THE SOLDIERS FRIEND!

J. W. Bowen, editor of the Near
thur Enquirer, i'll his paper last week
said:
"The soldiers friend C?)-Charles Foster. How
he loves 'em ~
This same patriot, Bowen, was edi-
tor of the Jackson Express during the
Democratic rebellion, and on the Dist
day of January, 1864, he wrote and
published i'll the Express the follow
ing:
1.-The 1.-The Old John Brown raid on the South
iSs) is allowed to drag its slow length along for
the benefit of Army contractor; shoddyites,
people rise up as one man and declare that
they will not pay plnnderers and thieves for
Will people awaken"
Last week patriot Bowen said:
"Charles Foster cannot wave the bloody shirt
pied Rice"
On the 25th Of February. 1864, this
bloody shirt tail hero, Bowen, said in
the Express:
''THE COST OF THIS OLD JOHN BROWN RAID ON
THE SOUTH.
| The cost of this Old John Brown Raid on the
people and property of the South, so far,
| amounts TO the enormous sum Of 81 . 100000
and even these figures, upon examinnt on, will
| be found TO be below the mark. The party now
| in power scout al all compromise and declare
IL be their fixed determination to carry on the
war to the bitter end, and if the people of tn is
country are mad enough to extend their term
OF once by their votes next fall, through an
other Presidential term, the debt by that tim e
Will Will at t. the ne same late of expenditure amount
To this his @ enormous waste of material wealth
add 100000 of human lives sacrificed and an
r71nt fNftr
and all must agree that it is rather a high price
to pay for freeing three or four million niggers
jority of white people here in the north.''
On the 31st of March. 1864. this
hero Bowen, in the Express, said:
"The Union army is stronger than it was one
year ago, by two hundred thousand [Stand
ard.
One year ago the Standard and other lying
disunion Abolition papers said the 'Southerr
over," etc. Now, a little Abolition paper mo
exactly a greenback) tells us that the ''army il
dred thousand ~ If the rebellion was pu
down and JEFF. Davis burnt in effigy, one yea
ago, why has Lincoln called for seven hundred
thousand men within the past three months
The honest truth is, two millions of men have
for the purpose of coercing a number of sover
eign States into a consolidation, and have fail
ed. War will not unite the North and South.
And in the same paper, in another
place, he said:
"PEACE There are signs of PEACE, dea
reader but not of humanity and reason. Peac
will come before long. 1t will come in spite O
those ood-thirsty Abolition tyrants who cry
"war" and "blood." How? 1t is comin
through bankruptcy"
In his paper Of July %, 1854, h,
said:
s'What do honest Democrats think of the Sc
cesSionists of this county, and especially thos
of Jackson township.'-[Standard.
By the term "honest Democrats" the Stand
ard editor means those Democrats who, at tn
commencement of this Old John Brown Rail
on the South, went over to the Abolition part
for office and greenbacks. For instance, Johi
NJ. Martin, the candidate on the off1ce-seeker
ticket for County Recorder, is an "honest Dem
ocrat." He once acted with the Democrats an
received his share of abuse from the Standar
editor and other diSunioniStS. When the wa
commenced, he concluded to join the notoriou
band of thieves and murdereTs"
