W.W. Owen, Democratic candidate for jailer: "Equal rights to all--exclusive privileges to none." Fellow citizens: The Louisville Democrat of the 26th June contains an editorial so entirely consonant with my views that I cannot restrain my desire to lay portions of it before you in the form of a circular. ... Our opinion is, that there are no greater enemies to the restoration of the Union that the abolition partisans at Washington. ... It is convenient to charge those who denounce the schemes of this dominant party with sympathy with the rebellion. It is a cheap mode of defense. ... I wish votes, but only upon honorable terms, nor do I wish the vote of any abolitionist or any one sympathizing with that unpatriotic and detestable party
