the 49th o. V. /. were shot down like
dogs by Copperheads, thus grossly
insulted the soldiers

The same paper also said On an
other occasion: -..
"Support of this war and hostility
to it shows the dividing line between
friends and enemies of the Govern
ment. He who supports the war is
against the Union"
The following, from the Coshocton
Democrat proves conclusively tha,
the sympathies of portion of the
Northern Democracy were enlisted
IN the rebel cause:
"The North is in direct rebellion
against the Constitution and laws OF
the United States The South is
contending for rights guaranteed to
them by the Constitution, but denied
them by the North, and to secure
these rights they rebelled against
Lincoln's Administration"
The Cincinnati Enquirer, the ac-
knowledged organ of Ohio Democ-
racy, speaking of the soldiers thus
Indignantly insults the wives of men
who, after Furnishing the rebels of
the South, should have administered
equally severe punishment upon the
authors of the vile slander. Itsaid {:

places filled-the tide of life running
on unconscious of their presence,

families probably scattered; their
wives probably under the care of

such words as these, recently ex-

Democrat
"If the prisoners at Anderson and
Libby were not treated with the kind
ness and consideration which people
are entitled to wher they remain at

instead of taking up arms in bloody
crusades against their neighbors and
brethren, we have only to say THEY
