIBLy reelected to
MIsGovERS for another four years, we trust
some bold hand will pierce his heart with
dagger point for the public goodl'
"We said that IL he was FORCIBLY re-
elected to MISGOVERN, we trusted some
bold hand would pierce his heart. We
were charged by the radicals of Indiana
with using the sentence, omitting the words
we have capitalized, and we renew our Of
