MIR. GEpnARr AND GEN. SHERMAN.

The above remarkable juxtaposition is not
wholly our own, kind reader. We are indebt-
ed to the Fremont Courier for the idea. Last
week that paper spoke of Mr. Gephart, its can
didate for Clerk, in the following highly imsgi-
native and hifaluting style: "Mr. Gephart, the
candidate for Common Pleas Clerk, entered the
army Immediately at the beginning of the war,
as private in the 9th Illinois Cavalry Regi-
ment, and performed the famous campaign un-
der SHERMAN to Atlanta and Savannah"
Now the Courier might just as well assert
that Finefrock performed" Sherman's cam
paign; for Gephart and he have both resided in
Ballville Township since long before the COM
mencement of that great campaign. Instead of
sharing in the honors and hardships of the field
both were busy the year before, 1663) in this
county, trying to elect Saint Vallandigham
Governor of Ohio. In 1864, during the Atlanta
and Savannah campaigns, Gephart was at home
working for the election of Mcclellan against
Lincoln, and the next spring was rewarded by
being beaten as candidate for Township Clerk.
The Messenger says he served ''three years.
in the Ninth Illinois Cavalry. That Regiment
was not raised till 1862 and saw no active field
service during that year. In '63 and since then,
as we have said, Gephart has lived in Ballville
On the basis of such falsehoods, if at all, the
cops hope to carry the election this Fall. They
dare not rely upon the truth. How much shall
barelaced lying avail them u?

The Messenger says, at is not hardly neces.
sary for the Democracy 10" express sympathy
for the cause of Ireland. "The friendship o.
the Democracy for foreigners is well known
from past history"
Yes, we should think so. After Irishmen
had voted your ticket for 80 or 40 years, al
the very first opportunity you had to show
them genuine sympathy, you turned your back
upon them. The only opposition the neutral
ity bill met with in Congress was from Demo-
Gratis, and not one of them opened bis head in
favor of it. 1t was introduced and carried
through by the efforts of Union men. As soon
as Andy johnson whom you now laud so highly
had gone thoroughly over 10 your party, how
did he treat the cause of oppressed Ireland2-
After having given the Fenians to understand
that the same kind of neutrality" should be
meted out to Great Britain she gave US during
the war, johnson at the critical moment turned
the whole power Of the Government over TO the
interest of Johny Bull, and crushed the Fenian
enterprise on the eve of success. Three or four
weeks ago the Democratic Mayor of Washing
ton, urged on by johnson, broke up Fenian
meeting in that city at which Prest. Roberts
was 70 speak. Congress interfered, and few
days afterwards the meeting came off with great
enthusiasm, in spite of democratic" OppOsi-
ton. This is the style of your friendship for
foreigners.
The truth is the so-called Democratic party
has for years favored oppression, aristocracy
and caste, at home and abroad, while the Union
party has since its organization, advocated uni
versal liberty everywhere. This shows which
party is honest and consistent in its professions
of regard for the oppressed people of this con-
tinent and the world. Foreigners have long
enough been beguiled by copperhead profess
sions of true Democracy snd are fast dis
covering that the party name is but cloak
for the basest trucking to despotism and party
servility. That party would make virtual
slaves of its own followers, and induce them TO
vote against their own interests and the inter-
ests of freedom everywhere. This is the spirit
in which it has sympathyzed with foreigners.
Even now the party is ruuring such men as
Van Trump for Congress. Heis the"dcmocratic"
nominee in the democratic 18th District, and only
afew years ago was the Nothing candidate
for Governor of Ohio, pledged to support "a law
compelling foreigners to reside in this country
81 years" before they could vote. Should Fine
frock and he be both elected, they would stand
together, side by side, for oppression and Sc
cession. Such is the Democratic party of to-
day. No empty professions can change its
character and record; while the Union party is
made up of the live, active, liberty loving pa
triotic elements Of the nation. We believe
foreigners will no longer hesitate to identify
themselves heartily with their true and consis-
tent friends

UNION PLATFORM.

Resolved, That the Union party of Ohio, hay-
ing sustained the General Government during
four years of successful war against the united
efforts of rebels in the South and their partizans
in the North, now demands that Peace shall be
established upon, such stable foundations that
rebellion and Secession will never again endan-
ger our National existence.
ReSolued, That this Convention fully endors-
es the Amendment to the Constitution propos-
ed by Congress to the Legislatures of the States,
as liberal, wise and patriotic adjustment; and
the Union party Of Ohio pledge for it their uni
ted and hearty support.
ResolUed, That the nation owes the heroic
men of our Army and Navy a debt Of lasting
gratitude for their patriotic services in defense
Of the Constitution and the Union, and we urge
upon Congress the duty Of equalizing the boun-
ties, and that while we cherish with tender
affection the memories OF the fallen braves, we
pledge to their widows and orphans the Ma
lions care and protection.
Resolved, That in General R. T. Buckland
our representative in Congress, we have a man
worthy of every public trust which he has ever
been called upon to discharge, whether in civil
life or in the field, and who has always been
faithful to his constituents and true to the Union
he fought to maintain; and in the name of the
freemen we represent that seat shall not be oc-
eupied by any rebel sympathizer or one who is
nimical to the best interests Of the government

THE CANDIDATES

Speaking of the recent Congressional NOM
nations, the Norwalk Reflector says:
We cannot dismiss this subject without a few
words as to the merits Of the opposing candi-
dates Gen. BUCKLAND is one whose sterling
patriotism and integrity have been proven in
tie most trying ordeal. At the outbreak of the
rebellion he nobly volunteered his services in
defence of the ''old flag" and, and notwith-
standing his election to Congress two years ago,
he bravely remained in the army until the last
traitor against the Government had laid down
his arms. In Congress- he has wisely and
faithfully represented the wishes and senti-
ments of his loyal constituents, and for his f.
deity and zeal has thus been rewarded by the
most fiattering approval that could be offered
him. His opponent, like himself, is a resident
of Fremont, and, unless he is greatly belied, is
one of the most cringiDg and disgusting of
Copperheads. 1t is charged upon him by his
neighbors that he openly rejoiced whenever de-
feat rested upon our arms in the late war; and
that he went SO far in his reasonable practices
as to boldly counsel armed resistance to the
draft. Of course his record makes him a fit
and consistent supporter of ''My Policy" but
it rests with the voters of this District to say
whether such man shall defile with his pres
ence the Halls of our National Legislature
We venture to predict that this disgrace will
not be fastened upon u.s.

PAY or CoNGR EsSDIEN.

by sctual computation of the pay and mile
age of members Of Congress under the new ar
rangement, it has been al certained that the in
creased expense to the Government will be less
than twenty-five thousand dollars per annum.
The pay is Increased to $4,000, but the mileage
is reduced from forty cents per mile 20 twenty
cents, which makes the difference The San
dusky Register gives the figures, to-wit:
The mileage for single Congress, using the
Thirty y-eighth basis, amounts to 81 1897, $685.
So The same bill which raises the salaries of
Congressman sixty per cent. also reduces their
mileage fifty per cent.-equal to $943, 99S. The
increase of salari' @-counting two hundred and
forty -four members at $4,000 each-(and the
proportion will remain the same when full
Congress is assembled) amounts to S976000 for
two years. one Congress. Tn us, offsstting the
deereas in mileage against the increase of regu-
lar salary, and the future effect of the new law
will be to increase the total annual pay of the
entire Congress less than twenty five thousand
dollars. The law in its future effect is really a
law to equalize rather than Increase the pay of
congressman.
1t takes off from the enormous mileage fees of
the Pacific members and adds to the slim salar-
les of Eastern, Southern and Middle State mem
hers

LET IrEE REMEMBERED,

That every one of the Confederate States car
enter Congress next December, if they choose.
All they have to do is to agree TO equal repre-
ser,tation and SendlOyal men. That is all. This
is shown il the prompt admission of the State
of Tennessee. All the States are in the Union
now, and are governed by their own laws; and
if they are not represented in Congress it is
their own fault. Oopperheads end copperjohns
may prate as they will about "Rump Con-
gress;" they may delnde the ignorant and un-
thinking intoibelief that it is thessettled policy
of a Union Congress to keep out the Southern
members; the fact is, every Southern State mag
be represented at the opening Of the neat Congress
if thea acM agree that a uOtc Of a. aohi'e man IN
he North is equal to vote Of a oohite man IN the
South, and elect loyal members. If these States
are not represented it is because their people
still cling to the belief thai the vote of the
Southern aristOcrat should count az much as two
of the votes of Northern greasy mechanics and
mud siIls" and still insist on being represented
by men whose hands are yet wet with the blood
of Union soldiers and whose hearts are still pol
luted by the foul blot of treason. Copperhead
leaders sustain southern people in the last
named view of the matter, and there are to be
found Northern mechanics and men who have
Iostdear friends in the Union army, who vote
for and sustain these self-same Copperheads.-

THE CAT OUT OF THE BAG.

Governor Aiken, of South Carolina, in
conversation with Mr.. Eggleston, men,
bers of Congress from Cincinnati, let the
cat out of the bag in the following way, as
shown by Mr.. Eggleston in his speech at
Cincinnati few days ago, from which we
quote as follows:
"Said Governor Aiken, of South Carolina,
when in Washington a short time ago, when l
asked him why he INSISTED on the members of
his State being admitted to Seats and asked him
if the interests of his State were not well ta-
ken care OF, "Mr. Eggleston, said he, "there are
only two things you have not done for us and
never will do: We have hundreds and thousands
of widows in the South, and we want to be in
Congress so as to place our widows on the PEN
sion rolls of the United States, that they may
have the same support the widows of your SOL
diers get. The other matter is, that we have
contracted large debt down south, as you have
in the North, and it is not right for us to be tax
ed to pay your debts unless your taxes also go
to pay our debt"
That's it precisely. The reconstructed
rebels, aided by the Copperheads, intend,
if they get power to tax the loyal people
Of the North, to pension those who fought
to destroy the Government. People who
complain of taxes ought to consider the
consequences of the return of the Demo
cratic party to power. They were the
cause Of the taxes we now pay, and they
would add to our burdens by pensioning
rebel cripples and the families of rebel SOL
diers

WHAT sNIY POLICY, HAS DONE

A writer in the Springfield Republic from
Washington thus pictures the real condition of
affairs as inaugurated and sustained by the
treachery of Andrew johnson:
The first thing that strikes one on surveying
the situation is that, at the close of a rebellion
the most uniustifable that has ever taken place,
every act OF which was instinct with wicked
ness, the suppression of which called for inesti-
mable sacrifices in money and in life upon the
part of the loyal people of the land, rebel
lion that was after four years of war utterly
broken down and subdued-that after all this
the only persons to-day subject to persecution
in any part of our country are those who were
faithful among the faithless. People may talk
as they choose about the merits of my policy"
They may declaim in -honeyed words of the
duty of reuniting by deeds of kindness to the
guilty; still this fact remains to confute their
theories-that now none are either prosecuted
or prosecuted anywhere except the loyal men of
the South. They are driven from their homes,
they are murdered in cold blood, or sacrificed
by The insensate fury of the mob while unre-
pentant rebels are Unfortunately pardoned
by the President.
