Prophecy Fulfilled.

"If the internal fanatics and abolition
i.ts ever get power in their hands they
will override the Constitution, set the
Supreme Court at defiance, change and
make laws to suit themselves, lay violent
hands on those who differ with them in
their opinions or dare to question their
Availability, and finally bankrupt the
country and deluge it with blood. Dan

EEThe v. T. WoHd'S hub-bub about
the withdrawal Of SEYMOUR and BLAIR
has amounted to just as much as its arti-
Gle reading Vallandigham out Of the
Democratic party-nothing. The World
is owned by the gold gamblers, and SEY-
MouR being pledged to the payment of
the 500 bonds in greenbacks, they were
determined to have him set aside. But
their efforts amounted to the wind ex-
pended by the World and nothing more.

Now, who is this WILDEs who COM
plains and VIII ON no one respects.
He is lawyer of Athens, and was Col.
of the fT6th Ohio. Citizens of Benton
township inform us that when his Regi-
ment was in the Valley of Virginia, he
ordered Mr. RING, sick soldier, out of
an ambulance to make room for NE
GRO WENCHES.
He drew his sword on Mr.. GEORGE
WAY, Monroe County soldier, and
damned him that be would cut his head
off, for talking politics.
There are at this time soldiers of his
Regiment, living in Monroe County,
who would shoot him at sight.
Finally, he has the reputation of being
the most profane thing in this District.

New York, called the "wickedest man"

what he is, let them inquire of the sol

ATHENS, ONO, October IA, 1868.
EDITOR MEssESGEE:
Ny attention has been called to the
following published in the Spirit Of De-
aaocracy and purporting to be an extract
from speech nade by me at Matamoras,
Washington County, some weeks since:
Monroe County soldiers were Copper
heads before the war, Copperheads du-
ring the war, and will 90 to Hell Copper
he Ids. where the Deyil'will have a good
time roasting it out Of them Now, |
Pronounce the statement that | used
sleh language, or any language bearing
such construction, as talse. and the
man who publishes it as being used by
me as base calnmiaator and wilful liar.
Respectfully, dc,
THos L. WuDEs.
The above denial coming from the
source it does is no evidence whatev-
er to the people of Monroe County, that
/ the letter from Matamoras, signed by
respectable gentlemen, is untrue.
Here is the letter:
MArAMoEAs, Ono, September IS, 1868.
WHEREAS, Monroe County sent three
thousand of her gallant sons to the field
to assist in suppressiilg the rebellion !;
and, -
WHEREAS, Many Of those brave men
sealed with their blood their devotion to
their country; and,
: WHEREAS, Col. Wildes, in his late
speech in this place, did say that Mon
ROE COUNTY SOLDIERS WERE CoPpER-
HEADS BEFORE TIE WAR, CoPPEE-
HEADS DURING THE WAR, AND WILL co
To HE'LL CePPERHEADs, WHERE THR DEv-
II. WILL HAVE a GOOD TIME ROASTING IT
OUT OF THEN" and other things demn-
ciatory of the brave soldiers of Monroe
County, therefore,
Resolced, That the crime of slandcr-
ing, the honorable dead, wounded, or
even unscathcd defenders of our nation 5
honor, is one of such horrid, unnatu-
raj, namel IS and unllcard of character,
that we know of no language
capable Of expressing its supreme helm
BUSINESS, and unparalleled diabolicalness.
Resolred, That the bastard william who
would thus calumniate the immortal dead
who went down amid the smoke and din
of battle, defending their comtry's flag,
aad the llustrious living returned heroes,
many of whom bear honorable scars, re
eeived while in the horrid front of the
sulphuro,,s sirocco of red battle, is a
being so loathsome, cold -blooded, obi
GUS and hyena like, that we call upon all
persons, and especially all soldiers, re-
