1 Mr.. EDITOR In the Union of
last week appeared an article des-
criI tive of the excursion trip made
by so many of our citizens the week
before to the "Islands ofLake Erie"
written by "One of EN-" in which
appears the following passage, viz !:
II have net mentioned Glbralter,
the summer home of Jay Cooke,
which, of right, ought to belong to
the people, as it was bought and
paid for out of the funds procured
by the sale of Government Bonds" !"
"V right, ought to belong to the
people," indeed Was not Jay Cooke
employed by the government to
labor in its behalf? Did he not so
labor to the extent of millions of
dollars? -? Did he not prove honest
in the discharge of his duties ;? Did
he not account for every dollar
which came into his hands? Was
he not faithful servant? The
country knows all this to be true
Then, why not applaud him for his
integrity? The Government only
paid him, as it agreed, for work
done, a fair commission for such
work, and through that honest agent
saved millions of dollars, and Jay
Cook had the same right to do with
his own. honest earnings as he
pleased, the same as "One of EN-
has the right to do. "Of right"
then this excursionist thinks be-
cause man honestly makes money,
by laboring for the Government
under the rule Of .Republicanism, he,
Mr.. Excurtionist, should have part
Of tt, because he did not earn any of
it! But the trouble is that Jay Cooke
sold those "worthless Bonds! Ah,
yes, Bonds and niggers are still
copperhead stock in trade!
Any "Niggars down dar," Mr..
Zone of En- 2? We guess not, or
you would have smeH him, sure!
We would suggest that when
Zone of En- goes on another ex-
cursion that he go direct to Hog
Creek Marsh !! where his eyes will
not meet any improvements which
are part of natures charms, and
where those terrible Bonds, sold as
they had to be to Iut down his spa
triotic and braue'' rebel brothers in
arms, nor any thing resulting from
them, may not rise up and turn his
soul still against the prosperity and
liberty of his country, saved, as it
has been, from rebel hands, against
his will!
Ho! then, lone of En-" for ''Hog
Creek Marsh" next time! That, no
doubt, will please the fancy of all
radical copperheads!
Must Excursion parties have the
memory of their joys slimed over
with political plaster?
Will the time ever come when
men, who "wouzd be politiciams,"'
will add to the joys of such oc-
casions? If not, then let them
advertise Political Excursions, and
blow all they please.
Again "One of En- says of the
Islands; "First, Johnson's Island,
noted as. being the place where
Southern prisoners were detained
during the war; &c. Ah, YES I!
"Southern prisoners" name more
dear than that of "Jay Cook who
stood by and fought not against the
Government in it's hour of need !!
Jay Cook, an honest, capable and
true citizen, must be associated with
thieves because he served the country
when in need, whilst those who
fought to destroy it-rebels and
traitors-are softly called "South erm
prisoners! In the eyes of "One of
'Ean'' then let Johnson's Island be
called "hozy sotl," and Gibralter-
the beautiful home of Jay Cook
stand as an Eyesore to treason and
lite every sympathizer, to the end OF
time!
But a few days ago the Bucyrus
Forum was full of'praises for Rose.
Grams, but as soon as it learned of
the Generals declinations, it an

with great joy as follows:

most severely rebuked.
