The Bucyrus Journal speaking Of
the origin of the Nasby Letters, says;
incidentally, we here mention, that
these letters were prepared by tho
former editor of this paper, Mr. D.
r Locke. and first appeared in the
Journal Their origin were suggested
during the war, on the occasion of
the funeral sermon at Wingerts Cor
ners, in this county, OF soldier who
had given his life to his country. 1t
will be remembered that, until the last
Presidential election, all Nssby's let
ters were dated at Wingert's Corners.
The preacher, on that occasion, COM
menced his sermon with the remark;
Here lies another victim to this Cd
d--d Abolition war; and in all his
education, habits, political belief, &c.
is nearly allied to the character which
Mr. Locke assumes.
Mr.. Locke having a keen sense oI
the ludicrous, and knowing well the
preacher and his foibles, was struck
with the humor presented in the an
tagonisms Of his calling and practices
and at once assumed TO represent thu
