Speaking of Mr.. Fabing, the last
weeks Messenger says:
''He is an extreme Radical-has been very
abusive toward Democrats"
In 1852, when Toney was in the full
glory of shoulder straps, and before he
had been to. Shiloh,-or left it in a
hurry--he made a speech at the depot,
in which be denounced the Democracy,
one and all, singular and plural, in un-
measured terms, 'COpperhesd" was a
choice morsel for him to roll under his
tongue, and 'traitor' was hissed from
between his teeth with venom that
makes some Of his Democratic friends
ears tingle yet and "cOwards" and
s'sneaks," were light terms in which he
spoke of those whom he now expects 10
vote for him for Office. Fabing has diff
fered with Democrats always, and sup
ported the war all through, but he
never resorted to such vituperation.
Same paper says:
uTbe Radical party is in favor of taxing
the poor widows COW and household goods
to pay the war debt and exempt from taxa
ton the bonds and stocks of the rich man.
So is Fred Fabing."
Such is not the case. The Republi-
can party as represented in the general
government, taxes all alike. 1t is the
income from the property, and moi
the property itself which is taxed
But the Democratic party, by legisIat-
ing to tax the bonds, as it did last win.
ter, legislated to tax every species Of
property. For if fifty dollars, invested
IN bonds should be taxed, by the general
.oovar. .1ment, the same amount invested
in cor would also be subject to tax
q.i,on. or th>a tax would be unequal!
R,,t the Democs sacy have not enforced
tbolow they passed, even here in the
nomoora. &c County Of Sandusky, and
thew virtually admit that this cry they
are continually T. Using, is false one.
But what of Toney, when he spOrted
shoulder straps. He G''dnt tax the
poOr widows COW, oh, no. But he got
a poor man named Swetzler in
toxicated and then induced him to sign
the company roll. Yet Swetzler was
the sole dependence of his family.
Toney came back after him, had him
arrested and tried, and carried him of
to the war, and he probably left him
at Shiloh when he took his departure
on a mule.
Captain Young was a soldier. Right or
,oropq, he entered the services OF his country
so DO what he consciously believed to be
his duty. Fred Fabing did not enlist but
rather sought 10 force in poor men with
large families.
Which was it, ''rlght or wrong r
Evidently Van is not prepared to say.
sTo do what he consciously believed to
be his duty" Whenl at Shiloh, and
with the mule! Fred Fabing did no
such thing as charged. He put two
men in the army, who were willing to
go, but sought to force no one
The Messenger then exhorts every
Democrat to vote, for Toney, because
sshe is the nominee of the party" Yes,
but not its choice. He then assigns the
reason why they should vote for him
"because he viii support the Demo
cratic press" That's the secret Of the
matter. You are asked to vote for a
man notoriOusly incompetent and who
was forced upon you as your party
candidate by set of trcksters, simply
"because he win support the Democratic
press" "Only this and nothing more.
