The MAN WITHOUT. AN ENEMY
We believe in the man or woman
who has 'senemies:' This does not
sound sound but it is sound Your
milk and-water people, who content
themselves with simply doing no
harm, at the same time never do
any good; they are mere negatives.
Your man of force, who does not
wait for a stone to get out of his
way, but manfully rolls it over, may
unintentionally hurt somebody's
toes in the act; but thousands who
will have to travel that future path
will thank him for clearing it. The
man without enemies is generally
sleek, creeping, cautious whitewash-
ed creature, walking in the world
with velvet shoes, who smirks and
glides his unchallenged way to the
obscurity he merits. He adds moth,
ing to the common stock, and is
shoveled into his six feet Of earth al
last, without tear on his coffin-lid
He may not have had an enemy, but
has he any friends A place is va
cant, but not in any warm, living
loving heart. The statue has sim
ply crumbled out of its Mich and dis
appeared.

LANCASTER, July 20, 1867.

EDS. CoM.-My attention was call
ed, by friend to the Ohio States
mans denunciation and denial of,a
statement Of Mr.. Gray in relation to
the conduct Of Judge Thurman and
wife during the confinement Of reb-
ell prisoners at Camp Chase. / can
not believe, from what I know ofthe
parties that either the Judge or his
would deny any statement showing
their sympathy and aid to these pris-
oners.
I was appointed Provost Marshal
of Camp Chase in September, 1862,
and continued in that position until
August, 1853, and during that peri
cd or until order No. 38 was issued.
Mrs. Thurman visited the Prisoners
at least twice week. She never
came after the issue Of said order.
She brought delicacies in the shape
of pies, cakes and jellies, and but
ter; and in reply to my question.
why she did not visit the hospitals
in which our soldiers were treated
and supply them she said, she was
a Southern woman.
This was demonstrated by her ac-
tions, and she was great fayoritt
with the rebels, held frequent con
versations with them, gave to anc
obtained from them information
and appeared willing and anxious il
any way to aid and comfor
them.
The Wyandot pioneer. (Upper Sandusky, Ohio) 1853-1868, 1867-08-22

Judge Thurman was frequently
spoken of by the prisoners. and
they said he was their friend His
wife was the most prominent visitor,
and was always welcomed by them.
In the discharge of my duty, a
part of which was to be present at
conversations between rebels and
their friends, / was frequently com
planned of by Mrs. Thnrman to Gov.
Todd, and Captain Bunker was call
ed on by the Governor to know if
I discharged my. duty. She had a
general correspondence with the
South in relation to the prisoners
and often brought from the Cover
or special permit to see q prisoner
named therein. and from him oh
tanned names of others.
| From what I saw of Mrs. Thur
man and heard at the time Of Judge
Thurman's kindness to the prisoners,
can scarcely believe either ofthem,
now would thank any editor to deny
their sympathy with the rebels OF
! their devotion to their cause during
the war, and | thus deem it my duty
to sustain Mr.. N A GrfW from the
attacks of editors.
My assistants, Robert Dean, Sam
uel Winset, Tiffany, Alexander,
Sharley, Drake, Evans and Thrapp,
Of the Seventy fourth Ohio, and my
self held frequent Conversations on
this subject, and they will remember
the affectionate and reciprocal
regard Of Mrs Thurman and
the rebel prisoners, and her
kindness and attention to bringing
whatever %as needed by them, and
her open and bold avowal Of hel
sentiments, and we never expected
to live to see the day in which either
she or her husband would deny. OIL
allow other to deny for them, that
in the great controversy of the past
six years their everv hope and ev-
cry desire was for the success ofthe
Southern rebels.
Actions speak louder than words
and whatever Judge Thurman may
now say, or his friends for him, the
facts detailed here, and by Mr.. Gray
were SO. notorious that it will take
more than three years to efface then
from the memory of the officers and
men in Camp Chase. They botl
sympathizedwith the rebel cause, land
excited their sympathy as did Union
men and women in aiding Union sol
diers in hospital and in the prison.
Let the truth be told and as in thai
mighty contest there were people
North who desired rebel success, and
worked to secure it, claiming tht
right thus to act, so let the soldier
of the Union and his friends remen-
Der with gratitude every expression
and aid from whatever source, anC
forget and forgive all who, by sym
pathY and aid to the rebels, protract
ed the struggle, or commenced the
fight; but when the facts are called
for, be as valiant in their defense as
they were in defending our glorious
Union. It is too soon for northern
sympathizers with rebels to den.
their sentiments and conduct, as 6
great many soldiers now survive who
| remember what passed, and are not
afraid to tell it.

The condition of the Democratic
party in Ohio is similar to that of
the rebel Confederacy in the latter
days of the rebellion-short of ra-
tions, demoralized, hopeless, and
dying because Of its own inherent
rottenness. 1t may drag out faint
existence till the 8th of october, but
it's utter and ignominious collapse is
inevitable, it's doom is sealed, and
there is neither hope, resurrection,
or even apurgatory for its restin G
place.!
Go thou sum of all political in
iduities, and follow the corpse Of
your idol, American slavery.

CHAPTER |.

There appeared in th Union of
last week letter from "Moses H.
Kirby in answer to. an Invitation
from Dr. Reed and others Of Little
Sandusky to address the Democratic
? Club at that place on Saturday Ev-
ening, Aug 18th. This invitation
and response were, Of course, the
well digested plan of the Copper
head party to advertise the sua7ameg-
set performed, as they think, of the
old Colonel, in his political opin-
ions.
Every man has right to his own
opinions, politically or otherwise,
but when he comes out publicly,
and casts reflections upon former
friends, and reproaches those who
have stood by him and steadily con
tributed to his support, after hay
ing turned his back upon all his for
mer declarations, he then, whether
silvered DER with age, or just enter
ing the stage of manhood, opens the
door to criticism by making his acts
public property, and he has no night
to expect the mantle of charity to
save him from the gaze of the pub
lie, or his ACTS from just although
severe criticism, The great object
of the Colonels life has been office
to which his several changes and
summersets may be ascribed.
The sun of Heaven seems to have
dawned upon him in infancy an as
p:la1 fer office; and it's brighter
rays in early manhood seems to have
found him more earnest in pursuit
of the much cherished prize, and
even now: when life is fast ebbing,
his Eagle Eye is still fixed upon
that never satisfying phantom.
With a steady Eye upon the. "ma-
jority side..' he was a whig in 1S4o,

Judge Kirby.

1t had been our purpose to remain
silent as regards the disgraceful
apostacy of the above gentleman, but
that silence has been broken by a
letter which appeared in the Union
Of last week over his signature. We
did not care so much for his aband
onment of the party, or the loss of
his influence, but when he comes
out i'll public. print, announcing his
purpose to cooperate with his past
enemies, and denounces the party
and men with whom he has hereto
fore pretended to iabor,public justice
requires that we should speak plain
lS. The Republican party is pro-
gressive organization. 1t opposed
interference with slavery where it ex
isted before the war. 1t opposed
the extension Of that nefarious in
stitution. 1t fought traitors and Sc
cession, till both were yanquished.
1t cnancipated the slaves, because,
the salvation of our Government,
and the dictates of religion required
it. 1t advocates policy ofthorough
reconstruction, because there is no
alternative but to reconstruct the
States lately in rebellion, or surren
der all the fruits of the war, to un-
repentant rebels and traitors. 1t
advocates impartial suffrage, because
it accords- with justice, christianity
and the public good. II is true
that the last, is n new issue. Par
ties, like men, must adopt themselves
to the requirements of the age. I'm

try. Its just, right, and the Amer
