making search for anything that might
aid in eirecting an escape, The Jail door
was not open, only the trap-door, which
trap is barely large enough for q man to

out, in charge Of John O Brien, "a guard ],
doing drudgery, which was, at this time,
only to empty water from buckets in
which prisoners had washed themselves.

JACKSON G. H., OHIO THURSDAY, OCTOBER l. 1863

President of the United States was an
imbecile; that in all his acts he was
governed by an intense hatred Of the
South; that he was n tyrant and des-
pot, and was constantly aiming to sub
jugate and .humiliate the people Of the
South. They proclaimed the war a
failure almost at the very hour that it
was becoming the grandest of triumphs;
they arraigned their own Government
for violating the Constitution, and tax.
ing away the rights and destroying the
liberties Of the people, but censured the
Davis Government for nothing; they
apologized for the rebel atrocities at
Fort Pillow and AndersOnville; they
magnifed the genius and abilities Of the
rebel chieftains and belittled the achieve
ments of the Union leaders; and they
are to-day holding up for the veneration
and admiration of mankind the So call
ed virtues of the military leader OF the
most atrociously criminal rebellion in
all history, and at the same time are
not only disparaglng the great achieve
ments but viIlfying and defaming the
character ofthe great chieftain to whose
courage and skill we are indebted for
the final triumph over the last armed
enemies Of the United States
And now this same Democratic par
ty Of the North has combined with all
these public enemies which have just
been vanquished by the loyal armies OF
the Union, to disgrace and defeat that
chosen leader of the Union hosts by
whom. theyf were vanquished. The
rebels, with the aid of the Democratic
party North, hope to gain that victory
over Grant in peace which they were
never able to gain in war. These are
some of the crimes for which the Dem
ocratic party will be held to answer by
the people in November and in after
years,
