"That Thieving Crusade"

Last week the Prairie du Chen
Courier called the war to save the
Union "thieving ru.ade." Where
upon the Union cent for that heath
en- Chinee But the Courier does
not take back anything. On the
contrary it says
And so ii was, as we have heard hundreds
Of brave men declare, who carried the muskei
in defence of the Union. Why, we can bring
soldiers who served all through the war, and
were honerably discharged who know the
facts, and they denounce the whole wicked
strife as melted by designing men, and kept up
on pretext to give. favorites license to
plumber. We know Union soldiers who will
tell of corruption, robbery and wrong perpe-
trated by radical shoulder.strapped politicians,
which sgave to the war its title of 'thieving
crusade" These are men of veracity, who are
knowing TO the facts that corruption permeat-
ed every department, and even the blood and
bones of the soldiers were speeulated with.
The editor of the Courier tried to
publish that editorial while the war
was going on, but company of
soldiers honored him with u visit and
under their pressing solicitations he
took back what he did say and
promised not TO intimate anything of
the kind again. as long as those
radical shoulder-strapped poll
ticians" were quartered there he kept
his word, but like all other rebels,
north and south, he will treat the
Union and Union soldiers with re-
spect only as long as there is
Union guard over him. Now let
the Courier nams some of the
soldiers to whom it refers. Name
just one of those Hundreds of brave
mon who carried the musket in de-
fence OF the Union" and who calls
the war he was engaged in "thiev
ing crusade" Clearly in the mind
of the Courier "thieving crusade" and
"defence of the Union" are convert
ible terms the one means the same
as the other. Who are the. soldiers
who denounco the war as "wicked
strife melted by designing men ?" If
there are any such soldiers they are
the "designing," corrupt, "thiev-
ing" blood thirsty villains themselves
and followed the tents of the "radi-
Gals" merely that they might find
favorable opportunity to betray it
into the hands of its enemies and the
enemies of the Union. Tell US who
your soldiers are, Mr.. Courier. They
belong to you now; we do not know
them. BY the way, the Courier is
just like the laundering Confederates
who have got into Congress. They
haven't prudence TO keep still till
they get out Of the woods.

Greeley no man knows better than
Shammy Tilden how "public bust

The Old Skeleton.

Barnum once employed man to
get him up very large skeleton
which he designed to bury in Indiana
for year or two and then have it
dug up by accident and with it he
would make the people believe there
were giants of old. When The skel-
eton was ready he found himself 9TH
er~ise profltably engaged ana he told
his man to dispose of it as he saw fit;
he had no use for it. Seven years
afterwards he received from the
South an account of . gigantic skele.
ton that had been found, accompan
led with certificates of scientific and
medical men as to it's commences,
The owner asked $4,000 for it and
Barnum wrote that he would take it
if it was as represented and if not,
would pay expenses. Ii was brought
on and he fonnd it to be his own
original humbug' He refused it and
never after heard from it. The peo-
ple once got up Democratic party.
1t was very pretentions party.
The people became engaged in a
struggle to save the country
The Democratic party had pretend-
ed to be giant aole for any under
taking. On examination, said party
was found TO be fraud. The people
had no use for it. After fifteen years
a monster skeleton has been exhum-
ed at the South, and the resurrectors
are advertising it as giant of the
olden times. On inspection it proves
to be the same old hnmbug Demo-
cratic party. In November the peo-
pie will bury it so deep it will never
again come out of its home in Hades

The Change.

Gov. Cham berlain, of South Caro-

the Southern banditti ard their

elected as Republican, but papers
and men of honor were urging that
he be taken up as the candid.ts of
the Democrats lest some carpet-bag-
ger or scalawag should be nominated
by the Republicans and get his place.
The reason of this was, Chamberlain
had ousted number OF corrupt off !.
