pied for life and the Government
had no further use for him, so he
received an honorable discharge and
was given small pension, not
enough to keep body and soul
together. He is a cripple, he is
thrown out upon the charities rof
the world. He can't work, soY He
buys him a hand organ the savings
of his pension money, and starts
out to make an honorable living.
He is noticed by one of Uncle Sans
Revenue. officers, who bluntly asks
bin whether he has taken out Ii
cense to grind his machine. The sol,
dier points him to his limb and re-
plies, there is my license to earn my
bread, I fought for the Government
and this is my only means Of sup,
port. Very true sir, but the Gov
ernment must have Revenue. So the
one legged soldier gives him Fen
Dollars for the privilege of grinding
his machine"
Now. in regard to this piece Of
slang, would ask the Editor of the
Union. to answer me afew questions
You appear to have so much sympa-
thy for the soldier, please tell me
how many soldiers are candidates
on your State ticket. if any? But
we will come little nearer home
How many have you on your county
ticket, and how many were defeated,
and by whom? For fear he will
not answer, l will. Not one. How
many were defeated A number
By whom? BY men who sympa,
thized with treason, by men that
armed themselves to resist the
draft Now Mr.. Editor. look at the
nomination on both sides and ask
yourself what party sympathizes
with the soldier. Mr.. Editor the
people will think you are deranged.
or else dishonest. If deranged,
when you left Fort Wayne you
should not have stopped this side
Of Columbus, for they are better
prepared to keep you there than we
are. II dishonest, stay where you
are, for you might go farther and
fare worse. The ring here will pro-
tect you, our ballot-box is cotrolled
by money and whisky, our courts Of
justice have been barter and sale
There have been murders committed
in our County, those who commit
ted them are running at large with
the exception of those that the ven,
geance of just God has overtaken.
Now a few words to TIE voters of
Wyandot- County. We are on the
eve of an election which should
interest every one of us, especially
the laboring class OF community,
and as friend, L would say to you,
beware OF false teachers, who come
to you in the shape of deceitful poll
iticians, whose hearts are full of
deceit, whose tongues are coated
with the oil of deception, seeking
whom the may deceive, showing
you the mote in your brothers eye,
and neglecting the beam in their
own. Now kind reader, it is high
time that we should look to our
own interest. Self interest is the
beginning Of wisdom. Are you not
satisfied that the leaders of both
parties have been taking the advan-
tage of the laboring class, and as
we must judge the future by the
past, what can we expect Nothing
that can benefit the laboring man.
The will of the capitalist is,the con.
stitution that governs US as people
The leaders of both parties are bad
men. Let us reason together, let
us cease to do evil and learn to do
we'll. We have been politically
cursed We have voted for party
without regard to principle. Now
let us go to the polls and vote as
honest men. Could you vote for a
man to fill an Office of trust, in your
county, who would not support
your government in time Of danger.
Can you support saloon keeper,
not only on a week day, but on the
sabbath the man mho promised the
people that if they would give him
the nomination, he would sell out
and quit the business. He sold out,
secured the nomination, crossed the
street, and is now following the
same occupation; and as Adam the
first was cast out of the garden of
Eden, for disobeying the command.
of God, and a sentecce passed that.
from that time forward, he should
earn his bread by the sweat of his
brow, 1 hope that the vote Of the
people of this county this fall, will:
say to Adam Stutz, of the whisky
ring notoriety. learn your bread by
honest industry And still they
come. Can you support member
of the secret society, who met at
the dead hour of night, to plot trea=
son armed to the teeth to resist the
draft.-Oh! Myers. And still there
are Others. Great God where are
we drifting3 /
Is this the land of Washington
and Of Jefferson Is this the land
that could once boast of a free re-
public? Ifso, how can you support
men for office that would plot trea-
son againt the best government
that the sun ever shone upon. Yes,.
this is the land of w ashington,J jeff
erson and Jackson whose memories
live in the minds of the American
people, and it is also the land of
John G. Calhoun, the plotter of
treason, Of whom Jackson said on
his death bed, that he had regretted
