In conversation in Mr.. Gusdorfs store, du-
ring the war, Mr.. Finefrock declared that the
war for the Union was tyrannical crusade
agoinst the South and he HOPED EVERY
MAN WHO CARRIED A MUSKET IN THE
UNION ARMY WOULD BE SHOT ON
SOUTHERN SOIL" Mr. Charles Baldwin,
a well known citizen of Fremont, who had
been for six years clerk in Mr.. g. s store, and
was lifelong democrat was SO indignant at
this diabolical language that he would have

On the OCCdsiOH VI uioduiul icpuAse Vi eho
army of the Potomac, Mr.. P. invited William
Ainsley, Esq, of Ottowa Co., who up to that
time, had been q democrat, to attend select
democratic supper, with some of the leaders in
Fremont. Mr.. Ainsley asked what was the oc.
casion of it. Mr.. F. replied that it was an
HONOR OF THE VICTORY JUST
ACHIEVED sr OUR SOUTHERN FRIENDS!
From that time Mr.. Ainsley never acted with
the democratic party. He related the circum-
stance to Judge Taylor, of Milan, John Sloan,
Esq. formerly democratic clerk of ottowa, Judge
Greene, of this city, and we believe to John
Detleff, Esq, formerly democratic clerk of OF
iowa, as well as to many others.

While Peter Mulrain, Of this place, member
of the I'D o. v. V. l., was prisoner of war.
his wife, "a quiet, industrious woman, who
though poor, is yet true christian lady none
the less, } was at work one day at Mr.. rs house.
He asked her how many children she had
She replied five. He then asked her if she was
widow. She told him her husband was in the
army. Whereupon he launched out into
TRADE of abuse of men who would desert their
families to fight in such wicked cause" and
wound up by expressing the wish that EVERY
MAN WHO HAD GONE TO FIGHT
AGAINST THE SOUTH MIGHT HAVE A
BULLET PUT THROUGH HIM." At this
his wife, probably in Difference to the poor wo-
mans wounded feelings shook her head at her
spouse. He then added, that he awould say the
same thing if it were about his o,on brother"

said, in Judge Greene's Office, on the Monday
following that calamity, that THE SOUTH
HAD JUST CAUSE for what ehey had
DONE Upon being asked by Mr. F. I. Norton
his legal opinion as to the duty of Government
in that crisis, he answered that the attack on the
Fort "WAS REBELLION, AND BY CD
HE WAS IN FAVOR OF IT; AND IF HE
COULD DO THE SOUTH ANY GOOD, HE
WOULD GO DOWN AND HELP THEM
FIGHT"

Al various times during the great struggle
Mr.F declared to our lawyers and Others (among
them we may mention Homer Everett, Esq.,

and 's7, as expounded by the great secessionist
CALHOUN; in the doctrines of Estates Rights"
and Estate Sovereignty that upon provoca-

Our references are all unimpeachable and
above suspicion. Er. F, will not deny theil
statements. Nor can he blame us for making
them public. He ought to be willing to face

of his own record. Besides, the people whom
he asks to vote for him HA We A RIGHT TC
KNOW THESE THINGS Especially have
soldiers this right. They dared and suffered
in order to maintain the Government under
