order. In last weeks Herald he reviews
Random Thoughts No. "a As the ar
ticle is one OF those gentlemanIy pro-
auctions, for which the DR. is so noted,
we give it entire. 1t can be seen what
the leader of the Democracy in Jackson
county thinks ofthe Union soldiers, and
the war for the Union. His statement
that the circulation of the HraM is
about as large as that of the Standard,
is rich joke. But here is the article;
REVIEW OF RANDOM THouGHTs NUMBER TWEEN
TY FOUR.
IfMr D. NJ. editor of the Stopd Od, and author
Of Random Thoughts, was man Of ability and
worthy our steel aud did not become arNnting,
| raving and living maniac every time he fails to
have things his own way, we would like to in
! gcntlemanly manner, argue the Issues existing
! between the parties But we must adapt our
selves to circumstances, and treat a5 we find
| them and MS the Aforesaid d. NJ. has taken the
liberty in u very lugpntCmanlV manner to de-
nOunce us, and willfully misrepresent the facts in
regard to the sketch Of history written and read
by us at the laying of the corner stone, of the
Court House, in this place, we propose to review
"BandOm Thoughts" No 81 in our own way.
1t is evident from the snNrling Of d. NJ that he Is
dissatisfied because the Commissioners invited MS
TO Write ard read the history, ON the occasion re-
lerred to in preference to giving the invitation to
him. The Commissioners were men Of too sUnud
n Judgment. notwithstanding they belong 10
d. VI s. party to wish to have tile county Of jack
sou disglNced by handing down to poscritv, M
eiiusion from brainless, one sided politician,
random thought writer. We have heard uum-
bCr of RcpubliCunssay that tho Commissioners
showed their good sense by not having d. NJ.
write the history spoken Of.
d. NJ. thinks we are deficient in literary attain.
menIs That Is we have have not been engaged
In writing "RandDm Thoughts, - shndcriug and
misrepresenting our nrighbOrs for IL number Of
wears, meddng and Interfering with every bOdys
business, and trying to make the people believe
we knew II all, morally politically 5ctnticNllN
and socially.
"We are violent coppcrhead, and was arrest
ed and sent to Camp Chase" Our reader, know
what copperhead means POLITICALLY opposition
10 tyranis and thieves, and in favor Of the old
Union, as our fathers made il with all the rights
of the States unimparcd. We admit that some
Internal, cowardly, lying scoundrcls hIack-hcart-
ed williams, hell-hOunds Of the same detcslablr
stripe and character Ol d. NJ. did by perjury have
Us arrested aud sent to Camp Chase. These per-
lured Williams did not at the time and have not
since dared to let me know their names. did
not say to future generations, that Jackson cOul-
ty ever sent single soldier 10 the war" This is
awful. We IN light have given the number OF sol
diers sent from the county, and have spoken Of
some of their brave acts ON the field of battle md
of their patriotic intentions and expectations.
But IN order TO have our history correct and Tree
from party prejudice we would have had to made
a record Of the number Of our ctlztns dragged
from their peaceful homes by authorized military
nobs, and without trial. law or justice. mcarccl-
ated in illthy basliIGs. We would have had to
mention the mObblng and shooting Of citizens
and the damnabe Outrages upon the rights Of the |
people by the notorious keith's buttcmut raid |
We would have had to state that these violations
OF law were insttguted and brought about by the |
centious teachings aud misrepresentation of
the foul mouthed, cOwardly backguard, who cd
tied the Standard at that time. We preferred not |
to mention the subject t-"Attempt to gl0rN |
few cOpperhead business men, Every body |
Knows We made no distinction In regard to poli- |
tics but stated names and tacts as they existed.
The business men, mentioned IN the sketch have
patronIzed d. NJ. libelally In the past. How |
