CONCORD, Oct. II, 1867.
EDITOR URBANA UNION :-Aeeordinl
to Uncle Joshua, the election return
seem to be quite meager so we though
of noticing an article written by our 7
Is. Mcfarland Of Concord notoriety, il
regard to a meeting held in ConcorC
Township by Billy Lawrence. He say
as soon as the worthy Judge commenced
speaking the leading Cops of Concord
and Mad River could be seen with pen
aud paper noting his speech, but being
ready for the emergency, he took advaB,
tage Of the occasion and spoke until the
sun had set behind the western horizon
and with it he might have added, the
| principles the Judge was advocating.
never again to be resurrected, except
there should be a negro resurrection at
some future day.
Blessed and holy is he that hath part
in that resurrection, for in such the Dem
oorats hath no part. He then says the
cops packed up their worse than useless
literature, and decamped for parts un-
known. They were seen, however, upon
Election morn, to the sorrow of the
RAIDS of Concord Township. He adds,
such a whitening rebuke as the Judge
gave perhaps no rebel sympathizers ever
got Did it equal, Tommy, the wither-
ing Febuke the Cops gave you negro suff-
rage men last Tuesday such a rebuke,
perhaps, no set of negro sympathizers
ever got. Such was the effect says T. s.,
that a little urchin caught the glimpse
of one of their countenances and run to
his father ezelaiming, he is looking at
me; We noticed, Tommy, that some tWen-
ty-6ve soldiers caught the glimpse Of a
darkey brought to the polls by your
party, and Immediately cast their votes
solid Democratic, remarking at the same
time we are looking at him. It drove
sixty-six white men out of your ranks
into the Democratic party, change that
Judge Lawrence made in Concord Town
ship. The Democracy feel under last
ting obligations to the worthy Judge,
and respectfully request the Union Cen
tral Committee to send him once more
this way, providing there should be
enough left of him to make a campaign
against the Democracy. We are ao-
quainted with Billy Lawrence here. One
year ago he deceived the people upon
the question of suffrage. He declared
that his party was opposed to it; be now
turns round and gives the lie to all be
said one year ago He declared to US
that the salvation of the country depend !
ed upon the enfranchisemeut Of the |
ignorant negro when last here.
We can take any respectable copper
head Of Concord Township and beat
Bill Lawrence for Congress, all We ask
Of the "so-called " Union party is to
nominate the worthy Judge once more.
Ia conclusion, We bave one word to
say in behalf Of old Concord NObly
has she done her duty. But q few
months since considered the radical
stronghold, where to be a Democrat was
equivalent to being a twin brother to the
Devil where men protesting to be Min
sters of the Gospel, preached peace unto
Radicals, aud damnation to Democrats;
where men because Of their political
opinions we're insulted and driven out Of
,hurch where Democrats we're threat
med with the halter-here it is we have
lriven them to the wall. The returns /
eem "quite meager." M.F.P. Il
