explained at great length. Also, as to
the direction in which a man falls when
shot) Saw no person hunting for wad-
ding Was with Dever much of the time.
Do not know whether he was searching
for wadding
DR.. Boggess was with Aieshire, and we
thus referred to his testimony:
DIR. Boggess.-This witness gave sub
stantially the same testimony as Aleshire
and Welsh, who were with him when the
ground was examined, and the localities
pointed out by the boy Hayth.
There is no more honest or truthful
man in Jackson county than DR.. Boggess,
agreement in their testimony has some
thing to do with the case We did not
intimate that any part of Mr.. Aleshire's
testimony was not true. We said he
went to the verge of falsehood with his
testimony. That is, he went to the edge,
and looked over; but we do not wish to
be understood as saying that his testi-
mony was not true. What we objected
to, was the active part he took in the
case 1t was none of his business Why
did he not conduct himself as the other
witnesses who had been with him? We
appeal to the large crowd of persons who
attended that trial to remember the
difference in the conduct of Aleshire and
Welsh and Boggess. Their testimony
was substantially the same, but Boggess
and Welsh conducted themselves with
propriety, while Aleshire was continually
excited, whispering to the attorneys
for the defense, and prompting them.
That does not look well on the part of a
witness, and we only referred to this to
show the character of the man. He does
he does with all his might. This is well
known TO all the school teachers of the
county, who have met him at our Insti-
tutes. The great danger in such man
holding an important Office is, that his
headstrong nature may lead him to do a
great wrong, perhaps entirely unknown
to himself
This trait in Mr. Aleshire's character
is what led him to be brave and good
soldier in the Union army. His party
was all the time asserting that the war
was an unjust and unconstitutional inva-
sion of the South that the South ought
not to be, and could not be conquered;
that the war should at once be stopped
on the part of the Government. Vallan-
digham held these views, and at the su-
preme moment, when the sorely pressed
soldiers needed re-enforcements, Vallan-
digham made speech, in which he did
all he could to prevent enlistments, and
for this he was arrested, tried, and sent
to his friends, the rebels While he was
f thus banished, for such a crime, Mr.. Ale
Mr. Aleshire was at that time in the
Union army. By his vote, he substan-
TALLY said: True we soldiers are en-
gagged in an unconstitutional invasion OF
the South. We are thieves, robbers and
; murderers. We have failed so far to ac-
complish our purpose, and we will con-
tinue to fail, and we ought to fail We
do not want any more soldiers to come
to our aid, because then we might sue
ceed in this nefarious old John Brow n
raid of robbery and murder. But will
| do my full duty as a soldier, to make
} this gigantic scheme Of robbery and MUIR
der success" That is just what his
: vote for Vallandigham said
= Mr.. Aleshire is man of more than
| ordinary intelligence and general infor-
nation. He cannot plead ignorance
If he believed what Vallandigham and
his party claimed, and had refused to
fight for the wrong, and had gone to
Canada, we could have respected MIN
more than to engage zealously in wal
that he knew was unjust, unconstitution
al and wrong
