ADVERTISEMENTS,

Oh, no! You never ask for your money
but once: And you ask for nothing but
what you have honestly earned. And
do not make. it condition for giving
your support to a candidate that you be
paid for it. Not ataH. But why are you
SO bitter now in your opposition to the
reelection of Auditor Gibbs, unless it is
because he foiled you in your dirty trick.
and caught your hand just as you were
thrusting it unlawfully into the people
treasury. We would suggest that it
would look fully as honest to taxpayers,
if you had made it a condition for your
support of John N. Royse and the Com
missioners, to let them pay you direct,
and not have them pay you out of the
public treasury.
The people of Scioto county ought to
be exceedingly proud of you, and no
doubt the Democratic portion of them
are proud of you. And they ought to
take your advice and defeat Auditor
Gibbs, who appears to be about the only
honest official you have left in Scioto
county. Then you could have a soft
thing of it."

must needs come, but which, having con-
tinued through His appointed time, He
now wills to remove, and that He gives
to both North and South this terrible
war as the woe due to those by whom
the offense comes, shall we discern that
there is any departure from those divine
attributes which the believers in living
God always ascribe to him? Fondly do
we hope fervently do we pray that this
mighty scourge of war may speedily pass
away; yet, if God wills that it continue
until all the wealth piled by the bond
mans two hundred and fifty years of un-
requited toll shall be sunk, and until ev-
cry drop of blood drawn with the lash
shall be paid by another drawn with the
sword, as was said three thousand years
ago, so still it must be said that the judg

although with malice towards none, with
charity for all, with firmness in the right,
as God gives US to see the right, let US
strive to finish the work. We are to
bind up the nations wounds and care

Abraham Lincoln delivered his inau-
gural address at the commencement of
his second term of the Presidency March
4. 1865 That was a few days before his
martyrdom at the hand of the tool of
the Democratic party. In that address
he he said:
at may seem strange that any men
should dare to ask just Gods assistance
in wringing their bread from the sweat
of other mems faces"
Mr.. Lincoln had been speaking of both
parties in the rebellion praying for the
success of their cause. The present Gov
ernor of Ohio, while prating about liber-
ty, can justify wringing his bread from
the sweat of other mems faces. But per-
haps he never asks a just God for any
thing. If he did, he would not publicly
blaspheme His name, and show that he
is coarse an brutal man.
In his celebrated rebel speech of Sep
tember TO- 1868, Governor Allen gave
his opinion about wringing his bread
from the sweat of other mems faces, in
the following chaste language:
"Now what do they (the North) want
to do? They want to bring the negroes
back to the North, to make room for
them, to send as many white men of our
people as they can to the war, to be kill
ed. Now, my friends, l never justified
this rebellion, nor did l ever justify the
intermeddling spirit that gave being to
this rebellion. These abolitionists say
slavery is the cause of the war; l say it
is not They say slavery ought to be ex-
terminated; I say it ought nOH [Cheers. ]"
And in that same speech he said
Lincoln has shed enough blood to
float the Great Eastern, and how much
nearer the end does he get? His cry is
still for blood. The administration stands
on tip-toe every day, with its eyes dis
tended and its arm stretched forth, call
ing for more blood and more money.
And their preachers = those Chicago
priests that went to Detroit to get Lin
coin to bite at the forbidden fruit, to
commit the first act, the initial sin, by
the publication of an act emancipating
the slaves"
To free the slaves, in the opinion of
this low demagogue, was forbidden
fruit" the "initial sin. !"
Now hear in contrast the Christian
Statesman, this same Abraham Lincoln,
in that same inaugural address:
THE Almighty has His own purposes.
Woe unto the world because of its offens-
es, for it must needs be that offenses
come; but woe unto the man by whom
the offense cometh. If we shall suppose
that American slavery is one of these of
fenses which in the Providence of God

A LIAR CAUGHT.


A short time ago we mentioned the
fact that the editors of the Portsmouth
Times had attempted to get SS4 from
the taxpayers of Scioto county twice for
the same work, whereupon the Times
said:
"Mackley of the jackson Standard has
not yet denied that, at Columbus, he
looked upon the wine while it was red
and went back upon the principles of
lifetime. Recause we reproduced the
statement of those who were present, he
gets mad and's says we tried to draw money
from the taxpayers Of this county that
had already been paid. The old hypo-
critic knows better, and he retaliates by
falsehood. The money was not asked
for after it was paid, it was not applied
for but once, and the silly story that
Random Thoughts" repeats in retalia-
ton, shows he has no defense to make to
the charge of wine-bibbling. The Times
asks for nothing that it has not honestly
earned, and it does not make it condi-
ton for giving its support to candidate
that it be paid $500 or any other sum-"
Thinking we might have done the edi-
tors of the Times injustice, we wrote to
the Auditor of Scioto county, and request
ed him to give US the truth about the
matter, and send his bill, and we would
pay him for his trouble. The following
is his reply:

Andy johnson, of Tennessee, is dead.

Andy johnson, of Tennessee, is dead.
He was stricken with paralysis, and only
lived day or two. He was about sixty
seven years of age. He was elected U.
S. Senator from Tennessee last winter.
Andy Johnson's public life is no credit
to his memory. The people will remem-
Der him as a Democrat, then a Union
man during the war, which secured him
a place on the Republican ticket with
Lincoln in 1864. He was drunk and
publicly disgraced himself at his inaugu-
ration, March 4, 1865. On the murder
of Lincoln he became President, and
went square ov er to the rebels, where he
remained until his death.

PERSONAL RECoLLECTIoEs.
By THE EDITOR.

When Louisiana was sold to the United
States. Spain held the territory of Mexi
co as a colony. The line between the
United States purchase and the colony
of Mexico was in dispute for many years,
and was not settled until the year 1886,
when the Sabine River was agreed upon
as the line.
Serious trouble arose between Spain
and all her Am erican colonies as early as
the year 1910 Spain had several rich
colonies in South America, and the vast
territory of Mexico in North America
The revolt of Mexico resulted in the in
dependence of the country in the year
1924, or 1925. Mexico and all the South
American colonies which acquired their
independence. formed republican govern
ments, and slavery was prohibited in all
of them.
Prior to the revolution in Mexico,
many Americans settled in that part of
of the Mexican territory known as Texas.
The Mexican Government having a very
large extent of rich territory, encouraged
these settlements, and about the year
1920 made large grant of land to Moses
Austin, a citizen of the United States.
Adventures from the Southwest part of
the United States Went to Texas, and
took their slaves with them. As slavery
was unconstitutional in Mexico after her
independence, in the year 1925 the hold
ing of slaves in Texas necessarily caused
trouble The American settlers in Tex
as became so notoriously outlaws and
ruffians, that in the year 1880, Mexico
forbade any more coming into the coun-
try. But this law was not regarded, and
the Texan outlaws formed an indepen
dent government, and denied any ac
countibility to the Government of Mexi
CO. This led to war, which contipued
until the spring of 1886, when Santa
Anna, at the head of 1900 men, moved
into Texas. What few troops could be
raised in Texas, were commanded b!
Samuel Houston, half savage Demo
crat, who had fed from the home of hi
childhood, and had been brought "
among the most savage tribes of Indian
on the border. Houston retreated be
fore Santa Anna for long distance, bu
at San Jacinto he made a stand, ant
fighting in the savage style, he utterl
defeated the Mexicans. This battle,
think, was fought April l9, 1886. 500
after this, the United States, under tn
Democratic administration of Genera
jackson, fastened to acknowledge tn
independence ofthe new slaveholding re
public of Texas. 1t was not till the yea
1910 that Great Britain, Belgium, an
/ perhaps France, acknowledged the ind'
pendence of Texas. But MEXICO neve
: did acknowledge its independence, an
i continued to claim the territory, unit
the invasion of the country by the Unite
States, under the administration of Pres
ident Polk.

PATRIOTS AND TRAITORS.

Why is it that you never hear Demo
crat at the present day mention the
name of Stephen A. Douglass, the great
leader of the party in the memorable
campaign of fifteen years ago2 Here is
the reason. Douglas died in the summer
of 1861, soon after the Democratic rebel
lion commenced. But he lived long
enoogh to show that he was neither a
rebel nor a traitor. He made a speech
at Chicago on the first day of May, 1861
which was published in the Standard of
May g. 1861. After showing conclusive
ly that the rebels were utterly without
excuse, he said:
"But this is no time for a detail of
causes. The conspiracy is now known.
Armies have been raised. War is levied
to accomplish it. There are only two
sides to the question. Every man must
be for the United States or against it.
There can be no neutrals in this war,
only patriots or traitors.
Douglas was on the one side, William
Allen, now Democratic candidate for
Governor of Ohio, was on the other. In
his reasonable speech of September TO-
1868, he justified the rebellion, as fol
lows:
What could the South do? The North
had shown that it not only had the pow
er of seizing on the whole country, but
the Government and the South barely
stood by, knowing what they had to ex-
pect at the hands of their masters. What
could the South do if Lincoln and his
gang chose to pass laws to abolish slave
ry? What use would it be for the South
to say, "Oh, here's the Constitution
Mr.. Lincoln had nothing to do but to
say, Il, A. Lincoln, being elected by the
Northern States, have right to do
what please with the Southern States -
What could the South do? There it
was. Now who ever heard of man will
ling to hold the rights and interests sub
ject to the will, caprice, and good plea
sure of another man? l put that quess
ton to you in regard to your own pri-
vate affairs"

The Portsmouth Tribune is jealous be-
ing matter, and of much better quality
than the Tribune does, and at 25 per
cent. less cost, and because the live, SEN
sible citizens of Scioto county prefer the
lively STANDARD to the dull Tribune, and
hence it goes for its neighbors, and ap-
pears to think it can fatter them into
taking the Tribune. Hear it howl:
1.-THE Jackson Standard has what it
calls Portsmouth Notes They are made
up of items taken by some enterprising
genius from the Portsmouth papers. sent
up and published in the Standard, and
then sent back by Mackley to his Ports
mouth readers, and the latter think they
are getting the latest news and go round
and tell it to their neigh b8rs after the
facts have been forgotten here. This is
the class of people who are alwayssaying
a county paper don t amount to anything,
and then go off and subscribe for jour
nal published among the huckleberries
and ginseng of a neighboring county.
When they do look into home paper it
is only to cast about for typographical
errors, and if they find a letter upside
down or a word wrongly spelled they
will go chuckling and blinking to the
editor and call his attention to it in Ian
guage the grammar whereof would cause
all the defunct grammarians to turn in
their cofins. They are the class of peo
pie who think the railroad will never be
built and that the town had better be
fenced in, and that things are going tc
the devil generally. They think the
public schools do more harm than good
and let their children run the streets
sooner than have them exposed to the
'contaminating influence of the educa
tional institutions. They-but 'pshaw
whats the use of talking about it?

pounce upon it with avidity and it inva-
riably appears in the Tribune of next
week. In fact his feelings on the sub
ject of dogs amounts to mania against
them. His speciality is to publish sta
tistics as to the number of sheep destroy
ed by dogs. Whenever he can find any
thing on that subject he is sure to clip it
and publish it. If you feel curiosity to
test Macs madness on this subject, insert
some extracts from Ohio or other sta
tistics on the subject of sheep destroyed
by dogs and then watch Macs paper

A short time ago we promised that II
our beloved Brother Chapman, of the
Pomeroy Telegraph, should be called be-
fore we were, we would do our best upon
his obituary. Little then did we think
that we would be called upon so soon to
perform this most pleasant duty.
We have not received the Telegraph
for two weeks, and we began to fear the
worst, when on last Saturday we saw in
the Middleport News an article about
Bro. Chapman, which concluded as fol-
lows:
He died fighting such intolerance and
his death will be no lasting dishonor.
That tells it. But we have kind of
vague hope that the above is only fig
-ure of speech, and refers to political
death, because we see in the same paper,
as the result of convention, the follow
ing:
O. B. Chapman, Alban Davis and Jerry
Carpenter, were put in nomination for
Representative: j. L. Carpenter, Is
votes, o. B. Chapman, 16, and Alban Da-
Wis Sc; moved and seconded nomination
be made unanimous.
